Description
本発明は、芳香剤や消臭剤、防虫剤などの薬剤を収容する薬剤容器に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a drug container for containing a drug such as an aromatic agent, a deodorant, and an insect repellent.
芳香剤や消臭剤、防虫剤（以下、薬剤と称する）は、部屋の空気を消臭したり香を付与したり、害虫を防虫したりする目的で使用される。このため、薬剤を収容した容器は、部屋の見えるところに設置されることが多い。よって、容器のデザインや色など美観を考慮する必要がある。 Aromatic agents, deodorants, and insect repellents (hereinafter referred to as chemicals) are used for the purpose of deodorizing the air in a room, imparting a scent, and controlling pests. For this reason, the container containing the drug is often installed in a visible part of the room. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the aesthetics such as the design and color of the container.
一方、薬剤を容器から吸い上げて空気中に拡散させるため、容器内に吸液芯を配置したものが知られている。このような吸液芯は、透明な容器の外から見えると見栄えが悪い。このため、吸液芯を見難くするため、容器の周壁に複数本の縞状模様を設けたものが知られている。 On the other hand, it is known that an absorbent core is arranged in the container in order to suck up the drug from the container and diffuse it into the air. Such a liquid-wicking core does not look good when viewed from the outside of a transparent container. Therefore, in order to make it difficult to see the liquid-wicking core, it is known that a plurality of striped patterns are provided on the peripheral wall of the container.
この種の薬剤容器として、容器のデザイン性を向上させるため、断面楕円形（正確に楕円形でないものも含む）の容器が使用されつつある。しかし、断面楕円形の容器は、楕円形の長軸と交差する比較的曲率の大きい周壁と比べて、楕円形の短軸と交差する比較的曲率の小さい周壁の凹みに対する強度が低い。このため、容器の内部が陰圧になった場合、短軸と交差する比較的曲率の小さい周壁が凹み、容器の美観が損なわれてしまう。 As this type of drug container, a container having an elliptical cross section (including one that is not exactly oval) is being used in order to improve the design of the container. However, the container having an elliptical cross section has a lower strength against the depression of the peripheral wall having a relatively small curvature intersecting the minor axis of the ellipse, as compared with the peripheral wall having a relatively large curvature intersecting the major axis of the ellipse. Therefore, when the inside of the container has a negative pressure, the peripheral wall having a relatively small curvature intersecting the minor axis is dented, and the aesthetic appearance of the container is impaired.
本発明は、上記の点に鑑みてなされたもので、内部が陰圧になった場合であっても凹み難い断面が略楕円形の薬剤容器を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a drug container having a substantially elliptical cross section that is difficult to be dented even when the inside has a negative pressure.
本発明の薬剤容器の一態様は、薬剤を収容するものであって、断面が略楕円形の筒状の周壁を有し、この周壁が、その断面における楕円形の長軸方向に対向する曲率の大きい一対の第１曲壁部分と、楕円形の短軸方向に対向する曲率の小さい一対の第２曲壁部分と、を周方向に連続したものであり、一対の第２曲壁部分だけに複数本の補強リブを設けた。 One aspect of the drug container of the present invention is for accommodating a drug, and has a cylindrical peripheral wall having a substantially elliptical cross section, and the peripheral wall has a curvature that opposes the elliptical major axis direction in the cross section. a pair of first curved wall portion large, and a small pair of second curved wall section curvature facing the direction of the minor axis of the ellipse, which is continuous in the circumferential direction, only a pair of second curved wall portion A plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the .
本発明の薬剤容器の一態様によれば、断面が略楕円形の筒状の周壁のうち、比較的曲率の小さい一対の第２曲壁部分に複数本の補強リブを設けることで、比較的曲率が大きく凹み強度の比較的高い一対の第１曲壁部分と同等の凹み強度を一対の第２曲壁部分に与えることができ、内部が陰圧になったときに容器全体として凹み難くすることができる。
According to one aspect of the drug container of the present invention, by providing a plurality of reinforcing ribs on the pair of second curved wall portions having a relatively small curvature among the cylindrical peripheral walls having a substantially elliptical cross section, a relatively large number of reinforcing ribs are provided. A dent strength equivalent to the pair of first curved wall portions having a large curvature and a relatively high dent strength can be given to the pair of second curved wall portions, making it difficult for the entire container to dent when the inside becomes negative pressure. be able to.
