[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vacuum sealing devices, and more specifically, to a vacuum sealing device and method for food packaging bags. Background Art

[0005] The current vacuum packaging devices still have the following problems: 1. When performing heat sealing for vacuum packaging, different thicknesses of packaging bags require different pressing amounts of the heat sealing press head. Since the packaging bags are relatively thin, it is not convenient for manual precise adjustment of the pressing depth, which will affect the heat sealing effect and further affect the packaging sealing performance.
[0006] 2. When removing the air extraction pipe from the bag mouth after vacuum pumping, there will be a situation where air flows back into the bag through the gap, which will affect the vacuum degree inside the bag. At the same time, when the air extraction pipe is pulled out, there will be a problem of bag mouth wrinkles, which will affect the sealing effect.

The shaping component on the roller frame rotates to shape the packaging bag, and the sealing component seals the bag mouth position; S5. Discharging: After sealing, the movable cover opens upward, the clamping jaws rotate in the reverse direction and lose the ability to fix the packaging bag. At this time, the packaging bag falls onto the conveyor belt below.

[0021] 2. An extrusion oil cavity is provided on the heat-sealing press head of this device. When the extrusion oil cavity is extruded, it can drive the active block to move upward, thereby causing the connection block to move upward and cut off the oil supply pipeline, so that the heat-sealing press head no longer continues to move. It has the function of fixed-pressure fixation. Regardless of the thickness of the packaging bag, when the pressure reaches, the oil circuit can be cut off to maintain the heat-sealing state of the packaging bag, improving the pressure constancy during heat-sealing.
[0022] 3. With the coordinated setting of the pressure sensor and the electromagnet in this device, when the thickness of the packaging bag becomes thinner, the reduced pressure can drive the electromagnet to act, causing the side hydraulic cylinder to retract into the storage cavity, and it can be separated from the packaging bag in time after heat-sealing, avoiding the situation of overheat-sealing, and having the effect of improving the heat-sealing effect.
[0023] 4.

Detailed implementation manners
[0027] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention, that is, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0028] By Figures 1 to 11Given, including a rotary table main body 100 and clamping components arranged in an equidistant array on the rotary table. The rotary table main body 100 is a rotary device in the form of a turntable, with a rotary drive device installed inside. Through rotation, it can drive the processing stations above to rotate, so as to carry out continuous work at different stations, and is widely used in automated equipment. This is an existing device and will not be elaborated too much here. The clamping component includes a fixed cover 101 and a movable cover 102 that cooperate with each other. Opposite sides inside the fixed cover 101 and the movable cover 102 are both connected with a clamping frame 103 and a sealing frame 104 located above the clamping frame 103. When the movable cover 102 covers the fixed cover 101, the internal clamping frame 103 and the sealing frame 104 can be kept symmetrical and located on both sides of the packaging bag. An oval air extraction pipe 105 is arranged inside the fixed cover 101. Compared with a circular air extraction pipe 105, the oval air extraction pipe 105 can avoid excessive deformation of the packaging bag when the sealing frame 104 clamps the packaging bag, that is, the parts of the packaging bag at the three intersection positions of the air extraction pipe 105 and the symmetrical sealing frame 104. The air extraction pipe 105 is externally connected to a negative pressure device, and the air inside the packaging bag is pumped out through the negative pressure device. A receiving groove 106 matching the air extraction pipe 105 is opened on the symmetrical sealing frame 104. A sealing strip 107 is connected to the sealing frame 104. Refer to Figure 3, and the sealing strip 107 is in the shape of a long opening; When performing vacuum air extraction on the packaging bag, due to the too large bag opening, air leakage is likely to occur on both sides or locally of the bag opening during air extraction. The following provides a structure for reducing the air extraction area: Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a first receiving cavity 108 is opened inside the sealing frame 104, and second receiving cavities 109 are located at both ends of the first receiving cavity 108. The first receiving cavity 108 and the second receiving cavities 109 are on the same horizontal plane. The second receiving cavity 109 is in the shape of a parallelogram, and a corner facing the first receiving cavity 108 overlaps with the first receiving cavity 108. A side heat-sealing component is slidably connected inside the second receiving cavity 109. Refer to Figure 4 , when the side heat-sealing component extends out of the second receiving cavity 109, part of the structure will enter the area of the first receiving cavity 108. However, it should be noted that even when extending out, it is located on both sides of the air extraction pipe 