Description

本発明は、貯留物を貯留するバッグ本体に、貯留物を吐出するための吐出部材を備えた貯留用バッグの製造方法及び貯留用バッグの製造装置に関する。
The present invention, the bag body for storing retentate, apparatus for manufacturing preparation and storage bags of savings Tomeyo bag having a discharge member for discharging the retentate.

流動食や輸液剤等を貯留した貯留用バッグは、例えば、柔軟な樹脂シートにより構成され貯留物を貯留するバッグ本体と、バッグ本体に溶着されて患者に至るチューブが接続され、このチューブに貯留物を吐出する硬質な吐出部材とを備える。 A storage bag that stores liquid foods, infusions, etc. is, for example, a bag body that is made of a flexible resin sheet and that stores a stored body, and a tube that is welded to the bag body and leads to a patient is connected, and stored in this tube. And a hard ejection member for ejecting an object.

この場合、吐出部材は、貯留物の漏れがないように、樹脂シートに強固に溶着される必要がある。そのため、例えば、特許文献1に開示の吐出部材は、樹脂シートに溶着される被溶着部を略舟型状に形成している。これにより、突出部材の被溶着部は、樹脂シートのシール方向に沿って広い溶着範囲を持ち、樹脂シートに強固に溶着される。 In this case, the discharge member needs to be firmly welded to the resin sheet so that the stored material does not leak. Therefore, for example, in the discharge member disclosed in Patent Document 1, the welded portion welded to the resin sheet is formed in a substantially boat shape. As a result, the welded portion of the protruding member has a wide welding range along the sealing direction of the resin sheet and is firmly welded to the resin sheet.

実開平1−144037号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-144037

ところで、上記のように略舟型状の被溶着部を有する吐出部材は、樹脂シートとの熱シール(溶着)時に、被溶着部の長軸方向に突出した端部において熱が逃げ難い。そのため、被溶着部の端部付近が、長軸方向中央部に比べて簡単に溶融してしまい、溶け出た被溶着部の樹脂が貯留空間で硬化して溶融バリを形成する。この溶融バリは、貯留用バッグの使用時に外力がかかる等の要因により樹脂シートを破断させるおそれがある。また例えば、溶融バリは、貯留用バッグの使用時にバッグ本体の内圧が上昇して被溶着部付近の樹脂シートが広がることで、樹脂シートから剥がれてピンホール等を発生させるおそれがある。 By the way, in the discharge member having the substantially boat-shaped welded portion as described above, during heat sealing (welding) with the resin sheet, it is difficult for heat to escape at the end portion of the welded portion protruding in the long axis direction. Therefore, the vicinity of the end of the welded portion melts more easily than the central portion in the longitudinal direction, and the melted resin of the welded portion hardens in the storage space to form a molten burr. The molten burr may break the resin sheet due to factors such as external force being applied when the storage bag is used. Further, for example, the molten burr may be peeled off from the resin sheet to cause a pinhole or the like when the internal pressure of the bag body rises and the resin sheet near the welded portion spreads when the storage bag is used.

本発明は、上記の課題を解決するためになされたものであって、吐出部材の溶融バリを抑制することで、樹脂シートと吐出部材の溶着状態を良好に保ち得る貯留用バッグの製造方法及び貯留用バッグの製造装置を提供することを目的とする。

以下、本発明に係る貯留用バッグを製造する製造方法及び製造装置について好適な実施形態を挙げ、添付の図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
Hereinafter, like the preferred embodiment for a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing the engagement Ru savings Tomeyo bag to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

本発明の一実施形態に係る貯留用バッグ10は、図1に示すように、樹脂シート16を袋状に成形して構成され、その内部に流動食や輸液剤(栄養剤、薬剤等)の貯留物を貯留した状態で提供される。例えば、固形物を飲み込むことが困難な患者に対しては、図示しないチューブ組立体のチューブを胃の中に挿入する一方で、体外に露出したチューブの端部に貯留用バッグ10を接続して流動経路を構築することで、貯留物である流動食を体内に供給する。 As shown in FIG. 1, a storage bag 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by molding a resin sheet 16 into a bag shape, and a liquid food and an infusion agent (nutrient agent, drug, etc.) are stored therein. It is provided in the state where the stored material is stored. For example, for a patient who has difficulty swallowing solids, the tube of a tube assembly (not shown) is inserted into the stomach, while the storage bag 10 is connected to the end of the tube exposed outside the body. By constructing a flow path, the liquid food that is a reservoir is supplied to the body.

貯留用バッグ10は、貯留物を貯留する貯留空間12aを有するバッグ本体12と、バッグ本体12に溶着されるスパウト14(吐出部材)とを備える。このスパウト14は、貯留空間12aに貯留される貯留物を貯留用バッグ10の外部に流出させる。また、スパウト14は、バッグ本体12よりも硬質に形成されることで、流動経路の構築時に、チューブ組立体との接続を容易化させる。 The storage bag 10 includes a bag main body 12 having a storage space 12a for storing a storage product, and a spout 14 (discharging member) welded to the bag main body 12. The spout 14 causes the stored material stored in the storage space 12 a to flow out of the storage bag 10. Further, since the spout 14 is formed to be harder than the bag body 12, the spout 14 facilitates connection with the tube assembly when the flow path is constructed.

バッグ本体12は、例えば、正面視で長方形状に形成される。このバッグ本体12は、後述する製造装置60により、柔軟性を有する1枚以上の樹脂シート16が重ねられて、所定部位(上下左右の4辺)が熱シール及び切断されることで製袋される。これにより、バッグ本体12は、4つの熱シール部18(トップシール部20、ボトムシール部22、一対のサイドシール部24)を有する。 The bag body 12 is, for example, formed in a rectangular shape in a front view. This bag body 12 is made into a bag by stacking one or more flexible resin sheets 16 and heat-sealing and cutting predetermined parts (upper, lower, left, and right sides) by a manufacturing apparatus 60 described later. It As a result, the bag body 12 has the four heat seal portions 18 (the top seal portion 20, the bottom seal portion 22, and the pair of side seal portions 24).

バッグ本体12の内部、すなわち熱シール部18の内側には、貯留物を所定量収容可能な容積を有する上記の貯留空間12aが形成されている。例えば、貯留物として流動食を貯留する貯留用バッグ10は、100g〜600g程度の容積の貯留空間12aを有する。勿論、貯留空間12aの容積は、貯留物の種類や用途に応じて適宜設計されてよい。また、バッグ本体12は、ボトムシール部22側やサイドシール部24側に容積を確保するためのマチ(底面部や側面部)が設けられていてもよい。 Inside the bag body 12, that is, inside the heat seal portion 18, the above-mentioned storage space 12a having a volume capable of accommodating a predetermined amount of stored matter is formed. For example, the storage bag 10 that stores liquid food as a storage has a storage space 12a having a volume of about 100 g to 600 g. Of course, the volume of the storage space 12a may be appropriately designed according to the type and use of the storage. Further, the bag body 12 may be provided with a gusset (bottom surface portion or side surface portion) for securing a volume on the bottom seal portion 22 side or the side seal portion 24 side.

バッグ本体12の樹脂シート16を構成する材料は、貯留物を良好に真空パックし得る樹脂材料が選択されることが好ましい。この種の樹脂材料は、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリスチレン、AS樹脂、ABS樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリアミド、ポリカーボネート、ポリアセタール等の熱可塑性樹脂があげられる。或いは、樹脂シート16は、異なる樹脂材料を複合してシート状に形成したものや、複数の樹脂材料のシートを積層したものを適用してもよい。 As a material forming the resin sheet 16 of the bag body 12, it is preferable to select a resin material capable of vacuum-packing the stored material well. The resin material of this type is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, AS resin, ABS resin, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polycarbonate, and polyacetal. Alternatively, the resin sheet 16 may be formed by combining different resin materials into a sheet shape or by laminating a plurality of resin material sheets.

一方、貯留用バッグ10のスパウト14は、バッグ本体12のトップシール部20の形成時に熱シールされることで、樹脂シート16に溶着されバッグ本体12に一体化する。スパウト14を構成する材料は、上述したようにバッグ本体12よりも硬質な樹脂材料が適用されることが好ましい。この種の樹脂材料は、特に限定されるものではなく、例えば、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリスチレン、AS樹脂、ABS樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリアミド、ポリカーボネート、ポリアセタール等の熱可塑性樹脂を適用するとよい。或いは、スパウト14は、複数の樹脂材料を混合することで、所望の硬質性を得てもよい。 On the other hand, the spout 14 of the storage bag 10 is heat-sealed when the top seal portion 20 of the bag body 12 is formed, and thus is welded to the resin sheet 16 and integrated with the bag body 12. As a material forming the spout 14, as described above, it is preferable to use a resin material that is harder than the bag body 12. This type of resin material is not particularly limited, and for example, a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, AS resin, ABS resin, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyacetal may be applied. .. Alternatively, the spout 14 may obtain desired hardness by mixing a plurality of resin materials.

