Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food testing technology, specifically a rotating testing device for instant noodles in a bucket. Background Technology
[0002] Instant noodles, also known as fast food noodles, cup noodles, quick-cooking noodles, or instant noodles, are a type of noodle food that can be cooked quickly by soaking in hot water. Instant noodles are made by steaming or frying shredded noodles to fix their shape, typically square or round. Before eating, boiling water is used to dissolve the seasoning and heat the noodles, making them a convenient and quick-to-eat food. The packaging of instant noodles greatly affects their appearance and quality. Various defects or flaws are unavoidable in the production process of cup instant noodles. Therefore, a rotating detection device for cup instant noodles is proposed.
[0003] A relevant reference is Chinese utility model patent CN204150308U, which discloses a mechanism for detecting the sealing performance of instant noodle cups. The mechanism includes a detection device and a cylinder device. The detection device comprises a push plate with a through hole, a rod movably installed in the through hole, a detection head installed at one end of the rod, and a plate installed at the other end of the rod. A telescopic spring is installed on the rod, located between the detection head and the push plate. A distance sensor is installed on the push plate and the plate. The downward displacement of the push plate is fixed; therefore, the pressure applied by the detection head to any lid is the same. If the lid seals the instant noodle cup, the detection head will not move downwards, nor will the rod and plate. If the lid does not seal the instant noodle cup, the detection head will move downwards, as will the rod and plate, reducing the distance between the plate and the push plate. The distance sensor detects the distance between the plate and the push plate to determine whether the instant noodle cup is sealed.
[0004] Based on the above patent search and the findings of existing equipment, the current instant noodle packaging defect detection device relies on manual inspection, which results in high labor intensity, low detection efficiency, poor adaptability, and a tendency to produce false positives and false negatives. This leads to high subsequent inspection costs, hinders the reduction of production costs, weakens the competitiveness of instant noodles, and the existence of these issues, including customer complaints due to product quality problems, all of which affect the use of the device.
