Description

本発明は、合成樹脂シート製の袋を製造する場合等に好適に用いられるシール加工方法、袋の製造方法、シール加工装置及び袋の製造設備に関する。   The present invention relates to a seal processing method, a bag manufacturing method, a seal processing apparatus, and a bag manufacturing facility that are suitably used when manufacturing a bag made of a synthetic resin sheet.

従来、例えば、ポリエチレン製の気泡シートの製袋には、シールバーを用いたヒートシール方式や、インパルスシール方式が多用されている(例えば、特許文献1を参照)。すなわち、加熱したままのシールバーで気泡シートを加圧溶断するヒートシール方式、及びニクロム線にて気泡シートを押さえつけ通電することにより気泡シートを加熱溶断するインパルスシール方式が知られている。これらは、どちらの方法も気泡シートを加熱して融着溶断している。   Conventionally, for example, a heat seal method using a seal bar or an impulse seal method has been widely used in the production of polyethylene bubble sheets (see, for example, Patent Document 1). That is, there are known a heat sealing method in which a bubble sheet is pressed and fused with a heated seal bar, and an impulse sealing method in which the bubble sheet is heated and fused by pressing and energizing the bubble sheet with a nichrome wire. In both methods, the bubble sheet is heated and fused and cut.

しかし、これらの製袋方法によりポリプロピレン製の気泡シートを加工すると、加熱不足によるシール不良や口開き、加熱しすぎによる糸引き等の問題が多発し、良品を得ることが難しかった。これは、ポリプロピレンの温度と溶融張力の変化が大きく、強固に融着させながら糸を引かないように加工することができる温度範囲が狭く、気泡シートの厚みの変化に対応して温度を微妙にコントロールすることが非常に難しかったことによるものである。   However, when polypropylene foam sheets are processed by these bag making methods, problems such as poor sealing due to insufficient heating, opening of the mouth, stringing due to excessive heating, etc. frequently occur, making it difficult to obtain good products. This is because the temperature of the polypropylene and the melt tension change greatly, the temperature range that can be processed so as not to pull the yarn while fusing firmly is narrow, and the temperature is subtly responding to the change in the thickness of the bubble sheet This is because it was very difficult to control.

特に、気泡シートは周知のように中空の気泡を持つが、その気泡部は外部からの圧力に対しダンパーとして働き、圧力を減殺する。そのために、ヒートシール方式やインパルスシール方式で融着・溶断をしようとして加圧すると、気泡シートの気泡部には十分な圧力が加わらず、破線状にシール面が口開きを起こしてしまう。特に、気泡シートのフィルム厚が大きく、気泡部の強度が大きくなるとこの現象が起きやすい。すなわち、ヒートシール方式やインパルスシール方式は、外部から熱を加える方法であるため、シール面を十分に融着・溶断させるために、強い圧力を加える必要があった。   In particular, the air bubble sheet has hollow air bubbles as is well known, but the air bubble portion acts as a damper against the pressure from the outside to reduce the pressure. For this reason, when pressurization is performed so as to be fused or melted by a heat seal method or an impulse seal method, sufficient pressure is not applied to the bubble portion of the bubble sheet, and the sealing surface opens in a broken line shape. In particular, this phenomenon easily occurs when the film thickness of the bubble sheet is large and the strength of the bubble portion is increased. That is, since the heat sealing method and the impulse sealing method are methods of applying heat from the outside, it is necessary to apply a strong pressure in order to sufficiently fuse and melt the sealing surface.

その後、発明者の調査によれば、ポリエチレンのように温度変化とともにゆるやかに溶融張力の変化する樹脂は少なく、例えば脂肪族ポリエステルやポリ乳酸をはじめとする多くの樹脂はポリプロピレンのように急激に溶融張力が変化する樹脂であることがわかった。   After that, according to the inventor's investigation, there are few resins whose melt tension changes slowly with temperature change like polyethylene, and many resins such as aliphatic polyester and polylactic acid melt rapidly like polypropylene. It was found to be a resin with changing tension.

