Description

用于容器的盖子结构Lid construction for containers

发明背景Background of the invention

发明领域field of invention

本发明涉及容器,其用于包装和分配产品,特别是粉末化产品例如婴儿营养品或者配方奶粉。本发明尤其涉及一种盖子结构,其用于这样的具有可重新密封盖子的容器。The present invention relates to containers for packaging and dispensing products, in particular powdered products such as infant nutrition or milk formula. In particular the invention relates to a lid construction for such containers with resealable lids.

相关现有技术说明Description of related prior art

粉末化材料例如婴儿配方奶粉多年来是以不同形式的包装销售的。金属罐最初是优选的容器,因为它们的生产相对容易和廉价,并且能够密封来长期储存。所述密封包含覆盖容器嘴的铝箔,其在首次使用时除去。因为单个容器将长期使用,因此该容器具有可重新密封的塑料盖子,其夹持在金属罐的外轮缘上。容器经常包括测量勺,其是独立包装的或者处于该罐本身中。但是这样的罐是相对重的,并且其生产是昂贵的。Powdered materials such as infant formula have been sold in different forms of packaging for many years. Metal cans were initially the preferred container because they were relatively easy and inexpensive to produce and could be sealed for long-term storage. The seal consists of an aluminum foil covering the mouth of the container which is removed upon first use. Because a single container is intended for long-term use, the container has a resealable plastic lid that clips onto the outer rim of the metal can. The container often includes a measuring scoop, either individually wrapped or in the jar itself. But such tanks are relatively heavy, and their production is expensive.

最近,可选择的包装形式已经变成可利用的,其改进了现有的罐。它们包括层压容器体和塑料铰连的盖子和轮缘结构,其可以胶合到容器体上。一种这样的包装描述在US2008041861中,其具有密封件,用于初始时封闭所述包装和处于该密封件和容器上边缘之间的空间,用于在使用前部分的接收勺子。该容器零件可以由硬纸板,金属箔和塑料材料的层压体组成。另一类似包装显示在WO2010071424中。More recently, alternative packaging formats have become available that retrofit existing cans. They consist of a laminated container body and a plastic hinged lid and rim structure which can be glued to the container body. One such package is described in US2008041861 with a seal for initially closing the package and a space between the seal and the upper edge of the container for receiving a scoop in the portion before use. The container part may consist of a laminate of cardboard, metal foil and plastic material. Another similar package is shown in WO2010071424.

在这样的包装初始打开后,其密封是盖子结构设计中的一个主要问题。打算用于婴儿配方或者其他食物的包装应当充分密封,来防止小东西或者类似动物进入。最大开口70微米已经被认为是令人期望的。在其他情形中,仍然会需要更好的密封件来防止湿气进入。用于勺子容易进入的大开口与成本有效构造的矛盾要求是难以协调。具体的,对于一次性包装,可以经济的用于盖子结构的材料的体积限制了它的强度。相对容易变形的盖子也更难以靠着同样变形的轮缘来有效密封。现有的结构例如US2008041861所示的结构使用了盖子和轮缘结构,有时候称作顶容器,其连接到容器体的自由直立的边缘上。这种连接在容器密封中也是关键的。另一设计显示在WO2008083141中,其使用了另外的整体垫圈来帮助密封。After the initial opening of such a package, its sealing is a major concern in the structural design of the lid. Packaging intended for infant formula or other food shall be sufficiently airtight to prevent the entry of small objects or similar animals. A maximum opening of 70 microns has been considered desirable. In other cases, better seals may still be required to prevent moisture ingress. The conflicting requirements of a large opening for easy access of the spoon and a cost effective construction are difficult to reconcile. Specifically, for single-use packages, the volume of material that can be used economically for the construction of the lid limits its strength. A relatively deformable lid is also more difficult to effectively seal against a similarly deformed rim. Existing structures such as that shown in US2008041861 use a lid and rim structure, sometimes called a top container, attached to the free standing rim of the container body. This connection is also critical in container sealing. Another design is shown in WO2008083141 which uses an additional integral gasket to aid in sealing.

用于保持油漆或者其他液体的容器描述在US5975346A中。该容器包括具有底壁和侧壁的容器体,该侧壁从底壁沿着该底壁的周边延伸,其终止于上轮缘中。该容器还包括盖子和固定到上轮缘上的环形扣环,该盖子枢转和可分离的安装到环形扣环上,来在打开位置和闭合位置之间移动。A container for holding paint or other liquids is described in US5975346A. The container includes a container body having a bottom wall and a side wall extending from the bottom wall along a perimeter of the bottom wall, terminating in an upper rim. The container also includes a lid and an annular buckle secured to the upper rim, the lid being pivotally and detachably mounted to the annular buckle for movement between an open position and a closed position.

由于这些设计要求和局限,令人期望的是改进现有的设计。Because of these design requirements and limitations, it is desirable to improve upon existing designs.

