Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food brewing, and more specifically, to a fabrication apparatus for spreading koji (fermented starter culture). Background Technology

[0002] The use of starter culture in the food brewing industry is very widespread. Starter culture involves inoculating and cultivating starter culture on a culture medium containing treated starter culture materials, and then mixing the cultivated starter culture with food raw materials for brewing. For example, in soy sauce brewing, soy sauce is made from high-sugar, high-protein, and low-oil materials such as soybean meal and flour as the main raw materials, with starter culture added, and then produced through ventilation, pressing, and other methods. In contrast, liquor brewing uses high-sugar materials such as rice and sorghum as the main raw materials, and the raw materials are saccharified through cooking and mold, and then the starter culture is added to the raw materials for brewing.

[0003] In this process, the starter culture is the foundation of brewing. High-quality starter culture raw materials require high-quality starter culture and strict starter culture processing to produce high-quality soy sauce, miso, seasoning liquid, and other brewed foods. The starter culture is obtained by expanding the culture of Aspergillus on the starter culture raw materials, with the purpose of producing starter culture spores. Specifically, this involves stirring the starter culture raw materials, inoculating the stirred starter culture raw materials with Aspergillus, culturing the inoculated starter culture, obtaining the starter culture after the culture is completed, and then collecting the starter culture in the container. The collected starter culture is the finished starter culture, which can be used for subsequent food brewing.

[0004] The existing process for expanding the cultivation and collection of koji is as follows: the koji raw materials are stirred and then manually spread in koji trays. After spreading, the trays are sent to a cultivation tank for Aspergillus inoculation and koji expansion cultivation. After the koji cultivation is completed, the trays containing the koji are manually transported to the collection site for manual collection. Then, manual cleaning and drying steps are performed. After the koji trays are cleaned, they are manually spread again. The collected koji is then sent to the subsequent food brewing process.

[0005] Based on the above-described koji-seeding process, after collecting and cleaning the koji-seeding trays, the trays can be used for koji-seeding again. At this time, the koji-seeding material needs to be spread evenly on the clean and dry trays. However, during this process, the manual spreading of the mixed koji-seeding material often results in uneven spreading. For example, in a koji-seeding tray, some areas may have a thicker layer of koji-seeding material, while others may have a thinner layer. Alternatively, the thickness of the koji-seeding material on different trays may vary significantly. If the koji-seeding material is too thick, some of it may not be utilized by Aspergillus mold, while if it is too thin, there may be too much Aspergillus mold in that area and not enough raw material. Both of these conditions will affect the yield of koji-seeding. In addition, since the koji-seeding material often contains a lot of sugar, it is easy for it to clump together and form lumps. Inside these lumps, oxygen is insufficient, and Aspergillus mold cannot survive, which is not conducive to koji-seeding. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention addresses the aforementioned technical problems by providing a material distribution device. Through a mechanical structure, the device mixes and compoundes the koji raw materials, thus solving the problems of uneven distribution and clumping of koji raw materials in existing technologies.

[0007] In this invention, the fabric device includes: a stirring mechanism for stirring the koji raw material; and a composite processing mechanism for performing composite processing on the koji raw material stirred by the stirring mechanism, wherein the composite processing includes any one of intelligent conveying processing, dispersing processing, and variable supply processing.

[0008] According to the technical solution, after the starter culture raw materials are stirred, they are subjected to composite processing by a composite processing mechanism. Specifically, the composite processing includes any one of the following: intelligent conveying processing, dispersing processing, and variable supply processing. This enables the starter culture raw materials to achieve one or more of the following combined effects: intelligent conveying based on the composition of the starter culture raw materials, keeping the starter culture raw materials loose and not clumping, and controlling the supply amount of the starter culture raw materials under different conditions.

[0009] Preferably, the composite processing mechanism includes: a rotary conveyor for receiving the koji raw material after it has been stirred by a stirring mechanism; a first disperser for dispersing the koji raw material conveyed by the rotary conveyor; a variable feeder for outputting the koji raw material processed by the first disperser in a variable output manner; and a second disperser for further dispersing the koji raw material output by the variable feeder.

[0010] According to this technical solution, the rotary conveyor can perform secondary mixing of the koji raw materials during the conveying process, effectively preventing the raw materials from clumping. Furthermore, as a sealed conveyor, the rotary conveyor can effectively prevent dust from flying, improving the working environment. Multiple dispersants further break up the clumped koji raw materials, making the output koji raw materials fluffy. The fine air bubbles mixed in the koji raw materials are beneficial for subsequent koji-making. In addition, a variable feeder is installed before the output, allowing control of the output amount of koji raw materials downstream of the composite processing mechanism, resulting in rapid response and precise control of the material distribution.

[0011] Preferably, the fabric feeding device also includes a measuring mechanism and a control mechanism, which are communicatively connected to the mixing mechanism or the composite processing mechanism to measure and control parameters.

[0012] According to this technical solution, real-time monitoring and control of the fabric-laying device can be achieved, enabling precise control of the fabric-laying process. Through precise control of each fabric-laying process, the quality of the raw material fabric can be improved, and unnecessary energy waste can be avoided. The specific execution methods of the measuring and control mechanisms are described below.

[0013] Furthermore, as a preferred example, the measuring mechanism measures any one of the following: image, density, and hardness of the koji raw material after it has been stirred by the mixing mechanism, and obtains measurement data. The control mechanism adjusts the operating parameters of any one of the following devices—the rotary conveyor, the first disperser, the second disperser, and the variable feeder—based on the measurement data. The operating parameters of subsequent mechanisms are determined by the condition of the stirred koji raw material, thereby achieving the rational allocation and utilization of resources.

[0014] Furthermore, as another preferred example, the measuring mechanism measures the image of the seed koji raw material and obtains measurement data, and the control mechanism controls the rotation speed of the rotary conveyor based on the measurement data. This clarifies the control method: after the measuring mechanism measures the seed koji raw material, the rotation speed of the rotary conveyor is adjusted, and the degree of mixing of the seed koji raw material is adjusted in real time according to its condition.

