Definitions
- the invention relates to a can body according to the preamble of claim 1 to a method for producing can bodies according to the preamble of claim 10 and to an apparatus for producing can bodies according to the preamble of claim 13.
- Aerosol can bodies are formed in one or more parts.
- a cylindrical can body is provided by cold extrusion. Subsequently, a valve seat is formed at the open end by upset necking.
- This manufacturing process is very expensive due to the required for the many processing steps and the water and energy requirements for cleaning and drying.
- US Pat. No. 4,095,544 and EP 0 666 124 A1 describe the production of seam-free steel cans.
- the cylindrical can body is produced by means of stamping, pressing and ironing out of a tin or plastic-coated steel sheet. It has been found that enormous problems occur when forming a narrowed can neck, because the material structure is changed or hardened by the stretching.
- can bodies made of sheet steel, in which the shell has a longitudinal weld.
- the bottom and the upper end are fastened to the can jacket via seam connections.
- seaming joints sealing problems can occur, which are reduced approximately with sealing rings.
- frontally arranged seals problems In the usual extremely thin-walled cans arise with frontally arranged seals problems.
- WO 05/000498 discloses a solution in which a can bottom is fastened to a laser seam on the bottom end side on a can jacket closed with a pushed laser longitudinal seam.
- a narrowing is formed.
- a form roller is pressed against the rotating can jacket from the outside.
- a support edge is arranged, which cooperates with the forming roller during the narrowing and is moved in the direction of the upper end side.
- a closing element with a valve seat is welded firmly.
- the upper end of the can jacket is narrowed by upset necking or spin-flow necking, whereby this restriction can be carried out until the valve seat is formed.
- the valve seat is formed by the outwardly formed can end, wherein the valve seat in a sectional plane which comprises the can longitudinal axis is substantially circular.
- the free end extends from the inside to the outside and from the outside back against the outside of the narrowed can jacket.
- the valve seat is a so-called outward curl, or an outward edge curl.
- a solution is known in which a can jacket is pressed radially outwards onto an inner mold with a longitudinal laser seam for shaping. At the lower end of the can jacket a can bottom is welded firmly. On the upper end side, a terminating element with valve seat is arranged with a laser seam.
- a constriction process such as Stitch Necking or Spinning Flow Necking is performed. This constriction can be carried out until the formation of the valve seat.
- the illustrated embodiments show outward curls, and outward edge curls, respectively.
- the present invention has for its object to find a solution with the stable and tight cans can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.
- the metallic layer of the can jacket, the metallic layer of the termination part and the laser connection between these layers only have to ensure the stability of the can.
- the tightness can be achieved by a coherent inner coating or plastic material in the laser connections, wherein the plastic material is tightly connected to the two parts.
- Another advantage of such a circular laser connection with a number of narrow connection areas is that it can be performed by means of a laser scanner device. That is, the laser beam is guided, for example, by mirror movements along the connecting line, whereby the laser is alternately transmitted or interrupted and fertilize and break accordingly. Due to the possibility of scanning, turning the can past the exit point of the laser can be dispensed with. Also, the laser exit head does not have to be moved along the connection line.
- the welded connection is carried out with welding areas interrupted in the direction of contact, in particular with punctiform welded areas.
- Such a broken weld joint can also be advantageously used to attach the can bottom to the can jacket.
- the round cross section of the can shell is formed at the mounting area of the can bottom with a small pressure, or by crushing, into an oval-shaped free cross-section.
- the opening cross-section increases in a first direction and decreases in the second direction perpendicular thereto.
- the can jacket is formed with a formed valve seat by a radially expanding pressing step on an inner mold, wherein the inner mold preferably corresponds to a desired final shape of the can jacket.
- the inner mold may have any of the cylindrical shape deviating shapes and decorative structures.
- the valve seat and held over this the can jacket during pressing in the inner mold.
- the valve seat is not expanded.
- the free end of the can jacket assigned to the bottom of the can is placed on the outer mold only after insertion of the can bottom.
- This procedure is possible at all doses, in the production of a can jacket is connected to a bottom of the can.
- a rolling method is preferably used. In this case, a rotating roller is moved relative to the can jacket around its circumference.
- the desired constriction contour for the constriction of the can jacket is formed.
- the can jacket is pressed tightly against the contact area of the bottom of the can.
