Description

  The present invention relates to a blow molding method, a composite preform, a composite container, an inner label member, and a plastic member.

  Recently, plastic bottles for storing content liquids such as foods and drinks have become common, and such plastic bottles store content liquids.

  A plastic bottle containing such a content liquid is manufactured by inserting a preform into a mold and biaxially stretch-blow molding.

  By the way, in the conventional biaxial stretch blow molding method, for example, a preform including a single layer material such as PET or PP, a multilayer material, a blend material, or the like is used to form a container shape. However, in the conventional biaxial stretch blow molding method, the preform is generally simply formed into a container shape. For this reason, when various functions and characteristics (barrier property, heat retaining property, etc.) are given to the container, the means is limited, for example, by changing the material constituting the preform. In particular, it is difficult to have different functions and characteristics depending on the part of the container (for example, the trunk and the bottom).

  First, an outline of a composite container produced by the blow molding method according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the present specification, “upper” and “lower” refer to the upper side and the lower side in a state where the composite container 10A is erected (FIG. 1), respectively.

  A composite container 10A shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is biaxially stretched with respect to a composite preform 70 (see FIG. 3) including a preform 10a and a plastic member 40a using a blow molding die 50, as will be described later. By performing blow molding, the preform 10a of the composite preform 70 and the plastic member 40a are integrally expanded.

  Such a composite container 10 </ b> A includes a container body 10 made of a plastic material located inside and a plastic member 40 provided in close contact with the outside of the container body 10.

  Among these, the container body 10 includes a mouth portion 11, a neck portion 13 provided below the mouth portion 11, a shoulder portion 12 provided below the neck portion 13, a trunk portion 20 provided below the shoulder portion 12, And a bottom portion 30 provided below the portion 20.

  On the other hand, the plastic member 40 is in close contact with the outer surface of the container body 10 in a thinly extended state, and is attached to the container body 10 without being easily moved or rotated.

  Next, the container body 10 will be described in detail. As described above, the container body 10 includes the mouth portion 11, the neck portion 13, the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30.

  Of these, the mouth portion 11 includes a screw portion 14 screwed into a cap (not shown) and a flange portion 17 provided below the screw portion 14. The shape of the mouth portion 11 may be a conventionally known shape.

  The neck portion 13 is located between the flange portion 17 and the shoulder portion 12 and has a substantially cylindrical shape having a substantially uniform diameter. The shoulder 12 is located between the neck 13 and the trunk 20 and has a shape whose diameter gradually increases from the neck 13 toward the trunk 20.

  Furthermore, the trunk | drum 20 has a cylindrical shape with a substantially uniform diameter as a whole. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the body portion 20 may have a polygonal cylindrical shape such as a rectangular cylindrical shape or an octagonal cylindrical shape. Or the trunk | drum 20 may have a cylinder shape with a horizontal cross section which is not uniform toward upper direction from the downward direction. Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the unevenness | corrugation is not formed in the trunk | drum 20, and has a substantially flat surface, it is not restricted to this. For example, unevenness such as a panel or a groove may be formed on the body portion 20.

  On the other hand, the bottom portion 30 has a concave portion 31 located in the center and a grounding portion 32 provided around the concave portion 31. The shape of the bottom 30 is not particularly limited, and may have a conventionally known bottom shape (for example, a petaloid bottom shape or a round bottom shape).

  Moreover, although the thickness of the container main body 10 in the trunk | drum 20 is not limited to this, For example, it can be made thin to about 50 micrometers-250 micrometers. Further, the weight of the container body 10 is not limited to this, but can be 10 g to 20 g. Thus, by reducing the thickness of the container main body 10, the weight of the container main body 10 can be reduced.

  Such a container main body 10 can be manufactured by biaxially stretching blow-molding a preform 10a (described later) manufactured by injection molding a synthetic resin material. As the material of the preform 10a, that is, the container body 10, a thermoplastic resin, particularly PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), or PC (polycarbonate) may be used. preferable. Moreover, you may blend and use the various resin mentioned above. The container body 10 may be colored in colors such as red, blue, yellow, green, brown, black, and white, but is preferably colorless and transparent in consideration of ease of recycling. Further, a vapor deposition film such as a diamond-like carbon film or a silicon oxide thin film may be formed on the inner surface of the container body 10 in order to enhance the barrier property of the container.

