[0002] At present, in the food and pharmaceutical industry, the synthetic biology industry, and the chemical industry, samplers are generally used to complete the extraction of powder samples. In the process where physical and chemical analysis of powder samples is required, special samplers are used for pipelines or equipment. Traditional sampling uses open-cover sampling, but when the pipeline or equipment is opened, external dust or bacteria can easily enter the original closed environment, causing secondary contamination of the powder. At the same time, the mechanical structure of the existing powder sampler itself, and the sealing form or sampling method of the pipeline or equipment are relatively complex, resulting in high costs. Black spots are formed in the gaps at the seal, and the residues formed during sampling affect the representativeness of the sampling or cause product contamination. Utility Model Content

[0027] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the following examples. It should be noted that the examples described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1 A powder online sampler includes a valve housing 1, one end of the valve housing 1 is connected to the cylinder body of the rotary cylinder 4, one end of the rotary valve core 2 is located in the valve housing 1 and is connected to the rotary head of the rotary cylinder 4, the rotary valve core 2 can rotate in the valve housing 1 under the drive of the rotary head of the rotary cylinder 4, the part of the rotary valve core 2 located inside the valve housing 1 is in clearance with the valve housing 1, the other end of the rotary valve core 2 extends out of the other end of the valve housing 1, the rotary valve core 2 has a hollow channel 8, the central axis of the hollow channel 8 is aligned with the rotary valve core 2 The central axis of the hollow channel 8 forms a set angle. As a preferred embodiment, the set angle is 45 degrees. One end of the hollow channel 8 is a material intake port 9, and the other end is a channel discharge port 7. The side wall of the valve housing 1 is provided with a valve housing bottom opening 12. The valve housing bottom opening 12 is opened on the bottom outer wall of the valve housing 1 arranged laterally. When the rotary head of the rotary cylinder 4 drives the rotary valve core 2 to rotate to the set position, the channel discharge port 7 faces downward and is connected to the valve housing bottom opening 12, and the material intake port 9 faces upward and is exposed to the end side wall of the valve housing 1. By driving the rotary valve core 2 to rotate in the valve housing 1 to a position deviated from the set position by the rotary head of the rotary cylinder 4, the channel discharge port 7 can be disconnected from the valve housing bottom opening 12.

[0030] In this embodiment, the valve housing 1 is horizontally installed on the longitudinal pipe 10, one end of the valve housing 1 is connected to the cylinder body of the rotary cylinder 4, and the end face of the other end is adapted to the shape of the pipe side of the pipe 10 and is sealed. One end of the rotary valve core 2 is connected to the rotating head of the rotary cylinder 4, and the other end extends into the pipe 10. The material intake port 9 on the rotary valve core 2 is located inside the pipe 10, and the bottom opening 12 of the valve housing is located outside the pipe 10.

[0031] The valve housing 1 is provided with a compressed air interface 6, so that a pneumatic seal is adopted between the valve housing 1 and the rotary valve core 2, thereby avoiding the formation of black spots by sample residue in the gap of the seal, reducing pollution and improving hygiene and safety;

[0032] In some embodiments, there are multiple compressed air interfaces 6 , which are evenly distributed around the valve housing 1 .

[0033] In some embodiments, a sample outlet tube 3 is provided at the bottom opening 12 of the valve housing. When the hollow channel 8 on the rotary valve core 2 is rotated to a certain angle, the central axis of the hollow channel 8 coincides with the central axis of the sample outlet tube 3, so that the powder can enter the sample outlet tube 3 to the greatest extent after falling out of the channel outlet 7.

[0034] An extension pipe is provided on the outside of the valve housing 1, and the sample outlet pipe 3 is fixed to the extension pipe by a clamp; the valve housing 1 and the cylinder body of the rotary cylinder 4 are fixed by a clamp. The clamp method is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0035] In some embodiments, a protective cover 5 is provided on the outside of the rotating cylinder 4 to prevent the rotating cylinder 4 from being damaged by the outside.

[0036] The material of the rotary valve core 2 is Teflon, preferably food-grade Teflon, which is safe and hygienic and avoids contamination of the powder.

[0037] The valve housing 1 is made of stainless steel, preferably food-grade stainless steel or corrosion-resistant stainless steel, which can increase the service life of the utility model.

[0038] In some embodiments, a valve is provided on the sample outlet pipe 3. When sampling is not required, the valve is closed to isolate the pipe 10 from the outside world to avoid secondary contamination of the powder.

[0039] like Figure 2 The arrow in the figure indicates the powder flow direction. First, supply compressed air to compressed air port 6, then open the valve on sample outlet tube 3. Then, activate rotary cylinder 4, which in turn rotates valve core 2. Sampling is optimal when feed port 9 is oriented directly in the direction of the powder flow. After entering feed port 9, the powder falls by its own weight into the container below sample outlet tube 3, completing sampling.

[0040] like Figure 3 After the sampling is completed, continue to rotate the rotary valve core 2, and the relative area between the feeding port 9 and the powder flow direction is reduced. When the feeding port 9 is turned away from the powder flow direction, the powder cannot enter the feeding port 9, completing the automatic closure of the utility model, and then stop supplying air to the compressed air interface 6, and then close the valve on the sample outlet tube 3.

[0041] In some embodiments, the rotary cylinder 4 is replaced by a motor.

[0042] Example 2:

[0043] like Figures 3-4 In this embodiment, the valve housing 1 is horizontally mounted on the inclined surface of the tank body 11. One end of the valve housing 1 is connected to the cylinder body of the rotary cylinder 4, and the end surface of the other end is adapted to the inclined surface shape of the tank body 11 and is sealed. One end of the rotary valve core 2 is connected to the rotary head of the rotary cylinder 4, and the top of the other end is located inside the tank body 11. When the rotary head of the rotary cylinder 4 drives the rotary valve core 2 to rotate to a set position, the channel discharge port 7 faces downward and is connected to the bottom opening 12 of the valve housing. The bottom opening 12 of the valve housing is located outside the tank body 11, and the material extraction port 9 faces upward and is exposed to the end side wall of the valve housing 1 and is located inside the tank body 11. By driving the rotary valve core 2 to rotate in the valve housing 1 to a position deviated from the set position by the rotary head of the rotary cylinder 4, the channel discharge port 7 can be disconnected from the bottom opening 12 of the valve housing.

[0044] Other details are the same as those in Example 1.

[0045] The specific implementation examples described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitute similar methods to the specific implementation examples described herein without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
