Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of edible fungus detection, and in particular to an edible fungus quality detection device. Background Art

[0002] At present, edible fungi refer to fungal plants that can be eaten by humans. They are not only delicious, but also rich in nutrition and have high edible and medicinal value. In the project of quality inspection of edible fungi, the water content of edible fungi is an important quality indicator. There are several important reasons for testing the water content of edible fungi. If the water content is too low, the enzymes secreted by the mycelium cannot diffuse freely, cannot contact sufficient nutrients, and cannot grow normally; if the water content is too high, the mycelium will grow slowly due to lack of oxygen caused by excessive humidity, and even rot and die. Only under the appropriate water content can the mycelium grow normally and the fruiting body can be formed in large quantities, thus ensuring the high yield and excellent quality of edible fungi. After the edible fungi are picked, if the water content is too high, it is easy to rot and deteriorate, resulting in a poor taste and reduced nutritional value. The appropriate water content can extend the shelf life of edible fungi and maintain their freshness and taste. For edible fungi that need to be processed, such as drying and pickling, testing the water content helps to control the moisture changes during the processing process and ensure the quality and consistency of the processed products. At the same time, appropriate moisture content is also conducive to the storage and transportation of edible fungi, reducing loss and waste. In summary, the detection of the moisture content of edible fungi is of great significance to the growth, quality, processing, storage and food safety of edible fungi, and is an indispensable link in the production and processing of edible fungi.

[0003] For the detection of moisture content of edible fungi, there are several methods in the prior art: oven / microwave drying method: place the sample in an oven and dry it at a temperature of 105±2℃ until constant weight, or use microwave energy to heat the sample to evaporate the water quickly, and calculate the weight difference before and after drying to get the moisture content. The advantages are simple operation, accurate results, fast drying speed, good uniformity, suitable for samples with high moisture content, and it is a traditional standard method. The disadvantages are that it takes a long time, is not suitable for rapid detection, has high equipment costs, and is relatively complex to operate;

[0004] Near infrared spectroscopy: Using near infrared spectroscopy technology, by collecting the spectral data of the sample and combining it with the pre-trained prediction model, the water content of the sample can be accurately determined. The advantages are fast detection speed, no need to destroy the sample, and suitable for online detection and non-destructive testing. The disadvantage is that an accurate calibration model needs to be established, and there are certain requirements for the uniformity and spectral characteristics of the sample.

[0005] For example, in the utility model patent with application number CN202410458989.4 and application date 2024-04-17, a method and device for non-destructive detection of moisture content of edible fungi are disclosed. By utilizing a pre-built multi-channel near-infrared spectral system, near-infrared spectral data of the edible fungi sample to be tested is collected; the near-infrared spectral data is input into a pre-trained edible fungi moisture content prediction model to obtain the moisture content of the edible fungi sample to be tested.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following provides a preferred specific implementation of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. What is disclosed is only a preferred specific implementation of the present invention, and it is certainly not intended to limit the scope of rights of the new use model. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the claims of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.

