TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to food detection field, concretely is a kind of quick detector for food containing gluten. BACKGROUND
[0002] Food detection refers to the process of analyzing and measuring various aspects of food according to relevant standards and specifications to determine whether the food meets safety, quality and other requirements. Through detection, harmful microorganisms, heavy metals, pesticide residues, veterinary drug residues, illegal additives and other harmful substances in food can be detected in a timely manner to prevent non-compliant food from entering the market, thereby protecting the health of consumers and reducing the risk of foodborne diseases. For gluten-containing food detection, a detector is usually used. In the raw material procurement link, it can quickly detect raw materials such as wheat, barley and rye that may contain gluten to ensure the quality of raw materials. During the production process, real-time detection of semi-finished and finished products is carried out to monitor product quality, prevent gluten cross-contamination and ensure the quality of gluten-free products. Gluten is a complex of proteins mainly found in wheat, barley, rye and other cereals. During the detection process, gluten proteins are used as antigens. First, specific antibodies against gluten proteins are immobilized on the surface of a solid support (such as a microplate, test strip, etc.) in the detector. These antibodies are prepared through bioengineering technology and can specifically recognize and bind to specific epitopes of gluten proteins. When a food sample containing gluten is processed and added to the detection system, the gluten proteins (antigens) in the sample will specifically bind to the antibodies immobilized on the solid support. This binding has high selectivity and affinity, and only gluten proteins can bind to the corresponding antibodies, while other substances do not interfere with this process.
[0003] Traditional detectors have sample processing and reaction areas set independently. Workers need to use multiple pipetting tools and containers to transfer the processed sample from the sample processing area to the reaction area. If the range adjustment of the pipette is not accurate, or there are air bubbles during the process of sucking and releasing the sample solution, the actual amount of sample participating in the reaction will not match the expected value, which will interfere with the accuracy of the detection results. Moreover, the sample needs to be exposed to the external environment for transfer. During this process, microorganisms, dust particles and other pollutants in the air can easily contaminate the sample, affecting the reliability of the detection. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0027] The outer surface of the rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected with a fixing piece 12, the outer side of the fixing piece 12 is hingedly connected with a connecting rod mechanism 13, the number of the connecting rod mechanism 13 and the number of the grinding ball 6 are both set to be several, and the several grinding balls 6 correspond to the several connecting rod mechanisms 13 respectively, the connecting rod mechanism 13 further comprises an inclined arm 132 and a connecting piece 133, one end of the inclined arm 132 is hingedly connected with the fixing piece 12, the other end is hingedly connected with the connecting piece 133, the connecting piece 133 is fixedly connected with the connecting shaft 131, the connecting shaft 131 of the connecting rod mechanism 13 is rotationally connected with the grinding ball 6, the outer surface of the sample processing cabin 3 is provided with a liquid inlet pipe 14 for adding a detection reagent into the reaction area 304, the bottom end of the sample processing cabin is communicated with a spiral-shaped channel 15, and the outlet of the channel 15 is communicated with the inlet of the detection instrument body 2.
[0028] In use, first drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate by an external power source, which can be a motor, the rotating rod 8 drives the rotating wheel 16 to rotate when rotating, the rotating wheel 16 drives the several grinding wheels 17 to rotate through friction, the grinding wheels 17 drive the blades to rotate, then put the food sample to be detected into the feeding port 301 of the sample processing cabin 3, the food sample will fall to the guide plate 18, the rotating rod 8 can also drive the guide plate 18 to rotate, the sample will be thrown to the crushing area 302 along the inclined surface of the guide plate 18, and the sample will fall to the blades, with the rotation of the blades, the several blades can crush the food close to them, it should be noted that, since the rotating wheel 16 is in close contact with the grinding wheel 17, the linear speed of the contact point of the rotating wheel 16 and the grinding wheel 17 is the same, because the linear speed is equal to the angular speed multiplied by the radius, the diameter of the rotating wheel 16 is large, that is, the radius is large, the diameter of the grinding wheel 17 is small, the radius is small, in the case that their linear speeds are equal, the angular speed of the grinding wheel 17 with small radius will be large, so the grinding wheel 17 rotates a larger angle in the same time, thus the grinding wheel 17 rotates faster, so that the blades can rotate faster, which is beneficial to crush the sample, the crushed sample falls to the grinding area 303 from the crushing area 302, the rotating rod 8 can also drive the fixed part 12 to rotate when rotating, the fixed part 12 drives the several connecting rod mechanisms 13 to rotate in a circular motion, the connecting rod mechanisms 13 drive the grinding balls 6 to rotate along the arc surface of the grinding area 303 and roll, realizing the grinding of the sample and grinding the sample into fine particles, it should be noted that, before feeding, the rotating rod 8 will drive the bracket 9 to rotate through friction, when one of the inner side walls of the arc-shaped groove 20 in the bracket 9 rotates to the position where it contacts the positioning block 194, the positioning block 194 abuts against the bracket 9 to prevent the bracket 9 from rotating again, at this time, the torsional spring 193 begins to deform, since the rotating rod 8 exerts a rotational force on the bracket 9 and overcomes the elastic force of the torsional spring 193, the torsional spring 193 cannot drive the bracket 9 to reset, so that the notch 11 of the baffle 10 is always misaligned with the filter groove 7 in the process of rotation of the rotating rod 8, the baffle 10 can block the filter groove 7, realizing the purpose that the baffle 10 can close the filter groove 7 in the process of rotation of the rotating rod 8.