105 and will not come into contact with the packaging at the air extraction pipe 105; Since the shape of the packaging bag opening is changed when the air extraction pipe 105 is inserted into the packaging bag, wrinkles will be caused at the extraction position when the air extraction pipe 105 is pulled out. The following provides a structure for shaping the extraction position to make it flat: Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4, a lifting hydraulic rod 110 is connected inside the first accommodation cavity 108. The lifting hydraulic rod 110 moves up and down synchronously with the air extraction pipe 105. The output end of the lifting hydraulic rod 110 is connected to an extension oil cylinder 111. The output end of the extension oil cylinder 111 is connected to a roller frame 112. The extension oil cylinder 111 is used to press the roller frame 112 against the packaging bag. A sealing component and a shaping component located above the sealing component are connected to the roller frame 112. The sealing component and the shaping component are externally connected to a rotation driving device. Specifically, the shaping component rotates upward to flatten the packaging bag upward, and the sealing component rotates downward at the same speed as the upward movement of the roller frame 112, so that the position in contact with the packaging bag during heat sealing remains relatively stationary.
[0029] Since the second accommodation cavity 109 is in the shape of a parallelogram, a structure that can push the side heat sealing component to move parallelly is required to keep the side heat sealing component parallel to the packaging bag. Otherwise, the sealing may not be tight. The following provides a structure to keep it parallel: Specifically, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the side heat sealing component includes a heat sealing press head 201 and a side hydraulic cylinder. The heat sealing press head 201 is a device for heat sealing and pressing the packaging bag, also known as a heat sealing strip, heat sealing head, heat sealing knife, heating strip, etc. Preferably, it is a heat sealing knife. The axis direction of the side hydraulic cylinder is parallel to the second accommodation cavity 109, so that when the heat sealing press head 201 extends, it can also be parallel to the packaging bag. The side hydraulic cylinder includes a sleeve 202 and a protruding rod 203 located inside the sleeve 202. One end of the sleeve 202 is connected to the second accommodation cavity 109. When the protruding rod 203 extends out of the sleeve 202, it can push the heat sealing press head 201 to press on the packaging bag. The end of the protruding rod 203 away from the sleeve 202 is connected to the heat sealing press head 201. A first oil pipeline 204 and a second oil pipeline 205 are provided inside the protruding rod 203. By switching the flow direction of the hydraulic oil inside the first oil pipeline 204 and the second oil pipeline 205, the extension and retraction of the side hydraulic cylinder can be controlled. One end of the protruding rod 203 located inside the sleeve 202 is connected to a first piston plate 206. One end of the first oil pipeline 204 is located on the outer wall of the protruding rod 203 near one end of the first piston plate 206, and one end of the second oil pipeline 205 is located at the end of the protruding rod 203 near the first piston plate 206. Referring to Figure 5 , when hydraulic oil is input into the first oil pipeline 204, the protruding rod 203 will retract into the sleeve 202. When hydraulic oil is input into the second oil pipeline 205, the protruding rod 203 will extend out of the sleeve 202; When the heat sealing press head 201 presses on the package, it needs to be maintained for a certain period of time to enable sufficient heat transfer and improve the sealing effect. The following provides a structure to keep the heat sealing press head 201 in the pressed state: Referring to Figure 6, one end of the heat-sealing press head 201 close to the extending rod 203 is connected with a fixed platform 207. One end of the fixed platform 207 is connected to the extending rod 203. The first oil pipeline 204 and the second oil pipeline 205 pass through the inside of the fixed platform 207. A first sliding cavity 208 is formed inside the fixed platform 207. A communicating block 209 is slidably connected up and down in the first sliding cavity 208. The communicating block 209 slides up and down in the first sliding cavity 208. Through holes matching the first oil pipeline 204 and the second oil pipeline 205 are formed inside the communicating block 209. Specifically, through holes are provided in the upper part of the communicating block 209 and not in the lower part. When the communicating block 209 moves to the top, the lower part will block the first oil pipeline 204 and the second oil pipeline 205, blocking the oil path and causing the side hydraulic cylinder not to extend further. The top of the communicating block 209 is externally connected to a lifting driving device. The first oil pipeline 204 and the second oil pipeline 205 are externally connected to an oil supply device. When the externally connected lifting driving device connected to the top of the communicating block 209 acts, it will drive the communicating block 209 to move upward, thereby cutting off the first oil pipeline 204 and the second oil pipeline 205 and keeping the side hydraulic cylinder in the extended state.
