Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anthocyanin production technology, and in particular to a real-time monitoring device for anthocyanin degradation. Background Technology

[0002] Anthocyanins are a class of water-soluble pigments widely found in plants. They have excellent antioxidant activity and are widely used in the food, health products, and cosmetics industries. However, the molecular structure of anthocyanins is unstable and they are easily degraded during storage due to factors such as temperature, light, oxygen, and pH, leading to changes in product color and a decline in functionality.

[0003] In existing technologies, the monitoring of anthocyanin degradation mainly relies on manual periodic sampling, which is then sent to the laboratory for analysis using pH differential methods or high-performance liquid chromatography. This method has the following problems: the sampling and analysis process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive; real-time monitoring cannot be achieved; laboratory analysis is a destructive test; the analysis results are severely delayed; more importantly, the samples are still exposed to adverse environments such as light and oxygen during the transfer and waiting for analysis, which may lead to continued degradation or even deterioration, making the final analysis results unable to truly reflect the quality status under the original storage conditions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a real-time monitoring device for anthocyanin degradation in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a real-time monitoring device for anthocyanin degradation, comprising a storage tank, a shell, and multiple glass slides. The shell is installed at the bottom of the storage tank. A rotating mechanism is provided in the middle of the interior of the shell. A metering pump with its bottom outlet located above the rotating mechanism is installed at one end of the interior of the shell. A connecting pipe is installed at the input end of the metering pump. The connecting pipe extends out of the shell and connects to the outlet of the storage tank. A detector is provided on one side of the interior of the shell. A recycling mechanism is provided at the other end of the interior of the shell. A stacking mechanism is provided on the other side of the interior of the shell.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a base installed at the bottom inside the housing, a motor is mounted at the bottom of the base, and the output end of the motor extending out of the base is connected to a turntable.

[0007] Preferably, the recycling mechanism includes a receiving trough placed inside the outer casing at the other end, one end of the receiving trough having an opening, a push plate slidably connected to the opening, and one end of the push plate being connected to a telescopic end of an electric telescopic rod installed at the bottom inside the outer casing.

[0008] Preferably, the stacking mechanism includes a feeding trough installed on the other side inside the housing. One end of the feeding trough has a discharge port adapted to the size of a single glass slide. The lower end of the feeding trough is symmetrically equipped with baffles flush with the base. A push block is slidably connected between the two baffles. One end of the push block is connected to the telescopic end of an electric telescopic rod installed on the outside of the feeding trough.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the base has a through hole with a diameter larger than that of the glass slide, and is located at the top of the receiving trough.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the turntable has multiple insertion holes arranged in an array to match the size of the glass slides. The insertion holes correspond to the outlet positions and extend to the outside of the turntable.

[0011] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. In this application, the storage tank is directly connected to the metering pump via a connecting tube. After sampling, the sample is immediately dropped onto a glass slide for optical measurement. The entire process is completed quickly within a sealed, light-proof enclosure, avoiding additional degradation or deterioration of the sample due to exposure to light, oxygen, and other environments during the transfer to the laboratory, thus ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of the monitoring results.

[0013] 2. The glass slides are designed for single use, eliminating cross-contamination. Through the coordinated operation of the rotating mechanism, quantitative pump, detector, and recycling mechanism, anthocyanin is sampled and measured automatically and at regular intervals, which can reflect the quality change trend of anthocyanin during storage in a timely manner.

[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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a real-time monitoring device for anthocyanin degradation, including a storage tank 1, a shell 2 and multiple glass slides 4. The shell 2 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 1. Both the shell 2 and the storage tank 1 are opaque and sealed structures, and a semiconductor cooling chip is integrated inside to maintain the light-proof and low-temperature environment required for storing anthocyanins. A door is provided on one side of the shell 2 for opening the shell 2 to take out and put in the glass slides 4. The glass slides 4 are box-shaped transparent glass components with a liquid injection port on the top for receiving droplets of anthocyanin sample for testing.

[0025] A rotating mechanism 3 is provided in the middle of the inner shell 2. A metering pump 5 with the bottom outlet located above the rotating mechanism 3 is installed at one end of the inner shell 2. When the rotating mechanism 3 transports an empty glass slide 4 to the area directly below its outlet, it performs a dripping operation. The metering pump 5 is preferably a piston-type micro pump, which can accurately control the sampling volume. A connecting pipe 6 is installed at the input end of the metering pump 5. The connecting pipe 6 extends out of the outer shell 2 and connects to the outlet of the storage tank 1. The connecting pipe 6 is a light-proof and corrosion-resistant flexible tube, which enables direct sampling from the storage tank 1.

[0026] A detector 7 is installed on one side inside the outer casing 2. The detector 7 is a colorimeter or a miniature spectrometer, which is connected to an external processing system. Its optical probe is positioned directly opposite the outside of the movement trajectory of the glass slide 4 on the turntable 303, and is used to measure the optical properties of the anthocyanin sample on the glass slide 4.

