Description

A sampling device for testing puffed food Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food sampling technology, specifically a sampling device for testing puffed food. Background Technology

[0002] Puffed foods are crispy foods made primarily from grains, potatoes, beans, and vegetables, processed through a puffing process that significantly increases their volume and achieves a certain degree of puffing. Classified by raw materials, they can be divided into: grain-based puffed foods, such as popcorn and rice crackers; potato-based puffed foods, such as potato chips and French fries; bean-based puffed foods, such as pea crisps; and vegetable-based puffed foods, such as vegetable chips. Classified by processing method, they can be divided into: fried puffed foods, such as fried potato chips, which are crispy but high in calories; baked puffed foods, such as roasted corn chips, which are relatively healthier and contain less oil; and extruded puffed foods, such as various shapes of puffed snacks, which are processed under high temperature and pressure using an extruder.

[0003] With the increasing variety and production of puffed foods, food safety issues have become more prominent. Risks such as microbial contamination, excessive heavy metals, and illegal use of additives may be introduced during the production process. Before finished products from puffed food manufacturers are packaged and shipped out, the inspection process requires sampling and testing. Samples of the entire batch of products are taken and all indicators are tested according to standards to ensure that the products are qualified before they are allowed to leave the factory.

[0004] Regarding the existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects exist: When sampling puffed food on the production line, the existing technology generally uses cylinder grippers to grab the samples. However, some puffed foods are relatively fragile, and using conventional grippers can easily break the samples, making it inconvenient to grab the samples. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem that existing sampling methods typically use cylinder grippers, which can easily break samples due to the fragility of some puffed foods, this invention provides a sampling device for detecting puffed foods.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4. This example shows a sampling device for testing puffed food, including a base 1 and a conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is located on top of the base 1. A column 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the conveyor belt 2. A motor 5 is installed on one side of the top of the column 4. A threaded rod 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the motor 5. A threaded seat 7 is threadedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 6. A hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the threaded seat 7. A horizontal plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 8. Multiple connecting columns 10 are fixedly connected around the bottom of the horizontal plate 9. A suction device 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting columns 10. The suction device 3 is located on top of the conveyor belt 2. The suction device 3 includes an adsorption tank 301 and a fixing frame 302. A fan 303 is installed inside the fixing frame 302. The top of the adsorption tank 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing frame 302. A ventilation hole is provided between the adsorption tank 301 and the fixing frame 302. A collection dish 11 is provided on the other side of the conveyor belt 2.

[0023] When it is necessary to sample the puffed food on the top of the conveyor belt 2, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is activated. The hydraulic cylinder 8 will drive the horizontal plate 9 to move downward, the horizontal plate 9 will drive the connecting column 10 to move downward, and the connecting column 10 will drive the suction device 3 to move downward. By turning on the fan 303, the sample is sucked into the inside of the adsorption tank 301. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is activated to drive the suction device 3 to move upward and reset.

[0024] Next, start motor 5. Motor 5 will drive threaded rod 6 to rotate. Threaded rod 6 will drive threaded seat 7 to move. Threaded seat 7 will drive hydraulic cylinder 8, horizontal plate 9 and connecting column 10 to move. Connecting column 10 will drive suction device 3 to move directly above collection dish 11. Finally, start hydraulic cylinder 8. Hydraulic cylinder 8 will drive suction device 3 to move downward. At the same time, turn off fan 303 so that the sample inside adsorption tank 301 falls into collection dish 11 for easy collection and retrieval.

[0025] Furthermore, the power of the 303 fan is generally around 100-500 watts, which is sufficient to absorb puffed food.

[0026] Furthermore, a crossbeam 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the column 4, and a groove 13 is machined inside the crossbeam 12. A slider 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded seat 7, and the slider 14 is movably connected inside the groove 13. When the threaded rod 6 rotates and drives the threaded seat 7 to move, the threaded seat 7 will drive the slider 14 to move, and the slider 14 will move along the inside of the groove 13. The groove 13 will limit the movement of the slider 14.

[0027] Furthermore, the top of the slider 14 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 15, and the limiting block 15 is movably connected to the top of the crossbeam 12. When the slider 14 moves along the inside of the groove 13, the slider 14 will drive the limiting block 15 to move. The limiting block 15 will limit and support the movement of the threaded seat 7, so that the threaded seat 7 remains stable when it moves.

[0028] Furthermore, multiple telescopic rods 16 are fixedly connected around the bottom of the threaded seat 7. The bottom of the telescopic rods 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 9. By providing the telescopic rods 16, the telescopic rods 16 will provide limiting support for the movement of the horizontal plate 9, thereby keeping the suction device 3 stable when it moves up and down.

[0029] Furthermore, an extension plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor belt 2, a collection dish 11 is located on the top of the extension plate 17, a prism groove 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection dish 11, a prism block 18 is machined at one end of the extension plate 17, and the prism groove 19 is plugged into the interior of the prism block 18.

[0030] When the sample is placed inside the collection dish 11, the collection dish 11 is lifted upwards, causing the collection dish 11 to move the prism groove 19. The prism groove 19 will disengage from the interior of the prism block 18, making it easy to remove the collection dish 11. By providing the prism groove 19, the prism groove 19 fits into the interior of the prism block 18, so that the collection dish 11 can be stably placed on the top of the extension plate 17.

[0031] Working principle: By activating the hydraulic cylinder 8, the hydraulic cylinder 8 will drive the horizontal plate 9, connecting column 10 and suction device 3 to move downward. By turning on the fan 303, the sample is sucked into the adsorption tank 301. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the suction device 3 to move upward and reset. Then, the motor 5 is activated, which drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate. The threaded rod 6 will drive the threaded seat 7, hydraulic cylinder 8, horizontal plate 9 and connecting column 10 to move. The connecting column 10 will move the suction device 3 to directly above the collection dish 11. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder 8 will drive the suction device 3 to move downward, and at the same time, the fan 303 will be turned off, so that the sample inside the adsorption tank 301 falls into the collection dish 11 for easy collection and retrieval.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
