Description

  The present invention relates to a packing container, an inspection method, and a packing method for packing an object to be packed housed in a box.

  In order to prevent the article from being damaged or broken in the transportation stage, the article to be packed is buffered and packed in the packaging container in the packaging stage. In such a packing container, a heat-shrinkable film is inserted into the box, and after the heat-shrinkable film is adhered to the inner surface of the box, the packaged item is placed on the box from above the heat-shrinkable film. In this state, the heat-shrinkable film is heated and thermally shrunk (for example, see Patent Document 1). According to this, the object to be packed is held so as not to move relative to the box by the heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable film. The buffering effect is enhanced by the space provided between the periphery of the package and the inner surface of the box.

  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION The form for implementing the packaging container which concerns on this invention, the inspection method, and the packaging method is demonstrated below based on an Example.

  A packaging container, an inspection method, and a packaging method according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The code | symbol 1 shown by FIG. 1 is a packing line which packs the articles | goods 2 (packaged goods). The packing line 1 is finally in a state in which the correctly inspected article 2 is accommodated in the box 3 in a state of being buffered.

  The packaging line 1 includes an adhesive application process (not shown) for applying the adhesive 4 to the bottom surface portion 6 of the box 3 and a packaging for fixing the heat-shrinkable film 5 (heat-shrinkable packaging member) to the adhesive 4. Preparation step A, article accommodation step B in which the article 2 is accommodated in the box 3 so as to place the article 2 on the heat-shrinkable film 5, and inspection of the article 2 accommodated in the box 3 The box 3 is closed through the inspection process C to be performed and the packaging process D in which the heat-shrinkable film 5 is heated and the article 2 is packaged with the heat-shrinkable film 5. In addition, the packing line 1 conveys the box 3 to the place where each process is performed with the conveyor which is not illustrated. Moreover, the code | symbol 10 is a packaging container comprised by fixing the heat-shrinkable film 5 after the packaging preparation process A to the box 3 to which the adhesive member 11 was stuck.

  The box 3 is made of cardboard or the like as a base material, and has a substantially rectangular bottom surface portion 6 and 4 having the same height rising vertically from the respective sides of the bottom surface portion 6 as shown in FIG. The side surface portions 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D and the upper surface portions 8A, 8B, 8C, and 8D that extend from the side surface portions 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D and cover the upper portions are configured in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the heat-shrinkable film 5 used in the packaging preparation step A is a substantially rectangular shape in which the short direction is slightly shorter than the inner dimension of the box 3 in the short direction. In the packaging preparation step A, the heat-shrinkable film 5 has its longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the box 3, and both end portions 5 a and 5 a in the longitudinal direction oppose the longitudinal direction of the box 3. The lower surface of the central portion 5b in the longitudinal direction is fixed to the bottom surface portion 6 of the box 3 with, for example, hot melt adhesives 4, 4 in a state of being disposed so as to be located on the pair of side surface portions 7A, 7C side.

  Both ends 5a and 5a in the longitudinal direction are hung on the upper surface portions 8A and 8C that are spread outward, and the upper side of the longitudinal center portion 5b is held open so that the box 3 is placed on the packing line 1 Be transported.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an adhesive member 11 is provided on one inner side surface 9 of the pair of side surface portions 7 </ b> B and 7 </ b> D facing the short side direction of the box 3. The adhesive member 11 is provided so as to be offset from the center of the inner side surface 9 toward the end in the width direction.

  The adhesive member 11 includes an adhesive layer 12 (the adhesive layer or adhesive of the present invention) whose back surface is fixed to the inner side surface 9, and a release material 13 attached to the surface of the adhesive layer 12. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 is colored in a color having a hue different from the color of the inner surface 9 of the box 3, and has a relatively low adhesive force and a relatively large thickness.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the adhesive layer 12 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and is provided so that the short side direction faces the width direction of the inner side surface 9 of the box 3.

