Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Mold is a type of fungus characterized by well-developed mycelium and the absence of large fruiting bodies. Like other fungi, it also has cell walls and survives in a parasitic or saprophytic manner. Some molds can transform food into toxic substances, while others may produce toxins in food, namely mycotoxins. During the food production process, it is necessary to detect mold in food using a food mold detection device.

[0003] During the food testing process, a probe is used to sample and test the contents of the test tube. In order to improve the detection accuracy, the probe usually needs to be cleaned and disinfected after one use. In the current existing technology, the probe is installed with bolts, and the bolts need to be removed each time for disinfection, resulting in cumbersome assembly and unloading and low testing efficiency.

[0010] Specifically, to ensure uninterrupted testing, at least two slideways are spaced parallel to the sliding plates, each driven by two linear actuators. In this embodiment, two slideways are provided, allowing one sliding plate to move the probe beneath it into the cleaning chamber for cleaning and disinfection while the other slideway continues testing in the testing chamber, ensuring uninterrupted testing and improving testing efficiency.

[0011] In order to enable the probe to move to one side into the cleaning chamber after being moved to the top by the telescopic cylinder, the height of the top surface of the partition is lower than the bottom surface position of the probe when it is moved to the top by the telescopic cylinder.

[0012] According to a specific embodiment, the cleaning liquid storage tank is fixedly connected to the top of the box body and is located above the cleaning chamber.

[0013] In order to improve the cleaning effect, a nozzle is provided on the inner side wall of the cleaning chamber, the inlet of the nozzle is connected to the cleaning liquid storage tank through a channel provided on the side wall of the box body, and the outlet is provided downwardly inclined.

[0022] A food mold detector comprises a detector housing 1. A partition 11 is provided in the housing 1 to divide the interior space of the housing 1 into a cleaning chamber 13 and a detection chamber 12 which are arranged side by side on the left and right.

[0023] A telescopic cylinder 2 is provided on the top of the detection chamber 12. The free end of the telescopic cylinder 2 extends vertically downward into the detection chamber 12, and the bottom is connected to a guide plate 3. The left and right ends of the guide plate 3 slide with the inside of the box 1. Two horizontal and parallel chutes are provided at the bottom. The sliding plates 5 are slidably connected in the chutes. The sliding plates 5 are driven by a linear drive member 4 connected to one side thereof to move along the chutes between the detection chamber 12 and the cleaning chamber 13. The bottom of the sliding plate 5 is connected to a fixed plate 6, and the bottom of the fixed plate 6 is connected to a plurality of probes 7. In this embodiment, the linear drive member 4 adopts an electric push rod, which is controlled by a control module. And the sliding plates 5 that cooperate with the two chutes on the guide plate 3 are respectively controlled by different linear drive members 4, so that the two sliding plates 5 can be moved to different positions. And in the initial position, the two sliding plates 5 are both in the middle position. In this embodiment, see Figure 1 As shown, the middle of the chute extends to the left end in contact with the side wall of the box body 1. The sliding plate 5 can move from the middle position to the left into the cleaning chamber 13, and can move to the right to the initial position after cleaning and disinfection.

[0024] The cleaning chamber 13 is connected to the cleaning liquid storage tank 8 through a pipeline and a valve.

[0025] During use, the probe 7 at the initial position performs a mold test on the material to be tested. After the test is completed, the telescopic cylinder 2 moves upward to the top limit position, and then the linear drive 4 is activated to drive the sliding plate 5 to move left into the cleaning chamber 13. It then descends to the appropriate position. The valve in the cleaning chamber 13 opens to inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning chamber 13 to clean the probe 7. At the same time, the probe 7 under the other sliding plate 5 remains in the detection chamber 12 to continue testing. After the probe 7 in the cleaning chamber 13 is cleaned, the telescopic cylinder 2 moves upward, driving the guide plate 3 upward, so that the probe 7 moves upward to the limit position. The linear drive 4 then activates to drive the sliding plate 5 to move right back to the initial position for the next test. At the same time, the other sliding plate 5 moves left into the cleaning chamber 13 for cleaning and disinfection.

[0026] According to a specific embodiment, the chute is a T-shaped slot with its opening facing downward, and its extending direction is horizontal and perpendicular to the free end of the telescopic cylinder 2. The sliding plate 5 is a T-shaped block, and the upper size matches the chute.

[0027] Specifically, to ensure uninterrupted testing, at least two slideways are provided parallel to the sliding plates 5, each driven by two linear drive members 4. In this embodiment, two slideways are provided, and while one sliding plate 5 drives the probe 7 thereunder into the cleaning chamber 13 for cleaning and disinfection, the other sliding plate 5 can continue testing in the testing chamber 12, ensuring uninterrupted testing and thereby improving testing efficiency.

[0028] In order to enable the probe 7 to move to one side into the cleaning chamber 13 after moving to the top under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 2, the height of the top surface of the partition 11 is lower than the bottom surface position of the probe 7 when it moves to the top under the drive of the telescopic cylinder 2.

[0029] According to a specific embodiment, the cleaning liquid storage tank 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1 and is located above the cleaning chamber 13 .

[0030] To improve the cleaning effect, a nozzle 9 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 13. The inlet of the nozzle 9 is connected to the cleaning liquid storage tank 8 through a channel provided on the side wall of the housing 1, and the outlet is arranged at a downward angle. Specifically, the nozzle 9 uses a high-pressure spray. To control the opening and closing state of the nozzle 9, an electromagnetic valve is installed on the pipe section connecting the nozzle 9 to the side wall of the housing 1.

[0031] The bottom of the cleaning chamber 13 is provided with an openable drain port. The purpose is to facilitate the timely removal of waste liquid after the probe 7 is cleaned. A fan is also provided on the side wall of the cleaning chamber 13 to dry the probe 7 after cleaning.
