Description

Cabbage vacuum packaging device {Vacuum packaging device for napa cabbage}

The present invention relates to a cabbage vacuum packaging apparatus, and more particularly, to a cabbage vacuum packaging apparatus capable of forming a vacuum inside the vinyl by sucking the inside of the vinyl.

In general, a vacuum packaging machine is a device that heat-seals the inside of a plastic bag in which food or the like is stored in a vacuum state, so that the food or the like can be stored for a long time in a vacuum state. These vacuum packaging machines are generally classified into chamber type and nozzle type, and vacuum packaging machines having various structures are currently known. Then, after forming the inside of the plastic bag into a vacuum atmosphere, the vacuum packaging machine is equipped with a hot wire for sealing it. This vacuum packaging machine uses a plastic bag having an opening formed at one end.

A conventional chamber-type vacuum packaging machine includes a base member having a chamber formed on an upper surface, a cover member rotatably hinged to the base member, and a gasket mounted around the chamber. In such a vacuum packaging machine, when the chamber is closed by rotating the cover member, a portion adjacent to the hinge joint point between the cover member and the base member among the gasket portions is contacted first and a portion distant from the gasket is contacted last. Therefore, a region adjacent to the hinge coupling point receives a relatively large compressive force, and a region far from the hinge joint receives a relatively weak compressive force.

Due to this, when used for a long time, a portion of the gasket adjacent to the hinge coupling point is deformed by being pressed the most, resulting in a problem in that the sealing of the chamber is not well achieved.

In the following, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7, the structure of the cabbage vacuum packaging apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

Cabbage vacuum packaging apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is for cutting the cabbage (n) in one direction (hereinafter referred to as the transfer direction) and carrying the cabbage (n) in the upper side. The cutting part 1100, disposed at the rear end of the cutting part 1100 based on the transport direction, and the spraying part 1200 for spraying brine to the cabbage n, disposed at the rear end of the spraying part 1200 and It may be drawn in and may include a vacuum packaging unit 1300 for vacuum packaging by inserting the drawn cabbage (n) into the packaging vinyl (v).

The cutting unit 1100 adjusts the position of the cabbage n on the carrier 1110 so that the cabbage n can be cut in half by a carrier 1110 carrying the cabbage n and a cutting body 1130 to be described below. It may include a control body 1120 for cutting and a cutting body 1130 for cutting the cabbage (n).

Referring to FIG. 2, the cutting unit 1100 includes a first support member 1111, a first rotation member 1112 rotatably connected to the first support member 1111, and a first rotation member 1112. It may include a first belt 1113 that surrounds and forms a conveyance path of the cabbage. At this time, the first support member 1111 and the first rotation member 1112 may be provided with a plurality spaced apart from each other along the transfer path of the cabbage. An auxiliary rotating member (not shown) or a connecting member (not shown) capable of rotating the first belt 1113 is provided on one side or both sides of the conveying path, which is a path formed along the conveying direction, and the first belt 1113 is wrapped around the first rotating member 1112 and the auxiliary rotating member to form a closed loop, and can rotate in an infinite orbital manner by the rotation of the auxiliary rotating member.

On the other hand, a supply device (not shown) for drawing cabbage into the carrier 1110 may be provided on one side of the transport path, and the cabbage (n) drawn in from the feed device is supplied to the top of the first belt 1113 to feed the cabbage. It can be transported to a space for storage or to a place of operation.

When cabbage is supplied from the supply device to the first belt 1113, when the first belt 1113 is deviated from the center in the width direction and knitted to the left or right, the first belt 1113 is applied to the load of the cabbage n. It meanders in the direction plotted by Accordingly, when the first belt 1113 meanders, the cabbage n is located on one side of the conveying path, so it may not be cut in half by the cutting body 1130 to be described later. Accordingly, when the first belt 1113 is biased to one side and meandering by the load of the cabbage n, and the cabbage n seated on the first belt 1113 is biased to one side, the controller described later ( Through 1120, the first belt 1113 can be positioned in the correct position.

The adjuster 1120 is installed adjacent to the carrier 1110 to adjust the meandering of the first belt 1113 and move it to the correct position. The controller 1120 includes a second support member 1121 provided to be spaced apart from the first support member 1111 on at least one side of the first belt 1113 and a first rotating member on the outside of the first belt 1113 ( 1112 may include a second rotation member 1122 connected to the second support member 1121 so as to be disposed in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction.

Meanwhile, the structure of the first support member 1111 and the first rotation member 1112 will be described in more detail as follows. As shown in the drawing, the width direction may refer to a direction forming the width of the first rotating member 1112 and the first belt 1113 as a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction.

The first support member 1111 may be disposed along the width direction of the first belt 1113 so that the first rotating member 1112 may be disposed in the width direction of the first belt 1113. And the first rotating member 1112 may include a first rotating roller 1112a and a second rotating roller 1112b provided on both sides of the first rotating roller 1112a, and the first rotating roller 1112a may be disposed in a horizontal direction with respect to the ground, and the second rotary roller 1112b may be disposed to be inclined downward toward the first rotary roller 1112a. Through this configuration, the first rotating member 1112 may contact the bottom surface of the first belt 1113 and support the center of the first belt 1113 to form a recessed shape, for example, a cross-sectional shape of a "U" shape. there is.

