缶体、缶体の製造方法および缶体の製造装置Can body, can body manufacturing method and can body manufacturing apparatus
 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 body, a can body manufacturing method, and a can body manufacturing apparatus.
 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 (beverage cans) for beverages filled with beverages such as beer, soft drinks, and coffee are manufactured and sold in a variety of ways and used by general consumers. Such beverage cans can be obtained by, for example, processing a metal thin plate such as aluminum or steel by DI (Drawing and Ironing) molding or DR (Drawing and Redrawing) molding. And the bottom plate (or top plate) are integrally formed. Such beverage cans are called two-piece cans. Such a two-piece can is manufactured by joining a can lid to a can body filled with a beverage by winding or the like. For example, as the can body of the two-piece can, a can in which a neck-in flange is formed at the upper end opening of a thin-walled can body integrally formed from a pressure-proof reinforced bottom plate is used. A can lid with a simple opening called an easy open end smaller in diameter than the can body is used. And a two-piece can is formed by winding the can lid with a simple opening around the neck-in flange of the can body. A beverage can obtained by rolling a thin metal plate 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。 Recently, in place of PET bottles and glass bottles, development of bottle cans that have a bottle-like shape and can be resealed with a cap or the like has been underway. Such a bottle can has a high light shielding property against ultraviolet rays and a high sealing property of a gas contained in a beverage as compared with a plastic bottle or a glass bottle. That is, by using a bottle can, the preservability of the beverage as the contents is enhanced. Further, the bottle can has the advantages of being lighter, less likely to break, and easier to recycle than the glass bottle. Therefore, if a bottle can is employ | adopted, it will become possible to suppress the cost which concerns on a container in all the life cycles, such as use and collection | 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 a two-piece can, for example. For example, Patent Documents 1 to 3 listed below disclose techniques relating to the structure of the mouth and neck. On the other hand, in Patent Documents 4 to 7 below, a small-diameter mouth / neck portion, a shoulder portion having an inclined surface, and a large-diameter trunk portion are integrally formed, and a bottom lid is tightened at an opening at the lower end of the trunk portion. The technique about the bottle can which seals the contents, such as a drink, is disclosed. Such a bottle can can also be realized by a three-piece can. Specifically, Patent Documents 8 and 9 listed below disclose techniques for a bottle can formed by winding a can body part and a skirt part and a bottom cover of a cap having an inclination, respectively. . In addition, Patent Documents 10 and 11 listed below disclose techniques for folding a winding fastening portion toward the inner peripheral side of a 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。 The processing of the mouth and neck and the shoulder is performed from the upper end opening of the two-piece can in Patent Documents 1 to 3, whereas the processing of the mouth and neck and the shoulder is performed from the bottom plate (top plate) of the two-piece can. . From the viewpoint of processing man-hours and technical difficulties in processing of the neck and neck and the shoulder that require a reduction in diameter, the processing method shown in the latter is considered to be more advantageous in manufacturing 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 the above-mentioned Patent Documents 4 to 7, a 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 bottom side of the can. If it does so, when the said can is mounted on a flat surface, the said winding fastening part will be exposed. In this case, since it is difficult to decorate the outer peripheral surface of such a tightening part, it is difficult to unify the design of the outer appearance of the outer peripheral surface of the tightening part and the outer peripheral surface of the body part such as the pattern or color. is there. In addition, since the tightening portion is formed by folding the bottom lid and the body portion on the outer peripheral side, it has a structure protruding outward from the lower end of the body portion, so that the appearance of the overall shape of the can is impaired. There is a problem that it ends up.
 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。 In addition, in the cans disclosed in Patent Documents 8 and 9, a winding tightening portion that winds the can body portion and the base lid between the can body portion and the skirt portion is arranged, so that the appearance is Although it is less noticeable, the wound part is still visible from the outside. Further, similarly to Patent Documents 4 to 7, a winding fastening portion is provided on the bottom side of the can body so that when the can is placed, the opening is provided at the bottom end of the can body and the bottom lid. There is a problem in that the winding tightening portion is 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 that such a tightening portion is folded into the inside of the can by the technique disclosed in Patent Document 10 to make it difficult to visually recognize the winding portion from the outside. However, the above-mentioned Patent Document 10 specifically describes how to fold the winding fastening portion (for example, what type of folding mold is used and in what process the winding fastening portion is folded back). Is not disclosed. For this reason, even if an attempt is made to simply mold the winding portion so that the winding portion is difficult to visually recognize from the outside, there is a risk of forming defects such as wrinkles or wrinkles in the can body.