以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。

The cross-sectional shape of the body portion 2e does not have to be exactly an elliptical shape, and includes a flattened shape of a circle and the like.
首部２ｃのネジ２ｂは、図示しないキャップを螺合するために設けられている。ネジ２ｂの下側には、後述する放散器１００を取り付けるための環状凸部２ｉが設けられている。底部２ｆは、その中央部で交差する十字路を間に挟んで４つの隆起部２ｇを有する。各隆起部２ｇは、容器の内側に向けて底部２ｆを隆起させたものである。このように、４つの隆起部２ｇを設けることで、底部２ｆの中央に吸液芯６の下端６ａを位置決めする凹部２ｈが形成される。 The screw 2b of the neck portion 2c is provided for screwing a cap (not shown). On the lower side of the screw 2b, an annular convex portion 2i for attaching a later-described diffuser 100 is provided. The bottom portion 2f has four raised portions 2g with a cross road intersecting at the center portion therebetween. Each raised portion 2g is formed by raising the bottom portion 2f toward the inside of the container. In this way, by providing the four raised portions 2g, a recess 2h for positioning the lower end 6a of the liquid absorbent core 6 is formed in the center of the bottom 2f.
胴部２ｅは、楕円形の長軸と交差する比較的曲率の大きい２つの第１曲壁部分２１、２３と、楕円形の短軸と交差する比較的曲率の小さい２つの第２曲壁部分２２、２４と、を周方向に連続したものであり、比較的凹み強度の低い２つの第２曲壁部分２２、２４に複数本の補強リブ２５ａ、２５ｂ、２５ｃ（以下、総称して補強リブ２５とする場合もある）を備えている。第１曲壁部分２１、２３と第２曲壁部分２２、２４との間の境界は特に限定しないが、補強リブ２５によって補強する胴部２ｅの部分を第２曲壁部分２２、２４とし、補強の必要が無い部分を第１曲壁部分２１、２３とする。補強リブ２５については後に詳述する。 The body portion 2e includes two first curved wall portions 21 and 23 having a relatively large curvature intersecting the elliptical long axis and two second curved wall portions having a relatively small curvature intersecting the elliptical short axis. 22 and 24 are continuous in the circumferential direction, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 25a, 25b and 25c (hereinafter collectively referred to as reinforcing ribs) are provided on the two second curved wall portions 22 and 24 having relatively low dent strength. 25 in some cases). The boundary between the first curved wall portions 21 and 23 and the second curved wall portions 22 and 24 is not particularly limited, but the portion of the body 2e that is reinforced by the reinforcing ribs 25 is the second curved wall portions 22 and 24, The portions that do not require reinforcement are the first curved wall portions 21 and 23. The reinforcing rib 25 will be described later in detail.
中栓４は、首部２ｃの開口部２ａの縁を覆う円環状の上壁部４ａ、上壁部４ａの下面から垂設されて首部２ｃの内周面に嵌入される円筒状の筒部４ｂ、吸液芯６を挿通して保持する管部４ｃ、および管部４ｃの上端に向けて上壁部４ａの内周縁から収束したロート状の中間部４ｄを有する。中間部４ｄには、通気孔４ｅが設けられている。図１に示すように吸液芯６を保持した中栓４を容器本体２に取り付けた状態で、管部４ｃによって保持された吸液芯６の上端６ｂは、中栓４の上壁部４ａより上方に突出する。 The inner plug 4 has an annular upper wall portion 4a that covers the edge of the opening 2a of the neck portion 2c, and a cylindrical tubular portion 4b that is hung from the lower surface of the upper wall portion 4a and fitted into the inner peripheral surface of the neck portion 2c. It has a tube portion 4c that inserts and holds the liquid absorbent core 6, and a funnel-shaped intermediate portion 4d that converges from the inner peripheral edge of the upper wall portion 4a toward the upper end of the tube portion 4c. A ventilation hole 4e is provided in the intermediate portion 4d. As shown in FIG. 1, with the inner plug 4 holding the liquid absorbent core 6 attached to the container body 2, the upper end 6b of the liquid absorbent core 6 held by the tube portion 4c is the upper wall portion 4a of the inner plug 4. Project more upwards.
