Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sampling technology, and in particular to an automatic sampling device for cottonseed protein products. Background Technology
[0002] Cottonseed protein is a protein extracted from cottonseed, characterized by high protein content and an excellent amino acid composition. It is produced through processes such as delinting, hulling, low-temperature oil extraction, draining, and removal of the toxic substance gossypol. Cottonseed protein has high nutritional value, similar to legume protein and far exceeding cereal protein, making it a high-quality plant protein resource.
[0003] The Chinese utility model CN217765559U describes an automatic sampling device for cottonseed protein products. The sampling structure is designed based on the principle of using an electric telescopic rod to drive the baffle to extend and retract to seal the sampling box. The sampling box is inserted into the protein powder, the baffle is controlled to seal the sampling box, and then it is pulled out of the protein powder. The samples inside the sampling box are taken out one by one.
[0004] However, existing devices require multiple motors and telescopic rods to sample cottonseed protein, making the operation cumbersome and costly. Therefore, a simple and low-cost sampling device was designed to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic sampling device for finished cottonseed protein products to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0007] An automatic sampling device for cottonseed protein products includes: a housing containing multiple interconnected boxes; a plug at the bottom of the housing; a feeding assembly on the housing, comprising: a through groove on the outer wall of the housing; a U-shaped plate on the outer wall of the housing; a second through groove on the outer wall of the U-shaped plate; a vertical rod with its bottom end passing through the U-shaped plate and connected to the top of the housing; a spring on the outer side of the vertical rod; and a top plate on the top of the vertical rod.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first through slot and the second through slot are of equal size.
[0009] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly further includes a sponge pad disposed on the top of the top plate.
[0010] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly further includes a cylindrical sleeve fitted onto the outer side wall of the upright.
[0011] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly further includes: a threaded rod fixedly disposed at the bottom of the housing; and a threaded tube fixedly disposed at the top of the block and threadedly connected to the threaded rod.
[0012] In some embodiments, the block is designed in the shape of a square pyramid.
[0013] In some embodiments, the box body is provided with a connecting assembly, the connecting assembly comprising: a rectangular shell disposed at the bottom of the box body; a hole formed on the outer side wall of the rectangular shell; a rectangular rod whose bottom end is connected to the inner side wall of the box body; a groove formed at the top end of the rectangular rod; a second spring disposed inside the groove; and an arc-shaped block whose end is inserted into the groove and connected to the second spring.
[0014] In some embodiments, the U-shaped plate and the groove are symmetrically arranged in two sets.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This automatic sampling device allows the feeding component to align the two channels by controlling the up-and-down movement of the U-shaped plate. This causes cottonseed protein to automatically scatter into the inner box for sampling, eliminating the need for manual sampling of each layer. This significantly improves work efficiency and is simpler to operate and cheaper than existing devices. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0027] The current technology relies on an electric telescopic rod to extend and retract a baffle to seal the sampling box. The box is then inserted into the protein powder, the baffle seals it, and the box is pulled out of the powder. Samples are then extracted sequentially from the sampling box. However, existing devices require multiple motors and telescopic rods to complete the sampling of cottonseed protein, making the process cumbersome and expensive.
[0028] As shown in the attached figure, this embodiment of the invention provides an automatic sampling device for cottonseed protein products.
[0029] The device includes: a housing 11 with multiple boxes 12 inside, the boxes 12 being interconnected; a block 13 located at the bottom of the housing 11 and inserted into the housing 11; a feeding assembly 2 on the housing 11, the feeding assembly 2 including: a through groove 21 on the outer side wall of the housing 11; a U-shaped plate 22 on the outer side wall of the housing 11; a second through groove 23 on the outer side wall of the U-shaped plate 22; a vertical rod 24 whose bottom end passes through the U-shaped plate 22 and connects to the top of the housing 11; a spring 25 sleeved on the outside of the vertical rod 24; and a top plate 26 located on the top of the vertical rod 24.
[0030] Specifically, the plug 13 and the housing 11 are connected by a snap-fit mechanism. The principle behind this mechanism is that the two parts can interlock via hook-shaped protrusions and grooves, utilizing the elasticity of the plastic material to achieve a stable connection. The snap-fit assembly is existing technology and is not shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0031] When using, hold the shell 11 and insert it into the cottonseed protein. Then press the top plate 26 to fully insert the shell 11 into the cottonseed protein. Next, insert your hand into the U-shaped plate 22 and control the U-shaped plate 22 to move upward, compressing the spring 25. As the U-shaped plate 22 moves upward, the second channel 23 aligns with the first channel 21. Shake the shell 11, and the cottonseed protein powder will enter the box 12 through the first channel 21 and the second channel 23. Then release the U-shaped plate 22, and the spring 25 will rebound, pushing the U-shaped plate 22 downward on the surface of the shell 11, causing the second channel 23 and the first channel 21 to be misaligned, sealing the first channel 21 on the shell 11. Pull out the shell 11, and finally remove the plug 13 from the bottom of the shell 11. Take out the box 12 inside, and remove the box 12 from top to bottom in sequence. Pour out the sample inside, which allows for layered sampling of the cottonseed protein powder.
[0032] In some embodiments, the through slot 1 21 and the through slot 23 are of equal size.
[0033] The equal design allows for better overlap between through slot 1 21 and through slot 2 23.
[0034] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 2 further includes a sponge pad 27 disposed on the top of the top plate 26.
[0035] The design of the foam pad 27 can improve comfort when pressing the top plate 26.
[0036] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 2 further includes a cylinder 28 sleeved on the outer side wall of the upright 24.
[0037] The design of the cylinder 28 allows for a certain distance between the U-shaped plate 22 and the top of the housing 11, making it easier to insert fingers and lift the U-shaped plate 22 upwards.
[0038] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 2 further includes: a threaded rod 29 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the housing 12; and a threaded tube 291 fixedly disposed at the top of the block 13 and threadedly connected to the threaded rod 29.
[0039] By controlling the rotation of the plug 13, the threaded tube 291 can be driven to rotate and be threadedly connected to the threaded rod 29. By controlling the connection between the plug 13 and the box 12, the stability of the box 12 inside the shell 11 can be maintained.
[0040] In some embodiments, the block 13 is designed in the shape of a square pyramid.
[0041] The pointed design at the bottom of the four-sided pyramid reduces resistance when inserted into the cottonseed protein.
[0042] In some embodiments, the box body 12 is provided with a connecting component 3, the connecting component 3 including: a rectangular shell 31 disposed at the bottom of the box body 12; a hole 32 opened on the outer side wall of the rectangular shell 31; a rectangular rod 33 with its bottom end connected to the inner side wall of the box body 12; a groove 34 opened at the top end of the rectangular rod 33; a second spring 35 disposed inside the groove 34; and an arc-shaped block 36 with one end inserted into the groove 34 and connected to the second spring 35.
[0043] When connecting the box 12, simply insert the rectangular shell 31 at the bottom of the box 12 into the rectangular rod 33 inside the other box 12. At the same time as insertion, the arc block 36 is squeezed back into the groove 34 and compressed by the second spring 35 until the arc block 36 is aligned with the hole 32. The second spring 35 then rebounds and pushes the arc block 36 into the hole 32 to complete the connection. When disassembling, simply pull to separate, making it easy to take out the sample from inside the box 12.
[0044] In some embodiments, the U-shaped plate 22 and the groove 34 are symmetrically arranged in two sets.
[0045] The two sets of designs provide a better connection and are less likely to come loose.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