 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, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 11, in the can formed by double-wrapping the lid on the opening end of the can body, the top of the double-wrapped seam band is substantially the same surface as the folded end edge of the can body or the It is in a state of being pushed into the inside of the can body from the edge portion. However, in Patent Document 11 described above, the end of the can body widens as the seam band is pushed into the inside of the can body. At this time, the seam band is in contact with the can body on the inner surface of the can body. When the seam band and the can body are in contact with each other, the seam band and the can body are rubbed and a force is applied to the contact portion, so that wrinkles easily enter the contact portion.
 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。 Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to make the appearance of the can body more excellent, and to form a can body excellent in the appearance. There is no manufacturing.
 上記課題を解決するために、本発明のある観点によれば、缶軸方向における下方に缶底を有する缶体であって、前記缶底を形成する缶蓋と、前記缶軸方向に伸びる円筒状の胴体部、および前記胴体部の下端から連なり、前記胴体部よりも内周側において前記下方に突出するように湾曲する湾曲部を含む缶胴と、前記湾曲部よりも内周側に設けられ、前記湾曲部の前記胴体部とは反対側の端部と前記缶蓋の周縁部とを巻締めることにより形成され、前記缶蓋と前記缶胴とを接合する巻締部と、を備え、前記巻締部の下端は、前記湾曲部の下端よりも前記缶軸方向における上方に位置する、缶体が提供される。 In order to solve the above problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, a can body having a can bottom below in the can axis direction, a can lid forming the can bottom, and a cylinder extending in the can axis direction And a can body including a curved body portion that is continuous from the lower end of the body portion and curves so as to protrude downward on the inner peripheral side of the body portion, and provided on the inner peripheral side of the curved portion A winding tightening portion formed by winding an end portion of the curved portion opposite to the body portion and a peripheral edge portion of the can lid, and joining the can lid and the can body. A can body is provided in which the lower end of the winding tightening portion is located above the lower end of the bending portion in the can axis direction.
 前記缶胴は、前記胴体部から上側に連なり、前記缶軸方向に沿って前記胴体部から上方に向かうにつれて缶径が減少する肩部と、前記肩部から上側に連なり、前記胴体部よりも小径であり、上端に開口を有する口頸部と、をさらに含んでもよい。 The can body is connected to the upper side from the body part, and a shoulder part whose diameter decreases as it goes upward from the body part along the can axis direction, and is connected to the upper side from the shoulder part. It may further include a mouth and neck portion having a small diameter and having an opening at the upper end.

 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。 Further, according to the above can body manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus, when the can body is placed on a flat surface, the tightening portion provided on the inner peripheral side of the bending portion is not visually recognized from the outside. That is, when the can body is placed on a flat surface, the winding fastening portion is shielded by the curved portion, so that the configuration of the winding fastening portion is not included in the appearance of the can body. Furthermore, when the movement of the tightening portion is constrained in the radial direction, seat bending occurs due to the compressive force in the in-plane direction of the inclined portion, and the curved portion is formed. If it does so, since it will become difficult to pull a winding tightening part to radial direction, the deterioration of the sealing performance by peeling of a joining part can be suppressed, and a molding defect can be prevented.

Further, a part of the shoulder portion 22 may be formed in a cylindrical shape parallel to the can axis 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 portion 23 is formed continuously with the upper side of the shoulder portion 22. The mouth-and-neck part 23 is a part corresponding to the drinking mouth of the can 1 and has an annular configuration having an opening at the upper end. As shown in FIG. 1A, a curl portion may be provided at the upper end. The curled portion can be formed by providing a flange at the upper end of the mouth-and-neck portion 23 and bending the flange in the outer peripheral direction. A cap that seals the opening at the upper end can be engaged with the curled portion.
 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。 Further, a male screw portion (not shown) may be provided on the outer peripheral surface below the upper end of the mouth and neck portion 23.

