Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sauce production, in particular to a fermentation device and a fermentation method for processing fried chicken sauce. Background Art

[0002] Pickles are a traditional specialty food in my country with a long history and a broad consumer base. The production process includes material selection, pickling, fermentation and other links, among which the fermentation process plays a vital role in the flavor, texture and quality of pickles. Traditional pickle fermentation mostly uses open containers or simple fermentation tanks, relying on natural conditions for fermentation. This method has problems such as difficult to control the fermentation environment, poor sanitary conditions, and unstable product quality, which is difficult to meet the requirements of modern food industry for product quality and safety.

[0003] With the continuous development of food processing technology, various types of fermentation equipment have emerged to improve the efficiency and quality of pickle production. However, the existing pickle fermentation equipment still has some shortcomings in practical application: First, during the fermentation process, pickles need to be immersed in the fermentation liquid at all times to ensure a uniform fermentation environment. As the fermentation liquid evaporates and leaks over time, the liquid level drops, and the pickles may be exposed to the air, causing oxidation, deterioration, and other problems. However, existing fermentation devices generally lack real-time monitoring and automatic replenishment functions for the fermentation liquid level, and often require frequent manual inspection and addition of fermentation liquid, which increases labor intensity and management costs.

[0004] Secondly, during the fermentation process, the pickles need to be properly compacted to remove the air between the pickles and promote the uniformity and depth of fermentation. The existing compaction mechanism is simple in design and cannot accurately adjust the pressure according to the actual fermentation degree and density of the pickles, which can easily lead to excessive or insufficient compaction, affecting the taste and quality of the pickles. In addition, the lack of pressure monitoring during the compaction process cannot ensure the consistency of each batch of products.

[0005] Thirdly, the fermentation process is affected by many factors such as temperature, humidity, and bacterial activity, which requires precise control and monitoring of the fermentation environment. Existing fermentation equipment has a low degree of automation and lacks a monitoring and feedback mechanism for key parameters. It is impossible to adjust the fermentation conditions in time, resulting in large fluctuations in product quality, which is not conducive to large-scale production and management.

The front and rear sides of the outer wall of the baffle rod 87 can be slidably adapted and inserted into the inner cavity of the two positioning rings 86. The outer wall of the baffle rod 87 contacts the outer wall of the support rod 83, and the baffle rod 87 is used to block the support rod 83.

[0024] The detailed connection means are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process. The specific work is as follows.

[0025] The first step is to connect the water pump 71 and the water pipe 4 used to transport pure water to the outside, so that the pressure switch 85 and the water pump are electrically connected, and the bolts are rotated to release the fixing of the mounting frame 71 and the positioning seat 3, and the mounting frame 71 is pulled upward. The mounting frame 71 moves upward to drive the screw rod 72 to move upward. Since the first spring 76 is used to connect and support the connecting tube 77, the screw rod 72 moves upward and drives the pressing plate 712 to move upward through the connecting tube 77 until the pressing plate 712 moves out of the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder 1, and pickles and fermentation liquid for fermenting pickles are added to the fermentation cylinder 1. As the fermentation liquid is added to the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder 1, the liquid level in the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder 1 increases, and the float 6 rises with the increase of the liquid level in the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder 1 until an appropriate amount of pickles and fermentation liquid are added to the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder 1, and the pressing plate 712 is inserted into the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder 1, and the outer wall of the mounting frame 71 is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning seat 3, and the mounting frame 71 is fixed to the positioning seat 3 with bolts. The screw rod 72 is rotated in the inner cavity of the seat 3. The rotational force generated by the rotation of the screw rod 72 prompts the screw rod 72 to drive the extrusion rod 75, the connecting tube 77 and the pressing plate 712 to move downward until the bottom end of the pressing plate 712 contacts the pickles, so that the pickles will block the pressing plate 712 to prevent the pressing plate 712 from continuing to move downward. The screw rod 72 is continuously rotated. The downward movement of the screw rod 72 prompts the slider 74 to slide upward along the inner cavity of the slide groove 73 until the extrusion rubber 79 contacts the pressure sensor 78. The screw rod 72 continues to move downward and uses the pressure sensor 78 to press the extrusion rubber 79 downward to drive the extrusion rod 75 to move downward. The extrusion rod 75 moves downward to squeeze the first spring 76 to elastically deform, so that the elastic force of the first spring 76 is used to apply pressure to the pressing plate 712, so that pressure is applied to the pickles through the pressing plate 712, and the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 78 is read by the display 711, so as to judge the pressure applied to the pickles until a suitable value is reached. Step 2, slide the blocking rod 87 backward until the blocking rod 87 and the supporting rod 83 are separated, and then the supporting rod 83 can be pushed to drive the blocking plate 84 to move to the right side under the elastic force of the second spring 82, until the blocking plate 84 is inserted into the inner cavity of the floating tank 2 through the gap between the two limiting rods 5. As the pickles ferment, the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank 1 will decrease due to evaporation and other reasons. The reduction of the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank 1 will cause the liquid level in the fermentation tank 1 to decrease, thereby prompting the float 6 to move downward with the drop in the liquid level. Since the float 6 moves with the rise and fall of the liquid level, the float 6 will reflect the height of the liquid level. At the same time, The bottom end of the pressing plate 712 is firmly in contact with the pickles, and the pressing plate 712 reflects the height of the pickles. When the liquid level in the fermentation tank 1 drops to a level that cannot completely immerse the pickles, the float 6 is prompted to drop to contact the pressure switch 85, and the float 6 is used to squeeze the pressure switch 85, thereby prompting the external water pump for conveying pure water to start. The water pump conveys pure water and flows into the inner cavity of the fermentation tank 1 through the water pipe 4, thereby increasing the liquid level in the fermentation tank 1. After an appropriate amount of pure water is added to the fermentation tank 1, the water pump is turned off, and the conveyed pure water is mixed with the original fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank to continue fermenting the pickles.

