The technical solution of this utility model is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] In the process of sea cucumber processing and production, especially on the classification of sea cucumber raw material, the inventor finds that existing process is normally sampled and tested to sea cucumber, it is necessary to carry out accurate texture detection by texture analyzer in the laboratory, after sampling is qualified, the sea cucumber of this batch could be sorted, and now may further be judged by artificial experience, reject the defective product that quality is obviously bad.Therefore, each sea cucumber raw material can not actually guarantee hardness and quality, just by artificial judgment and without unified standard, it is unavoidable to produce mistakes, and accurate detection needs complicated texture detection process, is not suitable for production and processing flow, greatly affects production efficiency.And the inventor notes that sea cucumber raw material is elongated, as long as by being pressed to bending 90 ° even angle is smaller, its institute's stress is larger, proves that sea cucumber is harder, quality is better, this is that can reach detection purpose quickly by device, also can have unified dynamics standard to judge, can be applicable to sorting worker's on-site use.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2The invention discloses a device for quickly detecting the hardness of a sea cucumber, comprising a fixed groove 1, a detection groove 2 being rotatably connected to one end of the fixed groove 1, a movable groove 3 being rotatably connected to the other end of the detection groove 2 away from the fixed groove 1, the fixed groove 1, the detection groove 2 and the movable groove 3 being matched and adapted to the sea cucumber to be detected, a pressure sensor 4 being provided at the bottom of the detection groove 2, a detection plate 5 being provided on the pressure sensor 4, a display screen 6 being provided at the bottom surface of the movable groove 3 away from the detection groove 2, the display screen 6 being connected to the pressure sensor 4 via a wire. The invention has a compact structure and convenient detection, and can be directly applied in the production process. First, a sea cucumber is placed between the fixed groove 1, the detection groove 2 and the movable groove 3, with the folded part of the sea cucumber being positioned in the detection groove 2 as far as possible. Then, by rotating the movable groove 3 and the detection groove 2, the sea cucumber is folded and bent, so that the middle part of the sea cucumber is pushed outward, thereby triggering the pressure sensor 4 through the detection plate 5, and the display screen 6 on the surface of the bent movable groove 3 can be seen. Therefore, the hardness of the sea cucumber can be roughly obtained by measuring the pressure of the sea cucumber material pushed outward. By fixing the angle of the movable groove 3 relative to the fixed groove 1 and comparing multiple measurements, the quality of the sea cucumber material to be tested can be quickly judged. Generally speaking, the harder the sea cucumber, the better the quality.
[0021] Specifically, a long guide hole 7 is provided on the side of the fixed groove 1 and the movable groove 3, and a baffle 8 is provided in the fixed groove 1 and the movable groove 3 respectively. The two sides of the baffle 8 extend outward through the guide hole 7 to form a guide portion. The guide portion can reciprocate linearly along the guide hole 7, so that the baffle 8 can slide in the corresponding fixed groove 1 or movable groove 3 respectively. The baffle 8 can be adjusted in position by sliding along the guide hole 7, so that the two baffles 8 can be moved in the fixed groove 1 and the movable groove 3 respectively. Fixed clamps can be added to clamp the sea cucumber so that its middle part is as close to the detection groove 2 as possible for easy measurement. Furthermore, an elastic member 9 is connected to the guide portion, and the elastic member 9 is used to make the two baffles 8 approach the detection groove 2 respectively. The elastic member 9 can be a spring, with one end of the spring being sleeved on the guide portion of the baffle 8, and the other end being fixed to the ends of the fixed slot 1 and the movable slot 3 close to the detection slot 2, so that the baffle 8 has elastic potential energy toward the end of the detection slot 2. In this way, when the sea cucumber is placed, the baffles 8 at both ends have the same elastic force to clamp the sea cucumber, and at the same time make its middle portion correspond to the detection slot 2 in the middle.
[0022] Furthermore, the fixed slot 1 is hinged to the detection slot 2, and the detection slot 2 is hinged to the movable slot 3, and both hinges are provided with a latch, which makes the angle α between the movable slot 3 and the fixed slot 1 90°, 60° or 45°. The two hinges between the fixed slot 1 and the detection slot 2 and the detection slot 2 and the movable slot 3 can adopt an existing hinge device with a latch, and lock their relative angles by latching, so that when the sea cucumber is folded through the movable slot 3, the movable slot 3 can be folded into one of 90°, 60° or 45° relative to the fixed slot 1, so as to facilitate the detection of the hardness of the sea cucumber. Moreover, when the two hinges are locked into the latch, the angle between the movable slot 3 and the detection slot 2 and the angle between the detection slot 2 and the fixed slot 1 are consistent, which can ensure that the sea cucumber is evenly stressed in the movable slot 3 and the fixed slot 1, and the squeezed force is concentrated on the thicker part in the middle of the sea cucumber, and squeezes the detection plate 5 in the detection slot 2 to obtain the pressure value.
[0023] In addition, the length of the movable slot 3 is the same as that of the fixed slot 1, and the length of the detection slot 2 is half of the length of the fixed slot 1. The detection slot 2 needs to have a certain length so that the sea cucumber can be squeezed into the detection plate 5 of the same length, and the same length of the movable slot 3 and the fixed slot 1 can ensure that while the sea cucumber is accommodated, the two ends of the sea cucumber are subjected to the same pressure from the corresponding baffles 8. Furthermore, the two hinges are both located on the top side of the detection slot 2, and the two ends of the bottom side of the detection slot 2 are respectively connected to the fixed slot 1 and the movable slot 3 through multiple layers of foldable soft connectors 10. The two side splints of the fixed slot 1, the detection slot 2 and the movable slot 3 all have a certain height to adapt to the sea cucumber, and when rotating, the hinge position is at the top side of the splint so that the movement of the detection slot 2 and the movable slot 3 is not easily obstructed. At the same time, multiple layers of foldable soft connectors 10 can be used to connect at other connections to shield the connection parts.
[0024] In addition, the outer side of the bottom of the fixed groove 1 can be detachably connected to a clamping portion 11. A mounting hole can be set on the outer side of the fixed groove 1, and the clamping portion 11 can be connected to the mounting hole by screws, etc., so that the fixed groove 1 can be fixed to a position such as the edge of a workbench by using the clamping portion 11, so that the sea cucumber can be easily placed and bent through the movable groove 3 for quick pressure testing.
[0025] Sea cucumbers of different qualities were selected for testing. When the device was used to fold the sea cucumbers to 45°, the following pressure data were obtained, respectively: 5.0N, 15.0N, 13.5N, 16.5N, 2.0N, and 10.0N. When adjusted to other larger angles, the corresponding data decreased accordingly. The laboratory conducted precise texture testing on the same batch of sea cucumbers and obtained the average hardness values of 4.9212N, 17.0029N, 13.7166N, 16.7645N, 4.0828N, and 10.3227N. It can be seen that although the pressure values measured by this device are relatively lower than the actual hardness values, it can still roughly distinguish the different hardness of sea cucumbers of different qualities. Therefore, this device can quickly achieve the detection purpose and improve production efficiency.