このスパウト14は、図2Aに示すように、チューブ組立体が装着される突出部26と、バッグ本体12に取り付けられる被溶着部28とを有する。突出部26及び被溶着部28の中心部には、スパウト14の上下方向(軸方向)に沿って、貯留物の吐出路30が貫通形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2A, the spout 14 has a protruding portion 26 to which the tube assembly is mounted and a welded portion 28 to be attached to the bag body 12. A discharge passage 30 for the stored material is formed through the central portions of the protruding portion 26 and the welded portion 28 along the vertical direction (axial direction) of the spout 14.

突出部26は、チューブ組立体が装着される先端ノズル部32と、先端ノズル部32の基端に連なる雄ネジ部34とを有する。雄ネジ部34は、図示しない雌ネジ部を有するチューブ組立体の端子がねじ込まれる部位であり、貯留用バッグ10及びチューブ組立体の規格によっては設けられなくてもよい。 The projecting portion 26 has a tip nozzle portion 32 to which the tube assembly is attached, and a male screw portion 34 that is continuous with the base end of the tip nozzle portion 32. The male screw portion 34 is a portion into which a terminal of a tube assembly having a female screw portion (not shown) is screwed, and may not be provided depending on the standards of the storage bag 10 and the tube assembly.

先端ノズル部32は、軸心部に吐出路30を有する円筒状に形成され、その先端部に貯留物を吐出する吐出口32aを有する。また、先端ノズル部32の外形は、雄ネジ部34側から先端に向かって緩やかに先細りとなるテーパ状に形成されている。この先端ノズル部32には、貯留用バッグ10の使用前に、吐出口32aを閉塞して貯留物の吐出を遮断するキャップ36が取り付けられる(図1参照)。 The tip nozzle portion 32 is formed in a cylindrical shape having the discharge passage 30 in the axial center portion, and has a discharge port 32a for discharging the stored matter at the tip portion thereof. Further, the outer shape of the tip nozzle portion 32 is formed in a taper shape that gradually tapers from the male screw portion 34 side toward the tip. Before the storage bag 10 is used, a cap 36 is attached to the tip nozzle portion 32 to close the discharge port 32a and block the discharge of the storage (see FIG. 1).

雄ネジ部34は、先端ノズル部32と被溶着部28の間に設けられ、被溶着部28の先端面から短く突出している。この雄ネジ部34は、先端ノズル部32に比べて太径の円筒状に形成され、その外周面には周方向に巻回したネジ山34aが設けられている。 The male screw portion 34 is provided between the tip nozzle portion 32 and the welded portion 28, and shortly projects from the tip end surface of the welded portion 28. The male screw portion 34 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter larger than that of the tip nozzle portion 32, and a screw thread 34a wound in the circumferential direction is provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof.

また、スパウト14の被溶着部28は、平面視(吐出口32aを臨む矢視)で、トップシール部20の延在方向に沿って長軸を有し、延在方向と直交する方向に短軸を有する略菱形状に形成されている。被溶着部28は、トップシール部20の方向に沿って長いことで、広い範囲にわたって樹脂シート16に溶着され得る部位となっている。また、被溶着部28は、側面視で、スパウト14の軸方向に充分な厚みを有しており、全体的な外観として略舟型状を呈している。 In addition, the welded portion 28 of the spout 14 has a major axis along the extending direction of the top seal portion 20 and has a short axis in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction in plan view (as viewed from the direction of the ejection port 32a). It is formed in a substantially rhombic shape having an axis. The welded portion 28 is a portion that can be welded to the resin sheet 16 over a wide range by being long in the direction of the top seal portion 20. Further, the welded portion 28 has a sufficient thickness in the axial direction of the spout 14 in a side view, and has a substantially boat shape as an overall appearance.

被溶着部28は、軸方向に延びる筒状部38と、筒状部38の外周面に連結されると共に筒状部38の周囲で格子状に形成された舟型本体40とを有する。また、舟型本体40の先端側(雄ネジ部34側)には、雄ネジ部34の基端に連なり、舟型本体40よりも僅かに大きな菱形状の天板42が設けられている。 The welded portion 28 has a tubular portion 38 extending in the axial direction, and a boat-shaped main body 40 connected to the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 38 and formed in a lattice around the tubular portion 38. Further, a diamond-shaped top plate 42, which is continuous with the base end of the male screw portion 34 and is slightly larger than the boat-shaped body 40, is provided on the tip side (the male screw portion 34 side) of the boat type body 40.

筒状部38は、雄ネジ部34の外径と同一の外径を有する円筒状に形成され、その内部に貯留物の吐出路30が貫通形成されている。そして、筒状部38の基端(スパウト14の基端面)には、貯留空間12aの貯留物を吐出路30に流入させる流入口38aが設けられている。 The tubular portion 38 is formed into a cylindrical shape having the same outer diameter as the outer diameter of the male screw portion 34, and the discharge passage 30 for the stored substance is formed therethrough. An inlet port 38 a is provided at the base end of the tubular portion 38 (the base end surface of the spout 14) to allow the stored matter in the storage space 12 a to flow into the discharge passage 30.

天板42は、突出部26の軸方向と直交する方向に延びており、バッグ本体12と突出部26の境界を構成している。この天板42は、長軸方向及び短軸方向の角部がR状に形成され、また短軸方向に対し長軸方向が比較的長いことで、トップシール部20の延在方向に沿って扁平な菱形状を呈している。天板42の長軸側(図2A中の左右両側)の端部は、舟型本体40の長軸方向の両端部40a、40bに一致する一方、天板42の外縁及び短軸側(図2A中の紙面手前及び紙面奥方向)の端部は、舟型本体40よりも若干突出している。この天板42の突出部分の基端面には樹脂シート16が溶着される。 The top plate 42 extends in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the protrusion 26, and forms a boundary between the bag body 12 and the protrusion 26. The top plate 42 has corner portions in the major axis direction and the minor axis direction formed in an R shape, and the major axis direction is relatively long with respect to the minor axis direction, so that the top seal portion 20 extends along the extending direction. It has a flat diamond shape. The ends of the top plate 42 on the major axis side (both left and right in FIG. 2A) coincide with both ends 40a, 40b of the boat main body 40 in the major axis direction, while the outer edge and the minor axis side of the top plate 42 (see FIG. The ends of 2A in the front and the rear of the paper surface are slightly projected from the boat main body 40. The resin sheet 16 is welded to the base end surface of the protruding portion of the top plate 42.

舟型本体40は、複数の突片44が三次元的に骨組みされた部位であり、この突片44の突出端44aと樹脂シート16が溶着されることで、バッグ本体12とスパウト14の溶着がなされる。各突片44の突出端44aは、舟型本体40の外観を構成し、且つ各突片44同士の間には、隙間46が形成されている。 The boat-shaped main body 40 is a region in which a plurality of projecting pieces 44 are three-dimensionally framed, and by welding the projecting end 44 a of the projecting piece 44 and the resin sheet 16, the bag body 12 and the spout 14 are welded. Is done. The protruding end 44 a of each protruding piece 44 constitutes the outer appearance of the boat-shaped main body 40, and a gap 46 is formed between each protruding piece 44.

具体的に、複数の突片44は、筒状部38の外周面から天板42に対し平行に延びると共に、筒状部38の軸方向に平行に延びることで、舟型本体40全体を格子状としている。なお、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40bは、筒状部38から長軸方向に長く延びる一対の対角突片48、48により構成される。一方、隙間46は、隣接する突片44の間の熱伝達率を低減して、突出端44aの溶融を促進する。バッグ本体12の樹脂シート16は、隙間46を除いた舟型本体40の外側部(すなわち、各突片44の突出端44a)に熱シールされることで、強固に溶着される。 Specifically, the plurality of protrusions 44 extend parallel to the top plate 42 from the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion 38, and extend parallel to the axial direction of the tubular portion 38, so that the boat-shaped main body 40 is entirely latticed. It is in a state. Both ends 40a, 40b of the boat-shaped main body 40 are composed of a pair of diagonal protrusions 48, 48 extending in a long axis direction from the tubular portion 38. On the other hand, the gap 46 reduces the heat transfer coefficient between the adjacent protrusions 44 and promotes melting of the protruding end 44a. The resin sheet 16 of the bag main body 12 is heat-sealed to the outer portion of the boat main body 40 (that is, the protruding end 44a of each protruding piece 44) excluding the gap 46, and thus is firmly welded.

