Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data collection device technology, specifically a data collection device for food inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Food inspection can promptly identify and resolve food safety issues, prevent substandard food from entering the market, and protect consumers' health and safety. At the same time, food inspection is also an important means of promoting technological progress in the food industry and improving product quality.

[0003] Food inspection typically includes steps such as sample collection, sample processing, analysis and testing, and result evaluation. During the sample collection process, when sampling powdered foods, general collection devices can only collect powdered foods from the top of the food can, making it difficult to collect foods from the bottom of the can, which brings inconvenience to the food collection work. Therefore, a collection device for food inspection is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sampling device for food inspection to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a food inspection sampling device, comprising a cylinder, two blind grooves symmetrically formed on the lower surface of the cylinder, a connecting rod hinged to the top of the inner wall of the blind groove, a semi-circular cap fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod, wedge blocks fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two connecting rods, a fixing block fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the cylinder, an electric cylinder mounted on the lower surface of the fixing block, a semi-circular seat fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod of the electric cylinder, two inclined rods symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the cylinder, a sleeve fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inclined rod, a sleeve rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve, a spring fixedly connected between the top of the sleeve rod and the inner top wall of the sleeve, and a round head fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sleeve rod.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: the connecting rod includes a sliding sleeve, the top of which is hinged to the top of the inner wall of the blind groove, and a sliding rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: the front surface of the slide rod is uniformly provided with pin holes, and the bottom of the front surface of the slide sleeve is threaded with a pin rod.

[0008] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a knob is fixedly connected to the front end of the pin.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: a button is installed on the front surface of the cylinder, and the electrical output terminal of the button is electrically connected to the electrical input terminal of the electric cylinder through a wire.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: a second spring is fixedly connected between the opposite sides of the two sliding sleeves.

[0011] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution: a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side wall of the cylinder.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention keeps the two semi-circular caps closed during operation. When the semi-circular caps are inserted into the bottom of a powdered food container, the powdered food from the upper layer does not enter the caps. The piston rod of the electric cylinder extends, causing the semi-circular seat to move downwards. The semi-circular seat presses against two wedge-shaped blocks, causing them to move away from each other. The wedge-shaped blocks then separate the two semi-circular caps. The fluid nature of the powdered food fills the space between the two semi-circular caps. During the movement of the semi-circular caps, the inclined rod presses against the sleeve rod, compressing the spring. This causes the piston rod of the electric cylinder to retract, and the semi-circular seat stops pressing against the wedge-shaped blocks. The spring then extends, pushing the two semi-circular caps together, collecting the powdered food into the round cap formed by the closed semi-circular caps. This method facilitates the collection of powdered food from the bottom of the food container, making it easy to operate and providing convenience for sample collection during food inspection.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a food inspection sampling device, including a cylinder 1, two blind grooves 2 symmetrically opened on the lower surface of the cylinder 1, a connecting rod 3 hinged to the top of the inner wall of the blind groove 2, a semi-circular cap 4 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 3, a wedge block 5 fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two connecting rods 3, a fixing block 6 fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the cylinder 1, an electric cylinder 7 installed on the lower surface of the fixing block 6, a semi-circular seat 8 fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod of the electric cylinder 7, two inclined rods 9 symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the cylinder 1, a sleeve 10 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the inclined rod 9, a sleeve rod 11 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 10, a spring 12 fixedly connected between the top of the sleeve rod 11 and the inner top wall of the sleeve 10, and a round head 13 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sleeve rod 11.

[0025] Under the above settings, the two semi-circular caps 4 are kept closed. The semi-circular caps 4 are inserted into the bottom of the powdered food can. During this process, because the two semi-circular caps 4 are kept closed, the powdered food on the upper layer will not enter the semi-circular caps 4. The piston rod of the electric cylinder 7 extends and drives the semi-circular seat 8 to move downward. The semi-circular seat 8 squeezes the two wedge blocks 5, causing the two wedge blocks 5 to move away from each other. The wedge blocks 5 drive the two semi-circular caps 4 to separate. The powdered food is fluid and will fill the space between the two semi-circular caps 4. During the movement of the semi-circular caps 4, the inclined rod 9 will squeeze the sleeve rod 11, causing the spring 12 to be compressed. The piston rod of the electric cylinder 7 is controlled to retract, and the semi-circular seat 8 will no longer squeeze the wedge blocks 5. The spring 12 extends and pushes the two semi-circular caps 4 to close, taking the powdered food into the round cap formed after the two semi-circular caps 4 are closed, thus realizing the collection of powdered food at the bottom of the food can.

[0026] In this embodiment, specifically: the connecting rod 3 includes a sliding sleeve 31, the top of which is hinged to the top of the inner wall of the blind groove 2, and a sliding rod 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 31; this facilitates the sliding rod 32 to slide on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 31.

[0027] In this embodiment, specifically: pin holes 33 are evenly provided on the front surface of the slide rod 32, and a pin rod 34 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the front surface of the slide sleeve 31; by moving the slide rod 32 and tightening the pin rod 34 so that the pin rod 34 is inserted into the pin hole 33, the length of the connecting rod 3 can be adjusted to suit food cans of different heights.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically: a knob 35 is fixedly connected to the front end of the pin 34; this facilitates turning the pin 34.

[0029] In this embodiment, specifically: a button 14 is installed on the front surface of the cylinder 1, and the electrical output terminal of the button 14 is electrically connected to the electrical input terminal of the electric cylinder 7 through a wire; this facilitates the control of the working state of the electric cylinder 7.

[0030] In this embodiment, specifically: a second spring 15 is fixedly connected between the opposite sides of the two sliding sleeves 31; the retraction force of the second spring 15 can assist in the closing of the two semi-circular caps 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, specifically: a handle 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side wall of the cylinder 1; to facilitate the movement of the collection device.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The two semi-circular caps 4 are kept closed. When the semi-circular caps 4 are inserted into the bottom of the powdered food container, the powdered food on the upper layer will not enter the semi-circular caps 4 because the two semi-circular caps 4 remain closed. The piston rod of the electric cylinder 7 extends, causing the semi-circular seat 8 to move downwards. The semi-circular seat 8 presses against the two wedge-shaped blocks 5, causing them to move away from each other. The wedge-shaped blocks 5 then cause the two semi-circular caps 4 to separate. The powdered food, being fluid, will fill the space between the two semi-circular caps 4. During the movement of the semi-circular caps 4, the inclined rod 9 presses against the sleeve rod 11, compressing the spring 12. This causes the piston rod of the electric cylinder 7 to retract, and the semi-circular seat 8 stops pressing against the wedge-shaped blocks 5. The spring 12 extends, pushing the two semi-circular caps 4 to close, thus collecting the powdered food from the bottom of the food container. This method is convenient and facilitates sample collection during food inspection.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
