[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the food vacuum packaging Roots screw vacuum unit with a cooling device provided in this embodiment includes a support frame 1. A screw vacuum pump 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support frame 1. A connecting sleeve 4 is fixedly installed on one end of the screw vacuum pump 2. A Roots vacuum pump 3 is installed above the connecting sleeve 4. A sealing assembly 5 is provided between the connecting sleeve 4 and the Roots vacuum pump 3. A circulation assembly 6 is provided above the support frame 1 and behind the screw vacuum pump 2. The circulation assembly 6 includes a circulation pump 62. A support plate 66 is fixedly installed on the circulation pump 62 and the support plate 66 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support frame 1. A liquid storage tank 61 is provided above the support plate 66. A connecting pipe 64 is provided inside both the screw vacuum pump 2 and the Roots vacuum pump 3.

[0024] Better, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the upper end of the storage tank 61 has an inlet, and the upper end of the circulating pump 62 is connected to two outlet pipes 63. The two outlet pipes 63 are respectively connected to the inside of the screw vacuum pump 2 and the Roots vacuum pump 3. One end of each outlet pipe 63 is connected to a connecting pipe 64. One end of the connecting pipe 64 passes through the outer wall of the pump body and is provided with a return pipe 65. One end of the return pipe 65 is connected to the inside of the storage tank 61. The connecting pipe 64 inside the Roots vacuum pump 3 has the same shape as the connecting pipe 64 inside the screw vacuum pump 2.

[0025] The circulating pump 62 on the outer wall of the drive support plate 66 operates, drawing coolant from the storage tank 61 through two outlet pipes 63. The coolant is then distributed to various locations on the two pump bodies through two connecting pipes 64, and finally flows back into the storage tank 61 through two return pipes 65. The coolant circulates within the pump body, carrying away heat. The connecting pipes 64 facilitate the flow of coolant to the locations on each pump body requiring cooling. The Roots vacuum pump 3 and the screw vacuum pump 2 are made of high-strength cast iron and steel, possessing excellent sealing and mechanical strength. The combination of the Roots vacuum pump 3 and the screw vacuum pump 2 fully leverages their advantages, achieving high pumping speeds over a wide pressure range. This allows for rapid extraction of air from the food packaging cavity, improving packaging efficiency and meeting the needs of large-scale food production enterprises.

[0026] Better, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing assembly 5 includes a first connecting pipe 51 and a second connecting pipe 52. The first connecting pipe 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the Roots vacuum pump 3, and the second connecting pipe 52 is fixedly installed inside the connecting sleeve 4. The outer walls of the first connecting pipe 51 and the second connecting pipe 52 are threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 53. A limiting groove 55 is opened inside one end of the second connecting pipe 52. A sealing ring 57 is fixedly installed inside the limiting groove 55. A rubber gasket 56 is attached to the top of the sealing ring 57. The sealing ring 57 and the rubber gasket 56 are adapted to the size of the limiting groove 55. A top cover plate 54 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting pipe 51. A snap ring 58 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the top cover plate 54. The snap ring 58 snaps into the limiting groove 55.

[0027] By connecting the first connecting pipe 51 on the Roots vacuum pump 3 to the second connecting pipe 52 on the connecting sleeve 4, the snap ring 58 on the bottom cover plate 54 of the first connecting pipe 51 is pressed into the upper limit groove 55 of the second connecting pipe 52, which facilitates the interlocking of the two connecting pipes. The snap ring 58 is pressed against the rubber gasket 56 and the sealing ring 57 to seal each other. Finally, the threaded sleeve 53 is rotated on the second connecting pipe 52 to limit and fix the upper cover plate 54, which facilitates the relatively sealed connection at the interface of the screw vacuum pump 2 and the Roots vacuum pump 3 and prevents gas leakage. The connecting pipe is usually made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and sealing performance. By setting materials such as rubber gasket 56 and sealing ring 57, the connection between the two connecting pipes has good elasticity and sealing performance.

[0028] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows: When the Roots vacuum pump 3 and the screw vacuum pump 2 are working, the compressed gas generates a large amount of heat. At this time, an external power supply is connected, and the operator drives the circulation pump 62 on the outer wall of the support plate 66 to operate. This pump draws the coolant from the storage tank 61 out through the two outlet pipes 63, then distributes the coolant to various locations in the two pump bodies through the two connecting pipes 64, and finally returns it to the storage tank 61 through the two return pipes 65. The coolant circulates within the pump body, carrying away heat. This process is repeated using the circulation pump 62, facilitating rapid cooling of the screw vacuum pump 2 and the Roots vacuum pump 3, thus extending their service life. When vacuum packaging food, the vacuum unit often needs to be connected via connecting pipes. By connecting the first connecting pipe 51 on the Roots vacuum pump 3 to the second connecting pipe 52 on the connecting sleeve 4, the snap ring 58 on the bottom cover plate 54 of the first connecting pipe 51 is pressed into the upper limit groove 55 of the second connecting pipe 52, which facilitates the interlocking of the two connecting pipes. The snap ring 58 is pressed against the rubber gasket 56 and the sealing ring 57 to seal. Finally, the threaded sleeve 53 is rotated on the second connecting pipe 52 to limit and fix the upper cover plate 54, which facilitates the relatively sealed connection at the interface of the screw vacuum pump 2 and the Roots vacuum pump 3, prevents gas leakage, and improves the stability of food vacuum packaging.

For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