The second support member 1121 supports the second rotating member 1122 to be rotatable, and may be installed to be spaced apart from each other on both sides of the first belt 1113, that is, on both sides around the carrier 1110. .

The second support member 1121 may have one side adjacent to the first belt 1113 inclined downward toward the first rotation member 1112, and the other side may be disposed outside the first support member 1111. At this time, the second support member 1121 may be disposed to be inclined downward toward the first rotation member 1112 disposed rearward with respect to the conveying direction of the first belt 1113.

And the second rotating member 1122 may be connected to the second support member 1121 to be spaced apart from the first belt 1113 on both sides of the first belt 1113. The second rotating member 1122 has a wider gap W2 than the width W1 of the first belt 1113 and is connected to the second support member 1121 so that the first belt 1113 is not meandering. When meandering of the first belt 1113 occurs without contact with the belt 1113, it may contact the first belt 1113. At this time, the distance W2 at which the second rotating member 1122 is installed is at least when the first belt 1113 is running in the normal position, that is, when the first belt 1113 does not meander, the second rotating member It is preferable that 1122 does not come into contact with the first belt 1113.

The second rotating member 1122 is disposed so that one side adjacent to the first belt 1113 is inclined downward toward the first rotating member 1112 disposed rearward with respect to the conveying direction of the first belt 1113, and the other side is It may be arranged to extend outwardly from the second rotation roller 1112b of the first rotation member 1112. The second rotating member 1122 is not disposed parallel to the first rotating member 1112, and one side of the second rotating member 1122 is disposed rearward with respect to the conveying direction of the first belt 1113. It may be disposed at an angle to face the member 1112. In other words, the second rotating member 1122 may be disposed so that one side thereof is inclined downward while being disposed in a direction crossing the transport direction. Accordingly, the second rotating member 1122 may change the conveying direction of the first belt 1113 to a direction crossing the conveying direction by the first rotating member 1112 . At this time, the second rotating member 1122 may move the first belt 1113 in the direction opposite to the meandering direction to move it to the correct position.

The second rotating member 1122 may be disposed so as to overlap at least a portion of the second rotating roller 1112b of the first rotating member 1112, and in this case, the second rotating member 1112b and the second rotating member 1122 The overlapping range of may be arranged to overlap about 25% to 45% with respect to the length of the second rotary roller (1112b). This is because the first rotating member 1112 is formed to be longer than the width of the first belt 1113, so when the first belt 1113 runs normally, a part of the second rotating roller 1112b is caused by the first belt 1113. Since is exposed, if the second rotating member 1122 is formed so as not to overlap with the second rotating roller 1112b, the meandering occurring in the separation space between the second rotating roller 1112b and the second rotating member 1122 can be adjusted. because it can't Therefore, the meandering of the first belt 1113 can be efficiently adjusted even when the degree of meandering of the first belt 1113 is small by arranging the second rotating member 1122 and at least a part of the second rotating roller 1112b to overlap. there is.

In addition, one side of the second rotating member 1122 may be disposed to be inclined downward, and the inclination of the second rotating member 1122 is the same as that of the first rotating member 1112, for example, about 20 to 25 ° with respect to the horizontal plane. It may be arranged to have a degree of inclination. At this time, one side of the second rotating member 1122 adjacent to the first belt 1113 may have the same or similar height as the second rotating roller 1112b of the first rotating member 1112 .

Through this configuration, one side of the second rotating member 1122 is disposed adjacent to the second rotating roller 1112b on at least one side of the first belt 1113 to have the same or similar height as the second rotating roller 1112b, and , The other side may have a height higher than that of the second rotating roller 1112b and may be disposed to extend outwardly of the second rotating roller 1112b.

Adjuster 1120 may be disposed to face both sides of the first belt (1113). In addition, the controller 1120 may be provided between each carrier 1110, or may be selectively provided in a section where meandering easily occurs, for example, a section in which cabbage n is loaded and transported.

Alternatively, the adjusting body 1120 may be alternately disposed on one side and the other side of the first belt 1113. That is, the controllers 1120 may be disposed one by one between the carriers 1110, and at this time, may be alternately disposed on one side and the other side of the first belt 1113. The arrangement method of the controller 1120 is not limited thereto and may be variously changed.

Below, the principle of adjusting the meandering of the 1st belt 1113 is demonstrated.

The second rotating member 1122 may adjust the meandering of the first belt 1113 by rotating in a direction crossing the first rotating member 1112 when the first belt 1113 meanders. The first belt 1113 travels forward while contacting the rotating first rotating member 1112, and when meandering occurs due to knitting, etc., it moves to the right or left and comes into contact with the second rotating member 1122. The second rotation member 1122 in contact with the first belt 1113 rotates in a direction crossing the rotation direction of the first rotation member 1112 . At this time, since the second rotating member 1122 is disposed inclined downward toward the first rotating member 1112 disposed rearward with respect to the moving direction of the first belt 1113, the second rotating member 1122 has a first The conveying direction of the belt 1113 may be changed to the center side of the first rotating member 1112 . Therefore, the first belt 1113 moves toward the center of the first rotating member 1112 and is disposed in a fixed position on the carrier 1110 disposed in the front with respect to the transport direction, so that it can travel forward.