发明内容Contents of the invention

根据本发明,提供的是一种用于容器的盖子结构,该容器具有延伸到上边缘的外围壁,并且限定了产品容纳空间,该盖子结构包含:用于连接到该桶的上边缘的下框架,该下框架限定了入孔,入孔产生了到该产品容纳空间的入口;上框架,其可以以卡扣连接连接到该下框架上,以形成圆周第一密封件;和盖子,其被设置来关闭所述开口,该盖子和上框架形成圆周第二密封件。以此方式,可以实现一种改进的密封连接,并且所述上框架可以单独由下框架来制造,并且在随后的生产方法阶段连接到其上。According to the present invention, there is provided a lid structure for a container having a peripheral wall extending to an upper edge and defining a product containing space, the lid structure comprising: a lower a frame, the lower frame defines a manhole that creates access to the product containing space; an upper frame, which can be connected to the lower frame with a snap connection to form a circumferential first seal; and a cover, which Arranged to close said opening, the cover and upper frame form a circumferential secondary seal. In this way, an improved tight connection can be achieved, and the upper frame can be produced separately from the lower frame and connected to it in a subsequent production method stage.

在本发明的一种优选的实施方案中,该卡扣连接是径向向内布置的第一密封件。这有效表明所述卡扣连接是处于相对密封位置的容器的内部。在卡扣连接通过下轮缘的情况中,它的密封向内布置不损害整体密封。这种布置能够在例如注塑过程中应用更方便的制造方法。In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the snap connection is a radially inwardly arranged first seal. This effectively indicates that the snap connection is inside the container in a relatively sealed position. In the case of a snap connection through the lower rim, its sealing is arranged inwards without compromising the overall sealing. This arrangement enables the application of more convenient manufacturing methods, eg in injection molding processes.

优选该卡扣连接是永久连接,其在不损坏容器时不会脱开。可选择的,该卡扣连接可以是可脱开的,以便能够除去上框架和盖子和例如再次用于另一包装上。根据另一优选的实施方案,该卡扣连接包含在上框架上的多个向下延伸的倒钩,倒钩通过下框架中的定位开口来结合。Preferably the snap connection is a permanent connection which cannot be disengaged without damaging the container. Alternatively, the snap connection may be releasable so that the upper frame and lid can be removed and reused eg on another package. According to another preferred embodiment, the snap connection comprises a plurality of downwardly extending barbs on the upper frame, the barbs engaging through locating openings in the lower frame.

本发明的第一密封件和第二密封件优选是防虫密封件。在下面,防虫密封件将定义为这样的密封件,其在该密封件的任何点处避免了70微米或更大的任何开口。热带气候的食品包装领域的经验已经确定了这个值通常足以避免小虫的进入,该小虫会危害食品卫生。通过提供第一密封件和第二密封件来防虫,可以避免这样的昆虫进入容器内部,甚至在该容器首次打开后和当粉末粒子存在于盖子和框架周围时也是如此。该第一密封件和第二密封件还可以防水的,优选防至少3cm的水。The first and second seals of the present invention are preferably insect seals. In the following, an insect seal will be defined as a seal which avoids any opening of 70 microns or larger at any point of the seal. Experience in the field of food packaging in tropical climates has established that this value is generally sufficient to avoid the ingress of small insects, which could endanger food hygiene. By providing the first and second seals against insects, such insects can be prevented from entering the interior of the container even after the container is first opened and when powder particles are present around the lid and frame. The first and second seals may also be waterproof, preferably at least 3 cm of water.

优选该第一密封件包含在下框架上的直立的第一轮缘,其结合在上框架的向下延伸的第一凹槽内,优选处于干涉配合中。该第一轮缘和第一凹槽优选在第一密封件的整个圆周周围持续不断。这种类型的密封件已经明显优于单侧密封件。所述轮缘和凹槽可以容易形成来具有干涉配合,并且能够容易的实现上述防虫性。对于通过注塑技术产生的结构,它们的精确度取决于要形成的结构的尺寸。对于尺寸小于2mm的凹槽,可以接受3%的制造公差,而不危及该密封件。在单侧密封件的情况中,所述结构的临界尺寸将是开口的整体直径,对于10cm直径的开口,同样的公差将产生3mm的尺寸变化,这使得干涉配合难以保证。Preferably the first seal comprises an upstanding first rim on the lower frame which engages, preferably in an interference fit, in a first downwardly extending groove of the upper frame. The first rim and first groove preferably continue around the entire circumference of the first seal. This type of seal is already significantly superior to single-sided seals. The rim and the groove can be easily formed to have an interference fit, and the above-mentioned insect resistance can be easily achieved. For structures produced by injection molding techniques, their precision depends on the dimensions of the structure to be formed. For grooves with dimensions less than 2mm, a manufacturing tolerance of 3% may be accepted without jeopardizing the seal. In the case of a single sided seal the critical dimension of the structure would be the overall diameter of the opening and for a 10cm diameter opening the same tolerance would yield a dimensional variation of 3mm making an interference fit difficult to assure.

优选该第二密封件还包含在上框架上的直立的第二轮缘,其结合在盖子的向下延伸第二凹槽中,优选处于干涉配合。该第二轮缘和第二凹槽优选在第二密封件的整个圆周上持续不断。这种布置还受益于上述制造的优点和因此能够容易的实现所需的防虫性。如可理解的,轮缘和凹槽的方向可以反转,而不影响密封功能。但是,要注意的是对于这种方式的使用来说,向下延伸的凹槽不太可能收集碎屑。Preferably the second seal further comprises an upstanding second rim on the upper frame which engages, preferably in an interference fit, in a downwardly extending second groove of the lid. The second rim and the second groove preferably continue over the entire circumference of the second seal. This arrangement also benefits from the manufacturing advantages described above and thus enables the desired insect resistance to be easily achieved. As can be appreciated, the orientation of the rim and groove can be reversed without affecting the sealing function. Note, however, that for use in this manner, the downwardly extending grooves are less likely to collect debris.

