Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water content detection, and particularly to a cheese water content detection device and a using method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Cheese is a fermented dairy product. Taking factors such as fat content, water content, production process, maturity, storage conditions, etc. as standards, the water content is an important indicator to measure the freshness and quality of cheese. Strictly controlling the water content can improve the quality of cheese and extend its shelf life, thereby ensuring the health and safety of consumers. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the water content of cheese.
[0003] After investigation, a Chinese invention patent discloses a cheese water content detection device (publication number: CN118794833B), which includes a base. A second cavity is opened in the base, and a vertical pipe communicating with the second cavity is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the base. The top of the vertical pipe is fixedly provided with a detection box. A support plate is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the detection box, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the support plate. By cutting the cheese into multiple small portions and making the small portions of cheese inserted at the top of the needle rod for suspended air drying, the cheese can be quickly air-dried, and air internal circulation can be realized during the air-drying process, which can effectively avoid the influence of the humidity in the external air on the water content detection of cheese. At the same time, the air flow blown out by the blowing hood acts evenly on the surface of the cheese, which can further improve the air-drying rate. The detected cheese can also be quickly collected through the aggregate component, greatly improving the detection efficiency and having a better use effect.
[0004] Although the above patent, through the setting of structures such as the air guide channel, after the cheese is air-dried, the value detected by the pressure sensor is read, and the water content of the detected cheese can be obtained by the change amount of the measured values before and after. The detection process is faster, more accurate and convenient, and after detection, the cheese at the top of the needle rod can be quickly taken away through the aggregate component, and the use effect is better. However, after the cheese is fixed by the needle rod and air-dried, by comparing the pressure before and after the cheese is air-dried, the water content of the cheese is calculated. However, after the water content of the cheese is tested, the cheese may adhere to the surface of the needle rod. Therefore, when the cheese is detected by the pressure sensor, there is a difference between the detection result and the actual pressure, resulting in a deviation in the calculation result of the cheese water content and affecting the accuracy of the cheese water content test.
[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a cheese water content detection device and a using method thereof to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] A usage method of a cheese moisture content detection device, applied to the above-mentioned cheese moisture content detection device, includes the following specific steps: S1: Cut the cheese and place it on the bearing plate in an annular array. Use a pressure sensor to detect the cheese pressure, and after preheating the cheese based on the corresponding electric heating plate, start the second electric push rod to make the bearing plate drive the cheese into the upper housing. S2: Use a needle rod to pierce into the cheese, drive the cheese to move into the upper housing based on the driving motor and the threaded barrel. Use a fan to convey the gas inside the lower housing to the upper housing through the communication groove, and heat the gas based on the electric heating plate to dry the cheese. S3: During the drying process of the cheese, the gas enters the air collecting groove through the through groove, and the fan conveys the gas to the condensation groove. Condense the gas in contact with the circulation pipe according to the water in the circulation pipe, and convey it to the inside of the lower housing again through the air inlet pipe. And based on the setting of the water inlet pipe, the condensed liquid enters the water collecting box. S4: During the condensation process, the heat in the gas is transferred to the water inside the circulation pipe, and the heated water is transported to the inside of the water collection box based on the first water pump, completing the heat energy recovery and gas dehumidification. After the cheese is dried, the first electric push rod is activated to push the moving plate to move, pushing the cheese to disengage from the needle rod, and scraping the cheese on the surface of the needle rod based on the scraping plate, so that the cheese and the naira attached to the surface of the needle rod fall on the bearing plate. The pressure is detected again based on the pressure sensor, and the water content of the cheese is calculated by comparing the pressures before and after; S5: After testing the water content of the cheese, the mounting plate moves, driving the driving rack to move, so that the driving gear drives the limiting plate to flip, no longer limiting the inside of the upper housing, allowing the gas to quickly enter the inside of the air collection groove and then enter the inside of the lower housing. Then, the second water pump is activated to transport the heated water inside the water collection box to the inside of the air collection groove through the drain pipe, so that it falls into the inside of the upper housing through the exhaust groove, cleaning the needle rod and other components, and completing the use of the cheese water content detection device. Beneficial effects
[0017] 1. Based on the mutual cooperation of structures such as the drying mechanism and the conveying mechanism, after the cheese is conveyed to the inside of the upper housing based on the conveying mechanism, the cheese is dried by the circulation mechanism. After the drying is completed, the mounting plate moves downward, placing the cheese on the bearing plate. When the mounting plate resets, the first electric push rod is activated to drive the moving plate and the sliding plate to move downward, not only disengaging the cheese from the needle rod, but also causing the scraping plate to move on the needle rod, scraping the surface of the needle rod, and making the scraped needle rod fall on the cheese. Therefore, when the cheese is detected by the pressure sensor, the detection result is closer to the actual pressure, making the calculation result of the cheese water content more accurate and improving the accuracy of the cheese water content measurement; 2. Based on the setting of structures such as the conveying mechanism and the circulation mechanism, due to the mutual cooperation of