Abstract
Description
A multifunctional garlic fermentation tank Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of garlic fermentation technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional garlic fermentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] Black garlic, also known as fermented black garlic or black garlic, is a food product made from fresh raw garlic that has been fermented with its skin on for 60 to 90 days. Existing fermentation tanks typically involve placing the garlic inside and then using a heating device for high-temperature fermentation. However, because the heating device is located at the bottom of the tank, the temperature at the bottom is higher than at the top, resulting in inconsistent temperatures at different distances from the heating device. This leads to inconsistent fermentation results, reducing the overall fermentation efficiency. Therefore, this invention designs a multifunctional garlic fermentation tank to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional garlic fermentation tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

The end of the limiting plate away from the spring is connected to a telescopic rod, and all four telescopic rods pass through the fixed sleeves and are connected to the movable plate.
[0007] Preferably, the mixing assembly further includes a connecting rod rotatably mounted on the side wall of the housing. Two eccentric wheels are symmetrically arranged along the middle of the outer side of the connecting rod. The length of the eccentric wheels is greater than the distance between the movable plate and the connecting rod. A driven gear three is connected to the outer side of one of the eccentric wheels. The driven gear three meshes with a driving gear three. The driven gear three is located at the top of the rotating rod. Four ventilation openings are provided above the movable plate. Each of the four ventilation openings has a backstop assembly installed inside. The backstop assemblies on the same side form a group, and the backstop directions of the two groups of backstop assemblies are opposite.
[0008] Preferably, the single set of the anti-reverse assembly includes a circular baffle rotatably disposed in the inner cavity of the vent, a return spring connected to the outer side of the circular baffle, one end of the return spring being connected to the circular baffle, and the other end of the return spring being connected to an L-shaped plate, the L-shaped plate being disposed on the outer side of the movable plate.
[0009] Preferably, a single pressure relief assembly includes a mounting bracket disposed on the outside of the rotating shaft. A connecting sleeve is connected to the side of the mounting bracket near the fermentation chamber. A second spring is disposed in the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve. One end of the second spring is connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, and the other end of the second spring is connected to a mounting plate. A movable rod is connected to the end of the mounting plate away from the second spring. The movable rod passes through the connecting sleeve and is connected to a sealing ball on the side away from the mounting plate.
[0010] Preferably, pressure relief ports are provided on both sides of the fermentation chamber. The diameter of the pressure relief port is smaller than the diameter of the sealing ball, and the pressure relief port is in contact with the sealing ball but not connected to it.
[0011] Preferably, the limiting component includes a first mounting block disposed on the outside of the fermentation chamber and a second mounting block disposed on the outside of the arc-shaped baffle. The second mounting block has a limiting hole in the middle. The side of the first mounting block close to the second mounting block is connected to a connecting block. Both sides of the connecting block have mounting grooves. The inner cavity of the mounting groove is connected to a third spring. The end of the third spring is connected to a connecting plate. The side of the connecting plate away from the third spring is connected to a wedge-shaped block. The wedge-shaped block passes through the mounting groove and is connected to the connecting plate.
[0012] Preferably, a door is rotatably connected to the outer side of the box, and a handle is connected to the outer side of the door.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: In the present invention, by setting a rotating component, the device can control the fermentation chamber to rotate continuously, so that the surface of the fermentation chamber is in uniform contact with the heating plate, and the garlic inside the fermentation chamber is turned and repositioned when the fermentation chamber rotates, so that the garlic inside can be fully and evenly heated, which improves the uniformity of garlic fermentation and avoids the impact on the fermentation effect of garlic due to uneven heating of individual garlic cloves.
[0014] In this invention, by setting up a mixing component, the device can continuously drive the movable plate to move up and down, while simultaneously driving two sets of anti-reverse components to mix the air inside the chamber. This allows the hot air closer to the heating plate to mix with the hot air farther away, thereby achieving the purpose of mixing the air inside the chamber above the partition. This avoids inconsistent temperatures of air at different distances from the heating plate, further improving the fermentation effect of the device when fermenting garlic.