 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, is bent in the inner peripheral direction of the can body 2, and has a curved groove shape protruding downward in the can axis 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 according to the present embodiment includes a disc-shaped lid main body 30 occupying a central portion and a peripheral portion of the lid main body 30. As shown in FIG. 1A, the can lid 3 forms a can bottom by the lid main body 30, and is joined to the can body 2 by the winding tightening portion 4 to seal the opening at the lower end of the can body 2. The outer diameter of the can lid 3 can be appropriately set so that the tightening portion 4 is positioned on the inner peripheral side of the bending portion 24 as will be described later. The thickness of the can lid 3 can be appropriately set according to the strength, rigidity, manufacturing cost, etc. required for the can body 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 tightening the can lid 3 and the end portion of the curved portion 24 of the can body 2 opposite to the body portion 21. FIG. 2 is a local cross-sectional view of the can body 1 for explaining the structures of the can lid 3, the tightening portion 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 tightening a peripheral edge portion 31 provided on the outer peripheral side of the lid body 30 of the can lid 3 and an end portion 25 of the bending portion 24. . The winding portion 4 is a joint portion between the can body 2 and the can lid 3, and is formed in an annular shape around the can axis along the circumferential direction of the can body 2 and the can lid 3. Further, the winding portion 4 is provided on the inner peripheral side with respect to the bending portion 24 and so that the lower end 4A of the winding portion 4 is positioned above the lower end 24A of the bending portion 24 in the can axis direction C. Yes.
 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 can be appropriately bonded to the gap between the peripheral edge portion 31 constituting the winding tightening portion 4 and the end portion 25 of the bending portion 24. Such a sealing material may be a known sealing material such as a resin or a composite material. Such a sealing material is applied or formed on the interface between the peripheral edge 31 and the end 25, and the peripheral edge 31 and the end 25 are tightened, whereby the peripheral edge 31 and the end 25 in the tightening part 4 Are fixed, 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 such a configuration is placed on a flat surface, the lower end 24A of the curved portion 24 comes into contact with the flat surface. That is, the lower end 24 </ b> A of the curved portion 24 is the bottommost portion of the can body 1. At this time, the winding portion 4 is provided on the inner peripheral side with respect to the bending portion 24, and is provided above the lower end 24 </ b> A of the bending portion 24 in the can axis direction C. Accordingly, when the can body 1 is placed on a flat surface, the outer peripheral bending portion 24 shields the inner peripheral winding portion 4, so that the winding portion 4 cannot be visually recognized from the outside. If it does so, the structure of the coiling | tightening part 4 will not be included in the external appearance of the can 1 when the can 1 is mounted on the flat surface. Therefore, the design of the appearance of the can body 1 can be designed more freely without being bound by the presence of the winding part 4. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the appearance of the can body 1.
 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。 Further, by making the winding fastening part 4 invisible from the outside, the configuration of the peripheral part 31 of the can lid 3 constituting the outer surface of the winding fastening part 4 can be easily changed without being constrained by the appearance of the can body 1. It becomes possible. For example, the plate thickness of the can lid 3 can be freely changed. Thereby, the plate | board thickness of the can lid | cover 3 can be changed according to the intensity | strength, rigidity, manufacturing cost, etc. which are requested | required of the can body 1, without considering the influence which the can lid | cover 3 has on the external appearance of the can body 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。 Moreover, when the conventional can body 1 in which the winding tightening portion 4 is exposed on the bottom side of the can falls, a drop impact is directly applied to the winding tightening portion 4, and the joint portion of the winding tightening portion 4 is peeled off. In some cases, the sealing performance of the contents such as beverages may be impaired. According to the present embodiment, when the can body 1 is dropped, the winding fastening part 4 has entered the body part 21 side in the can axial direction C, so that the impact of the drop is directly applied to the winding fastening part 4. It becomes difficult to be transmitted. Therefore, even if the can body 1 falls, the impact force applied to the tightening portion 4 is reduced, so that peeling of the joint portion of the tightening portion 4 is suppressed, and the sealing performance can hardly 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。 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 winding portion 4) Is not particularly limited. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the curved portion 24 according to the present embodiment has a curved shape that protrudes downward in the can axis direction C. The curved portion 24 is bent in the inner circumferential direction. If it has the shape which protruded below as a whole, it will not be specifically limited. For example, even if a shape protruding upward in the can axis direction C may partially occur due to the molding process of the bending portion 24, the lower end of the body portion 21 extends to the end portion 25 of the bending 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 protruding downward in the can axis 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 investigation by the present inventor, the distance H between the lower end 4A of the winding portion 4 and the lower end 24A of the bending portion 24 shown in FIG. 2 is preferably 0.5 mm or more. If the distance H is 0.5 mm or more, regardless of the shape of the curved portion 24, the winding portion 4 can be reliably shielded so that the outer appearance of the can 1 does not include the configuration of the winding portion 4. It will be possible more reliably.
