Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of probiotic fermentation, and in particular to a fermentation tank for probiotics and Chinese herbal medicines and a fermentation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the use of probiotics to ferment Chinese herbal medicines has become a "novel" Chinese herbal medicine processing technology. During the fermentation process, probiotics not only increase the content of bioactive natural products, but also benefit the host's intestinal and immune systems. After fermentation, the chemical composition and content of Chinese herbal medicines usually change, and some active ingredients can only be absorbed after being transformed by microorganisms. Due to the different intestinal microbial composition and drug absorption capacity of the host, in vitro fermentation can standardize Chinese herbal medicine products and improve clinical efficacy. Clinical trials have shown that Chinese herbal medicines fermented with probiotics have better pharmacological activity and good clinical effects than unfermented Chinese herbal medicines.

[0003] Application number: 2024108067130, discloses a fully fermented probiotic fermentation tank, which can slightly stir the probiotics through the coordinated operation of a motor, a spiral rod, an inner rod, a limit plate, a limit rod, a movable ring, a rotating ring, a roller, a stirring wheel, a sleeve ring, a clamping rod, and a limit ring to ensure the uniformity of oxygen supply. At the same time, the movable ring will flip the probiotics at the bottom of the tank upward to improve the uniformity of the distribution of the probiotics. At the same time, the roller drives the stirring wheel to rotate itself, so that the stirring wheel will rotate while it moves to further flip the probiotics, and the roller and the limit ring can be replaced with gears and gear rings.

[0004] This patented design uses a roller to drive the stirring wheel to move up and down and rotate, which enables the probiotics at the bottom of the tank to flip upward and improve the uniformity of probiotic distribution in the local area. However, this design has limitations: the working range of the stirring wheel is limited to up and down movement, and it cannot cover the entire tank space, resulting in insufficient mixing of the probiotics and the Chinese herbal extract in the upper and middle parts of the tank. This not only affects the overall uniformity of the solution, but may also cause the Chinese herbal extract to fail to fully ferment, thereby affecting the quality and effect of the final product. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of uneven stirring of the solution inside the fermentation tank, inability to fully mix the upper and lower solutions inside the fermentation tank, resulting in failure to fully ferment the Chinese herbal medicine extract, and to propose a fermentation tank for probiotics and Chinese herbal medicine and a fermentation method thereof.

2. The fermentation tank for probiotics and Chinese herbal medicine according to claim 1, characterized in that: A circular slide groove is arranged at the top of the connection box (6), and two sliders are slidably connected in the circular slide groove. The lower ends of the two sliders are connected to telescopic rods, and the lower ends of the telescopic rods (13) are connected to the rotating plate (14).

3. The fermentation tank for probiotics and Chinese herbal medicine according to claim 2, characterized in that: Two limiting grooves (28) are arranged on the side wall of the groove (33), and limiting blocks (32) are slidably connected in both limiting grooves (28), and the limiting blocks (32) are connected to the moving rod (7).

4. The fermentation tank for probiotics and Chinese herbal medicine according to claim 3, characterized in that: One end of one of the connection plates (4) is connected to a connection ring (2), a discharge pipe is provided on the connection ring (2), the upper surface of the tank body (3) is connected to a feed port (1), a feed port is connected to a feed pipe, and the feed pipe and the discharge pipe are connected via a telescopic hose.

5. A fermentation method for probiotics and Chinese herbal medicines using a fermentation tank, characterized in that: The fermentation tank according to claim 4 is used, comprising the following steps: S1: The motor (12) controls the rotating disk (11) to rotate, and the half teeth on the rotating disk (11) first mesh with a gear (8), and the gear (8) controls the connecting sleeve (9) to rotate together, and the connecting sleeve (9) drives another gear (8) to rotate, and the half teeth on the rotating disk (11) mesh with the gear (8), so that the connecting sleeve (9) reverses again, and the rotation of the connecting sleeve (9) drives the second stirring rod (27) and the rotating plate (14) to rotate together, and the fan blades on the second stirring rod (27) stir the material in the tank body (3); S2: The rotating plate (14) rotates through the mounting plate (23) to drive the connecting plate (4) to rotate together. The rotation of the mounting plate (23) and the connecting plate (4) drives the sleeve (24) and the moving rod (7) to rotate together. The sleeve (24) causes the fourth bevel gear (26) to rotate around the third bevel gear (25). The fourth bevel gear (26) causes the sleeve (24) to rotate. The sleeve (24) causes the first bevel gear (16) to rotate through the moving rod (7). The first bevel gear (16) drives the second bevel gear (17) to change the stack. The second bevel gear (17) controls the first stirring rod (18) to rotate. The stirring blades on the first stirring rod (18) also stir the material in the tank body (3). S3: When the connecting plate (4) rotates, the moving block (19) moves in a direction away from the mounting plate (23). The movement of the moving block (19) causes the spring (20) to stretch. The moving block (19) drives the first stirring rod (18) to move, thereby increasing the stirring range of the first stirring rod (18). At the same time, the movement of the moving block (19) also drives the connecting block (29) to move. Since the connecting block (29) is provided with a connecting hole (31) corresponding to the tilting rod (5), the connecting block (29) squeezes the tilting rod (5) when it moves. The tilting rod (5) causes the rotating plate (14) to move upward. The rotating plate (14) drives the second stirring rod (27) and the first stirring rod (18) to move upward together. The second stirring rod (27) and the first stirring rod (18) drive the stirring blade to move upward in the liquid. S4: Then the connecting sleeve (9) is reversed, and the connecting sleeve (9) drives the second stirring rod (27) and the rotating plate (14) to move in opposite directions. At this time, the spring (20) is reset, thereby pulling the moving block (19) to move toward the origin. At this time, the moving block (19) drives the connecting block (29) to move, and the connecting block (29) controls the tilting rod (5) to move, thereby causing the rotating plate (14) to move downward, thereby causing the second stirring rod (27) and the first stirring rod (18) to move downward, and then repeating the steps S2-S3 again.
