Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vermicelli processing equipment, specifically to a vermicelli packaging and disinfection line. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, vermicelli, as a traditional delicacy, is widely loved by consumers. To ensure the quality and safety of vermicelli during transportation and storage, a thin film is usually wrapped around its surface during packaging to isolate it from external contamination and extend its shelf life. However, this film inevitably becomes contaminated with various microorganisms, dust, and other pollutants during production, transportation, and storage. If it is used directly for vermicelli packaging without sterilization, it will seriously threaten food safety. Therefore, sterilizing the film used for vermicelli packaging is a crucial step in ensuring food safety. Currently, most methods for disinfecting vermicelli packaging films employ a single-sided disinfection approach. This means that only one surface of the film can be disinfected at a time, and to achieve complete disinfection of both surfaces, the film must be flipped over and disinfected again. This significantly reduces production efficiency, extends the production cycle, and restricts the increase in vermicelli packaging capacity. Furthermore, it significantly increases energy consumption, raising production costs. Additionally, the film is at risk of secondary contamination during multiple operations. Therefore, we propose a vermicelli packaging disinfection line to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0003] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution: A vermicelli packaging and sterilization line, comprising: A base, wherein a rectangular frame is fixedly provided on the rear side of the middle part of the base; Two U-shaped plates are arranged in front of the rectangular frame, one above the other, and ultraviolet germicidal lamps are installed between the inner walls of the U-shaped plates. A driving mechanism is located inside the rectangular frame, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the two C-shaped plates to move closer or further apart; Mounting plates are fixed on both sides of the base. A drive motor is mounted on the upper back side of the mounting plate. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the mounting plate and is connected to a limit plate. The take-up reel is detachably mounted on the limiting plate, and the packaging film is wound into the groove of the take-up reel; A locking element is provided on the front of the limiting plate, and the locking element is used to prevent the winding wheel from disengaging from the limiting plate.

[0004] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a mounting rod rotatably connected between the inner sidewalls of the rectangular frame. The mounting rod has threads with opposite helical directions on both sides and is symmetrically connected to a slider. The slider has hinge plates hinged to both sides. A lifting plate is slidably connected between the inner sidewalls of the rectangular frame. The end of the hinge plate away from the slider is hinged to the lifting plate. The U-shaped plate is fixed to one side of the lifting plate.

[0005] Furthermore, the locking component includes a square plate fixed in the center of the front of the limiting plate, a square tube embedded in the center of the winding wheel, a pin hole on the surface of the square plate, and a pin threadedly connected to the side of the square tube outside the winding wheel, the pin being adapted to the size of the pin hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the length of the square plate is greater than the length of the square tube, and the number of pin holes is greater than three.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes an arc-shaped groove, which is fixed on the front side of the mounting plate, and the two ends of the winding wheel are slidably embedded inside the arc-shaped groove.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] This application provides a disinfection line for vermicelli packaging, mainly addressing the problems of existing technologies, which on the one hand significantly reduce production efficiency and extend the production cycle, thus restricting the increase in vermicelli packaging capacity; on the other hand, significantly increase the energy consumption of the equipment, raising production costs. Furthermore, the application addresses the risk of secondary contamination of the film during multiple operations. The following technical solution is provided, which will be discussed in conjunction with... Figures 1-3 Please provide a detailed explanation: A vermicelli packaging and sterilization line, comprising: Base 1, a rectangular frame 2 is fixedly provided on the rear side of the middle part of base 1; Two U-shaped panels 3 are set in front of the rectangular frame 2, and they are arranged opposite each other. Ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 are installed between the inner walls of the U-shaped panels 3. The drive mechanism 5 is located inside the rectangular frame 2. The drive mechanism 5 is used to drive the two U-shaped plates 3 to move closer or further apart. The drive mechanism 5 includes a mounting rod 501 rotatably connected between the inner walls of the rectangular frame 2. The mounting rod 501 has threads with opposite helical directions on both sides and is symmetrically connected to a slider 502. The slider 502 is hinged to both sides with a hinge plate 503. A lifting plate 504 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the rectangular frame 2. The end of the hinge plate 503 away from the slider 502 is hinged to the lifting plate 504. The U-shaped plates 3 are fixed to one side of the lifting plate 504. Mounting plate 6 is fixed on both sides of base 1. A drive motor 7 is mounted on the upper back side of mounting plate 6. The output shaft of drive motor 7 passes through mounting plate 6 and connects to limit plate 8. The take-up reel 10 is detachably mounted on the limit plate 8, and the packaging film is wound in the groove of the take-up reel 10; Locking element 9 is provided on the front of the limiting plate 8. Locking element 9 is used to prevent the winding wheel 10 from disengaging from the limiting plate 8. Locking element 9 includes a square plate 901 fixed in the middle of the front of the limiting plate 8. A square tube 902 is embedded in the middle of the winding wheel 10. The surface of the square plate 901 has a pin hole 9011. A pin 9021 is threadedly connected to the side of the square tube 902 located outside the winding wheel 10. The size of the pin 9021 is adapted to the pin hole 9011.

