Description

本発明は、内容物を充填、密封した後の容器内の圧力変化を吸収する減圧吸収構造を底部に備えた合成樹脂製容器に関する。 The present invention relates to a synthetic resin container equipped with a vacuum absorbing structure at the bottom to absorb changes in pressure inside the container after it is filled with contents and sealed.

従来、ポリエチレンテレフタレートなどの熱可塑性樹脂を用いて有底筒状のプリフォームを形成し、次いで、このプリフォームを二軸延伸ブロー成形などによってボトル状に成形してなる合成樹脂製の容器が、各種飲料品、各種調味料等を内容物とする容器として広い分野で利用されている。 Conventionally, synthetic resin containers are made by forming a bottomed cylindrical preform using thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene terephthalate, and then molding this preform into a bottle shape by biaxial stretch blow molding. They are used in a wide range of fields as containers for holding various beverages, seasonings, etc.

また、この種の合成樹脂製容器に内容物を充填するに際しては、加熱滅菌された内容物を高温のまま充填、密封する、いわゆるホットパックも知られている。
ホットパックにより内容物を充填、密封した後、常温に冷却された容器内は減圧状態となるため、ホットパックに供される容器にあっては、一般に、冷却に伴って容器内方に変形して当該容器の容積を減じて内圧の減少分を吸収する減圧吸収パネルが、容器胴部に周方向に沿って複数配設されている(特許文献1参照)。
また、近年では、減圧吸収構造を底部に備えたものも提案されてきている(特許文献2参照)。
In addition, when filling this kind of synthetic resin container with contents, a so-called hot pack is also known, in which heat-sterilized contents are filled and sealed at a high temperature.
After filling and sealing the contents with a hot pack, the inside of the container is cooled to room temperature and the pressure is reduced, so containers used for hot packs generally deform inward as they cool. A plurality of vacuum absorption panels that reduce the volume of the container and absorb the decrease in internal pressure are arranged along the circumferential direction in the container body (see Patent Document 1).
Furthermore, in recent years, devices equipped with a vacuum absorption structure at the bottom have been proposed (see Patent Document 2).

ところで、特許文献2で提案された減圧吸収構造を底部に備えた容器にあっては、底部(5)の底面に、周縁部に周設した接地部(16)の内周端を基端として、減圧時における壜体内部方向への陥没変形が可能に底面壁を形成することで、減圧吸収性能を発揮するようにしている。そして、底面壁を変形可能に形成するために、特許文献2では、接地部(16)の内周端から起立状に周設された陥没周壁部(15)の上端に反転壁部(13)を接続するようにしており、陥没周壁部(15)の内側には径方向に幅狭の空間が存在している。
なお、カッコ内の符号は特許文献2の符号を援用する。
By the way, in the container equipped with the reduced pressure absorption structure in the bottom part proposed in Patent Document 2, there is a base end on the bottom surface of the bottom part (5), with the inner peripheral end of the grounding part (16) provided around the peripheral part as the base end. By forming a bottom wall that can be deformed inward toward the inside of the bottle when the pressure is reduced, it exhibits reduced pressure absorption performance. In order to form the bottom wall deformably, in Patent Document 2, an inverted wall portion (13) is attached to the upper end of a depressed peripheral wall portion (15) that is provided in an upright manner from the inner peripheral end of the ground contact portion (16). A narrow space exists in the radial direction inside the depressed peripheral wall portion (15).
Note that the numbers in parentheses refer to those in Patent Document 2.

このため、例えば、誤って落としてしまった場合など、落下の衝撃によって内圧が瞬間的に高まると、これによって陥没周壁部(15)の内側の空間に押し込まれた内容物により、陥没周壁部(15)が内側から押し広げられて、めくれ上がるように変形し、それにつられるように反転壁部(13)が接地部を超えて膨出してしまう虞があった。このような変形が生じてしまうと、自立不能となって商品価値を著しく損ねてしまう。 Therefore, if the internal pressure increases momentarily due to the impact of the fall, for example, when the item is accidentally dropped, the contents pushed into the space inside the depressed surrounding wall (15) will cause the depressed surrounding wall (15) to 15) is pushed out from the inside and deformed as if it were turned up, and there was a risk that the inverted wall portion (13) would bulge out beyond the ground contact portion as if being pulled by it. If such deformation occurs, it becomes impossible to stand on its own and its commercial value is significantly impaired.

