Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) production technology, specifically to a vacuum packaging device for zongzi. Background Technology

[0002] Zongzi has gradually evolved into a seasonal food for the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi from different regions have their own characteristics in terms of ingredients, shape and flavor. With the fast pace of modern life, consumers' demand for convenient and safe food has increased. Zongzi has gradually developed from a seasonal food to a commodity that can be sold all year round, which puts forward higher requirements for preservation, transportation and storage. Vacuum packaging technology plays an irreplaceable role in zongzi production by removing air from the packaging, inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and extending the shelf life.

[0003] Existing external vacuum packaging equipment uses suction nozzles to extract air from the packaging bag before sealing it. Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are made primarily of glutinous rice, which undergoes high-temperature steaming and has a high degree of starch gelatinization. Components such as oil and sugar in the filling are prone to seeping out with temperature changes. These sticky substances tend to adhere to the inner wall of the packaging bag during the packaging process, causing stains to remain on the suction nozzles used to extract air from the bag. Subsequent vacuum packaging may result in contamination and compromise food safety.

[0004] Therefore, a vacuum packaging device for zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vacuum packaging device for zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] Furthermore, the number of clamping components is two and they are symmetrically arranged about the front and back of the moving block. Each clamping component includes a mounting sleeve, which is fixedly installed on the surface of the moving block. There are several mounting sleeves. A spring is fixedly installed on the inner wall surface of the mounting sleeve, and a clamping plate is fixedly installed on the end surface of the spring away from the mounting sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, the collection mechanism includes a collection trough, which is located on the top surface of the workbench. A protective plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the collection trough, and a guide strip is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the workbench. A collection frame is slidably installed on the surface of the guide strip.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective plate has through holes on its surface, and the number of through holes is several and they are evenly distributed on the surface of the protective plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide strips are in the form of three and are arranged around the edge of the collection groove, and the guide strips are in the form of an inverted "L" shape.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a vacuum packaging device for zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) includes a workbench 1, a vacuum machine 2 fixedly mounted on the surface of the workbench 1, a suction nozzle 3 on the surface of the vacuum machine 2, and a moving mechanism 4 on the top surface of the workbench 1. Figures 1 to 2As shown, specifically, the moving mechanism 4 includes a mounting block 401, which is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the workbench 1. There are two mounting blocks 401 arranged left and right. A motor 402 is fixedly mounted on the surface of one mounting block 401. A threaded rod 403 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 402. The threaded rod 403 is rotatably mounted between the opposite surfaces of the two mounting blocks 401. A guide rod 404 is fixedly mounted between the opposite surfaces of the two mounting blocks 401. A moving block 405 is threadedly fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod 403. The moving block 405 is slidably fitted onto the surface of the guide rod 404.

[0024] More specifically, the output end of the motor 402 rotates to drive the threaded rod 403 to rotate, thereby causing the moving block 405, which is threaded onto the surface of the threaded rod 403 and slidably mounted on the surface of the guide rod 404, to move left and right. This adjusts the different positions of the upper sponge strip 6 to perform friction cleaning on the air intake nozzle 3, reducing the replacement frequency of the upper sponge strip 6, extending the service life of the upper sponge strip 6, and reducing production costs.

[0025] The surface of the moving mechanism 4 is provided with a clamping component 5, such as... Figures 1 to 2 As shown, specifically, there are two clamping components 5, which are symmetrically arranged about the front and back of the moving block 405. The clamping components 5 include mounting sleeves 501, which are fixedly mounted on the surface of the moving block 405. There are several mounting sleeves 501. A spring 502 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall surface of the mounting sleeve 501. A clamping plate 503 is fixedly mounted on the end surface of the spring 502 away from the mounting sleeve 501.

[0026] More specifically, by pulling the clamping plate 503 to both sides, the spring 502 deforms under force, and the upper sponge strip 6 is placed between the opposite sides of the clamping plates 503. After releasing the clamping plate 503, the clamping plate 503 clamps and fixes the upper sponge strip 6 under the elastic restoring force of the spring 502. The replacement and installation of the upper sponge strip 6 are more convenient and conducive to improving work efficiency.

[0027] The clamping assembly 5 has an upper sponge strip 6 on its surface, the worktable 1 has a mounting groove 7 fixedly installed on its top surface, the mounting groove 7 has a lower sponge strip 8 slidably installed on its inner wall surface, and the worktable 1 has a collecting mechanism 9 on its bottom surface. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the collection mechanism 9 includes a collection trough 901, which is located on the top surface of the workbench 1. A protective plate 902 is fixedly installed on the surface of the collection trough 901. A guide strip 903 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the workbench 1. A collection frame 904 is slidably installed on the surface of the guide strip 903. The protective plate 902 has several through holes that are evenly distributed on its surface. There are three guide strips 903 that surround the edge of the collection trough 901. The guide strips 903 are in an inverted "L" shape.

[0028] More specifically, impurities generated after cleaning the suction nozzle 3 can fall through the protective plate 902 into the collection frame 904 below the workbench 1. The collection frame 904 collects the impurities for subsequent centralized processing. The through holes allow impurities to pass smoothly through the protective plate 902, while preventing other objects from falling, which helps ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The inverted "L"-shaped guide strip 903 provides better support for the collection frame 904 and facilitates the installation and removal of the collection frame 904, which helps improve work efficiency.

[0029] In summary: After completing a vacuum packaging operation, the suction nozzle 3 retracts into the vacuum machine 2, and cleans the suction nozzle 3 by contacting the upper sponge strip 6 and the lower sponge strip 8. The upper sponge strip 6 can be replaced, fixed, and moved by the cooperation of the moving mechanism 4 and the clamping component 5, which facilitates cleaning the suction nozzle 3 at different positions of the upper sponge strip 6, reduces the frequency of replacement of the upper sponge strip 6, and helps to extend the service life. The collection mechanism 9 can collect the impurities generated after cleaning the suction nozzle 3, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