ところで近時、強度や耐熱性あるいは環境面の配慮等から、ポリエチレン以外の合成樹脂シートを用いた袋に対する要望が高まってきている。そのため、本発明者らは、ポリエチレンだけでなく、前述したポリプロピレン等の合成樹脂シートを用いた袋を歩留まりよく製造するための研究を行った。その結果、気泡シートの接合すべき部位に超音波を作用させることにより前述した不具合を解消または軽減させることができることが判明した。すなわち、気泡シートに分子振動を発生させる過程において、気泡部分が底付きを起こしていれば自己発熱により融着するので、それほど強く加圧することなく良好な接合強度を確保することができることがわかった。   Recently, there has been an increasing demand for bags using synthetic resin sheets other than polyethylene, in consideration of strength, heat resistance, environmental considerations, and the like. For this reason, the present inventors conducted research to produce not only polyethylene but also a bag using the above-described synthetic resin sheet such as polypropylene with high yield. As a result, it has been found that the above-described problems can be eliminated or reduced by applying ultrasonic waves to the portions to be joined of the bubble sheet. In other words, in the process of generating molecular vibrations in the bubble sheet, it was found that if the bubble part is bottomed out, it is fused by self-heating, so that good bonding strength can be ensured without applying too much pressure. .

また、そのような超音波を用いる場合に、超音波の作用によって融着のみ行う場合にあっては、シール面の中間を刃物で切って個別の袋としなければならない。ところが、シール位置の下流でシール面を切断することも考えられるが、ピンチロール等の自動送り手段を介して送ると、気泡シートは伸縮が激しく、所定の位置、すなわちシール面の中間を正確に切断することができないという問題も生じていた。   Further, when such ultrasonic waves are used, if only fusion is performed by the action of ultrasonic waves, the middle of the seal surface must be cut with a blade to form individual bags. However, it is conceivable to cut the sealing surface downstream of the sealing position. However, if the sheet is fed through an automatic feeding means such as a pinch roll, the bubble sheet is intensely expanded and contracted. There was also a problem that it could not be cut.

このような究明結果は、気泡シートだけでなく、内部に空洞を有する合成樹脂シート全般に当てはまる、という事実も明らかになった。   It has also been clarified that such investigation results apply not only to the bubble sheet but also to all synthetic resin sheets having cavities inside.

本発明は、以上のような課題及び究明結果に基づいてなされたもので、少なくとも、内部に空洞を形成するための立体構造を有した合成樹脂シートを良好に接合することが難しい、という課題を解消するものである。   The present invention has been made on the basis of the above problems and investigation results, and at least the problem that it is difficult to satisfactorily bond a synthetic resin sheet having a three-dimensional structure for forming a cavity inside. It will be solved.

本発明は、以上のような課題を解決するために、次のような構成を採用したものである。すなわち、本発明に係る合成樹脂シートのシール加工方法は、内部に空洞を形成するための立体構造を有してなる合成樹脂シートを重ね合わせ、その重ね合わせた合成樹脂シートの接合すべき部位に超音波を作用させて前記合成樹脂シートの素材の一部を発熱させ溶融させるとともに、その接合すべき部位に前記空洞が潰れる方向の機械的な圧縮力を加えることによって前記合成樹脂シートの接合すべき部位を接合させることを特徴とする。   The present invention employs the following configuration in order to solve the above-described problems. That is, the method for sealing a synthetic resin sheet according to the present invention includes a method of superposing synthetic resin sheets having a three-dimensional structure for forming a cavity therein, and attaching the synthetic resin sheets to the portions to be joined. The synthetic resin sheet is joined by applying a mechanical compressive force in a direction in which the cavities are crushed to a portion to be joined, while applying ultrasonic waves to heat and melt a part of the material of the synthetic resin sheet. It is characterized by joining the power parts.

