Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of permeability detection, and in particular relates to a device for detecting the permeability of chocolate melt. Background Art

[0002] Chocolate sauce is a delicious dessert. Its main ingredients are cocoa powder and milk. It can be eaten as a dessert or used as a seasoning sauce for bread.

[0003] According to Chinese patent CN219737213U, a chocolate melt permeability detection device is disclosed, which includes a base plate, a drive box and a weighing device. The drive box is installed on one side of the upper end of the base plate, and the weighing device is installed on the other side of the upper end of the base plate. The upper end of the drive box is provided with a centrifugal detection structure; the centrifugal detection structure includes: a centrifugal box, a drive motor, a mounting frame, a chute, a rotating drum, a separation and separation component and a closing component. The utility model relates to the field of permeability detection technology. The centrifugal detection structure adopted in this case drives the rotating drum to rotate at high speed by the provided drive motor, thereby centrifugally removing excess chocolate remaining on the surface of dried fruits and vegetables, while retaining the chocolate impregnated in freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. Subsequently, the provided weighing device is used to detect the weight of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables after centrifugation. If the weight of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables is lower than the specified value range, it means that the permeability effect is poor, thereby detecting the overall chocolate permeability effect of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables.

[0004] In the above patent, a rotating drum is used to rotate at high speed to centrifugally remove excess chocolate remaining on the surface of dried fruits and vegetables. However, this high-speed rotation method can easily cause the dried fruits and vegetables to break and shatter, and the chocolate that has seeped into the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables can also cause detachment, which is not conducive to the true data after detection and may result in certain errors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a chocolate melting permeability detection device to solve the problem of damage and breakage of dried fruits and vegetables in the prior art.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A chocolate melt permeability testing device includes a test barrel comprising a lower barrel, a middle barrel, and an upper barrel; a handle, wherein the lower barrel, the middle barrel, and the upper barrel are fixed by the handle, wherein gaps are formed between the lower barrel, the middle barrel, and the upper barrel; and a notch is formed on one side of the test barrel.

[0008] A chassis is placed under the lower barrel, a support rod is fixed to one side of the chassis, a sleeve is provided on the support rod, and a loading tray is provided on one side of the sleeve; the support rod is provided with an opening, a screw is rotatably installed inside the support rod, a support assembly is fitted on the screw inside the support rod, and the sleeve is placed on the surface of the support assembly; a pushing assembly is provided on the outside of the test barrel, and the pushing assembly is used to push the loading tray.

[0009] Furthermore, the chassis surface is provided with a stepped platform, within which are placed stepped blocks with raised structures on their surfaces. The stepped platform's diameter matches the inner diameter of the lower barrel, and serves to stabilize the lower barrel and prevent the test barrel from shaking. The raised structures on the stepped blocks act as a distraction when freeze-dried fruits and vegetables fall, enhancing the impact of the fall and allowing staff to intuitively judge the appearance of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. The stepped blocks can be easily removed and replaced, allowing for replacement with different raised structures.

[0010] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support slide, a central axis is fixed in the middle of one side of the support slide, a thin block is provided on one side of the central axis, wherein the thin block is stuck in the opening, and a threaded sleeve is provided at one end of the thin block, wherein the threaded sleeve is threadedly engaged with the screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the supporting slide plate is in an arc structure, and blocking posts are fixed at both ends of the arc. When the sleeve plate rotates, it touches the blocking posts, which is the maximum rotation displacement distance of the sleeve plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve is provided on the outer periphery of the blocking column, which can offset the impact effect when the sleeve plate rotates, thereby improving the stability of the entire device.

[0013] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a side arm, which is fixed to the outside of the test barrel. A pull rod is slidably installed on the side arm, a support ring is provided on one side of the pull rod, and a spring is provided on the pull rod on one side of the support ring, wherein the pull rod corresponds to the gap formed between the lower barrel, the middle barrel and the upper barrel.

