Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flour processing technology, and in particular to a flour sampling device. Background Technology

[0002] Flour is a powdery substance made from milled wheat. Based on its protein content, it can be classified into high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, and gluten-free flour. Flour (wheat flour) is a staple food in most parts of northern China, and a wide variety of foods are made from it, each with its own unique characteristics and flavor. After production, if flour is not sold immediately, it is stored in a warehouse. Before being sold again, samples of flour of different strengths are taken for testing.

[0003] A Chinese patent, CN221840774U, discloses a flour sampling device for flour testing. This device involves inserting the bottom of a sampling cylinder into the flour to be sampled. A motor drives a rotating shaft and spiral blades to rotate, simultaneously rotating multiple crushing blades to break up clumps of flour, improving flour collection efficiency and reducing subsequent crushing. The spiral blades move the flour upwards within the sampling cylinder for easier sampling. However, using a motor to drive the auger blades to extract the flour causes physical compression, potentially altering the shape, size, and distribution of flour particles, leading to inaccurate sampling results. Therefore, this paper proposes a flour sampling device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the top of the sampling cylinder. The extraction mechanism is disposed inside the sampling cylinder.

The guide tube connects the material frame and the sampling cylinder. A dispersing component is disposed inside the material frame. An extraction component is disposed at the top of the material frame. A fixed cap is connected to the right side of the material frame. The collection bottle is threadedly connected to the fixed cap.
