[0002] Red yeast rice fermentation mainly relies on Monascus purpureus, and uses rice or other grains as the main raw materials. Under specific conditions of temperature, humidity and ventilation, Monascus purpureus grows vigorously on the raw materials, and decomposes and transforms the macromolecular substances in the grains by secreting a variety of enzymes. It is widely used in the fields of food and medicine. In order to ensure the stability and efficiency of red yeast rice fermentation, a red yeast rice fermentation device is usually used in the red yeast rice fermentation process.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. The optical detection window set on the fermentation tank of the device cooperates with the spectrum analyzer. The spectrum analyzer emits light of different wavelengths and transmits it to the optical detection window through optical fiber, so that it enters the fermentation tank and interacts with the red yeast material. The changes in the pigment composition and content of red yeast during the fermentation process will be reflected in the spectral characteristics of the reflected light or the transmitted light. After receiving these change information, the spectrum analyzer combines the fermentation progress analysis software built into the device and uses advanced algorithms such as multivariate linear regression to establish a mathematical model between multiple factors such as fermentation progress and spectral characteristics, so as to accurately predict the stage of fermentation and the remaining time. At the same time, the humidity sensor and gas composition sensor in the detection component can monitor the changes in humidity and gas composition in the fermentation tank in real time, such as the gradual decrease in oxygen concentration, the gradual increase in carbon dioxide concentration, and the dynamic changes in humidity as the fermentation progresses. These data are integrated and analyzed by the data processing system together with the spectral data, which further improves the accuracy of the judgment of the fermentation process, effectively avoids the problem of insufficient or excessive fermentation caused by the inability of traditional red yeast fermentation devices to feedback the fermentation process in real time, and ensures the quality stability and application effect of red yeast.
[0015] 2. The device is provided with two sets of sealing cover plates, one set of which is provided with a stirring assembly, and the other set of which is provided with a cleaning assembly. The fermentation tank can be moved on the main frame through two sets of electric pulleys, so that it can switch back and forth between the stirring assembly and the cleaning assembly; when fermenting, the fermentation tank is located below the stirring assembly, and a fermentation chamber is formed by connecting with the sealing cover plate, and the stirring assembly is located in the fermentation chamber; the flat blade, inclined blade and anchor blade on the stirring rod in the stirring assembly cooperate with each other, the flat blade can effectively break up the lumps on the surface of the fermented material, the inclined blade promotes the radial mixing of the material, and the anchor blade prevents the material from depositing at the bottom of the tank, and the stirring motor can adjust the speed of the stirring rod, which can adapt to the needs of different fermentation stages, so that the fermented materials are fully mixed, and the uniform distribution of nutrients and the consistency of temperature during the fermentation process are ensured. At the same time, when the fermentation tank needs to be cleaned, the fermentation tank moves to the cleaning assembly for adsorption, and the cleaning assembly plays an important role. When the fermentation tank needs to be cleaned, the cleaning motor drives the rotating rod to drive the cleaning bracket to rotate, and the strip cleaning brushes on the side and the circular cleaning brush on the bottom are in full contact with the inner wall of the fermentation tank. At the same time, the liquid outlet pipe introduces the cleaning liquid from the external cleaning liquid supply system through the liquid inlet pipe and is sprayed out by the nozzle. Under the dual effects of mechanical brushing and cleaning liquid flushing, the residual materials, dirt and other impurities in the fermentation tank can be removed, ensuring the cleaning and hygiene of the fermentation tank, preparing for the next fermentation, improving the convenience of use and maintenance efficiency of the device, and reducing the risk of fermentation contamination caused by incomplete cleaning.
[0016] 3. The feeding component optimizes the pretreatment and transportation of raw materials. The storage tank stores red yeast rice raw materials. When the raw materials pass through the screening box, the inclined plates arranged opposite to each other in the box form a material channel. The arc surface slows down the descent speed of the raw materials to a certain extent, so that the fan in the air outlet duct generates airflow, which can blow out light impurities such as dust in the raw materials and adsorb them on the filter screen in the fixed sleeve, ensuring the purity of the raw materials entering the fermentation tank. The material box transports the screened raw materials to the fermentation tank through the material fan, realizing automatic feeding and improving the accuracy and efficiency of feeding.