[0015] Furthermore, preferably, the measuring mechanism measures the image and density of the raw material and obtains measurement data, and the control mechanism controls the power or working time of the first and / or second dispersing machine based on the measurement data. This clarifies that the control mechanism controls the dispersing effect of the dispersing machine by controlling its power and working time.

[0016] Preferably, the composite processing mechanism also includes a temporary storage container, which is located between the first and second dispersers to store the seed koji raw materials dispersed by the first disperser. After the first disperser disperses the seed koji raw materials, the raw materials enter the variable feeder. At this time, the variable feeder supplies materials to the second disperser according to actual needs. However, the supply and discharge of the variable feeder are often different, so a temporary storage hopper is set after the first disperser to reduce the waste of seed koji raw materials.

[0017] Furthermore, preferably, the measuring mechanism also measures any one of the following: image, density, or hardness of the koji raw material in the temporary storage container, and obtains measurement data. The control mechanism controls the power or working time of the second dispersing machine based on the measurement data. This allows the control of the working intensity of the second dispersing machine to determine the condition of the koji raw material after the first dispersing device has worked.

[0018] Preferably, the variable feeder includes a discharge port and an opening adjustment component, which adjusts the output of the starter culture material. This structurally achieves variable feed. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0040] It should be noted that in the description of this invention, "upstream side" and "downstream side" are only used to clarify the operating sequence relationship between the devices and do not specifically refer to a certain position. This is only to help those skilled in the art to understand the invention more vividly, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific position or be constructed in a specific position. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of the invention.

[0041] This invention provides an automated system for seed spore processing, including a fabrication device. This automated system utilizes machinery to replace manual labor, avoiding direct contact between technicians and seed spores during the processing.

[0042] 1. Overall Composition

[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of an automated koji-planting system provided by the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the automated koji-growing system provided in the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a conveying device 1, a koji-cutting device 2, a collecting device 3, a washing device 4, a drying device 5, a spreading device 6, a measuring device 7, a koji tray conveying device 8, a cultivation device 9, and a recycling device 10. The koji-cutting device 2, the collecting device 3, the washing device 4, the drying device 5, and the spreading device 6 are collectively or individually enclosed by a sealed housing (the housing is not shown in the figure for ease of illustrating the structure of each device) to prevent koji leakage.

[0044] As an example, the conveying device 1 conveys the tray 100 containing the seed koji; the collecting device 3 collects the seed koji from the tray 100 conveyed by the conveying device 1; and the cleaning device 4, located downstream of the collecting device 3, cleans the tray 100 after the seed koji has been collected using a cleaning medium.

[0045] The cleaning medium can be any medium that has a cleaning effect on the disc, and there are no limitations on the type and phase of the medium. For example, the cleaning medium can be a solid cleaning agent, liquid water, or a gaseous cleaning agent. All of these are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0046] In this example, the automated koji processing system can use the conveying device 1 to transport the koji tray 100, so that the koji tray 100 can be transferred between various devices, and a series of mechanical devices are used to replace manual operation in the koji processing flow to complete the koji collection and cleaning process.

[0047] In another example, the cutting device 2 is located upstream of the collecting device 3 to cut the seed buds on the tray 100 conveyed by the conveying device 1. The drying device 5 is located downstream of the washing device 3 to dry the tray 100 after it has been washed by the washing device 3. The spreading device 6 stirs the seed buds fed into the spreading device 6 and distributes the stirred seed buds onto the tray 100 after it has been dried by the drying device 5. The measuring device 7 measures any one of a plurality of parameters, including at least: the position of the tray 100 or the number of seed buds it carries, and the position or movement state of the collecting device 3, the washing device 4, the drying device 5, and the spreading device 6. The control device (not shown) controls the operation of at least one of the conveying device 1, the collecting device 3, the washing device 4, the drying device 5, and the spreading device 6 based on the measurement data from the measuring device 7.

[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the specific structure of each device is not limited. For example, the conveying device 1 can be any form to adapt to the shape of different cranks to convey the crank 100 to a designated position. For example, in some embodiments, its structure can adopt a chain drive with a width greater than the width of the crank, or it can adopt a roller drive that contacts the crank 100. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that the device for conveying the crank 100 to the designated position is not limited to the above two forms, and the other devices in this embodiment are also not limited to a certain specific form. If the device structure in this embodiment is simply modified or replaced to achieve the same effect, it does not exceed the protection scope of this invention.

[0049] The following sections provide a detailed description of each device in the automated koji processing system.

[0050] 1.1 Conveying device

[0051] The conveying device 1 conveys the curved discs, enabling them to move to positions corresponding to the collecting device 3, washing device 4, drying device 5, and spreading device 6. The number, position, and specific structure of these devices are not particularly limited. In this embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the conveyor device 1 is preferably a conveyor belt that runs through the starting and ending points of each device and has a width greater than that of the curved disc.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying device 1 includes a limiting track and a supporting mechanism 1b, wherein the length L of the supporting surface of the supporting mechanism 1b is not less than the length L0 of the crank plate. In this embodiment, the limiting track is formed as a chain mechanism 1a, which is disposed on both sides of the supporting mechanism 1b and fixed relative to each other. The chain mechanism 1a drives the supporting mechanism 1b to move. The chain mechanism 1a includes a chain 1a1 and a drive pulley (not shown). The drive pulley rotates and drives the chain 1a1 to move along the corresponding chain track, so that the chain 1a1 can drive the crank plate 100 mounted on the supporting mechanism 1b to move.

[0053] In the automated koji processing system of the present invention, the conveying device 1 is a conveying mechanism built into each of the other devices. Preferably, the placement plane of the conveying device 1 is kept flush between every two adjacent devices in the operating sequence, so as to better receive the koji trays 100 conveyed by the upstream devices.

