Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of packaging device technology, and in particular to a packaging device for packaging airline meals. Background Technology

[0002] In-flight meals, also known as airline meals, are the food and drinks served to passengers on commercial airliners during their flights. The menus for in-flight meals are determined by the airlines and are generally supplied by designated catering providers. These meals are prepared near the airport and transported directly to the aircraft. During the flight, when the aircraft is stable, flight attendants distribute them to passengers on trolleys. In-flight meals vary in menu, portion size, and cost depending on the class of service.

[0003] Airline meal packaging boxes require sealing. However, existing airline meal packaging involves manually pinching aluminum foil onto the meal box, which is a complicated process and reduces the efficiency of airline meal packaging. Therefore, in order to correct the above-mentioned defects, we propose a packaging device for airline meal packaging. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a packaging device for airline meals to solve the problem that airline meals are packaged by manually pinching aluminum foil onto the meal box, which is complicated and reduces the efficiency of airline meal packaging.

[0005] This application provides a packaging device for airline meals, including a base plate: a rectangular groove is provided on the top of the base plate, and a positioning plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plate. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod passes through the positioning plate and is fixedly connected to a heating chamber. An electric heating tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating chamber, and a heating mechanism is provided below the heating chamber. A limiting plate is provided above the base plate, and a pair of limiting openings are provided on the limiting plate.

[0006] In some embodiments, the heating mechanism includes a pair of positioning tubes fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating chamber, and a connecting tube threadedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning tube. A hot plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting tube, and a heat-conducting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the hot plate, with the top end of the heat-conducting rod passing through the connecting tube.

[0011] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application. In order to better understand the technical means of the embodiments of this application and to implement them in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of this application more obvious and understandable, specific implementation methods of this application are described below.

[0012] 1. By setting up an electric telescopic rod, electric heating tube, hot press plate and limiting plate, the electric telescopic rod is activated, which drives the heating chamber to move. The heating chamber drives the hot press plate to move, thereby using the heat of the hot press plate to heat press the sealing cover, so that it is glued to the food box, improving the convenience of sealing the food box.

[0013] 2. By setting up the limiting plate, connecting pipe and positioning pipe, the limiting plate that matches the limiting port can be selected according to the shape of the airline meal box and placed on the base plate. Then, the bolts are tightened to fix the limiting plate. Then, a heat press plate of a suitable shape is selected and the connecting pipe on its top is screwed into the positioning pipe to complete the installation of the heat press plate, thereby improving the application range of the device.

[0014] 3. By setting up a temperature controller, temperature sensor, and hot press plate, the temperature of the hot press plate is monitored by the temperature sensor during use. When the temperature is too high, the signal is transmitted to the temperature controller. The temperature controller dynamically calculates and outputs a signal based on the deviation between the set value and the actual value, and adjusts the power of the electric heating tube.

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application provides a packaging device for airline meal packaging, including a base plate 1: a rectangular groove 2 is provided on the top of the base plate 1, and a positioning plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. An electric telescopic rod 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning plate 3. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 4 passes through the positioning plate 3 and is fixedly connected to a heating chamber 5. An electric heating tube 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heating chamber 5, and a heating mechanism is provided below the heating chamber 5. A limiting plate 7 is provided above the base plate 1, and a pair of limiting ports 8 are provided on the limiting plate 7.

[0029] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the heating mechanism can heat the hot pressing plate 11 to complete the hot pressing of the lunch box. The heating mechanism includes a pair of positioning tubes 9, which are fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating chamber 5. A connecting tube 10 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning tube 9. The hot pressing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting tube 10. A heat-conducting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the hot pressing plate 11. The top end of the heat-conducting rod 12 passes through the connecting tube 10. A temperature controller 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heating chamber 5, and a temperature sensor 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heating chamber 5. The temperature sensor 14, the temperature controller 13, and the electric heating tube 6 are electrically connected.

[0030] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the setting of bolts 15 facilitates the replacement of the limiting plate 7, thereby facilitating the positioning of lunch boxes of different shapes. Two pairs of bolts 15 pass through the limiting plate 7. The bottom plate 1 is provided with threaded grooves that match the bolts 15. The bottom of the bottom plate 1 is provided with anti-slip texture. The outer wall of the positioning plate 3 is provided with anti-slip texture. The width of the limiting plate 7 is equal to the inner cavity width of the positioning plate 3.

[0031] Working principle: In use, according to the shape of the airline meal box, select the appropriate limiting plate 7 that fits the limiting opening 8 and place it on the base plate 1. Then, tighten the bolts 15 to fix the limiting plate 7. Next, select a heat-pressing plate 11 of suitable shape and screw the connecting pipe 10 on its upper part into the positioning pipe 9 to complete the installation of the heat-pressing plate 11. Then, activate the electric heating tube 6, which generates heat and transfers the heat to the heat-pressing plate 11 through the heat-conducting rod 12. Finally, place the airline meal box into the limiting opening 8 and close the lid. The lid is sealed, and then the electric telescopic rod 4 is activated. The electric telescopic rod 4 drives the heating chamber 5 to move, and the heating chamber 5 drives the hot press plate 11 to move. Thus, the heat of the hot press plate 11 heats and presses the sealing lid, making it stick to the food box. During the use of the hot press plate 11, the temperature of the hot press plate 11 is monitored by the temperature sensor 14. When the temperature is too high, the signal is transmitted to the temperature controller 13. The temperature controller 13 dynamically calculates and outputs a signal based on the deviation between the set value and the actual value, and adjusts the power of the electric heating tube 6.