 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 body)
Next, an example of the manufacturing method of the can 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. As described above, the can body 1 according to the present embodiment is a so-called two-piece can formed by winding the can lid 3 around the opening end on the bottom side of the can body 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 method for manufacturing the can 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in detail. First, in the manufacturing method of the can body 1, a process up to the step of winding the can body 2 and the can lid 3 is 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 molding to form a cylindrical can body having a top plate and having an open can bottom. And the shoulder part and the mouth-and-neck part are formed by press-molding the top plate side of the can body. At this time, the mouth-and-neck part has a smaller diameter than the body part (the part below the shoulder part) of the can body by such press molding. By pressing the top plate side, regardless of the material of the thin metal plate (for example, steel whose formability is relatively inferior to aluminum), it is possible to reduce the man-hours and suppress material loss, and to reduce the shoulder and neck 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-neck portion. In addition, 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, an inclined portion that is reduced in diameter toward the inner peripheral direction of the can body is formed at the lower end portion of the body portion. Furthermore, a flange part is formed in the lower end part of the said inclined part. The inclined portion and the flange portion are formed by known neck processing and flange processing. The inclined portion and the flange portion correspond to the curved portion 24 and the end portion 25 described above after the winding process. In addition, the connection part of an inclination part, a trunk | drum part, and a flange part can be suitably provided with a round. The size of the radius is not particularly limited, and is appropriately adjusted according to the diameter reduction ratio (ratio of reduction of the can diameter with respect to the can axis direction C) 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 forming the inclined part and the flange part, the peripheral part of the can lid and the flange part of the can body are tightened by a tightening process. For 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 body, and the can bottom of the can body 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, a process related to indentation molding of the tightened portion after the tightening process will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4C. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of the workpiece 100 immediately after the winding process and an example of the indentation method. As shown in FIG. 3, the workpiece 100 includes a can body 200 and a lid body 300, and the can body 200 and the lid body 300 are joined together by a winding portion 400. The can body 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 inclined portion 204, and a substantially annular flange portion 205. The material and plate thickness of the workpiece 100 are in accordance with the material and plate thickness 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 point, the winding portion 400 is located on the inner peripheral side of the inclined portion 204 due to the reduced diameter of the inclined portion 204, but is positioned at the bottom of the workpiece 100. In view of this, it is conceivable to perform push molding in which the winding fastening portion 400 (or the lid main body 300) is pushed in the direction of the arrow in FIG. As a result, the winding part 400 is pushed into the body part 201 side of the can body 200, so that the curved part 24 becomes the bottom of the can body 1 as shown in FIG. It is considered that the winding tightening part 400 cannot be visually recognized from the outside when it is placed on the head.
 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 the study by the present inventors, it has been found that simply sealing the winding part 400 or the lid main body 300 deteriorates the sealing performance and moldability of the winding part 400. Specifically, when the winding fastening part 400 or the lid body 300 is simply pushed in, the joint portion between the lid body 300 and the can body 200 can be pulled away from each other. If it does so, the joining location of the winding part 400 in the peripheral part 301 and the flange part 205 will be peeled off. Thereby, the sealing performance 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, the winding portion 400 is formed while the curved portion 24 protruding downward in the can axis direction C is formed by bending the inclined portion 204 in the inner circumferential direction while fixing the can body 200. It is also conceivable that the bend portion 24 is disposed above the lower end of the curved portion 24 in the can axis direction C. However, as a result of the study by the present inventors, the movement of the winding portion 400 in the radial direction R is not constrained, and thus the lid main body 300 and the can body 200 are bent when the inclined portion 204 is bent in the inner circumferential direction. It has been found that the joints of each other are pulled away from each other. Therefore, the sealing performance of the winding part 400 can be deteriorated. Moreover, the location where the bend in the inner circumferential direction of the inclined portion 204 is shifted during bending. It is difficult to form the inclined portion 204 into a desired shape, and the tightening portion 400 is difficult to move upward in the can axis direction C. As a result, the tightening portion 400 is less than the lower end of the bending portion 24. Also, it has been difficult to dispose them upward.