[0026] In summary, the device can intelligently monitor and automatically adjust the fermentation liquid level, can intelligently supplement pure water according to actual needs, maintain the stability of the fermentation environment, ensure that the pickles are always fully immersed in the fermentation liquid, and effectively prevent deterioration. In addition, it optimizes the vegetable compaction mechanism to ensure that the compaction pressure is moderate and adjustable, so as to ensure the fermentation effect and quality of the pickles, and significantly improve the automation level, efficiency and product consistency of pickle production.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

8. A fermentation method for processing fried chicken sauce, which is applied to the fermentation device for processing fried chicken sauce as claimed in claim 6, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step 1: When in use, connect the water pump and water pipe (4) used to transport pure water from the outside, so as to electrically connect the pressure switch (85) and the water pump, rotate and release the bolts fixing the mounting frame (71) and the positioning seat (3), pull the mounting frame (71) upward, and the mounting frame (71) moves upward to drive the screw rod (72) to move upward. Since the first spring (76) is connected to the supporting connecting tube (77), the screw rod (72) moves upward through the connecting tube (77) to drive the pressing plate (712) to move upward until the pressing plate (712) moves out of the fermentation tank ( 1), pickles and fermentation liquid for fermenting pickles are added into the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder (1), and as the fermentation liquid is added into the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder (1), the liquid level in the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder (1) increases, and the float (6) rises as the liquid level in the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder (1) increases, until a suitable amount of pickles and fermentation liquid are added into the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder (1), the pressing plate (712) is inserted into the inner cavity of the fermentation cylinder (1), and the outer wall of the mounting frame (71) is inserted into the inner cavity of the positioning seat (3), and the mounting frame (71) is fixed to the positioning seat (3) by bolts. 3), the screw rod (72) is rotated, and the rotational force generated by the rotation of the screw rod (72) causes the screw rod (72) to drive the extrusion rod (75), the connecting tube (77) and the pressure plate (712) to move downward until the bottom end of the pressure plate (712) contacts the pickles, thereby using the pickles to block the pressure plate (712) to prevent the pressure plate (712) from moving further downward. The screw rod (72) is continuously rotated, and the downward movement of the screw rod (72) causes the slider (74) to slide upward along the inner cavity of the slide groove (73) until the rubber (79) and the pressure sensor (712) are squeezed. The screw rod (72) continues to move downwards, and the pressure sensor (78) is used to press the rubber (79) downwards to drive the extrusion rod (75) to move downwards. The extrusion rod (75) moves downwards to squeeze the first spring (76) to cause elastic deformation, thereby using the elastic force of the first spring (76) to apply pressure to the pressing plate (712), so that pressure is applied to the pickles through the pressing plate (712), and the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor (78) is read by the display (711), so as to determine the pressure applied to the pickles until an appropriate value is reached; Step 2: Slide the blocking rod (87) backward until the blocking rod (87) and the support rod (83) are separated, and then the support rod (83) is pushed to drive the baffle (84) to move to the right side under the elastic force of the second spring (82), until the baffle (84) is inserted into the inner cavity of the floating tank (2) through the gap between the two limit rods (5). As the pickles ferment, the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank (1) will decrease due to evaporation and other reasons. The reduction of the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank (1) will cause the liquid level in the fermentation tank (1) to decrease, thereby prompting the float (6) to move downward following the decrease in the liquid level. Since the float (6) moves following the rise and fall of the liquid level, the float (6) will reflect the height of the liquid level. Since the bottom end of the pressing plate (712) is firmly in contact with the pickles, the pressing plate (712) reflects the height of the pickles. When the liquid level in the fermentation tank (1) drops to a level that the pickles cannot be completely immersed, the float (6) is prompted to drop to contact the pressure switch (85), so that the float (6) is used to squeeze the pressure switch (85), thereby prompting the external water pump for conveying pure water to start, and the water pump conveys the pure water, which flows into the inner cavity of the fermentation tank (1) through the water pipe (4), thereby increasing the liquid level in the fermentation tank (1) until an appropriate amount of pure water is added to the fermentation tank (1). The water pump is then turned off, so that the conveyed pure water is mixed with the original fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank, and the pickles continue to be fermented.
