[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: A moisture detector for seafood products includes a body 1. Limit grooves 6 are opened at the four corners inside the body 1. A worm gear 7 is rotatably connected inside the limit groove 6. A threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worm gear 7. A sleeve rod 11 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 10. The bottom end of the sleeve rod 11 is fixedly connected to a chassis 13. Two limit blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve rod 11. A worm 8 is rotatably connected inside the limit groove 6. One end of the worm 8 penetrates through the outside of the body 1 and is fixedly connected to a turning handle 9. The machine cover 2 is hinged to the rear side of the top of the body 1. An installation shell 4 is installed on the inner top of the machine cover 2 through a clamping component. The outside of the worm 8 is meshed with the outside of the worm gear 7 close to it. The outside of the limit block 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the limit groove 6. The outside of the turning handle 9 is rotatably connected to the inside of the body 1. The outside of the sleeve rod 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the body 1.

[0026] Specifically, the worm gear 7 is rotatably connected to the inner top of the limit groove 6. The rotary worm 8 can be driven by the rotary handle 9, and then the worm 8 drives the worm gear 7 to rotate. When the worm gear 7 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate. Since the limiting blocks 12 are fixed on both sides of the sleeve rod 11, due to the limiting effect of the limit groove 6 on the limiting blocks 12, the sleeve rod 11 can slide vertically inside the machine body 1 when the threaded rod 10 rotates, thereby changing the length of the sleeve rod 11 extending out of the machine body 1, adjusting the balance of the machine body 1, making the detector in a horizontal state, ensuring the weight accuracy of seafood product detection, and at the same time ensuring uniform heating of the sample, thus improving the accuracy of moisture detection. The heating element 5 is fixed by the mounting shell 4 installed on the inner top of the machine cover 2, and the mounting shell 4 is fixed by a clamping method, which is convenient for disassembling it, thereby realizing the disassembly of the heating element 5, facilitating replacement or cleaning, and prolonging the service life of the device.

[0027] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the clamping assembly includes two mounting blocks 3, which are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the inner top of the machine cover 2. The inside of the mounting block 3 is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod 14, the other end of the telescopic rod 14 is fixedly connected with a moving block 16, a spring 15 is sleeved outside the telescopic rod 14, the adjacent sides of the two moving blocks 16 are fixedly connected with clamping blocks 17, clamping grooves 18 are opened on the left and right sides of the mounting shell 4, one end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected inside the mounting block 3, the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected outside the moving block 16, and the outside of the clamping block 17 is slidably connected with the inside of the adjacent clamping groove 18.

[0028] Specifically, by pushing the moving block 16 on the mounting block 3, the moving block 16 slides along the chute inside the mounting block 3, compresses the spring 15, and at the same time makes the telescopic rod 14 contract, so that the clamping block 17 can be driven by the moving block 16 to disengage from the clamping groove 18. At this time, the mounting shell 4 can be removed, realizing the disassembly of the heating element 5, thus facilitating the disassembly of the heating element 5, and then maintaining or cleaning the heating element 5, reducing the pollution of the heating element 5 by the steam generated during heating, ensuring the stable heating effect, and prolonging the service life of the device. The spring 15 is respectively connected to the outside of the moving block 16 and the inside of the mounting block 3 and is sleeved outside the telescopic rod 14, making the spring 15 expand and contract stably. When the mounting shell 4 is installed, it can push the moving block 16 to move, and then make the clamping block 17 engage with the clamping groove 18, realizing the fixation of the mounting shell 4.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A weighing sensor 19 is installed on the top of the body 1. Above the weighing sensor 19, there is a tray 20. Inside the installation shell 4, a heating element 5 is installed. On the front side of the body 1, a level 21 is provided.

[0030] Specifically, through the weighing sensor 19, the weight measurement of the seafood sample before and after heating can be realized, which is convenient for calculating the moisture content in the seafood product. Through the tray 20, it is convenient to place the sample to be detected. Through the heating element 5, heat energy can be released to heat the sample, so that the moisture in it evaporates, thus realizing the operation of moisture detection. By observing the level 21, it is convenient to adjust the detector to make it in a horizontal state, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection result.

[0031] Working principle: When using this detector, first observe the state of the level 21. By turning the handle 9, the worm 8 can be rotated, and then the worm 8 drives the worm wheel 7 to rotate. The worm wheel 7 drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate. Thus, under the cooperation of the limit groove 6 and the limit block 12, the sleeve rod 11 can move. By adjusting the extension length of the sleeve rod 11, the horizontal state of the detector is adjusted to keep the detector in a horizontal state, avoiding uneven heating of the seafood sample during heating and inaccurate quality detection, which may lead to deviation in the final result. Then open the machine cover 2, place the seafood sample to be detected on the tray 20, start heating by the heating element 5 to evaporate the moisture in the seafood sample, and measure the mass of the sample before and after moisture evaporation through the weighing sensor 19, so as to detect the moisture in the seafood product. If the heating element 5 needs to be removed, the moving blocks 16 on the installation blocks 3 on both sides of the installation shell 4 can be pushed. The spring 15 is compressed by the moving blocks 16, and at the same time, the telescopic rod 14 contracts. Thus, the clamping block 17 can be driven by the moving blocks 16 to disengage from the clamping groove 18. At this time, the installation shell 4 can be removed to realize the disassembly of the heating element 5, which is convenient for replacing or cleaning the heating element 5, thereby ensuring the heating effect and prolonging the service life of the device.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
