Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of fermentation temperature change curing, in particular to a temperature change curing system and method of a medicinal and edible fermentation product. BACKGROUND

[0003] The temperature change curing system of a medicinal and edible fermentation product is a special technical equipment system for realizing product quality optimization through programmed temperature regulation and environmental parameter coordinated control after fermentation of medicinal and edible raw materials (such as red beans, garlic, etc.). According to the transformation law of active ingredients in the fermentation product, the texture improvement demand and the flavor formation characteristics, a multi-stage, gradient temperature change curve is set, and the dynamic adjustment of humidity, pressure and other auxiliary parameters is matched, on the basis of ensuring the retention of raw material nutrition, accelerating the degradation of macromolecular substances, the generation of flavor substances and the homogenization of texture, and finally improving the edible value, nutritional activity and storage stability of the product.

[0004] Referring to Chinese patent classification number CN111269796A, a constant temperature type biological fermentation device includes a biological fermentation box body, the bottom end of the biological fermentation box body is fixedly connected with a fermentation box base, four groups of shock-absorbing rubber pads are symmetrically installed at the bottom corners of the fermentation box base, a variable frequency motor is fixedly installed at the bottom center of the fermentation box base, a fermentation box controller is fixedly installed at the upper end of the fermentation box base on the bottom end of one side wall of the biological fermentation box body, a first feeding valve is installed on one side wall of the biological fermentation box body, a second feeding valve is installed on the outer side wall of the biological fermentation box body and the upper end of the first feeding valve, and a fermentation box top cover is fixedly connected to the top upper end of the biological fermentation box body. The automatic constant temperature type biological fermentation device has a simple and reasonable structure, saves time and effort, has rich functions, and can effectively perform constant temperature fermentation on the inside of the biological fermentation box body.

[0005] The fermentation product contains protein, polysaccharide and other surface active substances, and the molecular motion is intensified during temperature change, which is easy to form stable foam. The stirring and aeration operation during curing will cause air to be mixed into the material and combine with the surface active substances to form foam. Part of the fermentation product still has slight metabolic activity during the curing stage, producing a small amount of gas such as carbon dioxide, which further promotes the formation of foam. The foam will hinder temperature conduction, causing uneven heating of the material in some areas, affecting the consistency of the curing, and a large amount of foam will overflow the equipment, causing material waste and also polluting the surface of the equipment, increasing the difficulty of cleaning. The foam layer is easy to breed bacteria, causing the product to deteriorate; at the same time, it may cause abnormal pressure of the equipment, which poses a safety hazard. SUMMARY

[0046] The follow-up liquid outlet device 4 comprises a fixed box, the fixed box is fixedly connected with the top wall of the kettle body 11 through a connecting block 8, the bottom of the fixed box is connected with the top of a liquid storage box 41, one corner of the bottom of the liquid storage box 41 is provided with an outlet opening 64, a sealing piece 45 is arranged above the outlet opening 64, the sealing piece 45 is used for sealing the outlet opening 64, the top of the sealing piece 45 is connected with a movable rod 43, the top of the movable rod 43 is fixedly connected with the top wall of the fixed box through a spring 44, the outlet opening 64 is connected with a liquid equalizing plate 46 through a liquid inlet pipe 49, the liquid equalizing plate 46 is provided with a liquid distribution cavity 47, and the bottom of the liquid equalizing plate 46 is provided with a bottom strip 48, the top of the bottom strip 48 is connected with the liquid distribution cavity 47.

[0047] The movable rod 43 is a U-shaped rod, one end of the movable rod 43 is connected with the sealing piece 45, the other end of the movable rod 43 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the liquid storage box 41 through the bottom wall of the liquid storage box 41, the end of the movable rod 43 extending out of the liquid storage box 41 is arranged directly above a limiting cylinder 39, and the limiting cylinder 39 is matched with the movable rod 43.

[0048] The liquid equalizing plate 46 is a hollow circular truncated cone plate, and the diameter of the liquid equalizing plate 46 is greater than that of the inner tube 32.

[0049] The temperature change curing method of a medicinal and edible fermentation product is applied to a temperature change curing system of a medicinal and edible fermentation product. The circular table box moves along the vertical direction with the extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 21. The circular table box sequentially passes through the first position, the second position, the third position, and the fourth position from top to bottom in the vertical direction. When the circular table box is lowered to the lowest fourth position, the bubbles in the liquid enter the bubble collection chamber 61. After the bubble collection is completed, the circular table box is raised to the third position. The filter hole 36 is in communication with the bubble collection chamber 61. The filter hole 36 separates the bubbles in the bubble collection chamber 61 from the liquid. The liquid slides along the inner wall of the kettle body 11. The circular table box is raised to the first position at the highest point. The top of the upper circular table plate 33 extrudes the movable rod 43. The spring 44 is compressed. The movable rod 43 is raised. The sealing piece 45 no longer seals the liquid outlet 64. The defoaming liquid in the liquid storage box 41 falls into the liquid distribution plate 46 in turn. The defoaming liquid in the liquid distribution plate 46 is uniformly dispersed in the circumferential direction and then falls into the bubble collection chamber 61. The circular table box is lowered to the second position. The fixed plate 38 seals the filter hole 36. The defoaming liquid reacts with the bubbles in the bubble collection chamber 61.

