Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a sampler for the production of powdered food. Background Art

[0002] In the production of powdered foods, it is necessary to sample and test powdered raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products. For powdered raw materials, the standard requirements for testing indicators are specified; for intermediate products, their sensory properties and mixing uniformity are tested; and for finished products, the required indicators for finished products are tested. Powdered food samplers are very important tools.

[0003] Currently, samplers on the market are divided into two types: 1. Multi-layer samplers; 2. Single-point samplers. However, some powdered products have poor flowability. When either of these samplers is inserted into the powder, the powder will not flow well into the sampling chamber, resulting in uneven or insufficient sampling. Furthermore, multi-layer samplers are difficult to clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a sampler for powdered food production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a sampler for powdered food production, comprising a piston shaft, a piston cylinder, a piston, a semi-circular sampling head, a sleeve, a connecting rod, and a nozzle. The piston cylinder has a sampling chamber at its front end, the piston shaft passes through the piston cylinder, and the piston shaft has a nozzle at its front end. The nozzle passes through the sampling chamber and is positioned outside the sampling chamber, with its end abutting against the opening of the sampling chamber. The piston shaft is located outside the piston cylinder, and a piston is mounted on the piston shaft inside the sampling chamber. The piston moves between the front end of the piston cylinder and the opening of the sampling chamber. A sleeve is also mounted on the piston shaft at its front end. The sleeve is fixed to the piston shaft and is axially connected to one end of several connecting rods. Two semi-circular sampling heads that can be closed to form cavities are hinged to the outer side of the lower end of the piston. The inner side of the semi-circular sampling heads is axially connected to the other end of the connecting rod on the corresponding side.

[0006] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the outer rear end of the piston cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, a pull-out handle is provided at the end of the piston shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the pull-out wristband has a one-finger-wide two-hand pull ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the spearhead is a conical shape.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting recess is provided on the end face of the piston shaft, and a threaded connection part is provided in the recess.

[0011] Furthermore, the larger end of the conical nozzle mates with the opening of the sampling chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, the piston is a frustum-shaped cylinder, smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. The upper end of the piston mates with the front end of the piston cylinder, and the lower end of the upper end of the piston mates with the opening of the sampling chamber.

[0013] The advantages of this invention are: simple structure, easy cleaning, convenient removal of deep powder samples, and simple and quick operation. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The following is a combination of the appended examples of the present invention Figure 1-4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example 1 (refer to) Figure 1-4 A sampler for producing powdered food includes a piston shaft 1, a piston cylinder 2, a piston 3, a semi-circular sampling head 4, a sleeve 5, a connecting rod 6, and a nozzle 7. The piston cylinder has a sampling chamber 8 at its front end. The piston shaft passes through the piston cylinder and has a nozzle at its front end. The nozzle passes through the sampling chamber and is located outside the sampling chamber. The nozzle's end rests against the opening 9 of the sampling chamber. The piston shaft's end is located outside the piston cylinder. A piston is mounted on the piston shaft inside the sampling chamber. The piston moves between the front end of the piston cylinder and the opening of the sampling chamber. A sleeve is also mounted on the piston shaft's front end. The sleeve is fixed to the piston shaft and is axially connected to one end of several connecting rods. Two semi-circular sampling heads that can close to form cavities are hinged to the outer side of the lower end of the piston. The inner side of the semi-circular sampling heads is axially connected to the other end of the corresponding connecting rod.

The piston aligns with the opening of the sampling chamber, and the semi-circular sampling head passes through the opening of the sampling chamber. Then, the piston rod continues to move down, causing the sleeve to move down and open the semi-circular sampling head. Then, the piston rod is lifted up, and the semi-circular sampling head retracts and closes back into the sampling chamber. The upper end of the nozzle aligns with the opening of the sampling chamber to complete the sampling.
