[0028] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0029] A filtration device for food inspection and testing, comprising:

[0030] The protective box 1 has a feed hopper 2 fixedly installed on the top of the protective box 1. Both sides of the protective box 1 have operation ports 5. Both sides of the interior of the protective box 1 have symmetrically distributed guide rails 16 fixedly installed. Both sides of the interior of the protective box 1 have fixed plates 13. Both the front and back of the fixed plates 13 have sliders 15 fixedly installed, and the sliders 15 are slidably connected to the guide rails 16.

[0031] Limiting plates 6 are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the two fixed plates 13, and the limiting plates 6 are adapted to the operating port 5. A placement groove 18 is provided on the fixed plate 13, and an annular positioning frame 19 is snapped into the fixed plate 13 through the placement groove 18. A bowl-shaped filter screen 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the annular positioning frame 19.

[0032] A guide tube 11 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the feed hopper 2. A collecting hopper 12 is fixedly installed inside the protective box 1 below the bowl-shaped filter screen 14. A pick-up and drop-off window 4 is opened at the bottom of the front of the protective box 1. An adjustment mechanism is provided at the top inside the protective box 1.

[0033] The limiting plate 6 has an inner cavity 23. The top of the limiting plate 6 has a fixing groove 21. A positioning block 25 is slidably inserted into the fixing groove 21. A spring 24 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the positioning block 25 and the bottom of the inner wall of the fixing groove 21. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably installed inside the inner cavity 23. One end of the rotating shaft 17 passes through the limiting plate 6 and extends to the outer surface of the limiting plate 6. A knob 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 17. A pull rope 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 17. One end of the pull rope 22 passes through the protective box 1 and extends into the inside of the fixing groove 21 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning block 25. A positioning groove 20 is opened at the top of the inner wall of the operating port 5. The positioning groove 20 is engaged with the positioning block 25.

[0034] In one embodiment, handles 3 are rotatably installed on both sides of the top of the protective box 1, which makes it convenient for staff to adjust the position of the handles 3 to move the protective box 1 according to their needs in different scenarios, thereby improving the convenience and comfort of moving.

[0035] In one preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a worm gear 8, which is rotatably mounted inside the protective box 1 behind the conduit 11. A worm wheel 10 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the upper end of the conduit 11, and the worm wheel 10 meshes with the worm gear 8. One end of the worm gear 8 passes through the protective box 1 and extends to the outside of the protective box 1. A handwheel 9 is fixedly mounted on one end of the worm gear 8 to facilitate adjustment and locking of the position of the conduit 11.

[0036] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the placement groove 18 is stepped, and the placement groove 18 is adapted to the annular positioning frame 19, which facilitates accurate positioning and stable installation of the annular positioning frame 19.

[0037] In one preferred embodiment, a transparent glass panel is fixedly installed on the front of the protective box 1, allowing staff to observe the operating status of the equipment inside the protective box 1 and the sample filtration process at any time.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: All parts not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. In use, the collection container is placed inside the protective box 1 through the pick-and-place window 4, positioned below the collecting funnel 12. Then, the food inspection sample is poured into the feeding funnel 2. Guided by the feeding funnel 2, the sample flows into the conduit 11, and then into the corresponding bowl-shaped filter screen 14. The sample is filtered by the bowl-shaped filter screen 14, and the filtered sample flows into the collecting funnel 12, where it is guided into the pre-prepared collection container. As filter residue accumulates in the bowl-shaped filter screen 14, its flow performance gradually decreases. At this point, the operator manually rotates the handwheel 9. The rotation of the handwheel 9 drives the worm gear 8 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the worm gear 8 and the worm wheel 10, the worm wheel 10 drives the conduit 11 to rotate. The rotation of the conduit 11 adjusts its bottom position, causing it to rotate above another bowl-shaped filter screen 14. The sample then enters this bowl-shaped filter screen 14 for further filtration. For a clogged bowl-shaped filter 14, the operator can pull the corresponding limiting plate 6 outward using knob 7. The movement of the limiting plate 6 moves the fixing plate 13, which in turn moves the slider 15 along the guide rail 16. The cooperation between the slider 15 and the guide rail 16 ensures the stability of the fixing plate 13 as it moves outward from inside the protective box 1. The outward movement of the fixing plate 13 moves the bowl-shaped filter 14 along with the annular positioning frame 19, ultimately removing the clogged bowl-shaped filter 14 from inside the protective box 1. Afterward, the operator can directly remove the annular positioning frame 19 and the bowl-shaped filter 14 from the fixing plate 13 for cleaning. Once cleaning is complete, they are returned to their original positions inside the protective box 1. In this way, the two bowl-shaped filters 14 can be used alternately, ensuring that while cleaning one bowl-shaped filter 14, the other can still filter the sample, enabling continuous operation of the device and improving its efficiency. In addition, the testing equipment of the device is installed inside the protective case 1, with handle 3 for easy carrying and to ensure safety during daily storage, reducing the risk of external impact.

[0039] When using the cup-shaped filter 14, to remove it from the protective box 1 for cleaning, the knob 7 must first be operated. Turning the knob 7 rotates the shaft 17, which in turn winds the pull rope 22, pulling the positioning block 25 downwards and simultaneously compressing the spring 24. As the positioning block 25 moves downwards, it disengages from the positioning groove 20. Once the limiting plate 6 is no longer constrained by the positioning block 25 and the positioning groove 20, the operator can easily pull the limiting plate 6, moving the fixing plate 13 and its related components outwards. The engagement between the positioning block 25 and the positioning groove 20 effectively ensures that the limiting plate 6 is securely closed on the operating opening 5, thereby improving the stability of the cup-shaped filter 14 when used inside the protective box 1. Furthermore, the simple operating structure of the positioning block 25 allows operators to quickly perform related operations.

[0040] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