放散器１００は、容器本体２の胴部２ｅと略同じ断面が略楕円形の筒状のカバー部１０１、吸液芯６で吸い上げた薬剤を含浸させて揮散させる吸液揮散材１０２、および容器本体２の首部２ｃに設けた環状凸部２ｉに嵌合する円筒形の嵌合筒部１０３を有する。嵌合筒部１０３の上端１０３ａは、吸液揮散材１０２をカバー部１０１の内側で支持する支持部として機能する。 The dissipator 100 includes a cylindrical cover portion 101 having a substantially elliptical cross-section that is substantially the same as the body portion 2e of the container body 2, a liquid absorbing volatilizing material 102 that impregnates and vaporizes the chemical sucked up by the liquid absorbing core 6, and a container. It has a cylindrical fitting tubular portion 103 that fits into an annular convex portion 2i provided on the neck portion 2c of the main body 2. The upper end 103 a of the fitting tubular portion 103 functions as a support portion that supports the liquid absorbing and volatilizing material 102 inside the cover portion 101.
カバー部１０１は、容器本体２に取り付けられる筒状の下カバー１０１ｂに対して有底の上カバー１０１ａを上下動可能に取り付けた構造を有する。上カバー１０１ａの開閉構造については説明を省略する。上カバー１０１ａの筒状部分および上端底部、および下カバー１０１ｂの全体に、複数個の通気孔が設けられている。上カバー１０１ａを下カバー１０１ｂに対して開くと、吸液揮散材１０２が露出され、上カバー１０１ａを閉じた状態と比較して、薬剤の揮散量が増す。 The cover portion 101 has a structure in which a bottomed upper cover 101a is attached to a cylindrical lower cover 101b attached to the container body 2 so as to be vertically movable. The description of the opening/closing structure of the upper cover 101a is omitted. A plurality of ventilation holes are provided in the cylindrical portion and the upper end bottom portion of the upper cover 101a and the entire lower cover 101b. When the upper cover 101a is opened with respect to the lower cover 101b, the liquid absorbing and volatilizing material 102 is exposed, and the amount of volatilization of the medicine is increased as compared with the state where the upper cover 101a is closed.
吸液揮散材１０２は、放散器１００を容器本体２に取り付ける前の状態（図示せず）で嵌合筒部１０３の上端１０３ａ上に支持されている。そして、図１に示すように、キャップを取り外して放散器１００を取り付けた際に、吸液芯６の上端６ｂに接触して押し上げられ、嵌合筒部１０３の上端１０３ａから上方へ持ち上げられる。なお、吸液揮散材１０２は、吸液芯６とともに、薬剤に接触することで吸引可能な材料、例えば、パルプ、レーヨン、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンテフタレート（ＰＥＴ）などの１種または２種以上を混合したものにより形成されている。 The liquid absorbing and volatilizing material 102 is supported on the upper end 103 a of the fitting tubular portion 103 in a state (not shown) before the dissipator 100 is attached to the container body 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, when the cap is removed and the diffuser 100 is attached, the cap is brought into contact with the upper end 6b of the liquid absorbent core 6 and pushed up, and is lifted upward from the upper end 103a of the fitting tubular portion 103. The liquid absorbent volatilizing material 102, together with the liquid absorbent core 6, is a material that can be sucked by contact with a drug, for example, one or more of pulp, rayon, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and the like. It is formed by a mixture of.