このようなものであれば、超音波によって合成樹脂シートに分子振動が発生するため、自己発熱によって接合すべき部位が溶融状態となる。そのため、小さな押圧力によって合成樹脂シートの内部の空洞を圧潰することができ、その圧潰作用と前述した自己発熱とによって接合すべき部位が融着する。そのため、合成樹脂シートの接合すべき部位が口開き等の問題を起こすことなく接合され、合成樹脂シートが内部に空洞を形成するための立体構造を有していたとしても良好に接合することができる。   If it is such, since a molecular vibration will generate | occur | produce in a synthetic resin sheet with an ultrasonic wave, the site | part which should be joined will be in a molten state by self-heating. Therefore, the cavity inside the synthetic resin sheet can be crushed by a small pressing force, and the parts to be joined are fused by the crushing action and the self-heating described above. Therefore, the parts to be joined of the synthetic resin sheet are joined without causing problems such as opening of the mouth, and even if the synthetic resin sheet has a three-dimensional structure for forming a cavity inside, it can be joined well. it can.

また、重ね合わせた合成樹脂シートの接合すべき部位の近傍をクランプ部材によりクランプし、そのクランプ状態で前記接合すべき部位に超音波と圧縮力とを作用させて接合すれば、超音波や圧縮力により合成樹脂シートに上下方向の力が加わっても、接合すべき部位の近傍がしっかりと保持されるので、所望の接合すべき部位で適切に接合することができる。   In addition, if the vicinity of the part to be joined of the overlapped synthetic resin sheets is clamped by a clamp member, and the part to be joined is joined by applying an ultrasonic wave and a compressive force in the clamped state, the ultrasonic wave or the compression Even if a force in the vertical direction is applied to the synthetic resin sheet by force, the vicinity of the part to be joined is firmly held, so that it is possible to appropriately join at the desired part to be joined.

接合すべき部位の所定位置を正確に切断して合成樹脂シート同士を分断または分断可能な状態にするには、前記接合を行った後、前記クランプ状態を解除する前に、接合された部位を刃物を用いて切り離すようにすればよい。   In order to accurately cut the predetermined positions of the parts to be joined and to sever or sever the synthetic resin sheets, after joining, before releasing the clamped state, What is necessary is just to make it cut off using a blade.

The frequency and intensity of the ultrasonic waves emitted from the horn 61 are set to values that can cause the molecules of the material of the bubble sheet S to vibrate and generate heat.

And a cutter lifting / lowering mechanism (not shown) provided in 62.

次に、このような袋製造設備1を用いて袋Aを製造する手順を説明する。   Next, a procedure for manufacturing the bag A using such a bag manufacturing facility 1 will be described.

本実施形態においては、合成樹脂シートとして、例えば、多数の気泡形成用突起を有してなるキャップフィルムCと、このキャップフィルムCの突起開放側に添着したバックフィルムBと、前記キャップフィルムCの突起先端側に添着したライナーフィルムLとからなる3層構造を有する気泡シートSを用いている。この気泡シートSは、従来品と同様であり、材料としては、常用のポリエチレンをはじめ、ポリプロピレンのようなポリオレフィン、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体、ナイロンそのほか多種類のプラスチックが使用できるが、本実施形態においては、ポリプロピレンを用いている。   In the present embodiment, as the synthetic resin sheet, for example, a cap film C having a large number of bubble forming protrusions, a back film B attached to the protrusion opening side of the cap film C, and the cap film C A bubble sheet S having a three-layer structure composed of a liner film L attached to the tip end side of the protrusion is used. This air bubble sheet S is the same as the conventional product, and as materials, conventional polyethylene, polyolefin such as polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, nylon and many other types of plastics can be used. In the form, polypropylene is used.

