[0025] (3) Beneficial effects

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a fermentation device and a fermentation process for producing flavored fermented bean curd, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The fermentation unit's mobile connecting plate at the highest position moves, releasing its connection with the supporting connecting block in preparation for flipping. The mobile push plate drives the fermentation connecting plate to the top surface of the clamping adsorption plate below, which then adsorbs the fermentation connecting plate. Subsequently, the two clamping adsorption plates approach each other, bringing the two fermentation movable plates into contact with each other. The rotary damper drives the clamping mounting plate downward to achieve flipping. After flipping, the positions of the two fermentation movable plates are swapped, and the fermented bean curd base moves from the original fermentation movable plate to the new fermentation movable plate. The lifting unit at the highest position rotates the supporting plate, supporting the fermentation movable plate and driving it upward to the connection position of the supporting connecting block at the highest position. Subsequently, the rotating supporting plate moves downward to reset. After the fermentation movable plate of the fermentation unit at the lowest position moves upward, the clamping adsorption plate releases its adsorption to the fermentation movable plate on which the fermented bean curd base is placed. The fermentation moving plate that has completed the flipping moves to the lowest position, ready for the next fermentation. At the same time, the clamping adsorption plates move away from each other and reset to the initial state. Through the automated flipping and moving mechanism, the fermented bean curd can be fermented evenly, avoiding the tediousness and unevenness of manual flipping, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency and quality.

[0028] 2. Rotate the two fermentation movable plates and interchange them up and down to turn the fermented bean curd dough over and move it from the original fermentation movable plate to the new fermentation movable plate. The fermentation movable plate originally used to place the fermented bean curd dough participates in the flipping process of the next fermentation movable plate and is recycled in sequence, thereby reducing the number of fermentation movable plates used for flipping and saving costs.

[0029] 3. The entire turning and moving process is highly automated and located in a closed fermentation box, which reduces manual intervention and improves the stability and reliability of the production line.

[0068] A fermentation process for producing flavored fermented bean curd, using the above-mentioned fermentation device, comprises the following steps:

[0069] During fermentation, after the fermented bean curd base is inoculated, the fermentation box 1 is opened, the fermented bean curd base is placed on the fermentation movable plate 401, and the fermentation box 1 is closed for fermentation;

[0070] After fermentation for a period of time, the movable connecting plate 403 located at the highest position of the fermentation unit 4 moves completely into the connecting mounting groove, releasing the connection between the supporting connecting block 402 and the fermentation movable plate 401, and the fermentation connecting plate moves into the top surface of the clamping adsorption plate 301 located at the lower position, and the clamping adsorption plate 301 adsorbs the fermentation connecting plate, and the bottom surface of the clamping adsorption plate 301 located at the upper position adsorbs a fermentation movable plate 401. When the other fermentation movable plate 401 moves to the top surface of the clamping adsorption plate 301 located at the lower position, the clamping adsorption plates 301 are close to each other, so that the two fermentation movable plates 401 contact each other, and the rotary damper 304 drives the clamping mounting plate 302 to move downward, and the moving rack 305 moves, so that the rotating gear 303 meshes with the moving rack 305 and rotates during the downward movement, so that the two clamped fermentation connecting plates are flipped, and the fermented bean curd blank is flipped;

[0071] When the fermentation movable plate 401 at the highest position moves to enter the flipping process, the rotating support plate 501 of the lifting unit 5 at the highest position rotates so that the top surface of the rotating support plate 501 contacts the bottom surface of the fermentation movable plate 401, and the rotating support plate 501 supports the fermentation movable plate 401. The rotating support plate 501 drives the corresponding fermentation movable plate 401 to move upward to the connection position of the support connecting block 402 at the highest position, and the mobile connecting plate 403 moves out of the connecting mounting groove to connect the support connecting block 402 with the fermentation movable plate 401. The corresponding rotating support plate 501 moves downward and resets, and rotates after resetting without affecting the movement of the fermentation unit 4 below. The fermentation unit 4 below moves upward in sequence;

[0072] When the fermentation movable plate 401 of the fermentation unit 4 at the bottom position moves upward, the clamping adsorption plate 301 releases the adsorption of the fermentation movable plate 401 on which the fermented bean curd dough is placed, and the fermentation movable plate 401 that has completed the flipping moves to the lowest position, and the corresponding movable connecting plate 403 moves out of the connecting mounting groove, so that the support connecting block 402 is connected to the fermentation movable plate 401, and the rotary damper 304 drives the clamping mounting plate 302 to move upward, and the moving rack 305 moves, so that the rotating gear 303 does not contact the moving rack 305 during the upward movement, and the clamping adsorption plates 301 move away from each other.
