[0024]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a packaging container showing a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a packaging container showing a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a bottom side perspective view of the packaging container shown.

In the figure, reference numeral 50 denotes a packaging container for accommodating liquid food, which is manufactured by folding a packaging material 51 formed by laminating a paper base and a film (not shown) into a brick shape. The packaging material 51 is changed from the outermost surface when the packaging container 50 is formed (hereinafter referred to as the “outermost surface of the container”) to the innermost surface when the packaging container 50 is formed (hereinafter referred to as the “innermost surface of the container”). ), For example, a polyethylene layer, a paper substrate, an adhesive layer, an aluminum foil (foil) layer, an adhesive layer, and a polyethylene layer are sequentially laminated.

The packaging container 50 has a front 50a, a back 5
0b, side surfaces 50c and 50d, top surface 50e and bottom surface 50f
The horizontal seal portion S1 is formed substantially at the center of each of the side surfaces 50c and 50d, and the vertical seal portion S2 is formed substantially at the center of the bottom surface 50f. The horizontal seal portion S1 and the vertical seal portion S
2 are bent toward the back surface 50b side.

On the top surface 50e, there is formed a spout 53 for pouring out the liquid food contained in the packaging container 50, and a pull tab 54 is formed to cover the spout 53.
The consumer tears off the pull tab 54 and removes the spout 5
From 3, liquid food can be poured. The packaging material 51
At the innermost surface of the container of the spout 53, a lining tape, a pull tab tape or the like is welded, and the spout 53 is closed.

Ear pieces 56 bent from the top face 50e are welded to the side faces 50c and 50d, and a pair of ear pieces 57 bent from the side faces 50c and 50d are welded to the bottom face 50f. . Therefore, the back 50b
The horizontal seal portion S1 bent toward the side is provided on each of the side surfaces 50c and 50d, and the vertical seal portion S2 is provided on the bottom surface 5c.
The brick shape can be maintained without welding to 0f. As a result, the horizontal seal portion S1 and each side surface 5
0c, 50d, a groove-shaped gap (opening) 58 opening toward the back surface 50b is provided between the vertical seal portion S2 and the bottom surface 50f, a groove-shaped gap 59 opening toward the back surface 50b. Is formed.

The horizontal seal portion S1 serves as a locking fin for supporting the packaging container 50 with a side plate in a column of a vending machine described later. The packaging container 50 is manufactured to have a flat shape, and has a height H,
The dimensions H × W × L of the width W and the thickness L are, for example, 135 × 48 × 25 [mm] in the packaging container 50 having a capacity of 160 [ml], and the packaging container 50 having a capacity of 200 [ml]. Is 135 × 60 × 25 [mm], and is 135 × 75 × 25 [mm] in the packaging container 50 having a capacity of 250 [ml], and is 135 in a packaging container 50 having a capacity of 350 [ml]. × 105 × 25 [mm]. As described above, since the thickness L of the packaging container 50 is reduced, a plurality of packaging containers 50 can be loaded on the vending machine. Also, in order to prevent liquid spillage at the time of opening, usually, the packing material 51 on the front surface 50a and the back surface 50b is slightly pressed inward while filling the liquid food (underfilling). The amount of pressing 51 can be increased. Note that the height H, the width W, and the thickness L can be changed as needed.

The thickness L of the packaging container 50 is 3 to 6 times the width M of the locking fin. Next, a process of manufacturing the packaging container 50 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a filling machine for manufacturing a packaging container according to the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10 is a first molding step diagram of the packaging container according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 12 is a second molding process diagram of the packaging container showing the first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 12 is a third molding process diagram of the packaging container showing the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the top surface of the packaging container which shows Example. 13A is a perspective view of the top surface, and FIG. 13B is a cross-sectional view of the top surface.

In FIG. 9, reference numeral 60 denotes a filling machine, and a web-like packaging material 51 is fed from a roll 61 set at the rear of the filling machine 60. The wrapping material 51 passes between a pair of rollers 62, and forms a top surface 50e and a bottom surface 50f therebetween, as shown in FIG.
L4 is formed. Subsequently, the packaging material 51 passes between the pair of rollers 63 and is sterilized therebetween.

Next, the packaging material 51 is folded in half along the vertical folding line L1 as shown in FIG. 10, and in the cleaving device 64, the horizontal folding lines L5 to L8 for forming the side surfaces 50c and 50d. , And fold lines L9 to L12 for forming the ear pieces 56 and 57 are formed. Then, the packaging material 51
Is transported to the vertical sealing device 65, and the vertical sealing device 65 welds the edge opposite to the folding line L1 side in the transport direction to form the vertical sealing portion S2. Then, the packaging material 51 is transported downward as shown in FIG. 9, and a sealing device (not shown) welds the packaging material 51 at a set interval in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction to form a horizontal seal portion S1, A cutting device (not shown) cuts the packaging material 51 for each packaging container 50.

