Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of packaging machinery, specifically to a continuous transmission device for food packaging and a packaging machine containing the device. Background Technology

[0002] Packaging machines are devices used to package products into final sales units, with continuous transmission devices playing a crucial role. In food processing enterprises, the conveying of food raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products in food machinery production lines relies on manual handling or food conveyors. Traditional manual handling methods are labor-intensive for operators, have low conveying efficiency, and are prone to food contamination, posing hygiene risks. Existing food conveying devices generally consist of a single conveyor belt and conveyor hub. These conveyor belts have a large area, making it difficult to clean food residues accumulated during production, which can lead to mold and spoilage over time, affecting food quality. Therefore, a food conveying device that is easy to clean is needed.

[0003] CN110228690B discloses a food conveying device: The food conveying device comprises, from top to bottom, a conveyor belt, a washing device, and a turning device. The conveyor belt is composed of several independent conveyor strips. Cylindrical connecting posts are fixed at both ends of each conveyor strip. Each connecting post has six annular baffles. Adjacent connecting posts are connected by chain plates, and the connecting posts and their chain plates are rotatably connected. A turning gear is fixed at the end of each connecting post, and a square-faced locking post is fixed in front of the turning gear. The conveyor strips, connecting posts, turning gears, and locking posts are integrated and move simultaneously. Two transmission gears mesh with the chain below, and these transmission gears are located inside the entire conveyor belt.

[0004] The conveyor belt is fully extended so that its top and bottom are both on a horizontal plane. A fixed frame is attached to the base on the outer side of the chain. A gap exists in the middle of the fixed frame, through which a cuboid column on the reversing gear passes to ensure the stability of the conveyor strip and prevent rotation. A portion of a rack is located on the inner side of the lower left end of the annular fixed frame, where the reversing gear can mesh with the rack. Below the conveyor belt is a base, on which a support frame is fixed. A pipe is fixed to the support frame, with a water inlet at the bottom front of the pipe. The pipe extends into the conveyor belt, and several nozzles are located below the end of the pipe, with the length of each nozzle equal to the length of the conveyor strip. These nozzles are positioned above the rack. A drying decoration is located on the right side above the rack and fixed to the pipe (see appendix). Figure 1Through the above technical solution, it can automatically clean itself during use, avoiding manual cleaning, saving manpower and improving cleaning efficiency. This can prevent food residue from falling off during the conveying process from becoming moldy and spoiling, affecting food quality, and keeping the conveying device clean at all times.

[0005] While the aforementioned transmission device solves the problem of moldy and spoiled residue falling during the conveying process, affecting food quality and making cleaning difficult, it does not offer effective solutions to the problem of loose transmission belts in existing transmission mechanisms. Loose transmission belts can lead to unstable equipment movement, vibration or shaking, increased equipment wear, shortened equipment lifespan, and reduced product processing accuracy. Furthermore, it does not address the need for machine downtime for adjustments. Utility Model Content
