Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Wheat grains are one of the staple foods for humans. After being ground into flour, they can be used to make bread, steamed buns, noodles, and other foods. Wheat is the raw material for making flour. Wheat needs to go through multiple processing steps to become flour. In order to ensure that the quality meets the corresponding standards, the flour usually needs to be inspected, which is why flour inspection equipment is used for testing.

[0003] In the flour processing process, the inspection of flour moisture content is crucial for quality testing. A fixed amount of flour is placed in a testing pan, and a spreading device is used to evenly distribute the flour. Heating is then used to evaporate the moisture in the flour, and the difference in mass before and after heating is measured to calculate the flour's moisture content. However, the spreading device is not very effective, resulting in uneven distribution of the flour on the testing pan, which may affect the final test results and lead to inaccurate measurements. Therefore, to address this issue, we propose a flour testing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flour testing device to solve the problem that when using a spreading device to evenly spread flour on the testing plate, the spreading effect is poor, resulting in the flour not being evenly spread on the testing plate, which may affect the final test result and lead to inaccurate measurement values.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A flour inspection device includes a base and a support frame. The support frame is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the base, and a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frame. An inspection instrument is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder. A controller is installed on the upper right side of the base. A weighing device is installed on the inner side of the upper end of the base. A detection plate is placed on the upper end of the weighing device. A separator component is fixedly connected inside the detection plate. A first magnet is fixedly connected to the left side inside the detection plate. Slide rails are provided on both the front and rear sides inside the detection plate. A slider is slidably connected inside the slide rails. A ball bearing is provided on the inner side of one end of the slider. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the slider. A handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting plate. A second magnet is fixedly connected to the inner side of the left end of the connecting plate. A scattering tooth is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the support frame is in the shape of an inverted "L", the hydraulic cylinder, the testing instrument and the controller are electrically connected, and the weighing device is located directly below the testing instrument.

[0008] Preferably, the detection disk is located on the inner side of the upper end of the base, the detection disk is rectangular in shape, and the separating component is grid-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted to each other, there are two slide rails, there are two sliders, and the outer side of the ball is tactilely connected to the slide rail.

[0010] Preferably, the slider is located at the front and rear ends of the connecting plate, the number of evacuation teeth is several, and the lower end face of the evacuation teeth is attached to the upper end of the separator component.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] In this invention, by setting up a separator component, slide rail, slider, ball bearings, connecting plate, handle, and dispersing teeth, a fixed amount of flour is placed in the detection tray. Pushing the handle moves the connecting plate, which in turn moves the slider along the slide rail. The ball bearings make the movement between the slider and the slide rail smoother. The connecting plate moves the dispersing teeth, which disperse the flour, allowing it to enter the separator component. The separator component distributes the flour more evenly, resulting in more accurate values ​​for the moisture content of the flour and reducing the impact of uneven flour distribution on the test results.

A second magnet 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the left end of the connecting plate 13. A scattering tooth 16 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 13.

[0022] The support frame 2 is inverted "L" shape. The hydraulic cylinder 3, the testing instrument 4, and the controller 5 are electrically connected. The weighing device 6 is located directly below the testing instrument 4. The detection disc 7 is located on the inner side of the upper end of the base 1 and is rectangular in shape. The separating component 8 is grid-shaped. The first magnet 9 and the second magnet 15 are magnetically attracted to each other. There are two slide rails 10 and two sliders 11. The outer side of the ball bearing 12 is rolledly connected to the slide rail 10. The sliders 11 are located at the front and rear ends of the connecting plate 13. There are several evacuation teeth 16. The lower end face of the evacuation tooth 16 is attached to the upper end of the partition component 8. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper left side of the base 1. A hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support frame 2. An inspection instrument 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 3. A controller 5 is installed on the upper right side of the base 1. A weighing device 6 is installed on the inner side of the upper end of the base 1. A detection plate 7 is placed on the upper end of the weighing device 6. The partition component 8 is fixedly connected inside the detection plate 7, facilitating the installation of the partition component 8, slide rail 10, slider 11, ball bearing 12, connecting plate 13, and handle. Handle 14 and dispersing teeth 16 are used to place a fixed amount of flour in the detection pan 7. Pushing handle 14 moves connecting plate 13, which in turn moves slider 11 along slide rail 10. Ball bearings 12 make the movement between slider 11 and slide rail 10 smoother. Connecting plate 13 moves dispersing teeth 16, which disperse the flour so that it enters the separator component 8. The separator component 8 distributes the flour more evenly, making the results of flour moisture content detection more accurate and reducing the impact of uneven flour distribution on the test results. A first magnet 9 is fixedly connected to the left side inside the detection pan 7. Slide rails 10 are provided on both the front and rear sides inside the detection pan 7. Slider 11 is slidably connected inside slide rails 10. Ball bearings 12 are provided on the inner side of one end of slider 11. Connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of slider 11.

Dispersing teeth 16 are fixedly connected to the lower end of connecting plate 13.

[0023] Workflow: When using the device, an external power supply is connected. A measured amount of flour is placed in the detection tray 7. The operator pushes the handle 14, which moves the connecting plate 13. The connecting plate 13 then moves the slider 11 along the slide rail 10. The ball bearings 12 ensure smoother movement between the slider 11 and the slide rail 10. The connecting plate 13 moves the dispersing teeth 16, which disperse the flour, allowing it to enter the separating component 8. The separating component 8 ensures a more even distribution of the flour, resulting in more accurate moisture content detection. After the flour is evenly distributed, the connecting plate 13 is moved... The first magnet 9 and the second magnet 15 are magnetically attracted to each other, fixing the connecting plate 13 inside the left side of the detection plate 7. This prevents the connecting plate 13 from moving during the test and affecting the test results. The detection plate 7 is then placed on the weighing device 6, which weighs and records the weight of the flour and the detection plate 7 as a whole. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated by the controller 5, which drives the testing instrument 4 to move downward, heating the flour and evaporating its internal moisture. The weighing device 6 then weighs and records the weight of the flour and the detection plate 7 as a whole again, and measures the mass difference before and after heating to calculate the moisture content of the flour.
