Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of Chinese medicinal material packaging technology, and in particular to a vacuum packaging device for processing Chinese medicinal materials. Background Technology

[0002] Existing vacuum packaging machines for Chinese medicinal herbs have certain defects during use. For example, after pressing multiple placement slots into the lower plastic film, the placement slots tend to change from a concave state to a flat state as the lower plastic film moves forward, affecting the subsequent placement of sliced ​​Chinese medicinal herbs. Also, existing vacuum packaging machines for Chinese medicinal herbs have long waiting times and generally low packaging efficiency during the placement and feeding process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to propose a vacuum packaging device for processing Chinese medicinal materials.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A vacuum packaging device for processing Chinese medicinal materials includes a worktable. Two right-side mounting plates are symmetrically fixed to the upper end of the worktable. A small rotating roller is rotatably arranged between the two right-side mounting plates. Multiple sets of bag-supporting blocks are symmetrically fixed on the outer side wall of the small rotating roller. Both sides of each bag-supporting block are arc-shaped. Multiple air blowing holes are opened on the side of each bag-supporting block away from the small rotating roller. A cavity is opened inside the small rotating roller. Each air blowing hole extends into the cavity. An air supply mechanism is provided on the worktable. A material loading mechanism is provided on the upper end of the worktable.

[0006] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the end of the small rotating roller is provided with an air inlet that penetrates into the cavity. A rotating joint is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the air inlet. A ventilation pipe is connected to one side of the rotating joint. An air pump is fixedly provided inside the workbench. The end of the ventilation pipe is connected to the blowing end of the air pump.

[0007] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the loading mechanism includes two intermediate mounting plates symmetrically fixed on the upper surface of the workbench, a large rotating roller is rotatably arranged between the two intermediate mounting plates, multiple sets of feeding arc frames are symmetrically fixed on the outer side wall of the large rotating roller, a feeder is fixed between the two intermediate mounting plates, a receiving plate is fixed between the two intermediate mounting plates, and multiple guiding components and pushing components are arranged on the receiving plate.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention, each of the material guiding components includes a pad fixed on the upper surface of the receiving plate, a material guiding cover fixed on the side wall of the pad, and a rubber tube fixed on the lower end surface of the material guiding cover, the rubber tube being matched with the size of the feeding arc frame.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the pushing assembly includes multiple U-shaped baffles fixed on the upper surface of each pad, the upper surface of the guide cover is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped baffle, a pushing plate is movably arranged on the upper surface of each pad, multiple cylinders are fixed on the upper surface of the receiving plate, the same connecting plate is fixed at the end of the telescopic end of the multiple cylinders, multiple connecting columns are fixed on the side of the connecting plate away from the cylinders, and the side wall of the pushing plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting column.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a U-shaped plate is fixed on the upper surface of the workbench, and a plurality of triangular guide blocks are fixed on the inner top of the U-shaped plate, with a gap between the bottom of each triangular guide block and the upper surface of the workbench.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, each of the triangular guide blocks is provided with a cavity II, and multiple inclined air blowing holes II are provided on both sides of the triangular guide blocks. A tap is fixed on one side of the U-shaped plate, and multiple ventilation pipes II are connected between the tap and each triangular guide block. A ventilation pipe III is connected to one side of the tap. An air pump II is fixed in the workbench, and the air outlet of the air pump II is connected to the end of the ventilation pipe III.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a lower plastic film molding roller and a lower plastic film conveying roller are rotatably arranged inside the workbench. Two left-side mounting plates are symmetrically fixed on the upper end face of the workbench. An upper plastic film feeding roller is rotatably arranged between the inner walls of the two left-side mounting plates. A vacuum sealer is also fixed between the inner walls of the two left-side mounting plates. A traction roller and a cutter are also rotatably arranged on the upper end face of the workbench.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0014] 1. When the lower plastic film, which has been stretched into multiple placement slots, passes through the small rotating roller, the small rotating roller drives each support bag block to rotate. Each support bag block will enter the corresponding placement slot. At this time, the air blowing hole on each support bag block blows air outward. On the one hand, the stretched placement slot is blown downward to prevent the placement slot from being in a flat state during the transportation process, which would affect the subsequent placement of herbs. On the other hand, it further cools the inner wall of the placement slot, resulting in good performance.

[0015] 2. The large rotating roller rotates intermittently. When the plastic film after being blown by air passes through the large rotating roller, the feeding arc frame near the feeder is in the process of loading. The feeding arc frame above the feeding arc frame is in contact with the placement trough. Then, during the next rotation of the large rotating roller, the feeding arc frame puts the herbs into the placement trough. The placement of herbs can be completed during the movement. The standby time is short and the production efficiency is high.