[0030] Since the thickness of each packaging bag is different, different pressure states are required, otherwise the state of the heat-sealing thickness of the packaging will be affected. The following provides a structure for automatically stopping the extension amount according to the pressure: Specifically, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , a fixed block 210 and a moving block 211 are provided between the heat-sealing press head 201 and the extending rod 203. The fixed block 210 is connected to the extending rod 203. The moving block 211 is connected to the heat-sealing press head 201. The moving block 211 is slidably connected inside the fixed block 210. When the heat-sealing press head 201 presses on the packaging bag, the moving block 211 will be pressed into the fixed block 210. An extrusion oil cavity 212 is provided between the fixed block 210 and the moving block 211. The extrusion oil cavity 212 is filled with hydraulic oil. When the hydraulic oil is extruded, it will enter the second sliding cavity 213, thereby pushing the second piston plate 219 to move upward; The communicating block 209 needs to be driven by an externally connected lifting driving device to move its position, which requires back-and-forth control and is very troublesome. The following provides a structure that can automatically drive the communicating block 209 to act: Refer to Figure 6, a second sliding cavity 213 and a third sliding cavity 214 are formed inside the connecting block 209. The second sliding cavity 213 and the third sliding cavity 214 are vertically arranged. The bottom of the extrusion oil cavity 212 is communicated with the second sliding cavity 213, so that hydraulic oil can enter the second sliding cavity 213. An active block 215 is slidably connected up and down in the second sliding cavity 213, and a driven block 216 is slidably connected horizontally in the third sliding cavity 214. An obliquely arranged sliding groove 217 is formed on the active block 215, and a pin shaft located in the sliding groove 217 is connected to the driven block 216. Specifically, when the active block 215 moves upward, the driven block 216 will be pushed toward one end away from the connecting block 209 through the sliding of the driven block 216 in the sliding groove 217, so that the driven block 216 of the connecting block 209 is separated from the connecting block 209, losing the control effect on the connecting block 209. An inclined surface part 218 is arranged at one end of the driven block 216 close to the connecting block 209. When the connecting block 209 moves downward from the top, it will be pushed into the third sliding cavity 214 through the inclined surface part 218, and then the connecting block 209 moves to the bottom. A groove for accommodating the inclined surface part 218 is formed on the connecting block 209. The top of the connecting block 209 and the first sliding cavity 208 are connected by a spring. When the connecting block 209 moves to the bottom, the inclined surface part 218 on one side of the driven block 216 is inserted into the groove on the connecting block 209, playing a limiting role on the connecting block 209; The active block 215 needs a driving structure to move it upward, and the control of the driving device is very cumbersome. The following provides a structure that can drive its movement according to the internal pressure of the extrusion oil cavity 212, and can also adapt to packages of different thicknesses: Refer to Figure 6 , a second piston plate 219 is slidably connected to the bottom of the second sliding cavity 213. When the extrusion oil cavity 212 is squeezed, the internal space will become smaller, and the hydraulic oil will enter the second sliding cavity 213, thereby pushing the second piston plate 219 to move upward. The second piston plate 219 and the extrusion oil cavity 212 are connected by a spring. When the internal hydraulic oil is not squeezed, the spring drives the second piston plate 219 to reset, pulling the hydraulic oil back into the extrusion oil cavity 212. A lengthened rod 220 in contact with the second piston plate 219 is connected to the bottom of the active block 215. Therefore, the lengthened rod 220 is arranged at the bottom of the active block 215. When the second piston plate 219 moves upward, it will push the active block 215 to move through the lengthened rod 220. The driven block 216 and the third sliding cavity 214 are connected by a spring. The top of the active block 215 and the second sliding cavity 213 are connected by a spring. The spring has a reset function.
