Description

本発明は、缶体、缶体の製造方法および缶体の製造装置に関する。  The present invention relates to a can, a method of manufacturing the can, and an apparatus for manufacturing the can.

市場において、ビール、清涼飲料水またはコーヒー等の飲料が充填される飲料用の金属缶(飲料缶)が、多種にわたり製造、販売され、一般消費者に使用されている。このような飲料缶は、例えば、アルミニウムまたはスチール等の金属薄板を、DI(Drawing and
Ironing:絞りしごき)成形、またはDR(Drawing and Redrawing:絞り・再絞り)成形等の加工方法により、缶胴および底板(または天板)を一体成形することにより得られる。かかる飲料缶は2ピース缶と呼ばれる。このような2ピース缶は、飲料が充填された缶本体に対して缶蓋を巻締等により接合することにより製造される。例えば、当該2ピース缶の缶本体としては、耐圧強化された形状の底板から一体成形された薄肉の缶胴の上端開口部にネックインフランジが形成されたものが用いられ、また、缶蓋としては、缶胴より小径のイージーオープンエンドと呼ばれる簡易開口部付き缶蓋が用いられる。そして、当該缶本体のネックインフランジに対して、当該簡易開口部付き缶蓋を巻締めることにより、2ピース缶が形成される。また、金属薄板を円筒形に丸めて接合して缶胴を形成し、当該缶胴に対して底板と天板とを巻締等により接合して得られる飲料缶は、3ピース缶と呼ばれる。
In the market, metal cans (drink cans) for beverages filled with beverages such as beer, soft drinks or coffee are widely manufactured, sold, and used by general consumers. Such a beverage can can, for example, be a sheet metal such as aluminum or steel, DI (drawing and
Ironing: It can be obtained by integrally forming the can barrel and the bottom plate (or top plate) by a processing method such as Ironing: drawing or DR (Drawing and Redrawing: drawing). Such beverage cans are called two-piece cans. Such a two-piece can is manufactured by joining a can lid to a beverage-filled can body by winding or the like. For example, as the can body of the two-piece can, one having a neck-in flange formed at the upper end opening of a thin-walled can barrel integrally formed from a bottom plate of a pressure-resistant reinforced shape is used. For this purpose, a can lid with a simple opening called an easy open end smaller in diameter than the can body is used. Then, a two-piece can is formed by winding and tightening the can lid with the simple opening on the neck-in flange of the can body. Further, a beverage can obtained by rolling and joining metal thin plates into a cylindrical shape to form a can body, and joining the bottom plate and the top plate to the can body by winding or the like is called a three-piece can.

ところで近年、ペットボトルやガラス瓶に替えて、瓶のような形状を有し、キャップ等により再密封が可能なボトル缶の開発が進められている。かかるボトル缶は、ペットボトルやガラス瓶と比較して、紫外線に対する遮光性が高く、また、飲料に含まれるガスの密閉性が高い。すなわち、ボトル缶を用いることにより、内容物である飲料の保存性が高くなる。また、ボトル缶は、ガラス瓶と比較して、軽量であり、割れにくく、かつリサイクルが容易であるという利点を有する。そのため、ボトル缶を採用すれば、使用および回収等の全てのライフサイクルにおいて、容器に係るコストを抑制することが可能となる。  By the way, in recent years, instead of plastic bottles and glass bottles, development of a bottle can having a shape like a bottle and capable of being resealed by a cap or the like has been promoted. Such a bottle can has high light shielding property against ultraviolet light and high sealing property of gas contained in a beverage as compared with a plastic bottle or a glass bottle. That is, by using a bottle can, the preservation property of the beverage which is the content is enhanced. In addition, bottle cans have the advantages of being lighter, less fragile, and easier to recycle, as compared to glass bottles. Therefore, if a bottle can is adopted, it is possible to suppress the cost of the container in all the life cycles such as use and recovery.

かかるボトル缶は、例えば、2ピース缶により実現され得る。例えば、下記特許文献1〜3には、口頸部の構造についての技術が開示されている。一方、下記特許文献4〜7に、小径の口頸部と、傾斜面を有する肩部と、大径の胴部とが一体成形され、胴部の下端の開口部において底蓋が巻締められることで飲料等の内容物を密閉するボトル缶についての技術が開示されている。また、かかるボトル缶は、3ピース缶によっても実現され得る。具体的には、下記特許文献8および9に、缶胴部と、傾斜を有する口金蓋のスカート部および底蓋のそれぞれとを巻締めることにより成形されるボトル缶についての技術が開示されている。また、下記特許文献10および11に、巻締部を缶の内周側に折り返す技術が開示されている。  Such a bottle can can be realized by, for example, a two-piece can. For example, the following patent documents 1 to 3 disclose a technique for the structure of the mouth and neck. On the other hand, according to Patent Documents 4 to 7 below, a neck with a small diameter, a shoulder having an inclined surface, and a trunk with a large diameter are integrally formed, and the bottom lid is wound and tightened at the opening at the lower end of the trunk. Thus, there is disclosed a technology for a bottle can which seals contents such as beverages. Such a bottle can can also be realized by a three-piece can. Specifically, Patent Documents 8 and 9 below disclose techniques for a bottle can formed by winding and closing a can body and each of a skirt and a bottom of a mouthpiece lid having an inclination. . Further, Patent Documents 10 and 11 below disclose a technique for turning back the wound portion to the inner peripheral side of the can.

口頸部および肩部の加工は、上記特許文献1〜3では2ピース缶の上端開口部から行われるのに対し、上記特許文献4〜7では2ピース缶の底板(天板)から行われる。縮径が要求される口頸部および肩部の加工における加工工数および技術的困難性の観点から、缶の製造においては、後者に示す加工方法がより有利であるとされている。  While processing of the neck and shoulders is performed from the upper end opening of the two-piece can in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is performed from the bottom plate (top plate) of the two-piece can in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 4 to 7 . From the viewpoint of the number of processing steps and technical difficulties in the processing of the neck and shoulders where diameter reduction is required, the processing method shown in the latter is considered to be more advantageous in the manufacture of cans.

しかしながら、上記特許文献4〜7に開示された缶では、胴部の下端の開口部と底蓋とを巻締めて接合する巻締部が缶底側に設けられる。そうすると、当該缶を平坦面上に載置した際に、上記巻締部が露出してしまう。この場合、かかる巻締部の外周面に対する塗装等の装飾加工は困難であるため、巻締部の外周面と胴部の外周面の模様または色彩等の外観のデザインを統一することが困難である。また、巻締部は、底蓋と胴部とが外周側に折り重なって形成されることにより、胴部の下端から外側に出っ張った構造となるため、缶全体の形状に係る外観の美観を損ねてしまうという問題がある。  However, in the cans disclosed in Patent Literatures 4 to 7, the winding tightening portion for winding and joining the opening at the lower end of the body portion and the bottom lid is provided on the can bottom side. Then, when the can is placed on a flat surface, the above-mentioned tightening portion is exposed. In this case, since decoration processing such as painting on the outer peripheral surface of the wound portion is difficult, it is difficult to unify the design of the outer appearance of the outer peripheral surface of the wound portion and the outer peripheral surface of the body such as patterns or colors. is there. In addition, since the crimped portion is formed by folding the bottom cover and the trunk portion outward on the outer peripheral side, it has a structure projecting outward from the lower end of the trunk portion, so the appearance of the entire can can not be deteriorated. Has the problem of

また、上記特許文献8および9に開示された缶においては、缶胴部とスカート部との間に缶胴部と口金蓋とを巻締める巻締部が配置されることで、外観的には目立ちにくくはなっているものの、依然として巻締部が外部より視認される状態となっている。さらに、上記特許文献4〜7と同様に、缶胴部の下端の開口部と底蓋とを巻締めて接合した巻締部が缶底側に設けられるので、当該缶を載置した際に、上記巻締部が露出してしまうという問題がある。  Further, in the cans disclosed in Patent Documents 8 and 9 above, in view of appearance, a winding tightening portion for winding and tightening the can body and the mouthpiece lid is disposed between the can body and the skirt. Although it has become less noticeable, the clasp is still visible from the outside. Furthermore, in the same manner as Patent Documents 4 to 7 above, since the crimped portion obtained by winding and joining the opening at the lower end of the can body and the bottom lid is provided on the can bottom side, when the can is placed There is a problem that the above-mentioned tightening part will be exposed.

このような巻締部を上記特許文献10に開示された技術により缶の内部に折り返すことにより、当該巻締部を外部より視認しにくくするということも考えられる。しかしながら、上記特許文献10には、上記巻締部をどのように折り返すか(例えば、どのような折り返し成形用の金型を使用し、どのようなプロセスで巻締め部を折り返すか)が具体的に開示されていない。そのため、巻締部を外部より視認しにくい状態になるよう単に巻締部を成形しようとしても、その成形の際に缶体に疵またはしわ等の成形不良を生じさせてしまうおそれがある。  It is also conceivable to make it difficult to visually recognize the wound portion from the outside by folding such a wound portion into the inside of the can by the technique disclosed in Patent Document 10 above. However, in Patent Document 10 above, how to turn back the above-mentioned wound portion (for example, what kind of die for back-folding molding is used and by what process it is necessary to turn back the wound portion) is concrete Not disclosed. Therefore, even if it is attempted to simply form the crimped portion so as to make the crimped portion difficult to visually recognize from the outside, there is a risk that the can body may have a molding failure such as wrinkles or wrinkles during molding.

また、上記特許文献11には、缶胴の開口端に蓋を二重巻締してなる缶において、二重巻締したシームバンドの頂部が缶胴の折返し端縁部とほぼ同一面または該端縁部より缶胴内方に押し込んだ状態とされている。しかし、上記特許文献11では、缶胴内方にシームバンドが押し込まれることによって缶胴端部は末広がりとなる。このとき、缶体の内面においてシームバンドは缶胴と接触している。シームバンドと缶胴とが接触していると、シームバンドと缶胴とが擦れて接触部分に力が加わり、当該接触部分に疵が入りやすくなる。  Further, according to Patent Document 11, in the case of a can having a double-rolled lid at the open end of the can body, the top portion of the double-wrapped seam band is substantially flush with the folded end edge portion of the can body or It is in a state where it is pushed into the can barrel from the end edge. However, in Patent Document 11 described above, the end of the can barrel is widened by pushing the seam band inward of the can barrel. At this time, the seam band is in contact with the can body on the inner surface of the can. When the seam band and the can body are in contact with each other, the seam band and the can body rub against each other to apply a force to the contact portion, so that the contact portion is likely to be wrinkled.

