Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of compressed candy testing technology, specifically relating to a device for testing the hardness of compressed candy. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed candy is mainly produced by using pressure to shrink granules or fine powder to generate sufficient cohesive force and bind them tightly. After production, compressed candy needs to have a certain degree of hardness to avoid the candy becoming loose and broken due to insufficient internal compaction, which would affect the quality of the compressed candy. Therefore, it is necessary to use a hardness testing device to test the hardness of the compressed candy to ensure that the quality of the compressed candy is up to standard.

[0003] In existing hardness testing devices, the compressed candy is typically placed within a general testing area and then squeezed to test its hardness, thus determining whether the candy's hardness falls within a suitable range. However, when testing the candy in this area, it may not be in an ideal testing position, and uneven pressure may occur due to positional deviations, resulting in inaccurate hardness testing. Therefore, to address these issues, we propose a hardness testing device for compressed candy. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for testing the hardness of compressed candy, which reduces measurement errors caused by positional deviations of the compressed candy during use, and improves the uniformity of pressure and the accuracy of test results.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a compressed candy hardness testing device, comprising a telescopic testing frame and a transparent positioning cover. The telescopic testing frame has a top plate at its top, a testing instrument on the top plate, a testing rod at the bottom of the top plate, and a testing head electrically connected to the testing instrument at the end of the testing rod away from the top plate. The transparent positioning cover is slidably connected to the testing rod, and the testing head is located in the middle of the transparent positioning cover. The lower inner end of the transparent positioning cover has a guide ramp, which slopes downward from the center of the transparent positioning cover towards the bottom edge. When the transparent positioning cover descends, the compressed candy slides along the guide ramp towards the center of the transparent positioning cover. A spring connects the transparent positioning cover and the top plate.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by placing compressed candy on the telescopic testing frame, and then the telescopic testing frame drives the transparent protective cover to descend, after the transparent protective cover contacts the compressed candy, the compressed candy slides along the guide ramp to the middle of the transparent positioning cover, so that the testing head contacts the compressed candy as evenly as possible, thereby improving the uniformity of pressure during testing and the accuracy of the testing results.

[0007] To prevent sudden sliding and collisions when positioning the compressed candy towards the center of the transparent positioning cover;

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: multiple guide lines are formed on the guide ramp, and the multiple guide lines are equidistantly arranged along the central axis of the transparent positioning cover.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the guide pattern allows the compressed candy to move along the guide pattern after the transparent positioning cover is placed on it, reducing the risk of damage caused by the compressed candy moving and colliding randomly during its positioning towards the center of the transparent positioning cover.

[0010] To facilitate the selection of appropriate detection heads for different types of compressed candies;

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the detection head is threaded to the bottom of the detection rod, and a buffer pad is provided at the bottom of the detection head.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: by connecting the detection head to the bottom of the detection rod by thread, a suitable detection head can be selected according to the different shapes of compressed candies. At the same time, the setting of the buffer pad can increase the buffer between the detection head and the compressed candy when they come into contact, thus preventing the compressed candy from breaking suddenly.

[0013] To protect the transparent positioning cover;

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a protective ring is provided at the bottom of the transparent positioning cover.

[0015] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the protective ring can prevent collision and friction between the transparent positioning cover and the operating table surface when the cover descends and comes into contact with it, thus protecting the transparent cover.

[0016] To facilitate the collection of compressed candies after testing;

[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the telescopic detection frame is provided with a positioning ring corresponding to the position of the transparent positioning cover, and a detection dish for holding compressed candy is movably disposed inside the positioning ring. An elastic ring is provided inside the positioning ring for fixing the detection dish.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: by placing the test dish in the positioning ring, the elastic ring fixes the position of the test dish, and the test dish can be directly removed after the test is completed.

[0019] To facilitate the use of this device;

[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the telescopic detection frame includes a telescopic component connected to the bottom of one end of the top plate and a base connected to the bottom of the telescopic component. The positioning ring is located at the upper end of the base, and the bottom of the base is provided with multiple suction cups.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: by having multiple suction cups contact the plane and fix the device in place, while the base supports it, the transparent positioning cover and detection head are lowered by the telescopic component during use, making it more convenient to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model in any way.