  The container body 10 can also be formed as a multilayer molded bottle having two or more layers. That is, by extrusion molding or injection molding, for example, the intermediate layer has gas barrier properties and light shielding properties such as MXD6, MXD6 + fatty acid salt, PGA (polyglycolic acid), EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer) or PEN (polyethylene naphthalate). As a resin (intermediate layer) having a preform 10a composed of three or more layers, it may be formed as a multilayer bottle having gas barrier properties and light-shielding properties by blow molding after extrusion. As the intermediate layer, a resin obtained by blending the above-described various resins may be used.

  Further, by mixing an inert gas (nitrogen gas, argon gas) with the thermoplastic resin melt, a foam preform having a foam cell diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm is formed, and this foam preform is blow-molded. Thus, the container body 10 may be manufactured. Since such a container main body 10 contains the foam cell, the light shielding property of the container main body 10 whole can be improved.

  Such a container main body 10 may consist of a bottle with a full capacity of 100 ml to 2000 ml, for example. Alternatively, the container main body 10 may be a large bottle having a full capacity of, for example, 10L to 60L.

  Next, the plastic member 40 will be described. As will be described later, the plastic member 40 (40a) is provided so as to surround the outside of the preform 10a, and is obtained by being in close contact with the outside of the preform 10a and then being biaxially stretch blow-molded together with the preform 10a. It is a thing.

  The plastic member 40 is attached to the outer surface of the container body 10 without being bonded, and is in close contact with the container body 10 so as not to move or rotate. The plastic member 40 is thinly extended on the outer surface of the container body 10 to cover the container body 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the plastic member 40 is provided over the entire circumferential direction so as to surround the container body 10, and has a substantially circular horizontal cross section.

  In this case, the plastic member 40 is provided so as to cover the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10 except for the mouth portion 11 and the neck portion 13. Thereby, desired functions and characteristics can be imparted to the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10.

  Note that the plastic member 40 may be provided in the entire region or a partial region other than the mouth portion 11 of the container body 10. For example, the plastic member 40 may be provided so as to cover the neck portion 13, the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10 except for the mouth portion 11. Further, the number of plastic members 40 is not limited to one, and a plurality of plastic members 40 may be provided. For example, you may provide the two plastic members 40 in the outer surface of the shoulder part 12, and the outer surface of the bottom part 30, respectively.

  On the other hand, since the plastic member 40 is not welded or bonded to the container body 10, it can be peeled off from the container body 10 and removed. Specifically, for example, the plastic member 40 may be cut using a blade or the like, or a cutting line (not shown) may be provided in advance on the plastic member 40, and the plastic member 40 may be peeled along the cutting line. it can. Thereby, the plastic member 40 can be separated and removed from the container body 10.

  Such a plastic member 40a may be one that does not have a contracting action on the preform 10a or may have a contracting action. After blow molding, the plastic member 40a has a function of contracting with respect to the preform 10a from the viewpoint of less air entering between the container body and the plastic member 40, that is, high adhesion. It is preferable that it is a thing (outside contraction member).

  When the plastic member 40a has a function of contracting with respect to the preform 10a, the plastic member (outer contracting member) 40a is provided outside the preform 10a and is heated integrally with the preform 10a. It is obtained by biaxial stretch blow molding. As such a plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a, any member having an action of contracting with respect to the preform 10a may be used. The plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a itself may be contractible or elastic and can contract without applying an external action. Alternatively, the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a may contract (for example, heat shrink) with respect to the preform 10a when an external action (for example, heat) is applied. When the plastic member 40a does not have an effect of contracting with respect to the preform 10a, the plastic member 40a is, for example, a blow tube produced by blow molding or a sheet produced by deep drawing a resin sheet. Although a molded tube, an extruded tube produced by extrusion molding, an inflation molded tube produced by an inflation method, an injection molded tube produced by injection molding, etc. can be used, it is not limited to this, A molding method other than the above may be used.

