Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電子レンジで使用する紙カップに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来より、自動販売機などで熱い飲料用、即席食品用などに紙カップが広く使用されている。また、一般的ではないものの、飲料や惣菜などの入った紙カップを直接電子レンジを利用し、加熱調理することも行なわれている。一般的な紙カップPは、図6に示すように、胴部材1と底部材2とからなり、胴部材1は主に胴部11を形成し、上端を外側にカールしてトップカール部12とし、下端を内側に折り返して折り返し部13としている。一方、底部材2は主に底面部21を形成し、外周縁部を下方へ略直角に屈曲して屈曲部22としている。胴部材1と底部材2の接合は、底部材2の屈曲部22を、胴部材1の折り返し部13と、胴部11の下端部とで挟んで加熱圧着している。この底部材2の屈曲部22を挟み込んで接合した部分を糸じり部Zと称し、底面部21を上げ底にしている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、一般形状の紙カップPに内容物を入れて電子レンジで加熱調理した場合、紙カップの底の糸じり部Zに焦げを生じる場合があるという問題がある。その原因は、つぎのように考えられる。紙の材料のパルプのセルロースは基本的には電子レンジのマイクロ波を吸収する。従って、紙の重なる糸じり部Zでは、紙厚が増し発熱量が増す。一方、表面積は変わらないため熱の放出量が同じで、発生した熱を蓄積することになり、温度が上昇し、焦げを発生させる原因となっている。ただし、内容物がある場合には、焦げが発生しにくくなる。それは、紙に発生し蓄積された熱が内容物に奪われるためと考えられる。つまり、通常の紙カップPでは、図6に示すように、胴部材1と底部材2の接合部位として糸じり部Zを持つ構造であるため、この糸じり部Zは、表側と裏側の両面からマイクロ波の照射を受けること、内容物に触れることななく、畜熱されやすく、そのために焦げが生じやすい。
【0004】
本発明は、紙カップの中に、飲料や即席食品などの内容物を入れ、電子レンジで加熱調理した時に、糸じり部に焦げを発生させることのない電子レンジ対応紙カップを提供することを目的とするものである。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記のような課題を解決すべく検討した結果、本発明の電子レンジ対応紙カップは、筒状の胴部と、該胴部の上端側を折り曲げたトップカール部と、該胴部の下端を内側に折り返した折り返し部とを有する胴部材と、底面部と、該底面部の外周縁部を折り曲げた屈曲部とを有する底部材とを備えて、前記胴部と前記折り返し部との間に前記屈曲部が挟み込まれて互いに接合された紙カップであって、前記底面部が、下方に凹状に形成され、最大深さが、前記胴部材の前記折り返し部の上端から前記折り返し部の幅の70%以上であり、かつ、前記底面部の下面部と胴部の下端により形成される下端面との距離が8mm未満であることを特徴とする電子レンジ対応紙カップである。また、前記胴部材および前記底部材に使用する材料が、紙を主強度材とし、最内層に熱可塑性樹脂層が設けられた構成であり、前記紙が、150〜300g/m2の範囲の坪量のカップ原紙であることを特徴とする。
【0006】
本発明によれば、紙カップの底面部の形状が下方に凹状であることから、紙カップの中に、飲料や即席食品などの内容物を入れ、電子レンジで加熱調理した時に、糸じり部に焦げを発生させることのない電子レンジ対応紙カップを得ることができる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、図面を参照しながら、本発明について、さらに詳しく説明する。図1は、本発明による電子レンジ対応紙カップの一実施例の部分断面図である。電子レンジ対応紙カップAは、図1−aに示すように、胴部材1と底部材2とから構成されている。胴部材1は、胴部11と、上端を外側にカールしてトップカール部12と、下端を内側に折り返して折り返し部13とからなっている。一方、底部材2は、内面から見て下方に凹状に変形した底面部21Uと、外周縁部を下方へ略直角に屈曲して屈曲部22とからなっている。胴部材1と底部材2の接合は、底部材2の屈曲部22を、胴部材1の折り返し部13と、胴部11の下端部とで挟んで加熱圧着している。
【0008】
この底面部21Uは、図1−bに示すように、内面から見て下方に凹状に変形されたU字形状をしている。好ましくは、図1−cに示すように、下面部21Uaと壁面部21Ubとからなるトレー形状であり、下面部21Uaは平面状とし、壁面部21Ubは胴部材1の折り返し部13に近ずけることが好ましい。また、底面部21Uの最大深さは、胴部材1の折り返し部13の上端から折り返し部13の幅の70%以上が望ましい。70%以上にすることによって、電子レンジ内で糸じり部Zの裏側からのマイクロ波の照射を遮ることができ、糸じり部Zの焦げの発生を防ぐことができる。70%未満の場合には、糸じり部Zが焦げる危険がある。
【0009】
また、下面部21Uaと胴部11の下端により形成される下端面Xとの距離xは、上方に8mm未満、下方に2mm未満の範囲が好ましい。距離xが、図2−aに示すように、上方に8mm以上の場合には、糸じり部Zの裏側からのマイクロ波を遮蔽する効果がなくなる。また、距離xが、図2−bに示すように、下方に2mm以上の場合には、電子レンジ対応紙カップAは、安定性を失う危険がある。
【0010】
つぎに、本発明の電子レンジ対応紙カップAを製造する方法について説明する。
【0011】
