密封容器の検査方法及び内容物入り密封容器製品の製造方法 技術分野  Inspection method of sealed container and method of manufacturing sealed container product with contents
[0001] 本発明は、容器本体と蓋部材とからなる密封容器の当該容器本体の密封部の異状 の有無を検査する方法、及びこの検査方法を利用する内容物入り密封容器製品の 製造方法に関する。  The present invention relates to a method for inspecting a sealed container formed of a container body and a lid member for abnormality in a sealed portion of the container body, and a method for manufacturing a sealed container product containing contents using the inspection method.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 食品、化粧品、薬品等の分野においては、ガラスやプラスチック力もなる容器本体 の開口部力もその中に内容物を充填し、金属又はプラスチック製の蓋で密閉した製 品が多く市販されている。  [0002] In the fields of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and the like, there are many products on the market that are filled with the contents of the opening of the container body, which is also made of glass or plastic, and sealed with a metal or plastic lid. I have.
[0003] ところで、容器本体にブレザーブタイプのジャムなどの内容物を充填する際に、内 容物に含まれる固形分が容器本体の開口部を囲む密封部に異物として付着する場 合がある。このような場合、蓋で容器本体を密閉しょうしても密閉性が確保できないお それがある。また、密閉性が確保できたとしても、容器本体外面と蓋との間に異物が 挟み込まれたままになってしまうと、挟み込まれた異物にカビが発生する場合もある。 あるいは、容器本体の製造上あるいは保管上の問題力もその密封部自体に形状異 状 (許容範囲を超える厚み不均一、表面凹凸、欠け、ひび等)が生ずる場合があり、 そのような場合には、蓋で容器本体を密閉しょうしても密閉性が確保できず、また容 器本体の破損が生ずるおそれがある。  [0003] By the way, when the container body is filled with contents such as blazer-type jam, solids contained in the contents may adhere as foreign matter to the sealing portion surrounding the opening of the container body. In such a case, even if the container body is sealed with the lid, there is a possibility that the airtightness cannot be secured. Further, even if the hermeticity can be ensured, if foreign matter is still trapped between the outer surface of the container body and the lid, mold may be generated in the trapped foreign matter. Alternatively, the problem of production or storage of the container body may cause irregularities in the sealed part itself (thickness exceeding the allowable range, uneven surface, chipping, cracks, etc.). However, even if the lid is used to seal the container body, airtightness cannot be ensured, and the container body may be damaged.
[0004] 従来、容器本体の瓶口(密封部に対応)の形状異状の有無の検査に関しては、内 容物を充填する前に、容器本体の密封部に可視光を照射し密封部力 の反射光を カメラ等で撮影し、得られた密封部画像をニ値ィ匕して二値ィ匕画像とし、その二値化画 像上で瓶口の形状異状の有無の検査を行う方法が提案されて!ヽる (特許文献 1参照 ) oしかし、この方法は、容器本体の瓶口の寸法の成形バラツキについてはある程度 の精度で検査が可能であつたが、内容物を充填する前の容器本体の良品、不良品 を判別する検査する方法に過ぎず、容器本体に内容物を充填した後に、密封部に 付着した異物を検査することは意図していないため、そのような異物の情報が二値ィ匕 画像に反映されにくいという問題があった。このため、容器本体の密封部に付着した 異物については、内容物が充填された容器本体を蓋で密閉する前に、容器本体の 密封部に可視光を照射し、密封部力 の反射光を直接目視観察することにより、ある いはその反射光をカメラで撮影し、得られた画像をニ値ィ匕せずにそのまま目視観察 することで、容器本体の密封部の異状の有無の検査を行って 、るのが現状である。 [0004] Conventionally, regarding the inspection of the shape of the bottle mouth (corresponding to the sealed portion) of the container body for the presence or absence of irregularities, the visible light is radiated to the sealed portion of the container body before filling the contents, and the sealing portion force is reduced. The reflected light is photographed with a camera or the like, and the obtained sealed portion image is binarized to form a binarized image, and the binarized image is inspected for the presence or absence of a bottle mouth shape abnormality. Proposed! (See Patent Document 1) o However, this method was able to inspect the molding variation in the size of the bottle mouth of the container body with a certain degree of accuracy, but a good product of the container body before filling the contents was This is only an inspection method for determining defective products, and it is not intended to inspect foreign substances attached to the sealed part after filling the contents of the container body. Dagger There is a problem that it is difficult to be reflected on an image. For this reason, with regard to foreign substances adhering to the sealed part of the container body, visible light is applied to the sealed part of the container body before the container body filled with the contents is sealed with the lid, and reflected light of the sealing part force is emitted. By direct visual observation, or by photographing the reflected light with a camera, the resulting image is visually observed without dithering, thereby inspecting the sealed part of the container body for abnormalities. It is the current situation.

