Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a vacuum packaging machine. Background Art

[0002] The vacuum packaging machine can automatically extract the air in the packaging bag and complete the sealing process after reaching a predetermined vacuum degree. It can also be filled with nitrogen or other mixed gases to complete the sealing process. Vacuum packaging machines are often used in the food industry because after vacuum packaging, the food can resist oxidation and achieve the purpose of long-term preservation.

[0003] Existing vacuum packaging machines are usually equipped with a frame, a feeding mechanism, a vacuum packaging mechanism and a feeding mechanism. For example, a Chinese invention patent with publication number CN114711380B discloses a two-in-one new bag-feeding vacuum packaging machine, including a chassis, a control panel, a prefabricated bag placement mechanism, a zongzi leaf tray mechanism, a zongzi leaf placement mechanism, a plurality of equally spaced material placement drums, a plurality of equally spaced material clamping mechanisms, a bag clamping rotation mechanism, a liquid injection mechanism, a rotating mechanism and a material discharging crawler. Among them, the vacuum sealing mechanism includes a vacuum box body, a vacuum box body, a support plate, a rotating base, a linear bearing, an air extraction port, a vacuum air pump, an air pipe connection, a sealing ejector rod, a sealing silicone strip, a bag clamping plate, a vacuum pressure gauge, a box cover, an opening and closing push rod and a sealing heating strip, so as to realize continuous feeding, bagging, vacuum packaging and feeding. However, it still has the following defects:

[0004] 1. The unloading crawler is tangent to the rotating track of the rotating mechanism. The packaged bags are flat and the bottom is usually long. When falling, the bottom of the bag is parallel to the movement direction of the unloading crawler. When it contacts the unloading crawler, it will turn to the left or right unpredictably. It is impossible to ensure that all the bags are in the same position on the unloading crawler, which affects the packing efficiency of the subsequent automatic case packing machine.

[0005] 2. There is no locking mechanism to ensure that the bag clamping plate is firmly clamped on the packaging belt. If the items in the packaging bag are heavy, they are easy to fall off. Summary of the invention

[0083] The server provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0084] Embodiment 1:

[0085] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a vacuum packaging machine, including a body 1, a loading mechanism 2, a rotating mechanism 3, a plurality of vacuum packaging mechanisms 4, and also includes a discharge conveyor belt 5, which is installed on the body 1 and one end of which extends out of the body 1; a transfer mechanism 6, which is used to transfer the packaged packaging bags to the discharge conveyor belt 5, and the lower part of the packaging bags moved to the discharge conveyor belt 5 by the transfer mechanism 6 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the discharge conveyor belt 5.

[0086] Furthermore, the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 includes an exhaust cover 401, which can be movably installed on the top of the rotating mechanism 3 through a pair of parallel arms 402; a lower plate 403, which can be flipped and installed in the middle of the rotating mechanism 3 through a hinge 404; an opening and closing device 7, which is used to drive the opening and closing of the exhaust cover 401 and the lower plate 403; and a pair of bag clamping plates 405, which can be flipped and installed on the upper surface of the lower plate 403.

[0087] Furthermore, the transfer mechanism 6 includes a slide rail 601, which is installed above the discharge conveyor belt 5 through a frame 602; a sliding block 603, which can be laterally installed on the slide rail 601 through a straight actuator 604; a suction cup 605, which is installed at the end of the sliding block 603 for grabbing the packaging bag, the slide rail and the discharge conveyor belt 5 are parallel to each other, and the discharge conveyor belt 5 is perpendicular to the lower plate 403 in the discharge position.

[0088] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, the transfer mechanism 6 drives each vacuum packaging mechanism 4 to rotate counterclockwise, the discharge conveyor belt 5 and the loading mechanism 2 are arranged counterclockwise around the transfer mechanism 6, and the vacuum cover 401 and the lower plate 403 of the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 at the corresponding position of the discharge conveyor belt 5 are opened under the cooperation of the opening and closing device 7 and the parallel support arm 402, and the sliding block 603 approaches the lower plate 403 of the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 under the drive of the straight-moving actuator 604. At the same time that the suction cup 605 sucks the packaged bag, a pair of bag clamping plates 405 is opened, and the straight-moving actuator 604 is operated to move the sliding block 603 above the discharge conveyor belt 5. When the packaging bag moves to the top of the discharge conveyor belt 5, the suction cup 605 releases the grip on the packaging bag, and the packaging bag is free It falls to the top of the discharge conveyor belt 5, and at this time, the width direction of its bottom end is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the discharge conveyor belt 5. Therefore, when the packaging bag falls to the top of the discharge conveyor belt 5, the lower end first moves with the discharge conveyor belt 5 away from the machine body 1, and the upper end falls toward the machine body 1. At the same time, the rotating mechanism 3 is activated again to move the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 after the internal packaging bag is unloaded to the corresponding position with the feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 2 loads the unpackaged packaging bag into the vacuum packaging mechanism 4, and a pair of clamping plates clamp the packaging bag at the same time. After the loading of the packaging bag is completed, the transfer mechanism 6 continues to operate. With the cooperation of a pair of parallel supporting arms 402 and the opening and closing device 7, the vacuum cover 401 and the lower plate 403 of the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 are closed to vacuumize and seal the packaging bag inside.

