Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an air-filled sealing device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the food industry, gas-filled packaging technology has become an important part of food processing due to its significant advantages in extending the shelf life of food and maintaining product freshness. Gas-filled sealing devices effectively inhibit microbial growth and oxidation reactions by injecting inert gas (such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide) into the packaging bag and sealing it. It is widely used in the packaging of perishable foods such as puffed foods, dairy products, and ready-to-eat meats.

[0003] When inflating and sealing a food bag, the air inside the bag must first be extracted, inert gas must be injected, the inflation mechanism must be removed from the bag, and finally the sealing mechanism must be used to seal the bag. Existing sealing devices do not have a linked inflation and sealing mechanism; that is, two parts need to be operated separately, resulting in low inflation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides an air-filled sealing device for food processing, which solves the technical problem that the air-filling and sealing mechanisms of existing sealing devices cannot be linked, thus affecting the air-filling and sealing efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, the inflation / inflation mechanism includes a screw, a lifting rod, and a limiting vertical rod;

[0018] The screw is coaxially and fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor output shaft;

[0019] The lifting rod is threaded onto the outside of the screw rod. The lifting rod has a hollow structure.

[0034] To fully understand the purpose, features and effects of this utility model, the following specific embodiments will be used to describe this utility model in detail, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides an air-filled sealing device for food processing, comprising a workbench 1, a sealing mechanism 2, an air-filling mechanism 3, and a clamping mechanism 4. A support frame 5 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the workbench 1, and the sealing mechanism 2 is mounted on the support frame 5 for heat sealing the outer packaging of food.

[0036] The sealing mechanism 2 includes a motor 21, a worm gear 22, a worm 23, a first lead screw 24, a second lead screw 25, a first guide rod 26, a slider 27, and a heat sealing head 28. The motor 21 is fixed to the top of the support frame 5, and its output shaft passes through the top surface of the support frame 5 and extends into the interior of the support frame 5. The worm gear 22 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 21. The worm 23 is drive-connected to the worm gear 22. The first lead screw 24 and the second lead screw 25 are coaxially and fixedly connected to the ends of the worm 23, respectively. The first lead screw 24 and the second lead screw 25 are respectively provided with a forward thread and a reverse thread, and are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 5. The first guide rod 26 is arranged parallel to the worm 23, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 5. The slider 27 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 24 or the second lead screw 25. The slider 27 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the first guide rod 26. A heat seal head 28 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the slider 27.

[0037] The air-inflation mechanism 3 is linked to the sealing mechanism 2 and is used to inflate and sufflate the outer packaging of food. The air-inflation mechanism 3 includes a screw 31, a lifting rod 32, and a limiting vertical rod 33. The screw 31 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the bottom of the output shaft of the motor 21. The lifting rod 32 is threaded onto the outside of the screw 31. The lifting rod 32 has a hollow structure. The bottom of the lifting rod 32 is provided with an air intake head 321 and an air inflation head 322. The side wall of the lifting rod 32 is also provided with an air intake port 323 and an air inflation port 324, which are respectively connected to the air intake head 321 and the air inflation head 322. The side wall of the lifting rod 32 is provided with a vertically extending limiting groove 325. The bottom of the limiting vertical rod 33 is slidably engaged in the limiting groove 325, and the top of the limiting vertical rod 33 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support frame 5.

[0038] Clamping mechanism 4 is mounted on workbench 1 and is used to clamp the opening of food packaging. Two clamping mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged. Each clamping mechanism 4 includes a vertical plate 41, an insert rod 42, a second guide rod 43, a fixing frame 44, a flexible clamping piece 45, and a spring 46. The vertical plate 41 is fixedly connected to the top surface of workbench 1. The insert rod 42 is slidably inserted into the vertical plate 41, and a limiting ring 47 is fixedly provided at one end of the insert rod 42 away from the other clamping mechanism 4. The fixing frame 44 is fixedly connected to the end of the insert rod 42 away from the limiting ring 47. The fixing frame 44 is arranged laterally, and the second guide rod 43 is fixedly provided on the side of the fixing frame 44 near the vertical plate 41. The second guide rod 43 slidably passes through the vertical plate 41, and a flexible clamping piece 45 is bonded to the other side of the fixing frame 44. The spring 46 is sleeved on the insert rod 42, and both ends of the spring 46 abut against the vertical plate 41 and the fixing frame 44, respectively.

[0039] In use, motor 21 is started first. Motor 21 drives turbine 22 to rotate, turbine 22 drives worm gear 23 to rotate, and first lead screw 24 and second lead screw 25 rotate synchronously. The sliders 27 on the first lead screw 24 and second lead screw 25 move away from each other, causing the two heat sealing heads 28 to move away from each other. At the same time, motor 21 drives screw 31 to rotate. Since the limiting vertical rod 33 is inserted in the slide groove 325, the limiting vertical rod 33 can restrict the rotation of lifting rod 32, further causing lifting rod 32 to move downward. Lifting rod 32 drives air inflator 322 and air suction head 321 to move downward.

[0040] Then, connect the suction port 323 to the suction pump using a hose, and then connect the inflation port 324 to the inflation pump using another hose. Pull the limiting ring 47 to move the two flexible clips 45 away, and place the opening of the food bag containing the food over the outside of the bottom end of the lifting rod 32, then release the limiting ring 47. Under the restoring force of the spring 46, the flexible clips 45 press the opening of the food bag tightly, and there is a certain deformation at the inflation head 322 and the suction head 321.

[0041] First, the air is sucked out of the food bag using the suction head 321, and then the inflator head 322 fills the food bag with inert gas. After the food bag is filled with inert gas, the motor 21 is restarted and reversed. During this process, the lifting rod 32 rises, pulling the inflator head 322 and the suction head 321 out of the food bag. After the inflator head 322 and the suction head 321 leave the food bag, the two flexible clips 45 seal the opening of the food bag to prevent the inert gas from leaking out. At the same time, the two heat-sealing heads 28 move closer to each other until the opening of the food bag is heat-sealed.

[0042] The principle of the heat seal head 28 is to heat the food bag by using electrical energy, which is a common existing technology and is not limited in this application.

[0043] The flexible clips can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above-listed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. Of course, those skilled in the art can make modifications and variations to the present invention. If such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they should be considered as being within the protection scope of the present invention.
