A food quality testing device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food testing equipment, specifically a food quality testing device. Background Technology

[0002] After a series of processing and packaging processes, frozen meat products are prone to metal or other foreign matter residues due to continuous contact with equipment. Therefore, the packaged finished products need to be tested by testing equipment before leaving the factory.

[0003] In existing technology, the detection method involves the packaged finished products passing through a conveyor line equipped with an X-ray foreign object detector. Packaging bags with foreign object residue are detected by the detector and an alarm is triggered. However, a technical drawback is that the detected defective packaging bags need to be manually removed from the conveyor line; the equipment cannot automatically separate qualified and unqualified packaging bags. Based on this, the applicant believes that the current equipment needs further improvement to enhance its detection efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0005] To address the problems reflected in the background art, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A food quality testing device includes a first path, a second path, and a third path, wherein:

[0007] The object to be tested passes through the first path, the second path, and the third path in sequence;

[0008] A detection unit is configured at the first path, and the second path works in conjunction with the detection unit to maintain or release the position.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution for a food quality testing device, a longitudinal drop is formed between the first path and the third path, and the second path has a connecting surface that can be released or reset.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution for a food quality testing device, it also includes a base frame. The first path and the third path are fixedly set relative to the base frame. The second path includes a support plate, one end of which is movably connected to the base frame. A spring assembly is connected between the support plate and the base frame. The base frame is provided with a support part that is linked to the detection unit, which supports or releases the support plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution for a food quality testing device, one end of the support plate is rotatably connected to the base frame, and the spring assembly includes a torsion spring, which is coaxial with the rotation axis of the support plate.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution for a food quality testing device, the support part includes an electric telescopic rod fixedly mounted on the base frame, the output end of which supports or releases the support plate during the movement.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the food quality testing device provided by this utility model are as follows: through the coordination between the three paths, after the packaging bag is scanned and tested, the unqualified packaging bag can fall from the middle of the conveyor line, while the qualified one is directly transported to the end of the conveyor line, thereby completing the automatic sorting of qualified and unqualified packaging bags, which can effectively improve the testing efficiency compared with the current technology.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0024] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1-5, an embodiment of this utility model provides a food quality testing device. The device as a whole includes a conveyor line and a testing unit (X-ray detector 4) mounted on the conveyor line. The conveyor line can be divided into a first path 1, a second path 2 and a third path 3 in order from front to back. The first path 1 and the third path 3 can be composed of a conveyor belt or a conveyor roller. The second path 2 is composed of a support plate 6.

[0026] Specifically, a vertical drop is formed from the first path 1 to the third path 3. The support plate 6 provides an inclined connecting surface, so that when the packaging bag is sent from the first path 1 to the support plate 6, it can slide down to the third path 3 through the inclined connecting surface, and then continue to be transported to the end of the entire conveyor line, as shown in Figure 5. The support plate 6 can be fixed to maintain the position shown in Figure 5, and can also be released from this position. It is linked with the detection unit and controlled by the detection unit, which is specifically located at the first path 1.

[0027] Based on the above, during the movement of the packaging bag on the conveyor line, when the inspection department detects that it is qualified, the support plate 6 maintains the position shown in Figure 5, so that it can smoothly pass through the second path 2 and reach the third path 3, and continue to be transported to the end of the entire conveyor line; when the packaging bag is detected as unqualified at the first path 1, the support plate 6 releases the position shown in Figure 5, and the packaging bag can no longer be transported after leaving the first path 1, so it falls directly downwards at the second path 2; thus, the unqualified and qualified packaging bags are sorted out, thereby reducing the need for manual labor and improving inspection efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, regarding the linkage between the support plate 6 and the detection unit, referring to Figure 3, one end of the support plate 6 is rotatably connected to the base frame 5 of the entire conveyor line. At this rotatable point, a spring assembly (torsion spring 7) is also connected between the support plate 6 and the base frame 5. The torsion spring 7 is used to maintain the position of the support plate 6 as shown in Figure 5. As shown in Figure 4, an electric telescopic rod 8 is also fixedly installed on the base frame 5. When its output end extends, it supports the bottom of the support plate 6. At this time, the support plate 6 can still maintain the position shown in Figure 5 when subjected to force, that is, maintain the normal conveying state of the second path 2. The electric telescopic rod 8 Electrically connected to the X-ray detector 4, and forming an electrical signal, when a non-compliant foreign object is detected in the packaging bag at the first path 1, the electric telescopic rod 8 retracts, the bottom of the support plate 6 loses support, and when the packaging bag reaches the top of the support plate 6, the support plate 6 will swing downward around the rotating point due to gravity, causing the packaging bag to fall. After the packaging bag has fallen, the support plate 6 will quickly return to the position shown in Figure 5 due to the elastic force of the torsion spring 7. When the next packaging bag passes the inspection, the electric telescopic rod 8 extends to provide normal support for the support plate 6, so as to ensure that qualified packaging bags can pass smoothly.

[0029] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0030] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
