Description

  The present invention relates to a novel double-structure drum can for efficiently reusing (recycling) or reusing (reusing) a drum can and a method for producing the same.

  Conventionally, when recycling drums, scraps or wastes were treated with contaminants attached. For this reason, the risk of leakage of harmful substances and the cause of accidents was great. In addition, when the contents are refilled and reused, the inside must be cleaned, but there are cases in which cleaning is impossible or difficult, such as paint, synthetic resin, grease, and resin.

  In order to solve this problem, a regeneration method is known in which a drum can is distributed as a double structure composed of an outer can and an inner can, recovered after use, and only the inner can is replaced (see Patent Document 1).

  The conventional double structure drum can (top curl wrapping composite container) used in such a drum can recycling system incorporates an inner can into an outer can, winds a fastening band around an engaging portion, and tightens the end portion. And the overlapped portion was fixed by spot welding or the like (see Patent Document 2).

JP 2003-170932 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-22924

However, in the conventional method, it is necessary to use a fastening band for the engaging portion between the inner can and the outer can, and therefore, it is necessary to tighten the fastening band. Also, the fastening band has been a cause of increasing the component cost and product weight. Furthermore, since the fastening between the inner can and the outer can is insufficient only with the fastening band, it is indispensable to further implement a fastening means such as welding after the fastening band is attached.
In other words, the inner can of the conventional double structure drum can is made of “thin thin metal having an outer curl portion whose opening end is curved outward in a substantially arc shape so that it can be fitted to the inner curl portion of the outer can. The outer curl portion (d, 2a of the same document 2) was bent in an arc shape in advance, but the end portion by the fastening band. After overlapping, the outer curl portion of the inner can was not long enough to be wound around the inner curl portion of the outer can (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 4 of the same document 2). On the contrary, since the overlapping portion is short, it is possible to easily apply fixing means such as welding, heat sealing and shrinking to this portion, thereby ensuring the strength.

  In addition, the fixing work (welding etc.) of the engaging portion has to be performed manually, which requires labor, causing human costs and increased manufacturing time, and non-uniform quality due to manual work. It was with me.

  Further, when the inner can is fixed by welding, a brazing filler metal or the like remains on the welded portion even if the inner can is removed, and a problem that it is difficult to fit a new inner can unless it is removed cleanly with a file or the like. Furthermore, the remaining welds are very sharp and often injured hands during work.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the conventional double drum can requires a fastening means such as a fastening band and welding at the engaging portion between the inner can and the outer can, which increases the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing time. It was that it was the cause. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a novel double-structured drum can and a method for manufacturing the same that can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost and the like by eliminating the need for a fastening band and a fixing operation.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and when assembling the inner can into the outer can, the opening end (top) of the inner can is wound around the top curl portion of the outer can, thereby being tightened and fixed. It is the most important feature.

The double structure drum can according to the present invention is a double structure drum can used in a recycling system, in which an inner can 1 is inserted into an outer can 2 having a top curl portion 2a, and the top portion 1a of the inner can. Is wound approximately 90 to 135 degrees as viewed from the horizontal plane (XX) so as to follow the curled surface in the top curl portion 2a of the outer can, and the inner can and the outer can are separated without applying other fixing means. It is fixed.

  According to such a configuration, even if the fastening band is not attached or welded, the inner can and the outer can are firmly fixed, and the inner can does not wobble or come off. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost of parts of the fastening band and eliminate the need for welding work and the like.

The top portion 1a of the inner can in this double structure drum can is wound larger than the horizontal plane (XX), and its end portion P does not reach the end portion Q of the top curl portion (2a). It is preferable. The inner can is firmly fixed to the outer can without any fixing means such as welding by being caught larger than the horizontal plane. Furthermore, since the end portion P of the inner can is shorter than the end portion Q of the top curl portion of the outer can (it does not matter if it has almost reached the inner can), it becomes easy to remove the inner can after the collection.
That is, by having such a configuration, there is an extremely remarkable effect that it is possible to obtain a double-structure drum can that is difficult to remove and easy to remove.

  In addition, from the experience of the present inventors, it is preferable that the amount of the top portion of the inner can be about 90 degrees to 135 degrees as viewed from the horizontal plane XX. This is because if the wrapping angle is smaller than 90 degrees, the fixing force of the inner can becomes insufficient, and conversely if the wrapping angle is more than 135 degrees, it becomes difficult to remove the inner can after use. Note that even if the winding is more than 135 degrees, the end P does not reach the end Q completely and can be removed if there is even a slight gap, but even if it is further wound, it is only difficult to remove.