[0029] Subsequently, when the rotating rod 8 rotates, the gravity of the grinding ball 6 should be greater than the centrifugal force generated when it rotates, so that the grinding ball 6 can perform grinding work at the arc surface at the bottom of the grinding area 303. When the rotating speed of the rotating rod 8 is increased, the centrifugal force generated by the grinding ball 6 is greater than its gravity, so that the grinding ball 6 moves along the inclined surface of the grinding area 303 and continues to grind in the process of moving, thereby improving the grinding range of the grinding ball 6. When the grinding work is completed, the rotation of the rotating rod 8 is stopped. At this time, the rotating rod 8 no longer exerts a rotating force on the support 9, and the torsional spring 193 overcomes the friction between the rotating rod 8 and the support 9 and drives the support 9 to reset, so that the plurality of notches 11 correspond to the positions of the plurality of filter grooves 7 respectively, and the notches 11 and the filter grooves 7 are in a communication state, so that the fine sample particles after grinding fall into the reaction area 304. At this time, the detection reagent is added into the reaction area 304 through the liquid inlet pipe 14. It should be noted that the detection reagent usually contains specific antibodies, for example, monoclonal antibodies or polyclonal antibodies specific to certain antigenic determinants in gluten. These antibodies can specifically bind to the corresponding antigenic sites in gluten. If enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is used, a secondary antibody labeled with an enzyme can also be added. The secondary antibody can bind to the primary antibody combined with gluten, and then the enzyme reacts with the substrate to produce a color change. The color depth is detected to quantitatively analyze the content of gluten. If it is a nucleic acid detection method such as polymerase chain reaction, the detection reagent mainly includes primers, DNA polymerase, dNTP, which is used to amplify the gluten-related gene fragment, and the presence or absence of gluten is determined by detecting the amplification product; due to the tapered shape of the sample processing cabin 3 at the bottom end, the detection reagent and the sample particles naturally fall into the channel 15 under the action of gravity, and their gravity provides the initial power for their movement. The spiral channel 15 makes the detection reagent and the sample particles move along the spiral path during the downward movement. This spiral path increases the length and complexity of their motion trajectory, so that they constantly change direction and position in the channel 15, increasing the opportunity for mutual contact and mixing. Just like in a spiral slide, objects will constantly rotate and change direction when sliding down. The same is true for the detection reagent and the sample particles in the spiral channel 15. They achieve more complete mixing in the process of constant turning and advancing, and finally fall into the inlet of the detector body 2. Then the sample is detected by the detector body 2.
[0030] Finally, in summary, the sample processing cabin 3 and the channel 15 are integrally arranged. The sample is transported from the crushing, grinding, mixing to the detector body 2 without the aid of multiple pipetting tools and containers. The processed sample is transferred from the sample processing area to the reaction area 304, avoiding affecting the accuracy of the detection result. Moreover, the sample is not exposed to the external environment for transfer, preventing microorganisms and dust particles in the air from mixing into the sample, thereby avoiding contamination of the sample and affecting the reliability of the detection.
[0031] While the embodiments of the present application have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the application, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
