Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、パウチ容器における袋状の容器本体に熱溶着されるスパウトのシール部を予備的に加熱するスパウトの予備加熱装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、シャンプー等の液体商品を充填する容器として、合成樹脂フィルム等からなる内面が熱接着性を有するフレキシブルシートによって袋状の容器本体を形成し、この容器本体に、スクリューキャップ等によって口部を開閉することができるスパウトを取り付けたパウチ容器が使用されるようになってきている。
【0003】
ところで、こういったパウチ容器は、スパウトのシール部に袋状の容器本体を被せ、両者をシールバーで挟み込んでヒートシールすることによって、容器本体にスパウトを装着するのが一般的であり、容器本体とスパウトとのヒートシール部分に十分なシール性能を確保するために、両者をヒートシールする前に、予備加熱装置によって、スパウトのシール部を予備的に加熱することが行われている。
【0004】
こういった予備加熱装置としては、スパウト全体を取り囲むように、スパウトの搬送路に取り付けたカバーと、このカバー内に温風を供給する温風供給手段とを備えたものがあり、温風が供給されることによって、カバー内が常時所定温度(例えば、35℃程度)に保持され、そこをスパウトが通過することによって、スパウト全体が予備的に加熱されるようになっている。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
特開2001−353792号公報
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上述したような予備加熱装置では、スパウトにおけるシール部だけでなく、スクリューキャップが装着されるキャップ装着部も同時に加熱されるので、キャップ装着部の膨張や熱変形等に起因したスクリューキャップの密閉不良を考慮すると、カバー内の温度を極端に高くすることができない。
【0007】
従って、こういった予備加熱装置では、スパウトにおけるシール部の表面を十分に昇温させることができず、安定したシール性能を十分に確保することができないのが現状である。
【0008】
そこで、この発明の課題は、安定したシール性能を十分に確保することができるスパウトの予備加熱装置を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段及びその効果】
上記の課題を解決するため、請求項1にかかる発明は、パウチ容器における袋状の容器本体にヒートシールされるスパウトのシール部を予備的に加熱するスパウトの予備加熱装置であって、スパウトのキャップ装着部に対して所定方向に常温のエアを吹き付けることで、スパウトを搬送するエア搬送手段を有するスパウト供給レーンに設置されており、順次搬送される前記スパウトにおける、キャップ装着部を除くシール部のみを取り囲む加熱ダクトと、前記加熱ダクト内に熱風を供給する熱風供給手段とを備え、前記エア搬送手段が前記キャップ装着部に常温のエアを吹き付けることで、スパウトのキャップ装着部が加熱されないようにしつつ、前記加熱ダクトによって取り囲まれたスパウトのシール部のみが前記加熱ダクト内に導入される熱風によって局部的に加熱されるように構成されていることを特徴とするスパウトの予備加熱装置を提供するものである。
【0010】
以上のように、この予備加熱装置は、加熱ダクトによって取り囲まれたスパウトのシール部のみが、加熱ダクト内に導入される熱風によって局部的に加熱されるようになっているので、スパウトのキャップ装着部を加熱することなく、加熱ダクト内の温度、即ち、加熱ダクト内に導入される熱風の温度や加熱ダクトを通過するスパウトの通過時間を調整することによって、スパウトのシール部の表面温度を、所望の温度まで昇温させることができ、容器本体とスパウトのシール部とのヒートシール部分に十分なシール性能を確保することが可能となる。
【0011】
また、この予備加熱装置は、スパウトのキャップ装着部に対して所定方向に常温のエアを吹き付けることで、スパウトを搬送するエア搬送手段を有するスパウト供給レーンに設置されているので、スパウトのキャップ装着部が、さらに加熱されにくいという効果が得られる
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。図1は、図5に示すように、内面にポリエチレン系樹脂等からなる熱接着性樹脂層を有するフレキシブルシートによって形成された袋状の容器本体Bにポリエチレン系樹脂等からなるスパウトSが装着されたパウチ容器Pの製袋装置2にスパウトSを供給するためのスパウト供給装置3を示している。このスパウト供給装置3は、多数のスパウトSを集積するストッカ4と、このストッカ4に集積されたスパウトSを搬送するバケットコンベア5と、このバケットコンベア5によって搬送されてくる複数のスパウトSを、整列させた状態で1個づつ送出するパーツフィーダ6と、このパーツフィーダ6によって1個づつ送出されるスパウトSをパウチ容器の製袋装置2に引き渡すスパウト供給レーン7とを備えており、スパウト供給レーン7には、スパウトSのシール部S2を予備的に加熱する予備加熱装置が設置されている。
【0014】
前記スパウト供給レーン7は、図2及び図3に示すように、スパウトSを、そのキャップ装着部S1とシール部S2との境界部分に形成された上下一対の鍔部F1、F2(図5参照)の間に嵌り込むことによって、スパウトSを摺動自在に支持する左右一対のガイド板7a、7bと、このガイド板7a、7bに支持されたスパウトSのキャップ装着部S1に対して所定方向に常温のエアを吹き付けることで、ガイド板7a、7bに沿ってスパウトSを摺動させるエア搬送手段7cとを備えており、ガイド板7a、7b、エア搬送手段7c及びスパウトS等を囲うように、スパウトSの搬送路に沿って、カバー7dが取り付けられている。
【0015】
前記予備加熱装置1は、図2及び図3に示すように、スパウト供給レーン7を通過するスパウトSのシール部S2を取り囲む加熱ダクト11と、この加熱ダクト11内に、例えば、70〜100℃程度の熱風を供給する、図示しない熱風供給手段とを備えており、スパウトSのシール部S2が加熱ダクト11内を通過する間に、シール部S2の表面温度が50〜60℃程度まで昇温されるようになっている。なお、シール部S2の表面温度は、加熱ダクト11内に供給される熱風の温度や加熱ダクト11を通過するスパウトSの通過時間によって調整することができる。