[0015] In this invention, by setting up a pressure relief component, the device can automatically push the sealing ball outward when the pressure inside the fermentation chamber is too high, thereby releasing the pressure inside the fermentation chamber. This prevents the garlic inside the fermentation chamber from being squeezed and deformed due to excessive pressure, and also prevents the fermentation chamber from exploding due to excessive pressure, thus improving the safety of the device when fermenting garlic.
[0016] In this invention, by setting a limiting component, the device can limit the arc-shaped baffle when the fermentation chamber rotates, thus preventing garlic from falling out of the fermentation chamber during fermentation and improving the device's rationality. At the same time, by controlling whether the limiting component limits the arc-shaped baffle, the device can quickly open or close the arc-shaped baffle, making it easier to put garlic into the fermentation chamber or take out fermented garlic from the fermentation chamber, thereby improving the device's practicality.
[0017] In this invention, a drive motor simultaneously drives the rotating component and the mixing component to work. As the fermentation chamber rotates to the top after being heated by the heating plate, the mixing component simultaneously delivers preheated air from above the movable plate downwards to below the movable plate. This preheated air keeps the top surface of the fermentation chamber warm, preventing uneven surface temperatures caused by the top temperature being lower than the bottom temperature when the fermentation chamber rotates to the top. This improves the uniformity of heating on the surface of the fermentation chamber, thereby enhancing the fermentation effect on garlic. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-9. A multifunctional garlic fermentation tank includes a box body 1. The inner cavity of the box body 1 is provided with a partition 2. A heating plate is provided on the top of the partition 2. Two support frames 3 are arranged parallel above the partition 2. A rotating shaft 4 is connected to the opposite side of the two support frames 3. A fermentation chamber 5 is connected between the two rotating shafts 4. A rotating component 6 is provided below the partition 2. The rotating component 6 passes through the partition 2 and is connected to the rotating shaft 4. A mixing component 7 is connected to the top wall of the box body 1. The mixing component 7 is connected to the rotating component 6. Pressure relief components 8 are provided at both ends of the fermentation chamber 5. A slot is opened on the outer side of the fermentation chamber 5. An arc-shaped baffle 9 is rotatably connected to the slot. A limiting component 10 is connected to the outer side of the arc-shaped baffle 9. The limiting component 10 is connected to the fermentation chamber 5. In order to facilitate the handling and addition of garlic, a door 11 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the box body 1. A handle 12 is connected to the outer side of the door 11.
[0032] First, open the door 11 using handle 12, then release the limiting component 10 from the arc-shaped baffle 9, open the arc-shaped baffle 9 and put the processed garlic into the fermentation chamber 5. Close the arc-shaped baffle 9 and the door 11, and control the heating plate on the top of the partition 2 to heat and keep the fermentation chamber 5 warm. Then, control the rotating component 6 to drive the fermentation chamber 5 to rotate, so that the garlic in the fermentation chamber 5 comes into even contact with the hot air. When the rotating component 6 is working, it drives the mixing component 7 to operate, so that the mixing component 7 mixes the air in the box 1 above the partition 2, so that the hot air generated by the heating plate can quickly and evenly spread throughout the inner cavity of the box 1, avoiding uneven hot air at different distances from the heating plate, which would affect the fermentation effect of the garlic. When the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 increases due to continuous heating, the pressure relief component 8 will be controlled to work, thereby venting some of the gas in the fermentation chamber 5, so that the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 tends to stabilize, thus avoiding the deformation of the garlic due to excessive pressure.
[0033] The rotating assembly 6 includes a drive motor 601 located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1. A drive gear 602 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 601. A driven gear 604 meshes with the outer side of the drive gear 602. A rotating rod 603 is connected through the middle of the driven gear 604. One end of the rotating rod 603 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1, and the other end of the rotating rod 603 passes through the partition 2 and is connected to a drive gear 605. A driven gear 606 meshes with the outer side of the drive gear 605. A rotating shaft is connected to the side of the driven gear 606 away from the drive gear 605. The rotating shaft passes through the support frame 3 and is connected to the rotating shaft 4.