Meanwhile, since the second rotating member 1122 comes into contact with the first belt 1113 when the first belt 1113 meanders, the first belt 1113 smoothly contacts the outer circumferential surface of the second rotating member 1122. One side adjacent to the belt 1113 may be chamfered to have a curved surface. Through this configuration, it is possible to suppress wear of the edge of the first belt 1113 due to contact with the second rotating member 1122 .

In addition, the outer circumferential surface of the second rotating member 1122 may be formed smooth to increase the contact area with the first belt 1113, but to prevent the first belt 1113 from coming off or the first belt 1113 Concavo-convex structures of various shapes may be formed to control the moving direction of the.

The second rotating member 1122 may have a diameter of one side adjacent to the first belt 1113 smaller than the diameter of the other side, and a step may be formed along the circumferential direction of the outer circumferential surface. Accordingly, when the first belt 1113 meanders, it is possible to prevent the edge of the first belt 1113 from being caught on a step and moving to the outside to be separated.

On the other hand, the second rotating member 1122 may have a concave-convex structure formed in a spiral shape on the outer circumferential surface. At this time, the concavo-convex structure may be formed such that rotation is formed in one direction of the second rotating member 1122 when the second rotating member 1122 rotates, that is, in a direction for moving the first belt 1113. Accordingly, meandering can be adjusted by smoothly moving the first belt 1113 to the correct position.

Hereinafter, a method of adjusting meandering of the first belt 1113 of the carrier 1110 using the adjuster 1120 will be described.

When meandering of the first belt 1113 does not occur, the first belt 1113 may transfer the cabbage n while traveling in a state in contact with the first rotating member 1112 . At this time, the first belt 1113 may run without contacting the second rotating members 1122 disposed on both sides of the first belt 1113 .

When the first belt 1113 deviates from the travel path and meanders to the left, the first belt 1113 comes into contact with the second rotation member 1122 disposed on the left side of the first belt 1113, and thus The second rotating member 1122 in contact with 1 belt 1113 rotates. The first belt 1113 may move in the direction of the center of the first rotating member 1112 by the rotation of the second rotating member 1122 and run along the fixed position. Since the outer circumferential surface of the second rotating member 1122 is disposed toward the first rotating member 1112 disposed forward with respect to the moving direction of the first belt 1113, the first belt 1113 meandering occurs. 2 When in contact with the rotating member 1122, the meandering may be adjusted by moving in the opposite direction where the meandering occurs, for example, toward the center of the first rotating member 1112 toward which the outer circumferential surface of the second rotating member 1122 is facing. At this time, when the meandering degree of the first belt 1113 is small, the meandering may be adjusted by one controller 1120, but when the meandering degree is large, several controllers 1120 are continuously or intermittently passed through Meandering can be adjusted.

The first controller may include a detection sensor (not shown) and a control module (not shown). The detection sensor is provided as a laser sensor and may be installed on one side of the cutter 1132 to detect the presence or absence of cabbage n on the transfer path (ie, on the first belt 1113). In addition, the detection sensor may detect whether or not the cabbages (n) are aligned in a row.

On the other hand, the detection sensor may be provided as a load sensor to detect the presence or absence of the cabbage n by measuring the load of the first belt 1113 on the transfer path (ie, on the first belt 1113). .

The control module is connected to the detection sensor, and may drive the first cylinder 1131 according to whether the detection sensor detects or not. That is, the control module can drive the first cylinder 1131 only when there are Chinese cabbages (n) on the transfer path and when the Chinese cabbages (n) are aligned in a line. Thus, the Chinese cabbage (n) can be cut in half in a state aligned in a row.

The injection unit 1200 is disposed at the rear end of the cutting unit and may spray brine to the cabbage. The injection unit 1200 includes a plurality of third rotational members 1210 spaced apart in one direction, a second belt 1220 disposed to surround the plurality of third rotational members 1210, and a plurality of third rotational members 1210. ) and a cooling member 1230 for transferring cold air to the third rotating member 1210 and the second belt 1220, disposed above the plurality of third rotating members 1210, and the second belt 1220 ) Spraying member 1240 for spraying brine with a salt concentration of 8 to 12% (w/v) to cabbage n seated on and a spray member detecting cabbage n seated on the second belt 1220 A second controller (not shown) may be included to control driving of the 1240 .

Here, the plurality of third rotating members 1210 and the second belt 1220 may be provided in the same structure as the first rotating member 1112 and the first belt 1113 of the carrier 1110 described above.