[0027] A recycling mechanism 8 is provided at the other end of the inner shell 2 to collect the glass slides 4 that have completed the test. A stacking mechanism 9 is provided on the other side of the inner shell 2 to replenish new glass slides 4 onto the rotating mechanism 3.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a base 301 installed at the bottom inside the housing 2. A motor 302 is mounted at the bottom of the base 301. The motor 302 is preferably a stepper motor or a servo motor to achieve precise angular displacement control. The output end of the motor 302 extending out of the base 301 is connected to a turntable 303.

[0029] The turntable 303 is used to carry and circulate multiple glass slides 4. The base 301 serves as the supporting frame of the entire rotating mechanism 3, ensuring that the turntable 303 runs smoothly. The turntable 303 is driven by the motor 302 to perform precise indexing rotation, which can transport the glass slides 4 sequentially and accurately to the sampling, testing, recycling and loading stations corresponding to the quantitative pump 5, the detector 7, the recycling mechanism 8 and the stacking mechanism 9, respectively.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the recycling mechanism 8 includes a collection trough 801 placed inside the outer casing 2 at the other end. One end of the collection trough 801 is provided with an opening, and a push plate 802 is slidably connected to the opening. One end of the push plate 802 is connected to the telescopic end of an electric telescopic rod 803 installed at the bottom inside the outer casing 2.

[0031] To reduce the risk of impact and breakage when the glass slide 4 falls, a flexible buffer pad can be installed at the bottom of the receiving trough 801, or its bottom can be designed as an inclined slide structure.

[0032] When the electric telescopic rod 803 pushes the push plate 802 to push the waste glass slide 4 into the receiving trough 801, the push plate 802 will continue to move forward for a distance. Its function is to make the newly fallen waste glass slide 4 fit tightly with the existing glass slide 4 in the receiving trough 801, ensuring that the waste glass slide 4 is stacked in an orderly and compact manner in the receiving trough 801, making the maximum use of the storage space, and leaving a neat position for the smooth falling of subsequent glass slides, preventing scattering and jamming.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the stacking mechanism 9 includes a feeding trough 901 installed inside the outer casing 2 on the other side. One end of the feeding trough 901 has a discharge port 9011 adapted to the size of a single glass slide 4. The lower end of the feeding trough 901 is symmetrically equipped with baffles 902 flush with the base 301, which together form a guide channel to restrict and guide the falling path of the glass slide 4. A pusher block 903 is slidably connected between the two baffles 902. One end of the pusher block 903 is connected to the telescopic end of an electric telescopic rod 904 installed on the outside of the feeding trough 901.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the top of the turntable 303 has multiple insertion holes 3031 that are adapted to the size of the glass slide 4 in an array. The insertion holes 3031 correspond to the positions of the discharge port 9011 and extend to the outside of the turntable 303 to ensure that new glass slides 4 can be accurately replenished onto the turntable 303. The top of the base 301 has a through hole 3011 with a diameter larger than the size of the glass slide 4 and is located at the top of the receiving trough 801, so that when the turntable 303 rotates to this position, it falls into the receiving trough 801 below through this through hole 3011.

[0035] In summary, the working principle of the anthocyanin degradation real-time monitoring device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] Start motor 302 to drive turntable 303 to rotate. When monitoring is required, turntable 303 first rotates an empty glass slide 4 to the corresponding position of stacking mechanism 9. At this time, electric telescopic rod 2 904 is activated, pushing push block 903 to push a new glass slide 4 from the feeding groove 901 through the discharge port 9011 into the insertion hole 3031 of turntable 303.

[0037] After the loading is completed, the turntable 303 continues to rotate, rotating the station carrying the new glass slide 4 to the sampling station below the quantitative pump 5. The quantitative pump 5 extracts a fixed volume of anthocyanin sample from the storage tank 1 through the connecting pipe 6 and precisely drops it into the liquid injection port of the glass slide 4.

[0038] Subsequently, the turntable 303 carries the sampled glass slide 4 to the corresponding detection station of the detector 7. The optical probe of the detector 7 performs a rapid optical scan on the sample on the glass slide 4 to obtain its color or spectral data. These data are transmitted in real time to the external processing system for calculating the anthocyanin degradation degree.

[0039] After the measurement is completed, the turntable 303 continues to run, transporting the used glass slide 4 to the recycling station above the recycling mechanism 8. The discarded glass slide 4 falls into the storage trough 801 through the through hole 3011 on the base 301. The electric telescopic rod 803 is activated to push the push plate 802, so that the discarded glass slide 4 fits into the storage trough 801.

[0040] The above process is repeated, realizing the fully automated real-time monitoring of anthocyanin sample collection, rapid measurement, waste tablet recycling and new tablet replenishment.

[0041] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