また、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40bには、一対の羽根52、52が各々外側に向かって突出形成されている。一対の羽根52、52は、薄板状に形成され、一対の対角突片48、48の両端部に連なっている。各羽根52は、樹脂シート16の熱シール時における溶着熱により溶融して、舟型本体40の長軸方向の両端付近の樹脂シート16のシール力を高める。 Further, a pair of blades 52, 52 are formed on both ends 40a, 40b of the boat main body 40 so as to project outward. The pair of blades 52, 52 are formed in a thin plate shape, and are connected to both ends of the pair of diagonal projection pieces 48, 48. Each blade 52 is melted by the heat of fusion when the resin sheet 16 is heat-sealed, and enhances the sealing force of the resin sheet 16 near both ends in the long axis direction of the boat main body 40.

そして、トップシール部20は、図2Bに示すように、重なった樹脂シート16の間に被溶着部28が溶着された吐出部材シール部54と、樹脂シート16同士のみが溶着されたシートシール部56とを有するように形成される。さらに、吐出部材シール部54は、樹脂シート16との間で熱シールが1度だけなされる第1溶着部54aと、熱シールが2度なされる第2溶着部54bとを有する。具体的には、第1溶着部54aは、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40b及び両端部40a、40b付近で上下方向(筒状部38の軸方向)に沿って設けられ、第2溶着部54bは、第1溶着部54aの形成範囲以外(舟型本体40の長軸方向中央部)に設けられる。 As shown in FIG. 2B, the top seal portion 20 includes a discharge member seal portion 54 in which the welded portion 28 is welded between the overlapping resin sheets 16 and a sheet seal portion in which only the resin sheets 16 are welded to each other. And 56. Further, the discharge member sealing portion 54 has a first welding portion 54a that is heat-sealed with the resin sheet 16 only once, and a second welding portion 54b that is heat-sealed twice. Specifically, the first welded portion 54a is provided in the vertical direction (axial direction of the tubular portion 38) near both ends 40a, 40b and both ends 40a, 40b of the boat main body 40, and the second welded portion 54a is provided. The portion 54b is provided outside the formation range of the first welded portion 54a (the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the boat main body 40).

ここで、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40b(角部)付近は、舟型本体40の中でも薄肉に形成されており、後記の一対のヒータブロックに挟まれると熱が逃げ難いため、舟型本体40の長軸方向中央部に比べて溶融し易い。そのため、仮に熱シールが2度行われると、構成する樹脂材料が容易に溶融して、溶融バリを多量に生じさせる。 Here, the vicinity of both ends 40a, 40b (corners) of the boat-shaped main body 40 is formed to be thin among the boat-shaped main body 40, and heat is difficult to escape when sandwiched between a pair of heater blocks described later. It is easier to melt than the central portion of the mold body 40 in the long axis direction. Therefore, if heat sealing is performed twice, the resin material that constitutes it is easily melted, and a large amount of molten burr is generated.

これに対し、本実施形態の舟型本体40の両端部40a、40bは、第1溶着部54aの形成箇所であり、溶着が1度行われるだけなので、その溶融度合が抑えられて樹脂シート16に溶着される。これにより、熱シール時に、被溶着部28の両端部40a、40b(特に、貯留空間12a側の角部)の溶融が抑制され、溶融バリが大幅に少なくなる又は殆どなくなる。 On the other hand, both end portions 40a and 40b of the boat-shaped main body 40 of the present embodiment are the locations where the first welded portion 54a is formed, and since the welding is performed only once, the degree of melting is suppressed and the resin sheet 16 is prevented. Is welded to. As a result, during heat sealing, melting of both ends 40a, 40b of the welded part 28 (particularly, the corners on the side of the storage space 12a) is suppressed, and melting burrs are significantly reduced or almost eliminated.

また、シートシール部56も、樹脂シート16同士が1度だけ熱シールされる第1溶着部56aと、樹脂シート16同士が2度熱シールされる第2溶着部56bとを有する。第1溶着部56aは、スパウト14(被溶着部28)の両端部40a、40bに各々隣接する端部近位領域に設けられると共に、第2溶着部56bを挟んでトップシール部20の延在方向両端部まで延設される。すなわち、第1溶着部56aは、シートシール部56のうち第2溶着部54b以外の大部分に設けられる。 The sheet seal portion 56 also has a first welded portion 56a where the resin sheets 16 are heat-sealed only once, and a second welded portion 56b where the resin sheets 16 are heat-sealed twice. The first welded portion 56a is provided in an end proximal region adjacent to both ends 40a, 40b of the spout 14 (the welded portion 28), and the top seal portion 20 extends with the second welded portion 56b interposed therebetween. It is extended to both ends in the direction. That is, the first welded portion 56a is provided on most of the seat seal portion 56 except the second welded portion 54b.

一方、第2溶着部56bは、端部近位領域に隣接する隣接領域に設けられ、スパウト14から所定間隔離れた位置に形成される。この第2溶着部56bは、トップシール部20の延在方向に沿って比較的短い範囲に形成されている。 On the other hand, the second welded portion 56b is provided in an adjacent region adjacent to the end proximal region and is formed at a position separated from the spout 14 by a predetermined distance. The second welded portion 56b is formed in a relatively short range along the extending direction of the top seal portion 20.

本実施形態に係るバッグ本体12及びスパウト14は、基本的には以上のように構成される。なお、スパウト14(被溶着部28)の構成は上記に限定されないことは勿論である。例えば、被溶着部28は、上述した突片44を備えない、滑らかな外周面に形成されていてもよい。また例えば、被溶着部28の外形は、図3A〜図3Cに示す第1〜第3構成例の略舟型状であってもよい。 The bag body 12 and the spout 14 according to this embodiment are basically configured as described above. Needless to say, the structure of the spout 14 (welded portion 28) is not limited to the above. For example, the welded portion 28 may be formed on a smooth outer peripheral surface that does not include the protruding piece 44 described above. Further, for example, the outer shape of the welded portion 28 may be a substantially boat shape of the first to third configuration examples illustrated in FIGS. 3A to 3C.

具体的に、第1構成例に係る被溶着部28Aは、図3Aに示す平面視で、被溶着部28の長軸方向の長さが短軸方向の長さよりも若干だけ長い(正方形に近い)菱形状に形成されている。このように本明細書では、トップシール部20の延在方向に沿った長さが短くても、舟型状に当てはまるものとする。 Specifically, in the welded portion 28A according to the first configuration example, in the plan view shown in FIG. 3A, the length of the welded portion 28 in the major axis direction is slightly longer than the length in the minor axis direction (close to a square). ) It is formed in a diamond shape. As described above, in the present specification, even if the length of the top seal portion 20 along the extending direction is short, the top seal portion 20 is applied in a boat shape.

また、第2構成例に係る被溶着部28Bは、図3Bに示す平面視で、六角状に形成されてトップシール部20の延在方向に沿って扁平に形成されている。このように本明細書では、多角形状に形成されていても舟型状に当てはまるものとする。 Further, the welded portion 28B according to the second configuration example is formed in a hexagonal shape and is flat along the extending direction of the top seal portion 20 in the plan view shown in FIG. 3B. As described above, in the present specification, a boat shape is applied even if the polygonal shape is formed.

さらに、第3構成例に係る被溶着部28Cは、図3Cに示す平面視で、中心部が円形状で左右方向に一対の翼状部58、58が突出した形状となっている。翼状部58は、突出方向に向かって幅狭となるテーパ状に形成されているとよい。このように本明細書では、翼状部58が設けられたものでも舟型状に当てはまるものとする。 Further, the welded portion 28C according to the third configuration example has a circular center portion and a pair of blade-shaped portions 58, 58 protruding in the left-right direction in a plan view shown in FIG. 3C. The wing-shaped portion 58 is preferably formed in a tapered shape that narrows in the protruding direction. As described above, in the present specification, a ship provided with the wing-shaped portion 58 is also applicable in a boat shape.

次に図4を参照して、本実施形態に係る貯留用バッグ10の製造装置60及び製造方法について説明する。貯留用バッグ10は、樹脂シート16を成形しながら貯留物を充填する製造装置60(所謂、縦型製袋充填包装機)を使用して製造される。この製造装置60は、シート供給部62、シート搬送部64、ヒータ部66及び充填部68を備える。 Next, with reference to FIG. 4, a manufacturing apparatus 60 and a manufacturing method for the storage bag 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. The storage bag 10 is manufactured using a manufacturing apparatus 60 (a so-called vertical bag-making filling and packaging machine) that fills the stored material while molding the resin sheet 16. The manufacturing apparatus 60 includes a sheet supply unit 62, a sheet conveyance unit 64, a heater unit 66, and a filling unit 68.

製造装置60のシート供給部62は、図示しない回転モータにより回転自在な支持軸62aを有し、この支持軸62aには、樹脂シート16を巻きつけたロール70がセットされる。樹脂シート16が巻かれるロール70の幅は、成形される貯留用バッグ10の長辺(サイドシール部24)の長さの2倍以上となっている。シート供給部62は、支持軸62aを回転して、1枚の連続する樹脂シート16をロール70から送出して下流側に供給する。 The sheet supply unit 62 of the manufacturing apparatus 60 has a support shaft 62a rotatable by a rotation motor (not shown), and the roll 70 around which the resin sheet 16 is wound is set on the support shaft 62a. The width of the roll 70 around which the resin sheet 16 is wound is at least twice the length of the long side (side seal portion 24) of the storage bag 10 to be molded. The sheet supply unit 62 rotates the support shaft 62a to feed one continuous resin sheet 16 from the roll 70 and feed the resin sheet 16 to the downstream side.

