Abstract

PURPOSE: To provide a seal device which prevents the connection strength from decreasing in the seal part. CONSTITUTION: A seal device is provided with a seal block 19, inductors 31, 32 buried in the seal block 19 so as to expose a part thereof on the surface, a dolly oppositely positioned to the inductors 31, 32, holding a packaging material between the inductors, and a high frequency voltage application means for the inductors. The inductors 31, 32 are provided with protrusions 71, 72 longitudinally protruded toward the dolly and grooves formed parallelly to the protrusions at both sides thereof. The resin of the packaging material oppositely positioned is molten and even if it is pressed by the protrusions 71, 72, a base paper material and an aluminum foil are stretched and hence, a polyethylene resin is retained there.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, for example, in the case of manufacturing a brick type packaging container filled with liquid food such as milk and soft drink, it is composed of a flexible laminate in a packaging machine. A packaging container is manufactured by continuously making a web-shaped packaging material into a tube shape while filling the tube-shaped packaging material with a liquid food.

For this purpose, the web-shaped packaging material manufactured by the packaging material manufacturing machine is set in a reel state on the packaging machine, and is fed by the feeding machine to be conveyed inside the packaging machine and sealed in the longitudinal direction to form a tubular shape. To In this case, the packaging material has a laminated structure composed of a paper base material, a film coated on both sides of the paper base material, and an aluminum foil disposed between the paper base material and the film, if necessary.

Then, while the tubular packaging material is conveyed downward, the liquid food is supplied from above to fill the packaging material. Next, the packaging material is sandwiched from both sides and laterally sealed at predetermined intervals to form a prototype container having a pillow shape, a bag shape, or the like. Subsequently, the seal portion extending in the lateral direction is cut, each prototype container is formed into a predetermined shape along a fold line formed in advance, and a plurality of packaging containers for storing a certain amount of liquid food are completed. ing.

A first groove 73 is formed inside the convex portion 71, and a second groove 75 is formed outside the convex portion 71. Further, the inductor 31 has a cooling medium passage 90, and the temperature of the inductor 31 can be adjusted by passing a cooling medium through the cooling medium passage 90. When the high frequency voltage generated by the high frequency voltage conversion circuit 85 (FIG. 8) is applied to the inductor 31, an electric field that changes corresponding to the high frequency voltage is generated between the inductor 31 and an aluminum foil (not shown). The magnetic flux is formed and flows through the area AR3. As a result, an eddy current is generated in the aluminum foil, and the eddy current loss causes the aluminum foil to generate heat.

Therefore, only the portion corresponding to the area AR3 contributes to heat fusion, and the area AR3 becomes the seal portion S. By the way, since the first groove 73 and the second groove 75 are formed, the polyethylene resin 56 facing each other of the packaging material 11 is melted, and even if the polyethylene resin 56 is pushed by the convex portion 71, the melted polyethylene resin 56 seals. Since it does not excessively flow out beyond the range of the portion S, it is possible to prevent the joint strength from decreasing. Therefore, although it is preferable to form the first groove 73 and the second groove 75 at both ends of the area AR3, they can be formed in any of the areas AR4 and AR5. In addition, 19 is a seal block.

The cutting rail 91 is a rubber dolly 93 extending along the cutting rail 91.
On the other hand, the seal block 19 has an inductor 31 arranged to face the dolly 93.
In the first step, as shown in FIG. 9, the packaging material 11 is placed between the seal block 19 and the cutting rail 91, and the cutting jaws 14a and 15a and the heat sealing jaws 14b and 15b are advanced to each other.

Next, in the second step, as shown in FIG. 10, when the cutting jaws 14a, 15a and the heat sealing jaws 14b, 15b are further advanced, the sealing portion of the packaging material 11 is made by the inductor 31 and the dolly 93. The S is strongly pressed and the seal portion S is deformed. Then, in the third step, the high frequency voltage from the high frequency voltage conversion circuit 85 (FIG. 8) is applied to the inductor 31 to heat the aluminum foil 55 by induction heating. As a result, a pair of aluminum foils 55
The pair of polyethylene resins 56 sandwiched by the two are heated, and as shown in FIG.

At this time, the polyethylene resin 56 facing each other is melted, and the melted polyethylene resin 56 is pushed by the convex portion 71 and tries to flow out beyond the range of the seal portion S, but the first groove The paper base material 54 and the aluminum foil 55 swell into the 73 and the second groove 75 to form a retention portion on the opposing surfaces of both packaging materials 11, and the polyethylene resin 56 retains in the retention portion. Therefore, the flow of the polyethylene resin 56 is blocked and does not flow out of the area of the seal portion S.

As a result, the amount of the polyethylene resin 56 that contributes to heat fusion can be secured in the seal portion S, so that it is possible to prevent the joint strength from decreasing. Further, the high-frequency voltage from the high-frequency voltage conversion circuit 85 is increased to increase the junction temperature, and the cylinder 2
Even if the pressure of the working medium supplied to 7 is increased to increase the force for sandwiching the packaging material 11, the bonding strength can be maintained. Therefore, the cycle of the sealing device can be shortened and high-speed processing can be performed.