【0016】
前記加熱ダクト11は、スパウト供給レーン7を構成しているガイド板7a、7bと、このガイド板7a、7bの下側を囲う断面略U字状のダクト本体12と、このダクト本体12の両端開口部を、スパウトSが通過可能に略閉塞する端板13とから構成されており、ダクト本体12は、スパウト供給レーン7のカバー7dを支持しているブラケット7eに固定された支持プレート14に支持されている。
【0017】
ダクト本体12及び支持プレート14には、相互に一致する熱風導入口12a及び熱風導入穴14aがそれぞれ形成されており、支持プレート14には、ブロック15を介して、熱風供給手段から熱風を送出する熱風チューブ19を接続するための接続タッピング16が取り付けられている。
【0018】
また、加熱ダクト11内には、ダクト本体12の底面を略覆うように、ダクト本体12の長手方向に伸びる多数の小孔が形成された遮蔽板17が、支持脚18を介して、所定の高さ位置に支持されており、3カ所の熱風導入口12aから導入される高温の熱風が、スパウトSのシール部S2に直接吹き付けられず、分散されるようになっている。
【0019】
以上のように、この予備加熱装置1は、加熱ダクト11によってキャップ装着部S1から区画されたスパウトSのシール部S2が、加熱ダクト11内に導入される熱風によって局部的に加熱されるようになっているので、スパウトSのキャップ装着部S1を加熱することなく、加熱ダクト11内の温度、即ち、加熱ダクト11内に導入される熱風の温度を調整することによって、スパウトSのシール部S2の表面温度を、所望の温度まで昇温させることができ、容器本体Bを形成する2枚のフレキシブルシートの間にスパウトSのシール部S2を挟み込んで、フレキシブルシートの外面からヒートシールする際に、容器本体Bを形成するフレキシブルシートの内面とスパウトSのシール部S2とのヒートシール部分に十分なシール性能(フレキシブルシートに収縮や皺等のダメージを与えず、適度なシール強度が得られる)を確保することが可能となる。
【0020】
特に、この予備加熱装置1が設置されているスパウト供給レーン7では、スパウトSのキャップ装着部S1に対して所定方向に常温のエアを吹き付けることで、ガイド板7a、7bに沿ってスパウトSを摺動させるようになっているので、スパウトSのキャップ装着部S1が、さらに加熱されにくくなっている。
【0021】
なお、上述した実施形態では、スパウトSのシール部S2を加熱ダクト11で囲い、加熱ダクト11内に導入される熱風によって、スパウトSのシール部S2を加熱するようにしているが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、順次搬送されてくるスパウトSのキャップ装着部S1とシール部S2とを区画する仕切体を設け、仕切体の下側に所定温度に調整された温風や熱風を吹き付けることによって、スパウトSのシール部S2を加熱したり、遠赤外線ヒータ等の輻射熱ヒータでスパウトSのシール部S2を直接加熱したりすることも可能である。この場合、スパウトSを摺動可能に支持しているガイド板7a、7bを仕切体として使用することができることはいうまでもない。
【0022】
また、上述した実施形態では、スパウトSをパウチ容器Pの製袋装置2に引き渡すスパウト供給レーン7に設置される予備加熱装置1について説明したが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、図4に示すように、製袋装置2に通常設けられている、袋状の容器本体BとスパウトSのシール部S2とをヒートシールするための一対のシールバー(例えば、180℃)SBや容器本体Bとシール部S2とのヒートシール部分を冷却するための一対の冷却バー(常温)CBに加えて、スパウトSのシール部S2の表面形状と略合致した内側面形状を有する一対の加熱バー(例えば、100℃)HBを設け、まず、同図(a)に示すように、スパウトSのシール部S2を加熱バーHBによって所定時間挟み込んで加熱することで、シール部S2の表面温度を50〜60℃程度まで昇温させた後、同図(b)に示すように、スパウトSのシール部S2に容器本体Bを被せ、シールバーSBによって挟み込んで両者をヒートシールし、同図(c)に示すように、容器本体BとスパウトSとのヒートシール部分を冷却バーCBによって挟み込んで冷却するようにしてもよい。
【0023】
以上のように、このスパウトの予備加熱装置では、スパウトSのシール部S2に容器本体Bを被せてヒートシールする直前に、スパウトSのシール部S2を一対の加熱バーHBによって挟み込んで、ヒートシールに必要なシール部S2の表面のみを直接加熱するようになっているので、加熱バーHBの温度や加熱バーHBによるシール部S2の挟持時間を適宜調整することで、スパウトSにおけるシール部S2の表面温度を所望の温度まで昇温させることができ、容器本体BとスパウトSのシール部S2とのヒートシール部分に十分なシール性能を確保することが可能となる。
【0024】
なお、図4では、スパウトSを効率よく移動(昇降)させるために、最上位置に加熱バーHBを、中間位置にシールバーSBを、最下位置に冷却バーCBを配置しているが、これに限定されるものではなく、例えば、最上位置にシールバーSBを、中間位置に加熱バーHBを、最下位置に冷却バーCBを配置するといった具合に、加熱温度の高いものが上側に位置するように、配置することも可能である。

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 5, a spout S made of polyethylene resin or the like is attached to a bag-like container body B formed of a flexible sheet having a heat-adhesive resin layer made of polyethylene resin or the like on the inner surface. The spout supply device 3 for supplying the spout S to the bag making device 2 of the pouch container P is shown. The spout supply device 3 includes a stocker 4 for