Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of liquid beverage detection, in particular to a material quality detection device for beverage processing. Background Art

[0002] In the beverage processing industry, material quality testing is a key link to ensure product safety, taste and quality. With consumers' increasing requirements for beverage quality and increasingly stringent food safety regulations, higher requirements are placed on the accuracy and comprehensiveness of quality testing equipment.

[0003] The liquid beverage processing material quality inspection equipment widely used in the market, such as spectrophotometers and chromatographs, performs well in the inspection of transparent or translucent liquids and can accurately analyze the composition and content of the liquid. However, when faced with non-transparent liquids (such as certain fruit juices, milk drinks, etc.), the inspection capabilities of these devices are limited. Due to the optical properties of non-transparent liquids, it is difficult for light to penetrate the interior of the liquid, resulting in the inability of the inspection equipment to directly obtain detailed information about the central area of ​​the liquid. The composition and state of the liquid surface and the central area may be different, and surface inspection alone cannot fully reflect the overall quality of liquid beverage processing materials.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a detection device that is suitable for different types of liquid beverage processing materials, such as transparent and non-transparent, and can accurately analyze the trace components and subtle changes in various parts of non-transparent liquids. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a material quality detection device for beverage processing, which can improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the quality detection of non-transparent liquid beverage materials.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A material quality detection device for beverage processing, comprising a tube body arranged on the passage of the beverage processing production line; a stirring component for generating turbulence for liquid materials is arranged in the inlet end of the tube body; a through groove is arranged in the tube body, the through groove is arranged along the length direction of the tube body, a transparent carrier is arranged in the through groove, the transparent carrier is arranged along the length direction of the through groove, and a light-emitting part is arranged in the transparent carrier; a supporting component for suspending the transparent carrier in the through groove is arranged on the transparent carrier; and a detection component is arranged on the side wall of the through groove.

[0008] The above scheme has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] 1. This solution installs the tube body on the passage of the beverage processing production line and uses the stirring assembly to stir the liquid material transported on the production line to generate turbulence. At this time, the components of the central area and the edge area of ​​the liquid material will be constantly exchanged. When the liquid material flows into the through groove, light is emitted through the light-emitting component. Since the transparent carrier is suspended in the through groove, the liquid material will flow along the surface of the transparent carrier and flow into the area between the transparent carrier and the side wall of the through groove, thereby reducing the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid material, allowing the light to pass through the liquid material more easily and then be received and detected by the detection assembly.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this solution can detect the components of each area in the liquid material, not just the surface of the liquid material. When the liquid material is a non-transparent liquid, due to the limitation of the transparent carrier, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid material in the through groove will be greatly reduced, so that the light can pass through a thinner area when penetrating the liquid material, reducing the scattering and absorption of light in the liquid material (such as juice, fruits and vegetables, etc.), thereby improving the efficiency of light penetration and the accuracy of detection.

[0011] 2. In this solution, the turbulence generated by the stirring assembly at the inlet end of the tube body allows the components of the central area and the edge area of ​​the liquid material to be fully mixed and exchanged during the flow. In this way, when the liquid material flows through the through slot, the components of each area are more uniform, thereby avoiding the detection blind area caused by uneven distribution of components and significantly improving the comprehensiveness of the detection.

[0012] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a turbine, which is fixedly connected to the tube body; the turbine has a second motor built in it.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The rotation of the turbine can generate strong shear force and eddy current effect, effectively mixing and exchanging the components in the liquid material. In addition, the turbulence generated by the rotation of the turbine not only enhances the mixing inside the liquid material, but also promotes the dynamic exchange of the material during the flow process. This turbulent effect enables the central area and the edge area of ​​the liquid material to continuously exchange, reducing the detection error caused by uneven distribution of components. At the same time, the turbulence also helps to wash away impurities that may be attached to the tube wall or transparent carrier, further improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0014] Furthermore, the light emitting element is an LED lamp tube.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Compared with traditional light sources, LED tubes have lower energy consumption and longer service life. In an environment such as a beverage processing production line that requires long-term operation, using LED tubes as light-emitting components can not only reduce energy consumption costs.