[0016] 3. The triangular guide blocks guide some of the herbal tablets into the placement slots. For the herbal fragments that fall onto the lower plastic film, the multiple air holes will blow them into the corresponding placement slots to avoid affecting subsequent packaging processes.

[0024] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-6A vacuum packaging device for processing Chinese medicinal materials includes a worktable 1. A lower plastic film molding roller and a lower plastic film conveying roller are rotatably mounted inside the worktable 1. Multiple heating molds are symmetrically fixed on the outer wall of the lower plastic film molding roller. The lower plastic film conveying roller transports the lower plastic film for packaging. Through the lower plastic film molding roller, multiple placement slots are stretched downwards from the upper end of the lower plastic film for later placement of herbs. When the stretched lower plastic film passes through a large rotating roller, herb slices are placed into the corresponding placement slots through a feeding arc frame 9. Two left-side mounting plates 27 are symmetrically fixed on the upper end of the worktable 1. An upper plastic film feeding roller 28 is rotatably arranged between the inner walls of the two left mounting plates 27. When the lower plastic film containing the herbal tablets passes under the upper plastic film feeding roller 28, the upper plastic film for packaging is laid on the upper surface of the original lower plastic film through the upper plastic film feeding roller 28. A vacuum sealer 29 is also fixed between the inner walls of the two left mounting plates 27. When passing through the vacuum sealer 29, the upper plastic film and the lower plastic film are sealed together. A traction roller and a cutter are also rotatably arranged on the upper surface of the worktable 1 to separate the multiple small packages connected together. The above structures are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Two right-side mounting plates 2 are symmetrically fixed to the upper end of the workbench 1. A small rotating roller 3 is rotatably mounted between the two right-side mounting plates 2. A motor 1 that drives the small rotating roller 3 is fixed to the side wall of the right-side mounting plate 2. Multiple sets of support bags 4 are symmetrically fixed to the outer side wall of the small rotating roller 3. Each support bag 4 has an arc shape on both sides. Multiple air blowing holes 5 are opened on the side of each support bag 4 away from the small rotating roller 3. A cavity 1 is opened inside the small rotating roller 3. Each air blowing hole 5 penetrates into the cavity 1. When the lower plastic film with multiple placement slots stretched out passes through the small rotating roller 3, the small rotating roller 3 drives each support bag 4 to rotate. Each support bag 4 will enter the corresponding placement slot. At this time, the air blowing holes 5 on each support bag 4 blow air outward. On the one hand, the stretched placement slot is blown downward to prevent the placement slot from being in a flat state during the conveying process, which would affect the subsequent placement of herbs. On the other hand, it further cools the inner wall of the placement slot, resulting in good performance.

[0027] An air supply mechanism is provided on the workbench 1, and a loading mechanism is provided on the upper surface of the workbench 1. An air inlet is provided at the end of the small rotating roller 3, which extends into the cavity 1. A rotating joint 6 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the air inlet. A ventilation pipe 7 is connected to one side of the rotating joint 6. An air pump 1 is fixedly provided inside the workbench 1. The end of the ventilation pipe 7 is connected to the blowing end of the air pump. Air is supplied into the ventilation pipe 7 through the air pump 1. Air enters the cavity 1 through the ventilation pipe 7 and then blows air into the inner wall of the placement tank through the air blowing hole 5.

[0028] The loading mechanism includes two intermediate mounting plates 8 symmetrically fixed to the upper surface of the workbench 1. A large rotating roller is rotatably mounted between the two intermediate mounting plates 8. A motor 2 for driving the large rotating roller is fixed to the side wall of the intermediate mounting plate 8. Multiple sets of feeding arc frames 9 are symmetrically fixed to the outer side wall of the large rotating roller. A feeder 11 is fixed between the two intermediate mounting plates 8. The feeder 11 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. A receiving plate 12 is fixed between the two intermediate mounting plates 8. Multiple guiding components and pushing components are provided on the receiving plate 12. The large rotating roller rotates intermittently. When the plastic film, after being treated by air blowing, passes through the large rotating roller, the feeding arc frame 9 near the feeder 11 is in the process of loading. The feeding arc frame 9 above the feeding arc frame 9 is in contact with the placement trough. Then, during the next rotation of the large rotating roller, the feeding arc frame 9 puts the herbs into the placement trough. The placement of herbs can be completed during the movement. The standby time is short and the production efficiency is high. Then the plastic film moves backward to the next packaging process.