発明が解決しょうとする課題  Problems to be solved by the invention
[0006] し力しながら、容器本体の密封部に照射した可視光の反射光に基づいて検査を行 つた場合、例えば、容器本体と異物とがほぼ同色であると、異物からの反射光と容器 本体の密封部からの反射光との間に強度及び波長の点で大きな相違がなぐそれら の判別が難しいという問題があった。特に、容器本体が透明である場合、内容物と容 器本体の密封部に付着した異物が同種材料であると、内容物の反射光が容器本体 に入射し、その一部が密封部力 出射するために、更に容器本体と異物との判別が 難しくなるという問題があった。また、容器本体の密封部に水滴が付着した場合、水 滴自体が容器本体と蓋との間の密封性に影響を与えるものではないが、可視光光源 と水滴とが距離的に離れているためにレンズ効果が生じ、水滴の輪郭部分に光の濃 淡が生じ、結果的に容器本体の密封部に異物が付着したように見え、検査の精度に 問題が生じていた。これらの問題の出現の頻度は、検査スピードを上げたときに特に 顕著になっていた。 [0006] When the inspection is performed based on the reflected light of the visible light applied to the sealed portion of the container body while pressing, for example, if the container body and the foreign matter are substantially the same color, the reflected light from the foreign matter and There is a large difference in intensity and wavelength between the reflected light from the sealed part of the container body and the problem that it is difficult to discriminate them. In particular, when the container body is transparent, if the contents and foreign matter adhering to the sealed part of the container body are of the same material, the reflected light of the contents is incident on the container body, and a part of the light is emitted from the sealed part. Therefore, there is a problem that it becomes more difficult to distinguish between the container body and the foreign matter. If water droplets adhere to the sealed part of the container body, the water droplets themselves do not affect the sealing performance between the container body and the lid, but the visible light source and the water droplets are far apart. As a result, a lens effect was generated, and light and darkness was generated at the contours of the water droplets. As a result, foreign matters seemed to have adhered to the sealed portion of the container body, and a problem occurred in the accuracy of the inspection. The frequency of these problems was particularly pronounced at higher inspection speeds.
[0007] また、容器本体の形状異状に関しては、容器本体の密封部に照射した可視光の反 射光に基づく検査でもある程度の精度で異状を検査することができるが、その検査精 度を下げることなぐ異物による容器本体の密封部の異状の検査精度を向上させるこ とが求められている。  [0007] Also, regarding the shape abnormality of the container main body, the inspection based on the reflected light of the visible light applied to the sealed portion of the container main body can inspect the abnormality with a certain degree of accuracy. There is a need to improve the accuracy of inspection for abnormalities in the sealed part of the container body due to foreign matter that is loosened.