[0014] Furthermore, the test buckets can be stacked with multiple structures similar to the lower bucket, middle bucket, and upper bucket to increase test variables.

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Place the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables on the surface of the loading tray. Move the cover plate to quickly separate the loading tray from the test barrel. The freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are blocked by the test barrel and fall onto the bottom surface. Observe whether there is any chocolate sauce detached or broken on the surface of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. This test method is less likely to cause the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables to break.

[0017] 2. Rotating the screw can make the threaded sleeve rise or fall horizontally, that is, adjust the horizontal height of the support slide. After the height difference of the support slide is adjusted, the sleeve plate will be driven to rise, and the loading plate will be moved to gaps at different heights, so that the test height variable can be easily adjusted.

[0018] 3. When rotating the loading plate, you can directly pull the lever. Under the automatic reset of the spring, the lever quickly hits the loading plate, allowing the loading plate to quickly leave the test barrel. There is no need to manually move the sleeve, thus improving the convenience of operation. This device does not require other electric drive devices, greatly reducing the production cost of this product. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] refer to Figure 1 A chocolate melt permeability testing device includes a test barrel 10 divided into a lower barrel 101, a middle barrel 102, and an upper barrel 103; a handle 11, and the lower barrel 101, the middle barrel 102, and the upper barrel 103 are fixed by the handle 11;

[0029] In the above solution, the handle 11 is used to securely combine the lower barrel 101, the middle barrel 102, and the upper barrel 103 to form an integral structure, thereby enhancing the overall stability and strength of the test barrel 10. Furthermore, when taking the test barrel 10, the handle 11 can be used to facilitate picking up the test barrel 10.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 There is a gap between the lower barrel 101, the middle barrel 102 and the upper barrel 103. A cutout 12 is opened on one side of the test barrel 10. A chassis 13 is placed under the lower barrel 101. A support rod 15 is fixed to one side of the chassis 13. A sleeve 18 is provided on the support rod 15. A loading tray 181 is provided on one side of the sleeve 18.

[0031] In the above scheme, the gaps between lower barrel 101, middle barrel 102, and upper barrel 103 precisely match the thickness of loading tray 181. Since sleeve 18 is mounted on support rod 15, it can rotate freely on support rod 15. By moving sleeve 18, loading tray 181 can pass through the gaps between lower barrel 101, middle barrel 102, and upper barrel 103. After chocolate sauce is infiltrated into freeze-dried fruits and vegetables using negative pressure, the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are placed on the surface of loading tray 181. Moving sleeve 18 causes loading tray 181 to quickly escape from the interior of test barrel 10, thereby blocking the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and causing them to fall onto the surface of bottom tray 13. The freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are observed for any detachment or breakage of chocolate sauce from their surfaces, i.e., changes in their physical properties, such as hardness and brittleness. After the drop and impact test, the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are weighed and the percentage of mass increase is calculated to further determine whether the penetration effect is satisfactory. The fallen freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are still inside the test barrel 10 to facilitate subsequent sorting and collection. This testing method is not likely to cause the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables to break.

[0032] It's worth noting that due to the two gaps between the lower barrel 101, the middle barrel 102, and the upper barrel 103, the loading tray 181 can be moved to different heights in the gaps according to testing needs, thereby increasing or decreasing the drop distance of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. The loading tray 181 can be moved to different heights depending on the type of freeze-dried fruit and vegetable. The test barrel 10 can be stacked with multiple barrels identical to the lower barrel 101, middle barrel 102, and upper barrel 103 to increase testing variables.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall of the support rod 15 is smooth. The smooth outer wall can facilitate the movement of the sleeve plate 18 to allow it to rotate rapidly.

[0034] Further references Figure 3 The chassis 13 is provided with a stepped platform 14, within which are placed stepped blocks 141, each with a raised structure. The diameter of the stepped platform 14 matches the inner diameter of the lower barrel 101. The stepped platform 14 is used to stabilize the lower barrel 101 and prevent the test barrel 10 from shaking. The raised structures on the stepped blocks 141 can interfere with the fall of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, enhancing the impact of the fall and allowing staff to intuitively judge the appearance of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables. The stepped blocks 141 can be easily removed and replaced to replace stepped blocks 141 with different raised structures.