accumulating a large number of spouts S, a bucket conveyor 5 for conveying the spouts S accumulated in the stocker 4, and a plurality of spouts S conveyed by the bucket conveyor 5. A spout supply lane is provided, which includes a parts feeder 6 that sends out one by one in an aligned state, and a spout supply lane 7 that delivers the spout S that is sent one by one by the parts feeder 6 to the bag making apparatus 2 of the pouch container. In the lane 7, a preheating device for preliminarily heating the seal portion S2 of the spout S is installed.
[0014]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the spout supply lane 7 includes a pair of upper and lower flange portions F1 and F2 (see FIG. 5) formed on the boundary portion between the cap mounting portion S1 and the seal portion S2. ) Between the left and right guide plates 7a and 7b that slidably support the spout S and a cap mounting portion S1 of the spout S supported by the guide plates 7a and 7b in a predetermined direction. And air conveying means 7c for sliding the spout S along the guide plates 7a and 7b by blowing normal temperature air to the guide plates 7a and 7b, the air conveying means 7c, the spout S and so on. A cover 7d is attached along the transport path of the spout S.
[0015]
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the preheating device 1 includes a heating duct 11 that surrounds the seal portion S <b> 2 of the spout S that passes through the spout supply lane 7, and the heating duct 11 includes, for example, 70 to 100 ° C. A hot air supply means (not shown) for supplying hot air of a certain degree, and while the seal part S2 of the spout S passes through the heating duct 11, the surface temperature of the seal part S2 is raised to about 50 to 60 ° C. It has come to be. The surface temperature of the seal portion S2 can be adjusted by the temperature of the hot air supplied into the heating duct 11 and the passage time of the spout S passing through the heating duct 11.
[0016]
The heating duct 11 includes guide plates 7a and 7b constituting a spout supply lane 7, a duct body 12 having a substantially U-shaped cross section surrounding the lower sides of the guide plates 7a and 7b, and both ends of the duct body 12 The opening is composed of an end plate 13 that is substantially closed so that the spout S can pass therethrough. The duct body 12 is attached to a support plate 14 fixed to a bracket 7e that supports the cover 7d of the spout supply lane 7. It is supported.
[0017]
The duct body 12 and the support plate 14 are respectively formed with hot air introduction ports 12a and hot air introduction holes 14a that coincide with each other. Hot air is sent from the hot air supply means to the support plate 14 via the block 15. A connection tapping 16 for connecting the hot air tube 19 is attached.
