Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of convenient food packaging technology, and in particular to a packaging device for convenient food. Background Technology

[0002] Convenience foods refer to processed, pre-packaged or canned foods that can be eaten directly or with simple heating or brewing. They are convenient, time-saving, and easy to store, and can meet people's needs for convenient food in a fast-paced life.

[0003] To address the issue of excessive space occupied by air generated during sealing, some existing technologies use a pusher block that reciprocates between two limiting plates, causing the buffer pad and pressure block to squeeze out excess gas from the food bag. However, in actual use, the linear reciprocating motion of the pusher block and pressure block is insufficient to cover the edges or folds of the food bag, especially when the food inside the bag is irregularly piled up. The limited contact area between the pressure block and the bag surface results in corner gas not being effectively squeezed out.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a packaging device for convenient food. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a convenient food packaging device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a packaging device for convenient food, including a conveyor belt and a support assembly, wherein the support assembly includes a support frame fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the conveyor belt, a lifting device body is installed at the top end of the support frame, and a cross frame is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting device body.

[0007] The elastic component includes a support column fixedly connected to the bottom end of the crossbeam, an airbag installed inside the support column, a movable column slidably connected to the bottom end of the support column, and an adjustment component inside the elastic component.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, connecting plates are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two crossbeams.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes a locking plate slidably connected inside the support column, the outer side of the locking plate engaging with the outer side of the airbag.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting post is fixedly connected to the end of the card plate away from the airbag, and a threaded post is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting post away from the card plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer thread of the threaded post is threaded into the inside of the support post, and a rotating block is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded post away from the card plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a push air cushion is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable column.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention allows the operator to rotate a rotating block, causing a threaded column fixedly connected to the block to rotate within a support column. Because the threaded column is threadedly connected to the support column, it causes the connecting column to move axially along the support column, thereby allowing the clip plate to slide within the support column to change its engagement position with the airbag. During packaging, the air cushion, under pressure, causes the movable column to slide upwards within the support column, squeezing the airbag. The elastic force generated by the airbag causes the movable column to return to its original position, allowing the air cushion to apply elastic force evenly to the packaging material. This design achieves the advantages of adjustable elastic force of the elastic component, adjustable position of the packaging mechanism according to packaging height requirements, and the air cushion's ability to buffer impact and tightly adhere to the packaging material. This results in more even pressure application, effective coverage of edges and wrinkles, improved gas expulsion, and reduced gas residue in corners. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a packaging device for convenient food, including a conveyor belt 1 and a support component 2. The support component 2 includes a support frame 21 fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the conveyor belt 1. A lifting body 22 is installed at the top end of the support frame 21. A cross frame 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting body 22. A connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the two cross frames 23.

[0027] The conveyor belt 1 is the basic transmission part of the entire packaging device, used to continuously transport convenience food to the packaging station. The convenience food can move on the conveyor belt 1 in a certain order and speed, providing a stable material supply for subsequent packaging operations. The support frame 21, as the main support structure of the entire packaging device, is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the conveyor belt 1, providing the installation foundation and stable support for the lifting body 22 and other related components. The lifting body 22 can drive the cross frame 23 and the connected elastic component 3 to move up and down through its own lifting function. This allows the entire packaging mechanism to be adjusted according to the different height requirements of the convenience food packaging, such as adapting to different types and sizes of packaging materials or performing sorting operations after packaging. The cross frame 23, as a connecting component, connects the lifting body 22 at the top of the two support frames 21 and provides a fixing point for the installation of the elastic component 3, so that the elastic component 3 can be stably installed on the device and cooperate with the convenience food packaging operation on the conveyor belt 1. The connecting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cross frame 23, further enhancing the structural strength and stability of the cross frame 23.

[0028] like Figure 2 - Figure 5 As shown, the elastic component 3 includes a support column 31 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cross frame 23, an airbag 32 installed inside the support column 31, a movable column 33 slidably connected to the bottom end of the support column 31, and a push air cushion 34 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable column 33.