この電子レンジ対応紙カップAは、図3に示すような胴部ブランク31と底部ブランク32とから製造されるが、その製造方法は、大きく二つの方法に分けることができる。
【0012】
一つの方法は、図4に示すように、まず一般的な紙カップと同様な形状の紙カップを作製する。この底部材2の変形前の紙カップの製造は、紙カップ成型機で一般的な紙カップと同様に成型することができる。一般的に、胴部ブランク31は、あらかじめ前工程で打ち抜かれたものを使用し、底部ブランク32は、紙カップ成型機上で打ち抜かれる。この底面部21が底上げとなっている紙カップをつぎの工程で底面部21を下方に凹状に変形してU字形状の底面部21Uとする方法である。
【0013】
もう一つの方法は、図5に示すように、予め、胴部材1と底部材2とを別の工程で加工しておく。そして、つぎの工程で、筒状に成形した胴部材1aとU字形状の底面部21Uを有する底部材2aとを、底部材1の屈曲部22を胴部材1の折り返し部13と胴部11の下端部とで挟んで接合する方法である。
【0014】
つぎに、本発明の電子レンジ対応紙カップAの胴部材1および底部材2に使用する材料は、紙を主強度材とし、最内層に熱可塑性樹脂を設けることを基本としている。
【0015】
主強度材となる紙としては、紙カップ成形適性の良いカップ原紙を使用することが好ましい。坪量は、紙カップ成形適性上、150〜300g/m2の範囲が好ましく、150g/m2未満の場合には、成形時にひび割れやピンホールを生じやすく、300g/m2を超えた場合には、紙カップの成形適性が悪くなる。
【0016】
また、底部材2に用いるカップ原紙の坪量は、150〜220g/m2の範囲が好ましく、150g/m2未満の場合には、底面部21を下方に凹状に変形してU字形状の底面部21Uとする工程で、ひび割れやピンホールを生じやすく、220g/m2を超えた場合には、凹状に変形しにくくなる。さらに、強度的に安定した紙カップとするために、胴部材1に用いるカップ原紙の坪量は、底部材2に用いるカップ原紙の坪量より高いものを用いることが好ましい。
【0017】
最内層の熱可塑性樹脂層に使用する熱可塑性樹脂は、内容物の保護、特に液状の物質を入れても洩れない機能、また、熱シールにより胴部の貼り合わせ、そして胴部材1と底部材2の接着を可能にする機能を持っている必要がある。具体的には、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエステル、ナイロン、エチレンビニルアルコール、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体などが挙げられる。厚さとしては、15〜60μmの範囲が好ましい。これらの熱可塑性樹脂は、押し出し加工あるいはラミネート加工によって、最内層に形成される。
【0018】
例えば、具体的な材料の構成としては、表面側から紙層/ポリエチレン樹脂層、ポリエチレン樹脂層/紙層/ポリエチレン樹脂層、発泡ポリエチレン樹脂層/紙層/ポリエチレン樹脂層、紙層/ポリプロピレン樹脂層、ポリプロピレン樹脂層/紙層/ポリプロピレン樹脂層、紙層/ポリエステル樹脂層、ポリエステル樹脂層/紙層/ポリエステル樹脂層、紙層/ナイロン樹脂層、ナイロン樹脂層/紙層/ナイロン層などが挙げられる。
【0019】
特に、底部材2の材料は、凹凸状に変形する時、変形しやすく、変形時に、ひび割れやピンホールが生じない構成を選定する必要があり、ポリエステル樹脂層、ナイロン樹脂層を有する構成が好ましい。
【0020】
本発明の電子レンジ対応紙カップの用途は、インスタントラーメン、惣菜類などを温める即席食品用の容器、あるいはコーヒー、紅茶、スープなどを温める飲料用の容器として有効である。
【0021】
【実施例】
次に、本発明について実施例をあげて、さらに具体的に説明する。
【0022】
〔実施例〕
胴部材1の材料として、表面からカップ原紙280g/m2/低密度ポリエチレン樹脂μmの構成の材料を使用し、底部材2の材料として、表面からカップ原紙210g/m2/低密度ポリエチレン樹脂25μmの構成の材料を使用した。まず、図3のような胴部ブランク31に打ち抜き、この胴部ブランク31をマンドレルに巻き付け、筒状の胴部材1に形成した。つぎに、一般的な紙カップの成形機で、胴部材1の下方から底部ブランク32を嵌め込み、接着部分を熱風で加熱し、胴部材1の下端を内側に折り返して折り返し部13とした。つづいて、胴部材1の上端を外側にカールしトップカール部12を形成した。作製した紙カップの底面部21をつぎの工程で下方に凹状に変形してU字形状の底面部21Uとして本発明の電子レンジ対応紙カップAを作成した。
【0023】
〔比較例〕
実施例と同一の材料を使用し、紙カップの胴部材1の胴部11の外径、高さなど胴部材1の形状を実施例と同一にし、底部材2の底面部21は平面状である従来の形状で作成した。

本発明の電子レンジ対応紙カップの実施例、そして実施例と同じ外寸法の比較例の紙カップに水200mlを入れ、電子レンジ(NEC社製、電子レンジMC−E2家庭用高周波出力:500W)にて加熱調理を行なった。その結果、実施例においては、紙カップのどの部分にも焦げの発生は見られなかった。一方、比較例においては、加熱調理2分後に糸じり部がやや茶色に変色し、5分後には糸じり部に焦げが発生した。