最优选该第一和/或第二凹槽具有导入结构,其在各自的凹槽的两侧上径向延伸这样的距离,该距离至少等于各自的第一轮缘和第二轮缘的宽度。如上所述,必须考虑注塑品的制造公差,并且虽然干涉尺寸的变化会是微小的,但是凹槽相对于轮缘的位置变化会是明显更大的。该导入结构被设置来确保容易实现轮缘进入凹槽,而不损坏其任一个。Most preferably the first and/or second grooves have lead-in formations extending radially on both sides of the respective groove for a distance at least equal to the width of the respective first and second rims . As mentioned above, the manufacturing tolerances of the injection molded part must be taken into account, and while the variation in interference dimensions will be slight, the variation in the position of the groove relative to the rim will be significantly greater. The lead-in structure is arranged to ensure easy access of the rim to the grooves without damaging any of them.

该盖子目的是在使用过程中频繁打开和关闭,并且由于这个原因,该第二密封件必须足够结实来经受住这样的使用,而不损坏、磨损或者失去它的防虫性。在一种有利的实施方案中,第二凹槽上的导入结构包含导入法兰。它们可以作为第二凹槽的垂直扶壁来布置,其增强了第二凹槽抗侧向变形。可理解第二凹槽的限定位置在盖子闭合过程中是重要的,以确保第二轮缘的正确进入。这些结构的未对准会引起第二轮缘或者第二凹槽的损坏,这使得随后的闭合更困难和阻止了防虫密封件。为了实现它们的支撑功能,所述导入法兰可以存在于第二凹槽的圆周周围,优选在其两侧上。它们可以以小于20mm,优选小于15mm的间隔存在,并且在角落区域中,可以甚至是更紧密的间隔。通过提供对第二凹槽的支撑,该第二凹槽的壁可以制成更挠性的,由此更好的容纳所述第二轮缘。为了实现它们的导入功能,导入法兰可以向下延伸超过第二凹槽的最低程度,并且朝着这种凹槽平滑地成角度或者曲线化。The lid is intended to be opened and closed frequently during use, and for this reason the secondary seal must be strong enough to withstand such use without damage, wear or loss of its insect repellency. In an advantageous embodiment, the introduction structure on the second groove comprises an introduction flange. They can be arranged as vertical buttresses of the second groove, which strengthen the second groove against lateral deformation. It will be appreciated that the defined position of the second groove is important during closure of the lid to ensure proper entry of the second rim. Misalignment of these structures can cause damage to the second rim or second groove, which makes subsequent closure more difficult and prevents the insect seal. In order to fulfill their supporting function, the introduction flanges may be present around the circumference of the second groove, preferably on both sides thereof. They may be present at a spacing of less than 20 mm, preferably less than 15 mm, and in corner regions, may be even more closely spaced. By providing support for the second groove, the walls of the second groove can be made more flexible, thereby better accommodating the second rim. To fulfill their lead-in function, the lead-in flanges may extend downwards beyond the lowest extent of the second groove and be smoothly angled or curved towards such a groove.

上框架和该下框架之间的第一密封件通常用于一次性组装,和其后不需要重新密封。不过,这些部件的结合可以以自动程序来进行,随后制造各自的部件和对其进行应力松弛。为此原因,该第一凹槽也可以至少在它的外圆周处具有类似的导入法兰。这会有助于上框架和下框架在组装过程中的自对中。The first seal between the upper frame and the lower frame is normally used for one-time assembly, and does not require resealing thereafter. However, the joining of these components can be performed in an automated procedure, followed by fabrication and stress relaxation of the respective components. For this reason, the first groove can also have a similar introduction flange at least on its outer circumference. This will help self-centering of the upper and lower frames during assembly.

根据本发明的一种实施方案,该上框架可以具有外圆周裙部和该盖子可以具有外表面,并且该外表面和裙部在盖子处于闭合位置时是共面的。在这个意义上,共面并非局限于平坦平面,并且还可以包括曲化平面。作为这种形状的结果,该盖子和上框架可以形成光滑的过渡,而不中断。According to one embodiment of the invention, the upper frame may have an outer circumferential skirt and the lid may have an outer surface, and the outer surface and skirt are coplanar when the lid is in the closed position. In this sense, coplanarity is not limited to flat planes, and may also include curved planes. As a result of this shape, the cover and upper frame can form a smooth transition without interruption.

根据本发明另一方面,该上框架具有外圆周裙部和该下框架具有外围表面,该外围表面和裙部在上框架和下框架连接到一起时是共面的。如上,这产生了上框架和下框架之间的光滑过渡。According to another aspect of the invention, the upper frame has an outer circumferential skirt and the lower frame has a peripheral surface, the peripheral surface and the skirt being coplanar when the upper and lower frames are joined together. As above, this produces a smooth transition between the upper and lower frames.

所述盖子可以作为与上轮缘分别的物品来制造,并且可以从其中除去。但是优选该盖子枢转连接到上框架上。在一种实施方案中,该盖子可以设置来绕着铰链枢转,该铰链位于上框架的外圆周的径向向内位置。以前的设计已经使用了铰链结构,其使得盖子相对于轮缘在从轮缘的外圆周径向向外的位置枢转连接。这样的凸出的铰链结构会干涉堆叠,并且在最终的产品中会是难看的。The cover can be manufactured as a separate item from the upper rim and can be removed therefrom. Preferably, however, the cover is pivotally connected to the upper frame. In one embodiment, the lid may be arranged to pivot about a hinge located radially inward of the outer circumference of the upper frame. Previous designs have used hinge structures that pivotally connect the cover relative to the rim at a location radially outward from the outer circumference of the rim. Such protruding hinge structures can interfere with stacking and can be unsightly in the final product.