[0054] Preferably, the supporting mechanism 1b is composed of multiple structures combined together, and there are gaps 1b2 between the multiple structures with a width not greater than the width of the curved disk. Specifically, for example... Figure 3 As shown, the supporting mechanism 1b is composed of multiple rollers 1b1 of the same length arranged on the same plane. Each roller 1b1 is fixed to the chain mechanism 1a at intervals. The spacing D between each roller 1b1 is not greater than the width D0 of the curved plate 100. Thus, the supporting mechanism 1b can circulate together with the chain 1a1. The gaps 1b2 between the spaced columnar structures 1b1 prevent waste overflowing from the curved plate during processing by each device from accumulating on the conveying device and causing pollution to the conveying device 1, affecting the working efficiency of the conveying device 1 or reducing the service life of the conveying device 1.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, the conveying device 1 is formed as an integral conveying device in each device. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the conveying method of the conveying device of the present invention is not limited to this. The conveying device can be formed as an integral device to run through the start and end points of the entire seed processing automation system, or it can be formed as a segmented conveying device to transport the seed trays to the target device in segments.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the conveying device only carries one disc for movement. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the conveying device 1 of the present invention is not limited to this; the conveying device 1 can also convey multiple discs 100 simultaneously, or convey the discs 100 individually in sequence. Conveying multiple discs simultaneously allows for processing multiple discs at the same time in certain processes, improving work efficiency; while conveying a disc individually ensures that the discs do not interfere with each other, simplifying the equipment and improving the operational accuracy of the disc processing.

[0057] 1.2 Cutting device

[0058] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the cutting device 2 in a bend processing system.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutting device 2 includes a first cutting mechanism 2a and a second cutting mechanism 2b, which are arranged in the conveying direction of the cutting disk 100 and are different from the cutting direction of the seed cutting.

[0060] Specifically, the seed tray 100, which is loaded with seed buds, is conveyed by the conveying device 1 to the cutting device 2. In the cutting device, the seed buds pass through a first cutting mechanism 2a and a second cutting mechanism 2b with different cutting directions in sequence. After being cut at least twice, the seed buds on the tray are formed into block-shaped seed buds.

[0061] In this embodiment, a cutting device 2 is provided before the collection device 3. The seed stalks placed on the stalk plate 100 are cut into blocks by at least two cuts in different directions by the first cutting mechanism 2a and the second cutting mechanism 2b, which facilitates collection by the subsequent collection device 3.

[0062] Among them, the better combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first cutting mechanism 2a includes a first cutting component 2a1, a first fixing component 2a2 connected to the first cutting component 2a1, and a first actuating component 2a3. The cutting direction of the first cutting component 2a1 relative to the seed curve is orthogonal to the conveying direction. Similarly, the second cutting mechanism 2b includes a second cutting component 2b1, a second fixing component 2b2, and a second actuating component 2b3. Unlike the first cutting component 2a1, the cutting direction of the second cutting component 2b1 relative to the seed curve is the conveying direction.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the first cutting component 2a1 has a shaft portion 2a11 and a plurality of strip-shaped slices 2a12 arranged around the shaft portion 2a11 and extending from the shaft portion 2a11. The length direction of each strip-shaped slice 2a12 is the cutting direction of the first cutting component 2a1 (orthogonal to the conveying direction). The two ends of the shaft portion 2a11 are fixed to the first fixing component 2a2 and can rotate under the action of the first actuating component 2a3. Similarly, the second cutting component 2a1 may have a shaft portion 2a11 corresponding to the first cutting component, and the two ends of the shaft portion 2a11 are fixed to the second fixing component 2b2 and can rotate under the action of the second actuating component 2b3. The difference is that the second cutting component 2b has circular slices, and the cutting direction is the cutting direction of the second cutting component 2b1 (the conveying direction).

[0064] Specifically, taking the first cutting mechanism 2a as an example, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first fixing component 2a2 is disposed at both ends of the shaft portion 2a11 of the first cutting component 2a1 and is rotatably connected to both ends of the shaft portion 2a11 of the first cutting component 2a1, thereby restricting the first cutting component 2a1 and making it rotate stably. Furthermore, a first actuating component 2a3 is disposed at the end of the first fixing component 2a2 away from the shaft portion 2a11. In this embodiment, preferably, the first actuating component 2a3 includes an actuating motor as shown in the figure, which is rotatably connected to the first fixing component 2a2a. The first actuating component 2a3 also includes a transmission belt, which connects the shaft portion 2a11 and the actuating motor 2a3. Thus, the actuating motor can drive the shaft portion 2a11 to rotate, and the shaft portion 2a11 drives the strip-shaped slice 2a12 to rotate and cut. Moreover, the cutting speed of the first cutting component 2a1 can be controlled by controlling the rotational speed of the actuating motor.

[0065] In this embodiment, the cutting direction of the first cutting component 2a1 is orthogonal to the conveying direction, and the cutting direction of the second cutting component 2b1 is the conveying direction.

[0066] Furthermore, a first fixing component 2a1 and a second fixing component 2b1 are correspondingly provided in the first bending mechanism 2a and the second bending mechanism 2b, so that the cutting device 2 can maintain high cutting stability when the bending disk 100 moves on the conveying device. In addition, a first actuating component 2a3 and a second actuating component 2b3 are correspondingly matched to the first cutting component 2a1 and the second cutting component 2b1, driving the first cutting component 2a1 and the second cutting component 2b1 to actively rotate and cut, so that the cutting components can perform stable and uniform cutting actions, and at the same time, the rotation speed of the cutting components becomes controllable.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first bending mechanism 2a and the second bending mechanism 2b further include a first lifting component 2a4 and a second lifting component (not shown), and the first cutting component 2a1 and the second cutting component 2b1 are capable of moving up and down in a direction approaching or away from the curved plate 100 under the action of the first lifting component 2a4 and the second lifting component. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, as Figure 5 As shown, at least one of the plurality of strip-shaped slices 2a12 is configured to have a lower end portion 2a12a connected to the shaft portion 2a11 and an upper end portion 2a12b located on the opposite side of the end portion. A plurality of notches 2a12c are formed at intervals along the cutting direction (a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction) on the upper end portion 2a12b. According to this preferred technical solution, providing a plurality of notches 2a12c at intervals at the upper end portion of the strip-shaped slice 2a12 near the curved disc (i.e., the cutting end of the slice) is more advantageous for cutting.

