Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food testing and pretreatment equipment technology, specifically to an automated homogenization and extraction integrated device for food testing. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing global concern over food safety, food testing has become a crucial means of ensuring public health and food quality. Harmful substances, additives, pesticide residues, and other contaminants in food can pose serious threats to human health. Therefore, effectively detecting various components in food and ensuring food safety has become a key focus for governments, research institutions, and enterprises worldwide. To meet these needs, traditional food testing methods typically include two important steps: sample homogenization and extraction. These two steps are indispensable parts of food analysis. Homogenization makes food samples more uniform, allowing their components to be better utilized for subsequent testing. Extraction, on the other hand, is the key process for extracting target components or contaminants from food samples.

[0003] However, traditional detection methods usually separate the homogenization and extraction processes, and each step typically requires separate equipment. In this mode, operators usually need to transfer samples from one device to another for different processing steps, which not only increases the complexity of the operation but also increases the chance of human error. Furthermore, after sample processing, residues may remain inside the storage containers, requiring manual cleaning of the tools by staff, which is quite troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Working principle: In use, place food inside the storage container 308, then hold the handle 307 and slide the tray 309 at the lower end of the storage container 308 into the placement slot 305. When it reaches the last end, the arc-shaped pressure plate 306 holds the tray 309 in place to prevent it from moving upwards. Then, activate the first electric telescopic rod 311, which drives the first support plate 301 to descend, causing the lower end of the closing plate 303 to fit against the upper surface of the storage container 308. Then, activate the drive motor 302, which drives the drive shaft 312 to rotate at high speed, thereby causing the drive shaft 312 to... Multiple shredding blades 304 rotate to shred the food. After shredding, the container 308 is pulled out of the placement slot 305 using the handle 307, and then placed into the upper end of the rotating disk 504 through the bottom positioning slot 310, so that the positioning block 505 fits into the positioning slot 310. Then, an appropriate amount of solvent is poured into the container 308. The second electric telescopic rod 502 then lowers the second support plate 501, which in turn lowers the pressure plate 503, thus bringing the pressure plate 503 into contact with the container 308. The surfaces are then bonded together, and the second electric telescopic rod 502 is lowered a certain distance to apply prestress to the pressure plate 503 in conjunction with the damping spring 510. Then, the rotary motor 507 is started, causing the rotating disk 504 to rotate intermittently. This rotating disk 504, through the positioning block 505 and positioning groove 310, drives the storage container 308 to rotate, thus mixing the solvent and food residue. After mixing, the worker uses a dropper to extract a portion of the liquid for testing. After testing, the worker manually inverts the storage container 308. Inside the fitting frame 401, the water pump 405 is started. The water pump 405 draws the cleaning agent from the water storage chamber 404 and delivers it to the inside of the flow channel 409. The agent is then sprayed onto the inner bottom surface of the storage tank 308. The cleaning motor 406 is then started, causing the cleaning motor 406 to drive the drive gear 407 to rotate at high speed. This causes the drive gear 407 to mesh with the driven gear, driving the cleaning shaft 402 to rotate. This causes the cleaning shaft 402 to drive the cleaning brush 403 to rotate, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the storage tank 308 in conjunction with the sprayed cleaning agent. The cleaned wastewater flows into the wastewater chamber 410.