製造装置60のシート搬送部64は、複数の従動ローラ64a及び一対の送りローラ64b、64bにより樹脂シート16の搬送経路を構成し、連続する樹脂シート16を間欠的に搬送する。従動ローラ64aは、例えば、折り畳み前の樹脂シート16に皺等が生じないように、テンションをかける。一対の送りローラ64b、64bは、トップヒータ78及びボトムヒータ80の下方(下流)側に設けられ、樹脂シート16を挟み込んだ状態で図示しない駆動源により回転することで樹脂シート16を下方に送出する。この一対の送りローラ64b、64bは、1回の間欠駆動により、貯留用バッグ10の短辺(トップシール部20、ボトムシール部22)に応じた長さで樹脂シート16を送り出す。 The sheet conveying unit 64 of the manufacturing apparatus 60 constitutes a conveying path for the resin sheet 16 by the plurality of driven rollers 64a and the pair of feed rollers 64b, 64b, and conveys the continuous resin sheet 16 intermittently. The driven roller 64a applies, for example, tension so that the resin sheet 16 before folding is not wrinkled. The pair of feed rollers 64b, 64b are provided on the lower side (downstream) of the top heater 78 and the bottom heater 80, and the resin sheet 16 is delivered downward by being rotated by a drive source (not shown) while sandwiching the resin sheet 16. .. The pair of feed rollers 64b, 64b feed the resin sheet 16 in a length corresponding to the short sides (top seal portion 20, bottom seal portion 22) of the storage bag 10 by one intermittent drive.

また、シート搬送部64は、樹脂シート16の搬送経路上に印刷部72及び折り畳み機構部74を備える。印刷部72は、搬送中の樹脂シート16に貯留用バッグ10の印刷を行う。折り畳み機構部74は、樹脂シート16を上部から下部に向かって搬送する製袋ラインの上流位置に設けられる。この折り畳み機構部74は、樹脂シート16を一方面が対向するように折り畳むことで、1枚の樹脂シート16を2重にする。 Further, the sheet conveying unit 64 includes a printing unit 72 and a folding mechanism unit 74 on the conveying path of the resin sheet 16. The printing unit 72 prints the storage bag 10 on the resin sheet 16 being conveyed. The folding mechanism unit 74 is provided at an upstream position of the bag making line that conveys the resin sheet 16 from the upper portion to the lower portion. The folding mechanism section 74 folds the resin sheets 16 so that one surfaces thereof face each other, thereby making one resin sheet 16 double.

製造装置60のヒータ部66は、部材ヒータ76(第1ヒータ部)、トップヒータ78(第2ヒータ部)、ボトムヒータ80及びサイドヒータ82を有する。部材ヒータ76は、2重に折り畳まれた樹脂シート16とスパウト14とを熱シールする第1シール工程を実施する。トップヒータ78は、スパウト14と樹脂シート16が熱シールされた部分、及び樹脂シート16同士をまとめて熱シールする第2シール工程を実施することで、トップシール部20を形成する。すなわち、貯留用バッグ10のトップシール部20は、部材ヒータ76とトップヒータ78により、上述した第1溶着部54a、56a及び第2溶着部54b、56bを有するようになる。 The heater unit 66 of the manufacturing apparatus 60 includes a member heater 76 (first heater unit), a top heater 78 (second heater unit), a bottom heater 80, and a side heater 82. The member heater 76 performs the first sealing step of heat-sealing the double-folded resin sheet 16 and the spout 14. The top heater 78 forms the top seal portion 20 by performing a second sealing step in which the spout 14 and the resin sheet 16 are heat sealed and the resin sheets 16 are heat sealed together. That is, the top seal portion 20 of the storage bag 10 has the above-described first welded portions 54a and 56a and second welded portions 54b and 56b by the member heater 76 and the top heater 78.

詳細には、部材ヒータ76は、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84(一対の金型)により構成される。一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84は、樹脂シート16の搬送時に互いに離間した位置にあり、樹脂シート16の搬送停止時に互いに近接して2枚重なる樹脂シート16を挟み込む。また、部材ヒータ76は、図示しない供給装置を有し、別途成形された複数のスパウト14を搬送して、折り畳み機構部74で2枚の樹脂シート16の間に所定タイミング毎に1個ずつ供給する。一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84は、2枚の樹脂シート16とその間にスパウト14を挟んで熱シールを行うことで、樹脂シート16にスパウト14を取り付ける。 Specifically, the member heater 76 is composed of a pair of member heater blocks 84, 84 (a pair of molds). The pair of member heater blocks 84, 84 are located apart from each other when the resin sheet 16 is conveyed, and sandwich the two overlapping resin sheets 16 when the resin sheet 16 is stopped being conveyed. Further, the member heater 76 has a supply device (not shown), conveys a plurality of separately formed spouts 14, and supplies one by one at a predetermined timing between the two resin sheets 16 by the folding mechanism section 74. To do. The pair of member heater blocks 84, 84 attaches the spout 14 to the resin sheet 16 by sandwiching the spout 14 between the two resin sheets 16 and performing heat sealing.

図5に示すように、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84は、その上下方向がスパウト14の長軸方向の長さよりも多少長く形成され、上下方向と直交する幅方向にスパウト14の舟型本体40の厚みに応じた幅を有するブロック体に形成されている。そして、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84の各対向面85は、上端部から下端部に向かって、上側突出面85a、上側非加熱面85b、部材加熱面85c、下側非加熱面85d及び下側突出面85eを有している。 As shown in FIG. 5, the pair of member heater blocks 84, 84 are formed such that the vertical direction thereof is slightly longer than the length of the spout 14 in the long axis direction, and the boat-shaped main body of the spout 14 extends in the width direction orthogonal to the vertical direction. It is formed in a block body having a width corresponding to the thickness of 40. The facing surfaces 85 of the pair of member heater blocks 84, 84 face upward from the upper end portion to the lower end portion. The upper projecting surface 85a, the upper non-heating surface 85b, the member heating surface 85c, the lower non-heating surface 85d, and the lower surface. It has a side projecting surface 85e.

上側突出面85a及び下側突出面85eは、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84の上端部及び下端部に連なる位置に設けられ、上側非加熱面85b、部材加熱面85c及び下側非加熱面85dよりも他方の部材ヒータブロック側に突出している。上側突出面85aと下側突出面85eは、上下方向(樹脂シート16の搬送方向)に互いに平行な平坦面に形成されている。この上側突出面85aと下側突出面85eは、部材ヒータ76の閉塞時に、重なり合った樹脂シート16を挟んで熱シールするシート加熱部となっている。これにより、部材シール時における樹脂シート16同士の剥がれが防止される。 The upper projecting surface 85a and the lower projecting surface 85e are provided at positions that are continuous with the upper end and the lower end of the pair of member heater blocks 84, 84, and the upper non-heating surface 85b, the member heating surface 85c, and the lower non-heating surface 85d. Than the other member heater block. The upper projecting surface 85a and the lower projecting surface 85e are formed as flat surfaces that are parallel to each other in the vertical direction (the transport direction of the resin sheet 16). The upper projecting surface 85a and the lower projecting surface 85e serve as a sheet heating unit that sandwiches the overlapping resin sheets 16 and performs heat sealing when the member heater 76 is closed. This prevents the resin sheets 16 from being separated from each other when the members are sealed.

上側非加熱面85b及び下側非加熱面85dは、上側突出面85a及び下側突出面85eに対し段差85fを介して連なり、上下方向に互いに平行な平坦面に形成されている。この上側非加熱面85b及び下側非加熱面85dは、部材ヒータ76の閉塞状態で、隣接する上側突出面85a、部材加熱面85c及び下側突出面85eの形状に基づき、樹脂シート16や舟型本体40を挟み込まない(樹脂シート16に非接触となる)非加熱部となっている。そのため、部材ヒータ76のシール時でも、上側非加熱面85b及び下側非加熱面85dと対向する部分は熱シールがなされない。この上側非加熱面85b及び下側非加熱面85dの上下方向の形成範囲は、例えば、3〜10mm程度に設定するとよく、本実施形態では5mmに設定するとよい。 The upper non-heating surface 85b and the lower non-heating surface 85d are continuous with the upper projecting surface 85a and the lower projecting surface 85e via a step 85f, and are formed as flat surfaces parallel to each other in the vertical direction. The upper non-heating surface 85b and the lower non-heating surface 85d are in the closed state of the member heater 76, and based on the shapes of the adjacent upper projecting surface 85a, the member heating surface 85c, and the lower projecting surface 85e, the resin sheet 16 and the boat. It is a non-heating part that does not sandwich the mold body 40 (is not in contact with the resin sheet 16). Therefore, even when the member heater 76 is sealed, heat sealing is not performed on the portions facing the upper non-heating surface 85b and the lower non-heating surface 85d. The vertical forming range of the upper non-heating surface 85b and the lower non-heating surface 85d may be set to about 3 to 10 mm, for example, and may be set to 5 mm in the present embodiment.

