[0002] As shown in the bubble pack for at least one gum-type pharmaceutical or food supplement product disclosed in the invention patent application with publication number CN115605172A, the bubble pack usually includes a cover film and a shell, the contents of the package are placed inside the shell, and then the shell is closed by the cover film. Bubble packs are widely used in the fields of medicine, food, cosmetics, etc. They have good sealing performance, can effectively protect the contents from the external environment, and prolong the shelf life of the product. However, when bubble packs are applied to gel food, in order to facilitate assembly line operation and prevent the flowing gel from spilling during transportation, hot filling + immediate sealing is often used. Gel food is filled as a gelatinous fluid, and its volume will shrink after cooling. At this time, a negative pressure is generated, causing the cover film to collapse and deform, and thus causing the heat-sealed part to break. The ways to solve the above problems for jelly and other bubble packs include: (1) using konjac gum, gellan gum, etc. with low shrinkage rate, which will affect the taste and flavor of the food; (2) injecting a small amount of nitrogen gas to balance the air pressure, but the equipment cost is high; (3) extending the heat sealing time to improve the heat sealing strength, but it is easy to appear difficult to tear or unexpected rupture.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown, the gel food blister packaging of this embodiment includes a shell 1. The open end of the shell 1 is provided with a sealing slit 2. The sealing slit 2 extends outward to form a sealing surface 3. The sealing surface 3 is bonded to the cover film 4 by a heat sealing process, so that the shell 1 forms a closed space. The inner edge of the sealing slit 2 of the shell 1 is provided with an inwardly recessed corrugated ring 5, which forms a continuous annular groove 6 on the inner side of the shell 1. The cross-section of the annular groove 6 is U-shaped and the depth is 0.5-1 mm, which transitions the stress concentration point at the sealing slit to the annular groove structure and reduces the risk of hot air failure. The shell 1 is made of polyethylene plastic shell with a wall thickness of 0.15 mm, and the cover film 4 is a polyethylene composite film with a thickness of 100 μm.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] The only difference from Embodiment 1 is that the annular groove 6 has three partitions 7 circumferentially. The partitions 7 are protruding structures arranged radially along the annular groove 6, dividing the annular groove 6 into three independent cavities 8. The cavities 8 are evenly distributed in a 0° circle, and each cavity 8 has an equal volume, avoiding local stress concentration that could lead to deformation of the cover membrane 4 or sealing failure.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] The only difference from Example 1 is that the depth of the annular groove 6 gradually increases along the direction from the shell 1 to the cover membrane 4, forming a sloping structure. The initial depth of the gas storage groove 6 is 0.3 mm, and the final depth is 0.8 mm.

[0031] Example 4

[0032] The difference from the embodiment 1 is that the lid film 4 is provided with a non-heat sealing area 9 at the outer periphery of the sealing surface 3, and the lid films 4 of the plurality of blister packs at the non-heat sealing area 9 are integrally connected through a pre-pressed tear line 10. The lid film at the non-heat sealing area 9 can be separated from the sealing surface, and the user can easily separate the individual blister pack when tearing along the tear line 10. A radially extending groove 11 is provided between the sealing surface 3 and the non-heat sealing area 9, one end of the groove 11 is in communication with the inside of the shell 1, and the other end extends to the edge of the non-heat sealing area 9 but is blocked by the heat sealing area.

[0033] Embodiment 5

[0034] On the basis of the embodiment 1, the contact surface of the lid film 4 and the sealing surface 3 is provided with a dense array of convex points with a diameter of 0.2 mm and a height of 0.05-0.15 mm. The convex point array is formed by mold pressing, and the mold surface is processed with a laser engraving or chemical etching process to form a dense array of pits on the corresponding position of the metal mold (such as stainless steel or aluminum), and the pit shape is complementary to the convex point to increase the friction between the lid film 4 and the sealing surface 3, making the fit after heat sealing more closely, while reducing the risk of accidental peeling.

[0035] The above embodiments preferably use the polyethylene composite film described in the cited invention patent in the background art, which includes a composite layer, a middle layer, and a heat sealing layer arranged in sequence.

[0036] The composite layer has a thickness of 7-10 μm and is made of a 50% HDPE + 20%-30% LLDPE + 10%-20% LDPE melt blend;

[0037] The middle layer has a thickness of 14-20 μm and is made of a 70%-80% HDPE + 20%-30% LDPE melt blend;

[0038] The heat sealing layer has a thickness of 7-10 μm and is made of a 70%-80% HDPE + 10%-15% PB-1 + 5%-10% AC melt blend.

[0039] The composite layer uses a high proportion of HDPE and a low proportion of LLDPE+LDPE to stabilize the film bubble during the blowing process and provide part of the stiffness. The middle layer uses a high proportion of HDPE and a low proportion of LDPE to mainly provide PE stiffness, while increasing the density and crystallinity of the core layer, reducing the amorphous region of the core layer, and reducing the free volume, thereby delaying the migration of the AC component of the heat sealing layer to the composite layer.

[0040] The heat-sealing layer uses high proportion of HDPE and partial PB-1 melt blending, so that HDPE and PB-1 form a complete phase separation island-in-sea structure distribution, and the heat-sealing layer achieves the effect of easy peeling of the heat-sealing mouth; the AC component of the partial proportion of the heat-sealing layer is a blend of monocarboxylic acid (C6-C22) polyglycerol ester and silicate, and due to the existence of the multi-crystal region of the middle layer and the heat-sealing layer, the free volume is very small, and the oil component will preferentially migrate to the surface of the heat-sealing layer, so as to form a very thin diaphragm between the heat-sealing layer and the content, which has a similar effect to "demoulding", and can prevent the gel food from adhering to the surface of the cover film.

[0041] The following is a preparation example of the cover film:

[0042]

[0043] The above only is the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be pointed out, for the ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, under the premise of, can make a number of improvements and refinements, these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