[0034] The drive motor 601 is controlled to operate, causing the drive motor 601 to drive the active gear 602 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the active gear 602 meshes with the driven gear 604, the active gear 602 drives the driven gear 604 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 603 fixedly connected to it to rotate. When the rotating rod 603 rotates, it drives the active gear 605 fixedly connected to it to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 606 to rotate. When the driven gear 606 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate through the rotating shaft fixedly connected to it, thereby controlling the fermentation chamber 5 to rotate continuously. This ensures that the surface of the fermentation chamber 5 is in uniform contact with the heating plate, and the rotation of the fermentation chamber 5 causes the garlic inside to tumble and change position, so that the garlic inside can be fully and evenly heated.
[0035] By setting the rotating component 6, the device can control the fermentation chamber 5 to rotate continuously, so that the surface of the fermentation chamber 5 is in uniform contact with the heating plate. When the fermentation chamber 5 rotates, it causes the garlic inside to roll and change position, so that the garlic inside can be fully and evenly heated, which improves the uniformity of garlic fermentation and avoids the impact on the fermentation effect due to uneven heating of individual garlic cloves.
[0036] The mixing assembly 7 includes a movable plate 705 movably disposed above the fermentation chamber 5 and four fixed sleeves 706 disposed on the top wall of the housing 1. A spring 707 is connected to the inner cavity of each fixed sleeve 706. One end of the spring 707 is connected to the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 706, and the other end of the spring 707 is connected to a limiting plate 708. A telescopic rod 709 is connected to the end of the limiting plate 708 away from the spring 707. All four telescopic rods 709 pass through the fixed sleeves 706 and are connected to the movable plate 705. The mixing assembly 7 also includes a connecting rod 701 rotatably disposed on the side wall of the housing 1. Two eccentric wheels 703 are symmetrically arranged along the middle of the outer side of the connecting rod 701. The length of the eccentric wheels 703 is greater than the distance between the movable plate 705 and the connecting rod 701, and one of them... A driven gear 702 is connected to the outer side of an eccentric wheel 703. The driven gear 702 meshes with a driving gear 704. The driven gear 702 is located at the top of the rotating rod 603. Four ventilation openings 710 are provided above the movable plate 705. Each of the four ventilation openings 710 has a backstop assembly. The backstop assemblies on the same side form a group, and the backstop directions of the two groups of backstop assemblies are opposite. Each group of backstop assemblies includes a circular baffle 711 rotatably disposed in the inner cavity of the ventilation opening 710. A return spring 712 is connected to the outer side of the circular baffle 711. One end of the return spring 712 is connected to the circular baffle 711, and the other end of the return spring 712 is connected to an L-shaped plate 713. The L-shaped plate 713 is located on the outer side of the movable plate 705.
[0037] While rotating rod 603 drives the second driving gear 605 to rotate, it also drives the third driving gear 704, which is fixed to its end, to rotate. This causes the driven gear 702, which meshes with the third driving gear, to drive the connecting rod 701 to rotate. When the connecting rod 701 rotates, it drives the two eccentric wheels 703 on its outer side to rotate. Since the length of the eccentric wheels 703 is greater than the distance between the movable plate 705 and the connecting rod 701, when the eccentric wheels 703 rotate to contact the movable plate 705, they will push the movable plate 705 upward. This causes the movable plate 705 to drive the telescopic rod 709, which is fixed to it, to move upward. This causes the limiting plate 708 to compress the spring 707, generating elastic potential energy. At the same time, as the movable plate 705 moves upward, the gas above the movable plate 705 forces open the circular anti-reverse assembly. The eccentric baffle 711 allows air above the movable plate 705 to enter below it, preheating the cooler air above the movable plate 705. When the eccentric wheel 703 rotates and disengages from the movable plate 705, the movable plate 705 moves downward due to the elastic potential energy generated by the spring 707. During this downward movement, the movable plate 705 pushes open the circular baffle 711 in another set of anti-reverse components, thus transporting the warmer air below the movable plate 705 to the area above it for preheating. This reciprocating motion allows the device to quickly mix the air inside the chamber 1, ensuring that the hot air generated by the heating plate is quickly and evenly distributed throughout the chamber 1, preventing uneven distribution of hot air at different distances from the heating plate, which could affect the fermentation effect of the garlic.