[0019] The following is a further detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, but cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] Embodiment 1: Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the present invention provides a functional red yeast fermentation device with fermentation progress detection, including a main body plate 11, which serves as a basic support component and provides a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the entire device. A main frame 12 is detachably provided on the main body plate 11, and a slidable connection is adopted between the fermentation tank 201 and the main frame 12, so that the fermentation tank 201 can move on the main frame 12 and can move back and forth in different working areas. A plurality of sets of sealing cover plates 31 and a plurality of sets of lifting components are arranged above the main frame 12, and the lifting height of the sealing cover plates 31 can be controlled by the lifting components. The fermentation tank 201 is located below one set of sealing cover plates 31, and different sealing cover plates 31 can form different working spaces when connected to the fermentation tank 201. A stirring component is arranged on one set of sealing cover plates 31 for fully mixing and stirring the materials during the fermentation process; and a cleaning component is arranged on the other set of sealing cover plates 31 so as to deeply clean the fermentation tank 201 after the fermentation is completed. A spectrometer 41 is provided on one side of the main plate 11, and an optical detection window 202 is provided on the corresponding fermentation tank 201. A fixed bracket is provided on the main plate 11. An optical fiber 42 extending from one side of the spectrometer 41 is fixed on the fixed bracket, and one end is connected to the optical detection window 202, so as to achieve accurate collection and analysis of key data in the fermentation process. The spectrometer 41 can adopt the Ocean Optics USB4000 micro-fiber spectrometer; the stability of the optical fiber 42 can be ensured by the fixed bracket. When the fermentation tank 201 moves under the stirring assembly, the optical fiber 42 will be closely in contact with the optical detection window 202 to ensure the stability of the detection. A detection component is also provided on one side of the fermentation tank 201. A plurality of connecting pipes 52 are provided on one side of the core detection box 51 of the detection component. The detection box 51 is connected to the fermentation tank 201 through the connecting pipe 52, and various data information in the fermentation tank 201 is transmitted in real time. The feeding assembly on the main board 11 is responsible for transporting the raw materials to the fermentation tank 201 in an orderly manner, and a controller is also provided on the main board 11 to uniformly regulate and manage the operation of each component to ensure the efficiency, accuracy and stability of the entire red yeast rice fermentation process. The controller can adopt the Mitsubishi FX3U-32MT / ES-A controller.
[0021] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig.11As shown, the lifting assembly includes a lifting bracket 601, and the lifting bracket 601 is installed on the two groups of support plates 13 on the top of the main body plate 11. The two groups of support plates 13 not only provide a fulcrum for the lifting bracket 601, but also the through groove 14 opened by the corresponding fermentation tank 201 accommodates the sealing cover plate 31, so that the sealing cover plate 31 can be inserted therein, ensuring that a stable trajectory is always maintained during the lifting process. Two groups of symmetrically distributed limit frames 15 are arranged on the support plate 13, and the two groups of connecting plates 32 on the top of the sealing cover plate 31 cooperate with the limit frames 15 and are clamped in the limit frames 15, so that the sealing cover plate 31 can slide smoothly between the two groups of limit frames 15, which not only ensures the stability of the lifting and lowering of the sealing cover plate 31, but also effectively prevents it from shifting in the horizontal direction. The winch 602 is installed on the top of the lifting bracket 601. The winch 602 is connected to the connecting cross bar 605 through a steel cable, and the two ends of the connecting cross bar 605 are respectively connected to the two groups of connecting rods 33 provided on the sealing cover plate 31 to achieve a detachable connection, thereby realizing the connection between the winch 602 and the sealing cover plate 31, so that the winch 602 can control the lifting and lowering of the sealing cover plate 31. A lifting motor 603 is provided above the lifting bracket 601, and its shaft end is connected to the winch 602. When the lifting motor 603 is started, the shaft end drives the winch 602 to rotate, thereby controlling the retraction and release of the steel cable, and then realizing the smooth lifting and lowering of the sealing cover plate 31.
[0022] At the same time, the lifting assembly also includes multiple groups of electromagnets 604, two of which are installed in the limit frame 15, forming a unique electromagnetic interaction structure with the connecting plate 32 located therebetween. The connecting plate 32 is provided with two groups of magnets corresponding to the two groups of electromagnets 604, respectively. By controlling the current on and off and the magnetic strength of the electromagnets 604, the stability and positioning accuracy of the sealing cover plate 31 during the lifting process can be further enhanced. For example, when the sealing cover plate 31 needs to stay at a certain height, the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet 604 can effectively assist braking, prevent position deviation caused by inertia or other external factors, improve the reliability and safety of the operation of the entire device, and lay the foundation for the smooth progress of the red yeast fermentation process.