[0068] Among them, the better option is to combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 The upper end 2a12b and the lower end 2a12a are formed with different widths, and a connected step portion 2a13 is formed in the lower end 2a12a. The slicing arrangement with a wider lower end and a narrower upper end can further increase the cutting stability of the first cutting mechanism 2a during the cutting process. Furthermore, the connected step portion 2a13 between the lower ends 2a12a allows for compression cutting even for occasional beaded pieces that enter between two slices during the cutting process, further improving the efficiency of the cutting operation.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cutting device 2 further includes a measuring mechanism and a control mechanism, which can correspond to the measuring device 7 and the control device described above, respectively. They have the same structure and principle, and will be described in detail in the following sections.

[0070] Those skilled in the art will understand that the same preferred structures, such as providing multiple notches at the upper end of the circular slices and providing stepped portions between the circular slices, are also applicable to the second cutting mechanism.

[0071] 1.3 Collection device

[0072] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the collection device 3 in a certain type of curd processing system.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the collection device 3 includes a negative pressure mechanism (not shown), a collection pipe 3c, a first suction mechanism 3a, and a second suction mechanism 3b. The first suction mechanism 3a and the second suction mechanism 3b are arranged in the conveying direction of the disc 100 and have different suction directions relative to the seed culture.

[0074] Specifically, for the tray 100 containing seed koji that is conveyed by the conveying device 1 to the collecting device 3, the negative pressure mechanism in the collecting device 3 maintains negative pressure in the pipe and the koji suction mechanism. Thus, when the tray 100 containing seed koji passes sequentially through the first suction mechanism 3a and the second suction mechanism 3b with different suction directions in the collecting device 3, the seed koji on the tray 100 is collected into the collecting pipe and aggregated into the corresponding seed koji container for use in subsequent processes by means of the internal negative pressure.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, the first suction mechanism 3a is arranged at one end near the curved plate 100 in an inclined direction along the conveying direction of the curved plate 100, and correspondingly, the second suction mechanism 3b is arranged at one end near the curved plate 100 in a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction of the curved plate 100.

[0076] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the collection device is illustrated by using a two-way negative pressure suction method to collect seed buds. However, the collection device involved in this invention is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art will understand that other collection methods can also collect seed buds on the tray. For example, scraping the seed buds on the tray 100, collecting the scraped seed buds in a container placed below the tray 100 and recycling them can also be applied to this invention.

[0077] 1.4 Cleaning device

[0078] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the cleaning device 4 in a certain type of curing system.

[0079] like Figure 8 As shown, the cleaning device 4 includes: a scraping mechanism 4a for scraping off residues on the placement surface of the crank plate 100; a rinsing mechanism 4b for cleaning the crank plate 100 using a cleaning medium; and a crank plate limiting mechanism 4c for limiting the crank plate 100 when the scraping mechanism 4a or the rinsing mechanism 4b is working. The scraping mechanism 4a, the rinsing mechanism 4b, and the crank plate limiting mechanism 4c are spaced apart in the conveying direction of the crank plate.

[0080] The cleaning medium can be any medium that has a cleaning effect on the disc, and there are no limitations on the type and phase of the medium. For example, the cleaning medium can be a solid cleaning agent, liquid water, or a gaseous cleaning agent. All of these are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0081] Specifically, for a disc 100 with residual spores on the placement surface 1001 of the conveying device 1 to the cleaning device 4, when the disc limiting mechanism 4c restricts the disc within the working range of the rinsing mechanism 4b in the cleaning device 4, the rinsing mechanism 4b cleans the disc 100. When the disc limiting mechanism 4c restricts the disc 100 within the working range of the scraping mechanism 4b, the scraping mechanism 4a scrapes off the residual spores or cleaning medium on the disc.

[0082] In this embodiment, the mechanical structure automatically washes and scrapes away residues inside the crank tray, solving the problems of work fatigue and strength limitations associated with manual operation. This results in higher crank tray cleaning efficiency and facilitates subsequent re-creation of the crank tray. Furthermore, during mechanical washing and scraping, the crank tray limiting mechanism 4c restricts the position of the crank tray 100, further improving the cleaning quality of the cleaning device 4.

[0083] Preferably, the rinsing mechanism 4b is located upstream of the scraping mechanism 4a, and preferably uses a fluid at a temperature higher than normal to clean the crank plate 100. Furthermore, the scraping mechanism 4a is located downstream of the rinsing mechanism 4b, which can also scrape off the cleaning medium remaining in the crank plate 100 during the rinsing mechanism 4b cleaning of the crank plate 100 while scraping off the residue on the placement surface 1001, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0084] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 9 As shown, the cleaning device 4 also includes a brushing mechanism 4d, which brushes the disc 100 while or after the rinsing mechanism 4b is working.

[0085] It is important to note that, in Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the cleaning apparatus 4 of the present invention shown, the rinsing mechanism 4b, the brushing mechanism 4d and the scraping mechanism 4a are arranged sequentially and spaced apart in the conveying direction of the crank plate 100. However, the cleaning apparatus 4 of the present invention is not limited to this. The above-mentioned mechanisms can also be arranged in other orders in the conveying direction of the crank plate.

[0086] The following is a detailed description of the specific structure of each mechanism in the cleaning device 4.

[0087] 1.4.1 Scraping Mechanism

[0088] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the scraping mechanism 4a in the cleaning device.

[0089] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10The scraping mechanism 4a includes a scraper 4a1 and a positioning unit (not shown) connected to the scraper 4a1. The scraper 4a1 is arranged in an inclined manner relative to the conveying direction of the crank 100. The positioning unit controls the position of the scraper 4a1 so that it can move to a working position that is in contact with the placement surface 1001 of the crank 100 or to a retracted position that is away from the working position.

