Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plastic element for a packaging, comprising: a base body made of plastic, a flange for fastening a composite material of a packaging, and an electrical, in particular electronic element, which is arranged on the plastic element or is integrated into the plastic element, the plastic element consisting of a thermoplastic plastic is made.
  • the invention also relates to a packaging with a plastic element, comprising: at least one area made of a composite material, and at least one plastic element, the composite material having at least one carrier layer made of a cellulosic fiber material, preferably made of paper, cardboard or cardboard and at least on both sides of the carrier layer comprises a plastic layer, wherein the plastic element has a flange for fastening the composite material, and wherein the composite material is connected to the flange of the plastic element.
  • Packaging can be produced in different ways and from a wide variety of materials.
  • a widespread possibility of their production consists in producing a blank from the packaging material, from which, by folding and further steps, first a packaging jacket and finally a packaging is created.
  • This type of production has the advantage, among other things, that the blanks and pack sleeves are very flat and can therefore be stacked to save space. In this way, the blanks or packaging jackets can be produced at a different location than the folding and filling of the packaging jackets.
  • Composites or composite materials are often used as the material, for example a composite of several thin layers of paper, cardboard, plastic or metal, especially aluminum. Such packaging is particularly widespread in the food industry.
  • the - increasing and increasing - requirements for packaging are to provide information about the condition of its contents. For example, many food packaging is provided with a "best before date" by means of which the customer can see until when the contents - probably - will be the best before. The best-before date therefore corresponds to a recommended use-by period and must therefore be distinguished from an "expiry date”. Another source of information are so-called “originality seals", which are destroyed when a package is opened for the first time, so that a customer can see whether a package has already been opened.
  • the US 2007/062 903 A1 discloses a tamper-evident bottle overcap for receiving an electronic label.
  • the DE 10 2010 050 502 A1 discloses an apparatus and method for making a package.
  • the EP 2 123 570 A1 discloses an IC tagged plastic cap and method of attaching the IC tag to the cap.
  • the DE 20 2009 011 274 U1 discloses a beverage package.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing and developing the plastic element described above and the packaging described above in such a way that even with disposable packaging, a cost-effective way of obtaining information about the state of the contents of the packaging is created.
  • the invention relates to a plastic element for packaging, in particular for disposable packaging made of composite material.
  • the composite material preferably has at least one carrier layer made of a cellulosic fiber material, preferably made of paper, cardboard or cardboard, which is covered on both sides by at least one plastic layer.
  • the composite material can also have a layer made of aluminum.
  • the plastic element initially comprises a base body made of plastic.
  • the plastic element comprises a flange for fastening a composite material of a packaging.
  • the flange is preferably arranged on the base body.
  • the plastic element is made from a thermoplastic material, for example from PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene), in particular PE-HD (high-density polyethylene). These materials have the advantage, for example, of free and variable shaping (for example by injection molding).
  • the specified plastics may contain fillers ("fillers") made from other materials are manufactured (e.g. mineral materials).
  • the plastic element can be formed in one layer or in multiple layers.
  • the plastic element is supplemented by an electrical, in particular electronic element, which is arranged on the plastic element or is integrated into the plastic element.
  • An arrangement on the plastic element can be understood to mean, for example, an arrangement in which the electrical element touches the plastic element.
  • the electrical element is firmly connected to the plastic element (e.g. glued) and / or the electrical element is positively connected to the plastic element (e.g. clamped).
  • the electrical element can be arranged on the outside (side facing away from the contents of the packaging) or on the inside (side facing the contents of the packaging) of the plastic element.
  • the electrical element can be integrated into the plastic element, which is to be understood as an arrangement in which the electrical element is completely surrounded by the material of the plastic element.
  • the electrical element can be integrated into the plastic element during the manufacture of the plastic element, for example by inserting or inserting the electrical element into the (still) viscous plastic or by inserting the electrical element into the injection molding tool.
