Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sensors, and particularly relates to a sensor fixing device for a curved bin. Background Art
[0002] The curved bin is the core facility for liquor koji fermentation in the sauce-flavored liquor koji-making process. Its core value lies in completing the directional cultivation of koji microorganisms and the accumulation of metabolites through a closed environment and ecological regulation, supporting the formation of the unique flavor of sauce-flavored liquor.
[0003] The koji medicine is a fermentation substance placed in the curved bin, which contains various microorganisms. If the koji medicine is stacked together, due to the continuous metabolism of microorganisms, certain heat will be generated inside. When the temperature reaches the ignition point of the substance, spontaneous combustion and other situations will occur. To avoid such safety accidents, it is necessary to install a temperature detection, recording, and alarm monitoring system for the dry curved bin in the production workshop to timely grasp the temperature change situation inside each dry curved bin and facilitate the timely cooling treatment of the curved bin with too high temperature. In the curved bin, the stacking height of the koji medicine often exceeds 1.5 meters, and ordinary surface temperature measurement cannot reflect the internal gradient temperature difference. Therefore, it is necessary to insert the sensor into the stack or use a probe sensor and install it at the specified height before the stack.
[0004] The currently common method is to install the probe sensor on the ground before stacking. During subsequent stacking and burying, the temperature at the corresponding height position can be directly obtained. However, there are the following problems:
[0005] 1. In the liquor bin with automatic koji feeding, the dropped koji may hit the sensor, causing the position of the sensor to shift, and then the height position changes, making it impossible to accurately obtain the data at the corresponding height position. The deviation of the data acquisition will affect the quality and taste of the subsequent liquor products.
[0006] 2. When cleaning the koji in the liquor bin, a forklift is often used. Since the probe sensor is fixedly installed in the stack, the forklift may hit the sensor during operation, causing it to be damaged. Moreover, its fixed installation method also interferes with the operation of the forklift to a certain extent.
[0007] Based on the above, it is necessary to design a sensor fixing device for a curved bin that is not prone to position changes when being hit and does not interfere with the use of the forklift. Content of the Utility Model
[0008] Aiming at the problems raised in the above background art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a sensor fixing device for a curved bin.
[0009] To achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0010] A sensor fixing device for a curved cargo compartment includes a top mounting plate and a bottom hanging ring. The top mounting plate is equipped with a rope winder, a hanging ring, and a sensor. The hanging ring is connected to a hanging rope, and the lower end of the hanging rope is connected to a release hook. The hanging rope is equipped with a binding sleeve, and a probe is bound to the binding sleeve. A data cable is connected between the probe and the sensor, and the output end of the rope winder is connected to the binding sleeve.
[0011] Furthermore, the top mounting plate is equipped with a mating wheel, and the output end of the rope winder is connected to the binding sleeve after being attached to the mating wheel. This design can guide the output end of the rope winder to the position of hanging the rope, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the probe on the lower side.
[0012] Furthermore, the top mounting plate is equipped with a spring tension balancer. This design cushions the impact, preventing the hanging rope from being directly damaged, and also allows it to return to its original position, ensuring that the probe installed on it returns to the required height.
[0013] Furthermore, the lanyard is equipped with multiple straps. This design serves to bind the data cable to the lanyard while also providing a certain degree of height calibration. That is, when the probe is strapped to the straps at different positions, data at the corresponding height position can be directly obtained.
[0014] Furthermore, the unhooking device is an automatic unhooking device. This design enables automatic unhooking, meaning that even when stacked, the unhooking operation can be performed remotely without requiring personnel to separate the koji.
[0015] The beneficial effects of using this utility model are as follows:
[0016] By adopting the structural design of this utility model, the sensor probe is hung at a specified height, and the entire hanging rope is tightened with the release hook and bottom hanging ring, thus fixing the position of the probe and achieving the purpose of obtaining temperature detection at the required height.
[0017] With the structural design of this utility model, the upper side of the hanging rope will not be buried by the stack, and it can serve to inform the shovelers of the approximate location of the sensor.