In the meantime, the liquid food is constantly supplied above the horizontal sealing portion S1 via the filling pipe 67,
It is filled in the packaging material 51. In this manner, the packaging material 51 is cut off for each packaging container 50, and each sealing portion S1,
Pillow (pillow) shaped bag 6 welded and sealed in S2
8 are formed, and subsequently, as shown in FIGS.
It is bent along the fold lines L1 to L12 to form a brick. At this time, the ear piece 56 is bent from the top surface 50e to the bottom surface 50f, and the side surfaces 50c, 50c are bent.
d, and the ear piece 57 is attached to each side face 50c, 5c.
It is bent from 0d toward the opposing side surfaces 50d, 50c and welded to the bottom surface 50f.

The vertical seal portion S2 and the horizontal seal portion S
1 is formed by welding the innermost surfaces of the containers, so that the end surface of the packaging material 51 does not appear in the packaging container 50. Further, since there is no need to weld the outermost surface of the container and the innermost surface of the container, the resin on the outermost surface of the container and the resin on the innermost surface of the container can be different from each other. Therefore, the degree of freedom in selecting the resin is increased.

In the vertical seal portion S2 and the horizontal seal portion S1, only two packaging materials 51 are stacked.
There are no overlapping parts. Therefore, the welding pressure becomes uniform over the entire area of the vertical seal portion S2 and the horizontal seal portion S1, and even when welding is performed by an ultrasonic seal, it is not necessary to form a relief in a part of a horn (not shown), and the sealing reliability is improved. Can be enhanced.

Further, since no sealing portion is formed on the top surface 50e, the spout 53 can be formed at the center of the packaging container 50 in the thickness direction. Then, even after the packaging container 50 is manufactured, a light mountain-folded state remains at the folding line L1 of the top surface 50e as shown in FIG.
The top surface 50e is not completely flat. The pull tab 54 is made of a material having strong stiffness, and a folding line L13 is formed at the center of the pull tab 54 by embossing.
Is formed, and a mountain fold state corresponding to the mountain fold state of the fold line L1 is formed. In this case, pull tab 5
When the sheet 4 is peeled off, the mountain fold state of the fold line L13 is inverted, and the pull tab 54 can be held in an upright state. The holding angle at this time can be set by changing the angle of the folding line L13 in the mountain-folded state.

Next, a vending machine for loading the packaging container 50 having the above configuration will be described. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a main part of a vending machine showing an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a main part of a vending machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
6 is an operation diagram of a first side plate of a vending machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 17 is an operation diagram of a second side plate of a vending machine showing an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG.
A plurality of packaging containers 50 are loaded on the
It has a pair of first side plates 71 and two pairs of second side plates 72 for holding the packaging container 50 from each side surface 50c, 50d,
The first and second side plates 71 and 72 are erected along the side wall of the column 70, and the first side plate 71 is
c, 50d, the second side plate 72 is adjacent to both sides of the first side plate 71 and each side surface 50
c, 50d.

As described above, the locking fins 74 are formed on the side surfaces 50c and 50d.
The packaging container 50 is stacked so that the container extends downward. The thickness L of the packaging container 50 is the width M of the locking fin 74.
Is set so as to be 3 to 6 times as large as that of FIG. The gap 58 is reliably formed.

On the other hand, on the surfaces of the first and second side plates 71, 72 facing the packaging container 50, as shown in FIGS. A support surface is formed, and when the first and second side plates 71 and 72 are advanced and brought into contact with the respective side surfaces 50 c and 50 d of the packaging container 50 to clamp the packaging container 50, the linear member 75 is separated from the gap 5.
8, engages with the locking fins 74, and
It supports 0.

Therefore, even if a plurality of packaging containers 50 are loaded on the column 70, the weight of the upper packaging container 50 is not added to the lower packaging container 50, so that the packaging container that can be loaded into a vending machine can be loaded. The number of refills 50 increases, the number of refills can be reduced, and the packaging container 50 does not deform. Further, no clogging of the container occurs in the column 70.

Further, since the thickness L of the packaging container 50 is small, the strength of each of the side surfaces 50c and 50d is increased, and the deformation of the packaging container 50 can be reduced. By the way, the second
The side plate 72 makes a crank motion as shown in FIG. 16 in order to convey the packaging container 50 downward by one. That is, first, the second side plate 72 retreats after moving the packaging container 50 downward by one distance while holding the packaging container 50, and then moves the packaging container 50 upward by one distance. Move forward later. Therefore, for example, a hydraulic cylinder 91 for moving the second side plates 72 forward and backward and a rack and pinion 92 for raising and lowering the second side plates 72 are provided. The first side plate 71 moves forward and backward as shown in FIG. Therefore, for example, a hydraulic cylinder 93 for moving the first side plates 71 forward and backward
Is arranged. In addition, in addition to the hydraulic cylinders 91 and 93 and the rack and pinion 92, a link mechanism, a motor, and the like can be used.