  • the overmoulding of inserts creates hybrid components made of plastic and metal (the electrical element can have metallic components).
  • the electrical element is arranged in particular on the base body of the plastic element or integrated into the base body of the plastic element.
  • the electrical, in particular electronic element can be, for example, a chip with integrated circuits.
  • the electrical, in particular electronic element comprises a sensor.
  • the sensor can be, for example, a pressure sensor, a pH value sensor, a temperature sensor, a sensor for measuring the oxygen content, a sensor for measuring the electrical conductivity, a sensor for measuring the proportion of one or more Act vitamins / trace elements or a sensor for measuring metabolic products.
  • a sensor also: "transducer" serves the purpose of recording certain physical or chemical properties of the contents of the packaging qualitatively and / or quantitatively. It can be a passive sensor (does not require any auxiliary energy) or an active sensor (requires auxiliary energy).
  • the auxiliary power can be provided by an integrated battery or by external activation (for example by electromagnetic induction).
  • the senor can be arranged on the surface, in particular on the inside of the plastic element (e.g. for contact measuring methods) or integrated into the plastic element (e.g. for contactless measuring methods). It is advantageous if two measured values are used to determine the current quality of the food. This can be the same parameter, the sensor measuring the measured value, for example a pH value, for the first time, for example when it comes into contact with the product, and then a change in the measured value without knowing the actual quantitative value.
  • the sensor is therefore preferably a sensor that detects a qualitative change in a measured value. It can therefore be advantageous in some cases if the sensor is designed to determine at least one relative value of the measured value relative to an initial measured value.
  • the electrical, in particular electronic element comprises a transmitter.
  • a transmitter is to transform or convert an input variable (eg a signal measured by a sensor) into an output variable (eg an electromagnetic wave). The conversion may be necessary, for example, in order to be able to send a measured line-bound signal wirelessly.
  • Transmitters are therefore sometimes also referred to as transmitter systems or transmitters.
  • the transmitter can for example have an oscillator, an amplifier, a modulator and an antenna.
  • the electrical, in particular electronic element comprises an antenna.
  • the purpose of an antenna is to send and receive electromagnetic waves. Since the required size of the antenna depends on the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves transmitted or received with it, a separate antenna is preferred over an integrated antenna (e.g. over an antenna integrated in the transmitter).
  • the antenna preferably has a length of at least 10 mm, in particular of at least 15 mm or at least 20 mm.
  • the antenna is at least partially circular in shape.
  • the antenna can be arranged around the pouring opening if the plastic element is a pouring element of a packaging.
  • the plastic element of claim 1 is supplemented by at least one electrical conductor that connects the electrical, in particular electronic element to the flange.
  • the purpose of the electrical conductor is to establish an electrical connection between the electrical element and the flange in order to be able to establish an electrical connection there with the composite material to be fastened to the flange.
  • the electrical conductor can for example be made of metal, in particular of copper or aluminum.
  • the electrical conductor is formed by a wire.
  • the plastic element preferably has two electrical conductors which connect the electrical element to the flange.
  • the at least one electrical conductor is preferably integrated at least in sections into the plastic element - in particular into its base body.
  • the electrical conductor is arranged at least in sections on the contact side of the flange.
  • the contact side of the flange is understood to mean that side of the flange to which the composite material of the packaging is attached. Depending on the configuration, this can be the inside of the flange or the outside of the flange. If multiple electrical conductors are provided, preferably all of them are electrical conductors arranged at least in sections on the contact side of the flange. In this case it is preferred that the electrical conductors do not form an overlap, but rather extend over different sections of the flange.
  • the first electrical conductor extends over two adjacent sides of the flange, while the second electrical conductor extends over the other two sides. In this way, reverse polarity protection is guaranteed and short circuits are avoided.
  • the plastic element is a pouring element of a packaging with a pouring opening.
  • a pouring element serves the purpose of being able to pour out the contents located in the packaging.
