Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a monitoring device, specifically a device for real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity of brewing raw material silos, belonging to the technical field of monitoring devices. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing industry, the quality of stored raw materials directly determines the efficiency of subsequent fermentation and the quality of the finished product. As the core equipment for raw material storage, the real-time and accurate monitoring of internal temperature and humidity parameters in silos is a key link to ensure the stability of raw materials. To this end, the industry widely uses devices for real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity in brewing raw material silos. By deploying temperature sensors, humidity sensors, data acquisition modules, and transmission modules inside the silos, the real-time acquisition, transmission, and analysis of temperature and humidity data can be achieved. This data then guides ventilation, cooling, dehumidification, and other control operations to prevent raw materials from becoming moldy, clumping, or losing nutrients due to abnormal temperature and humidity.

[0003] However, most existing monitoring devices have various problems. For example, in the grain warehouse temperature and humidity monitoring device disclosed in announcement number CN223216931U, although it can detect the temperature and humidity at different locations on different longitudinal planes in the grain warehouse body, ensuring the comprehensiveness and quality of temperature and humidity detection, in this technical solution and most current monitoring devices, the monitoring device needs to integrate multiple functional components, such as sensor probes, acquisition modules and power supply units. The components need to be connected by wires to achieve power supply and data transmission. The gap between the wires and the base is inevitable. In order to prevent the wires from being displaced or pulled due to their own weight, silo vibration or airflow disturbance, or even damaged or poorly contacted due to uneven force at the gap, which would lead to interruption or distortion of monitoring data, the existing technology generally uses a support device to position and fix the wires to ensure the regularity of the wire arrangement and connection stability.

[0004] However, in actual application scenarios, there are significant differences in the wire specifications of different functional components inside the monitoring device. Contrary to this, most of the wire support devices used in the industry currently adopt a uniform size design, with cylindrical support structures of uniform diameter being the most common. This type of structure supports the wires by using through holes with a preset fixed inner diameter, and its size cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the actual diameter of the wires.

[0005] For thin wires with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the through-hole in the support structure, there is a large gap between the wire and the inner wall of the through-hole. The support device cannot effectively clamp and limit the wire, which is prone to shaking and displacement within the through-hole. Even slight vibrations in the silo can cause pulling at the interface between the wire and the component, compromising connection stability. For thick wires with a diameter close to or slightly larger than the inner diameter of the through-hole, forcibly inserting them may cause wear on the wire insulation layer, increasing the risk of short circuits. If a support structure with a larger inner diameter is used to accommodate the thick wires, it will further exacerbate the problem of fixing the thin wires. Therefore, the existing support device cannot meet the fixing requirements of wires with different diameters, resulting in some wires not being able to be stably fixed. This not only affects the long-term reliable operation of the monitoring device, but may also cause abnormal monitoring data due to loose or damaged wires, posing a potential threat to the safety of brewing raw material storage. It is difficult to meet the technical requirements of the brewing industry for high stability and high adaptability of temperature and humidity monitoring devices. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technologies are too simplistic. Specifically, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a device for real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity of brewing raw material silos.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

The wire bundle assembly is disposed inside the integrated box and the wires are connected to the wire bundle assembly.

[0009] The wire harness assembly includes a support frame, clamps, abutment plates, a transmission rod, and a pressure adjusting block. The support frame is fixed inside the integrated box and located between two adjacent components. The clamps are rotatably connected to the support frame and are symmetrically arranged in two. The abutment plates are located at the top of the clamps and abut against the wires. The transmission rod is rotatably connected inside the transmission rod.

The limiting protrusion has a strip-shaped structure and a through hole is provided through the center of the pressure regulating block. The transmission rod slides in the through hole, and a rectangular groove is provided on the inner wall of the through hole. The limiting protrusion slides in the rectangular groove.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the wire harness assembly further includes a worm gear and a worm, the worm gear being coaxially fixed to one end of the transmission rod, and the worm being rotatably connected inside the support frame and meshing with the worm gear.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the wire harness assembly further includes a positioning groove and an adjusting screw. The positioning groove is located at one end of the pressure adjusting block and has an annular structure. A screw hole is provided through one side of the support frame. The adjusting screw is threaded into the screw hole, and one end of the adjusting screw is slidably engaged in the positioning groove.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: a guide rod is fixed on the side of the abutment plate near the clamping plate, the guide rod is slidably connected to the clamping plate, and a buffer spring is provided between the clamping plate and the abutment plate.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bottom end of the clamping plate is rotatably connected to an abutting turntable, the abutting turntable rolls against the outer wall of the pressure regulating block, and a return spring is provided between two adjacent clamping plates.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this invention: the monitoring component also integrates a data acquisition module for analog-to-digital conversion and data preprocessing, a transmission module for sending data to a remote monitoring terminal, and a power supply unit for providing power; the data acquisition module is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity sensor, the transmission module is a wireless transmission module, and the power supply unit is a rechargeable battery or an external power interface.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] In this invention, a wire harness assembly is provided, and the pressure adjusting block in the assembly drives two adjacent clamping plates to rotate. The abutment plate then clamps and locks the wire. A worm gear and worm combination forms a self-locking structure, which allows for adjustment of the radial angle of the pressure adjusting block. Simultaneously, the adjusting screw pushes the pressure adjusting block to slide, thereby adjusting the axial position of the pressure adjusting block. This allows the clamping force of the clamping plates to be precisely and adaptively adjusted according to the thickness of the wire. This effectively avoids the problem of the wire being damaged due to excessive clamping force or failing to be firmly fixed due to insufficient clamping force. It is simple, efficient, and practical.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a device for real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity in brewing raw material silos includes an integrated box 1, a monitoring component 2, a wire 3, and a wire bundle assembly 4. The monitoring component 2 is located inside the integrated box 1 and integrates a temperature and humidity sensor. The wire 3 is located between multiple components. The wire bundle assembly 4 is located inside the integrated box 1 and the wire 3 is connected to the wire bundle assembly 4.

