Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probiotic storage technology, specifically to a sealed container for probiotic storage. Background Technology

[0002] Probiotic products are increasingly favored by consumers due to their health benefits. To ensure the quality and effectiveness of probiotic products, storage conditions are crucial. As the primary storage container for probiotic products, sealed probiotic storage containers not only need excellent sealing performance to prevent external contamination and oxygen ingress, but also need to maintain a sterile environment during sampling to avoid damage or contamination of the probiotics during the sampling process.

[0003] However, in existing technologies, the sealed probiotic storage containers require opening the lid for sampling. This disrupts the sealed environment inside the container, increasing the risk of external contamination of the probiotics. Furthermore, the need to open the lid and expose the probiotics to the external environment during sampling increases the likelihood of contamination, affecting the accuracy of the sampling results. Traditional sampling methods typically only allow sampling of probiotics from a specific location within the container, making it difficult to ensure the uniformity and representativeness of the sampling, accurately reflecting the overall state of the probiotics inside the container, and ensuring the stability of the sampling bottle during sampling. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a probiotic storage sealed container is provided. This technical solution solves the problems that the above-mentioned probiotic storage sealed container requires opening the lid when sampling, which destroys the sealed environment inside the container, increases the risk of external contamination of probiotics, increases the possibility of probiotic contamination, can only sample probiotics in a certain location inside the container, makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity and representativeness of the sampling, and makes it difficult to ensure the stability of the sampling bottle during sampling.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A probiotic storage sealed container includes a container body. A sampling mechanism is installed inside the container body. The sampling mechanism includes an outer tube, an inner tube, and a mounting frame. The outer tube is fixedly installed inside the container body, and the inner tube is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer tube. At least three sets of first sampling ports are provided on the outer side of the outer tube, with multiple sets of first sampling ports staggered. Second sampling ports adapted to the first sampling ports are provided on the outer side of the inner tube, with multiple sets of second sampling ports arranged in an array. The mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the container body, and a positioning mechanism is installed on the inner side of the mounting frame. The positioning mechanism includes a fixed clamping plate and a movable clamping plate. The fixed clamping plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame, and the movable clamping plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame.

[0007] Preferably, the sampling mechanism further includes a right-angle bend, a sampling tube, and a corrugated tube. The right-angle bend is fixedly connected to the inner side of the tank body. The lower end of the inner tube is rotatably connected to the inner side of one end of the right-angle bend. The sampling tube is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting frame. The other end of the right-angle bend extends to the outer side of the tank body and is fixedly connected to the sampling tube. The sampling tube extends to the lower end of the mounting frame and is fixedly connected to the corrugated tube.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the corrugated pipe, and an electric push rod is fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting frame, with the output end of the electric push rod fixedly connected to the fixing ring.

[0009] Preferably, the sampling mechanism further includes a fixing frame and a U-shaped rod. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting frame, and a slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixing frame. One end of the U-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the slider, and the other end of the U-shaped rod is fixedly connected to a plug, which is slidably connected to the inside of the sampling tube.

[0010] Preferably, the sampling mechanism further includes a drive motor, a guide rod, and a lifting screw. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting frame, the guide rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing frame, the slider is slidably connected to the guide rod, the lifting screw is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing frame, the lifting screw is threadedly connected to the slider, and the lower end of the lifting screw and the output end of the drive motor are both fixedly connected to pulleys. The two sets of pulleys are connected by belt drive.

[0011] Preferably, the sampling mechanism further includes a servo motor, which is fixedly installed at the upper end of the tank. The output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear, and the inner tube extends to the upper end of the tank and is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear that meshes with the first bevel gear.