嵌合筒部１０３は、複数枚（本実施形態では６枚）の放射状に設けた支持梁部１０４を介して外側の下カバー１０１ｂに固定されている。嵌合筒部１０３は、カバー部１０１を容器本体２に取り付けたときに、嵌合筒部１０３の下端１０３ｂがちょうど首部２ｃの環状凸部２ｉに嵌合する高さ位置に設けられている。 The fitting tubular portion 103 is fixed to the outer lower cover 101b via a plurality of (six in the present embodiment) radially provided support beam portions 104. The fitting tubular portion 103 is provided at a height position where the lower end 103b of the fitting tubular portion 103 is just fitted to the annular convex portion 2i of the neck portion 2c when the cover portion 101 is attached to the container body 2.
以下、容器本体２に設けた複数本の補強リブ２５の構造および機能について詳細に説明する。
容器本体２は、首部２ｃ、肩部２ｄ、胴部２ｅ、および底部２ｆを樹脂により一体成形したものである。本実施形態では、容器本体２をポリエチレンテフタレート（ＰＥＴ）により形成した。容器本体２の製造工程は、樹脂の射出成形によるプリフォームの製造工程と、プリフォームをブロー成形して容器本体２を製造する工程と、を含む。複数本の補強リブ２５は、ブロー成形時に形成されるものであり、成形型の内面形状に沿った形状で容器本体２の胴部２ｅに形成される。
Hereinafter, the structure and function of the plurality of reinforcing ribs 25 provided on the container body 2 will be described in detail.
The container body 2 is formed by integrally molding a neck portion 2c, a shoulder portion 2d, a body portion 2e, and a bottom portion 2f with resin. In this embodiment, the container body 2 is made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The manufacturing process of the container body 2 includes a process of manufacturing a preform by injection molding of resin and a process of manufacturing the container body 2 by blow molding the preform. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 25 are formed at the time of blow molding, and are formed on the body portion 2e of the container body 2 in a shape along the inner surface shape of the molding die.
本実施形態のように断面が略楕円形の胴部２ｅを有する容器本体２は、円筒形の容器と比べて、外圧に対する凹みに耐える機械強度（以下、凹み強度と称する）が低い部分を有する。つまり、本実施形態において、楕円形の長軸と交差する比較的曲率の大きい第１曲壁部分２１、２３に対し、楕円形の短軸と交差する比較的曲率の小さい第２曲壁部分２２、２４は、凹み強度が低い。このため、容器本体２内部が陰圧になった場合、凹み強度の低い第２曲壁部分２２、２４が第１曲壁部分２１、２３と比べて凹み易い。 The container body 2 having the body portion 2e having a substantially elliptical cross section as in the present embodiment has a portion having lower mechanical strength (hereinafter, referred to as dent strength) to withstand dents against external pressure, as compared with a cylindrical container. .. That is, in the present embodiment, the first curved wall portions 21 and 23 having a relatively large curvature intersecting the elliptical long axis and the second curved wall portions 22 having a relatively small curvature intersecting the short elliptical axis. , 24 have low dent strength. For this reason, when the inside of the container main body 2 has a negative pressure, the second curved wall portions 22 and 24, which have low dent strength, are more likely to be dented than the first curved wall portions 21 and 23.
