Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of raw milk production and testing technology, specifically a raw milk sampling device. Background Technology
[0002] Dairy processing companies need to conduct quality testing on raw milk. Because raw milk has a certain viscosity and fat tends to rise to the top, there can be differences in quality between the upper and lower layers. Therefore, sampling at different depths is necessary when taking samples from raw milk. Current technology typically involves inserting a straw into the raw milk at different depths for multiple samplings, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.
[0003] The prior art, patent publication number CN217483928U, discloses a raw milk sampling device, including a telescopic mechanism and a sampling cylinder mechanism that cooperates with the telescopic mechanism. The sampling cylinder body is fixed to the side of the sliding tube by a double-ring connecting sleeve. The sliding tube and the telescopic rod slide together, allowing the transmission rod to drive the driven sampling rod to pull upward, thereby sucking the raw milk into the sampling cylinder body. The double-ring connecting sleeve and the sampling cylinder body are equipped with several components that can simultaneously sample raw milk at different depths, which can greatly improve the efficiency of milk testing. At the same time, the position of the double-ring connecting sleeve on the sliding tube can be adjusted, and the sampling depth can be changed by replacing the driven sampling rod with different lengths, making it flexible and improving utilization.
[0004] The aforementioned prior art requires the device body to be inserted into fresh milk during use. Except for the transmission rod, all other components need to come into contact with the fresh milk. Among the components in contact with the fresh milk are bolts. With so many components in contact with the fresh milk, there is a risk of contaminating the fresh milk if the components of the fresh milk sampling device are not cleaned properly. The aforementioned prior art fresh milk sampling device has many components and complex connections. After use, cleaning requires disassembly of the components, and after cleaning and drying, it needs to be reassembled. This makes the cleaning of the aforementioned prior art fresh milk sampling device complicated, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and there is even a problem that it is inconvenient to clean the liquid channel.

[0027] like Figures 1-10As shown, an embodiment of the raw milk sampling device of this utility model includes an outer frame tube 1, an inner branch tube 2, and a sampling cylinder 3. The outer frame tube 1 includes a tube body I 101 and a flange I 102. The flange I 102 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tube body I 101. The outer wall of the flange I 102 is larger than the outer wall of the tube body I 101. A central through hole 103 is provided in the center of the outer frame tube 1, which penetrates the tube body I 101 and the flange I 102. The inner branch tube 2 includes a tube body II 201 and a flange II 202. The flange II 202 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tube body II 201. The inner branch tube 2 is provided with multiple sampling through holes. 203. Multiple sampling through holes 203 are evenly distributed around the axis of the inner branch pipe 2. Each sampling through hole 203 penetrates the pipe body II 201 and the flange II 202. The inner branch pipe 2 is coaxial with the outer support pipe 1 and is inserted into the central through hole 103. In this embodiment, there are three sampling cylinders 3, each with a different length. There are also three sampling through holes 203, and each of the three sampling cylinders 3 is inserted into one of the multiple sampling through holes 203. The outer diameter of the pipe body II 201 is smaller than the inner diameter of the central through hole 103. The outer diameter of the flange II 202 is larger than the inner diameter of the central through hole 103. The inner diameter of the central through hole 103 is such that flange II 202 is supported on the top surface of flange I 102. The sampling cylinder 3 includes an outer cylinder 301, a piston head 302, and a handle post 303. The outer cylinder 301 includes a straight section 3011, an inverted conical section 3012, and an upper flange 3013. The straight section 3011, the inverted conical section 3012, and the upper flange 3013 are connected. The inverted conical section 3012 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the straight section 3011, and the upper flange 3013 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the straight section 3011. A sampling hole is provided at the lower end of the inverted conical section 3012. The piston head 302 slides along the axial direction. The piston head 302 is connected to the straight section 3011. A sealing ring is provided on the outer wall of the piston head 302. The side of the sealing ring away from the piston head 302 is abutted against the inner wall of the straight section 3011. The lower end of the handle column 303 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the piston head 302. The length of the handle column 303 is greater than the length of the straight section 3011. The upper end of the handle column 303 extends out of the upper flange 3013. The outer diameter of the straight section 3011 is smaller than the inner diameter of the sampling through hole 203. The straight section 3011 is inserted into the sampling through hole 203. The outer wall of the upper flange 3013 is larger than the inner diameter of the sampling through hole 203. The upper flange 3013 is supported at the upper end of the sampling through hole 203.
