Definitions
- the present invention relates to a detection method for detecting the closure of a lid in vacuum packing machines which can be applied to tabletop or free-standing vacuum packing machines.
- Vacuum packing machines basically consist of a vacuum pump (where the suction capacity of the pump is different depending on the model), a hood where the vacuum is generated, a sealing system, solenoid valves and an electronic or electromechanical control system.
- the food is introduced in a bag, which in turn is introduced in the hood of the packer.
- the packer then extracts air from the hood by means of a vacuum pump until reaching the level desired by the user.
- the bag is sealed and atmospheric pressure is restored in the chamber. Since the bag containing the food is sealed before restoring atmospheric pressure, it stays at the pressure desired by the user.
- Said machines usually have different models depending on the size of the food to be packed, the productivity to be obtained, or simply depending on the space where the packer is to be located, which results in the development of different machines that are larger in size (type of element to be packed) or different pumps with different suction flow rate values (depending on productivity and size).
- the user To start a packing cycle, the user must close the lid of the packer, and when the packer detects that the lid is lowered, it switches on the vacuum pump, suctioning out the air in the enclosure. It is therefore understood that a vacuum cycle starts when the lid is closed.
- a switch is used to detect the state of the lid. This switch can be visible in the upper portion, between a vat and the lid, or invisible, actuated by the hinge. This switch is connected to the control electronics of the packer which, upon receiving the signal that it has actuated, switches on the vacuum pump.
- Vacuum packers also comprise a vacuum sensor of the control electronics, the vat and the pump, which are pneumatically connected.
- the vacuum sensor can thereby detect changes in pressure in the vat due to the actuation of the pump. This allows the control electronics to determine the end of the vacuum cycle.

Description
- The present invention relates to a detection method for detecting the closure of a lid in vacuum packing machines which can be applied to tabletop or free-standing vacuum packing machines.
- Vacuum packing machines basically consist of a vacuum pump (where the suction capacity of the pump is different depending on the model), a hood where the vacuum is generated, a sealing system, solenoid valves and an electronic or electromechanical control system.
- To vacuum pack a food by means of one of these packers, the food is introduced in a bag, which in turn is introduced in the hood of the packer. The packer then extracts air from the hood by means of a vacuum pump until reaching the level desired by the user.
- Once the air is extracted, the bag is sealed and atmospheric pressure is restored in the chamber. Since the bag containing the food is sealed before restoring atmospheric pressure, it stays at the pressure desired by the user.
- Said machines usually have different models depending on the size of the food to be packed, the productivity to be obtained, or simply depending on the space where the packer is to be located, which results in the development of different machines that are larger in size (type of element to be packed) or different pumps with different suction flow rate values (depending on productivity and size).
- To start a packing cycle, the user must close the lid of the packer, and when the packer detects that the lid is lowered, it switches on the vacuum pump, suctioning out the air in the enclosure. It is therefore understood that a vacuum cycle starts when the lid is closed.
- In the current state of the art, a switch is used to detect the state of the lid. This switch can be visible in the upper portion, between a vat and the lid, or invisible, actuated by the hinge. This switch is connected to the control electronics of the packer which, upon receiving the signal that it has actuated, switches on the vacuum pump.
- Vacuum packers also comprise a vacuum sensor of the control electronics, the vat and the pump, which are pneumatically connected. The vacuum sensor can thereby detect changes in pressure in the vat due to the actuation of the pump. This allows the control electronics to determine the end of the vacuum cycle.

- With respect to switch-based lid detection systems, the main advantage of the present invention is a reduction in costs, greater ease of assembly and a higher reliability as movable parts are eliminated in the apparatus.
- To better understand what has been set forth, several drawings are attached in which a practical embodiment is schematically depicted merely by way of non-limiting example.
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a vacuum packing machine incorporating the detection system that carries out the method for detecting the actuation of a lid according to the present invention; -
Figure 2 is a block diagram of the steps of the detection method for detecting the actuation of a lid according to the present invention; -
Figure 3 is a diagram showing a correct detection process, wherein it is detected that the lid is closed; and -
Figure 4 is a diagram showing an incorrect detection process, wherein it is detected that the lid is open. - A vacuum packing machine comprising a detection system for detecting the actuation of the lid without the use of a switch is disclosed. According to the present invention, the vacuum sensor of the actual packing machine is used to detect that the user has closed the lid, and the vacuum cycle can thus start.
- As shown in
Figure 1 , the vacuum packing machine comprises: - a
vat 1, where the food to be vacuum packed is placed, - a
lid 2 provided with sealinggasket 3 and attached to thevat 1 by means of one ormore hinges 4, - a
vacuum pump 5 connected to thevat 1 by means of afirst suction tube 6, -
control electronics 7 provided with avacuum sensor 8, and - a
connection tube 9 connecting thevat 1 with thevacuum sensor 8. - The vacuum packing machine further comprises a chassis, casing, solenoid valves, sealing bar, transformer, etc., which, while necessary for the remaining functions of the packing machine, are conventional and not part of the present invention. Therefore, for the sake of simplicity, these additional elements of the packing machine will not be described in detail.
- As shown in
Figure 2 , thecontrol electronics 7 constantly monitors the value of thevacuum sensor 8. - When the user closes the
lid 2, because of the sealing of the sealinggasket 3 with thevat 1, a slight and rapid rise in the pressure value in thevat 1 takes place. - Since it is attached to the
vacuum sensor 8 by means of theconnection tube 9, thevacuum sensor 8 can detect this slight and sudden increase in pressure. - If this increase is within a certain interval of time T' and amplitude A', the control electronics switches on the
vacuum pump 5 for a time T. - Since the
vacuum pump 5 is connected to thevat 1 by means of thesuction tube 6, if thelid 2 is suitably closed, at the end of this time T thevacuum sensor 8 should detect a decrease in pressure of amplitude A in thevat 1. - If this drop in pressure has not occurred, it would mean that the
lid 2 has not been suitably closed, and thecontrol electronics 7 switches off thevacuum pump 5 and returns to the initial point of the detection algorithm. -
Figure 3 shows a correct detection process, in which an increase in pressure A' in an interval T', followed by a decrease in pressure A in an interval T, is detected. -
Figure 4 thereby shows a failed detection process, in which an increase in pressure A' in an interval T' is detected. It can be seen that at the end of time T, the pressure has not dropped below the amplitude A, so the pump is stopped and the original pressure is restored. - According to a preferred embodiment:
- 0 < T' < 1 s
- 0 < A' < 10 kPa
- 0<T< 10s
- 0 < A < 100 kPa
- As indicated above, with respect to switch-based lid detection systems, the main advantage of the present invention is a reduction in costs, greater ease of assembly and a higher reliability as movable parts are eliminated in the apparatus.
- Despite having made reference to a specific embodiment of the invention, it is evident to one skilled in the art that the described method is susceptible to a number of variations and modifications without departing from the scope of protection defined by the attached claims.