- the end face of the can bottom lies in the inside of the can or on the inside of the can and the end face of the can jacket outside the can jacket or on the outside of the can. If the outside of the can jacket is provided with a decor, the decor extends down to substantially the floor space.
- the box is therefore aesthetically appealing and stands out from cans in which the curvature of a cylindrical jacket to the bottom of the can is not provided with a decor.
- the laser circumferential seam primarily fulfills the task of stably bonding the can jacket to the bottom of the can. Even with a dose of internal pressure required for aerosol cans, the seam must not burst. It has been shown that a stable connection, which is not tight with certainty, is achieved with significantly less effort than an absolutely dense laser peripheral seam. This is because the laser peripheral seam is very narrow, for example substantially 0.15mm wide. If there is little contamination on one of the parts to be joined in the region of the seam, then there is an explosive evaporation of contamination components, in particular of grease or oil components, during welding. At these points, there may be brief breaks in the laser circumferential seam.
- the can bottoms are preferably fabricated at another production site, optionally with a lubricant manufacturing or molding process, contaminants from manufacturing or transportation can hardly be completely eliminated with reasonable effort.
- the plastic material along the laser peripheral seam can be placed on the bottom of the can as ring or plate with ring edge, sprayed on with a nozzle or also be built up in an injection molding step on the bottom of the can.
- a heat-bonding step achieves a tight connection of the ring to the can jacket and optionally to the bottom of the can on both sides of the laser peripheral seam.
- the sealing plastic material along the laser peripheral seam between bottom of the can and can jacket is then used particularly advantageously when the can jacket has a plastic layer inside, in the form of a coating or preferably a foil.
- a can bottom with a plastic inner layer facing the can interior, projecting along the radially outer edge against the can interior and upwardly over the metallic edge region of the can bottom, can be inserted into the cylindrical can shell with the plastic inner layer. After insertion, a radially outer contact region of the plastic layer of the can bottom bears against the inner layer of the can jacket.
- the bottom of the can has a slightly larger outside radius than the passage opening of the narrowed region. If the round cross-section of the can jacket is deformed into an oval cross-section at the attachment area of the can bottom with a small pressure, or by means of squeezing, the opening width increases. ing cross section in a first direction and decreases in the perpendicular thereto second direction. The can bottom is tilted to the plane of the oval opening slightly about an axis that is substantially parallel to the first direction, and then inserted into the interior of the can jacket. After insertion, it is tilted back and pressed against the constriction from the inside. In the overlap area, the can bottom can be fixed to the can jacket with a laser connection. With ring-shaped or disk-shaped plastic material inside along the laser connection, a continuous and dense inner coating can be achieved.
- the end portion of the can jacket can be formed with a forming step to a shoulder-shaped contact surface of the can bottom and fixed with a laser circumferential seam.
- the plastic layer of the can bottom is connected in the contact region to the inner layer of the can jacket with this.
- the plastic layer of the can bottom optionally comprises sealing material at least in the region of the desired connection.
- the heat treatment step is optionally carried out prior to the forming step, so that the can bottom already adheres to the can jacket during forming.
- the can bottom If it is to be dispensed with a transformation of the can jacket at the bottom of the can after insertion, it can be formed on the can jacket a ringnutförmiger receiving area for a corresponding outwardly projecting Kantakt Scheme the can bottom.
- the bottom of the can should be pressed from the outside or down against the can jacket, so that the Kantakt Scheme the can bottom passes into the receiving area of the can jacket and is held therein.
- the end face of the can bottom lies in the inside of the can or on the inside of the can and the end face of the can jacket outside the can jacket or on the outside of the can.
- the cross-section of the can jacket against the top little increases and then again.
- the lower cross-sectional constriction must be very small, so that the bottom of the can with the maximum outside diameter can be pressed into the interior of the can jacket.
- the jacket area When pressed in, the jacket area will expand slightly at the lower cross-sectional constriction and / or the bottom of the can will narrow slightly at the maximum outside diameter.
- the laser peripheral seam is formed in a circular closed manner along the shoulder regions which are pressed against one another. After the narrowed shoulder region, the diameter of the can jacket increases again. From the outside of the can jacket at the shoulder area and directly above a recess groove can be seen.
- the contact area of the bottom of the can is inserted into the interior of the can jacket.
- the thickness of the can bottom is usually chosen slightly larger than the thickness of the can jacket.
- the shoulder area of the bottom of the can is somewhat more dimensionally stable than the shoulder area of the can jacket.