作为盖子枢转闭合的结果,如果发生容易的闭合,而不损坏第二密封件,则将第二轮缘正确结合入第二凹槽是重要的。导入结构在实现这样的闭合中是重要的。为了进一步改进所述闭合动作,该盖子的向下延伸的第二凹槽可以具有圆周内壁和圆周外壁,其中该圆周外壁向下延伸的距离大于与铰链相邻区域中的圆周内壁。该内壁因此在它的整个圆周周围的高度不是均匀的,并且会从容器的任一端逐渐向下朝着容器的后侧中间逐渐弯曲。该第二轮缘也可以在这个区域中没有导入法兰,其可以全部沿着盖子的铰链侧延伸。不存在导入法兰时,所述内壁和外壁更能够在第二轮缘进入第二凹槽时弯曲。通过闭合该盖子,这是第二轮缘的部分,其首先与第二凹槽结合,并且它是以相对大的角度来这样结合的。在一种实施方案中,当盖子处于到上框架大约20°的角度时,该圆周第二密封件开始结合。在盖子闭合时,第二轮缘结合到第二凹槽中是连续逐渐进行的。第二密封件的这种逐渐结合和内壁与第二轮缘之间的摩擦结合为用户提供了密封动作的触觉反馈,其明显不同于卡扣类型密封(其仅仅在卡扣结合的终点时提供反馈)。Correct engagement of the second rim into the second groove is important if an easy closure occurs as a result of the pivoting closure of the lid without damaging the second seal. Import structures are important in achieving such closures. To further improve said closing action, the second downwardly extending recess of the lid may have a circumferential inner wall and a circumferential outer wall, wherein the circumferential outer wall extends downwardly a greater distance than the circumferential inner wall in the area adjacent the hinge. The inner wall is therefore not uniform in height around its entire circumference, and will gradually curve downward from either end of the container towards the middle of the rear side of the container. The second flange can also have no introduction flange in this region, which can extend all along the hinge side of the lid. In the absence of a lead-in flange, the inner and outer walls are more capable of flexing when the second rim enters the second groove. By closing the cover, it is the part of the second rim which first engages the second groove, and it does so at a relatively large angle. In one embodiment, the circumferential second seal begins to bond when the lid is at an angle of approximately 20° to the upper frame. The incorporation of the second rim into the second groove is continuous and gradual as the lid is closed. This gradual engagement of the second seal and the frictional engagement between the inner wall and the second rim provides the user with tactile feedback of the sealing action, which is distinctly different from snap-type seals (which provide only at the end of the snap-in engagement). feedback).

根据本发明的另一有利的实施方案,所述上框架可以由硬度不同于下框架或者盖子的材料形成。在一种实施方案中,上框架是由第一塑料材料形成的,其相对软于用于形成其他两种部件的第二塑料材料。用于下框架和盖子的相对较硬的材料可以确保盖子结构的更大的整体硬度。可选择的,该上框架可以是稍微更硬的。可选择的,全部三种部件可以是不同硬度的。硬度的变化可以是微小的,并且可以是刚刚足以确保各自的密封件之间良好的干涉密封。用于该盖子和上、下框架的优选的材料是聚丙烯(PP),聚乙烯(PE)和聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)或者其组合,虽然本领域技术人员熟知不同的选项,其可以提供类似的工程性能。According to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, the upper frame can be formed from a material having a different hardness than the lower frame or the cover. In one embodiment, the upper frame is formed from a first plastic material that is relatively softer than a second plastic material used to form the other two components. Relatively stiffer materials for the lower frame and lid can ensure greater overall stiffness of the lid structure. Optionally, the upper frame can be slightly stiffer. Alternatively, all three components may be of different durometers. The variation in hardness may be slight and may be just enough to ensure a good interference seal between the respective seals. Preferred materials for the lid and upper and lower frames are polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or combinations thereof, although those skilled in the art are familiar with different option, which can provide similar engineered performance.

该盖子和上或者下框架可以具有适当的捕捉和闭合元件。它们也可以具有捣棒明显闭合指示。该下框架或者上框架还可以具有勺子架子和调平部分。它们可以向内延伸到入孔中。将理解勺子架子也可以设置在盖子中。The lid and upper or lower frame may have suitable catch and closure elements. They can also have a clear closed indication of the tamper. The lower or upper frame may also have a spoon rest and a leveling section. They can extend inwardly into the access hole. It will be understood that the spoon holder may also be provided in the lid.

本发明进一步涉及一种包装,其包含上述的用于容器的盖子结构,该容器具有延伸到上边缘的外围壁和限定了产品容纳空间,该下框架连接到容器的上边缘。该包装可以具有通常正方形或者矩形的外轮廓,具有圆角。该包装的体积可以是0.5L-3L,优选大约1.5L,并且该入孔优选的最小尺寸是至少70mm,更优选大约100mm和面积是至少100cm2The invention further relates to a package comprising a lid structure as described above for a container having a peripheral wall extending to an upper edge and defining a product containing space, the lower frame being connected to the upper edge of the container. The package may have a generally square or rectangular outer profile, with rounded corners. The volume of the package may be 0.5L-3L, preferably about 1.5L, and the access hole preferably has a minimum dimension of at least 70mm, more preferably about 100mm and an area of at least 100cm2 .