 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。 In this way, it is possible to form the can body 1 having a structure in which the winding tightening portion 4 cannot be visually recognized from the appearance without causing molding defects simply by pushing the member on the can bottom side of the workpiece 100. 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。 Therefore, the present inventors diligently studied and came up with the present invention. In the present invention, with the workpiece 100 fixed, the winding portion 400 is pushed upward in the can axis direction C while restraining movement of the winding portion 400 in the radial direction R. Thus, the inclined portion 204 is bent, and a curved portion protruding downward in the can axis direction C is formed 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 axis 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 such a technique, since the movement of the tightening portion 400 in the radial direction R is restricted, when the lid body 300 and the tightening portion 400 are pushed in the can axis direction C, The joint portion with the can body 200 is hardly pulled in the radial direction R. Thereby, the joining location of the winding part 400 in the peripheral part 301 and the flange part 205 does not peel off, and the sealing performance of the winding part 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。 Further, if the movement of the winding portion 400 in the radial direction R is restricted, the winding portion 400 is hardly pulled in the radial direction R due to the bending of the inclined portion 204 when the inclined portion 204 is bent. Further, by restraining the winding tightening portion 400, it is possible to suppress a shift of a portion where the inclined portion 204 is bent in the inner circumferential direction. Therefore, the inclined portion 204 can be easily formed into a curved portion having a desired shape, and the lower end of the winding fastening portion 400 can be positioned more reliably than 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 apparatus that realizes a method for manufacturing a can body 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。 4A to 4C are sectional views showing an example of the configuration of the can manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment. 4A shows an initial stage of the indentation process by the manufacturing apparatus 10, FIG. 4B shows an intermediate stage of the indentation process, and FIG. 4C shows a final stage of the indentation process. Note that the initial stage of the indentation molding process is a stage before the punch 60 for indentation molding is pushed upward in the cylindrical axis direction of the die 50 (that is, the can axis direction C), and the intermediate stage is the indentation of the punch 60. The final stage means a stage in which the punch 60 has moved a predetermined distance and has been pushed in.
 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 internal space. For example, when the workpiece 100 is installed on the die 50, the workpiece 100 is held on the die 50 by the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 201 of the workpiece 100 coming into contact with the inner peripheral surface 50 </ b> A of the die 50. The Thereby, the movement to the can axis direction C and radial direction R of the trunk | drum 201 is restrained. The shape, structure, and mechanism of the die 50 are not particularly limited, and any configuration can be applied as long as the outer peripheral surface of the body portion 201 is abutted and 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 indenting 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 axis direction (that is, the can axis direction C) in the inner space of the die 50, and is provided so as to be movable in the vertical direction along the circumferential axis 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 winding fastening portion 400 of the workpiece 100 installed on the die 50 upward in the can axis direction C. Then, the curved part is formed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, the punch 60 according to the present embodiment includes a can lid restraining portion 61, a winding fastening restraining portion 62, and a curved forming portion 63, which are integrally formed to form the punch 60. To 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 restraining portion 61 is provided so as to be able to contact the lower surface of the lid main body 300. In the indentation molding, the can lid restraining portion 61 abuts on the lid main body 300, so that the displacement of the lid main body 300 in the radial direction R and the out-of-plane deformation of the lid main body 300 can be suppressed.
 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 restraining portion 61 is provided at a portion that comes into contact with the lid main body 300 when the workpiece 100 is placed on the punch 60. In the example shown in FIG. 4A, the can lid restraining portion 61 is provided so as to be able to contact the entire surface of the lid main body 300, but the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, the can lid restraining portion 61 may be provided so as to be able to contact only a part (for example, the outer portion) of the lid main body 300 using the hollow cylindrical can lid restraining portion 61. The outer edge portion of the can lid restraining portion 61 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the boundary portion between the lid main body 300 and the winding fastening portion 400. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4A, the outer edge portion of the can lid restraining portion 61 forms a rounded shape along the curved surface shape of the boundary portion.