一方、部材加熱面85cは、上側非加熱面85bと下側非加熱面85dの間に挟まれた上下方向中間部で、舟型本体40の長軸方向の側面形状に一致する3角形状(谷状)の窪みに形成されている。すなわち、部材加熱面85cは、舟型本体40の短軸側の外形に一致するように上下方向に対して所定角度傾斜している。また、部材加熱面85cの上下方向中央部は、舟型本体40の短軸側の丸角の角度に合った角度で湾曲している。これにより、部材加熱面85cは、スパウト14及び重なった樹脂シート16同士を一体的に挟み込んで熱シールする加熱部となっている。さらに、部材加熱面85cと上側非加熱面85bの間、部材加熱面85cと下側非加熱面85dの間は、滑らかな湾曲形状で互いに連なっている。 On the other hand, the member heating surface 85c is an intermediate portion in the vertical direction sandwiched between the upper non-heating surface 85b and the lower non-heating surface 85d, and has a triangular shape (corresponding to the side surface shape in the longitudinal direction of the boat main body 40). It is formed in a valley-shaped depression. That is, the member heating surface 85c is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical direction so as to match the outer shape of the boat main body 40 on the minor axis side. Further, the central portion in the vertical direction of the member heating surface 85c is curved at an angle that matches the rounded angle of the boat main body 40 on the minor axis side. As a result, the member heating surface 85c serves as a heating unit that sandwiches the spout 14 and the overlapping resin sheets 16 together to perform heat sealing. Furthermore, between the member heating surface 85c and the upper non-heating surface 85b, and between the member heating surface 85c and the lower non-heating surface 85d, there are continuous smooth curved shapes.

以上の対向面85を有する部材ヒータ76は、図6に示すように閉塞状態で、一対の上側突出面85a、85aと一対の下側突出面85e、85eとが、重なり合った樹脂シート16を外側から挟み込んで熱シールを行う。また、重なり合った樹脂シート16が舟型本体40を間に挟んだ状態で、その外側から一対の部材加熱面85c、85cが狭み込んで押圧することで、樹脂シート16とスパウト14の熱シールを行う。この熱シールにより、舟型本体40の突片44が溶融することで樹脂シート16との溶着がなされる。その一方で、一対の上側非加熱面85b、85bと一対の下側非加熱面85d、85dが、樹脂シート16及び舟型本体40を挟み込まないことで、その対向部分の熱シールを回避する。なお、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84は、上側突出面85a、部材加熱面85c及び下側突出面85eの近傍位置に、図示しないヒータ線を埋め込んでおくとよい。 As shown in FIG. 6, the member heater 76 having the above facing surface 85 is in a closed state, and the pair of upper projecting surfaces 85a and 85a and the pair of lower projecting surfaces 85e and 85e overlap the resin sheet 16 outside. Heat-seal by sandwiching from. Further, the heat seal between the resin sheet 16 and the spout 14 is achieved by pressing the pair of member heating surfaces 85c and 85c from the outside while the overlapping resin sheet 16 sandwiches the boat-shaped main body 40. I do. Due to this heat sealing, the projecting piece 44 of the boat-shaped main body 40 is melted and welded to the resin sheet 16. On the other hand, the pair of upper non-heating surfaces 85b, 85b and the pair of lower non-heating surfaces 85d, 85d do not sandwich the resin sheet 16 and the boat-shaped main body 40, thereby avoiding heat sealing of the opposing portions. The pair of member heater blocks 84, 84 may have a heater wire (not shown) embedded in the vicinity of the upper protruding surface 85a, the member heating surface 85c, and the lower protruding surface 85e.

また、トップヒータ78は、一対のトップヒータブロック88、88により構成され、部材ヒータ76よりも搬送方向下流側に間隔をあけて設置される。一対のトップヒータブロック88、88は、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84に連動して開閉し、樹脂シート16の搬送時に相互に離間し、樹脂シート16の搬送停止に伴い相互に近接して樹脂シート16及びスパウト14を挟み込む。 Further, the top heater 78 is composed of a pair of top heater blocks 88, 88, and is installed at a distance downstream of the member heater 76 in the transport direction. The pair of top heater blocks 88, 88 opens and closes in conjunction with the pair of member heater blocks 84, 84, is separated from each other when the resin sheet 16 is conveyed, and comes close to each other when the conveyance of the resin sheet 16 is stopped. The seat 16 and the spout 14 are sandwiched.

一対のトップヒータブロック88、88は、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84よりも上下方向に長く形成され、貯留用バッグ10のトップシール部20に対応する長さに構成されている。一対のトップヒータブロック88、88の幅は、舟型本体40の厚みにちょうど一致している。また、各トップヒータブロック88、88の対向面85の上下方向中間部には、舟型本体40の外形に一致する3角形状の溝が設けられている。すなわち、一対のトップヒータブロック88、88は、相互の近接状態で、重なり合った樹脂シート16同士、樹脂シート16とスパウト14間をまとめて熱シールする。以上の部材ヒータ76及びトップヒータ78により、貯留用バッグ10は、図2Bに示す第1及び第2溶着部54a、54b、56a、56bを有したトップシール部20が形成される。 The pair of top heater blocks 88, 88 is formed vertically longer than the pair of member heater blocks 84, 84, and has a length corresponding to the top seal portion 20 of the storage bag 10. The width of the pair of top heater blocks 88, 88 exactly matches the thickness of the boat main body 40. Triangular grooves that match the outer shape of the boat-shaped main body 40 are provided in the vertical middle portions of the facing surfaces 85 of the top heater blocks 88, 88. That is, the pair of top heater blocks 88, 88 are in a state of being close to each other and collectively heat-seal the overlapping resin sheets 16 and between the resin sheet 16 and the spout 14. By the member heater 76 and the top heater 78 described above, the storage bag 10 forms the top seal portion 20 having the first and second welded portions 54a, 54b, 56a, and 56b shown in FIG. 2B.

図4に戻り、ヒータ部66のボトムヒータ80は、一対のボトムヒータブロック90、90により構成され、トップヒータ78と同一の高さ位置に設置される。一対のボトムヒータブロック90、90も、樹脂シート16の搬送時に相互に離間し、樹脂シート16の搬送停止に伴い相互に近接して樹脂シート16挟み込むことで、ボトムシール部22(図1参照)を形成する。 Returning to FIG. 4, the bottom heater 80 of the heater unit 66 is composed of a pair of bottom heater blocks 90, 90, and is installed at the same height position as the top heater 78. The pair of bottom heater blocks 90, 90 are also separated from each other when the resin sheet 16 is conveyed, and when the resin sheet 16 stops being conveyed, the bottom heater blocks 90 and 90 are brought close to each other and sandwich the resin sheet 16, so that the bottom seal portion 22 (see FIG. 1). To form.

なお、ヒータ部66は、トップヒータ78の下方位置に、スパウト14との溶着部分を冷却する冷却部92を備えていてもよい。例えば、冷却部92は、熱伝達率が高い金属材からなる一対のブロック体により構成される。この冷却部92により、樹脂シート16とスパウト14が早期に冷却され、以降の成形において樹脂シート16とスパウト14の溶着状態の崩れをなくすことができる。 The heater section 66 may be provided with a cooling section 92 below the top heater 78 for cooling the welded portion with the spout 14. For example, the cooling unit 92 is composed of a pair of block bodies made of a metal material having a high heat transfer coefficient. The cooling portion 92 cools the resin sheet 16 and the spout 14 at an early stage, and it is possible to prevent the welded state of the resin sheet 16 and the spout 14 from collapsing in the subsequent molding.

サイドヒータ82は、一対のサイドヒータブロック94、94により構成され、製袋ライン(充填部68よりも下側)の最も下流位置に設置される。つまり、製造装置60は、サイドシール部24の形成後に、その上側位置で流動食の充填を行う構成となっている。一対のサイドヒータブロック94、94は、1度の熱シールで、サイドヒータ82の下側に搬送された貯留用バッグ10の第1サイドシール部24a(図1参照)と、サイドヒータ82の上側の貯留用バッグ10の第2サイドシール部24b(図1参照)とを形成する。サイドヒータ82の上側の貯留用バッグ10は、次の樹脂シート16の間欠移動によりサイドヒータ82の下側に移動し、次の熱シールにより第1サイドシール部24aが形成される。 The side heater 82 is composed of a pair of side heater blocks 94, 94, and is installed at the most downstream position of the bag manufacturing line (below the filling section 68). That is, the manufacturing apparatus 60 is configured to fill the liquid food at the upper position of the side seal portion 24 after the side seal portion 24 is formed. The pair of side heater blocks 94, 94 are heat-sealed once, and the first side seal portion 24a (see FIG. 1) of the storage bag 10 conveyed to the lower side of the side heater 82 and the upper side of the side heater 82. The second side seal portion 24b (see FIG. 1) of the storage bag 10 is formed. The storage bag 10 on the upper side of the side heater 82 moves to the lower side of the side heater 82 by the intermittent movement of the next resin sheet 16, and the first side seal portion 24a is formed by the next heat sealing.