优选该包装包含隔膜密封件,用于在使用前密封产品容纳空间。该隔膜密封件可以包含金属或者塑料-金属箔或者可以仅仅是塑料箔。该隔膜密封件是气密性密封件。在本文上下文中,可理解气密性密封件是这样的密封件,其基本上防止了气体在长期存储过程中进入或者进出所述容器。优选它是隔氧密封件,其防止了氧气扩散入密封件的容器中。该密封件的氧气渗透性优选可以小于2.0cm3/m2/天和更优选可以小于0.5cm3/m2/天。该隔膜密封件可以在使用前以其整体除去或者可以包含限定出开口区域的弱化的撕裂线,和拉片。该隔膜密封件可以提供在不同的位置,但是最优选该隔膜沿着容器的上边缘密封。具体的,可理解热成形桶通常具有向外延伸的法兰,其形成了上边缘,和该隔膜可以沿着该法兰密封。在一种可选择的实施方案中,该隔膜可以密封到下框架来闭合所述开口。在那种情况中,本领域技术人员可理解容器的下框架和上边缘之间的连接必须是气密性密封连接。Preferably the package includes a septum seal for sealing the product containing space prior to use. The diaphragm seal may contain metal or plastic-metal foil or may be just plastic foil. The diaphragm seal is a hermetic seal. In this context, a hermetic seal is understood to be a seal which substantially prevents the entry of gas into or out of the container during long-term storage. Preferably it is an oxygen barrier seal which prevents the diffusion of oxygen into the container of the seal. The oxygen permeability of the seal may preferably be less than 2.0 cm 3 /m 2 /day and more preferably may be less than 0.5 cm 3 /m 2 /day. The septum seal may be removed in its entirety prior to use or may comprise a weakened tear line defining an open area, and a pull tab. The septum seal may be provided at different locations, but most preferably the septum seals along the upper edge of the container. In particular, it will be appreciated that thermoformed barrels generally have an outwardly extending flange that forms an upper edge, and that the diaphragm can be sealed along this flange. In an alternative embodiment, the membrane may be sealed to the lower frame to close said opening. In that case, the person skilled in the art will understand that the connection between the lower frame and the upper edge of the container must be a hermetically sealed connection.

在一种最优选的实施方案中,该容器是或者包含壁厚小于0.5mm的薄壁热成形桶。通过使用薄壁热成形桶,限制了形成容器体所需的材料量。此外,相对较厚的塑料材料的下框架提供了对于外围壁的相对薄的材料所需的支撑,允许有效连接到上框架。在本文上下文中,相对薄被本领域技术人员理解为是相对于框架材料的。所述桶可以制成这样的壁厚,其足以提供所需的阻隔性能和强度。壁厚可以是大约0.10mm-0.60mm,优选0.2-0.40mm。将理解壁厚可以在横截面上变化,通常在轮缘处较厚和在侧壁处最薄。上面给出的壁厚值目的是表示侧壁的厚度,其通常是最小厚度点。下框架可以是明显较厚的,其是在它最小维度上测量的,并且可以具有足以确保与上框架牢固的机械连接的厚度。所述桶可以由任何能够热变形的适当的材料制成。最合适的材料是聚丙烯。但是,其他聚合物材料例如聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)或者聚乙烯(PE)也可以使用。还可以使用多层材料,其服从再循环要求。该下框架可以永久性连接到容器的上边缘,优选通过焊接。In a most preferred embodiment, the container is or comprises a thin walled thermoformed barrel having a wall thickness of less than 0.5mm. By using thin walled thermoformed barrels, the amount of material required to form the container body is limited. Furthermore, the lower frame of relatively thicker plastic material provides the support required for the relatively thinner material of the peripheral walls, allowing efficient connection to the upper frame. In this context, relatively thin is understood by a person skilled in the art to be relative to the frame material. The barrel can be made with a wall thickness sufficient to provide the desired barrier properties and strength. The wall thickness may be about 0.10mm-0.60mm, preferably 0.2-0.40mm. It will be appreciated that the wall thickness may vary across the cross-section, generally being thicker at the rim and thinnest at the side walls. The wall thickness values given above are intended to represent the thickness of the sidewall, which is usually the point of minimum thickness. The lower frame may be significantly thicker, measured in its smallest dimension, and may be of sufficient thickness to ensure a strong mechanical connection with the upper frame. The bucket may be made of any suitable material capable of being thermally deformed. The most suitable material is polypropylene. However, other polymeric materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene (PE) may also be used. It is also possible to use multilayer materials, which are subject to recycling requirements. The lower frame may be permanently attached to the upper edge of the container, preferably by welding.

有利的,该包装由单个材料种类组成,目的是再循环。这包括所述桶,上、下框架和盖子。隔膜密封件可以是相同的材料,虽然给定的是它是在打开时除去的,但是它也可以分别再循环。Advantageously, the packaging consists of a single material type with the aim of recycling. This includes the barrel, upper and lower frames and lid. The diaphragm seal can be the same material, although it is given that it is removed at opening, which can also be recycled separately.

