As the propulsion of global economic integration, the food packaging machinery in our country are facing a hitherto unknown development opportunity and challenge. In the fierce market competition, technological innovation has become the greatest power of development.
Automation technology can effectively improve the food packaging machinery of domestic and international competition ability, the development of food packaging in China is of great significance, is the food packaging machinery in our country to develop the route one must take.
Food packaging machinery used in automation technology mainly includes the technology of robot, motion control, motion control, control system, machine bus technology, human-machine interface and sensor. For example : in the food packaging, stacking, loading and unloading and stacking process in the application of different types of industrial robot; in food processing and packaging process, monitoring of food and beverage storage tank, filling, packaging, cooling, mixing, heating processing can be applied to sensor; machine general line technology in China's large-scale food processing factory application of universal, can realize the production line of unattended operation, detection and transmission processes seamless link. The traditional food packaging machinery of mechanical control, such as cam distributing shaft, and subsequently generates the pneumatic control, photoelectric control.
But with the food processing technology continues to improve, the packing parameters requirements are also increasing, the original control standards have been unable to meet the development needs of the application, this technology offers new requirements. At present, China adopts the food packaging machinery is set light, electricity, machine, magnetic, gas in the integration of mechanical electronic equipment, and the design in the future, it should focus on improving the level of automation of packaging machinery, food packaging machinery research and development combined with computer technology, mechanical and electrical integration control. Mechanical and electrical integration mainly to the system as the core, the control principle of the entire process, mechanical, electronic, information, detection of the organic combination, to achieve overall optimization configuration.
Overall, computer technology will gradually be introduced into the food packaging machinery field, in order to improve the application level of mechanical and electrical integration, the development of intelligent packaging. Direction of development of food packaging machinery food packaging is: according to process requirements, combined automatic packaging system, enhancing the production process control and detection, fault diagnosis, fault removing, in order to achieve high quality, efficient, low cost, safe production.
In the food packaging machinery industry, application of sensor occasions more, in addition to the basic features, current sensing technology application also had new breakthrough.
At the same time, the market gap has become a hotly contested spot automation development. With food safety issues have become increasingly prominent, China's food safety seriously more and more, so the food detection technique is proposed for refinement of requirements. Past our country food machinery factory overlooked in food detection technology applications, and improve the performance compared to, food inspection technology will have more development space. Sensing technology in food detection technology plays an important role, including the acquisition of food, temperature, position.
Reportedly, the current integrated circuit detector has been in foreign food processing plant in a wide range of applications, this technique can detect the modification time food. Food quality detection configuration mainly by the scanner and sensor, testing staff as long as the scanner alignment food emit radio signals, will allow the food to vibrate, and the formation of music wave, is transmitted to the sensor.By matching the standard database parameters, can be a short period of time to detect the spoilage of dates, and the detection result is very accurate. Food packaging machinery in the detection technology is no longer confined to the production line in the application, along with the food inspection in our country the importance gradually improved, detection technology applications will be further expanded.
In the machine vision products, color machine vision products in food detection can be used, mainly through the food color to judge their maturity and quality grade. In addition, the application of wireless sensor networks also popularized rapidly, foreign large food processing plants have the technology applied to the collection of food, food security information system.
Through the wireless sensor network function, consumers can better understand the food processing factory production of food, food store and transport the whole process of food, to make food processing is more intuitive and transparent, can effectively discourage consumer food safety concerns. At the same time, in case of problems, wireless sensor technology is also convenient for regulators to discover a problem in time, and do well documented, from the source to contain the food safety problems.
Motion control system of food packaging machinery in our country development key, and the increasingly sophisticated technology. Motion control technology in food packaging machinery mainly to achieve the accurate position control, and strict requirements for synchronous speed, used in food delivery, loading and unloading, stacking, Depalletizing, marking and other procedures. Through the application of movement control technology, which can effectively differentiate high, low-grade packaging machinery, the food packaging machinery in our country play an important role in the upgrade. Food packaging machinery line is continuous, so the speed, accuracy, dynamic and torque index put forward higher requirements, which conforms to the characteristics of the product.
Therefore, the current automation technology is presented in the bus type motion controller in the food packaging industry is very broad prospects for development. A high-speed bus communication, can realize high speed tracking, conversion of multiple position control mode, switching multi communication port data information and other functions. In addition, the food packaging machinery in our country are facing from labor-intensive to knowledge-intensive change process, the enterprise managers should also improve the motion control technology seriously, to reduce production cost, improve the quality of food packaging. |