[0089] The straight-moving actuator 604 is a straight-moving air cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder;

[0090] The rotating mechanism 3 includes a support 301, a rotating disk 302, a gear ring 303, a gear 304 and a second driving motor 305. The rotating disk 302 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support 301. The support 301 is rotatably mounted on the top of the body 1. The gear ring 303 is mounted on the outer wall of the support 301. The gear 304 is transmission-connected with the gear ring 303 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second driving motor 305. The second driving motor 305 is fixedly mounted on the body 1.

[0091] A pressure gauge 411 and a negative pressure tube 412 are also provided on the air extraction cover 401 , and a sealing heating strip 413 is also provided on the top surface of the lower plate 403 .

[0092] Embodiment 2:

[0093] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the opening and closing device 7 includes a connecting rod 701, one end of which is hinged to one of the parallel arms 402; a top rod 702, which is movably mounted on the rotating mechanism 3 and hinged to the connecting rod 701 at the top; a swing arm 703, one end of which is hinged to the bottom of the rotating mechanism 3, and the other end is hinged to the bottom of the top rod 702; a linkage device 8, used to make the top rod 702 rise when passing through the transfer mechanism 6 and the feeding mechanism 2.

[0094] Furthermore, the linkage device 8 includes a guide frame 801, which is semicircular and is arranged between the rotating mechanism 3 and the body 1, and is concentric with the rotating mechanism 3; a guide groove 802, which is arranged at the top of the outer wall of the guide frame 801, and includes an ascending section 802a, a retaining section 802b and a descending section 802c; a guide block 803, which is respectively fixedly mounted on the inner wall of each swing arm 703, and the guide block 803 can be slidably matched with the guide groove 802 away from the end of the swing arm 703, and the ascending section 802a, the retaining section 802b and the descending section 802c are arranged in sequence according to the optional direction of the rotating mechanism 3.

[0095] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, the guide frame 801 is arranged between the rotating mechanism 3 and the discharge conveyor belt 5 and the loading mechanism 2. At the same time, the retaining section 802b of the guide groove 802 corresponds to the discharge conveyor belt 5 and the loading mechanism 2. When the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 moves toward the discharge conveyor belt 5, the corresponding guide block 803 enters the rising section 802a. As the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 continues to move, the corresponding guide block 803 slides from the rising section 802a to the retaining section 802b. Correspondingly, the swing arm 703 also swings around its hinge point with the rotating mechanism 3, and the other end pushes the top rod 702 to rise, so that the connecting rod 701 pushes a pair of parallel support arms 402 to lift up, so that the vacuum cover 401 and the lower plate 403 are separated, and the lower plate 403 that loses the pressure of the vacuum cover 401 swings around the corresponding hinge 404, and the outer end The inner end of the air extraction cover 401 rises, causing the upper surface of the lower plate 403 to tilt, and the rotating mechanism 3 continues to move, so that the air extraction cover 401 and the lower plate 403 complete the unloading and loading actions through the unloading conveyor belt 5 and the loading mechanism 2, and the guide block 803 slides from the holding section 802b to the descending section 802c. With the continuous operation of the rotating mechanism 3, the horizontal height of the holding section 802b on the descending section 802c continues to decrease, and accordingly, the swing arm 703 also swings around the hinge point between it and the rotating mechanism 3, and its other end, the top rod 702, the connecting rod 701, a pair of parallel support arms 402 and the air extraction cover 401 all descend under the action of gravity, and the inner end of the descending air extraction cover 401 contacts the inner end of the lower plate 403, driving the inner plate to swing around the hinge 404 until the air extraction cover 401 and the lower plate 403 are closed, and the guide block 803 is separated from the descending section 802c.

[0096] The turntable 302 is provided with a slot (not shown) for the lift rod 702 to be raised and lowered.

