Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of grain detection. More specifically, this invention relates to an intelligent detection device for food production. Background Technology

[0002] Corn hardness testing is a key step in evaluating corn quality, especially for processing applications such as grinding, milling, and pressing for oil extraction. Hardness directly affects processing efficiency and finished product quality.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used method for testing hardness is the compression method, which involves applying progressively increasing pressure to a single corn kernel until it bursts, and then assessing its hardness by recording the pressure value at the moment of bursting. However, existing testing equipment typically places the flat corn kernel on a testing platform, with the pressure head applied to the wide, flat surface of the kernel, measuring its resistance to compression in the horizontal direction.

[0004] Due to equipment structural limitations, it is difficult to test corn kernels vertically, thus making it impossible to obtain their compressive strength in the vertical direction (i.e., along the endosperm thickness). Mechanical properties may differ in different directions; testing only the hardness in a single direction results in incomplete test results that cannot accurately reflect the comprehensive performance of corn kernels under multi-directional stress during actual processing, affecting the accurate assessment of processing characteristics. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing equipment, which makes it difficult to test the pressure resistance of corn kernels when they are upright, and the test results are singular and cannot truly reflect the comprehensive performance of corn kernels under multi-directional forces during actual processing, thus affecting the accurate assessment of processing characteristics, this invention provides an intelligent testing device for food production.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: an intelligent detection device for food production, comprising a base and a bracket fixed to the base; a pressure gauge is fixedly mounted on the bracket; it also includes a first pressure block, a second pressure block, a third pressure block, a driving component, and a fixing component; the movable end of the pressure gauge is fixedly mounted on the first pressure block; the second pressure block is connected to the base; the third pressure block is detachably connected to the second pressure block; a through groove is provided in the middle of the third pressure block; the driving component is connected to the base; the driving component is used to drive the second pressure block to move up and down; the fixing component is connected to the third pressure block; the fixing component is used to fix the corn kernels.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a limiting rod, a threaded rod, and a sleeve; the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the base; the threaded rod is slidably connected to the limiting rod, and the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the pressure block; the sleeve is rotatably connected to the base, and the sleeve is screwed to the threaded rod.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the fixing component includes a fixing block 1 and a spring 1; a plurality of fixing blocks 1 are slidably connected to the pressure block 3; an inclined surface is provided on the fixing block 1; a plurality of springs 1 are fixedly connected to each fixing block 1, and the springs 1 are fixedly connected to the pressure block 3.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one surface of the fixing block is configured as a smooth surface.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a movable block; the movable block is slidably connected to the pressure block two, and the movable block can move up and down.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a second spring; a plurality of second springs are fixedly connected to the movable block, and the second springs are fixedly connected to the second pressure block.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the pressure block three is provided with a plurality of cavities one, and the cavities one are connected to the through groove.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a quick-release assembly, which includes a connecting block 1, a fixing block 2, a connecting block 3, and a spring 3; a plurality of connecting blocks 1 are fixedly connected to the pressing block 2; a fixing block 2 is slidably connected to each connecting block 1; a connecting block 2 is fixedly connected to each fixing block 2; a spring 3 is fixedly connected to each connecting block 2, and the spring 3 is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting block 1.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second fixing block is provided with a chamfer.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support is a telescopic structure.

[0016] Beneficial effects: 1. By using the combination of pressure block three, fixing block one, and spring one, the corn kernels are fixed in a vertical position. Then, the corn kernels are squeezed by pressure block one and pressure block two to measure the hardness data of the corn kernels in the vertical direction. After disassembling pressure block three and its parts, the corn kernels can be placed horizontally on pressure block two to measure the hardness data of the corn kernels in the horizontal direction. This avoids the problem of single test results in existing equipment and can more accurately evaluate the processing characteristics of corn.

[0017] Second, while guiding the threaded rod, the limiting rod also limits the movable block, allowing the movable block to push the residue in the through groove to the upper side of the pressure block, thus avoiding the problem of difficult cleaning.

[0018] Third, the movable block is not only used to remove residues in the transparent trough, but also serves as a positioning reference when placing corn kernels, making it easier for people to place the corn kernels at the detection position.

[0019] Fourth, by opening a cavity one on the pressure block three, the residue remaining in cavity two is transferred and collected in cavity one, thus preventing the residue remaining in cavity two from falling back into the through groove and interfering with the next test.

[0020] 5. The permeable groove is used to collect residue and is also used to fix and position the pressure block 3 in conjunction with the fixing block 2, so that the permeable groove on the pressure block 3 is aligned with the movable block, so as to facilitate the subsequent residue cleaning operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] Example 1: An intelligent detection device for food production, such as... Figures 1-9 As shown, it includes a base 1, a bracket 2, and a pressure gauge 3; the bracket 2 is bolted to the base 1; the pressure gauge 3 is fixed to the bracket 2; it also includes a pressure block 4, a pressure block 5, a pressure block 6, a drive assembly, and a fixing assembly; the movable end of the pressure gauge 3 is bolted to the pressure block 4, which is made of alloy material; the pressure block 5 is connected to the upper side of the base 1; the pressure block 6 is detachably connected to the upper side of the pressure block 5; the pressure block 6 has a through groove 91 in the middle; the drive assembly is connected to the base 1; and the fixing assembly is connected to the pressure block 6.

