Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food packaging sterilization technology, and relates to a food packaging sterilization conveying tunnel and correction structure. Background Technology

[0002] The current food packaging sterilization and conveying process suffers from three major drawbacks due to the lack of an effective correction and guidance mechanism: food packaging is prone to lateral shifting or vertical tilting, resulting in uneven sterilization coverage, excessive microbial residues on some packaging surfaces, and increased food safety risks. These drawbacks stem from two aspects: from the perspective of process parameters, the effects of high temperature, high pressure, or chemical sterilizing agents during sterilization alter the physical properties of the packaging, and fluctuations in conveying speed further exacerbate packaging positional shifts.

[0003] There are two main conventional methods for addressing this issue: one is real-time manual monitoring and adjustment, where operators observe the packaging position at key points on the conveyor line and stop the machine or manually correct it upon detection of deviation; the other is installing fixed baffles on both sides of the conveyor track to physically limit the range of packaging deviation. However, both methods have significant drawbacks: manual adjustment not only increases labor costs but also has a slow response time, making it difficult to handle high-speed conveying scenarios. Furthermore, it may cause secondary deviations due to operator misjudgment or improper operation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a food packaging sterilization conveyor tunnel and correction structure to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a food packaging sterilization conveying tunnel and correction structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a food packaging sterilization conveying tunnel and correction structure, including: a retention area, a correction component and a food packaging body, wherein the retention area has a straight cross-section when viewed from above, and a set of guide areas for conveying the food body for food packaging sterilization is provided on the left side of the retention area.

[0006] The guiding area and the retention area are combined. The top-view cross-section of the guiding area is a quarter-circle structure. At the middle position where the guiding area and the retention area intersect, there is a set of correction components for providing correction and position guidance for the food packaging body. The correction components include a correction rod, a rotating shaft, a motor, and rubber side strips. The top-view cross-section of the correction rod is a triangular structure, and both the left and right sides of the correction rod are arc-shaped structures.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a set of rotating shafts for driving the rotation of the correction rod is inserted through the middle of the rear side of the correction rod. A set of motors for providing power to the lower end of the rotating shafts is provided. In actual use, the food packaging body to be sterilized is first placed in the straight channel of the retention area. Through the guiding effect of the quarter-circular structure of the guide area, the packaging body smoothly enters the sterilization area along an arc trajectory. When the food packaging body passes the intersection of the guide area and the retention area, the correction component is activated. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the triangular cross-section correction rod. Its two arc-shaped structures will dynamically contact the packaging body. Position calibration and direction correction are achieved through flexible friction. The rubber side strips provide buffer protection during the correction process to avoid damage to the packaging surface. Throughout the process, the correction component and the conveying system work together to ensure that the packaging body remains centered during the sterilization and conveying process, and finally completes the continuous and high-precision sterilization operation.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the motor drive end is locked and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft by a limiting nut. The motor is located at the lower end of the middle position where the conveying area and the retention area are separated, and is fixedly connected to the retention area and the bottom support frame of the conveying area by bolts.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the bottom support frame of the retention area and the guide area is provided with several sets of support feet for supporting the ground.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, several sets of conveying rollers for guiding the food packaging body are respectively provided at the bottom of the intersection and separation point of the guiding area and the retention area, and the several sets of conveying rollers are evenly distributed.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the outer sides of the retention area and the conveying area are provided with several sets of side anti-collision strips for external protection of the food packaging body inside, and the side anti-collision strips are set according to the specific shape of the retention area and the conveying area.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the side anti-collision strip is made of a rubber material and is positioned at a height 10cm above the upper end of the conveyor roller.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, each set of side anti-collision rubber strips has several sets of buffer blocks distributed on its outer side for supporting the position of the side anti-collision rubber strips. The several sets of buffer blocks are evenly distributed and are all connected to the side anti-collision rubber strips through two sets of damping rods. In actual use, before starting the equipment, check the locking status of the limit nuts of the motor drive end and the rotating shaft to ensure that the motor is firmly fixed to the support frame at the intersection of the guide area and the retention area by bolts. Place the food packaging body to be sterilized on the conveyor roller in the retention area. The even spacing of the conveyor rollers allows the packaging body to enter the guide area smoothly. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the correction rod. Its triangular cross section and the arc surface structure on both sides dynamically contact the packaging body, and the rubber side strips achieve flexible correction.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, the food packaging body to be sterilized is placed in the straight channel of the retention area. Through the guiding effect of the quarter-circular structure of the guide area, the packaging body smoothly enters the sterilization area along the arc trajectory. When the food packaging body passes the intersection and separation point of the guide area and the retention area, the correction component is activated. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the triangular cross-section correction rod. Its two sides of the arc surface structure will dynamically contact the packaging body. The position calibration and direction correction are achieved through flexible friction. The rubber side strip provides buffer protection during the correction process to avoid damage to the packaging surface. In the whole process, the correction component and the conveying system work together to ensure that the packaging body always remains in the center during the sterilization and conveying process, and finally completes the continuous and high-precision sterilization operation.

[0015] Before starting the equipment, check the locking status of the limit nuts on the motor drive end and the rotating shaft to ensure that the motor is firmly fixed to the support frame at the intersection of the conveying area and the retention area by bolts. Place the food packaging body to be sterilized on the conveying roller in the retention area. The uniform spacing of the conveying rollers allows the packaging body to enter the conveying area smoothly. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the correction rod. Its triangular cross section and the arc surface structure on both sides dynamically contact the packaging body, and the rubber side strips achieve flexible correction. Attached Figure Description
