Usually, the condiment raw materials to be fermented are put into a fermentation tank, the temperature required for fermentation is set, and fermentation gas is introduced to allow the raw materials to ferment in the fermentation tank.

[0003] When fermenting seasoning raw materials inside the existing fermentation tank, fermentation gas is often introduced to increase the flavor of the finished seasoning. However, since the seasoning raw materials will accumulate at the bottom of the tank after being put into the tank, it is difficult for the gas to enter the bottom raw materials simply by introducing gas. It takes a long time of stirring to allow the raw materials in various parts to fully contact with the gas. However, the upper raw materials have to contact with the gas for a longer time than the lower raw materials, resulting in uneven reaction between the raw materials and the gas.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a fermentation device for preparing condiments, comprising a fermentation tank body 1 and an air injection assembly 3, a stirring motor 2 is fixed to the top of the fermentation tank body 1, the air injection assembly 3 is connected to the bottom end of the stirring motor 2, the air injection assembly 3 comprises a hollow shaft 301, an air injection pipe 302, a guide pipe 303, a telescopic spring 304, a stirring pipe 305 and an exhaust hole 306, the bottom end of the hollow shaft 301 is connected to the air injection pipe 302 through a bearing, and the upper part of the outer wall of the hollow shaft 301 is distributed with a guide pipe 303, the outer wall of the guide pipe 303 is sleeved with a telescopic spring 304, and the end of the telescopic spring 304 is connected to the stirring pipe 305, the lower surface of the stirring pipe 305 is evenly provided with exhaust holes 306, and the stirring pipe 305 is at a right angle The stirring tube 305 is connected to the hollow shaft 301 through the guide tube 303, and the stirring tube 305 is elastically connected to the hollow shaft 301 through the telescopic spring 304. The gas injection assembly 3 also includes an upper support plate 307, an electric telescopic rod 308 and a rubber ring rail 309. The upper support plate 307 is fixed to the upper part of the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1, and the electric telescopic rod 308 is distributed on the surface of the upper support plate 307. The end of the electric telescopic rod 308 is connected to the rubber ring rail 309. The gas injection assembly 3 also includes a runner 310. The inner side of the rubber ring rail 309 is slidably connected to the runner 310, and the runner 310 is rotatably connected to the upper outer wall of the stirring tube 305.

[0032] The specific operation is as follows: the seasoning raw materials to be fermented are put into the fermentation tank body 1 through the feeding port 4, and the fermentation temperature is set. The stirring motor 2 drives the hollow shaft 301 to rotate the stirring tube 305 to stir the raw materials. When the stirring tube 305 rotates, the gas injection pipe 302 injects the fermentation gas into the hollow shaft 301. The gas flows along the inside of the hollow shaft 301 and passes through the guide pipe 303 and is discharged from the exhaust hole 306 on the lower surface of the stirring tube 305. At this time, the gas directly enters the raw material, and as the stirring tube 305 rotates, the gas can be discharged from various parts of the raw material from the inside to the outside. In addition, the stirring tube 305 is elastically connected to the hollow shaft 301 by the telescopic spring 304. When the stirring tube 305 rotates, the runner 310 on its outer wall rolls along the inner side of the rubber ring track 309. The shape of the inner mouth of the rubber ring track 309 is adjusted by controlling the extension distance of each electric telescopic rod 308. The rotating wheel 310 rolls along the inner side of the rubber ring track 309, and the telescopic spring 304 is forced to expand and contract based on the change in the shape of the inner mouth of the rubber ring track 309, so that the rotation radius of the stirring tube 305 can be flexibly changed and adjusted to stir and inject gas into the raw materials at different parts. Therefore, the stirring tube 305 is driven by the stirring motor 2 to rotate and stir the raw materials so that they are evenly heated. At the same time, the gas used for fermentation can also flow along the inside of the stirring tube 305 and be discharged from the exhaust hole 306, which is conducive to directly injecting the gas into the raw materials to avoid the bottom layer and inner layer raw materials from being difficult to contact the gas for reaction. Moreover, when the stirring tube 305 rotates, the extension distance of each electric telescopic rod 308 is controlled to adjust the shape of the inner mouth of the rubber ring track 309, so that the trajectory of the stirring tube 305 during rotation is no longer a simple circle, but the radius of rotation can be adjusted in real time to stir and inject gas into different inner and outer layers of the raw materials.

