Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of oil detection technology, specifically an edible oil detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Edible oil, as a core raw material in daily life and food processing, is directly related to food safety and human health. In production quality control and market sampling, accurate testing is a key means to avoid risks such as excessive impurities and unqualified ingredients. Among them, viscosity is a core indicator of edible oil quality. At the same temperature, the viscosity of edible oils of different qualities varies significantly. This data directly reflects whether the impurity content and component ratio of the oil meet the standards, and is one of the core bases for judging whether edible oil is qualified.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent in the prior art, with publication number 2021-07-16 and publication date CN213715199U, entitled "An Oil Detection Device for Edible Oil Production." Although this patent solves the problem that "the device can adjust the temperature of the edible oil to be tested, and the device can heat multiple experimental objects simultaneously, thereby making the detection of edible oil more accurate," it cannot uniformly heat each container holding oil in the test tube rack. Due to the different installation distances between each container and the heating rod, the oil in different containers is heated unevenly. The temperature of some oils cannot reach the preset detection temperature, or the temperature fluctuation exceeds the allowable range. Ultimately, this results in a large deviation in the viscosity detection data of the oil in each container, making it difficult to meet the needs of accurate detection of edible oil quality and thus failing to achieve the desired effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems existing in the background technology, this utility model provides an edible oil and fat detection device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an edible oil and fat detection device, comprising a barrel, a motor, a drive gear, an annular limiting seat, a partition, a top cover, a temperature controller, a heating rod, and multiple placement mechanisms;
[0006] A motor is fixed to the bottom surface of the barrel. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a drive gear. The drive gear meshes with multiple placement mechanisms. The multiple placement mechanisms are evenly distributed along the bottom surface of the barrel. An annular limiting seat is fixed to the inner wall of the barrel. The partition plate has through holes corresponding to the multiple placement mechanisms. Each through hole is fitted onto the corresponding placement mechanism. The partition plate is placed on the annular limiting seat. The upper opening of the barrel has an internal thread. The peripheral wall of the top cover has an external thread. The top cover is threaded to the barrel. A thermostat is provided at the upper end of the top cover. The thermostat is electrically connected to a heating rod. The heating rod is fixed to the lower end of the top cover.
[0007] Each of the aforementioned placement mechanisms includes a column, a test tube, a driven gear, and four limiting columns;
[0008] The lower end of the column is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the barrel via a bearing. A driven gear is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the column. The driven gear meshes with the driving gear. The upper end of the column moves through the corresponding through hole on the partition and is fixed with four limiting posts. The four limiting posts are evenly distributed around the upper end of the column. Each of the four limiting posts has an elastic rubber pad at its upper end. The test tube is placed in the annular area enclosed by the four limiting posts.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] 1. Parallel detection of multiple samples: This device is designed with multiple placement mechanisms evenly distributed along the bottom surface of the barrel. Each placement mechanism can place one test tube (containing edible oil sample) through the limiting post, realizing the simultaneous placement and detection of multiple samples. Compared with traditional devices that can only process one sample at a time, it greatly increases the detection volume per unit time, which is especially suitable for batch sample screening scenarios.
[0011] 2. More uniform sample heating: Relying on the transmission structure of motor, drive gear and driven gear, the motor can drive all placement mechanisms to rotate synchronously. With the heating rod at the bottom of the top cover, it can avoid the problem of local temperature being too high or too low in traditional static heating. It ensures that each group of samples reacts in the same temperature environment, which not only improves detection efficiency, but also lays the foundation for the consistency of results.
[0012] 3. Stable and scratch-resistant test tube fixation: The four circumferentially distributed limiting posts in each placement mechanism can form an annular limiting space to firmly fix the test tube and prevent it from shaking or tipping over when the device is running; at the same time, the upper end of the limiting post is equipped with an elastic rubber pad, which can not only buffer the impact force when the test tube is placed, but also prevent the test tube from directly contacting the hard limiting post and causing scratches and damage, thus reducing the risk of sample leakage.
[0013] 4. Excellent sealing and protection: The barrel and top cover are connected by threads, which can achieve a reliable seal at the open top of the device. On the one hand, it can reduce heat loss during heating (improving temperature control efficiency), and on the other hand, it can prevent external dust and impurities from falling into the sample and contaminating the testing environment. It also prevents grease vapor from spreading randomly during heating, ensuring the health of operators.
[0014] 5. Precise and controllable temperature control system: The device is equipped with a temperature control module that is electrically connected to the heating rod. Operators can precisely adjust the heating temperature through the temperature controller to meet the specific temperature requirements of different edible oils and avoid the deviation in test results caused by the difficulty in controlling the temperature of traditional manual heating.
[0015] 6. Easy assembly and maintenance: The connection method of each component of the device is simple and easy to understand. Operators can quickly complete operations such as top cover disassembly, partition removal and placement, and test tube replacement without complicated tools, thus lowering the threshold for use. At the same time, the simple structure of the components makes subsequent cleaning and maintenance more convenient.
[0016] 7. Wide range of applications: The core functions of the device are designed around temperature control heating and stable sample placement, which can be adapted to various testing items of edible oil (such as thermal stability testing, component change observation, etc.). Whether it is precise laboratory testing or quality sampling inspection of small production enterprises, it can meet the needs of use and is highly practical.