此外,该容器可以进一步包含纸板套管,其包封和支撑热成形桶。该纸板套管可以以干涉配合来紧密安装到桶上,并且可以为外围壁提供必需的强度来稳定成形。换言之,外围壁的薄塑料材料可以具有单独的足够的强度,来例如当容器彼此堆叠时充分保持桶的形状。通过将其与纸板套管组合,可以实现改进的强度。该各自的层可以分别用于再循环。该套管可以包含50-400g/m2,优选100-300g/m2的硬纸板。该套管可以在底部打开,但是优选在桶底部下延伸。Additionally, the container may further comprise a cardboard sleeve that encloses and supports the thermoformed tub. The cardboard sleeve can fit snugly to the bucket with an interference fit and can provide the peripheral wall with the necessary strength to form stably. In other words, the thin plastic material of the peripheral wall may have sufficient strength alone to adequately retain the shape of the bucket eg when the containers are stacked on top of each other. Improved strength can be achieved by combining it with a cardboard sleeve. The respective layers can be used for recycling respectively. The sleeve may comprise cardboard of 50-400 g/m 2 , preferably 100-300 g/m 2 . The sleeve may be open at the bottom, but preferably extends under the bottom of the bucket.

根据一种实施方案,该包装可以具有通常正方形或者矩形外轮廓,具有圆角。该包装的体积可以是0.5L-3L,优选大约1.5L和该入孔优选的最小尺寸是至少70mm,更优选大约100mm和面积是至少100cm2。该包装的整体长度可以是150mm-250mm,优选大约185mm。该包装的宽度可以是100mm-150mm,优选大约120mm。该包装可以根据体积需要以多种高度来使用,其在80mm-150mm变化。According to one embodiment, the package may have a generally square or rectangular outer profile, with rounded corners. The volume of the package may be 0.5L-3L, preferably about 1.5L and the access hole preferably has a minimum dimension of at least 70mm, more preferably about 100mm and an area of at least 100cm2 . The overall length of the package may be 150mm-250mm, preferably about 185mm. The package may have a width of 100mm-150mm, preferably about 120mm. The package can be used in various heights according to volume requirements, which vary from 80mm-150mm.

所述包装特别适于容纳一定量的粉末化营养产品,其可以有效密封在产品容纳空间内。优选该粉末化营养产品包含婴儿配方奶粉。The package is particularly adapted to contain a quantity of powdered nutritional product which can be effectively sealed within the product containing space. Preferably the powdered nutritional product comprises infant formula.

优选将勺子提供在该包装内,并且可以在使用前位于隔膜密封件上。还可以想到的是勺子是与盖子结构整体形成的,并且在首次使用时分离。A scoop is preferably provided within the package and can be located on the septum seal prior to use. It is also conceivable that the spoon is integrally formed with the lid structure and separates upon first use.

具体实施方式detailed description

图1显示了根据本发明第一实施方案的具有盖子结构3的包装1的局部放大图。包装1包含盖子结构3和以桶2、套管4和隔膜密封件6形式的容器,该盖子结构3包括下框架8、上框架10和盖子12。Figure 1 shows a partial enlarged view of a package 1 with a lid structure 3 according to a first embodiment of the invention. The package 1 comprises a lid structure 3 comprising a lower frame 8 , an upper frame 10 and a lid 12 and a container in the form of a tub 2 , a sleeve 4 and a septum seal 6 .

桶2是由相对薄的聚丙烯材料热成形的,并且具有限定了产品容纳空间20的底部14和外围壁16容纳空间。外围壁16在上边缘18上延伸,该上边缘18具有向外导向的法兰19。套管4是由纸板形成的,并且具有壁22和底部24。下框架8是环形的环,该环具有直立的第一密封轮缘48,轮缘48包围着尺寸类似于产品容纳空间20的开口26。在第一轮缘48和开口26之间布置有定位开口46,其的功能将在下面进一步解释。上框架10也处于环的形式,并且具有向下延伸的倒钩40。下框架8和上框架10也是由聚丙烯制成的,虽然将理解其他适当的材料也可以使用。隔膜6包括拉片32和包括撕裂线28,撕裂线现代了开口区域30。Bucket 2 is thermoformed from a relatively thin polypropylene material and has a bottom 14 and a peripheral wall 16 containment space defining a product containment space 20 . The peripheral wall 16 extends over an upper edge 18 which has an outwardly directed flange 19 . The sleeve 4 is formed from cardboard and has a wall 22 and a bottom 24 . The lower frame 8 is an annular ring having an upstanding first sealing rim 48 surrounding the opening 26 which is similar in size to the product containing space 20 . Between the first rim 48 and the opening 26 a positioning opening 46 is arranged, the function of which will be explained further below. The upper frame 10 is also in the form of a loop and has downwardly extending barbs 40 . The lower frame 8 and upper frame 10 are also made of polypropylene, although it will be appreciated that other suitable materials could be used. The membrane 6 includes a tab 32 and includes a tear line 28 which defines an open area 30 .

图2显示了图1的包装1在处于与闭合的盖子12的组装态时的透视图。盖子12前边缘上的抓手(catch)36与上框架10上的肋条38结合来保持盖子12闭合。盖子12和上轮缘10也是由聚丙烯制成的。FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the package 1 of FIG. 1 in an assembled state with the lid 12 closed. A catch 36 on the front edge of the lid 12 engages a rib 38 on the upper frame 10 to hold the lid 12 closed. The cover 12 and upper rim 10 are also made of polypropylene.