そこで、本発明は、上記問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、本発明の目的とするところは、缶体の外観の美観をより優れたものとし、また、当該美観に優れる缶体を成形不良なく製造することにある。  Then, this invention is made in view of the said problem, and the place made into the objective of this invention makes the aesthetics of the external appearance of a can body more excellent, and can form the can body which is excellent in the said aesthetic appearance defect. It is to manufacture without.

また、上記課題を解決するために、本発明の別の観点によれば、缶軸方向における下方に缶底を有する缶体の製造装置であって、被加工材を固定するダイと、前記ダイの内側において前記ダイの円筒軸方向の一側に配置され、前記ダイとともに前記被加工材を成形するパンチと、を備え、前記被加工材は、前記缶軸方向に伸び前記缶体の側壁部分を構成する円筒状の胴体部と、前記胴体部の下端から連なり、前記缶軸方向に沿って前記胴体部から下方に向かうにつれて缶径が減少する傾斜部と、前記缶底を形成する蓋本体と、前記傾斜部の下端部分と前記蓋本体の周縁部とを巻締めることにより形成され、前記蓋本体と前記胴体部とを接合する巻締部と、を含み、前記ダイは、前記胴体部の外周面を拘束することにより、前記被加工材を固定し、前記パンチは、前記蓋本体の下面に当接可能に設けられる缶蓋拘束部と、前記缶蓋拘束部の外周側に設けられ、前記巻締部を収容可能な凹部を有する巻締拘束部と、前記巻締拘束部の外周側に設けられ、前記缶軸方向における下方に突出するように湾曲した成形面を有し、前記成形面における湾曲部分の深さが前記巻締部の前記缶軸方向の長さよりも大きい湾曲成形部と、が一体的に形成されたパンチであり、前記パンチは、前記蓋本体および前記巻締部に対して当接した状態において、前記ダイの内周面に沿って、缶底側から上方に向かって移動可能に設けられる、缶体の製造装置が提供される。  In order to solve the above-mentioned subject, according to another viewpoint of the present invention, it is a manufacturing device of a can which has a can bottom in the lower part in can axial direction, and which fixes a material to be processed; And a punch disposed on one side of the die in the direction of the cylinder axis of the die and forming the workpiece with the die, the workpiece extending in the can axial direction, and the sidewall portion of the can A cylindrical body portion constituting the body, an inclined portion connected from the lower end of the body portion and having a can diameter decreasing downward from the body portion along the can axis direction, and a lid body forming the can bottom And a winding portion formed by winding the lower end portion of the inclined portion and the peripheral portion of the lid main body, and joining the lid main body and the body portion, and the die is the body portion The work material is fixed by restraining the outer peripheral surface of The punch is a can lid restraining portion provided to be able to abut on the lower surface of the lid main body, and a winding restraining portion having a concave portion provided on an outer peripheral side of the can lid restraining portion and capable of accommodating the winding tightened portion. And a molding surface provided on an outer peripheral side of the winding restraint portion and curved so as to protrude downward in the can axial direction, and a depth of a curved portion in the molding surface is the can of the winding clamping portion It is a punch in which the curved shaping | molding part larger than the length of the axial direction was integrally formed, and the said punch is an inner peripheral surface of the said die in the state contact | abutted with respect to the said lid main body and the said winding tightening part. There is provided an apparatus for manufacturing a can, which is provided so as to be movable upward from the can bottom side.

上記缶体によれば、上記缶体を平坦面に載置した際に、湾曲部の内周側に設けられる巻締部が外部から視認されなくなる。すなわち、上記缶体が平坦面に載置される場合、巻締部が湾曲部により遮蔽されるので、当該缶体の外観に巻締部の構成が含まれないこととなる。したがって、巻締部の存在に囚われず、缶体の外観の意匠をより自由に設計することが可能となる。  According to the above-mentioned can, when the above-mentioned can is placed on a flat surface, the crimped portion provided on the inner peripheral side of the curved portion is not visually recognized from the outside. In other words, when the can body is placed on a flat surface, the winding tightening portion is shielded by the curved portion, so that the appearance of the can does not include the configuration of the winding tightening portion. Therefore, it becomes possible to design the design of the external appearance of the can more freely, without being restricted by the presence of the winding part.

また、上記缶体の製造方法および製造装置によれば、缶体を平坦面上に載置した場合、湾曲部の内周側に設けられる巻締部が外部から視認されなくなる。すなわち、上記缶体が平坦面上に載置される場合、巻締部が湾曲部により遮蔽されるので、当該缶体の外観に巻締部の構成が含まれないこととなる。さらに、巻締部の移動が径方向に拘束されることにより、傾斜部の面内方向に対する圧縮力による座屈曲げが生じ、湾曲部が成形される。そうすると、巻締部が径方向に引っ張られにくくなるので、巻締部が接合部分の剥離することによるシール性の悪化を抑制することができ、成形不良を防ぐことができる。  Moreover, according to the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus of the said can, when a can is mounted on a flat surface, the crimped part provided in the inner peripheral side of a curved part will not be visually recognized from the outside. In other words, when the can body is placed on a flat surface, the winding tightening portion is shielded by the curved portion, so the appearance of the can does not include the configuration of the winding tightening portion. Furthermore, by restraining the movement of the tightening portion in the radial direction, buckling bending occurs due to the compressive force in the in-plane direction of the inclined portion, and the curved portion is formed. As a result, since the wound portion is unlikely to be pulled in the radial direction, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the sealing performance due to the peeling of the joined portion and to prevent the molding failure.

(Structure of can)
Drawing 1A and Drawing 1B are figures showing an example of composition of can 1 concerning one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a front view of the can 1 seen from the front, and FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the can 1 seen obliquely from below. Further, a part of the front view shown in FIG. 1A is expressed as a cutaway view.

図1Aおよび図1Bに示すように、缶体1は、ボトル様形状の缶胴2、缶蓋3および巻締部4からなる。本実施形態に係る缶体1は、いわゆる瓶の形状を模したボトル缶の形態を有する。かかる缶体1を形成する素材は、例えば、アルミニウム、アルミニウム合金またはスチール等の薄板金属である。缶胴2および缶蓋3を形成する薄板金属の素材および板厚は、要求される缶体1の強度、剛性もしくは強度、缶体1に充填される飲料の種類、または缶体1の製造コスト等に応じて適宜選択され得る。  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the can 1 comprises a can-like body 2 having a bottle-like shape, a can lid 3 and a tightening portion 4. The can 1 which concerns on this embodiment has a form of the bottle can which imitated the shape of what is called a bottle. The raw material which forms this can 1 is thin plate metals, such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, or steel, for example. The material and thickness of the sheet metal forming the can body 2 and the can lid 3 are the required strength, rigidity or strength of the can 1, the type of beverage filled in the can 1, or the manufacturing cost of the can 1 It may be appropriately selected according to the like.

図1Aおよび図1Bに示すように、缶胴2は、胴体部21、肩部22、口頸部23および湾曲部24を有しており、缶胴2において当該胴体部21、肩部22、口頸部23および湾曲部24は、一体的に形成されている。かかる缶胴2の成形方法の例については後述する。  As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the can body 2 has a body portion 21, a shoulder portion 22, a neck and neck portion 23 and a curved portion 24, and in the can body 2, the body portion 21, the shoulder portion 22, The mouth and neck portion 23 and the bending portion 24 are integrally formed. An example of the method for molding the can barrel 2 will be described later.

胴体部21は、缶軸方向Cに伸びる円筒状の部分であり、缶体1の側壁部分に相当する。胴体部21の形状は、図1Aおよび図1Bに示すような単純な円筒状に限らない。例えば、缶体1の把持を容易にするため、および/または外観の美観を優れたものとするために、胴体部21の缶径が缶軸方向Cに沿って増減し、または、胴体部21の一部に窪み形状、凹凸形状または溝形状等が設けられてもよい。また、エンボスまたはテクスチャ等の加工が胴体部21の表面になされてもよい。  The body portion 21 is a cylindrical portion extending in the can axial direction C, and corresponds to the side wall portion of the can 1. The shape of the body portion 21 is not limited to a simple cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. For example, in order to facilitate gripping of the can 1 and / or to improve the appearance of the can, the can diameter of the body 21 is increased or decreased along the can axial direction C, or the body 21 In a part of the groove, a concave shape, an uneven shape, a groove shape or the like may be provided. Also, processing such as embossing or texture may be performed on the surface of the body portion 21.

肩部22は、胴体部21から上側に連なって形成されている。肩部22は、中空であって、缶軸方向Cに沿って胴体部21から上方に向かうにつれて缶径が減少する構造を有する。肩部22は、例えば、図1Aに示すように、缶胴2の外側および内側に湾曲する湾曲部分と、缶軸方向Cに沿って上方に向かうにつれて缶軸に接近するテーパ部分とにより構成されてもよい。もちろん、肩部22は、テーパ形状のみにより構成されてもよいし、湾曲形状のみにより構成されてもよい。また、肩部22の一部は、缶軸方向Cに平行な円筒状により構成されてもよい。  The shoulder 22 is formed continuously from the body 21 to the upper side. The shoulder 22 is hollow and has a structure in which the diameter of the can decreases as going upward from the body portion 21 in the can axial direction C. For example, as shown in FIG. 1A, the shoulder portion 22 is constituted by a curved portion which curves to the outside and the inside of the can barrel 2 and a tapered portion which approaches the can axis as it goes upward along the can axial direction C. May be Of course, the shoulder 22 may be configured only by a tapered shape, or may be configured only by a curved shape. Further, a part of the shoulder portion 22 may be formed in a cylindrical shape parallel to the can axial direction C.