また、一対のサイドヒータブロック94、94は、その対向面85の上下方向中間位置にカッター95を備える。カッター95は、サイドシール部24の形成後に、樹脂シート16に進出して第1サイドシール部24aと第2サイドシール部24bを切断する。第1サイドシール部24aが形成された下側の貯留用バッグ10は、カッター95により分断されることで、連続する樹脂シート16から切り離される。 Further, the pair of side heater blocks 94, 94 includes a cutter 95 at an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the facing surface 85. After forming the side seal portion 24, the cutter 95 advances into the resin sheet 16 and cuts the first side seal portion 24a and the second side seal portion 24b. The lower storage bag 10 on which the first side seal portion 24a is formed is separated by the cutter 95 from the continuous resin sheet 16.

一方、製造装置60の充填部68は、成形途中のバッグ本体12に対し貯留物を供給する機能を有する。この充填部68は、供給管96及び一対のしごきローラ98、98を備える。供給管96の上流側は、図示しない貯留物の供給タンクに接続される。供給管96は、折り畳まれる樹脂シート16の間に上部側から挿入され、下流端がしごきローラ98に重なる位置まで延びている。 On the other hand, the filling section 68 of the manufacturing apparatus 60 has a function of supplying a stored material to the bag body 12 in the middle of molding. The filling section 68 includes a supply pipe 96 and a pair of ironing rollers 98, 98. The upstream side of the supply pipe 96 is connected to a reservoir supply tank (not shown). The supply pipe 96 is inserted between the folded resin sheets 16 from the upper side, and extends to a position where the downstream end overlaps the ironing roller 98.

一対のしごきローラ98、98は、貯留物の充填時に、相互に近接移動して供給管96の下流端をしごくことで、供給管96の下流端に流動した貯留物を排出させ、さらに過剰な貯留物の充填を遮断する。そして、充填部68は、第1サイドシール部24aの形成後に、供給管96を介して貯留物を吐出し、第2サイドシール部24bがシールされる前の貯留空間12aに貯留物を充填する。 The pair of squeezing rollers 98, 98 move close to each other to squeeze the downstream end of the supply pipe 96 at the time of filling the stored product, thereby discharging the stored liquid that has flowed to the downstream end of the supply pipe 96, and further excess. Shut off filling of the reservoir. Then, the filling portion 68 discharges the stored material through the supply pipe 96 after the formation of the first side seal portion 24a, and fills the stored space 12a before the second side seal portion 24b is sealed with the stored material. ..

以上のように構成される製造装置60は、図示しない制御部により、上記のシート供給部62、シート搬送部64、ヒータ部66及び充填部68を連動して動作させることで、貯留用バッグ10を製造する。貯留用バッグ10は、貯留空間12aに貯留物が収容された状態で成形されると、製袋ラインから図示しないコンベア等に提供され、次の工程(例えば、検査工程や梱包工程等)に順次搬送される。 In the manufacturing apparatus 60 configured as described above, the control unit (not shown) causes the sheet supply unit 62, the sheet conveyance unit 64, the heater unit 66, and the filling unit 68 to operate in association with each other, thereby storing the storage bag 10 To manufacture. When the storage bag 10 is molded in a state where the storage space 12a stores the storage material, the storage bag 10 is provided to a conveyor or the like (not shown) from the bag manufacturing line, and is sequentially subjected to the next step (for example, an inspection step or a packing step). Be transported.

次に、従来の貯留用バッグ110のスパウト114の溶着構造と、本実施形態に係る貯留用バッグ10のスパウト14の溶着構造との相違について、その作用効果を含めて具体的に説明する。 Next, the difference between the welding structure of the spout 114 of the conventional storage bag 110 and the welding structure of the spout 14 of the storage bag 10 according to the present embodiment will be specifically described, including its function and effect.

図7Bに示すように、従来の貯留用バッグ110のトップシール部120は、スパウト114の被溶着部128に対して部材ヒータによる部材シール工程と、トップヒータによるトップシール工程とを2度実施する。そして、2度とも被溶着部128の外側部全面、及び被溶着部128の両端部140a、140bに隣接する樹脂シート16同士を熱シールしている。従って、トップシール部120には、被溶着部128と樹脂シート116とを2度溶着した箇所(吐出部材シール箇所154)が形成される。なお、トップシール部120の吐出部材シール箇所154以外は、トップヒータにより1度だけ溶着がなされたシートシール箇所156となる。 As shown in FIG. 7B, the top seal part 120 of the conventional storage bag 110 performs the member seal process by the member heater and the top seal process by the top heater twice on the welded part 128 of the spout 114. .. The resin sheets 16 adjacent to the entire outer surface of the welded portion 128 and both ends 140a and 140b of the welded portion 128 are heat-sealed both times. Therefore, the top seal portion 120 is formed with a portion where the welded portion 128 and the resin sheet 116 are welded twice (ejection member sealing portion 154). It should be noted that, except for the discharge member sealing portion 154 of the top seal portion 120, the sheet sealing portion 156 is welded only once by the top heater.

この場合、貯留用バッグ110は、製造時に、部材ヒータの熱シールの熱がぬけないタイミングで、次のトップヒータの熱シールにより熱が加えられることで、舟型本体140(被溶着部128)の長軸方向の両端部140a、140bが多量に溶融する。特に、舟型本体40の両端部140a、140bは、幅狭に形成されていることで、熱が逃げ難く溶融が促進される。 In this case, when the storage bag 110 is manufactured, heat is applied by the heat seal of the next top heater at a timing when the heat seal of the member heater does not escape, so that the boat-shaped main body 140 (welded portion 128). A large amount of both ends 140a and 140b in the long axis direction are melted. In particular, since both ends 140a and 140b of the boat main body 40 are formed to have a narrow width, heat is hard to escape and melting is promoted.

その結果、両端部140a、140bの貯留空間12a側の角部は、舟型本体40の肉(樹脂材料)が貯留空間12aに溶け出して硬化することで、舟型本体40から溶融バリ200を突出させる。この溶融バリ200は、その形成と同時に樹脂シート116に融着することがある。これにより、貯留用バッグ110の使用時等の外力により、溶融バリ200が被溶着部128から破断して分裂した場合に樹脂シート116も一緒に破断するおそれがある。また、使用時に内圧が上昇し、舟型本体140付近の樹脂シート116が広がった際に溶融バリ200から樹脂シート116が剥がれ、その際にピンホールが発生するおそれがある。さらに、硬化した溶融バリ200が樹脂シート16を直接破るおそれもある。 As a result, the flesh (resin material) of the boat main body 40 melts into the storage space 12a and hardens at the corners of the both ends 140a, 140b on the side of the storage space 12a. Make it stick out. The molten burr 200 may be fused to the resin sheet 116 at the same time as it is formed. As a result, when the molten burr 200 breaks from the welded portion 128 and splits due to an external force when the storage bag 110 is used, the resin sheet 116 may also break. Further, when the internal pressure rises during use and the resin sheet 116 near the boat-shaped main body 140 spreads, the resin sheet 116 may peel off from the molten burr 200, and pinholes may occur at that time. Further, the cured molten burr 200 may directly break the resin sheet 16.

これに対し、本実施形態に係る貯留用バッグ10は、図2B及び図7Aに示すように、トップシール部20に第1溶着部54aと第2溶着部54bを有する。そして、第1溶着部54a、56aが、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40b及び両端部40a、40bの周辺部に設けられることで、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40bに対する熱の影響が大幅に少なくなる。これにより両端部40a、40bの角部の溶融が回避されて、溶融バリ100の発生が抑制される。例えば、被溶着部28の両端部40a、40bに形成される溶融バリ100の体積は、ほぼ確実に4.4mm3以下となり、後述する実験結果によれば温度条件を変えたとしても、全て2.8mm3以下であった。 On the other hand, the storage bag 10 according to the present embodiment has the first welding portion 54a and the second welding portion 54b in the top seal portion 20, as shown in FIGS. 2B and 7A. The first welded portions 54a and 56a are provided at both ends 40a and 40b of the boat main body 40 and the peripheral portions of both ends 40a and 40b, so that the heat influences on the both ends 40a and 40b of the boat main body 40. Is significantly reduced. As a result, melting of the corners of both ends 40a, 40b is avoided, and the generation of molten burr 100 is suppressed. For example, the volume of the molten burr 100 formed on both end portions 40a and 40b of the welded portion 28 is almost certainly 4.4 mm 3 or less, and according to the experimental result described later, even if the temperature condition is changed, it is all 2 It was 0.8 mm 3 or less.

