【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、一面にコロナ放電処理の施された樹脂製シートを用いた包装用袋の製造方法に関し、より詳しくは、コロナ放電処理された面同士の熱融着による接合強度が向上した包装用袋の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
一般に、紙オムツ、生理用ナプキン等の圧縮可能な物品は、複数個を圧縮状態で包装用袋に充填して搬送・販売等されている。この包装用袋は、例えば図6(a)に示すように、ポリオレフィンからなる樹脂製の長尺シートの所定箇所をガセット折りして折り畳み体10”を形成し、この折り畳み体10”を、ガセット折りの折り方向と直交する方向に亘って袋幅間隔で熱融着させ、熱融着された部分19を切断することで得られる。次いで、図6(b)に示すように、包装用袋1’の開口部18’から被包装物20を充填し、開口部18’を閉じることで、図6(c)に示すようにガセット部が一平面となることで形成される天面部U、正面部F、背面部R、第1側面部S、第2側面部S’及び底面部Bからなる六面体形状の包装形態となる。一般にポリエチレンやポリプロピレン等のポリオレフィンは、インク受容性が良好でないことから、上記シートには、袋を形成したときに外方を向く面に、印刷適性を高める目的でコロナ放電処理が施されている。
【0003】
上記の製造方法において、ガセット折りされた部分では、コロナ放電処理された面同士が熱融着されることになる。しかし、コロナ放電処理された面は変性されていることから該面同士の熱融着は容易でなく、また熱融着できたとしても経時的に接合力が低下してシート同士が剥離し易くなる不都合が生じることが知られている。斯かる不都合を回避するための手段として、特開平9−142483号公報記載のように包装用袋の側面部に、天面部の隅部を結ぶ辺を底辺とし、まち部と前後壁とのシール部下端を頂角とした三角形状部を想定した場合に、該三角形状部の外側にシール部を設けることが提案されている。しかし、上記方法は、充分な強度や側面部のひきつりによる外観の問題等があった。
【0004】
従って、本発明は、包装形態となしたときの外観が良好になり、且つコロナ放電処理された面同士の熱融着による接合強度を高め得る包装用袋の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、一面にコロナ放電処理の施された樹脂製シートを、該面が外方を向くようにガセット折りして、前後壁及び該前後壁の各端縁にそれぞれ連設されたガセット部を備えた折り畳み体を形成し、該折り畳み体を、ガセット折りの折り方向と直交する方向に亘って所定幅で接合し、上記前後壁が上記ガセット部を介して接合された上部接合部を形成すると共に上記前後壁同士が直接接合され且つ上部接合部に連設された下部接合部を形成して包装用袋を製造する方法において、
上記上部接合部の形成に際して、加熱されている一又は二以上の穿孔ピンによって、上記前後壁を上記ガセット部と共に穿孔した後、該前後壁を該ガセット部を介して熱融着して被穿孔部を閉塞する包装用袋の製造方法を提供することにより上記目的を達成したものである。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の包装用袋の製造方法をその好ましい実施形態に基づき図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1には本実施形態の包装用袋の製造過程を表す模式図が示されており、公知の折り畳み装置(図示せず)によって、幅方向略中心線に沿って谷折りされ、ガセットが長手方向に亘って形成された長尺シート10が、図中矢印Aで示される方向に搬送されている。
【0007】
シート10はポリオレフィン製であり、その一面にインク受容性を高める目的でコロナ放電処理が予め施されている。そして、シート10はコロナ放電処理された面10aが外方を向くようにガセット折りされている。このガセット折りによって、前壁f、後壁r及び前後壁f,rの各端縁にそれぞれ連設されたガセット部gを備えた折り畳み体10’が形成される。シート10の厚みは、被包装物の種類等にもよるが、一般に20〜200μmである。
【0008】
図1に示すように、シート10の搬送方向Aに沿って穿孔ユニット11及び熱融着ユニット12が所定間隔をおいて配置されている。穿孔ユニット11は熱融着ユニット12に対して、シート10の搬送方向Aの上流側に配置されている。穿孔ユニット11と熱融着ユニット12との間隔は、得られる包装用袋の幅にほぼ対応している。
【0009】
折り畳み体10’は、穿孔ユニット11及び熱融着ユニット12によって、ガセット折りの折り方向(本実施例では、折り畳み体10’の搬送方向と同じ方向である)と直交する方向に亘って所定幅で接合される。この接合によって、前後壁f,rが上記ガセット部gを介して接合された上部接合部13と、前後壁f,r同士が直接接合され且つ上部接合部13に連設された下部接合部14とが形成される。詳細には、先ず穿孔ユニット11によって上部接合部13が予備的に形成され、次いで熱融着ユニット12によって上部接合部13が完全に形成されると共に下部接合部14も形成される。