The cooling member 1230 is connected to each of the plurality of third rotational members 1210 and may transfer cold air to the plurality of third rotational members 1210 . The cooling member 1230 may be provided as a Peltier element. Accordingly, the cooling member 1230 may transfer cool air to the third rotating member 1210 and also transfer cold air to the second belt 1220 in contact with the third rotating member 1210 . Thus, the cabbage n seated on the second belt 1220 can be maintained in a fresh state.

The spray member 1240 may spray salt water having a salt concentration of 8 to 12% (w/v) to the cabbage n. The injection member 1240 is provided in plurality and may be spaced apart along the transfer path. The spray member 1240 is connected to a supply pipe (not shown) and a salt water storage tank (not shown), and the supply pipe may receive salt water from the salt water storage tank and introduce it into the spray member 1240 .

Meanwhile, the injection member 1240 may be formed to rotate. That is, the spray member 1240 rotates and sprays salt water in a relatively wide range.

Therefore, the cabbage (n) cut in the cutting unit 1100 flows into the injection unit 1200 and can be pickled by brine.

The second controller (not shown) may control driving of the injection member 1240 by detecting the cabbage n seated on the second belt. The second controller may include a laser sensor, detect cabbage n through the laser sensor, and drive the injection member 1240 when the cabbage n is detected.

The vacuum packaging unit 1300 is disposed at the rear end of the injection unit 1200 based on the transport direction and can receive cabbage n into it, and inserts the drawn cabbage n into the packaging plastic v. It can be vacuum packed. To this end, the vacuum packing unit 1300 may include a body unit 1310, a cover unit 1320, a seating unit 1330, a cutting unit 1340, a suction unit 1350, and a pressing unit 1360. . On the other hand, the packaging vinyl (v) may be formed of a film material.

The body portion 1310 may have an open top and an internal space 1311 . Here, the body portion 1310 may have an open upper portion covered by a cover portion 1320 to be described later, and the inner space 1311 may be sealed.

An inlet 1312 is provided on the front side of the body portion 1310, and an inlet cover 1313 may be tiltably installed in the inlet 1312. Thus, through the inlet 1312, the cabbage n is introduced into the cabbage, the inlet cover 1313 closes the inlet 1312, and the inner space 1311 of the body 1310 may be sealed.

The cover part 1320 is rotatably coupled to the body part 1310 and may cover the open top of the body part 1310 . That is, the cover part 1320 may cover the upper part of the body part 1310 to seal the inner space 1311 .

On the other hand, the lower part of the cover part 1320 may be formed by being depressed inwardly (ie, the upper part in the vertical direction). Accordingly, a pressing unit 1360 to be described below may be installed in the recessed interior of the cover unit 1320 .

The seating portion 1330 is disposed in the inner space 1311 of the body portion 1310, and the packaging vinyl (v) and the cabbage (n) accommodated in the packaging vinyl (v) can be seated.

On the other hand, the seating portion 1330 may be provided with a plurality of recessed grooves 1331 recessed inward at the upper portion thereof. Here, the plurality of recessed grooves 1331 may be spaced apart from each other along the transport direction and the width direction. In the following, a plurality of recessed grooves 1331 may be provided in four and spaced apart in all directions.

The cutting unit 1340 is movably coupled to the cover unit 1320 and can cut a portion of the packaging vinyl v in which a vacuum is formed inside. The cutting part 1340 may be formed to be movable in a vertical direction so as to move from the cover part 1320 toward the seating part 1330 . Here, the cutting unit 1340 may cut the packaging vinyl v at both ends of the packaging vinyl v based on the transport direction. Here, the cutting part 1340 may cut a part relatively far from the suction part 1350 and cut a part relatively close to the suction part 1350 later.

For example, the cutting unit 1340 may cut the packaging vinyl (v) by heat-sealing the packaging vinyl (v). Accordingly, the packaging vinyl (v) from which the gas inside is discharged to the outside is cut and closed, and a vacuum state therein can be maintained. That is, the cutting unit 1340 seals the open portion of the packaging vinyl (v) (ie, both ends of the packaging vinyl (v)) to maintain the packaging vinyl (v) in a vacuum state inside the packaging vinyl (v). can make it At this time, the packaging vinyl (v) is in close contact with the cabbage (n), and its volume may be minimal.

The suction unit 1350 may be disposed in the inner space 1311 so that at least a portion of the packaging vinyl v can be inserted into the interior and gas inside the packaging vinyl v can be sucked. At least a part of the suction part 1350 may be disposed on the side of the seating part 1330 and at least a part may be disposed above the seating part 1330 . In addition, the suction unit 1350 may insert the open portion of the packaging vinyl v into the interior. The suction unit 1350 may include a suction pipe 1351 , a communication pipe 1352 , a suction pump 1353 and a fixed pipe 1354 .

At least a portion of the suction pipe 1351 is disposed above the seating portion 1330, extends along the longitudinal direction, and may be inserted into an open portion of the plastic packaging v.

The communication pipe 1352 is disposed on the side of the seating portion 1330 and extends vertically, and the upper part communicates with the suction pipe 1351 and the lower part communicates with the suction pump 1353. That is, the communication pipe 1352 may be a passage through which the sucked gas inside the packaging vinyl v moves to the suction pump 1353 through the suction pipe 1351 .

