1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a vertical type packing machine, especially to a vertical type packing machine in which film-bag delivering, material feeding, evacuation and film-bag sealing processes are conducted in vertically conveying mode, and in which the vertically delivered object to be packed by vacuum packing machine can be well packed through cutting, evacuation and sealing procedures.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Generally, vacuum packing machine is mainly used to evacuate the air within a film-bag, and to seal the film-bag by hot-press or low-frequency heating such that the object is in vacuum packed state to keep things fresh and to extend storage time. However, ordinary vacuum packing machine according to the above procedures basically comprises: a conveying device for conveying film-bags containing object to be packed, a stage for loading film-bags, a vibratory device for exhausting air and for keeping the object in flat, a mechanism for holding the film-bags flat and an evacuation machine etc. Most of the vacuum packing machine substantially utilizes a design having a horizontal frame-base and the abovementioned devices are arranged on the frame-base in order so as to form a packing machine having automatic cycle.
Inasmuch as the above vacuum packing machine is a horizontal type design, the whole assembly has a bulk volume which takes a lot of space in implementation. In addition, the air drawn out from the interior cannot go smoothly by the air-exhaust action conducted by the vibratory mechanism such that evacuation is conducted in incomplete sealing state of the bag-opening. This will cause air inclusion in the packing bag. Accordingly, the product quality is deteriorated.
In view of the above facts, inventor of the present invention provides a vertical type vacuum packing machine according to the research and improvement conducted on shortcomings of the existing structure based on his abundant experience of R&D and manufacturing in relevant field so as to achieve the goal of obtaining better practical value in implementation.

The vacuum packing machine of the present invention further comprises a weighing device for setting and controlling the weight of object to be packed, by which the weight of material delivered to the pack each time substantially reaches the average weight of each object-containing pack through the weight control by the flow rate detection meter, the timer or the scale etc. before the object to be packed is fed into the inlet hopper.
The vacuum packing machine of the present invention is further provided with a vibratory mechanism which generates vibration on a disk body contacted with the object to be packed so as to draw out the air within the film-bag used for packing the object. Further cooperating with the evacuation process, the air in the pack can be drawn out completely so as to achieve better packing effect.
The vacuum packing machine of the present invention is further provided, on the case body of the vacuum packing device, with a sensor for detecting the entry of packing film-bag into the case body so that the case body can conduct mould-closing action subsequently.
