[0028] like Figure 4-5 As shown;

[0029] A probiotic powder processing device includes a first-level barrel 201, and side shafts 206 are fixed on the left and right sides of the first-level barrel 201. The two side shafts 206 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the rectangular frame 202. The first-level barrel 201 is located in the inner circle of the rectangular frame 202. A motor frame 208 is fixed on the right side of the rectangular frame 202. A motor 207 is fixed on the motor frame 208. A rotating frame 205 is fixed on the output shaft of the motor 207. A rotating plate 204 is fixed on the side shaft 206 located on the right side. Elastic plates 203 are fixed on both sides of the rotating plate 204. The two elastic plates 203 are respectively fixed on both sides of the rotating frame 205. The culture medium and probiotic strains are placed in the first barrel 201, so that the probiotics are cultured in the first barrel 201. The second motor 207 can drive the rotating frame 205 to swing. When the rotating frame 205 swings, the elasticity of the two elastic sheets 203 drives the rotating sheet 204 and the side shaft 206 to rotate about the axis of the side shaft 206. In turn, the first barrel 201 is driven to rock back and forth through the elasticity of the two elastic sheets 203, thereby evenly shaking the probiotic strains and the liquid culture medium, so that the probiotic strains quickly proliferate in the liquid culture medium.

[0030] When the probiotics in the primary barrel 201 need to be poured out, the second drive motor 207 can drive the rotating frame 205 to rotate at a large angle, which is greater than 90 degrees. At this time, the probiotics in the primary barrel 201 can be poured out. The probiotics in the primary barrel 201 are poured into a larger container for proliferation and cultivation.

[0031] Furthermore, in order to fully pour out the probiotics in the first-level barrel 201, the rotating rack 205 is rotated one circle so that the first-level barrel 201 becomes an inverted state, and then the rotating rack 205 can be driven by the motor 207 to swing so that the first-level barrel 201 swings in an inverted state, thereby fully pouring out the probiotics in the first-level barrel 201.

[0032] like Figure 4-7 As shown;

[0033] Since the upper side of the rectangular frame 202 is welded with a gantry 103, the upper side of the gantry 101 is connected to the motor 102 by screws, and the output shaft of the motor 102 is connected to the middle part of the upper side of the gantry 103, flat bars 304 are fixed on the left and right sides of the secondary barrel 301, and the lower ends of the gantry 101 are respectively fixed on the two flat bars 304. The primary barrel 201 is located above the secondary barrel 301, and the probiotics poured out from the primary barrel 201 will fall into the secondary barrel 301 to continue to proliferate and culture. When the motor 102 rotates, it can drive the gantry 103, the rectangular frame 202 and the primary barrel 201 to rotate, so that the probiotics in the primary barrel 201 are poured out while rotating, and then the probiotics in the primary barrel 201 are dispersed and poured into the culture medium of the secondary barrel 301 for proliferation and culture.

[0034] Furthermore, the primary barrel rotates while pouring, causing the fermentation liquid to fall into the secondary barrel in a "spiral scattering" pattern, avoiding localized accumulation during traditional pouring. This uniform inoculation reduces nutrient competition within the culture medium, advancing the logarithmic growth phase of bifidobacteria and increasing bacterial yield per unit volume.

[0035] like Figure 4-5 As shown;

[0036] Since stirring rods 209 are fixed at the four corners of the lower side of the rectangular frame 202, and multiple additional rods 210 are fixed on the inner side of each stirring rod 209 from top to bottom, when the motor 102 rotates to drive the rectangular frame 202 to rotate with the output shaft of the motor 102 as the axis, it can also drive multiple stirring rods 209 and multiple additional rods 210 to stir the culture medium and probiotics in the secondary barrel 301, thereby making the culture medium and probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 evenly distributed, so that the probiotics can proliferate faster when proliferating and culturing in the secondary barrel 301.

[0037] Furthermore, the ends of the horizontal sections of the additional rods 210 are rounded (R=5 mm), and the edges of the vertical sections are provided with serrated guide grooves (groove depth 2 mm) to prevent impurities such as dietary fiber in the culture medium from being entangled.

[0038] like Figure 6-7 As shown;

[0039] Since the lower part of the secondary barrel 301 is provided with a bottom plate 302, the upper side of the bottom plate 302 is provided with a tapered portion 307, and side rods 303 are fixed on both sides of the bottom plate 302. The two side rods 303 are respectively connected to the two flat bars 304 for vertical sliding. The two side rods 303 are driven to slide by hydraulic cylinders. When the probiotics are multiplied and cultured to a certain number in the secondary barrel 301, the two side rods 303 are driven to move downward, thereby driving the bottom plate 302 to move downward, so that a gap is generated between the bottom plate 302 and the secondary barrel 301, thereby allowing the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 to flow out through the gap, allowing the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 to enter a larger environment for continued proliferation and culture. The upper side of the bottom plate 302 is provided with a tapered portion 307, which can help the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 to flow out along its surface, so that the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 are discharged more cleanly.