[0031] After heat sealing is completed, the heat-sealing press head 201 needs to be separated from the packaging bag in a timely manner. Otherwise, overheat sealing of the package will occur, which will affect the sealing performance. The following provides a structure that enables the heat-sealing press head 201 to be separated from the heat-sealed package in a timely manner: Specifically, refer to Figure 5 , a pressure sensor is connected to the inner wall of the extrusion oil chamber 212. The pressure sensor is used to accurately detect the change state of the hydraulic oil. Since the thickness of the packaging bag gradually becomes thinner during heat sealing, the pressure in the extrusion oil chamber 212 will decrease at this time, and the pressure sensor can detect it. The pressure sensor is a device that can sense the change of external pressure and convert it into an electrical signal. This is an existing device and will not be elaborated here. A storage chamber 302 coaxial with the side hydraulic cylinder is opened inside the clamping frame 103. The sleeve 202 is located in the storage chamber 302, and the side hydraulic cylinder can be stored in the storage chamber 302. A fourth sliding chamber 303 is opened on the side wall of the storage chamber 302. A positioning block 304 is slidably connected in the fourth sliding chamber 303. The positioning block 304 and the fourth sliding chamber 303 are connected by a spring. Specifically, the spring is in a stretched state and is used to pull the sleeve 202 into the storage chamber 302. A groove matching the positioning block 304 is opened on the sleeve 202. When the positioning block 304 is inserted into the groove on the sleeve 202, it can be fixed on the storage chamber 302. An electromagnet 305 is connected to the inner wall of the fourth sliding chamber 303. A permanent magnet matching the electromagnet 305 is connected to the positioning block 304. When the electromagnet 305 is energized, the positioning block 304 is pulled back into the fourth sliding chamber 303 through the permanent magnet, so that the positioning block 304 loses its fixing effect on the sleeve 202. The electromagnet 305 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor. When the pressure in the extrusion oil chamber 212 decreases, the pressure sensor controls the electromagnet 305 to act, so that the side hydraulic cylinder is pulled into the storage chamber 302. At this time, the heat-sealing press head 201 will be separated from the packaging bag in a timely manner, avoiding overheat sealing; Specifically, after the side hydraulic cylinder is pulled into the storage chamber 302, it needs to be reset to facilitate the next heat-sealing operation. The following provides a structure for resetting the sleeve 202 and at the same time resetting the connecting block 209: Refer to Figure 5, a reset bracket 306 is connected inside the second accommodation cavity 109. The reset bracket 306 is arranged in two sections, respectively supporting the fixed block 210 from both sides. The top of the connecting block 209 is connected with a reset rod 307. A convex portion 301 matched with the reset rod 307 is connected on the reset bracket 306. When the side hydraulic cylinder is pulled into the accommodation cavity 302, the side hydraulic cylinder will drive the fixed block 210 to move together. At this time, the reset rod 307 on the connecting block 209 will come into contact with the convex portion 301, and thus be pressed into the first sliding cavity 208, driving the connecting block 209 to move to the bottom of the first sliding cavity 208, and the driven block 216 extends out and is fixed, thus completing the reset. At the same time, the fixed block 210 will also come into contact with the reset bracket 306. As the side hydraulic cylinder continues to shorten, the sleeve 202 located in the accommodation cavity 302 will be pulled outwards. When it moves to the position of the fourth sliding cavity 303, the positioning block 304 extends out of the fourth sliding cavity 303 under the action of the spring and inserts into the groove, playing a role in fixing the sleeve 202 and completing the reset action.
