Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aluminum foil packaging, and in particular relates to a method for preparing an aluminum foil packaging material and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum has high barrier properties and can effectively block oxygen, moisture, and light, which is important for preserving food and medicine. At the same time, due to its good ductility, it can be easily processed into different shapes and thicknesses to meet various packaging needs. Therefore, aluminum foil has become a core material in the high-end packaging field due to its unique physical and chemical properties.
[0003] Freeze-dried foods (such as high-end ingredients such as matsutake mushrooms) have become an important category in the field of healthy foods because they retain their original nutrients and flavor characteristics through a low-temperature dehydration process. Although traditional freeze-drying technology can reduce the water content to below 1%, it faces the problem of water backflow caused by environmental humidity, oxygen penetration and light during storage. When the moisture content rises to above 3%, the product is prone to browning, aroma loss and texture softening, resulting in deterioration of color, flavor and aroma. Traditional processes mostly use single-layer homogeneous aluminum rolling, which has insufficient barrier properties and cannot effectively isolate the penetration of water vapor, oxygen and light, making it difficult to meet the packaging needs of high-end freeze-dried foods. In addition, conventional aluminum foil preparation processes cannot carry out targeted customized production of aluminum foil based on the actual use needs of the packaged products, resulting in insufficient adaptability.

Three cold-rolled samples are customized based on the candidate thicknesses, and barrier properties tests are performed on the cold-rolled samples. The candidate thickness corresponding to the cold-rolled sample with the best barrier properties is selected as the preliminary optimal thickness of the aluminum foil. The barrier properties here are mainly determined based on water vapor barrier properties, so that the aluminum foil can be precisely customized based on the actual usage requirements of the specific packaged products.
[0097] The present invention takes into account each element in the matrix when calculating the proximity between the performance matrix corresponding to the cold-rolled sample and the preset performance matrix, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the calculation result.

[0101] S32. Use a spraying device to evenly spray the antibacterial coating on the surface of the preliminary aluminum foil, and control the coating thickness to be 0.001-0.002 mm, wherein the antibacterial coating uses silver nanoparticles.
[0102] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the plasma treatment of the present invention improves surface activity and enhances coating adhesion, the silver nanoparticles have high antibacterial ability, and the spraying equipment can ensure uniform distribution of the coating, thereby improving the packaging performance of the aluminum foil.
[0103] Example 6
[0104] Based on Example 1, during the preparation of each batch of aluminum foil packaging materials, a sampling thickness test is required at the completion of each hot rolling or cold rolling step to inspect and accept the current hot rolling or cold rolling results. The steps are as follows:
[0105] Step 1: Select m hot-rolled or cold-rolled products from the current hot-rolled or cold-rolled products for thickness testing. The thickness testing step is to evenly divide each hot-rolled or cold-rolled product into j testing segments along the length direction, take the midpoint of each testing segment for thickness testing, and obtain the thickness value at the midpoint of each testing segment;
[0106] Step 2: Based on the thickness values at the midpoint of each detection section of the m hot-rolled or cold-rolled products, calculate the thickness qualification assessment value of the current hot-rolled or cold-rolled product:
[0107] Where W is the thickness qualification evaluation value of the product after the current hot rolling or cold rolling, m is the total number of thickness test samples in the product after the current hot rolling or cold rolling, ξ1 is the influence coefficient of thickness accuracy on thickness qualification, n is the number of test sections of the product after the hot rolling or cold rolling, H ij is the thickness value at the midpoint of the jth detection section of the i-th sampled product after hot rolling or cold rolling, H0 is the preset thickness value of the current hot rolling or cold rolling product, and ξ2 is the influence coefficient of thickness uniformity on thickness acceptance;
[0108] If the thickness qualification assessment value of the product after the current hot rolling or cold rolling is greater than the benchmark thickness qualification assessment value, it proves that the current preparation step has passed the acceptance. Otherwise, it proves that the current preparation step has failed the acceptance, and an alarm is issued, and the preparation equipment or preparation method is checked and adjusted in time.
[0109] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the present invention extracts m hot-rolled or cold-rolled products from the current hot-rolled or cold-rolled products for thickness detection. The thickness detection step is to evenly divide each hot-rolled or cold-rolled product into j detection segments along the length direction, take the midpoint of each detection segment for thickness detection, and obtain the thickness value at the midpoint of each detection segment. The extraction of multiple samples and the measurement of all detection segments ensure the accuracy of the calculation results. At the same time, when calculating the thickness qualification evaluation value of the current hot-rolled or cold-rolled product, not only the accuracy of the thickness of the current hot-rolled or cold-rolled product is taken into consideration. Also takes into account the uniformity of the product thickness after the current hot rolling or cold rolling Thus, the acceptance of the current preparation steps can be achieved from multiple aspects;
[0110] The present invention realizes the acceptance of the qualification of the current preparation step by accepting the current hot rolling or cold rolling results. Acceptance after each hot rolling or cold rolling can accurately locate the wrong links in the preparation process, minimize the production losses caused by improper operation, and realize timely inspection and adjustment of the preparation equipment or preparation method, which helps to improve product quality and ensure the stability of production quality.