[0047] See attached Figures 1 to 7:This embodiment is the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the edible fungus quality detection device includes an axially through-arranged supporting cylinder 1, a supporting plate 2 is slidably connected inside the supporting cylinder 1, and the supporting plate 2 is used to place the edible fungi to be tested. The edge of the supporting plate 2 is provided with a plurality of drainage grooves 2a, and the moisture discharged from the edible fungi to be tested will flow downward through the drainage grooves 2a. The size of the drainage grooves 2a is set to prevent the edible fungi to be tested from passing through without hindering the flow of moisture. A detection cylinder 3 is installed at the bottom of the supporting cylinder 1, and a base plate 3c is fixedly installed at the bottom of the detection cylinder 3. The base plate 3c is a pair of relatively arranged arc plates for supporting the device itself. The detection cylinder 3 is connected to the supporting cylinder 1, and a detection plate 4 is sealed and slidably connected inside the detection cylinder 3. The moisture discharged from the edible fungi to be tested will flow downward through the drainage grooves 2a. The size of the drainage grooves 2a is set to prevent the edible fungi to be tested from passing through without hindering the flow of moisture. a flows downward and converges on the detection plate 4. In order to collect moisture, the detection plate 4 needs to be sealed and slid inside the detection cylinder 3. The detection cylinder 3 is partially or entirely transparent to facilitate observation of the amount of moisture collected on the detection plate 4. An adjusting member 5 is provided between the carrier plate 2 and the detection plate 4. The adjusting member 5 can synchronously drive the detection plate 4 to descend when the carrier plate 2 descends. The weight of the space generated by the descent of the detection plate 4 when filled with water is the same as the weight of the edible fungi to be tested. For example, a certain weight of edible fungi to be tested is placed on the carrier plate 2, the carrier plate 2 will descend and drive the detection plate 4 to slide and descend in the detection cylinder 3 through the adjusting member 5. If the space generated by the sliding descent of the detection plate 4 in the detection cylinder 3 is filled with water, then the weight of the water is exactly equal to the weight of the edible fungi to be tested placed on the carrier plate 2;

[0048] The adjusting member 5 includes an adjusting rod 5-1 fixed at one end opposite to the carrying plate 2 and the detection plate 4. When the carrying plate 2 descends, the adjusting rod 5-1 pushes the detection plate 4 to descend synchronously. A support plate 5-2 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the carrying cylinder 1. The adjusting rod 5-1 passes through the support plate 5-2 and is slidably connected on the support plate 5-2. A spring 5-3 is installed between the support plate 5-2 and the carrying plate 2. The spring 5-3 surrounds the adjusting rod 5-1. Springs 5-3 with different elastic force specifications can make the carrying plate 2 push the detection plate 4 to descend by different distances. Therefore, by selecting springs 5-3 with appropriate specifications, the weight of the space generated by the descent of the detection plate 4 when filled with water can be the same as the weight of the edible fungi to be tested on the carrying plate 2. The support plate 5-2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 5-4 to facilitate the flow of water to the top of the detection plate 4.

[0049] The bearing cylinder 1 is provided with an extrusion piece 6 for squeezing out the moisture in the edible fungi to be tested and flowing it to the top of the detection plate 4. The extrusion piece 6 includes a plurality of positioning posts 6-1 fixed to the outer wall of the bearing cylinder 1. There are more than three positioning posts 6-1 and they are evenly distributed on the outside of the bearing cylinder 1. A claw-shaped bracket 6-2 is provided on the top of the bearing cylinder 1. A card slot cooperating with the positioning post 6-1 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 6-2. The positioning post 6-1 is detachably connected to the positioning post 6-1 through the card slot. An extrusion screw 6-3 is threadedly connected to the center of the bracket 6-2. An extrusion handle 6-4 is fixedly installed on the top of the extrusion screw 6-3. Selecting the extrusion handle 6-4 can drive the extrusion screw 6-3 to rotate and lift. An extrusion plate 6-5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extrusion screw 6-3. The extrusion screw 6-3 can drive the extrusion plate 6-5 to enter the bearing cylinder 1 by lifting. The extrusion plate 6-5 can squeeze the edible fungi to be tested on the bearing plate 2 so that the moisture in the edible fungi to be tested is squeezed out.