[0014] Workflow Description Step 1, Preparation Stage: A take-up reel 10 with a film wound on it is mounted on the surface of one of the limiting discs 8 via a locking member 9. The square tube 902 in the middle of the take-up reel 10 is fitted onto the surface of the square plate 901, and then the pin 9021 is tightened to engage with the pin hole 9011 on the square plate 901, thereby fixing the take-up reel 10. At the same time, an empty take-up reel 10 is mounted on the surface of the other limiting disc 8 in the same manner. Step 2, membrane installation stage: Start the drive mechanism 5 and rotate the mounting rod 501 connected between the inner walls of the rectangular frame 2. Due to the opposite spiral directions of the threads on both sides, the slider 502 connected by the symmetrical threads will move closer or further apart under the action of the threads. The movement of the slider 502 drives the hinge plate 503 to move. The hinge plate 503 then pushes the lifting plate 504 to slide between the inner walls of the rectangular frame 2, thereby causing the two U-shaped plates 3 fixed on one side of the lifting plate 504 to separate from each other by a suitable distance. At this time, manually pull the free end of the film so that it passes horizontally between the two U-shaped plates 3. The film passes through the end of the U-shaped plate 3 and is wound around the surface of the empty take-up wheel 10. Start the drive mechanism 5 again to make the two U-shaped plates 3 move closer to each other until a suitable disinfection distance is reached. The third step, the disinfection stage: Turn on the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 installed between the inner walls of the U-shaped plates 3. At the same time, start the drive motor 7 connected to the empty take-up reel 10. The output shaft of the drive motor 7 rotates, causing the limit plate 8 and the empty take-up reel 10 installed on it to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the film is gradually transferred from the take-up reel 10 with film on it to the empty take-up reel 10. During this transfer, the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 inside the upper and lower U-shaped plates 3 continue to work, sterilizing and disinfecting the upper and lower surfaces of the film at the same time.

[0015] This device uses a U-shaped plate 3 arranged vertically and internally equipped with ultraviolet germicidal lamps 4 to simultaneously disinfect both surfaces of the packaging film. Within the same timeframe, this disinfection line can disinfect more films, significantly shortening the production cycle and effectively increasing the production capacity of vermicelli packaging. By reducing energy consumption from repetitive operations such as flipping and disinfection, and completing disinfection in a shorter time, the overall operating time of the equipment is shortened, resulting in a significant reduction in energy consumption. Furthermore, this equipment completes double-sided film disinfection in one operation, reducing the number of times the film is exposed during operation, greatly reducing the risk of secondary contamination, and ensuring that the film used for vermicelli packaging remains relatively clean, thus effectively guaranteeing food safety.

[0016] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the length of the square plate 901 is greater than the length of the square tube 902, and the number of pin holes 9011 is greater than three. More specifically, in the vermicelli packaging and sterilization line, the design of the square plate 901 being longer than the square tube 902 and having more than three pin holes 9011 can improve the versatility of the device. The portion of the square plate 901 that extends beyond the square tube 902 provides more ample installation space. When facing winding wheels 10 of different lengths, the square plate 901 can provide a stable support base for the winding wheels 10, ensuring that the winding wheels 10 will not wobble or become unstable due to length differences after installation. The presence of multiple pin holes 9011 further enhances the adaptability to winding wheels 10 with different inner diameters. The square tube 902 of winding wheels 10 of different specifications has different lengths. By adjusting the pins 9021 inserted into the pin holes 9011 at different positions, winding wheels 10 with different inner diameters can be firmly fixed on the limiting plate 8.

[0017] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, an arc-shaped groove 11 is also included. The arc-shaped groove 11 is fixed on the front of the mounting plate 6, and the two ends of the take-up wheel 10 are slidably embedded in the arc-shaped groove 11. More specifically, during the operation of the vermicelli packaging and disinfection line, the arc-shaped groove 11 is fixed on the front of the mounting plate 6, and the two ends of the take-up wheel 10 are slidably embedded in it. This design effectively supports the take-up wheel 10 in many ways, preventing it from shaking during rotation. When installing the take-up wheel 10 during the equipment preparation stage, the arc-shaped groove 11 acts as a precise positioning track. The operator places the take-up wheel 10 on the front of the mounting plate 6, and its two ends can be easily embedded in the arc-shaped groove 11. With the guidance of the arc-shaped groove 11, the take-up wheel 10 can quickly and accurately reach the position to cooperate with the limiting plate 8 for installation, without the need for repeated position adjustments, which greatly improves the installation efficiency.

[0018] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, a support rod 12 is also included. The support rod 12 is rotatably connected to the side of the limiting disk 8 via a bearing. More specifically, when the film is transferred from the film-bearing take-up roller 10 to the empty take-up roller 10, the tension of the film will continuously change as the winding process progresses. Without effective support, the film is prone to slack due to its own weight, differences in winding speed, and other factors, affecting the stable transmission and disinfection effect of the film. The support rod 12 can lift the film with its own supporting force, keeping it in a certain tension state.

[0019] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
