Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to an automatic sealing and leak detection device for puffs. Background Art
[0002] Eclairs are a popular French dessert, typically spherical or round in shape, with a crispy outer crust and a filling of cream, chocolate, jam, or other sweet fillings. During packaging, eclairs are filled with an inert gas (such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide) to replace air to extend their shelf life and maintain their freshness. After packaging, the eclairs need to be inspected to ensure they are properly sealed. Traditional methods for inspecting eclair seals typically rely on manual visual inspection or testing, which is susceptible to human error, leading to inaccurate inspections or missing poorly sealed packages. This can result in substandard products entering the market, compromising product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problems as follows:
[0005] A puff automatic sealing and leak detection device includes a support plate, a vacuum cover, a bracket and a side plate. Side plates are welded on both sides of the support plate, a bracket is mounted on the side plate, a cylinder is mounted on the bracket, the output end of the cylinder passes through the bracket and a vacuum cover is mounted on the bracket, a through hole is opened on the support plate, a flap is rotatably mounted in the through hole, a sealing gasket is attached to the flap, a servo motor is mounted on one side of the side plate, and the servo motor is transmission-connected to the flap.
[0006] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.
[0007] Furthermore, the size of the vacuum cover is adapted to the size of the sealing gasket.
[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0009] The size of the vacuum cover is adapted to the size of the sealing gasket, which can ensure that an effective sealed environment is formed during the detection process, preventing outside air from entering the vacuum cover, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the vacuum degree.
[0010] Furthermore, the sealing gaskets are symmetrically distributed on the back sides of both sides of the flap.
[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0012] Symmetrically distributed gaskets provide a better seal. Regardless of the flap's position, the gaskets adhere effectively to the vacuum cover or packaging surface, ensuring no air leaks during vacuum testing and improving detection accuracy.
[0013] Furthermore, the flap is in the shape of a round pancake, and the edges of the flap are provided with rounded corners.
[0014] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0015] The rounded edges of the flap reduce friction and wear when the flap contacts other components during rotation. The rounded edges better protect the flap and adjacent components, extending the service life of the equipment.
[0016] Furthermore, fixing holes are provided at both ends of the side panels, and the side panels are fixedly connected to the feeding equipment through the fixing holes.
[0017] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0018] The fixing hole design enables the side panels to be firmly connected to the feeding equipment, ensuring that the entire device remains stable during operation and will not be displaced or loosened due to vibration or impact, thereby improving the reliability of equipment operation.
[0019] Furthermore, the vacuum cover is provided with a connecting pipe, and the vacuum cover is connected to the vacuum pump through the connecting pipe and the vacuum gauge.
[0020] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are:
[0021] The connecting tube directly connects the vacuum hood to the vacuum pump, ensuring that the vacuum pump can effectively remove the air inside the vacuum hood. Through the connecting tube, a vacuum gauge can monitor the vacuum level inside the vacuum hood in real time. This allows operators to view and record vacuum data at any time, promptly identify and address sealing issues, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the testing process.
[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0023] The combination of a vacuum pump and a vacuum gauge enables automated testing of the sealability of puff packaging. The vacuum pump extracts air from the vacuum housing. Once a certain vacuum level is reached, the vacuum gauge reads the vacuum value. A stable vacuum value indicates a good seal; a decrease in the vacuum value indicates a leak. This automated testing not only reduces human intervention and operational errors, but also significantly improves inspection efficiency.
[0024] When the device detects that the puff packaging is exposed, the servo motor drives the flap to rotate, and the exposed puff is automatically sorted into the collecting device below. Such design not only reduces the error of manual operation and judgment, but also ensures the continuous operation of the production line, improves the production efficiency and automation level.

[0035] Embodiment one
[0036] The invention relates to an automatic sealing and leak detection device for puffs, comprising a support plate 1, a vacuum cover 2, a bracket 4 and a side plate 8. Side plates 8 are welded on both sides of the support plate 1. Fixing holes 10 are formed at both ends of the side plates 8. The side plates 8 are fixedly connected to the feeding equipment through the fixing holes 10. The fixing holes 10 are designed so that the side plates 8 can be firmly connected to the feeding equipment, ensuring that the entire device remains stable during operation and will not be displaced or loosened due to vibration or impact, thereby improving the reliability of the equipment operation. A bracket 4 is mounted on the side plate 8, and a cylinder 3 is installed on the bracket 4. The output end of the cylinder 3 passes through the bracket 4 and is equipped with a vacuum cover 2. A connecting pipe is provided on the vacuum cover 2, and the vacuum cover 2 is connected to a vacuum pump through the connecting pipe and a vacuum gauge. The vacuum cover 2 is evacuated by the vacuum pump and the vacuum gauge, and then whether the puff packaging is sealed is judged by observing the vacuum gauge reading. The connecting pipe directly connects the vacuum cover 2 with the vacuum pump, ensuring that the vacuum pump can effectively remove the air in the vacuum cover 2, and the vacuum gauge can monitor the vacuum degree in the vacuum cover 2 in real time through the connecting pipe. This allows operators to view and record vacuum data at any time, promptly identify and address sealing issues, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the testing process. The size of the vacuum cover 2 is compatible with the size of the sealing gasket 7. This ensures that an effective sealed environment is formed during the testing process, preventing outside air from entering the vacuum cover 2, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the vacuum level. The support plate 1 is provided with a through hole 5, and a flap 6 is rotatably mounted within the through hole 5. When the vacuum test determines that the puff package is exposed, the flap 6 is driven by a servo motor 9 to rotate, thereby allowing the exposed puff to fall into the collection device below. The flap 6 is rounded and has rounded edges. The rounded edges of the flap 6 reduce friction and wear when the flap 6 contacts other components during rotation. The smooth edges can better protect the flap 6 and adjacent components, extending the service life of the equipment. The flap 6 is affixed with sealing gaskets 7, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the back of the flap 6. The symmetrical distribution of the sealing gaskets 7 can provide a better sealing effect. No matter where the flap 6 is, the sealing gasket 7 can effectively fit on the vacuum cover 2 or the packaging surface, ensuring that there is no air leakage during the vacuum detection process and improving the accuracy of the detection. A servo motor 9 is installed on one side of the side panel 8, and the servo motor 9 is connected to the flap 6 for transmission.
[0037] When the automatic sealing and leak detection device for puffs according to Example 1 is used:
[0038] The combination of a vacuum pump and a vacuum gauge enables automated testing of the sealing properties of puff packaging. Specifically, the vacuum pump extracts air from the vacuum housing 2. Once a certain vacuum level is reached, the vacuum gauge reads the vacuum value. A stable vacuum value indicates a good sealing performance; a decrease in the vacuum value indicates a leak. This automated testing not only reduces human intervention and operational errors, but also significantly improves testing efficiency.
[0039] When the device detects that the puff package is broken, the servo motor 9 drives the flap 6 to rotate, automatically sorting the broken puffs into the collection device below. This design not only reduces the errors of manual operation and judgment, but also ensures the continuous operation of the production line, improving production efficiency and automation level.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Any ordinary technician in this industry can smoothly implement the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above. However, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made by technicians familiar with this profession without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention using the technical content disclosed above are all equivalent embodiments of the present invention. At the same time, any equivalent changes, modifications and evolutions made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of the present invention are still within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
