Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a single - type automatic bag - wrapping machine for chicken, and more specifically, to a single - type automatic bag - wrapping machine for chicken that combines a clamping machine with a single automated system and adopts a rotary wrapping method. The rotary wrapping method automatically binds the entrance of the bag during processes such as supplying the bag and injecting raw materials including chicken into the supplied bag. Background Art

[0003] It is known that a rotary automatic bag - wrapping machine intermittently rotates a rotary plate along a set circular arc trajectory away from the existing in - line product wrapping to sequentially perform a series of processes related to product wrapping, so as to more effectively utilize space and improve product batch productivity.

[0004] The rotary automatic bag - wrapping machine is equipped with bags such as pouches on the wrapping machine, and gradually and automatically performs a series of processes along the circular arc trajectory, such as supplying the bag, measuring the content to be packaged, filling the content into the bag, and heat - sealing the entrance of the bag.

[0005] In other words, the rotary wrapping machine first holds a bag such as a pouch with a gripper, opens the entrance of the bag to fill the held bag, fills the content into the opened bag through a filling nozzle, seals the entrance of the bag with a sealing rod after filling the content, and sequentially and gradually performs a series of processes on the intermittently rotating rotary plate to cool the entrance of the sealed bag to complete the wrapping.

[0006] The rotary bag - wrapping machine includes a single - type and a double - type. In the single - type, one bag is processed in one step according to the intermittent rotation of the rotary plate. In the double - type, two bags are processed simultaneously in one step. The single - type is suitable for relatively heavy wrapping, but since only one bag is processed at a time, there is a disadvantage of relatively low overall product batch productivity. The double - type has a structure that enables multiple bags to be wrapped in one step, making it very suitable for various types of mass production and thus has been widely used in the wrapping industry recently.

[0007] Figure 1 A conventional single - type rotary bag - wrapping machine and a single wrapped bag (P) are presented. The single wrapped bag supplied by a bag - wrapping supply device (A) is vertically supported by a gripper (2b) provided on a turntable (10), and the content is filled into the wrapped bag (P) through a content - filling device (B), and then the turntable (10) continues to rotate to heat - seal the opening of the wrapped bag, and the wrapped bag falls from the gripper and is taken out.

[0008] Such conventional single - type rotary bag - enclosing machines have low production efficiency, while the double - type rotary bag - enclosing machines are very large in shape and can only produce small - sized bag products compared to the standards expected by consumers.

[0009] In many industries around the world, mechanical clamping machines are used to manually package products. A typical field is chicken enclosing. Among them, the operator opens the opening of the chicken bag through a funnel - shaped blade, another worker puts the prepared chicken into the bag through the funnel channel, and the next worker rotates the binding part of the package to make the width of the package smaller, and then puts the smaller part into the clamping machine to complete the binding.

[0010] The rotary bag - enclosing machines used around the world are sealed through heat - bonding equipment, but it is difficult to manufacture a new type of rotary bag - enclosing machine by combining it with a clamping machine (aluminum, plastic, tape).

[0011] Therefore, the present invention provides an automatic bag - enclosing machine that automatically executes the entire bag - enclosing process by applying a clamping machine in an ordinary rotary bag - enclosing machine.

[0032] Therefore, it should be understood that since the configurations shown in the embodiments and drawings described herein are only the most ideal embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all the technical concepts of the present invention, various equivalents and variations that can replace them may exist at the time of this application.

[0033] Hereinafter, a single - type automatic encapsulation machine for chicken packaging according to the present invention will be described.

[0034] According to the present invention, the single - type automatic encapsulation machine for chicken packaging includes a rotating plate (100) rotatably installed by a rotating shaft (110) rotated by a motor driving force; a bag supply device (210), a sealing device (220), a bag opening device (230), a raw material filling device (240), an inspection device (250), a binding / cutting and discharging device (260) sequentially installed along the circumference of the rotating plate (100) to operate in sequence as the rotating shaft (110) runs; a rotary compartment (200) placed along the circumference of the rotating plate (100), which is installed to hold both sides of the bag and move it along the rotating section installed on the rotating plate to transfer the bag to the bag supply device (210), the sealing device (220), the bag opening device (230), the raw material filling device (240), the inspection device (250), the binding / cutting and discharging device (260), and is designed to have a structure that continuously performs all processes around the rotating plate (100), so that the entire process from the bag supply device (210) to the binding / cutting and discharging device (260) is automated, enabling the packaging speed of the product to be much faster than the manual process, and compared with manual work, the precise synchronization of the accurate transfer of the bag by the gripper (300) at each stage significantly increases the production speed in the same time, characterized by improving the overall productivity by enabling more products to be produced.

[0035] In addition, the single - type automatic encapsulation machine for chicken packaging according to the present invention is characterized in that the opening of the bag is clamped by a clip using a rotating method by applying a clamping machine.

[0036] A single - type automatic encapsulation machine for chicken packaging having the above - mentioned characteristics according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Reference Figures 2 to 4, the single - machine automatic packaging machine for chicken according to the present invention is configured to surround a rotating plate (100), which is rotatably installed by a rotating shaft (110) rotated by the driving force of a motor. A bag supply device (210), a sealing device (220), a bag opening device (230), a raw material filling device (240), an inspection device (250), and a clamping / cutting and discharging device (260) are sequentially installed along the circumference of the rotating plate (100), and these devices operate continuously as the rotating shaft (110) runs.