口頸部23は、肩部22の上側に連なって形成されている。口頸部23は、缶体1の飲み口に相当する部分であり、上端に開口を有する環状構成を有する。当該上端には、図1Aに示すように、カール部が設けられ得る。当該カール部は、口頸部23の上端にフランジを設け、当該フランジを外周方向に折り曲げることにより成形され得る。当該カール部には、上端の開口を封鎖するキャップが係合され得る。  The mouth and neck 23 is formed continuously with the upper side of the shoulder 22. The mouth and neck portion 23 is a portion corresponding to the spout of the can 1 and has an annular configuration having an opening at the upper end. The upper end may be provided with a curled portion as shown in FIG. 1A. The curled portion may be formed by providing a flange at the upper end of the mouth and neck portion 23 and bending the flange in the outer circumferential direction. The curled portion may be engaged with a cap that closes the opening at the upper end.

また、口頸部23の上端の下方における外周面には、雄ねじ部(図示せず。)が設けられてもよい。かかる雄ねじ部にはスクリューキャップが係合され得る。これにより、缶体1のリシールが可能となる。  In addition, an external thread (not shown) may be provided on the outer peripheral surface below the upper end of the mouth and neck portion 23. A screw cap can be engaged with such an external thread. Thereby, resealing of the can 1 is attained.

湾曲部24は、胴体部21の下端から連なって形成され、缶胴2の内周方向に曲げられて、缶軸方向Cにおける下方に突出して湾曲した溝形状を有する。すなわち、湾曲部24は、缶胴2の下端の外周縁に沿った環状の溝形状を有する。湾曲部24の詳細な構成については、後述する。  The curved portion 24 is formed continuously from the lower end of the body portion 21 and is bent in the inner circumferential direction of the can barrel 2 and has a groove shape that protrudes and curves downward in the can axial direction C. That is, the curved portion 24 has an annular groove shape along the outer peripheral edge of the lower end of the can body 2. The detailed configuration of the bending portion 24 will be described later.

缶蓋3は、缶体1の缶底を形成する部材である。本実施形態に係る缶蓋3は、中央部分を占める円板状の蓋本体30および蓋本体30の周縁部からなる。図1Aに示すように、缶蓋3は、蓋本体30により缶底を形成し、巻締部4により缶胴2と接合され、缶胴2の下端の開口部を密閉する。缶蓋3の外径は、後述するように巻締部4が湾曲部24よりも内周側に位置するように、適宜設定され得る。缶蓋3の厚みは、缶体1に要求される強度、剛性または製造コスト等に応じて適宜設定され得る。  The can lid 3 is a member that forms the can bottom of the can 1. The can lid 3 which concerns on this embodiment consists of the disk-shaped lid main body 30 which occupies a center part, and the peripheral part of the lid main body 30. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1A, the can lid 3 forms a can bottom by the lid body 30, is joined to the can barrel 2 by the winding tightening unit 4, and seals the opening at the lower end of the can barrel 2. The outer diameter of the can lid 3 may be appropriately set such that the winding tightening portion 4 is positioned on the inner peripheral side relative to the bending portion 24 as described later. The thickness of the can lid 3 can be appropriately set according to the strength, rigidity, manufacturing cost, etc. required of the can 1.

巻締部4は、缶蓋3と、缶胴2の湾曲部24の胴体部21とは反対側の端部とを巻締めることにより形成される。図2は、本実施形態に係る缶蓋3、巻締部4および湾曲部24の構造を説明するための缶体1の局部断面図である。図2に示すように、巻締部4は、缶蓋3の蓋本体30の外周側に設けられる周縁部31と湾曲部24の端部25とが折り重なって巻締められることにより形成されている。かかる巻締部4は、缶胴2および缶蓋3との接合部であり、缶胴2および缶蓋3の周方向に沿って、缶軸を中心とする円環状に形成される。また、巻締部4は、湾曲部24よりも内周側に、かつ、缶軸方向Cにおいて巻締部4の下端4Aが湾曲部24の下端24Aよりも上方に位置するように設けられている。  The tightening portion 4 is formed by winding the can lid 3 and an end portion of the curved portion 24 of the can barrel 2 opposite to the body portion 21. FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the can 1 for illustrating the structures of the can lid 3, the winding clamp 4, and the bending portion 24 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the tightening portion 4 is formed by folding and winding the peripheral portion 31 provided on the outer peripheral side of the lid main body 30 of the can lid 3 and the end 25 of the curved portion 24. . The tightening portion 4 is a joint portion between the can body 2 and the can lid 3, and is formed in an annular shape centered on the can axis along the circumferential direction of the can body 2 and the can lid 3. Further, the tightening portion 4 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the bending portion 24 so that the lower end 4A of the tightening portion 4 is positioned above the lower end 24A of the bending portion 24 in the can axial direction C There is.

なお、巻締部4を構成する周縁部31および湾曲部24の端部25との隙間には、シール材が適宜接着され得る。かかるシール材は、例えば、樹脂または複合材等の公知のシール材であってもよい。このようなシール材が周縁部31および端部25の界面に塗布または成膜され、周縁部31および端部25が巻締めされることにより、巻締部4における周縁部31と端部25とが固着して、両者の隙間が密閉され、缶体1の気密性がより確実に保持される。  In addition, a sealing material may be appropriately adhered to a gap between the peripheral edge portion 31 and the end portion 25 of the bending portion 24 which constitute the winding tightening portion 4. Such a sealing material may be, for example, a known sealing material such as a resin or a composite material. Such a sealing material is applied or deposited on the interface between the peripheral edge 31 and the end 25, and the peripheral edge 31 and the end 25 are wound, whereby the peripheral edge 31 and the end 25 in the wound portion 4 are obtained. Adheres, the gap between the two is sealed, and the airtightness of the can 1 is more reliably maintained.

かかる構成を有する缶体1を平坦面上に載置した場合、湾曲部24の下端24Aが当該平坦面に接触する。すなわち、湾曲部24の下端24Aが缶体1の最底部となる。このとき、巻締部4は、湾曲部24よりも内周側に設けられ、かつ、湾曲部24の下端24Aよりも缶軸方向Cにおける上方に設けられている。よって、缶体1が平坦面上に載置されている場合、外周側の湾曲部24が内周側の巻締部4を遮蔽するので、外部から巻締部4を視認することはできない。そうすると、缶体1が平坦面上に載置されている場合の缶体1の外観には巻締部4の構成が含まれないこととなる。したがって、巻締部4の存在に囚われず、缶体1の外観の意匠をより自由に設計することが可能となる。よって、缶体1の外観の美観をより優れたものとすることが可能である。  When the can 1 having the above configuration is placed on a flat surface, the lower end 24A of the bending portion 24 contacts the flat surface. That is, the lower end 24A of the curved portion 24 is the bottom of the can 1. At this time, the tightening portion 4 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the bending portion 24 and is provided above the lower end 24A of the bending portion 24 in the can axial direction C. Therefore, when the can 1 is placed on a flat surface, the curved portion 24 on the outer peripheral side shields the wound portion 4 on the inner peripheral side, so that the wound portion 4 can not be visually recognized from the outside. In this case, the appearance of the can 1 when the can 1 is placed on a flat surface does not include the configuration of the winding clamp 4. Therefore, it becomes possible to design the design of the external appearance of the can 1 more freely, without being restricted by the presence of the winding part 4. Therefore, it is possible to make the aesthetics of the external appearance of the can 1 more excellent.

また、巻締部4を外部から視認できなくすることにより、巻締部4の外側面を構成する缶蓋3の周縁部31の構成を、缶体1の外観に囚われることなく容易に変更することが可能となる。例えば、缶蓋3の板厚を自在に変更することが可能となる。これにより、缶蓋3による缶体1の外観に与える影響を考慮せずに、缶体1に要求される強度、剛性または製造コスト等に応じて缶蓋3の板厚を変更することができる。  Moreover, the configuration of the peripheral portion 31 of the can lid 3 constituting the outer side surface of the rolled-up portion 4 is easily changed without being caught by the appearance of the can 1 by making the rolled-up portion 4 invisible from the outside. It becomes possible. For example, the thickness of the can lid 3 can be freely changed. Thus, the thickness of the can lid 3 can be changed according to the strength, rigidity, manufacturing cost, etc. required of the can 1 without considering the influence of the can lid 3 on the appearance of the can 1. .

また、巻締部4が缶底側において露出している従来の缶体1が落下した場合、巻締部4に落下の衝撃が直接的に与えられ、巻締部4の接合部分が剥離して、飲料等の内容物のシール性が損なわれることがあった。本実施形態によれば、缶体1が落下した場合、巻締部4が缶軸方向Cにおいて胴体部21側に入り込んでいることから、巻締部4に対して落下の衝撃が直接的に伝わりにくくなる。したがって、缶体1が落下しても、巻締部4に与えられる衝撃力が低減するので、巻締部4の接合部分の剥離が抑制されシール性が損なわれにくくなり得る。  In addition, when the conventional can body 1 in which the crimped portion 4 is exposed on the can bottom side falls, the impact of the drop is directly given to the wounded portion 4 and the joint portion of the crimped portion 4 peels off As a result, the sealability of contents such as beverages may be impaired. According to the present embodiment, when the can 1 is dropped, the impact of the drop is directly applied to the crimped portion 4 because the crimped portion 4 enters the body portion 21 side in the can axial direction C. It will be difficult to communicate. Therefore, even if the can 1 is dropped, the impact force applied to the wound portion 4 is reduced, so peeling of the joined portion of the wound portion 4 can be suppressed, and the sealing performance can be less likely to be impaired.