[0008] 本発明は、以上の問題を解決するためのものであり、開口部を囲む密封部を有す る容器本体と、その容器本体を密封するための蓋部材とからなる密封容器の当該容 器本体の密封部を検査する際に、容器本体の密封部に可視光を照射してその反射 光を利用するという手法ではなぐ容器本体の形状異状のみならず、異物による容器 本体の密封部の異状を高!ヽ精度で検査できる方法を提供することを目的とする。 課題を解決するための手段 [0008] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and relates to a sealed container including a container body having a sealing portion surrounding an opening and a lid member for sealing the container body. When inspecting the sealed part of the container body, not only the method of irradiating visible light to the sealed part of the container body and using the reflected light but also the shape of the container body It is an object of the present invention to provide a method capable of inspecting an abnormality of a sealing portion of a main body with high accuracy. Means for solving the problem

[0016] 本発明は、例えば、図 1に示すように、開口部 1を囲む密封部 2を有する容器本体 3 と、該容器本体 3を密封するための蓋部材 4とからなる密封容器 5の当該容器本体の 密封部を検査する方法である。本発明においては、容器本体 3として、紫外線照射 により励起して発光する励起発光性物質を有する容器本体を使用し、該蓋部材 4で 該容器本体 3を密封する前に、容器本体 3に紫外線 UVを照射して励起発光性物質 を励起発光させ、該密封部 2から出射してくる発光光 h vを観察する。従って密封部 2に異物 6が存在する場合には、異物 6が発光光 h vを遮ることとなるので、異物 6の 存在 '非存在を容易に判別できる。また、密封部 2の全域から発光光が発せられるの で、形状異状 (許容範囲を超える厚み不均一、表面凹凸、欠け、ひび等)も容易に判 別可能となる。  The present invention relates to, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a sealed container 5 comprising a container body 3 having a sealing portion 2 surrounding an opening 1, and a lid member 4 for sealing the container body 3. This is a method for inspecting the sealed part of the container body. In the present invention, a container body having an excited luminescent substance that emits light when excited by ultraviolet irradiation is used as the container body 3, and the container body 3 is exposed to ultraviolet light before the container body 3 is sealed with the lid member 4. The excitation light-emitting substance is excited by UV irradiation to emit light, and the emission light hv emitted from the sealed portion 2 is observed. Therefore, when the foreign matter 6 exists in the sealing portion 2, the foreign matter 6 blocks the emission light h v, so that the presence or absence of the foreign matter 6 can be easily determined. In addition, since emitted light is emitted from the entire area of the sealing portion 2, irregularities in the shape (thickness exceeding the allowable range, surface unevenness, chipping, cracks, etc.) can be easily determined.
[0017] なお、「密封部から出射してくる発光光」とは、容器本体の構造材の中を導光されて 密封部から出射してくる発光光だけでなぐ密封部表面あるいはその近傍において 密封部自体が発光する光を含むものである。  [0017] The term "emitted light emitted from the sealed portion" refers to the light at the surface of the sealed portion or in the vicinity of the surface where only the emitted light guided through the structural material of the container body and emitted from the sealed portion is used. The sealing portion itself contains light emitted.
[0018] 本発明において使用する、紫外線照射により励起発光する励起発光性物質とは、 紫外線のエネルギーを吸収して光、例えば可視光を発するものであり、そのような励 起発光性物質としては、長期間に亘り安定した発光特性を有する無機励起発光性物 質や有機励起発光性物質が挙げられる。このような無機励起発光性物質の具体例と しては、希土類物質 (セリウム、錫又はクロム等の単体、イオンもしくは化合物等)や、 タングステン酸カルシウム、鉛含有珪酸バリウム、ユーロピウム含有燐酸ストロンチウ ム、ユーロピウム含有イットリア、セリウム含有イットリア、銅あるいは銀、錫、マンガン、 批素、アルミニウム、カドミウムの一種あるいは複数含有硫ィ匕亜鉛、マンガン含有ガリ ゥム酸マグネシウム、フッ化マグネシウム、フッ化カルシウム、酸素欠損酸化亜鉛、ュ 一口ビゥム含有酸化亜鉛、セリウム含有酸化亜鉛、セシウム含有酸化亜鉛、マンガン あるいは砒素含有珪酸亜鉛、ビスマス含有硫ィ匕亜鉛カドミウム、ビスマス含有硫化力 ルシゥムストロンチウム等が挙げられる。有機励起発光性物質としては、ゥラニン、ェ ォシン、ジアミノチルベン、チオフラビン T、ローダミン Β、インターナショナルオレンジ 等、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリエチレンナフタレー ト等が挙げられる。これら以外の公知の蛍光染料、蛍光顔料も使用できる。これらの 物質は、単独でも、 2種以上を組み合わせても使用することが出来る。 The excited luminescent substance used in the present invention, which emits light by excitation by ultraviolet irradiation, emits light, for example, visible light by absorbing the energy of ultraviolet rays. In addition, inorganic excitation light-emitting substances and organic excitation light-emitting substances having stable light emission characteristics over a long period of time can be mentioned. Specific examples of such an inorganic excited light emitting substance include rare earth substances (simple substances such as cerium, tin or chromium, ions or compounds, etc.), Calcium tungstate, lead-containing barium silicate, europium-containing strontium phosphate, europium-containing yttria, cerium-containing yttria, copper or silver, tin, manganese, critical element, aluminum, cadmium-containing zinc or manganese-containing gallium Magnesium phosphate, magnesium fluoride, calcium fluoride, oxygen-deficient zinc oxide, zinc oxide containing bitumen, zinc oxide containing cerium, zinc oxide containing cesium, zinc silicate containing manganese or arsenic, zinc cadmium containing bismuth, and zinc cadmium containing bismuth Bismuth-containing sulphide strontium and the like.