[0097] Embodiment 3:

[0098] exist Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the vacuum packaging mechanism 4 also includes a pair of rotating shafts 414, one end of which is fixedly connected to the corresponding bag clamping plates 405, and the other end of which is movably inserted through the lower plate 403 and extends out of the bottom of the lower plate 403; a connecting plate 1 415, the middle of which is fixedly installed on one of the rotating shafts 414; a connecting plate 2 416, which is triangular in shape, and one inner end of which is fixedly installed on the other rotating shaft 414; a linkage arm 417, one end of which is hinged to the inner end of the connecting plate 2 416, and the other end is hinged to the outer end of the connecting plate 2 416; a driving unit 9, which is used to drive the connecting plate 2 416 to rotate around the corresponding rotating shaft 414; a locking unit 10, which is used to lock the connecting plate 2 416 after the driving unit 9 drives the connecting plate 2 416 to rotate.

[0099] Furthermore, it also includes a sleeve 418, which is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lower plate 403 and sleeved on the outside of any rotating shaft 414; a locking cavity 406, which is arranged at the lower end of the rotating shaft 414 corresponding to the sleeve 418; a pair of locking grooves 407, which are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the locking cavity 406; a pair of through grooves 408, which are symmetrically arranged at the top of the inner wall of the locking cavity 406, corresponding to each locking groove 407; a pair of locking blocks 409, which can be movably inserted in the corresponding through grooves 408 and can be plugged into and matched with the corresponding locking grooves 407; a spring 410, which is arranged between the adjacent ends of a pair of locking blocks 409; a locking unit 10, which is used to disengage a pair of locking blocks 409 from the locking grooves 407 when the lower plate 403 moves to correspond to the transfer mechanism 6.

[0100] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when the feeding mechanism 2 moves the packaging bag to the surface of the lower plate 403, the driving unit 9 drives the second connecting plate 416 to swing around the rotating shaft 414 installed on it. At this time, the linkage arm 417 acts at the same time, pulling the connecting plate to swing around the rotating shaft 414 installed on it. At this time, the rotation directions of the pair of rotating shafts 414 are opposite, so that the pair of bag clamping plates 405 swing toward the surface of the lower plate 403. In this process, one of the rotating shafts 414 rotates in the sleeve 418, and the packaging bag is clamped and fixed on the surface of the lower plate 403. At this time, the pair of locking blocks 409 move to the pair of locks. At the position corresponding to the stop groove 407, under the action of the spring 1 410, the outer ends of a pair of locking blocks 409 are inserted into the corresponding locking grooves 407, so that the sleeve 418 and the corresponding rotating shaft 414 are fixed. At the same time, because the rotating shaft 414 cannot rotate, another rotating shaft 414 connected to it through the connecting plate 1 415, the connecting plate 2 416 and the linkage arm 417 cannot swing either, so that before the packaging bag is packaged and moved to the position corresponding to the discharge conveyor belt 5, the pair of bag clamping plates 405 can maintain the clamping force to prevent the packaging bag from being displaced on the surface of the lower plate 403 or even falling off after loading.

[0101] When the vacuum cover 401 and the lower plate 403 are opened and moved to the position corresponding to the discharge conveyor belt 5, the locking unit 10 and the transfer mechanism 6 operate simultaneously. When the transfer mechanism 6 grabs the packaged bag, the locking unit 10 takes effect, causing the pair of locking blocks 409 to move away from the corresponding locking groove 407 until each locking block 409 is disengaged from the corresponding locking groove 407, so that each rotating shaft 414 can rotate, and the pair of bag clamping plates 405 release the clamping of the package bag. The transfer mechanism 6 then operates, and the package bag moves toward the discharge conveyor belt 5. At the same time, the package bag moves the pair of bag clamping plates 405 to rotate each rotating shaft 414. At this time, the pair of locking blocks 409 are misaligned with the corresponding locking groove 407, and then the transfer mechanism 6 transfers the packaged bag to the discharge conveyor belt 5.

[0102] Embodiment 4:

[0103] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the structural features of the aforementioned embodiments, the locking unit 10 includes a lifting plate 1001, which can be lifted and slidably installed in the locking cavity 406; a cover ring 1002, which is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 414; a support block 1013, whose upper end is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 1001, and the lower end is spherical, extending through the ring cover to the outside of the locking cavity 406; a pair of unlocking blocks 1003, whose bottom ends are fixedly installed on the top surface of the lifting plate 1001, and whose top ends are inclined inwardly; a pair of unlocking grooves 1004, which are respectively arranged on the bottom surface of each locking block 409 and have the same shape as the upper end of the corresponding unlocking block 1003; a column 1014, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the body 1, and is located between the rotating mechanism 3 and the transfer mechanism 6.