まず、原反S0から繰り出された気泡シートSは、図1に示すように、三角板21により二つ折りに重ね合わせられ、ニップロール22により接合位置Jに向けて間欠的に一定量が送り出される。すなわち、重ね合わせられた気泡シートSの先端側は、製品である袋Aの開口幅寸法に相当する距離だけ前記接合位置Jを超えて供給され、接合すべき部位S1が接合位置Jに達した時点でニップロール22が停止する。   First, as shown in FIG. 1, the bubble sheet S fed out from the original fabric S0 is folded in two by the triangular plate 21 and is intermittently sent out toward the joining position J by the nip roll 22. That is, the end side of the overlapped bubble sheet S is supplied beyond the joining position J by a distance corresponding to the opening width dimension of the bag A as a product, and the part S1 to be joined has reached the joining position J. At that time, the nip roll 22 stops.

この停止中に、図2に示すように、上クランプバー51とアンビルホルダー65が同時に降下し、超音波溶着が行われる。すなわち、前記接合すべき部位S1の上流側と下流側において気泡シートSがクランプされ、ホーン61とアンビル62との協働により気泡シートSの接合すべき部位S1が図2に示すように溶着され、シール部S2が形成される。   During this stop, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper clamp bar 51 and the anvil holder 65 are simultaneously lowered, and ultrasonic welding is performed. That is, the bubble sheet S is clamped on the upstream side and the downstream side of the part S1 to be joined, and the part S1 to be joined of the bubble sheet S is welded as shown in FIG. 2 in cooperation with the horn 61 and the anvil 62. A seal portion S2 is formed.

次に、超音波溶着完了後、図3に示すように、上下のクランプバー51、52にて気泡シートSがずれないように保持した状態で、上クランプバー51及びアンビルホルダー65、並びに下クランプバー52が同時に上昇する。そして、ホーン61とアンビル62との間にギャップが設けられた状態で、刃物71が降下し、前記シール部S2の中央を切断する。このようにして境界部分となるシール部S2を順次切り離される気泡シートSが、製品である袋Aとなる。   Next, after completion of the ultrasonic welding, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper clamp bar 51, the anvil holder 65, and the lower clamp are held with the upper and lower clamp bars 51, 52 so that the bubble sheet S is not displaced. Bar 52 rises simultaneously. Then, in a state where a gap is provided between the horn 61 and the anvil 62, the blade 71 descends and cuts the center of the seal portion S2. In this way, the air bubble sheet S from which the seal portion S2 that is the boundary portion is sequentially cut out becomes a bag A that is a product.

シール部S2の中央を切断後、図4に示すように、下クランプバー52が降下し、切り離された袋Aは搬送装置4たるベルトコンベアによって搬送される。   After cutting the center of the seal portion S2, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower clamp bar 52 is lowered, and the separated bag A is conveyed by the belt conveyor as the conveying device 4.

以上に述べたように、本実施形態に係る気泡シートSのシール加工方法は、内部に空洞を有してなる3層構造の気泡シートSを2つ折りにして重ね合わせ、その接合すべき部位S1に超音波を作用させて前記気泡シートSの素材の一部を発熱させ溶融させるとともに、その接合すべき部位S1に前記空洞が潰れる方向の機械的な圧縮力を加えることによって前記気泡シートSの接合すべき部位S1を接合させるので、このような気泡シートSであっても良好に接合することが可能となる。すなわち、超音波によって気泡シートSに分子振動が発生し、自己発熱によって接合すべき部位S1が溶融状態となる。そのため、小さな押圧力によって気泡シートSの内部の空洞、換言すれば、キャップフィルムCとバックフィルムBとによって形成される空間またはキャップフィルムCとライナーフィルムLとによって形成される空間を圧潰することができ、その圧潰作用と前述した自己発熱とによって接合すべき部位S1のキャップフィルムC、バックフィルムB、ライナーフィルムLが融着する。そのため、気泡シートSの接合すべき部位S1が口開き等の問題を起こすことなく接合され、気泡シートSが内部に空洞を形成するための立体構造を有していたとしても良好に接合することができる。   As described above, the method for sealing the air bubble sheet S according to the present embodiment folds the air bubble sheet S having a three-layer structure having a cavity inside and folds the two, and joins the portions S1 to be joined. A part of the material of the bubble sheet S is heated and melted by applying an ultrasonic wave to the element, and a mechanical compressive force in a direction in which the cavity is crushed is applied to a portion S1 to be joined. Since the part S1 to be joined is joined, even such a bubble sheet S can be joined satisfactorily. That is, molecular vibration is generated in the bubble sheet S due to the ultrasonic waves, and the site S1 to be joined is melted by self-heating. Therefore, the space inside the bubble sheet S, that is, the space formed by the cap film C and the back film B or the space formed by the cap film C and the liner film L can be crushed by a small pressing force. The cap film C, the back film B, and the liner film L at the site S1 to be joined are fused by the crushing action and the self-heating described above. Therefore, the portion S1 to which the bubble sheet S is to be joined is joined without causing problems such as opening of the mouth, and even if the bubble sheet S has a three-dimensional structure for forming a cavity therein, it can be joined well. Can do.

