Description

本発明は、たとえば容器の蓋などを開閉する開閉機構、該開閉機構を用いた開閉方法、および該開閉機構を構成する開閉構造に関する。   The present invention relates to an opening / closing mechanism for opening and closing a lid of a container, for example, an opening / closing method using the opening / closing mechanism, and an opening / closing structure constituting the opening / closing mechanism.

現在、例えば製薬会社等の固形製剤工場において錠剤や粉薬などの固形製剤を生成するには、バッチ生産方式が基本とされているため原料・中間品の搬送、保管には容器の使用が不可欠である。また、容器内の固形製剤が保管時に変質しないように容器には気密性が要求される。   Currently, in order to produce solid preparations such as tablets and powders in solid preparation factories such as pharmaceutical companies, it is essential to use containers for transporting and storing raw materials and intermediate products because the batch production method is fundamental. is there. In addition, the container is required to be airtight so that the solid preparation in the container does not deteriorate during storage.

ここで、容器の気密を確保するためには、パッキンを介して蓋と容器本体とをクランプバンドで締め付けて容器を密閉するのが一般的である(例えば、特許文献1参照)。そして、このように気密された容器の蓋を開閉する装置として、クランプバンドを開閉するロボットが知られている(例えば、非特許文献1参照)。このロボットにおいては、人手を介さずにクランプバンドを開閉することができるため、生産ラインを省人化することができる。   Here, in order to ensure the hermeticity of the container, the container is generally sealed by tightening the lid and the container main body with a clamp band via a packing (for example, see Patent Document 1). A robot that opens and closes a clamp band is known as a device that opens and closes the lid of a container sealed in this manner (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). In this robot, since the clamp band can be opened and closed without human intervention, the production line can be saved.

以下、図面を参照して、本発明の実施の形態に係る開閉機構について、製薬会社等の固形製剤工場において錠剤や粉薬などの固形製剤を保管する小型缶の蓋を開閉する場合を例に説明する。図1は、実施の形態に係る容器を示す概要斜視図であり、図2は、本発明における容器の要部を示す要部断面図である。図1に示すように、容器2は、金属で形成されており、有底の円筒状の容器本体4と円盤状の蓋6(開閉部材)とを備えている。   Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the opening / closing mechanism according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking as an example the case of opening and closing the lid of a small can for storing solid preparations such as tablets and powders in a solid preparation factory such as a pharmaceutical company. To do. FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a container according to an embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the container according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the container 2 is made of metal and includes a bottomed cylindrical container body 4 and a disk-shaped lid 6 (opening / closing member).

容器本体4の開口4a側には、容器本体4の外周面に対して径方向外方に張り出した断面略円形状の張出部4bが形成されている。また、図2に示すように、蓋6の外周縁には、下方(容器本体4側)に向けて延出すると共に蓋6の径方向外方に向けて屈曲し、チューブ構造を有するシール材8を蓋6の外周縁の直下に位置するように保持する断面C字状の保持部6aが形成されている。そして、蓋6の外周天面の所定の位置には、後述する減圧路6bが立設されている。   On the side of the opening 4 a of the container body 4, a protruding portion 4 b having a substantially circular cross section that protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the container body 4 is formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a sealing material having a tube structure is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the lid 6, extending downward (toward the container body 4) and bent outward in the radial direction of the lid 6. A holding portion 6 a having a C-shaped cross section is formed to hold 8 so as to be positioned immediately below the outer peripheral edge of the lid 6. And the decompression path 6b mentioned later is standingly arranged in the predetermined position of the outer peripheral top surface of the lid | cover 6. As shown in FIG.

なお、シール材8は、容器本体4と蓋6とを気密にするために備えられた弾性変形可能な部材であり、内部に空間8aが形成されている。また、シール材8は、内周部と外周部とを備えた円環状に形成されており、内周部から径方向内方に延出した円環状の平面部8bを備えている。   The sealing material 8 is an elastically deformable member provided to make the container body 4 and the lid 6 airtight, and a space 8a is formed inside. The sealing material 8 is formed in an annular shape including an inner peripheral portion and an outer peripheral portion, and includes an annular flat surface portion 8b extending radially inward from the inner peripheral portion.