[0090] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 10 As shown, the scraping mechanism 4a also includes a fluid discharge component 4a2, which is disposed opposite to the edge of the scraper 4a1 and discharges gas or liquid to that edge.

[0091] 1.4.2 Flushing Mechanism

[0092] Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram of the rinsing mechanism in the cleaning device.

[0093] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 11 The rinsing mechanism 4b includes a plurality of nozzles arranged in a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction. The plurality of nozzles include an upper nozzle 4b1 and a lower nozzle 4b2, and a gap is provided between the upper nozzle 4b1 and the lower nozzle 4b2 for the passage of the curved plate 100.

[0094] Specifically, when the curved disc 100 is confined within the working range of the rinsing mechanism 4b by the curved disc limiting mechanism 4c, the upper nozzle 4b1 and the lower nozzle 4b2 spray cleaning medium onto the curved disc. This cleaning medium can be any medium that has a cleaning effect on the curved disc; the type and phase of the medium are not limited here. After the upper and lower nozzles have finished cleaning the curved disc, the curved disc limiting mechanism 4c releases the curved disc 100, and the curved disc 100 continues to move along the conveying direction.

[0095] Among them, the better ones, such as Figure 9 As shown, two cleaning mechanisms 4b are provided in the cleaning device 4.

[0096] 1.4.3 Crank plate limiting mechanism

[0097] The crank plate limiting mechanism 4c limits the crank plate 100 when the scraping mechanism 4a or the rinsing mechanism 4b is working. Its number, position, and specific structure are not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the crank plate limiting mechanism 4c includes a guide component and a limiting component, which can contact and align with the crank plate 100 for limiting.

[0098] As an example, Figure 12 for Figure 9 A magnified view of a portion of area a, combined with Figure 9 and Figure 12The limiting component is formed as a pressure plate 4c1 disposed on both sides of the conveying device 1. The pressure plate 4c1 matches the side shape of the curved disk 100 along the conveying direction. It can limit the position of the curved disk by generating friction on the side of the curved disk 100. The guiding component is formed as a guide plate 4c2 disposed at the beginning of the pressure plate 4c1 in the conveying direction. One end of the guide plate 4c2 is connected to the pressure plate 4c1, and the end away from the pressure plate 4c1 extends toward the side facing the placement surface 1001 of the curved disk 100.

[0099] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the conveying device 1 conveys the curved disc 100 into the cleaning device 4, the curved disc 100 first contacts the arc surface of the guide plate 4c2, and is guided by the arc surface to the underside of the pressure plate strip 4c1 that matches the side shape of the curved disc 100. When the curved disc 100 moves into the working range of the scraping mechanism 4a or the rinsing mechanism 4b, the pressure plate strip 4c1 presses down towards the side of the curved disc 100. The pressure of the pressure plate strip 4c1 on the side of the curved disc 100 increases, thereby generating a large frictional force, which restricts the movement of the curved disc 100. When the scraping mechanism 4a or the rinsing mechanism 4b finishes its work, the pressure plate strip 4c1 returns to its original position, and the curved disc 100 can continue to move with the conveying device 1.

[0100] 1.4.4 Scrubbing Mechanism

[0101] Figure 13 This is a structural schematic diagram of the 4d brushing mechanism in the cleaning device.

[0102] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 13 The brushing mechanism 4d includes a brush plate unit 4d1, a brushing lifting unit 4d2 connected to the brush plate unit 4d1, and a brushing actuation unit 4d3 that can drive the brush plate unit 4d2 to rotate and brush. The brush plate unit 4d1 can move up and down in the direction of approaching or moving away from the curved plate 100 under the action of the brushing lifting unit 4d2.

[0103] Specifically, while or after the rinsing mechanism 4b is working, the brush unit 4d1 descends towards the curved disk 100 under the control of the brush lifting unit 4d2 until the brush unit 4d1 contacts the placement surface 1001 of the curved disk 100. Then, the brush actuation unit 4d3 drives the brush unit 4d1 to move and brush the placement surface 1001 of the curved disk 100. After brushing is completed, the brush lifting unit 4d2 controls the brush unit 4d1 to rise away from the curved disk 100, and the brush actuation unit 4d3 is turned off, ending the brushing process.

[0104] Figure 13 The brushing unit 4d1 shown includes a shaft portion 4d11 and a cleaning brush 4d12 that surrounds the shaft portion 4d11 and extends spirally.

[0105] 1.5 Drying device

[0106] Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the drying device 5 in a koji processing system.

[0107] like Figure 14 As shown, the drying device 5 includes: a scraping mechanism 5a for scraping off residues on the placement surface 1001 of the curved disc 100; a suction mechanism 5b for suctioning the placement surface 1001 of the curved disc 100; and a heating mechanism 5c for heating either the placement surface 1001 of the curved disc 100 or the bottom surface (not shown) of the curved disc 100 opposite to the placement surface 1001. The scraping mechanism 5a, the suction mechanism 5b, and the heating mechanism 5c are spaced apart in the conveying direction of the curved disc 100.

[0108] Specifically, for the curved disc 100 with residual cleaning medium or impurities on the placement surface 1001 of the conveying device 1 being conveyed to the drying device 5, in the drying device 5, the residual cleaning medium or impurities on the placement surface 1001 of the curved disc 100 are scraped off by the scraping mechanism 5a, the suction mechanism 5b is sucked up from the placement surface 1001 of the curved disc 100, and the heating device heats and dries any side of the curved disc 100, thereby obtaining a clean and dry curved disc 100.

[0109] In this embodiment, Figure 14 In this embodiment, the drying device 5 also includes an additional heating mechanism 5c between the scraping mechanism 5a and the suction mechanism 5b. This heating mechanism provides initial heating to the disc that has passed through the scraping mechanism 5a but not yet through the suction mechanism 5b. The additional heating mechanism performs multiple heating cycles to achieve a higher degree of dryness. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the scraping mechanism 5a in the drying device 5 has the same structure and operation as the scraping mechanism 4a in the cleaning device 4, and will not be described in detail here.

