This application is a 371 of international application of PCT application serial No. PCT/CN2022/124117, filed on Oct. 9, 2022, which claims the priority benefit of China application no. 202110913894.3, filed on Aug. 10, 2021. The entirety of each of the above-mentioned patent applications is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
The invention relates to the field of plastic film bag packaging, and in particular to a long tube plastic film bag for garbage cans and a packaging method thereof, and a packaging mold.
Taking out the garbage is a relatively frequent action in people's lives. Some frequently repeated actions in the process of using the garbage can, such as packaging and changing bags, seem cumbersome and annoying to modern people living a fast-paced life. Therefore, there are many automatic garbage cans on the market that may automatically pack and seal, and automatically change bags.
Since the long tube plastic film bag of annular packaging has its own opening, it is convenient to implement automatic bag feeding and the long tube plastic film bag is used in automatic garbage cans for automatic packaging and sealing of plastic film bags and automatic bag changing. This type of automatic garbage can usually contain a garbage bag storage device, with a flip cover at the upper portion of the garbage bag storage device, a garbage bag sealing device at the lower portion of the garbage bag storage device, and a barrel body below the sealing device.
The more common long tube plastic film bags on the market usually involve packaging an annular long tube plastic film bag in one annular plastic box. When used, the annular plastic box may simply be put into the garbage bag storage bin of the automatic garbage can. Generally, long tube plastic film bags of several meters to more than ten meters may be squeezed and placed in this annular plastic box. For example, authorization announcement numbers CN 208453666 U and CN 210012171 U both implement the function of providing garbage bags for the garbage can by mounting a garbage bag box on the storage rack and placing the garbage bag in the garbage box. However, in this long tube plastic film bag packaging method, in order to have sufficient rigidity, the wall thickness of the annular plastic box is greater, and the plastic used in the box is heavier, usually heavier than the total weight of the plastic film bags contained therein, and, considering the cost of recycling, this annular plastic box is usually single-use. After the plastic film bag in the annular plastic box is used up, the annular plastic box is thrown away. Therefore, the disadvantages thereof are:
In order to solve the above technical issues, one of the objects of the invention is to provide a long tube plastic film bag. The plastic film bag has simple packaging and low raw material cost; is compressible, takes up little space and reduces logistics costs; moreover, the effective storage capacity of the long tube plastic film bag body may be increased, and more long tube plastic film bag bodies may be held at one time, reducing the frequency of replacing long tube plastic film bags, thus improving user experience; the second object is to provide a packaging method for the long tube plastic film bag; the third object is to provide a packaging mold used in the long tube plastic film bag packaging method; and the fourth object is to provide a garbage can that may use the long tube plastic film bag.

A long tube plastic film bag for a garbage can as shown in
In this way, the long tube plastic film bag in the invention is a soft-packaged, and by using the film tube material 1 as the packaging container of the long tube plastic film bag body 3, the packaging is simple, the packaging container consumption is small, and the container material cost is low; since the film tube material 1 is soft, the film tube material imay be flattened and packaged for transportation, taking up little space and reducing logistics costs; moreover, the film tube material 1 takes up little space, and with the same volume of the garbage bag storage device of the garbage can, the effective volume of storing the long tube plastic film bag body 3 is increased. More long tube plastic film bag bodies 3 may be loaded at one time, and the frequency of replacing long tube plastic film bags is reduced, thus improving user experience. When the film tube material 1 is a paper film tube material, the packaging container has no environmental pollution; when the film tube material 1 is a plastic film tube material, the impact on the environment is also slight due to the small use amount and light weight.
Preferably, the connecting line 4 is formed by hot melting, bonding, or sewing the first opening 11 of the film tube material 1, the long tube plastic film bag body 3, and the second opening 12 of the film tube material 1. The connecting line 4 may be in the shape of a closed loop formed by sequentially connecting the first opening 11 of the film tube material 1, the long tube plastic film bag body 3, and the second opening 12 of the film tube material 1, and may also be in a linear shape formed by sealing and connecting the first opening 11, the second opening 12, and the long tube plastic film bag body 3 of the film tube material 1.

As shown in
The connecting line 4 is linear and is formed by a hot melting or bonding method. The connecting line 4 is the sealing end 32 and is also the first bag bottom of the long tube plastic film bag body 3. In order to facilitate the use of the soft-packaged long tube plastic film bag, the connecting line 4 is provided with a first easy-tearing line 5 below the side of the first opening 11 of the film tube material 1. The first opening 11 side of the film tube material 1 is provided with the first easy-tearing line 5 below the connecting line 4. During use, the entire soft-packaged continuous long tube plastic film bag is stuffed into the second groove 94 of the garbage can 9, the first easy-tearing line 5 is torn off, and the cover plate 95 is closed. Then, via a manual or automatic method, the first bag bottom of the long tube plastic film bag body 3 is loaded into the garbage can 9, and the rest is the same as in Embodiment 1. In this way, when the entire film tube material 1 is pulled out from the second groove 94, the film tube material 1 enters the garbage can together with the first bag bottom of the long tube plastic film bag body 3, and the bag entry resistance is greater. Compared with Embodiment 1, since the connecting wire 4 is linear, this method is simpler compared with the annular connecting wire and the hot melting or bonding method. Moreover, the connecting line 4 is the first bag bottom 32 of the long tube plastic film bag body 3, and the steps are simple and practicability is good.