減圧路6bは蓋6の天面からシール材8に挿通され、減圧路6bにより、後述する減圧部10c(図3参照)とシール材8の空間8aとが連通される。
シール材8は、減圧路6bを介して空間8a内の流体が吸引されて減圧された収縮形状と、減圧路6bを介して空間8a内に流体が吸入されて収縮形状から復元した復元形状とに弾性変形可能に形成されている。また、シール材8は、復元形状で容器2を気密状態とし、収縮形状で容器2の気密状態を解除するように構成されている。
The decompression path 6b is inserted into the sealing material 8 from the top surface of the lid 6, and the decompression section 10c (see FIG. 3) to be described later and the space 8a of the sealing material 8 communicate with each other by the decompression path 6b.
The sealing material 8 has a contracted shape in which the fluid in the space 8a is sucked through the decompression path 6b and decompressed, and a restored shape in which the fluid is sucked into the space 8a through the decompression path 6b and restored from the contracted shape. It is formed to be elastically deformable. Further, the sealing material 8 is configured to make the container 2 in an airtight state in a restored shape and to release the airtight state of the container 2 in a contracted shape.

本実施の形態では、シール材8は、内周部が屈伸することで収縮形状及び復元形状に変形するため屈伸幅が大きく、張出部4bとシール材8との間に形成される隙間(後述する)を確実に形成することができる。   In the present embodiment, the sealing material 8 is deformed into a contracted shape and a restored shape by bending and stretching the inner peripheral portion, so that the bending width is large, and a gap (between the protruding portion 4b and the sealing material 8 ( (Described later) can be reliably formed.

本実施の形態では、シール材8は、蓋6を閉じた場合に容器本体4の外周面に沿って配置され、蓋6は、容器本体4に対して外嵌合となっている。シール材8が容器本体4の外周面に沿って配置されることで、容器本体4を傾けて製剤を排出する際にシール材8周りに製剤が溜るのを防止することができる。
シール材8は、例えばシリコーン、エチレン・プロピレン・ジエンゴム(EPDM)等のゴム材料によって形成されたゴム製の部材である。
In the present embodiment, the sealing material 8 is disposed along the outer peripheral surface of the container body 4 when the lid 6 is closed, and the lid 6 is externally fitted to the container body 4. By disposing the sealing material 8 along the outer peripheral surface of the container main body 4, it is possible to prevent the preparation from collecting around the sealing material 8 when the container main body 4 is tilted to discharge the preparation.
The sealing material 8 is a rubber member formed of a rubber material such as silicone or ethylene / propylene / diene rubber (EPDM).

図3は、実施の形態に係る開閉機構において、開閉ロボット10で容器2の蓋6を開閉する状態を示す概要図である。図3に示すように、蓋6の開閉は、開閉ロボット10により容器2を作業台12上に載置して行われる。開閉ロボット10は、容器2を把持する把持部10a、把持部10aに把持された容器2を移動するアーム10b、減圧部10cと開閉部10dを下方に備え、上下方向に延びるガイド10eに沿って蓋6上を上下に移動する上下動部10f(移動部)を備えている。   FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a state in which the lid 6 of the container 2 is opened and closed by the opening and closing robot 10 in the opening and closing mechanism according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 6 is opened and closed by placing the container 2 on the work table 12 by the opening and closing robot 10. The opening / closing robot 10 includes a holding part 10a for holding the container 2, an arm 10b for moving the container 2 held by the holding part 10a, a decompression part 10c and an opening / closing part 10d, and a guide 10e extending vertically. A vertical movement part 10f (moving part) that moves up and down on the lid 6 is provided.

ここで、減圧部10cは、蓋6の開閉時に減圧路6bに装着され、減圧路6bを介してシール材8の空間8aの減圧を行う。また、開閉部10dは、吸盤などを備え、蓋6の天面に吸着して蓋6の開閉を行う。   Here, the decompression unit 10c is attached to the decompression path 6b when the lid 6 is opened and closed, and decompresses the space 8a of the sealing material 8 through the decompression path 6b. Moreover, the opening / closing part 10d includes a suction cup or the like, and opens and closes the lid 6 by being attracted to the top surface of the lid 6.