On the other hand, the communication pipe 1352 may be configured to adjust the flow of gas supplied from the packaging vinyl (v) in which the amount of internal gas is reduced by the suction pump 1353.

In general, a vortex refers to a phenomenon in which a flowing fluid collides with a stationary fluid and rotates in a direction opposite to a moving direction at an interface where a flowing fluid and a stationary fluid contact each other. The vortex phenomenon may occur when fluid is discharged from the inside of the pipe to the outside of the pipe or where the width of the passage through which the fluid moves is changed from narrow to wide. Accordingly, as the gas passing through the suction pipe 1351 flows into the communication pipe 1352, a vortex phenomenon may occur in the gas.

If a vortex phenomenon occurs in the gas inside the communication pipe 1352, the suction pump 1353 may not smoothly suck in the gas, and the internal gas of the packaging product may not be effectively discharged, causing the inside of the packaging product to deteriorate. May not be able to form a vacuum. Thus, the inside of the communication pipe 1352 can be configured so that the flow of the gas supplied from the suction pipe 1351 can be adjusted. To this end, the communication pipe 1352 may include a first pipe 1532a, a second pipe 1352b, and a third pipe 1352c.

The first pipe 1532a is connected to the suction pipe 1351 and may be a passage through which gas flows into the communication pipe 1352 . Here, the inner diameter of the first pipe 1532a may be formed to be equal to or smaller than the inner diameter of the suction pipe 1351.

The second pipe 1352b is connected to the suction pump 1353 and may be a passage through which gas introduced into the communication pipe 1352 is discharged to the suction pump 1353 . Here, the inner diameter of the second pipe 1352b may be smaller than the inner diameter of the first pipe 1532a. That is, the second pipe 1352b may have a smaller inner diameter than the first pipe 1532a and be connected through the third pipe 1352c.

In general, when the flow rate of fluid in the connected tubes is the same, the larger the cross-sectional area through which fluid passes, the slower the movement speed, and the smaller the passage through cross-sectional area, the faster the fluid travels. Accordingly, since the internal pressure may be lowered as the speed of the fluid increases, the pressure in a section with a relatively narrow cross-sectional area may be lower than the pressure in a section with a relatively large cross-sectional area. Accordingly, the pressure in the second pipe 1352b may be higher than the pressure in the first pipe 1532a.

Meanwhile, the inlet of the suction pump 1353 connected to the second pipe 1352b may have the same size as the inner diameter of the second pipe 1352b.

The third pipe 1352c is connected to the first pipe 1532a and the second pipe, respectively, and may serve as a passage connecting the first pipe 1532a and the second pipe 1352b. Here, the third pipe 1352c may be formed in a shape in which an inner diameter gradually decreases along a gas movement direction from the first pipe 1532a to the second pipe 1352b (ie, up and down direction in the drawing). In addition, the third pipe 1352c may include a spray plate 1352ca capable of adjusting an irregular flow of gas to a constant flow therein.

The spray plate 1352ca includes a separator 1352cb having the same diameter as any one of the inner diameters of the third pipe 1352c and a plurality of spray holes 1352cc penetrating the separator 1352cb and having a length in the vertical direction. can do. In the following, a case in which the diameter of the separation membrane 1352cb is formed to have the same length as the shortest inner diameter among the inner diameters of the third pipe 1352c will be described as an example.

Meanwhile, as described above, after passing through the suction pipe 1351, a vortex phenomenon may occur in the gas introduced into the first pipe 1532a. Accordingly, it is necessary to form a smooth flow of gas from the rear end of the injection plate 1352ca to the suction pump 1353 through the injection plate 1352ca.

More specifically, when gas flows into the first pipe 1532a, the gas may try to pass through the third pipe 1352c and move to the second pipe 1352b. At this time, the movement of the gas may be temporarily stopped by the separation membrane 1352cb provided in the third pipe 1352c. That is, by the separation membrane 1352cb, the gas may be temporarily condensed while staying at the front end of the separation membrane 1352cb.

Meanwhile, the internal pressure of the third pipe 1352c may be lower than the internal pressure of the first pipe 1532a due to the difference in the inner diameters of the first pipe 1532a and the second pipe 1352b. The internal pressure of the second pipe 1352b may be lower than the internal pressure of the pipe 1352c. Accordingly, gas temporarily condensed at the front end of the separation membrane 1352cb may be rapidly discharged through the injection hole 1352cc formed through the separation membrane 1352cb according to the characteristics of the fluid flowing from high pressure to low pressure. That is, the separation membrane 1352cb momentarily compresses the gas, discharges the gas through the injection hole 1352cc, and forms a flow of gas in a certain direction in the second pipe 1352b, which is the rear end of the injection plate 1352ca. . Accordingly, a smooth flow of gas may be formed up to the suction pump 1353.

In addition, the injection hole (1352cc) may be provided in a shape in which the inner diameter decreases along the moving direction. Accordingly, the moving speed of the gas may gradually increase while passing through the injection hole (1352cc). Accordingly, the gas may more smoothly and quickly pass through the injection hole 1352cc, and the flow of the gas may be more effectively formed in a certain direction in the second pipe 1352b. Here, the structures and shapes of the first pipe 1532a, the second pipe 1352b, and the third pipe 1352c are not limited thereto and may vary.

