Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rice detection, in particular to a rice viscosity detector. Background Art

[0002] Rice viscosity is one of the important indicators to measure the quality of rice, which is directly related to the taste and edible value of rice. As time goes by, the viscosity of rice will gradually decrease during storage, and the taste quality will gradually deteriorate. Therefore, viscosity testing is very important for rice.

[0003] The existing rice viscosity detection method usually adopts a capillary viscometer, the principle of which is that when rice juice flows through the capillary, it has a certain flow rate due to gravity. Rice juice with high viscosity has a large internal friction and a slow flow rate, so it takes a long time to flow through the capillary; conversely, rice juice with low viscosity has a small internal friction, a fast flow rate, and a short time to flow through the capillary. The measurement of rice juice viscosity is to express its viscosity by the time it takes for the rice juice to flow through the capillary.

[0004] However, when the inspector observes the flow of rice juice, he usually holds the capillary viscometer in his hand, and the handheld operation makes it difficult to ensure the consistency of the position, angle and holding strength of the capillary during each measurement. In addition, when the user holds the capillary viscometer and is impacted by an external force, the capillary viscometer is easily separated from the palm, resulting in inaccurate test data and damage to the capillary viscometer. Therefore, the utility model aims to provide a rice viscosity detector that allows inspectors to protect the capillary viscometer when observing it. Utility Model Content

[0026] In order to prevent external forces from directly acting on the capillary viscometer 1, in this embodiment, the protective component 7 includes a fixed block 12, two rotating rods 13 and a transparent protective arc plate 14; the fixed block 12 is fixed on the peripheral side wall of the base 2, the two rotating rods 13 are rotatably arranged at intervals on the top of the fixed block 12, and a plurality of protective arc plates 14 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the rotating rods 13; the protective arc plates 14 on the two rotating rods 13 are suitable for driving the rotating rods 13 to rotate along their axes and enclose a circle, and the free ends of the protective arc plates 14 on the two rotating rods 13 can contact each other when enclosing a circle; when the user needs to protect the capillary viscometer 1, first, the two rotating rods 13 are rotated to rotate the protective arc plates 14 on the two rotating rods 13 along the axes of the rotating rods 13. In this process, the free ends of the protective arc plates 14 on the two rotating rods 13 will approach each other, and finally contact each other when enclosing a circle to form a circular protective space to prevent external forces from directly acting on the capillary viscometer 1.

[0027] In order to improve the stability of the protective arc plate 14 when shielding the capillary viscometer 1, in this embodiment, the protective arc plates 14 on the two rotating rods 13 are suitable for being selectively relatively fixed by a locking device 15 when they are enclosed in a circle; when the free ends of the protective arc plates 14 on the two rotating rods 13 approach and contact each other, the locking device 15 is used to relatively fix the protective arc plates 14 on the two rotating rods 13, thereby improving the stability of the protective arc plates 14 when they are enclosed in a circle.