图3显示了图1的包装1在处于与打开的盖子12的组装态时的透视图,并且除去所述隔膜来提供到产品容纳空间20的入口。勺子42通过夹子44保持在盖子12内,并且也可以位于与下框架8整体形成的勺子架子50中。还可见的是铰链11,其能够在盖子12和上框架10之间枢转连接。FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the package 1 of FIG. 1 in an assembled state with the lid 12 open and the membrane removed to provide access to the product containing space 20 . The spoon 42 is retained within the lid 12 by a clip 44 and may also be located in a spoon holder 50 integrally formed with the lower frame 8 . Also visible is a hinge 11 enabling a pivotable connection between the lid 12 and the upper frame 10 .

图4是沿着图2的线IV-IV的透视横截面。如可见的,隔膜6是沿着桶2的法兰19连接的,并且夹持下框架8(其覆盖在法兰19上)。法兰19,隔膜6和下框架8全部焊接在一起来形成单个相对硬质的轮缘结构。上框架10是通过向下延伸的倒钩40(其是通过下框架8的定位开口46连接的)与下框架8机械结合的。如这个图中同样可见,套管4靠着桶2的外围壁16紧密结合,向上延伸到法兰19下面来提供另外的支撑。这允许上轮缘10卡入下轮缘8中,而不引起桶2的变形或崩塌。FIG. 4 is a perspective cross-section along line IV-IV of FIG. 2 . As can be seen, the membrane 6 is attached along the flange 19 of the tub 2 and clamps the lower frame 8 (which overlies the flange 19). The flange 19, diaphragm 6 and lower frame 8 are all welded together to form a single relatively rigid rim structure. The upper frame 10 is mechanically coupled to the lower frame 8 by downwardly extending barbs 40 connected through positioning openings 46 of the lower frame 8 . As can also be seen in this figure, the sleeve 4 fits snugly against the peripheral wall 16 of the bucket 2, extending upwardly below the flange 19 to provide additional support. This allows the upper rim 10 to snap into the lower rim 8 without causing deformation or collapse of the tub 2 .

根据本发明的一个重要方面,盖子结构3具有两个密封件。圆周第一密封件是由直立的第一密封轮缘48形成的,其与向下延伸的第一凹槽54在上框架10的下侧上结合。圆周第二密封件是由上框架10上侧上直立的第二密封轮缘56形成的,其与向下延伸的第二凹槽58在盖子12的下侧上结合。导入网60,62分别位于第一凹槽54和第二凹槽58的任一侧上。According to an important aspect of the invention, the cover structure 3 has two seals. A circumferential first seal is formed by an upstanding first sealing rim 48 which joins a downwardly extending first groove 54 on the underside of the upper frame 10 . A circumferential second seal is formed by an upstanding second sealing rim 56 on the upper side of the upper frame 10 , which joins a downwardly extending second groove 58 on the underside of the lid 12 . Lead-in meshes 60, 62 are located on either side of the first groove 54 and the second groove 58, respectively.

图5a-5c显示了在上框架10连接到下框架8过程中,在图4位置处的横截面。图4a显示了上框架10,其进入与下框架8的初始结合。第一凹槽54的导入网60靠着直立的第一轮缘48的结合,并且将它朝着第一凹槽54导向。倒钩40已经进入定位开口46中。Figures 5a-5c show a cross-section at the position of Figure 4 during the connection of the upper frame 10 to the lower frame 8. FIG. 4 a shows the upper frame 10 entering initial engagement with the lower frame 8 . The introduction web 60 of the first groove 54 engages against the upstanding first rim 48 and guides it towards the first groove 54 . The barb 40 has entered into the positioning opening 46 .

在图5b中,上框架10已经下压到下框架8上。这可以通过压到盖子12上来实现。根据一种重要的设计考虑,通过压在盖子12上,通过盖子12的导入网62将力F靠着上框架10施加。以此方式,避免了另外的压力或者第二轮缘56更深的结合到第二凹槽58中。当上框架10下压时,第一轮缘48进入第一凹槽54和倒钩40弯曲到定位开口46中。In FIG. 5 b the upper frame 10 has been pressed down onto the lower frame 8 . This can be done by pressing onto the cover 12 . According to an important design consideration, the force F is exerted against the upper frame 10 through the lead-in web 62 of the cover 12 by pressing on the cover 12 . In this way, additional pressure or deeper binding of the second rim 56 into the second groove 58 is avoided. When the upper frame 10 is depressed, the first rim 48 enters the first groove 54 and the barb 40 bends into the positioning opening 46 .

图5c显示了上框架10,其与下框架8完全结合,并且倒钩40锁入定位开口46中。在这个阶段,不施加相当大的力和破坏所述包装,除去上轮缘10是不可能的。要注意的是倒钩40凸入桶2内部和因此不能从包装1之外进入。还要注意的是在完全组装位置,第一轮缘48没有降至第一凹槽54最低点。这确保了由于制造公差,倒钩40将不阻止连接。FIG. 5 c shows the upper frame 10 fully integrated with the lower frame 8 and with the barbs 40 locked into the positioning openings 46 . At this stage, it is not possible to remove the upper rim 10 without applying considerable force and breaking the package. Note that the barbs 40 protrude into the interior of the bucket 2 and are therefore not accessible from outside the package 1 . Note also that in the fully assembled position, the first rim 48 does not bottom out in the first groove 54 . This ensures that the barbs 40 will not prevent the connection due to manufacturing tolerances.