 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 tightening restraining portion 62 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the can lid restraining portion 61 and forms an annular recess that can accommodate the winding tightening portion 400. As shown in FIG. 4A, when the winding tightening portion 400 is accommodated in the recess of the winding tightening restraining portion 62 during the press molding, the movement of the winding tightening portion 400 in the radial direction R is restrained. The position where the concave portion of the tightening restraint portion 62 is provided in the punch 60 is a position facing the tightening portion 400, and can be appropriately adjusted according to the processing position in the radial direction R of the tightening portion 400 in the workpiece 100. . A preferable range of the diameter of the winding part 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 concave portion of the tightening restraint portion 62 can be appropriately adjusted so as to be substantially the same as the width in the radial direction R of the tightening portion 400 formed by the tightening process. Thereby, the restraint of the movement of the winding part 400 in the radial direction R can be further ensured. In addition, the depth of the concave portion of the tightening restraining portion 62 is not particularly limited, but the depth of the concave portion is from the lid body 300 to the lower end of the tightening portion 400 in order to securely accommodate the winding portion 400 in the concave portion. It is preferable that it is more than length. Thereby, it becomes possible to prevent the molding defect of the lid body 300 in the vicinity of the tightening portion 400 from occurring more reliably. Further, the bottom of the concave portion 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 fastening restraint portion 62 and on the inner peripheral side of the inner peripheral surface 50 </ b> A of the die 50. The curved molding portion 63 has a molding surface 63A for molding the curved portion 24 that contacts the bent inclined portion 204 and projects downward in the can axis 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 shape that curves 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 pressed upward in the can axis direction C in contact with the workpiece 100, a bending deformation that buckles upward occurs in a part of the inclined portion 204. The location where the bending occurs may be a location that abuts against a portion in the vicinity of the boundary between the curved forming portion 63 and the winding restraint portion 62. As the punch 60 is pushed upward, a portion on the outer peripheral side of the portion where the bending of the inclined portion 204 occurs relatively protrudes below the portion where the bending occurs. Thereafter, the portion on the outer peripheral side of the inclined portion 204 protruding downward comes into contact with the molding surface 63A and is deformed and curved along the molding surface 63A. 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。 As shown in FIG. 4A, the depth HA of the curved portion of the molding surface 63A of the curved molding portion 63 (the length in the can axis direction C from the upper surface of the can lid molding portion 61 to the lower end of the molding surface 63A) is The length H B in the can axis direction C of the tightening portion 400 of the workpiece 100 is larger. Thereby, in the can 1 after molding, the lower end of the winding portion 4 is positioned above the lower end 24A of the curved portion 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。 The shape and size of the molding surface 63A are the height of the inclined portion 204 (the length in the can axis direction C from the lower end of the body portion 201 to the lid body 300, that is, the length of the reduced diameter portion), or the tightening. It can be appropriately designed according to the position and size 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, an indentation forming process using the manufacturing apparatus 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4C.
 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 indentation molding process shown in FIG. 4A, the body part 201 is restrained by the die 50 to fix the workpiece 100, and the lid body 300 is placed on the punch 60. At this time, the lid main body 300 abuts against the can lid restraining portion 61, and the winding fastening portion 400 is housed in the winding fastening restraining portion 62. In addition, the curve shaping | molding part 63 does not need to contact | abut the inclination part 204 in the initial stage of an indentation shaping | molding 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, in the intermediate stage of the indentation molding process shown in FIG. 4B, the punch 60 moves upward in the can axis direction C along the inner peripheral surface 50A of the die 50, and the lid body 300 and the tightening portion 400 are pushed upward. Meanwhile, the inclined portion 204 is bent. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4B, for example, the contact portion of the inclined portion 204 with the curved forming portion 63 can be bent upward and bent by being pushed 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。 In the intermediate stage of this indentation molding process, the movement of the lid main body 300 and the tightening portion 400 in the radial direction R is restrained by the can lid restraining portion 61 and the tightening restraining portion 62, respectively. Then, the winding part 400 is displaced upward while restraining the winding part 400, thereby generating an in-plane compressive force on the inclined part 204. As a result, buckling may occur at the location where the inclined portion 204 is bent. In other words, the bending deformation of the inclined portion 204 can be caused not by direct bending of the inclined portion 204 by the punch 60 but by buckling due to the compressive force in the in-plane direction with respect to the inclined portion 204 due to the restraint of the winding tightening portion 400. If it does so, since the reaction force from the inclination part 204 will be applied to the winding part 400, it will become difficult to apply the tensile force of radial direction R. FIG. Therefore, peeling of the joint part of the winding part 400 can be suppressed, and the sealing performance of the winding part 400 can be maintained. In addition, buckling (that is, bending deformation) in the inclined portion 204 may occur not in the contact portion with the curved forming portion 63 as shown in FIG.