The suction pump 1353 may be coupled to an end of the communication pipe 1352 so as to form the inside of the packaging vinyl v into a vacuum atmosphere. The suction pump 1353 is disposed below the inner space 1311 and may be located on the side of the seating part 1330 .

The fixed pipe 1354 is disposed spaced apart from the suction pipe 1351 along the circumference of the suction pipe 1351, and sucks a portion of the packaging vinyl (v) drawn in between the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of the suction pipe 1351. It can be brought into close contact with the pipe 1351. The fixed pipe 1354 may include a body member 1354a, a fixing member 1354b, and a driving member (not shown).

The body member 1354a has a larger diameter than the suction pipe 1351, is disposed to surround the suction pipe 1351, and may have an end coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the suction pipe 1351. That is, the body member 1354a may be formed in a cylindrical shape with one side facing the seating portion 1330 open and the other side opposite to the one side closed in the longitudinal direction. For example, the body member 1354a may be formed in an 'O' ring shape.

The fixing member 1354b may be disposed along the circumference of the penetrating inside of the body member 1354a and may be installed to be rotatably movable toward the outer circumferential surface of the suction pipe 1351. That is, the fixing member 1354b may be disposed along the circumference of the inner circumferential surface of the body member 1354a, and may be formed to be movable toward the center of the penetrating interior of the body member 1354a by a driving member described later. . For example, a plurality of fixing members 1354b may be provided, and may be arranged to surround the suction pipe 1351 at an edge portion of the penetrating inner portion of the body member 1354a. Accordingly, the fixing member 1354b may be rotatably installed in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which gas moves toward the center of the penetrating interior of the body member 1354a, that is, toward the suction pipe 1351.

More specifically, the fixing member 1354b may be formed in a plate shape. Here, some of the plurality of fixing members 1354b may overlap each other. The fixing members 1354b are disposed at an even angle with respect to the central axis of the body member 1354a inside the penetrating body member 1354a, and are installed in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the aircraft. For example, one side of each of the fixing members 1354b is rotatably supported by a rotation shaft provided in the body member 1354a, and may be rotated and deployed along a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the aircraft.

On the other hand, the other side of each of the fixing members (1354b) may be installed such that a portion overlaps each other. That is, each of the fixing members 1354b is overlapped with the fixing member so that when the packaging vinyl v is inserted into the penetrating interior of the body member 1354a, the packaging vinyl v adheres to the outer circumferential surface of the suction pipe 1351. The losing part can be rotated by increasing or decreasing at a uniform rate. Accordingly, the fixing member (presses the packing vinyl (v) inserted between the body member 1354a and the suction pipe 1351 toward the suction pipe 1351 Thus, the packaging vinyl (v) can be adhered to the outer circumferential surface of the suction pipe 1351. Thus, the packaging vinyl (v) adheres to the suction pipe 1351, and between the packaging vinyl (v) and the suction pipe 1351 The gap disappears, and the inside of the packaging vinyl (v) can be formed in a vacuum atmosphere more effectively.

The driving member is connected to the fixing member 1354b so as to move the fixing member 1354b. For example, the driving member may include a rotating body, a motor, first teeth, second teeth, and third teeth. The rotating body may be rotatably installed along an inner edge of the body member 1354a. The center of the rotating body is open to allow coolant to pass through, and the open center area is arranged to correspond to the suction pipe 1351 disposed coaxially with the body member 1354a within the penetrating interior of the body member 1354a.

The rotating body may receive a driving force from the motor through the first teeth and the second teeth. A predetermined screw thread is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating body. The thread meshes with the thread formed on the second teeth. Therefore, when the second gear rotates, the rotating body can rotate. At this time, the first sawtooth is provided on the central axis of the motor and can be directly rotated by the motor. Accordingly, the first sawtooth, the second sawtooth, and the rotating body may engage with each other and rotate.

In addition, a predetermined screw thread is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the rotating body. The thread meshes with the thread formed on the third teeth. Accordingly, the third tooth is rotated by the rotation of the rotating body. That is, the rotation of the first rotating body causes the third tooth to rotate inside the rotating body.

A plurality of third teeth are installed along the inner wall of the rotating body to correspond to the fixing members 1354b. Each of the third cogs is installed at an equal angle to each other. The third tooth is installed on the rotation shaft inside the body member 1354a. Each rotation shaft is installed perpendicular to the rotation center of the third tooth. Accordingly, each of the fixing members 1354b may be rotated in a direction toward the suction pipe 1351 by rotation of the rotating shafts. However, a method in which the driving member drives the fixing members 1354b is not limited thereto and may vary.