[0050] An adjustable limiter 7 is installed at the bottom of the detection cylinder 3 to prevent the detection plate 4 and the carrying plate 2 from further descending. The adjustable limiter 7 includes a stop screw 7-1 threadedly connected to the bottom of the detection cylinder 3. The stop screw 7-1 can be lifted and lowered to resist the bottom of the detection plate 4 at different positions to prevent the detection plate 4 from further descending. An stop handle 7-2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the stop screw 7-1. The stop handle 7-2 can be rotated to drive the stop screw 7-1 to rise and fall, so that the top of the stop screw 7-1 can be pressed against the bottom of the detection plate 4 to fix the size of the space generated by the descent of the detection plate 4 to ensure that the weight of the space when it is filled with water is consistent with the weight of the edible fungi on the carrying plate 2, and the stop screw 7-1 prevents the carrying plate 2 from descending through the adjusting rod 5-1, so as to cooperate with the extrusion plate 6-5 to extrude the edible fungi to be tested on the carrying plate 2;

[0051] An upper channel 3a is provided on the inner wall of the detection cylinder 3, which corresponds to the top of the detection plate 4 when it is not lowered and is connected to the outside world. A lower channel 3b is provided on the bottom of the detection cylinder 3 to connect to the outside world. The upper channel 3a and the lower channel 3b are used to balance the air pressure inside the detection cylinder 3 so that the detection plate 4 can slide smoothly in the detection cylinder 3. The upper channel 3a can also be used for drainage. When the detection is completed and needs to be reset, the stop screw 7-1 pushes the detection plate 4 to rise, and the moisture is discharged through the upper channel 3a. The inner wall of the upper channel 3a is tilted inward from high to low from the outside to the inside. After the moisture of the edible fungus is squeezed out, it needs to flow from the supporting cylinder 1 to the detection cylinder 3. Therefore, the inwardly tilted upper channel 3a can prevent moisture from flowing out of the upper channel 3a during the flow from top to bottom.

[0052] In this embodiment, the method for using the edible fungus quality detection device is as follows:

[0053] 1. Weighing and feeding: Cut the edible fungi to be tested into even-sized pieces and place them on the top of the carrier plate 2. The size of the pieces should be larger than the drainage groove 2a to prevent them from leaking out of the drainage groove 2a during squeezing;

[0054] 2. Range adjustment: The load-bearing plate 1 descends after bearing the weight, and the load-bearing plate 1 drives the detection plate 4 to slide and descend in the detection cylinder 3 through the adjustment rod 5-1. By selecting the spring 5-3 with appropriate elastic force specifications and the detection cylinder 3 with appropriate diameter, the weight of the space from the position of the detection plate 4 after it descends to the initial position of the detection plate 4 when it is filled with water is equal to the weight of the edible fungi to be tested;

[0055] 3. Fixed range: Rotate the anti-drop handle 7-2 to drive the anti-drop screw 7-1 to rotate and rise. After the anti-drop screw 7-1 rises, its top abuts against the bottom of the detection plate 4. The anti-drop screw 7-1 prevents the detection plate 4 from further falling. Since the detection plate 4 is connected to the bearing plate 2 through the adjustment rod 5-1, when the detection plate 4 cannot fall, the bearing plate 2 cannot fall either.

[0056] 4. Separating moisture: Rotate the squeezing handle 6-4, the squeezing handle 6-4 drives the squeezing screw 6-3 to rotate and descend, the squeezing screw 6-3 descends and drives the squeezing plate 6-5 to descend, the squeezing plate 6-5 descends to squeeze the edible fungi on the carrying plate 2, so that the moisture in the edible fungi is squeezed out, and the moisture is gathered on the detection plate 4 through the drainage groove 2a and the through hole 5-4;

[0057] V. Measurement: The height of the water level inside the detection cylinder 3 can be observed with the naked eye to estimate the proportion of the water content inside the detection cylinder 3 to the space generated after the detection plate 4 is lowered, so as to know the water content of the edible fungi, that is, the height of the liquid level can be observed with the naked eye. The closer the liquid level is to the initial position of the detection plate 4, the higher the water content of the edible fungi. The principle is that if the space generated after the detection plate 4 is lowered is completely filled with water, then the weight of the water is exactly equal to the weight of the edible fungi before the water is squeezed out. After squeezing the water contained in the edible fungi into the space, observe where the water level is in the space, and then the water content of the edible fungi can be quickly known without calculation.