[0018] By adopting the structural design of this utility model, during the bending process, the hook is unhooked by the unhooking device, and then the hanging rope and the probe installed on the hanging rope are moved to a higher position by the effect of the rope reel, so as not to affect the bending work and prevent the problem of interference and collision between the two.

[0025] Top mounting plate 1; bottom hanging ring 2; rope reel 3; hanging ring 4; sensor 5; hanging rope 6; hook release device 7; binding sleeve 8; probe 9; data cable 10; matching wheel 11; spring tension balancer 12. Detailed Implementation
[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a sensor fixing device for a curved cargo box according to this utility model includes a top mounting plate 1 and a bottom hanging ring 2. The top mounting plate 1 is equipped with a rope winder 3, a hanging ring 4 and a sensor 5. The hanging ring 4 is connected to a hanging rope 6. The lower end of the hanging rope 6 is connected to a release hook 7. The hanging rope 6 is equipped with a binding sleeve 8. The binding sleeve 8 is used to bind a probe 9. A data cable 10 is connected between the probe 9 and the sensor 5. The output end of the rope winder 3 is connected to the binding sleeve 8.
[0028] In this implementation example, when using a sensor fixing device for a curved cargo compartment, the vertical installation position of the probe 9 is determined by the positions of the top mounting plate 1 and the bottom hanging ring 2. After determination, the rope reel 3, the hanging ring 4, and the sensor 5 are installed on the top mounting plate 1. The probe 9 is then tied to the hanging rope 6 hanging on the hanging ring 4 from the end of the data cable 10 connected to the sensor 5. This tied installation allows the height of the probe 9 to be adjusted arbitrarily according to requirements. After adjusting to the appropriate height, it can be tied tightly. It should be noted that before determining the height of the probe 9, the release hook 7 should be locked to the bottom hanging ring 2 to tighten the hanging rope 6. Only then will the position of the probe 9 be more accurately determined. The power cord of the release hook 7 can also be tied to the hanging rope 6 together with the power cord of the rope reel 3 from the top.
[0029] Before the bending operation, open the release device 7, then operate the rope reel 3 to stretch the hanging rope 6 upwards, so that the probe 9 is lifted and moved to a safe position, and then the bending operation is carried out. At this time, the probe 9 will not interfere with the operation of the forklift, and the bending operation will not damage the probe 9. After the bending is completed, manually reconnect the release device 7 to the bottom hanging ring 2.
[0030] Preferably, the top mounting plate 1 is equipped with a matching wheel 11. The output end of the rope winder 3 is attached to the matching wheel 11 and then connected to the binding sleeve 8. This design can guide the output end of the rope winder 3 to the position of the hanging rope 6, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the probe 9 on the lower side. In fact, traction coordination measures can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0031] Preferably, the top mounting plate 1 is equipped with a spring tension balancer 12. This design will buffer the impact and prevent the hanging rope 6 from being directly damaged when it is impacted. It can also return to its original position to ensure that the probe 9 installed on it can return to the required height position. In fact, anti-collision buffering and rebound measures can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0032] The preferred design has multiple straps 8 installed on the lanyard 6. This design serves to bind the data cable 10 to the lanyard 6 and also serves to mark the height to a certain extent. That is, when the probe 9 is tied to the straps 8 at different positions, the data of the corresponding height position can be directly obtained. In fact, the number, structure and fixed height position of the straps 8 can be determined according to the specific situation.
[0033] The preferred unhooker 7 is an automatic unhooker. This design enables automatic unhooking, meaning that even when stacked, unhooking can be performed remotely without requiring personnel to pry open the materials. This can be achieved using readily available drone-specific unhookers or remote-controlled electronic smart locks. For example, drone-specific unhookers employ electromagnetic drive or infrared remote control technology, triggering automatic hook separation via remote control signals. These are already in use with agricultural drones transporting seeds, pesticides, and other materials. Existing unhookers for DJI T-series drones support loads up to 30kg and have anti-accidental activation safety mechanisms. Ultimately, the choice of unhooker 7 can be considered based on specific circumstances.
[0034] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
