Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of activity meter testing material storage, and more specifically, to a layered deep cavity temperature-controlled activity meter testing material storage. Background Technology
[0002] The temperature-controlled activity meter is a precision instrument that combines temperature control and water activity measurement. It is mainly used for quality testing in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Through a high-precision sensor, it monitors and controls the measurement temperature in real time to ensure that the water activity data is not affected by temperature fluctuations, thereby improving measurement accuracy and repeatability. During testing, the material to be tested is placed inside the material chamber, and then the material chamber is placed inside the positioning groove of the temperature-controlled activity meter and covered with a sealing cover. The test is performed through the detection end on the sealing cover, and the temperature inside the material chamber is controlled by the heating or cooling components inside the positioning groove.
[0003] Existing material storage bins have a simple structure. When multiple materials need to be tested, they can only be tested sequentially. They cannot test different batches or different states of the same material simultaneously, nor can they effectively distinguish and isolate materials for individual testing. Therefore, a layered deep cavity temperature-controlled activity meter for testing material bins is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a layered deep cavity temperature-controlled activity meter for detecting material bins, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a layered deep cavity temperature-controlled activity meter detection material bin, comprising a material bin, a support platform fixedly connected to the top of the material bin, which facilitates the removal of the material bin from the activity meter placement groove; a first heat-conducting plate fixedly connected to the outer surface of the material bin, which can quickly and evenly transfer heat or cold to various parts of the material bin, achieving precise control of the internal temperature of the material bin; a support groove is provided in the inner cavity of the material bin, and positioning strips are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the support groove; a layered plate is provided at the top of the support groove, which supports the layered plate and the positioning strips limit the position of the layered plate; a sealing gasket is provided at the bottom of the layered plate, which improves the sealing strength of the upper and lower cavities of the support groove, enabling independent layered storage of materials;
[0006] The top of the layered plate has a fixing groove, and the middle of the layered plate has a detection through hole. The detection through hole allows the activity meter's detection probe to be directly inserted into the bottom cavity of the layered plate for detection. By compressing the sealing ring, a sealing effect is achieved. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the layered plate. A second heat-conducting plate is set in the middle of the fixing groove. The fixing groove limits and supports the second heat-conducting plate, facilitating positioning during fixing. A heat-conducting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the second heat-conducting plate. The heat-conducting ring further enhances the heat transfer efficiency between the layered plate and the material hopper, allowing the material on the layered plate to better maintain the overall temperature control environment of the material hopper. Positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the heat-conducting ring, the layered plate, and the sealing gasket, corresponding to the positioning strips, to ensure the stability of the layered plate during installation and use, prevent its displacement in the material hopper, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of material layering.
[0007] Preferably, the first heat-conducting plate is located around the perimeter and bottom of the material silo, and the bottom wall of the support platform is set as an arc-shaped structure. The heat or cold energy is quickly and evenly transferred to various parts of the material silo through the first heat-conducting plate, so as to achieve precise control of the internal temperature of the material silo.
[0008] Preferably, the periphery of the layered plate is located in the middle of the support groove, and the sealing gasket is disposed in the middle of the support groove. The support groove supports the layered plate, thereby improving the stability of the layered plate.
[0009] Preferably, the positioning strip passes through the middle of the positioning groove and fits into the positioning groove. The top two sides of the layered plate are symmetrically fixed with carrying rods to limit the installation of the layered plate, prevent the layered plate from rotating, and facilitate the operator to install, disassemble and adjust the layered plate through the carrying rods, thereby improving the convenience of using the material silo.
[0010] Preferably, the layered plate is made of heat-insulating material, the second heat-conducting plate is fixed in the middle of the fixing groove, and the top wall of the second heat-conducting plate is on the same horizontal plane as the top wall of the layered plate. The layered plate can separate different raw materials to avoid cross-contamination of odors, microorganisms, etc., ensure the accuracy of the test results of each raw material, and make the temperature of each layer independent and unaffected by each other.
[0011] Preferably, the heat-conducting ring is fixed to the top outer surface of the layered plate, and the heat-conducting ring is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the support groove. The second heat-conducting plate is configured with a fan-shaped structure, and the handle is offset from the second heat-conducting plate. The heat-conducting ring further enhances the heat transfer efficiency between the layered plate and the material hopper, so that the material on the layered plate can better maintain the same temperature control environment as the overall material hopper. The fan-shaped structure of the second heat-conducting plate saves materials and reduces the weight of the layered plate while ensuring the heat conduction effect, making it easier to operate.
[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model firstly uses a support groove and a layered plate to divide the interior of the material bin into layers. The compression of the sealing gasket by the layered plate can improve the sealing strength between the two cavities during testing, so that the temperature between each layer is independent and does not affect each other, avoiding cross-contamination of odors, microorganisms, etc., and ensuring the accuracy of the test results of each raw material. The detection through hole and sealing ring facilitate the detection rod to detect the material in the bottom cavity, realizing the function of separate detection of two materials and improving the use effect.
[0014] 2. This utility model also features a heat-conducting ring and a second heat-conducting plate. When the material at the bottom of the material chamber is being controlled by the first heat-conducting plate, the heat or cold energy can be transferred to the top cavity of the layered plate for temperature control through the cooperation of the heat-conducting ring and the second heat-conducting plate. The layered plate can be easily picked up and placed for use by the handle. The layered plate can be positioned by the cooperation of the positioning strip and the positioning groove, thereby improving the usage effect.
