Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a sampling device for grain condition monitoring, including a guide frame 1 and a bidirectional movable sampling platform 2;
[0027] It also includes a walking platform 18 and two guide rails 19, the walking platform 18 moving along the two guide rails 19;
[0028] The walking platform 18 has a built-in power mechanism. The walking platform 18 is a commonly used mechanism in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] A microcontroller 21 is installed on the walking platform 18;
[0030] When in use, the guide rail 19 is fixed in the grain silo where the grain is stored;
[0031] The walking platform 18 is fixedly connected to the guide frame 1. A vertically arranged screw lifting module 20 is installed on the guide frame 1. The sampling table 2 is slidably connected to the guide frame 1 and is driven by the screw lifting module 20.
[0032] By setting up the walking platform 18 and the screw lifting module 20, the sampling platform 2 can move freely within the grain warehouse, thereby changing the sampling position of this sampling device.
[0033] A motor 3 is installed on the sampling stage 2. A spiral tube 4 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the sampling stage 2. A suction tube 5 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the spiral tube 4. Both the spiral tube 4 and the suction tube 5 are driven by the motor 3.
[0034] A sampling hole 6 is provided at the lower part of both the spiral tube 4 and the suction tube 5. A cone head is installed on the bottom surface of the spiral tube 4. The rotation axis 13 of the sampling hole 6 is perpendicular to the axis of the spiral tube 4 and the suction tube 5.
[0035] The output shaft of motor 3 is connected to a synchronous belt, the suction pipe 5 is connected to the synchronous belt, and a reverse coupling 22 is rotatably connected to the sampling stage 2. A driven bevel tooth is installed on both the suction pipe 5 and the spiral pipe 4, and a reverse bevel tooth is installed on the reverse coupling 22. Both driven bevel teeth are connected to the reverse bevel tooth, and the two driven bevel teeth are respectively located on both sides of the reverse bevel tooth.
[0036] By setting the anti-coupling 22, the suction pipe 5 and the rotary pipe 4 can rotate in opposite directions on the same axis during the sampling operation.
[0037] Two sets of turbulence-inducing rods 7 are installed on the vortex tube 4;
[0038] During the sampling operation, the rotation state of the suction pipe 5 is set to drive the turbulence bar 7 to agitate the grain to be sampled. By agitating, the blockage rate of the grain to be sampled outside the sampling hole 6 is reduced, and the sampling ease of the sampling hole 6 is improved.
[0039] During sampling, the two sampling holes 6 are periodically connected. The periodic connection of the two sampling holes 6 effectively increases the negative pressure inside the suction pipe 5, thereby increasing the suction force of the sampling holes 6 on the grain to be sampled. At the same time, the internal rotation structure of the suction pipe 5 can effectively reduce the blockage rate of the grain in the suction pipe 5.
[0040] A negative pressure suction assembly adapted to the sampling hole 6 is installed on the guide frame 1, and the discharge port of the negative pressure suction assembly is connected to a detection cylinder 8;
[0041] The negative pressure suction assembly includes a negative pressure suction channel 23 opened inside the suction pipe 5, a suction pump 24 installed on the guide frame 1, the suction port of the suction pump 24 is connected to the negative pressure suction channel 23 through the corrugated connecting pipe 25, the negative pressure suction channel 23 is connected to the sampling hole 6 on the suction pipe 5, and the discharge port of the suction pump 24 is connected to the detection cylinder 8.
[0042] Inside the detection cylinder 8, a moisture probe 9 and a temperature probe 10 are respectively installed. The data terminals of the moisture probe 9 and the temperature probe 10 are both connected to the microcontroller 21.
[0043] During grain sampling operations, moisture probe 9 is used to monitor the moisture data of the sampled grain in the detection cylinder 8 in real time, and temperature probe 10 is used to monitor the temperature data of the sampled grain in the detection cylinder 8 in real time.
[0044] The surface of the detection cylinder 8 is connected to a one-way exhaust pipe 11, which allows the gas entering the detection cylinder 8 to be discharged outward in one direction.
[0045] The bottom end of the detection cylinder 8 is connected to a sample storage cylinder 12. The inner wall of the sample storage cylinder 12 is rotatably mounted with a rotating shaft 13 driven by a motor. A set of baffle seats 14 arranged in a circumferential array and suitable for sealing the detection cylinder 8 are mounted on the rotating shaft 13. A sample storage cavity 15 is provided between each pair of baffle seats 14. A sample discharge valve 16 is connected to the bottom surface of the sample storage cylinder 12. An air purification pump 17 is mounted on the guide frame 1. The air outlet of the air purification pump 17 is connected to the inner cavity of the detection cylinder 8. A filter is installed at the air inlet of the air purification pump 17.
[0046] When the suction pump 24 is working, a designated baffle seat 14 seals the bottom of the detection cylinder 8. The quantitative grain sucked by the suction pump 24 enters the detection cylinder 8 and is temporarily stored in the detection cylinder 8. The grain entering the detection cylinder 8 is detected online by the moisture probe 9 and the temperature probe 10. The online detection results are output to the microcontroller 21 in real time.
[0047] After the grain in the detection cylinder 8 is tested, the baffle seat 14 loses its sealing function on the bottom of the detection cylinder 8. The grain in the detection cylinder 8 enters a designated sample storage chamber 15 for temporary storage. When the baffle seat 14 rotates, the air cleaning pump 17 works, thereby realizing the air cleaning of the inner wall of the detection cylinder 8 and the cleaning of the dirt at the probe ends of the moisture probe 9 and temperature probe 10, thereby maintaining the surface cleanliness of the detection cylinder 8, the moisture probe 9 and the temperature probe 10, and reducing the grain contamination rate during variable depth sampling.
[0048] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the guide rail 19 is fixed in the grain silo where the grain is stored. Through the setting of the walking platform 18 and the screw lifting module 20, the sampling platform 2 can move freely within the grain silo, thereby changing the sampling position of this sampling device. Before sampling, the two sampling holes 6 are staggered, with the sampling holes 6 extending to a specified depth in the grain. Then, sampling of the grain at the specified depth is performed. During sampling, the suction pump 24 and the motor 3 work synchronously. When the suction pump 24 is working, a designated baffle 14... The bottom is sealed, and the quantitative grain sucked by the suction pump 24 enters the detection cylinder 8 and is temporarily stored in the detection cylinder 8. The grain in the detection cylinder 8 is detected online by the moisture probe 9 and the temperature probe 10. The online detection results are output to the microcontroller 21 in real time. After a single sampling and detection is completed, the baffle seat 14 loses its sealing function on the bottom of the detection cylinder 8, and the grain in the detection cylinder 8 enters a designated sample storage chamber 15 for temporary storage, thereby completing the buffering of the sampled grain at the designated depth. After a single sampling is completed, variable depth sampling can be performed, thereby performing continuous multi-depth sampling.
