Abstract

【課題】柔軟性を有し、被シール物をシールした後にも変形が残りにくいインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターを提供する。
【解決手段】被シール物のシール部を加熱することで溶融させてシールするインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーター１１であって、複数の糸状の発熱体を編み上げてなる組紐である。発熱体は、直径が０．１〜０．５ｍｍの金属線である。
【選択図】図１

Description

本発明は、被シール物のシール部を加熱することで溶融させてシールするインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターに関するものである。
第１押圧部と第２押圧部の間に被シール物を挟持・押圧し、ヒーターにより加熱することで被シール物のシール部を溶融させてシールするインパルス式ヒートシーラーは、例えば、下記特許文献１に開示されている。ここで被シール物の材質は、厚さ０．２ｍｍ程度の樹脂フィルムであり、瞬間的にヒーターで加熱することでシール部を溶融させることができる。
上記インパルス式ヒートシーラーは、シール対象が薄厚の樹脂フィルムであるが、例えば１ｍｍ程度の厚みを有する被シール物をシールしたいという要望がある。大きな厚みを有する被シール物を上記ヒートシーラーでシールする様子を図７に示す。また、シール対象の被シール物を図６に示す。
図６に示すように、被シール物Ａの上部にシール部Ｂが設定される。例えば、被シール物Ａは袋状に形成されており、その上部に設けられた開口部を閉鎖するためにシール部Ｂをシールする。被シール物Ａの内部には適宜の物が収容される。
図７（ａ）は、第１押圧部１００と第２押圧部１０１でシール部Ｂを挟持する前の状態を示し、図７（ｂ）は、第１押圧部１００と第２押圧部１０１とでシール部Ｂを挟持した状態を示している。押圧部１００，１０１の押圧面には、それぞれヒーターＨが設けられている。これに通電することでヒーターＨが発熱し、シール部Ｂが加熱により溶融する。被シール物Ａは、例えば樹脂製であり、加熱することで溶融しシールすることができる。
大きな厚みを有する被シール物Ａをシールしようとする場合、ヒーターＨには、シール部Ｂに押圧された部分とそれ以外の部分とで段差Ｓが発生する。通常のヒーターＨは、厚さ０．１〜０．２ｍｍ程度の金属製の平板形状のため、図７（ｃ）のように、シール終了後にシール部Ｂの挟持状態を解除した後にも段差Ｓが残存してしまう。このような段差Ｓは、次の被シール物をシールする際、シール部を均一にシールできず、シール不良となることがある。
また、図８に示すような、端部にマチＣのある袋状の被シール物Ａ（いわゆるガゼット袋）の開口部を閉鎖するためにシールする場合、マチＣの部分が他より特に厚くなるため、ヒーターＨに柔軟性がないと、シール部Ｂの厚み変化に対応できず、マチＣの近くＣ１、Ｃ２等でシール部Ｂを十分にシールできない場合がある。
特許３５４７６９６号
本発明は、上記実情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、柔軟性を有し、被シール物をシールした後にも変形が残りにくいインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターを提供することにある。
上記目的は、下記の如き本発明により達成できる。即ち、本発明に係るインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターは、被シール物のシール部を加熱することで溶融させてシールするインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターであって、複数の糸状の発熱体を編み上げてなる組紐であることを特徴とする。
かかる構成を有するインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターの作用効果を説明する。このヒーターが用いられるヒートシーラーはインパルス式であり、シール動作を行うときにのみヒーターを瞬間的に加熱してシール部を溶融させてシールする。ヒーターは、複数の糸状の発熱体を編み上げて（組み上げて）なる組紐であって、発熱体に通電することで発熱する。組紐は、従来公知の線状、板状等に形成されたヒーターに比べて変形の自由度を高くできるため、本発明のヒーターは、柔軟性を有し、被シール物をシールした後にも変形が残りにくい。
また、上記目的は、下記の如き本発明により達成できる。即ち、本発明に係るインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターは、被シール物のシール部を加熱することで溶融させてシールするインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターであって、糸状の発熱体からなる縦糸と横糸とで織られた織物であることを特徴とする。
かかる構成を有するインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターの作用効果を説明する。このヒーターが用いられるヒートシーラーはインパルス式であり、シール動作を行うときにのみヒーターを瞬間的に加熱してシール部を溶融させてシールする。ヒーターは、糸状の発熱体からなる縦糸と横糸で織られた織物であって、発熱体に通電することで発熱する。織物は、従来公知の線状、板状等に形成されたヒーターに比べて変形の自由度を高くできるため、本発明のヒーターは、柔軟性を有し、被シール物をシールした後にも変形が残りにくい。
上記において、前記発熱体は、直径が０．１〜０．５ｍｍの金属線であることが好ましい。この構成によれば、発熱体を組紐又は織物にした際にも十分な柔軟性を有するヒーターを提供することができる。
上記において、前記発熱体は、複数のカーボン繊維を束ねたカーボン繊維束であることが好ましい。カーボン繊維はそれ自体が柔軟性を有するため、複数のカーボン繊維を束ねたカーボン繊維束を組紐又は織物にした際にも十分な柔軟性を有するヒーターを提供することができる。
上記において、前記組紐は、平打ち又は丸打ちの組紐であることが好ましい。平打ち又は丸打ちの組紐は、複数の糸状体を平板状又は円筒状に編み上げたものであり、柔軟性に富むため、十分な柔軟性を有するヒーターを提供することができる。