よって、本実施形態では、この凹み易い第２曲壁部分２２、２４に複数本の補強リブ２５を設けた。また、一方で、比較的凹み強度の高い第１曲壁部分２１、２３には補強リブ２５を設けていない。このように、第２曲壁部分２２、２４だけに補強リブ２５を設けることで、容器全体として、凹み強度を均一化でき、内部が陰圧になった場合に凹み易い部分を無くすことができ、容器全体としての凹みの発生を抑制することができる。また、補強リブ２５を設けない第１曲壁部分２１、２３には、ブロー成形時に金型を分離する境界を割り当てることで、補強リブ２５に境界部分が位置することがなく見栄えを良くすることができる。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 25 are provided on the second curved wall portions 22 and 24 that are easily recessed. On the other hand, the reinforcing ribs 25 are not provided on the first curved wall portions 21 and 23, which have a relatively high recess strength. As described above, by providing the reinforcing ribs 25 only on the second curved wall portions 22 and 24, it is possible to make the recess strength uniform in the entire container and to eliminate the portion that is easily recessed when the inside becomes negative pressure. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of depressions in the entire container. In addition, by assigning boundaries for separating the molds during blow molding to the first curved wall portions 21 and 23 without the reinforcing ribs 25, it is possible to improve the appearance without the boundary portions being positioned on the reinforcing ribs 25. You can
また、本実施形態では、全ての補強リブ２５を容器本体２の中心軸Ｃに対して傾斜させることで、凹みに対する強度をより向上させている。また、本実施形態では、全ての補強リブ２５を中心軸Ｃに対して略同じ傾斜角度で傾斜させた。補強リブ２５の中心軸Ｃに対する傾斜角度は、補強リブ２５を設けた場合の胴部２ｅの強度に関係し、好ましくは５°〜２５°、より好ましくは１０°〜２０°である。補強リブ２５の傾斜角度をこの範囲内に設計することで、容器本体２の凹みに対する強度を向上させることができることに加え、放散器１００のカバー部１０１を容器本体２に取り付ける際に容器本体２に作用する荷重に対する座屈強度を向上させることができる。このため、本実施形態では、中心軸Ｃに対する補強リブ２５の傾斜角度を約１０°に設計した。 In addition, in the present embodiment, all the reinforcing ribs 25 are inclined with respect to the central axis C of the container body 2, so that the strength against the recess is further improved. Further, in the present embodiment, all the reinforcing ribs 25 are tilted with respect to the central axis C at substantially the same tilt angle. The inclination angle of the reinforcing rib 25 with respect to the central axis C is related to the strength of the body portion 2e when the reinforcing rib 25 is provided, and is preferably 5° to 25°, more preferably 10° to 20°. By designing the inclination angle of the reinforcing ribs 25 within this range, it is possible to improve the strength of the container body 2 with respect to the recess, and in addition, when the cover part 101 of the dissipator 100 is attached to the container body 2, It is possible to improve the buckling strength with respect to the load acting on. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the inclination angle of the reinforcing rib 25 with respect to the central axis C is designed to be about 10°.
また、本実施形態では、容器本体２の第２曲壁部分２２、２４に設けた全ての補強リブ２５を周方向に沿って同じ方向に傾斜させた。このため、製品出荷時に容器の向きを揃えて箱詰めする必要がなく、その分、作業性を高めることができ、製造コストを低減できる。また、本実施形態のように全ての補強リブ２５の向きを同じ向きに揃えると、図１の方向から容器本体２を見た場合、背面側の第２曲壁部分２４に設けた５本の補強リブ２５が正面側の第２曲壁部分２２に設けた５本の補強リブ２５と交差することになる。このように、正面の補強リブ２５と背面の補強リブ２５が交差することで、容器本体２の中心に配置した吸液芯６を見え難くすることができ、容器の美観を向上させることができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, all the reinforcing ribs 25 provided on the second curved wall portions 22 and 24 of the container body 2 are inclined in the same direction along the circumferential direction. For this reason, it is not necessary to align the containers in the same direction at the time of shipping the product, and thus the workability can be improved and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Further, when all the reinforcing ribs 25 are aligned in the same direction as in the present embodiment, when the container body 2 is viewed from the direction in FIG. 1, the five ribs provided on the second curved wall portion 24 on the back side are arranged. The reinforcing ribs 25 intersect with the five reinforcing ribs 25 provided on the second curved wall portion 22 on the front side. In this way, the front reinforcing ribs 25 and the rear reinforcing ribs 25 intersect so that the liquid absorbent core 6 arranged in the center of the container main body 2 can be made invisible and the aesthetics of the container can be improved. ..
