Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage, specifically relating to a vacuum packaging device. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life and production, storage bags are commonly used for storing items. These bags can be made of plastic or woven straps. When using storage bags to store certain special items (such as empty bottles, paper, and blankets), the overall volume of the bag is relatively large because these items have internal gaps. Similarly, when the storage bag is not fully occupied, gaps exist between the items, which also contributes to its larger overall volume.

[0003] When the overall volume of the storage bag is large, the cost of transporting and storing it will obviously increase.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the traditional method involves manually compressing the storage bag to reduce its overall volume. The bag is then sealed afterward, achieving the desired reduction in size. This traditional method is entirely manual and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a vacuum packaging device, the purpose of which is to solve the problem of low efficiency when shrinking the overall volume of storage bags in the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a vacuum packaging device, including...

[0007] frame,

[0008] A vacuum module is installed on the frame. The vacuum module includes a vacuum pump, which is connected to the inside of the storage bag so that the storage bag is vacuumed.

[0009] A sealing module is installed on the frame and is used to seal the storage bag.

[0010] This solution uses a vacuum module to create a vacuum inside the storage bag. Once the inside of the bag is vacuumed, its overall volume decreases. The reduced-volume bag is then sealed by a sealing module to prevent air leakage. This solution, through the combined use of the vacuum and sealing modules, achieves a significantly higher efficiency compared to existing manual methods.

[0011] Preferably, to ensure the storage bag remains stable during the vacuuming process, this solution also includes a support frame for securing the storage bag, ensuring it remains upright.

[0012] This solution uses a configured support frame to secure the storage bag. Once secured, the storage bag will not tip over or shake during the vacuuming process, ensuring a better vacuuming effect.

[0013] Preferably, in order to support the storage bag, the support frame of this solution includes a support ring, which is used to support the opening of the storage bag.

[0014] In this design, a support ring connects to the opening of the storage bag, allowing the bag to remain open. Simultaneously, the support ring is fixedly mounted to the frame, ensuring the storage bag's stability.

[0015] Preferably, to make the storage bag more stable, the support frame of this solution further includes a fixing ring, which is located above the support ring, and the fixing ring and the support ring clamp and fix the opening of the storage bag.

[0016] In this solution, a fixing ring and a support ring work together to clamp the opening of the storage bag, making the opening of the storage bag more stable and thus preventing the storage bag from tipping over.

[0017] Preferably, in order to accommodate the vacuuming module and the sealing module, the frame of this solution is preferably a housing box, and the housing box contains the storage bag.

[0018] Preferably, in order to facilitate the insertion of the storage bag into the interior, the container of this solution includes a receiving component and a cover, wherein the receiving component is configured with the cover; and the vacuum pump is installed on the cover.

[0019] This solution features a lid that allows the receiving component to be opened, enabling the storage bag to be placed inside the receiving box. Simultaneously, because the vacuum module is mounted on the lid, it does not interfere with the insertion of the storage bag. When vacuuming is required, the lid closes onto the receiving component, and the vacuum module on the lid performs vacuuming of the storage bag.

[0020] Preferably, in order to ensure that the storage bag does not leak air during the vacuuming process, when the cover is closed onto the receiving component, the cover seals the opening of the storage bag.

[0021] This solution seals the opening of the storage bag with a lid, thus solving the problem of air leakage during the vacuuming process.

[0022] Preferably, in order to seal the storage bag, the sealing module in this solution is preferably a thermoplastic sealing module.

[0023] Preferably, in order to determine the weight of the items inside the storage bag, the solution further includes a weighing module, wherein the containing component has a containing cavity, and the weighing module is installed at the bottom of the containing cavity.

[0024] This solution incorporates a weighing module, which allows the storage bag to be weighed after items are stored, thus providing the weight of the items.

[0025] Preferably, to facilitate staff in determining the weight of the items inside the storage bag, this solution also includes a label module, which is signal-connected to the weighing module.

[0026] After the weighing module completes the weighing of the storage bag, the labeling module outputs a label with corresponding information. The label is then affixed to the storage bag. Subsequent staff can then determine the weight of the items inside the bag based on the information on the label.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This solution uses a vacuum module to create a vacuum inside the storage bag. After the vacuum is created, the overall volume of the storage bag decreases. The reduced-volume storage bag is then sealed by a sealing module, preventing air leakage. This solution achieves the reduction of the overall volume of the storage bag through the combined use of the vacuum module and the sealing module, which is more efficient than the manual methods used in existing technologies.

[0036] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this application are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the application is located, and with the authorization granted by the owner of the relevant device.