在这个图中,还可以看到上框架10具有外圆周裙部66和盖子12具有外表面64。外表面64和裙部66在盖子12处于闭合位置时是共面的。换言之,盖子12和上框架10都具有外表面,其在这个位置是一起光滑弯曲的。此外,下框架8具有外围表面68,并且外围表面68和裙部66在上框架10和下框架8连接到一起时也是共面的,如图5c所示。In this figure, it can also be seen that the upper frame 10 has an outer circumferential skirt 66 and the cover 12 has an outer surface 64 . Outer surface 64 and skirt 66 are coplanar when lid 12 is in the closed position. In other words, both the cover 12 and the upper frame 10 have outer surfaces that are smoothly curved together at this location. Furthermore, the lower frame 8 has a peripheral surface 68, and the peripheral surface 68 and the skirt 66 are also coplanar when the upper frame 10 and the lower frame 8 are joined together, as shown in Fig. 5c.

图6a-6c显示了在图3的方向VI-VI上的横截面,盖子12处于闭合到上框架10上的不同阶段。在图6a中,盖子12处于由铰链11支撑的打开位置。如可见的,铰链11的位置处于相对于上框架10的裙部66的径向向内的位置。这意味着当包装1彼此相邻叠置时,铰链11不向外凸出和阻止闭合堆叠。它也不太可能意外卡住或者阻碍。还要注意的是在这个位置,不存在支撑第二凹槽58的导入法兰62,并且内壁58A长于第二凹槽58的外壁58B。Figures 6a-6c show cross-sections in the direction VI-VI of Figure 3 with the lid 12 at different stages of closing onto the upper frame 10. In FIG. 6 a the lid 12 is in an open position supported by the hinge 11 . As can be seen, the position of the hinge 11 is at a radially inward position relative to the skirt 66 of the upper frame 10 . This means that when the packages 1 are stacked next to each other, the hinges 11 do not protrude outwards and prevent closing the stack. It's also less likely to accidentally get stuck or get in the way. Note also that in this position, there is no lead-in flange 62 supporting the second groove 58 and the inner wall 58A is longer than the outer wall 58B of the second groove 58 .

图6b显示了处于部分闭合位置的盖子12,并且直立的第二轮缘56是与第二凹槽58的内壁58A结合的。当盖子12仍然处于相对于上框架10大约20°的角度时发生这种接触。内壁58A超过外壁58B的向下延伸确保了将第二轮缘56导入第二凹槽58中。在这种情况中,延伸的内壁58A充当了导入结构,并且由于这个原因,在这个区域中不需要导入法兰62。实际上,不存在导入法兰62使得内壁58A在盖子12和上框架10之间的角度变化时更容易弯曲。此外,在闭合盖子12时的环形结合防止了第二轮缘56以线性方式进入第二凹槽58中。盖子12上的导入网62有助于引导这个角度进入,这确保了第二轮缘56向第二凹槽58内的渐进结合,其是从与铰链11相邻的盖子12的后边缘开始的,并且在圆周的周围步进到与抓手36相邻的盖子12的前边缘。除了有助于将第二轮缘56导入第二凹槽58中之外,导入网62还支撑了第二凹槽58和帮助保持它的位置。因为导入网62所提供的另外的支撑,因此形成第二凹槽58的结构可以制成更大挠性的,这使得闭合动作更柔和。如上所述,用于这些特征的位置的制造公差取决于开口26的整体尺寸。FIG. 6 b shows the lid 12 in a partially closed position with the upstanding second rim 56 engaged with the inner wall 58A of the second recess 58 . This contact occurs while the cover 12 is still at an angle of approximately 20° relative to the upper frame 10 . The downward extension of the inner wall 58A beyond the outer wall 58B ensures that the second rim 56 is guided into the second groove 58 . In this case, the extended inner wall 58A acts as a lead-in structure, and for this reason no lead-in flange 62 is required in this region. Indeed, the absence of lead-in flange 62 makes it easier for inner wall 58A to flex when the angle between cover 12 and upper frame 10 changes. Furthermore, the annular engagement when closing the lid 12 prevents the second rim 56 from entering the second groove 58 in a linear manner. The lead-in web 62 on the lid 12 helps guide this angled entry, which ensures a progressive engagement of the second rim 56 into the second groove 58 starting from the rear edge of the lid 12 adjacent the hinge 11 , and step around the circumference to the front edge of the lid 12 adjacent the grip 36 . In addition to helping guide the second rim 56 into the second groove 58, the guide web 62 also supports the second groove 58 and helps maintain its position. Because of the additional support provided by the lead-in mesh 62, the structure forming the second groove 58 can be made more flexible, which makes the closing action softer. Manufacturing tolerances for the location of these features depend on the overall size of the opening 26, as described above.

图6c显示了处于闭合位置的盖子12,直立的第二轮缘56是与第二凹槽58结合的。如上面已经描述的,避免了第二轮缘56全部结合到第二凹槽58中,并且盖子12的闭合位置是通过导入网62与上框架10相邻和外表面64在裙部66上结合来决定的。FIG. 6c shows the lid 12 in the closed position with the upstanding second rim 56 engaging the second groove 58 . As already described above, the full engagement of the second rim 56 in the second groove 58 is avoided, and the closed position of the lid 12 is by introducing the web 62 adjacent the upper frame 10 and the outer surface 64 in engagement on the skirt 66 to decide.
