[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.

[0019] This utility model discloses a tofu sampling and testing device, which mainly includes a housing 1, a sliding mechanism 2, a support platform 3, a sampling trough 4, a lifting mechanism 5, a detection probe 6, a trace element detector 7, a sampling component 8, and a filter plate 9. The sliding mechanism 2 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and the support platform 3 is installed on the sliding mechanism 2. The support platform 3 is provided with a positioning groove 301, and the sampling trough 4 is placed in the positioning groove 301. The sampling trough 4 is divided into a sampling area 401 and two detection areas 402 by two filter plates 9. The lifting mechanism 5 is installed inside the housing 1, and two sets of detection probes 6 are installed on the lifting mechanism 5, which are located directly above the detection areas 402. The trace element detector 7, which is electrically connected to the detection probes 6, is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1. The sampling component 8, which is used to press the finished tofu, is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 and is located directly above the sampling trough 4.

[0020] In use, the operator places the sampling tank 4 containing the finished tofu on the support platform 3, and then starts the sampling component 8. The sampling component 8 presses the finished tofu in the sampling area 401 to form an emulsion. The emulsion is filtered through the filter plate 9 and flows to the detection area 402. At the same time, the operator turns on the power switch of the trace element detector 3 and starts the lifting mechanism 5. The lifting mechanism 5 moves the two sets of detection probes 6 down to the detection area 402, immersing their bottom ends in the solution. The trace element detector 7 then detects the trace elements in the solution. After the detection is completed, the lifting mechanism 5 moves the two sets of probes 6 down to the detection area 402. The detection probe 6 moves down to the detection area 402 and detaches from the detection area 402, making it easy for the operator to manually remove the sampling tank 4 for cleaning. This utility model, through the combined use of the sampling component, sampling tank, and detection probe, can automatically complete the sampling and testing of finished tofu. The emulsion in the sampling area is filtered using a filter plate, eliminating the need for manual preparation of the sample solution, reducing manual operation, improving work efficiency, and also reducing the contact between the operator and the sample, thus improving the safety of the testing process. The detection probe and trace element analyzer are used to detect the trace element content of the sample solution in the detection area, ensuring the accuracy of the test results.

[0021] The sliding mechanism 2 includes a guide rail 201, a slider 202, a first electric push rod 203, and a connecting block 204. The guide rail 201 is installed inside the housing 1. The bottom of the housing 1 has a rectangular slot 101, and the side wall has a rectangular inlet 102. The support platform 3 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 201 via the slider 202. The bottom of the support platform 3 is equipped with a connecting block 204 that penetrates the rectangular slot 101. The first electric push rod 203 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the controller. The piston rod of the first electric push rod 203 is connected to the connecting block 204. The first electric push rod 203 drives the slider 202 to move along the guide rail 201 through the connecting block 204, which in turn drives the support platform 3 to move into the box 1. This enables automatic sampling of the finished tofu. The operator only needs to place the sampling trough 4 containing the finished tofu on the support platform. Without complicated operations, the detection program can be started, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the convenience of operation. After the detection is completed, the first electric push rod 203 drives the support platform 3 to move in the opposite direction to the outside of the box 1, making it easy for the operator to remove the sampling trough 4 for cleaning.

[0022] The sampling component 8 includes a mounting block 801, a second electric push rod 802, and a rectangular pressure plate 803. The second electric push rod 802 is vertically mounted inside the housing 1 via the mounting block 801 and is electrically connected to the controller. The rectangular pressure plate 803 is mounted on the piston rod end of the second electric push rod 802 and is located directly above the sampling area 401. When the sampling slot 4 is in the predetermined position, the second electric push rod 802 drives the rectangular pressure plate 803 to move downward, crushing the finished tofu into an emulsion through the rectangular pressure plate 803, which facilitates the collection of the emulsion without manual operation, reducing the contact between the operator and the sample, improving the safety of the detection process, and increasing work efficiency.

[0023] The lifting mechanism 5 includes a support block 501, a cylinder 502, and a support frame 503. The cylinder 502 is vertically installed inside the housing 1 via the support block 501 and is electrically connected to the controller. The support frame 503 is mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder 502, and the detection probe 6 is installed at the end of the support frame 503. During detection, the cylinder 502 drives the support frame 503 to move downward, which in turn drives the detection probe 6 downward, immersing the detection probe 6 in the solution of the detection area 402, thereby detecting trace elements in the solution. After the detection is completed, the cylinder 502 drives the support frame 503 to move upward, which in turn drives the detection probe 6 upward, causing the detection probe 6 to detach from the solution of the detection area 402, thus avoiding obstruction to the movement of the sampling tank 4.

[0024] The bottom of the sampling area 401 of the sampling tank 4 is higher than the bottom of the detection area 402; this facilitates the flow of the solution filtered in the sampling area 401 to the detection area 402, making it easier to collect and detect the solution.

[0025] Work process:

[0026] In use, the first electric push rod 203 is activated. The first electric push rod 203 drives the slider 202 to move along the guide rail 201 via the connecting block 204, further moving the support platform 3 to the outside of the housing 1. The sampling trough 4 containing the finished tofu is placed in the rectangular groove 101 of the support platform 3 for positioning and fixation. Then, the first electric push rod 203 drives the support platform 3 to move in the opposite direction, sending the sampling trough 4 into the housing. This eliminates the need for complex operations by the operator, reducing operational difficulty and improving ease of use. When the sampling trough 4 is in the predetermined position within the housing 1, the second electric push rod 802 drives the rectangular pressure plate 803 to move downwards. The rectangular pressure plate 803 crushes the finished tofu into an emulsion. The emulsion is filtered through the filter plate 9 and flows to the detection area 402 for easy processing. The sampling process is automated, requiring no manual operation, which reduces contact between operators and samples, improves the safety of the detection process, and increases work efficiency. Next, the operator turns on the power switch of the trace element analyzer 3 and starts the lifting mechanism 5. The cylinder 502 drives the support frame 503 to move downward, which in turn drives the detection probe 6 to move downward, so that the detection probe 6 is immersed in the solution in the detection area 402. The trace element analyzer 7 then detects the trace elements in the solution. After the detection is completed, the cylinder 502 drives the support frame 503 to move upward, which in turn drives the detection probe 6 to move upward, so that the detection probe 6 is removed from the solution in the detection area 402, avoiding obstruction to the movement of the sampling tank 4. Then, the first electric push rod 203 drives the support platform 3 to move in the opposite direction to the outside of the box 1, so that the operator can take out the sampling tank 4 for cleaning.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