[0023] The stirring assembly includes a stirring rod 701, wherein a first bearing installed on a set of sealing cover plates 31 provides a stable support point for the stirring rod 701, and one end of the stirring rod 701 is smoothly inserted into the first bearing, thereby ensuring the stability and flexibility of the stirring rod 701 during the rotation process. The blade disc 703 arranged on the stirring rod 701 is a key structure for connecting the flat paddle blade 702, and a plurality of connecting grooves 704 are provided on the blade disc 703, and one end of the flat paddle blade 702 is clamped in the connecting groove 704 and connected to the blade disc 703 through a plurality of connecting bolts. The connection method is not only firm and reliable, but also convenient for disassembly and replacement of the flat paddle blade 702, and is convenient for subsequent maintenance and adjustment; the feed port of the fermentation tank 201 is located above the flat paddle blade 702, and when the raw material enters the fermentation tank 201, it will first pass through the flat paddle blade 702, which can effectively break the lumps that may be formed on the surface of the fermented material, so that the material mixing is more uniform.
[0024] An anchor blade 705 is detachably provided at the bottom of the stirring rod 701 to effectively prevent the material from settling at the bottom of the tank. The unique shape of the anchor blade 705 can fully stir the material at the bottom of the tank so that it is fully mixed with the material on the top. The inclined blade located between the flat blade 702 and the anchor blade 705 further optimizes the stirring effect. Multiple sets of inclined blades 707 are provided at both ends of the installation sleeve 706 of the inclined blade, which is arranged in a double-layer structure, and the inclined blades 707 are arranged at an angle, so that the inclined blade can push the material to move radially and tangentially at the same time during stirring, thereby promoting all-round mixing of the material. The first limiting plate 708 and the second limiting plate 709 on the stirring rod 701 play a role in positioning and fixing the installation sleeve 706. The installation sleeve 706 is sleeved on one end of the stirring rod 701, and is connected to the first limiting plate 708 and the second limiting plate 709 at both ends to maintain a stable position relationship. The two sets of connectors 710 on both sides of the stirring rod 701 further enhance the stability of the overall structure. The two ends of the connector 710 are detachably connected to the first limit plate 708 and the second limit plate 709, respectively, for easy installation and maintenance. The stirring motor 711 above the sealing cover plate 31 provides a strong power source for the entire stirring assembly. The shaft end of the stirring motor 711 is connected to the stirring rod 701. By controlling the speed and direction of the stirring motor 711, the stirring intensity and method can be flexibly adjusted according to the requirements of different stages of red yeast fermentation, thereby ensuring that the materials are fully mixed during the fermentation process, the nutrients are evenly distributed, and the temperature is uniform, thereby improving the quality and efficiency of red yeast fermentation.
[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a rotating rod 801, which is inserted into the second bearing on one of the sealing cover plates 31. The second bearing provides a smooth and stable rotation support for the rotating rod 801, effectively reducing the friction resistance and ensuring the high efficiency and durability of the rotation. The cleaning bracket 802 is located below the sealing cover plate 31 and is stably sleeved on the rotating rod 801. Multiple groups of side frames 803 are evenly distributed on its circumference, providing a reliable installation foundation for the strip cleaning brush 804. The strip cleaning brush 804 is made of a soft but wear-resistant bristle material, which can fit the inner wall of the fermentation tank 201 during cleaning and effectively remove dirt and residual materials attached to the tank wall. A bottom frame 805 is provided at the bottom of the rotating rod 801, and the circular cleaning brush 806 in the bottom frame 805 is focused on cleaning the bottom area of the fermentation tank 201. Its shape is adapted to the bottom of the tank to ensure that every part of the bottom of the tank can be thoroughly cleaned.