[0032] When the air extraction pipe 105 is pulled out upwards, wrinkles will appear at the position where the packaging bag mouth is pulled out. The following provides a structure for flattening the packaging bag: Specifically, refer to Figure 8 , the shaping component includes a central column 501 and an anti-slip sleeve 502 sleeved on the central column 501. One end of the central column 501 is fixed on the roller frame 112. The anti-slip sleeve 502 is rotatably connected to the central column 501. One end of the central column 501 is fixedly connected to the roller frame 112. One end of the anti-slip sleeve 502 is rotatably connected to the roller frame 112. The anti-slip sleeve 502 is driven to rotate by an external driving device. An air suction groove 503 is opened inside the central column 501. Specifically, the air suction groove 503 is located at the position of the central column 501 facing the packaging bag, so that only the position in contact with the packaging bag has suction force, improving the connection ability between the anti-slip sleeve 502 and the packaging bag. One end of the central column 501 is externally connected to a negative pressure device. The air suction groove 503 is communicated with the negative pressure device. The anti-slip sleeve 502 is equidistantly provided with air inlet holes matched with the air suction groove 503. Specifically, the packaging bag is adsorbed by negative pressure. Since the anti-slip sleeve 502 is in a rotating state, that is, rotating upwards, the packaging bag can be flattened upwards, facilitating heat sealing by the following heat sealing roller 401, and improving the connection ability with the packaging bag through the negative pressure device.
[0033] The sealing component includes a heat-sealing roller 401 and distance-measuring cylinders 402 connected to both ends of the heat-sealing roller 401. The heat-sealing roller 401 is a drum-shaped heating device used for heat-sealing packages, also known as a drum-type heat-sealing machine or a roller heat-sealer. This device is designed with one or more heated drums or rollers, and continuous heat-sealing operations can be achieved when materials pass between these heated drums or rollers. The drum-type heat-sealing machine is particularly suitable for sealing flexible materials such as plastic films and aluminum foils, and is widely used in fields such as food packaging and pharmaceutical product packaging. This is an existing device and will not be elaborated here. The distance-measuring cylinder 402 is rotatably connected to the roller frame 112. The distance-measuring cylinder 402 comes into contact with the already laminated position on the packaging bag, makes contact with the packaging bag through friction, and synchronously drives the heat-sealing roller 401 to rotate, avoiding slippage during heat-sealing; Specifically, the sealing strip 107 is in a square shape. When the air extraction is completed and the air extraction pipe 105 is moved upward and pulled out, the sealing part at the bottom will fail. At this time, the sealing strip 107 at the top plays a sealing role. After the extension oil cylinder 111 pushes the roller frame 112 to press on the packaging bag, heat-sealing will be performed on the middle position of the packaging bag. The roller frame 112 moves upward together with the air extraction pipe 105. When the air extraction pipe 105 is about to be completely pulled out, the heat-sealing roller 401 below has also completed the heat-sealing action, thus avoiding the situation of gas backflow when the air extraction pipe 105 is pulled out.
[0034] It should be noted that the length of the heat-sealing roller 401 should be greater than the length that needs to be heat-sealed in the middle to avoid misalignment between the second heat-sealing area and the first heat-sealing area during heat-sealing.
[0035] Since the heat-sealing roller 401 and the anti-slip sleeve 502 need to rotate in opposite directions to operate, the following provides a structure for making them operate: Refer to Figure 9 , a motor 504 is connected to the roller frame 112. The motor 504 is preferably a reduction motor 504. The output end of the motor 504 is connected to a driving gear 505. One end of the distance-measuring cylinder 402 is connected to a driven gear 506 that meshes with the driving gear 505. The motor 504 drives the driven gear 506 to rotate in the reverse direction through the driving gear 505. A chain drive structure 507 is connected between the driving gear 505 and the anti-slip sleeve 502. The driving gear 505 drives the anti-slip sleeve 502 to rotate through the chain drive structure 507.
[0036] After the packaging bag is fixed on the clamping frame 103, the bag opening of the packaging bag needs to be opened so that the air extraction pipe 105 can be inserted. The following provides a structure for opening the bag opening: Refer to Figure 10, on the opposite sides of the fixed plate 603, a suction cup holder 608 is connected. A fourth cylinder 609 is connected between the suction cup holder 608 and the fixed plate 603. The fourth cylinder 609 can push the suction cup holder 608 to extend outwards, so that the suction cup holder 608 contacts the packaging bag. The suction cup is externally connected to a negative pressure device, and the packaging bag is sucked by negative pressure to open the bag mouth to both sides.