[0016] Furthermore, the supporting assembly includes a first circular ring bracket and a second circular ring bracket; the first circular ring bracket is located in the through groove at one end close to the turbine, and the second circular ring bracket is located in the through groove at one end away from the turbine; an electric slip ring for transmitting electric energy to the LED lamp tube is arranged at the axis of the first circular ring bracket, the rotor of the electric slip ring is fixedly connected to the transparent carrier, and the stator of the electric slip ring is fixedly connected to the axis of the first circular ring bracket; a sealing box is arranged at the axis of the second circular ring bracket; a connecting rod is arranged on the sealing box, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the transparent carrier, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the sealing box; a first motor is arranged in the sealing box, the output shaft of the first motor passes through the sealing box, and the output shaft of the first motor is axially fixedly connected to the connecting rod.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The rotor of the electric slip ring is fixedly connected to the transparent carrier, and the stator is fixed to the axis of the first circular bracket, so that even if the transparent carrier is rotating, the electric slip ring can stably transmit electric energy to the LED lamp tube, ensuring the continuous emission of light and continuous detection. At the same time, the sealing box and the first motor combination on the second circular bracket are responsible for driving the rotation of the transparent carrier, and the output shaft of the first motor is axially fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and the power is transmitted to the transparent carrier through the connecting rod, realizing the stable rotation of the transparent carrier.

[0018] The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the transparent carrier makes the flow behavior of the liquid material in the slot more regular, especially when the liquid material contains suspended particles, bubbles or components of different densities, the rotation can effectively promote the uniform distribution of these components in the radial direction, reduce the inhomogeneity of light scattering and light absorption, and thus improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection component. At the same time, because the liquid material is close to the side wall of the slot, the propagation path length of the light in the liquid is reduced, so that the light can penetrate the liquid faster and more directly, improving the detection efficiency.

[0019] Furthermore, the detection component includes a transparent layer arranged on the side wall of the through groove; a plurality of arc plates are arranged on the transparent layer, and adjacent arc plates are detachably connected; a plurality of photoelectric detectors for measuring light signals are arranged in the arc plates, and the photoelectric detector array is arranged in the arc plates; and the photoelectric detectors are all electrically connected to the signal processing system.

[0020] Beneficial effect: The light is emitted by the LED lamp tube, and after passing through the liquid material, it is collected by the photoelectric detector, and the collected signal is processed by the signal processing system to detect the composition and content of the liquid material.

[0021] The photoelectric detector array is arranged in the arc plate so that the detection area can cover multiple positions of the side wall of the through groove, thereby realizing comprehensive capture of light signals at different positions in the liquid material.

[0022] Adjacent curved plates are connected in a detachable manner, which allows the detection components to be flexibly adjusted according to actual detection needs. In addition, when the curved plates are wrapped around the tube body, they can form a closed dark space, effectively isolating the interference of external light.

[0023] Furthermore, flanges are fixedly connected at both ends of the tube body.

[0024] Beneficial effects: By arranging flanges at both ends of the pipe body, the detection device can be quickly and conveniently connected and disassembled with other equipment or pipelines on the beverage processing production line, which not only improves production efficiency but also facilitates equipment maintenance, overhaul or replacement when necessary.

[0025] Furthermore, the transparent carrier is a hollow cylinder with a hemispherical bottom.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The hemispherical structure helps to guide the liquid material between the through slot and the transparent carrier, and the cylindrical structure helps the liquid material to be evenly and stably distributed around the transparent carrier during the detection process when centrifuged. Since the cylindrical structure has good mechanical properties, it can ensure that the liquid material is evenly stressed and dispersed during the rotation process. This evenly dispersed liquid material can better interact with light, allowing the photodetector to capture more comprehensive and accurate light signals.

[0027] Furthermore, the transparent carrier maintains a preset distance from the side wall of the through slot.

[0028] Beneficial effect: Ensure that the light penetrates the liquid material more evenly. Since the space between the transparent carrier and the side wall of the through slot is constant, the light will not be affected by the shape or size changes of the side wall when penetrating the liquid material, thereby improving the uniformity and consistency of detection.

[0029] Furthermore, an alarm is provided on the tube body, and the alarm is electrically connected to the signal processing system.

[0030] Beneficial effects: When the signal processing system detects abnormal components, excessive content or other unexpected conditions in the liquid material, it can immediately trigger the alarm. Through timely warning, operators can quickly locate the source of the problem and take targeted measures to solve it.

[0031] Furthermore, a valve is provided in the outlet end of the tube body, and the valve is electrically connected to the signal processing system.

[0032] Beneficial effects: When the signal processing system detects abnormal components, excessive content or other unexpected conditions in the liquid material, in addition to triggering the alarm to remind the operator, it can also immediately control the valve to close through electrical signals. This function of instantly cutting off the flow of materials can quickly prevent abnormal materials from continuing to enter the subsequent production links and avoid the expansion of problems.
