Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation equipment, and more specifically to a feeding and placing device for bagged food. Background Art

[0002] Food packaging is an integral part of food commodities and one of the main projects in the food industry. It protects food and prevents it from being damaged by biological, chemical and physical external factors during the circulation process from the factory to the hands of consumers. It can also have the function of maintaining the stable quality of the food itself. It facilitates the consumption of food and is the first to show the appearance of food and attract consumers. It has value beyond material cost.

[0003] At present, when bagged foods are produced and processed, they need to be loaded and placed after packaging in order to be packaged. Therefore, loading and placing equipment is often used. However, in order to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, bacteria and molds, some bagged foods usually add carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and other gases into the food packaging bags. The inflated bagged foods are prone to uneven shapes and cannot maintain consistent shapes. In order to facilitate the loading and placing of bagged foods of different shapes, most of the existing loading and placing equipment usually uses a robot with a visual system to grab bagged foods. Only one bagged food can be grabbed at a time. The work efficiency mainly depends on the grabbing speed of the robot, and the overall work efficiency is low. Utility Model Content
