Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of temperature measurement, specifically a temperature measuring device for chicken powder production. Background Technology
[0002] Chicken meal is a high-protein animal-derived feed ingredient made from livestock and poultry by-products through crushing, cooking, separation, drying, and pulverizing. The processed chicken meal can be used as a pet food additive. During the processing of chicken meal, when using a belt dryer to dry the material, intelligent temperature sensors are often used to measure the material's temperature.
[0003] However, during the temperature measurement process, existing smart temperature sensors encounter a problem: during the drying stage, the material becomes highly adhesive due to the softening of oils and the increased viscosity of proteins. As a result, when the probe is inserted into the material for temperature measurement, the material easily adheres to and coats the probe surface, preventing the probe from directly contacting the new material. Consequently, the temperature detected is only the temperature of the material wrapped around the probe, rather than the real-time temperature of the material, leading to inaccurate temperature measurement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a temperature measuring device for chicken powder production.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a temperature measuring device for chicken powder production, comprising a support frame and an intelligent temperature sensor.

Two curved frames are symmetrically fixedly installed at the front end of the support frame, and scrapers are rotatably installed at the ends of both curved frames. Top sleeves are elastically installed on opposite sides of both curved frames. A concave seat extends from the front end of the top sleeve, and a pusher frame is rotatably installed inside the concave seat. The end of the pusher frame is rotatably connected to the scraper. A control wheel is installed at the rear end of the top sleeve, and the control wheel is attached to the side of the control plate rail.
[0006] Preferably, guide posts are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two bending frames, the top sleeve is slidably installed on the outer surface of the guide posts, and a limit cap is coaxially fixedly installed on the outer surface of the guide posts on one side of the top sleeve.
[0007] Preferably, a convex cap is coaxially fixedly installed at the end of the guide post, and a push spring is wound around the outside of the guide post. One end of the push spring is fixed to the convex cap, and the other end of the push spring is fixed to the other side of the top sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, the upper outer surface of the probe of the intelligent temperature sensor is fitted with a front sleeve and a rear sleeve, a bolt is provided through the rear sleeve and the front sleeve, the rear end of the rear sleeve is fixed to the front end of the connecting frame, and the rear end of the bearing frame is fixedly installed with a mounting bracket.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating cleaning component includes housings fixedly installed at both ends of the support frame. A dial shaft is rotatably installed on the opposite surfaces of the two housings. Multiple paddles are fixedly installed in a circular array on the outer surface of the dial shaft. The outer surfaces of the paddles and the outer surfaces of the scrapers are both smoothly arranged. A rack is slidably arranged inside the housing, and the rack extends through the upper end of the housing.
[0010] Preferably, a servo pusher is fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the support frame, a V-shaped frame is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo pusher, a control frame is fixedly installed at the front end of the V-shaped frame, the two ends of the control frame are fixed to the rack, and the connecting frame is fixed to the middle part of the control frame.
[0011] Preferably, a first pinion is engaged at the front end of the rack, an upper drive shaft is fixedly installed through the middle of the first pinion, the upper drive shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing, a large gear is coaxially fixedly installed on the outer surface of the upper drive shaft to the side of the first pinion, a second pinion is engaged at the lower part of the large gear, a lower drive shaft is fixedly installed through the middle of the second pinion, the lower drive shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing, a large pulley is coaxially fixedly installed on the outer surface of the lower drive shaft to the side of the second pinion, the end of the shift shaft extends into the interior of the housing, a small pulley is coaxially fixedly installed on the end of the shift shaft, and a synchronous belt connects the small pulley and the large pulley.