[0104] Furthermore, the locking unit 10 also includes a pair of anti-loosening grooves 1008, which are arranged at the top of the locking cavity 406 and correspond to each unlocking block 1003 respectively; a pair of anti-loosening columns 1009, which can be slidably installed in the corresponding anti-loosening grooves 1008; a pair of springs 1010, which are respectively arranged between the inner ends of each anti-loosening column 1009 and the inner ends of the corresponding anti-loosening grooves 1008; a pair of through holes 1011, which respectively pass through each locking block 409 up and down, and connect the corresponding anti-loosening grooves 1008 and the unlocking grooves 1004; a pair of unlocking columns 1012, which are slidably installed in the corresponding anti-loosening grooves 1008 and the through holes 1011.

[0105] Furthermore, the locking unit 10 also includes a pair of reset arc grooves 1005, which are symmetrically arranged on the upper side wall of the inner cavity of the sleeve 418; a pair of reset sliders 1006, which are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 414, and respectively slide with the corresponding reset arc grooves 1005; a pair of reset springs 1007, which are respectively installed between each reset arc groove 1005 and the corresponding reset slider 1006, and the reset springs 1007 are squeezed when the corresponding reset slider 1006 rotates clockwise.

[0106] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when the lower plate 403 moves to the position corresponding to the discharge conveyor belt 5, the lower end of the support block 1013 contacts the upper end of the column 1014 and is pushed by the column 1014 to move into the locking cavity 406, and the lifting plate 1001 and a pair of unlocking blocks 1003 rise in the locking cavity 406, and each unlocking block 1003 first pushes the corresponding unlocking column 1012 to rise until each anti-slip column 1009 is pushed into the corresponding anti-loosening groove 1008 by the corresponding unlocking column 1012. At this time, each spring 1010 is compressed and shortened, and the top surface of each unlocking column 1012 is flush with the upper end surface of the corresponding locking block 409, and the lower end is flush with the unlocking groove 1004. At this time, the top of the unlocking block 1003 is flush with the upper end surface of the corresponding locking block 409 When the locking block 409 is in a state of being moved away from the corresponding locking groove 407, the locking block 409 is disengaged from the corresponding locking groove 407. At this time, the second spring 1010 releases its elastic potential energy, so that the pair of reset sliders 1006 rotate in the corresponding reset arc groove 1005. Accordingly, the pair of rotating shafts 414 rotate in opposite directions at the same time under the action of the connecting plate 1 415, the connecting plate 2 416 and the linkage arm 417, so that the pair of bag clamping plates 405 are opened. At this time, the locking blocks 409 are misaligned with the corresponding locking groove 407.

[0107] When unloading is completed and the corresponding lower plate 403 moves toward the upper feeding mechanism 2, the support block 1013 is out of contact with the column 1014. Under the action of gravity, the lifting plate 1001, each unlocking block 1003 and each unlocking column 1012 all descend. At this time, the spring 1 410 releases elastic potential energy, so that the outer ends of a pair of locking blocks 409 abut against the inner wall of the sleeve 418. At this time, under the action of each spring 2 1010, the lower ends of a pair of anti-loosening columns also abut against the top surfaces of the corresponding locking blocks 409.

[0108] When loading is completed, the drive unit 9 operates to drive a pair of rotating shafts 414 to rotate. During this process, a pair of reset sliders 1006 rotate with the corresponding rotating shafts 414, so that each reset spring 1007 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy until a pair of bag clamping plates 405 fix the packaging bag on the upper surface of the lower plate 403. At this time, each locking block 409 corresponds to each locking groove 407. Under the action of spring one 410, the outer end of each locking groove 407 is inserted into the corresponding locking groove 407. Under the action of spring two 1010, the lower end of each relaxation column is also inserted into the corresponding through hole 1011 to complete the fixation of the pair of rotating shafts 414.

[0109] The cover ring 1002 is mounted by welding.

[0113] In this embodiment of the present application, due to the adoption of the above-mentioned structure, when the lower plate 403 moves to the position corresponding to the feeding mechanism 2 and the feeding mechanism 2 moves the packaging bag to the surface of the upper plate, the driving motor 1 runs, the rotating wheel 903 rotates, and the tooth group 1 904 on its peripheral wall cooperates with the rack 902 to push the rack 902 in the direction of the balance wheel 905, and the tooth group 2 906 on the arc side of the balance wheel 905 cooperates with the rack 902, and the balance wheel 905, the pin 909 and the lever 908 rotate clockwise around the circumference of the pin 909, and the lever 908 swings toward the distal end of the connecting plate 2 416, pushing the distal end of the connecting plate 2 416, so that the connecting plate 2 416 drives the rotating shaft 414 installed thereon to rotate, and at the same time, the connecting plate 2 416 pulls the connecting plate 1 415 through the linkage arm 417, so that the rotating shaft 414 connected to the connecting plate 1 415 is also simultaneously The toothed plate 904 is then moved back to the left of the rotating plate 903, and the toothed plate 904 is moved back to the right ...
