Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical and food beverage production technology, and more specifically, to a constant temperature fermentation system and a polysaccharide fermentation process for pharmaceutical and food beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Medicinal food beverages are plant-based drinks made from medicinal herbs that conform to the characteristics of food and medicine being of the same origin, through processes such as boiling and extraction. They are also known in the industry as "Chinese health water". Their ingredients include red beans, barley, longan, goji berries and other substances that are both traditional food ingredients and have medicinal value.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN220887492U discloses a constant-temperature fermentation device for soybeans, including a box body. A box cover is fixedly connected to the top of the box body with screws. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the right side of the box body. A rotating rod is welded to the output end of the drive motor. The left side of the rotating rod passes through the box body and extends into the inner cavity of the box body, where it is rotatably connected via a bearing. Multiple stirring rods of varying lengths are installed on the rotating rod. A ramp is installed on the inner wall of the box body. This utility model, through the design of the ramp, push plate, and motor, allows soybeans to be placed inside the box. When discharge is needed, the motor is started, causing the push plate to slide inward, exposing the discharge trough. Due to the action of the ramp and the fixed block, the soybeans slide down the ramp and into the discharge trough. The motor continues to rotate, causing the push plate to slide outward, thus pushing the fermented soybeans out of the discharge trough for collection, facilitating the discharge of fermented soybeans quickly and easily.

[0004] In the production of medicinal food and beverages, constant temperature fermentation tanks are required for constant temperature fermentation. However, during the use of existing constant temperature fermentation tanks, due to their relatively sealed nature and the fact that fermenting bacteria (such as yeast) produce gases such as carbon dioxide through respiration, the pressure inside the constant temperature fermentation tank gradually increases as the gas accumulates. This pressure is difficult to release automatically and in a timely manner, which can easily lead to the rupture of the constant temperature fermentation tank and abnormal microbial metabolic activities, thereby affecting the effectiveness of the constant temperature fermentation tank. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a constant temperature fermentation system for the production of medicinal food and beverages. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that during the use of existing constant temperature fermentation tanks, due to the relatively sealed nature of the tanks and the production of gases such as carbon dioxide by the fermenting bacteria (such as yeast), the pressure inside the constant temperature fermentation tank will gradually increase as the gas accumulates, making it difficult to automatically and timely discharge.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention: the longitudinal section of the guide ring is a right-angled triangular structure, and the top surface dimension of the guide ring is adapted to the bottom surface dimension of the fixed ring.

[0015] In addition, the present invention also relates to a fermentation process for polysaccharide content in medicinal and edible beverages, including the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Open the feed cover using the hinge, add the processed medicinal and food beverage ingredients into the tank, and then close the feed cover.

[0017] Step 2: After a period of time, the yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and bifidobacteria will secrete cellulase and pectinase during the fermentation process, which can cut open the plant cell walls and release the encapsulated polysaccharide components.

[0018] Step 3: Microorganisms will convert large polysaccharide molecules into smaller molecules that are more easily absorbed through enzymatic hydrolysis;

[0019] Step 4: After fermentation is complete, open the valve on the discharge pipe to allow the fermented medicinal and food beverage ingredients in the tank to be discharged from the discharge pipe.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. This invention, by setting up a pressure relief component and a rotating component, allows the feed cover to be opened via a hinge. After the processed medicinal and food beverage raw materials are added into the tank, the feed cover is closed. After a period of time, the gas produced by the respiration of microorganisms inside the tank will increase the air pressure inside the tank. This air pressure will compress the movable block, causing it to slide upwards within the vertical pipe of the pressure relief pipe. This causes the fixed column to slide within the wedge-shaped groove, resulting in the compression of spring A. Because the wedge-shaped groove has a spiral structure, the movable block will rotate within the vertical pipe of the pressure relief pipe. Under the torque of spring A, the rotating block will rotate within the rotating groove until the movable block and the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe are aligned. There is a gap. At this time, the gas in the tank will enter the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe through the gap between the movable block and the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe, and be discharged after being purified by the purification component. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a reasonable structural design. Through mechanized design, it can not only automatically realize the gas pressure discharge, but also extend the service life of the constant temperature fermentation tank body. Furthermore, through the spiral movement of the movable block, not only can the thermal stress be dispersed by periodic rotation during pressure relief, avoiding fatigue of the movable block material itself caused by single-point high temperature, but it can also extend the sliding time of the movable block, thereby reducing the elastic force of spring A and preventing the movable block from returning to its position too quickly and causing damage.