本発明に係るインパルス式ヒートシーラー用のヒーターの好適な実施形態を図面を用いて説明する。図１はヒーターの斜視図、図２はヒートシーラーの一例を示す側面図、図３はヒートシーラーの一例を示す平面図を示す。
＜ヒートシーラーの構成＞
このヒートシーラーは、下部枠２と上部枠３とから成るヒートシーラー本体１を設け、被シール物のシール部を受け止める受け台１０（第１押圧部に相当）を下部枠２に支持させ、シール部を受け台１０とで挟持する圧着レバー４（第２押圧部に相当）を、左右一対のアーム５を介して、左右横軸芯５ａ周りに揺動可能に上部枠３に支持させ、被シール物を載せるテーブル６を設けて構成してある。
圧着レバー４を戻しスプリング８で上方に揺動付勢してあり、この戻しスプリング８の付勢力に抗して圧着レバー４を下方に揺動駆動するソレノイド（図示せず）を下部枠２内に設けてある。
図４は押圧部として機能する受け台１０と圧着レバー４の構成を示す断面図である。受け台１０の表面には第１押圧面１０ａ（載置面）が形成され、圧着レバー４の表面には第２押圧面４ａが形成され、これら押圧面１０ａ，４ａにより被シール物を挟持・押圧（圧着）する。受け台１０と圧着レバー４の側には、夫々第１ヒーター１１、第２ヒーター１２が設けられており、シール部Ｂに対応してライン状に形成される。各ヒーター１１，１２は、テフロン（登録商標）カバー（保護カバー）によりカバーされており、その表面が前述の押圧面１０ａ，４ａとして機能することになる。受け台１０と圧着レバー４の先端は、シリコンゴム等の弾性材料で構成されており、押圧面１０ａ，４ａにより被シール物を圧着する際、被シール物の形状に沿うように弾性変形する。これに伴い、各ヒーター１１，１２も被シール物の形状に沿うように変形することができる。
＜ヒーターの構成＞
第１ヒーター１１と第２ヒーター１２は同一の構成であるため、ここでは第１ヒーター１１について説明を行う。第１ヒーター１１は、図１に示すように、ヒーター本体１１１と取付部１１２とで構成される。ヒーター本体１１１は、通電により発熱する。取付部１１２は、ヒーター本体１１１の両端部に設けられ、第１ヒーター１１を受け台１０にネジ等で固定するためのものである。なお、取付部１１２の形状は、取付箇所に応じて適宜設計される。
図５にヒーター本体１１１の詳細を示す。本実施形態のヒーター本体１１１は、複数の糸状の金属線１１１ａ（発熱体に相当する）を編み上げてなる組紐である。ヒーター本体１１１は、全体として帯状をしている。金属線１１１ａは、公知のニクロム線等を用いることができる。金属線１１１ａの断面は、例えば直径が０．１〜０．５ｍｍの円形である。ヒーター本体１１１の厚さは、０．２〜１．０ｍｍである。
組紐は、３本以上の糸状体を公知の組紐機（製紐機）を用いて編み上げられる。製紐方法としては、平打ち、丸打ち、角打ちなどが挙げられ、これらの製紐方法によって編み上げられた組紐は、それぞれ平打ち組紐、丸打ち組紐、角打ち組紐などと称される。本発明のヒーター本体１１１としては、複数の糸状の金属線１１１ａを平板状又は円筒状に編み上げた平打ち又は丸打ちの組紐の形態が好ましい。図５は、平打ちの組紐の一例である。ヒーター本体１１１は、７〜２３本の金属線１１１ａで組むのが好ましく、それぞれの組紐の組角度は３０〜６０度が好ましいが、本数や組角度はこれに限定されず、ヒーターの用途に応じて適宜選択することができる。また、ヒーター本体１１１は、１〜１０本の細い金属線を合糸した金属線１１１ａを編み上げることもできる。また、紐幅、すなわちヒーター本体１１１の幅は、被シール物のシール部の幅に応じて決定されるが、好ましくは２〜３０ｍｍである。
＜別実施形態＞
ヒーター本体１１１は、糸状の発熱体からなる縦糸と横糸とで織られた織物であってもよい。織物の織り方としては、平織り、綾織り、朱子織り等が例示されるが、略一定厚みのヒーター本体１１１を比較的容易に作ることができるため平織りが特に好ましい。平織りは、縦糸と横糸を交互に浮き沈みさせて織られる織り方である。
組紐又は織物を構成する発熱体は、複数のカーボン繊維を束ねたカーボン繊維束でもよい。
前述の実施形態では、ヒーターを受け台１０と圧着レバー４の双方に設けているが、いずれか一方のみに設けてもよい。また、前述のインパルス式ヒートシーラーは一例であって、本発明のヒーターは、種々のインパルス式ヒートシーラーに用いることができる。
前述の実施形態では、帯状のヒーター本体１１１を直線状に配置してヒーター１１を使用する例を示したが、本発明に係るヒーター１１は、３次元方向に柔軟性を有するため、様々な形態で使用することができる。例えば、帯状のヒーター本体１１１を図９のように平面内で円弧状に配置したり、円状に配置したりしてヒーター１１を使用することもできる。このとき、ヒーター本体１１１は、テフロン（登録商標）カバー（保護カバー）によりカバーされる。さらに、本発明に係るヒーター１１は、平面的な形状で使用するだけでなく、立体的な形状で使用することもできる。
ヒーター１１を立体的な形状で使用する場合等、ヒーター１１の形状を保持したい場合には、ポリイミド等の耐熱性樹脂で含浸させることもできる。