次に、開閉ロボット10で容器2の蓋6を開閉する手順について説明する。まず、図4に示すように、固形製剤工場において、それぞれ所定の場所に開閉ロボット10、容器2を収納した棚14、作業台12が配置されている。ここで、容器2の蓋6を開ける場合、図4(a)に示すように、まず開閉ロボット10は、アーム10bを移動させ、把持部10aで棚14上に陳列されている蓋6が閉じた容器2を把持する。   Next, a procedure for opening and closing the lid 6 of the container 2 by the opening / closing robot 10 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 4, in the solid pharmaceutical factory, the opening / closing robot 10, the shelf 14 storing the containers 2, and the work table 12 are arranged at predetermined positions, respectively. Here, when the lid 6 of the container 2 is opened, as shown in FIG. 4A, the opening / closing robot 10 first moves the arm 10b, and the lid 6 displayed on the shelf 14 is closed by the grip portion 10a. Hold the container 2.

次に、開閉ロボット10は、アーム10bを移動させて容器2を作業台12上に移載する。なお、この時点において、図5(a)に示すように、容器2はシール材8によって密閉されている。次に、開閉ロボット10は、図4(b)に示すように、ガイド10eに沿って上下動部10fを下降させる。これにより、開閉部10dが蓋6の天面に接触すると共に、減圧部10cが減圧路6bに装着される。   Next, the open / close robot 10 moves the arm 10 b to transfer the container 2 onto the work table 12. At this time, the container 2 is sealed with a sealing material 8 as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the open / close robot 10 lowers the vertical movement portion 10f along the guide 10e. Thereby, the opening / closing part 10d comes into contact with the top surface of the lid 6, and the decompression part 10c is mounted on the decompression path 6b.

次に、開閉ロボット10は、図5(b)に示すように、減圧部10cを作動させて、シール材8の空間8aを減圧する(減圧工程)。これにより、空間8a内の空気が吸引されて空間8aが負圧になり、空間8aが収縮し、張出部4bとシール材8との間に隙間ができて両者の密着状態が解除され、容器本体4から蓋6を外すことが可能となる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, the open / close robot 10 operates the decompression unit 10c to decompress the space 8a of the sealing material 8 (decompression process). Thereby, the air in the space 8a is sucked, the space 8a becomes negative pressure, the space 8a contracts, a gap is formed between the protruding portion 4b and the sealing material 8, and the close contact state between both is released. The lid 6 can be removed from the container body 4.

この状態で、開閉ロボット10は、開閉部10dで蓋6の天面を吸着し、ガイド10eに沿って上下動部10fを上昇させて容器本体4の開口4aから蓋6を移動させ、容器2の蓋6を開ける(開放工程)。   In this state, the open / close robot 10 sucks the top surface of the lid 6 with the open / close section 10d, moves the vertical movement section 10f along the guide 10e, moves the lid 6 from the opening 4a of the container body 4, and moves the container 2 Open the lid 6 (opening step).

一方、容器2の蓋6を閉める場合、開閉ロボット10は、蓋6が空いた容器2、すなわち容器本体4を作業台12上に移載し、容器本体4の直上に開閉部10dに天面を吸着させた蓋6を位置させる。次に、開閉ロボット10は、この状態で減圧部10cを作動させて、図6(a)に示すように、保持部6aに保持されているシール材8の空間8aを減圧する(減圧工程)。これにより、空間8a内の空気が吸引されて空間8aが負圧になり、空間8aが収縮する。   On the other hand, when closing the lid 6 of the container 2, the open / close robot 10 transfers the container 2 with the lid 6 vacant, that is, the container main body 4, onto the work table 12, and places the top surface on the open / close unit 10 d directly above the container main body 4. The lid 6 that adsorbs is positioned. Next, the open / close robot 10 operates the decompression unit 10c in this state to decompress the space 8a of the sealing material 8 held by the holding unit 6a as shown in FIG. 6A (decompression step). . Thereby, the air in the space 8a is sucked, the space 8a becomes negative pressure, and the space 8a contracts.

