Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of packaging technology, and in particular to an internal circulation shrinkage furnace. Background Art

[0002] Heat shrink film shrinks when exposed to heat, thus tightly wrapping around the product. Based on this characteristic, heat shrink film is widely used in the packaging and transportation of various foods, medicines and daily necessities, and can provide stability, covering and protection for the products.

[0003] On a heat shrink film product packaging line, a heat shrink film is generally first wrapped around the periphery of the product, and then the product is transported to a shrinking furnace for heating via a conveyor belt. The high temperature environment in the shrinking furnace causes the heat shrinkage film to shrink, and then tightly adhere to the periphery of the product. CN203172940U discloses a heat shrink film machine, which utilizes a fan disposed in a hot air furnace to continuously blow hot air from the furnace toward the product to achieve heat shrinkage. However, in this solution, the fan continuously pumps low-temperature air from the environment into the hot air furnace, and the hot air blown onto the surface of the product is directly dissipated into the environment. In addition to being unable to reuse the heated air, resulting in energy waste, it is also difficult to ensure that the temperature of the hot air blown onto the surface of the product can meet the working requirements, affecting the packaging quality.

[0037] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an internal circulation shrinking furnace, comprising:

[0038] The heat-insulating shell 1 has an installation channel formed therein;

[0039] The air cavity inner shell 3 is arranged in the installation channel, a heating air cavity 20 is formed between the thermal insulation shell 1 and the air cavity inner shell 3, a heat shrinkage channel 10 is formed inside the air cavity inner shell 3, and air holes 33 are provided on the side and bottom of the air cavity inner shell 3 to connect the heating air cavity 20 and the heat shrinkage channel 10;

[0040] A heater 6 is provided in the heating air cavity 20 for heating the air;

[0041] The air supply device 5 is provided on the top of the air cavity inner shell 3 and is used to transport the air in the heat shrink channel 10 to the heating air cavity 20, so as to realize the internal circulation of air between the heating air cavity 20 and the heat shrink channel 10;

[0042] The conveying device 4 is used to convey the product into and out of the heat shrink channel 10 .

[0043] Specifically, when the internal circulation shrinkage furnace of this embodiment is working, the air supply device 5 continuously draws the air in the heat shrinkage channel 10 in the air cavity inner shell 3 into the heating air cavity 20 for heating, and the hot air in the heating air cavity 20 enters the heat shrinkage channel 10 through the air holes 33 set on the air cavity inner shell 3, thereby achieving the purpose of continuously supplying hot air to the heat shrinkage channel 10 and maintaining a constant temperature in the heat shrinkage channel 10. The product with the heat shrinkage film is transported to the heat shrinkage channel 10 through the conveying device 4 for heating and shrinkage, and then the product is output from the heat shrinkage channel 10.

[0044] In this solution, air holes 33 are provided on the sides and bottom of the air cavity inner shell 3 at the same time, and the hot air in the heat shrink channel 10 can enter from both sides and the bottom of the heat shrink channel 10 at the same time, ensuring the uniformity of the temperature of the entire heat shrink channel 10, and at the same time achieving the goal of blowing hot air to the product from all directions, so that all positions of the heat shrink film on the product can shrink at the same time, avoiding the occurrence of undesirable phenomena such as wrinkles and uneven shrinkage caused by different shrinkage speeds at different positions of the heat shrink film due to uneven temperature. In addition, the hot air in the heat shrink channel 10 will not be directly dissipated into the environment. The air supply device 5 directly pumps the air in the heat shrink channel 10 back into the heating air cavity 20 for heating, realizing the internal circulation of the hot air in the entire shrinking furnace, reducing heat dissipation, and thus reducing energy waste. At the same time, it is easier to control the temperature in the heat shrink channel 10 at the target temperature. The heat preservation effect of the heat preservation shell 1 can effectively reduce the heat dissipation in the heating air cavity 20, further reducing energy consumption.

[0045] The heater 6 and the air supply device 5 are arranged in the heat-insulating shell 1. When a fault occurs, it is difficult to repair the heater 6 and the air supply device 5. Therefore, this solution takes the following measures to solve this problem:

[0046] The insulation shell 1 includes an insulation upper shell 11 and an insulation base 12. The insulation upper shell 11 can be detachably installed on the insulation base 12. The air cavity inner shell 3 is installed in the insulation upper shell 11 or in the insulation base 12. The heater 6 and the air supply device 5 can be inspected by opening the insulation upper shell 11.

