Description

本発明は、合成樹脂製ボトルの内部に液状内容物が密封されてなる内容物充填ボトルの製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a content-filled bottle in which a liquid content is sealed inside a synthetic resin bottle.

従来、飲料等を内容物とする合成樹脂製ボトルとして、例えばポリエチレンテレフタレート製のブロー成形ボトル(PETボトル)が知られている。   Conventionally, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate blow-molded bottle (PET bottle) is known as a synthetic resin bottle containing beverages or the like.

この種のボトルにおいて、内部に液状内容物が充填された内容物充填ボトルを製造するときには、先ず、加熱殺菌のために高温(例えば約85℃)に加熱された飲料を充填する充填工程(一般にホット充填と言われる)を行い、次いで、キャップにより口部を封止する封止工程を行い、その後、ボトルに充填された内容物を冷却する冷却工程を行う。これによると、冷却工程による飲料の体積減少に伴ってボトル内が減圧状態となり、この影響からボトルの胴部が変形して外観上好ましくない。   When producing a bottle filled with liquid content in this type of bottle, first, a filling process (generally filling a beverage heated to a high temperature (for example, about 85 ° C.) for heat sterilization) This is referred to as hot filling), followed by a sealing step for sealing the mouth with a cap, and then a cooling step for cooling the contents filled in the bottle. According to this, the inside of a bottle will be in a pressure-reduced state with the volume reduction | decrease of the drink by a cooling process, and the trunk | drum of a bottle deform | transforms from this influence, and is unpreferable on an external appearance.

そこで、ボトルの底部に、一部を凹凸反転自在とする傾斜部を設けておき、内容物充填ボトルを製造するときに、その傾斜部を底部の外側に凸出させた状態で内容物の充填工程を行い、封止工程によりボトル口部をキャップによって封止し、内容物の冷却工程を行った後に、底部の傾斜部をボトルの内方に凹入させる凹入工程を行うようにしたものが知られている(特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, the bottom of the bottle is provided with an inclined part that can be partly inverted, and the contents are filled with the inclined part protruding outward from the bottom when manufacturing the content filling bottle. After performing the process, sealing the bottle mouth part with the cap by the sealing process, performing the cooling process of the contents, and performing the indentation process to indent the inclined part of the bottom part into the inside of the bottle Is known (see Patent Document 1).

これによって、冷却工程によりボトル内部が減圧して胴部が一時的に縮径方向に変形した状態となっても、その後の凹入工程により傾斜部がボトルの内方へ凹入加圧されるのでボトル内部の減圧状態が相殺され、胴部の減圧変形が解消される。このように、ボトル底部に凹凸反転自在の傾斜部を設け、内容物を封止した後に傾斜部を反転させるようにすれば、ボトルの減圧変形が解消でき、また、凹凸反転自在とする傾斜部により底部の薄肉化が可能となるので、ボトルの材料コストを低減することができる。
特表2006−501109
As a result, even if the inside of the bottle is depressurized by the cooling process and the body part is temporarily deformed in the diameter reducing direction, the inclined part is indented and pressurized inward of the bottle by the subsequent indentation process. As a result, the decompressed state inside the bottle is canceled out, and the decompression deformation of the body portion is eliminated. In this way, by providing an inclined part that can be turned upside down on the bottom of the bottle and sealing the contents, the inclined part is turned upside down. As a result, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the bottom, so that the material cost of the bottle can be reduced.
Special table 2006-501109

しかし、底部に凹凸反転自在とする傾斜部を設けても、前記冷却工程の後に前記凹入工程を行うので、冷却工程を経て凹入工程が行われるまでの間、胴部が一時的に変形することを防止することができない。そして、特に、PETボトルのように比較的薄肉の胴部を備えるものにおいては、凹入工程によりボトルの減圧変形が解消されても、冷却工程で一時的に変形した部分が変形痕となって胴部に残るおそれがある。   However, even if the bottom portion is provided with an inclined portion that can be turned upside down, the indentation step is performed after the cooling step, so that the body portion is temporarily deformed until the indentation step is performed after the cooling step. Can't be prevented. In particular, in the case of a bottle having a relatively thin body such as a PET bottle, even if the reduced pressure deformation of the bottle is eliminated by the indentation process, the part temporarily deformed in the cooling process becomes a deformation mark. There is a risk of remaining on the torso.

また、前記充填工程においてボトルの底部の傾斜部を外側に凸出させた状態で充填作業を行うために、凹入工程が行われるまでは、ボトルの底部の傾斜部を外側に凸出させた状態が維持される。このため、例えば、少なくとも冷却工程を行う装置への投入及び排出等のような凹入工程を行う装置までの装置間の搬送においてはコンベアによるボトルの自立搬送が行えず、搬送経路の装置構成が複雑化する不都合がある。   Further, in order to perform the filling operation in a state where the inclined portion of the bottom portion of the bottle is protruded outward in the filling step, the inclined portion of the bottom portion of the bottle is protruded outward until the recessed step is performed. State is maintained. For this reason, for example, in the conveyance between devices up to the device performing the indentation process such as charging and discharging at least to the device performing the cooling process, the bottle can not be independently conveyed by the conveyor, and the device configuration of the conveyance path is There is an inconvenience of complication.