[0110] The following is a detailed description of the specific structures of the suction mechanism 5b and the heating mechanism 5c in the cleaning device 4.

[0111] 1.5.1 Absorption Mechanism

[0112] Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the suction mechanism 5b in the drying device.

[0113] Combination Figure 14 and Figure 15 The suction mechanism 5b includes at least one suction port 5b1, which is configured to face the placement surface 1001 of the crank 100 during operation; a suction tube 5b2, one end of which is connected to the suction port 5b1; and a negative pressure generating component (not shown) connected to the suction tube 5b2.

[0114] Specifically, when the curved disc 100 is transported by the conveying device 1 to the working range of the suction mechanism 5b, the suction port 5b1 of the suction mechanism 5b is opposite to the placement surface 1001 of the curved disc 100, and a negative pressure is maintained inside the suction pipe 5b2 by a negative pressure generating component, thereby the airflow carries the cleaning medium and impurities on the placement surface 1001 of the curved disc 100 into the suction port 5b1. Preferably, as Figure 15 As shown, the suction mechanism 5b includes three suction ports arranged sequentially along a direction orthogonal to the conveying direction: suction port 5b11, suction port 5b12, and suction port 5b13. The middle suction port 5b12, along with the two ports 5b11 and 5b13 on either side, are configured to perform suction at different times or with different suction intensities. Furthermore, a lifting mechanism 5b3 is provided to control the raising and lowering of the suction mechanism 5b.

[0115] 1.5.2 Heating Mechanism

[0116] Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the heating mechanism 5c in the drying device.

[0117] Combination Figure 14 and Figure 16 The heating mechanism 5c includes a first air outlet 5c1 and a second air outlet 5c2 arranged vertically opposite each other to clamp the crank plate 100 during operation. Specifically, when the crank plate 100 is conveyed by the conveying device 1 into the working range of the heating mechanism 5c, that is, when the crank plate moves between the first air outlet 5c1 and the second air outlet 5c2, the first air outlet 5c1 blows hot air onto the placement surface of the crank plate 100 to heat the crank plate 100, and the second air outlet 5c2 blows hot air onto the bottom surface opposite the placement surface 1001 of the crank plate to heat the crank plate 100. Preferably, as shown... Figure 14 As shown, two heating mechanisms 5c are provided in the heating device 5. The upstream heating mechanism 5c0 is an auxiliary heating mechanism, which is set between the scraping mechanism 5a and the suction mechanism 5b along the conveying direction of the curved disk 100. It performs initial heating on the curved disk 100 after scraping by the upstream scraping mechanism 5a, and heats the curved disk 100 to a warm state (i.e., slightly higher than the room temperature).

[0118] 1.6 Fabric feeding device

[0119] Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of the fabric distribution device 6 in a fabric processing system.

[0120] like Figure 17 As shown, the fabric device 6 includes: a stirring mechanism 6a for stirring the koji raw material; and a composite processing mechanism 6b for performing composite processing on the koji raw material stirred by the stirring mechanism 6a. The composite processing includes any one of intelligent conveying processing, dispersing processing, and variable supply processing.

[0121] Specifically, in the feeding device 6, the starter culture material (including at least one or more of the following: husk, soybean meal, or maltose, without particular limitation) is fed into the stirring mechanism 6a for stirring. The stirred starter culture material is then fed into the compounding mechanism 6b, where it undergoes one or more of the following treatments: intelligent conveying, dispersing, and variable supply. Finally, it is output to the placement surface of the clean and dry starter culture tray 100, which is conveyed from the upstream side by the conveying device 1.

[0122] After collecting and cleaning the koji cultured on the koji tray 100, the koji tray 100 can be used for koji cultivation again. At this time, the koji raw materials, namely one or more combinations of koji bran, soybean meal, or maltose, need to be mixed and stirred evenly, and spread evenly on the clean and dry koji tray 100. In this process, directly spreading the stirred koji raw materials often results in uneven distribution of the koji raw materials. For example, in a koji tray, some areas may have a thicker layer of koji raw materials, while others may have a thinner layer. Or, the thickness of the koji raw materials on different koji trays may vary greatly. If the koji raw materials are too thick, some koji raw materials may not be usable by Aspergillus. If the koji raw materials are too thin, there may be too much Aspergillus in that area and not enough raw materials. Both of these will affect the yield of koji cultivation. In addition, because the koji raw materials have a lot of sugar, they are more likely to stick together to form lumps of koji raw materials. Inside these lumps of koji raw materials, oxygen is insufficient, and Aspergillus cannot survive, which is also not conducive to koji cultivation. In this embodiment, after the starter culture raw materials are stirred, they are subjected to composite processing by a composite processing mechanism 6a. Specifically, this includes any one of the following processes: intelligent conveying, dispersing, and variable supply. This allows the starter culture raw materials to achieve one or more of the following technical effects: intelligent conveying based on the composition of the starter culture raw materials; maintaining the starter culture raw materials loose and preventing clumping; and controlling the supply amount of the starter culture raw materials under different conditions. In particular, the composite processing comprehensively controls the conveying, dispersing, and supplying aspects, allowing them to work together to achieve overall technical improvement.

[0123] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drying device 5 further includes a measuring mechanism and a control mechanism, which correspond to the measuring device 7 and the control device, respectively. The control mechanism may be the control device itself or a branch control mechanism distributed in each device. The measuring mechanism may be a specific sensor in the measuring device 7 that is disposed in the fabric device 6, which will be described in detail in a later section.

[0124] Among them, the better location, Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the composite processing mechanism 6b of the fabric device 6 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 18As shown, the composite processing mechanism 6b includes: a rotary conveyor 6b1 that receives the koji raw material after it has been stirred by the stirring mechanism 6a; a first disperser 6b2 that disperses the koji raw material conveyed by the rotary conveyor 6b1; a variable feeder 6b3 that outputs the koji raw material processed by the first disperser 6b2 in a variable output manner; and a second disperser 6b4 that further disperses the koji raw material output by the variable feeder 6b3. In particular, by using a control mechanism to adjust the output amount of the koji raw material output by the variable feeder 6b3, the second disperser 6b4 can also adjust its dispersing power, etc., according to the output amount or other information about the koji raw material, thus linking the output with the secondary dispersing and achieving a complementary technical effect.