The pressing unit 1360 may be coupled to the lower surface of the cover unit 1320 so as to be movable toward the seating unit 1330 so as to pressurize the packaging vinyl v. Here, the pressurizing unit 1360 has one side facing the seating unit 1330 capable of being stretched and contracted, and can adjust the pressing force on the packaging vinyl v in proportion to the amount of gas sucked by the suction unit 1350. there is. To this end, the pressurizer 1360 may include a driver 1361, a pressurizer 1362, a coupler 1363, a tension spring 1364, and a third controller 1365.

The driver 1361 is rotatably coupled to the cover part 1320 and at least a portion thereof may be formed to be stretchable and contractible. To this end, the actuator 1361 may include a rotation motor 1361a, a second cylinder 1361b, and a connection bar 1361c.

The rotation motor 1361a generates rotational driving force and may be coupled to the inner wall of the recessed portion of the cover 1320 . The rotation motor 1361a may be disposed at the center of the cover part 1320 based on the transfer direction. The rotation motor 1361a may rotate a second cylinder 1361b to be described later in a circumferential direction (hereinafter referred to as a circumferential direction) of a circle having the width direction as a central axis. That is, the rotary motor 1361a may rotate the second cylinder 1361b clockwise or counterclockwise.

The second cylinder 1361b is rotatably coupled to the rotary motor 1361a, and may be formed to expand and contract in a radial direction (hereinafter referred to as a radial direction) of a circle having a width direction as a central axis. That is, one end of the second cylinder 1361b may be rotatably coupled to the rotary motor 1361a, and a connecting bar 1361c extending in the width direction may be coupled to the other end.

The connection bar 1361c may be coupled to the other end of the second cylinder 1361b. The connecting bar 1361c is inserted into the slit 1363b of the connector 1363, which will be described later, and can be supported by the connector body 1363a, which will be described later. Here, an end of the connecting bar 1361c may be bent upward. Accordingly, the connecting bar 1361c may not be separated from the connector body 1363a. In addition, the connecting bar 1361c may be formed to have the same length as the length of the connector body 1363a in the width direction. In addition, a lubricant (eg, grease) may be coated on an outer circumferential surface of the connecting bar 1361c. Accordingly, friction may be reduced at a portion in contact with the connector body 1363a.

The pressurizer 1362 is coupled to the lower portion of the connector 1363, and one side facing the seating portion 1330 may be formed of an elastic material. The pressurizer 1362 may include at least one of natural rubber, sponge, synthetic rubber, heat-resistant silicone rubber, and a tube so that its shape can be changed when the lower portion contacts the cabbage n.

When the second cylinder 1361b rotates by driving the rotary motor 1361a, the pressurizer 1362 is clocked by the height of the connecting bar 1361c in the slit 1363b described later and the tension spring 1364 described later. It is tinted in a direction or counterclockwise direction, and can be in contact with the packaging vinyl (v) and the Chinese cabbage (n) stored in the packaging vinyl (v). Here, the pressurizer 1362 may first be rotated and tilted in a counterclockwise direction and then rotated and tilted in a clockwise direction in order to pressurize a portion relatively far from the suction unit 1350 . At this time, the lower part of the pressurizer 1362 is recessed inward to correspond to the shape of the cabbage n, and may be in close contact with the outer circumferential surface of the packaging vinyl v. Therefore, the gas inside the packaging plastic (v) can more effectively escape through the suction pipe 1351 by the pressurization of the pressurization unit 1360 . Thus, the inner surface of the packaging vinyl v is more closely adhered to the outer surface of the cabbage n, and the volume of the packaging vinyl v can be minimized.

On the other hand, when the pressurizer 1362 is raised by the driver 1361 and returned to its original position, it contacts the packaging vinyl v and the Chinese cabbage n stored in the packaging vinyl v, and the depressed portion returns to the original position. can return to shape.

The connector 1363 may have a slit 1363b coupled to an upper portion of the pressurizer 1362, penetrated along the width direction, and into which the connecting bar 1361c is inserted. More specifically, the coupler 1363 may be composed of a coupler body 1363a having its inside penetrated in the width direction and a slit 1363b which is a penetrating portion of the coupler body 1363a.

The inside of the connector body 1363a is penetrated in the width direction, and the penetrating portion (ie, the slit 1363b) extends from the first point and the second point, which are opposite ends, to the third point, which is the center, in one direction. It may be formed so that its height increases as it goes up. That is, in a state where the connector body 1363a is horizontally disposed, the height of the third point may be higher than the heights of the first and second points in the vertical direction. Here, the vertical direction may be a direction perpendicular to the width direction and the conveying direction. For example, the penetrating portion of the connector body 1363a (ie, the slit 1363b) may have a triangular shape.

Accordingly, the connection bar 1361c may be positioned at the third point when the second cylinder 1361b is not rotated by the rotation motor 1361a, and the second cylinder 1361b is driven by the rotation motor 1361a. When rotated, it may be located at the first point or the second point. Here, when the second cylinder 1361b is rotated by the rotary motor 1361a, heights of the first point and the second point may be higher than the height of the third point in the vertical direction.

A plurality of tension springs 1364 are provided, one side is coupled to the lower portion of the pressurizer 1362 and the other side is coupled to the inner side of the recess 1331 recessed into the seating portion 1330 and may be spaced apart along one direction. there is. The plurality of tension springs 1364 may be spaced apart from each other along the width direction and the transfer direction. Here, the cabbage n may be drawn in between the plurality of tension springs 1364 spaced apart along the width direction.