本発明は、上記の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、冷却工程を経て凹入工程が行われるまでの間に生じる胴部の変形を抑制することができ、更に、少なくとも冷却工程を行う装置への投入及び排出においてボトルの自立搬送を可能とすることができる内容物充填ボトルの製造方法を提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and can suppress deformation of the body portion that occurs between the cooling process and the insertion process, and at least performs the cooling process. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing a content-filled bottle that can enable the bottle to be self-supported during loading and unloading into the apparatus.

本発明は、口部と、該口部の下方に連設された胴部と、該胴部の下部を閉塞する底部とを備える合成樹脂製ボトルの内部に液状内容物が密封されてなる内容物充填ボトルの製造方法に関するものである。本発明においては、前記底部に、胴部の下端に連設された接地面を有する脚部と、該脚部に包囲された領域に形成されて胴部内方乃至胴部外方に向かって反転自在に傾斜する傾斜部と、該傾斜部に包囲された底部中央部とを備えると共に、前記傾斜部の外周縁に沿って環状に形成されて該傾斜部の反転時に外周側のヒンジとなる外周ヒンジ部と、該傾斜部の内周縁に沿って環状に形成されて該傾斜部の反転時に内周側のヒンジとなる内周ヒンジ部と、該傾斜部の外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間に環状に形成されて該傾斜部を外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間で屈曲自在とする中間ヒンジ部とを備えるボトルを採用する。   The present invention relates to a content in which a liquid content is sealed inside a synthetic resin bottle including a mouth portion, a body portion provided continuously below the mouth portion, and a bottom portion that closes a lower portion of the body portion. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a product-filled bottle. In the present invention, a leg portion having a grounding surface connected to the lower end of the trunk portion at the bottom portion and a region surrounded by the leg portion and inverted toward the trunk inner portion or the trunk outer portion. An outer periphery that includes an inclined portion that is freely inclined and a bottom center portion that is surrounded by the inclined portion, and that is formed in an annular shape along the outer peripheral edge of the inclined portion, and serves as a hinge on the outer peripheral side when the inclined portion is reversed. A hinge part, an inner peripheral hinge part formed in an annular shape along the inner peripheral edge of the inclined part and serving as a hinge on the inner peripheral side when the inclined part is reversed; an outer peripheral hinge part and an inner peripheral hinge part of the inclined part; A bottle provided with an intermediate hinge portion that is annularly formed between the outer peripheral hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion so as to be bendable between the outer peripheral hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion.

前記目的を達成するために、本発明は、先ず、前記外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部を胴部外方に向かって反転凸出させた状態でボトルの内部に液状内容物を充填する充填工程を行い、次いで、該充填工程により液状内容物が充填されたボトルの口部にキャップを嵌着して封止する封止工程を行う。なお、該充填工程においては、前記ボトルに高温(例えば約85℃)に加熱された内容物が充填(所謂ホット充填)される。続いて、前記封止工程により内部に液状内容物が封止されたボトルの凸出状態とされている傾斜部のうち外周ヒンジ部と中間ヒンジ部との間をボトル内方に反転凹入させて、外周ヒンジ部と中間ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が胴部中央に向かって上方に傾斜し、且つ、中間ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が胴部中央に向かって下方に傾斜する形状に底部を形成する第1凹入工程を行う。次いで、該第1凹入工程により外周ヒンジ部と中間ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が凹入されたボトル内部の液状内容物を冷却する冷却工程を行う。そして、該冷却工程により内部の液状内容物が冷却されたボトルの凸出状態とされている中間ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部をボトル内方に反転凹入させて、外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が胴部中央に向かって上方に傾斜する形状に底部を形成する第2凹入工程を行う。   In order to achieve the above object, first, the present invention provides a liquid content inside the bottle in a state in which an inclined portion between the outer peripheral hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion is reversely projected outward from the body portion. A filling process for filling the product is performed, and then a sealing process is performed in which the cap is fitted and sealed to the mouth of the bottle filled with the liquid content in the filling process. In the filling step, the bottle is filled with the contents heated to a high temperature (for example, about 85 ° C.) (so-called hot filling). Subsequently, the inclined portion in which the liquid content is sealed inside by the sealing step, and the portion between the outer peripheral hinge portion and the intermediate hinge portion of the inclined portion that is in the protruding state is inverted and recessed inward of the bottle. The inclined portion between the outer hinge portion and the intermediate hinge portion is inclined upward toward the center of the trunk portion, and the inclined portion between the intermediate hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion is directed toward the barrel center. A first indentation step is performed to form the bottom in a shape that is inclined downward. Next, a cooling step is performed to cool the liquid content inside the bottle in which the inclined portion between the outer hinge portion and the intermediate hinge portion is recessed by the first recess step. The inclined portion between the intermediate hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion, which is in the protruding state of the bottle whose liquid content inside is cooled by the cooling step, is inverted and recessed inward of the bottle, and the outer periphery A second indentation step is performed in which the inclined portion between the hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion is inclined so as to incline upward toward the center of the trunk portion.