- An optimal press fit is achieved when the more stable shoulder area is pressed from the inside against the slightly less stable shoulder area. If necessary, the outer shoulder area is somewhat stretched in the circumferential direction, but the inner and more stable shoulder area is not deformed or compressed. If the can jacket were on the inside and the more stable bottom of the can, compressive creases could form in the can jacket due to the pressing force, which would prevent a dense circumferential laser seam.
- the bottom of the can is coated on the inside and provided with a meltable sealing bead.
- the can jacket is coated on the inside with a film, wherein the shoulder area for the connection to the bottom of the can has no coating.
- the bottom of the can has no coating on its outside facing away from the inside of the can, at least in the shoulder region.
- the laser peripheral seam is now formed between directly adjacent metallic region of the can jacket and the bottom of the can.
- the meltable sealing bead is heated and made to flow and then solidified that the material of the sealing bead a complete connection between the inner coatings of the can jacket and of the can bottom.
- an outer bottom cover preferably in the form of a plastic bottom, at the bottom can fixed.
- the bottom cover extends slightly from the bottom of the can along the can wall, it can engage the recessed groove directly above the laser perimeter seam.
- the bottom cover covers the lower front side of the can jacket and the laser circumferential seam.
- the bottom cover at the recess groove is tightly connected to the can jacket and the can wall comprises an outer foil, the metallic layer of the can jacket and the can bottom are sealed to the outside and oxidation problems can be eliminated. Because the bottom cover preferably spans the entire bottom of the can, can be dispensed with an external coating of the bottom of the can.
- the various processing steps can be performed on turntables, but this is relatively complex due to the synchronized transfers and tuned to the can diameter holding and transfer elements.
- the required throughputs can also be achieved advantageously with solutions in which a plurality of linear processing lines are provided in parallel. Dust areas can be provided in front of the individual processing stations, of which the partially assembled can bodies are guided into the parallel processing lines. If the production of cans with a first one is changed over to cans with a second diameter, then with parallel linear processing lines only a few elements have to be adapted to the changed diameter.
- a laser connection between the metallic layers occurs in an overlapping region of the closure part and the can jacket along a connecting line the can jacket and the end part formed.
- the laser connection includes many interruptions along the connecting line or a plurality of narrow areas in which the two metallic layers are fused together.

- the second possibility of merging is that the upper end part 56 is brought into contact with the can sheath 3 in the overlapping area 53 on the can jacket 3 (right side), whereby the two parts to be joined can each be pressed against each other from the outside.
- the can jacket 3 and the upper end part 56 are formed in the overlapping area so that the outer contour corresponds to a desired beverage can shape.
- the plastic material required for sealing in the laser connection is formed by an inner coating or inner foil 3b of the can jacket 3, wherein the inner foil 3b or the inner coating lies in the overlapping area between the can jacket 3 and the upper closure part 56 lies.
- the inner film 3b or the inner coating is tightly connected both to the upper end part 56 and to the can jacket 3 in the overlapping area or in the laser connection, a heat treatment is preferably carried out in the overlapping area.
- the inner film 3b or the inner coating in the overlapping region comprises a sealing layer facing the upper closing part 56.
- the plastic material required for sealing in the laser connection is formed by an inner coating 58 or inner film of the upper end part 56, with the inner coating 58 or the inner film lying in the overlapping area between the can jacket 3 and the upper end part 56 , so that the inner coating 58 is tightly connected both to the upper end part 56 and to the can jacket 3 in the overlapping area or in the laser connection, a heat treatment is preferably carried out in the overlapping area.
- the inner coating in the overlapping region 53 comprises a sealing layer facing the can jacket 3.
- the inner foil 3b or the inner coating 58 goes away from the center of the laser beam and the two metallic layers connect without disturbance via the bolt-shaped solidified melt areas 39.
- the inner foil 3b or the inner coating 58 form one in the circumferential direction in the overlapping area continuous seal. It goes without saying that the tightness can also be achieved or increased by plastic material connected to the inner film 3b and the inner coating 58 arranged on the inner side of the can and analogously to the embodiments according to FIGS. 1c and 4a.
- an end face of one of the two parts connected to one another is to be coated inside the can. Accordingly, on the left side, a radially outer end face 56 c of the upper end part 56 is coated. On the According to the guide on the right side, an end face 3 c is coated at the free end of the can jacket 3.
