[0002] As people's living standards improve, the quality and safety of food are receiving increasing attention. In order to avoid food contamination by harmful microorganisms and to prevent people from contracting foodborne illnesses after consumption, it is necessary to test whether the microorganisms in food exceed the standard through food inspection, thereby protecting consumers' health.

[0003] However, in traditional food testing homogenization devices, the material easily sticks to the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder when homogenizing food. Since there is no cleaning device, the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder is prone to residue from the previous sample. When homogenizing for the next time, it will contaminate the new sample, interfere with the test results, and the residue of sugar-containing samples will become viscous, which will block some parts of the device or corrode the inner wall, shortening the service life of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new homogenizing device for food inspection to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a food testing homogenizing device that is easy to use, can clean the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder, and is simple to operate.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a homogenizing device for food inspection, comprising: a device body, wherein the device body has the same opening on both adjacent sides, a splash-proof observation glass is provided on one side of the device body, a hinge is rotatably installed between the splash-proof observation glass and the device body, a base is provided inside the device body, a homogenizing cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the base, a filter plate and a collection cylinder are respectively fixedly installed inside the homogenizing cylinder and the base, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the device body, a lifting seat is provided inside the device body, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder extends to the top of the base. The device body is fixedly connected to the lifting seat. The lifting seat is equipped with a stirring and cutting structure. A second rack is fixedly installed on both sides of the lifting seat. Two rotating rods are rotatably installed in the device body. Gears are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the two rotating rods. The two gears mesh with the two second racks. The device body is equipped with an annular scraper. Two first racks are fixedly installed on the top of the annular scraper. The tops of the two first racks extend out of the device body and are fixedly installed with the same annular support plate. The two gears also mesh with the two first racks.

[0007] Preferably, nozzles are fixedly installed on the top sides of the annular scraper that are close to each other, a water storage tank is fixedly installed inside the device body, two pump bodies are fixedly installed inside the water storage tank, and a second pipe is fixedly installed at the water outlet end of each of the two pump bodies. The other ends of the two second pipes are respectively fixedly connected to the two nozzles.

[0008] Preferably, the stirring and cutting structure includes a motor fixedly installed inside the lifting seat, the output shaft of the motor extending outside the lifting seat and having a cutting blade fixedly installed thereon, and a stirring rod also fixedly installed outside the output shaft of the motor.

[0009] Preferably, the device body has a movable plate, the base is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate, a connecting sliding rod is slidably installed in the device body, one end of the connecting sliding rod is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and rollers are rotatably installed on both sides of the movable plate.

[0010] Preferably, the device body is provided with two protrusions, and the two first racks are provided with grooves on the sides that are far apart from each other, and the protrusions are adapted to the grooves.

[0012] Compared with related technologies, the homogenizing device for food inspection provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention provides a homogenizing device for food inspection. It utilizes a hydraulic cylinder, annular support plate, groove, first rack, second rack, annular scraper, stirring rod, cutting blade, rotating rod, gear, lifting seat, and motor in coordination. The lifting seat, while descending, can quickly chop and thoroughly mix larger food samples. In food inspection, some samples may be in various shapes such as blocks or flakes; the cutting blade and stirring rod can make the samples more uniform. Furthermore, food samples, especially highly viscous samples (such as jams containing pectin or sauces containing starch), tend to adhere to the cylinder wall. The annular scraper can promptly scrape away these viscous samples, thus preventing sample residue on the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder. The device also utilizes a nozzle, pump body, second pipe, water injection pipe, first pipe, and water tank in coordination to scrape away sample residue from the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder. Simultaneously, the cleaning solution sprayed out can promptly rinse the annular scraper and the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder, effectively removing residual food samples. For food components that are prone to drying or solidifying, such as dairy products and thick sauces, timely cleaning can prevent them from drying and hardening inside the device, thus reducing cleaning difficulty. Through the cooperation of the homogenizing cylinder, base, moving plate, connecting sliding rod, splash-proof observation glass, rollers, filter plate, and collection cylinder, the moving plate can be removed to facilitate the placement and removal of samples. When a deep cleaning of the homogenizing cylinder is required, the pull-out design can easily remove the entire homogenizing cylinder for thorough cleaning of all internal corners. Furthermore, the splash-proof observation glass can effectively prevent sample splashing during homogenization, avoiding food samples from splashing out during high-speed homogenization and reducing sample contamination of the surrounding environment.

Two rotating rods 24 are rotatably installed inside the device body 1. Gears 25 are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the two rotating rods 24. The two gears 25 mesh with the two second racks 18. An annular scraper 19 is provided inside the device body 1. Food samples, especially some highly viscous samples (such as jams containing pectin, sauces containing starch, etc.), easily adhere to the cylinder wall. The annular scraper 19 can promptly scrape off these highly viscous samples, thereby preventing sample residue from remaining on the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder 13. Two first racks 6 are fixedly installed on the top of the annular scraper 19. The tops of the two first racks 6 extend outside the device body 1 and are fixedly installed with the same annular support plate 4. The two gears 25 also mesh with the two first racks 6.

