[0037] According to this specific embodiment, the fermentation tank 101 is a common tank in the prior art, which is used to load raw materials for aerobic fermentation.

[0038] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 103 is located above the fermentation tank 101; the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 are respectively arranged on the lifting mechanism 103; the lifting mechanism 103 is used to drive the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 to rise and fall; the material turning claw mechanisms 104 can be unfolded or retracted.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the material turning claw mechanism 104 is a quadrangular pyramid when folded, which is convenient for inserting into the fermented raw materials. When unfolded, it is divided into four claws. The lifting mechanism 103 is used to drive the material turning claw mechanism 104 to rise and fall. In normal use, the raw materials are crushed and poured into the fermentation tank 101, and then a proper amount of water is added to the fermentation tank 101, and the bacteria are inoculated into the fermentation tank 101. After waiting for a period of fermentation, the lifting mechanism 103 drives the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 to move down and insert into the fermentation tank 101. The bottom of the fermentation tank 101 is then expanded, and the lifting mechanism 103 drives the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 to move upward. The multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 will turn the raw materials at the bottom upward on the way up. After moving to the top, the bottom ends of the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 are retracted, and driven by the lifting mechanism 103, they are inserted into the bottom of the fermentation tank 101 again.

The multiple guide rods 108 are used to guide the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 107. The mounting plate 107 is used to install multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104. Therefore, the hydraulic cylinder 106 can drive the lifting and lowering of multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104.

[0042] Furthermore, the square tube 109 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the mounting plate 107; the plurality of flaps 110 are rotatably arranged at the bottom of the square tube 109, and the plurality of flaps 110 are folded together to form a quadrangular pyramid; the driving member 111 is arranged inside the square tube 109, and is used to drive the plurality of flaps 110 to rotate synchronously to expand or fold.

[0043] In this embodiment, a plurality of flaps 110 are rotatably arranged at the bottom of the square cylinder 109, and the plurality of flaps 110 are folded together to form a quadrangular pyramid, which is convenient for inserting into the fermented raw materials. The driving member 111 is arranged inside the square cylinder 109, and is used to synchronously drive the plurality of flaps 110 to rotate, so as to realize the rotation, expansion or folding of the plurality of flaps 110; the plurality of flaps 110 are folded together to form a quadrangular pyramid, which is convenient for inserting into the fermented raw materials. After being inserted into the bottom, driven by the driving member 111, the plurality of flaps 110 rotate away from each other and unfold into four-petal claws. At this time, driven by the lifting mechanism 103, the plurality of flaps 110 move upward, and on the way of moving upward, the raw materials at the bottom will be flipped upward to realize the flipping action.

[0044] Furthermore, the first motor 112 is fixedly arranged inside the square cylinder 109; the screw rod 113 is rotatably arranged inside the square cylinder 109 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 112; the slider 114 is slidably connected to the square cylinder 109, and is threadedly connected to the screw rod 113, and is located inside the square cylinder 109; the two push rods 115 are respectively slidably connected to the square cylinder 109, and are respectively fixedly connected to the slider 114, and are respectively located inside the square cylinder 109; the connecting block 116 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the two push rods 115; the plurality of connecting rods 117 are respectively rotatably connected to the connecting blocks 116, and are respectively rotatably connected to the plurality of flaps 110, and are respectively located at the bottom of the connecting blocks 116.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first motor 112 is used to drive the screw rod 113 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw rod 113 drives the slider 114 to slide. The slider 114 drives the connecting block 116 to rise and fall through the two push rods 115, and each of the flaps 110 is connected to the connecting block 116 through a connecting rod 117; when the connecting block 116 moves downward, the multiple connecting rods 117 drive the multiple flaps 110 to expand, and when the connecting block 116 moves upward, the multiple connecting rods 117 drive the multiple flaps 110 to fold.

[0046] Furthermore, the supporting rotation assembly 118 is disposed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 101 to support the fermentation tank 101 and drive the fermentation tank 101 to rotate.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the position of the fermentation tank 101 remains unchanged and the positions of the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 cannot be changed, the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 can only move downward to turn over the raw materials at several fixed positions in the fermentation tank 101. Therefore, the supporting rotating assembly 118 is provided to allow the fermentation tank 101 to rotate. After the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 complete turning over the raw materials currently below, the fermentation tank 101 is rotated a certain angle so that the raw materials that have not been turned over are moved to the bottom of the material turning claw mechanism 104, and then turned over by the material turning claw mechanism 104.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second motor 123 drives the driving sprocket 124 to rotate, the driving sprocket 124 drives the driven sprocket 125 to rotate through the transmission chain 126, the driven sprocket 125 drives the rotating shaft 122 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 122 drives the supporting plate 120 to rotate.

[0052] Furthermore, the plurality of support rods 127 are respectively fixedly disposed at the bottom of the mounting plate 107 ; and the scraper ring 128 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the plurality of support rods 127 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the plurality of support rods 127 are used to support and install the scraper ring 128. During the fermentation process, some raw materials may be firmly adhered to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 101 and cannot be turned over. Therefore, the scraper ring 128 is provided to scrape the raw materials on the inner wall during the downward movement to prevent the raw materials from being turned over. At the same time, it can also be used to clean the inner wall of the fermentation tank 101.

[0054] In the biological feed fermentation device described in this embodiment, the bottom end of the turning claw mechanism 104 is a quadrangular pyramid when folded, which is convenient for inserting into the fermented raw materials.

In normal use, the raw materials are crushed and poured into the fermentation tank 101, and then a proper amount of water is added to the fermentation tank 101, and the strain is inoculated into the fermentation tank 101. After waiting for a period of fermentation, the lifting mechanism 103 drives the multiple turning claw mechanisms 104 to move down and insert. The material turning claw mechanisms 104 are inserted into the bottom of the fermentation tank 101, and then the bottom ends of the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 are unfolded, and then the lifting mechanism 103 drives the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 to move upward, and the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 will turn the raw materials at the bottom upward on the way up. After moving to the top, the bottom ends of the multiple material turning claw mechanisms 104 are retracted, and driven by the lifting mechanism 103, they are inserted into the bottom of the fermentation tank 101 again. This cycle is repeated several times to complete the turning of the materials, thereby solving the problem of troublesome and laborious turning of the materials during the fermentation of the raw materials.