[0022] 2. By setting up a sealing component, when the movable block slides upward in the vertical pipe of the pressure relief pipe, the sealing ring and the sealing groove will no longer be in contact. Since the longitudinal section of the sealing ring gradually decreases from the inside to the outside, the sealing performance between the sealing ring and the sealing groove can be improved by extending the contact area between the sealing ring and the sealing groove. Furthermore, since the longitudinal section of the guide ring is a right-angled triangular structure, the guide ring can guide the gas in the tank so that it can pass smoothly through the fixed ring and push the movable block.

[0023] 3. This invention, by setting up a purification component and a sliding component, allows the connecting block to slide upwards in the connecting groove by pulling the handle on the connecting block. This causes the guide block to slide upwards in the guide groove, and the inclined surface of the reinforcing block to press against the inner wall of the reinforcing groove. The reinforcing block then slides in the receiving groove, causing the spring B to contract under force until the end of the reinforcing block contacts the inner wall of the guide groove. At this point, the spring B stops contracting until the activated carbon hopper moves out of the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe. Then, the activated carbon hopper is rotated, causing the sliding block to slide in the sliding groove until it slides out of the sliding groove. At this point, the activated carbon in the activated carbon hopper can be replaced. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the present invention provides a constant temperature fermentation system for the production of medicinal food and beverages, including a constant temperature fermentation tank body 1, a pressure relief assembly 2, a rotating assembly 3, and a sealing assembly 4; the constant temperature fermentation tank body 1 includes a tank body 101, an inlet cover 102 for adding medicinal food and beverages, and a discharge pipe 103 for discharging medicinal food and beverages; the inlet cover 102 is hinged to the tank body 101; the discharge pipe 103 is fixedly welded to the bottom surface of the tank body 101 and communicates with the tank body 101, and a valve is provided on the discharge pipe 103;

[0038] The pressure relief assembly 2 is arranged on the tank body 101; the pressure relief assembly 2 includes a pressure relief pipe 201, a spring A 202, a movable block 203, a wedge groove 204, and a fixed column 205; the pressure relief pipe 201 is fixedly welded to the top surface of the tank body 101 and communicates with the tank body 101; one end of the spring A 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pressure relief pipe 201; the movable block 203 is slidably disposed in the pressure relief pipe 201 and connected to the other end of the spring A 202 through the rotating assembly 3, and the movable block 203 is connected to the pressure relief pipe 201 through the sealing assembly 4; a wedge groove 204 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the pressure relief pipe 201. 4; The fixed column 205 is slidably disposed in the wedge groove 204 and fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the movable block 203; The pressure relief pipe 201 has a T-shaped structure, and the dimension of the side of the pressure relief pipe 201 near the feed cover 102 is larger than the dimension of the side of the pressure relief pipe 201 away from the feed cover 102. A purification component 5 is provided in the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201 to facilitate the pressure relief effect of the automatic tank 101; The wedge groove 204 has a spiral structure, and the spiral spacing dimension of the wedge groove 204 is larger than the inner diameter dimension of the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201 to ensure the stability of the fixed column 205 sliding in the wedge groove 204;

[0039] The rotating assembly 3 includes a rotating groove 301 and a rotating block 302; the movable block 203 has a rotating groove 301 on the side near the spring A202; the rotating block 302 is rotatably inserted into the rotating groove 301 and fixedly connected to the other end of the spring A202; the rotating block 302 has a ring structure and the longitudinal section of the rotating block 302 is a right trapezoidal structure with a smaller upper section and a larger lower section, so as to restrict the position of the rotating block 302.