本発明の方法によれば、封止工程の後に第1凹入工程を行う。第1凹入工程においては、外周ヒンジ部と中間ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が胴部中央に向かって上方に傾斜し、且つ、中間ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が胴部中央に向かって下方に傾斜する形状となるように、外周ヒンジ部と中間ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部を反転凹入させる。これにより、傾斜部が中間ヒンジ部を介して屈曲され、凸出状態とされていた傾斜部のうち中間ヒンジ部の外側のみが胴部の内方に凹入された状態となる。そして凹入された傾斜部によりボトルの容積減少が生じ、続いて行われる冷却工程に先立ってボトル内部が加圧状態(陽圧)となる。しかもこのとき、外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部全体を凹入した場合に比べて、ボトルの容積減少は小さいので、胴部が著しく膨出変形することはない。   According to the method of the present invention, the first indentation step is performed after the sealing step. In the first recessing step, the inclined portion between the outer hinge portion and the intermediate hinge portion is inclined upward toward the center of the trunk portion, and the inclined portion between the intermediate hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion is The inclined portion between the outer peripheral hinge portion and the intermediate hinge portion is inverted and recessed so as to have a shape inclined downward toward the center of the trunk portion. As a result, the inclined portion is bent through the intermediate hinge portion, and only the outer side of the intermediate hinge portion among the inclined portions that are in a protruding state is recessed inward of the trunk portion. And the volume reduction of a bottle arises by the recessed inclination part, and the inside of a bottle will be in a pressurized state (positive pressure) prior to the cooling process performed subsequently. In addition, at this time, since the volume reduction of the bottle is small as compared with the case where the entire inclined portion between the outer peripheral hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion is recessed, the body portion does not significantly bulge and deform.

そして、第1凹入工程を行った後に冷却工程を行う。冷却工程では、ボトル内部の液状内容物が冷却され、内容物の体積減少に伴ってボトル内の圧力が著しく減少するが、第1凹入工程によってボトルの容積が予め適度に減少されている(ボトル内部が適度に加圧状態となっている)分の圧力低下が相殺され、ボトル内の圧力低下を小とすることができる。これによって、冷却工程における胴部の極度な減圧変形を抑えることができ、胴部の減圧変形を小として変形痕の発生を確実に防止することができる。   And a cooling process is performed after performing a 1st indentation process. In the cooling step, the liquid content inside the bottle is cooled, and the pressure in the bottle is remarkably reduced as the volume of the content decreases. However, the volume of the bottle is appropriately reduced in advance by the first indentation step ( The pressure drop corresponding to the reason that the inside of the bottle is appropriately pressurized is offset, and the pressure drop inside the bottle can be reduced. Accordingly, extreme decompression deformation of the body portion in the cooling process can be suppressed, and deformation of the body portion can be reliably prevented by reducing the decompression deformation of the body portion.

その後、第2凹入工程により、外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が胴部中央に向かって上方に傾斜する形状となるように、外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部を反転凹入させる。これにより、冷却工程によって生じたボトル内部の減圧状態を確実に解消することができる。   Thereafter, in the second recessing step, the outer peripheral hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion are arranged such that the inclined portion between the outer peripheral hinge portion and the inner peripheral hinge portion is inclined upward toward the center of the trunk portion. Invert the concave part between them. Thereby, the pressure reduction state inside the bottle caused by the cooling process can be surely solved.

また、本発明においては、前記合成樹脂製ボトルの底部は、前記第1凹入工程により外周ヒンジ部と中間ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部がボトル内方に反転凹入されたとき、該傾斜部及び底部中央部は前記脚部の接地面よりも上方位置で該脚部に包囲された内方に収納されることが好ましい。これによれば、前記第1凹入工程を行った後には、中間ヒンジ部を介して屈曲された外周ヒンジ部と内周ヒンジ部との間の傾斜部が接地面よりも下方に凸出することがないので、少なくとも冷却工程を行う装置への投入及び排出においてボトルの自立搬送を可能とすることができる。   Further, in the present invention, the bottom of the synthetic resin bottle is inclined when the inclined portion between the outer hinge portion and the intermediate hinge portion is inverted and recessed inward of the bottle by the first recessed step. It is preferable that the center portion and the bottom center portion are housed inwardly surrounded by the leg portion at a position above the ground contact surface of the leg portion. According to this, after performing the first indenting step, the inclined part between the outer peripheral hinge part and the inner peripheral hinge part bent through the intermediate hinge part protrudes downward from the ground plane. Therefore, it is possible to enable the bottles to be independently transported at least when they are charged into and discharged from the apparatus that performs the cooling process.

