Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gluten meters and relates to a gluten meter. Background Art
[0002] In the process of making noodle products, the wheat flour used in different noodle products varies. When purchasing, the main criteria are gluten content. Bread requires high-gluten flour; steamed buns, flower rolls, and dumplings require medium-gluten flour; and cakes and biscuits require low-gluten flour. Gluten content has a significant impact on the noodle products, and flour gluten content is usually tested using a gluten analyzer.
[0003] Existing gluten meters, for example, Chinese patent literature discloses a gluten quantity and quality measuring instrument [Patent No.: 201320625695.3; Application Publication No.: CN203590911U], which includes a gluten washing system, a gluten centrifugal system and an operation display panel. The gluten washing system includes a driving motor, a synchronous belt transmission mechanism connected to the driving motor and the washing head rotating shaft, two water inlet pipes, two electromagnets, two electronic metering pumps and two washing heads; the washing head includes a rotatable rotating shaft and a washing cup core tightly fitted on the rotating shaft, a washing hook threadedly mounted on the rotating shaft, a washing cup, a bracket connected to the electromagnet and a waste liquid cup; the gluten centrifugal system includes a centrifugal motor, an optical coupler sensor device, a centrifugal disk and a gluten indexer mounted on the centrifugal disk; the operation display panel includes a display part and an operation part: the display part includes a working indicator light and a time display; the operation part includes a time setting button, a dough kneading button, a washing button, a centrifugal button and a pause button.
[0004] This type of gluten analyzer uses a water inlet pipe to deliver water to the washing cup via a corresponding electronic metering pump, ensuring a constant water volume. However, this type of gluten analyzer only maintains a constant water volume. The temperature of the incoming water is affected by environmental factors, leading to variations in temperature, which reduces detection accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems existing in the prior art and to propose a gluten meter, which solves the technical problem of how to improve the detection accuracy of the gluten meter.
[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A gluten meter, comprising a chassis, a driver arranged in the chassis and a detachable washing cup arranged outside the chassis, a washing hook being provided in the washing cup, characterized in that the gluten meter also includes a washing block fixedly connected to the outside of the chassis and a thermostatic controller, a water bucket and a washing pump arranged in the chassis, the washing block is embedded in the washing cup, a rotating shaft is rotatably passed through the washing block, the bottom end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the washing hook, the driver can drive the washing hook to rotate through the rotating shaft, the washing block has a water hole passing through it, and the water bucket is connected to the water hole through the washing pump and a pipe.
[0007] During operation, a thermostat heats the liquid in the bucket, maintaining its temperature at approximately 25°C. A wash pump draws liquid from the bucket through a water hole into the wash cup, and a driver rotates the wash hook, kneading the flour into gluten and washing the gluten. This gluten analyzer controls the liquid flow rate via the wash pump and the temperature via the thermostat. Both automated operations prevent the gluten from being affected by temperature fluctuations and manual operation, improving the analyzer's accuracy. The thermostat is currently available, and its specific structure is not described here.
[0008] In the aforementioned gluten making machine, the housing has a recessed positioning groove, the bottom of the water bucket is embedded in the positioning groove, and the thermostat is located directly below the positioning groove. This structure prevents the water bucket from tipping over when placed in the housing, makes it easy to remove and place the water bucket, and enables the thermostat to better control the temperature of the liquid in the water bucket.
[0009] In the aforementioned gluten analyzer, the housing has a recessed space, the top of the water bucket is located in the recessed space, and the top surface of the water bucket is flush with the top surface of the housing. This structure makes rational use of space, allowing the water bucket to better integrate with the housing, and enhancing the integrity of the gluten analyzer.
[0010] In the above-mentioned gluten analyzer, the water bucket is cylindrical and has a cover on the top of the water bucket. The cover is located on the top, making it convenient to add liquid into the water bucket.
[0011] In the aforementioned gluten analyzer, the washing block includes a cylindrical sealing portion at the top, the outer circumference of which is loosely fitted with the inner circumference of the washing cup. This structure prevents foreign matter from entering the washing cup, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the gluten analyzer.
[0012] In the aforementioned gluten making machine, the washing block further includes a kneading portion at the bottom. The kneading portion and the sealing portion are integrally formed, the kneading portion being recessed relative to the sealing portion and having a kneading notch. The bottom wall of the kneading notch is arc-shaped. This structure allows the washing hook to better knead the flour into gluten when rotating, and the gluten is better washed.
[0013] In the aforementioned gluten analyzer, the housing includes a protruding mounting plate, the washing block is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, and the washing block is located directly below the mounting plate with a certain distance between the washing block and the mounting plate. The mounting plate serves as a mounting carrier, allowing the washing block to be mounted outside the housing.
[0014] In the above-mentioned gluten meter, the inner end of the mounting plate extends into the interior of the chassis, and the driver is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner end of the mounting plate. The mounting plate serves as a mounting carrier, allowing the driver to be installed in the chassis, and the driver is a motor.
[0015] In the aforementioned gluten analyzer, there are two washing cups, two washing blocks, and two rotating shafts. The tops of the two rotating shafts pass through the mounting plate. A first synchronous gear is fixedly connected to the tops of the two rotating shafts. A second synchronous gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driver. The two first synchronous gears and the second synchronous gears are arranged in an isosceles triangle and connected by a timing belt. This structure allows two gluten sheets to be washed at once, improving detection efficiency.
[0016] In the aforementioned gluten meter, the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a mounting frame, the top of the mounting frame having a placement surface, and the chassis has an inclined display screen, which is located diagonally above the mounting frame. An operator can place a stylus pen or the like on the placement surface to improve operational convenience.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the gluten analyzer provided by the present invention has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. This gluten analyzer controls the flow of liquid through a washing pump and the temperature of the liquid through a thermostatic controller. Both operations are automated to avoid the effects of liquid temperature changes and manual operation on gluten, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the gluten analyzer.
[0019] 2. The washing block of this gluten meter can prevent external impurities from entering the washing cup, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the gluten meter. At the same time, when the washing hook rotates, it can better knead the flour into gluten and make the gluten be better washed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