[0040] This invention, by setting up a pressure relief component 2 and a rotating component 3, allows the feed cover 102 to be opened via a hinge, and the processed medicinal and food beverage raw materials to be added into the tank 101. After the feed cover 102 is closed and the tank is left to stand for a period of time, the gas produced by the respiration of microorganisms in the tank 101 will increase the air pressure inside the tank 101. This air pressure will compress the movable block 203, causing it to slide upwards within the vertical tube of the pressure relief pipe 201. This will cause the fixed column 205 to slide within the wedge-shaped groove 204, causing the spring A202 to contract under force. Since the wedge-shaped groove 204 has a spiral structure, the movable block 203 will rotate within the vertical tube of the pressure relief pipe 201. Under the torque of the spring A202, the rotating block 302 will rotate within the rotating groove 301 until the movable block 203 rotates. There is a gap between the movable block 203 and the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201. At this time, the gas in the tank 101 will enter the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201 through the gap between the movable block 203 and the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201, and will be discharged after being purified by the purification component 5. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has a reasonable structural design. Through mechanized design, it can not only automatically realize the gas pressure discharge, but also extend the service life of the constant temperature fermentation tank body 1. Furthermore, through the spiral movement of the movable block 203, not only can the thermal stress be dispersed by periodic rotation during pressure relief, avoiding fatigue of the material of the movable block 203 itself caused by single-point high temperature, but it can also extend the sliding time of the movable block 203, thereby reducing the elastic force of the spring A202 and preventing the movable block 203 from returning to its position too quickly and causing damage.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the sealing assembly 4 includes a fixing ring 401, a sealing ring 402, a sealing groove 403, and a guide ring 404; the fixing ring 401 is fixedly welded to the inner wall of the vertical pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201; the sealing ring 402 is fixedly welded to the side of the movable block 203 away from the spring A202; a sealing groove 403 is formed on the side of the fixing ring 401 near the sealing ring 402; the guide ring 404 is fixedly welded to the side of the fixing ring 401 away from the sealing ring 402; the longitudinal section of the sealing ring 402 gradually decreases in size from the inside to the outside, and the shape of the sealing ring 402 is adapted to the shape of the sealing groove 403; the longitudinal section of the guide ring 404 is a right-angled triangular structure, and the top surface size of the guide ring 404 is adapted to the bottom surface size of the fixing ring 401.

[0042] By setting a sealing component 4, when the movable block 203 slides upward in the vertical pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201, the sealing ring 402 and the sealing groove 403 will no longer be in contact. Since the longitudinal section of the sealing ring 402 gradually decreases in size from the inside to the outside, the sealing performance between the sealing ring 402 and the sealing groove 403 can be improved by extending the contact area between the sealing ring 402 and the sealing groove 403. Furthermore, since the longitudinal section of the guide ring 404 is a right-angled triangular structure, the guide ring 404 can guide the gas in the tank 101 so that it can pass smoothly through the fixed ring 401 and push the movable block 203.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the purification component 5 includes a connecting groove 501, a connecting block 502, an activated carbon hopper 503, a guide groove 504, a guide block 505, a receiving groove 506, a reinforcing groove 507, a spring B508, and a reinforcing block 509; the connecting groove 501 is provided on the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201; the connecting block 502 is inserted into the connecting groove 501; the activated carbon hopper 503 is connected to the connecting block 502 through a sliding component 6, and the activated carbon hopper 503 has an internally hollow mesh-like disc structure to facilitate the flow of gas through the activated carbon hopper 503; the connecting block 502 has a semi-arc structure, and the center of the connecting block 502 and the center of the activated carbon hopper 503 are located on the axis of the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201; the inner walls of the connecting groove 501 are symmetrical on both sides. Two guide grooves 504 are provided; two guide blocks 505 are symmetrically fixedly welded to both sides of the connecting block 502, and the guide blocks 505 slide in the guide grooves 504. The bottom surface of the guide blocks 505 has a V-shaped structure to facilitate the guide blocks 505 sliding into the guide grooves 504; a receiving groove 506 is provided on the side of the guide blocks 505 away from the connecting block 502; a reinforcing groove 507 is provided in the guide grooves 504; one end of the spring B508 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 506; a reinforcing block 509 slides through the receiving groove 506 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring B508, and the reinforcing block 509 is engaged with the reinforcing groove 507; the reinforcing block 509 has a frustum-shaped structure, and the inclined surface of the reinforcing block 509 contacts the inner wall of the receiving groove 506.

[0044] The sliding component 6 includes a sliding groove 601 and a sliding block 602; the sliding groove 601 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the connecting block 502; the sliding block 602 slides through the sliding groove 601 and is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the activated carbon hopper 503; the sliding block 602 has an arc-shaped structure and the cross-section of the sliding block 602 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure with a smaller inner diameter and a larger outer diameter, so that the activated carbon hopper 503 can be installed on the connecting block 502; when the end face of the connecting block 502 contacts the inner sidewall of the connecting groove 501, the reinforcing block 509 engages with the reinforcing groove 507.

