Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food sampling technology, and in particular to a portable sampling device for food safety testing. Background Technology

[0002] Food sampling is a crucial step in food safety testing. It involves taking a portion of a substance, material, or product as a representative sample for testing or calibration. Samples are randomly selected from a large batch of food products, ensuring that all parts of the food have an equal chance of being collected. Common random sampling methods include simple random sampling, systematic random sampling, and stratified random sampling. Existing food sampling devices are often box-shaped, bulky, cumbersome, and inadequate for small-scale sampling. Therefore, we are introducing a portable food safety testing sampling device. Utility Model Content

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] A portable sampling device for food safety testing includes a sample storage cylinder 1, a lower cover plate 6 threadedly connected to the lower end of the sample storage cylinder 1, an upper cover plate 3 threadedly connected to the upper end of the sample storage cylinder 1, a handle 5 fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the sample storage cylinder 1, a first sampling device 2 inserted and fixedly connected to the upper left side of the sample storage cylinder 1, a second sampling device 4 inserted and fixedly connected to the upper right side of the sample storage cylinder 1, and internal threads 7 provided on the upper part of the inner wall of the lower cover plate 6 and the lower part of the inner wall of the upper cover plate 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the upper front and upper rear of the sample storage cylinder 1 are both provided with storage cavities 15, and sealing plugs 11 are inserted into both storage cavities 15. The upper left of the sample storage cylinder 1 is provided with a second through slot 16, and the upper right of the sample storage cylinder 1 is provided with a first through slot 12. The lower part and the upper part of the outer surface of the sample storage cylinder 1 are provided with external threads 13, and the front part and the rear part of the outer surface of the sample storage cylinder 1 are provided with observation windows 14. The two observation windows 14 correspond to the positions of the two storage cavities 15 respectively.

[0027] The above solution involves two storage chambers 15 inside the sample storage cylinder 1. These two independent storage spaces can store granular food separately, effectively avoiding cross-contamination between different samples.

[0028] In this embodiment, the second sampling device 4 includes a circular block 41, with a pull rod 42 movably connected to the upper end of the circular block 41, a sponge head 43 fixedly connected to the lower end of the pull rod 42, and a pull ring 44 fixedly connected to the upper end of the pull rod 42; the circular block 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first slot 12; the first sampling device 2 includes a sleeve 21, with a piston 24 slidably connected inside the sleeve 21, a connecting rod 23 fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston 24, a suction head 25 fixedly connected to the lower end of the sleeve 21, and a pull block 22 fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 23; the sleeve 21 is inserted and fixedly connected to the second slot 16.

[0029] Through the above scheme, the coordinated work of sleeve 21, piston 24 and connecting rod 23 can achieve accurate and leak-free liquid sampling, ensuring the integrity and representativeness of the sample. For sampling viscous food, the user only needs to gently push the pull rod 42 down, and the sponge head 43 at the end of the pull rod 42 will smoothly extend into the sample storage cylinder 1. With its good adsorption and softness, it can easily and completely collect viscous samples.

[0030] It should be noted that this utility model describes a portable sampling device for food safety testing. The upper end of the sample storage cylinder 1 is threadedly connected to an upper cover plate 3, and the lower end is also threadedly connected to a lower cover plate 6. This not only ensures the sealing of the sample storage cylinder 1 and prevents the sample from being contaminated or leaked by the external environment, but also allows the upper cover plate 3 and the lower cover plate 6 to be easily disassembled and assembled, making it convenient for users to store and retrieve samples. The handle 5 on the outer surface of the sample storage cylinder 1 enables quick and convenient carrying and operation, whether for outdoor sampling or transfer within the laboratory. The sample storage cylinder 1 has two storage cavities 15 inside. These two independent storage spaces can store granular food separately, effectively avoiding cross-contamination between different samples. For sampling liquid foods, the coordinated operation of the sleeve 21, piston 24, and connecting rod 23 enables accurate and leak-free liquid sampling, ensuring the integrity and representativeness of the sample. For sampling viscous foods, the user only needs to gently push the pull rod 42 downwards, and the sponge head 43 at the end of the pull rod 42 will smoothly extend into the sample storage cylinder 1. With its good adsorption and softness, it can easily and completely collect viscous samples, meeting the sampling needs of various forms of food.
