[0021] This utility model provides a non-destructive rapid detection device for the sugar and acidity of fruits, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the fruit non-destructive sugar and acidity rapid detection device includes: a support plate 1, a housing 2 fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 1, and a discharge port 5 on one side of the housing 2; a connecting pipe 3 fixedly installed on the housing 2 for conveying fruit, and a box 4 for storing fruit fixedly installed on the connecting pipe 3; two limiting rods 6 fixedly installed on the top of the housing 2, each of the two limiting rods 6 having a spring 7 slidably mounted on it, and each of the two limiting rods 6 having a slider 8 slidably mounted on it, with the bottom of each of the two sliders 8 in contact with the two springs 7 respectively; a detector body 9 fixedly installed on the two sliders 8 for non-destructive detection of the fruit's sweetness and acidity; a rotating shaft 10 rotatably installed on the housing 2, with a cross plate 11 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 10; and a drive mechanism assembled on the support plate 1 for rotating the cross plate 11.

[0022] In this embodiment, the instrument body 9 used for non-destructive testing of fruit sweetness and acidity is model H100F, specifically named a fruit internal quality non-destructive testing instrument. This is existing mature technology, and its principle will not be described here. When using this device, according to… Figure 1 A large quantity of fruits to be tested are poured into the box 4 for storage. Under the tilting action of the connecting pipe 3, the fruits at the bottom can be transferred to the right corner of the cross plate 11. Then, the drive mechanism is activated. Under the setting of the device, the drive mechanism will drive the rotating shaft 10 and the cross plate 11 to rotate at regular intervals, with each rotation angle being 90°. This moves the fruits on the right side of the cross plate 11 to the top position of the shell 2. At this time, the bottom corner of the cross plate 11 will move to the right side, allowing the connecting pipe 3 to send the next fruit to be tested into the right side of the cross plate 11. Then, the inspector gently presses down on the detector body 9, so that the detection point of the detector body 9 can contact the fruit at the top position of the shell 2. The pressing down of the detector body 9 will cause the two sliders 8 to slide on the two limit rods 6 and... Two springs 7 are compressed, and then the inspector presses the test button, enabling the detector body 9 to perform non-destructive sweetness and acidity testing of the fruit. After the test is completed, the detector body 9 is released, allowing the two springs 7 to push the two sliders 8 through elasticity, moving the detector body 9 back to its original height. Then, the drive mechanism will run again when the next working time arrives, allowing the cross plate 11 to move the next fruit to be tested to the top position of the housing 2. The tested fruit will move to the left side of the housing 2 and then be discharged from the discharge port 5. This process is repeated continuously. In this way, when using this device to perform non-destructive sweetness and acidity testing of fruit, there is no need to frequently manually handle the fruit, which can effectively reduce the workload of the inspector and has a good effect.