the fan and the air collection groove, the gas circulates inside the cheese water content detection device, and the gas is heated by the electric heating plate, further improving the efficiency of the gas in drying the cheese; 3. Through the mutual cooperation of the limiting plate and the through groove, the gas entering the upper housing is guided, so that the gas dries the upper part of the cheese, making the cheese drying more uniform. And due to the limitation of the gas by the limiting plate, the time of the gas existing in the upper housing is extended, further extending the time of the gas drying the cheese, thereby reducing the circulation times to achieve a better result of drying the cheese; 4. Based on the mutual cooperation of the condensation tank and the circulation pipe, during the gas circulation process, the gas enters the condensation tank and contacts the circulation pipe. Through the cold water inside the circulation pipe, the gas condenses into a liquid after contacting the circulation pipe, dehumidifying the gas. And the condensed liquid enters the water collection box through the setting of the water inlet pipe, collecting and storing the condensed water. Moreover, the heat generated during the condensation process is absorbed through the circulation pipe, heating the water inside the water collection box with the heat, so that subsequently, the internal part of the cheese moisture content detection device is cleaned with the heated water through the second water pump and the drain pipe, making it more convenient to use the cheese moisture content detection device subsequently.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] The present invention provides a cheese moisture content detection device and its usage method. Refer to Figures 1 - 10 As shown, three embodiments are provided: Embodiment 1
[0022] The cheese moisture content detection device includes a support bottom plate 1. A conveying mechanism 2 is installed on the upper surface of the support bottom plate 1. A drying mechanism 3 is installed on the surface of the conveying mechanism 2. A circulation mechanism 4 is installed inside the conveying mechanism 2. The drying mechanism 3 includes an upper housing 301 installed on the surface of the conveying mechanism 2. A mounting plate 302 is slidably connected inside the upper housing 301. Needle rods 303 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 302 in an annular array. Two corresponding scraping plates 304 are slidably sleeved on the surface of the needle rods 303. Sliding plates 305 are slidably connected to the surface of the scraping plates 304 in an annular array. Tightening springs respectively fixedly connected to the two scraping plates 304 are fixedly connected to the inside of the sliding plates 305 in an annular array. Based on the arrangement of the tightening springs, when the scraping plates 304 scrape the needle rods 303, the scraping plates 304 are always in contact with the needle rods 303, so that the scraping plates 304 can scrape the surface of the needle rods 303 more cleanly. A moving plate 306 fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding plates 305 and slidably connected to the mounting plate 302 is provided. A return spring 307 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving plate 306. Based on the arrangement of the return spring 307, the moving plate 306 is supported to prevent the moving plate 306 and the sliding plates 305 from completely wrapping the needle rods 303. The drying mechanism 3 further includes a driving motor 309 fixedly connected to the inside of the upper housing 301. A threaded rod 310 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 309. A threaded cylinder 311 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 302 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 310. Based on the driving motor 309, the threaded rod 310, and the threaded cylinder 311, the mounting plate 302 is driven to move inside the upper housing 301, so that the needle rods 303 move synchronously to adjust the positions of the needle rods 303. Limiting plates 312 corresponding to the mounting plate 302 are rotatably connected to both sides of the surface of the threaded cylinder 311. First electric push rods 308 corresponding to the moving plates 306 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 302 in an annular array. Specifically, after the drying of the cheese is completed, the driving motor 309 is started, and its output end drives the threaded rod 310 to rotate, so that the threaded cylinder 311 drives the mounting plate 302 to move downward, making the cheese contact the conveying mechanism 2. At the same time, the first electric push rods 308 are started, and their output ends squeeze the moving plates 306 to move downward, so that the sliding plates 305 drive the scraping plates 304 to move on the needle rods 303. This can not only push the needle rods 303 out of the cheese and no longer fix the cheese, but also scrape the cheese attached to the surface of the needle rods 303, making the cheese crumbs fall on the cheese block, avoiding the cheese from adhering to the needle rods 303 and affecting the pressure that can be applied to the cheese. Therefore, when the cheese is detected by the pressure sensor 203, the detection result is closer to the actual pressure, making the calculation result of the cheese water content more accurate and improving the accuracy of the cheese water content measurement.

The surface of the driving gear 314 is engaged with a driving rack 315 slidably connected to the upper housing 301 and fixedly connected to the mounting plate 302. A through groove is formed on the surface of the limiting plate 312; Based on the setting of the driving rack 315, when the mounting plate 302 moves downward so that the needle rod 303 is inserted into the cheese, the driving rack 315 drives the driving gear 314 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 313 drives the limiting plate 312 to rotate inside the upper housing 301, and no longer closes the upper housing 301 and the vicinity of the threaded rod 310; When the mounting plate 302 drives the cheese to move upward, the driving rack 315 drives the driving gear 314 to rotate in the reverse direction, so that the limiting plate 312 is reset, and the limiting plate 312 closes the inside of the upper housing 301, guides the gas entering the upper housing 301, so that the gas dries the upper part of the cheese, making the drying of the cheese more uniform. And through the limiting of the gas by the limiting plate 312, the time of the gas existing in the upper housing 301 is extended, further extending the drying time of the gas on the cheese, thereby reducing the circulation times to achieve a better result of drying the cheese; The conveying mechanism 2 includes a lower housing 201 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base plate 1 and corresponding to the upper housing 301. The inner bottom wall of the lower housing 201 is fixedly connected with a second electric push rod 202.