【0010】
上部接合部13の形成について図2及び図3を参照しながら説明する。図2及び図3には、図1における穿孔ユニット11付近の断面であるI−I線断面図が模式的に示されている。穿孔ユニット11は、先端が尖状の複数の穿孔ピン15,15・・を有する穿孔部11aと、各穿孔ピン15と嵌合する多数の凹部16,16・・を有する嵌合部11bとからなり、折り畳み体10’を挟むように配置されている。穿孔部11a及び嵌合部11bはこれら二つで一対として用いられ、穿孔ユニット11には、これらが折り畳み10’の搬送方向Aに沿って二対並設されている。
【0011】
穿孔ピン15は、ガセット折りの折り方向と直交する方向に沿って一列又は多列に配列されており、加熱可能になされている。従って、穿孔ピン15と嵌合する凹部16も、穿孔ピン15と同様にガセット折りの折り方向と直交する方向に沿って一列又は多列に設けられている。また、穿孔ピン15は、その横断面が円形であり、先端は円錐状となっている。
【0012】
穿孔部11aは、図2中、矢印Bで示す方向、即ちシート10の厚さ方向に移動可能になされている。そして、穿孔部11aが降下することによって、図3に示すように穿孔ピン15が前壁f、ガセット部g及び後壁rを突き抜けて、対応する嵌合部16に嵌合し、前後壁f,rがガセット部gと共に穿孔される。
【0013】
穿孔後、折り畳み体10’が更に搬送されて、上記の穿孔された部分が、熱融着ユニット12に達すると、該熱融着ユニットによって完全に熱融着されて上部接合部13が形成される。これと共に、熱融着ユニット12によって前後壁f,r同士が直接熱融着されて下部接合部14が形成され、包装用袋が得られる。熱融着ユニット12は、図1に示すように折り畳み体10’を挟むように配置された上下一対の細長い角柱状のシールバー12a,12aからなる。第2接合部12には、一対のシールバー12a,12aが折り畳み体10’の搬送方向Aに沿って二対並設されている。シールバー12aは、ガセット折りの折り方向と直交する方向に亘って配置されている。シールバー12aは加熱可能になされており、加熱状態の一対のシールバー12aで折り畳み体10’を挟み込むことで、挟み込まれた部分の樹脂が溶融して熱融着が行われる。
【0014】
穿孔ユニット11及び熱融着ユニット12による上部接合部13の形成について更に説明すると、穿孔ユニット11による穿孔後の前後壁f,r及びガセット部gの状態、即ち図3中、円で囲った部分の拡大模式図が図4(a)に示されている。図4(a)は、穿孔ピン15を所定温度に加熱した状態で穿孔した後の状態を示すものである。尚、図4(a)において太線は融着されていない面を示し、細線は融着されている面を示す〔以下に説明する図4(b)についても同様である〕。
【0015】
図4(a)に示す状態では、先ず、穿孔によって前後壁f,r及びガセット部gの内部の樹脂が被穿孔部17の内面(以下、被穿孔面という)に露出する。そして、穿孔ピン15は上述の通り加熱されているので、被穿孔面に露出した樹脂は、穿孔ピン15による加熱で溶融して流動状態となり、該被穿孔面を或る程度の厚みで以て被覆する。従って、コロナ放電処理面同士が当接しており熱融着させにくいガセット部gの両半面の当接部が、被穿孔面に露出しなくなる。このようにして被穿孔面付近で熱融着が行われる。これと共にコロナ放電処理が施されていない面同士の当接面(この当接面は熱融着し易い)、即ち前壁fとガセット部gの一方の半面との当接面S1、及び後壁rとガセット部gの他方の半面との当接面S2が熱融着される。穿孔ユニット11を用いたこれら一連の熱融着によって上部接合部が予備的に形成される。
【0016】
図4(b)には、熱融着ユニット12によって完全に接合された上部接合部の状態が示されている。即ち、熱融着ユニット12に備えられた加熱状態の一対のシールバーによる挟み込みによって、穿孔ユニットを用いて形成された被穿孔部17を含む広範囲の部分の樹脂が溶融する。このとき、上記の被穿孔面付近の樹脂は完全に冷却されておらず或る程度の流動性を有しているので、溶融は容易に進む。その結果、被穿孔部17に樹脂が移動し、更には移動した樹脂によって被穿孔部17が閉塞される。これによって上部接合部における熱融着が十分に行われ、十分な接合強度が得られる。
【0017】
以上のようにして上部接合部及び下部接合部が形成された後、それらの幅方向中心線に沿って切断が行われ、更に必要に応じて吊手部が取り付けられて、図5に示す包装用袋が得られる。この状態の包装用袋1は、その下部が開口部18となっているので、該開口部を通じて被包装物を充填し、その後開口部18を閉じることによって、六面体状の包装形態〔図6(c)参照〕となる。
【0018】
