[0002] The bag filling and sealing device for plastic cups for food plays a key role in food processing and packaging. Through precise heating and pressure control, it ensures that the mouth of the filled plastic cup is completely sealed to prevent food leakage and contamination, thereby ensuring food safety and hygiene standards. The structure of this type of device is composed of several key components, among which the sealing strip is one of the core components, and the sealing of the mouth of the plastic cup is achieved through the heating system. The control panel and electrical system are responsible for monitoring and adjusting the heating parameters to ensure sealing quality and production efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0018] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides an embodiment: a multi-station packaging device for plastic cups for food, comprising a T-shaped double-wing plate 1 and a support frame 2 mounted on the surface of the T-shaped double-wing plate 1, and a lifting unit is mounted on the surface of the support frame 2, a bottom plate 4 is mounted on the movable end of the lifting unit, and a double-station material belt positioning structure 5 for limiting the position of the material bag is arranged on both sides of the bottom end of the bottom plate 4, and the lifting unit is a Z-axis cylinder 3 mounted on the surface of the support frame 2, and the bottom end of the piston rod of the Z-axis cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top end of the bottom plate 4;

[0019] Both sides of the surface of the T-shaped double-wing plate 1 are fixed with vertical bearing seats 6, a horizontal shaft 7 is rotatably installed between the two vertical bearing seats 6, and heat sealing units are installed at both ends of the surface of the horizontal shaft 7. The surface of the T-shaped double-wing plate 1 behind the support frame 2 is provided with a gear rack flip unit 10 for driving the horizontal shaft 7 to rotate;

[0020] The device can be connected to a PLC control panel, which controls the actions of various electrical components in the device. The output end of the PLC control panel is electrically connected to the input end of the Z-axis cylinder 3, the gear rack flip unit 10, and the heat sealing unit;

[0021] The double-station material strip positioning structure 5 includes a Y-axis cylinder 501 installed on one side of the bottom end of the base plate 4, a crossbeam 502 fixed at the end of the piston rod of the Y-axis cylinder 501, and right-angle feet 503 fixed at both ends of the back of the crossbeam 502. When limiting the position of the material bag, the Y-axis cylinder 501 controls the crossbeam 502 and the two right-angle feet 503 to move toward the direction of the T-shaped double-wing plate 1 until the right-angle feet 503 press the material bags on their respective sides onto the T-shaped double-wing plate 1 to ensure the stability of the material bags, so that each material bag can be accurately positioned and heat-sealed;

[0022] The heat sealing unit includes a right-angle seat 8 fixed at both ends of the surface of the horizontal axis 7, and a heat sealing plate 9 installed on the outer wall of the right-angle seat 8 close to the T-shaped double-wing plate 1. The horizontal axis 7 and the right-angle seat 8 are driven by the gear rack flip unit 10 to rotate until the heat sealing plate 9 is pressed on the material bag and the T-shaped double-wing plate 1. During this process, the gear rack flip unit 10 continuously applies force to ensure that the bag opening is heat-sealed and packaged. The length of the right-angle seat 8 and the heat sealing plate 9 is greater than or equal to the length of the right-angle foot seat 503;

[0023] The right-angle foot 503 and the right-angle seat 8 are both made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy is a lightweight material, which is lighter than traditional steel materials and can reduce the overall weight of the equipment. The aluminum alloy surface is smooth and not easy to breed bacteria, which meets the food safety and sanitation requirements and is suitable for application in the food packaging industry.

[0024] The gear rack flipping unit 10 includes a second cylinder 1001 fixed on the surface of the T-shaped double-wing plate 1, a bevel rack 1002 installed at the bottom end of the piston rod of the second cylinder 1001, and a driven gear cylinder 1003 installed at one end of the surface of the horizontal axis 7 for meshing with the bevel rack 1002. During the flipping action of the right-angle seat 8 and the heat-sealing plate 9, the second cylinder 1001 drives the bevel rack 1002 to rise and fall. During the lifting and lowering of the bevel rack 1002, since the bevel rack 1002 and the driven gear cylinder 1003 are meshed with each other, the horizontal axis 7 can be driven by the driven gear cylinder 1003 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the right-angle seat 8 and the heat-sealing plate 9. The synchronous flipping operation of the heat-sealing plates 9 on both sides ensures that the two material bags are heat-sealed at the same time, thereby ensuring the uniformity and stability of the sealing.

[0025] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, the staff first places the two material bags to be used in the gap between the T-shaped double-wing plate 1 and the right-angle seat 8, and puts the plastic cups into the material bags. Then the staff turns on the Z-axis cylinder 3 to work, and the Z-axis cylinder 3 adjusts the height of the bottom plate 4, the double-station material belt positioning structure 5 and other components to ensure that the double-station material belt positioning structure 5 can press the bag body of the material bag. After the height of the double-station material belt positioning structure 5 is adjusted, the double-station material belt positioning structure 5 starts to move, and the double-station material belt positioning structure 5 is used to limit the material bags on both sides of the surface of the T-shaped double-wing plate 1 to prevent the material bags and plastic cups from sliding down by themselves under the action of gravity. Then the staff can turn on the gear rack flipping unit 10 to work, and the gear rack flipping unit 10 is turned on by the gear rack flipping unit 10. The strip flipping unit 10 drives the horizontal axis 7 and the right-angle seat 8 to rotate until the heat sealing plate 9 is pressed on the material bag and the T-shaped double-wing plate 1. During this process, the gear rack flipping unit 10 continuously applies force to ensure that the bag mouth is heat-sealed and sealed. When the material bag is sealed, the double-station material strip positioning structure 5 releases the material bag and the plastic cup, and the heat sealing plate 9 and the right-angle seat 8 rotate and reset to wait for the heat sealing operation of the next material bag. The T-shaped double-wing plate 1 in the device provides two bagging areas for the material bag, and the gear rack flipping unit 10, the heat sealing plate 9 and other components enable the material bag containing the plastic cup to be heat-sealed at the same time. Compared with the single-station structure, the double-station structure can process two material bags at a time, saving the time of the sealing operation and realizing fast and continuous production.

[0026] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