[0018]
In addition, a shielding plate 17 in which a large number of small holes extending in the longitudinal direction of the duct main body 12 is formed in the heating duct 11 so as to substantially cover the bottom surface of the duct main body 12 via a support leg 18. The hot hot air that is supported at the height position and is introduced from the three hot air inlets 12a is not directly blown to the seal portion S2 of the spout S, but is dispersed.
[0019]
As described above, the preheating device 1 is configured so that the seal portion S2 of the spout S partitioned from the cap mounting portion S1 by the heating duct 11 is locally heated by the hot air introduced into the heating duct 11. Therefore, by adjusting the temperature in the heating duct 11, that is, the temperature of the hot air introduced into the heating duct 11, without heating the cap mounting portion S1 of the spout S, the sealing portion S2 of the spout S is adjusted. The surface temperature of the spout S can be raised to a desired temperature, and the sealing portion S2 of the spout S is sandwiched between the two flexible sheets forming the container body B and heat sealed from the outer surface of the flexible sheet. , Sufficient sealing performance for the heat seal portion between the inner surface of the flexible sheet forming the container body B and the seal portion S2 of the spout S Without damaging such shrinkage or wrinkles Shiburushito moderate seal strength can be obtained) can be ensured.
[0020]
In particular, in the spout supply lane 7 in which the preheating device 1 is installed, the spout S is blown along the guide plates 7a and 7b by blowing air at normal temperature to the cap mounting part S1 of the spout S in a predetermined direction. Since it is made to slide, the cap mounting part S1 of the spout S is further hardly heated.
[0021]
In the embodiment described above, the sealing portion S2 of the spout S is surrounded by the heating duct 11, and the sealing portion S2 of the spout S is heated by hot air introduced into the heating duct 11, but this is not limitative. For example, a partition body that partitions the cap mounting portion S1 and the seal portion S2 of the spout S that is sequentially conveyed is provided, and hot air or hot air adjusted to a predetermined temperature is provided below the partition body. By spraying, it is possible to heat the seal portion S2 of the spout S, or to directly heat the seal portion S2 of the spout S with a radiant heat heater such as a far infrared heater. In this case, it is needless to say that the guide plates 7a and 7b that support the spout S so as to be slidable can be used as a partition.
[0022]
Moreover, although the embodiment mentioned above demonstrated the preheating apparatus 1 installed in the spout supply lane 7 which delivers the spout S to the bag making apparatus 2 of the pouch container P, it is not limited to this, For example, FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, a pair of seal bars (for example, 180 ° C.) SB and containers for heat-sealing the bag-shaped container body B and the seal part S2 of the spout S, which are usually provided in the bag-making apparatus 2 In addition to a pair of cooling bars (room temperature) CB for cooling the heat seal portion between the main body B and the seal portion S2, a pair of heating bars having an inner surface shape substantially matching the surface shape of the seal portion S2 of the spout S (For example, 100 ° C.) HB is provided, and first, as shown in FIG. 5A, the sealing portion S2 of the spout S is sandwiched by the heating bar HB for a predetermined time to be heated. After raising the surface temperature to about 50 to 60 ° C., as shown in FIG. 5B, the container body B is put on the seal part S2 of the spout S and sandwiched by the seal bar SB to heat-seal both. As shown in FIG. 5C, the heat seal portion between the container main body B and the spout S may be sandwiched between cooling bars CB and cooled.
[0023]
As described above, in this spout preheating apparatus, just before the heat sealing is performed by covering the container body B with the seal portion S2 of the spout S, the seal portion S2 of the spout S is sandwiched between the pair of heating bars HB, and the heat seal is performed. Since only the surface of the seal part S2 necessary for heating is directly heated, the temperature of the heating bar HB and the holding time of the seal part S2 by the heating bar HB are appropriately adjusted, so that the seal part S2 in the spout S can be adjusted. The surface temperature can be raised to a desired temperature, and sufficient sealing performance can be ensured in the heat seal portion between the container body B and the seal portion S2 of the spout S.
[0024]
In FIG. 4, in order to efficiently move (lift) the spout S, the heating bar HB is disposed at the uppermost position, the seal bar SB is disposed at the intermediate position, and the cooling bar CB is disposed at the lowermost position. For example, the one having the higher heating temperature is positioned on the upper side, for example, the seal bar SB is disposed at the uppermost position, the heating bar HB is disposed at the intermediate position, and the cooling bar CB is disposed at the lowermost position. It is also possible to arrange them.
[0025]
Further, it is needless to say that the spout preheating device of the present invention can be applied to spouts having various cross-sectional shapes such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a boat shape, and a diamond shape.