The first indentation device 4 for performing the first indentation step, the sterilization device 5 for performing the sterilization step, the cooling device 6 for performing the cooling step, and the second indentation device 7 for performing the second indentation step are provided. . A conveyance path 8 is provided between the apparatuses, and a synthetic resin bottle 9 (see FIG. 2), which will be described later, is conveyed along the conveyance path 8.

ここで先ず、本実施形態において採用するボトル9について説明する。このボトル9は、図2に示すように、ブロー成形され、所望により耐熱性を付与するためにヒートセットされたポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂(PET)製であって、口部10と、該口部10の下方に肩部11を介して連設された筒状の胴部12と、該胴部12の下部を閉塞する底部13とを備えている。口部10の外周にはキャップ14(図2において仮想線示する)を螺着するための螺着部15が形成されている。   Here, first, the bottle 9 employed in the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottle 9 is made of polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET) that is blow-molded and heat-set to impart heat resistance if desired. A cylindrical body portion 12 is provided continuously below the shoulder portion 11 via a shoulder portion 11, and a bottom portion 13 that closes a lower portion of the body portion 12. A screwing portion 15 for screwing a cap 14 (shown in phantom lines in FIG. 2) is formed on the outer periphery of the mouth portion 10.

ボトル9の底部13は、図2及び図3に示すように、胴部12の下端に連続して形成された環状の脚部16と、該脚部16に包囲された領域に形成された傾斜部17と、底部13の中央部に形成された内方突出部18(底部中央部)とを備えている。脚部16は胴部12の下方に向かって突出するように湾曲した形状であり、その下方先端に、ボトル9を自立させるときに接地する接地面19を備えている。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bottom portion 13 of the bottle 9 includes an annular leg portion 16 formed continuously at the lower end of the body portion 12, and an inclination formed in a region surrounded by the leg portion 16. A portion 17 and an inward projecting portion 18 (bottom center portion) formed at the center portion of the bottom portion 13 are provided. The leg portion 16 has a curved shape so as to protrude downward from the body portion 12, and is provided with a grounding surface 19 at the lower end thereof for grounding when the bottle 9 is self-supporting.

前記傾斜部17の外周縁(脚部16の内周縁との境界)には、外周ヒンジ部20が形成されている。また、前記傾斜部17の内周縁(内方突出部9の外周縁との境界)には、内周ヒンジ部21が形成されている。更に、外周ヒンジ部20と内周ヒンジ部21との間には中間ヒンジ部22が形成されている。傾斜部17は、外周ヒンジ部20と中間ヒンジ部22との間で反転自在に傾斜する第1反転部23と、中間ヒンジ部22と内周ヒンジ部21との間で反転自在に傾斜する第2反転部24とによって構成されている。   An outer peripheral hinge portion 20 is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the inclined portion 17 (boundary with the inner peripheral edge of the leg portion 16). Further, an inner peripheral hinge portion 21 is formed on the inner peripheral edge of the inclined portion 17 (boundary with the outer peripheral edge of the inward protruding portion 9). Further, an intermediate hinge portion 22 is formed between the outer peripheral hinge portion 20 and the inner peripheral hinge portion 21. The inclined portion 17 includes a first reversing portion 23 that is reversibly inclined between the outer hinge portion 20 and the intermediate hinge portion 22, and a first reversing portion that is reversibly inclined between the intermediate hinge portion 22 and the inner peripheral hinge portion 21. And 2 reversing unit 24.

内周ヒンジ部21は、傾斜部17よりも薄肉に形成されている。外周ヒンジ部20と中間ヒンジ部22とは、傾斜部17よりも薄肉に形成されており、更にボトル9の内方に窪んだ断面視湾曲形状とされている。これによって、外周ヒンジ部20と中間ヒンジ部22と内周ヒンジ部21とは、ヒンジとしての折り曲げ易さを確保しながら第1反転部23及び第2反転部24の反転動作に対する高い折り曲げ強度を得ている。   The inner peripheral hinge portion 21 is formed thinner than the inclined portion 17. The outer peripheral hinge portion 20 and the intermediate hinge portion 22 are formed thinner than the inclined portion 17 and have a curved shape in sectional view that is recessed inward of the bottle 9. Accordingly, the outer hinge portion 20, the intermediate hinge portion 22, and the inner hinge portion 21 have a high bending strength with respect to the reversing operation of the first reversing portion 23 and the second reversing portion 24 while ensuring the ease of bending as a hinge. It has gained.

