[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a pouring device for pouring liquid contents with high viscosity such as miso, cream and adhesive from a flexible bag-like container that is built in a bag-in-box or used alone. .

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, a composite paper container with a bag-in-box structure called a bag-in-box has a structure such as seasonings, alcoholic beverages, dairy products, food products such as beverages, and non-development liquids, detergents, dyes, etc. It has been widely used in food products. These composite paper containers range from large liters of 2 liters to 30 liters for business use to small to medium liters of 1 liter to 3 liters for general consumers.

[0003] In a large-capacity bag-in-box for business use according to the present invention, when pouring out a content having a relatively high viscosity or being hard to flow, at present, the content is obtained by a suction method using a pump. Is pouring out. To do this, first open the opening of the outer box of the bag-in-box, take out the spout of the built-in bag-shaped container, open the cap, and pour out with the suction hole as shown in Fig. 1. The insertion cylinder part of the connector was inserted into the spout, and the contents in the bag-like container were poured out by suction with a pump.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, as described above, when the insertion tube of the spout connector is inserted into the spout of the bag-shaped container and the high-viscosity content is poured out by suction with the pump, the content is sufficiently bag-shaped. When it is inside the container, the bag-shaped container is crushed at atmospheric pressure as much as the amount of the content is reduced, and the contents are somehow satisfactorily poured out, but as the content decreases, the crushed bag-shaped container Is sucked into the suction hole of the insertion tube of the dispensing connector, which hinders the pouring of contents, the contents remain attached to the inner surface of the bag-shaped container, or are crushed to form a bag-shaped container. The contents sometimes accumulated and remained in the wrinkles that were created. For example, when the total content is 10 kg, about 700 g or more of the content remains as the remaining amount. In particular, at low temperatures, the viscosity of the contents became high, making it difficult to pour. In food factories, the outer box may become dirty during product distribution, so for hygiene reasons, the outer box may not be brought to the site, but only the bag-shaped container may be brought to the site. Since there is no rigid outer box, it was sometimes difficult to pour out the contents from the flexible bag-shaped container. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem when pouring out high-viscosity contents, and it is possible to pour out high-viscosity contents from a flexible bag-shaped container with a small amount of residue, and also to dispense hygienically. It provides a method.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As shown in FIG. 1, the first aspect of the present invention hangs a flexible bag-shaped container (400) on a container holder (100) with a spout (410) facing downward, and a spout connector at the spout. A pouring device for pouring out the contents (500) by inserting the insertion tube portion (210) of the (200), which is a bag with an ironing jig (300) consisting of at least two rods or rollers (320). A contents dispensing device (10) for a bag-shaped container, which sandwiches the front and back of a container from the outside with a rod or a roller, and lowers the contents to pour out the remaining amount of the contents at the time of pouring. As shown in Fig. 5, the flexible bag-shaped container is hung from the container holder with the spout facing downwards, and the insertion cylinder of the spout connector is inserted into the spout to pour out the contents. The device is an ironing jig consisting of at least two rods or rollers, and is used to The contents of the bag-shaped container are pinched from the side with a rod or roller, and while pouring out the contents with the pouring nozzle, the ironing jig is lowered by the weight of the jig or forcedly to reduce the amount of contents remaining in the container. It is a contents pouring device.

The above-mentioned container holder is made of metal such as aluminum or stainless steel, plastic such as polyolefin or polyester resin, or a rigid single or composite material such as various kinds of wood.

Further, the spout connector is connected to the pump, and the insertion tube portion to be inserted into the container is provided with some suction holes (220).

The rod or roller of the ironing jig is made of a rigid material such as metal, plastic, or wood alone or in combination, like the container holder.

[0009]

[Action]

 Due to the high viscosity of the contents, the contents are likely to adhere to the inner surface of the bag-shaped container, especially the wrinkles, but from the outside of the front and back of the flexible bag-shaped container with a stick or roller of an ironing jig. Since it is sandwiched and lowered, the contents adhering to the inner surface of the container are scraped off downward and can be easily poured out by the pouring connector.