[0019] 本発明において使用する容器本体としては、ガラス製、榭脂製、陶製、金属製、紙 製などの構成部材で内容物を入れる空間を形成してなる容器を使用することができ る。また、これらは、励起発光性物質の発光光に対し、透明、半透明又は不透明であ つてもよい。蓋部材としては、ガラス製、金属製、榭脂製の公知の蓋を使用することが できる。 [0019] As the container body used in the present invention, a container formed of a glass, resin, ceramic, metal, paper, or other component member to form a space for containing contents can be used. . They may be transparent, translucent or opaque to the emission light of the excited luminescent substance. As the lid member, a known lid made of glass, metal, or resin can be used.
[0020] なお、励起発光性物質の発光光に対し透明又は半透明な構成部材からなる容器 本体を使用した場合、構成部材自体が、程度の差はあるが、光ファイバ一と同様な 導光性を示す。従って、励起発光性物質の発光光に対し透明又は半透明な構成部 材からなる容器本体を使用した場合には、励起発光性物質を容器本体の任意の場 所に配することができる。逆に、励起発光性物質の発光光に対し不透明な構成部材 力 なる容器本体を使用した場合には、密封部の表面もしくはその近傍に励起発光 性物質を配することが必要となる。  [0020] When a container body made of a transparent or translucent component is used for the emission light of the excitation light-emitting substance, the component itself is, to varying degrees, similar to the light guide of the optical fiber. Shows sex. Therefore, when a container body made of a component transparent or translucent to the emission light of the excitation light-emitting substance is used, the excitation light-emitting substance can be arranged at an arbitrary position in the container body. Conversely, when a container body that is opaque to the emission light of the excitation light-emitting substance is used, it is necessary to arrange the excitation light-emitting substance on the surface of the sealed portion or in the vicinity thereof.
[0021] 本発明において、容器本体は蓋部材により密閉される力 その密閉様式としては、 公知の密封様式を採用することができる。例えば、容器本体の密封部に蓋部材を物 理嵌合、例えば、はめ込み、ねじ込み、折り込み等により密封する様式が挙げられる 。更に、気体や液体の漏洩、微生物の進入などが問題となる高い機密性を必要とす る場合は、嵌合部に柔軟性を有するノ ッキング材を介して物理嵌合させることが好ま しい。具体的な容器の形態としては、例えば食品、調味料、医薬品、化粧品、塗料な どの分野における封栓式の広口容器やボトル等の細口容器や箱様のタッパーなど が挙げられる。 [0021] In the present invention, the force with which the container body is hermetically sealed by the lid member As the sealing style, a known sealing style can be adopted. For example, there is a mode in which the lid member is physically fitted to the sealing portion of the container body, for example, sealed by fitting, screwing, folding, or the like. Furthermore, when high confidentiality is required, in which leakage of gas or liquid, invasion of microorganisms, etc. is required, it is preferable to physically fit the fitting portion via a flexible knocking material. That's right. Specific examples of the form of the container include, for example, sealed wide-open containers, narrow-mouth containers such as bottles, and box-like tappers in the fields of foods, seasonings, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and paints.