 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。 And in the final stage of the indentation molding process shown in FIG. 4C, along the molding surface 63A of the curved molding portion 63 of the punch 60, the inclined portion 204 projects downward and deforms into a curved shape. Such a curved shape is formed in a portion on the outer peripheral side with respect to a 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 body 1. In this final stage, the punch 60 is pushed upward from the can bottom side to a position where the lower end of the winding portion 400 is above the lower end of the curved portion 24 formed from the inclined portion 204 in the can axial direction C. . Thereby, in the can body 1 obtained after the indentation molding process, when the can body 1 is placed on a flat surface, the winding portion 4 may not be visually recognized by the curved portion 24 from the outside.
 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 in the final stage of the indentation molding process is such that the distance in the can axis direction C between the lower end of the pressed winding portion 4 and the lower end of the formed curved portion 24 is 0.5 mm or more. It is preferable that it is the position which becomes. As described above, if the distance H is 0.5 mm or more, regardless of the shape of the curved portion 24, the winding portion 4 is reliably shielded, and the appearance of the can 1 does not include the configuration of the winding portion 4. It is 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 portion 4 is located on the inner peripheral side of the bending portion 24 and the lower end of the winding portion 4 is positioned above the lower end of the bending portion 24 in the can axial direction C through the above indentation molding process. The 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。 The configurations of the can lid restraining portion 61, the winding fastening restraining portion 62, and the curved forming portion 63 that form the punch 60 are not limited to the configurations described in FIGS. 4A to 4C. These configurations can be appropriately designed based on the positions, sizes, shapes, and the like of the lid main body 300, the winding portion 400, and the inclined portion 204 of the workpiece 100 that is the object of the forming process.
 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 further studies by the present inventors, the diameter of the tightening portion 400 (from the can shaft to the position where the can body 200 and the lid main body 300 at the base of the tightening portion 400 contact each other as shown in FIG. 4A). It has been found that a molding defect due to indentation molding can be more reliably suppressed when (twice the length of 2) is a predetermined size. 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 ≧ 0.75 × D 1 , the generation of wrinkles associated with the effect of work hardening by the diameter reduction processing of the inclined portion 204 can be suppressed. Moreover, the number of diameter reduction steps can be reduced, which is advantageous from the viewpoint of cost. Further, if D 2 ≦ 0.88 × D 1 , it is possible to suppress physical interference between the winding portion 400 and the inclined portion 204 when the inclined portion 204 is bent and deformed. 400 and the inclined portion 204 are not rubbed to cause wrinkles, and the forming accuracy of the bending portion 24 can be improved.
 0.75×D≦D≦0.88×D・・・式(1) 0.75 × D 1 ≦ D 2 ≦ 0.88 × D 1 Formula (1)
 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 the 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 effect of the present invention, in this example, the performance of the can 1 manufactured by the manufacturing method and the manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the above embodiment was verified. In addition, the following Examples are only performed in order to verify the effect of this invention, and this 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 example, the winding part 4 of the can body 1 obtained after the winding part 400 of the workpiece 100 is pushed upward from the can bottom side using the manufacturing method and the manufacturing apparatus 10 according to the above embodiment. The external visibility, peeling of the joint portion, and moldability of the curved portion 24 are evaluated, and the effectiveness of the manufacturing method and the manufacturing apparatus 10 is shown. In this evaluation, the external visibility of the winding part 4 was determined by whether or not the winding part 4 was visible from the outside of the can 1 when the molded can 1 was placed on a flat surface. . The presence or absence of peeling of the joint portion of the winding portion 4 was determined by whether or not peeling of the joint portion between the can lid 3 and the can body 2 of the winding portion 4 was observed. Further, the formability of the bending portion 24 was determined by the presence or absence of wrinkles or wrinkles generated in the bending 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。 Test conditions and evaluation results are shown in Table 1 below. As test conditions, the configuration of the punch used, the can diameter D 1 (mm) of the body portion 201 of the workpiece 100, the diameter D 2 (mm) of the tightening portion 400, and the tightening portion 400 with respect to the can diameter D 1 The ratio D 2 / D 1 of the diameter D 2 and the height H S (mm) of the inclined portion 204 were used. Here, as described above, the height H S of the inclined portion 204 is the length in the can axis direction C from the lower end of the body portion 201 to the lid body 300, that is, the length of the reduced diameter portion in the can axis direction C. is there. For cans formed from punches and workpieces satisfying such test conditions, the external visibility of the tightened portion, the presence or absence of peeling, and the formability of the curved portion were evaluated.