[0029] Each material guiding assembly includes a pad 13 fixed to the upper surface of the receiving plate 12. A material guiding cover 14 is fixed to the side wall of the pad 13. A rubber tube 15 is fixed to the lower surface of the material guiding cover 14. The size of the rubber tube 15 matches that of the feeding arc frame 9. Each material pushing assembly includes multiple U-shaped baffles 16 fixed to the upper surface of each pad 13. The upper surface of the material guiding cover 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped baffle 16. A material pushing plate 17 is movably arranged on the upper surface of each pad 13. Multiple cylinders 18 are fixed to the upper surface of the receiving plate 12. The same connecting plate 19 is fixed to the end of the telescopic end of the multiple cylinders 18. Multiple connecting posts 20 are fixed to the side of the connecting plate 19 away from the cylinders 18. The side wall of the material pushing plate 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting post 20.

[0030] After the feeder 11 quantitatively dispenses the herbs to be packaged into each U-shaped baffle 16, the telescopic ends of multiple cylinders 18 move, thereby pushing the connecting plate 19 and multiple connecting columns 20 forward, which in turn pushes each pusher plate 17 forward. During this process, each pusher plate 17 pushes the herbs to be packaged forward until the herbs fall into the guide cover 14, are conveyed through the guide cover 14 to the rubber tube 15, and then fall into the feeding arc frame 9. Since the rubber tube 15 has a certain length and can be bent and deformed, the end of the rubber tube 15 can be inserted into the feeding arc frame 9 after the feeding arc frame 9 is rotated to the designated position, so as to prevent the herbs from falling during the transfer process and affecting the use effect.

[0031] A U-shaped plate 21 is fixed to the upper surface of the workbench 1. Multiple triangular guide blocks 22 are fixed to the inner top of the U-shaped plate 21. There is a gap between the bottom of each triangular guide block 22 and the upper surface of the workbench 1. Since the herbs to be packaged are all cut into slices, when some herbs are put into the placement, some herb slices may not be completely placed in the placement, and some herb fragments may not fall completely into the placement. At this time, the triangular guide blocks 22 are used to push some herb slices into the placement groove. For some herb fragments that fall onto the lower plastic film, multiple air holes 23 are used to blow these herb fragments into the corresponding placement, so as to avoid affecting the subsequent packaging process.

[0032] Each triangular guide block 22 has a cavity 2 inside, and multiple inclined air holes 23 are opened on both sides of the triangular guide block 22. A tap 24 is fixed on one side of the U-shaped plate 21. Multiple ventilation pipes 25 are connected between the tap 24 and each triangular guide block 22. A ventilation pipe 3 26 is connected to one side of the tap 24. An air pump 2 is fixed inside the workbench 1. The air outlet of the air pump 2 is connected to the end of the ventilation pipe 3 26.

[0033] When the second air pump is working, it supplies air to the third ventilation pipe 26. The air enters the tap 24 through the third ventilation pipe 26, then enters each cavity 2 through the second ventilation pipe 25, and is then blown away from each blow hole 23, thus completing the cleaning of the herbal powder.

[0034] In use, the lower plastic film conveying roller delivers the lower plastic film for packaging. Through the lower plastic film molding roller, multiple placement slots are stretched downward from the upper end of the lower plastic film. When the lower plastic film with multiple placement slots is stretched and passes through the small rotating roller 3, the small rotating roller 3 drives each bag support block 4 to rotate. Each bag support block 4 will enter the corresponding placement slot. At this time, the air blowing hole 5 on each bag support block 4 blows air outward. On the one hand, the stretched placement slot is blown downward to prevent the placement slot from being in a flat state during the conveying process, which would affect the subsequent placement of herbs. On the other hand, the inner wall of the placement slot is further cooled, resulting in good performance.

[0035] When the plastic film after being blown by air passes through the large rotating roller, the feeding arc frame 9 near the feeder 11 is in the process of loading. The feeding arc frame 9 above the feeding arc frame 9 is in contact with the placement groove. Then, during the next rotation of the large rotating roller, the feeding arc frame 9 puts the herbs into the placement groove. The placement of herbs can be completed during the movement. The standby time is short and the production efficiency is high. Then the plastic film moves backward to the next packaging process.

[0036] Since the herbs to be packaged are all cut and processed into slices, when some herbs are put into the placement box, some herb slices may not be completely placed in the placement box, and some herb fragments may not fall completely into the placement box. At this time, the triangular guide block 22 is set to push some herb slices into the placement box. For the herb fragments that fall onto the lower plastic film, the multiple air blowing holes 23 are set to blow the herb fragments into the corresponding placement box to avoid affecting the subsequent packaging process.

[0037] Then, when the lower plastic film containing the herbal tablets passes under the upper plastic film feeding roller 28, the upper plastic film for packaging is laid on the upper surface of the original lower plastic film through the upper plastic film feeding roller 28. A vacuum sealer 29 is also fixed between the inner walls of the two left mounting plates 27. When passing through the vacuum sealer 29, the upper plastic film and the lower plastic film are sealed together. A traction roller and a cutter are also rotatably installed on the upper surface of the worktable 1 to separate the multiple small packages that are connected together.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
