[0023] like Figure 1As shown, a peanut oil aflatoxin degradation machine includes a casing 1, which serves as the supporting and protective structure for the entire device, providing installation space for internal components. The casing 1 has an oil inlet 11 and an oil outlet 12 for the entry and exit of peanut oil, respectively. The casing 1 also houses an oil pump 2, an oil pan 3, a weighing device 4, an oil pump 5, an ultraviolet lamp 6, and a control unit 7. The oil pan 3 has an oil inlet end 31 and an oil outlet end 32. The oil pump 2 is connected to the oil inlet 11 and the oil inlet end 31 of the oil pan 3 via an oil delivery pipe. The oil inlet 11 is connected to an external device such as an oil drum containing peanut oil via an oil delivery pipe, allowing the peanut oil to be drawn from the oil inlet 11 and transported to the oil pan 3. The oil outlet end 32 of the oil pan 3 is connected to the weighing device 4 via an oil delivery pipe, allowing the treated peanut oil to flow from the oil pan 3 into the weighing device 4 for weighing. Oil pump 5 is connected to the weighing device 4 and oil outlet 12 via an oil delivery pipe, discharging the measured peanut oil from outlet 12. Ultraviolet lamp 6 is used to sterilize the peanut oil in oil pan 3. Ultraviolet irradiation can destroy the molecular structure of aflatoxin, rendering it non-toxic and thus degrading it. Oil pump 2, ultraviolet lamp 6, weighing device 4, and oil pump 5 are electrically connected to control unit 7, which precisely regulates the working sequence and operating parameters of each component to ensure the efficient and stable degradation of aflatoxin in the peanut oil. The specific workflow is as follows:

[0024] (1) First, insert the oil inlet 11 into the oil drum containing the peanut oil to be treated. Through the operation interface of the control unit 7, set the flow rate and flow of the oil pump 2, the irradiation time and intensity of the ultraviolet lamp 6, and other parameters. Adjust the parameters reasonably according to the initial aflatoxin content of the peanut oil and the treatment requirements to achieve the best degradation effect. (2) Control the oil pump 2 and the ultraviolet lamp 6 to start through the control unit 7. Driven by the oil pump 2, the peanut oil enters the system from the oil inlet 11 and is transported to the oil inlet end 31 of the oil pan 3 through the oil inlet pipe at a stable flow rate and flow. The peanut oil is evenly spread in the oil pan 3 to form a thin layer, which is fully exposed to the subsequent ultraviolet sterilization and disinfection treatment environment. At the same time, the ultraviolet lamp 6 releases a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light beam to irradiate the peanut oil in the oil pan 3. The light beam can penetrate the peanut oil thin layer and destroy the DNA or RNA structure of microorganisms such as aflatoxin, so that they lose their ability to reproduce and survive, thereby achieving the purpose of degrading aflatoxin and sterilizing and disinfecting. The irradiation angle and intensity of the ultraviolet lamp 6 are specially designed to ensure that the peanut oil in the oil pan 3 can be irradiated from all directions without dead angles. (3) After the ultraviolet sterilization and disinfection treatment is completed, the peanut oil flows out from the oil outlet 32 ​​of the oil pan 3 and enters the weighing device 4 through the oil delivery pipe. The weighing device 4 measures the weight of the peanut oil and feeds the data back to the control unit 7 to complete the accurate weight measurement. (4) Finally, the control unit 7 controls the oil pump 5 to start according to the preset weight parameters. Under the action of the oil pump 5, the peanut oil is output from the oil outlet 12 through the oil delivery pipe to complete the entire processing process.

[0025] It should be noted that the weighing device 4 employs strain gauge sensor technology: its core component is a high-precision resistance strain gauge. When peanut oil flows into the weighing container of the weighing device 4, the elastic body at the bottom of the container deforms, causing a change in the resistance of the strain gauge attached to the elastic body. This change in resistance is converted into a voltage signal via a Wheatstone bridge, and after being processed by an amplifier circuit and an A / D conversion module, it is transmitted to the control unit 7 as a digital signal. The weighing device 4 is configured to monitor the weight of the flowing peanut oil in real time and transmit the data to the control unit 7. The user can preset the target weight of the peanut oil to be processed through the control unit 7. When the weighing device 4 detects that the total weight of the flowing peanut oil reaches the preset value, it immediately sends a signal to the control unit 7. After receiving the signal, the control unit 7 precisely controls the start and stop of the oil pump 5 to achieve quantitative output of peanut oil.