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, a device for testing the hardness of compressed candy includes a telescopic testing frame and a transparent positioning cover 6. The telescopic testing frame has a top plate 2 at its top, a testing instrument 3 on the top plate 2, and a testing rod 4 at its bottom. A testing head 5, electrically connected to the testing instrument 3, is located at the end of the testing rod 4 furthest from the top plate 2. The testing head 5 has a pressure sensor. The testing head 5 contacts the compressed candy with a certain pressure, the pressure sensor captures the pressure signal, and records the force value. The testing instrument 3 analyzes and displays the force value. Both the testing head 5 and the testing instrument 3 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The transparent positioning cover 6 is slidably connected to the testing rod 4, and the testing head 5 is located in the middle of the transparent positioning cover 6. A guide ramp 7 is located at the lower interior of the transparent positioning cover 6. The guide ramp 7 slopes downwards from the center of the transparent positioning cover 6 towards the bottom edge. When the transparent positioning cover 6 descends, the compressed candy slides along the guide ramp 7 towards the center of the transparent positioning cover 6. The transparent positioning cover 6 and the top plate 2... A spring 8 is connected between the components. In use, the compressed candy to be tested is placed at the lower end of the telescopic support frame. Then, the telescopic testing frame moves the transparent positioning cover 6 and the testing head 5 towards the compressed candy at a certain speed and pressure. When the transparent positioning cover 6 moves to the position of the compressed candy, the compressed candy first contacts the guide ramp 7. As the transparent positioning cover 6 descends, the compressed candy slides along the slope of the guide ramp 7 towards the middle of the transparent positioning cover 6. Then, the testing head 5 descends. At this time, the compressed candy is limited to the middle position of the transparent positioning cover 6 and contacts the testing head 5. After the compressed candy is broken by the maximum force applied, it is covered by the transparent protective cover to prevent the compressed candy from splashing. At the same time, the testing head 5 transmits this result to the testing instrument 3, which analyzes and displays the result. Then, the test result is compared to see if it is qualified. Then, other samples can be tested. The compressed candy is limited to a certain position, which improves the uniformity of pressure during testing and the accuracy of the test result.

[0029] Furthermore, multiple guide lines 9 are formed on the guide ramp 7. These guide lines 9 are equidistantly arranged along the central axis of the transparent positioning cover 6. When the transparent positioning cover 6 comes into contact with the compressed candy, the compressed candy will come into contact with the guide lines 9 and move along the lines of the guide lines 9. This prevents the compressed candy from sliding and causing collision damage when the transparent positioning cover 6 suddenly comes into contact with the surface of the compressed candy.

[0030] Furthermore, the detection head 5 is threaded to the bottom of the detection rod 4, and a buffer pad 10 is provided at the bottom of the detection head 5. The buffer pad 10 can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone. The threaded connection between the detection head 5 and the detection rod 4 facilitates the disassembly of the detection head 5. When testing compressed candies with large differences in shape, it is convenient to replace the appropriate detection head 5 to test the compressed candies. At the same time, the buffer pad 10 can increase the buffer protection of the compressed candies. When the detection head 5 comes into contact with the compressed candies, the buffer pad 10 can prevent the detection head 5 from suddenly applying pressure to the compressed candies and breaking them instantly, making it easy to observe the breaking process of the compressed candies. At the same time, the buffer pad 10 can also adapt to the partial shape of the compressed candies, increasing the uniformity of the test results.

[0031] Furthermore, a protective ring 11 is provided at the bottom of the transparent positioning cover 6. The protective ring 11 can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone. The protective ring 11 can protect the transparent positioning cover 6 when it descends and comes into contact with the telescopic detection frame, thus preventing wear on the bottom of the transparent positioning cover 6.

[0032] Furthermore, the telescopic testing frame is equipped with a positioning ring 12 corresponding to the position of the transparent positioning cover 6. A testing dish 13 for holding compressed candy is movably installed inside the positioning ring 12. An elastic ring 14 is provided inside the positioning ring 12 to fix the testing dish 13. The elastic ring 14 can be made of rubber, silicone, or other materials. In use, the testing dish 13 is placed inside the positioning ring 12 and fixed by the compression of the elastic ring 14. Then, the compressed candy is placed inside the testing dish 13. After the compressed candy is tested, whether it is broken or intact, it will remain in the testing dish 13. The testing dish 13 can be removed directly to pour out the compressed candy, making it easy to collect the compressed candy after testing.

[0033] Furthermore, the telescopic testing frame includes a telescopic component 101 connected to the bottom of one end of the top plate 2 and a base 102 connected to the bottom of the telescopic component 101. A positioning ring 12 is located at the upper end of the base 102, and multiple suction cups 15 are provided at the bottom of the base 102. The telescopic component 101 can be an electric telescopic rod, a hydraulic telescopic rod, etc. In use, the base 102 is fixed on a suitable plane by the adsorption and fixing effect of the multiple suction cups 15. Then, the telescopic component 101 can directly drive the testing head 5 and the transparent positioning cover 6 to descend and test the compressed candy, making it more convenient and faster to use.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using this device, first move it to the desired location and place it on a suitable operating surface. It is then fixed by suction cups 15. Next, select and install the appropriate detection head 5 according to the shape of the candy to be tested. Then, place the detection dish 13 in the positioning ring 12, and press and fix it under the elastic action of the elastic ring 14. Then, the telescopic component 101 drives the top plate 2 to descend, simultaneously lowering the detection head 5 and the transparent positioning cover 6. The transparent positioning cover 6 enters the detection dish 13 first, contacting the inner bottom surface of the dish 13. The compressed candy then slides along the guide lines 9 and guide ramp 7 towards the center of the transparent positioning cover 6. At this point, the detection head 5 slowly descends, and the spring 8 deforms. The detection head 5 then contacts the compressed candy, and the buffer pad 10 prevents the candy from suddenly breaking. Simultaneously, the detection head 5 detects the pressure and transmits the pressure value to the detector 3. The detector 3 analyzes and displays the pressure value, then compares it with the standard value to determine whether the hardness of the compressed candy is qualified.