[0037] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the contours of the corresponding components. Terms such as "first" and "second" used in this disclosure are for distinguishing one element from another and do not imply sequence or importance.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Basically as attached Figure 1 As shown, a vacuum packing device is used to vacuum the storage bag 7, causing the overall volume of the storage bag 7 to shrink, which facilitates transportation and storage. Compared with the manual shrinking of the storage bag in the prior art, it is more efficient.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the vacuum packaging device of this embodiment specifically includes a frame, a vacuum module 3, and a sealing module 4. The frame provides a mounting base for the vacuum module 3 and the sealing module 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the preferred frame is a receiving box 1, which is rectangular or cylindrical and preferably made of metal. The receiving box 1 includes a receiving component 11 and a cover 12. The receiving component 11 has an internal receiving cavity with an open top. The receiving cavity is used to hold a storage bag 7, which is preferably a plastic bag in a long, narrow shape. The storage bag 7 can hold items such as books, blankets, and empty kettles.

[0042] In this embodiment, the shape of the cover 12 is adapted to the shape of the receiving component 11, and the cover 12 is also made of metal. The cover 12 is mounted on top of the receiving component 11 via a pivot. The cover 12 can be rotated to close onto the top opening of the receiving component 11, and at the same time, the cover 12 can also be rotated to open the top opening of the receiving component 11. When the cover 12 is closed onto the top of the receiving component 11, the cover 12 seals the top of the container component.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, to facilitate the removal of the storage bag 7, a side opening 13 is provided on the side of the receiving component 11. The side opening 13 can be rectangular. The side opening 13 is in communication with the interior of the receiving component, and a hatch can be installed at the side opening 13 to close the side door. The storage bag 7 can be removed through the side opening 13, and compared to removing the storage bag 7 through the top of the receiving cavity, it is not necessary to lift the storage bag 7 to the opening height of the receiving cavity, which is more effortless and convenient for the user.

[0044] It should be noted that the housing is one embodiment of the frame; in some other embodiments, the frame can also be other structures existing in the art. For example, the frame can be a rectangular frame, comprising a frame body and a cover. The frame includes several vertically arranged columns and several horizontally arranged beams. The columns and beams are welded together. The cover body can be rotatably mounted on the frame via a pivot. The cover body is plate-shaped.

[0045] When the storage bag is housed within the rack, to ensure its stability and prevent it from tipping over or shaking, this embodiment includes a support frame 2 installed on the rack. The support frame 2 supports and secures the storage bag 7, ensuring it stands upright. When the storage bag 7 is upright, it is easier for the user to load items into it.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 2 in this embodiment specifically includes a connecting column 21, a support ring 22, and a fixing ring 23. The connecting column 21 is fixedly connected to the support frame, and the connecting column 21 can be installed by welding or by configuring fasteners. The connecting column 21 is arc-shaped. The support ring 22 is fixedly welded to the top of the connecting column 21, and the support ring 22 is preferably a circular ring. The fixing ring 23 is also installed on the connecting column 21 by configuring a rotating shaft, and the fixing ring 23 is also a circular ring. The fixing ring 23 is located above the support ring 22. The fixing ring 23 can be rotated to cover the support ring 22, and the fixing ring 23 can also be rotated to separate from the support ring 22. When the fixing ring 23 is covered by the support ring 22, the fixing ring 23 and the support ring 22 can cooperate to clamp and fix the bag opening of the storage bag 7, making the storage bag 7 more stable.

[0047] Taking one application scenario as an example: When it is necessary to secure the storage bag 7, firstly, pass the lower end of the storage bag 7 through the inner ring of the support ring 22 (at this time, the fixing ring 23 is separated from the support ring 22), with the bottom of the storage bag 7 located at the bottom of the receiving cavity. The opening of the storage bag 7 is located at the support ring 22. Then, fold the opening of the storage bag 7 outwards, so that the opening of the storage bag 7 wraps around the support ring 22 from the inside, connecting the opening of the storage bag 7 to the support ring 22. Finally, cover the support ring 22 with the fixing ring 23. The bottom of the fixing ring 23 and the top of the support ring 22 cooperate to clamp and secure the opening of the storage bag 7. When the opening of the storage bag 7 is clamped and secured, putting items into the storage bag 7 will not cause the storage bag 7 to tip over. Figure 3 As shown.

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, after the items in the storage bag 7 are filled to a predetermined value, the entire storage bag 7 needs to be shrunk for easy transportation and storage. Therefore, in this embodiment, a vacuum module 3 is provided on the cover 12. The vacuum module 3 can be installed on the top of the cover 12 by configuring fasteners. The vacuum module 3 includes a vacuum pump, and the port of the vacuum pump is provided with a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe passes through the cover 12 and extends to the bottom of the cover 12. When the cover 12 is closed, the pipe faces the storage bag 7 and extends into the interior of the storage bag 7.

[0049] Meanwhile, to ensure the airtightness of the opening of the storage bag 7 and prevent excessive air leakage during vacuuming, in this embodiment, after the storage bag 7 is fixed by the support frame 2, the opening of the storage bag 7 is located at the opening position of the receiving cavity. Then, when the cover 12 is placed on the receiving component 11, the bottom of the cover 12 can contact the opening of the storage bag 7. The opening of the storage bag 7 is sealed by the fixing ring 23 and the inner bottom of the cover 12, keeping the inside of the storage bag 7 closed. After the storage bag 7 is sealed, the vacuum module 3 can vacuum the inside of the storage bag 7, causing the storage bag 7 to quickly shrink and its volume to decrease.