[0058] See attached Figures 1 to 7 :This embodiment is the second embodiment. In the previous embodiment, since there is no specific reference object, the proportion of the water content inside the detection cylinder 3 to the space generated after the detection plate 4 is lowered is estimated by visual inspection, and only very rough data can be obtained. Therefore, in response to this problem, the embodiment adds a dividing member 8 as a reference on the basis of the device of the previous embodiment. The dividing member 8 is installed on the outside of the detection cylinder 3, and can evenly divide and mark the space generated after the detection plate 4 is lowered to obtain accurate edible fungus moisture content data.

[0059] The dividing member 8 comprises a pair of guide plates 8-1 fixed on the outside of the detection cylinder 3, a transparent observation plate 8-2 is slidably connected between the pair of guide plates 8-1, a plurality of equally divided marking lines 8-3 are arranged on the observation plate 8-2, the equally divided marking lines 8-3 are fan-shaped and radially distributed evenly and equidistantly, a vertex marking line 8-4 flush with the top of the detection plate 4 when it is not lowered is arranged on the surface of the detection cylinder 3, a positioning marking line 8-5 is arranged on the outside of the detection cylinder 3, the positioning marking line 8-5 intersects the vertex marking line 8-4 vertically, and the positioning marking line 8-5 also intersects the top of the detection plate 4 vertically, the observation plate 8-2 can slide so that a plurality of equally divided marking lines 8-3 intersect with the positioning marking line 8-5, and a plurality of equally divided marking lines 8-3 are evenly and equidistantly distributed. The positioning mark line 8-5 is located between the vertex mark line 8-4 and the top of the detection plate 4. The positioning mark line 8-5 between the vertex mark line 8-4 and the top of the detection plate 4 corresponds to the space generated after the detection plate 4 is lowered. The equal division mark line 8-3 divides the segment of the positioning mark line 8-5 into equal parts, which is equivalent to dividing the space generated after the detection plate 4 is lowered into equal parts. A pair of guide plates 8-1 are threadedly connected with fastening screws 8-6 for locking the sliding position of the observation plate 8-2. After the position of the observation plate 8-2 is adjusted, it is locked by the fastening screws 8-6. A pair of guide plates 8-1 are provided with guide grooves 8-7, and the side of the observation plate 8-2 is fixedly installed with guide sliders 8-8 that slide in cooperation with the guide grooves 8-7.

[0060] In this embodiment, since the device is provided with a dividing member 8, the method of using the device is also changed accordingly.

[0061] In this embodiment, the method for using the edible fungus quality detection device is as follows:

[0062] 1. Weighing and feeding: Cut the edible fungi to be tested into even-sized pieces and place them on the top of the carrier plate 2. The size of the pieces should be larger than the drainage groove 2a to prevent them from leaking out of the drainage groove 2a during squeezing;

[0063] 2. Range adjustment: The load-bearing plate 1 descends after bearing the weight, and the load-bearing plate 1 drives the detection plate 4 to slide and descend in the detection cylinder 3 through the adjustment rod 5-1. By selecting the spring 5-3 with appropriate elastic force specifications and the detection cylinder 3 with appropriate diameter, the weight of the space from the position of the detection plate 4 after it descends to the initial position of the detection plate 4 when it is filled with water is equal to the weight of the edible fungi to be tested;

[0064] 3. Fixed range: Rotate the anti-drop handle 7-2 to drive the anti-drop screw 7-1 to rotate and rise. After the anti-drop screw 7-1 rises, its top abuts against the bottom of the detection plate 4. The anti-drop screw 7-1 prevents the detection plate 4 from further falling. Since the detection plate 4 is connected to the bearing plate 2 through the adjustment rod 5-1, when the detection plate 4 cannot fall, the bearing plate 2 cannot fall either.