内方突出部18は、内周ヒンジ部21から胴部12の軸線に向かって立ち上がって胴部12の内部に突出し(外側から見て凹入されている)、頂部が略平坦な大略円錐形状に形成されている。内方突出部18の頂部の中心はボトル9の軸心(即ち、底部13の中心)に略一致している。なお、内方突出部18は、底部13の外径に応じて適宜の大きさに形成されている。   The inward projecting portion 18 rises from the inner peripheral hinge portion 21 toward the axis of the trunk portion 12 and projects into the trunk portion 12 (indented when viewed from the outside), and has a substantially conical shape with a substantially flat top portion. Is formed. The center of the top portion of the inward projecting portion 18 substantially coincides with the axis of the bottle 9 (that is, the center of the bottom portion 13). The inward projecting portion 18 is formed in an appropriate size according to the outer diameter of the bottom portion 13.

また、ボトル9の底部13は、図3に示すように、中間ヒンジ部22を介して傾斜部17を屈曲させることで、第1反転部23が胴部3中央に向かって上方に傾斜し、且つ、第2反転部24が胴部12の中央に向かって下方に傾斜するようにして、第2反転部24のみを外側に凸出状態とすることができるようになっている。更に、このとき、第2反転部24が外側に凸出状態にあっても、第2反転部24は脚部16の接地面19よりも上方に位置して脚部16に包囲された内方に収納されるようになっている。また、底部13は、第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが共に胴部12の中央に向かって下方に傾斜した凸出状態とすることができる。このときには、第2反転部24が脚部16の接地面19よりも下方に張り出される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the bottom portion 13 of the bottle 9 bends the inclined portion 17 via the intermediate hinge portion 22, so that the first reversing portion 23 is inclined upward toward the center of the trunk portion 3, In addition, the second reversing portion 24 is inclined downward toward the center of the body portion 12 so that only the second reversing portion 24 can be projected outward. Further, at this time, even if the second reversing portion 24 protrudes outward, the second reversing portion 24 is located above the ground contact surface 19 of the leg portion 16 and is surrounded by the leg portion 16. It is designed to be stored in. Further, the bottom portion 13 can be in a protruding state in which both the first reversing portion 23 and the second reversing portion 24 are inclined downward toward the center of the body portion 12. At this time, the second reversing portion 24 protrudes below the ground contact surface 19 of the leg portion 16.

更に詳しくは、第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが共に下方に傾斜したとき、中間ヒンジ部22は、接地面19から外周ヒンジ部20までの範囲a内に位置するように設けられている。そして、傾斜部17における中間ヒンジ部22の位置は、外周ヒンジ部20を介して第1反転部23が反転するときの中間ヒンジ部22の移動距離bと、第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが共に下方に傾斜したときに接地面19から下方への張り出した第2反転部24の張り出し量cとの関係がb≧cとなるように設定されている。   More specifically, when both the first reversing portion 23 and the second reversing portion 24 are inclined downward, the intermediate hinge portion 22 is provided so as to be located within a range a from the ground surface 19 to the outer peripheral hinge portion 20. ing. And the position of the intermediate hinge part 22 in the inclination part 17 is the moving distance b of the intermediate hinge part 22 when the 1st inversion part 23 inverts via the outer periphery hinge part 20, and the 1st inversion part 23 and the 2nd inversion. When both the parts 24 are inclined downward, the relationship with the projecting amount c of the second reversing part 24 projecting downward from the ground contact surface 19 is set such that b ≧ c.

本実施形態において採用するボトル9は、第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが共に凹入されている状態が内容物充填ボトルとして製品となる形状であり、その容量(充填する液状内容物の量)は500ミリリットルとされるものである。そして、第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが共に凸出する状態では、ボトル9の容積が約25ミリリットル増加した状態(略最大容積)となり、この状態から、第2反転部24が外側に凸出した状態で、第1反転部23のみを内側に凹入させると、前記の略最大容積よりも約10ミリリットル減少する。   The bottle 9 employed in the present embodiment has a shape in which the state where both the first reversing part 23 and the second reversing part 24 are recessed is a product as a content filling bottle, and its capacity (liquid content to be filled) The amount of the product is 500 ml. And in the state where both the 1st inversion part 23 and the 2nd inversion part 24 protrude, it will be in the state (substantially maximum volume) which the volume of the bottle 9 increased about 25 milliliters, From this state, the 2nd inversion part 24 If only the first reversing part 23 is recessed inward in a state of protruding outward, the volume is reduced by about 10 milliliters from the substantially maximum volume.