なお、湾曲部24の缶軸方向Cの深さ(缶蓋3の蓋本体30から下端24Aまでの長さ)、および湾曲部24の径方向Rの幅(胴体部21と巻締部4との間の距離)は特に限定されない。また、本実施形態に係る湾曲部24は、図2に示すように、缶軸方向Cにおける下方に突出して湾曲した形状となっているが、かかる湾曲部24の形状は、内周方向に曲げられることにより全体として下方に突出した形状を有していれば、特に限定されない。例えば、かかる湾曲部24の成形加工上の都合等により、缶軸方向Cにおける上方に突出した形状が部分的に生じることがあっても、胴体部21の下端から湾曲部24の端部25にかけて全体的に缶軸方向Cにおける下方に突出した形状であれば、かかる湾曲部24の構成は、本発明の範疇に含まれる。  Note that the depth in the can axis direction C of the curved portion 24 (the length from the lid body 30 to the lower end 24A of the can lid 3) and the width in the radial direction R of the curved portion 24 (the body portion 21 and the tightening portion 4 There is no particular limitation on the distance between Moreover, although the curved part 24 which concerns on this embodiment is a shape which protrudes and curves downward in the can axial direction C, as shown in FIG. 2, the shape of this curved part 24 bends in an inner peripheral direction. It is not particularly limited as long as it has a shape projecting downward as a whole by being driven. For example, even if a shape projecting upward in the can axial direction C may partially occur due to the forming process of the curved portion 24 or the like, the lower end of the body portion 21 to the end 25 of the curved portion 24 The configuration of the curved portion 24 is included in the scope of the present invention as long as it has a shape projecting downward in the can axial direction C as a whole.

さらに、本発明者が検討した結果、図2に示す巻締部4の下端4Aと湾曲部24の下端24Aとの距離Hは、0.5mm以上であることが好ましい。距離Hが0.5mm以上であれば、湾曲部24の形状に関わらず、巻締部4を確実に遮蔽し、缶体1の外観に巻締部4の構成を含まないようにすることが、より確実に可能となる。  Furthermore, as a result of examination by the present inventor, it is preferable that the distance H between the lower end 4A of the crimped portion 4 and the lower end 24A of the bending portion 24 shown in FIG. If the distance H is 0.5 mm or more, regardless of the shape of the curved portion 24, the winding tightening portion 4 is reliably shielded so that the appearance of the can 1 does not include the configuration of the winding tightening portion 4. It will be possible more surely.

以上、本実施形態に係る缶体1の構成について説明した。  The configuration of the can 1 according to the present embodiment has been described above.

(缶体の製造方法)
次に、本実施形態に係る缶体1の製造方法の一例について説明する。上述したように、本実施形態に係る缶体1は、缶胴2の缶底側の開口端に缶蓋3を巻締めることにより形成される、いわゆる2ピース缶である。
(Manufacturing method of can)
Next, an example of the manufacturing method of the can 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated. As described above, the can 1 according to the present embodiment is a so-called two-piece can that is formed by winding the can lid 3 around the open end on the can bottom side of the can barrel 2.

本実施形態に係る缶体1の製造方法について、詳細に説明する。まず、缶体1の製造方法のうち、缶胴2と缶蓋3とを巻締める工程までを説明する。  The manufacturing method of the can 1 which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated in detail. First, in the method of manufacturing the can 1, the steps up to the step of tightening the can barrel 2 and the can lid 3 will be described.

本実施形態では、薄板金属を打ち抜いたブランクに対して、DI成形を施すことにより、天板を有し、缶底側が開口した円筒状の缶胴を成形する。そして、缶胴の天板側をプレス成形することにより、肩部および口頸部を形成する。このとき、口頸部は、かかるプレス成形により缶胴の胴体部(肩部よりも下側の部分)よりも小径となる。天板側をプレス成形することで、薄板金属の素材(例えば、成形性がアルミニウムよりも比較的劣るスチール)に関わらず、低工数で、かつ材料のロスを抑制して、肩部および口頸部を形成することができる。そして、この天板の天面をトリミングすることにより、口頸部の上端に開口が形成される。また、形成された口頸部の上端の開口の周縁部分をカール加工することで、カール部が形成される。  In the present embodiment, a blank obtained by punching a thin plate metal is subjected to DI forming to form a cylindrical can body having a top plate and having an open can bottom side. And a shoulder part and a neck are formed by press-forming the top-plate side of a can-barrel. At this time, the mouth and neck become smaller in diameter than the body portion (portion lower than the shoulder portion) of the can barrel by such press molding. By pressing the top plate side, regardless of the material of the thin sheet metal (for example, steel whose formability is relatively inferior to that of aluminum), the number of shoulders and the neck and neck can be reduced with a low number of steps and loss of material. The part can be formed. Then, by trimming the top surface of the top plate, an opening is formed at the upper end of the mouth and neck. Further, the curled portion is formed by curling the peripheral portion of the opening at the upper end of the formed mouth and neck.

また、本実施形態では、胴体部の下端部分に、缶胴の内周方向に向かって縮径する傾斜部が形成される。さらに、当該傾斜部の下端部分に、フランジ部が形成される。傾斜部およびフランジ部は、公知のネック加工およびフランジ加工により形成される。この傾斜部およびフランジ部は、巻締め加工後において、上述した湾曲部24およびその端部25に対応する。なお、傾斜部と胴体部およびフランジ部との接続部分は、適宜アールが設けられ得る。アールの大きさは特に限定されず、傾斜部における縮径率(缶軸方向Cに対する缶径の縮小の割合)等に応じて適宜調整される。  Further, in the present embodiment, the lower end portion of the body portion is formed with an inclined portion which is reduced in diameter toward the inner circumferential direction of the can barrel. Furthermore, a flange portion is formed at the lower end portion of the inclined portion. The ramps and flanges are formed by known necking and flanging. The inclined portion and the flange portion correspond to the above-described curved portion 24 and its end 25 after the winding process. In addition, the connection part of an inclination part, a fuselage | body part, and a flange part may be provided with a radius suitably. The size of the radius is not particularly limited, and is appropriately adjusted in accordance with the diameter reduction ratio (the ratio of the reduction of the can diameter to the can axial direction C) or the like in the inclined portion.

傾斜部およびフランジ部の形成後、缶蓋の周縁部と缶胴のフランジ部とを巻締め加工により巻締める。巻締め加工は、二重巻締めなど、公知の巻締め加工が用いられる。これにより、缶蓋が缶胴の開口端に巻締められ、缶体1の缶底が缶蓋の蓋本体により形成される。  After the formation of the inclined portion and the flange portion, the peripheral portion of the can lid and the flange portion of the can barrel are wound and tightened by winding. As the winding process, a known winding process such as double winding is used. Thus, the can lid is wound around the open end of the can barrel, and the can bottom of the can 1 is formed by the lid body of the can lid.

次に、巻締め加工後における、巻締部の押込み成形に係る工程について、図3〜図4Cを参照しながら説明する。図3は、巻締め加工直後の被加工材100の構成の一例、および押込み成形の方法の一例を説明するための図である。図3に示すように、被加工材100は缶胴200および蓋本体300からなり、巻締部400によって缶胴200および蓋本体300が接合されている。缶胴200は、円筒状の胴体部201、略テーパ状の肩部202、略環状の口頸部203、略逆テーパ状の傾斜部204および略環状のフランジ部205からなる。被加工材100の材質および板厚等は、上述した缶体1の材質および板厚等に準じる。  Next, the process which concerns on pressing forming of a winding-fastening part after winding-fastening process is demonstrated, referring FIGS. 3-4C. FIG. 3 is a view for explaining an example of the configuration of the workpiece 100 immediately after the winding process and an example of a method of pressing and forming. As shown in FIG. 3, the material to be processed 100 includes a can barrel 200 and a lid main body 300, and the can barrel 200 and the lid main body 300 are joined by the winding tightening portion 400. The can barrel 200 includes a cylindrical body portion 201, a substantially tapered shoulder portion 202, a substantially annular mouth and neck portion 203, a substantially reverse tapered slope portion 204, and a substantially annular flange portion 205. The material, thickness and the like of the workpiece 100 conform to the material and thickness and the like of the can 1 described above.

この時点では、巻締部400は、傾斜部204の縮径により傾斜部204よりも内周側に位置しているが、被加工材100の最底部に位置している。そこで、缶胴200を固定しながら巻締部400(または蓋本体300)を、図3の矢印方向へ押込む押込み成形をすることが考えられる。これにより、巻締部400が、缶胴200の胴体部201側へと押込まれるので、図1Aに示すように、湾曲部24が缶体1における最底部となり、缶体1を平坦面上に載置した際に、巻締部400が外部から視認され得なくなると考えられる。  At this time, the crimped portion 400 is positioned on the inner peripheral side of the inclined portion 204 due to the diameter reduction of the inclined portion 204, but is positioned at the bottom of the workpiece 100. In view of this, it is conceivable to press and form the clamping portion 400 (or the lid main body 300) in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3 while fixing the can barrel 200. As a result, since the crimped portion 400 is pushed toward the body portion 201 side of the can barrel 200, as shown in FIG. 1A, the curved portion 24 becomes the bottom of the can 1 and the can 1 is flat. It is considered that the winding portion 400 can not be visually recognized from the outside when placed on the

しかしながら、本発明者らの検討の結果、単純に巻締部400または蓋本体300を押し込むだけでは、巻締部400におけるシール性および成形性が悪化してしまうことが判明した。具体的には、単純に巻締部400または蓋本体300を押し込む場合、蓋本体300と缶胴200との接合部分が、互いに離隔する方向に引っ張られ得る。そうすると、周縁部301およびフランジ部205における巻締部400の接合箇所が引き剥がされてしまう。これにより、巻締部400のシール性が悪化し得る。  However, as a result of studies by the present inventors, it has been found that the sealing performance and the formability of the wound portion 400 are deteriorated simply by pushing the wound portion 400 or the lid main body 300. Specifically, in the case of simply pressing in the tightening portion 400 or the lid main body 300, the joint portion between the lid main body 300 and the can barrel 200 can be pulled in a direction away from each other. If it does so, the joining location of the crimp part 400 in the peripheral part 301 and the flange part 205 will be torn off. Thereby, the sealability of the winding part 400 may deteriorate.