[0065] 4. Separating moisture: Rotate the squeezing handle 6-4, the squeezing handle 6-4 drives the squeezing screw 6-3 to rotate and descend, the squeezing screw 6-3 descends and drives the squeezing plate 6-5 to descend, the squeezing plate 6-5 descends to squeeze the edible fungi on the carrying plate 2, so that the moisture in the edible fungi is squeezed out, and the moisture is gathered on the detection plate 4 through the drainage groove 2a and the through hole 5-4;

[0066] 5. Observation board setting: The observation board 8-2 is set as a square rotated 45 degrees, and two adjacent sides of the square are set to equally divide the outermost sides of the marking line 8-3. The guide plate 8-1 is also set to a 45-degree tilt state, so that the observation board 8-2 can slide along the 45-degree angle;

[0067] Six: Observation plate adjustment: When the observation plate 8-2 slides along the guide plate 8-1, the outermost edge of the top of the equally divided mark line 8-3 always intersects with the vertical point of the positioning mark line 8-5 and the vertex mark line 8-4. The operator manually slides the observation plate 8-2 until the outermost edge of the bottom of the equally divided mark line 8-3 on the observation plate 8-2 intersects with the vertical point of the positioning mark line 8-5 and the top of the detection plate 4;

[0068] 7. Detection: Since the equal division marking line 8-3 divides the positioning marking line 8-5 between the vertex marking line 8-4 and the top of the detection plate 4 into equal parts, the percentage can be marked near each equal division marking line 8-3. By observing the position of the liquid level inside the detection cylinder 3 on the equal division marking line 8-3, the water content of the edible fungus can be read out.

[0069] See attached Figures 1 to 7:This embodiment is the third embodiment. In the previous embodiment, it is troublesome to manually adjust the position of the observation plate 8-2. Therefore, on the basis of the device of the previous embodiment, a linkage member 9 matched with the anti-drop screw 7-1 is added. The linkage member 9 is installed on the outside of the detection cylinder 3. When the anti-drop screw 7-1 rises and abuts against the detection plate 4, the linkage member 9 drives the observation plate 8-2 to slide to the outermost edge of the bottom of the equally divided mark line 8-3 and intersects with the vertical point of the positioning mark line 8-5 and the top of the detection plate 4. The linkage member 9 includes an extended support plate 9-1 fixed on the outside of the detection cylinder 3. The extended support plate 9 -1 is threadedly connected with a linkage screw 9-2, and the pitch of the linkage screw 9-2 is smaller than the pitch of the stop screw 7-1. Under the same rotation, the rising distance of the linkage screw 9-2 is smaller than the stop screw 7-1. A pushing head 9-3 is installed on the top of the linkage screw 9-2 to push the observation plate 8-2 to slide in a pair of guide plates 8-1. The pushing head 9-3 is truncated and has an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the pushing head 9-3 leans against the side of the observation plate 8-2. When the linkage screw 9-2 rises, the pushing head 9-3 pushes the observation plate 8-2 through the inclined surface. The driving gear 9-4 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the anti-drop screw 7-1, and the driven gear 9-5 meshing with the driving gear 9-4 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the linkage screw 9-2. The specifications of the driving gear 9-4 and the driven gear 9-5 are the same, and the tooth width of the driven gear 9-5 is set to be larger than the tooth width of the driving gear 9-4; when the anti-drop screw 7-1 rises by rotating, the dropping screw 7-1 drives the driving gear 9-4 to rotate, the driving gear 9-4 rotates to drive the driven gear 9-5 to rotate, the driven gear 9-5 rotates to drive the linkage screw 9-2 to rotate, and the linkage screw 9-2 rotates to drive The driving head 9-3 rises to push the observation plate 8-2 to slide. During this process, the distance that the driving head 9-3 needs to rise to push the observation plate 8-2 to slide to the appropriate position is smaller than the distance that the stop screw 7-1 needs to rise to resist the detection plate 4. Therefore, the pitch of the linkage screw 9-2 is set to be smaller than the pitch of the stop screw 7-1, and the tooth width of the driven gear 9-5 is set to be larger than the tooth width of the driving gear 9-4, so that when the stop screw 7-1 is raised or lowered, the driving gear 9-4 can also maintain the meshing state with the driven gear 9-5 to drive the linkage screw 9-2 to rotate.