[0033] The drive assembly includes a limit rod 201, a threaded rod 202, and a sleeve 203; the limit rod 201 is welded to the base 1; the threaded rod 202 is slidably connected to the limit rod 201, and the threaded rod 202 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 5; the sleeve 203 is screwed onto the threaded rod 202, and the sleeve 203 is rotatably connected to the base 1.

[0034] The fixing component includes a fixing block 204 and a spring 205; two fixing blocks 204 are slidably connected to the pressure block 6; the fixing blocks 204 have inclined surfaces; two springs 205 are fixedly connected to each fixing block 204, and the springs 205 are fixedly connected to the pressure block 6, and the springs 205 are made of metal.

[0035] The surface of the fixed block 204 is set to be smooth to reduce friction.

[0036] When testing the horizontal hardness of corn kernels, the pressure block 3 (6) is manually removed, and the flat corn kernels are placed on the upper side of pressure block 2 (5). Then, the sleeve 203 is manually rotated, and the sleeve 203 drives the threaded rod 202 to slide upward along the limiting rod 201, thereby causing pressure block 2 (5) and the corn kernels to rise together. When the upper side of the corn kernels contacts pressure block 1 (4), the sleeve 203 is rotated again, and the corn kernels are slowly squeezed by pressure block 1 (4) and pressure block 2 (5) until the corn kernels are broken. During this process, the squeezing pressure is transmitted to the pressure gauge 3 through pressure block 1 (4). The maximum pressure value measured by the pressure gauge 3 is the pressure experienced when the corn kernels are broken. This data reflects the hardness of the corn kernels.

[0037] When testing the hardness of corn kernels in the vertical direction (i.e., along the endosperm thickness direction), the operator manually reinstalls the pressure block 3 (6) back into its original position. Then, the corn kernel is vertically inserted into the through groove 91. The kernel moves downwards and contacts the inclined surface of the fixing block 1 (204), which then pushes the fixing block 1 (204) to move horizontally, compressing the spring 1 (205). The kernel continues downwards until it contacts the pressure block 2 (5). Then, the operator manually rotates the sleeve 203, causing the threaded rod 202 to move the pressure block 2 (5) and its components upwards, thus moving the vertically positioned corn kernel upwards to contact the pressure block 1 (4). The operator continues to rotate the sleeve 203, causing the pressure block 2 (5) to slowly move the corn kernel upwards. Thus, through the cooperation of the pressure blocks 1 (4) and 2 (5), the vertically positioned corn kernel is tested. The corn kernels are crushed by compression. During this process, the compression force is transmitted to the pressure gauge 3 through the pressure block 4. The maximum pressure value measured by the pressure gauge 3 is the pressure exerted on the corn kernels when they are crushed. This data reflects the hardness of the corn kernels. In use, the corn kernels are kept vertical by the cooperation of the pressure block 6, the fixing block 204, and the spring 205. Then, the corn kernels are crushed by the pressure blocks 4 and 5 to measure the hardness data of the corn kernels in the vertical direction. After disassembling the pressure block 6 and its parts, the corn kernels can be placed horizontally on the pressure block 25 to measure the hardness data of the corn kernels in the horizontal direction. This avoids the problem of single test results in existing equipment and can more accurately evaluate the processing characteristics of corn.

[0038] It also includes a movable block 206; the movable block 206 is slidably connected to the pressure block 2 5.

[0039] It also includes a second spring 207; two second springs 207 are fixedly connected between the pressure block 25 and the movable block 206.

[0040] After the test, broken corn kernels remain in the through groove 91. Due to the constraint of the fixed block 204, even a brush cannot completely clean the residue from the through groove 91, thus interfering with the next test. Therefore, a sliding movable block 206 is installed on the pressure block 5. After the test, the sleeve 203 is manually rotated, causing the sleeve 203 to drive the threaded rod 202 downwards. The threaded rod 202 drives the pressure block 5 and its parts downwards, causing the lower side of the movable block 206 to abut against the limiting rod 201. The sleeve 203 is then manually rotated, at which point the limiting rod 201 blocks and limits the movable block 206, causing it to move upwards relative to the pressure block 5 and affecting the spring 2. 07. Stretch the block. The movable block 206 moves upward to contact the inclined surface of the fixed block 204, then pushes the fixed block 204 horizontally and compresses the spring 205, thereby pushing the fixed block 204 to the inside of the pressure block 6. The movable block 206 continues to move upward until its upper side is flush with the upper side of the pressure block 6, thus pushing the residue in the through groove 91 to the upper side of the pressure block 6. At this point, it can be easily brushed away manually, making cleaning convenient. In use, the limiting rod 201, which guides the threaded rod 202, can also be used to limit the movable block 206, causing it to push the residue in the through groove 91 to the upper side of the pressure block 6, avoiding the problem of difficult cleaning.

