Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of probiotic production technology, specifically relating to a sampling and inspection device for a probiotic powder production line. Background Technology

[0002] Probiotic powder is a preparation in which probiotics are made into powder form. It can regulate the balance of intestinal flora, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, relieve intestinal discomfort symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating, enhance the digestive and absorptive capacity of the intestines, and enhance immunity.

[0003] In the production process of probiotic powder, it is necessary to sample and inspect the produced probiotic powder to check its sensory indicators, physicochemical indicators, microbiological indicators, and active ingredients, among other components. Existing technologies, such as Chinese patent applications CN201921152157.0 and CN202420319458.2, disclose sampling devices for probiotic powder. However, both of them use a suction method to sample the probiotic powder through a sampling port. This method is prone to clogging of the sampling port and is not suitable for the flowability characteristics of powder. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sampling and inspection device for a probiotic powder production line, addressing the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A sampling and inspection device for a probiotic powder production line includes a main shell and a movable rod; a T-shaped rod is coaxially arranged on the lower inner side of the main shell; a groove is formed on the top of the T-shaped rod; the bottom surface of the movable rod is pressed into the groove, and a flange that limits the movement of the top of the main shell is arranged in annular shape on its side; a conical sampling chamber is coaxially and integrally fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped rod; a spring is preloaded on the outside of the T-shaped rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower half of the T-shaped rod and the sampling chamber are both equal three-part hollow structures.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the main body shell is provided with a splitting and resetting guide; the upper part of the splitting and resetting guide is a central axis with three equally divided guide blades corresponding to the three-split hollow structure of the T-shaped rod, and the lower part is a downwardly expanding central axis with three equally divided guide blades.

[0009] Furthermore, the T-shaped rod is made of a flexible material.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the T-shaped rod is a downward-radiating trumpet-shaped limiting block; the limiting block is provided with a downward-radiating trumpet-shaped limiting ring; one end of the spring abuts against the upper part of the limiting ring, and the other end abuts against the lower part of the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the groove is a relatively involute spiral groove structure; on the side of the movable rod, a pair of opposing pressing blocks are axially arranged below the flange.

[0012] Preferably, three sliders are circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the groove; and a groove is axially arranged on the inner wall of the main body shell corresponding to the sliders.

[0013] Preferably, a retaining ring is provided below the flange and is fixedly connected to the main body shell.

[0014] Preferably, a shock-absorbing pad is provided between the upper part of the flange and the main body shell.

[0015] Furthermore, a stepper motor is provided at the top of the movable rod; the stepper motor is coaxially connected to the movable rod.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this invention adopts a splitting and grasping method for probiotic powder samples, adapting to the flowability of the powder and eliminating the problem of easy clogging of the suction sampling port. This makes probiotic powder sampling more convenient and faster, with low maintenance costs and high practicality. Furthermore, because it uses a vertical insertion grasping sampling method, it further avoids sampling deviations caused by powder stratification or residue. The sampling chamber achieves linear splitting and rapid contraction for grasping and sampling, resulting in a more sensitive response. Combined with a stepper motor, this significantly improves sampling efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0027] Example 1, Reference Figure 1-3 A sampling and inspection device for a probiotic powder production line includes a main shell 1, a movable rod 2, a T-shaped rod 3, and a spring 4; the T-shaped rod 3 is coaxially arranged on the lower inner side of the main shell 1; a groove 31 is formed on the top of the T-shaped rod 3; the bottom surface of the movable rod 2 is pressed into the groove 31, and a flange 21 that limits the movement of the top of the main shell 1 is arranged in an annular shape on its side; a conical sampling chamber 33 is coaxially and integrally fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped rod 3.

[0028] The lower half of the T-shaped rod 3 and the sampling chamber 33 are both equal three-part hollow structures; the bottom of the main body shell 1 is provided with a split reset guide 5.

[0029] The upper part of the splitting and resetting guide 5 is a central axis with three equally divided guide blades 51 corresponding to the three-split hollow structure of the T-shaped rod 3, and the lower part is a downwardly expanding central axis with three equally divided guide blades 52.

[0030] The T-shaped rod 3 is made of flexible material, preferably polyvinyl chloride plastic or polyethylene plastic.

[0031] The bottom of the T-shaped rod 3 is a downward-radiating trumpet-shaped limiting block 32.

[0032] A downward-scattering, trumpet-shaped limiting ring 34 is provided on the upper outer side of the limiting block 32; the limiting ring 34 is fixed relative to the main body shell 1. The limiting ring 34 and the limiting block 32 cooperate with each other to enable the split sampling chamber 33 to achieve the function of resetting and tightening, and the probiotic sample captured by the sampling chamber 33 will not spill.