[0024] The top of the annular scraper 19 is fixedly equipped with nozzles 22 on the side that are close to each other. A water storage tank 10 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1 of the device. Two pump bodies 16 are fixedly installed inside the water storage tank 10. The outlet ends of the two pump bodies 16 are fixedly equipped with second pipes 23. The other ends of the two second pipes 23 are respectively fixedly connected to the two nozzles 22.

[0025] The stirring and cutting structure includes a motor 27 fixedly installed inside the lifting seat 26. The output shaft of the motor 27 extends to the outside of the lifting seat 26 and a cutting blade 21 is fixedly installed thereon. A stirring rod 20 is also fixedly installed outside the output shaft of the motor 27. The cutting blade 21 and the stirring rod 20 can make the sample more uniform.

[0026] The device body 1 is provided with a movable plate 11, and the base 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable plate 11. A connecting sliding rod 15 is slidably installed inside the device body 1. One end of the connecting sliding rod 15 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 11. Rollers 12 are rotatably installed on both sides of the movable plate 11. The pull-out design allows the homogenizing cylinder 13 to be easily removed, facilitating thorough cleaning of all internal corners.

[0027] The device body 1 is provided with two protrusions 8, and the two first racks 6 are provided with grooves 7 on the side that are far apart from each other. The protrusions 8 are adapted to the grooves 7.

[0028] A water injection pipe 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the water storage tank 10 away from the homogenizing cylinder 13. Two first pipes 17 are also fixedly installed inside the water storage tank 10, and one end of each of the two first pipes 17 is fixedly connected to the water inlet of the two pump bodies 16.

[0029] The working principle of the homogenizing device for food inspection provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0030] First, place the blocky food to be homogenized into the homogenizing cylinder 13, then place the collecting cylinder 3 into the base 14, push the moving plate 11 to move it into the device body 1, close the splash-proof observation glass 2, and then start the motor 27 and hydraulic cylinder 5 respectively. The output shaft of the motor 27 drives the cutting blade 21 and the stirring rod 20 to rotate, and the hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the lifting seat 26 to descend through the telescopic end. The cutting blade 21 begins to cut the blocky food in the homogenizing cylinder 13, and the stirring rod 20 begins to stir the food. While cutting and stirring, the blocky food becomes a homogenate and flows into the collecting cylinder 3 through the filter plate 28. The remaining blocky food continues to be cut and stirred in the homogenizing cylinder 13. After the food homogenization in the homogenizing cylinder 13 is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 5 drives the lifting seat 26 to rise. At this time, the second rack 18 drives the first rack 6 to descend through the gear 25, so that the annular scraper 19 extends into the homogenizing cylinder 13 and scrapes the remaining food sample into the collection cylinder 3. Then the splash-proof observation glass 2 can be opened to remove the collection cylinder 3. When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder 13, a clean collection cylinder 3 is placed in, and then the pump body 16 is turned on. The pump body 16 draws out the cleaning liquid in the water tank 10 through the first pipe 17 and delivers it to the nozzle 22 through the second pipe 23. The cleaning liquid sprayed from the nozzle 22 washes the sample remaining on the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder 13, thus completing the homogenization of the food.

The cutting blade 21 and stirring rod 20 can make the samples more uniform. Furthermore, food samples, especially those with high viscosity (such as jams containing pectin or sauces containing starch), tend to adhere to the cylinder wall. The annular scraper 19 can promptly scrape away these highly viscous samples, thus preventing sample residue from remaining on the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder 13. The device also utilizes a nozzle 22, pump body 16, second pipe 23, water injection pipe 9, first pipe 17, and water tank 10 in coordination to homogenize the sample. While scraping the sample from the inner wall of the cylinder 13, the cleaning process also includes cleaning. The sprayed cleaning fluid can promptly rinse the annular scraper 19 and the inner wall of the homogenizing cylinder 13, effectively removing residual food samples. For food components that are prone to drying or solidifying, such as dairy products and thick sauces, timely cleaning can prevent them from drying inside the device, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning. Through the cooperation of the homogenizing cylinder 13, base 14, moving plate 11, connecting sliding rod 15, splash-proof observation glass 2, roller 12, filter plate 28, and collection cylinder 3, the moving plate 11 can be removed to facilitate the placement and removal of samples. When a deep cleaning of the homogenizing cylinder 13 is required, the pull-out design can easily remove the entire homogenizing cylinder 13 for thorough cleaning of all internal corners. Furthermore, the splash-proof observation glass 2 can effectively prevent sample splashing during homogenization, avoiding food samples from splashing out during high-speed homogenization and reducing sample contamination of the surrounding environment.
