The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0037] The present application provides a liftable koji-making and discharging device to address the following technical issues with conventional fermentation towers: The central cylinder of the fermentation tower rotates around a central fixed cylinder at the center of a circular disk. The sidewalls of the rotating cylinder are provided with openable and closable discharge gates. This gate is difficult to securely fit tightly against the wall of the central cylinder, resulting in gaps and sealing issues. This increases manufacturing costs and installation difficulties. The liftable koji-making and discharging device is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application provides a liftable koji discharging device 10, for example, see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the liftable koji making and discharging device 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The liftable koji making and discharging device 10 of the present application can be used for food fermentation purposes.

[0039] In order to more clearly illustrate the structure of the liftable koji making and discharging device 10 , the liftable koji making and discharging device 10 will be introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] For example, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, a liftable koji discharging device 10 includes a support assembly 100, a central fixed cylinder 200, a discharging cone 300, a lifting sleeve 400 and a lifting component 500. The central fixed cylinder 200 is installed on the support assembly 100. Figure 3 As shown, the discharge cone hopper 300 is installed on the support assembly 100 and is located below the central fixed cylinder 200, and the tip of the discharge cone hopper 300 faces the bottom of the support assembly 100, see Figure 4 、 Figure 9In the embodiment shown, the lifting sleeve 400 is sleeved on the central fixed cylinder 200 with a gap therebetween, the lifting component 500 is mounted on the support assembly 100 and connected to the lifting sleeve 400, and the lifting component 500 is used to drive the lifting sleeve 400 to move along the central fixed cylinder 200 and the discharge cone hopper 300.

[0041] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, when the lifting sleeve 400 is partially mounted on the discharge cone hopper 300, the discharge cone hopper 300 can be closed. When the lifting sleeve 400 rises and its lower surface is separated from the upper surface of the discharge cone hopper 300, the material can enter the discharge cone hopper 300 through the gap between the lifting sleeve 400 and the discharge cone hopper 300.

[0042] Alternatively, see Figure 6-Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, when the lifting sleeve 400 is lowered to a position where its upper surface is not higher than the upper surface of the discharge cone 300, the material can enter the discharge cone 300 through the gap between the lifting sleeve 400 and the central fixed cylinder 200. Figure 3 shown.

[0043] In some embodiments, the height of the central fixed cylinder 200 is equal to the height of the discharge cone 300. The height of the discharge cone 300 refers to the size of the discharge cone 300 in the vertical direction. The setting of the height of the central fixed cylinder 200 being equal to the height of the discharge cone 300 can achieve Figure 6-Figure 7 In the embodiment of the present invention, when discharging, the central fixed cylinder 200 drops to the same height as the discharge cone hopper 300, and the central fixed cylinder 200 does not take up too much space, thereby improving the integration of the device.

[0044] In some embodiments, the height of the lifting sleeve 400 is equal to the height of the central fixing cylinder 200 .

[0045] In some embodiments, the upper opening of the discharge cone hopper 300 is a circular opening, and the lower opening of the discharge cone hopper 300 is a square opening. It is not difficult to understand that in other examples, the shape of the discharge cone hopper 300 can also be other forms that can ensure that the discharge cone hopper 300 can achieve the purpose of discharging.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 6-Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the lifting sleeve 400 is sleeved on the central fixed cylinder 200 with a gap therebetween, and the liftable koji discharging device 10 further includes a rolling assembly 600. The lifting sleeve 400 is rollingly connected to the outer wall of the central fixed cylinder 200 via the rolling assembly 600.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 As shown, the rolling assembly 600 includes a rolling wheel 610 and a fixed track 620. The fixed track 620 is elongated and disposed on the outer wall of the central fixed cylinder 200 and extends along the height of the central fixed cylinder 200. The rolling wheel 610 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the lifting sleeve 400, and the rolling wheel 610 and the fixed track 620 are in rolling engagement.

[0048] In some embodiments, the scroll wheel 610 and the fixed rail 620 may be in contact with each other. Optionally, the fixed rail 620 is provided with a retaining groove extending along the length of the fixed rail 620. The scroll wheel 610 is partially restrained within the retaining groove, and the scroll wheel 610 is able to move along the extending direction of the retaining groove. The retaining groove is used to restrain the scroll wheel 610 and prevent it from detaching from the scroll wheel 610. The retaining groove is not shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 As shown, there are multiple rolling assemblies 600. The multiple rolling assemblies 600 are distributed at different positions on the inner wall of the lifting sleeve 400. Optionally, the lifting sleeve 400 is a square columnar structure, and the outer walls of the four corners of the lifting sleeve 400 are respectively provided with rolling assemblies 600.

[0050] In some of these implementations, please refer again to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the lifting component 500 includes a screw assembly 510 installed on the support assembly 100 and a lifting drive component 520. The lifting drive component 520 is connected to the lifting sleeve 400 through the screw assembly 510.

[0051] In some embodiments, the lifting drive component 520 can be a drive motor.

