Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sampling equipment technology, specifically a sampler for the production of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier. Background Technology

[0002] Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier is a liquid or cream-like product made using Ganoderma lucidum mycelium as the core functional ingredient through emulsification technology. The sampler for Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier production is a specialized sampling device designed specifically for the physical characteristics of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier (containing mycelial particles, having a certain viscosity, and being prone to stratification) and the needs of production quality monitoring. It can accurately and contaminantly collect emulsifier samples from containers (such as reaction vessels or storage tanks) at different depths, providing samples for subsequent testing (such as mycelium concentration, emulsion stability, purity, etc.).

[0003] Traditional integrated pull-out samplers resemble hollow syringes with a fixed length, making them difficult to adapt to containers of varying depths. If the height of the container used to produce Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier changes—for example, if the container is too deep, the sampler may not be able to cover the entire depth, or its length may cause operational inconvenience; conversely, if the container is too shallow, operation may also be inconvenient. Furthermore, integrated pull-out samplers typically use a single channel for extraction, making it difficult to prevent the mixing of emulsifiers from different liquid layers during sampling. This is especially problematic for materials like Ganoderma lucidum mycelium, which is prone to stratification and uneven mycelial distribution (less suspended mycelium in the upper layer and more sediment in the lower layer). Mixing can lead to distorted test results that fail to reflect the true situation.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the present invention provides a sampler for the production of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a sampler for the production of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifiers, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a sampler for the production of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier, comprising a housing, a driving mechanism provided on the housing, the driving mechanism including a drive gear rotatably connected inside the housing, two driven gears meshing on the outer surface of the drive gear, and a driving module provided on the housing;

[0007] Multiple sampling mechanisms are arranged at the bottom of the shell. Each sampling mechanism includes a sampling barrel, a piston is arranged inside the sampling barrel, a magnetic ring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the piston, a magnetic ring is slidably connected to the outer surface of the sampling barrel, a bottom cover is threaded to the lower end of the sampling barrel, multiple one-way liquid inlet valves are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom cover, and multiple one-way air outlet valves are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sampling barrel. The magnetic ring and the magnetic ring are opposite magnetic poles. The sampling mechanism also includes two internally threaded sleeves that are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer surface of the magnetic ring. The internally threaded sleeves are internally threaded with threaded rods, the length of which does not exceed the height of the sampling barrel.

[0008] Preferably, an internal threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to the center of the driven gear. The internal threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. After the internal threaded sleeve passes downward through the driven gear, an external threaded sleeve is rotatably installed. A nut is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the external threaded sleeve. Two arc-shaped grooves are opened on both the upper and lower surfaces of the housing. The center of the arc-shaped groove is concentric with the center of the driving gear.

[0009] Preferably, the lower surfaces of the shell and the bottom cover are both fixedly connected to a threaded interface one, and the upper surface of the sampling bucket is fixedly connected to a threaded interface two, and the threaded interface one can be threadedly connected to the threaded interface two.

[0010] Preferably, the sampling mechanism further includes multiple sealing nuts fixedly connected from top to bottom to the outer surface of the sampling barrel. The sampling barrel has a round hole at the position corresponding to the sealing nut. Each sealing nut is threaded with a sealing bolt, which extends into the round hole.

[0011] Preferably, a notch is provided on the outer surface of the magnet ring corresponding to the position of the sealing bolt.

[0012] Preferably, the lower ends of both external threaded sleeves extend through arc-shaped grooves, and the ends extending through are fixedly connected to limiting discs. The diameter of the limiting discs is greater than the width of the arc-shaped grooves, and the limiting discs abut against the lower surface of the housing.

[0013] Preferably, the drive module is a rotary handle or a motor.

[0014] Preferably, a sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the drive gear, and the output shaft of the rotating handle or motor is keyed to the sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, the magnet ring is circular and its size is adapted to the inner diameter of the sampling bucket.