本発明は、上記したような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、内容物を充填、密封した後の容器内の圧力変化を吸収する減圧吸収構造を底部に備えた合成樹脂製容器において、落下などの衝撃による自立不能となるような変形を抑制することができる合成樹脂製容器の提供を目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and is a synthetic resin container equipped with a vacuum absorption structure at the bottom to absorb changes in pressure inside the container after filling and sealing the contents. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin container that can suppress deformation that would make it unable to stand on its own due to impacts such as.

本発明に係る合成樹脂製容器は、内容物を充填、密封した後の容器内の圧力変化を吸収する減圧吸収構造を底部に備えた合成樹脂製容器であって、前記底部が、接地部を含み、周方向に沿って延在する脚部と、前記接地部の内周縁から立ち上がる前記脚部の内側面の上端に、外周縁側が連接された可動底板部とを有し、前記脚部の前記内側面が、傾斜が異なる上下に連なる二つの面によって形成され、前記各面の縦断面が、それぞれ前記内側面の内側に向かって凸となるように湾曲して、前記各面の連接部に環状の稜線部が形成されているとともに、前記各面のうち、前記可動底板部側の面の縦断面における曲率半径が、前記接地部側の面の縦断面における曲率半径よりも大きい構成としてある。 The synthetic resin container according to the present invention is a synthetic resin container that is equipped with a vacuum absorbing structure at the bottom that absorbs pressure changes inside the container after filling and sealing the contents, and the bottom has a grounding part. and a movable bottom plate part whose outer peripheral edge side is connected to the upper end of the inner surface of the leg part rising from the inner peripheral edge of the ground contact part, The inner surface is formed by two vertically connected surfaces having different inclinations, and the vertical cross section of each surface is curved so as to be convex toward the inner side of the inner surface, so that the surfaces are connected. An annular ridgeline portion is formed in the portion, and among the surfaces, the radius of curvature of the surface on the side of the movable bottom plate portion in a longitudinal section is larger than the radius of curvature of the surface on the side of the grounding portion in the longitudinal section. It is as follows.

本発明によれば、内容物を充填、密封した後の容器内の圧力変化を吸収する減圧吸収構造を底部に備えた合成樹脂製容器において、落下などの衝撃による自立不能となるような底部の変形を抑制することができる。 According to the present invention, in a synthetic resin container whose bottom part is equipped with a vacuum absorption structure that absorbs pressure changes inside the container after filling and sealing the contents, the bottom part of the container cannot stand on its own due to impact such as dropping. Deformation can be suppressed.

これらの図に示す容器1は、口部2、肩部3、胴部4、及び底部5を備えており、胴部4が概ね円筒状に形成された、一般に、丸形ボトルと称される容器形状を有している。
また、容器1は、いわゆるホットパックにより内容物を充填、密封した後に、常温に冷却された容器内の圧力減少分を吸収する減圧吸収構造を底部5が備えるが、これについては後述する。
The container 1 shown in these figures has a mouth 2, a shoulder 3, a body 4, and a bottom 5, and the body 4 is generally cylindrical and is generally referred to as a round bottle. It has a container shape.
Furthermore, the bottom portion 5 of the container 1 is provided with a reduced pressure absorption structure that absorbs the pressure decrease in the container cooled to room temperature after being filled with contents and sealed using a so-called hot pack, which will be described later.