  • the pouring element can be configured in several parts and, in addition to the base body, comprise, for example, a screw cap.
  • the plastic element is a base element of a packaging.
  • the purpose of the bottom element of the packaging is to be able to put the packaging down safely and to be designed to be dimensionally stable as possible.
  • the pouring element (and its flange) and / or the base element (and its flange) determine the shape of the packaging; they can be square - especially square - round, or oval.
  • a packaging with a plastic element comprising: at least one area made of a composite material, and at least one plastic element, the composite material having at least one carrier layer made of a cellulosic fiber material, preferably made of paper, cardboard or cardboard and on both sides of each of the carrier layer has at least one plastic layer, wherein the plastic element has a flange for fastening the composite material, and wherein the composite material is connected to the flange of the plastic element.
  • a packaging that is made partly from plastic parts and partly from a composite material.
  • the composite material can, for example, have a thickness in the range between 150 g / m 2 and 400 g / m 2 , in particular between 200 g / m 2 and 250 g / m 2 exhibit.
  • the packaging is characterized by an electrical, in particular electronic, element which is arranged on the plastic element or is integrated into the plastic element.
  • the arrangement of the electrical element on the plastic part or the integration of the electronic element into the plastic part has the advantage that the arrangement there is easier to manufacture than an arrangement in the composite material. This is particularly due to the fact that many electrical elements have a certain thickness, which makes integration into the very thin composite materials difficult.
  • the composite material can, for example, have a thickness in the range between 0.2 mm and 1.0 mm, in particular between 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm.
  • the composite material is typically produced in large quantities as roll goods by joining several layers of different materials to one another. Only then is the composite material cut to size with regard to the different packaging sizes to be produced; however, the electrical elements must be integrated into the composite material (for example between two layers of the composite material) before cutting. This would also make a precise arrangement of the electrical elements in the composite material more difficult. For these reasons, it is advantageous to arrange the electrical elements in or on the plastic elements. Another advantage is that the wireless or cordless transmission of signals through the plastic elements to the outside (e.g. to a consumer device, e.g. to a smartphone) is easier than through the shielding aluminum layer, which is provided in some composite materials.
  • the plastic element is a plastic element according to one of Claims 1 to 7.
  • the plastic element described above is particularly suitable in all of the illustrated configurations for producing the packaging. This is particularly due to the fact that the plastic element has a flange to which the composite material of the packaging can be attached (eg glued). The plastic element is therefore structurally oriented towards the connection with a composite material.
  • Another embodiment of the packaging provides that the electrical, in particular electronic element is arranged in such a way that it is in contact with the contents of the packaging or that the electrical, in particular electronic element is arranged in such a way that it has no contact with the contents of the packaging.
  • An arrangement in contact with the contents of the packaging can be achieved, for example, in that the electrical element is arranged on the inside of the plastic element, in particular on the inside of the base body. In this way, the electrical element can touch the contents of the packaging, for example the product (in the lower area of the packaging) or air or another gas mixture (in the upper area of the packaging).
  • the contacting arrangement can be useful, for example, if the electrical element is a sensor that is intended to detect certain physical or chemical properties of the contents of the packaging using a contacting measurement method.
  • an arrangement without contact with the contents of the packaging can be achieved, for example, in that the electrical element is arranged on the outside of the plastic element or is completely integrated into the plastic element.
  • the electrical element can be arranged on the outside of the base body or can be completely integrated into the base body. In this way, contact between the electrical element and the contents of the packaging is reliably prevented.
  • the contactless arrangement can be useful, for example, if the functionality of the electrical element could be impaired by the contents of the packaging or if the contents of the packaging must not come into contact with the electrical element for reasons of hygiene.
  • the area made of composite material is a circumferential jacket surface.
  • the packaging is made of composite material along its entire circumference. Due to the very cost-effective production of composite material, the use of composite material over the largest possible area in particular has cost advantages. In addition, the largest possible use of composite material allows a particularly low weight.