The manufacturing method of the double-structured drum can according to the present invention is a can body material formed into a cylindrical shape with respect to an outer can which is substantially cylindrical and has a top curl portion at the upper end and a bottom plate attached and closed. A step S1 of forming a cylindrical inner can having a bottom plate attached to the bottom and an open top, a step S2 of inserting the inner can into the outer can, and the top of the inner can of the outer can a process S3 fix the said can and the outer canister without applying other fixing means tighten winding 90 degrees to 135 degrees approximately as viewed from a horizontal plane (X-X) along the curled surface of the top curl portion , Including.

  In this case, it is preferable to perform at least one end treatment for expanding the top of the inner can in advance before the step S2 of inserting the inner can into the outer can. Although such an end process is not necessarily required, the winding process S3 is facilitated by this process. More specifically, the end treatment includes nasal killing, semi-circular curl, flange out, and the like, and at least one roller of the top of the inner can is attached to one or more rollers on the top curl of the outer can. For example, it is possible to perform winding and tightening around the entire circumference by rotating either a drum or a roller.

The double-structure drum can according to the present invention does not need to fix the inner can and the outer can with a fastening band, welding, or the like, and is lighter than the conventional one and can be manufactured at a lower cost. Moreover, since it does not weld, when removing an inner can after collect | recovering after distribution | circulation, removal work is easy.
In addition, according to the method for manufacturing a double-structure drum can according to the present invention, the fastening operation of the fastening band and the fixing operation such as welding are not required, so that the manufacturing time is shortened, and the component cost and the human cost are reduced. be able to.

  Hereinafter, the double structure drum according to the present invention will be described with reference to examples.

(First Example) -Structure of Double Structure Drum Can-
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of a body portion of a double structure drum according to the present invention. An inner can 1 made of tinplate is housed in an outer can 2. The outer can 2 is provided with a top curl portion 2a, and the top portion 1a of the inner can is fixed by being wound around the curl surface of the top curl portion 2a.

  2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an engaging portion (A portion indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1) between the inner can 1 and the outer can 2 in FIG. The outer can 2 has a top curl portion as shown in FIG. 2, and the inner can 1 is wound around the top curl surface. As a result, the inner can 1 and the outer can 2 are closely adhered and bonded to each other on the wound curl surface. The amount of winding of the top portion 1a of the inner can must be greater than the horizontal plane XX when viewed from the curl center O of the top curling portion 2a of the outer can. As shown in FIG. 2, when the cross section of the engaging portion is divided into the regions I to IV, in the present invention, the region I (the angle α formed with the horizontal plane passing through the curl center O is not less than 90 degrees and not more than 180 degrees) is curled. ing. For this purpose, a process for bending the top of the inner can to the region I after inserting the inner can into the outer can by the manufacturing method described later is indispensable. However, if α is curled to a value greater than 135 degrees, it becomes difficult to remove the inner can as the value is larger than this, and ideally, approximately 90 degrees to 135 degrees is preferable.

  According to such a structure, the inner can and the outer can are securely fixed without using a fastening band at the engaging portion between the inner can and the outer can and without using welding or other fixing means at the engaging portion. can do.

  FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C show an overall view of a so-called open type drum can (hereinafter referred to as “open drum” in the present specification) designed so that the canopy can be removed. The open drum is excellent as a container for a high-viscosity liquid such as paint, a powder, or a solid.

  FIG. 3A shows the fastening drum 4 of the open drum, and FIG. 3B shows the canopy 3 of the open drum. The fastening ring 4 is a metal fitting for attaching the canopy 3 to the body 2, and a fastening part is provided with a fastening bolt 4 a.

  FIG. 3C shows a state in which the canopy 3 and the fastening ring 4 are attached to the above-described double-structured body 2. Thus, the double-structure drum can according to the present invention does not apply a fastening band to the coupling portion of the top curl portion, and is fixed by tightening by directly winding the top portion of the inner can into the top curl portion of the outer can. It is lighter than conventional double structure drums and can be manufactured at a lower cost. Moreover, since welding does not adhere, the removal work is easy even when the inner can is removed after collection after distribution.

(Modification of the first embodiment)
The canopy 3 is not limited to the open type, but may be a closed type. Further, a lever-type fastening bracket may be used in place of the fastening bolt 4a of the fastening ring 4. A general known technique can be applied to these portions.

