Description of the invention (Scope of the invention The present invention relates to a container including a ventilating device. Please read the note on the back of δ. I r I Background of the invention of the page mounting invention The container deforms in response to the pressure difference between the pressure in the closed container and the surrounding pressure The problem is well known in the packaging industry. This kind of container deformation is irreversible in some container materials, such as certain plastics or metals. Thin-walled flexible containers are particularly sensitive to this problem. Multiple factors of the pressure difference between the external parties. For example, the contents of the container may be chemically unstable, or may be subject to reaction with gases that may be in the head space of the container, or in certain specific cases, may interact with the container material The reaction itself occurs. Any chemical reactant involving the liquid contents can cause gas generation, resulting in excessive pressure in the container, or insufficient pressure in the container due to absorption of any headspace gas. The pressure between the line container pressure and the surrounding atmospheric pressure The pressure difference can also be obvious in the temperature during the filling and sealing of the container and the outside temperature during the transportation and storage. Simultaneous. Another possibility is that the difference between the ambient pressure when the container is filled and another ambient pressure in a different geographic location can cause a difference in force. Several solutions to poor valve systems. The proposed method also involves various vent caps that allow the pressure generated in the container to be released by gas escape. For example, FR-A-2 259 026, US-4 136 796 And DE-A-2 509 258 discloses an automatic vented closed container including a gas-permeable membrane covering an outer hole. The membrane is made of a liquid-impermeable but gas-permeable material. Therefore, the container may include a gas released to the outside Square without loss of non-leakage holes. Another example is EP-A-593 840, Jie-4-This paper scale is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) Employees' Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (2) Shows a container containing a pressure-generating liquid. The container is made of a thermoplastic material including a microchannel network. This microchannel network is permeable to gas but not Permeate liquid. It has been found that if a liquid product contacts these membranes or the end of a microchannel, the membrane can lose at least part of its gas permeability. Specifically, it includes solid particles such as carbonates, percarbonates, and / Or the liquid product of perborate may not be completely discharged from the diaphragm to respond to the container. On the contrary, it is found that the micropores of the diaphragm are blocked by these solid particles precipitated from the liquid. In this case, the container may lose its ventilation capacity. Loss of ventilation The capacity causes the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the container that can deform the container. When a filled container is disturbed during transportation, the product splashes on the diaphragm can cause contact between the product and the diaphragm. The transportation process was found to be The splash that occurs normally in the medium is sufficient to completely interrupt the ventilation capacity of the container. Another way the product can reach the septum is to store the container upside down. It was further discovered that other ventilation systems, such as valves, can also have the same disadvantages. As mentioned earlier, one of the important parameters that affects the membrane's ventilating ability is that the product contacting the membrane can precipitate out some solid particles suspended in the product. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a container for containing a liquid product containing solid particles. The container is vented by a ventilating device, thereby actually reducing the precipitation of solid particles from the liquid product to the venting device. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a container for containing a liquid product. The container is vented to the liquid product by a venting device. When the pressure inside the container is different from the surrounding pressure, the venting device allows gas to pass between the outside and inside of the container. Ventilation device can permeate gas-5- This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 mm) --------- batch clothes --- ^ --- ^ 11 ---- -.

The diaphragm may have a flat surface, at least when viewed grossly. The membrane may also contain a network of microchannels that are permeable to gases but not permeable to fluids, as described in Ep_A_593 840. The diaphragm can be rough, such as-zigzag surface. In this example, the diaphragm is composed of surfaces connected to each other at different slopes from the horizontal direction. Preferably, the diaphragm (22) is made of any material that can be made into a thin layer that can be used to cover the hole (21). The diaphragm must be permeable to the air flow in response to small temperature differences. Better, the diaphragm should allow gas flow down to a pressure difference of 5 X 104 Pa (50 mbar) and more preferably 5 X 10 Pa (5 mbar). The thickness of the diaphragm is optional, but it is preferably in the range of 0.2 mm to 2 mm. The separator can basically include any material that can be made into a thin layer ', such as plastic, low or metal with microporosity. The preferred material for the diaphragm foot includes a microporous plastic film. The micropore size of the diaphragm should allow gas to pass through at a low pressure differential and at the same time provide high liquid impermeability. Preferably, the micropores are in the range of 0.1 m to 5 m, and more preferably 0.2 m to 1 m. The diaphragm should be round. But other shapes such as rectangles, triangles or other shapes can also be used in containers or caps to improve the aesthetics of the container or cap itself. The preferred microporous plastic film for this purpose is:-Non-woven plastic film, especially Du Pont Company Non-woven spun polyethylene film material sold under the trade name TYVEK.