[0033] The spring 4 is preloaded and sleeved on the lower part of the T-shaped rod 3, with one end abutting above the limiting ring 34 and the other end abutting below the groove 31.

[0034] In use, the upper part of the split reset guide 5 (with three equally divided guide blades attached to the central axis) is nested into the split gap of the limiting block 32 at the bottom of the T-shaped rod 3; when the movable rod 2 is pressed, the movable rod 2 applies pressure to the T-shaped rod 3, and the flexible T-shaped rod 3 moves downward under the guidance of the upper part of the split reset guide 5 (with three equally divided guide blades attached to the central axis). When it moves to the lower part of the split reset guide 5 (with three equally divided guide blades attached to the central axis that gradually expand downward), the flexible T-shaped rod 3 begins to spread downward and outward in the circumferential direction along the split gap, and then the split sampling chamber 33 also spreads downward and outward in the circumferential direction along the split gap.

[0035] After the probiotic powder sample is captured from the production line, the pressure applied to the movable rod 2 is released. At this time, under the tension of the spring 4, the T-shaped rod 3 is quickly lifted, causing the limiting block 32 to move upward. Under the action of the limiting ring 34, it reassembles on the outer side of the upper part of the splitting and resetting guide 5 (with three equally divided guide blades attached to the central axis). The device is moved so that the sampling chamber 33 is aligned downward with the prepared sample collection bag. Pressure is applied to the movable rod 2 again, and the sampling chamber 33 splits open. The probiotic powder captured inside can then fall into the sample collection bag under the action of gravity. This quickly completes the probiotic sample collection.

[0036] Compared with the prior art, this embodiment adopts a press-type split sampling chamber to split and grab probiotic powder samples, which adapts to the flowability of powder and eliminates the problem of easy clogging of the suction sampling port. It makes it more convenient and faster to complete the sampling of probiotic powder, with low maintenance cost and strong practicality. Moreover, since it is a vertical insertion grab sampling, it further avoids sampling deviation caused by powder layering or residue.

[0037] Example 2, Reference Figure 4 and 5 This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1.

[0038] To further increase the rebound speed of the T-shaped rod 3 under the tension of the spring 4, the groove 31 is a counter-rotating involute spiral groove structure. On the side of the movable rod 2, a pair of opposing pressing blocks 22 are axially arranged below the flange 21. The pressing blocks 22 can rotate and slide along the upper surface of the involute spiral groove.

[0039] Three sliders 35 are circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the groove 31; a sliding groove 11 is axially arranged on the inner wall of the main body shell 1 corresponding to the sliders 35. The sliders 35 and the sliding groove 11 arranged opposite each other convert the rotational tangential force on the T-shaped rod 3 during its downward movement into a vertically downward sliding friction force, thus preventing the split hollow structure of the T-shaped rod 3 from twisting relative to the split reset guide 5 and enhancing the service life of the equipment.

[0040] A retaining ring 12, which is fixedly connected to the main body shell 1, is provided below the flange 21. The retaining ring 12 cooperates with the flange 21 to restrict the downward movement of the movable rod 2, so that it can only rotate axially.

[0041] A shock-absorbing pad 13 is provided between the flange 21 and the main body shell 1.

[0042] In use, the only difference from Embodiment 1 is that the pressure applied to the movable rod 2 is changed to the rotational force applied to the movable rod 2. At this time, the lower pressure block 22 moves from the lowest point to the highest point along the upper surface of the involute spiral groove. The T-shaped rod 3 is gradually subjected to downward pressure and moves downward. When the lower pressure block 22 moves to the highest point of the upper surface of the involute spiral groove and continues to rotate, the T-shaped rod 3 will instantly contract and spring back under the tension of the spring 4, returning to the state where the lower pressure block 22 is locked in place with the lowest point of the upper surface of the involute spiral groove.

[0043] In this embodiment, due to the design of the involute spiral groove, the sampling chamber 33 driven by the T-shaped rod 3 achieves linear splitting and opening, and rapid contraction to grab and collect samples. The response is more sensitive, which greatly speeds up the sampling process. More sampling operations can be completed per unit time, and the work efficiency increases step by step.

[0044] Example 3, Reference Figure 6 and 7 This embodiment is an improvement upon embodiment 2.

[0045] A stepper motor 6 is mounted on the top of the movable rod 2; the stepper motor 6 is coaxially connected to the movable rod 2. The stepper motor 6 provides rotational force to the movable rod 2, further improving work efficiency.

Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.

[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