[0016] The sampler for producing Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] By simultaneously drawing in emulsifiers from multiple independently connected sampling buckets, this method changes the existing single-channel extraction method of integrated pull-out samplers. It avoids the mixing of emulsifiers from different layers during sampling and transportation, which could lead to inaccurate test results. Each bucket is independently drawn in and stored separately during sampling, which avoids the mixing of samples from different layers from a physical structure perspective. This allows for a true reflection of the emulsifier state at each layer (such as mycelial concentration and emulsion stability), making it more suitable for monitoring the layered quality in production.

[0018] Each sampling container becomes an independent storage container for emulsifiers, allowing for separate storage, transportation, and testing operations. This eliminates the need to transfer the extracted emulsifiers to other sealed containers for storage, reducing the need for multiple sample discharges for storage and transportation required by existing integrated sampling devices.

[0019] Compared to traditional fixed-volume sampling containers, this sampler eliminates the need to replace the sampling container. The sampling volume of a single sampling container can be quickly adjusted simply by screwing in the sealing bolt. For example, the sampling volume can be reduced for low-concentration samples in the upper layer and increased for high-concentration samples in the lower layer. The operation is highly efficient and requires no spare container, adapting to different testing needs and avoiding waste caused by excessive emulsifier sampling. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Embodiments of the present invention:

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figures 4 to 8 This embodiment discloses a sampler for the production of Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier, including a housing 1. A driving mechanism is provided on the housing 1. The driving mechanism includes a drive gear 201 rotatably connected inside the housing 1. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the drive gear 201. The sleeve extends upward beyond the upper surface of the housing 1. Two driven gears 202 mesh with the outer surface of the drive gear 201. A through hole is provided in the center of the two driven gears 202. An internal threaded sleeve 203 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole of each of the two driven gears 202. The bottom end of the internal threaded sleeve 203 extends downward through the driven gear 202. An external threaded sleeve 204 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of each of the two internal threaded sleeves 203. A nut 205 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of each of the two external threaded sleeves 204. Two arc-shaped grooves 206 are formed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the housing 1. The center of the arc-shaped grooves 206 is concentric with the center of the drive gear 201. The width of the two arc-shaped grooves 206 on the upper surface of the housing 1 is larger than the width of an adult's finger, making it easy for a finger to insert and rotate the nut 205. The nut 205 fits against the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the housing 1. The lower half of the two external threaded sleeves 204 is not threaded. The lower ends of the two external threaded sleeves 204 extend through similar arc-shaped grooves 206, and one end of each sleeve is fixedly connected to a limiting plate. The diameter of the limiting plate is larger than the width of the arc-shaped groove 206, and the limiting plate abuts against the lower surface of the housing 1. A drive module 207 is provided on the housing 1. The drive module 207 can be a small motor or a rotary handle. Figure 6 The drive module 207 shown is a rotary handle. Figure 7 The drive module 207 shown is a small motor with a keyway inside the socket. When in use, the rotary handle or the output shaft of the small motor can be connected to the socket on the drive gear 201 by means of a key connection. The small motor also needs to be bolted to the upper surface of the housing 1. Then, the drive gear 201 can be rotated by rotating the handle or starting the small motor.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Multiple sampling mechanisms are arranged below the housing 1. Each sampling mechanism includes a sampling barrel 301. A piston 302 is arranged inside the sampling barrel 301. A magnetic ring 303 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the piston 302. A magnetic ring 304 is fitted on the outer surface of the sampling barrel 301. The lower end of the sampling barrel 301 is open, and a bottom cover 305 is threadedly connected to its lower end. The size of the bottom cover 305 is larger than the outer diameter of the sampling barrel 301, and it is used to prevent the magnetic ring 304 from sliding down. Multiple one-way liquid inlet valves 306 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bottom cover 305, and multiple one-way air outlet valves 307 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the sampling barrel 301. The magnetic ring 304 and the magnetic ring 303 have opposite magnetic poles.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 8 The sampling mechanism also includes two symmetrical internal threaded sleeves 308 symmetrically fixed to the outer surface of the magnet ring 304. Each of the two internal threaded sleeves 308 is threaded with a threaded rod 309. The magnet ring 304 is limited and slidably connected to the outer surface of the sampling barrel 301, so that the internal threaded sleeves 308 and the magnet ring 304 can move vertically on the outer surface of the sampling barrel 301. The threads on the outer surfaces of the two threaded rods 309 are in the same direction. The two threaded rods 309 are threadedly matched with the two internal threaded sleeves 203. Initially, the threaded rods 309 are fully screwed into the adjacent internal threaded sleeves 308, and the height of the threaded rods 309 does not exceed the height of the sampling barrel 301.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sampling mechanism also includes multiple sealing nuts 310 fixedly connected from top to bottom to the outer surface of the sampling barrel 301. The sampling barrel 301 has circular holes corresponding to the positions of the sealing nuts 310. Each sealing nut 310 is threaded with a sealing bolt 311, which extends into the circular hole. The outer surface of the magnet ring 304 has a notch to prevent obstruction by the sealing bolt 311 during upward movement. Initially, the sealing bolt 311 does not protrude from the inner wall of the sampling barrel 301 and is located within the circular hole and the sealing nut 310. The magnet ring 303 is annular, and its size matches the inner diameter of the sampling barrel 301. The lower surfaces of the housing 1 and the bottom cover 305 are both fixedly connected with threaded interfaces 208. The upper surface of the sampling barrel 301 is fixedly connected with a threaded interface 312. Threaded interfaces 208 have external threads, and threaded interfaces 312 have internal threads. Threaded interfaces 208 and 312 are threadedly connected.

