[0021] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Example:

[0023] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a red yeast rice fermentation screening device includes a support frame 11, on which a conveyor belt 12 is mounted. The conveyor belt 12 is a sample transport component, enabling samples to be transported to designated locations without requiring manual handling, thus improving the ease of operation. Multiple sample storage tanks 13 are mounted on the conveyor belt 12 to store red yeast rice fermentation samples. The sample storage tanks 13 allow for orderly storage and transport of samples, enhancing the device's sample storage and transport capabilities. Mounting frames 14 are mounted on the sample storage tanks 13, providing stable mounting positions for other components and improving the device's structural stability. A sampling motor 15 is mounted on the mounting frame 14. The configuration of sampling motor 15 enables the device to accurately extract samples, reducing human error and improving sampling accuracy. Sampling motor 15 is electrically connected to control module 16, which is mounted on conveyor belt 12. Through the configuration of control module 16, data information from other components can be collected, allowing users to understand various parameters of red yeast rice fermentation samples, thus improving the device's data collection capability. At the same time, users can control other components through control module 16, enabling the device to automatically complete sample transportation, sampling, detection, and classification operations, improving the automation level and work efficiency of the device, and enhancing the convenience and efficiency of user operation. Control module 16 can be Siemens S7-200 SMART.

[0024] The conveyor belt 12 is connected to the control module 16 via wires. The control module 16 is electrically connected to multiple sets of electric push rods 17. The user can control the motor in the conveyor belt 12 through the control module 16, thereby driving the conveyor belt 12 to realize the automatic transport of samples. This enables the device to efficiently complete the sample transport and screening process, improving the transport efficiency of the device and enhancing the convenience of the user during operation. At the same time, the user can control the multiple sets of electric push rods 17 through the control module 16 to push the sample storage tank 13 to classify and process red yeast rice fermentation samples of different qualities. This enables the user to efficiently complete the screening work and improves the red yeast rice fermentation screening efficiency of the device.

[0025] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, a detection module 21 is located above the sampling motor 15. The detection module 21 is a key component for detecting sample components. Through the setting of the detection module 21, the components of red yeast rice pigment in the fermented red yeast rice sample can be detected quickly and accurately, allowing users to understand the quality of the sample in a timely manner and improving the detection accuracy of the device. The detection module 21 can be equipped with a 722N visible spectrophotometer. The detection module 21 is mounted on the mounting bracket 14 and connected to the control module 16 via a data cable. The detection data from the detection module 21 is transmitted to the control module 16 and then output, enabling the device to respond quickly to the detection results and improving the working efficiency of the device. A sampling claw 18 is slidably mounted inside the sampling motor 15, and the sampling claw 18 is connected to a high-pressure liquid pump via a three-way pipe. The high-pressure liquid pump 24 and solvent tank 25 are respectively mounted on the mounting frame 14. The sampling claw 18 can take the sample out of the sample storage tank 13 under the drive of the sampling motor 15. After being mixed with the solvent in the solvent tank 25 by the action of the high-pressure liquid pump 24, the sample enters the subsequent components, which improves the reliability of the device. The high-pressure liquid pump 24 provides power for sample transportation. The setting of the high-pressure liquid pump 24 can ensure that the sample and the solvent in the solvent tank 25 can be smoothly transported to the subsequent components after mixing, which improves the sample transportation capacity of the device. The solvent tank 25 provides solvent for sample detection. The setting of the solvent tank 25 can ensure that the sample can be mixed with a suitable solvent during the detection process, which improves the detection accuracy and enhances the detection performance of the device.

[0026] The detection module 21 is connected to a chromatographic column 22 and a waste liquid tank 23 via pipes at both ends. The chromatographic column 22 is connected to the sampling motor 15 via a pipe. The chromatographic column 22 and the waste liquid tank 23 are respectively mounted on the mounting frame 14. By setting up the chromatographic column 22, the components in the sample mixed with the solvent can be separated and analyzed, enabling the detection module 21 to accurately detect the red yeast rice pigment content in the sample, thus improving the detection accuracy of the device. The chromatographic column 22 can be a Yuexu Ultramate XB-C18 liquid chromatography column. The waste liquid tank 23 is used to collect the waste liquid after detection. By setting up the waste liquid tank 23, the device can store a certain amount of waste liquid in a timely manner, avoiding environmental pollution and improving the environmental friendliness of the device.

[0027] A disinfection box 31 is fitted between the sampling motor 15 and the mounting frame 14. The disinfection box 31 is fitted inside the mounting frame 14. The disinfection box 31 can accommodate other disinfection components, improving the structural compactness of the device. A disinfection tube 32 is inserted inside the disinfection box 31, providing a channel for the disinfection process. The disinfection tube 32 ensures that the sampling component of the sampling motor 15 is fully disinfected when passing through it, improving the safety of the device. A guide ring 33 is fitted inside the disinfection tube 32. The guide ring 33 is sleeved on the sampling claw 18, ensuring its connection with the sampling claw 18 and improving the stability of the device. The guide ring 33 guides the sampling claw 18 through the disinfection tube 32. The guide ring 33 ensures that the sampling claw 18 passes stably through the disinfection area, improving the disinfection effect and reliability.

[0028] Both sides of the disinfection tube 32 are equipped with ultraviolet disinfection lamps 34. The ultraviolet disinfection lamps 34 are connected to the control module 16 through wires. The ultraviolet disinfection lamps 34 generate ultraviolet light for disinfection. By setting the ultraviolet disinfection lamps 34, bacteria and impurities on the sampling claw 18 can be effectively killed, improving the hygiene and safety of the device. The ultraviolet disinfection lamps 34 are connected to the control module 16 through wires, so that they can be controlled by the control module 16 to turn on and off when needed, improving the automation level and ease of operation of the device.

[0029] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0030] When using the device, the user first places the sample storage container 13 containing the red yeast rice fermentation sample on the conveyor belt 12. After starting the device, the conveyor belt 12, under the control of the control module 16, transports the sample storage container 13 to a position below the sampling motor 15. Then, under the control of the control module 16, the sampling motor 15 guides the sampling claw 18 through the disinfection tube 32 in the disinfection box 31, guided by the guide ring 33, and after the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 34, controlled by the control module 16, kills bacteria and impurities, extracting the sample from the sample storage container 13, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the sampling. After sampling is completed, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 34 is turned off under the control of the control module 16, and the sampling claw 18 rises. This ensures sample integrity and improves the reliability of the device. The extracted sample is then mixed with solvent provided in solvent tank 25 by high-pressure pump 24. The mixed sample then enters the chromatographic column 22 through a pipeline for separation and analysis. The analyzed sample is then transported to detection module 21, which detects the components in the sample. The waste liquid from the analysis is collected in waste liquid tank 23 to avoid environmental pollution. Simultaneously, the red yeast rice pigment data of the sample is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted to control module 16 via a data cable. Control module 16 then transmits the data to an external display, allowing the user to analyze the results from detection module 21. Control module 16 controls the operation of conveyor belt 12 and the movement of electric push rod 17 to classify samples, improving the automation and practicality of the device.
