Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate such inconvenience that a sufficient pressure resistance strength has not been obtained when a collecting part of a cylindrical package formed of a film is sealed by only welding without using clips made of metal. SOLUTION: After a cylindrical body of a film F is filled with contents, the contents are partly removed, and a flat part Fr is formed by pinchingly pressing the cylindrical body from the side opposed to a vertical seal part S1. When collecting forces P, P are applied to the flat part Fr from its both sides, the flat part Fr is regularly folded, and the vertical seal part S1 is positioned in the center of a collecting part 2 to be put into a state that a fore and a rear portions thereof are held between the films. When the collecting part 2 is pressurized with pressing surfaces 4a, 5a parallel with the vertical seal part S1 and ultrasonically welded, a sealed part in which the film is uniformly pressurized can be obtained.

2. Description of the Related Art In a general form of a tubular package filled with processed food, edges on both sides in a width direction of a film are joined to each other to form a vertical seal portion (or referred to as a "back application"). It is formed to form a cylindrical body, and the inside of the cylindrical body is filled with contents. Thereafter, the operation of separating the contents in the cylindrical body by pressing the cylindrical body in such a manner that both ends in the longitudinal direction are flattened (strengthening or dividing the thickness) is performed. To be focused. The bundle is ligated at two places by a wire clip made of metal such as aluminum, and the middle of the two ligatures is cut at the bundle and separated into individual tubular packages.

However, in the case of a package tied with a metal wire clip made of metal such as aluminum, the clip reacts to the metal detecting means in quality control of the tubular package performed by the metal detecting method, and the metal is detected as a foreign substance. Causes inconvenience. Further, in the process of manufacturing the tubular package, if the operation of ligating the convergence portion of the film with a wire clip is performed, metal powder is generated when the wire clip is pressed, which is not preferable as an environment for the food packaging process.

No. 496 discloses that after a content is filled in a tubular body formed of a film, the film is focused at a portion where the content is eliminated, and the focusing portion is directly used by ultrasonic welding means or the like. A technique is disclosed in which a film is melted and sealed without using a wire clip.

For example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-67496, a constant pressure is applied to an ultrasonic horn and an anvil sandwiching a focusing portion of a film to secure a contact pressure between the horn and the anvil with respect to the film at the focusing portion. A technique for welding a film at a sealing portion is disclosed. But,
Only by controlling the contact pressure between the horn and the anvil, it is not possible to constantly form a sealing portion having a sufficient pressure resistance.

[0007] The inventors of the present invention have investigated the cause of the failure of the sealing portion to constantly provide sufficient pressure resistance to the sealing portion. As a result, the convergence portion of the vertical seal portion joining the edges of the film to each other was examined. I understood that it was caused by the position in. That is, conventionally, when the film is converged, since the presence of the vertical seal portion is not considered, the position of the vertical seal portion within the film converging portion is random, and the orientation is irregular, for example, When the focusing part is sandwiched between the ultrasonic horn and the anvil to generate heat in the film of the focusing part,
It was found that the thickness of the film sandwiched between the horn and the anvil became non-uniform, and as a result, the film was difficult to be uniformly melted at the focusing portion.

Further, as described in JP-A-59-26424 and JP-A-59-26467, after forming a vertical seal portion for joining the edges of the film, the vertical seal portion is formed. From the side facing the seal,
When the focusing plate moves toward the vertical seal portion and the film is focused, the vertical seal portion in the focus portion easily appears on the surface facing the ultrasonic horn or the anvil.
With respect to the focusing portion in this state, when the ultrasonic horn and the anvil are pressed from the same direction as the focusing direction by the focusing plate,
The vertical seal will hit the ultrasonic horn or anvil. As a result, the sandwiching pressure on the entire film sandwiched between the horn and the anvil acts non-uniformly, and the film in the focusing portion is less likely to be uniformly melted,
The pressure resistance of the sealing portion is reduced, and the good sealing rate and the good sealing rate are reduced.

【0009】以上から、従来の金属製のワイヤクリップ

FIG. 12C shows a plan view of the conventional recess 25 shown in FIG. 10D. In the conventional example, the bottom 25a of the concave portion 25 has an arc shape. This conventional example is suitable for film convergence when ligating with a metal clip, but is not suitable for film convergence in the present invention. This is because, when the flat portion Fr is converged by the concave portion 25 and the concave portion 26 facing the concave portion 25, the bottom portion 25a has an arc shape. Is not stationary and slides, so it is not possible to create regularity in film folding,
In the cross section of the sealing portion 3 after welding, as shown in FIG. 12D, the cross-sectional area of the central welding portion (i) is small, and the protruding portions (ii) of the film on both sides of the welding portion (i). Is formed. The protruding portion (ii) of the film has a lower welding strength than the welded portion (i), and the film protruding from the portion (ii) tends to have a pinhole or the like.

The bottom 25a of the concave portion 25 is a flat portion orthogonal to the flat surface of the flat portion Fr. FIG. 12B shows a cross-sectional shape of the sealing portion 3 which is focused and welded by the concave portion 25. In this case, since the bottom portion 25a of the concave portion 25 has a flat portion, the cross-sectional area of the welded portion (i) that is pressed and welded by the horn and the anvil and is welded is smaller than that of FIG. The size of the film protruding from the protruding portion (ii) is shorter than that of FIG. 12D. Therefore, the probability that a pinhole is formed in the protruding portion (ii) is lower than in FIGS. 12C and 12D, and the percentage of non-defective products can be increased.