[0029] As the main structural component of the elastic component 3, the support column 31 provides installation and housing space for internal components such as the airbag 32 and the movable column 33. At the same time, it also plays a certain supporting role. It works with the movable column 33 to achieve the elastic function. The airbag 32 is filled with gas. When it is under pressure, the gas is compressed, thereby generating elastic force. It can buffer the impact force generated during the packaging process of convenience food. For example, when the packaging material is pressed or sealed, it reduces the squeezing damage to the food. The movable column 33 is slidably connected to the support column 31 and can move up and down within the support column 31. When the airbag 32 is compressed or released, the movable column 33 moves accordingly, thereby transmitting the elastic force generated by the airbag 32 to the push air cushion 34, pushing the push air cushion 34 to perform pressing, shaping, etc. Driven by the movable column 33, the push air cushion 34 directly contacts and acts on the convenience food packaging material. It can evenly apply the elastic force generated by the elastic component 3 to the packaging material to complete the key operations in the packaging process, such as tightly fitting the packaging material around the food to ensure the sealing and stability of the packaging.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic component 3 is internally provided with an adjustment component 4. The adjustment component 4 includes a locking plate 41 slidably connected inside the support column 31, and the outer side of the locking plate 41 engages with the outer side of the airbag 32. A connecting column 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking plate 41 away from the airbag 32, and a threaded column 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting column 42 away from the locking plate 41. The outer side of the threaded column 43 is threadedly connected to the inside of the support column 31, and a rotating block 44 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded column 43 away from the locking plate 41.

[0031] The outer side of the locking plate 41 engages with the outer side of the airbag 32, thus fixing and restricting the position of the airbag 32. Simultaneously, it connects to the connecting post 42, allowing the airbag 32 to be linked to subsequent adjustment structures, facilitating the adjustment of the airbag 32's state. The connecting post 42, as a connecting component, connects the locking plate 41 to the threaded post 43, enabling the locking plate 41 to move as the threaded post 43 rotates. This allows the position of the locking plate 41 to be changed by adjusting the threaded post 43, thereby affecting the compression degree and elastic force of the airbag 32. The outer thread of the threaded column 43 is connected to the inside of the support column 31. When the threaded column 43 is rotated, due to the thread engagement, the threaded column 43 will move along the axial direction of the support column 31. This movement is transmitted to the clamping plate 41 through the connecting column 42, thereby changing the clamping position of the clamping plate 41 on the airbag 32 and adjusting the compression of the airbag 32. The rotating block 44 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded column 43 away from the clamping plate 41, which makes it convenient for the operator to rotate the threaded column 43. It provides the operator with a component that is easy to hold and apply force, making the adjustment operation of the elastic component 3 more convenient.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown:

[0034] In use: First, the operator rotates the rotating block 44. Since the rotating block 44 is fixedly connected to the threaded column 43, it drives the threaded column 43 to rotate inside the support column 31. Because the outer side of the threaded column 43 is threadedly connected to the inside of the support column 31, it can drive the connecting column 42 to move axially along the support column 31, thereby driving the card plate 41, which is fixedly connected to the connecting column 42, to slide inside the support column 31, changing the engagement position of the card plate 41 with the airbag 32, thus adjusting the compression degree of the airbag 32, and adjusting the elastic force of the elastic component 3. When it is necessary to package convenience foods of different heights, the lifting device body 22 works. Since the bottom end of the lifting device body 22 is fixedly connected to the cross frame 23, it drives the cross frame 23 to move up and down. The cross frame 23 is supported by the support column. When 31 is connected to the elastic component 3, it can drive the support column 31, the movable column 33, and the air cushion 34 to rise and fall as a whole, thereby moving the air cushion 34 to a suitable height. This achieves the effect of adjusting the position of the packaging mechanism according to the packaging height requirements. During the packaging process, the air cushion 34 comes into contact with the convenience food packaging material and is subjected to pressure. The pressure is transmitted to the movable column 33, which is slidably connected to the support column 31. This causes the movable column 33 to slide upward within the support column 31, squeezing the internal air bladder 32. The compressed air bladder 32 generates elastic force, which drives the movable column 33 to return to its original position. This causes the air cushion 34 to apply the elastic force evenly to the packaging material, achieving the effects of buffering impact force and tightly fitting the packaging material to ensure that the gas inside the packaging can be stably released.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
