Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food packaging technology, specifically to a soft bag flipping and clamping mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Due to packaging requirements, the arrangement of products during the packing process dictates that they must be placed in a specific manner before being lined up and packed. However, during the initial production and transportation stages, the product placement is often chaotic and uncertain. This results in defective products due to human error and relatively low efficiency. For example, with packaged potato chips, if flat bags are to be turned vertically for easier packing, using a robotic arm to force rotation would cause the fragile chips to break. Manual sorting and turning, on the other hand, requires a large workforce and is inefficient. Utility Model Content
