Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] Embodiments of the present utility model relate to the field of food packaging. More specifically, the present utility model relates to a manual packaging platform for raw food ingredients. Background Art
[0002] In the context of the rapid expansion of the global food ingredient supply chain today, the packaging efficiency, cost control, and quality maintenance of raw food ingredients such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and seafood have become the core criteria for measuring industry competitiveness. China, as an important base for global raw food ingredient supply, has a huge annual output that is obvious to all. However, from planting and cultivation to harvesting, and then to subsequent selection, pretreatment, and the crucial packaging stage, we still face many problems that need to be overcome urgently.
[0003] Given the increasing emphasis of consumers on the quality and safety of food ingredients, and the industry's unremitting pursuit of efficiency and cost optimization, the processing methods of raw food ingredients are facing profound changes and innovation needs. Existing packaging operations mostly follow traditional models, relying on manual labor to perform steps such as boxing and sealing on tables. This process is not only inefficient but also burdensome in terms of cost. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] To solve one or more of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present utility model provides a manual packaging platform for raw food ingredients, which can improve the efficiency and quality of food ingredient packaging and reduce the implementation cost of food ingredient packaging.
[0005] The present utility model provides a manual packaging platform for raw food ingredients, which includes: a platform frame including a plurality of processing areas arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction; a box material input track at least partially arranged within the platform frame and configured to pass through each of the processing areas for receiving a raw material box containing raw food ingredients and passively and intermittently delivering it to each of the processing areas; a box material output track at least partially arranged within the platform frame and configured to pass through each of the processing areas for receiving a packaging box containing raw food ingredients from each of the processing areas and actively sending it out of the platform frame; and a plurality of operating table boards each arranged on the platform frame and separately located in each of the processing areas, the operating table boards being used to carry the packaging box and the raw food ingredients loaded therein.
[0006] The above-mentioned manual packaging platform for raw food materials uses a box material input track to receive raw material boxes containing raw food materials and conveys them to various processing areas of the platform frame in a passive and intermittent manner. This design ensures that operators in each processing area can obtain the raw material boxes in a relay manner and efficiently complete the packaging process of raw food materials on the corresponding operating table boards, including but not limited to boxing and sealing. After the boxing operation is completed, the platform can also send the packed boxes of raw food materials out of the platform frame through the box material output track for storage or transportation of the packaged raw food materials. Compared with the traditional tabletop packaging method, this manual packaging platform for raw food materials not only effectively reduces the time and labor intensity of food material handling, but also continuously motivates each operator to equivalently complete the packaging of raw food materials through the relay feeding method. Therefore, this manual packaging platform for raw food materials can effectively improve the efficiency and quality of food material packaging and significantly reduce the implementation cost of food material packaging.

Detailed Embodiments
[0011] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0012] Figure 1 A manual packaging platform for raw food materials according to an embodiment of the present utility model is shown. As Figure 1As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a manual packaging platform 100 for raw food materials. The manual packaging platform 100 for raw food materials includes a platform frame 1, a box material input track 2 at least partially arranged within the platform frame 1, a box material output track 3 at least partially arranged within the platform frame 1, and a plurality of operating table boards 4 all arranged on the platform frame 1. Among them, the platform frame 1 includes a plurality of processing areas 11 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. The plurality of operating table boards 4 are separately located within each processing area 11 to ensure that at least one operating table board 4 is provided within each processing area 11. At the same time, the box material input track 2 is arranged to pass through each processing area 11 of the platform frame 1 and includes conveying equipment such as idle roller tracks or flat structures suitable for passively conveying materials. The box material output track 3 is arranged to pass through each processing area 11 of the platform frame 1 and includes conveying equipment such as belt conveyors and / or roller conveyors suitable for actively conveying materials.
[0013] During use, outside the platform frame 1, a raw material box 200 containing raw food materials 400 needs to be placed into the box material input track 2 by machinery or manually. The box material input track 2 will passively (such as manually pushing) and intermittently send the raw material box 200 containing raw food materials 400 to each processing area 11, so that each operator can obtain the raw material box 200 containing raw food materials 400 in a relay manner in their respective processing area 11 and complete the packaging operation of the raw food materials 400 on the operating table board 4 within the same area to obtain a packaging box 300 filled with raw food materials 400. Among them, the packaging operation generally includes packing, sealing the box, and may even include cleaning, sorting, or / and weighing, etc. Finally, each operator needs to place the packaging box 300 containing raw food materials 400 onto the box material output track 3, and because the box material output track 3 sends it out of the platform frame 1, so that it can enter the next process, such as food material storage or transportation, etc. Compared with the traditional tabletop packaging method, this manual packaging platform 100 for raw food materials not only effectively reduces the time and labor intensity of food material handling, but also continuously motivates each operator to equivalently complete the packaging of raw food materials 400 through the relay feeding method. Therefore, this manual packaging platform 100 for raw food materials can effectively improve the efficiency and quality of food material packaging and significantly reduce the implementation cost of food material packaging.
[0014] In this embodiment, multiple processing areas 11 of the platform frame 1 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the box material output track 3, and an equal number of operating table boards 4 are provided in each processing area 11, so that the multiple operating table boards 4 are arranged in a row on one side of the box material output track 3, or are jointly arranged in two rows on both sides of the box material output track 3. In this way, multiple operators can stand near the corresponding operating table boards 4 in sequence according to the arrangement order of the operating table boards 4, and are also arranged in one row or two rows. During the packaging process, the box material output track 3 needs to manually send the packaging boxes 300 containing the raw ingredients 400 to each processing area 11 in sequence. Specifically, a full-time operator can be assigned to continuously supply the packaging boxes 300 containing the raw ingredients 400 to the box material output track 3, and through the chain effect of pushing the box by people, pushing the box by the box, and pushing the box by the box again... the box material output track 3 realizes the passive and intermittent transportation of the packaging boxes 300, so as to ensure that each operator in each row can obtain the same raw material box 200 in a relay manner and facilitate taking a small amount of raw ingredients 400 from it until the last operator in each row takes out all the raw ingredients 400 from the raw material box 200.