このような容器1は、熱可塑性樹脂を使用して射出成形や圧縮成形などにより有底筒状のプリフォームを成形し、このプリフォームを二軸延伸ブロー成形などにより所定の容器形状に成形することによって製造される。 Such a container 1 is made by molding a bottomed cylindrical preform using thermoplastic resin by injection molding, compression molding, etc., and molding this preform into a predetermined container shape by biaxial stretch blow molding, etc. Manufactured by

Specifically, thermoplastic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, amorphous polyarylate, polylactic acid, polyethylene furanoate, or copolymers thereof, blended with these resins or other resins Preferably. In particular, ethylene terephthalate thermoplastic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate are preferably used. Further, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile resin, polypropylene, propylene-ethylene copolymer, polyethylene, etc. can also be used.

口部2は、内容物の注ぎ口となる円筒状の部位である。口部2の開口端側の側面には、図示しない蓋体を打栓によって取り付けることができるように、周方向に沿って環状に突出する篏合部20が設けられているが、蓋体の取り付け手段は、これに限定されない。
このような口部2の下端は、胴部4に向かって円錐台状に拡径して口部2と胴部4との間をつなぐ肩部3に連接している。
The spout 2 is a cylindrical portion that serves as a spout for pouring the contents. A fitting part 20 that protrudes annularly along the circumferential direction is provided on the side surface of the opening end of the mouth part 2 so that a lid (not shown) can be attached by plugging. The attachment means is not limited to this.
The lower end of the mouth 2 has a truncated conical diameter that expands toward the body 4 and is connected to a shoulder 3 that connects the mouth 2 and the body 4.

胴部4は、容器1の高さ方向の大半を占める部位であり、上端が肩部3に連接し、下端が底部5に連接している。
ここで、高さ方向とは、口部2を上にして容器1を水平面に正立させたときに、水平面に直交する方向をいうものとし、この状態(図1に示す状態)で容器1の上下左右及び縦横の方向を規定するものとする。
The body portion 4 is a portion that occupies most of the height of the container 1, and has an upper end connected to the shoulder portion 3 and a lower end connected to the bottom portion 5.
Here, the height direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane when the container 1 is erected on the horizontal plane with the mouth 2 facing upward. shall specify the vertical and horizontal directions as well as the vertical and horizontal directions.

胴部4には、底部5が備える減圧吸収構造の減圧吸収性能を補うために、六面の減圧吸収パネル40が周方向に沿って所定の間隔で配設されている。減圧吸収パネル40の具体的な形態は特に限定されず、底部5が備える減圧吸収構造の減圧吸収性能に応じて、所望の減圧吸収性能が発揮されればよい。 Six vacuum absorption panels 40 are disposed on the body 4 at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction in order to supplement the vacuum absorption performance of the vacuum absorption structure provided in the bottom section 5. The specific form of the vacuum absorption panel 40 is not particularly limited, as long as the desired vacuum absorption performance is exhibited depending on the vacuum absorption performance of the vacuum absorption structure included in the bottom portion 5.

本実施形態では、底部5が備える減圧吸収構造だけでは減圧吸収性能が不足する場合に、減圧吸収パネル40を胴部4に補助的に設けた例を示しており、胴部4に設ける減圧吸収パネル40は、必要に応じて省略することもできる。 In this embodiment, when the vacuum absorption structure provided in the bottom section 5 alone does not have sufficient vacuum absorption performance, a vacuum absorption panel 40 is auxiliarily provided on the trunk section 4. Panel 40 can also be omitted if necessary.

また、胴部4には、その上端側に二条、下端側に一条、それぞれ周方向に沿って環状に延在する周溝部41,42,43が設けられている。これらの周溝部41,42,43は、主に横方向(高さ方向に直交する方向)からの荷重に対する耐荷重強度を高めるために設けられており、必要に応じて省略することもできる。 Further, the body portion 4 is provided with circumferential groove portions 41, 42, and 43, which extend in an annular manner along the circumferential direction, with two grooves on the upper end side and one groove on the lower end side. These circumferential grooves 41, 42, and 43 are provided mainly to increase the load resistance against loads from the lateral direction (direction orthogonal to the height direction), and can be omitted if necessary.