[0038] By setting the mixing component 7, the device can continuously drive the movable plate 705 to move up and down, while simultaneously driving two sets of anti-reverse components to mix the air inside the chamber 1. This allows the hot air closer to the heating plate to mix with the hot air farther away, thereby achieving the purpose of mixing the air inside the chamber 1 above the partition 2. This avoids the inconsistent temperature of air at different distances from the heating plate, further improving the fermentation effect of the device when fermenting garlic.
[0039] The single pressure relief assembly 8 includes a mounting bracket 801 located on the outside of the rotating shaft 4. A connecting sleeve 802 is connected to the side of the mounting bracket 801 near the fermentation chamber 5. A second spring 803 is provided in the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 802. One end of the second spring 803 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 802, and the other end of the second spring 803 is connected to a mounting plate 804. A movable rod 805 is connected to the end of the mounting plate 804 away from the second spring 803. The side of the movable rod 805 away from the mounting plate 804 passes through the connecting sleeve 802 and is connected to a sealing ball 806. The assembly also includes a pressure relief port 807 located on the side of the fermentation chamber 5. The diameter of the pressure relief port 807 is smaller than the diameter of the sealing ball 806, and the pressure relief port 807 contacts the sealing ball 806 but is not connected to it.
[0040] When the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 is too high, the air pressure inside the chamber will push the sealing ball 806 outward, causing the sealing ball 806 to move outward. As the sealing ball 806 moves outward, it will drive the movable rod 805, which is fixedly connected to it, to move into the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 802. At this time, the mounting plate 804 will squeeze the spring 803, which is fixedly connected to it, and compress it to generate elastic potential energy. At the same time, the sealing ball 806 does not contact the pressure relief port 807 because it is moving, so the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 is released, preventing the garlic inside from being deformed due to excessive pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5. When the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 tends to stabilize, the sealing ball 806 is no longer pushed by the air pressure. At this time, the spring 803 pushes the mounting plate 804 outward due to its elastic potential energy, so that the movable rod 805 drives the sealing ball 806 to move and block the pressure relief port 807.
[0041] By setting up the pressure relief component 8, the device can automatically push the sealing ball 806 outward when the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 is too high, thereby releasing the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5. This prevents the garlic inside the fermentation chamber 5 from being squeezed and deformed due to excessive pressure, and also prevents the fermentation chamber 5 from exploding due to excessive pressure, thus improving the safety of the device when fermenting garlic.
[0042] The limiting component 10 includes a first mounting block 1001 disposed on the outside of the fermentation chamber 5 and a second mounting block 1002 disposed on the outside of the arc-shaped baffle 9. A limiting hole 1003 is opened in the middle of the second mounting block 1002. A connecting block 1004 is connected to the side of the first mounting block 1001 near the second mounting block 1002. Mounting grooves 1005 are opened on both sides of the connecting block 1004. A third spring 1006 is connected to the inner cavity of the mounting groove 1005. A connecting plate 1007 is connected to the end of the third spring 1006. A wedge block 1008 is connected to the side of the connecting plate 1007 away from the third spring 1006. The wedge block 1008 passes through the mounting groove 1005 and is connected to the connecting plate 1007.
[0043] When the arc-shaped baffle 9 needs to be opened, simply press the wedge block 1008 inward, causing the wedge block 1008 to move the connecting plate 1007 fixedly connected to it into the mounting groove 1005. During the movement, the connecting plate 1007 will compress the spring 1006 fixed to it, generating elastic potential energy. After the wedge block 1008 is fully inserted into the mounting groove 1005, rotate the arc-shaped baffle 9 to disengage the mounting block 1002 from the mounting block 1001. Then, put the garlic into the fermentation chamber 5 or take out the fermented garlic. When closing the arc-shaped baffle 9, simply rotate the arc-shaped baffle 9 to push the wedge block 1008 with the limiting hole 1003. When the mounting block 1002 contacts the mounting block 1001, the wedge block 1008 will push outward due to the elastic potential energy generated by the spring 1006, thus limiting the mounting block 1002.
