Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food packaging, in particular to a novel potato chip packaging barrel design. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of potato chip packaging technology, various potato chip packaging barrels have been widely used. However, these products still have some problems in actual use. For example, the potato chip packaging barrels currently on the market usually adopt the traditional fixed structure, and the internal space cannot be effectively adjusted after the potato chips are reduced, causing the potato chips to shake in the packaging barrel and easily break. In addition, when consumers take potato chips, their hands are easily inserted into the packaging barrel, causing potato chip contamination and hygiene problems.

[0003] In order to improve performance, some manufacturers try to solve the above problems by setting a lifting platform in the packaging barrel. However, such improvements often face problems such as complex structure, high manufacturing cost and inconvenience in use.

[0004] After searching, a potato chip barrel-type packaging structure with a publication number of CN108584171B was disclosed, and the publication date was September 27, 2019. This design solves the problems of excessive inner cavity space of potato chip packaging and dirtiness caused by putting hands into the packaging barrel by setting a lifting platform that rises and falls in the axial direction in the packaging barrel, and setting an inner barrel on the lifting platform. Although this design can improve the user experience of potato chip packaging to a certain extent, its structure is complex, the manufacturing cost is high, and the lifting operation of the lifting platform may not be convenient enough, affecting the user experience. In addition, although the easy-tear ring seam design on the inner barrel is convenient for eating, there may be problems with insufficient strength of the easy-tear ring seam or incomplete tearing in actual use, affecting the use effect.

[0005] The above problems show that the potato chip packaging barrels currently on the market are difficult to effectively meet consumers' new requirements for convenience, hygiene and efficient use experience. Therefore, the present invention provides a new potato chip packaging barrel design to overcome these shortcomings and provide a new solution that is more intelligent, efficient and adaptable to changing environments. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a new potato chip packaging barrel design, which aims to solve the problems of existing potato chip packaging barrels such as the inability to effectively adjust the internal space, the fragility of potato chips, easy contamination caused by hands entering, complex structure, high manufacturing cost and inconvenience in use through innovative structural design and material selection.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: a new potato chip packaging barrel, including an outer cover, an outer barrel, a base, an inner barrel, a material tray, a tow rod, a cap, a tow rope and a label paper, the outer barrel is used as the outer structure of the overall packaging, the inner barrel is provided inside the outer barrel, the material tray is provided inside the inner barrel, the material tray is connected to the base through the tow rod, the base is provided with a tow rope and a winding column, the tow rope is connected to the tow rod, and the tow rope is tightened and loosened by rotating the base, thereby driving the lifting and lowering of the material tray. The label paper is fixed on the outer surface of the outer barrel for displaying product information.

[0008] 1. Outer barrel: As the outer structure of the overall packaging, the outer barrel protects the inner barrel from damage by external pressure and maintains its structural integrity. The outer surface of the outer barrel is suitable for printing or posting various product labels. The label paper lists key contents such as brand logo, product name, specifications, ingredient list, nutritional composition table, production date, shelf life, storage conditions and manufacturer information in detail, helping consumers make wise purchasing decisions while also complying with food safety and legal and regulatory requirements.

[0009] 2. Inner barrel: The inner barrel is in direct contact with food (potato chips) and is made of high-standard food-grade materials to ensure product safety and hygiene. The inner barrel is used to store potato chips to prevent them from scattering during transportation. Its design helps the chips to be stacked and shaped to keep the product appearance neat. The inner barrel acts as a secondary protective barrier to further buffer the pressure that may be applied by the outside world and protect the potato chips from being squeezed and deformed.

[0010] 3. Material tray: The material tray uses a carefully designed V-groove structure to guide the potato chips to stack neatly at a certain tilt angle, which improves space utilization and ensures the stability of the potato chips in the package. The material tray also follows the production standards of food-grade materials to ensure that every part that comes into contact with food is safe and harmless.

[0011] 4. Drag rod: The drag rod penetrates the material pallet and bears all the forces when the pallet is lifted or lowered. The drag rod is made of conventional metal materials, which not only ensures sufficient strength and durability, but also controls costs.

[0012] 5. Cap: The main function of the cap is to fix the tow bar to prevent it from falling off or shifting during the lifting process, ensuring the stable operation of the entire lifting system. The cap can be made of ordinary plastic material to meet the needs.

[0013] 6. Traction rope: The traction rope can be extended and retracted through the knob at the bottom, converting manual or mechanical power into the up and down movement of the tow bar, thereby driving the tray and potato chips up and down. The traction rope is made of conventional materials, and its wear resistance and strength ensure smooth and safe operation.

[0014] 7. Base: The base serves as the support and foundation of the entire packaging system. The base integrates key components such as winding columns to manage and store traction ropes and provide power for lifting operations. The base is also equipped with a rotating base, which tightens or loosens the traction rope to achieve lifting and lowering of the material tray.

[0015] 8. Outer cover: The outer cover fits tightly with the outer barrel. Its main function is to seal and preserve the potato chips, preventing air, moisture or external pollutants from entering the package, thereby extending the shelf life of the product and maintaining the taste and flavor of the potato chips.

[0016] 9. Label paper: The label paper is fixed on the outer surface of the outer barrel, and lists in detail key content such as brand logo, product name, specifications, ingredient list, nutritional composition table, production date, shelf life, storage conditions and manufacturer information to help consumers make wise purchasing decisions while also complying with food safety and legal and regulatory requirements.

[0017] The present invention adopts the following technical scheme: the material tray is loaded into the inner barrel, and then the opening at the bottom of the material tray is aligned with the grooves on both sides of the inner barrel, and the roller is inserted into the hole at the bottom of the material tray. After the traction rope is folded in half, one end of the folded end is inserted into the hole of the base winding column and fixed, and the other end (two wire ends) is passed through the round hole at the bottom of the outer barrel to pull out the outer barrel. The two ends of the traction rope that pulls out the outer barrel are respectively inserted into the threading ears of the inner barrel and fixed to the two ends of the metal stick at the bottom of the material tray, and then the two ends of the metal stick are fixed with a clamp to prevent the wire ends from moving or falling off. The assembled inner barrel is placed into the outer barrel, and the corresponding position of the outer barrel is provided with a clamping groove for the inner barrel threading ears. The inner barrel is clamped after the position is aligned. The base is assembled to the bottom of the outer barrel, and the entire assembly process is completed.

[0018] When in use, open the lid, tighten the traction rope by rotating the rotating base at the bottom, so that the material tray moves upward, and the potato chips on the material tray also rise upward, so as to achieve the function of conveniently taking items.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] Use of lifting material tray: Tighten the traction rope by rotating the rotating base at the bottom to make the material tray move upward. Through the carefully designed V-groove structure, guide the potato chips to be neatly stacked at a certain tilt angle, which not only improves the space utilization rate, but also ensures the stability of the potato chips in the package.

[0021] Improved eating convenience and safety: After opening the lid, the material tray in the inner barrel can be raised by rotating the base of the potato chip barrel to achieve the effect of automatic feeding. After the potato chips rise to the barrel mouth, they can be put to the mouth and eaten directly. There is no need to touch the potato chips with your hands to avoid contact with bacteria on your hands. The eating process is safe and hygienic.

[0022] High food safety: The outer barrel, base and outer cover are made of electroplated tin steel sheets, which are corrosion-resistant, non-toxic, odorless, shiny, light, strong, easy to print and process, and highly adaptable to ambient temperature. The inner barrel and material tray are made of food-grade PP material, which is non-toxic, tasteless, odorless, and has good chemical stability and will not cause pollution to food.