[0026] This application utilizes a reasonable structural design and ultraviolet lamp 6 to sterilize and disinfect peanut oil, achieving efficient degradation of aflatoxin in peanut oil without introducing chemical residues, thus ensuring the quality and safety of peanut oil for consumption. It also has the advantages of simple operation, high processing efficiency, and low cost.

[0027] It should be noted that the control unit 7 adopts a modular design, mainly consisting of a main control chip module, a sensor signal processing module, an actuator drive module, and a human-machine interface module. The main control chip module is equipped with a high-performance microprocessor and a built-in dedicated peanut oil aflatoxin degradation control algorithm, enabling precise control of the entire machine's operation based on preset parameters and real-time monitoring data. The sensor signal processing module is connected to the weighing instrument 4, responsible for filtering, amplifying, and other preprocessing of the weighing data before transmitting it to the main control chip; this module also reserves multiple signal interfaces for expansion to connect environmental monitoring sensors such as temperature and humidity sensors. The actuator drive module contains independent power drive circuits, providing stable and controllable drive signals to the oil inlet pump 2, oil outlet pump 5, and ultraviolet lamp 6, achieving precise start / stop and power adjustment. The human-machine interface module integrates buttons and a touchscreen, allowing operators to set parameters such as oil intake and ultraviolet irradiation duration via the buttons and touchscreen.

[0028] In the specific implementation process of this application, see [link / reference]. Figure 2 The oil pan 3 has an S-shaped bend in the oil delivery channel, with the inlet 31 and outlet 32 ​​at its two ends. The S-shaped bend effectively extends the flow path and residence time of peanut oil in the oil pan 3, allowing the ultraviolet lamp 6 to irradiate the peanut oil more fully and significantly improving the degradation efficiency of aflatoxin.

[0029] In the specific implementation of this application, the oil pan 3 is horizontally positioned, and the ultraviolet lamp 6 is positioned above the oil pan 3. The ultraviolet lamp 6 is a matrix irradiation module composed of 12 sets of UV-C band ultraviolet lamps, with the spacing between adjacent lamps strictly controlled at 150mm, forming a uniform irradiation area covering a diameter of 800mm. This spatial layout design allows ultraviolet light to uniformly cover the peanut oil in the oil pan 3 at a vertical incident angle, effectively eliminating irradiation blind spots and ensuring that ultraviolet light can uniformly irradiate the peanut oil in the oil pan 3 during the flow of peanut oil, achieving uniformity and stability in the degradation effect of aflatoxin.

[0030] In the specific implementation of this application, a limiting guide rail 13 is provided in the chassis 1, and the oil pan 3 is detachably inserted into the limiting guide rail 13. When it is necessary to clean or maintain the oil pan 3, the oil pan 3 can be removed from the limiting guide rail 13 of the chassis 1, which is convenient and quick. After cleaning and maintenance, the oil pan 3 can be reinserted into the limiting guide rail 13, and the equipment can continue to be used. This design facilitates the disassembly and installation of the oil pan 3, makes it convenient to clean and maintain the oil pan 3, and improves the service life of the equipment.

[0031] In the specific implementation of this application, the chassis 1 is also equipped with a fan 8, which can promote the air circulation inside the chassis 1, reduce the temperature inside the chassis 1, and remove the heat generated by the ultraviolet lamp 6 during operation, so as to ensure that the various components of the equipment work in a suitable temperature environment and improve the stability of equipment operation.

[0032] In this application, a temperature sensor is also installed in the chassis 1, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control unit 7. The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature inside the chassis 1 in real time and feed the temperature data back to the control unit 7. When the temperature is too high, the control unit 7 can ensure the safe operation of the equipment by controlling the fan 8 to accelerate its operation, controlling the flow rate of the oil pump 2, or taking measures such as stopping the machine when the temperature exceeds the limit.

[0033] It should also be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of this utility model and the features therein can be combined with each other to obtain new embodiments.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. The scope of protection of the present utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