[0036] The following is the complete working process and working principle of the above embodiments:

[0037] First, determine the number of sampling barrels 301 to be installed based on the sampling depth, and then install multiple sampling barrels 301. Specifically, first align the threaded interface 312 at the top of one sampling barrel 301 with the threaded interface 208 at the bottom of the housing 1 of another sampling barrel 301 and rotate and tighten it to achieve a fixed connection between the two sampling barrels 301. By installing the sampling barrels 301 sequentially, multiple sampling barrels 301 can be stacked to increase the sampling depth. Then, manually rotate and screw the two threaded rods 309 at the top into the adjacent internal threaded sleeves 203 above. After that, screw the two threaded rods 309 at the bottom of each sampling barrel 301 into the internal threaded sleeves 308 of that sampling barrel 301 in sequence, thus completing the assembly of multiple sampling barrels 301.

[0038] It should be noted that after the threaded interface 208 and the threaded interface 312 are tightened by rotation, errors may occur due to manual tightening. This may cause the inner threaded sleeve 203 to not be aligned with the threaded rod 309. Therefore, a finger can be inserted into the housing 1 through the arc groove 206. One hand can hold the outer threaded sleeve 204, while the other hand can rotate the nut 205, causing the nut 205 to move upward on the outer surface of the outer threaded sleeve 204. At this time, the nut 205 will no longer be tightly fitted to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1. Then, the inner threaded sleeve 203 and the outer threaded sleeve 204 can be moved within the arc groove 206 to align with the threaded rod 309. After alignment, the nut 205 should be tightened again so that its lower surface is tightly fitted to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1, thereby fixing the position of the inner threaded sleeve 203.

[0039] After the above alignment and fixing, the drive module 207 can be installed as needed. A method using a rotating handle connected to the drive gear 201 is suitable for small containers or small-volume sampling scenarios, while a method using a small motor output shaft connected to the drive gear 201 is suitable for large containers or batch sampling scenarios. When the drive gear 201 is rotated by the rotating handle or the small motor output shaft, it will drive the two driven gears 202 meshing with it to rotate synchronously. The driven gears 202 drive the two internal threaded sleeves 203 to rotate within the housing 1. Since the internal threaded sleeves 203 remain stationary, they will drive the two threaded rods 309 connected to them to move horizontally upwards. The two threaded rods 309 will drive the internal threaded sleeves 308 connected to them and all the threaded rods 309 connected below them to move upwards synchronously, so that the internal threaded sleeves 308 on the outer surface of each sampling container 301 drive the magnet ring 304 to move upwards. When the magnetic ring 304 moves, it will attract the corresponding magnetic ring 303 and move upward. The magnetic ring 303 drives the piston 302 in each sampling barrel 301 to move upward. At this time, an adsorption force is generated inside the sampling barrel 301. The Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier in the container is drawn into the sampling barrel 301 through the multiple one-way liquid inlet valves 306 on the bottom cover 305. When the piston 302 moves upward to expel the gas inside the sampling barrel 301, the one-way gas outlet valve 307 on the upper surface of the sampling barrel 301 will discharge the gas in one direction, so that the piston 302 can move upward smoothly. At this time, the Ganoderma lucidum mycelium emulsifier is drawn into the interior of multiple sampling barrels 301. By simultaneously drawing in emulsifier through multiple independently connected sampling buckets 301, the existing integrated pull-out sampler, which typically uses a single-channel extraction method, can be changed. This avoids the mixing of emulsifiers from different layers during the sampling process, which could lead to distorted test results. Each sampling bucket 301 draws in and stores the emulsifier independently during sampling, thus preventing the mixing of samples from different layers from a physical structure perspective. This allows for a true reflection of the emulsifier state at each layer (such as mycelial concentration and emulsion stability), making it more suitable for monitoring the layered quality in production.