また、上記特許文献6を参照すれば、缶胴200を固定しながら傾斜部204を内周方向に折り曲げることにより、缶軸方向Cにおける下方に突出する湾曲部24を成形しつつ巻締部400を湾曲部24の下端よりも缶軸方向Cにおける上方に位置するように配設することも考えられる。しかしながら、本発明者らの検討の結果、巻締部400の径方向Rにおける動きが拘束されないことから、傾斜部204の内周方向への曲げ加工の際に、蓋本体300と缶胴200との接合部分が互いに離隔する方向に引っ張られることが判明した。したがって、巻締部400のシール性が悪化し得る。また、傾斜部204の内周方向への曲げが生じる箇所が曲げ加工の際にずれてしまう。傾斜部204の形状を所望する形状に成形することが困難であり、また、巻締部400が缶軸方向Cの上方へ移動しにくく、その結果、巻締部400を湾曲部24の下端よりも上方に配設することが困難となっていた。  Further, referring to Patent Document 6 described above, the winding tightening portion 400 is formed while bending the inclined portion 204 in the inner circumferential direction while fixing the can barrel 200, thereby forming the curved portion 24 that protrudes downward in the can axial direction C. It is also conceivable to arrange the lower end of the bending portion 24 so as to be located above the lower end of the bending portion 24 in the can axial direction C. However, as a result of examinations by the present inventors, the movement in the radial direction R of the crimped portion 400 is not restrained, so that the lid main body 300 and the can barrel 200 are bent when bending the inclined portion 204 in the inner circumferential direction. It has been found that the joints of are pulled away from one another. Therefore, the sealability of the wound portion 400 may be degraded. In addition, a portion where bending in the inner circumferential direction of the inclined portion 204 occurs is displaced at the time of bending. It is difficult to form the shape of the inclined portion 204 into a desired shape, and it is difficult for the winding portion 400 to move upward in the can axial direction C, and as a result, the winding portion 400 is closer to the lower end of the curved portion 24. It has been difficult to arrange them above.

このように、被加工材100の缶底側の部材を単純に押し込むだけでは、成形不良を起こさずに、巻締部4を外観から視認し得ない構造となる缶体1を成形することは困難であった。  As described above, it is possible to form the can 1 having a structure in which the crimped portion 4 can not be visually recognized from the appearance without causing molding defects simply by simply pushing the member on the can bottom side of the workpiece 100 into shape. It was difficult.

そこで、本発明者らは鋭意研究し、本発明に想到するに至った。本発明では、被加工材100を固定した状態で、巻締部400の径方向Rにおける移動を拘束しながら、巻締部400を缶軸方向Cの上方に押込むことにより、当該押込みに伴って傾斜部204が曲げられ、胴体部201よりも内周側において缶軸方向Cにおける下方に突出する湾曲部を成形する。その際、蓋本体300および巻締部400は、巻締部400の下端が傾斜部204を曲げて成形される湾曲部の下端よりも缶軸方向Cにおける上方となる位置まで押し込まれる。  Then, the present inventors earnestly studied and arrived at the present invention. In the present invention, in a state in which the workpiece 100 is fixed, the winding tightening portion 400 is pushed upward in the can axial direction C while constraining the movement of the winding tightening portion 400 in the radial direction R. The inclined portion 204 is bent to form a curved portion that protrudes downward in the can axial direction C on the inner peripheral side of the body portion 201. At that time, the lid main body 300 and the tightening portion 400 are pushed to a position where the lower end of the tightening portion 400 is above the lower end of the curved portion formed by bending the inclined portion 204 in the can axial direction C.

かかる技術によれば、巻締部400の径方向Rへの移動が拘束されるので、蓋本体300および巻締部400を缶軸方向Cに押し込む際において、巻締部400における蓋本体300と缶胴200との接合部分が径方向Rに引っ張られにくくなる。これにより、周縁部301およびフランジ部205における巻締部400の接合箇所が剥がれずに済み、巻締部400のシール性を維持することができる。  According to this technique, the movement of the winding portion 400 in the radial direction R is restrained, and therefore, when the lid body 300 and the winding portion 400 are pushed in the can axial direction C, the lid body 300 in the winding portion 400 The joint portion with the can barrel 200 is less likely to be pulled in the radial direction R. As a result, the joint between the peripheral edge portion 301 and the flange portion 205 does not peel off, and the sealability of the wound portion 400 can be maintained.

また、巻締部400の径方向Rへの移動を拘束すると、傾斜部204を曲げる際に、巻締部400が傾斜部204の曲げによっては径方向Rに引っ張られにくくなる。また、巻締部400が拘束されることにより、傾斜部204の内周方向への曲げが生じる箇所のずれを抑えることができる。そのため、傾斜部204を所望の形状を有する湾曲部に成形しやすくなり、また、より確実に、巻締部400の下端を湾曲部の下端よりも上方に位置させることができる。  In addition, when the movement of the tightening portion 400 in the radial direction R is restrained, the bending portion 400 is less likely to be pulled in the radial direction R due to the bending of the inclined portion 204 when the inclined portion 204 is bent. In addition, by restraining the winding portion 400, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the portion where the bending of the inclined portion 204 in the inner circumferential direction occurs. Therefore, the inclined portion 204 can be easily formed into a curved portion having a desired shape, and the lower end of the winding tightening portion 400 can be more reliably positioned above the lower end of the curved portion.

以下、本発明の一実施形態に係る缶体の製造方法を実現する製造装置の一例および当該製造方法の一例について説明する。  Hereinafter, an example of a manufacturing device which realizes a method of manufacturing a can according to an embodiment of the present invention and an example of the manufacturing method will be described.

図4A〜図4Cは、本実施形態に係る缶体の製造装置10の構成の一例を示す断面図である。図4Aは製造装置10による押込み成形工程の初期段階を示し、図4Bは当該押込み成形工程の中間段階を示し、図4Cは当該押込み成形工程の最終段階を示す。なお、押込み成形工程の初期段階とは、押込み成形のためのパンチ60をダイ50の円筒軸方向(すなわち缶軸方向C)の上方に押し込む前の段階であり、中間段階とはパンチ60を押込んでいる最中の段階であり、最終段階とはパンチ60が所定距離移動して押込みが完了した状態の段階を意味する。  Drawing 4A-Drawing 4C are sectional views showing an example of composition of manufacturing device 10 of a can concerning this embodiment. FIG. 4A shows an initial stage of the pressing process by the manufacturing apparatus 10, FIG. 4B shows an intermediate stage of the pressing process, and FIG. 4C shows a final stage of the pressing process. The initial stage of the pressing and forming process is the stage before pressing the punch 60 for pressing and forming above the cylindrical axial direction (that is, the can axial direction C) of the die 50, and the intermediate stage is pressing the punch 60. The final stage refers to the stage in which the punch 60 has moved a predetermined distance and the indentation has been completed.

図4Aを参照すると、本実施形態に係る製造装置10は、ダイ50およびパンチ60を備える。  Referring to FIG. 4A, the manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment includes a die 50 and a punch 60.

ダイ50は、例えば、被加工材100の外周を保持する筒状の金型である。ダイ50は、その内部空間に設置された被加工材100の胴体部201、及び肩部202の外周面を拘束することにより、被加工材100を固定する。例えば、被加工材100をダイ50に設置したときに、被加工材100の胴体部201の外周面がダイ50の内周面50Aに当接することにより、被加工材100はダイ50に保持される。これにより、胴体部201の缶軸方向Cおよび径方向Rへの移動が拘束される。ダイ50の形状、構造および機構は特に限定されず、胴体部201の外周面を当接して拘束するものであれば、あらゆる構成が適用され得る。  The die 50 is, for example, a cylindrical mold that holds the outer periphery of the workpiece 100. The die 50 fixes the workpiece 100 by restraining the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 201 and the shoulder portion 202 of the workpiece 100 installed in the inner space thereof. For example, when the workpiece 100 is installed on the die 50, the workpiece 100 is held by the die 50 by the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 201 of the workpiece 100 being in contact with the inner peripheral surface 50A of the die 50. Ru. Thus, the movement of the body portion 201 in the can axial direction C and the radial direction R is restrained. The shape, structure, and mechanism of the die 50 are not particularly limited, and any configuration may be applied as long as the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 201 abuts and is restrained.

パンチ60は、ダイ50により固定された被加工材100の缶底側を押込み成形するための金型である。パンチ60は、ダイ50の内部空間において、ダイ50の円筒軸方向(すなわち缶軸方向C)の一側に配置され、当該円周軸方向に沿って上下方向に移動可能に設けられる。パンチ60は、ダイ50に設置された被加工材100の蓋本体300および巻締部400を缶軸方向Cの上方に押込みながら、傾斜部204を内周方向に直接的または間接的に曲げて、湾曲部を成形する。具体的には、図4Aに示すように、本実施形態に係るパンチ60は缶蓋拘束部61、巻締拘束部62および湾曲成形部63を有し、これらが一体となってパンチ60を形成する。  The punch 60 is a mold for pressing and forming the can bottom side of the workpiece 100 fixed by the die 50. The punch 60 is disposed on one side of the die 50 in the cylindrical axial direction (that is, the can axial direction C) in the internal space of the die 50, and is provided movably in the vertical direction along the circumferential axial direction. The punch 60 bends the inclined portion 204 directly or indirectly in the inner circumferential direction while pushing the lid main body 300 and the tightening portion 400 of the workpiece 100 installed on the die 50 upward in the can axial direction C. , Forming a curved portion. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, the punch 60 according to the present embodiment has a can lid restraint portion 61, a winding clamp restraint portion 62, and a curved shaping portion 63, which together form the punch 60. Do.

缶蓋拘束部61は、蓋本体300の下面に当接可能に設けられる。押込み成形の際、缶蓋拘束部61が蓋本体300と当接することにより、蓋本体300の径方向Rにおけるずれ、および蓋本体300の面外変形を抑制し得る。  The can lid restraint portion 61 is provided to be able to abut on the lower surface of the lid body 300. When the can lid restraint portion 61 abuts on the lid main body 300 at the time of pressing and forming, it is possible to suppress the displacement in the radial direction R of the lid main body 300 and the out-of-plane deformation of the lid main body 300.