[0022] また、物理嵌合の他に、容器本体に蓋部材を熱溶着により密封する様式が挙げら れる。具体的な容器の形態としては、例えば食料、調味料、医薬品、化粧品、塗料な どの分野におけるのカップ様容器や錠剤などのシート成型容器などが挙げられる。  [0022] In addition to the physical fitting, a method of sealing the lid member to the container body by heat welding may be used. Specific forms of the container include, for example, cup-shaped containers in the fields of foods, seasonings, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and paints, and sheet-shaped containers such as tablets.
[0023] 本発明において、紫外線照射により励起発光する励起発光性物質は、密封部から その発光光が出射してくるように容器本体に配すればよい。例えば、(1)励起発光性 物質が容器本体の構成部材中に分散されて ヽる態様 (具体的には、構成部材が透 明ガラスカゝらなる場合に原材料である溶融ガラス中に微量の希土類物質を混合し、 成形加工して容器本体とする態様等)、 (2)容器本体の構成部材自体を励起発光性 物質から構成した態様 (具体的には、容器本体の構成部材を、励起発光機能を有す る官能基 (ベンゼン環等)を有する榭脂から構成した態様等)、 (3)容器本体の表面 の少なくとも一部に該励起発光性物質が配されている態様 (具体的には、励起発光 性物質もしくはそれを含む塗料組成物を、容器本体の光透過性のレベルに応じて、 印刷法、スプレー法、浸漬法等により容器本体の表面一部 (側面、開口部、底面、内 面等)に配する態様、(4)少なくとも発光性物質含有層を含む多層構造の態様 (具体 的には、容器本体の構成材料として、励起発光機能を有する官能基を有する榭脂か ら構成した励起発光性榭脂層を少なくとも有する積層構造材料から構成した態様等 が挙げられる。このような多層構造材料は、接着剤により積層したり、熱融着により積 層したり、押し出しラミネート法により積層したりする公知の積層方法により作製するこ とができるが、励起発光性物質の使用量を抑制し、あるいは紫外線ランプ出力を抑 制すると ヽぅ面で、紫外線を受けやす ヽ最外層に励起発光性榭脂層を設けることが 好ましい。  In the present invention, the excited luminescent substance that emits excited light upon irradiation with ultraviolet light may be disposed on the container body such that the emitted light is emitted from the sealed portion. For example, (1) an embodiment in which the excited luminescent substance is dispersed in a constituent member of the container body (specifically, when the constituent member is made of transparent glass, a trace amount of rare earth element is contained in the molten glass as a raw material) (2) An embodiment in which the constituent members of the container body themselves are made of an excited luminescent substance (specifically, the constituent members of the container body are excited by luminescence. (E.g., an embodiment composed of a resin having a functional group having a function (such as a benzene ring)), and (3) an embodiment in which the excited luminescent substance is disposed on at least a part of the surface of the container body (specifically, In accordance with the level of light transmittance of the container body, the excitation light-emitting substance or a coating composition containing the same is exposed to a part of the surface of the container body (side surface, opening, bottom surface) by printing, spraying, dipping, etc. (4) at least a luminescent substance-containing layer (Specifically, as a constituent material of the container body, an embodiment composed of a laminated structural material having at least an excited luminescent resin layer composed of a resin having a functional group having an excited luminescent function, etc. Such a multilayer structure material can be manufactured by a known laminating method such as laminating with an adhesive, laminating by heat fusion, or laminating by extrusion lamination. When the amount of the luminescent substance used is suppressed or the output of the ultraviolet lamp is suppressed, on the other hand, it is susceptible to ultraviolet rays. It is preferable to provide an excited luminescent resin layer on the outermost layer.