[0015] In summary, through the interaction of the above-mentioned multiple effects, the sealing strength between the two cavities can be improved during testing, and the two materials can be tested separately, thereby improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] As attached Figure 1-3 The illustrated material chamber of a layered deep cavity temperature-controlled activity meter includes a material chamber 1. A support platform 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the material chamber 1, which facilitates the removal of the material chamber 1 from the activity meter placement groove. A first heat-conducting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the material chamber 1, which can quickly and evenly transfer heat or cold to various parts of the material chamber 1, achieving precise control of the internal temperature of the material chamber. A support groove 4 is opened in the inner cavity of the material chamber 1. Positioning strips 5 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the support groove 4. A layered plate 6 is set at the top of the support groove 4, which supports the layered plate 6 and limits the layered plate 6 by the positioning strips 5. A sealing gasket 10 is set at the bottom of the layered plate 6, which improves the sealing strength of the upper and lower cavities of the support groove 4, realizing the independent storage of materials in layers.
[0023] The top of the layered plate 6 is provided with a fixing groove 9, and the middle of the layered plate 6 is provided with a detection through hole 7. The detection through hole 7 allows the detection probe of the activity meter to be directly inserted into the bottom cavity of the layered plate 6 for detection. By compressing the sealing ring 8, a sealing effect is achieved. The sealing ring 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the layered plate 6. The middle of the fixing groove 9 is provided with a second heat-conducting plate 11. The fixing groove 9 provides limiting support for the second heat-conducting plate 11, which is convenient for positioning during fixation. The top of the second heat-conducting plate 11 is fixedly connected with a heat-conducting ring 12. The heat-conducting ring 12 further enhances the heat transfer efficiency between the layered plate 6 and the material bin 1, so that the material on the layered plate can better maintain the same temperature control environment as the overall material bin. The heat-conducting ring 12, the layered plate 6, and the sealing gasket 10 are all provided with positioning grooves 13 at positions corresponding to the positioning strip 5 on both sides, ensuring the stability of the layered plate 6 during installation and use, preventing its displacement in the material bin, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of material layering.
[0024] As attached Figure 1-4As shown, the first heat-conducting plate 2 is located around the perimeter and bottom of the material silo 1. The bottom wall of the support platform 3 is set with an arc-shaped structure. The perimeter of the layered plate 6 is located in the middle of the support groove 4. The sealing gasket 10 is set in the middle of the support groove 4. The positioning strip 5 passes through the middle of the positioning groove 13 and fits into the positioning groove 13. The top two sides of the layered plate 6 are symmetrically fixed with a carrying rod 14. The heat or cold energy is quickly and evenly transferred to various parts of the material silo 1 through the first heat-conducting plate 2, so as to achieve precise control of the internal temperature of the material silo. The support groove 4 supports the layered plate 6, improving the stability of the layered plate 6. The cooperation of the positioning strip 5 and the positioning groove 13 limits the installation of the layered plate 6 to prevent the layered plate 6 from rotating. The carrying rod 14 makes it convenient for operators to install, disassemble and adjust the layered plate, improving the convenience of using the material silo.
[0025] As attached Figure 2-4 As shown, the layered plate 6 is made of heat-insulating material, the second heat-conducting plate 11 is fixed in the middle of the fixing groove 9, the top wall of the second heat-conducting plate 11 is on the same horizontal plane as the top wall of the layered plate 6, the heat-conducting ring 12 is fixed on the top outer surface of the layered plate 6, and the heat-conducting ring 12 is tightly fitted with the inner cavity wall of the support groove 4. The second heat-conducting plate 11 is set as a fan-shaped structure, and the handle 14 is offset from the second heat-conducting plate 11. Different raw materials can be separated by the layered plate 6 to avoid cross-contamination of odors, microorganisms, etc., to ensure the accuracy of the test results of each raw material, and to make the temperature between each layer independent and unaffected. The heat-conducting ring 12 further enhances the heat transfer efficiency between the layered plate 6 and the material bin 1, so that the material on the layered plate can better maintain the same temperature control environment as the overall material bin. The fan-shaped structure of the second heat-conducting plate 11 saves materials and reduces the weight of the layered plate while ensuring the heat conduction effect, making it easy to operate.
[0026] It is worth noting that the first heat-conducting plate 2, the second heat-conducting plate 11, and the heat-conducting ring 12 are all made of highly thermally conductive metals, such as copper, aluminum, gold-plated copper, etc.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, different materials are placed in the upper and lower cavities of the layered plate 6, and then the layered plate 6 is installed inside the material bin 1. The layered plate 6 can be easily picked up and placed by the handle 14, and the layered plate 6 can be easily positioned by the positioning strip 5 and the positioning groove 13. The heat conduction ring 12 and the second heat conduction plate 11 can transfer external heat or cooling to the top cavity of the layered plate 6, which is convenient for use.
[0028] Place the material chamber 1 stably inside the detection groove of the temperature-controlled activity meter, and cover it with the cover plate so that the detection end is located at the top of the material chamber 1. At the same time, make one end of the middle detection rod pass through the detection through hole 7 and squeeze the sealing ring 8. The material inside the two cavities can be detected through one end of the detection rod and the detection end located at the top of the material chamber 1.
[0029] When the external temperature control device is activated, the cold or heat energy can be transferred sequentially to the interior cavity of the material hopper 1 through the first heat conduction plate 2. The detection end can ensure that the temperature inside the material hopper is uniform and can stably reach and maintain the target temperature.
[0030] During the testing process, the sealing ring 8 is squeezed, which in turn causes the layered plate 6 to squeeze the sealing gasket 10, thereby improving the sealing strength of the layer and enhancing the testing effect.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
