Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To thermally weld hollow-structured corrugated plastic boards together with a sufficient strength without impairing their external appearances. SOLUTION: Under the condition that a hot plate 5 and spacer plates 6 are pinched between corrugated boards so as for the hot plate 5 not to be pressed further than coming into contact with bond areas. After the surfaces of the bond areas are melted, the hot plate 5 and the spacer plates 6 are removed by widening the intervals between the bond areas, the bond areas are brought into close contact with each other so as to bond together through thermal welding. No lowering of the strengths of the corrugated boards develops due to their squeezing with the pressure at heating. Further, merits such as no impairing of the external appearances of the corrugated boards due to the generation of a recess accompanied by heating on the outsides of the corrugated boards and the like result.

However, since corrugated cardboard having a hollow structure tends to be crushed when locally pressurized, it is necessary to disperse and use joints such as studs and staples at a plurality of locations to secure joint strength. It was difficult. Also, metal studs and staples are inconvenient for recycling of used products and disposal of waste materials, while resin studs have a problem in that the cost is increased in terms of work process and strength. Also,
In the thermal welding method, in which the joining surfaces are melted and joined by frictional heat generated by ultrasonic vibration, or the heat welding method in which a heated metal piece is pressed against the outer surface of the cardboard to melt and join the joining surfaces, the pressure applied during heating As a result, the softened joint surface is crushed, and the thickness of the sheet constituting the corrugated cardboard becomes the thinnest at the boundary between the joined portion and the portion that was melted but not joined, resulting in local peeling. When an external force is applied, there is a disadvantage that the portion is relatively easily torn. In addition, since the object to be bonded is a corrugated cardboard having a hollow structure, there is a problem in that when a metal piece for heating or an ultrasonic vibrator is pressed against and heated, a large dent is formed on the outer surface of the corrugated cardboard and the appearance is impaired.

[Effect] In the method for bonding cardboard according to the present invention, since different materials other than cardboard are not used, it is convenient for recycling and waste material treatment of used products. Since no pressure is applied to the joint surface during heating compared to the method of applying heat and welding, there is no danger that the joint surface will be crushed and thinned, strength can be secured more reliably, and appearance is excellent. There are advantages such as. In addition, if there is no spacing plate, the hot plate is pressed against the joint surface, the cardboard melts and the thickness becomes thin, and even if the joint surface melted by thermal expansion and adhesive force after removing the hot plate expands, the original cardboard The swelling is less than that of the surface, and the heat welding is incomplete.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a conventional heat welding joining state by ultrasonic vibration or the like. The contact surface between the lower sheet 1b of the corrugated board 1 and the upper sheet 2a of the corrugated board 2 to be joined is subjected to ultrasonic vibration. It is melted by frictional heat and joined.
Since the method is heat welding while applying pressure from the outer surface of the corrugated cardboard, the boundary between the lower sheet 1b melted by heat and the upper sheet 2a is crushed, and the joined portion is melted but not joined. It becomes the thinnest and causes a decrease in strength. Further, since the bonding surface softened by heat is pressed by the ultrasonic vibrator, a large dent is formed in the cardboard itself.

FIG. 3 shows the first stage of the joining method according to the present invention. First, a hot plate 5 is sandwiched between a corrugated board 1 and a corrugated cardboard 2 to be joined, and the joined face is melted. The spacing plate 6 is for suppressing the pressure so that the hot plate 5 is not pressed more than the contact with the joining surface, and has substantially the same thickness as the hot plate 5 and is in the same plane near the hot plate 5. And is connected to the support 7 so as to interlock with the heating step of the hot plate 5.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4, after slightly widening the distance between the joining surfaces 4, the support plate 7 is operated to remove the hot plate 5 and the space plate 6, so that the melt adheres to the hot plate 5 and follows. The lower sheet 1b is formed by the adhesive force of the resin and the local thermal expansion.
Then, the upper sheet 2a is in a state of being slightly swollen than the surface of the portion not heated. Next, when the melted lower sheet 1b and upper sheet 2a are brought into close contact with each other and thermally welded, the joining is completed. The spacing plate 6 is provided in the vicinity insulated from the hot plate so that heat from the hot plate 5 is not directly transmitted. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a cardboard bonded by the bonding method of the present invention. The bonded surface is not crushed and becomes thin, and the outer surface of the cardboard cannot be dented.

As described above, according to the joining method of the present invention, the spacing plate 6 is sandwiched between the joining surfaces 4 together with the hot plate 5 to melt the surfaces of the joining surfaces, and then temporarily increase the spacing between the joining surfaces. The joining method involves removing the hot plate 5 and the spacing plate 6 and then bringing both joining surfaces 4 into close contact with each other and performing heat welding, so that the joining surfaces are not crushed during heating and the strength is not reduced. In addition, there is an advantage that the outer surface of the corrugated cardboard does not have a dent due to heating and does not impair the appearance.
