[0034] See also Figure 1-4 A fermentation system for facilitating raw material processing includes a storage box 1 and a working box 2 arranged above the storage box 1.
[0035] Storage box 1 is equipped with a drive element, and a valve mechanism is installed at the connection between storage box 1 and working box 2 to control the flow of material from working box 2 into storage box 1. In this solution, the valve mechanism includes a feed port (not shown) at the top of storage box 1, a receiving groove on one side of the feed port, a sealing plate slidably connected to the receiving groove, and a driving cylinder that drives the sealing plate. The outer end of the sealing plate can block the feed port, and the driving cylinder is mounted on storage box 1.
[0036] A stirring mechanism driven by a driving member is provided in the working box 2 , and a plurality of feeding mechanisms are provided outside the working box 2 .
[0037] The stirring mechanism includes a crankshaft 3 vertically arranged in the working box 2 and a plurality of stirring rods 9 installed on the outside of the crankshaft 3. A stirring rod 9 is installed at the bottom of the crankshaft 3, which can stir and mix the various raw materials entering the working box 2 at the bottom of the working box 2.
[0038] In this solution, the feeding mechanism includes a storage bin 12 and a mounting cylinder 11 located at the bottom of the bin 12. The housing of the work box 2 is provided with a feed port 4 corresponding to the mounting cylinder 11. The bottom of the storage bin 12 is open and connected to the horizontal mounting cylinder 11. A piston plate 16 is movably mounted within the mounting cylinder 11. The piston plates 16 in different feeding mechanisms are connected to different cranks 15 on the crankshaft 3 via connecting rods 10. The rotation of the crankshaft 3 drives the cranks, which in turn, via the connecting rods 10, reciprocate the piston plates 16 in each mounting cylinder 11, pushing any material that has fallen into the mounting cylinder 11 into the work box 2. This automated operation improves work efficiency.
[0039] In this solution, the driving member is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the crankshaft 3.
[0040] The side wall of the storage bin 12 is tilted, and an anti-blocking mechanism 13 is provided in the storage bin 12, which is movably driven by a piston plate 16. The anti-blocking mechanism 13 can effectively prevent the raw materials from adhering to the wall of the storage bin 12 and being unable to enter the installation cylinder smoothly.
[0041] The anti-blocking mechanism 13 includes a mounting bracket 29, a rotating shaft 31, a stirring rod 32 and a linkage mechanism. The mounting bracket 29 is connected to the storage bin 12. The rotating shaft 31 is arranged longitudinally. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 31 is close to the bottom opening of the storage bin 12, and several stirring rods 32 are installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 31. The linkage mechanism is used to link the piston plate 16 and the rotating shaft 31.
[0042] The linkage mechanism includes a transmission shaft 14 provided at the outer end of the mounting bracket 29. The top end of the transmission shaft 14 and the rotating shaft 31 are connected by a belt transmission mechanism. A gear 26 is installed at the bottom end of the transmission shaft 14. A strip hole 23 is opened on the shell of the mounting cylinder 11 along its length direction. A connecting column 24 is movably provided in the strip hole 23. One end of the connecting column 24 is connected to the piston plate 16. The other end of the connecting column 24 is installed with a driving tooth plate 27 located on the outside of the mounting cylinder 11. The driving tooth plate 27 and the gear 26 are engaged for transmission.
[0043] The side of the piston plate 16 away from the working box 2 is provided with a baffle 25 that can block the bottom opening of the corresponding storage bin 12. The designed baffle 25 can prevent the raw materials in the storage bin from entering the side of the raw material working box of the piston plate 16 when the piston plate 16 slides in the mounting cylinder 11, and the operation is stable and reliable.
[0044] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the belt transmission mechanism includes two transmission discs 28 and a transmission belt 30 . The two transmission discs 28 are respectively mounted on the rotating shaft 31 and the transmission shaft 14 . The transmission belt 30 is used to connect the two transmission discs 28 .
[0045] The top end of the crankshaft 3 is rotatably connected to a connector 5 located outside the working box 2. A feed pipe 6 is connected to the other side of the connector 5. This feed pipe 6 is used to connect to an external liquid supply mechanism, which is used to provide fermentation liquid to each liquid storage chamber. A liquid storage chamber 8 is defined within the crankshaft 3 and communicates with the feed pipe 6. A pressurizing mechanism is also mounted on the crank 15. Connecting holes 17 corresponding to the liquid storage chambers 8 are defined on the crankshaft's top. These connecting holes 17 are connected by an external water pipe provided on the outer wall of the crankshaft 3, ensuring that each liquid storage chamber 8 can receive liquid.
[0046] The pressurizing mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 21, each with an electromagnet 22 mounted on adjacent sides. One mounting plate 21 is connected to the crankshaft 3, while the other mounting plate 21 is connected to a piston rod 20. One end of the piston rod 20 extends into the liquid reservoir 8 and is mounted on the pressurizing piston plate 18. When energized, the two electromagnets 22 magnetically attract and repel each other. This pressurizing mechanism ensures smooth injection of the bacterial solution into the mixed material.
[0047] The inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 8 is provided with a liquid storage hole that passes through the crankshaft, and a spray head 19 is installed at the outer end of the liquid storage hole that is connected to the liquid storage chamber 8 located above. Since the outer side of the crankshaft 3 below is covered with mixed materials, the bacterial liquid cannot enter the mixed materials without applying a certain pressure.
[0048] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