[0026] The sealing cover plate 31 is detachably provided with a liquid outlet pipe 807, which is a circular structure, which is conducive to the uniform distribution of the cleaning liquid. The multiple groups of liquid inlet pipes 808 at the top of the liquid outlet pipe 807 are connected to the external cleaning liquid supply system through the connecting conduit, and sufficient cleaning liquid can be stably introduced. The multiple groups of nozzles 809 at the bottom of the liquid outlet pipe 807 spray the cleaning liquid at a suitable angle and strength, further enhancing the cleaning effect. The cleaning motor 810 at the top of the sealing cover plate 31 provides strong power support for the entire cleaning process. The shaft end of the cleaning motor 810 is connected to the rotating rod 801. When the cleaning motor 810 is started, the rotating rod 801 is driven to rotate, and then the cleaning bracket 802 and the strip cleaning brush 804 and the circular cleaning brush 806 thereon are rotated synchronously. Under the dual effects of mechanical scrubbing and cleaning liquid flushing, various impurities in the fermentation tank 201 can be quickly and thoroughly removed, creating a clean and hygienic environmental condition for the next round of red yeast fermentation, and effectively ensuring the stability of the fermentation process and product quality.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, the detection assembly also includes a humidity sensor 53 and a gas composition sensor 54. The humidity sensor 53 and the gas composition sensor 54 are core detection components and are installed in an installation box 56 in the detection box 51. A sealing plate 55 is provided in the detection box 51, and a detection cavity is formed between the sealing plate 55 and the detection box 51. The detection cavity is connected to the fermentation tank 201 through multiple groups of connecting pipes 52, thereby constructing a stable gas and humidity information transmission channel.
[0028] The installation box 56 is located in the detection chamber. The multiple ventilation grooves provided therein can ensure that the gas in the fermentation tank 201 can enter smoothly and fully contact with the humidity sensor 53 and the gas composition sensor 54, so as to sense the humidity changes in the fermentation environment and the fluctuations in the proportion of gas components such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. The humidity sensor 53 can use the Honeywell HIH-4000-001 humidity sensor, and the gas composition sensor 54 can use the Honeywell MICS-6814. A connecting sleeve 57 is provided on one of the connecting pipes 52. The connecting sleeve 57 and the connecting pipe 52 are mutually connected. The diaphragm 58 provided therein is a sensitive pressure sensing barrier. The pressure sensor 59 below the detection box 51 is installed on the connecting sleeve 57, and the diaphragm 58 is in close contact with the pressure sensor 59. When the air pressure in the fermentation tank 201 changes, the pressure will be transmitted to the diaphragm 58 through the gas in the connecting pipe 52. The diaphragm 58 will produce corresponding deformation and transmit the pressure signal to the pressure sensor 59. The pressure sensor 59 converts these data into electrical signal output. Together with the humidity and gas composition data, it provides a comprehensive and reliable basis for judging the fermentation process and adjusting the fermentation conditions, ensuring that the red yeast fermentation is always in the best state. The pressure sensor 59 can adopt the Bosch BMP388 pressure sensor.
[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the feed assembly includes a screening box 204 and a storage tank 203. The screening box 204 is installed on the main plate 11 and can effectively withstand the impact and friction of the raw materials. The screening box 204 is provided with a mounting plate 16, which provides a reliable mounting platform for the storage tank 203. The storage tank 203 is located above the screening box 204, and the two are connected to facilitate the smooth transmission of the raw materials. The two groups of inclined plates 205 arranged inside the screening box 204 are arranged in an upper and lower opposite manner, thereby forming a material channel. The top surface of the inclined plate 205 is set as an arc surface, which can not only guide the raw materials to slide slowly and orderly, and avoid blockage or splashing of the raw materials due to excessive falling speed, but also fully expose the raw materials during the sliding process, which is conducive to the subsequent impurity removal operation. An air outlet pipe 206 is provided in the screening box 204, a fixed sleeve 207 is provided on one side of the screening box 204, a fan 208 is provided in the air outlet pipe 206, and a baffle is provided on the air outlet pipe 206, the baffle is located below the inclined plate 205, and the baffle effectively prevents the raw materials from escaping from the blowing range of the fan 208 when falling. When the fan 208 in the air outlet pipe 206 rotates at a high speed, a stable airflow will be generated in the screening box 204. When the raw materials slide down in the material channel, the airflow will blow up light impurities such as dust in the raw materials, and these impurities will move toward the fixed sleeve 207 through the air outlet pipe 206 under the drive of the airflow. The filter screen 209 stuck in the fixed sleeve 207 allows the dust blown out to be adsorbed on the filter screen 209 and cleaned uniformly. The screened raw materials finally fall into the material box 210 below the screening box 204. The material box 210 is connected to the fermentation tank 201 through a material fan. The material fan can transport the raw materials to the fermentation tank 201 according to the preset program and the material requirements in the fermentation tank 201, thereby realizing the automation and precision of raw material supply.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Fig.10 As shown, electric pulleys 34 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the fermentation tank 201, and two corresponding sets of slideways 17 on the main frame 12 provide running tracks for the electric pulleys 34. The electric pulleys 34 are clamped in the slideways 17, so that a smooth and stable sliding connection is achieved between the fermentation tank 201 and the main frame 12, which facilitates the flexible switching of the fermentation tank 201 between different functional areas.
