Definitions
- the present invention refers to a machine for vacuum packing products in plastic bags and rigid containers, particularly for preserving foodstuffs and perishable materials in general under vacuum.
- suction devices are very expensive, bulky and heavy, so they must form fixed installations, at least during use.
- These apparatus are in fact fixed to the wall or disposed on a flat surface and are connected to the valve of the container in which the vacuum is to be created by means of a flexible tube.
- the inside structure of said apparatus As far as the inside structure of said apparatus is concerned, they have: either an electric motor, on the output shaft of which is a cam which directly drives the piston of a suction pump or types of rotary blade pumps. Both solutions require a rather high power and therefore over-sizing of the entire device.
- embossing is a process which, besides stiffening the sheet material and thus making it less suitable for the purpose, increases the final costs of packaging.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a machine for vacuum packing in plastic bags and rigid containers, which ensures high performance and short times for creation of vacuum and which at the same time occupies little space, is cheap, practical and simple to make.
- the machine for vacuum packing in plastic bags and rigid containers has a box-type shell consisting of a base and a cover forming a chamber in which a bag in which a vacuum is to be created is placed.
- the cam actuates opening of an air valve which introduces air from the outside into the vacuum chamber.
- the chamber is thus brought to atmospheric pressure to allow subsequent opening of the cover by the user.
- the heat seal previously carried out on the edges of the bag prevents the outside air from re-entering the bag, and thus the pressure difference that has been created between the inside of the bag and the outside atmosphere causes flattening or shrinkage of the bag around its contents.
- the fact that the bag is housed in an inner chamber of the machine in which vacuum is created makes it possible to use any type of bag, even without embossing.
- the bag which is contained inside the chamber of the machine is emptied of air from its mouth, irrespective of the configuration of the sheet material from which it is made.
- Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the machine in Figure 1 assembled, showing a bag therein with material to be vacuum packed;
- Figure 3 is a cross sectional view along sectional plane III-III of Figure 2;
- Figure 4 is an axonometric view of the machine according to the invention shown assembled and open, during creation of a vacuum in a rigid container;
- Figure 7 is a cross sectional view of the heat welding device along sectional plane VII-
- Figure 9 is an axonometric exploded view of a pump for creating vacuum of the machine, according to the invention.
- an inner wall 2A of the base body 2 defines a chamber 4 wherein is housed a bag 26 having the material 27 to be vacuum packed inside it.
- the chamber 4 is tightly closed when the cover 3 is in the lowered position.
- the cover 3 presses on a special gasket 5 housed in a seat in the upper part of the base or basic body 2.
- the gasket 5 is made in a loop with a lip-shaped section to compensate for errors in planarity of the cover 3 and of the upper part of the basic body
- a tube winding device 12 consisting of a spring-loaded reel to wind a tube 36 connected respectively to the suction pump 33 and to a device 35 in the form of a handgrip for creating the vacuum; - a geared motor 8 to operate a device for heat sealing the edges 25 of the bag 26 to be vacuum packed.
- the geared motor 8 rotates a cam 16 positioned in a seat 2B in the upper part of the basic body 2.
- the cam 16 is insulated from the chamber 4 by means of an airtight gasket 6, mounted around the shaft of the geared motor 8.
- An electrical resistance 28 kept taught by means of clips 31 disposed at the outer sides of the resistance holding bar is mounted on the resistance holding bar 19.
- Springs 32 disposed in special seats inside the resistance holding bar 19 press on the clips 31.
- the bushings 20, besides acting as guides, conduct low-voltage current to the electrical resistance 28 which extends for the entire length of the resistance holding bar 19. When the electrical current passes through the electrical resistance 28, the resistance overheats, reaching an optimal temperature to cause heat sealing of the edges of bags made of heat- weldable plastic material.
- Rotation of the cam 16 causes horizontal translation of the slide 18 and thus raising of the resistance holding bar 19, which is pushed against a metal bar or counter-bar 22.
- the metal bar 22 is locked in a bridge structure 21 integral with the basic body 2.
- the bridge structure 21 packs the entire heat welding system to the basic body 2.
- a flow deflector which switches the suction output 69 of the pump 33 between the tube 36 directed to the device 35 and the tube 41 directed to the opening 42 of the chamber 4 can be provided. In this manner, to create a vacuum in the chamber 4, use of the handgrip device 35 and the tube winder 12 is avoided.
- a multi- position selector switch 44 that can be operated by the user to select the level of vacuum desired is provided.
- the switch 44 acts on a manostat 45 ( Figure 1) able to maintain the pressure, or rather the vacuum, in the chamber 4 at the level selected by the user.
- the suction pump start-up control is provided with a switch 43 ( Figures 2 and 4) situated beneath the seat 34.
- This switch 43 when freed by the handgrip 35, gives out an electrical signal toward the pump 33 to set it in operation. In this manner, to control operation of the suction pump 33, it is not necessary to act on the cover 3 to activate the pump start-up switches 29.
- the bag 26 is filled with the material 27 to be vacuum packed.
- the cover 3 is then opened and the bag 26 is positioned in the chamber 4.
- the resistance holding bar 19 presses against the metal bar 22 and its coating 23, squeezing the two edges 25 of the bag 26.
- the resistance 28 of the resistance bar 19 causes heating of the edges 25 of the bag 26 and thus heat welding thereof.
- Rotation of the cam 16 also causes shifting of the air valve 13. Following this shifting the air valve 13 opens the opening 48 formed in the seat 2B of the base body 2 which separates the housing 7 from the chamber 4.
- the air let into the chamber 4 by the air valve 13 re-establishes the atmospheric pressure in the chamber 4 and thus allows the user to raise the cover 3 when the process of sealing the edges of the bag has been completed.
- the pump 33 comprises two pistons 51 and 52, sliding counter to each other in respective cylindrical chambers 53, 54, so that while one sucks in air, the other expels the air previously sucked in, thus allowing continuous operation.
- the suction duct 69 can be connected directly to the chamber 4 in which the vacuum has to be created.
- a flow switch which can divert the output of the suction duct 69 toward the tube 36 when the device 35 is to be used to create a vacuum in rigid containers will be provided.
- the inside and outside walls of the basic body 2 and of the cover 3 of the machine 1 are preferably made of moulded thermoplastic resins. Special studies on the structural configuration of the parts of the machine 1 have made it possible to use plastic as the material, despite the chamber 4 of the machine 1 being subject to high vacuums during creation of the vacuum.