[0125] Preferably, the composite processing mechanism 6b further includes a temporary storage container 6b20, which is disposed between the first disperser 6b2 and the variable feeder 6b3, for storing the seed koji raw material dispersed by the first disperser 6b2.

[0126] Preferably, the variable feeder 6b3 includes an output port 6b31 and an opening adjustment component (not shown), which adjusts the output amount of the seed koji material. The configuration of the opening adjustment component is not particularly limited; for example, it can be a sliding opening and closing component or a rotary adjustment component, as long as it can adjust the output amount of the seed koji material.

[0127] Specifically, such as Figure 18 As shown, in the composite processing unit 6b, after the rotary conveyor 6b1 receives the starter culture material stirred by the stirring mechanism 6a, it rotates and transports the starter culture material. That is, within the conveyor cylinder of the rotary conveyor 6b1, the rotation of the spiral blades causes the starter culture material to rotate and be transported in one direction. The starter culture material is transported by the rotary conveyor 6b1 to the first disperser 6b2. The first disperser 6b2 performs the first dispersing treatment on the starter culture material, breaking down larger lumps and dispersing the starter culture material into a fine and uniform paste. The structure of the first disperser can adopt a known structure, which will not be described in detail here. No specific requirements are needed; as long as the dispersing effect can be achieved, the paste-like starter material output from the first disperser 6b2 enters the variable feeder 6b3. The variable feeder 6b3 adjusts the opening of the output port 6b31 through the opening adjustment component according to the instructions issued by the control mechanism or the pre-set output amount. Thus, a portion of the starter material is quantitatively output to the second dispersing mechanism 6b4, while the excess starter material is temporarily stored in the temporary storage container 6b20. In the second dispersing mechanism 6b4, the paste-like starter material is dispersed again, so that the paste-like starter material is evenly filled with fine air bubbles, resulting in fluffy starter material.

[0128] In this embodiment, the rotary conveyor 6b1 can perform secondary agitation on the koji raw material during the conveying process, effectively preventing the koji raw material from clumping. Furthermore, as a sealed conveyor, the rotary conveyor 6b1 can effectively prevent dust from flying, improving the working environment. Through multiple agitations, the clumped koji raw material is broken up, making the output koji raw material fluffy. The fine air bubbles mixed in the koji raw material are beneficial for subsequent koji-making. In addition, a variable feeder is set before the output, allowing control of the output amount of the koji raw material downstream of the composite processing mechanism 6b, resulting in a rapid response and precise control of the fabric distribution.

[0129] Preferably, the rotary conveyor 6b1, the first disperser 6b2, the temporary storage container 6b20, the variable feeder 6b3, and the second disperser 6b4 are arranged sequentially along the gravity direction, thereby utilizing gravity to transport the koji raw materials sequentially to each device for processing. This helps save energy. Furthermore, transporting along the gravity direction prevents the koji raw materials from flowing back in the rotary conveyor, which could damage the spiral blades. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the gravity-direction arrangement is only a preferred embodiment, and that any arrangement of the above-mentioned mechanisms in other directions does not exceed the scope of protection of this invention.

[0130] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the type of stirring mechanism 6a is not limited. For example, the stirring mechanism 6a can be a paddle mixer, a frame mixer, or any other type of mechanism capable of stirring the raw materials for koji. Simply replacing the number and type of stirring mechanism 6a in this invention does not exceed the protection scope of this invention.

[0131] Furthermore, the following description will provide a detailed explanation of how the measuring device 7 and the control device control the operation of the fabric-making device 6.

[0132] 1.7 Measuring and Control Devices

[0133] The measuring device 7 can measure any one of a plurality of parameters during the koji processing. The plurality of parameters include at least: the position of the koji tray 100 or the quantity of koji raw materials placed thereon, and the position or movement state of the collecting device 3, the washing device 4, the drying device 5, and the spreading device 6. The control device can control the operation of at least one of the conveying device 1, the collecting device 3, the washing device 4, the drying device 5, and the spreading device 6 based on the measurement data of the measuring device 9. The quantity, position, and composition of the two are not particularly limited.

[0134] Among them, Figure 1The example illustrates one installation position of the measuring device 7 when measuring the position of the crank 100, but the measuring device 7 in this invention is not limited to this, and other installation positions are also applicable to this invention.

[0135] In addition, the measuring device 7 and the control device, as a measurement-control system, can also function as measuring and control mechanisms within each device to achieve real-time monitoring and control within the device. The measurement and control response principles are the same as those of the measuring device and the control device, thus forming a tree-like control chain in the automated koji processing system. This facilitates precise control of the koji processing process. By precisely controlling each processing step, the quality of koji processing can be improved, and excess energy loss during koji processing can be avoided.

[0136] Furthermore, the control device of the present invention is automatically controlled by a controller. The specific control circuit of the controller is implemented by those skilled in the art through programming. Since the present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the present invention only describes the changes in the operation of the mechanical device when controlled by the control device, and does not explain the specific control method and circuit connection in detail.

[0137] Furthermore, the measuring device of the present invention collects parameters using existing measuring instruments such as temperature sensors and gravity sensors. The working principles of these measuring instruments are common knowledge in the field, so the parameter acquisition process will not be explained in detail in the present invention.

[0138] As an example, in the fabric feeding device 6, the measuring mechanism measures any one of the following: image, density, and hardness of the raw material after it has been stirred by the stirring mechanism 6a, and obtains measurement data. The control mechanism adjusts the operating parameters of any one of the following devices: the rotary conveyor 6b1, the first disperser 6b2, the second disperser 6b4, and the variable feeder 6b3, based on the measurement data.

