薄肉部が的確に樹脂で射出成形され、ピンホールなどの欠陥が出ていないことを確認するには、例えば、製造開始時に製品の包装充填容器を抜き取り、所定の厚肉部を計測して確認する。例えば、実用的な接触式の肉厚測定器を用いても、非常に狭い幅で成形される脆化部の測定には不向きである。この測定器の先端のプローブが尖っていると、測定誤差が発生しやすくなり、従って、厚肉部を測定し、薄肉部の厚みを推定する。しかし、信頼性に疑問が有る。
更に、上述のように測定サンプルは製品の包装充填容器であり、破壊テストなので、製品が無駄になり、製造コストを押し上げる。

To confirm that the thin-walled part has been accurately injection-molded with resin and that there are no pinholes or other defects, for example, at the start of production, the product packaging filling container is pulled out, and the predetermined thick-walled part is measured and checked. To do. For example, even if a practical contact-type thickness measuring device is used, it is not suitable for measuring an embrittled portion formed with a very narrow width. If the probe at the tip of the measuring instrument is sharp, a measurement error is likely to occur. Therefore, the thick part is measured and the thickness of the thin part is estimated. However, there are doubts about reliability.
Furthermore, as described above, the measurement sample is a packaging and filling container for the product and is a destructive test, so that the product is wasted and the manufacturing cost is increased.

According to the present invention having the above configuration, the following functions are exhibited and advantageous effects are obtained.
In the present invention, a cylindrical sleeve formed from a paper laminated packaging material is used. A web-shaped packaging material in which a crease line is formed on a paper base material / plastic laminate can be cut into a paper piece having a container size, and a cylindrical sleeve can be obtained by vertical line sealing in the longitudinal direction.
The cylindrical sleeve is an injection molding means, and a lid is formed by injection molding a resin on the top end of the sleeve, and one side of the sleeve, that is, the top end side is sealed. This invention has features after the injection molding step.
Since one end of the sleeve is sealed, the liquid food can be filled from the opening of the other end with the sealed side down and the other end of the sleeve up.
The opening is sealed with a sealing means such as heat sealing (horizontal sealing), and the fins and flaps by the horizontal sealing are folded to form the bottom. The folding can be performed using a crease line or the like. Finally, the composite paper container can be obtained by rotating the bottom part downward.

本発明の特徴において、射出成形手段で、内側金型を一方の電極とし、外側金型を他方の電極とし、電極間に電位差を印加して蓋部の薄肉部を検査手段で検査する。
スリーブが紙/プラスチックの積層体であるので、電気絶縁性であり、また、蓋部が樹脂製(例えば、熱可塑性材料、具体的には、ポリオレフィン(低密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレンなど))であるので、電気絶縁性であり、電極間に電位差を印加しても、電極間に電流が流れない。非常に狭い幅で成形されていても、金型が蓋部の表面と密着しているために、電極間に電位差を印加する場合、電気容量を持つコンデンサーと見なすことができ、蓋部の厚みやヒビ、ピンホール、空隙の有無などの状態で、その電気容量が変化し、その変化を検査することができる。また、電極間距離が異常に接近して、厚みが許容されない薄さになっている場合、電極間に放電が生じて電流が流れるか否かを検査することもできる。
この発明において、蓋部の状態を電気容量の変化、また電流の流れとして測定して蓋部を検査することができる。とりわけ、蓋部の薄肉部の状態を電気的変化として測定し、薄肉部を検査することができる。
In the feature of the present invention, the injection mold means uses the inner mold as one electrode, the outer mold as the other electrode, applies a potential difference between the electrodes, and inspects the thin part of the lid with the inspection means.
Since the sleeve is a paper / plastic laminate, it is electrically insulating, and the lid is made of resin (for example, thermoplastic material, specifically polyolefin (low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) Therefore, even if a potential difference is applied between the electrodes, no current flows between the electrodes. Even if it is molded with a very narrow width, because the mold is in close contact with the surface of the lid, if a potential difference is applied between the electrodes, it can be regarded as a capacitor with an electric capacity, and the thickness of the lid The capacitance changes in the presence or absence of cracks, pinholes, voids, etc., and the change can be inspected. Further, when the distance between the electrodes is abnormally close and the thickness is not allowed to be thin, it is possible to inspect whether or not a current flows due to discharge between the electrodes.
In the present invention, the lid can be inspected by measuring the state of the lid as a change in electric capacity or a current flow. In particular, the thin portion of the lid can be measured as an electrical change to inspect the thin portion.

本発明の特徴において、検査の結果を判断して不良な薄肉部を有するスリーブを、排除手段で充填手段の上流側で排除する。
蓋部の薄肉部の状態を電気的変化として測定し、薄肉部での異常な厚み(設計された厚みよりも太い場合や薄い場合)、ヒビ、ピンホール、空隙の有無を検査することができる。
液体食品を充填する前に、不良なスリーブを排除することができるので、液体食品を無用に廃棄することを回避することができ、製造コストを下げることができ、また、環境負荷を低減することもできる。
In the feature of the present invention, the sleeve having a defective thin portion is judged on the upstream side of the filling means by judging the result of the inspection.
Measures the state of the thin part of the lid as an electrical change, and can inspect the presence of abnormal thickness (if thicker or thinner than the designed thickness), cracks, pinholes, and voids in the thin part .
Since the bad sleeve can be eliminated before filling with liquid food, it is possible to avoid unnecessary disposal of liquid food, reduce the manufacturing cost, and reduce the environmental load You can also.

A potential difference is applied from a power source, and the thin portion of the lid 3 is inspected by the inspection means 11.
Since the sleeve 2 is a paper / plastic laminate, it is electrically insulative, and since the lid is polyethylene, it is electrically insulative. No current flows through the capacitor, but even if it is very narrow or thin, the mold is in close contact with the surface of the lid. The electric capacity changes depending on the thickness of the lid, cracks, pinholes, presence or absence of voids, and the change is inspected. Also, the presence or absence of discharge is inspected.
In this embodiment, the state of the lid 3 is measured as a change in electric capacity, whether or not electricity is applied, and the lid 3 is inspected. In particular, the state of the thin portion of the lid is measured as an electrical change, and the thin portion is inspected. To do.
