[0002] Food safety testing involves detecting harmful substances in food according to indicators, mainly harmful and toxic indicators such as heavy metals and aflatoxin. In the process of large-scale and continuous food production, in order to ensure that the produced food meets various testing indicators, random sampling is often conducted. Before food testing, it is often necessary to dry and pulverize the food for subsequent testing. Therefore, a large number of pulverizing devices for food safety inspection have emerged in the existing technology.

[0003] Current methods for pulverizing samples involve placing the sample in a bowl and then rotating a shaft driven by a motor. Horizontal blades are mounted on the shaft, allowing the sample to be pulverized inside the bowl. However, this method results in some sample remaining on the blades. For highly viscous samples, the sharp blades make it difficult to repeatedly scrub the sample off the blades during cleaning, causing this residue to contaminate subsequent sample pulverization.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-7 The embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows:

[0027] A residue-free food safety testing sample crusher includes a sample crusher body 1, a motor installed inside the sample crusher body 1, a drive shaft 2 keyed to the output end of the motor, a blade 3 rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the drive shaft 2, a direction adjustment mechanism between the blade 3 and the drive shaft 2, and a wiping mechanism on the surface of the drive shaft 2.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and 2 The motor inside the crusher body 1 can drive the blade 3 to rotate through the drive shaft 2 to crush the food sample inside the bowl. After crushing, the blade 3 is driven to rotate through the direction adjustment mechanism. Then the whole unit is moved under the faucet and the wiping mechanism is manually operated to rinse and wipe the blade 3.

[0029] The direction adjustment mechanism includes a rotating shaft 4, a connecting shaft 5, and an end cap 6. One end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixed to the surface of the blade 3, and the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the drive shaft 2, with one end of the rotating shaft 4 extending into the interior of the drive shaft 2. The end cap 6 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the drive shaft 2 via a locking structure. The bottom end of the connecting shaft 5 is fixed to the center of the end cap 6, and the top end of the connecting shaft 5 is rotatably mounted on the top of the inner wall of the drive shaft 2. The rotating shaft 4 and the connecting shaft 5 are connected via a transmission structure. The locking structure includes a hemispherical locking groove 14, a cavity 15, a spring 16, and a lock. The fixed block 17 and cavity 15 are disposed on the side wall of the end cover 6. The hemispherical locking groove 14 is disposed on the inner wall of the rotating shaft 4. The locking block 17 is slidably disposed inside the cavity 15, and one end of the locking block 17 is engaged inside the hemispherical locking groove 14. The spring 16 is fixed between the locking block 17 and the cavity 15. The transmission structure includes a first bevel gear 18 and a second bevel gear 19. The first bevel gear 18 is keyed to the surface of the rotating shaft 4, and the second bevel gear 19 is keyed to the surface of the connecting shaft 5. The first bevel gear 18 and the second bevel gear 19 mesh with each other.

[0030] Please see Figure 5 and 6After the end cover 6 is rotated, the end cover 6 can drive the locking block 17 to rotate synchronously through the cavity 15. At this time, one end of the locking block 17 will disengage from the hemispherical locking groove 14, and the locking block 17 will move towards the inside of the cavity 15. At the same time, the compressed spring 16 stores energy. As the end cover 6 rotates, the end cover 6 can drive the first bevel gear 18 to rotate 90° through the connecting shaft 5. The first bevel gear 18 can then drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate 90° through the second bevel gear 19, thereby causing the rotating shaft 4 to drive the blade 3 to rotate 90°. At this time, the end cover 6 can drive the locking block 17 to move into the next hemispherical locking groove 14. The spring 16 then releases energy to drive one end of the locking block 17 to move from the inside of the cavity 15 into the hemispherical locking groove 14 to lock the end cover 6.

[0031] It should be noted that since the first bevel gear 18 is located between the two second bevel gears 19, when the first bevel gear 18 rotates, the two second bevel gears 19 rotate in opposite directions. Therefore, the two blades 3 can be driven to rotate in opposite directions through the rotating shaft 4. However, the blades 3 are symmetrical about the center of the drive shaft 2 when crushing the food sample. Therefore, when the blades 3 rotate in opposite directions, they can rotate into a symmetrical structure so that the two blades 3 can be wiped at the same time.