The bearing space is used for the storage of the bearing plate 204 and the placement of cheese. The storage space is used for storing the drying gas. When the second electric push rod 202 drives the bearing plate 204 to move upward, the second electric push rod 202 drives the connecting plate 208 to move upward, and no longer seals the communication groove 207, so that the gas in the storage space can enter the inside of the upper housing 301 to dry the cheese; Among them, based on the setting of multiple electric heating plates 209, not only can the cheese in the closed space be preheated, but also the gas in the storage space can be heated, further improving the efficiency of cheese drying; A sealing sleeve 5 is slidably connected to the surfaces of the upper housing 301 and the lower housing 201 together.

Both sides of the upper surface of the water collecting box 401 are fixedly connected with a fan 402. The output end of the fan 402 is fixedly connected with an air inlet pipe 403. A water inlet pipe 404 communicated with the water collecting box 401 is fixedly connected to the surface of the air inlet pipe 403. One end of the air inlet pipe 403 is fixedly connected with a conical hopper 405; Among them, the fan 402 is used to circulate the gas between the upper housing 301 and the lower housing 201; Among them, the water inlet pipe 404 is used to transport the water condensed from the gas to the water collection box 401; Among them, the water collection box 401 is used to store the condensed water and the water from the external water source; The circulation mechanism 4 further includes two condensation tanks 406 opened inside the lower housing 201. The inner top wall of the condensation tank 406 is fixedly connected with a delivery pipe 407 fixedly connected with the upper housing 301 and the connecting rod. An air collection tank 408 communicated with the delivery pipe 407 is opened inside the upper housing 301, and exhaust slots 409 communicated with the air collection tank 408 are arranged in an annular array on the inner top wall of the upper housing 301; Among them, the air inlet pipe 403 and the conical hopper 405 are used to transport the gas entering the condensation tank 406 and the condensed liquid; Among them, the delivery pipe 407 is used to transport the gas entering the inside of the upper housing 301 to the condensation tank 406; Among them, the air collection tank 408 is used to collect and distribute the gas entering the inside of the upper housing 301; Among them, the exhaust slots 409 allow the gas inside the upper housing 301 to enter the air collection tank 408; The circulation mechanism 4 further includes a first water pump 410 fixedly connected to both sides of the water collection box 401. The output end of the first water pump 410 is fixedly connected with a circulation pipe 411 communicated with the water collection box 401 and arranged inside the condensation tank 406. The input end of the first water pump 410 is fixedly connected with a water delivery pipe 412 communicated with the water collection box 401. A second water pump 413 with an input end communicated with the water collection box 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the water collection box 401. The output end of the second water pump 413 is fixedly connected with a drain pipe 414 communicated with the air collection tank 408; Among them, the first water pump 410 is used to circulate the water inside the water collection box 401 inside the circulation pipe 411; Among them, the circulation pipe 411 is arranged inside the condensation tank 406 and is used to condense the gas entering the inside of the condensation tank 406. It can not only remove the moisture in the gas, but also absorb the heat in the gas and make the heat enter the inside of the water collection box 401 to heat the water inside it; The heated water can not only make the inside of the cheese moisture content detection device cleaner, but also heat the gas in the storage space through the dissipated heat, reducing the power of the electric heating plate 209; Specifically, after the cheese enters the interior of the upper housing 301, the needle rod 303 is inserted into the cheese to fix the cheese. Then, the drive motor 309 is started, and its output end drives the threaded rod 310 to rotate, causing the threaded rod 310 to drive the mounting plate 302 to move, so that the cheese moves upward. At the same time, the blower 402 is started to discharge the gas in the storage space into the interior of the upper housing 301 through the ventilation groove 205 to dry the cheese. During the drying process, the gas entering the gas collection groove 408 through the through groove finally enters the interior of the delivery pipe 407 under the drive of the blower 402, so that the high-temperature and high-humidity gas enters the interior of the condensation tank 406. According to the setting of the circulation pipe 411, the high-temperature and high-humidity gas releases heat and condenses, and the heat is absorbed through the circulation pipe 411 and the water in the water collection box 401 is heated. The condensed liquid and the processed gas enter the conical hopper 405 and the intake pipe 403, so that the gas enters the storage space, and the liquid enters the water collection box 401 through the water inlet pipe 404; After the detection of the water content of the cheese is completed, the second water pump 413 is started, and its input end discharges the hot water in the water collection box 401 into the interior of the gas collection groove 408 through the drain pipe 414.
