Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toothpaste production technology, specifically a toothpaste sampling and testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Toothpaste is a type of dental cleaning product, generally in gel form. It is usually applied to a toothbrush, where the mechanical friction of the brush cleans the surface of the teeth and surrounding areas, leaving the mouth feeling clean and refreshed. The toothpaste production process includes a paste-making process and a packaging process. The paste-making process involves multiple steps to transform the raw materials into a finished product. This finished product is then processed through a filling machine, and after filling, the weight and sealing of the finished toothpaste are checked by a testing device.

[0003] Utility model patent application number 2022232872846 discloses a sampling and testing device for toothpaste production, including a base, a shelf on top of the base, a weighing device mounted on top of the base with its top contacting the bottom of the shelf, guide rods mounted at the bottom corners of the shelf, and through holes evenly spaced on the top of the base. The bottom of the guide rods is placed within the through holes and slides in cooperation with them. While the weighing device can detect the weight of the toothpaste box after filling, the shelf and pressure plate can be used to test the sealing performance of the toothpaste box.

[0004] However, in practical applications, the device requires manual sampling from the conveyor belt and then taking it to the testing device for testing. Furthermore, the tested toothpaste needs to be manually returned to the conveyor belt or the next workstation, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a toothpaste sampling and testing device.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a toothpaste sampling and testing device, including a frame, a conveyor belt installed inside the frame, and a testing mechanism provided on the outside;

[0007] The detection mechanism includes a horizontal plate installed on the side of the frame, and an installation plate extending above the horizontal plate is provided above the frame. A linear motor is installed at the bottom of the installation plate, and the output end of the linear motor is connected to an inverted U-shaped material picking frame.

[0008] Two through slots are provided on the horizontal plate. An electronic scale is embedded in one through slot, and a pressing plate is movably installed in the other through slot. An L-shaped positioning frame is fixed to the bottom of the horizontal plate on one side of the through slot. An electric push rod is installed on the positioning frame, and the movable end of the electric push rod is connected to the pressing plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is fixedly attached to the side of the frame below the horizontal plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting plate is mounted on top of the frame and the cross plate by multiple fixing brackets.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the extrusion plate is the same as the width inside the material picking frame, and the length of the extrusion plate is greater than the length of the material picking frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting plate has symmetrical pads fixed to the bottom of the linear motor on both sides. The pads are located directly above the extrusion plate, and the thickness of the pads is the same as the distance between the material picking frame and the mounting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a discharge chute is installed at the end of the cross plate away from the frame.

[0014] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: This invention can achieve mechanized sampling and testing of toothpaste through the combination of a linear motor, a material picking frame, an electronic scale, and a pressing plate. After the testing is completed, the toothpaste can be directly returned to the conveyor belt, making it convenient to operate and more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a toothpaste sampling and testing device includes a frame 1, a conveyor belt 2 installed inside the frame 1, and a testing component on the outside.

[0021] The testing mechanism includes a horizontal plate 3 installed on the side of the frame 1, and a mounting plate 4 extending above the horizontal plate 3 on the top of the frame 1. A reinforcing plate 11 is fixed to the side of the frame 1 below the horizontal plate 3. The mounting plate 4 is installed on the top of the frame 1 and the horizontal plate 3 by multiple fixing brackets 12. A linear motor 5 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The output end of the linear motor 5 is connected to an inverted U-shaped material picking frame 6.

[0022] When the toothpaste on the conveyor belt 2 moves to the inside of the picking frame 6, the linear motor 5 drives the picking frame 6 to move quickly, which can deliver the toothpaste to the top of the horizontal plate 3 to achieve sampling.

[0023] Two through slots are provided on the horizontal plate 3. An electronic scale 7 is embedded in one through slot, and an extrusion plate 8 is movably installed in the other through slot. The width of the extrusion plate 8 is the same as the width of the inside of the material picking frame 6, and the length of the extrusion plate 8 is greater than the length of the material picking frame 6. An L-shaped positioning frame 9 is fixed to one side of the through slot at the bottom of the horizontal plate 3. An electric push rod 10 is installed on the positioning frame 9. The movable end of the electric push rod 10 is connected to the extrusion plate 8. Pads 13 are symmetrically fixed to both sides of the linear motor 5 at the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The pads 13 are located directly above the extrusion plate 8, and the thickness of the pads 13 is the same as the distance between the material picking frame 6 and the mounting plate 4. A discharge chute 14 is installed at the end of the horizontal plate 3 away from the frame 1.

[0024] When the toothpaste moves above the electronic scale 7, the electronic scale 7 can weigh the toothpaste; when the picking frame 6 moves the toothpaste above the extrusion plate 8 and the extrusion plate 8 is located inside the picking frame 6, the electric push rod 10 extends to make the extrusion plate 8 move upward, which, in conjunction with the picking frame 6, can realize the sealing extrusion test of the toothpaste.

[0025] In practical use, this device is controlled by an external PLC controller. When sampling and testing are required, the testing personnel observe the toothpaste moving to the inside of the picking frame 6 and control the linear motor 5 to drive the picking frame 6 to move quickly, moving the toothpaste above the electronic scale 7 for weight testing. If the test is qualified, the toothpaste is moved to the top of the extrusion plate 8. If the test is unqualified, the toothpaste is directly moved to the discharge trough 14 for discharge. The electric push rod 10 extends, causing the extrusion plate 8 to move upward, cooperating with the picking frame 6 to perform a sealing and extrusion test on the toothpaste. The qualified toothpaste is moved by the picking frame 6 to the conveyor belt 2, and the unqualified toothpaste is moved to the discharge trough 14 for discharge.
