[0002] Before food testing, it is generally necessary to process and separate the food to separate the solids and liquids, which is beneficial for better classification and testing. Centrifugal separation devices are usually used. Centrifugal separation devices use centrifugal force to accelerate the separation of different materials. For example, patent CN211825359U discloses a high-speed centrifugal separation device for food testing, which includes a shell with a top cover on the top. The top of the shell has grooves on both sides. The bottom of the top cover has protrusions that match the grooves, which are fixed to both sides by bolts. The top of the top cover has long neck bolts threaded on both sides, and the bottom of the long neck bolts is threaded into the grooves. A motor is fixed to the top of the top cover by bolts. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a rotating rod that passes through the top cover through a coupling. The bottom of the rotating rod is fixed to a centrifuge cylinder by bolts. This device allows for easy removal of the centrifuge tube from the outer casing, facilitating cleaning of both the tube and the casing and preventing food residue from remaining inside the centrifuge, which could affect its next use. However, the internal capacity of the device is fixed, and a larger centrifuge tube can easily lead to centrifugation failure when the sample volume to be tested is small, limiting the device's applicability.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a food inspection centrifugal separator. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a food inspection centrifuge, including a shell 1, a top cover 3 magnetically fixed on the shell 1, a driving structure mounted on the top cover 3, a connecting structure mounted on the output end of the driving structure, a support cylinder 7 installed inside the shell 1, a centrifuge barrel 10 rotatably fitted inside the support cylinder 7, the centrifuge barrel 10 corresponding to the connecting structure, a first through groove 16 opened inside the support cylinder 7, and a liquid outlet pipe 18 fixed on one side of the shell 1, the liquid outlet pipe 18 being connected to the shell 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, the outer shell 1 has multiple mounting slots 4, the support cylinder 7 has mounting blocks 5 fixed around its periphery, and the top cover 3 has multiple pressure blocks 6 fixed on its lower side. The pressure blocks 6 and the mounting blocks 5 are all corresponding to the mounting slots 4.

[0022] Specifically, the support cylinder 7 is placed inside the outer shell 1, so that the mounting block 5 enters the mounting groove 4 and the mounting block 5 and the mounting groove 4 are engaged. Then, the top cover 3 is put on, so that the pressure block 6 enters the mounting groove 4 and can squeeze the mounting block 5 to fix the support cylinder 7. When disassembly is required, the top cover 3 is removed and the support cylinder 7 can be pulled out, so as to facilitate the replacement of the support cylinder 7.

[0023] The drive structure includes a motor 2, which is fixedly connected to the top cover 3. The output end of the motor 2 is fixed with a rotating shaft 11. The connection structure includes multiple telescopic rods 21 fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 11. The end of the telescopic rod 21 is fixed with a locking block 13. The centrifuge tank 10 is provided with a locking groove 12, which corresponds to the locking block 13.

[0024] Specifically, when centrifugation is required, the motor 2 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 11 to rotate, thereby driving the telescopic rod 21 to rotate. The telescopic rod 21 drives the centrifuge tank 10 to rotate through the locking block 13, thus enabling centrifugation. The length of the telescopic rod 21 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the locking block 13, so that the device can be used for centrifuge tanks 10 of different sizes.

[0025] The support cylinder 7 is fitted with a rotating ring 8 and a rotating seat 9. The rotating ring 8 is in contact with the centrifuge tank 10. The bottom of the centrifuge tank 10 is provided with a groove 14, which corresponds to the rotating seat 9.

[0026] Specifically, the centrifuge tank 10 is installed inside the support cylinder 7. When the centrifuge tank 10 rotates, the rotating ring 8 and the rotating seat 9 rotate together.

[0027] The bottom of the centrifuge tank 10 is conical. A second through groove 17 is provided inside the centrifuge tank 10. A solenoid valve 15 is fixed in the second through groove 17. The second through groove 17 corresponds to the first through groove 16. A valve 19 is installed on the liquid outlet pipe 18.

[0028] Specifically, when centrifuging a large amount of food, the centrifuge tank 10 can be installed inside the support cylinder 7, and then the motor 2 can be started for centrifugation. After centrifugation is completed, the solenoid valve 15 and valve 19 can be opened, so that the solution can flow out from the second channel 17 and the first channel 16 to collect the solution.

[0029] The centrifuge tank 10 has multiple test tube slots 20, and test tubes are fixedly attached to the test tube slots 20.

[0030] When centrifuging a small amount of food, the food can be placed in a test tube, and then the centrifuge tank 10 can be replaced with a centrifuge tank 10 with a test tube trough 20. Centrifugation is then performed by the motor 2, which drives the centrifuge tank 10 to rotate as a whole, thus enabling the centrifugation of a small amount of food.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
