Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flour testing technology, and more specifically, to a flour sampling device for flour testing. Background Technology
[0002] Based on the protein content, flour can be divided into high-gluten flour, medium-gluten flour, low-gluten flour, and gluten-free flour. Flour is a staple food in most parts of northern China. There are many varieties of food made from flour, with a wide variety of styles and flavors. During the transportation and use of flour, it is necessary to test the quality of the flour, which requires the use of sampling devices to collect the flour that needs to be tested.
[0003] For example, a flour sampling device for flour testing, disclosed in CN214844207U, includes a mounting shell and a clamping mechanism. The mounting shell has symmetrical supports on its inner bottom surface, with a machine housing between the supports. Rollers rotatably connected inside the machine housing have evenly distributed fan blades on their outer arc surfaces. The rear end of the rollers passes through the inner rear wall of the machine housing and is equipped with a first gear. A conveying pipe is located at the left end of the machine housing, with its rear end passing through the mounting shell and fitted with a dust filter bag. A suction tube is located on the front side of the mounting shell, with its rear end passing through the mounting shell and the machine housing and extending into the interior of the machine housing. A motor is located on the inner bottom surface of the mounting shell, with a second gear at the output shaft end of the motor. This flour sampling device for flour testing achieves efficient clamping, ensures the safety of the sampled flour, achieves efficient suction, improves operational efficiency, facilitates maintenance, and enhances ease of use for personnel.
[0004] However, based on the working principle proposed in the aforementioned patent, the applicant believes that although the device can improve ease of use to a certain extent, in actual use, when sampling flour, it is often necessary to sample the inside of the flour to make the sampling more standardized. The aforementioned device lacks an effective sampling method for the inside of the flour.
[0005] Therefore, a flour sampling device for flour testing is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a flour sampling device for flour detection, which has the advantage of facilitating sampling of flour from deeper parts of the flour.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flour sampling device for flour detection, comprising a spherical probe, a limiting tube fixedly installed on the outer side of the spherical probe, a feed inlet opened at the outer end of the spherical probe, a spherical plug movably installed in the inner cavity of the limiting tube, a leakage baffle fixedly installed on the inner side of the limiting tube, an inner tube fixedly installed at the bottom end of the limiting tube, an outer tube threadedly connected to the outer side of the inner tube, and a probe tube fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer tube.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inserted long tube, and an oil pump is fixedly installed on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an oil pipe is fixedly installed between the oil pump and the hydraulic cylinder, and a fixed flange is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an output rod is movably installed on the inner side of the hydraulic cylinder, and a thrust plug is fixedly installed on the top end of the output rod. The thrust plug is movably installed in the inner cavity of the inserted long tube.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a handle is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fixed flange, a battery is movably installed on the inner side of the handle, and a protective cover is threaded onto the other end of the handle.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a control button is fixedly installed on the surface of the grip, a vent is provided on the outer side of the cover, and an electrical connection port is provided on the surface of the cover.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a spherical probe, facilitates the opening of an arc-shaped feed inlet, allowing the internal spherical plug to form a sealing effect on the feed inlet. The setting of a limiting tube provides space for the spherical plug to move. In use, the oil pump first controls the pusher plug to push inward, thereby compressing the air inside the probe. Under the pressure, the spherical plug pushes against the feed inlet, thus sealing the feed inlet. After the feed inlet is sealed, the user pushes the spherical probe into the flour. When the entire probe is inserted into the flour inside the long tube, the oil pump controls the pusher plug to move backward, thereby creating a negative pressure in the space inside the long tube. Under the pressure, the spherical plug separates from the feed inlet, thus opening the feed inlet. Under the negative pressure, the flour inside also enters the limiting tube and the probe into the long tube, thereby achieving the purpose of sampling the flour inside.
[0015] 2. This utility model, through the setting of hydraulic cylinder and oil pump, facilitates the user to control the internal air-push plug to form a telescopic displacement, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the pressure in the space protruding into the long tube. The setting of oil pipe facilitates the internal and external transmission of hydraulic oil. The setting of fixed flange facilitates the connection strength between hydraulic cylinder and handle. The setting of output rod and air-push plug facilitates the compression or release of air in the space protruding into the long tube. The setting of battery facilitates the provision of kinetic energy for the operation of the whole device. The setting of protective cover facilitates the proper protection of battery. The setting of control button facilitates the user to control the electrical function of the device. The setting of vent hole facilitates heat dissipation for battery. Attached Figure Description

[0024] A hydraulic cylinder 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inserted long tube 8, and an oil pump 10 is fixedly installed on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder 9.
[0025] The hydraulic cylinder 9 and oil pump 10 allow the user to control the internal thrust plug 14 to form a telescopic displacement, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the pressure in the space inside the probe tube 8.
[0026] An oil pipe 11 is fixedly installed between the oil pump 10 and the hydraulic cylinder 9, and a fixed flange 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 9.
[0027] The oil pipe 11 facilitates the internal and external transmission of hydraulic oil, and the fixed flange 12 helps to enhance the connection strength between the hydraulic cylinder 9 and the handle 15.
[0028] The hydraulic cylinder 9 has an output rod 13 movably mounted on its inner side, and a thrust plug 14 is fixedly mounted on the top of the output rod 13. The thrust plug 14 is movably mounted in the inner cavity of the long tube 8.
[0029] The output rod 13 and the thrust plug 14 facilitate the compression or release of air protruding into the space inside the long tube 8.
[0030] The handle 15 is fixedly installed on the outside of the fixed flange 12, the battery is movably installed on the inside of the handle 15, and the other end of the handle 15 is threaded with a cover 16.
[0031] The battery provides power for the operation of the entire device, and the cover 16 provides appropriate protection for the battery.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the oil pump 10 first controls the air pusher 14 to push inward, thereby compressing the air inside the probe tube 8. Under the pressure, the spherical plug 4 pushes against the feed inlet 3, thereby blocking the feed inlet 3. After the feed inlet 3 is blocked, the user pushes the spherical probe 1 into the flour. When the entire probe tube 8 is submerged inside the flour, the oil pump 10 controls the air pusher 14 to move backward, thereby creating a negative pressure in the space inside the long tube. Under the pressure, the spherical plug 4 separates from the feed inlet 3, thus opening the feed inlet 3. Under the negative pressure, the flour inside also enters the limiting tube 2 and the probe tube 8, thereby achieving the purpose of sampling the flour inside.