穿孔ユニット11における穿孔ピン15の直径は1〜5mm、特に2〜4mmであることが、溶融した樹脂によって被穿孔部17が完全に閉塞されて接合強度が大きくなる点から好ましい。穿孔ピンの加熱温度は、折り畳み体10’の搬送速度や、シート10の厚み及び材質等にもよるが、ポリエチレン製のシートの場合、150〜250℃、特に170〜230℃であることが樹脂の溶融の程度と搬送中の張力に対抗する強度とのバランスの点から好ましい。また、熱融着ユニット12におけるシールバーの加熱温度は、やはり折り畳み体10’の搬送速度や、シート10の厚み及び材質等にもよるが、ポリエチレン製のシートの場合、200〜330℃、特に230〜300℃であることが樹脂の溶融の程度、並びに上部接合部及び下部接合部の最適接合強度の点から好ましい。
【0020】
本発明は上記の実施形態に制限されず、種々の変更が可能である。例えば、上記の実施形態においては穿孔ピンを複数用いたが、製造される袋の形態や用途によっては一本の穿孔ピンのみを用いてもよい。また、穿孔ピンの横断面の形状は上述した円形の他、三角形や四角形等の多角形でもよい。また、穿孔ピンとして切断刃を用いてもよい。切断刃を用いた場合には、穿孔に代えて切断線が形成されることになるが、接合状態は穿孔を形成した場合と同様である。また、上記実施形態においては、長尺のシートを用いて包装用袋を製造したが、これに代えて所定の大きさに裁断された毎葉のシートを用いてもよい。また、上記シートは熱融着性材料から構成されていれば、その種類に特に制限はない。
【0021】
〔実施例1〕
一面にコロナ放電処理の施された幅1000mmのポリエチレン製長尺シートを、その幅方向中心線に沿ってガセット折りし、長さ400mm、幅400mmの前後壁と、ガセット折りの深さが100mmのガセット部とを備えた折り畳み体を形成した。この折り畳み体を15m/minで搬送し、図1に示すように、穿孔ピンを備えた穿孔部及び嵌合部を有する穿孔ユニットによって、前後壁をガセット部と共に穿孔した。穿孔ピンは、その横断面が直径3mmの円形で、先端が円錐状であり、ガセット折りの折り方向と直交する方向に6mm間隔で規則的に配列されていた。また、穿孔ピンは200℃に加熱されていた。
【0022】
次いで、図1に示すように、上記折り畳み体の搬送方向に対して上記穿孔ユニットの下流に配置された熱融着ユニットによって、上記穿孔ピンを用いて穿孔された部分を含む前後壁及びガセット部を熱融着させて被穿孔部を閉塞させ上部接合部を形成すると共に前後壁同士を直接熱融着させて上部接合部に連設された下部接合部を形成した。熱融着ユニットは、横断面が一辺10mmの正方形である一対の細長い角棒からなるシールバーが、ガセット折りの折り方向と直交する方向に亘って配置されたものから構成されており、300℃に加熱されていた。形成された上部接合部及び下部接合部は、何れも接合幅が3mmであった。次いで、上部接合部及び下部接合部をそれらの幅方向中心線に沿って切断して図5に示す包装用袋を得た。
【0023】
〔比較例1〕
実施例1において穿孔ピンを加熱しない以外は実施例1と同様にして包装用袋を得た。
【0024】
〔比較例2〕
実施例1において穿孔ユニットによる穿孔を行わない以外は実施例1と同様にして包装用袋を得た。
【0025】
実施例及び比較例で得られた包装用袋における上部接合部の接合強度を以下のようにして測定した。その結果を表1に示す。
【0026】
<接合強度の測定方法>
包装用袋における上部接合部を15mmに亘って切り出し測定サンプルを得た。この測定サンプルを上部接合部の接合方向と直交する方向に180°引張試験を行い接合強度を測定した。測定にはオリエンテック(株)製のテンシロン万能試験機RTA-100 (商品名)を用い、チャック間距離30mm、引張速度300mm/minとした。尚、実施例1及び比較例1の包装用袋から得られた測定サンプルは、3個の被穿孔部をそれぞれ有していた。
次いで、各包装用袋に複数個の紙おむつを圧縮充填して、該紙おむつから生じた回復復元力を上部接合部にかけた状態にした。この状態下に、包装用袋を恒温室(温度40℃、湿度80%)に2週間保存した。その後、上記と同様に接合強度を測定した。
測定された接合強度の値は、初期状態においては、比較例1の値を基準とした相対値で表した。また2週間保存後においては、各初期状態の値を基準とした接合強度の相対値(%)で表した。

【発明の効果】
本発明の包装用袋の製造方法によれば、熱融着させにくいコロナ放電処理された面同士の熱融着による接合強度を高めることができ、袋に被包装物を圧縮状態で充填しても、接合部の剥離等が効果的に防止される。
また、補強用の接合部を別に設ける必要もないので、包装形態となしたときの外観が損なわれることもない。
本発明の包装用袋の製造方法は、内容物が圧縮充填され、包装用袋に内容物の回復復元力が加わる包装用袋のガセット部の接合において特に有効である。

[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the packaging bag of this invention is demonstrated, referring drawings based on the preferable embodiment.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the manufacturing process of the packaging bag of the present embodiment, which is valley-folded along a substantially center line in the width direction by a known folding device (not shown), and the gusset is long. The