[0050] It should be noted that while the above discloses a sealing method for the storage bag 7, other sealing methods may also be used in some embodiments. For example: Figure 5As shown, the vacuum pump can be installed externally or on the receiving component 11 instead of on the cover 12. The vacuum pump is then connected to the cover 12 via a connecting pipe that passes through the cover 12 to its underside. The cover 12 is movably mounted on the receiving component 11. When the cover 12 is closed onto the receiving component 11, it also seals the opening of the storage bag 7. The connecting pipe is preferably a flexible pipe that can deform during the rotation of the cover 12, ensuring that the connecting pipe remains connected to the cover 11 at all times.

[0051] To improve the sealing effect of the cover 12 on the storage bag 7, a sealing ring 12a is provided at the bottom of the cover 12 in this embodiment. Specifically, the sealing ring 12a can be a rubber ring. The size of the rubber ring is adapted to the size of the fixing ring 23. When the cover 12 is placed on the receiving component 11, the sealing ring 12a at the bottom of the cover 12 contacts the top of the fixing ring 23, and the rubber ring deforms to achieve a better sealing effect between the bottom of the cover 12 and the fixing ring 23.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the thermoplastic sealing module 4 in this embodiment is preferably a thermoplastic sealing mechanism. The thermoplastic sealing mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged heat-sealing plates and a driver that drives the two heat-sealing plates to move closer together. In this embodiment, the driver can be a drive cylinder or a linear drive module. The driver is fixedly mounted on the frame; in practice, it can be connected by welding or fasteners. The heat-sealing plates are then connected to the drivers. The two drivers work together to drive the two heat-sealing plates closer together, thereby achieving thermoplastic sealing of the opening of the storage bag 7; the two drivers can also drive the two heat-sealing plates away from each other to prevent the heat-sealing plates from affecting the insertion of items into the storage bag 7.

[0053] In this embodiment, the preferred driver is a linear drive module, which includes a slide rail, a slider, a lead screw, and a drive motor. The slider is mounted on the slide rail and can slide along the slide rail. The lead screw is also mounted on the slide rail and is threadedly connected to the slider through a threaded hole. When the lead screw rotates, the slider can move along the slide rail. The drive motor is mounted on the slide rail and can drive the lead screw to rotate in either the forward or reverse direction. The structure of the linear drive module can refer to existing linear drive modules. In this embodiment, the heat-sealing plate is fixedly connected to the slider; in practice, this can be achieved by configuring fasteners. In this embodiment, when the slider slides, the heat-sealing plate moves accordingly.

[0054] In this embodiment, the two linear drive modules are preferably installed on the same inner wall of the receiving cavity to avoid interference from the support frame 2 on the opposite side. Simultaneously, since the two heat-sealing plates need to be at the same horizontal level to cooperate in heat sealing, to avoid interference between the two linear drive modules, they are arranged vertically on the same side in this embodiment. The slider on the lower side is equipped with a corner piece, which connects the slider to the heat-sealing plate. The corner piece ensures that the two heat-sealing plates are at the same horizontal level.

[0055] After the thermoplastic sealing mechanism is used to seal the opening of the storage bag, the bag is divided into an upper and lower section at the sealing point. To facilitate removal of the storage bag, the upper and lower sections can be separated using a knife. This breaks the vacuum environment at the top of the bag, preventing the upper part from interfering with opening the lid and removing the bag.

[0056] It should be noted that: In this embodiment, the sealing module 4 adopts a thermoplastic sealing mechanism, but there are many other sealing mechanisms in the prior art. Therefore, in some other embodiments, the sealing module 4 can adopt other sealing mechanisms in the prior art.

[0057] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method: The storage bag 7 is fixed to the support frame 2 to load items. After loading, the cover 12 closes onto the receiving component 11, sealing the storage bag 7. Once the storage bag 7 is sealed, the vacuum module 3 is opened, allowing the storage bag 7 to shrink. After the storage bag 7 has shrunk, the sealing module 4 seals it. After sealing, the storage bag 7 can be removed from the side opening 13.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] This disclosure improves upon embodiment 1, such as... Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment also includes a weighing module 5, which is specifically an electronic weighing device, installed at the bottom of the receiving cavity. When the storage bag 7 is inside the receiving cavity, the bottom of the storage bag 7 is positioned on the weighing module 5. The weighing module 5 weighs the storage bag 7.

[0060] To mark the weight of the storage bag 7, this embodiment also includes a label printer 6 installed on the outer wall of the container 1. The label printer 6 is electrically connected to the weighing module 5. After the weighing module 5 weighs the storage bag 7, the label printer 6 can print a corresponding label.

[0061] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here.