底部5は、容器1を水平面に正立させたときに、当該水平面に接触する接地部51を含み、周方向に沿って環状に延在して容器1を自立可能とする脚部50を有している。接地部51の幅(接地幅)や外径(接地径)は、容器1を安定に自立させることができるように適宜設計することができ、脚部50は、接地部51の外周縁から立ち上がる外側面52を介して胴部4の下端に連接されている。
図示する例において、脚部50の外側面52は、接地部51の外周縁から、容器外方に凸となるように湾曲しながら立ち上がるように形成されているが、脚部50の外側面52は、接地部51の接地径などに応じて適宜設計することができる。
The bottom part 5 includes a grounding part 51 that comes into contact with a horizontal surface when the container 1 is erected on a horizontal surface, and has leg parts 50 that extend annularly along the circumferential direction and allow the container 1 to stand on its own. are doing. The width (ground contact width) and outer diameter (ground contact diameter) of the ground contact portion 51 can be appropriately designed so that the container 1 can stably stand on its own. It is connected to the lower end of the body 4 via the outer surface 52.
In the illustrated example, the outer surface 52 of the leg portion 50 is formed to rise from the outer peripheral edge of the grounding portion 51 while being curved so as to be convex to the outside of the container. can be designed as appropriate depending on the grounding diameter of the grounding portion 51, etc.

また、底部5は、中央部56が平坦な円板状とされ、中央部56の周囲に径方向に沿って容器外方に凸となるように湾曲する湾曲面57が配された可動底板部55を有している。このような可動底板部55は、その外周縁側が、接地部51の内周縁から立ち上がる脚部50の内側面53の上端に連接されて、上げ底状となるように設けられている。
なお、可動底板部55の外周縁側には、特に図示しないが、必要に応じてリブ状の形状などを設けてもよい。
The bottom portion 5 is a movable bottom plate portion in which a central portion 56 is shaped like a flat disk, and a curved surface 57 is arranged around the central portion 56 so as to be convex toward the outside of the container along the radial direction. It has 55. The movable bottom plate part 55 is provided so that its outer peripheral edge side is connected to the upper end of the inner surface 53 of the leg part 50 rising from the inner peripheral edge of the grounding part 51, so that it has a raised bottom shape.
Note that, although not particularly shown in the drawings, a rib-like shape or the like may be provided on the outer peripheral edge side of the movable bottom plate portion 55 as necessary.

このようにすることで、ホットパックにより内容物を充填、密封した後に、容器内の圧力が減少するにつれて、図8中二点鎖線で示すように、可動底板部55が全体的に撓みながら上方に変動することを可能とし、可動底板部55が変動することによって容器内の圧力減少分を吸収する減圧吸収構造が、底部5に備えられる。
なお、図8は、図5に示す端面図の底部5側を拡大して示す要部拡大端面図であり、上動した可動底板部55を二点鎖線で示している。
By doing so, as the pressure inside the container decreases after filling and sealing the contents with the hot pack, the movable bottom plate portion 55 is bent upward as a whole, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The bottom portion 5 is provided with a reduced pressure absorption structure that absorbs a decrease in pressure within the container due to the movement of the movable bottom plate portion 55.
In addition, FIG. 8 is an enlarged end view of the main part showing the bottom part 5 side of the end view shown in FIG.

また、可動底板部55は、変動可能に構成されているため、内容物を充填する際に、その充填圧や内容物の重さによって、図9中二点鎖線で示すように、可動底板部55の全体が撓みながら押し下げられるようにも変動する。このとき、可動底板部55が、接地部51を超えて押し下げられてしまうと、自立性が損なわれ、容器1が転倒してしまう虞がある。このため、脚部50の内側面53は、接地部51から、可動底板部55の外周縁側が連接される上端までの高さ(これを、脚部50の高さと定義する)h50が、可動底板部55の変動に対して十分な高さとなるように適宜設計することができる。
なお、図9は、図5に示す端面図の底部5側を拡大して示す要部拡大端面図であり、押し下げられた可動底板部55を二点鎖線で示している。
Furthermore, since the movable bottom plate portion 55 is configured to be movable, when filling the contents, depending on the filling pressure and the weight of the contents, the movable bottom plate portion It also changes so that the entire part 55 is bent and pushed down. At this time, if the movable bottom plate part 55 is pushed down beyond the grounding part 51, there is a risk that the independence will be impaired and the container 1 will fall. Therefore, the height h 50 of the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 from the grounding portion 51 to the upper end to which the outer peripheral edge side of the movable bottom plate portion 55 is connected (this is defined as the height of the leg portion 50 ) is as follows. The movable bottom plate portion 55 can be appropriately designed to have a sufficient height for fluctuations.
In addition, FIG. 9 is an enlarged end view of the main part showing the bottom part 5 side of the end view shown in FIG.

