After the rollers contact the surface of the packaging bag body, the rollers drive the inclined rods to fold inward under the action of the reaction force of the packaging bag body, and the elastic ropes are stretched. If both sides are air leakage, the stretching amounts of the elastic ropes on both sides are the same, the elastic coefficients of the elastic ropes are the same, the pulling forces on the sliding blocks are the same after being enlarged by one time through the movable pulleys, and the pulling forces on both sides of the sliding blocks are the same, so that the sliding blocks remain stationary in the rectangular box. The internal pressure of the side with slight air leakage and the side without air leakage forms a pressure difference.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food production packaging, in particular to a food production line packaging sealing detection device and method based on differential pressure method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the food production and processing process, in order to ensure that the packaged food has a long shelf life, it is often necessary to detect the sealing of the packaged food bag. Generally, a food packaging sealing test instrument is used to apply pressure and time to the sample according to the set parameters; during the test, the leakage of the sample is observed.

[0003] Most of the sealing leakage points in the prior art are at the heat-sealed ports on both sides of the sealed packaging bag. The probability of air leakage at the heat-sealed port on the assembly line is generally high due to problems in the heat-sealing process, such as insufficient knife pressure, excessively high or low temperature, etc. Therefore, when air leakage frequently occurs on the same side of the food packaging, the heat-sealing process needs to be corrected in time to avoid low yield.

[0004] When a small amount of air leakage occurs on one side of the food packaging bag, a pressure gradient will occur inside the packaging bag, i.e. the pressure on the air leakage side is lower, and the pressure on the non-air leakage side is higher than that on the air leakage side, thereby causing a pressure difference.

[0005] Some existing food packaging sealing detection devices can only detect the overall air leakage of the packaging. When a small amount of air leakage occurs on one side of the food packaging bag, it is not possible to determine which side of the two sealed ports is the air leakage side, thereby making it inconvenient to perform subsequent error correction procedures and inconvenient to improve the yield.

[0025] 4. The adhesion between the leakage side and the roller decreases, so that the friction of the roller decreases, when the rechecking driving mechanism drives the roller to rotate, the rotation distance of the roller on the leakage side is smaller than that on the non-leakage side, so that the difference in the values of the rolling distance sensor can also confirm the leakage side.

[0044] In this embodiment, specifically: the local pressure feedback mechanism 31 includes a horizontal plate 311, which is arranged on the pressing plate 213, and a horizontal rod 312 is slidably connected to the inside of the horizontal plate 311 on both sides, the horizontal rod 312 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 311 through an external hexagonal bolt, a diagonal rod 313 is rotatably connected to the outside end of the horizontal rod 312, the upper half of the diagonal rod 313 is shorter than the lower half, a U-shaped plate 314 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the diagonal rod 313, a rolling distance sensor 316 is embedded in the U-shaped plate 314 and a roller 315 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped plate 314.

[0045] In this embodiment, specifically: the pressure difference amplification mechanism 32 includes a rectangular box 321, which is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 311, a sliding block 322 is slidably connected in the rectangular box 321, a movable pulley 328 is arranged on both sides of the sliding block 322, an elastic rope 329 is wound outside the movable pulley 328, one end of the elastic rope 329 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular box 321, the other end is arranged out of the rectangular box 321 and is fixedly connected to the top end of the diagonal rod 313, a rectangular hole 323 is formed in the top of the sliding block 322, a vertical plate 324 is arranged in the rectangular hole 323, the vertical plate 324 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the rectangular box 321, a clamping rod 325 is arranged on both sides of the vertical plate 324, the clamping rod 325 is fixedly connected to the rectangular hole 323, a hanging block 326 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vertical plate 324, and an angle sensor 327 is arranged in the inside of the hanging block 326.

[0046] Under the above settings, the two-side pressure feedback in the packaging bag body 5 is realized by the contact of the roller 315 with the two sides of the packaging bag body 5 after being pressed, so as to determine which side is the air leakage side. After the surface of the roller 315 contacts the packaging bag body 5, the roller 315 drives the inclined rod 313 to fold inward under the action of the reaction force of the packaging bag body 5. If both sides are air leakage, the two elastic ropes 329 are stretched by the same amount, the elastic coefficient of the elastic rope 329 is the same, the tension on the sliding block 322 is doubled after being enlarged by the movable pulley 328, and the tension on both sides of the sliding block 322 is the same, so that the sliding block 322 remains stationary in the rectangular box 321. The internal pressure of the side with slight air leakage is different from that of the side without air leakage. As the electric push rod 211 gradually descends to continuously press the packaging bag body 5, the pressure gradient is continuously present and enlarged. The pressure on the air leakage side is small, the reaction force on the roller 315 is small, and the moving block 333 is driven to slide outward on the limiting rod 332 under the restoring action of the second spring 335.

The right rotation is positive, that is, the left side leaks air, and the left rotation is negative, that is, the right side leaks air.

[0047] At the same time, the adhesion between the air leakage side and the roller 315 decreases, the friction of the roller 315 decreases, and when the re-examination driving mechanism 34 drives the roller 315 to rotate, the rotation distance of the roller 315 on the air leakage side is smaller than that on the non-air leakage side, so that the value difference of the rolling distance sensor 316 can also confirm the air leakage side.