  In the article accommodation step B, when the article 2 is accommodated in the box 3, as shown in FIG. 4A, the release material 13 of the adhesive member 11 is peeled to expose the surface of the adhesive layer 12. Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, the article 2 is arranged on the longitudinal center portion 5b of the heat-shrinkable film 5 in a state where the article 2 is adhered to the adhesive layer 12 (temporary fixing step B1). . Here, a description will be given by taking the substantially cylindrical article 2 as an example.

  In the temporary fixing step B1, the article 2 is placed on the adhesive layer 12 by an operator's hand so that predetermined information (here, the product name described on the label 2a) formed on the surface faces upward. The short direction is glued.

  By this adhesion, the article 2 is temporarily fixed to the box 3. According to this, on the packing line 1, the movement and rolling of the goods 2 when the box 3 is conveyed from the goods accommodation process B to the inspection process C can be prevented.

  Therefore, at the time of the inspection process C performed in the state before the heat-shrinkable film 5 is heat-shrinked as shown in FIG. 5, the image-capturing device 20 that takes an image from above the box 3 is accommodated in the box 3. The product name described on the label 2a attached to the surface of the article 2 can be read accurately, and inspection can be performed reliably.

  Further, as described above, since the adhesive layer 12 is formed with a relatively large thickness, even when the article 2 having irregularities on the surface is temporarily fixed, a bonding area can be secured, and the box 3 Is less likely to be temporarily fixed when being transported from the article storage process B to the inspection process C on the packing line 1.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (a), in packaging step D, both ends 5a, 5a of heat-shrinkable film 5 are overlapped, and both ends 5a, 5a that have been polymerized are bonded together by an unillustrated bonding means. . And the heat-shrinkable film 5 is heated by the warm air heating apparatus (not shown) in the state which the superposed | polymerized both ends 5a and 5a were adhere | attached, and the heat-shrinkable film 5 heat-shrinks. At this time, since there is a space on the side where the article 2 is not located (the right side in FIG. 6A), the article 2 is moved in the direction of the space along with the thermal contraction (see FIG. 6B).

  As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the article 2 is moved and held in the approximate center of the box 3 by the heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable film 5, and the article is stored in the box 3 at the stage of transportation. 2 is prevented, and the buffering action is enhanced by the space provided between the periphery of the article 2 and the inner surface of the box 3.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6B and FIG. 7, in the packaging process D, the article 2 is moved to a substantially central side of the box 3 with the heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film 5, and this movement causes the article 2 to move. Is peeled off from the adhesive layer 12, and the temporary fixation between the article 2 and the box 3 is released. Therefore, the receiving side of the box 3 that has been packed does not have the trouble of releasing the temporary fixing of the article 2.

  In addition, as described above, the adhesive layer 12 is provided so that the short side direction faces the width direction of the inner side surface 9 of the box 3, so that the bonding area between the article 2 and the adhesive layer 12 is secured, In the moving direction of the article 2 when the article 2 is moved to the substantially center side of the box 3 by the heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable film 5, the adhesive force between the article 2 and the adhesive layer 12 is weak. The article 2 is easily peeled off from the box 3.

  In addition, since the short direction of the article 2 is bonded to the adhesive layer 12 in the temporary fixing step B1, the adhesive layer is moved after the article 2 moved by the heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable film 5 is peeled off from the adhesive layer 12. Re-adhesion to 12 can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the adhesive layer 12 is colored in a color having a hue different from the color of the inner surface 9 of the box 3 as described above, an operator who accommodates the article 2 can easily see the adhesive layer 12. Thus, the article 2 can be reliably bonded to the adhesive layer 12.

  Further, as described above, since the adhesive member 11 is provided to be shifted from the center of the inner side surface 9 toward the end in the width direction, the article 2 is attached to the inner side surface by the heat-shrinkable film 5 that has been heat-shrinked. 9 is moved from the end in the width direction to the center. Therefore, the movement allowance of the article 2 by the heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable film 5 can be ensured, and the temporary fixation between the article 2 and the box 3 can be reliably released.