また、容器1の容量が大きいほど、内容物の重さが増すことから、可動底板部55は、より大きく押し下げられるように変動する。このため、容器1の容量に応じて、脚部50の高さh50を適宜設計することになるが、脚部50の高さh50が比較的低い場合には、例えば、内容物が充填、密封された容器1を誤って落としてしまった場合など、落下の衝撃によって容器内の圧力が瞬間的に高まったときに、これによって脚部50内に押し込まれるように加圧された内容物により、脚部50の内側面53が内側から押し広げられて、めくれ上がるように変形し、それにつられるように可動底板部55が接地部51を超えて膨出してしまう傾向がある。このような変形が生じてしまうと、元の形状には復元困難であり、容器1は自立不能となって、商品価値を著しく損ねてしまう。 Furthermore, as the capacity of the container 1 increases, the weight of the contents increases, so the movable bottom plate portion 55 moves so as to be pushed down more. For this reason, the height h 50 of the legs 50 is appropriately designed depending on the capacity of the container 1, but if the height h 50 of the legs 50 is relatively low, for example, if the contents are When the pressure inside the container increases momentarily due to the impact of the drop, such as when the sealed container 1 is accidentally dropped, the contents are pressurized to be pushed into the legs 50. As a result, the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 is pushed out from the inside and deformed so as to be turned up, and the movable bottom plate portion 55 tends to bulge out beyond the ground contact portion 51 as if being hung thereupon. If such deformation occurs, it is difficult to restore the container to its original shape, and the container 1 becomes unable to stand on its own, significantly reducing its commercial value.

本実施形態にあっては、このような不具合を避けるために、脚部50の内側面53を、傾斜が異なる上下に連なる複数の面(図示する例では二面)53a,53bによって形成し、各面53a,53bの連接部に環状の稜線部53cが接地部51と平行に形成されるようにしている。このような稜線部53cが、脚部50の内側面53を内側から押す力に抗して、脚部50の内側面53が内側から押し広げられ難くなるようにすることを可能にする。
したがって、本実施形態によれば、前述したような落下などの衝撃による自立不能となるような底部5の変形を抑制することができる。
なお、稜線部53cは接地部51と平行に形成するに限らず、例えば、周方向に沿って周期的に接地部51からの高さが変化するように設けるなどしてもよい。
In this embodiment, in order to avoid such a problem, the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 is formed by a plurality of vertically connected surfaces (two surfaces in the illustrated example) 53a and 53b having different inclinations, An annular ridgeline portion 53c is formed parallel to the grounding portion 51 at the connecting portion of each surface 53a, 53b. Such a ridgeline portion 53c makes it possible to resist the force that pushes the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 from the inside, making it difficult for the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 to be pushed apart from the inside.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the bottom portion 5 that would cause the bottom portion 5 to become unable to stand on its own due to an impact such as a drop as described above.
Note that the ridgeline portion 53c is not limited to being formed parallel to the grounding portion 51, but may be provided so that the height from the grounding portion 51 changes periodically along the circumferential direction, for example.

