Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of monitoring devices, specifically relating to an online monitoring device for egg liquid flow direction. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, egg liquid is an important raw material widely used in baked goods, beverages and nutritional products. The production process of egg liquid involves multiple steps such as pasteurization, filtration, stirring and filling. The egg liquid is transported between these steps through a complex pipeline network. In this process, real-time and accurate monitoring of the egg liquid flow is crucial. This not only ensures the continuity of the production process but also effectively avoids problems such as product contamination, substandard quality and production interruption caused by incorrect flow.

[0003] Currently, egg flow monitoring technology includes monitoring using electromagnetic flow meters. However, electromagnetic flow meters have a relatively simple monitoring function, lacking multiple monitoring structures and corresponding stop-flow structures. This makes it impossible to monitor egg flow in multiple ways and stop the flow of egg flow in case of abnormalities. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an online monitoring device for egg liquid flow to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An online monitoring device for egg liquid flow includes an electromagnetic flow meter, a transparent tube, and a visual monitoring camera. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the electromagnetic flow meter, and a valve body is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting pipe. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the valve body, and a valve stem is movably installed inside the valve body, with the valve stem fixedly connected to the drive motor. A transparent tube is fixedly connected to one side of the electromagnetic flow meter, and a microcontroller is installed at one end of the transparent tube. Fixing plates are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both the connecting pipe and the transparent tube. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to one end of each fixing plate, and a visual monitoring camera is fixedly connected inside the connecting rod at one end of the transparent tube. A support plate is movably installed at the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0007] Preferably, the transparent tube is made of tempered glass.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing bolt is movably mounted on the surface of the fixing plate, and one end of the fixing bolt is in contact with the surface of the support plate.

[0009] Preferably, a protective plate is movably mounted on the surface of the transparent tube at one end of the microcontroller, and the protective plate has heat dissipation grooves inside.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting flange is fixedly connected to one side of the valve body, and a fixing hole is provided inside the connecting flange.

[0011] Preferably, a fixing flange is fixedly connected to one side of the transparent tube, and the fixing flange has a bolt hole inside.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention utilizes a valve stem, valve body, motor, and transparent tube, along with dual monitoring by an electromagnetic flowmeter and a visual monitoring camera. Flow data and image information are transmitted to a microcontroller for analysis. When foreign objects, abnormal color, or abnormal flow direction are detected in the egg liquid, the drive motor is automatically controlled to close the valve body and stop the delivery. This effectively prevents abnormal egg liquid from affecting subsequent processing quality and also improves the accuracy of egg liquid monitoring, ensuring product quality.

[0020] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 As shown:

[0024] Example 1: This example provides an online monitoring device for egg liquid flow direction, including an electromagnetic flow meter 6, a transparent tube 7, and a visual monitoring camera 8; a connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the electromagnetic flow meter 6, a valve body 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting pipe 5, a drive motor 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the valve body 1, a valve stem 102 is movably installed inside the valve body 1, and the valve stem 102 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 101; a transparent tube 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the electromagnetic flow meter 6, a microcontroller 9 is provided at one end of the transparent tube 7, a fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of both the connecting pipe 5 and the transparent tube 7, a connecting rod 302 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate 3, a visual monitoring camera 8 is fixedly connected inside the connecting rod 302 at one end of the transparent tube 7, a support plate 4 is movably installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 3, and the transparent tube 7 is made of tempered glass.

[0025] The staff first connects the device to the external egg liquid delivery pipeline. When the egg liquid flows to the online monitoring device, the electromagnetic flowmeter 6 measures the egg liquid flow rate in real time and accurately based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, and transmits the data to the microcontroller 9. The visual monitoring camera 8 is connected to the external visual monitoring system. The visual monitoring camera 8 takes real-time pictures of the flow status of the egg liquid in the transparent tube 7, including whether there are foreign objects, whether the color is normal, whether the flow rate is uniform, and whether the egg liquid has layered, and transmits the image information to the microcontroller 9.

[0026] After receiving data from the electromagnetic flowmeter 6 and the visual monitoring camera 8, the microcontroller 9 analyzes and processes the data using internally preset algorithms and programs to determine whether the flow of the egg liquid is normal. If foreign objects, abnormal color, or abnormal flow rate or direction are detected in the egg liquid, the microcontroller 9 will immediately issue a control command. This command is transmitted to the drive motor 101, which starts upon receiving the command, driving the valve stem 102 to rotate and gradually reduce the opening and closing degree of the valve body 1 until it is completely closed, thereby stopping the delivery of the egg liquid. Through dual monitoring and automatic stopping of delivery, abnormal egg liquid can be effectively prevented from affecting the subsequent processing quality. With the cooperation of the fixed plate 3 and the support plate 4, the entire device can be stably installed, ensuring the continuous and reliable operation of monitoring and abnormal handling. The device can also be connected to external IoT devices, enabling the device's monitoring data to be transmitted via the Internet of Things.

[0027] Specifically, a fixing bolt 301 is movably mounted on the surface of the fixing plate 3, and one end of the fixing bolt 301 is in contact with the surface of the support plate 4.

[0028] The staff screwed the fixing bolt 301 into contact with the support plate 4, which increased the friction between the support plate 4 and the fixing plate 3, thereby limiting the position of the support plate 4.

[0029] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that a protective plate 11 is movably mounted on the surface of the transparent tube 7 at one end of the microcontroller 9, and a heat dissipation groove is provided inside the protective plate 11.

[0030] The heat generated by the microcontroller 9 during operation is discharged through the heat dissipation slots set inside the protective plate 11.

[0031] Specifically, a connecting flange 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the valve body 1, and a fixing hole is provided inside the connecting flange 2.

[0032] The staff connects the external egg liquid conveying pipe to the connecting flange 2, and then screws the external fixing bolts into the connection flange 2 and the egg liquid conveying pipe and through the fixing hole to fix one end of the device to the external egg liquid conveying pipe.

[0033] Specifically, a fixing flange 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the transparent tube 7, and a bolt hole is provided inside the fixing flange 10.

[0034] The staff connects the external egg liquid conveying pipe to the fixed flange 10, and then screws the external fixing bolts into the space between the fixed flange 10 and the egg liquid conveying pipe and through the bolt holes, thus fixing the other end of the device to the external egg liquid conveying pipe.

Therefore, this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, but extends to various modifications that still fall within the scope of the appended claims.
