The surface of the movable shaft 6a is movably sleeved with a rotating swing arm 7a. The rotating swing arm 7a is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the vacuum cover 2a. The inner wall of the fixed seat is movably connected with a rotating shaft 8a. The vacuum cover 2a is movably sleeved on the surface of the rotating shaft 8a. There are two cylinder fixing arms 3a, and the number of Airtac cylinders 5a and rotating shafts 8a corresponding to each cylinder fixing arm 3a is also two.

[0003] However, the existing vacuum packaging machines have the following technical problems: the flip-cover structure requires a complex flip-cover mechanism, which includes a cylinder fixed arm 3a, an axle seat 4a, a connecting shaft, an Airtac cylinder 5a, a movable shaft 6a, a rotating swing arm 7a, and a rotating shaft 8a, and needs to be set on both the left and right sides. Therefore, the overall structure is very complex and not compact enough; in addition, the flip-cover mechanism is equipped with multiple electric drive components, which consumes a lot of power and requires an external power supply with a line to work, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a vacuum packaging machine with a simple and compact overall structure and low power consumption.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: a vacuum packaging machine, including a shell, and a control panel, a vacuum assembly and a sealing assembly arranged in the shell, characterized in that: a slot is provided on one side of the shell, the vacuum assembly includes an upper half cavity provided in the shell and located above the slot, and a lower half cavity located below the slot, the upper half cavity and the lower half cavity are both open on one side near the slot and can be connected up and down to form a closed first vacuum cavity, and also includes a lifting assembly connected to the upper half cavity, the lifting assembly includes a second vacuum cavity, the first half cavity is provided with a plurality of holes, and the upper half cavity is provided with a plurality of holes. A movable plate that can move up and down is sealed and embedded in the top of the two vacuum chambers. An elastic reset device is provided between the bottom of the movable plate and the bottom of the second vacuum chamber. The upper half cavity is connected to the movable plate and is used to close or separate from the lower half cavity as the movable plate rises and falls. The second vacuum chamber is connected to the first vacuum chamber through a first pipe. The second vacuum chamber is connected to the vacuum pump. A switch valve is provided on the first pipe. One of the upper half cavity and the lower half cavity is provided with an openable and closable deflation device. The vacuum pump, switch valve and sealing assembly are all electrically connected to the control board.

[0006] The working principle of the vacuum packaging machine of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] When not working, the upper half cavity is separated from the lower half cavity; when working, the bag mouth of the packaging bag is placed on the slot of the shell, the switch valve is closed, the vacuum pump is started, the pressure in the second vacuum chamber drops, and the external atmospheric pressure pushes the movable plate downward. At the same time, the upper half cavity follows the movable plate to drop and dock with the lower half cavity to form a closed first vacuum chamber. After docking, the upper half cavity and the lower half cavity press the bag mouth of the packaging bag tightly, open the switch valve, and vacuum is drawn through the first vacuum chamber to remove all the air in the packaging bag. Then, the vacuum pump is turned off, and the bag mouth is sealed with the sealing assembly. Then, the venting device is opened, and the first vacuum chamber gradually restores to atmospheric pressure, and the second vacuum chamber connected to it also gradually restores to atmospheric pressure. At this time, the movable plate is pushed upward under the action of the elastic reset device, and then drives the upper half cavity to rise with the movable plate and separate from the lower half cavity, so that the packaging bag with the sealed bag mouth can be taken out.

[0008] After adopting the above structure, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0009] The vacuum packaging machine of the present invention does not need to be provided with a flip cover structure.

[0010] Preferably, the device further includes a motor disposed within the housing, wherein the sealing assembly includes a heating wheel disposed within the housing and positioned at the slot. The motor is connected to the vacuum assembly via a first, detachable transmission mechanism. When the upper cavity is pressed against the lower cavity, the motor engages the first transmission mechanism to drive the vacuum assembly to move linearly along the length of the slot. The motor is further connected to the heating wheel via a second transmission mechanism to drive the heating wheel to rotate and heat the bag opening through which it moves, thereby heat-sealing it. The motor and heating wheel are both electrically connected to a control panel. The movable vacuum assembly is configured to move synchronously with the bag when the heating wheel rotates and drives the bag to roll, thereby ensuring a good seal at the bag opening and a good vacuum level.

This arrangement can achieve a better heat sealing effect of the heating wheel.

[0033] Preferably, in step (4), a pressure detection device disposed in the second vacuum chamber is used to detect whether the vacuuming is complete. When the pressure detection device detects that the pressure in the second vacuum chamber is lower than a second set value, the vacuuming is complete.