脚部50の内側面53を、傾斜が異なる上下に連なる複数の面によって形成するにあたり、面数が多くなると、落下やホットパック時の内圧上昇に対する強度は向上するものの、変形が生じてしまったときに、元の形状に復元困難な傾向が強まってしまう。このため、脚部50の内側面53を形成する面の数は、変形の生じ難さと、復元性とのバランスとを考慮しつつ、脚部50の高さh50に応じて適宜設計することができるが、脚部50の内側面53を形成する面の数は、図示するように二面とするのが好ましい。 When the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 is formed by a plurality of vertically connected surfaces with different inclinations, as the number of surfaces increases, the strength against increases in internal pressure during drops and hot packs improves, but deformation occurs. In some cases, it becomes increasingly difficult to restore the original shape. For this reason, the number of surfaces forming the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 should be appropriately designed according to the height h50 of the leg portion 50, taking into consideration the balance between difficulty in deformation and restorability. However, it is preferable that the number of surfaces forming the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 is two as shown in the figure.

脚部50の内側面53を形成する各面は、その縦断面が直線状となるように形成してもよいが、図示する例では、脚部50の内側面53を形成する二面53a,53bが、それぞれ内側面53の内側に向かって凸となるように、比較的大きな曲率半径(図示する例ではRa=24mm,Rb=12mm)で緩やかに湾曲して上下に連なっている。これにより、脚部50の内側面53が内側からより押し広げられ難くなるようにしている。 Each surface forming the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 may be formed so that its longitudinal section is linear, but in the illustrated example, two surfaces 53a forming the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50, 53b are gently curved with a relatively large radius of curvature (in the illustrated example, Ra= 24 mm, Rb= 12 mm) so as to be convex toward the inner side of the inner surface 53, and are connected vertically. This makes it more difficult for the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50 to be pushed apart from the inside.

また、脚部50の内側面53を形成する各面は、容器1を水平面に正立させた状態で、縦断面における水平面とのなす角度が45~88°であるのが好ましく、脚部50の内側面53を形成する面を緩やかに湾曲させた場合には、縦断面において、その面の始点と終点とを結ぶ直線と水平面とのなす角度が上記範囲にあるのが好ましい。当該角度がこの範囲に満たないと、落下などの衝撃による変形が生じ易くなる傾向がある。一方、当該角度がこの範囲を超えてしまうと、ブロー成型後の離型工程において、底型の離型不良が発生してしまう傾向がある。 Further, each surface forming the inner side surface 53 of the leg portion 50 preferably has an angle of 45 to 88 degrees with a horizontal plane in a longitudinal section when the container 1 is erected on a horizontal plane. When the surface forming the inner surface 53 is gently curved, it is preferable that the angle between the straight line connecting the starting point and the ending point of the surface and the horizontal plane is within the above range in the longitudinal section. When the angle is less than this range, deformation due to impact such as dropping tends to occur easily. On the other hand, if the angle exceeds this range, mold release failure of the bottom mold tends to occur in the mold release process after blow molding.

また、可動底板部55が、内容物の重さで押し下げられるように変動するのは、前述した通りであり、容器1を密封したときに、内容物の重さで可動底板部55が押し下げられた状態になっていると、減圧吸収に際して可動底板部55が上方に変動可能な範囲が大きくなる。その結果、容器内の圧力減少分をより有効に吸収することができるようになり、減圧吸収性能が向上する。 Furthermore, as described above, the movable bottom plate part 55 moves so as to be pushed down by the weight of the contents, and when the container 1 is sealed, the movable bottom plate part 55 is pushed down by the weight of the contents. In this state, the range in which the movable bottom plate portion 55 can move upward during absorption of reduced pressure increases. As a result, the reduced pressure inside the container can be absorbed more effectively, and the reduced pressure absorption performance is improved.