[0038] The binding / cutting and discharging device (260) of the present invention applies a clamping machine to bind the entrance of the bag with an aluminum clip, plastic or tape. During this process, the clamps (300) on both sides of the bag body filled with raw materials are clamped while moving towards the center of the bag, and after clamping, the upper part of the bag is cut off, and the finished product is discharged through a discharge conveyor (261).

[0039] The introduction of this clamping method enables flexible response to products of various sizes and shapes, and has the advantages of higher energy efficiency and fewer restrictions on bag materials compared with the thermal bonding method.

[0040] The transfer of the bag is performed by clamps (300) provided along the circumference of the rotating plate (100). The clamps (300) accurately clamp both sides of the bag to move along the rotating section installed on the rotating plate (100), and safely transfer the bag to each process step.

[0041] In the above process, all steps such as bag supply, sealing, bag opening, raw material filling, inspection, clamping and cutting, and discharging are automatically and continuously performed, and the precise control of the clamps (300) greatly improves the stability and efficiency of the entire process.

[0042] The bag supply device (210) can accurately supply multiple bags to the clamps (300) one by one, and during this process, the supply speed and method can be adjusted according to the size and material of the bag, and it can respond to various products.

[0043] The sealing device (220) prints the production date, expiration date, etc. on the surface of the supplied bag. By adopting a high - resolution printing system, clear and accurate printing can be achieved, which is convenient for product tracking and quality control.

[0044] The bag opening part (230) includes a plurality of surface compression members, introduction members, and air nozzles. First, the surface compression members compress the surface of the bag to start the initial opening, and then the introduction members enter the bag and expand the bag wider.

[0045] Finally, the air nozzle injects air through the inlet of the bag to fully open the bag. This opening step ensures that bags of various sizes and materials can be stably opened, and greatly improves the efficiency of the subsequent raw material filling process.

[0046] The raw material filling device (240) is designed in a funnel shape and is located above the gripper (300). Since a plurality of cuts are formed in the funnel, it can flexibly respond according to the shape and size of the raw materials. In addition to chicken, it also enables the filling of various food raw materials, which increases the versatility of the equipment. During the raw material filling, the bag inlet fully opened by the bag opening part (230) enables the accurate and rapid input of raw materials.

[0047] The inspection device (250) checks the bag fixing state and the raw material filling state through the gripper (300). In this case, when a defective product is detected, the ejecting device (251) is operated to remove the corresponding bag from the production line. This ensures the quality of the finished product and avoids unnecessary resource waste.

[0048] When moving the raw material with the gripper (300), the clamping / cutting and discharging device (260) moves downward, while the stapler holds the bag to fasten the clip, and seals the clip through the clamping machine moving downward along the bag, while cutting the top of the remaining unnecessary bag and discharging it to the conveyor (261).

[0049] Clamping the above-mentioned clamping / cutting and discharging device (260) can make the sealing stable, and the cutting process immediately carried out after clamping ensures cleanliness, which improves the appearance and hygiene of the product, and the product discharged for the next process (such as case sealing) is conveyed by the discharge conveyor (261).

[0050] As described above, each configuration is controlled by the control panel (400), which precisely adjusts the time of each process to improve the efficiency of the entire production process, while immediately grasping the production status through the real-time monitoring and data collection functions, and quickly reacting when problems occur.

[0051] The single-model automatic bagging machine for chicken packaging of the present invention has versatility applicable to various product groups by introducing clamping technologies such as clips instead of the thermal bonding method. It can be used in various fields of the food industry, thereby increasing the flexibility of the production line and maximizing the efficiency of equipment investment.

[0052] Specifically, due to the introduction of the clamping method, the stability of bagging is improved, the shelf life of the product is extended, and it greatly helps to maintain the quality.

[0053] Moreover, the transfer accuracy achieved by precisely controlling the gripper (300) greatly improves the production speed. Compared with conventional manual or semi-automatic systems, the productivity is increased, which provides a great economic advantage in mass production systems.

[0054] The automation of the entire process reduces the dependence on manpower and improves production consistency. This helps to enhance brand value by ensuring product quality uniformity while reducing labor costs. It also helps to reduce the safety risks of workers and maintain a hygienic production environment.

[0055] The present invention is an innovative solution that meets the requirements of the modern food encapsulation industry. The system has high productivity, flexible adaptability, consistent quality, and energy efficiency, which can greatly enhance the competitiveness of food manufacturers.

[0056] As described above, the single-model automatic encapsulation machine for chicken packaging of the present invention greatly improves productivity by automating the entire process from supplying bags to inputting raw materials and achieving sealing through clamping.

[0057] Moreover, since the clamping device is applied to a rotary encapsulation method using clips, automating all encapsulation methods for automatically binding the entrance of the bag during the process of injecting raw materials including chicken, precisely controlling the gripper, having an efficient bag opening system, and automating and centrally controlling the entire process indicate that the present invention is a comprehensive solution that meets various requirements of the modern food encapsulation industry, which is expected to make a great contribution to the improvement of productivity and quality in the food industry.