[0012] Preferably, the positioning mechanism further includes two sets of slide rods, both sets of slide rods are slidably connected inside the mounting frame, and a return spring is sleeved on the outer side of the slide rod. The two ends of the return spring are fixedly connected to the movable clamp and the mounting frame, respectively.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By setting up a sampling mechanism, the inner tube rotates within the outer tube, thereby aligning the first and second sampling ports. This connects the can body with the inner tube, enabling sampling of the probiotic emulsion inside the can under sealed conditions. This avoids the risk of external contamination of the emulsion inside the can during sampling, ensuring the purity and quality of the probiotic sample. The staggered distribution of the first sampling port on the outer tube and the array distribution of the second sampling port on the inner tube allow the inner tube to sequentially align with the first sampling ports at different heights during rotation, thus achieving uniform sampling at different heights within the can. This helps to more accurately understand the distribution and state of probiotics within the can.

[0014] By incorporating a positioning mechanism, the cooperation between the fixed and movable clamps, and the automatic pushing action of the return spring, the sampling bottle can be stably held within the mounting frame. This not only ensures stability during the sampling process but also facilitates the accurate flow of probiotic samples into the sampling bottle. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-8 As shown, a probiotic storage sealed container includes a container body 1. A sampling mechanism 2 is installed inside the container body 1. The sampling mechanism 2 includes an outer tube 201, an inner tube 203, and a mounting frame 209. The outer tube 201 is fixedly installed inside the container body 1, and the inner tube 203 is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer tube 201. At least three sets of first sampling ports 202 are provided on the outer side of the outer tube 201, and the multiple sets of first sampling ports 202 are staggered. A second sampling port 204 adapted to the first sampling ports 202 is provided on the outer side of the inner tube 203, and the multiple sets of second sampling ports 204 are arrayed. The mounting frame 209 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the container body 1, and a positioning mechanism 3 is installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 209. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a fixed clamping plate 301 and a movable clamping plate 302. The fixed clamping plate 301 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 209, and the movable clamping plate 302 is slidably connected to the inner side of the mounting frame 209.

[0030] In this design, the inner tube 203 can rotate inside the outer tube 201 while the upper end of the inner tube 203 is sealed. The first sampling ports 202 are staggered at the upper, middle, and lower positions of the outer tube 201 and are not on the same vertical line (i.e., the Z-axis). The second sampling ports 204 are equidistantly distributed at the upper, middle, and lower positions of the inner tube 203 and are all on the same vertical line (i.e., the Z-axis) outside. When the inner tube 203 rotates, causing one set of second sampling ports 204 to coincide with one set of first sampling ports 202, one set of second sampling ports 204 can communicate with one set of first sampling ports 202. The probiotic emulsion inside the tank 1 can flow into the inner tube 203 for sampling. This not only allows sampling in a sealed state, avoiding contamination of the emulsion inside the tank 1 from the outside during sampling, but also allows sampling at different heights inside the tank 1, which is beneficial for uniform sampling.

[0031] Furthermore, the sampling bottle can be placed inside the mounting frame 209. The sampling bottle can be fixedly clamped to one side of the fixed clamp 301 by moving the clamp 302, thereby positioning the sampling bottle, which is conducive to stable sampling and facilitates the accurate flow of probiotic samples into the sampling bottle.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please refer to Figures 2-8As shown, the sampling mechanism 2 also includes a right-angle bend 205, a sampling tube 210, and a corrugated tube 220. The right-angle bend 205 is fixedly connected to the inside of the tank 1. The lower end of the inner tube 203 is rotatably connected to the inside of one end of the right-angle bend 205. The sampling tube 210 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting frame 209. The other end of the right-angle bend 205 extends to the outside of the tank 1 and is fixedly connected to the sampling tube 210. The sampling tube 210 extends to the lower end of the mounting frame 209 and is fixedly connected to the corrugated tube 220.

[0034] A retaining ring 221 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the corrugated pipe 220, and an electric push rod 219 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting frame 209. The output end of the electric push rod 219 is fixedly connected to the retaining ring 221.