また、所望の減圧吸収性能を確保しつつ、落下などの衝撃による変形を抑制する上で、可動底板部55の中央部56は、脚部50の内側面53の上端と連接される外周縁側とできるだけ同程度の高さとするのが好ましく、可動底板部55の湾曲面57は、可動底板部55の外周縁から、湾曲面57の最下点までの高さh57が、1.0~4.0mmとなるように、径方向に沿って湾曲しているのが好ましい。高さh57が上記範囲に満たないと、減圧吸収できる容積が少なくなり、所望の減圧吸収性能が発揮されなくなってしまう傾向がある。一方、高さh57が上記範囲を越えると、落下などの衝撃により可動底板部55が接地部51を超えて膨出し易くなってしまう傾向があり、内容物を充填する際に、押し下げられた可動底板部55が接地部51を超えて転倒してしまい易くなる傾向もある。 In addition, in order to suppress deformation due to impact such as dropping while ensuring the desired decompression absorption performance, the center portion 56 of the movable bottom plate portion 55 is connected to the outer peripheral edge side that is connected to the upper end of the inner surface 53 of the leg portion 50. It is preferable that the heights of the curved surface 57 of the movable bottom plate portion 55 are approximately the same, and the height h 57 from the outer peripheral edge of the movable bottom plate portion 55 to the lowest point of the curved surface 57 is 1.0 to 4. It is preferable that it is curved along the radial direction so as to have a diameter of .0 mm. When the height h57 is less than the above range, the volume that can absorb reduced pressure decreases, and the desired reduced pressure absorption performance tends to not be exhibited. On the other hand, if the height h57 exceeds the above range, the movable bottom plate part 55 tends to bulge out beyond the grounding part 51 due to impact such as falling, and when filling with contents, the movable bottom plate part 55 tends to bulge out beyond the ground part 51. There is also a tendency for the movable bottom plate portion 55 to exceed the ground contact portion 51 and easily fall over.

また、可動底板部55が全体的に撓みながら上下に変動する際に、可動底板部55は径方向に引き伸ばされつつ、周方向に沿った長さが縮まるように変形する。このときの周方向に沿った長さの変化を吸収するために、可動底板部55の中央部56の周囲に配された湾曲面57には、径方向に沿って湾曲面57が部分的に***するようにして凹設された、複数の凹溝部58が設けられている。このような凹溝部58を可動底板部55の湾曲面57に設けることによって、可動底板部55の形状復元性を高めることもできる。 Moreover, when the movable bottom plate part 55 moves up and down while being bent as a whole, the movable bottom plate part 55 is deformed so that the length along the circumferential direction is shortened while being stretched in the radial direction. In order to absorb the change in length along the circumferential direction at this time, the curved surface 57 arranged around the center section 56 of the movable bottom plate section 55 has a partially curved surface 57 along the radial direction. A plurality of concave groove portions 58 are provided which are concave in a raised manner. By providing such a groove portion 58 on the curved surface 57 of the movable bottom plate portion 55, the shape restorability of the movable bottom plate portion 55 can also be improved.

可動底板部55の湾曲面57に凹溝部58を設けるにあたり、可動底板部55の均一な変形を確保するために、凹溝部58を周方向に沿って等角度間隔に設けることが考えられるが、隣接する凹溝部58の間隔が狭いと、型番号やロット番号なとの刻印を底面に設けることができなくなってしまう。この点を考慮して、本実施形態では、可動底板部55の均一な変形を確保しつつ、刻印を設けるスペースが確保できるように、等角度間隔(図示する例では45°、好ましくは22.5~90.0°)で基準となる凹溝部58(58a)を偶数配置し、隣接する基準となる凹溝部58(58a)の間に、周方向に沿って一つおきに凹溝部58(58b)を追加するようにして、複数(図示する例では12条、好ましくは6~24条)の凹溝部58を設けている(図3参照)。 When providing the grooves 58 on the curved surface 57 of the movable bottom plate 55, it is conceivable to provide the grooves 58 at equal angular intervals along the circumferential direction in order to ensure uniform deformation of the movable bottom plate 55. If the distance between adjacent grooves 58 is narrow, it becomes impossible to provide a stamp such as a model number or lot number on the bottom surface. In consideration of this point, in this embodiment, uniform deformation of the movable bottom plate portion 55 is ensured, and space for marking is secured at equal angular intervals (45° in the illustrated example, preferably 22°). An even number of reference grooves 58 (58a) are arranged at angles of 5 to 90.0 degrees, and a groove 58 (58a) is arranged every other time along the circumferential direction between adjacent reference grooves 58 (58a). 58b), a plurality (12 in the illustrated example, preferably 6 to 24) of concave grooves 58 are provided (see FIG. 3).