[0012] Preferably, a T-shaped guide bar is fixedly installed at the rear end of the housing, and the rack is slidably installed on the outer surface of the T-shaped guide bar.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The moving connecting frame can move the probe of the intelligent temperature sensor upward to extract the probe from the material. During this process, the connecting frame also moves the control plate rail upward, while the control wheel rolls on the vertical plane of the control plate rail. When the lower part of the probe moves upward and approaches the height of the scraper, the control wheel just rolls to the inclined surface of the control plate rail. Then the connecting frame continues to move the control plate rail and the probe upward. At this time, the top sleeve moves under the action of elasticity, allowing the control wheel to roll along the inclined surface of the control plate rail and causing the pusher frame to move to push the scraper, so that the scrapers on both sides can rotate and close in opposite directions to wrap around the lower part of the probe. At this time, the control plate rail just separates from the control wheel. Then the connecting frame continues to move the control plate rail and the probe upward. When the probe moves upward, the scraper wrapped around the lower part of the probe will scrape off the material attached to the probe, exposing the measuring part of the probe. When inserted into the material, it can come into contact with new material for temperature measurement, avoiding the phenomenon that the temperature measurement cannot be accurately measured due to the constant attachment of material. This improves the accuracy of temperature measurement.
[0014] 2. When the connecting frame moves, causing the probe to move down and re-insert into the material, and driving the closed scraper to rotate in the opposite direction to reset, the rack will move synchronously, thereby driving the first pinion to rotate. This rotation, through the large gear and the second pinion, drives the lower shaft to rotate faster. In turn, through the large pulley, the small pulley, and the timing belt, it drives the paddle on the paddle shaft to rotate faster. The rapidly rotating paddle contacts the lower end of the scraper to remove the material scraped off by the scraper, allowing it to fall back into the material to continue drying. This reduces material loss and avoids the need for manual cleaning of the scraper, effectively simplifying the use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] This invention provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-8The temperature measuring device shown includes a support frame 1 and an intelligent temperature sensor 5. The intelligent temperature sensor 5 measures the temperature. Rotary cleaning components are installed at both ends of the support frame 1, and a connecting frame 6 is installed on the rotating cleaning components. The probe 4 of the intelligent temperature sensor 5 is connected to the front end of the connecting frame 6, which supports the probe 4. A rail frame 12 is fixedly installed at the rear edge of the lower end of the connecting frame 6, and a control plate rail 13 is fixedly installed at the end of the rail frame 12. The rail frame 12 fixes the control plate rail 13. When the control plate rail 13 moves downward, the inclined surface of the control plate rail 13 pushes the control plate rail 13 downward. The control wheel 36 moves laterally, which in turn drives the top sleeve 33 to move laterally and reset, thereby causing the closed scraper 14 to rotate and reset in the opposite direction. Two curved frames 3 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the front end of the support frame 1. The scraper 14 is rotatably installed at the end of each of the two curved frames 3. The curved frames 3 serve to support the scraper 14. The top sleeve 33 is elastically installed on the opposite side of each of the two curved frames 3. The front end of the top sleeve 33 extends to a concave seat 32. A pusher frame 31 is rotatably installed inside the concave seat 32. The concave seat 32 facilitates the connection of the pusher frame 31. The end of the pusher frame 31 is rotatably connected to the scraper 14. The control wheel 36 is installed at the rear end of the top sleeve 33. The control wheel 36 is attached to the side of the control rail 13. Through the moving connecting frame 6, it can drive the probe 4 of the intelligent temperature sensor 5 to move upward, so as to pull the probe 4 out of the material. During this process, the connecting frame 6 will also drive the control rail 13 to move upward, while the control wheel 36 rolls on the vertical plane of the control rail 13. When the lower part of the probe 4 moves upward and approaches the height of the scraper 14, the control wheel 36 just rolls to the inclined surface of the control rail 13. Then the connecting frame 6 continues to drive the control rail 13 and the probe 4 to move upward. At this time, the top sleeve 33 moves under the action of elasticity, allowing the control wheel 36 to roll along the inclined surface of the control rail 13 and the pusher frame. Movement 31 pushes the scraper 14, causing the scrapers 14 on both sides to rotate and close in opposite directions, wrapping around the lower part of the probe 4. At this time, the control rail 13 is just separated from the control wheel 36. Then, the connecting frame 6 continues to drive the control rail 13 and the probe 4 to move upward. When the probe 4 moves upward, the scraper 14 wrapped around the lower part of the probe 4 will scrape off the material attached to the probe 4, exposing the measuring part of the probe 4. When inserted into the material, it can come into contact with the new material to measure the temperature, avoiding the inability to contact the new material due to the material always being attached, thus improving the accuracy of temperature measurement.