[0015] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the number of box material input tracks 2 is one or two. When the number of box material input tracks 2 is one, the box material input track 2 is arranged directly above the box material output track 3. This method is not only applicable to the scenario where multiple operating table boards 4 are arranged on one side of the box material output track 3, but also applicable to the scenario where multiple operating table boards 4 are arranged on both sides of the box material output track 3 (in this scenario, the box material input track 2 should be arranged horizontally and not inclined laterally). When the number of box material input tracks 2 is two, the two box material input tracks 2 are arranged above the box material output track 3 and are symmetric about the selected vertical plane, where the selected vertical plane is the surface perpendicular to the load-carrying conveying layer of the box material output track 3 and passing through the central axis of the load-carrying conveying layer. This method is more applicable to the scenario where multiple operating table boards 4 are arranged on both sides of the box material output track 3.
[0016] Based on the above description, each operator in the corresponding processing area 11 does not need to take the raw material box 200 containing the raw ingredients 400 from the box material input track 2, but only needs to take out some of the raw ingredients 400 from the raw material box 200 and complete the entire packaging process. On this basis, as Figure 2 shown, in order to improve the convenience of the material-taking operation, the part of the box material input track 2 within the platform frame 1 can be set higher than the operating table board 4, so that the operator can perform a more convenient top-down material-taking operation. Compared with the bottom-up material-taking operation, the top-down material-taking operation significantly improves the operation efficiency and convenience.
[0017] To further improve the convenience of the material taking operation, the box material input track 2 is disposed obliquely on the platform frame 1, and the lower side of the box material input track 2 is closer to the outer side of the platform frame 1 than its upper side. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 . Since the box material input track 2 arranged obliquely can keep the raw material box 200 containing the raw food ingredients 400 in an inclined state, the box material input track 2 can facilitate the operator to take away the raw food ingredients 400 from the raw material box 200 more conveniently and quickly. On this basis, in order to prevent the raw material box 200 from actively detaching from the obliquely arranged box material input track 2 under the action of gravity, the raw food manual packaging platform 100 may further include a blocking structure 5 fixedly arranged on the lower side of the box material input track 2. See Figure 2 . As an example, the blocking structure 5 includes a baffle arranged along the conveying direction of the box material input track 2, and the axis of the baffle is perpendicular to the material-carrying conveying layer of the box material input track 2, and can effectively prevent the raw material box 200 from detaching from the box material input track 2. As another example, the blocking structure 5 includes an idle roller path arranged along the conveying direction of the box material input track 2, and the axis of the roller of the idle roller path is perpendicular to the material-carrying conveying layer of the box material input track 2. Thus, the idle roller path can not only effectively prevent the raw material box 200 from detaching from the box material input track 2, but also assist the box material input track 2 to passively and low-resistantly convey the raw material box 200 containing the raw food ingredients 400.
[0018] In this embodiment, the operation table board 4 includes a storage surface for carrying the packaging box 300 and the raw food ingredients 400 contained therein, and the storage surfaces are all arranged along the horizontal direction. The storage surfaces arranged along the horizontal direction can ensure that the operation table board 4 is more suitable for the operator to efficiently and comfortably complete the packaging operations including boxing and sealing. Further, the edge of the storage surface close to the platform frame 1 can be set to be adjacent to the box material output track 3 and flush with the material-carrying conveying layer of the box material output track 3. Thus, it is convenient for the operator to directly and easily push the packaging box 300 containing the raw food ingredients 400 from the operation table board 4 into the box material output track 3 after the packaging operation, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the labor intensity and improving the packaging efficiency.
[0019] Considering that the horizontal plane where the raw food manual packaging platform 100 is located is not necessarily the same as the horizontal plane where the operator stands, the following definitions are made here. That is, the horizontal plane where the raw food manual packaging platform 100 is located is defined as the first horizontal plane, and the horizontal plane where the operator using the raw food manual packaging platform 100 stands is defined as the second horizontal plane, where the second horizontal plane can be optionally coincident with the first horizontal plane or higher than the first horizontal plane. On this basis, combined with the principle of ergonomics, the height of the part of the box material output track 3 inside the platform frame 1 relative to the second horizontal plane is preferably 500 mm - 800 mm, so as to facilitate the operator to easily perform the corresponding packaging operation on the platform frame 1. Similarly, the height of the center of gravity of the part of the box material input track 2 inside the platform frame 1 relative to the second horizontal plane is 1000 mm - 1300 mm, whereby the operator can also conveniently complete the operation of taking away the raw food 400 here.
[0020] In this embodiment, the raw food manual packaging platform 100 further includes an empty box supply track 6 provided on the platform frame 1 and passing through each processing area 11. The empty box supply track 6 includes an idle roller track or a flat plate structure and is arranged higher than the box material output track 3 and the box material input track 2 for storing the empty packaging boxes 300. When in use, the operator can temporarily place the unused packaging boxes 300 on the empty box supply track 6 so that he can obtain the packaging boxes 300 at any time and complete the packaging operation of the raw food 400 more quickly.
[0021] In summary, the raw food manual packaging platform 100 can improve the efficiency and quality of food packaging and reduce the implementation cost of food packaging.