【0025】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、紙カップの底面の形状が下方に凹状に変形したU字形状であることによって、紙カップの中に、飲料や即席食品などの内容物を入れ、電子レンジで加熱調理した時に、糸じり部に焦げを発生させることのない電子レンジ対応紙カップを得ることができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a paper cup used in a microwave oven.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, paper cups have been widely used for hot beverages and instant foods in vending machines. Moreover, although it is not common, the paper cup containing a drink, a side dish, etc. is also cooked directly using a microwave oven. As shown in FIG. 6, a general paper cup P includes a body member 1 and a bottom member 2, and the body member 1 mainly forms a body portion 11 and curls the upper end outward to form a top curl portion 12. The lower end is folded inward to form a folded portion 13. On the other hand, the bottom member 2 mainly forms a bottom surface portion 21, and the outer peripheral edge portion is bent downward at a substantially right angle to form a bent portion 22. The body member 1 and the bottom member 2 are joined by thermocompression bonding with the bent portion 22 of the bottom member 2 sandwiched between the folded portion 13 of the body member 1 and the lower end portion of the body portion 11. A portion where the bent portion 22 of the bottom member 2 is sandwiched and joined is referred to as a threaded portion Z, and the bottom surface portion 21 is raised to the bottom.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the contents are put into a general-shaped paper cup P and cooked with a microwave oven, there is a problem that the yarn twisting portion Z at the bottom of the paper cup may be burnt. The cause is considered as follows. The cellulose in the paper material pulp basically absorbs microwave microwaves. Therefore, in the yarn twisting portion Z where the paper overlaps, the paper thickness increases and the heat generation amount increases. On the other hand, since the surface area does not change, the amount of heat released is the same, and the generated heat is accumulated, causing the temperature to rise and causing scorching. However, if the contents are present, it is difficult for the burn to occur. This is probably because the heat generated and accumulated in the paper is taken away by the contents. That is, in the normal paper cup P, as shown in FIG. 6, since it has a structure having a threaded portion Z as a joining portion of the body member 1 and the bottom member 2, the threaded portion Z is formed on the front side and the back side. Microwave irradiation from both sides, no contact with the contents, and heat is easily generated, which is likely to cause burns.
