[0002] Food safety testing is the process of inspecting food for harmful substances, microorganisms, additives, and nutrients to ensure food safety, quality, and compliance with relevant regulations and standards. Food safety testing is crucial for protecting consumer health, maintaining market order, and promoting food trade.

[0003] Testing solid foods typically requires pulverizing the sample before adding a solvent, which extracts the target analytes from the sample for subsequent analysis. Currently, when preparing samples for solid food testing, the pulverized sample must be removed from the pulverizer and placed in a test tube, to which an appropriate amount of solvent is then added. This separate pulverization and solvent addition process is inefficient and poses a risk of contamination during sample transfer. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that in the existing sample preparation device, pulverization and solvent addition need to be performed separately, which is inefficient and increases the risk of sample contamination.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows: a sample preparation device for food safety testing, comprising a tank body and a crushing assembly movably arranged inside the tank body, a drain pipe is provided at the lower part of the side of the tank body, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe:

[0006] A filter cartridge is installed on the bottom surface of the tank body, a cover plate is movably provided on the top of the filter cartridge, and a horizontal plate for installing a crushing assembly is movably provided on the top of the tank body;

[0007] The crushing assembly includes a motor installed on the top of the horizontal plate, the output shaft of the motor is connected to a transmission column through a coupling, the bottom of the transmission column is movably connected to a central shaft, a crushing knife is installed on the central shaft, and stirring blades are symmetrically installed on both sides of the transmission column.

[0008] Furthermore, flanges are fixedly connected to both ends of the filter cartridge, and one flange is mounted on the bottom surface of the tank body by screws.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover plate is provided with a plurality of through holes, and a plurality of limiting columns are fixedly connected to the bottom edge thereof, and the limiting columns are inserted into the through holes on the flange.

[0010] Furthermore, upper ear plates are fixed at both ends of the horizontal plate, and a threaded rod is fixed at the bottom of the upper ear plate. Lower ear plates are symmetrically fixed to the upper side of the tank body. A mounting hole is opened in the middle of the lower ear plate, and a nut is installed after one end of the threaded rod passes through the mounting hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a controller is installed on the top of the horizontal plate on one side of the motor.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting column is fixedly connected to the top of the central axis, and the connecting column is a hexagonal column.

[0013] Furthermore, the transmission column is penetrated and rotatably mounted on the cover plate. The transmission column is composed of two cylinders, one smaller on the upper right and one larger on the lower right, and a socket adapted to the connecting column is provided at the bottom of the transmission column.

[0014] Furthermore, a positioning cylinder adapted to the central axis is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the tank body.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model over existing technologies are that the motor drives the central shaft to rotate via the transmission column, which in turn drives the pulverizer to pulverize the sample. Solvent is added to the tank, and the transmission column drives the stirring blades to rotate, stirring the solvent and accelerating the dissolution of the food sample. Sample residue is retained within the filter cartridge by the action of the filter cartridge, and the prepared sample can be discharged for testing through the drain pipe. By completing the entire sample preparation process within the tank, this utility model is convenient and quick, and eliminates the need for sample transfer, reducing the risk of sample contamination and improving the practicality of the device.