[0047] Specifically, the insulation shell 1 is configured as a detachable insulation upper shell 11 and an insulation base 12. When the internal heater 6 or air supply device 5 needs to be repaired, the insulation upper shell 11 can be directly opened. At this time, the heating air cavity 20 and the heat shrinkage channel 10 are open, and the staff can easily inspect and replace the internal heater 6 and air supply device 5.

[0048] In some embodiments, one side of the insulation upper shell 11 is hinged to the insulation base 12 by a hinge 13, and the other side is connected and fixed to the insulation base 12 by a lock 14. By unlocking the lock 14, the insulation upper shell 11 can be flipped open.

[0049] Specifically, under normal use, the lock 14 locks the insulation upper shell 11 and the insulation base 12, and the insulation upper shell 11 is fixed on the insulation base 12 to ensure the sealing of the insulation shell 1 and avoid air leakage; when maintenance is required, the lock 14 is opened and the insulation upper shell 11 is flipped to the side where the hinge 13 is located, so that the internal components can be repaired. This solution uses a hinge to connect the insulation upper shell 11 and the insulation base 12. When opening the insulation upper shell 11, it is only necessary to simply flip it over, and after the maintenance is completed, the insulation upper shell 11 can be quickly flipped back, which facilitates the rapid opening and closing operation of the insulation upper shell 11. Specifically, compared to disassembling and removing the entire insulation upper shell 11, this method does not require tedious processes such as hoisting and positioning the insulation upper shell 11.

[0050] Furthermore, the internal circulation shrinkage furnace of this solution includes a machine base 2, an insulation base 12 and a conveying device 4 fixedly installed on the machine base 2. After the insulation upper shell 11 is flipped open, the insulation upper shell 11 will not contact the ground and cause impact damage.

[0051] Regarding the structure of the air cavity inner shell 3, refer to Figure 3 The air cavity inner shell 3 includes an air cavity upper shell 31 and an air cavity bottom plate 32. The air cavity upper shell 31 is installed in the thermal insulation upper shell 11, and the air cavity bottom plate 32 is installed on the thermal insulation base 12. By covering the thermal insulation upper shell 11, the two sides of the air cavity upper shell 31 and the two sides of the air cavity bottom plate 32 are joined to enclose and form the air cavity inner shell 3.

[0052] Similarly, the air cavity inner shell 3 adopts a detachable structure. When the heat-insulating upper shell 11 is opened, the air cavity upper shell 31 inside it is opened accordingly, and the air cavity bottom plate 32 is fixed on the heat-insulating base 12. At this time, the air supply device 5 located at the top of the air cavity upper shell 31 is exposed, and the staff can directly inspect the air supply device 5 inside the air cavity upper shell 31. In addition, in normal operation, under the transportation of the conveying device 4, the product passes through the heat shrink channel 10 inside the air cavity inner shell 3, that is, the conveying device 4 must pass through the inside of the air cavity inner shell 3. Specifically, the conveying device 4 must pass above the air cavity bottom plate 32. However, the flipping and opening of the air cavity upper shell 31 of this solution does not drive the movement of the air cavity bottom plate 32. Therefore, when opening the air cavity upper shell 31, there is no need to remove the conveying device 4, which simplifies the disassembly and assembly process for maintenance operations.

[0053] Reference Figure 4The air cavity upper shell 31 comprises a first air cavity side plate 311, an air cavity top plate 313 and a second air cavity side plate 312 connected in sequence to form a U-shaped structure, the first air cavity side plate 311 and the heat preservation upper shell 11 form a first side air cavity 201, the second air cavity side plate 312 and the heat preservation upper shell 11 form a second side air cavity 202, and the heater 6 is arranged in the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202.

[0054] The heater 6 is arranged in the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 respectively, which can ensure that the temperature consistency of the air blown from the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 to the heat shrinkage channel 10 is high, the temperature of the product in the heat shrinkage channel 10 is uniform, the whole heat shrinkage film shrinks synchronously, and the problem of wrinkles caused by different local shrinkage speeds is avoided.