[0040] like Figure 6-7 As shown;

[0041] Since the inner side of the secondary barrel 301 is vertically slidably connected with a scraper ring 306, connecting columns 305 are fixed on the left and right ends of the lower side of the scraper ring 306, and the lower ends of the two connecting columns 305 are fixed on the bottom plate 302, when the bottom plate 302 moves downward, it will also drive the connecting columns 305 and the scraper ring 306 to move downward, and then the scraper ring 306 moves downward to scrape the inner wall of the secondary barrel 301, so that the probiotics on the inner wall of the secondary barrel 301 are scraped off, reducing the probiotic residue in the secondary barrel 301, and allowing the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 to enter a larger container.

[0042] Furthermore, the edge of the scraper ring is designed to be serrated (tooth pitch 5mm, tooth depth 2mm), and the serrated structure enhances the ability to remove stubborn biofilm.

[0043] like Figure 6-9 As shown;

[0044] Since the probiotic powder processing device also includes a three-stage barrel 401, a plurality of supporting legs 402 are fixed to the lower edge of the three-stage barrel 401, and support seats 403 are fixed on the front and rear sides of the upper part of the three-stage barrel 401. Two parallel rings 406 are fixed between the two support seats 403. The two parallel rings 406 are arranged up and down, and a gap is formed between the two parallel rings 406. Two flat strips 304 are inserted in the gap. The secondary barrel 301 is arranged above the three-stage barrel 401. The probiotics flowing out of the secondary barrel 301 will enter the culture medium in the three-stage barrel 401 and continue to proliferate and culture in large quantities. The two flat strips 304 can be manually translated in the gap between the two parallel rings 406, so that the secondary barrel 301 can be translated to any position above the three-stage barrel 401, and the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 are evenly sprinkled at multiple positions in the three-stage barrel 401 for proliferation and culture, so that the probiotics in the three-stage barrel 401 are cultured faster.

[0045] like Figure 6-9 As shown;

[0046] Since the upper parts of the two support seats 403 are vertically slidably connected with vertical rods 404, a pressure ring 405 is fixed between the lower ends of the two vertical rods 404, and the pressure ring 405 presses on the two flat bars 304. When the two flat bars 304 are freely translated in the gap between the two parallel rings 406, the secondary barrel 301 is freely translated to any position above the tertiary barrel 401, and the pressure ring 405 is driven to press on the two flat bars 304, thereby fixing the positions of the two flat bars 304, and then fixing the relative positions of the secondary barrel 301 and the tertiary barrel 401, so that the secondary barrel 301 pours out the probiotics at a specific position on the tertiary barrel 401.

[0047] like Figure 8-9 As shown;

[0048] A discharge pipe 407 is provided on the lower side of the tertiary barrel 401, and a valve 408 is provided on the discharge pipe 407. A motor 409 is fixed to the lower side of the tertiary barrel 401. The output shaft of the motor 409 extends into the tertiary barrel 401, and centrifugal blades 410 are fixed to the output shaft of the motor 409. When the probiotics in the tertiary barrel 401 are fully cultured, the motor 409 drives the centrifugal blades 410 to rotate, thereby centrifugally separating the probiotics in the tertiary barrel 401. The density of the probiotics is higher than that of the culture medium components and water in the fermentation broth, making them more easily sedimented under the action of centrifugal force. The valve 408 can then be opened to discharge the probiotics through the discharge pipe 407.

[0049] A probiotic powder processing process comprises the following steps:

[0050] S1: placing culture medium and probiotic strains into the first-level barrel 201 to culture the probiotics in the first-level barrel 201;

[0051] S2: After the probiotics in the first barrel 201 have multiplied, culture medium is added to the second barrel 301, and the probiotics in the first barrel 201 are poured into the second barrel 301;

[0052] S3: After the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 have multiplied, culture medium is added to the tertiary barrel 401, and the probiotics in the secondary barrel 301 are poured into the tertiary barrel 401;

[0053] S4: After the probiotic bacteria in the third-level barrel 401 have been grown, the probiotic bacteria in the third-level barrel 401 are centrifuged.

[0054] A probiotic powder processing device processes probiotic powder, wherein the probiotic powder is a bifidobacterium component.