Therefore, usually, the first and second side plates 71,
All 72 are advanced to hold the packaging container 50, but when the consumer presses a button (not shown) of the vending machine to take out the packaging container 50,
After the first side plate 71 is retracted, the second side plate 72 moves downward while holding the packaging container 50. At this time, all the packaging containers 50 of the column 70 can be conveyed downward by one.

Next, after the first side plate 71 is moved forward, the second side plate 72 is moved backward. At this time, the first side plate 71 sandwiches the second and upper packaging containers 50 from below, so that the first packaging container 50 from the bottom is dropped to an unillustrated outlet. Thereafter, with the first side plate 71 advanced, the second side plate 72 is raised and advanced. Therefore, the first side plate 71 and the second side plate 7
The packaging container 50 is sandwiched by the two.

In this embodiment, the first and second side plates 71 and 72 have a brush-like supporting surface formed on the surface facing the packaging container 50. The support surface may be formed by urethane foam, or the support surface may be formed by rubber having fine unevenness, as long as the support surface supports each packaging container 50.

In the present embodiment, the second side plate 72 conveys the packaging container 50 downward by one piece by cranking movement, but separate second side plates are arranged at the upper and lower portions of the column 70, respectively. When the packaging container 50 is transported downward by one upper portion by the upper second side plate, and the packaging container 50 is transported downward by a movement amount larger than one by the lower second side plate, A gap can be formed between the packaging containers 50.

In this case, the warm air is convected to wrap the packaging container 50.
In a vending machine that heats the column 70, the upper part of the column 70 is used for preheating at a relatively low temperature, and the column 70 is heated.
A predetermined temperature can be set in the lower part of the package, and the packaging container 50 can be heated in a relatively short time due to the small thickness L of the packaging container 50. In this case, the quality of the liquid food can be maintained in a good state for a long period of time.

In the case of a packaging container 50 in which aluminum foil or the like is not used for the packaging material 51 (FIG. 1), the packaging container 50 can be heated by dielectric heating. In this case, since the thickness L of the packaging container 50 is small, the heating time can be reduced. In addition, since the height of the packaging container 50 is made flat and the height is increased, the bottom area is reduced, and when underfilling is performed, the liquid level is greatly reduced when the package is opened and liquid spillage at the time of opening can be prevented. There is also.

Further, since the printing surface of the packaging container 50 can be enlarged, the discriminability of the product can be improved. Even if a straw (not shown) is set to be substantially equal to the length of the diagonal line in the packaging container 50, the straw does not protrude from the packaging container 50 when the straw is attached. Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 18 is a perspective view of a packaging container showing a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, by printing a printed matter 80 such as a picture or a photograph on the front face 50a of the packaging container 50, the taste (pleasure) can be improved.
FIG. 19 is a perspective view of a packaging container showing a third embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, a stand 81 is provided on the back surface 50b of the packaging container 50, and the packaging container 50 that has not been completely drinkable is provided.
Can be independent.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be variously modified based on the gist of the present invention, and they are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.

[0052]

As described above in detail, according to the present invention, in a vending machine, a horizontal seal portion is provided on each side surface and is bent and locked from the front to the rear. Applied to packaging containers that form fins. A pair of first side plates erected along the side wall of the column and a pair of second side plates adjacent to the first side plate and erected along the side wall of the column. Means for selectively advancing and retracting the first side plates with respect to each other to hold the packaging container; and means for moving the second side plate downward while holding the packaging container while the first side plate is retracted. Having. Also, a number of irregularities are formed on the surfaces of the first side plate and the second side plate that face each other to engage with the locking fins.

[0053]

[0054]

In this case, usually, both the first side plate and the second side plate are moved forward to clamp the packaging container. However, a consumer presses a button of a vending machine to take out the packaging container. When the operation is performed, after the first side plate is retracted, the second side plate moves downward while holding the packaging container. At this time, all the packaging containers in the column can be moved downward by one.

Next, after the first side plate is advanced, the second side plate is retracted. At this time, the first side plate sandwiches the second and upper packaging containers from below, so that the first packaging container from the bottom is dropped to the outlet. Thereafter, the first side plate is left advanced and the second side plate is raised and then advanced. Therefore, the first
The packaging container is held between the side plate and the second side plate.

Further, since the first side plate and the second side plate are formed with a large number of irregularities which engage with the locking fins formed on the packaging container on the surfaces facing each other, each packaging container of the column has the irregularity. Respectively supported by. Therefore,
Even if multiple packing containers are loaded on the column, the weight of the upper packing container will not be added to the lower packing container,
The number of packaging containers that can be loaded into a vending machine increases, so that the number of refills can be reduced and the packaging containers are not deformed. Further, no clogging of the container occurs in the column.