[0037] Before heat-sealing the packaging bag, it is necessary to flatten the bag mouth to improve the heat-sealing effect. The following provides a structure for flattening the bag mouth: Specifically, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , at the top inside the fixed cover 101, a first cylinder 601 is connected. The suction pipe 105 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 601. The first cylinder 601 pushes the suction pipe 105 to move up and down. Second cylinders 602 are connected inside both the movable cover 102 and the fixed cover 101. The sealing frame 104 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 602. When the second cylinder 602 extends, the symmetrical sealing frames 104 will clamp on both sides of the bag mouth of the packaging bag. The clamping frame 103 includes a fixed plate 603 and movable plates 604 on both sides of the fixed plate 603. The movable plates 604 are slidably connected to the fixed plate 603 and can extend out from both sides. At the top of the movable plate 604, a clamping jaw 605 is rotatably connected. The clamping jaw 605 is used to fix the packaging from both sides. On the side of the fixed plate 603 away from the suction pipe 105, a third cylinder 606 is connected. A connecting rod 607 is connected between the output end of the third cylinder 606 and the movable plate 604. When the third cylinder 606 acts, the movable plate 604 is pushed out to both sides through the connecting rod 607, so that the movable plate 604 drives the packaging bag to be pulled to both sides to flatten it and avoid wrinkles. The clamping jaw 605 needs to rotate to fix the packaging bag. The following provides a structure for driving the clamping jaw 605 to rotate: Specifically, refer to Figure 10 , inside the movable plate 604, a fifth cylinder 613 is connected. Inside the clamping jaw 605, a rotating tube 610 is fixedly connected. The rotating tube 610 is rotatably connected inside the movable plate 604. When the rotating tube 610 rotates, it will drive the clamping jaw 605 to rotate. An inclined chute 611 is provided inside the rotating tube 610. The extending end of the fifth cylinder 613 is connected with a slider located in the inclined chute 611. When the fifth cylinder 613 extends upwards, the slider will slide in the inclined chute 611, thereby driving the clamping jaw 605 to rotate. The movable cover 102 needs to be able to open upward to facilitate loading and unloading. The following provides a structure for driving the opening and closing of the movable cover 102: A opening and closing frame 612 is connected to the top of the movable cover 102. The movable cover 102 and the opening and closing frame 612 are hinged to adapt to the state when closing with the fixed cover 101. The opening and closing frame 612 and the fixed cover 101 are hinged. A sixth cylinder 614 is connected between one end of the opening and closing frame 612 and the movable cover 102. When the sixth cylinder 614 extends upward, by the lever principle, the movable cover 102 can be made to cover on the fixed cover 101.
[0038] A method for vacuum extraction of a food packaging bag includes the following steps: S1. Loading: The packaging bag containing food is placed on the clamping rack 103 through an external loading device. The clamping jaws 605 on both sides of the upper part of the clamping rack 103 rotate to clamp the packaging bag. At this time, the sixth cylinder 614 acts, and drives the movable cover 102 to flip downward through the opening and closing frame 612 and cover on the fixed cover 101. The symmetric clamping racks 103 clamp both sides of the packaging bag. S2. Flattening: The suction cup rack 608 on the fixed plate 603 generates negative pressure. The fourth cylinder 609 drives the suction cup rack 608 to extend and retract to open the packaging bag mouth. The first cylinder 601 drives the air extraction pipe 105 to insert into the packaging bag. Subsequently, the movable plate 604 moves to both sides to flatten the packaging bag to facilitate fixing the packaging bag mouth. S3. Air extraction: The sealing racks 104 on both sides extend to clamp the bag mouth position. The heat-sealing press head 201 in the sealing rack 104 first extends to perform heat-sealing on both ends of the bag mouth position, and retracts after heat-sealing. The external negative pressure device is started, and the gas in the packaging bag is extracted through the air extraction pipe 105. S4. Sealing: The first cylinder 601 drives the air extraction pipe 105 to retract upward. At this time, the roller rack 112 drives the shaping component and the sealing component to press on the packaging bag and move upward synchronously with the air extraction pipe 105. The shaping component on the roller rack 112 rotates in the reverse direction to scrape the packaging bag upward to keep it flat. The sealing component seals the bag mouth position. S5. Unloading: After sealing, the movable cover 102 opens upward, and the clamping jaws 605 rotate in the reverse direction. At this time, the clamping jaws 605 lose the ability to fix the packaging bag, and the packaging bag falls onto the conveying device below.