なお、本実施形態で採用するボトル9は、外周ヒンジ部20、中間ヒンジ部22、及び内周ヒンジ部21を介して第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが各別に反転するようになっているが、第1反転部23と第2反転部24とは、夫々において凹入又は凸出させた後に不用意に戻り方向に反転しないように、傾斜部17の面形状、傾斜部17の傾斜角度、及び傾斜部17の大きさ等が適切に設定されている。   In addition, the bottle 9 employ | adopted by this embodiment is set so that the 1st inversion part 23 and the 2nd inversion part 24 may invert separately through the outer periphery hinge part 20, the intermediate hinge part 22, and the inner periphery hinge part 21, respectively. However, the first reversing portion 23 and the second reversing portion 24 are formed so that the surface shape of the inclined portion 17 and the inclined portion 17 do not inadvertently reverse in the return direction after being recessed or protruded in each. The inclination angle and the size of the inclined portion 17 are appropriately set.

次に、本実施形態における内容物充填ボトルの製造方法を説明する。ボトル9は、図1を参照して、先ず、洗浄装置1に投入され、内部及び外部の洗浄が行われる。次いで、充填装置2に搬送された洗浄済みのボトル9は、その内部に約85〜87℃に加熱された飲料(液状内容物)が充填される(充填工程)。なお、充填装置2に搬送されるボトル9は、その底部13の第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが共に外側に凸出状態に形成されている。   Next, the manufacturing method of the content filling bottle in this embodiment is demonstrated. With reference to FIG. 1, the bottle 9 is first put into the cleaning device 1 to perform internal and external cleaning. Next, the washed bottle 9 conveyed to the filling device 2 is filled with a beverage (liquid content) heated to about 85 to 87 ° C. (filling step). In addition, the bottle 9 conveyed to the filling device 2 is formed such that the first reversing portion 23 and the second reversing portion 24 of the bottom portion 13 protrude outward.

続いて、内部に飲料が充填されたボトル9が封止装置3に投入され、ボトル9の口部10にキャップ14が螺着される。これによって、ボトル9は底部13の第1反転部23と第2反転部24とが共に外側に凸出した状態で、ボトル9の内部に飲料が封止される(封止工程)。その後、封止装置3から搬出されたボトル9は、第1凹入装置4に投入される。   Subsequently, the bottle 9 filled with the beverage is put into the sealing device 3, and the cap 14 is screwed onto the mouth 10 of the bottle 9. As a result, the beverage is sealed inside the bottle 9 with the first reversing portion 23 and the second reversing portion 24 of the bottom portion 13 protruding outward (sealing step). Thereafter, the bottle 9 carried out from the sealing device 3 is put into the first indenting device 4.

第1凹入装置4においては、ボトル9の第1反転部23が反転凹入される(第1凹入工程)。即ち、先ず、図4(a)に示すように、封止装置3から搬出されたボトル9がボトル投入ターレット25に保持されて投入される。ボトル投入ターレット25は、その回転によりボトル9を円弧状に搬送するので、搬送中にボトル9の外れを防止するための規制板26を備えている。次いで、図4(b)に示すように、ボトル9の肩部11を把持するボトルチャック27にボトル9が受け渡される。ボトル9の受け渡しが完了した後、図4(c)に示すように、ボトル9を載置して支持するボトル支持テーブル28が上昇し、ボトル支持テーブル28上にボトル9が載置される。これにより、ボトル9は、ボトルチャック27とボトル支持テーブル28とに上下方向から挟持された状態となり、上動不能に位置決めされる。ボトル支持テーブル28は、ボトル9の底部13に対応する下方が開放されている。   In the first indenting device 4, the first inversion part 23 of the bottle 9 is inversion recessed (first indenting step). That is, first, as shown in FIG. 4A, the bottle 9 carried out from the sealing device 3 is held by the bottle charging turret 25 and charged. Since the bottle insertion turret 25 conveys the bottle 9 in an arc shape by its rotation, the bottle insertion turret 25 includes a regulating plate 26 for preventing the bottle 9 from being detached during the conveyance. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the bottle 9 is delivered to the bottle chuck 27 that holds the shoulder portion 11 of the bottle 9. After the delivery of the bottle 9 is completed, as shown in FIG. 4C, the bottle support table 28 on which the bottle 9 is placed and supported rises, and the bottle 9 is placed on the bottle support table 28. As a result, the bottle 9 is sandwiched between the bottle chuck 27 and the bottle support table 28 from above and below, and is positioned so as not to move up. The bottom of the bottle support table 28 corresponding to the bottom 13 of the bottle 9 is opened.