  Further, as described above, since the surface of the adhesive layer 12 is covered with the release material 13, for example, when the article 2 is difficult to roll and does not require temporary fixing, the release material 13 remains attached. Thus, it is possible to prevent the article 2 from being unnecessarily adhered to the adhesive layer 12. Therefore, this packing container 10 can be used regardless of the necessity of temporary fixing.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the number of the articles | goods 2 accommodated in the box 3 was demonstrated with one piece for convenience of explanation, it is common that several articles | goods are accommodated in the one box 3. FIG. Is. In this case, among a plurality of articles, an article that needs to be temporarily fixed is adhered to the adhesive layer 12, and other articles are not temporarily fixed but are accommodated in the box 3, and the heat shrinkable film 5 is thermally contracted. All items are packaged together.

  In addition, assuming that there are a plurality of articles that need to be temporarily fixed among a plurality of articles accommodated in the box 3, for example, a pair of side surface portions 7 </ b> B that face in the short direction of the box 3. , 7D, a packaging container provided with a plurality of adhesive layers 12 may be prepared.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the adhesive member 11 is attached after the assembly of the box 3 at a different location before the packaging line 1 and is not included in the packaging line 1. 1, for example, may be performed before the packaging preparation step A, or may be performed after the packaging preparation step A and between the temporary fixing step B1.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which does not include a packaging preparation process in the packaging line 1, for example, may be performed with the attachment of the adhesive member 11 in another place.

  In addition, the adhesive member 11 in the above embodiment is configured by the adhesive layer 12 and the release material 13, and the surface of the adhesive layer 12 is always configured to have an adhesive force. It is good also as a structure which does not require a peeling material by making it adhere | attach only when the articles | goods are strongly pressed by comprising by a pressure sensitive adhesive layer.

  Further, before the article accommodating step B, the box 3 is not provided with the adhesive member 11, and the worker puts an adhesive having a relatively low adhesive force on the inner surface 9 of the box 3 or the article 2 in the article accommodating step B. The aspect which apply | coats and temporarily fixes the goods 2 to the box 3 may be sufficient.

  Further, the adhesive member 11 is not limited to the configuration in which the adhesive member 11 is provided to be shifted from the center of the inner side surface 9 toward the end in the width direction. For example, the adhesive member is provided over the entire inner side surface 9 and accommodates articles. In step B, the operator may cause the article 2 to be shifted from the center of the inner side surface 9 toward the end in the width direction and bonded.

  The box 3 is made of cardboard as a material, but may be made of, for example, plastic having excellent durability.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the heat-shrinkable film 5 demonstrated in the aspect arrange | positioned so that the longitudinal direction might become parallel to the longitudinal direction of the box 3, not only this but the heat-shrinkable film 5 You may arrange | position so that a longitudinal direction may become parallel to the transversal direction of the box 3.

  Further, the box 3 is not limited to a substantially rectangular shape in top view, and may be in a substantially square shape in top view. In this case, the heat-shrinkable film 5 is slightly shorter in the lateral direction than the inner dimension in the width direction of the box. It is formed.

  Further, in the inspection step C in the above embodiment, the article 2 is specified by reading the product name described on the label 2a with the imaging device 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the article is defined by the outline or pattern of the article. The article may be specified, or the article may be specified by providing a barcode reader instead of the imaging device and reading the barcode written on the article.

  Moreover, in the said Example, as FIG. 6 shows, although the adhesive 4 which fixes the heat-shrinkable film 5 to the box 3 is located in the perpendicular direction upper direction of the adhesion layer 12, for example, adhesive 4 may be arranged on the center side of the inner surface 9 from the adhesive layer 12. According to this, since the article 2 moved by the heat-shrinkable heat-shrinkable film 5 moves from the adhesive 4 to the center side, the width of the inner side surface 9 of the inner surface 9 is more than the adhesive 4. The article 2 is easily peeled off from the adhesive layer 12 located.