このように体積が4.4mm3以下の溶融バリ100であれば、樹脂シート16に融着する機会が低減されて、溶融バリ100による樹脂シート16の破断、ピンホールの発生等を抑止することができる。従って、貯留用バッグ10は、バッグ本体12の樹脂シート16とスパウト14の溶着状態を良好に保つことができる。また、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40b及び両端部40a、40b付近を第1溶着部54a、56aに形成する構成は、上述したように部材ヒータ76の金型(一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84)の改良により簡単に実現可能であり、製造コストを大幅に低減すると共に、製造の作業効率を向上させ得る。 In this way, if the volume of the molten burr 100 is 4.4 mm 3 or less, the chance of fusion bonding to the resin sheet 16 is reduced, and the fracture of the resin sheet 16 due to the molten burr 100, the occurrence of pinholes, etc. are suppressed. You can Therefore, in the storage bag 10, the resin sheet 16 of the bag body 12 and the spout 14 can be kept in a good welded state. Further, as described above, the configuration in which both ends 40a, 40b and the vicinity of both ends 40a, 40b of the boat-shaped main body 40 are formed in the first welded portions 54a, 56a is the mold of the member heater 76 (the pair of member heater blocks 84 , 84) can be easily realized, the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced, and the manufacturing work efficiency can be improved.

以上のように、貯留用バッグ10は、舟型本体40(被溶着部28)の両端部40a、40bに形成された溶融バリ100の体積が4.4mm3以下であることで、溶融バリ100によるバッグ本体12の損傷を抑制して、使用現場での取扱性を一層向上させることができる。すなわち、貯留用バッグ10は、溶融バリ100が発生しても4.4mm3以下の体積であれば、樹脂シート16との融着が抑えられて、溶融バリ100による樹脂シート16の損傷を大幅に減らすことができる。さらに、貯留用バッグ10は、溶融バリの体積が2.8mm3以下であれば、樹脂シート16に対する溶融バリの影響をより一層低減することができ、樹脂シート16とスパウト14の溶着状態を良好に保つことが可能となる。 As described above, in the storage bag 10, since the volume of the molten burr 100 formed on both ends 40a and 40b of the boat-shaped main body 40 (welded portion 28) is 4.4 mm 3 or less, the molten burr 100 It is possible to suppress damage to the bag body 12 due to the above and further improve the handleability at the site of use. That is, if the volume of the storage bag 10 is 4.4 mm 3 or less even if the molten burr 100 is generated, fusion with the resin sheet 16 is suppressed and damage to the resin sheet 16 due to the molten burr 100 is significantly reduced. Can be reduced to Furthermore, in the storage bag 10, if the volume of the molten burr is 2.8 mm 3 or less, the influence of the molten burr on the resin sheet 16 can be further reduced, and the welded state of the resin sheet 16 and the spout 14 is good. It is possible to keep

この場合、貯留用バッグ10は、少なくとも両端部40a、40bにおいて樹脂シート16に1度熱シールされた第1溶着部54aを有することで、比較的溶融し易い部分の溶融機会が少なくなるため、溶融バリ100の体積を大幅に減らすことができる。その一方で、貯留用バッグ10は、長軸方向中央部において樹脂シート16に2度熱シールされた第2溶着部54bを有するので、被溶着部28と樹脂シート16を確実に溶着することができる。 In this case, since the storage bag 10 has the first welded portion 54a that is heat-sealed once to the resin sheet 16 at least at both end portions 40a and 40b, there is less chance of melting in a portion that is relatively easily melted. The volume of the molten burr 100 can be significantly reduced. On the other hand, since the storage bag 10 has the second welded portion 54b that is heat-sealed twice with the resin sheet 16 at the central portion in the longitudinal direction, the welded portion 28 and the resin sheet 16 can be reliably welded. it can.

また、一対の部材ヒータブロック84、84が、被溶着部28の両端部40a、40bから離間した位置の樹脂シート16を熱シールすることで、第2シール工程後には、バッグ本体12のトップシール部20にも2度熱シールした第2溶着部56bが形成される。そのため、貯留用バッグ10は、スパウト14の近くで樹脂シート16を強固に溶着して、スパウト14の姿勢の崩れ等を抑制して安定的な熱シール状態で形成される。その一方で、両端部40a、40bの近くは、非加熱(第1溶着部56a)となるので、両端部40a、40bの溶融を防ぐことができる。 In addition, the pair of member heater blocks 84, 84 heat seals the resin sheet 16 at positions separated from the both ends 40a, 40b of the welded portion 28, so that the top seal of the bag body 12 is performed after the second sealing step. A second welded portion 56b that is heat-sealed twice is also formed on the portion 20. Therefore, the storage bag 10 is formed in a stable heat-sealed state by firmly welding the resin sheet 16 near the spout 14 and suppressing the posture of the spout 14 from collapsing. On the other hand, the vicinity of the both ends 40a, 40b is not heated (the first welded portion 56a), so that the both ends 40a, 40b can be prevented from melting.

本発明は、上記の実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において、種々の改変が可能なことは言うまでもない。 Needless to say, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

本実施形態に係る貯留用バッグ10について、本出願人は、スパウト14を溶着したトップシール部20の状態を確認するための実験を行った。その実験結果を図8A〜図10に示す。 With respect to the storage bag 10 according to the present embodiment, the applicant conducted an experiment for confirming the state of the top seal portion 20 having the spout 14 welded thereto. The experimental results are shown in FIGS. 8A to 10.

〔第1実施例〕
第1実施例では、図7Bに示す従来の貯留用バッグ110(以下、従来品という)に生じる溶融バリ200の状態と、図7Aに示す本実施形態に係る貯留用バッグ10(以下、改良品という)に生じる溶融バリ100の状態とを直接比較した。実験では、従来の製造装置により所定数の従来品を製造すると共に、製造装置60により所定数の改良品を製造した。この際の部材シール及びトップシールにおける熱シールの条件として、各ヒータブロックの温度をA℃、B℃、C℃、D℃、E℃にそれぞれ設定した(Aは150より大きな値であり、B=A+2、C=A+5、D=A+8、E=A+10である)。また、ヒータブロックによるシール時間(閉塞状態の時間)を1.5秒に統一し、さらにヒータブロックの閉塞状態における圧力も0.49MPa以上となるように設定した。
[First Embodiment]
In the first example, the state of the molten burr 200 generated in the conventional storage bag 110 (hereinafter referred to as a conventional product) shown in FIG. 7B and the storage bag 10 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 7A (hereinafter referred to as an improved product). It was directly compared with the state of the molten burr 100 that occurs in () In the experiment, a predetermined number of conventional products were manufactured by the conventional manufacturing apparatus, and a predetermined number of improved products were manufactured by the manufacturing apparatus 60. At this time, the temperature of each heater block was set to A° C., B° C., C° C., D° C., and E° C. as conditions for heat sealing in the member seal and the top seal (A is a value larger than 150, B =A+2, C=A+5, D=A+8, E=A+10). Further, the sealing time by the heater block (time in closed state) was unified to 1.5 seconds, and the pressure in the closed state of the heater block was set to 0.49 MPa or more.

そして、製造した試料(現行品、改良品)に生じている溶融バリ100、200の各寸法を計測すると共に、その体積を算出した。この寸法として、溶融バリ100、200の長さ(舟型本体40の長軸方向に沿った長さ)、溶融バリ100、200の高さ(筒状部38の軸方向に沿った長さ)、及び溶融バリ100、200の幅(舟型本体40の短軸方向に沿った長さ)をそれぞれ計器により計測した。また体積は、計測した各溶融バリ100、200の寸法から、簡易的な計算式(体積=(長さ×高さ×幅)/2)により算出した。 Then, the dimensions of the molten burrs 100 and 200 generated in the manufactured samples (current products and improved products) were measured, and their volumes were calculated. As the dimensions, the length of the molten burrs 100 and 200 (the length along the long axis direction of the boat main body 40), the height of the molten burrs 100 and 200 (the length along the axial direction of the tubular portion 38). , And the widths of the molten burrs 100 and 200 (the length along the minor axis direction of the boat main body 40) were measured with a measuring instrument. Further, the volume was calculated from the measured dimensions of each of the molten burrs 100 and 200 by a simple calculation formula (volume=(length×height×width)/2).