そして、この位置決め状態を維持して、図4(d)に示すように、第1アクチベータパンチ29が上昇し、突出状態の第1反転部23と第2反転部24との間の中間ヒンジ部22を押し上げる。これによって、中間ヒンジ部22が内方に屈曲して第1反転部23のみが反転凹入される。このとき、第1アクチベータパンチ29は、第2反転部24の凸出形状に略対応する形状をその先端に備えており、第1アクチベータパンチ29の先端により中間ヒンジ部22を押し上げることで第2反転部24の凸出を維持しつつ傾斜部17の一部である第1反転部23のみを凹入させる。   Then, while maintaining this positioning state, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), the first activator punch 29 is raised, and the intermediate hinge portion between the first inversion portion 23 and the second inversion portion 24 in the protruding state Push 22 up. As a result, the intermediate hinge portion 22 is bent inward, and only the first inversion portion 23 is inverted and recessed. At this time, the first activator punch 29 has a shape that substantially corresponds to the protruding shape of the second reversing portion 24 at its tip, and the second activator punch 29 is pushed up by the tip of the first activator punch 29 so that the second Only the 1st inversion part 23 which is a part of the inclination part 17 is dented, maintaining the protrusion of the inversion part 24. FIG.

その後、図示しないが、第1アクチベータパンチ29をボトル支持テーブル28の下方に下降させ、ボトル支持テーブル28を下降させてボトル9から離反させて、ボトルチャック27による保持状態とする。そして、ボトルチャック27による保持を解除してボトル9を、図示しないボトル排出ターレット等に受け渡し、更に排出コンベア等により排出搬送する。このとき、ボトル9は第1反転部23のみが凹入されていることにより、脚部16の接地面19より下方に凸出されていないので、自立搬送を行うことができる。また、第1凹入装置4において第1反転部23が反転凹入されたボトル9は、第1反転部23が凹入した分の容積が減少され(本実施形態においては第1反転部23が凹入したことによりボトル9の容積が約10ミリリットル減少し)、内部が加圧された状態となる。   Thereafter, although not shown, the first activator punch 29 is lowered below the bottle support table 28, and the bottle support table 28 is lowered and separated from the bottle 9 to be held by the bottle chuck 27. And the holding | maintenance by the bottle chuck | zipper 27 is cancelled | released, and the bottle 9 is delivered to the bottle discharge | emission turret etc. which are not shown in figure, and also is discharged and conveyed by the discharge conveyor etc. At this time, since the bottle 9 is not protruded downward from the ground contact surface 19 of the leg portion 16 because only the first reversing portion 23 is recessed, the bottle 9 can be carried independently. Further, in the bottle 9 in which the first reversing unit 23 is reversed and recessed in the first recessed device 4, the volume of the first reversing unit 23 that is recessed is reduced (in this embodiment, the first reversing unit 23. ), The volume of the bottle 9 is reduced by about 10 milliliters), and the interior is pressurized.

第1凹入装置4から排出されたボトル9は、図1を参照して、殺菌装置5によるボトル9の殺菌処理を経て、冷却装置6に投入される。冷却装置6においてはボトル9に冷却水或いは冷却用エアが吹き付けられることによってボトル9の内部に充填された飲料の温度を低下させる。このときの冷却過程において、ボトル9の内部に充填された飲料が放熱収縮し、それに伴ってボトル9の内圧が減少する。一方、ボトル9は、冷却装置6に投入されるのに先立って第1凹入装置4により、第1反転部23のみが凹入されて内部が加圧状態とされている。これによって、冷却によりボトル9の内圧が減少しても、それに伴って胴部12が著しく変形することもなく冷却装置6から排出される。   With reference to FIG. 1, the bottle 9 discharged from the first indenting device 4 is sterilized by the sterilizing device 5 and then fed into the cooling device 6. In the cooling device 6, the temperature of the beverage filled in the bottle 9 is lowered by spraying cooling water or cooling air onto the bottle 9. In the cooling process at this time, the beverage filled in the bottle 9 is thermally contracted, and the internal pressure of the bottle 9 decreases accordingly. On the other hand, prior to the bottle 9 being put into the cooling device 6, only the first inversion portion 23 is recessed by the first indenting device 4 and the inside is in a pressurized state. As a result, even if the internal pressure of the bottle 9 decreases due to cooling, the body 12 is discharged from the cooling device 6 without any significant deformation.