[0004]
It is an object of the present invention to provide a paper cup for a microwave oven that does not cause scorching in a yarn-stringing portion when contents such as beverages and instant food are put in the paper cup and cooked with a microwave oven. It is what.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of studying to solve the above-mentioned problems, the microwaveable paper cup of the present invention has a cylindrical barrel, a top curl portion where the upper end of the barrel is bent, and a lower end of the barrel inside. And a bottom member having a bottom surface portion and a bent portion obtained by bending the outer peripheral edge portion of the bottom surface portion, and between the body portion and the folded portion. A paper cup in which a bent portion is sandwiched and joined to each other, wherein the bottom surface portion is formed in a concave shape downward, and the maximum depth is 70% of the width of the folded portion from the upper end of the folded portion of the body member It is the above, and the distance between the lower surface part of the said bottom face part and the lower end surface formed of the lower end of a trunk | drum is less than 8 mm, It is a microwave cup corresponding paper cup characterized by the above-mentioned. Further, the material used for the body member and the bottom member has a structure in which paper is a main strength material and a thermoplastic resin layer is provided in the innermost layer, and the paper has a basis weight in the range of 150 to 300 g / m2. It is characterized by the amount of cup base paper.
[0006]
According to the present invention, since the shape of the bottom portion of the paper cup is concave downward, when the contents such as beverages and instant food are put into the paper cup and cooked in a microwave oven, A paper cup for a microwave oven that does not cause burning can be obtained.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial sectional view of an embodiment of a paper cup for a microwave oven according to the present invention. The microwave oven-compatible paper cup A is composed of a body member 1 and a bottom member 2 as shown in FIG. The body member 1 includes a body part 11, a top curl part 12 with the upper end curled outward, and a folded part 13 with the lower end folded back inside. On the other hand, the bottom member 2 includes a bottom surface portion 21U that is deformed in a concave shape when viewed from the inner surface, and a bent portion 22 that is bent at a substantially right angle to the outer peripheral edge portion. The body member 1 and the bottom member 2 are joined by thermocompression bonding with the bent portion 22 of the bottom member 2 sandwiched between the folded portion 13 of the body member 1 and the lower end portion of the body portion 11.
[0008]
As shown in FIG. 1B, the bottom surface portion 21U has a U shape that is deformed in a concave shape when viewed from the inner surface. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1-c, it has a tray shape including a lower surface portion 21Ua and a wall surface portion 21Ub, the lower surface portion 21Ua is planar, and the wall surface portion 21Ub is close to the folded portion 13 of the body member 1. It is preferable. Further, the maximum depth of the bottom surface portion 21U is desirably 70% or more of the width of the folded portion 13 from the upper end of the folded portion 13 of the body member 1. By setting it to 70% or more, it is possible to block microwave irradiation from the back side of the yarn twisting portion Z in the microwave oven, and to prevent the yarn twisting portion Z from being burnt. If it is less than 70%, there is a risk that the yarn twisting portion Z will burn.
[0009]
The distance x between the lower surface portion 21Ua and the lower end surface X formed by the lower end of the body portion 11 is preferably in the range of less than 8 mm upward and less than 2 mm downward. When the distance x is 8 mm or more upward as shown in FIG. 2A, the effect of shielding the microwave from the back side of the yarn twisting portion Z is lost. Also, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the distance x is 2 mm or more downward, the microwave-compatible paper cup A has a risk of losing stability.
[0010]
Next, a method for producing the microwave oven-compatible paper cup A of the present invention will be described.
[0011]
This microwave-compatible paper cup A is manufactured from a body blank 31 and a bottom blank 32 as shown in FIG. 3, and the manufacturing method can be roughly divided into two methods.