[0035] The sampling mechanism 2 also includes a fixed frame 211 and a U-shaped rod 217. The fixed frame 211 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mounting frame 209. A slider 216 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed frame 211. One end of the U-shaped rod 217 is fixedly connected to the slider 216, and the other end of the U-shaped rod 217 is fixedly connected to a plug 213. The plug 213 is slidably connected to the inside of the sampling tube 210.

[0036] The sampling mechanism 2 also includes a drive motor 212, a guide rod 214, and a lifting screw 215. The drive motor 212 is fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting frame 209. The guide rod 214 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixing frame 211. The slider 216 is slidably connected to the guide rod 214. The lifting screw 215 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixing frame 211. The lifting screw 215 is threadedly connected to the slider 216. The lower end of the lifting screw 215 and the output end of the drive motor 212 are both fixedly connected to pulleys 218. The two sets of pulleys 218 are connected by belt drive.

[0037] The sampling mechanism 2 also includes a servo motor 206, which is fixedly installed on the upper end of the tank body 1. The output end of the servo motor 206 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 207, and the inner tube 203 extends to the upper end of the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 208 that meshes with the first bevel gear 207.

[0038] In this scheme, both the servo motor 206 and the drive motor 212 are electrically connected to an external power source. The servo motor 206 can drive the second bevel gear 208 through the first bevel gear 207 to make the inner tube 203 rotate. The drive motor 212 can drive the lifting screw 215 to rotate through the belt and pulley 218, thereby causing the slider 216 to drive the U-shaped rod 217 to move up and down. This can then drive the plug 213 to move upward to open the connection between the right-angle bend 205 and the sampling tube 210, or move downward to seal the connection between the right-angle bend 205 and the sampling tube 210. The probiotic emulsion sample can flow into the inside of the right-angle bend 205 through the inner tube 203, and then into the sampling bottle through the sampling tube 210 and the corrugated tube 220.

[0039] Furthermore, the electric push rod 219 can drive the fixing ring 221 to be fitted onto the outer side of the upper end of the sampling bottle, thereby accurately flowing into the inner side of the sampling bottle.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] Please refer to Figure 8 As shown, the positioning mechanism 3 also includes two sets of slide rods 303. Both sets of slide rods 303 are slidably connected inside the mounting frame 209. A return spring 304 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 303. The two ends of the return spring 304 are fixedly connected to the movable clamping plate 302 and the mounting frame 209, respectively.

[0042] In this design, sliding the slide bar 303 to the outside of the mounting frame 209 allows the movable clamping plate 302 to move away from the fixed clamping plate 301, thus enabling the placement of the sampling bottle. The return spring 304 can automatically push the movable clamping plate 302 to clamp and fix the sampling bottle.

[0043] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, during sampling, slide the slide bar 303 to the outside of the mounting frame 209, so that the moving clamp 302 moves away from the fixed clamp 301, and place the sampling bottle on one side of the fixed clamp 301. The return spring 304 then automatically pushes the moving clamp 302 to clamp and fix the sampling bottle. Simultaneously, the electric push rod 219 is activated, causing the fixing ring 221 to be fitted onto the upper outer side of the sampling bottle. Then, the servo motor 206 is activated, and the first bevel gear 207 drives the second bevel gear 208 to rotate the inner tube 203. Depending on the required sampling position, one set of second sampling ports 204 and one set of first sampling ports 204 are aligned. 02 overlaps, thus connecting one set of second sampling ports 204 with one set of first sampling ports 202. At the same time, the drive motor 212 is started, and the lifting screw 215 is rotated through the belt and pulley 218, which causes the slider 216 to move the U-shaped rod 217 up and down, thereby moving the plug 213 upward to open the connection between the right-angle bend 205 and the sampling tube 210. At this time, the probiotic emulsion inside the tank 1 flows into the inner tube 203 and into the sampling bottle through the right-angle bend 205, the sampling tube 210, and the corrugated pipe 220, completing the sampling operation. Sampling operations can be completed at different locations inside the tank 1 in a sealed environment.

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 principles of this utility model.