次に、図6(b)に示すように、開閉ロボット10は、このまま、ガイド10eに沿って上下動部10fを下降させ、容器本体4の開口4aに蓋6を被せる(閉塞工程)。この場合、空間8aが収縮してシール材8が変形した状態なので、シール材8が張出部4bに当たって蓋6を閉める動作が妨げられることがない。なお、蓋6を閉めた時には、平面部8bが蓋6と容器本体4の間に挟まるため、金属同士の接触が回避され金属粉発生が抑制され、容器本体4内に収容された製剤に金属粉が混入するのを防止することができる。容器本体4の開口4aに蓋6が被せられて蓋6で開口4aが塞がれると、開閉ロボット10は、減圧部10cによる減圧を停止する(停止工程)。減圧部10cによる減圧が停止すると、減圧路6bを介して空間8a内に流体(外気)が流入し、これにより、空間8aが負圧の状態から復圧され、シール材8の断面形状が元の状態に復元される。このため、張出部4bとシール材8とが密着し、シール材8によって蓋6で閉塞された容器本体4が気密状態になる(気密工程)。   Next, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the open / close robot 10 keeps the vertical movement portion 10f lowered along the guide 10e and covers the opening 6a of the container body 4 with the lid 6 (blocking step). In this case, since the space 8a contracts and the sealing material 8 is deformed, the operation of closing the lid 6 by the sealing material 8 hitting the overhanging portion 4b is not hindered. When the lid 6 is closed, the flat portion 8b is sandwiched between the lid 6 and the container body 4, so that contact between metals is avoided and generation of metal powder is suppressed. Mixing of powder can be prevented. When the lid 6 is put on the opening 4a of the container body 4 and the opening 4a is closed by the lid 6, the open / close robot 10 stops the decompression by the decompression unit 10c (stopping process). When the decompression by the decompression unit 10c is stopped, the fluid (outside air) flows into the space 8a via the decompression path 6b, whereby the space 8a is decompressed from the negative pressure state, and the cross-sectional shape of the sealing material 8 is restored. Restored to the state. For this reason, the overhang | projection part 4b and the sealing material 8 closely_contact | adhere, and the container main body 4 obstruct | occluded with the lid | cover 6 with the sealing material 8 will be in an airtight state (airtight process).

この場合、シール材8は、弾性力によって容器本体4の外周面を締め付けることで容器本体4に密着してもよい。
この実施の形態の開閉機構によれば、蓋6の開閉時にシール材8の空間8aを減圧することにより、容器2の密閉及び密閉解除の構造を簡単にすることができ、蓋6の開閉作業を容易にすることができる。また、クランプバンドを介さないため、1台の開閉ロボット10で蓋6の開閉ができ固形製材工場に配置するロボットの費用を低減することができる。
In this case, the sealing material 8 may be in close contact with the container body 4 by tightening the outer peripheral surface of the container body 4 with an elastic force.
According to the opening / closing mechanism of this embodiment, the structure for sealing and releasing the container 2 can be simplified by reducing the pressure of the space 8a of the sealing material 8 when the lid 6 is opened and closed. Can be made easier. Further, since no clamp band is used, the lid 6 can be opened and closed by a single opening / closing robot 10, and the cost of the robot placed in the solid sawmill can be reduced.

また、シール材8は、保持部6aによって保持されているため、開閉作業中にシール材8が蓋6から脱落することを防止できる。さらに、本実施の形態では、シール材8は、蓋6に着脱可能に取り付けられているので、シール材8から取り外して洗浄することができ、洗浄後のシール材8は、再度利用することができる。   Further, since the sealing material 8 is held by the holding portion 6a, it is possible to prevent the sealing material 8 from dropping from the lid 6 during the opening / closing operation. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the sealing material 8 is detachably attached to the lid 6, it can be removed from the sealing material 8 and cleaned, and the cleaned sealing material 8 can be reused. it can.