特に、溶着の際に超音波を用いているので、気泡シートSの厚み、またはキャップフィルムC、バックフィルムB、ライナーフィルムLの厚みの変化による加熱量の変化をいちいち調整する必要がなく、気泡を押さえつける力も格段に弱くて済む。そのため、シール加工装置3の運転が容易な上に、ショットスピードも比較的短くすることができ、運転サイクルを早くすることができる。また、気泡シートSに外部から熱を加えるわけではないので、シール加工装置3において雰囲気温度の変化の影響をほとんど受けることがない。そのため、一度設定した運転条件は、夏でも冬でも再現性がある。さらに、アンビル62の表面にローレット加工等により微細な凹凸が形成されているので、超音波による振動をより効率的に伝達することができ、接着すべき部位S1を良好に接合することができる。   In particular, since ultrasonic waves are used for welding, there is no need to adjust the change in the heating amount due to the change in the thickness of the bubble sheet S or the thickness of the cap film C, the back film B, and the liner film L. The force to hold down is also much weaker. Therefore, the operation of the seal processing apparatus 3 is easy and the shot speed can be made relatively short, so that the operation cycle can be shortened. In addition, since heat is not applied to the bubble sheet S from the outside, the seal processing apparatus 3 is hardly affected by changes in the ambient temperature. Therefore, once set operating conditions are reproducible in summer and winter. Furthermore, since fine irregularities are formed on the surface of the anvil 62 by knurling or the like, vibration due to ultrasonic waves can be transmitted more efficiently, and the part S1 to be bonded can be satisfactorily joined.

なお、本実施形態におけるシール加工装置3は、アンビル62の表面の凹凸形状を変えることにより、気泡シートSまたはその気泡シートSを構成するキャップフィルムC、バックフィルムB、ライナーフィルムLが比較的厚みを有するものであっても、比較的薄いものであっても、接着すべき部位S1を良好に接合することができるようにしている。すなわち、アンビル62が、気泡シートSの幅方向に長尺な挟圧面を有してなり、前記挟圧面が、気泡シートSを押圧するための複数の圧接凸部とこれら圧接凸部間に介在させた溝とを交互に配列してなるものである。なお、以下図5乃至図17に示すアンビル62は、熱溶着機構6を構成する一要素として用いられるものであり、前記シール加工装置3において表面側を下側にして設置されるものである。また、刃物71を省略して示している。   In the seal processing apparatus 3 in the present embodiment, the bubble sheet S or the cap film C, the back film B, and the liner film L constituting the bubble sheet S are relatively thick by changing the uneven shape of the surface of the anvil 62. Even if it has a thin film or a relatively thin film, the portion S1 to be bonded can be satisfactorily bonded. That is, the anvil 62 has a pressing surface that is long in the width direction of the bubble sheet S, and the pressing surface is interposed between a plurality of pressing protrusions for pressing the bubble sheet S and the pressing protrusions.