[0024] 紫外線照射により発光する励起発光性物質の使用量は、励起発光性物質の種類 、励起発光性物質を容器本体へ適用する態様などにより適宜決定することができる。 例えば、ガラスびんへのセリウムの混合割合は、 0. 01重量%程度である。また、ポリ エチレンテレフタレート榭脂層を他の榭脂層とラミネートしてなる積層構造材料力ゝら容 器本体を構成する場合、ポリエチレンテレフタレート榭脂層の厚みは好ましくは 5— 1 OO /z mである。また、励起発光性物質含有塗料を容器本体に塗布する場合には、 数オングストローム一 15 m厚となるように塗布すればよ 、。 [0024] The amount of the excited luminescent substance that emits light by ultraviolet irradiation can be appropriately determined according to the type of the excited luminescent substance, the mode of applying the excited luminescent substance to the container body, and the like. For example, the mixing ratio of cerium in a glass bottle is about 0.01% by weight. In addition, a laminated structural material obtained by laminating a polyethylene terephthalate resin layer with another resin layer. When forming the container body, the thickness of the polyethylene terephthalate resin layer is preferably 5-1 OO / zm. In addition, when the paint containing the excited luminescent substance is applied to the container body, it may be applied so as to have a thickness of several angstroms and a thickness of 15 m.
[0025] 励起発光性物質に紫外線を照射する際に使用する紫外線照射装置としては、巿 販の工業用高出力紫外線ランプなどや汎用の蛍光灯タイプのブラックライトでよぐそ の波長は励起発光性物質の種類等により、 250mm— 400nmから最適なものを選 び利用する。出力については、容器本体や装置の大きさ、目的とする検査方法など により最適なものを選択することができる。  [0025] The ultraviolet irradiator used to irradiate the excited luminescent substance with ultraviolet light is, for example, a commercially available industrial high-power ultraviolet lamp or a general-purpose fluorescent lamp type black light. Depending on the type of substance, etc., select the optimal one from 250mm-400nm. Regarding the output, the optimum output can be selected depending on the size of the container body and the device, the intended inspection method, and the like.
[0026] なお、密封部力 出射してくる発光光の観察は、密封部を直接的に目視観察しても よぐまた、密封部をカメラで撮影して得られた画像を公知の画像処理法により処理し 、その処理画像を目視観察してもよぐコンピューターで自動的に画像解析させても よい。画像処理法を利用した場合には、検査像の拡大処理が可能なため、単純な目 視観察よりも検出可能な異物の大きさを小さくすることができる。また、検査に要する 時間を大きく短縮することができる。  The power of the sealing portion can be observed by observing the emitted light directly by visual observation of the sealing portion. Alternatively, an image obtained by photographing the sealing portion with a camera can be obtained by a known image processing. The image may be processed by a method, and the processed image may be visually observed and automatically analyzed by a computer. When the image processing method is used, since the inspection image can be enlarged, the size of the foreign matter that can be detected can be reduced as compared with a simple visual observation. In addition, the time required for inspection can be greatly reduced.

At this time, Sample A was prepared by attaching a part of the content (eg, dietary fiber and seeds) as a foreign substance to the sealing portion of the flange portion.
[0035] この試料 Aを、図 2に示すような検査装置(図中、容器本体 21、密着部 22、リング状 紫外線ランプ 23、電源 24、カメラ 25、画像処理装置 26)のリング状紫外線ランプ 23 の直下にコンベア一 27で搬送し、 3本の紫外線ランプ (ブラックライト (ナショナル製); 出力 10W)から紫外線 (ピーク波長 = 368nm、波長域 = 350— 400nm)を照射した 。その結果、試料 Aの容器本体全体が蒼白く光っているのが観察できた。し力も、容 器本体の密着部から発光光を目視観察でき、密封部に付着した食物繊維や種など の異物が陰影として高精度で容易に判別できた。同様の試料 Aを 100個作製し、同 様に検査したところ、 100個すべてについて異物の存在を判別できた。  [0035] The sample A was subjected to a ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp of an inspection device as shown in Fig. 2 (in the figure, a container body 21, a contact portion 22, a ring-shaped ultraviolet lamp 23, a power supply 24, a camera 25, and an image processing device 26).
