  • Publication number: 20220291115
    Abstract: A product index mechanism for a product inspection system includes a material strip driving wheel and an index structure driving wheel. The material strip driving wheel engages with a material strip carrying a plurality of products to be inspected by an inspection device of the product inspection system. The driving wheel drives the material strip to move. The index structure driving wheel rotates synchronously with the material strip driving wheel and includes a plurality of product index structures thereon. As a product on the material strip is moved by the material strip driving wheel to an inspection position of the inspection device, one product index structure on the index structure driving wheel is rotated to a trigger position corresponding to a trigger of the inspection system. Activation of the trigger transmits a trigger signal to the inspection device to inspect the product.

  • Patent number: 11426670
    Abstract: A toy vehicle booster is presented herein. The toy vehicle booster includes a booster assembly with linked booster wheels positioned on opposite sides of a track section. The booster's track section includes a central wall that defines two pathways between the linked booster wheels. Consequently, either one of the linked booster wheels can compress a first toy vehicle of a first size that is traveling within one of the two pathways against the central wall to accelerate the first toy vehicle through the track portion. Additionally or alternatively, the linked booster wheels can engage both sides of a second toy vehicle of a second size that is traveling along both of the two pathways to accelerate the second toy vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220250274
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an environment-friendly mildew prevention method for bamboo. The mildew prevention method for bamboo includes the following steps: soaking the bamboo in an acid solution to obtain a reaction system; subjecting the reaction system to a hydrolysis reaction to obtain a hydrolyzed product; and washing and drying the hydrolyzed product in sequence to obtain mildew-proof bamboo, where the acid solution is an inorganic acid solution or an organic acid solution; the inorganic acid solution has a mass concentration of 0.5-8%; the organic acid solution has a mass concentration of 2-40%. The present disclosure uses an inorganic acid solution or an organic acid solution to treat the bamboo, and reduces the content of starch in the bamboo through a hydrolysis reaction, thereby reducing a carbon source with starch as the main nutrient on which a mildew fungus depends and achieving the purpose of preventing the bamboo from mildewing.