[0019] Guide posts 29 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two bending frames 3. The top sleeve 33 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the guide post 29. The guide post 29 serves to allow the top sleeve 33 to slide. A limit cap 30 is coaxially fixedly installed on the outer surface of the guide post 29 on one side of the top sleeve 33. When the scrapers 14 on both sides rotate and close in opposite directions, the top sleeve 33 just hits the limit cap 30 to limit the movement.
[0020] A convex cap 34 is coaxially fixed to the end of the guide post 29. A push spring 35 is wound around the outside of the guide post 29. The convex cap 34 serves to support the push spring 35. One end of the push spring 35 is fixed to the convex cap 34, and the other end of the push spring 35 is fixed to the other side of the top sleeve 33. When the control rail 13 moves upward, the push spring 35 can push the top sleeve 33 to move, thereby driving the push frame 31 to move, so as to push the scraper 14, so that the scrapers 14 on both sides can rotate and close in opposite directions. The inner corner of the semi-circular hole on the scraper 14, that is, the corner near the direction of the bending frame 3, is set with an arc, so as to ensure that the scraper 14 is not obstructed by the probe 4 during rotation.
[0021] The probe 4 of the intelligent temperature sensor 5 is fitted with a front sleeve 27 and a rear sleeve 26 on its upper outer surface. The fit between the rear sleeve 26 and the front sleeve 27 can fix the probe 4 to the connecting frame 6. A bolt 28 is provided through the rear sleeve 26 and the front sleeve 27. The bolt 28 serves to fix the rear sleeve 26 and the front sleeve 27 together. The rear end of the rear sleeve 26 is fixed to the front end of the connecting frame 6. The rear end of the support frame 1 is fixedly installed with a mounting bracket 11. The mounting bracket 11 can facilitate the installation of the support frame 1 in the belt dryer, so that the probe 4 can be installed in the belt dryer and the lower part of the probe 4 can be inserted into the material for temperature measurement.
[0022] The rotating cleaning component includes housings 2 fixedly installed at both ends of the support frame 1. The housings 2 serve as covers. A rotary shaft 22 is rotatably installed on the opposite surfaces of the two housings 2. Multiple paddles 25 are fixedly installed in a ring array on the outer surface of the rotary shaft 22. The rotary shaft 22 serves to support the paddles 25. The outer surfaces of the paddles 25 and the outer surfaces of the scraper 14 are both smooth. The smooth surface of the scraper 14 reduces adhesion, making it easier for the paddles 25 to remove material from the scraper 14. The smooth surface of the paddles 25 reduces adhesion, so that the material adhering to the paddles 25 is thrown off when the paddles 25 rotate rapidly. A rack 8 is slidably installed inside the housing 2, and the rack 8 extends through the upper end of the housing 2.
[0023] A servo push cylinder 10 is fixedly installed at the upper middle part of the support frame 1. A V-shaped frame 9 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo push cylinder 10. A control frame 7 is fixedly installed at the front end of the V-shaped frame 9. The V-shaped frame 9 serves to fix the output end of the servo push cylinder 10 and the control frame 7 together. The servo push cylinder 10 serves to drive the control frame 7 to move up and down. The two ends of the control frame 7 are fixed to the rack 8. The connecting frame 6 is fixed to the middle part of the control frame 7. The control frame 7 serves to drive the rack 8 and the connecting frame 6 to move up and down.