  The plastic member 40 (40a) may be a single layer or a multilayer. When the plastic member 40a is composed of multiple layers, the innermost and outermost layers may have the same or different layer configurations. However, at least one of the multilayer plastic members 40a is made of a blended resin material containing at least nylon and polyolefin and / or polyester. Specific examples of the layer structure include, from the innermost surface, low density PE / adhesive layer / nylon + PET / adhesive layer / low density PE, and PP / adhesive layer / nylon + PET / adhesive layer / PP. Examples of the adhesive constituting the adhesive layer include a polyvinyl acetate adhesive, a polyacrylate adhesive, a cyanoacrylate adhesive, an ethylene copolymer adhesive, a cellulose adhesive, a polyester adhesive, Examples thereof include polyamide adhesives, polyimide adhesives, amino resin adhesives, phenol resin adhesives, epoxy adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, rubber adhesives, and silicone adhesives.

  The thickness of the plastic member 40 is not limited to this, but can be set to, for example, about 5 μm to 500 μm in a state of being attached to the container body 10.

As shown in FIG. 12, the inner label member 60 is provided over the entire circumferential direction so as to surround the container body 10, and has a substantially circular horizontal cross section.

  In this case, the inner label member 60 is provided so as to cover the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10 except for the mouth portion 11 and the neck portion 13. Thereby, desired characters, images, and the like can be imparted to the shoulder portion 12, the body portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container main body 10, and the composite container 10A can be decorated and information can be displayed.

  The inner label member 60 may be provided in the entire region or a partial region other than the mouth portion 11 in the container main body 10. For example, the inner label member 60 may be provided so as to cover the neck portion 13, the shoulder portion 12, the trunk portion 20, and the bottom portion 30 of the container body 10 except the mouth portion 11. Furthermore, the inner label member 60 is not limited to one, and a plurality of inner label members 60 may be provided. The inner label member 60 may be provided in the same region as the plastic member 40, or may be provided in a region narrower than the plastic member 40. In the latter case, the inner label member 60 is preferably completely covered by the plastic member 40.

  Further, the thickness of the inner label member 60 is not limited to this, but can be set to, for example, about 5 μm to 50 μm when attached to the container body 10.

  Next, the plastic member 40 will be described. As will be described later, the plastic member 40 (40a) is provided so as to surround the outer side of the inner label member 60a, and is obtained by performing biaxial stretch blow molding integrally with the preform 10a and the inner label member 60a.

The plastic member 40 is thinly stretched on the outer surface of the inner label member 60 to cover the inner label member 60. As shown in FIG. 12, the plastic member 40 is provided over the entire circumferential direction so as to surround the container body 10, and has a substantially circular horizontal cross section.

  In addition, since the configurations of the container body 10 and the plastic member 40 are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment described above, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, the structure of the composite preform according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the composite preform 70 includes a preform 10a made of a plastic material, a bottomed cylindrical inner label member 60a provided in close contact with the outer side of the preform 10a, and an inner label member 60a. And a bottomed cylindrical plastic member 40a provided in close contact with the outside.

  The inner label member 60a is in close contact with the outer surface of the preform 10a, and is in close contact with the preform 10a without moving or rotating. The inner label member 60a is provided over the entire circumferential direction so as to surround the preform 10a, and has a substantially circular horizontal cross section.

  The inner label member 60a may be previously designed or printed. For example, in addition to the design and product name, character information such as the name of the content liquid, the manufacturer, and the name of the raw material may be described. In this case, it is possible to display images and characters on the composite container 10A without separately providing a label or the like to the container body 10 after blow molding. For example, the inner label member 60a may be provided on all or part of the trunk portion 20a of the preform 10a, and images and characters may be displayed on the trunk portion 20 of the container body 10 after molding. This eliminates the need for a labeling process using a labeler after the container is tightly sealed, so that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed and the yield can be prevented from decreasing.

  As such an inner label member 60a, a film made of polyester resin, polyamide resin, polyaramid resin, polypropylene resin, polycarbonate resin, polyacetal resin, fluorine resin, or the like can be used. The inner label member 60a may be made of the same material as the container body 10 (preform 10a) and / or the plastic member 40a, or may be made of a different material.

