Vacuum sealer
View Patent ↗A vacuum sealer includes a housing including a front platform; a rear pumping device including two contact switches on the platform and a controller electrically to the contact switches; a pivotal presser; and a heating assembly in the platform. Either end of the heating assembly includes a U-shaped first metal member including two wings, a thermal insulation member including an internally threaded metal member through the thermal insulation member, a second metal member including a hole, a first tubular heat sink, a first screw for fastening the U-shaped first metal member, the heating wire, and the first tubular heat sink together, a plate-shaped third heat sink attached to an end of the first tubular heat sink, a heating plate placed on the third heat sink, and a second screw for fastening the second metal member, the thermal insulation member, and the U-shaped first metal member together.
1. A vacuum sealer, comprising:
a housing comprising a platform at a front portion;
a pumping device disposed in a rear portion of the housing and comprising two contact switches on a flat portion of a top of the platform and a controller electrically to the contact switches;
a presser pivotally disposed on the platform; and
a heating assembly disposed at a front end of the platform and electrically to the controller, either end of the heating assembly comprising a U-shaped first metal member including two wings wherein one wing has a hole, a thermal insulation member including an internally threaded metal member through the thermal insulation member, a second metal member including a hole, a first tubular heat sink, a first screw driven through the hole of one wing and an end of a heating wire into the first tubular heat sink to fasten the U-shaped first metal member, the heating wire, and the first tubular heat sink together, a plate-shaped third heat sink having one end bent and attached to an end of the first tubular heat sink, a heating plate placed on the third heat sink, and a second screw driven through the hole of the second metal member into the internally threaded metal member wherein a joined portion of the thermal insulation member and the other wing is fastened together by soldering, thereby fastening the second metal member, the thermal insulation member, and the U-shaped first metal member together.
2. The vacuum sealer of claim 1 , further comprising a second tubular heat sink threadedly secured to the first tubular heat sink.
3. The vacuum sealer of claim 1 , wherein the first tubular heat sink includes an inclined surface; wherein an end of the heating plate is compressed between and by an inclined end of the second metal member and a portion of the third heat sink; wherein the portion of the third heat sink urges against the inclined surface; and wherein the second metal member, the heating plate, the third heat sink, and the first tubular heat sink are fastened together.
