At present, the competition of food packaging and beverage machinery is becoming increasingly fierce. In the future, food packaging machinery will cooperate with industrial automation, promote the overall level of packaging equipment, and develop multi-functional, high efficiency and low consumption food packaging equipment. The integration of mechanical and electronic equipment, which integrates machinery, electricity, gas, light, biology and electromagnetism, can be used in food packaging machinery. In the design, we should focus on improving the automation of packaging machinery. By combining the research and development of packaging machinery with computer, we can realize the mechatronics control. The integration of advanced technology of machinery, micro-computer, microelectronics, sensors and other disciplines has brought profound changes in the design, manufacture and control of packaging machinery. Only in this way can the present situation of packaging machinery be fundamentally changed.
First, the higher the production efficiency requirements, the better. This can reduce the cost of the product and meet the delivery date. The high-speed packaging machine needs to be connected with the previous process, without handling links, including control links. The whole production line should start in reverse order and stop in sequence according to the production and packaging process arrangement. If the cold filling production line from plastic raw materials to beverage filling machinery, large packaging stacking all automatically in the closed workshop.
Second, it can adapt to the update and change of products. Packaging machinery should have high flexibility and flexibility, and the production line allows the size of packaging to change within a certain size range. Because the life cycle of the product is much shorter than the service life of the equipment, changing the product and packaging will not change the expensive packaging production line.
Thirdly, the common faults of equipment should be eliminated quickly. Solutions are pre-inputted into the computer. When common faults occur, the device can diagnose itself, and remote diagnosis and troubleshooting can also be implemented.
Fourthly, it is required to have automatic identification function. On the one hand, it can automatically identify the thickness, hardness, rebound force of packaging materials, and feedback to the manipulator through the computer to adjust the action range to ensure no rebound. On the other hand, different products, such as chocolates or snacks of different shapes, are packed in the same box and arranged regularly. The product delivered by the production line is disorderly. It can be scanned by a probe to determine the position of materials with different shapes, and then fed back to different manipulators. It can accurately and accurately place items in the tray according to the exact position and direction, quickly and accurately, eliminating the visual and finger fatigue of manual operation.