缶蓋拘束部61は、パンチ60の上部に被加工材100が設置された場合において蓋本体300に対して当接する部分に設けられる。図4Aに示した例では、缶蓋拘束部61は蓋本体300の全面に対して当接可能となるように設けられているが、本発明はかかる例に限定されない。例えば、中空円筒状の缶蓋拘束部61を用いて、蓋本体300の一部(例えば外側部分)のみに対して缶蓋拘束部61が当接可能に設けられてもよい。また、缶蓋拘束部61の外縁部分は、蓋本体300と巻締部400との境界部分における形状に応じた形状である。例えば、図4Aに示す例では、缶蓋拘束部61の外縁部分は、当該境界部分の曲面形状に沿ったアール形状を形成している。  The can lid restraint portion 61 is provided at a portion that abuts on the lid main body 300 when the workpiece 100 is installed on the upper portion of the punch 60. In the example shown to FIG. 4A, although the can lid restraint part 61 is provided so that contact | abutting may be attained with respect to the whole surface of the lid main body 300, this invention is not limited to this example. For example, using the hollow cylindrical can lid restraint portion 61, the can lid restraint portion 61 may be provided so as to be able to abut on only a part (for example, the outer portion) of the lid main body 300. Further, the outer edge portion of the can lid restraint portion 61 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the boundary portion between the lid main body 300 and the tightening portion 400. For example, in the example shown to FIG. 4A, the outer edge part of the can lid restraint part 61 forms the round shape along the curved surface shape of the said boundary part.

巻締拘束部62は、缶蓋拘束部61の外周側に設けられ、巻締部400を収容可能な環状の凹部を形成している。図4Aに示すように、押込み成形の際、巻締部400が巻締拘束部62の凹部に収容されることにより、巻締部400の径方向Rへの移動が拘束される。パンチ60において巻締拘束部62の凹部が設けられる位置は、巻締部400に対向する位置であり、被加工材100における巻締部400の径方向Rにおける加工位置に応じて適宜調整され得る。巻締部400の直径の好ましい範囲については、後述する。  The winding clamp restraint portion 62 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the can lid restraint portion 61, and forms an annular recess capable of accommodating the winding clamp portion 400. As shown in FIG. 4A, when the pressing and forming process is performed, the winding clamping unit 400 is accommodated in the recess of the winding clamping restraint unit 62, whereby movement of the winding clamping unit 400 in the radial direction R is restrained. The position where the concave portion of the winding restraint portion 62 is provided in the punch 60 is a position facing the winding restraint portion 400, and can be appropriately adjusted according to the processing position in the radial direction R of the winding restraint portion 400 in the workpiece 100 . The preferable range of the diameter of the winding portion 400 will be described later.

巻締拘束部62の凹部の幅は、巻締め加工により形成される巻締部400の径方向Rにおける幅と略同一となるように適宜調整され得る。これにより、巻締部400の径方向Rの移動の拘束をより確実にすることができる。また、巻締拘束部62の凹部の深さは特に限定されないが、巻締部400を確実に凹部に収容するためには、当該凹部の深さは、蓋本体300から巻締部400の下端までの長さ以上であることが好ましい。これにより、巻締部400近傍における蓋本体300の成形不良をより確実に起こさないようにすることが可能となる。また、巻締拘束部62の凹部の底は設けられなくてもよい。  The width of the recess of the winding restraint portion 62 may be appropriately adjusted to be substantially the same as the width in the radial direction R of the winding portion 400 formed by the winding process. Thereby, the restraint of the movement of the tightening portion 400 in the radial direction R can be made more reliable. Although the depth of the recess of the winding restraint portion 62 is not particularly limited, the depth of the recess is from the lid main body 300 to the lower end of the winding restraint 400 in order to reliably accommodate the winding closure 400 in the recess. It is preferable that the length is equal to or greater than the length. As a result, it becomes possible to prevent the occurrence of molding defects of the lid main body 300 in the vicinity of the crimped portion 400 more reliably. Further, the bottom of the recess of the winding restraint portion 62 may not be provided.

湾曲成形部63は、巻締拘束部62の外周側であって、ダイ50の内周面50Aの内周側に設けられる部分である。湾曲成形部63は、曲げられた傾斜部204に当接して缶軸方向Cの下方に突出する湾曲部24を成形するための成形面63Aを有する。すなわち、成形面63Aは、湾曲部24に応じた湾曲形状を有する環状溝であり、成形面63Aの断面形状は、下方に突出するように湾曲する形状を有する。  The curved forming portion 63 is a portion provided on the outer peripheral side of the winding restraint portion 62 and on the inner peripheral side of the inner peripheral surface 50A of the die 50. The curved forming portion 63 has a forming surface 63A for forming the curved portion 24 that abuts on the bent inclined portion 204 and protrudes downward in the can axial direction C. That is, the molding surface 63A is an annular groove having a curved shape corresponding to the curved portion 24, and the cross-sectional shape of the molding surface 63A has a curved shape so as to protrude downward.

パンチ60が被加工材100に当接した状態で缶軸方向Cの上方に押し込まれるとき、傾斜部204の一部において上方に座屈する曲げ変形が生じる。当該曲げが生じる箇所は、湾曲成形部63の巻締拘束部62との境界近傍の部分に対して当接する箇所となる場合もあり得る。傾斜部204の曲げが生じる箇所の外周側の部分は、パンチ60の上方への押込みにつれて、当該曲げが生じる箇所よりも下方に相対的に突出する。その後、下方に突出した傾斜部204の外周側の部分は、成形面63Aに対して当接し、成形面63Aに沿って変形して湾曲した形状となる。これにより、缶体1の湾曲部24が形成される。  When the punch 60 is pushed upward in the can axial direction C in a state in which the punch 60 abuts on the workpiece 100, a bending deformation that causes the upward buckling occurs in a part of the inclined portion 204. The portion where the bending occurs may be a portion that abuts against a portion near the boundary between the curved and molded portion 63 and the winding restraint portion 62. The portion on the outer peripheral side of the bending portion of the inclined portion 204 relatively protrudes downward below the bending portion as the punch 60 is pushed upward. Thereafter, the portion on the outer peripheral side of the inclined portion 204 that protrudes downward abuts against the molding surface 63A, and is deformed along the molding surface 63A to form a curved shape. Thereby, the curved part 24 of the can 1 is formed.

なお、図4Aに示すように、湾曲成形部63の成形面63Aにおける湾曲部分の深さH (缶蓋成形部61の上面から成形面63Aの下端までの缶軸方向Cにおける長さ)は、被加工材100の巻締部400の缶軸方向Cの長さHよりも大きい。これにより、成形後の缶体1において、巻締部4の下端が湾曲部24の下端24Aよりも缶軸方向Cにおける上方に位置することとなる。  In addition, as shown to FIG. 4A, depth H of the curved part in the molding surface 63A of the curve shaping | molding part 63 A(The length in the can axial direction C from the upper surface of the can lid forming portion 61 to the lower end of the forming surface 63A) is the length H of the can axial direction C of the crimped portion 400 of the workpiece 100BGreater than. Thereby, in the can 1 after shaping | molding, the lower end of the winding fastening part 4 will be located above the lower end 24A of the curved part 24 in the can axial direction C.

また、成形面63Aの形状および大きさは、傾斜部204の高さ(胴体部201の下端から蓋本体300までの缶軸方向Cにおける長さ、すなわち縮径部分の長さ)、または巻締部400の位置および大きさ等に応じて適宜設計され得る。  Further, the shape and size of the forming surface 63A is the height of the inclined portion 204 (the length in the can axial direction C from the lower end of the body portion 201 to the lid main body 300, ie, the length of the reduced diameter portion) It may be appropriately designed according to the position, size, etc. of the part 400.

次に、図4A〜図4Cを参照しながら、製造装置10を用いた押込み成形工程について説明する。  Next, with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C, a description will be given of the pressing and forming process using the manufacturing apparatus 10.

まず、図4Aに示す押込み成形工程の初期段階では、ダイ50により胴体部201を拘束して被加工材100を固定し、パンチ60に蓋本体300を載置する。このとき、蓋本体300は缶蓋拘束部61に対して当接し、巻締部400は巻締拘束部62に収容された状態となる。なお、湾曲成形部63は、押込み成形工程の初期段階においては傾斜部204と当接していなくてもよい。  First, in the initial stage of the pressing and forming process shown in FIG. 4A, the body portion 201 is restrained by the die 50 to fix the workpiece 100, and the lid main body 300 is placed on the punch 60. At this time, the lid main body 300 abuts against the can lid restraint portion 61, and the winding tightening portion 400 is accommodated in the winding tightening restraint portion 62. In addition, the curve shaping | molding part 63 does not need to be contact | abutted with the inclination part 204 in the initial stage of a pushing forming process.

次に、図4Bに示す押込み成形工程の中間段階では、パンチ60がダイ50の内周面50Aに沿って缶軸方向Cの上方へ移動し、蓋本体300および巻締部400を上方に押し込みつつ、傾斜部204の曲げ加工を行う。このとき、図4Bに示すように、例えば、傾斜部204における湾曲成形部63との当接箇所が、湾曲成形部63による押込みにより、上方に屈曲して曲げられ得る。  Next, at an intermediate stage of the pressing and forming process shown in FIG. 4B, the punch 60 moves upward along the inner circumferential surface 50A of the die 50 in the can axial direction C, and pushes the lid body 300 and the winding clamp 400 upward. At the same time, bending of the inclined portion 204 is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4B, for example, the contact portion of the inclined portion 204 with the curved forming portion 63 may be bent upward by being pushed in by the curved forming portion 63.