 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, indentation molding was performed on the workpiece 100 using the punch 60 shown in FIG. 4A. Can lid restraining portion 61, seaming restraining portion 62 and the curving section 63, Kan径D 1 of the body portion 201, in accordance with the height H S such diameter D 2 and the inclined portion 204 of the seaming section 400, the lid The winding part 400 can be accommodated in the winding restraint part 62 so that the main body 300 can come into contact with the can lid restraining part 61, and the inclined part 204 is formed on the molding surface of the curved molding part 63. 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。 Further, in Comparative Examples 1 to 3, indentation molding was performed on the workpiece 100 using the punch 600 shown in FIG. A punch 600 shown in FIG. 5 includes only a curved forming portion 601 having a forming surface 601A. That is, when such a punch 600 is used, the curved portion 601 can be directly bent with respect to the inclined portion 204. Further, in Comparative Example 4, indentation molding was performed on the workpiece 100 using the punch 610 shown in FIG. The punch 610 shown in FIG. 6 includes only the can lid restraining portion 611. That is, when such a punch 610 is used, the lid main body 300 is pushed upward from the can bottom side, whereby bending deformation can occur in the inclined portion 204.
 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. For the molded can body 1 according to Examples 1 to 5, when the can body 1 is placed on a flat surface, the winding fastening portion 4 is not visually recognized from the outside, and further, the joined portion of the winding fastening portion 4 It was confirmed that peeling was not confirmed and the sealing property was maintained. In Example 1, although some wrinkles were observed in the curved portion 24 of the can body 1, the wrinkles were visually recognized when the can body 1 was placed on a flat surface because it was formed on the can bottom side. Was not. In Examples 2 to 5, it was confirmed that wrinkles and wrinkles were not observed on the curved portion 24 of the can 1 and 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。 Incidentally, according to the evaluation results of Examples 3-5, regardless of the height H S of the inclined portion 204, the can body 1 which is excellent in moldability can be obtained was confirmed.
 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, for the can body 1 after molding according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3, when the can body 1 was placed on a flat surface, the winding portion 4 was visually recognized from the outside, and Separation of the joint portion was confirmed, and the bending portion 24 was not sufficiently formed. This is presumably because the inclined portion 204 was directly bent by the curved forming portion 601, so that the winding portion 4 was pulled in the radial direction R and the joint portion was peeled off. Further, the portion where the inclined portion 204 is bent is not stable, and the winding portion 4 is not sufficiently pushed upward from the can bottom side. Therefore, the forming accuracy of the bending portion 24 is low, and the can body 1 is made flat. It is considered that the winding part 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 body 1 according to Comparative Example 4, peeling of the joint portion of the tightening portion 400 was not noticeable as compared with the can body 1 according to Comparative Examples 1 to 3, but was partially observed. In addition, the winding tightening portion 400 and the bent inclined portion 204 interfere with each other, and the winding tightening portion 4 is not pushed in and is exposed when the can body 1 is placed on the flat surface. From this fact, it is considered that the restraint of the tightening portion 400 and the bending deformation of the inclined portion 204 are insufficiently controlled by pushing the lid main body 300 only by the can lid restraining 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 body 1 in which the tightening portion 4 is not visible from the outside while maintaining the sealing performance of the tightening portion 4, it is in contact with the lid body 300 of the workpiece 100. A forming surface 63A for forming the can lid restraining portion 61 for restraining, the winding fastening restraining portion 62 for housing the winding fastening portion 400 and restraining the movement in the radial direction R, and the bending-deformed inclined portion 204 into a curved shape protruding 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 having the curved forming portion 63 having the above. 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.