[0052] In some implementations, see Figure 7 As shown, the screw assembly 510 includes a guide post 511, a screw rod 512, and a sliding base 513. The guide post 511 and the screw rod 512 extend vertically and are arranged parallel to each other. The sliding base 513 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 512 and is slidably connected to the guide post 511. The lifting drive component 520 is connected to the screw rod 512 to drive the screw rod 512 to rotate. The lifting sleeve 400 is connected to the sliding base 513.

[0053] In some embodiments, there are multiple guide posts 511. The sliding base 513 is slidably connected to the multiple guide posts 511. Optionally, the lifting sleeve 400 is a square columnar structure, and the outer walls of the four corners of the lifting sleeve 400 are respectively provided with guide posts 511.

[0054] One embodiment of the present application also provides a song-making plate.

[0055] See also Figure 5 or Figure 10 As shown, the koji making disc body includes a koji making disc 20 and a liftable koji making and discharging device 10 in any of the above-mentioned embodiments. A clearance opening is provided in the middle of the koji making disc 20. The supporting assembly 100 of the liftable koji making and discharging device 10 is provided below the koji making disc 20, and the central fixed cylinder 200 is penetrated by the clearance opening. The lifting sleeve 400 can move up and down in the clearance opening.

[0056] In some embodiments, the bending disc 20 is a circular structure, and a clearance opening is provided in the middle of the bending disc 20 .

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 or Figure 10 As shown, the outer edge of the bending disc 20 is provided with a barrier edge extending upward. The barrier edge serves to restrict the material within the bending disc 20 and prevent it from spilling. The height of the barrier edge can be set according to actual needs.

[0058] In some embodiments, the bending disk 20 may be made of metal or alloy material.

[0059] See also Figure 5 As shown, when the Figure 1-Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the lifting sleeve 400 is driven by the lifting drive component 520 to descend until it is partially mounted on the discharge cone hopper 300. At this time, the lifting sleeve 400 and the discharge cone hopper 300 are in a partially mounted state, and there is no gap between the lower bottom surface of the lifting sleeve 400 and the upper top surface of the discharge cone hopper 300. The lifting sleeve 400 can close the discharge cone hopper 300 to prevent the material in the bending disc 20 from entering the discharge cone hopper 300. When the bending disc 20 needs to discharge material, the lifting drive component 520 drives the lifting sleeve 400 to rise. When the lower bottom surface of the lifting sleeve 400 is separated from the upper top surface of the discharging cone hopper 300, a gap gradually appears between the lower bottom surface of the lifting sleeve 400 and the upper top surface of the discharging cone hopper 300 (the gap is the gap in the vertical direction). The gap can be used for material discharging. When the gap between the lower bottom surface of the lifting sleeve 400 and the upper top surface of the discharging cone hopper 300 expands to a predetermined size, the lifting sleeve 400 stops rising, and the material in the bending disc 20 enters the discharging cone hopper 300 through the gap between the lifting sleeve 400 and the discharging cone hopper 300. The discharging cone hopper 300 is used to collect the material and guide it into the next process.

[0060] See also Figure 10 As shown, when the Figure 6-Figure 8In the embodiment shown, the lifting sleeve 400 is driven by the lifting drive component 520 to descend until the upper top surface of the lifting sleeve 400 is higher than a certain height of the upper top surface of the discharge cone hopper 300. At this time, the lifting sleeve 400 is outside the discharge cone hopper 300 and blocks the material in the bending disc 20, and the material in the bending disc 20 will not enter the discharge cone hopper 300. When discharging is required, the lifting drive component 520 drives the lifting sleeve 400 to descend. When the upper top surface of the lifting sleeve 400 is flush with the upper top surface of the discharging cone hopper 300, or the upper top surface of the lifting sleeve 400 is lower than the upper top surface of the discharging cone hopper 300, a gap appears between the upper part of the lifting sleeve 400 and the upper part of the discharging cone hopper 300 (the gap is the gap in the horizontal direction). The gap between the upper part of the lifting sleeve 400 and the upper part of the discharging cone hopper 300 can be used for material discharging. The material in the bending disc 20 enters the discharging cone hopper 300 through the gap between the lifting sleeve 400 and the discharging cone hopper 300. The discharging cone hopper 300 is used to collect the material and guide it into the next process.

[0061] The liftable koji making and discharging device 10 of the present application is provided with a lifting sleeve 400 which is sleeved on the central fixed cylinder 200. The lifting sleeve 400 is driven by the lifting component 500 to perform lifting motion. When rising or falling, the lifting sleeve 400 is separated from the discharge cone 300, thereby enabling the material to enter the discharge cone 300. Compared with the prior art, the present application improves the central cylinder structure in the fermentation tower in the traditional technology, and no longer has a discharge door that can be opened and closed. Instead, the discharge cone 300 is fed with material through the relative movement between the lifting sleeve 400 and the discharge cone 300. The overall structure is simple, and the central fixed cylinder 200 is no longer provided with a discharge door. The central fixed cylinder 200 no longer has gaps and sealing problems, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost and installation difficulty.

[0062] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own focus. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant description of other embodiments.

[0063] The various technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The above-described embodiments merely represent several embodiments of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art could make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application shall be determined by the appended claims.