[0139] As a specific example of the above example, in the fabric feeding device 6, the measuring mechanism measures the image of the raw material and obtains measurement data, and the control mechanism controls the rotation speed of the rotary conveyor 6b1 based on the measurement data. For example, when the image data obtained by the measuring mechanism shows that the raw material is in a relatively compact state, the control mechanism increases the rotation speed of the rotary conveyor 6b1 to obtain a better conveying effect.

[0140] As another specific example of the above examples, in the fabric feeding device 6, the measuring mechanism measures the image and density of the raw material and obtains measurement data, and the control mechanism controls the power or working time of the first dispersing machine 6b2 and / or the second dispersing machine 6b4 according to the measurement data.

[0141] As another specific example of the above examples, in the fabric spreading device 6, the measuring mechanism also measures any one of the following: image, density, or hardness of the raw material in the temporary storage container 6b20, and obtains measurement data. The control mechanism controls the power or working time of the second dispersing machine 6b4 based on the measurement data. According to the above scheme, a linkage relationship is also established between the temporary storage container 6b20 and the devices in the fabric spreading device 6, so as to better realize intelligent processing.

[0142] As another specific example of the above examples, in the fabric feeding device 6, the measuring mechanism also measures any one of the following: image, density, or hardness of the raw material in the curved plate 100, and obtains measurement data. The control mechanism controls the opening adjustment component of the variable feeder 6b3 according to the measurement data to adjust the output of the raw material. Thus, the curved plate conveyed by the automated fabric feeding system is also controlled in a coordinated manner, enabling better intelligent fabric feeding processing.

[0143] As a variation, if the data obtained by the measuring mechanism shows that the raw material is already sufficiently loose before reaching the second disperser 6b4, the control mechanism controls the second disperser 6b4 to stop working.

[0144] In this embodiment, the measuring and control devices of the present invention have been illustrated by way of example. However, those skilled in the art will understand that the various measurement and control examples listed in this embodiment can be implemented by electronic hardware, computer software, or a combination of both, and established in communication with a corresponding mechanical structure. To clearly demonstrate the substitutability of hardware and software, the functions of the various illustrative components and control methods described above have been generally described. Whether such functions are implemented by hardware or software depends on the specific application and the design requirements of the entire system. Those skilled in the art can implement the described functions using various methods for each specific application, but such implementation should not be construed as exceeding the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0145] 1.8 Crankcase conveyor

[0146] like Figure 1As shown, the curved plate conveying device 8 is linked with the conveying device 1 to hand over the curved plate 100a to the cutting device 2 or to receive the curved plate 100b after the fabric is laid by the fabric-laying device 6 (the curved plate is defined as curved plate 100a and 100b in this part for distinction, but the description of curved plate 100 is still used in other descriptions). There are no particular limitations on its number, position and specific structure. For example, the curved plate conveying device 8 can be a mechanism for conveying the curved plate 100, which is set at the head and tail of the conveying device 1 and is composed of a curved plate frame and a curved plate transport vehicle. It can also be a mechanism for conveying the curved plate 100 by a conveying chain structure extending from the conveying device 1. Those skilled in the art will understand that any substitution of the structure and number of the curved plate conveying device 8 involved in this invention does not exceed the protection scope of this invention.

[0147] Specifically, in this embodiment, the skewing tray conveying device 8 is located upstream of the skewing device 2 and downstream of the fabric spreading device 6. The skewing tray conveying device 8 downstream of the fabric spreading device 6 receives the skewing tray 100b, which is sent out by the conveying device 1 and contains the seed koji material distributed by the fabric spreading device 6. The skewing tray 100b containing the seed koji material is then sent into the cultivation device for seed koji cultivation. The cultivated seed koji is then transferred by the skewing tray conveying device 8 upstream of the skewing device 2 to the conveying device 1, and then conveyed by the conveying device 1 to the skewing device 2.

[0148] 1.9 Recycling Device

[0149] like Figure 1 As shown, the recycling device 10 is located below at least one of the cutting device 2, the collecting device 3, the washing device 4, the drying device 5, and the cloth-making device 6. Its number, location, and specific structure are not particularly limited. In some specific embodiments, the recycling device can be formed as a dust collection hopper located below each device.

[0150] The recycling device 10, as a recycling unit, is built into the lower part of the device for processing seed koji in the seed koji automated processing system of the present invention. It is used to collect the waste generated during seed koji processing and to recycle or process and discharge the waste according to the different types of waste.

[0151] Specifically, as an example, a recycling unit in the recycling device 10 is located below the drying device 5 to collect the cleaning medium containing impurities generated when the drying device 5 dries the disc. Preferably, the recycling unit is connected to one end of the suction pipe 5b2 of the suction mechanism 5b in the drying device 5, which can directly collect the cleaning medium containing impurities on the surface of the disc sucked by the suction mechanism 5b to the recycling unit for centralized processing, avoiding splashing or overflow that could cause pollution to the environment or technicians near the equipment.

[0152] As another example, a recycling unit in the recycling device 10 is located below the cloth-laying device 6 to collect the koji raw materials that fall into the outer area of ​​the koji tray 100 when the cloth-laying device 6 stirs, disperses, and quantitatively processes the koji raw materials. Furthermore, the recycling unit is connected to the cultivation device described later and transports the collected koji raw materials to the cultivation device for cultivation, thereby reducing the loss of koji raw materials during the processing.

[0153] 1.10 Cultivation Apparatus

[0154] like Figure 1 As shown, the cultivation device 9 receives the tray 100b containing the seed koji material from the tray conveying device 8 and inoculates and cultivates the seed koji material. Afterward, the tray containing the cultivated seed koji is handed over to the tray conveying device 8.

[0155] The cultivation device 9 of the present invention does not limit the method of inoculating and cultivating the seed koji raw material. This method is common knowledge in the field. Moreover, the present invention is mainly used for the seed koji processing process. Therefore, the present invention only describes the detailed process of processing the seed koji on the koji tray, and does not explain in detail the process of inoculating the seed koji raw material with Aspergillus and cultivating it.