Description of Invention (6)-Gelman Sciences Company, 600, South Wagner Road, Ann Arbor, Ml 48106, US A propylene copolymer cast on a non-woven support (nylon or PET) after treated with a hydrophobic fluorine monomer sold under the name VERSAPOR. The microporous membrane material of the membrane (22) can be treated to reduce its surface energy, and thus improve the fluid impermeability of the membrane material. When the container (10) contains a product containing a surface-active ingredient, it is particularly necessary to reduce the surface energy of the film material to improve its impermeability. Preferably, the specific surface energy of the membrane material should be lower than that of a product containing a surfactant to achieve substantially complete impermeability to the contents of the product. Preferably, the diaphragm (22) has at least one surface of the liquid product in the opposing container which is more hydrophobic than the liquid product. One example of a treatment that provides a reduction in surface energy is a fluorocarbon compound treatment that involves fixing a fluorocarbon compound to the surface of a film material in a micro-scale. Fluorocarbon treatment reduces the sensitivity of the membrane's microporous membrane material to the wetting of liquid contents. For example, a fluorocarbon material that can be used in accordance with the present invention is a fluorocarbon material sold by 3M Company under the trade name SCOTCHBAN. However, when treating a microporous membrane material of a separator according to the present invention, the fluorocarbon treatment should not impair the gas permeability of the separator. According to the present invention, the diaphragm (22) can be added to the inside or outside of the hollow body (11) between the inner container and the hole (21) by any method that maintains its liquid-impermeable and gas-permeable properties. Therefore, the application means may include the use of an adhesive, or heat-sealing the diaphragm over the area surrounding the hole, or mechanical means such as clamping or hot stamping, or embedding the diaphragm when molding the container. As mentioned earlier, the application device used should not significantly reduce the venting capacity of the diaphragm.

In an excellent specific example, the manufacture and configuration of the outer membrane (22) in the outer shell can be achieved by " embedding molding operation ", in which: • a diaphragm is fed into a device, and the diaphragm is made from a roll of diaphragm material Feed it in an advantageous manner; • Cut at least one diaphragm from the piece of the device, and place it in a mold that will be placed in it;-then 'around the diaphragm casing in a manner that fixes the diaphragm in the casing. " After the finger is completed, this step should produce a diaphragm sheath. Both surfaces of the diaphragm can be exposed to air, but the compartment is held in the jacket. The outer jacket can also be made by heat-sealing the diaphragm (22), supersonic sealing or inside a rubber sleeve. In addition, the jacket may be made by mechanically securing the diaphragm between two discrete pieces. The liquid product according to the invention has the characteristics of suspended solids. Liquid is either aqueous or non-aqueous. In non-aqueous liquid products, the amount of water should not be about 5% by weight of the liquid product, and more preferably less than about 1 weight of the liquid product.