In the state shown in FIG. 4A, first, the resin inside the front and rear walls f and r and the gusset portion g is exposed on the inner surface of the drilled portion 17 (hereinafter referred to as the drilled surface) by drilling. Since the
[0016]
FIG. 4B shows a state of the upper joint part that is completely joined by the heat fusion unit 12. That is, the resin in a wide range including the portion to be punched 17 formed using the punching unit is melted by the sandwiching between the pair of heated seal bars provided in the heat fusion unit 12. At this time, since the resin in the vicinity of the perforated surface is not completely cooled and has a certain degree of fluidity, melting easily proceeds. As a result, the resin moves to the drilled
[0017]
After the upper joint portion and the lower joint portion are formed as described above, cutting is performed along the center line in the width direction, and a hanger portion is attached if necessary, and the packaging shown in FIG. A bag is obtained. Since the lower part of the

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, although a plurality of perforation pins are used in the above embodiment, only one perforation pin may be used depending on the form and application of the bag to be manufactured. Further, the shape of the cross section of the perforation pin may be a polygon such as a triangle or a quadrangle other than the above-described circle. Moreover, you may use a cutting blade as a piercing pin. When a cutting blade is used, a cutting line is formed instead of drilling, but the joining state is the same as when the drilling is formed. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the packaging bag was manufactured using the elongate sheet | seat, it may replace with this and the sheet | seat of every leaf cut | judged by the predetermined magnitude | size may be used. Moreover, if the said sheet | seat is comprised from the heat-fusible material, there will be no restriction | limiting in particular in the kind.