[0035] refer to Figure 3-Figure 5 The support rod 15 has an opening 151, and a screw 161 is rotatably mounted inside the support rod 15. A support assembly is mounted on the screw 161. The support assembly is mounted inside the support rod 15, and the sleeve 18 is placed on the surface of the support assembly. The support assembly includes a support slide 17. A central axis 172 is fixed to the middle of one side of the support slide 17. A small block 173 is provided on one side of the central axis 172. The small block 173 is fixed in the opening 151. A threaded sleeve 174 is provided on one end of the small block 173, and the threaded sleeve 174 is threadedly engaged with the screw 161.

[0036] In the above scheme, the small block 173 is fixed in the opening 151. By rotating the screw 161, the threaded sleeve 174 can be raised or lowered horizontally, that is, the horizontal height of the support slide 17 is adjusted. After the height difference of the support slide 17 is adjusted, the sleeve 18 is raised, which can be used to conveniently adjust the height of the carrier plate 181. At the same time, the support slide 17 serves as a rotation support surface for the sleeve 18, assisting the sleeve 18 in smooth rotation. It is worth noting that when the height of the carrier plate 181 needs to be adjusted, the carrier plate 181 needs to be rotated into the test barrel 10 to keep it concentric, and then the screw 161 can be rotated to adjust the height difference of the carrier plate 181; or the carrier plate 181 can be removed from the test barrel 10 and the screw 161 can be rotated to adjust the height difference of the carrier plate 181. A rotating cap 16 is fixed to the top of the screw 161 to facilitate the rotation of the screw 161 under force.

[0037] Further references Figure 4 The support slide 17 is an arc-shaped structure, with blocking posts 171 fixed at each end. When the sleeve 18 rotates, it contacts the blocking posts 171, representing the maximum rotational displacement of the sleeve 18. The blocking posts 171 are covered with rubber sleeves; these rubber sleeves offset the impact of the sleeve 18 during rotation, improving the overall stability of the device.

[0038] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0039] Place the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables on the surface of the loading tray 181, and move the sleeve 18 to quickly separate the loading tray 181 from the inside of the test barrel 10. The freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are blocked by the test barrel 10 and fall onto the surface of the bottom plate 13. Observe whether there is any chocolate sauce detached or broken on the surface of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables.

[0040] When the height of the loading tray 181 needs to be adjusted, the loading tray 181 needs to be rotated to the inside of the test barrel 10 to keep it concentric, and then the screw 161 can be rotated to adjust the height difference of the loading tray 181; according to the test needs, the loading tray 181 is moved to gaps of different heights to increase or decrease the falling distance of the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] refer to Figure 2 A pushing assembly is provided on the outside of the test barrel 10, which is used to push the loading tray 181. The pushing assembly includes a side arm 19, which is fixed to the outside of the test barrel 10. A pull rod 20 is slidably mounted on the side arm 19. A support ring 22 is provided on one side of the pull rod 20, and a spring 21 is sleeved on the pull rod 20 on one side of the support ring 22. The pull rod 20 corresponds to the gap formed between the lower barrel 101, the middle barrel 102, and the upper barrel 103.

[0043] In the above scheme, when it is necessary to rotate the loading plate 181, the pull rod 20 can be directly pulled. Under the automatic reset of the spring 21, the pull rod 20 quickly hits the loading plate 181, so that the loading plate 181 is quickly separated from the inside of the test barrel 10. There is no need to manually move the sleeve 18, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0044] In combination with the first and second embodiments, the device does not require other electric drive devices, which greatly reduces the production cost of the product.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the claims. Various modifications or equivalent substitutions may be made to the present invention within the spirit and scope of protection of the present invention.
