Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rapid flavor evaluation technology, and in particular to a rapid flavor evaluation device equipped with a biomimetic olfactory sensor. Background Technology

[0002] Flavorings are artificially synthesized concentrated aromatic oils that mimic the scents of fruits and natural spices. They are a type of artificial fragrance and are widely used in the manufacture of food, cosmetics, and cigarettes. The flavoring and fragrance industry is an important raw material industry that supports flavored products. Fragrances are the raw materials for blending flavorings, and flavorings are special products closely related to human social life, often referred to as "industrial MSG." Their products are widely used in various industries such as food, daily chemical, pharmaceutical, tobacco, textile, and leather. During the flavoring production process, evaluation devices are needed to identify and detect the aroma of flavorings.

[0003] Existing evaluation devices have the following shortcomings when in use:

[0004] The traditional evaluation method involves placing the fragrance sample inside the device and then analyzing and identifying it using an electronic nose within the device. However, when a sample is tested and another sample is tested, the odor inside the device is dissipated through natural ventilation, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where traditional evaluation methods involve placing fragrance samples inside a device and then analyzing and identifying them using an electronic nose within the device. However, when replacing one sample with another, the odor inside the device is dissipated through natural ventilation, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, this invention proposes a rapid fragrance flavor evaluation device equipped with a biomimetic olfactory sensor.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rapid flavor evaluation device for fragrances equipped with a biomimetic olfactory sensor includes a cup body and a biomimetic olfactory sensor body for analyzing and detecting fragrance odors. A cover is provided on the top of the cup body for closing the cup body during detection. The inner wall of the cover body has an internal thread, and the outer side of the top of the cup body has an external thread. The cover body and the cup body are threaded together. An L-plate is fixedly provided on one side of the cup body, and a sample placement cup for placing samples is placed inside the cup body.

[0008] The L-plate is equipped with a blowing mechanism, which can accelerate the dissipation of odors from the cup after sample testing.

[0009] In order not to affect the installation of the cover, the L-plate also includes a rotating mechanism, which can rotate the blowing mechanism to the top of the cup when it is necessary to blow air into the cup.

[0010] In one possible design, the blowing mechanism includes a fan for blowing air and a housing, the top of the housing has an air inlet, the air outlet of the fan is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the housing and covers the air inlet, and the bottom of the housing has multiple air blowing holes.

[0011] In one possible design, the rotating mechanism includes a bearing, a fixed rod, and a fixed plate. The outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the top side of the L-plate, the bottom end of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner ring of the bearing, the bottom side of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed rod, and the top of the housing is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the fixed plate.

[0012] In one possible design, the fixed plate has a movable hole, and the inner wall of the movable hole is slidably connected to a plug rod for fixing the direction of the box. The top of the L plate has a first plug hole and a second plug hole, and the first plug hole and the second plug hole are at a 90-degree angle.

[0013] In one possible design, a through hole is provided on one side of the cup body, and a concave plate is fixedly provided on one side of the cup body, the concave plate covering the through hole. An electric push rod for storing or extending the main body of the bionic olfactory sensor is fixedly provided on one side of the concave plate. The telescopic part of the electric push rod passes through the concave plate and is fixedly provided with a mounting block. The main body of the bionic olfactory sensor is fixedly provided at the bottom of the mounting block.

[0014] In one possible design, the bottom inner wall of the cup body has a placement groove to prevent the sample placement cup from moving within the cup body, and the sample placement cup is placed in the placement groove.

[0015] In this application, according to experimental requirements, the fragrance sample to be tested is prepared and poured into a sample placement cup. The sample placement cup containing the fragrance sample is placed in the placement groove at the bottom of the cup body, ensuring that the sample placement cup is placed stably and will not move around inside the cup body. The lid is picked up, and its internal thread is aligned with the external thread on the outer side of the top of the cup body. The lid is slowly rotated to make the lid and the cup body tightly threaded together, sealing the cup body (a sealing ring is fixed on the inner wall of the top of the lid) to prevent odor leakage during the testing process. The electric push rod is activated, and the telescopic part of the electric push rod extends, driving the mounting block and the bionic olfactory sensor body to extend out from the through hole covered by the concave plate, allowing the bionic olfactory sensor body to enter the cup body and be positioned above the sample placement cup. The sample odor is naturally diffused and fills the cup body. The fragrance sample is analyzed and tested through the bionic olfactory sensor body. Personnel can use a pen and paper to record the results and evaluate them manually. After the test is completed, the telescopic part of the electric push rod is controlled to retract, driving the mounting block and the bionic olfactory sensor body to retract, allowing the bionic olfactory sensor to retract. The main body is housed within the concave plate for easy removal of the sample cup. The lid is rotated to remove it from the cup, allowing airflow between the inside and outside. After removing the sample cup, it can be cleaned. The insert rod is then pulled out to release the box's orientation. The fixing plate is rotated, and through the cooperation of the fixing rod and bearing, the box is rotated above the cup, aligning the air vent at the bottom of the box with the inside of the cup. The insert rod is then inserted into the second hole to fix the rotated box's orientation. The fan is then started, allowing outside air to circulate. Air is drawn into the blower through its own inlet. The air generated by the blower is blown into the chamber through the blower's vents and the inlet on the top of the chamber, and then blown out through multiple vents on the bottom of the chamber. This accelerates the dissipation of odors from the cup, allowing the cup to quickly return to an odorless state for the next test. The cup and sample container can be made of transparent glass or transparent plastic, depending on the specific requirements. It should be noted that the electric push rod and blower require an external controller and external power supply for operation.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] In this utility model, the flavor rapid evaluation device equipped with a bionic olfactory sensor achieves flexible rotation of the blowing mechanism through the cooperation of bearings, fixing rods and fixing plates. Furthermore, the direction of the rotating box can be fixed by the cooperation of the insertion rod with different insertion holes. The operation is simple and it is easy to position and fix the blowing mechanism.

[0018] In this invention, a rapid flavor evaluation device for fragrances equipped with a biomimetic olfactory sensor quickly dissipates odors from the cup through a blowing mechanism, avoiding odor residue between different samples, ensuring a clean environment inside the cup during each test, reducing odor interference, and thus ensuring the accuracy of the analysis and detection results of the fragrance samples by the biomimetic olfactory sensor. The accurate detection results provide a reliable basis for manual evaluation and help to obtain more scientific and objective flavor evaluation results.

[0019] In this invention, by setting up a blowing mechanism and a rotating mechanism, after the sample testing is completed, the blowing mechanism (fan and box) can be quickly rotated to the top of the cup. The fan can be started to blow air into the cup, accelerating the dissipation of odor. Compared with traditional devices that rely on natural ventilation to dissipate odor, the device of this application can greatly shorten the odor dissipation time, significantly improve the testing efficiency, and meet the needs of rapid evaluation of fragrance flavor.