[0070] In this embodiment, since the device is provided with a linkage member 9, the method of using the device is also changed accordingly.

[0071] In this embodiment, the method for using the edible fungus quality detection device is as follows:

[0072] 1. Weighing and feeding: Cut the edible fungi to be tested into even-sized pieces and place them on the top of the carrier plate 2. The size of the pieces should be larger than the drainage groove 2a to prevent them from leaking out of the drainage groove 2a during squeezing;

[0073] 2. Range adjustment: The load-bearing plate 1 descends after bearing the weight, and the load-bearing plate 1 drives the detection plate 4 to slide and descend in the detection cylinder 3 through the adjustment rod 5-1. By selecting the spring 5-3 with appropriate elastic force specifications and the detection cylinder 3 with appropriate diameter, the weight of the space from the position of the detection plate 4 after it descends to the initial position of the detection plate 4 when it is filled with water is equal to the weight of the edible fungi to be tested;

[0074] 3. Observation board setting: The observation board 8-2 is set to be a square rotated 45 degrees, and two adjacent sides of the square are set to equally divide the outermost sides of the marking line 8-3. The guide plate 8-1 is also set to a 45-degree tilt state, so that the observation board 8-2 can slide along the 45-degree angle;

[0075] 4. Fixed range: Rotate the anti-drop handle 7-2 to drive the anti-drop screw 7-1 to rotate and rise. After the anti-drop screw 7-1 rises, its top abuts against the bottom of the detection plate 4. The anti-drop screw 7-1 prevents the detection plate 4 from further falling. Since the detection plate 4 is connected to the bearing plate 2 through the adjustment rod 5-1, when the detection plate 4 cannot fall, the bearing plate 2 cannot fall either.

[0076] Five: Observation plate adjustment: When the stop screw 7-1 rotates, the active gear 9-4 drives the driven gear 9-5 meshing therewith to rotate, and the rotation of the driven gear 9-5 drives the linkage screw 9-2 to rotate, and the rotation of the linkage screw 9-2 drives the push head 9-3 to rise, and the rise of the push head 9-3 drives the observation plate 8-2 to slide along the guide plate 8-1. When the observation plate 8-2 slides, the outermost edge of the top of the equally divided mark line 8-3 always intersects with the vertical point of the positioning mark line 8-5 and the vertex mark line 8-4. When the stop screw 7-1 rises to abut against the bottom of the detection plate 4, the outermost edge of the bottom of the equally divided mark line 8-3 just intersects with the vertical point of the positioning mark line 8-5 and the top of the detection plate 4. At this time, there is no need to manually adjust the position of the observation plate 8-2. You only need to rotate the stop screw 7-1 to rise to abut against the bottom of the detection plate 4, and the observation plate 8-2 can be driven to automatically slide to the appropriate position;

[0077] 6. Separating moisture: rotating the squeezing handle 6-4, the squeezing handle 6-4 drives the squeezing screw 6-3 to rotate and descend, the squeezing screw 6-3 descends and drives the squeezing plate 6-5 to descend, the squeezing plate 6-5 descends to squeeze the edible fungi on the carrying plate 2, so that the moisture in the edible fungi is squeezed out, and the moisture is gathered on the detection plate 4 through the drainage groove 2a and the through hole 5-4;

[0078] 7. Detection: Since the equal division marking line 8-3 divides the positioning marking line 8-5 between the vertex marking line 8-4 and the top of the detection plate 4 into equal parts, the percentage can be marked near each equal division marking line 8-3. By observing the position of the liquid level inside the detection cylinder 3 on the equal division marking line 8-3, the water content of the edible fungus can be read out.

[0079] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
