Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test chambers, and in particular to a shelf-life test chamber for fruit and vegetable juice concentrate. Background Technology

[0002] The shelf life test chamber for fruit and vegetable juice concentrates is a professional device used to simulate different environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, light, etc.) to accelerate the testing of the shelf life and stability of fruit and vegetable juice concentrates.

[0003] However, existing fruit and vegetable juice concentrate preservation test chambers have certain limitations. When it is necessary to place the fruit and vegetable juice concentrate to be tested into the test chamber through an external container, the limited space of the test chamber means that it cannot accommodate a large number of test containers. In addition, some containers are of different sizes, making it inconvenient to test the pH value of the fruit and vegetable juice concentrate in each container at the same time.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to invent a preservation test chamber for fruit and vegetable juice concentrates. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example Reference Figure 1-5 A shelf-life test chamber for fruit and vegetable juice concentrate includes a test chamber 1 and a tray 9. The test chamber 1 has several guide rail grooves 5 evenly distributed on both sides of the internal opening. Several communication male plugs 6 are fixedly installed on the side of the test chamber 1 away from the opening. The communication male plugs 6 correspond to the end of the guide rail groove 5 away from the opening. The tray 9 is slidably installed in the guide rail groove 5. The guide rail groove 5 is designed to facilitate the positioning and disassembly of the tray 9. Specifically, the communication connector 6 is electrically connected to the control system inside the control box 3; Specifically, several containers 10 with their openings facing upwards are evenly arranged on the tray 9 to hold the concentrated fruit and vegetable juice to be tested. Each container 10 is fixedly equipped with a pH probe 11 so that the pH value of the concentrated fruit and vegetable juice can be detected in real time during the test. A communication female socket 12 corresponding to the communication male plug 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the tray 9. The communication female socket 12 is electrically connected to each pH probe 11, and the communication female socket 12 is plugged and plugged into the communication male plug 6. Through this structure, the pH probe 11 can be connected to the control system, and it is also convenient to remove the tray 9 later to clean the containers 10 and pH probe 11. Both tray 9 and container 10 are made of stainless steel with a smooth surface, making them easy to clean and disinfect, thus preventing contamination of the samples.

[0024] Specifically, a door 2 is rotatably installed at the front opening of the test chamber 1, and a control box 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the test chamber 1. A control panel 4 is set on the front of the control box 3. The control panel 4 is equipped with a touch screen operation interface. Users can set test parameters such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, and test time through the touch screen, and can view test data and curves at any time. Specifically, test chamber 1 is equipped with a temperature control system, a humidity control system, and a lighting system, which are electrically connected to the control system inside control box 3.

[0025] Specifically, the lighting system has several supplementary lights 7, which are evenly and fixedly installed inside the test chamber 1 on the side away from the opening. The supplementary lights 7 are set perpendicular to the tray 9 to avoid the tray 9 blocking the supplementary lights 7. The supplemental light 7 uses an adjustable LED light with an intensity range of 0-6000 LX. The light intensity and duration can be precisely adjusted via a light controller to simulate the effects of different lighting conditions on fruit and vegetable juice concentrates. For example, it can simulate different scenarios such as direct sunlight and indoor lighting.

[0026] Specifically, a number of holes 8 connected to the humidity control system are evenly provided on the side of the test chamber 1 away from the opening. The holes 8 are provided so that the humidifier can add humidity to the test chamber 1, or the dehumidifier can dehumidify the test chamber 1.

[0027] Specifically, the test chamber 1 adopts a double-layer stainless steel structure with high-efficiency thermal insulation material in the middle, which has good thermal insulation performance and can effectively reduce the influence of the external environment on the temperature in the test chamber 1. The interior is equipped with an anti-corrosion coating to prevent the evaporation or leakage of fruit and vegetable juice concentrate from causing corrosion to the test chamber 1.

[0028] Specifically, the door 2 is made of transparent plexiglass, which makes it easy to observe the state of the samples in the test chamber 1. It is also equipped with a sealing strip to ensure the airtightness of the door 2 when it is closed.

[0029] Specifically, semiconductor cooling and heating technology, combined with a PID temperature controller, enables precise temperature control within test chamber 1. The temperature control range is 0-60℃, with temperature fluctuations not exceeding ±0.5℃. Multiple temperature sensors are installed within test chamber 1 to monitor the temperature at different locations in real time and feed the data back to the temperature controller. Based on the set temperature value, the controller automatically adjusts the cooling or heating power to ensure uniform and stable temperature within test chamber 1.

[0030] Specifically, the humidity control system consists of a humidifier and a dehumidifier. A humidity sensor monitors the humidity in test chamber 1 in real time and transmits the data to a humidity controller. The humidity control range is 40-95%RH, with a fluctuation range not exceeding ±3%RH. When the humidity in test chamber 1 is lower than the set value, the humidifier automatically starts, spraying water mist into test chamber 1 through holes 8 to increase the humidity. When the humidity in test chamber 1 is higher than the set value, the dehumidifier starts working to reduce the humidity in test chamber 1.

[0031] Specifically, the control system uses a microcomputer controller that integrates data acquisition functions from sensors such as temperature, humidity, and light. The control system is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0032] It should be noted that the control system and electrical components involved in this case all use existing technology. Since these are very mature technologies, they will not be elaborated on further here.

[0033] In this embodiment, when in use, open the box door 2, take off the tray 9, pour the required fruit and vegetable juice concentrate into the container 10 of the tray 9, and then put the tray 9 back into the test chamber 1 along the guide rail groove 5, and connect the communication female socket 12 on the tray 9 to the communication male plug 6. Then close the chamber door 2, adjust the temperature and humidity in the test chamber 1, and conduct a test on the concentrated fruit and vegetable juice. During the test, the pH probe 11 will be in constant contact with the concentrated fruit and vegetable juice in the container 10, and the pH value of the concentrated fruit and vegetable juice will be detected in real time. The pH value will be used to determine whether the concentrated fruit and vegetable juice has deteriorated.

[0034] Any technical solution that achieves the above-mentioned technical effects by utilizing the technical solution described in this utility model, or by designing a similar technical solution inspired by the technical solution described in this utility model, falls within the protection scope of this utility model.