[0012]
In one method, as shown in FIG. 4, a paper cup having the same shape as a general paper cup is first prepared. The paper cup before the deformation of the bottom member 2 can be manufactured in the same manner as a general paper cup by a paper cup molding machine. In general, the body blank 31 is previously punched in the previous process, and the bottom blank 32 is punched on a paper cup molding machine. This is a method in which the paper cup with the bottom surface portion 21 raised is formed into a U-shaped bottom surface portion 21U by deforming the bottom surface portion 21 into a concave shape downward in the next step.
[0013]
In another method, as shown in FIG. 5, the body member 1 and the bottom member 2 are processed in advance in separate steps. Then, in the next step, the cylindrical member 1a and the bottom member 2a having the U-shaped bottom surface portion 21U, the bent portion 22 of the bottom member 1 and the folded portion 13 and the trunk portion 11 of the cylindrical member 1 are used. It is the method of joining by pinching with the lower end part.
[0014]
Next, the material used for the trunk member 1 and the bottom member 2 of the paper cup A for microwave oven according to the present invention is based on the principle that paper is a main strength material and a thermoplastic resin is provided in the innermost layer.
[0015]
As the paper used as the main strength material, it is preferable to use a cup base paper having good suitability for paper cup molding. The basis weight on the paper cup formability, preferably in the range of 150 to 300 g / m 2, in the case of less than 150 g / m 2 is prone to cracking and pinholes at the time of molding, if it exceeds 300 g / m 2 is The formability of the paper cup is deteriorated.
[0016]
The basis weight of the cup base paper used in the bottom member 2 is preferably in the range of 150~220g / m 2, in the case of less than 150 g / m 2, the U-shaped deformed in a concave shape to the bottom portion 21 downward In the step of forming the bottom surface portion 21U, cracks and pinholes are likely to occur, and when exceeding 220 g / m 2 , it is difficult to deform into a concave shape. Furthermore, in order to obtain a strength-stable paper cup, it is preferable that the basis weight of the cup base paper used for the body member 1 is higher than the basis weight of the cup base paper used for the bottom member 2.
[0017]
The thermoplastic resin used for the innermost thermoplastic resin layer has a function of protecting the contents, in particular, a function that does not leak even when a liquid substance is added, and the body part is bonded by heat sealing, and the body member 1 and the bottom member It is necessary to have a function that enables bonding of two. Specific examples include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. As thickness, the range of 15-60 micrometers is preferable. These thermoplastic resins are formed in the innermost layer by extrusion processing or laminating processing.
[0018]
For example, the specific material composition includes paper layer / polyethylene resin layer, polyethylene resin layer / paper layer / polyethylene resin layer, foamed polyethylene resin layer / paper layer / polyethylene resin layer, paper layer / polypropylene resin layer from the surface side. , Polypropylene resin layer / paper layer / polypropylene resin layer, paper layer / polyester resin layer, polyester resin layer / paper layer / polyester resin layer, paper layer / nylon resin layer, nylon resin layer / paper layer / nylon layer, etc. .
[0019]
In particular, the material of the bottom member 2 needs to be selected so that it easily deforms when deformed into an uneven shape, and does not generate cracks or pinholes at the time of deformation, and preferably has a polyester resin layer and a nylon resin layer. .
[0020]
The use of the paper cup for a microwave oven according to the present invention is effective as a container for instant foods for warming instant noodles, side dishes, or a beverage container for warming coffee, tea, soup and the like.
[0021]
【Example】
Next, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.
[0022]
〔Example〕

First, the body blank 31 as shown in FIG. 3 was punched out, and the body blank 31 was wound around a mandrel to form a tubular body member 1. Next, with a general paper cup molding machine, the bottom blank 32 was fitted from below the barrel member 1, the bonded portion was heated with hot air, and the lower end of the barrel member 1 was folded inward to form the folded portion 13. Subsequently, the top curled portion 12 was formed by curling the upper end of the body member 1 outward. In the next step, the bottom portion 21 of the produced paper cup was deformed in a concave shape downward to form a U-shaped bottom portion 21U, thereby producing a paper cup A corresponding to the microwave oven of the present invention.
[0023]
[Comparative example]
The same material as in the embodiment is used, the shape of the body member 1 such as the outer diameter and height of the body portion 11 of the body member 1 of the paper cup is made the same as in the embodiment, and the bottom surface portion 21 of the bottom member 2 is planar. Created in a conventional shape.