[0028] When this utility model is reused, the outer support tube 1 is inserted into the interface of the raw milk storage tank, and flange I 102 is attached to the interface of the raw milk storage tank to prevent the outer support tube 1 from falling into the raw milk. After the outer support tube 1 is in place, the inner branch tube 2 is inserted into the central through hole 103, and flange II 202 is attached to the top surface of flange I 102 to prevent the inner branch tube 2 from falling into the raw milk. After the inner branch tube 2 is in place, the three sampling cylinders 3 are sequentially inserted into the three sampling through holes 203, and the upper flange 3013 is attached. The sampling cylinder 3 is attached to the upper end of the sampling through-hole 203 to prevent it from falling entirely into the raw milk. The three sampling cylinders 3 are positioned such that the straight section 3011 and the inverted conical section 3012 of the latter three sampling cylinders are inserted into the raw milk. Pulling the handle 303 of each sampling cylinder 3 causes the piston head 302 to slide. The piston head 302 slides within the straight section 3011, drawing the raw milk into it, thus completing the sampling process. The three sampling cylinders 3 have different lengths. This allows for sampling of raw milk at different depths. After sampling, the sampling cylinder 3 is pulled out from the sampling through-hole 203, and then the inner branch pipe 2 and the outer support pipe 1 are removed in sequence. It should be noted that the actual length of the sampling cylinder 3 can be selected according to operational needs. The shortest length of the sampling cylinder 3 must ensure that the inverted conical section 3012 is inserted into the raw milk. Since the capacity of the raw milk storage tank differs significantly from the capacity of the straight section 3011, the drop in the raw milk level caused by sampling does not need to be considered. It is also necessary to note... It is important to note that when pulling the handle column 303, the outer cylinder 301 should be prevented from moving with the handle column 303. Generally, the upper flange 3013 should be pressed down before pulling the handle column 303. In addition, in this utility model, it is necessary to avoid the outer support pipe 1 and the inner branch pipe 2 from contacting the raw milk. Therefore, the pipe body I 101 and the pipe body II 201 should not be too long. Generally, the length of the pipe body I 101 should not be greater than the length of the interface of the raw milk storage tank, and the bottoms of the pipe body I 101 and the pipe body II 201 should be flush after they are connected.
[0029] This invention has a simple structure and is easy to use. It can sample raw milk at different depths in a single use, which improves the efficiency of raw milk sampling. It can be assembled by simple plug-in connection, and each part is easy to disassemble, which facilitates cleaning and disinfection after use, thereby avoiding contamination of raw milk. In addition, except for the sampling cylinder 3, the other parts of this invention do not come into contact with raw milk, which also reduces the risk of contamination of raw milk.
[0030] In this embodiment, the side wall of the tube body II201 is provided with multiple rectangular through holes II204, which correspond one-to-one with multiple sampling through holes 203. The side walls of the multiple rectangular through holes II204 and sampling through holes 203 are connected one-to-one. The side wall of the tube body I101 is provided with multiple rectangular through holes I105, which correspond one-to-one with multiple rectangular through holes II204. The multiple rectangular through holes I105 and rectangular through holes II204 are connected one-to-one. The rectangular through holes II204 and rectangular through holes I105 have the same shape. The outer cylinder 301 is made of transparent glass or transparent polypropylene.
[0031] The rectangular through holes I 105 and II 204 are designed to facilitate observation of the inside of the sampling cylinder 3, such as the movement of the handle column 303 and the piston head, or the sampling liquid level of the raw milk. The outer cylinder 301 is made of transparent glass or transparent polypropylene, also for the purpose of facilitating observation of the inside of the sampling cylinder 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the top surface of flange I 102 is provided with multiple positioning posts 104, which extend out of the top surface of flange I 102. The number of positioning posts 104 is the same as the number of sampling tubes 3. The multiple positioning posts 104 are evenly distributed around the center circumference of flange I 102. The outer wall of flange II 202 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 205, which are evenly distributed around the center circumference of flange II 202. The number of positioning posts 104 and positioning grooves 205 are originally evenly distributed, and the multiple positioning grooves 205 are snapped onto the multiple positioning posts 104 one by one.
[0033] Since rectangular through holes I 105 and II 204 must correspond one-to-one to allow observation of the inside of the sampling tube 3, the connection orientation of the outer support tube 1 and the inner branch tube 2 is required. The positioning column 104 and the positioning groove 205 are set to ensure that the connection orientation of the outer support tube 1 and the inner branch tube 2 meets the usage requirements, thereby ensuring that rectangular through holes I 105 and II 204 correspond one-to-one.
[0034] In this first embodiment, the sampling cylinder 3 includes a handle plate 304, which is fixedly connected to the top of the handle column 303. The handle plate 304 is located above the upper flange 3013, and the outer diameter of the handle plate 304 is larger than the outer diameter of the handle column 303.
[0035] The handle plate 304 is designed to facilitate pulling the handle column 303 by holding the handle plate 304, thereby improving the ease of use of the utility model.
[0036] In this first embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the upper flange 3013 is a regular hexagon.
[0037] The hexagonal upper flange 3013 is easy for staff to hold, thus facilitating the loading and unloading of the sampling cylinder 3.
[0038] like Figure 11 As shown, in Embodiment 2 of this utility model, a support flange 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower end of the upper pipe body I101 based on Embodiment 1. The outer diameter of the support flange 4 is larger than the outer diameter of the flange I102.
[0039] The purpose of setting up the support flange 4 in Embodiment 2 is mainly to address the situation where the inner diameter of the interface of the raw milk storage tank is large, and the flange I102 cannot be directly connected to the interface of the raw milk storage tank. The support flange 4 is then connected to the interface of the raw milk storage tank, thereby preventing the outer support pipe 1 and the inner branch pipe 2 from contacting the raw milk. In actual use, the support flange 4 can also be set as multiple circumferentially distributed support plates.
