Automatic determinator for starch content of potatoes

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic determinator for starch content of potatoes. The automatic determinator is used for automatically determining the starch content of the potatoes in a rapid and batch manner and consists of a measurement and control gage head, a weighing sensor, a machine frame and a water containing bucket, wherein the upper part of the machine frame supports the measurement and control gage head, the weighing sensor is suspended on the measurement and control gage head through a suspending rope, and the water containing bucket is placed at the lower part of the machine frame. A motor drives a determined sample to rise in air or fall in water under the control of an intelligent program, so that the determined sample is automatically weighed, and specific gravity and starch content are calculated. The determinator can be used independently, and determined results can be uploaded to software of an upper computer, so that data management is achieved, and data are analyzed and are automatically saved in Excel tables.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a measuring instrument for dry matter content and starch content, in particular to an automatic measuring instrument for potato starch content. Background technique [0002] Potato starch content is an important indicator of potato quality, and the amount of starch content directly affects potato quality. Therefore, it is very important to quickly and accurately measure the potato starch content in the production experiment process. However, the traditional manual determination is labor-intensive, low in efficiency and large in error. [0003] Determination of potato starch content is mostly used: polarimetry, refraction method and specific gravity method. The specific gravity method is widely used in the field of starch content measurement because of its simple, convenient and fast measurement. [0004] The automation level of domestic potato starch content testing equipment is relatively backward, so it is urgent to design ...