この押込み成形工程の中間段階においては、蓋本体300および巻締部400の径方向Rの移動がそれぞれ缶蓋拘束部61および巻締拘束部62により拘束されている。そうすると、巻締部400を拘束しつつ巻締部400が上方に変位することにより、傾斜部204に面内方向の圧縮力が生じる。これにより、当該傾斜部204が屈曲した箇所において座屈が生じ得る。すなわち、傾斜部204の曲げ変形は、パンチ60による傾斜部204に対する直接的な曲げではなく、巻締部400の拘束による傾斜部204に対する面内方向への圧縮力による座屈により生じ得る。そうすると、巻締部400には、傾斜部204からの反力がかかるため、径方向Rの引張力がかかりにくくなる。よって、巻締部400の接合部分の剥離を抑制し、巻締部400のシール性を維持することができる。なお、傾斜部204における座屈(すなわち曲げ変形)は、図4Bに示すような湾曲成形部63との当接箇所ではなく、他の箇所においても生じることもある。  At an intermediate stage of the pressing and forming process, the movement in the radial direction R of the lid main body 300 and the winding clamp portion 400 is restrained by the can lid restraint portion 61 and the winding clamp restraint portion 62, respectively. Then, an in-plane compressive force is generated in the inclined portion 204 by displacing the winding portion 400 upward while restraining the winding portion 400. Thereby, a buckling may occur at a location where the inclined portion 204 is bent. That is, the bending deformation of the inclined portion 204 can occur not by direct bending of the inclined portion 204 by the punch 60 but by buckling due to compressive force in the in-plane direction with respect to the inclined portion 204 due to the restraint of the winding clamp 400. Then, since a reaction force from the inclined portion 204 is applied to the tightening portion 400, a tensile force in the radial direction R is unlikely to be applied. Therefore, peeling of the joint portion of the rolled portion 400 can be suppressed, and the sealability of the wound portion 400 can be maintained. In addition, the buckling (that is, bending deformation) in the inclined portion 204 may occur not only at the contact portion with the curved shaped portion 63 as shown in FIG. 4B but also at other portions.

そして、図4Cに示す押込み成形工程の最終段階では、パンチ60の湾曲成形部63の成形面63Aに沿って、傾斜部204が下方に突出して湾曲した形状に変形する。かかる湾曲形状は、傾斜部204の曲げ変形が生じた箇所よりも外周側の部分において形成される。かかる変形後の傾斜部204が、缶体1における湾曲部24となる。この最終段階においては、巻締部400の下端が、傾斜部204から成形される湾曲部24の下端よりも缶軸方向Cにおける上方となる位置まで、パンチ60が缶底側から上方に押し込まれる。これにより、押込み成形工程後に得られる缶体1において、缶体1を平坦面上に載置した場合に湾曲部24により巻締部4が外部から視認されない状態となり得る。  Then, at the final stage of the pressing and forming process shown in FIG. 4C, the inclined portion 204 projects downward and is deformed into a curved shape along the forming surface 63A of the curved and formed portion 63 of the punch 60. Such a curved shape is formed at a portion on the outer peripheral side of the portion where the bending deformation of the inclined portion 204 occurs. The inclined portion 204 after such deformation becomes the curved portion 24 in the can 1. In this final step, the punch 60 is pushed upward from the bottom of the can to a position where the lower end of the tightening portion 400 is higher in the can axial direction C than the lower end of the curved portion 24 formed from the inclined portion 204 . Thereby, in the can 1 obtained after the pressing and forming step, when the can 1 is placed on the flat surface, the winding portion 4 may not be visually recognized from the outside by the curved portion 24.

なお、押込み成形工程の最終段階におけるパンチ60の最終位置は、押し込まれた巻締部4の下端と成形された湾曲部24の下端との間の缶軸方向Cにおける距離が0.5mm以上となる位置であることが好ましい。上述したように、距離Hが0.5mm以上であれば、湾曲部24の形状に関わらず、巻締部4を確実に遮蔽し、缶体1の外観に巻締部4の構成を含まないようにすることがより確実に可能となる。  The final position of the punch 60 at the final stage of the pressing and forming process is such that the distance in the can axial direction C between the lower end of the pressed clamping portion 4 and the lower end of the formed curved portion 24 is 0.5 mm or more Position is preferable. As described above, when the distance H is 0.5 mm or more, regardless of the shape of the curved portion 24, the winding tightening unit 4 is reliably shielded, and the configuration of the winding tightening unit 4 is not included in the appearance of the can 1. It becomes possible to do so more reliably.

以上の押込み成形工程を経て、巻締部4が湾曲部24の内周側に、かつ巻締部4の下端が湾曲部24の下端よりも缶軸方向Cにおける上方に位置する構成を有する缶体1を製造することができる。  A can having a configuration in which the winding tightening portion 4 is positioned on the inner peripheral side of the bending portion 24 and the lower end of the winding tightening portion 4 is positioned above the lower end of the bending portion 24 in the can axial direction C Body 1 can be manufactured.

なお、パンチ60を形成する缶蓋拘束部61、巻締拘束部62および湾曲成形部63の構成は、図4A〜図4Cに記載した構成に限定されない。これらの構成は、成形加工の対象である被加工材100の蓋本体300、巻締部400および傾斜部204の位置、大きさおよび形状等に基づいて適宜設計され得る。  In addition, the structure of the can lid restraint part 61 which forms the punch 60, the winding clamp restraint part 62, and the curve shaping part 63 is not limited to the structure described in FIG. 4A-FIG. 4C. These configurations can be appropriately designed based on the position, size, shape, and the like of the lid main body 300, the winding clamp portion 400, and the inclined portion 204 of the workpiece 100 to be molded.

また、本発明者らがさらなる検討をした結果、巻締部400の直径(図4Aに示すような、缶軸から巻締部400の根元における缶胴200と蓋本体300とが接触する位置までの長さの2倍)が所定の大きさである場合、押込み成形による成形不良をより確実に抑制することができることを見出した。具体的には、胴体部201の缶径(胴体部201の外周面の直径)をDとし、巻締部400の直径をDとした場合に、下記式(1)を満たすことが好ましい。D≧0.75×Dであれば、傾斜部204の縮径加工による加工硬化の影響に伴うしわの発生も抑制できる。また、縮径加工の工程数を少なくすることができ、コストの観点からも有利である。さらに、D≦0.88×Dであれば、傾斜部204の曲げ変形の際に巻締部400と傾斜部204とが物理的に干渉することを抑制することができ、巻締部400と傾斜部204とが擦れて疵を生じさせることがなく、かつ、湾曲部24の成形精度を向上させることができる。Further, as a result of the inventors further studying, the diameter of the winding portion 400 (as shown in FIG. 4A, from the can axis to the position where the can barrel 200 and the lid main body 300 at the root of the winding portion 400 contact It has been found that when the length of (2) is a predetermined size, molding defects due to indentation molding can be suppressed more reliably. Specifically, Kan径of the body portion 201 (the diameter of the outer circumferential surface of the body 201) and D 1, the diameter of the seaming portion 400 when the D 2, it is preferable to satisfy the following formula (1) . If D 2 0.750.75 × D 1, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of wrinkles due to the influence of work hardening due to the diameter reduction processing of the inclined portion 204. In addition, the number of processes of diameter reduction processing can be reduced, which is advantageous from the viewpoint of cost. Furthermore, if D 2 ≦ 0.88 × D 1 , physical interference between the wound portion 400 and the inclined portion 204 can be suppressed during bending deformation of the inclined portion 204, and the wound portion 400 and the inclined portion 204 do not rub against each other to cause wrinkles, and the forming accuracy of the curved portion 24 can be improved.

以上、本実施形態に係る缶体1の製造方法および製造装置10について説明した。  In the above, the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus 10 of the can 1 which concern on this embodiment were demonstrated.

次に、本発明の実施例について説明する。本発明の効果を確認するために、本実施例では、上記実施形態に係る製造方法および製造装置10により製造される缶体1の性能について検証した。なお、以下の実施例は本発明の効果を検証するために行ったものに過ぎず、本発明が以下の実施例に限定されるものではない。  Next, examples of the present invention will be described. In order to confirm the effects of the present invention, in this example, the performance of the can 1 manufactured by the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the above embodiment was verified. The following examples are merely for verifying the effects of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

本実施例では、上記実施形態に係る製造方法および製造装置10を用いて被加工材100の巻締部400が缶底側から上方に押し込まれた後に得られる、缶体1の巻締部4の外部視認性、接合部分の剥離、および湾曲部24の成形性を評価し、本製造方法および製造装置10の有効性を示す。かかる評価において、巻締部4の外部視認性は、成形後の缶体1を平坦面上に載置した際における、缶体1の外部からの巻締部4の視認の可否により判定された。巻締部4の接合部分の剥離の有無は、巻締部4の缶蓋3と缶胴2との接合部分の剥離が観察されたか否かにより判定された。また、湾曲部24の成形性は、湾曲部24に生じた疵またはしわ等の有無により判定された。  In the present embodiment, the rolled-up portion 4 of the can 1 obtained after the rolled-up portion 400 of the workpiece 100 is pushed upward from the can bottom side by using the manufacturing method and the manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the above embodiment. The external visibility, the peeling of the joint portion, and the formability of the curved portion 24 are evaluated, and the effectiveness of the present manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus 10 is shown. In this evaluation, the external visibility of the rolled-up portion 4 was determined by the possibility of visual recognition of the rolled-up portion 4 from the outside of the can 1 when the formed can 1 was placed on a flat surface. . The presence or absence of peeling of the bonded portion of the crimped portion 4 was determined based on whether peeling of the bonded portion of the can lid 3 and the can body 2 of the rolled portion 4 was observed. Further, the formability of the curved portion 24 was determined based on the presence or absence of wrinkles or wrinkles or the like generated in the curved portion 24.

