Hereinafter, an operational procedure and working effects of the portable vacuum packaging machine according to the present invention, constructed as mentioned above, will be described in detail.
First, a person skill in the art will readily appreciate that the vacuum packaging work is implemented on a flat surface. That is to say, after foodstuff to be stored for a lengthy period of time is accommodated in the vinyl package on the flat surface, the head section 2 is laid on the vinyl pack so that the entrance of the vinyl package is positioned in the vacuum chamber 30 of the head section 2.
In this state, as the first operation switch 24 of the head section 2 is pushed, the vacuum pump of the body section 1 is operated by an operating instruction signal, and thereby an internal vacuum pressure is created. By this, suction force is introduced in the air suction hole 31 which is connected with the body section 1 via the flexible connection tube 29. According to this, as air existing in the vinyl package is completely discharged out of the vinyl package through the entrance, the inside of the vinyl package is maintained under a vacuum state.
Thereupon, as power is supplied to the heat fusing portion 33, the entrance of the vinyl package is sealed by heat-fusion, whereby the vacuum packaging procedure is finished.
In the meanwhile, a person skilled in the art will readily recognize that the heat-fusing portion 33 can be formed adjacent to front and rear ends, or four ends including front, rear, left and right ends, of the vacuum chamber 30 of the head section 2. Furthermore, a number of head sections 2 can be connected to the single body section 1, in a manner such that a plurality of users can simultaneously implement vacuum packaging works.
Industrial Applicability As a result, the portable vacuum packaging machine according to the present invention provides advantages.,in that, since the portable vacuum packaging machine is configured in such a way as to be divided into a body section for creating a vacuum pressure and a head section by which a packaging work is implemented using the vacuum pressure, and arrangements associated with the vacuum packaging work, such as an operation on/off switch, are attached to the head section, a vacuum packaging work can be conveniently implemented using the head section without requiring movement of the body section, irrespective of place so long as a flat condition is satisfied.
Also, due to this, not only it is possible to ensure convenience and efficiency upon implementing the vacuum packaging work, but also productivity can be improved.
Furthermore, owing to structural simplicity of the vacuum packaging machine, a manufacturing cost can be reduced, and thereby, a heavy burden is not imposed on a user in terms of cost.