[0044] By setting the limiting component 10, the device can limit the arc-shaped baffle 9 when the fermentation chamber 5 rotates, thus preventing garlic from falling out of the fermentation chamber 5 during fermentation and improving the device's rationality. At the same time, by controlling whether the limiting component 10 limits the arc-shaped baffle 9, the device can quickly open or close the arc-shaped baffle 9, making it easier to put garlic into the fermentation chamber 5 or take out fermented garlic from the fermentation chamber 5, thus improving the device's practicality.
[0045] Working principle of the invention: First, open the door 11 using handle 12, press the wedge block 1008 inward, causing the wedge block 1008 to move the connecting plate 1007 fixedly connected to it into the mounting groove 1005. During the movement, the connecting plate 1007 will compress the spring 1006 fixed to it, generating elastic potential energy. After the wedge block 1008 is fully inserted into the mounting groove 1005, rotate the arc-shaped baffle 9 to disengage the mounting block 1002 from the mounting block 1001. Then, put the garlic into the fermentation chamber 5, rotate the arc-shaped baffle 9, and cause the limiting hole 1003 to press and push the wedge block 1008. When the mounting block 1002 contacts the mounting block 1001, the wedge block 1008... 08 will be pushed outward by the elastic potential energy generated by spring 3 1006, causing wedge block 1008 to limit the installation block 2 1002. Then, the door 11 will be closed and the heating plate on the top of the partition 2 will be controlled to heat and keep the fermentation chamber 5 warm. The drive motor 601 will be controlled to work, causing the drive motor 601 to drive the drive gear 1 602 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Since the drive gear 1 602 meshes with the driven gear 1 604, the drive gear 1 602 drives the driven gear 1 604 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 603 fixedly connected to it to rotate. When the rotating rod 603 rotates, it will drive the drive gear 2 605 fixedly connected to it to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 2 605 to rotate. When wheel 2 606 rotates, driven gear 2 606, through its fixedly connected rotating shaft, drives shaft 4 to rotate, thereby controlling the continuous rotation of fermentation chamber 5. This ensures that the surface of fermentation chamber 5 makes uniform contact with the heating plate, and the rotation of fermentation chamber 5 causes the garlic inside to tumble and reposition, allowing the garlic to be fully and evenly heated. Simultaneously, rotating rod 603 drives driving gear 2 605 to rotate, and also drives driving gear 3 704, fixed to its end, to rotate. This causes driven gear 3 702, meshing with driving gear 3, to drive connecting rod 701 to rotate. The rotation of connecting rod 701 then drives the two eccentric wheels 703 on its outer side to rotate. Since the length of eccentric wheels 703 is greater than the distance between movable plate 705 and connecting rod 701... When the eccentric wheel 703 rotates to contact the movable plate 705, it will push the movable plate 705 upward, thereby causing the movable plate 705 to drive the telescopic rod 709 fixedly connected to it to move upward. This causes the limiting plate 708 to compress the spring 707, generating elastic potential energy. When the eccentric wheel 703 rotates to disengage from the movable plate 705, the movable plate 705 will move downward due to the elastic potential energy generated by the spring 707. By continuously moving the movable plate 705 up and down, it mixes the air in the inner cavity of the box 1 above the partition 2, so that the hot air generated by the heating plate can quickly and evenly spread throughout the inner cavity of the box 1, avoiding uneven hot air at different distances from the heating plate, which would affect the fermentation effect of garlic.
[0046] When the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 is too high, the air pressure inside the chamber will push the sealing ball 806 outward, causing the sealing ball 806 to move outward. As the sealing ball 806 moves outward, it will drive the movable rod 805, which is fixedly connected to it, to move into the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 802. At this time, the mounting plate 804 will squeeze the spring 803, which is fixedly connected to it, and compress it to generate elastic potential energy. At the same time, the sealing ball 806 does not contact the pressure relief port 807 because it is moving, so the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 is released, preventing the garlic inside from being deformed due to excessive pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5. When the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 5 tends to stabilize, the sealing ball 806 is no longer pushed by the air pressure. At this time, the spring 803 pushes the mounting plate 804 outward due to its elastic potential energy, so that the movable rod 805 drives the sealing ball 806 to move and block the pressure relief port 807.