[0040] Meanwhile, by selecting the drive module 207, if a small motor is used as the drive, after keying the output shaft of the small motor to the socket on the drive gear 201, the drive motor also needs to be fixedly installed to the housing 1. After that, the housing 1 can be held by hand for sampling. Using a rotary handle, however, simply insert the rotary handle into the socket and rotate it by hand. Using a drive motor is more suitable for containers where the sampling bucket 301 is inserted deep, or for situations where the emulsion viscosity is high (high mycelial content leads to high resistance). The continuous torque output of the motor can easily overcome resistance, ensuring the piston 302 moves upward stably and avoiding sampling deviations or piston 302 jamming due to uneven manual force. The rotary handle requires no additional fixing or power supply, and operators can quickly assemble it, making it suitable for scenarios requiring rapid response, such as temporary sampling, emulsion sampling in small containers, and emergency testing.

[0041] After extraction, the two threaded rods 309 of the lower sampling bucket 301 can be rotated and unscrewed from the inner threaded sleeve 308 of the upper sampling bucket 301, starting from the bottom. After unscrewing the threaded rods 309, the bottom sampling bucket 301 body can be rotated to prevent its threaded interface 312 from connecting with the threaded interface 208 at the bottom of the upper sampling bucket 301. This process can be repeated from bottom to top to disconnect all sampling buckets 301. At this point, each sampling bucket 301 becomes an independent container storing emulsifier, allowing for individual storage, transfer, and testing of the sampling bucket 301. It is no longer necessary to transfer the emulsifier in the sampling bucket 301 to other sealed containers for storage, reducing the need for multiple sample extraction and transfer steps required by existing integrated extraction samplers.

[0042] Finally, simply rotate the bottom cover 305 at the bottom of the sampling container 301 manually to pour out the emulsifier inside for subsequent testing and analysis.

[0043] Furthermore, during use, a sealing bolt 311 on the outer surface of each sampling bucket 301 can be rotated and screwed into the sampling bucket 301 as needed, so that the sealing bolt 311 protrudes from the inner wall of the sampling bucket 301, while the other sealing bolts 311 remain in a state where they do not protrude from the inner wall of the sampling bucket 301. During subsequent sampling, when the piston 302 moves upward to the position of the screwed-in sealing bolt 311, it will be blocked by the sealing bolt 311, and the magnetic ring 303 will not be driven upward by the magnetic ring 304. At this point, the piston 302 stops at the position where the sealing bolt 311 is screwed in. Since the one-way liquid inlet valve 306 can only allow liquid to enter but not exit, the piston 302 will remain in place, while the magnetic ring 304 will continue to move upward, thus achieving the purpose of quantitative sampling of the sampling bucket 301. Compared to traditional fixed-volume sampling containers 301 or methods that require precise manual control of the sampling volume, this design eliminates the need to replace the sampling container 301. The sampling volume of a single container can be quickly adjusted simply by screwing in and out the sealing bolts 311. For example, the sampling volume can be reduced for low-concentration samples in the upper layer and increased for high-concentration samples in the lower layer. This invention is highly efficient and requires no spare containers, can adapt to different testing needs, and avoids waste caused by excessive emulsifier sampling.

[0044] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