  Further, various materials described below can be used as the inner label member 60a.

  For example, the inner label member 60a may be made of a material having a gas barrier property such as an oxygen barrier property or a water vapor barrier property. In this case, without using a multilayer preform or a preform containing a blend material as the preform 10a, the gas barrier property of the composite container 10A is improved, the content liquid is prevented from being deteriorated by oxygen, and the internal volume is increased by the evaporation of water vapor. Can be prevented from decreasing. As such a material, PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), MXD-6 (nylon), EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer) or an oxygen absorbing material such as a fatty acid salt may be mixed with these materials. It is done.

  The inner label member 60a may be made of a material having light barrier properties such as ultraviolet rays. In this case, the light barrier property of the composite container 10A can be improved and the content liquid can be prevented from being deteriorated by ultraviolet rays or the like without using a multilayer preform or a preform containing a blend material as the preform 10a. As such a material, a blend material or a material obtained by adding a light-shielding resin to PET, PE, or PP can be considered.

  Further, the inner label member 60a may be made of a material having a higher heat retaining property or a higher heat retaining property than a plastic material constituting the container body 10 (preform 10a) (a material having a low thermal conductivity). In this case, it is possible to make it difficult for the temperature of the content liquid to be transmitted to the surface of the composite container 10A without increasing the thickness of the container body 10 itself. Thereby, the heat retaining property or cold retaining property of the composite container 10A is enhanced. Examples of such a material include foamed polyurethane, polystyrene, PE (polyethylene), PP (polypropylene), phenol resin, polyvinyl chloride, urea resin, silicone, polyimide, melamine resin, and the like.

  On the other hand, the plastic member 40a is attached to the outer surface of the inner label member 60a without being bonded, and is in close contact with the preform 10a so as not to move or rotate. The plastic member 40a is provided over the entire circumferential direction so as to surround the preform 10a, and has a substantially circular horizontal cross section.

  In this case, the inner label member 60a and the plastic member 40a are provided so as to cover the entire region of the body portion 20a excluding the portion 13a corresponding to the neck portion 13 of the container body 10 and the entire region of the bottom portion 30a.

  The inner label member 60a and the plastic member 40a may be provided in the entire region or a partial region other than the mouth portion 11a. For example, the inner label member 60a and the plastic member 40a may be provided so as to cover the entire body portion 20a and the bottom portion 30a except for the mouth portion 11a. Furthermore, the inner label member 60a and the plastic member 40a are not limited to one, and a plurality of inner label members 60a and plastic members 40a may be provided. For example, the two inner label members 60a and the plastic member 40a may be provided at two locations on the outer side of the body portion 20a.

  Such a plastic member 40a may be one that does not have a contracting action on the preform 10a or may have a contracting action.

  In the latter case, the plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a may be any member that has an effect of contracting the preform 10a. The plastic member (outer contraction member) 40a is preferably a member that contracts (for example, heat shrinks) with respect to the preform 10a when an external action (for example, heat) is applied.

  In addition, since the configurations of the preform 10a and the plastic member 40a are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment described above, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Next, the shape of the plastic member 40a and / or the inner label member 60a will be described.

In this case, since the bottom part 42 (bottom part 62) of the plastic member 40a (inner label member 60a) covers the bottom part 30a of the preform 10a, various functions are also applied to the bottom part 30 in addition to the trunk part 20 of the composite container 10A. And properties can be imparted.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19 (described later) and FIG. 14B, the plastic member 40a (inner label member 60a) is formed in a circular tube shape (bottomless cylindrical shape) as a whole, and the cylindrical body portion 41 is formed. You may have (the trunk | drum 61). In this case, as the plastic member 40a (inner label member 60a), for example, an extruded tube can be used.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.14 (c) and FIG.14 (d), even if the plastic member 40a (inner label member 60a) is produced by forming a film into a cylinder shape and bonding the edge part together. good. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14 (c), the plastic member 40a may be formed in a tube shape (bottomless cylindrical shape) having a body portion 41 (body portion 61). As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom portion 42 (bottom portion 62) may be bonded to form a bottomed cylindrical shape.
