[0004] By setting up two workstations, a cross-cutting station and a longitudinal cutting station, the beef can be cut into both cross-cutting and longitudinal cutting. This method has low cost and high practicality.

[0005] The above-mentioned equipment still uses the conventional beef jerky packaging process. The specific process is as follows: First, a stretching module needs to be set in the forming mold. The beef jerky is placed in the forming mold and then covered with film for sealing. After that, the air needs to be vented. Finally, it is cut into small packages of beef jerky. This method designs the packaging, venting and cutting of beef jerky separately. The processing steps need to be carried out sequentially, which increases the time consumption of the beef jerky packaging process and requires a longer equipment production line in terms of overall structure.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This implementation plan includes a packaging machine body 1. A forming mold 7 for placing beef jerky is installed at the center of the top of the packaging machine body 1. A pressing plate 9 is dynamically raised and lowered above the packaging machine body 1 and corresponds to the forming mold 7. When the pressing plate 9 descends and presses against the forming mold 7, the upper and lower films seal the beef jerky, and simultaneously perform degassing and cutting processes, reducing the time consumed in the beef jerky packaging process and shortening the length of the production line.

[0030] To achieve the lifting and lowering of the pressing plate 9, four sets of guide plates 11 are installed on both sides of the main body 1 of the packaging machine. The connecting blocks 10 are installed on both sides of the pressing plate 9, and the guide plates 11 and the connecting blocks 10 are movably connected.

[0031] To ensure the correct positioning of the upper and lower films, the upper film roller 12 and the upper film waste roller 13 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the pressing plate 9 via brackets. These rollers release the upper film waste generated after winding and cutting, with the upper film between them covering the bottom of the pressing plate 9. The lower film roller 2 and the lower film waste roller 3 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the packaging machine body 1 via brackets. These rollers release the lower film waste generated after winding and cutting, with the lower film between them covering the upper surface of the forming mold 7. The brackets are detachably connected to the pressing plate 9 and the packaging machine body 1, using bolts, snap-fit ​​connections, or other methods.

[0032] To achieve the separation of the upper and lower films, the forming mold 7 has a forming groove 17 and a cutting groove 18. The pressing plate 9 is hollow inside and open at the bottom, and the pressing block 20 and the cutter 21 are installed inside the pressing plate 9. The beef jerky is manually placed on the lower film and corresponding to the forming groove 17. When the pressing plate 9 is pressed on the forming mold 7, the pressing block 20 presses the beef jerky and its corresponding lower film into the forming groove 17 through the upper film, and the cutter 21 simultaneously enters the cutting groove 18, thereby separating the upper and lower films at the same time.

[0033] The pressing block 20 is made of flexible material. When the pressing block 20 presses the beef jerky into the forming groove 17, the beef jerky will be embedded in the pressing block 20. The upper film will completely fit the outer contour of the beef jerky and make the upper film and lower film contact each other.

[0034] To achieve the exhaust process after the beef jerky is packaged, an air cavity 22 is opened in the pressing plate 9, an inner cavity 25 is opened inside the cutter 21, a fan 15 is installed on the top of the pressing plate 9 and its output end is connected to the air cavity 22. After the cutter 21 is inserted into the cutting groove 18, the forming groove 17, the inner cavity 25 and the air cavity 22 are connected.

[0035] By activating the blower 15, air can be extracted from the forming tank 17. This means that the air between the upper and lower membranes corresponding to a single beef jerky in the forming tank 17 can also be extracted, achieving the exhaust effect.

[0036] The pressing plate 9 continuously applies pressure to the forming mold 7, while the pressing block 20 further promotes the adhesion between the upper and lower films until they are fully pressed together, thus completing the packaging of the beef jerky. The packaging, degassing, and cutting of the beef jerky are carried out simultaneously.

[0037] In this embodiment, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the center position of the top of the pressing plate 9. Starting the hydraulic cylinder 16 can drive the pressing plate 9 to rise and fall. The hydraulic cylinder 16 is an external drive unit and is connected to an external hydraulic system. The end of the hydraulic cylinder 16 is installed with an external fixing frame.

[0038] In this embodiment, the second motor 14 provides winding power to the upper film waste roller 13. During winding, the upper film waste synchronously drives the upper film roller 12 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of releasing the upper film. The first motor 4 provides winding power to the lower film waste roller 3. During winding, the lower film waste synchronously drives the lower film roller 2 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of releasing the lower film.

[0039] The transition roller 5 and the support roller 6 are rotatably mounted on the side of the top of the packaging machine body 1 through the same mounting frame, providing a stable conveying effect for the lower film and ensuring its support effect. The highest point of the support roller 6 is at the same level as the upper surface of the forming mold 7, so that the lower film adheres to the upper surface of the forming mold 7 during the release process and does not have much friction with the forming mold 7, thus preventing wear of the lower film. The transition roller 5 and the support roller 6 are set on both sides of the top of the packaging machine body 1 and the installation structure is consistent.

[0040] The lowest points of the upper film roller 12 and the upper film waste roller 13 are at the same level as the bottom of the pressing plate 9, so that the upper film adheres to the bottom of the pressing plate 9 during the release process and does not have much friction with the pressing plate 9, thus preventing wear of the upper film.

[0041] The mounting brackets are all detachably connected to the main body 1 of the packaging machine, which can be done by bolts, clips, or other means.

[0042] In this embodiment, the forming groove 17 is located at the center of the cutting groove 18, and the pressing block 20 is located at the center of the cutter 21. The forming groove 17 and the cutting groove 18 correspond to the positions of the pressing block 20 and the cutter 21, respectively.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heating device 8 is installed on the top of the packaging machine body 1. The heating device 8 preheats the passing lower film to keep it soft. When the upper film is bonded to the lower film, the upper film can also become soft due to the temperature of the lower film.

[0044] In this embodiment, a circular hole 23 and an opening 24 are provided inside the air cavity 22. The inner cavity 25 and the air cavity 22 are connected through the opening 24. An air inlet 26 is provided on the inner wall of the cutter 21. An exhaust port 19 is provided between the forming groove 17 and the cutting groove 18. When the cutter 21 is inserted into the cutting groove 18, the air inlet 26 and the exhaust port 19 correspond to each other.

[0045] In this embodiment, the pressure block 20 has a perforation in the center and is connected to the round hole 23. After the beef jerky is packaged, vented, and cut, the fan 15 continues to run. Air enters the air chamber 22 through the perforation, and a negative pressure is formed at the end of the perforation, causing the packaged beef jerky to adhere to the bottom of the pressure block 20, which causes the pressing plate 9 to rise. This simultaneously lifts the packaged beef jerky. After that, the fan 15 is turned off, and the beef jerky is removed from the pressure block 20. The packaged beef jerky can then be received by the staff using a tray or other receiving tools.

[0046] As another embodiment of the hydraulic cylinder 16, the hydraulic cylinder 16 can be replaced by a drive device such as a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0047] Alternatively, the hydraulic cylinder 16 can be removed, and the guide plate 11 can be replaced with a telescopic rod with sufficient power. Electric telescopic rods, hydraulic telescopic rods, and other devices are all acceptable.

[0048] As another embodiment of the heating device 8, the heating device 8 can be other temperature-controllable heating devices, such as infrared heating devices, electric heating devices, etc.

[0049] As another embodiment of the fan 15, the fan 15 can be other devices that can transport airflow, such as a vacuum pump;

[0050] As another embodiment of the pressing block 20, the flexible material used to prepare the pressing block 20 can be silicone, rubber, etc.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