また、凹溝部58は、可動底板部55の外周縁側を始端SEとして、徐々に溝深さを増した後に所定の溝深さで中心側に向かい、中央部56の周縁側に達する終端TEが、所定の溝深さとなるように凹設されている。中央部56の周縁側に位置する終端TEが、所定の溝深さとなって、容器内方に突出するように凹溝部58を設けることによって、容器1をブロー成形する際に、肉厚が厚くなりがちな可動底板部55の中央部56の周縁付近をより延伸させることが可能となり、その分、延伸配向による結晶化度が高まり、耐熱性を向上させることができる。その結果、ホットパック時に中央部56がダレてしまうのを抑制できる。
このように、本実施形態によれば、ブロー成形する際に、底部中央付近をより延伸させることが可能となる。
In addition, the concave groove portion 58 has a starting end SE at the outer peripheral edge side of the movable bottom plate portion 55, and after gradually increasing the groove depth, heads toward the center side at a predetermined groove depth, and has a terminal end TE that reaches the peripheral edge side of the central portion 56. , are recessed so as to have a predetermined groove depth. By providing the concave groove part 58 so that the terminal end TE located on the peripheral edge side of the central part 56 has a predetermined groove depth and projects inward of the container, when the container 1 is blow-molded, the wall thickness can be increased. It becomes possible to further stretch the vicinity of the periphery of the central portion 56 of the movable bottom plate portion 55, which tends to be stretched, and the degree of crystallinity due to the stretching orientation increases accordingly, making it possible to improve heat resistance. As a result, it is possible to prevent the central portion 56 from sagging during hot packing.
As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to further stretch the bottom center region during blow molding.

凹溝部58の終端TEにおける溝深さは、0.5~2.0mmであるのが好ましい。上記範囲に満たないと、延伸が十分ではなく、耐熱性の向上が期待できなくなってしまう傾向がある。一方、上記範囲を超えると、ブロー成型後の離型工程において、底型の離型不良が発生してしまう傾向があり、凹溝部58間の賦形不良が発生し易くなってしまう傾向もある。 The groove depth at the terminal end TE of the concave groove portion 58 is preferably 0.5 to 2.0 mm. If it is less than the above range, the stretching will not be sufficient and there is a tendency that no improvement in heat resistance can be expected. On the other hand, if the above range is exceeded, there is a tendency for a mold release failure of the bottom mold to occur in the mold release process after blow molding, and there is also a tendency for a shaping failure to occur between the concave groove portions 58. .

また、中央部56の周縁側に位置する終端TEが容器内方に突出するように凹溝部58を設けて、中央部56の周縁付近をより延伸させることにより、容器内の圧力減少に応答して可動底板部55が上動し易くなる。さらに、凹溝部58の溝底面が、湾曲面57とは逆に容器内方に凸となるように湾曲していると、可動底板部55の変動を妨げてしまうことが懸念されるが、凹溝部58の終端TEを容器内方に突出させることで、凹溝部58の溝底面が湾曲面57とほぼ平行に湾曲している範囲を広くすることができ、これによっても、容器内の圧力減少に対する応答性を高めることができる。 Further, by providing the concave groove portion 58 so that the terminal end TE located on the peripheral edge side of the central portion 56 protrudes inward of the container, and by extending the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the central portion 56 further, it is possible to respond to a decrease in pressure within the container. This makes it easier for the movable bottom plate portion 55 to move upward. Furthermore, if the groove bottom surface of the concave groove section 58 is curved to be convex inward of the container, contrary to the curved surface 57, there is a concern that movement of the movable bottom plate section 55 will be hindered. By making the terminal end TE of the groove part 58 protrude inward of the container, it is possible to widen the range in which the groove bottom surface of the groove part 58 is curved approximately parallel to the curved surface 57, which also reduces the pressure inside the container. It is possible to improve responsiveness to