[0032] The wiping mechanism includes a connecting seat 7, a traction seat 8, a movable seat 9, and a sponge 10. The connecting seat 7 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating shaft 4. The traction seat 8 is vertically slidably mounted on the surface of the connecting seat 7 via a limiting structure. Both movable seats 9 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the bottom of the traction seat 8 via pins 11 and torsion springs 12. The sponge 10 is fixedly installed inside the movable seats 9 via a receiving structure. A sealing piece 13 is interference-fitted between the two movable seats 9. The limiting structure includes a sliding groove 20 and a limiting slider 21. The limiting slider 21 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the traction seat 8. The slide groove 20 is provided on the side of the connecting seat 7, the limiting slider 21 is slidably provided inside the slide groove 20, the receiving structure includes the receiving groove 22 and the baffle 23, the receiving groove 22 is opened on the surface of the movable seat 9, the baffle 23 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the receiving groove 22 and is flush with the surface of the movable seat 9, the sponge 10 is slidably provided inside the receiving groove 22, the surface of the sponge 10 is provided with a notch 30 that matches the baffle 23, the notch 30 abuts against the surface of the baffle 23, and the two sides of the sealing piece 13 are respectively interference connected to the inner walls of the two receiving grooves 22.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , 23 and 4, the movable seat 9 can form a 90° angle with the traction seat 8 under the action of the torsion spring 12. At this time, the traction seat 8 can be manually pushed to slide on the surface of the connecting seat 7. The traction seat 8 can drive the limiting slider 21 to slide inside the limiting groove. When the traction seat 8 moves down, it can drive the movable seat 9 to move down synchronously. When the movable seat 9 moves down, it can drive the sponge wiping 10 to move down synchronously through the receiving groove 22 and the stop 23, and gradually contact the two sides of the blade 3. With the continuous pushing of the traction seat 8, the sponge wiping 10 can eventually move down and wipe the surface of the blade 3. By reciprocating pushing and pulling the traction seat 8, the sponge wiping 10 can be driven to move vertically back and forth on the surface of the blade 3, thereby removing the food sample residue on the blade 3. After wiping, the sealing piece 13 is removed. At this time, the sponge wiping 10 can be taken out from the inside of the receiving groove 22 for separate cleaning or replacement of the sponge wiping 10.

[0034] A first fixing mechanism is provided between the movable seat 9 and the traction seat 8. The first fixing mechanism includes a frame 24, a guide groove 25, a guide block 26 and a blocking block 27. The blocking block 27 is fixedly disposed on the surface of the movable seat 9, the guide groove 25 is disposed on the surface of the traction seat 8, the guide block 26 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the frame 24, the guide block 26 is slidably disposed inside the guide groove 25, the frame 24 is slidably disposed on the surface of the drive shaft 2, and the bottom of the frame 24 abuts against the top of the blocking block 27.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , 2 Since the torsion spring 12 keeps the movable seat 9 and the traction seat 8 at a 90° angle, the first fixing mechanism is needed to connect the movable seat 9 and the traction seat 8 when the movable seat 9 is stored to prevent the torsion spring 12 from hindering the storage of the movable seat 9. At this time, the drive shaft 2 can drive the blade 3 to rotate normally. In this embodiment, the connection between the movable seat 9 and the traction seat 8 is achieved by the frame 24. By pushing the frame 24, the frame 24 can be separated from the movable seat 9, thereby realizing the unfolding of the movable seat 9.

[0036] A second fixing mechanism is provided between the movable seat 9 and the connecting seat 7. The second fixing mechanism includes a metal top plate 28 and a magnetic piece 29. The magnetic piece 29 is bonded to the top of the traction seat 8. The metal top plate 28 is fixedly set on the top of the connecting seat 7 and perpendicular to the drive shaft 2. The magnetic piece 29 is attracted to the bottom of the metal top plate 28.

[0037] Please see Figure 3In order to prevent the traction seat 8 from slipping off naturally when the food sample is crushed by the blade 3, a second fixing mechanism is set between the traction seat 8 and the connecting seat 7 in this embodiment. The traction seat 8 is fixed by the magnetic piece 29 adsorbing onto the metal top plate 28 to prevent the traction seat 8 from slipping off naturally. When wiping the blade 3, you only need to push the traction seat 8 gently by hand to separate the magnetic piece 29 from the bottom of the metal top plate 28.