[0025] The wire harness assembly 4 includes a support frame 41, a clamping plate 42, an abutment plate 43, a transmission rod 44, and a pressure adjusting block 45. The support frame 41 is fixed inside the integrated box 1 and is located between two adjacent components. The clamping plate 42 is rotatably connected to the support frame 41 and is symmetrically arranged in two. The abutment plate 43 is located at the top of the clamping plate 42 and abuts against the wire 3. The transmission rod 44 is rotatably connected inside the transmission rod 44. The conical pressure adjusting block 45 is coaxially arranged on the transmission rod 44 and is located between two adjacent clamping plates 42. The bottom end of the clamping plate 42 slides and abuts against the outer wall of the pressure adjusting block 45.

[0026] A limiting protrusion 46 is provided on the outer wall of the transmission rod 44. The limiting protrusion 46 has a strip-shaped structure and a through hole is provided through the shaft of the pressure regulating block 45. The transmission rod 44 slides with the through hole, and a rectangular slot is provided on the inner wall of the through hole. The limiting protrusion 46 slides with the rectangular slot.

[0027] The cable harness assembly 4 also includes a worm gear 47 and a worm 48. The worm gear 47 is coaxially fixed to one end of the transmission rod 44, and the worm 48 is rotatably connected to the support frame 41 and meshes with the worm gear 47.

[0028] The cable harness assembly 4 also includes a positioning groove 49 and an adjusting screw 410. The positioning groove 49 is located at one end of the pressure adjusting block 45 and has an annular structure. A screw hole is provided through one side of the support frame 41. The adjusting screw 410 is threaded into the screw hole, and one end of the adjusting screw 410 is slidably engaged in the positioning groove 49.

[0029] In this invention, by setting up a wire harness assembly 4, the pressure adjusting block 45 in the wire harness assembly 4 pushes the two adjacent clamping plates 42 to rotate, and then the abutment plate 43 clamps and locks the wire 3. The worm gear 47 and worm 48 are combined to form a self-locking structure, which realizes the adjustment of the radial angle of the pressure adjusting block 45. At the same time, the adjusting screw 410 pushes the pressure adjusting block 45 to slide, realizing the adjustment of the axial position of the pressure adjusting block 45. Thus, the clamping force of the clamping plate 42 can be precisely and adaptively adjusted according to the thickness of the wire 3. This can effectively avoid the problem of the wire 3 being damaged due to excessive clamping force or unable to be firmly fixed due to insufficient clamping force. It is simple, efficient and practical.

[0030] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0031] A guide rod 5 is fixed on the side of the abutment plate 43 near the clamping plate 42. The guide rod 5 is slidably connected to the clamping plate 42, and a buffer spring 6 is provided between the clamping plate 42 and the abutment plate 43. The guide rod 5 guides and supports the abutment plate 43, and the buffer spring 6 enables the abutment plate 43 to slide and buffer to a certain extent when it comes into contact with the wire 3.

[0032] The bottom end of the clamping plate 42 is rotatably connected to the abutment turntable 8, which rolls against the outer wall of the pressure regulating block 45. A return spring 7 is provided between two adjacent clamping plates 42. The wear of the clamping plate 42 is reduced by the rotation of the abutment turntable 8, and the tension of the return spring 7 ensures that the abutment turntable 8 can always abut against the outer wall of the pressure regulating block 45.

[0033] Monitoring component 2 also integrates a data acquisition module for analog-to-digital conversion and data preprocessing, a transmission module for sending data to a remote monitoring terminal, and a power supply unit. The data acquisition module is electrically connected to the temperature and humidity sensor, the transmission module is a wireless transmission module, and the power supply unit is a rechargeable battery or an external power interface. It should be noted that the temperature and humidity sensor is a digital sensor (such as the SHT series or DHT series) that supports I²C or SPI communication protocols. The data acquisition module includes a microcontroller (such as STM32 or ESP32) with multi-channel AD conversion capabilities. The transmission module can be a LoRa, NB-IoT, 4G, or Wi-Fi module that supports cloud platform access. The power supply unit may include a solar charging module or a backup battery system to improve battery life.

[0034] When using this monitoring device, first place the wire 3 between two adjacent clamping plates 42. Then, according to the specific size of the wire 3, rotate the adjusting screw 410 so that the adjusting screw 410 is threaded on the support frame 41 and drives the pressure adjusting block 45 to move axially on the transmission rod 44. After moving to the appropriate position, rotate the worm gear 48 to drive the worm wheel 47 to mesh and link. The worm wheel 47 drives the transmission rod 44 to rotate. The transmission rod 44 drives the pressure adjusting block 45 to deflect synchronously through the limiting protrusion 46, thereby pushing the two adjacent clamping plates 42 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions, so that the abutment plate 43 abuts against the wire 3, and the wire 3 is locked.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