図8Aは、上記の実験において、舟型本体40の両端部40a、40bに生じた溶融バリ100、200の各寸法の平均値を棒グラフで示している。図8A中において、斜線のハッチを有する棒グラフが従来品であり、白抜きの棒グラフが改良品である。また、複数の試料における溶融バリ100、200の寸法のバラツキについて、細いバーで示している。つまり、バーが長ければバラツキが大きく、バーが短ければバラツキが小さいことになる。 FIG. 8A is a bar graph showing the average values of the dimensions of the molten burrs 100 and 200 generated at both ends 40a and 40b of the boat main body 40 in the above experiment. In FIG. 8A, the bar graph having hatched lines is the conventional product, and the white bar graph is the improved product. Further, the variation in the dimensions of the molten burrs 100 and 200 in a plurality of samples is indicated by a thin bar. That is, if the bar is long, the variation is large, and if the bar is short, the variation is small.

図8Aを参照すると、改良品の溶融バリ100のほうが、従来品の溶融バリ200よりもその寸法が全体的に短いことがわかる。従って、改良品のほうが、溶融バリ100の発生量が少ないとみなすことができる。また、従来品の溶融バリ200は、寸法のバラツキが大きいのに対し、改良品の溶融バリ100は、従来品よりも寸法のバラツキが小さい。よって、改良品は、溶融バリ100が小さく且つバラツキがあまりない製品状態で安定に製造されていることが確認できた。 With reference to FIG. 8A, it can be seen that the improved molten burr 100 is generally shorter in size than the conventional molten burr 200. Therefore, it can be considered that the improved product produces less molten burr 100. Further, the molten burr 200 of the conventional product has large dimensional variation, whereas the molten burr 100 of the improved product has smaller dimensional variation than the conventional product. Therefore, it was confirmed that the improved product was stably manufactured in a product state in which the molten burr 100 was small and showed little variation.

また、図8Bは、従来品の体積及び改良品の体積を算出したものを点グラフで示している。この図8Bを参照すると、改良品の溶融バリ100の体積のほうが、従来品の溶融バリ200の体積よりも小さく、さらに体積のバラツキも小さいことが分かる。例えば、従来品は、溶融バリ200の体積が4.5mm3以上となるものが幾つか発生し、3.0mm3以下の溶融バリを有するものは存在しなかった。その一方で、改良品は、溶融バリ100の体積が概ね2.8mm3以下でまとまっている。従って、改良品は、従来品に対し溶融バリ100が充分に小さい状態で製造されていることが確認できた。 Further, FIG. 8B shows, as a dot graph, the calculated volumes of the conventional product and the improved product. With reference to FIG. 8B, it can be seen that the volume of the molten burr 100 of the improved product is smaller than that of the molten burr 200 of the conventional product, and the variation in the volume is also small. For example, in the conventional products, some of the molten burrs 200 having a volume of 4.5 mm 3 or more were generated, and none of them had a molten burr of 3.0 mm 3 or less. On the other hand, in the improved product, the volume of the molten burr 100 is approximately 2.8 mm 3 or less and is collected. Therefore, it was confirmed that the improved product was manufactured with the molten burr 100 being sufficiently smaller than the conventional product.

〔第2実施例〕
第2実施例では、実施例1で製造した従来品及び改良品に関し、屈曲等の外力を加える屈曲操作を実際に行い、スパウト14の周辺部においてバッグ本体12に破断が生じるか否かを確認する実験を行った。具体的に、屈曲操作では、スパウト14の溶融バリ100、200の発生部付近を保持して、スパウト14に対してバッグ本体12をシール方向と直交する方向に90°に動かし、この動作を5回繰り返して貯留用バッグ10、110の状態を確認した。図9は、温度条件を変化させて製造した所定数(5個)の試料(従来品、改良品)に対し破断が生じた個数を表した表である。
[Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, regarding the conventional product and the improved product manufactured in the first embodiment, a bending operation for applying an external force such as bending is actually performed, and it is confirmed whether or not the bag body 12 is broken at the peripheral portion of the spout 14. The experiment was done. Specifically, in the bending operation, the vicinity of the melt burr 100, 200 generation portion of the spout 14 is held, and the bag body 12 is moved with respect to the spout 14 by 90° in a direction orthogonal to the sealing direction. The state of the storage bags 10 and 110 was confirmed by repeating the process. FIG. 9 is a table showing the number of fractures in a predetermined number (5) of samples (conventional product and improved product) manufactured under different temperature conditions.

図9を参照すると、従来品では、幾つかの貯留用バッグ110に破断が生じているのに対し、改良品では、温度条件を変えても、いずれの貯留用バッグ10にも破断が生じていないことが分かる。従って、改良品は、従来品と比較して、屈曲操作時の破れがなく、良好に使用することができると言い得る。また、図8Bに示す溶融バリ200の体積が4.8mm3以上の場合には、屈曲操作時にバッグ本体12に破断が生じることが多かった。逆に、図8Bに示す溶融バリが4.4mm3以下では、屈曲操作時にバッグ本体12に破断が生じることは殆どなかった。よって、溶融バリ100、200の体積の許容限界は、4.4mm3以下であることが求められ、より好ましくは2.8mm3以下であるとよい。改良品は、溶融バリ100の体積が2.8mm3以下であったために、バッグ本体12の破断が一つも生じないことを確認できた。 Referring to FIG. 9, in the conventional product, some storage bags 110 are broken, whereas in the improved product, any storage bag 10 is broken even if the temperature condition is changed. I know there isn't. Therefore, it can be said that the improved product has no breakage during bending operation and can be favorably used as compared with the conventional product. When the volume of the molten burr 200 shown in FIG. 8B is 4.8 mm 3 or more, the bag body 12 often breaks during the bending operation. On the contrary, when the molten burr shown in FIG. 8B was 4.4 mm 3 or less, the bag body 12 was hardly broken during the bending operation. Therefore, the allowable limit of the volume of molten burrs 100 and 200, it is required is 4.4 mm 3 or less, more preferably is 2.8 mm 3 or less. In the improved product, since the volume of the molten burr 100 was 2.8 mm 3 or less, it was confirmed that the bag body 12 did not break at all.

〔第3実施例〕
第3実施例では、実施例1で製造した従来品及び改良品に関し、バッグ本体12に圧力を加えて、バッグ本体12とスパウト14との間が破れる圧力を測定する破袋圧力を測定する実験を行った。図10は、温度条件を変化させて製造した試料(従来品、改良品)の破袋圧力の平均値を示す棒グラフである。なお、図10中において、複数の試料における破袋圧力のバラツキについては細いバーで示している。
[Third Embodiment]
In the third embodiment, an experiment for measuring the bag-breaking pressure for measuring the pressure at which the bag body 12 and the spout 14 are broken by applying pressure to the bag body 12 with respect to the conventional product and the improved product manufactured in the first embodiment. I went. FIG. 10 is a bar graph showing the average value of the bag breaking pressure of the samples (conventional product and improved product) manufactured under different temperature conditions. In FIG. 10, variations in bag breaking pressure among a plurality of samples are indicated by thin bars.

図10を参照すると、改良品の破袋圧力の平均値は、従来品の破袋圧力の平均値よりも若干大きかった(ただし、温度がD℃場合は、従来品のほうが大きかった)。実際の貯留用バッグ10の使用においては、この破袋圧力について有意差はないものと考えられ、つまり改良品におけるバッグ本体12とスパウト14との溶着状態(溶着力)は、従来品と同程度となると言い得る。 Referring to FIG. 10, the average value of the bag breaking pressure of the improved product was slightly larger than the average value of the bag breaking pressure of the conventional product (however, the conventional product was larger when the temperature was D° C.). In actual use of the storage bag 10, it is considered that there is no significant difference in the bag breaking pressure, that is, the welding state (welding force) between the bag body 12 and the spout 14 in the improved product is similar to that in the conventional product. It can be said that

また、図10を参照すると、改良品の破袋圧力は、従来品の破袋圧力よりもバラツキが少ないことが分かる。従って、製造装置60は、従来品に比べて、破袋圧力が充分に高いものを安定的に製造可能であることが確認できた。 Further, referring to FIG. 10, it is found that the bag breaking pressure of the improved product has less variation than the bag breaking pressure of the conventional product. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the manufacturing apparatus 60 can stably manufacture the one having a sufficiently high bag breaking pressure as compared with the conventional product.

また、従来品及び改良品に対して、他の実験を幾つか行ったとこところ、いずれも従来品と改良品で有為な差がなかった。他の実験としては、エージレスチェッカーを注入して3時間放置した際の液漏れがあるか否かを確認する気密性の実験、所定圧力で2時間加圧して液漏れがあるか否か確認する耐圧性の実験、及び熱シール部のシール強度の測定バッグがあげられる。 Also, some other experiments were conducted on the conventional product and the improved product, and there was no significant difference between the conventional product and the improved product. Other experiments include an air-tightness test to check if there is a liquid leak when an ageless checker is injected and left for 3 hours, and to check if there is a liquid leak by pressurizing at a predetermined pressure for 2 hours. An example is a pressure resistance experiment and a bag for measuring the seal strength of the heat seal part.