[0055] Specifically, the heater 6 comprises a plurality of heating pipes arranged in the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202, in order to fix the heating pipes, a plurality of fixing clamps are arranged on the inner side wall of the heat preservation upper shell 11, the heating pipes are installed on the fixing clamps, when the heat preservation upper shell 11 is turned over and opened, the fixing screws of the air cavity upper shell 31 can be removed, the air cavity upper shell 31 is taken out from the heat preservation upper shell 11, and then the heating pipes fixed on the inner wall of the heat preservation upper shell 11 can be easily repaired and replaced.

[0056] Referring to Figures 4-5 The air holes 33 are arranged on the air cavity bottom plate 32, the air cavity bottom plate 32 and the heat preservation bottom 12 form a lower air cavity 203, the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 are respectively provided with first air volume adjusting members 7 on the side close to the lower air cavity 203, the air volume between the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 and the lower air cavity 203 is adjusted through the first air volume adjusting members 7, and then the air volume of the air holes 33 on the air cavity bottom plate 32 is adjusted.

[0057] Among them, the two sides of the lower air cavity 203 are respectively connected to the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202. The first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 on both sides can be directly used to provide hot air to the lower air cavity 203, so there is no need to set a heater 6 in the lower air cavity 203. At the same time, in order to facilitate the control of the air volume out of the air holes 33 on the air cavity bottom plate 32 located at the bottom of the product, this solution sets a first air volume adjusting component 7 at the connection between the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 and the lower air cavity 203. The air volume entering the lower air cavity 203 is adjusted by the first air volume adjusting component 7, thereby adjusting the air volume out of the air holes 33 on the air cavity bottom plate 32. In this method, the widths of the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 are relatively small, so the size of the first air volume adjusting component 7 is relatively small. Compared with directly setting the air volume adjusting component on the air cavity bottom plate 32, the structure of this method consumes less materials and has lower cost. At the same time, it will not occupy the space on the air cavity bottom plate 32, thereby avoiding interference with the setting of the conveying device 4.

[0058] Regarding the setting method of the first air volume adjusting component 7, in some embodiments, the first air cavity side panel 311 and the second air cavity side panel 312 are respectively connected to a support plate extending outward and abutting the inner wall of the thermal insulation upper shell 11 on one side close to the air cavity bottom plate 32, and ventilation holes are provided on the support plate. The first air volume adjusting component 7 is movably mounted on the support plate, and a first adjustment hole corresponding to the ventilation hole is provided on the first air volume adjusting component 7. The overlap degree of the first adjustment hole and the ventilation hole is adjusted by moving the first air volume adjusting component 7, thereby adjusting the ventilation volume between the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 and the lower air cavity 203.

[0059] Specifically, the support plate not only plays the role of supporting the first air volume adjusting component 7, but also cooperates with the first air volume adjusting component 7 to realize the air volume adjustment function. The greater the overlap between the first adjustment hole and the ventilation hole, the greater the ventilation volume of the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 to the lower air cavity 203. When the first adjustment hole completely avoids the ventilation hole, the ventilation channel of the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 to the lower air cavity 203 is closed. At this time, no hot air is blown towards the product in the lower air cavity 203.

[0060] Among them, the support plate is preferably formed by directly bending the side ends of the first air cavity side plate 311 and the second air cavity side plate 312 outward through a sheet metal process. There is no fixed connection between the support plate and the insulation shell 1, which facilitates the removal of the entire air cavity upper shell 31 from the insulation upper shell 11.

[0061] In order to adjust the movement of the first air volume adjusting component 7, an adjusting screw can be set at one end of the first air volume adjusting component 7, and a nut that cooperates with the adjusting screw is set on the first air volume adjusting component 7. By rotating the adjusting screw, the first air volume adjusting component 7 can be driven to move linearly.

[0062] Furthermore, the air holes 33 are respectively provided on the first air cavity side panel 311 and the second air cavity side panel 312, and second air volume regulating components 8 are respectively provided on the inner sides of the first air cavity side panel 311 and the second air cavity side panel 312, and the air volumes of the air holes 33 on the first air cavity side panel 311 and the second air cavity side panel 312 are respectively adjusted by the second air volume regulating components 8.

[0063] Similarly, the second air volume adjustment member 8 can be used to adjust the air volume on both sides of the product. This allows operators to freely adjust the air volume on both sides and the bottom of the product according to the heating requirements of each part, thereby controlling the temperature of each side of the product and, in turn, the shrinkage speed of the heat shrink film on each side of the product to meet the packaging requirements of products with different structures.