[0017] In summary, this invention achieves simultaneous multi-sample testing and uniform heating through the design of multiple placement mechanisms and gear transmission, significantly improving testing efficiency. The use of limiting post protection and threaded sealing effectively reduces operational risks and environmental interference. Precise temperature control ensures the accuracy and reliability of test results. Furthermore, its simple assembly method and wide adaptability enhance the practical value of the device. Overall, it can meet the high-efficiency, safe, and accurate requirements for edible oil testing in different scenarios, demonstrating significant application value. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] This embodiment describes an edible oil and fat detection device, including a barrel 1, a motor 2, a drive gear 3, an annular limiting seat 8, a partition 9, a top cover 10, a temperature controller 11, a heating rod 12, and multiple placement mechanisms.
[0023] A motor 2 is fixed to the bottom surface of the inner wall of the barrel 1. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 3. The drive gear 3 is meshed with multiple placement mechanisms. The multiple placement mechanisms are evenly distributed along the bottom surface of the inner wall of the barrel 1. An annular limiting seat 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the barrel 1. The partition 9 has through holes corresponding to the multiple placement mechanisms. Each through hole is fitted onto the corresponding placement mechanism. The partition 9 is placed on the annular limiting seat 8. The upper opening of the barrel 1 has an internal thread. The periphery of the top cover 10 has an external thread. The top cover 10 is threadedly connected to the barrel 1. A thermostat 11 is provided at the upper end of the top cover 10. The thermostat 11 is electrically connected to the heating rod 12. The heating rod 12 is fixed to the lower end of the top cover 10.
[0024] Each of the placement mechanisms includes a column 4, a test tube 6, a driven gear 7, and four limiting columns 5;
[0025] The lower end of the column 4 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the barrel 1 via a bearing. A driven gear 7 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the column 4. The driven gear 7 meshes with the driving gear 3. The upper end of the column 4 moves through the corresponding through hole on the partition 9 and is fixed with four limiting posts 5. The four limiting posts 5 are evenly distributed around the upper end of the column 4. Each of the four limiting posts 5 has an elastic rubber pad at its upper end. The test tube 6 is placed in the annular area enclosed by the four limiting posts 5.
[0026] This edible oil and fat testing device features an ingenious structural design, composed of multiple key components working together. First, the barrel 1 serves as the basic load-bearing component of the entire device, and its internal space provides a place for the installation and operation of each component. The motor 2, fixed to the bottom surface of the barrel 1, acts as the "power heart" of the device. When the motor 2 starts, its output shaft drives the drive gear 3 to rotate, and the drive gear 3 becomes the "hub" for power transmission. The drive gear 3 meshes with the driven gears 7 in multiple placement mechanisms evenly distributed along the bottom surface of the barrel 1. Through the precise meshing transmission between the gears, it ensures that each placement mechanism can operate stably and synchronously.
[0027] Each placement mechanism is ingeniously designed. The lower end of the column 4 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the barrel 1 via a bearing. This design allows the column 4 to remain stable during rotation, reducing shaking and friction loss. The driven gear 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the column 4 and meshes with the driving gear 3 to drive the column 4 to rotate. The upper end of the column 4 moves through the corresponding through hole on the partition 9 and is fixed with four limiting posts 5 evenly distributed around its upper end. The elastic rubber pads on the upper end of the four limiting posts 5 can not only stably place the test tube 6, but also play a buffering and protective role during the rotation of the test tube 6, preventing the test tube 6 from being damaged by collision.
[0028] The annular limiting seat 8 fixed to the inner wall of the barrel 1 cooperates with the partition 9 placed on it (the partition 9 is made of heat-resistant and heat-insulating material suitable for the testing environment to protect the motor 2 below the partition 9). The partition 9 is designed to be easily removed, which greatly facilitates the maintenance and repair of the device. When it is necessary to replace the motor 2 or repair the placement mechanism, simply remove the partition 9 from the annular limiting seat 8 to directly contact the motor 2 and each placement mechanism on the inner bottom surface of the barrel 1. There is no need to disassemble other complex structures of the device, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process.
[0029] The internal thread at the upper opening of the barrel 1 and the external thread on the circumference of the top cover 10 are threaded together. This connection method facilitates the installation and removal of the top cover 10 and ensures the sealing of the device. The sealing prevents heat loss from the barrel 1 and avoids external ambient temperature from interfering with the internal constant temperature environment. This ensures the stability of the detection temperature provided by the heating rod 12 and improves the temperature control accuracy. The temperature controller 11 (which is an existing technology, such as the Omron E5CC series intelligent temperature controller) is electrically connected to the heating rod 12 fixed at its lower end. The temperature controller 11 acts as the "brain" of temperature control and can accurately control the working state of the heating rod 12 according to the set temperature. When the device is working, the oils to be tested can be placed in the corresponding test tubes 6, and labels can be affixed to the test tubes 6 to indicate the type of oil. After the top cover 10 is rotated and connected to the barrel 1, the heating rod 12 is positioned between the multiple placement mechanisms. The temperature controller 11 is activated to adjust the temperature to the required temperature, and the heating rod 12 begins to heat up, providing a specific temperature environment for oil testing. At the same time, the motor 2 is activated. The motor 2 is designed to rotate slowly at a low speed (the speed range can be adjusted according to the testing requirements, such as 5 r / min, which can both drive the test tubes 6 to be heated evenly and avoid oil splashing in the test tubes 6 due to excessive speed, ensuring testing safety and sample integrity). The motor 2 drives the drive gear 3 to rotate, thereby causing the test tubes 6 to rotate together and be heated evenly. After the specified time is reached, the motor 2 and the temperature controller 11 are stopped, the top cover 10 is unscrewed, and the test tubes 6 are taken out. The viscosity value of the heated oil is measured by using a capillary viscometer or rotational viscometer, and compared with the standard value to obtain the impurity content or blending ratio of the oil, thus completing the oil testing process.