[0024] The front end of rack 8 meshes with a first pinion 17. A load shaft 16 is fixedly mounted through the middle of the first pinion 17. The engagement between rack 8 and the first pinion 17 drives the load shaft 16 to rotate. The load shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of housing 2. A large gear 18 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the load shaft 16, located to the side of the first pinion 17. The load shaft 16 supports the first pinion 17 and the large gear 18. A second pinion 23 meshes with the lower part of the large gear 18. The engagement between the large gear 18 and the second pinion 23 drives the download shaft 20 to rotate rapidly. The download shaft 20 is fixedly mounted through the middle of the second pinion 23. The download shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of housing 2. A large pulley 19 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the download shaft 20, located to the side of the second pinion 23. The download shaft 20 supports the second pinion 23. 23. The large pulley 19 bears the load. The end of the actuating shaft 22 extends into the housing 2. A small pulley 21 is coaxially fixed to the end of the actuating shaft 22. A synchronous belt 24 connects the small pulley 21 and the large pulley 19. When the connecting frame 6 moves, it drives the probe 4 to move down and re-insert into the material, and drives the closed scraper 14 to rotate in the opposite direction to reset. The rack 8 will move synchronously, thereby driving the first pinion 17 to rotate. This drives the lower shaft 20 to rotate faster through the large gear 18 and the second pinion 23. Then, through the large pulley 19, the small pulley 21, and the synchronous belt 24, it drives the actuating blade 25 on the actuating shaft 22 to rotate faster. The rapidly rotating actuating blade 25 contacts the lower end of the scraper 14 to remove the material scraped off the lower end of the scraper 14, allowing it to fall back into the material to continue drying. This reduces material loss and avoids the need for manual cleaning of the scraper 14, effectively facilitating use.
[0025] A T-shaped guide bar 15 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the housing 2. The rack 8 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the T-shaped guide bar 15, and the T-shaped guide bar 15 serves to guide the rack 8.
[0026] During temperature measurement, the probe 4 of the intelligent temperature sensor 5 can be installed inside the belt dryer using the mounting bracket 11, allowing the lower part of the probe 4 to be inserted into the material for temperature measurement. Simultaneously, the intelligent temperature sensor 5 can be installed outside the dryer for easy viewing of the measured temperature values. After a period of measurement, the connecting bracket 6 on the control frame 7 can be moved upwards via the servo push cylinder 10, thereby moving the probe 4 of the intelligent temperature sensor 5 upwards to extract the probe 4 from the material. During this process, the connecting bracket 6 also moves the control plate rail 13 upwards, while the control wheel 36 moves upwards. As the vertical plane of the control rail 13 rolls, when the lower part of the probe 4 moves upward and approaches the height of the scraper 14, the control wheel 36 rolls to the inclined surface of the control rail 13. Then, the connecting frame 6 continues to move the control rail 13 and the probe 4 upward. At this time, the top sleeve 33 moves under the action of elasticity, causing the control wheel 36 to roll along the inclined surface of the control rail 13 and the pusher frame 31 to move, pushing the scraper 14 so that the scrapers 14 on both sides can rotate and close in opposite directions to wrap around the lower part of the probe 4. At this point, the control rail 13 separates from the control wheel 36. Then, the connecting frame 6 continues to move... As the motion-controlled guide rail 13 and probe 4 move upwards, the scraper 14 covering the lower part of probe 4 scrapes off the material adhering to probe 4, exposing the measuring part of probe 4. This allows it to contact new material for temperature measurement when inserted into the material, preventing inaccurate temperature measurements due to material adhering to it. Subsequently, the servo push cylinder 10 moves the connecting bracket 6 on the control frame 7 downwards, causing probe 4 to re-insert into the material for temperature measurement. This also drives the closed scraper 14 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. The control frame 7 also drives the rack 8 to move synchronously, thereby driving the first pinion 17 to rotate. This drives the download shaft 20 to rotate faster via the large gear 18 and the second pinion 23. In turn, the large pulley 19, the small pulley 21, and the synchronous belt 24 drive the paddle 25 on the paddle shaft 22 to rotate faster. The rapidly rotating paddle 25 contacts the lower end of the scraper 14, removing the material scraped off by the scraper 14 and allowing it to fall back into the material to continue drying. This reduces material loss and avoids the need for manual cleaning of the scraper 14, effectively simplifying the use.