[0021]
[Example 1]
A 1000 mm wide polyethylene sheet with a corona discharge treatment on one side is gusseted along its widthwise center line, 400 mm long, 400 mm wide front and back walls, and the gusset folding depth is 100 mm. A folded body having a gusset portion was formed. The folded body was conveyed at 15 m / min, and as shown in FIG. 1, the front and rear walls were pierced together with the gusset portion by a piercing unit having a piercing portion provided with a piercing pin and a fitting portion. The perforation pins had a circular shape with a cross section of 3 mm in diameter and a conical tip, and were regularly arranged at intervals of 6 mm in a direction perpendicular to the folding direction of the gusset fold. Moreover, the perforation pin was heated to 200 ° C.
[0022]
Next, as shown in FIG. 1, the front and rear walls and the gusset portion including a portion drilled by using the punch pin by the heat fusion unit disposed downstream of the punch unit with respect to the conveying direction of the folded body. Was heat-sealed to close the perforated portion to form an upper joint portion, and the front and rear walls were directly heat-sealed to form a lower joint portion connected to the upper joint portion. The heat fusion unit is composed of a seal bar made up of a pair of elongated square bars each having a square with a cross section of 10 mm on one side and arranged in a direction perpendicular to the folding direction of the gusset fold, and is 300 ° C. Had been heated to. The formed upper joint and lower joint both had a joint width of 3 mm. Next, the upper joint portion and the lower joint portion were cut along the center line in the width direction to obtain the packaging bag shown in FIG.
[0023]
[ Comparative Example 1 ]
A packaging bag was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the perforated pins were not heated in Example 1.
[0024]
[Comparative Example 2 ]
A packaging bag was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that punching by the punching unit was not performed in Example 1.
[0025]
The joint strength of the upper joint part in the packaging bag obtained in the examples and comparative examples was measured as follows. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0026]
<Measuring method of bonding strength>
The upper joint part in the packaging bag was cut out over 15 mm to obtain a measurement sample. This measurement sample was subjected to a 180 ° tensile test in a direction orthogonal to the bonding direction of the upper bonding portion to measure the bonding strength. A Tensilon universal testing machine RTA-100 (trade name) manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd. was used for the measurement, and the distance between chucks was 30 mm and the tensile speed was 300 mm / min. Note that the measurement samples obtained from the packaging bags of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 each had three perforated parts.
Next, each packaging bag was compressed and filled with a plurality of paper diapers, and the recovery / restoring force generated from the paper diapers was applied to the upper joint. Under this condition, the packaging bag was stored in a thermostatic chamber (temperature 40 ° C., humidity 80%) for 2 weeks. Thereafter, the bonding strength was measured in the same manner as described above.
The measured bonding strength value was expressed as a relative value based on the value of Comparative Example 1 in the initial state. In addition, after storage for 2 weeks, it was expressed as a relative value (%) of the bonding strength based on the value of each initial state.
[0027]
[Table 1]
[0028]
As is apparent from the results shown in Table 1, the packaging bag of Example 1 obtained by performing the heat fusion after the perforation to form the upper joint portion does not perform the heat fusion without the perforation. When compared with the packaging bag of Comparative Example 2 obtained by forming the upper bonded portion, the decrease in bonding strength of the upper bonded portion was small, and no peeling of the upper bonded portion was observed . Deterioration in bonding strength of the upper joint portions in the packaging bag of Example 1 obtained by performing the drilling with heating pressure is seen to be very small. In the packaging bag of Comparative Example 2 , the joint strength at the upper joint was significantly reduced, and peeling of the upper joint was observed.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
According to the method for manufacturing a packaging bag of the present invention, it is possible to increase the bonding strength by heat-sealing the corona discharge treated surfaces that are difficult to be heat-sealed. Also, peeling of the joint portion and the like are effectively prevented.
Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide the junction part for reinforcement separately, the external appearance when it becomes a packaging form is not impaired.
The method for manufacturing a packaging bag of the present invention is particularly effective in joining the gusset portions of a packaging bag in which the contents are compressed and filled, and the recovery and restoration force of the contents is applied to the packaging bag.
