[0020] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an odor collection device for aromatherapy quality inspection includes a U-shaped frame 1, which is fixed to the top surface of a mounting base 2. An L-shaped frame 3 is fixed to the top surface of the mounting base 2. A PLC controller 4, model Siemens S7-200, is fixed to the right side of the outer wall of the mounting base 2. A conveyor belt 5 is provided inside the mounting base 2 and is electrically connected to the PLC controller 4. An infrared sensor 6, model OMRON, is fixed to the front side of the U-shaped frame 1. In the E3Z, infrared sensor 6 is electrically connected to PLC controller 4. A guide rail 7 is fixed to the front of L-shaped frame 3, and the guide rail 7 is electrically connected to PLC controller 4. A connecting plate 8 is fixed to the front of the slider of guide rail 7. A finger cylinder 9 is movably installed below the connecting plate 8 and is electrically connected to PLC controller 4. A collection box 10 is fixed to the right side of the outer wall of mounting base 2. A sealing plate 11 is rotatably installed on the top surface of collection box 10. A metering pump 12 is fixed to the right side of collection box 10. A connecting pipe 13 is fixed between metering pump 12 and collection box 10. A support plate 14 is fixed to the right side of collection box 10. A collection bottle 15 is provided on the top surface of support plate 14. A delivery pipe 16 is provided between collection bottle 15 and metering pump 12.
[0022] In operation, once the production line starts, the aromatherapy product is conveyed via conveyor belt 5. When the aromatherapy product passes under infrared sensor 6, the infrared sensor 6 captures the product's position information and transmits this information to PLC controller 4 in real time. After receiving the signal, PLC controller 4 automatically stops conveyor belt 5 after a three-second delay, ensuring the aromatherapy product is positioned directly under finger cylinder 9. Subsequently, PLC controller 4 activates finger cylinder 9, causing its two sliders to move closer together and clamp the aromatherapy product. Then, under the control of PLC controller 4, guide rail 7 starts moving, and its sliders move to the right along guide rail 7. The connecting plate 8, the finger cylinder 9, and the scented oil being held together are moved to the top of the collection box 10. After reaching the designated position, the finger cylinder 9 releases its grip, and the scented oil falls into the collection box 10. Then, the sealing plate 11 is closed to tightly seal the opening of the collection box 10. Subsequently, the metering pump 12 is started, and the air (including the scented oil) inside the collection box 10 is quantitatively extracted through the connecting pipe 13 and transported to the collection bottle 15 through the delivery pipe 16 to complete the collection of the scented oil. Finally, the staff only needs to separate the collection bottle 15 from the delivery pipe 16 and seal it with a bottle stopper (not shown in the figure) to send the collected sample for testing. By using the PLC controller 4, conveyor belt 5, infrared sensor 6, guide rail 7, connecting plate 8, finger cylinder 9, collection box 10, sealing plate 11, metering pump 12, connecting pipe 13, collection bottle 15, and delivery pipe 16 in combination, the aromatherapy scent collection process is automated. This not only improves production efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and lowers the labor intensity of workers, but also improves the accuracy and consistency of the collection process, ensuring the quality of the collected samples and providing reliable data support for subsequent quality testing.
[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an electric push rod 17 is fixed on the top surface of the connecting plate 8. The electric push rod 17 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 4. One end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 17 passes through the connecting plate 8 and is fixed with a movable plate 18. The bottom surface of the movable plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the finger cylinder 9.
[0024] During use, when the aromatherapy diffuser moves to the bottom of the finger cylinder 9, the PLC controller 4 starts the electric push rod 17 according to the preset program, which drives the moving plate 18 and the finger cylinder 9 fixed on the bottom surface of the moving plate 18 to move downward. Since the extension length of the electric push rod 17 can be adjusted according to different aromatherapy diffuser heights, the finger cylinder 9 can automatically adapt to aromatherapy diffusers of different heights and accurately clamp them, thus improving the versatility and flexibility of the device.
[0025] like Figures 1-4As shown, a limiting hole 19 is provided on the top surface of the connecting plate 8. A limiting post 20 is slidably inserted inside the limiting hole 19. The bottom end of the limiting post 20 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the moving plate 18. Two support seats 21 are fixed on the top surface of the acquisition box 10. A drive motor 22 is fixed on the right side of the right support seat 21. The drive motor 22 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 4. The output shaft of the drive motor 22 passes through the support seat 21 and is fixedly connected to the right side of the sealing plate 11.
[0026] During use, the combination of the limiting hole 19 and the limiting post 20 helps to limit the movement plate 18, preventing the movement plate 18 and the finger cylinder 9 from shifting or shaking during lifting and lowering, thus improving the stability during clamping. After the finger cylinder 9 places the clamped aromatherapy product inside the collection box 10, the PLC controller 4 immediately starts the drive motor 22. The output shaft of the drive motor 22 begins to rotate, driving the sealing plate 11 to rotate, gradually closing the opening of the collection box 10, ultimately achieving a tight seal on the collection box 10. This effectively prevents the aromatherapy scent from escaping, ensuring the purity and accuracy of the collected aromatherapy scent samples and avoiding sample contamination or loss due to scent escaping.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the support plate 14 is provided with a placement groove 23, and a first magnet 24 is fixed inside the placement groove 23. A second magnet 25 is fixed on the bottom surface of the collection bottle 15. The second magnet 25 is magnetically attracted to the first magnet 24. A sealing ring 26 is fixed on the front side of the sealing plate 11.
[0028] In use, the combined use of the placement slot 23, the first magnet 24, and the second magnet 25 facilitates the rapid and stable fixing of the collection bottle 15 on the support plate 14, ensuring the stability of the collection bottle 15 during the collection process. When the drive motor 22 rotates the sealing plate 11 to close the opening of the collection box 10, the sealing ring 26 fits tightly against the edge of the opening of the collection box 10, forming a reliable sealing barrier, further improving the sealing effect of the collection box 10 and effectively preventing the fragrance from leaking from the opening of the collection box 10.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
