[0024] Example:

[0025] See attached Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a portable meat sampler, including a support 1, which is a hollow cuboid structure. A pressing component and a sampling component are mounted on the support 1. The pressing component drives the sampling component to sample the target meat. The sampling component consists of a cutting head 4 and a sample pusher 2. The cutting head 4 is a square cutting blade that matches the shape of the support 1 and is detachably connected to the bottom of the support 1. Specifically, corresponding threaded holes are provided at the bottom of the support 1 and the upper end of the square cutting blade, and the detachable connection is achieved by bolts. The square cutting blade can cut regular samples from the target meat, avoiding waste and reducing consumer aversion to the sampling port. The cutting head 4 is located at the bottom of the support 1, and the sample remains inside the hollow part of the support 1 after being cut. The sample pusher 2 pushes the sample out of the support 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, the pusher 2 includes a push rod 21 and a guide frame 22. The guide frame 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the support 1. The guide frame 22 has a cross-shaped structure, with its four ends bent vertically downwards and fitted into the top opening of the support 1. Threaded holes are provided on its four ends, and corresponding threaded holes are also provided on the four sides of the support 1. A fixed and detachable connection is achieved by bolts. The guide frame 22 connects to the top opening of the support 1, reinforcing the support 1 and improving its stability. A guide cylinder is provided in the center of the cross of the guide frame 22, and the push rod 21 is provided inside the guide cylinder. The push rod 21 is located inside the support 1 and can move up and down along the guide cylinder. A waist-shaped hole is provided on one side of the support 1 along its length. An external handle 23 is provided on the push rod 21. The external handle 23 is detachably connected to the push rod 21 perpendicularly, and the external handle 23 extends out of the support 1 through the waist-shaped hole. By controlling the external handle 23 to move up and down along the vertical direction of the support 1, the push rod 21 can be moved up and down. The downward movement of the push rod 21 can push the meat sample in the support 1 out of the support 1. The detachable connection between the external handle 23 and the push rod 21 can be configured as follows: the push rod 21 has an internal threaded hole, and one end of the external handle 23 is configured as an external threaded rod structure. During installation, the internal threaded hole of the push rod 21 is adjusted to face the waist-shaped hole, and then the external handle 23 is passed through the waist-shaped hole from outside the support 1 to engage with the internal threaded hole of the push rod 21, and then rotated to fix it. This configuration facilitates the replacement of the external handle 23.

[0027] In this embodiment, the bottom of the push rod 21 is provided with a top plate. The shape of the top plate is rectangular, matching the cross-section of the support 1, and its area is slightly smaller than the cross-section of the support 1. It can move up and down inside the support 1. The top plate makes it easier to push the meat sample out and ensures that the pushed meat sample is intact, avoiding leaving marks on the meat sample when pushed directly by the push rod 21. Furthermore, the top plate is provided with an exhaust hole. When the target meat is cut, the air between it and the top plate can be smoothly discharged through the exhaust hole from the waist-shaped hole and the top of the support 1, avoiding air resistance caused by the inability to discharge air or slow discharge, which would affect the sampling operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, the connection between the cutting head 4 and the bracket 1 is configured with a stepped fit structure, which reduces bolt shear stress. The stepped fit alters the force transmission path. When the cutting head 4 is working, the external force is no longer entirely borne by the bolt, but is partially transmitted to the bracket 1 through the step. For example, the lateral force generated during cutting can be partially borne by the side of the step, reducing the shear force on the bolt, thereby reducing the risk of bolt damage due to excessive shear stress, extending bolt service life, and ensuring the reliability of the connection between the cutting head 4 and the bracket 1. In addition, the stepped fit can position the cutting head 4, restricting its movement and rotation on the bracket 1. At the same time, the step increases the contact area between the cutting head 4 and the bracket 1, resulting in more uniform force distribution. Due to the reduced bolt shear stress, the risk of the cutting head 4 falling off due to bolt breakage is reduced, improving safety in use.

[0029] In this embodiment, the pressing assembly includes a pressing frame 3, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support 1 by welding. The top of the pressing frame 3 is designed to be as wide as possible to reduce the pressure on the operator and protect the operator. Preferably, a rubber pad is provided on the upper surface of the top to further improve the operator's comfort and facilitate the application of force to efficiently cut the meat sample. The top of the pressing frame 3 is positioned on the moving path of the push rod 21, that is, the top of the pressing frame 3 is above the push rod 21, which can limit the stroke of the push rod 21. Furthermore, the connection position of the external handle 23 to the push rod 21 is designed so that when the top of the push rod 21 contacts the top of the pressing frame 3, the external handle 23 is lower than the highest point of the oblong hole, which can prevent the push rod 21 from pushing upward too much during the sampling process and damaging the external handle 23.

[0030] In this embodiment, the external handle 23 is provided with a rubber sleeve, which can improve the comfort of the staff.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