冷却装置6から排出されたボトル9は、続いて、第2凹入装置7に投入され、ボトル9の第2反転部24が反転凹入される(第2凹入工程)。第2凹入装置7は、第1凹入装置4と同様に構成されており、第2アクチベータパンチ30の先端形状のみが第1アクチベータパンチ29と異なっている。従って、第2凹入装置7の作動も第1凹入装置4と略同様である。即ち、先ず、図5(a)に示すように、冷却装置6から搬出されたボトル9がボトル投入ターレット31に保持されて投入される。ボトル投入ターレット31は、搬送中にボトル9の外れを防止するための規制板32を備えている。次いで、図5(b)に示すように、ボトル9の肩部11を把持するボトルチャック33にボトル9が受け渡され、図5(c)に示すように、ボトル支持テーブル34上にボトル9が載置される。   The bottle 9 discharged from the cooling device 6 is subsequently put into the second indenting device 7, and the second reversing part 24 of the bottle 9 is inversion recessed (second indenting step). The second indenting device 7 is configured in the same manner as the first indenting device 4, and only the tip shape of the second activator punch 30 is different from the first activator punch 29. Accordingly, the operation of the second indenting device 7 is substantially the same as that of the first indenting device 4. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 5A, the bottle 9 carried out from the cooling device 6 is held by the bottle charging turret 31 and charged. The bottle insertion turret 31 includes a regulation plate 32 for preventing the bottle 9 from being detached during conveyance. Next, as shown in FIG. 5B, the bottle 9 is delivered to the bottle chuck 33 that holds the shoulder 11 of the bottle 9, and the bottle 9 is placed on the bottle support table 34 as shown in FIG. Is placed.

そして、図5(d)に示すように、第2アクチベータパンチ30が上昇し、突出状態の第2反転部24を押し上げ反転凹入させる。このとき、第2アクチベータパンチ30は、内方突出部18に略対応する形状をその先端に備えており、第2アクチベータパンチ30の先端により内方突出部18を押し上げることで第2反転部24が反転凹入される。これにより、中間ヒンジ部22の屈曲状態が解除され、外周ヒンジ部20と内周ヒンジ部21との間の傾斜部17全体である第1反転部23から第2反転部24にかけてが胴部12の内方に凹入された状態となる。そして、第1反転部23から第2反転部24にかけての傾斜部17が凹入状態となったことで、その分の容積が更に減少し、それに伴ってボトル9内部の減圧状態が相殺されるので、胴部12の減圧変形を確実に防止することができる。   Then, as shown in FIG. 5 (d), the second activator punch 30 is raised, and the protruding second reversing portion 24 is pushed up to be reversibly recessed. At this time, the second activator punch 30 has a shape substantially corresponding to the inward projecting portion 18 at its tip, and the second inversion portion 24 is pushed up by pushing the inward projecting portion 18 by the tip of the second activator punch 30. Is inverted and recessed. Accordingly, the bent state of the intermediate hinge portion 22 is released, and the body portion 12 extends from the first reversing portion 23 to the second reversing portion 24 that is the entire inclined portion 17 between the outer peripheral hinge portion 20 and the inner peripheral hinge portion 21. It is in a state of being recessed inward. And since the inclination part 17 from the 1st inversion part 23 to the 2nd inversion part 24 was in the indented state, the part | minute volume further reduced, and the decompression state inside the bottle 9 is canceled in connection with it. Therefore, the decompression deformation of the trunk portion 12 can be reliably prevented.

その後、図示しないが、第2アクチベータパンチ30をボトル支持テーブル34の下方に下降させ、ボトル支持テーブル34を下降させてボトル9から離反させて、ボトルチャック33による保持状態とし、更に、ボトルチャック33による保持を解除してボトル9を、図示しないボトル排出ターレット等に受け渡し、更に排出コンベア等により排出搬送する。   Thereafter, although not shown, the second activator punch 30 is lowered below the bottle support table 34, the bottle support table 34 is lowered and separated from the bottle 9, and is held by the bottle chuck 33. The bottle 9 is transferred to a bottle discharge turret (not shown) after being released, and further discharged and conveyed by a discharge conveyor or the like.

以上のように、本実施形態においては、第1凹入装置4における第1凹入工程により第2反転部24の胴部12の外側への凸出を維持して第1反転部23のみを反転凹入させるので、冷却装置6における冷却工程により冷却されたボトル9の内圧減少を適度に緩和することができ、第2凹入装置7における第2凹入工程によりボトル9内部の減圧状態が相殺されるまでの間の胴部12の減圧変形を小とすることができる。しかも、第1凹入装置4から排出されたボトル9は、第1反転部23のみの凹入により自立搬送が可能とされるので、例えば第1凹入装置4以降の各装置間の搬送路8においてコンベア等を採用することができ、製造ラインの搬送装置の構成が複雑化するのを防止することができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, only the first reversing portion 23 is maintained while the protrusion of the second reversing portion 24 to the outside of the body portion 12 is maintained by the first recessed step in the first recessed portion 4. Since the reversal recess is made, the decrease in the internal pressure of the bottle 9 cooled by the cooling process in the cooling device 6 can be moderated moderately, and the reduced pressure state inside the bottle 9 can be reduced by the second recessing process in the second recessing device 7. The decompression deformation of the body portion 12 until it is canceled can be reduced. Moreover, since the bottle 9 discharged from the first indenting device 4 can be self-supported by indenting only the first reversing unit 23, for example, the conveying path between the devices after the first indenting device 4 8, a conveyor or the like can be employed, and it is possible to prevent the configuration of the transport device of the production line from becoming complicated.