In addition, the tension spring 1364 may be provided to resist a force acting to extend the tension spring 1364 in the vertical direction. That is, the tension spring 1364 may receive an action of force to contract when an external force does not act. Accordingly, the tension spring 1364 may apply a pulling force to the pressurizer 1362 toward the seating portion 1330 .

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5 , when the second cylinder 1361b is rotated counterclockwise by the rotary motor 1361a, the connection bar 1361c may move to the second point due to the height difference. Therefore, since the connector 1363 is supported (ie, subjected to upward force) only at the second point by the connecting bar 1361c, it is relatively not supported (ie, subjected to upward force) at the first point, It can be pulled by the tension spring 1364 and adhered to the seating part 1330 .

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, when the second cylinder 1361b is rotated clockwise by the rotary motor 1361a, the connection bar 1361c passes through the third point to the first point due to the height difference. can move Accordingly, since the connector 1363 is supported (ie, subjected to upward force) only at the first point by the connecting bar 1361c, it is relatively not supported (ie, subjected to upward force) at the second point, It can be pulled by the tension spring 1364 and adhered to the seating part 1330 .

The third controller 1365 is connected to the suction unit 1350 and can selectively control the operation of the driver 1361 according to the value of the amount of gas that the suction unit 1350 sucks. To this end, the third controller 1365 may include a measurement unit 1365a, a determination unit 1365b, and a control unit 1365c.

The measurement unit 1365a is connected to the suction pipe 1351 and can measure the amount of gas passing through the suction pipe 1351. For example, the measurement unit 1365a may be provided as a flow rate digital sensor.

The determination unit 1365b may be connected to the measurement unit 1365a to compare the measurement values measured by the measurement unit 1365a with preset first and second reference values to determine the driving timing of the driver 1361. . Here, the determination unit 1365b determines that when the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 1365a is equal to the first reference value, it is time for the second cylinder 1361b of the actuator 1361 to rotate counterclockwise. can

In addition, the determination unit 1365b determines when the second cylinder 1361b of the driver 1361 rotates clockwise when the measurement value measured by the measurement unit 1365a is equal to the second reference value, which is greater than the first reference value. can be judged to be

The control unit 1365c may selectively control generation of driving force in the clockwise direction or generation of driving force in the counterclockwise direction of the rotary motor 1361a according to the determination of the determination unit 1365b. More specifically, when gas is discharged from the inside of the packaging vinyl v to the suction pipe 1351, the value of the amount of gas measured in the suction pipe 1351 through the measuring unit 1365a may gradually increase. At this time, if the determination unit 1365b determines that the measured value has become equal to the first reference value, the rotation motor 1361a is operated to generate a driving force in a direction along the counterclockwise direction through the control unit 1365c, One side of the pressurizer 1362 may press the packaging vinyl v. That is, the pressurizer 1362 may pressurize a relatively distant part of the packaging vinyl v from the part from which gas is discharged.

Thereafter, as more gas is gradually discharged from the inside of the packaging vinyl v, the value of the gas amount measured in the suction pipe 1351 through the measuring unit 1365a may increase to a value greater than the first reference value. . At this time, if the determination unit 1365b determines that the measured value has become equal to the second reference value, the rotation motor 1361a is operated to generate driving force in a clockwise direction through the control unit 1365c, so that the pressurizer The packaging vinyl (v) may be pressed to the other side of 1362. That is, the pressurizer 1362 may pressurize a portion relatively close to the portion from which gas is discharged from the packaging vinyl v. Accordingly, the pressurizer 1362 pressurizes the packaging plastic v as a whole, and all of the gas therein can be discharged through the suction pipe 1351. Therefore, the inside of the packaging vinyl (v) can be more effectively formed in a vacuum atmosphere. Thus, the packaging vinyl (v) can be brought into close contact with the cabbage (n). Chinese cabbage (n) may be vacuum-packed by the packaging vinyl (v).

In this way, the cabbage may be cut, the pickling process may be performed, and the pickled cabbage may be vacuum packed. Thus, the cabbage cutting process, the cabbage pickling process, and the discharge packaging process are performed in one cycle, and the overall process time can be shortened. In addition, while the suction unit draws in gas inside the packaging product, the pressing unit pressurizes the packaging product, and the gas inside the packaging product can be discharged to the outside. Thus, the inside of the packaging product can be more effectively formed in a vacuum state. In addition, the pressurizing unit may pressurize the packaging product from a position relatively far from a position where gas is sucked from the packaging product to push out gas therein. Accordingly, the pressurizing unit gradually pressurizes the gas from a position distant from the position to which the gas is sucked toward the position where the gas is sucked, so that the gas inside the packaging product can be completely discharged. In addition, while the suction part sucks the gas inside the packaging product, it is possible to suppress or prevent generation of vortexes in the gas sucked from the packaging product in which the amount of internal gas is reduced by the suction pump.