Invention Note (8) The best is about 0.5 Pa.s (500 cps) to 3 Pa.s (3000 cps). For the purposes of this invention, the viscosity is measured at a temperature of about 20 ° C using a Brookfield Viscometer using a 50 rpm RV # 5 mandrel. When the contained liquid product touches the diaphragm (22), the ventilation performance of the ventilation device can be substantially reduced. And, to put it in a nutshell, this happens when the liquid product contains solid particles suspended in it. The solid particles according to the present invention are selected from the group consisting of carbonates, percarbonates, perborates, acid salts and mixtures of the foregoing. As explained earlier, the diaphragm is the most exposed part of the ventilation device to the contained product. The contact between the product in the container and the diaphragm can mainly occur due to splashes caused by agitating the container during transportation. The "spatter" used in this description refers to the non-connection of the liquid substance to a surface when the liquid in the container is agitated. , Brief contact. The containment of liquid product spills occurs mainly during the transfer process, which is more likely to agitate the container. It has been found that when a liquid product containing suspended solid particles comes in contact with the diaphragm (22), the diaphragm can lose its gas permeability. The solid particles suspended in a liquid product according to the present invention can be precipitated from the product and deposited on a membrane. In this case, the diaphragm or a part thereof may be covered by solid particles precipitated from the liquid product, that is, the ventilation performance of the diaphragm is due to the clogging of a part of the diaphragm by the solid particles according to the present invention that do not leave the diaphragm after precipitation from the liquid And reduced. As a result, the ventilation capacity of the container is reduced or lost. The contact between the contained liquid product and the diaphragm (22) occurs mainly during the transportation of the container. When the container is disturbed, the liquid product splashes on the inner diaphragm of the container. It is found that the splash that generally occurs during transportation is sufficient to completely block the ventilation capacity of the container. Another situation where the product can contact the diaphragm is storage upside down-11-This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) I: ------- install ---'-- ^- Order ------ line--ί (please read the notes on the back Η: write this page) --f 、 __________ Printed on paper standards of the China National Standards Administration (CNS) A4 Specifications (210X297 mm) A7 ~~ ----- B7 V. Description of the invention (9) '--When the container. It was further found that other ventilation systems, such as valves, have the same disadvantages. One possible method of removing spattered products from the membrane is to scrape the surface of the membrane with the product spattered. It was found that after the splattered product was scraped off the surface of the diaphragm, the recovery of the diaphragm's ventilation capacity was sufficient to prevent significant container deformation. Surface scraping can be achieved, for example, with a device in the form of a shovel. However, this method of solving the problems of the present invention has two main disadvantages. First, the scraping action must be performed by the user's hands, which is unsuitable 'or by a complicated and expensive mechanical movement device in the container. Secondly, the action of scraping the spattered product from the diaphragm may damage the diaphragm ', especially the liquid-impermeable property of the diaphragm, which is easily lost by the shaving. Second, if the micropores on the surface of the diaphragm are blocked, the scraping effect is also ineffective. The international patent application PCT / US 96/01610, which is also in the examination process, provides a container with a ventilation device including a protective device. The protective device protects the ventilation device from splashing products, for example, having a wall disposed between the product and the ventilation device. All specific examples of protection devices described in the international patent application PCT / US 96/01610 are cited in this description for reference. Alternatively, European Patent Application No. 95104281.1, which is also in the examination process, provides a container in which the spattered product without any scraping effect of the venting device is automatically discharged from the venting device. The method includes positioning the ventilating device in an inclined or vertical plane with a plane supporting the container in an upright position, as shown in FIG. 1b. In another way, the device includes a venting device (23) connected to the venting device and extending, As shown in Figure lc. The discharge device may also be inclined or orthogonal to the plane supporting the container in the upright position. The aforementioned international and European patent applications under review can be used for containers according to the present invention, -12- * ---. ^ Gutter (please read the notes on the back 1 ^; write this page} 5. Description of the invention (10) A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to prevent a decrease in the ventilation capacity of the ventilation device. Specific examples of the discharge device described in the aforementioned European Patent Application 95104281.1 are cited in this description for reference. It was found that the loss of ventilation capacity It depends on the tendency of the suspended solid particles to precipitate from the liquid product in the diaphragm and reduce the ventilation capacity. The main factor that determines the retention direction of the suspended solid particles from the liquid product is the maximum particle size of the solid particles. If the suspended solid particles in the liquid product When the maximum particle size is greater than 400 μιη, solid particles settle on the diaphragm from the liquid product before the splashed product is discharged back into the container. The solid particles precipitated from the liquid product can block the diaphragm and reduce the breathability of the diaphragm itself. If suspended in the liquid product When the maximum size of the solid particles is less than about 400 μm, most of the solid particles remain suspended in the liquid. Until the liquid product is returned to the container. Therefore, according to the present invention, the maximum particle size of the solid particles suspended in the liquid product is less than about 400 μm, preferably less than about 200 μm, and more preferably less than about 150 μπι, preferably less than about 100 μιη. In order to obtain solid particles with reduced maximum particle size, these solid particles can be sieved and / or ground, and then the solid particles with reduced maximum particle size according to the present invention are added to Liquid products. · The above examples are shown by the following examples.

The following is a test of the air permeability of the diaphragm after measuring the liquid products of the above specific examples. As shown in Figures 2a to 2c, a diaphragm of Versapor® V800R closes the open end of the cylindrical tube (41). The diaphragm includes an inner surface (42) facing the inside of the cylindrical tube, and an opposite outer surface (43) located entirely outside the cylindrical tube. The liquid product (44) is repeatedly splashed on the diaphragm to keep the liquid product inside. Table-15- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm).

Description of the invention (u) A7 B7 Printed on the surface of the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economy for 1 minute. Then, invert the inner surface downward, and let the liquid product splashed out of the diaphragm for 24 hours. Finally, after 24 hours of venting, the bubble pressure method was used to measure the ventilation pressure. The above "bubble point method" includes the following steps:-placing a thin layer of water on the outer surface (43) of the diaphragm at the open end of the closed cylindrical tube (41);-increasing the pressure in the tube at a rate of 100 mbar per minute -Record the pressure when the bubble passes through the diaphragm. The detected pressure is the above-mentioned ventilation pressure. The pressure of the bubble point meter is related to the ventilation capacity of the ventilation device. The higher the measured pressure, the lower the ventilation capacity. Conversely, the lower the gauge pressure, the higher the ventilation capacity. The following table shows the results of the ventilation capacity meter for liquid products of Examples I to IV. Example I > 200 mbar Example II > 200 mbar Example III 30-60 mbar Example IV 30-60 mbar As can be seen from the table above, the liquid products of Examples I and II containing solid particles with a maximum particle size greater than 400 am show a substantially reduced bottoming capacity. However, the maximum particle size of solid particles is reduced according to the present invention At the time, such as examples III and IV, fully maintain the diaphragm's ventilation capacity. -16-This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X 297 mm) Please read the note at the back first r I Binding