[0031] An assembly plate 214 is provided on one side of the fermentation tank 201, and a blower 35 is installed on the assembly plate 214. The air inlet pipe 36 provided in the fermentation tank 201 is connected to an air purifier 37 at one end. The blower 35 is connected to the air purifier 37 through the air duct, so that fresh air that has been purified can be transported into the fermentation tank 201 to meet the oxygen demand of red yeast fermentation and avoid impurities from mixing. The air purifier 37 can adopt Honeywell KJ900F-PAC000DW. At the same time, the fermentation tank 201 is provided with a heating module and a cooling module, which can adjust the temperature in the tank. The multiple groups of discharge pipes at the bottom facilitate the smooth discharge of finished products or waste after the fermentation is completed, ensuring the efficiency and convenience of the entire fermentation process. The heating module and the cooling module are both realized by a universal heating structure and a cooling structure, and there is no specific model restriction.
[0032] Embodiment 2: Based on the functional red yeast rice fermentation device with fermentation progress detection provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application, Embodiment 2 of the present application proposes a functional red yeast rice fermentation device with fermentation progress detection. This Embodiment 2 is only a preferred embodiment of Embodiment 1, and the implementation of Embodiment 2 will not affect the independent implementation of Embodiment 1. Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be further described below.
[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the feed assembly includes a screening box 204 and a storage tank 203. The screening box 204 is installed on the main plate 11 and can effectively withstand the impact and friction of the raw materials. The screening box 204 is provided with a mounting plate 16, which provides a reliable mounting platform for the storage tank 203. The storage tank 203 is located above the screening box 204, and the two are connected, which is convenient for the smooth transmission of the raw materials. At the same time, a feeding funnel 211 is provided on the top of the storage tank 203, and the feeding funnel 211 facilitates the raw materials to be put into the storage tank 203, so that the raw materials can enter the system smoothly. The two groups of inclined plates 205 arranged inside the screening box 204 are arranged in an up-and-down manner, thereby forming a material channel. The top surface of the inclined plate 205 is set as an arc surface, which can not only guide the raw materials to slide slowly and orderly, and avoid blockage or splashing of the raw materials due to the excessively fast falling speed, but also make the raw materials fully exposed during the sliding process, which is conducive to the subsequent impurity removal operation. An air outlet pipe 206 is provided in the screening box 204, a fixed sleeve 207 is provided on one side of the screening box 204, a fan 208 is provided in the air outlet pipe 206, and a baffle is provided on the air outlet pipe 206, the baffle is located below the inclined plate 205, and the baffle effectively prevents the raw material from escaping from the blowing range of the fan 208 when it falls. When the fan 208 in the air outlet pipe 206 rotates at a high speed, a stable airflow will be generated in the screening box 204. When the raw material slides down in the material channel, the airflow will blow up light impurities such as dust in the raw material, and these impurities will move toward the fixed sleeve 207 through the air outlet pipe 206 under the drive of the airflow. The electrostatic precipitator 212 stuck in the fixed sleeve 207 plays a role, using the principle of electrostatic adsorption, it can capture the impurities blown out by the wind, which is convenient for subsequent unified processing. The electrostatic precipitator 212 can adopt an ESP100 electrostatic precipitator. The slot 213 on the screening box 204 holds the material box 210, and the material box 210 is connected to the fermentation tank 201 through the material fan. The material fan can transport the screened and purified raw materials to the fermentation tank 201 according to the fermentation requirements, ensuring the stable, pure and efficient supply of raw materials during the fermentation process.
[0034] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that a feed hopper 211 is provided on the top of the storage tank 203, which facilitates the input of raw materials into the storage tank 203, so that the raw materials can smoothly enter the storage tank 203 without opening the top cover of the pulp storage tank 203; at the same time, the filter 209 is replaced with an electrostatic precipitator 212, which uses the principle of electrostatic adsorption to capture impurities blown out by the wind, and can better ensure the collection of impurities; a card slot 213 is provided on the screening box 204, so that the material box 210 and the screening box 204 are detachable, which is convenient for the subsequent cleaning of the material box 210. The remaining conditions are consistent with those of the first embodiment, so this embodiment will not be repeated.
[0035] The basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