また、蓋6と容器本体4が直接接しないため、金属同士の接触が無く金属粉発生を抑制することができる。なお、上述の実施の形態において、シール材8は必ずしも断面略円形状でなくてもよい。たとえば、シール材8は、図7に示すように、保持部6a側に保持される断面略半円状の第1シール部20と、該第1シール部20に連設され、内部に空間8aが形成された第2シール部22とから構成されたシール材18であってもよい。   Moreover, since the lid 6 and the container body 4 do not directly contact each other, there is no contact between metals, and metal powder generation can be suppressed. In the above-described embodiment, the sealing material 8 does not necessarily have a substantially circular cross section. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the sealing material 8 includes a first seal portion 20 having a substantially semicircular cross section that is held on the holding portion 6 a side, the first seal portion 20, and a space 8 a inside the first seal portion 20. The sealing material 18 comprised from the 2nd seal | sticker part 22 in which was formed may be sufficient.

ここで、第1シール部20は、断面略半円状の本体部20aと第2シール部22側に突出する突出部20bを有し、両者の間には、括れ部20cが形成されている。また、第2シール部22は、第1シール部20側に位置する外周部に括れ部20cと係合する係合部22aと、内周部(第1シール部20の反対側)に略半円状に凹む凹部22bと、下端部に空間8a側に突出する内側突出部22c及び空間8aの外側に突出する外側突出部22dと、凹部22bの下端に位置し蓋6を閉じたときに張出部4bと密着する密着部22eとを備えている。   Here, the first seal portion 20 has a main body portion 20a having a substantially semicircular cross section and a protruding portion 20b protruding toward the second seal portion 22, and a constricted portion 20c is formed between the two. . In addition, the second seal portion 22 has an engagement portion 22a that engages with the constricted portion 20c at the outer peripheral portion located on the first seal portion 20 side, and a substantially half on the inner peripheral portion (the opposite side of the first seal portion 20). A recess 22b that is recessed in a circular shape, an inner protrusion 22c that protrudes toward the space 8a at the lower end, an outer protrusion 22d that protrudes outward from the space 8a, and a tension when the lid 6 is closed at the lower end of the recess 22b. The contact part 22e which closely_contact | adheres to the protrusion part 4b is provided.

第1シール部20は、保持部6aに保持され、第2シール部22は、外周部の側面が第1シール部20に当接し且つ上面が蓋6の外周縁の下面に当接している。そのため、シール材18は、凹部22b、密着部22e、内側突出部22c、及び外側突出部22dが蓋6に対して解放された状態となっており、その他の部分は蓋6及び保持部6aに拘束された状態となっている。   The first seal portion 20 is held by the holding portion 6 a, and the second seal portion 22 has a side surface of the outer peripheral portion in contact with the first seal portion 20 and an upper surface in contact with the lower surface of the outer peripheral edge of the lid 6. Therefore, the sealing material 18 is in a state in which the concave portion 22b, the close contact portion 22e, the inner protruding portion 22c, and the outer protruding portion 22d are released from the lid 6, and other portions are placed on the lid 6 and the holding portion 6a. It is in a restrained state.

ここで、シール材18は、内側突出部22cと外側突出部22dが屈伸可能に構成されており(屈伸部)、この屈伸部である内側突出部22cと外側突出部22dを屈伸させることにより、空間8a(シール材18)が収縮および復元する。   Here, the sealing material 18 is configured such that the inner projecting portion 22c and the outer projecting portion 22d can bend and stretch (bending and stretching portion), and by bending and stretching the inner projecting portion 22c and the outer projecting portion 22d that are the bending and stretching portions, The space 8a (seal material 18) contracts and restores.

たとえば、シール材18は、空間8aを減圧した場合には、図8(a)に示すように、内側突出部22cと外側突出部22dが空間8a側に移動して空間8aが略三角形状になる。このため、密着部22eと張出部4bとの間に隙間ができて容器本体4に蓋6を着脱することが可能となる。   For example, when the space 8a is depressurized, as shown in FIG. 8A, the sealing member 18 moves the inner projecting portion 22c and the outer projecting portion 22d toward the space 8a so that the space 8a has a substantially triangular shape. Become. For this reason, a gap is formed between the close contact portion 22e and the overhang portion 4b, and the lid 6 can be attached to and detached from the container body 4.