[0041] Two cavities 92 are formed on the pressure block 3 6, and the cavities 92 are connected to the through groove 91.

[0042] When testing the horizontal hardness of corn kernels, the operator removes the pressure block 3 6, exposing the movable block 206. The upper side of the movable block 206 is flush with the upper side of the pressure block 2 5, and the movable block 206 is located in the middle of the pressure block 2 5. Then, using the movable block 206 as a reference, the operator places the corn kernels flat on the middle of the upper side of the whole formed by the pressure block 2 5 and the movable block 206, aligning the corn kernels with the pressure block 1 4, and then performs the compression test. In use, the movable block 206, which is used to remove residue from the permeable groove 91, also serves as a positioning reference for the corn kernels, making it easier for the operator to place the corn kernels in the testing position.

[0043] During the process of the movable block 206 pushing the residue out of the through groove 91, the movable block 206 moves upward to contact the lower inclined surface of the fixed block 204, and then pushes the fixed block 204 to the inside of the pressure block 6. During this process, the edge of the movable block 206 will contact the lower inclined surface and the smaller long straight surface of the fixed block 204, but will not contact the upper inclined surface of the fixed block 204. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a cavity 93 is formed between the fixed block 204, the movable block 206, and the pressure block 6. During the upward movement of the movable block 206, a small amount of residue is pushed into the cavity 93, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Therefore, a cavity 92 is created on the pressure block 6. After the movable block 206 pushes the residue in the through groove 91 to the upper side of the pressure block 6 and removes it, the sleeve 203 is manually rotated, causing the threaded rod 202 to move the pressure block 5 and its components upward. This makes the upper side of the movable block 206 flush with the lower edge of the upper inclined surface of the fixed block 204, and simultaneously, the upper side of the movable block 206 flush with the upper opening of the cavity 92. At this time, the position of the movable block 206 is as follows: Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the residue in cavity 2 93 will slide down to the upper side of movable block 206. Then, a brush is used manually to push the residue forward or backward, causing it to fall into cavity 1 92 for collection. Then, the sleeve 203 is rotated to realign the upper side of movable block 206 with the upper side of pressure block 2 5 for the next test operation. In use, by opening cavity 1 92 on pressure block 3 6, the residue remaining in cavity 2 93 is transferred and collected in cavity 1 92, preventing the residue remaining in cavity 2 93 from falling back into the through groove 91 and interfering with the next test.

[0044] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a quick-release assembly, which includes a connecting block 1 208, a fixing block 2 209, a connecting block 2 2010, and a spring 3 2011; two connecting blocks 1 208 are welded on the pressure block 2 5; a fixing block 2 209 is slidably connected to each connecting block 1 208; a connecting block 2 2010 is fixedly connected to each fixing block 2 209; and a spring 3 2011 is fixedly connected between each connecting block 1 208 and its corresponding connecting block 2 2010.

[0045] The second fixing block 209 has a chamfer, which makes it easier to insert the second fixing block 209 into the first cavity 92.

[0046] The bracket 2 is a telescopic structure, which can adjust the position and height of the pressure gauge 3.

[0047] When switching test modes, it is necessary to disassemble and install the pressure block 36. During this process, the movable block 206 should be aligned with the through groove 91 so that the movable block 206 can be moved to the through groove 91 for residue cleaning. Therefore, when installing the pressure block 36 on the upper side of the pressure block 25, manually pull the connecting block 2010. The connecting block 2010 drives the fixed block 209 to move and stretch the spring 3011, so that the end of the fixed block 209 moves away from the upper side of the pressure block 25. Then, the pressure block 36 is placed on the upper side of the pressure block 25. At this time, the pressure block 36 is positioned by the two connecting blocks 1 208 so that the center of the pressure block 36 is aligned with the center of the pressure block 25. Then, stop pulling the connecting block 2010. 010, the spring 3 2011 rebounds, causing the connecting block 2 2010 to move. The connecting block 2 2010 then moves the fixing block 2 209, causing the end of the fixing block 2 209 to insert into the cavity 1 92, fixing the pressure block 3 6 onto the pressure block 2 5, thus completing the installation operation. At this time, the fixing block 2 209 and the cavity 1 92 cooperate to position the angle of the pressure block 3 6, aligning the through groove 91 on the pressure block 3 6 with the movable block 206, so as to facilitate subsequent residue cleaning operations. In use, the through groove 91, which is used to collect residue, is also used to cooperate with the fixing block 2 209 to fix and position the pressure block 3 6, aligning the through groove 91 on the pressure block 3 6 with the movable block 206, so as to facilitate subsequent residue cleaning operations.