試験条件および評価結果を以下の表1に示す。試験条件として、用いたパンチの構成、被加工材100の胴体部201の缶径D(mm)および巻締部400の直径D(mm)、および缶径Dに対する巻締部400の直径Dの比率D/D、並びに傾斜部204の高さH(mm)が用いられた。ここで、傾斜部204の高さHは、上述したように、胴体部201の下端から蓋本体300までの缶軸方向Cにおける長さ、すなわち缶軸方向Cにおける縮径部分の長さである。かかる試験条件を満たすパンチおよび被加工材から成形される缶体についての、巻締部の外部視認性および剥離の有無、並びに湾曲部の成形性の評価を行った。なお、各実施例および比較例で用いられた被加工材100を構成する缶胴200および蓋本体300の板厚は、それぞれ0.35mmとした。また、被加工材100の材質は軟鋼板であるJIS G3303のT2とした。The test conditions and the evaluation results are shown in Table 1 below. As test conditions, the configuration of the punch used, the seaming portion 400 for Kan径D 1 (mm) and the diameter D 2 of the seaming portion 400 (mm), and Kan径D 1 of the body portion 201 of the workpiece 100 The ratio D 2 / D 1 of diameter D 2 as well as the height H S (mm) of the ramp 204 were used. Here, as described above, the height H S of the inclined portion 204 is the length in the can axial direction C from the lower end of the body portion 201 to the lid main body 300, that is, the length of the reduced diameter portion in the can axial direction C is there. The external visibility and the presence or absence of peeling of the crimped portion and the formability of the curved portion were evaluated for the punch and the can formed from the workpiece satisfying the test conditions. The plate thicknesses of the can barrel 200 and the lid main body 300 that constitute the workpiece 100 used in each of the examples and the comparative examples were each 0.35 mm. The material of the workpiece 100 is T2 of JIS G3303 which is a mild steel plate.

なお、実施例1〜5においては、図4Aに示すパンチ60を用いて被加工材100に対して押込み成形を行った。缶蓋拘束部61、巻締拘束部62および湾曲成形部63は、胴体部201の缶径D、巻締部400の直径Dおよび傾斜部204の高さH等に応じて、蓋本体300が缶蓋拘束部61に対して当接可能となるように、巻締部400が巻締拘束部62に収容可能となるように、また、傾斜部204が湾曲成形部63の成形面63Aに沿って変形可能となるように、適宜設計された。In Examples 1 to 5, pressing was performed on the workpiece 100 using the punch 60 shown in FIG. 4A. The can lid restraint portion 61, the winding tightening restraint portion 62, and the curved shaping portion 63 are lids according to the can diameter D 1 of the body portion 201, the diameter D 2 of the winding tightening portion 400, the height H S of the inclined portion 204, etc. In order to allow the main body 300 to be in contact with the can lid restraint portion 61, the inclined portion 204 can be housed in the shaping surface of the curved shaping portion 63 so that the winding portion 400 can be accommodated in the winding restraint portion 62. It was designed appropriately so as to be deformable along 63A.

また、比較例1〜3においては、図5に示すパンチ600を用いて被加工材100に対して押込み成形を行った。図5に示すパンチ600は、成形面601Aを有する湾曲成形部601のみからなる。すなわち、かかるパンチ600を用いた場合は、傾斜部204に対して湾曲成形部601により直接的に曲げ加工がなされ得る。また、比較例4においては、図6に示すパンチ610を用いて被加工材100に対して押込み成形を行った。図6に示すパンチ610は、缶蓋拘束部611のみからなる。すなわち、かかるパンチ610を用いた場合は、蓋本体300が缶底側から上方に押込まれることにより、傾斜部204において曲げ変形が生じ得る。  Moreover, in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, pressing was performed on the workpiece 100 using the punch 600 shown in FIG. 5. The punch 600 shown in FIG. 5 comprises only a curved forming portion 601 having a forming surface 601A. That is, when such a punch 600 is used, bending processing can be performed directly on the sloped portion 204 by the curved shaping portion 601. Moreover, in the comparative example 4, pressing-forming was performed with respect to the to-be-processed material 100 using the punch 610 shown in FIG. The punch 610 shown in FIG. 6 consists only of the can lid restraint part 611. That is, when the punch 610 is used, bending deformation may occur in the inclined portion 204 by the lid main body 300 being pushed upward from the can bottom side.

表1を参照しながら、評価結果について説明する。実施例1〜5に係る成形後の缶体1については、缶体1を平坦面上に載置した時に、巻締部4は外部から視認されず、さらに、巻締部4の接合部分の剥離が確認されずシール性が維持されていることが確認された。実施例1においては、缶体1の湾曲部24に多少しわが観察されたものの、缶底側に形成されたものであるので、缶体1を平坦面上に載置した時には、しわは視認されなかった。実施例2〜5においては、缶体1の湾曲部24にはしわおよび疵が観察されず、また、湾曲部24が成形面63Aに対応する形状を形成していたことが確認された。  The evaluation results will be described with reference to Table 1. About the can 1 after shaping | molding which concerns on Examples 1-5, when the can 1 is mounted on a flat surface, the clamp part 4 is not visually recognized from the outside, Furthermore, in the joint part of the clamp part 4, It was confirmed that peeling was not confirmed and sealing performance was maintained. In Example 1, although some creases were observed in the curved portion 24 of the can 1, the creases were visually recognized when the can 1 was placed on a flat surface because it was formed on the can bottom side. It was not done. In Examples 2 to 5, no wrinkles and wrinkles were observed in the curved portion 24 of the can 1, and it was also confirmed that the curved portion 24 formed a shape corresponding to the molding surface 63A.

なお、実施例3〜5の評価結果によれば、傾斜部204の高さHに関わらず、成形性に優れた缶体1が得られることが確認された。According to the evaluation results of Examples 3 to 5, it was confirmed that the can 1 having excellent formability can be obtained regardless of the height H S of the inclined portion 204.

一方、比較例1〜3に係る成形後の缶体1については、いずれも、缶体1を平坦面上に載置した時において、巻締部4が外部から視認され、巻締部4の接合部分の剥離が確認され、また、湾曲部24の成形が不十分であった。これは、湾曲成形部601により直接的に傾斜部204が曲げ加工されることから、巻締部4が径方向Rに引っ張られて接合部分の剥離が生じていたものと考えられる。また、傾斜部204の曲げが生じる箇所が安定せず、巻締部4が缶底側から上方に向かって十分押し込まれなかったため、湾曲部24の成形精度が低く、缶体1を平坦面に上載置した時に巻締部4が露出していたと考えられる。  On the other hand, with regard to the can 1 after forming according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3, in any case, when the can 1 is placed on the flat surface, the winding tightening portion 4 is visually recognized from the outside. Peeling of the joint portion was confirmed, and the shaping of the curved portion 24 was insufficient. This is considered to be because the wound portion 4 is pulled in the radial direction R and the peeling of the bonded portion occurs because the inclined portion 204 is directly bent by the curved formed portion 601. Moreover, since the location where the bending of the inclined part 204 occurs is not stable, and the clamping part 4 is not sufficiently pushed upward from the can bottom side, the forming accuracy of the curved part 24 is low, making the can 1 into a flat surface It is considered that the winding portion 4 was exposed when placed on top.

さらに、比較例4に係る缶体1においては、巻締部400の接合部分の剥離は、比較例1〜3に係る缶体1と比較して目立たなかったものの、一部に観察された。また、巻締部400と曲げられた傾斜部204が干渉しており、巻締部4が押し込まれず、缶体1の平坦面上載置時に露出していた。このことから、缶蓋拘束部611のみにより蓋本体300を押し込んだことにより、巻締部400の拘束および傾斜部204の曲げ変形の制御が不十分であったものと考えられる。  Furthermore, in the can 1 which concerns on the comparative example 4, although peeling of the joining part of the crimp part 400 was inconspicuous compared with the can 1 which concerns on Comparative Examples 1-3, it was observed in part. In addition, the crimped portion 400 and the bent inclined portion 204 interfere with each other, and the crimped portion 4 is not pushed in, and is exposed at the time of placing on the flat surface of the can 1. From this, it is considered that the control of the restraint of the winding portion 400 and the control of the bending deformation of the inclined portion 204 is insufficient by pushing the lid main body 300 only by the can lid restraint portion 611.

本実施例から、巻締部4のシール性を維持しつつ、巻締部4が外部から視認されない缶体1を製造するためには、被加工材100の蓋本体300に対して当接して拘束する缶蓋拘束部61、巻締部400を収容して径方向Rの移動を拘束する巻締拘束部62、および曲げ変形した傾斜部204を下方に突出した湾曲形状に成形する成形面63Aを有する湾曲成形部63を備えるパンチ60を用いて、被加工材100の缶底側から上方に被加工材100を押込むことが有効であることが示された。また、巻締部400の外径Dを胴体部201の外径Dに対して所定の範囲の大きさとすることにより、湾曲部24の成形性を向上させることが可能であることが示された。From this embodiment, in order to manufacture the can 1 in which the tightening portion 4 is not visually recognized from the outside while maintaining the sealing performance of the tightening portion 4, the lid body 300 abuts against the lid main body 300 of the workpiece 100 A can lid restraining portion 61 for restraining, a winding restraining portion 62 for accommodating the winding tightening portion 400 and restraining movement in the radial direction R, and a forming surface 63A for forming the bent portion 204 into a curved shape projecting downward It has been shown that it is effective to push the workpiece 100 upward from the can bottom side of the workpiece 100 using the punch 60 provided with the curved forming portion 63 having the following. Further, with the magnitude of the predetermined range an outer diameter D 2 of the seaming portion 400 to the outer diameter D 1 of the body portion 201, it is possible to improve the moldability of the bending portion 24 shown It was done.

以上、添付図面を参照しながら本発明の好適な実施形態について詳細に説明したが、本発明はかかる例に限定されない。本発明の属する技術の分野における通常の知識を有する者であれば、特許請求の範囲に記載された技術的思想の範疇内において、各種の変更例または修正例に想到し得ることは明らかであり、これらについても、当然に本発明の技術的範囲に属するものと了解される。  Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to such examples. It is obvious that those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs can conceive of various changes or modifications within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims. Of course, it is understood that these also fall within the technical scope of the present invention.

For example, the can may be a substantially cylindrical can. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the can body 1 presupposed that it is a can manufactured by DI shaping | molding, this invention is not limited to this example. For example, the can may be a can produced by DR molding or may be a so-called three-piece can. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the can 1 was demonstrated as what is applied to a beverage can, the application object of this invention will not be limited if it is a can which fills and hold | maintains a content inside. That is, if the can bottom of a can is formed by winding by a can lid, the present invention is applicable to any can regardless of the material, use of the can, size and forming method.