(Second Example) -Production Method of Double Structure Drum Can-
Next, a method for manufacturing a double structure drum according to the present invention will be described with reference to the process diagrams shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 show the inner can manufacturing step S1. FIG. 8 shows a step S2 for inserting the inner can into the outer can, and FIG. 7 shows a step S3 for winding the top portion of the inner can around the top curl portion of the outer can.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the coiled tin plate (coil material) 10 is cut into a predetermined dimension. Arrows C1 and C2 in FIG. 4A indicate the direction of the cutting blade (not shown). First, one can body 12 having a predetermined size is obtained by sequentially performing in the width direction (C1) and the length method (C2). In addition, although the figure which cut | disconnected the width direction first and cut | disconnected in the length direction was shown first, the order of cutting | disconnection may be replaced and it can change suitably.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the can body material 12 is put on a roll former machine 23 one by one and bent into a cylindrical shape. Next, as shown in FIG.4 (c), both ends of the can body material 12 are piled up several millimeters, the copper wire-24 (24a, 24b) is applied up and down, and the welding current I is applied to the electrode 25 (25a, 25b). Electrical resistance welding is performed by applying current to The can body 12 has a sandwich structure in which tin 12a sandwiches iron 12b. The can body welding process is continuously performed on the entire connecting portion of the can body material using a wire seam welding machine 26 as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5B shows end processing (necking process and flanging process) at the bottom of the can body material and end processing (nasal killing process) at the top. In the necking process and the flanging process, the end of the bottom of the can body material is rotated from the inside of the can body material to the inner roller 20a while rotating the entire body of the can body as shown by the arrow in a necker flanger machine (not shown). Is a step of pressing the outer roller 20b from the outside to locally reduce the diameter of the can body and flange out the bottom end. B1 in the figure indicates a necking portion, and B2 indicates a flanging portion.

In each of the above steps, general known techniques can be used as appropriate, and modifications and changes can be made as appropriate.
In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the process of wrapping and fixing the top part of the inner can into the top curl part of the outer can, which will be described later, the top part is also subjected to end processing (nasal killing process) in advance. The top portion of the can body material in FIG. 5B shows a state in which the end diameter is expanded by the inner roller 21a and the outer roller 21b. This edge processing step is called a “nasal killing step”.

FIG. 5C shows a state in which the bottom lid 13 is attached to the can body material 12. The bottom lid 13 is punched one by one with a large press or the like and cut into a disk shape, and the outer peripheral portion is subjected to a curling process with a curling roller or the like, and processed into a shape as shown in FIG. Since a general well-known technique can be applied also to the formation process of the bottom cover 13, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.
A sealing compound (for example, a water-soluble rubber) is thinly applied to the inner peripheral portion of the bottom lid 13, and is fitted into the bottom of the can body 12, and the inner roller 27 and the winding roller 28 are pressed and tightened. As the winding roller 28, two types of rollers having different shapes are applied, and the winding portion is folded back twice to improve the sealing of the inner can as shown in FIG. 5 (d). It is preferable to use a tightening shape.

  The manufacturing process of the inner can 1 is completed by the above-described process, that is, the step (S1) of forming a cylindrical inner can having a bottom plate attached to a cylindrical can body and a top portion being open. However, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the top curl roller 29 is pressed against the top of the inner can by rotating the top curl roller 29 as shown in FIG. 6 (b). It is preferable to further perform the edge treatment so as to obtain a semi-curl shape because the subsequent process becomes easier. In addition, the edge part process here should just be a process which spreads the top part of an inner can to the outer side beforehand other than the half curl shape like FIG.6 (b). For example, the flange may be bent at 90 degrees.

Next, step S2 for inserting the inner can 1 into the outer can 2 will be described. In addition, the outer can 2 uses a standard product of JIS G3141 (cold rolled steel plate and steel strip), and a size and a shape of a predetermined standard are used. The outer can may be new or used.

  FIGS. 8A to 8C show a step (S2) of inserting the inner can 1 into the outer can 2. FIG. Since the top curl portion of the inner can 1 is only in contact with the top curl portion of the outer can when the insertion is completed, the inner can 1 is not firmly fixed.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the assembly roller 30 is pressed from the side while rotating the inner can 1 as shown in the figure using a curling machine. Next, the top of the inner can is wound around the curled surface of the top curl of the outer can. By this process, the top part of the inner can is completely integrated with the top curl part of the outer can, and the double structure drum can according to the present invention is completed.

  However, the above-described series of winding methods can be variously changed such as how to press the rollers and the order of pressing, and all design changes that can be made by those skilled in the art can be applied to the present invention. For example, as a method other than using a roller, a method of pressing a mold with a cylinder and tightening it may be considered.

  The double structure drum can according to the present invention can be used for a drum can which can be recycled. The manufacturing method of the double structure drum according to the present invention has a simpler process than the conventional method, and can greatly reduce the manufacturing cost and the like.
