Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of packaging machines, and in particular to an electrical quick-connect structure for a packaging machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for convenience foods is also increasing, driving the development of the food packaging industry. Packaging machines include heat-sealing mechanisms for heat-sealing trays, therefore, a circuit control module needs to be installed on the packaging machine to control the power supply to the heat-sealing mechanism.

[0003] A packaging machine in the related art includes a frame, an upper mold mechanism on the frame, a circuit fixed connector on the upper mold mechanism, and a circuit movable connector on the circuit fixed connector.

[0004] After the new upper mold mechanism is installed on the frame, the staff needs to manually assemble the movable circuit connector with the fixed circuit connector of the upper mold mechanism, which takes more assembly time and needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the time required for assembling electrical connectors, this application provides an electrical quick-connect structure for a packaging machine.

[0006] This application provides an electrical quick-connect structure for a packaging machine, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electrical quick-connect structure for a packaging machine, comprising:

[0008] The frame has an upper mold mechanism located below it;

[0009] The circuit fixing connector is set on the upper mold mechanism;

[0010] The movable circuit connector is mounted on the frame and can be plugged into the fixed circuit connector.

[0011] A lifting assembly, mounted on the frame, is used to lift the movable connector of the drive circuit.

[0012] The frame includes a support plate, and the upper mold mechanism includes a top plate disposed below the support plate and an upper mold base disposed below the top plate. The fixed circuit connector is disposed above the upper mold base, and the movable circuit connector and the lifting assembly are both disposed on the support plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the upper mold mechanism is installed on the frame, the movable circuit connector is aligned with the fixed circuit connector. The lifting component drives the movable circuit connector to descend, so that the movable circuit connector and the fixed circuit connector are plugged in and connected, realizing the electrical connection between the movable circuit connector and the fixed circuit connector, energizing the heat sealing mechanism, and enabling the upper mold mechanism to perform the heat sealing process. The above actions do not require the staff to manually install the circuit mechanism, which saves time.

[0014] Optionally, the upper end face of the fixed circuit connector is provided with a guide post, and the lower end face of the movable circuit connector is provided with a guide groove into which the guide post can be inserted.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting drive source drives the operating block to descend, causing the movable circuit connector on the operating block to descend together, and the movable circuit connector to be inserted and engaged with the fixed circuit connector, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the movable circuit connector and the fixed circuit connector.

[0018] Optionally, the operating block is provided with an operating hole through which the operating lever can pass.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, an operating hole is opened, allowing the operating block and the operating rod to slide relative to each other. This ensures that the operating block can only move along the axis of the operating rod, thus playing a guiding role. During the lifting and lowering of the operating block, the position of the moving circuit connector is not easily shifted.

[0020] Optionally, the operating lever is fitted with a spring, which is in a compressed state. One end of the spring abuts against the operating block, and the other end of the spring abuts against the operating plate.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring applies force to the operating block, making the connection between the movable circuit connector and the fixed circuit connector tighter and more stable.

[0022] Optionally, the operating block is provided with an air passage mechanism, which includes an air passage fixed connector disposed above the upper mold base. The lower end face of the operating block is provided with an insertion hole for the air passage fixed connector to be inserted, and an air passage movable connector is inserted into the end face of the insertion hole away from the upper mold base.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting drive source drives the operating block and the air passage movable connector to descend together, so that the air passage fixed connector is inserted into the socket, and the air passage movable connector and the air passage fixed connector are connected. The air passage movable connector, the socket, and the air passage fixed connector can be used to inflate the tray.

[0024] Optionally, a sealing ring groove is provided on the inner wall of the insertion hole, and a sealing ring block is provided in the sealing ring groove.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas path fixing connector is inserted into the socket, and the sealing ring block is sleeved on the outside of the gas path fixing connector, thereby improving the sealing performance between the gas path fixing connector and the operating block.

[0026] Optionally, the operating block is provided with a vacuum mechanism, the upper end face of the support plate is provided with a first fixing hole, the vacuum mechanism includes a vacuum connector inserted into the first fixing hole and a vacuum tube provided above the upper mold base, the top plate is provided with a second fixing hole aligned with the first fixing hole, and the vacuum tube can be inserted into the second fixing hole.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper mold mechanism is installed on the frame, aligning the vacuum tube with the vacuum connector. The vacuum equipment then performs a vacuuming process on the inside of the upper mold mechanism and the tray through the vacuum connector and the vacuum tube.

[0028] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. After the upper mold mechanism is installed on the frame, align the movable circuit connector with the fixed circuit connector. The lifting component drives the movable circuit connector to descend, allowing the movable circuit connector to plug into the fixed circuit connector and achieve electrical connection between them. This powers the upper mold mechanism, enabling it to perform the heat sealing process. The above actions do not require manual installation of the circuit mechanism by the operator, saving time.