[0010]

【Example】

 Example 1 First, the container holder (100) according to this example shown in FIG. 4 was produced. This container holder is provided with notches (111) for hooking the container fixing hook of the filling machine on the left and right of the T-shaped upper part of the holder body (110) made by cutting or welding a stainless plate. In addition, a fixing jig (120) including a slide roller (121), a fixing rod (122), a fixing tool (123) and the like for suspending and fixing the flexible bag-shaped container with the pouring outlet facing downward is provided. It is welded and has a notch (131) and a spout receiving part (132) for fitting and fixing the spout of the container in the lower part of the L shape of the holder body. The container receiving hopper (130) and the pipe hanger (140) for supporting the pipe of the spout connector were welded together.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper and lower arm plates of the left and right support parts (310) are opened and closed in a V shape with the lower connection parts of the two stainless steel arm plates (311) as fulcrums. , Two opposing plastic rollers (320) are attached, and a spring (312) for adjusting the gap pressure of the roller and a stopper (313) for fixing the ironing jig to the outer surface of the container and an ironing jig The ironing jig (300) according to this example was manufactured by providing handles (314) and the like used when pushing down on the left and right sides of the support portion.

Next, the bag-shaped container (400) shown in FIG. 1 to be built in the bag-in-box was manufactured. This was to seal the four sides by heat fusion and to provide a spout on the body. In this example, a double-bag, 10-liter bag-shaped container made of a polyethylene film and a multilayer film of polyethylene / stretched nylon / polyethylene was prepared. Then, the bag-shaped container was filled with 10 kg of miso from the spout, and a cap was fitted into the spout to seal it.

In order to evaluate the bag-shaped container contents dispensing device manufactured in this example, a bag-shaped container filled with miso was inserted into the notch with the container holder lying down. Set the spout to the spout receptacle, place it on it, remove the cap of the spout, insert the insertion tube of the spout connector into the container, and then set the bottom of the bag-shaped container. After passing the rollers of the ironing jig to fix the bottom end to the fixing jig on the upper part of the back plate, the ironing jig was fixed to the lower part of the container with a stopper. Then, the container holder was raised, the notch in the upper part of the holder main body was hooked on the hook of the filling machine, and set in the filling machine. After pouring out the contents with the pouring connector and releasing the stopper of the ironing roller and lowering the ironing roller along the side of the container to the vicinity of the pouring connector by the handle, the contents adhered to the inner surface of the container The miso was removed and poured out with the connector for pouring, and the remaining amount in the container could be reduced. As a result, the remaining amount was slightly less than about 200 g (2% or less), which was effective in reducing the remaining amount to about 700 g (7%) or more when the ironing jig was not used.

Example 2 The same container holder and bag-shaped container as those manufactured in Example 1 were used. The ironing jig was obtained by putting a stainless steel mandrel into two plastic rollers to increase the total weight of the ironing jig. Other specifications were the same as those in Example 1. The weight of the ironing jig was 1.6 kg.

In order to evaluate the bag-shaped container contents pouring device produced in this example, the bag-shaped container filled with miso was spouted in the same manner as in Example 1 with the container holder lying down. Insert into the notch, set the spout to the spout receptacle, place it on it, remove the spout cap, insert the insertion connector insertion tube into the container, and then set the bag. After the bottom of the container is passed through the rollers of the ironing jig and the bottom end is fixed to the fixing jig on the upper part of the back plate, unlike the first embodiment, the container holder is raised with the stopper of the ironing jig being released. Then, the hook hooking notch on the upper part of the back plate was hooked on the hook of the filling machine and set in the filling machine. When the contents are poured out by the pouring connector, as shown in Fig. 5, the ironing jig moves along the side surface of the container as the miso of the contents is poured out by the pouring connector by its own weight. The ironing jig also descended close to the spout connector. As a result, the miso of the contents adhering to the inner surface of the container was scraped off, so the remaining amount in the container was small, and the remaining amount was about 200 g or less (2% or less).

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 When the contents pouring holder of the present invention is used, a connector for pouring contents from a flexible bag-shaped container built in the bag-in-box or used independently is relatively high in viscosity or hard to flow. Since the contents adhered to the inner surface of the container that cannot be poured out by the above-mentioned method are further removed by the ironing jig, the remaining amount of the poured-out can be significantly reduced. Also, due to hygiene issues, even if the outer box of the bag-in-box, which is dirty during product distribution, cannot be brought to the shop floor of the food factory, only the built-in bag-shaped container is used for the contents. Can be poured out.
