Description

Technical Field

[0006] , , , , ,

[0001] The present invention relates to a food fraud detection device using terahertz spectroscopy with a real-time multi-component analysis function.

[0002] The present device relates to a food inspection device. More specifically, it has a structural arrangement including a base housing, a vertical housing, a display unit, a user input unit, a plurality of connection ports, a sensor unit, a control switch, a power supply unit, and a support member, and relates to a food fraud detection device using terahertz spectroscopy that provides a compact and stable device configuration suitable for real-time multi-component analysis.

Background Art

[0003] Conventionally, devices for food inspection and analysis measurements have often been configured as desktop devices equipped with a housing, a display interface, an external connection part, and a sensor part. However, in many known devices, their external structure is not optimized for user-friendly operation, organized access to sensors, stable support on the work surface, and the orderly arrangement of communication and connection components.

[0004] In particular, when a single device requires a plurality of detection elements, a user operation part, a communication interface, and auxiliary ports, in the conventional structural layout, the device may become bulky, the operation may become inconvenient, and installation and maintenance in a laboratory or field test environment may become difficult.

[0005] [[ID=

[24] ]Furthermore, there is a need for a device structure in which a display device, a connection interface, a control switch, a sensor area, a support member, and a communication member are arranged cooperatively and compactly, thereby improving usability, accessibility, and installation stability. <00000|9>
