Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND

Beverage bottles are generally fabricated by employing polyester (PET), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) as raw materials, adding corresponding organic solvents and heating at high temperatures, and then being molded through plastic molds by blow molding, extrusion blowing or injection molding. Since plastics are difficult to degrade and have low recycling rates, and thus it is not environmentally friendly. At present, many items begin to use paper environmental protection materials, such as handbags and milk bags. However, there is no precedent of using paper materials to make beverage bottles, but the paper materials are feasible to be used in the production of beverage bottles owing to their hardness and shapability. Therefore, taking paper materials as main production materials of beverage bottles will not only be environmentally friendly and safe, but also achieve more beautiful and grand appearances than plastic bottles, and thus would be loved by more people.

However, a bottle made based on the paper material needs to adhere a layer of film on its inner wall, so that the bottle can still maintain its function after encountering water. An existing film coating equipment for paper pulp bottles has a complex structure and a cumbersome process, resulting in the cost of paper pulp bottles is very high and the manufacturing process is very long, which is not conducive to reducing the cost and thereby it is not conductive to popularization and use.

In some embodiments, in the step S5, a temperature of the hot air blown in by the hot-air blowing pipe is no less than 300 degrees Celsius (° C.).

In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the coating mold for the paper pulp bottle blank may include: a half-mold A (also referred to as first half-mold) a1, a half-mold B (also referred to as second half-mold) a2, a sealing plate A (also referred to as first sealing plate) a3, and a sealing plate B (also referred to as second sealing plate) a4. The half-mold A a1 is mating with the half-mold B a2. It is noted that, in the illustrated embodiment, connections of the half-mold A a1 and the half-mold B a2 with an external mold holder use conventional connections, which are not the focus of the present disclosure, and thus the connection relationships of the half-mold A a1 and the half-mold B a2 with the external mold holder will not be described in detail herein. A side of the half-mold A a1 facing towards the half-mold B a2 is defined with a bottle-receiving cavity A (also referred to as first bottle-receiving cavity), a side of the half-mold B a2 facing towards the half-mold A a1 is defined with a bottle-receiving cavity B (also referred to as second bottle-receiving cavity), and the bottle-receiving cavity A and the bottle-receiving cavity B cooperatively define a coating cavity a9. A shape of the coating cavity a9 is consistent with a shape of the bottle blank to be coated. A sidewall of the coating cavity a9 is defined with a number of air-suction holes a11) evenly arranged at intervals. Another side of the half-mold A a1 facing away from the half-mold B a2 is sealingly connected to the sealing plate A a3, and the sealing plate A a3 and the half-mold A a1 cooperatively define an air-suction cavity A (also referred to as first air-suction cavity) a7. Another side of the half-mold B a2 facing away from the half-mold A a1 is sealingly connected to the sealing plate B a4, and the sealing plate B a4 and the half-mold B a2 cooperatively define an air-suction cavity B (also referred to as second air-suction cavity) a8. An air-suction joint A (also referred to as first air-suction joint) a5 is mounted on the sealing plate A a3 and connected with the air-suction cavity A a7. An air-suction joint B (also referred to as second air-suction joint) a6 is mounted on the sealing plate B a4 and connected with the air-suction cavity B a8.

In some embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the half-mold A a1 and the half-mold B a2 are provided with connection holes all for connecting the air-suction cavity A a7 with the air-suction cavity B a8, so that air pressures in the air-suction cavity A a7 and the air-suction cavity B a8 are the same, and suction forces applied onto the outer wall surface of the bottle blank to be coated are consistent, thereby preventing the bottle blank to be coated from deformation due to inconsistent suction forces.

In some embodiments, an outer wall of the sealing plate A a3 is formed with a recess A (also referred to as first recess) for mounting the air-suction joint A a5, and the air-suction joint A a5 is embedded and mounted into the recess A. The air-suction joint A a5 employs the embedded mounting manner, which makes it easier to ensure the tightness and prevent air leakage in the air-suction cavity A a7.

In some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the air-suction holes a10 are distributed in a rectangular array on the sidewall of the coating cavity a9, to ensure the suction forces on the surface of the bottle blank to be coated are more uniform.

Before introducing a production process of a segmented paper pulp bottle, it is necessary to explain the segmented paper pulp bottle. In particular, the segmented paper pulp bottle includes a bottle upper part blank d1, a bottle lower part blank mating with the bottle upper part blank d1, and an inner coating attached onto inner sides of the bottle upper part blank d1 and the bottle lower part blank. The bottle upper part blank d1 and the bottle lower part blank both can be fabricated by molding. A structure of the bottle upper part blank d1 before being formed with an outer ring-shaped step d11 is shown in FIG. 4 and is a conventional structure, and thus will be repeated herein. However, it should be noted that, a paper pulp bottle cannot be made by blow molding technology, because paper pulp has poor ductility than plastic. The structure and shape of the bottle itself should be that of an object seen every day. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the bottle is divided into two segments from a middle to form the bottle upper part blank d1 and the bottle lower part blank. In order to connect the bottle upper part blank d1 with the bottle lower part blank smoothly, especially the outer sidewall, to achieve an aesthetic effect, connection portions of the bottle upper part blank d1 and the bottle lower part blank need to be treated in a certain way. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the inner sidewall of the bottle lower part blank is provided with an inner ring-shaped step. A wall thickness of the inner ring-shaped step is one half of a thickness of the other portion. Correspondingly, it is needed to dispose an outer ring-shaped step d11 on the outer sidewall of the bottle upper part blank d1, as shown in FIG. 5. A wall thickness of the outer ring-shaped step d11 is one half of a thickness of the other portion, so that when the outer ring-shaped step d11 is fitted into the inner ring-shaped step, a sum of the wall thickness of the outer ring-shaped step d11 and the wall thickness of the inner ring-shaped step may be the same as the thickness of the other portions, thus achieving the purpose of aesthetics. In addition, it should be understood that a cross-section of the segmented paper pulp bottle can be circular or other shapes. In the illustrated embodiment, the cross-section of the segmented paper pulp bottle is circular.

A production process of a segmented paper pulp bottle may include steps (i)˜(iv) as follows.

(i), preparing a bottle upper part blank and a bottle lower part blank individually, an inner wall of the bottle lower part blank being provided with an inner ring-shaped step;

(ii), placing the bottle upper part blank into a recess-processing mold to form an outer ring-shaped step, capable of connecting with the inner ring-shaped step on the bottle lower part blank, on an outer wall of the bottle upper part blank;

(iii), connecting the bottle lower part blank with the bottle upper part blank to obtain a bottle blank, and the outer ring-shaped step mating with the inner ring-shaped step;

(iv), coating the bottle blank through the coating process of a segmented paper pulp bottle blank as described above, to obtain a finished product.

In some embodiments, in the step (iii), during connecting the bottle lower part blank with the bottle upper part blank, a layer of adhesive is coated on a surface of the outer ring-shaped step, and then the outer ring-shaped step is fitted into the inner ring-shaped step. The adhesive should be food grade. Of course, this step can be omitted and it can be fixed by adhesion of an inner film or by other methods. Of course, an automated equipment for applying the layer of adhesive onto the surface of the outer ring step is the prior art and can be used directly, and thus it is not described in detail herein.

In the step (ii), the recess-processing mold may have two embodiments as follows.