一方、空間8aを減圧しない場合には、図8(b)に示すように、内側突出部22cと外側突出部22dが下方に移動して空間8aが略四角形状になる。このため、蓋6を容器本体4に載せた状態でシール材18を収縮形状から復元形状にしたのであれば、密着部22eが張出部4bと密着し、容器本体4内が蓋6によって密閉される。   On the other hand, when the space 8a is not decompressed, as shown in FIG. 8B, the inner projecting portion 22c and the outer projecting portion 22d move downward so that the space 8a has a substantially rectangular shape. For this reason, if the sealing material 18 is changed from the contracted shape to the restored shape while the lid 6 is placed on the container body 4, the close contact portion 22 e comes into close contact with the overhang portion 4 b and the inside of the container main body 4 is sealed by the lid 6. Is done.

このように、シール材18が屈伸部としての内側突出部22cと外側突出部22dとを備えることで、外側突出部22dは、収縮する際には凹部22b近傍を中心に内側に向けて回動し、減圧路6b側に引き寄せられる。また、外側突出部22dは、復元する際には凹部22b近傍を中心に外側に向けて回動し、減圧路6bから離間する。   Thus, when the sealing material 18 includes the inner projecting portion 22c and the outer projecting portion 22d as bending and extending portions, the outer projecting portion 22d rotates inwardly around the recess 22b when contracting. Then, it is drawn toward the decompression path 6b. Further, when the outer projecting portion 22d is restored, the outer projecting portion 22d rotates outwardly around the vicinity of the concave portion 22b and is separated from the decompression path 6b.

そして、シール材18は、収縮した状態から復元すると同時に凹部22b内に張出部4bを収容し、且つ密着部22eが張出部4bに密着することで張出部4bを把持するように構成されている。かかる構成により、シール材18の復元によりシール材18と容器本体4とが強固に密着し、容器2の気密性を向上させることができる。また、シール材18の復元時に、外側突出部22dの回動により凹部22bが斜め上方から張出部4bに接近して張出部4bをくわえ込む態様となり、張出部4bを把持しやすくなっている。   The sealing material 18 is configured to be restored from the contracted state and at the same time accommodate the overhanging portion 4b in the recess 22b, and hold the overhanging portion 4b by the close contact portion 22e being in close contact with the overhanging portion 4b. Has been. With this configuration, the sealing material 18 and the container body 4 are firmly adhered by the restoration of the sealing material 18, and the airtightness of the container 2 can be improved. Further, when the seal member 18 is restored, the recess 22b approaches the overhanging portion 4b obliquely from above by the rotation of the outer protruding portion 22d so that the overhanging portion 4b is held, and the overhanging portion 4b is easily gripped. ing.

また、図9に示すように、第1シール部20と第2シール部が分割されておらず一体であってもよい。このシール材18´は、シール材18と類似した断面形状を有しているが、第1シール部20に代えて、断面略矩形状の矩形部24を備え、矩形部24の下端部に切欠き部24aを備えている。また、内側突出部22cの矩形部24側には、切欠き部24aに係合することで空間8aを閉ざす係合部22fを備えている。このシール材18´は、図10(a)、(b)に示すように、矩形部24の形状に対応した断面コの字形状の保持部6a´に設置されてもよい。   Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, the 1st seal | sticker part 20 and the 2nd seal | sticker part may not be divided | segmented, and may be integral. The sealing material 18 ′ has a cross-sectional shape similar to that of the sealing material 18, but includes a rectangular portion 24 having a substantially rectangular cross section instead of the first sealing portion 20, and is cut at a lower end portion of the rectangular portion 24. A notch 24a is provided. Further, an engagement portion 22f that closes the space 8a by being engaged with the notch portion 24a is provided on the rectangular portion 24 side of the inner protruding portion 22c. As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the sealing material 18 ′ may be installed in a holding portion 6 a ′ having a U-shaped cross section corresponding to the shape of the rectangular portion 24.