[0064] The working principle of the second air volume adjusting component 8 is the same as that of the first air volume adjusting component 7. The second air volume adjusting components 8 on both sides are movably installed on the inner side of the first air cavity side panel 311 or the second air cavity side panel 312 respectively. The second air volume adjusting component 8 is provided with a second adjustment hole corresponding to the air hole 33. By moving the second air volume adjusting component 8, the overlap degree of the second adjustment hole and the air hole 33 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the air output of the air hole 33 on the first air cavity side panel 311 and the second air cavity side panel 312.

[0065] Specifically, support brackets are provided on the inner sides of the first and second air chamber side panels 311, 312, respectively. The second air volume adjustment member 8 passes through the support brackets and is movably mounted on the first and second air chamber side panels 311, 312. To adjust the movement of the second air volume adjustment member 8, an adjustment screw is provided at one end of the second air volume adjustment member 8. A nut is provided on the second air volume adjustment member 8 to engage with the adjustment screw. Rotating the adjustment screw drives the second air volume adjustment member 8 to move linearly.

[0066] Reference Figure 6 The air supply device 5 includes a connected air guide ring 52 and a fan 51. The air guide ring 52 is arranged between the air cavity top plate 313 and the thermal insulation upper shell 11. The air cavity top plate 313 is provided with a vent corresponding to the air guide ring 52. The fan 51 draws the air in the heat shrink channel 10 into the air guide ring 52 through the vent. The air guide ring 52 guides the air into the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202.

[0067] Specifically, the arrangement of the air guide ring 52 can smoothly push air into the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 on both sides, thereby promoting internal air circulation. The air guide ring 52 includes an air gathering ring and a plurality of air guide fins connected to the outer periphery of the air gathering ring. The air gathering ring is provided with a plurality of air outlets on both sides facing the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202, respectively. Each air outlet has a corresponding air guide fin on both sides, and all the air guide fins are arranged in a star-shaped pattern. Driven by the fan 51, the air in the heat shrink channel 10 continuously enters the air gathering ring and converges. After the air in the air gathering ring is blown out from the air outlets on both sides thereof, it is continuously diffused into the first side air cavity 201 and the second side air cavity 202 on both sides under the guidance of the air guide fins.

[0068] In some embodiments, the heating air cavity 20 is provided with a middle partition 34 which divides the heating air cavity 20 into a medium-temperature air cavity and a high-temperature air cavity, and the heater 6 includes a first heating tube arranged in the medium-temperature air cavity and a second heating tube arranged in the high-temperature air cavity; the area of ​​the heat shrinkage channel 10 corresponding to the medium-temperature air cavity is a preheating expansion area, and the area corresponding to the high-temperature air cavity is a high-temperature heat shrinkage area.

[0069] Specifically, in existing heat shrink equipment, products wrapped in heat shrink film are typically transported directly into a high-temperature environment for heating and shrinking. However, because the heat shrink film is initially in a relaxed state, it can fold in some areas. When the heat shrink film is directly heated and shrinks as a whole, wrinkles develop in the previously folded areas, affecting the aesthetics of the packaged product. To address this issue, in this embodiment, a preheating expansion zone and a high-temperature shrinking zone are provided within the heat shrinking channel 10. The temperature in the preheating expansion zone has not yet reached the shrinking temperature of the heat shrink film. When the product wrapped in heat shrink film enters the preheating expansion zone, the increased temperature causes the air within the film to expand, causing the film to stretch and expand, eliminating any folds. The product then enters the high-temperature shrinking zone, where the temperature reaches the shrinking temperature of the film. The film then preheats and shrinks, tightly wrapping around the product. The heat shrink film is provided with vents, through which air within the film is discharged during shrinkage. The temperatures of the preheating expansion zone and the high-temperature shrinking zone can be controlled by controlling the power of the first and second heating tubes, respectively.

[0070] Regarding the setting of the conveying device 4, the conveying device 4 includes a conveying mesh belt and two conveying wheels respectively arranged at the two ends of the heating pipe. The two ends of the conveying mesh belt are arranged outside the two conveying wheels, and the upper part of the conveying mesh belt passes through the inside of the heat shrink channel 10, and the lower part is located below the insulation shell 1.

[0071] The conveyor belt has mesh holes, and the hot air blown out from the air holes 33 on the air chamber bottom plate 32 can be blown to the lower surface of the product through the mesh holes. This solution uses a conveyor belt structure to transport products, which has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.