  • the lateral surface can be continuously curved (for example round cross-section, oval cross-section) or be composed of several side surfaces separated by folded edges (for example square, in particular square cross-section).
  • the composite material have a longitudinal seam in the area of the lateral surface.
  • the longitudinal seam is created by folding a blank made of composite material and connecting the two edges that come together.
  • the longitudinal seam preferably runs in the vertical direction, that is to say from the bottom area in the direction of the gable area of the packaging.
  • the composite material has at least one layer of paper or cardboard, which can be covered at the edge of the longitudinal seam running inside the package jacket.
  • the purpose of covering the paper layer or cardboard layer is to avoid contact between the contents of the packaging and this layer. This serves on the one hand to prevent liquid from escaping through the - not liquid-tight - paper layer or cardboard layer and, on the other hand, to protect the contents of the packaging from contamination through the paper layer or cardboard layer (e.g.
  • the layer of paper or cardboard can be covered by a sealing strip and / or by folding over the composite material in the area of the longitudinal seam.
  • One way of covering is to attach a separate sealing strip.
  • the sealing strip can, for example, be made of the same material as the innermost layer of the composite material and can be glued or welded to this layer.
  • the composite material is peeled and / or folded over in the region of the longitudinal seam and / or has a sealing strip.
  • a “peeled” composite material is understood to mean a composite material which has fewer layers in the peeled area than in the other areas. The peeling has the advantage of a less pronounced increase in thickness, particularly in the area of overlapping of several material layers. The use of peeled composite material is therefore particularly advantageous when the composite material is folded or folded over - for example in the area of the longitudinal seam. By folding it is achieved that the layer of paper or cardboard is covered. In this way, not all layers, but only the innermost layer of the composite material appear on the edge of the longitudinal seam running inside the packaging. However, the innermost layer must anyway be made of a material that is suitable for contact with the contents of the packaging.
  • the sealing strip can be a plastic strip which is connected to the inside of the composite material, in particular glued or sealed, and which seals the longitudinal seam.
  • the composite material has at least one electrical conductor.
  • the purpose of the electrical conductor is to conduct electrical current through the composite material, for example from the bottom area of the packaging to the gable area of the packaging.
  • electrical elements such as sensors, transmitters and the like can be connected to one another.
  • the electrical conductor can be, for example, a thin wire or a thin strip made of an electrically conductive material such as metal, in particular copper or aluminum.
  • the electrical conductor extends through the entire length of the composite material. This has the particular advantage of simple manufacture, since the conductor can be placed between two plies or layers of the composite material during the manufacture of the composite material.
  • the composite material can have two or more electrical conductors; in this case the electrical conductors preferably run parallel to one another. This has the advantage that the electrical conductors do not intersect or do not touch.
  • the electrical conductor can also be arranged subsequently in the area of the longitudinal seam. become. This can be achieved, for example, in that the composite material is folded over or folded over in the region of the longitudinal seam and the electrical conductor is arranged in the region of the folded over or folded over. If several electrical conductors are provided, the conductors are preferably electrically isolated from one another, for example by a plastic layer.
  • the electrical conductor can also be integrated into a plastic strip or sealing strip that is glued to the inside of the composite material.
  • the composite material has at least one layer made of an electrically conductive material, in particular made of aluminum.
  • the aluminum layer has the advantage that the contents of the packaging are particularly well protected from light and oxygen. Another advantage is that an aluminum layer is electrically conductive and can therefore take on the function of an electrical conductor. In order to obtain two electrical conductors, it is therefore sufficient to provide only one further electrical conductor in addition to the aluminum layer. If several electrical conductors are provided, the conductors are preferably electrically insulated from one another, for example by a plastic layer.
  • the electrical conductor and / or the layer of electrically conductive material be arranged at least in the area of the plastic element on the contact side of the composite material.