特に、本実施形態では、各第２曲壁部分２２、２４に５本ずつ補強リブ２５を設けたため、容器本体２を正面（或いは裏面）から見た場合、中央の補強リブ２５ａが吸液芯６に必ず重なることになり、吸液芯６を見え難くする効果を期待できる。つまり、補強リブ２５は、各第２曲壁部分２２、２４それぞれに奇数本ずつ設けることが望ましい。この場合、補強リブ２５の本数を多くすれば凹み強度を増すことができるが、容器本体２の胴部２ｅの肉厚やサイズ、或いはデザイン性などを考慮して適切な本数の補強リブ２５を設けることが望ましい。 In particular, in the present embodiment, since five reinforcing ribs 25 are provided on each of the second curved wall portions 22 and 24, when the container main body 2 is viewed from the front (or the back), the central reinforcing rib 25a is the liquid absorption core. Since it always overlaps with 6, it is possible to expect an effect of making the absorbent core 6 difficult to see. That is, it is desirable that an odd number of reinforcing ribs 25 be provided on each of the second curved wall portions 22 and 24. In this case, the dent strength can be increased by increasing the number of the reinforcing ribs 25. However, an appropriate number of the reinforcing ribs 25 should be provided in consideration of the thickness and size of the body portion 2e of the container body 2 or the design. It is desirable to provide it.
さらに、本実施形態では、胴部２ｅの第２曲壁部分２２、２４の凹み強度を高めるため、隣接する２本の補強リブ２５の間にある複数の周壁２６の下端２６ａを容器の内側に湾曲させ、周壁２６自体に強度を持たせた。反面、容器本体２の内容量を確保するため、各周壁２６の上端２６ｂは内側に凹ませることなく直線状とした。このように、各周壁２６の上端２６ｂを直線状にすることで、図示しない外装フィルムを胴部２ｅに巻き付けた状態の薬剤容器１０に放散器１００を取り付ける際に、外装フィルムを破損することを防止することもできる。つまり、隣接する２本の補強リブ２５の間の周壁２６は、下端２６ａから上端２６ｂに向けて徐々に平らになる形状を有する。 Further, in the present embodiment, in order to increase the recess strength of the second curved wall portions 22 and 24 of the body portion 2e, the lower ends 26a of the plurality of peripheral walls 26 between the two adjacent reinforcing ribs 25 are placed inside the container. It is curved so that the peripheral wall 26 itself has strength. On the other hand, in order to secure the internal volume of the container body 2, the upper ends 26b of the peripheral walls 26 are linear without being recessed inward. In this way, by making the upper end 26b of each peripheral wall 26 linear, it is possible to prevent the exterior film from being damaged when the diffuser 100 is attached to the medicine container 10 in a state in which the exterior film (not shown) is wrapped around the body 2e. It can be prevented. That is, the peripheral wall 26 between the two adjacent reinforcing ribs 25 has a shape that gradually becomes flat from the lower end 26a to the upper end 26b.

Good. For example, the inclination angle of the reinforcing rib 25a provided at the center of the second curved wall portions 22 and 24 separated from the first curved wall portions 21 and 23 with respect to the central axis C is maximized, and then the outside of the reinforcing ribs 25a is The angle of inclination of the two reinforcing ribs 25b disposed adjacent to is increased, and the angle of inclination of the two reinforcing ribs 25c closest to the first curved wall portions 21 and 23 (requiring little reinforcement) is made the smallest. can do. In this way, by making the inclination angle different depending on the arrangement position of the reinforcing rib 25, it is possible to make the dent strength of the entire container more uniform and to provide a container that is resistant to dents.
さらに、上述した実施形態では、２つの第２曲壁部分２２、２４にだけ複数本の補強リブ２５を設けた場合について説明したが、これに限らず、第２曲壁部分２２、２４より少ない割合で（リブ同士の間隔を広くして）、例えば１本の補強リブ２５を第１曲壁部分２１、２３の少なくとも一方に設けてもよい。