また、上述の実施の形態の開閉構造において、シール材8が容器本体4側に装着されていてもよい。たとえば、図11に示すように、蓋6´の外周縁に下方に張り出した断面略円形状の張出部6xを形成する。一方、容器本体4の開口4aの外側に大きく張り出した張出部4xを形成し、張出部4xのさらに外側に上方に向けて延出すると共に容器本体4の径方向外方に向けて屈曲し、円環状のシール材8を保持する保持部4yを形成する。この場合、保持部4yは、シール材18´を下端側が支持するので、シール材8が脱落しないように確実に保持することができる。   Further, in the opening / closing structure of the above-described embodiment, the sealing material 8 may be mounted on the container body 4 side. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a projecting portion 6x having a substantially circular cross section projecting downward is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the lid 6 '. On the other hand, an overhanging portion 4x that protrudes greatly to the outside of the opening 4a of the container body 4 is formed, extends upward further to the outside of the overhanging portion 4x, and bends outward in the radial direction of the container body 4 And the holding | maintenance part 4y holding the annular | circular shaped sealing material 8 is formed. In this case, since the lower end side supports the sealing material 18 ′, the holding portion 4y can reliably hold the sealing material 8 so that the sealing material 8 does not fall off.

また、上述の実施の形態において、シール材8が蓋6と容器本体4の何れの側にも装着されていなくてもよい。たとえば、図12に示すように、蓋6´と容器本体4の間にシール材8を挟むようにしてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the sealing material 8 may not be attached to either the lid 6 or the container body 4. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, a sealing material 8 may be sandwiched between the lid 6 ′ and the container body 4.

また、上述の実施の形態においては、蓋が開閉部材として容器本体4に取付けられる場合を例に説明しているが、必ずしも蓋が開閉部材でなくてもよい。たとえば、図13に示すように、蓋に代えて漏斗26を容器本体4に取付けてもよい。この場合、口径の大きい側の開口の外周にシール材8を保持する保持部6aが形成される。   Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the case where a lid | cover is attached to the container main body 4 as an opening / closing member was demonstrated to the example, a lid | cover does not necessarily need to be an opening / closing member. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, a funnel 26 may be attached to the container body 4 instead of the lid. In this case, a holding portion 6a for holding the sealing material 8 is formed on the outer periphery of the opening having the larger diameter.

上述の実施の形態において、蓋6は、開閉ロボット10によって開閉される場合について説明したがこれに限定されるものではない。たとえば、蓋6は、作業者によって手作業で開閉されてもよい。この場合、減圧部10cとして所定の減圧(吸引)手段に接続されたホースのノズルが減圧部10cであってもよい。そして、該減圧部10cを減圧路6bに手動で接続し、シール材8内の流体を吸引してシール材8を収縮させてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the case where the lid 6 is opened and closed by the opening and closing robot 10 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lid 6 may be manually opened and closed by an operator. In this case, the nozzle of the hose connected to a predetermined decompression (suction) means as the decompression unit 10c may be the decompression unit 10c. Then, the pressure reducing part 10c may be manually connected to the pressure reducing path 6b, and the sealing material 8 may be contracted by sucking the fluid in the sealing material 8.

上述の実施の形態において、シール材8は蓋6を閉じた際に容器本体4の外周面に沿って配置される場合について説明したがこれに限定されるものではない。シール材8は、蓋6を閉じた際に容器本体4の内周面に沿って配置されてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the case where the sealing material 8 is disposed along the outer peripheral surface of the container body 4 when the lid 6 is closed has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The sealing material 8 may be disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the container body 4 when the lid 6 is closed.

上述の実施の形態において、シール材8は、内周部が屈伸する場合について説明したがこれに限定されるものではない。シール材8は、例えばシール材8が容器本体4の内周面に沿って配置さる場合(即ち、内嵌合の場合)には、外周部が屈伸するように構成されていてもよい。この場合、内周部が屈伸する場合と同様、張出部4bとシール材8との間に隙間を確実に形成することができる。また、シール材8は、内周部及び外周部の双方が屈伸するように構成されていてもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the sealing material 8 has been described with respect to the case where the inner peripheral portion bends and stretches, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the sealing material 8 is disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the container body 4 (that is, in the case of internal fitting), the outer peripheral portion may be configured to bend and stretch. In this case, as in the case where the inner peripheral portion bends and stretches, a gap can be reliably formed between the protruding portion 4b and the sealing material 8. Moreover, the sealing material 8 may be comprised so that both an inner peripheral part and an outer peripheral part may bend and stretch.