[0045] This invention, by setting up a purification component 5 and a sliding component 6, allows the connecting block 502 to slide upward within the connecting groove 501 by pulling the handle on the connecting block 502. This causes the guide block 505 to slide upward within the guide groove 504, and the inclined surface of the reinforcing block 509 to press against the inner wall of the reinforcing groove 507. The reinforcing block 509 then slides within the receiving groove 506, causing the spring B508 to contract under force until the end of the reinforcing block 509 contacts the inner wall of the guide groove 504. At this point, the spring B508 stops contracting until the activated carbon hopper 503 moves out of the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201. Then, by rotating the activated carbon hopper 503, the sliding block 602 slides within the sliding groove 601 until it slides out of the sliding groove 601. At this point, the activated carbon in the activated carbon hopper 503 can be replaced.

[0046] In addition, the present invention also relates to a fermentation process for polysaccharide content in medicinal and edible beverages, including the following steps:

[0047] Step 1: Open the feed cover 102 through the hinge, add the processed medicinal and food beverage raw materials into the tank 101, and then close the feed cover 102.

[0048] Step 2: After a period of time, the yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and bifidobacteria will secrete cellulase and pectinase during the fermentation process, which can cut open the plant cell walls and release the encapsulated polysaccharide components.

[0049] Step 3: Microorganisms will convert large polysaccharide molecules into smaller molecules that are more easily absorbed through enzymatic hydrolysis;

[0050] Step 4: After fermentation is complete, open the valve on the discharge pipe 103 to allow the fermented medicinal and food beverage raw materials in the tank 101 to be discharged from the discharge pipe 103.

[0051] The constant temperature fermentation tank body 1 is a conventional instrument. Its working principle, size and model are not related to the problem solved by this application, so they will not be described in detail. The control method of this invention is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0052] Working principle of this invention: In use, firstly, the feed cover 102 is opened via the hinge, and the processed medicinal and food beverage raw materials are added into the tank 101. After closing the feed cover 102, after a period of time, the gas produced by the respiration of microorganisms in the tank 101 will increase the air pressure inside the tank 101. This air pressure will compress the movable block 203, causing the movable block 203 to drive the sealing ring 402 to slide upwards in the vertical pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201. This will prevent the sealing ring 402 from contacting the sealing groove 403, causing the fixed column 205 to slide in the wedge groove 204. This will cause the spring A202 to contract under force. Since the wedge groove 204 has a spiral structure, it will cause the movable block 203 to slide upwards in the vertical pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201. Rotation occurs inside the pipe. Under the torque of spring A202, the rotating block 302 rotates in the rotating groove 301 until a gap exists between the movable block 203 and the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201. At this time, the gas in the tank 101 enters the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201 through the gap between the movable block 203 and the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201. Furthermore, since the longitudinal section of the guide ring 404 is a right-angled triangular structure, the guide ring 404 can guide the gas in the tank 101, allowing it to pass smoothly through the fixed ring 401 and push the movable block 203. The gas entering the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201 passes through the activated carbon hopper 503, allowing the harmful gases to be purified by the activated carbon in the activated carbon hopper 503. After chemical treatment, the activated carbon is discharged. When it is necessary to replace the activated carbon in the activated carbon hopper 503, by pulling the handle on the connecting block 502, the connecting block 502 slides upward in the connecting groove 501, causing the guide block 505 to slide upward in the guide groove 504, causing the inclined surface of the reinforcing block 509 to press against the inner wall of the reinforcing groove 507, causing the reinforcing block 509 to slide in the receiving groove 506, causing the spring B508 to contract under force until the end of the reinforcing block 509 contacts the inner wall of the guide groove 504. At this time, the spring B508 no longer contracts until the activated carbon hopper 503 moves out of the horizontal pipe of the pressure relief pipe 201. At this time, the activated carbon hopper 503 is rotated, causing the sliding block 602 to slide in the sliding groove 601 until the sliding block 602 slides out of the sliding groove. Inside 601, the activated carbon in the activated carbon hopper 503 can be replaced. After refilling with activated carbon, the activated carbon hopper 503 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the sliding block 602 to slide in the sliding groove 601 until the side of the sliding block 602 contacts the inner wall of the sliding groove 601. At this time, the connecting block 502 is inserted into the connecting groove 501, and the guide block 505 slides downward in the guide groove 504, causing the inclined surface of the reinforcing block 509 to press against the opening of the guide groove 504 until the end face of the connecting block 502 contacts the inner wall of the connecting groove 501. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring B508, the reinforcing block 509 will engage with the reinforcing groove 507, making the position of the connecting block 502 in the connecting groove 501 more stable.
