Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of melting point determination technology, specifically to a device for detecting the melting point of animal fats. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the capillary melting point determination method is commonly used to test the melting point of animal fats. This involves placing the fat sample into a capillary tube, securing it to a thermometer with a rubber band, heating it, and observing the temperature at which it becomes completely transparent (melted). However, this technique suffers from drawbacks. The very small diameter of the capillary makes it difficult to visually observe changes in the fat, affecting the accuracy of the test. Furthermore, the rubber band binding the capillary and thermometer is cumbersome, requiring multiple wrappings due to the large diameter of the rubber band. This process also increases the risk of damage to the thermometer and capillary tube, adding to the cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides a device for detecting the melting point of animal fats, which can solve the problems of difficulty in observing changes in fats within capillaries, cumbersome detection procedures, and low detection efficiency.

[0004] This application provides the following technical solution: a device for detecting the melting point of animal fats, including a container, a capillary tube and a thermometer are provided inside the container, the capillary tube is fixedly connected to the thermometer by a clamp, the thermometer is set in the middle of the inner side of the container by a bracket, and the device also includes a magnifying glass assembly, which is detachably installed on the container or the bracket.

[0005] Beneficial effects: The clamping mechanism secures the capillary tube and thermometer, ensuring relative stability and maintaining close contact between the animal fat sample within the capillary and the thermometer's sensing end. This results in a more accurate reflection of the sample's actual temperature and reduces measurement errors caused by positional shifts. The thermometer is positioned in the center of the container via a bracket, avoiding contact with the container walls or bottom and improving the reliability of the test results. The magnifying glass assembly amplifies the changes in the state of the fat within the capillary, helping operators more clearly determine the critical state corresponding to the melting point temperature and avoiding judgment errors caused by blurred visual observation. The magnifying glass assembly can be mounted on the container or the bracket to adapt to different observation angles and scenarios. When the container is deep or close observation is required, the magnifying glass can be fixed above the container; if the height or viewing angle needs adjustment, it can be mounted on the bracket to meet diverse operational needs.

[0006] Furthermore, the magnifying glass assembly includes a magnifying glass, which is connected to a mounting clip via a flexible and shape-adjustable universal tube. The magnifying glass assembly can be detachably mounted on a container or a bracket via the mounting clip.

[0007] Beneficial effects: The universal tube can be bent at will and maintain a fixed shape, allowing operators to adjust the magnifying glass to the best observation position (such as tilting, pitching, rotating, etc.) according to the height of the container, the position of the thermometer, or their own observation angle, ensuring that the line of sight is at the best observation angle with the capillary axis, and avoiding image distortion or blind spots caused by viewing angle deviation.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting clip of the magnifying glass assembly is provided with a magnet.

[0009] Beneficial effects: The magnifying glass assembly can be fixedly connected to the iron bracket by the magnet on the mounting clip, making installation more convenient and quick.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping member is provided with a mounting hole, and an elastic card is provided in the mounting hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting holes of the clamping member include thermometer mounting holes and capillary mounting holes.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The capillary tube and thermometer achieve easy insertion and removal through the elastic opening and closing of the elastic clip, eliminating the need for tools or complicated procedures and improving installation efficiency. During installation, the capillary tube is inserted into the mounting hole, and the elastic clip automatically tightens and secures it; during disassembly, it can be gently pulled out, significantly shortening sample replacement time.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping member is provided with an elastic claw on one side.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The thermometer is held in place by elastic jaws, which makes the structure simple, the operation more convenient, and the installation efficiency improved.

[0015] Furthermore, the clamping component is made of a high-temperature resistant elastic resin material.

[0016] Beneficial effects: High-temperature resistant elastic resins (such as polyetheretherketone, polyphenylene sulfide, or modified silicone) have high glass transition temperatures, can withstand the high-temperature bath environment during animal fat melting point testing, and are low in cost and easy to process and mold.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping member is made of elastic metal material and is provided with a protective sleeve.

[0018] Beneficial effects: Elastic metals possess excellent elastic limits and fatigue resistance, providing a continuous and stable clamping force. The protective sleeve can be made of resin or rubber materials to prevent damage to the thermometer and capillary tube caused by the metal. Attached Figure Description