[0033] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a feeding port 4 is provided on one side of the stirring motor 2 at the top of the fermentation tank body 1, and a discharge assembly 5 is provided on one side of the bottom of the fermentation tank body 1, the discharge assembly 5 includes a discharge pipe 501 and a discharge pipe 502, the end of the discharge pipe 501 is connected with the discharge pipe 502, and the bottom end of the discharge pipe 502 is provided with a lifting valve, the discharge assembly 5 also includes a spring telescopic rod 503 and a discharge piston 504, the top end of the discharge pipe 502 is penetrated by the spring telescopic rod 503, and the bottom end of the spring telescopic rod 503 is connected with the discharge piston 504, the outer port structure of the discharge piston 504 is adapted to the inner port structure of the discharge pipe 502, the discharge assembly 5 also includes a rubber arc sheet 505, the top end of the spring telescopic rod 503 is provided with a rubber arc sheet 505, the bottom end of the spring telescopic rod 503 is penetrated into the fermentation tank body 1, and the bottom surface of the rubber arc sheet 505 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1 through adhesive;

[0034] The specific operation is as follows: the spring telescopic rod 503 passes through the bottom of the fermentation tank body 1, and the end of the spring telescopic rod 503 protrudes from the bottom inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1, and the end of the spring telescopic rod 503 is wrapped by a flexible rubber arc sheet 505, and the bottom surface of the rubber arc sheet 505 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1 by adhesive, so that the raw material is difficult to enter the rubber arc sheet 505;

[0035] When the fermented condiment is discharged through the discharge pipe 501 and the discharge pipe 502, the condiment enters the discharge pipe 502 along the discharge pipe 501. At this time, the lifting valve at the bottom end of the discharge pipe 502 is opened. During the rotation of the stirring pipe 305, it will contact the surface of the rubber arc piece 505 once every rotation. The top end of the spring telescopic rod 503 inside the rubber arc piece 505 is stressed, so that the spring telescopic rod 503 is pressed into the discharge pipe 502, so that the discharge piston 504 extends and moves along the inside of the discharge pipe 502 toward its bottom, thereby pushing the condiment in the discharge pipe 502 to be discharged. Therefore, as the stirring pipe 305 rotates, the discharge piston 504 will make a piston movement inside the discharge pipe 502, thereby continuously pushing the condiment entering the discharge pipe 502 outward to be discharged, thereby preventing the condiment from being blocked in the pipeline when being discharged.

[0038] Step 2: When the stirring tube 305 rotates, the gas injection tube 302 injects the fermentation gas into the hollow shaft 301, and the gas flows along the inside of the hollow shaft 301 and passes through the guide tube 303 and is discharged from the exhaust hole 306 on the lower surface of the stirring tube 305. At this time, the gas directly enters the raw material, and as the stirring tube 305 rotates, the gas can be discharged from various parts of the raw material from the inside to the outside;

[0039] Step 3: The stirring tube 305 is elastically connected to the hollow shaft 301 through the telescopic spring 304. When the stirring tube 305 rotates, the wheel 310 on the outer wall thereof rolls along the inner side of the rubber ring track 309. The inner opening shape of the rubber ring track 309 is adjusted by controlling the extension distance of each electric telescopic rod 308, so that the wheel 310 rolls along the inner side of the rubber ring track 309. Based on the change of the inner opening shape of the rubber ring track 309, the telescopic spring 304 is forced to expand and contract, so that the rotation radius of the stirring tube 305 can be flexibly changed and adjusted to stir and inject gas into the raw materials at different parts.

[0040] Step 4: When the fermented condiments are discharged through the discharge pipe 501 and the outlet pipe 502, the lifting valve at the bottom of the outlet pipe 502 is opened. During the rotation of the stirring tube 305, it will contact the surface of the rubber arc piece 505 once every rotation. The top of the spring telescopic rod 503 inside the rubber arc piece 505 is stressed, so that the spring telescopic rod 503 is pressed into the outlet pipe 502, so that the discharge piston 504 extends and moves along the inside of the outlet pipe 502 toward its bottom, thereby pushing out the condiments inside the outlet pipe 502 so that they can be discharged.