[0050] When in use, the camera 5 continuously shoots the liquid surface picture in the kettle body 11 after the curing starts at a speed of 15-30 frames per second. The lens anti-fog coating and the blowing device work synchronously to avoid the steam and the material from adhering to and shielding the lens. The shot image is transmitted to the control system in real time through the waterproof data line. The data is kept without delay during the process to ensure the timeliness of the monitoring. The system automatically frames the main bubble generation area in the picture and preferentially collects the image of the area. The non-key areas such as the side wall of the kettle body 11 and the edge of the liquid surface are filtered. The system compares the real-time picture with the reference picture to extract the typical bubble characteristics such as the gray scale mutation point, the irregular dynamic contour, and the flickering bright spot. The non-bubble signal is shielded through the algorithm. The extracted suspected bubble characteristics are compared between frames. If the characteristics present the dynamic track of generation, floating, deformation, and rupture and meet the preset contour area (≥0.1 mm²) and gray scale difference (≥30) standards, the characteristics are determined as effective bubbles. The system real-time statistics the bubble density and the proportion of the liquid surface area and synchronously displays the data on the screen to form the quantitative index. When the proportion of the bubble amount is greater than or equal to 2%, a warning is given to prepare for collecting the bubbles.

[0051] The hydraulic cylinder 21 is started, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 21 is lowered to the lowest point with the circular table box through the piston rod 22. In the process of lowering, the bottom of the lower circular table plate 31 contacts and sinks into the liquid surface. When the lower circular table plate 31 is close to the liquid surface, the large annular edge thereof forms a baffle to avoid the escape of bubbles to the surrounding. The smooth edge of the lower circular table plate 31 will not scratch the bubbles, but will hold the bubbles by means of the liquid surface tension. Especially for the bubbles in viscous materials, the slight contact of the lower circular table plate 31 with the liquid surface will form a local pressure difference, which further guides the bubbles to gather to the center of the circular table. Since the circular table box is in the form of an inverted circular table structure, the large mouth of the lower circular table plate 31 is contracted to the small mouth toward the center, forming a wide-in and narrow-out channel. The trapped bubbles continue to float upward under the action of buoyancy, and the tapered side plate 35 of the circular table box generates a centripetal guiding force, forcing the dispersed bubbles to move along the inner wall of the side plate 35 to the small mouth in the center, similar to the principle of a funnel collecting water, the bubbles gradually converge during the movement, avoiding the escape of individual bubbles. The bubbles converged to the small mouth enter the inner tube 32 of the upper circular table plate 33 into the bubble collecting cavity 61 surrounded by the lower and upper circular table plates 31 and the side plate 35. After the bubbles enter, due to the absence of violent liquid flow disturbance in the cavity, the bubbles will slowly float and gather in the cavity, and part of the small bubbles will merge into larger bubbles, facilitating subsequent unified treatment. The inner wall of the bubble collecting cavity 61 is coated with food-grade PTFE to reduce the adhesion of materials and bubbles and avoid residual pollution.

[0052] When the temperature change curing enters the bubble high-occurrence stage, a large number of bubbles escape from the liquid surface, converge through the large mouth of the lower circular table plate 31, and are guided along the side plate 35 to the small mouth of the upper circular table plate 33. When the amount of bubbles collected in a short time is too much, part of the bubbles will overflow to the top of the upper circular table plate 33 without having time to enter the bubble collecting cavity 61 through the small mouth. At this time, the large mouth of the inverted funnel-shaped outward expansion plate 34 plays an intercepting role, and by virtue of the converging effect of the funnel-shaped structure, the overflowing bubbles are quickly held, avoiding their diffusion and escape to the inside of the kettle body 11. The bubbles intercepted by the outward expansion plate 34 are temporarily stored in the buffer cavity inside the outward expansion plate 34. The volume of the buffer cavity is designed to be 1 / 3 of the volume of the bubble collecting cavity 61, and can temporarily store 1.5-2 times the instantaneous capacity of the bubble collecting cavity 61, effectively relieving the bubble congestion problem and freeing up space for the bubble collecting cavity 61.

[0053] After the bubble collection is completed, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 21 is raised to the third position with the circular table box, the fixed plate 38 is fixedly connected with the top wall of the kettle body 11, the fixed plate 38 is relatively stationary with the kettle body 11, the insertion hole 37 slides with the fixed plate 38, the middle part of the fixed plate 38 is opposite to the insertion hole 37, the insertion hole 37 is connected with the bubble collecting cavity 61 through the window 63. The bubbles in the bubble collecting cavity 61 can flow out through the filter hole 36, and the bubbles and the liquid are separated through the filter hole 36. Since the circular table box is slidably connected with the inner wall of the kettle body 11, the separated liquid slowly slides down along the inner wall of the kettle body 11, reducing the liquid surface fluctuation.

[0054] The circular box is moved to the first position at the highest point, one end of the movable rod 43 enters the limiting cylinder 39, the top of the upper circular plate 33 extrudes the movable rod 43, the spring 44 is compressed, the top of the movable rod 43 is moved to the fixed box, the sealing piece 45 no longer seals the liquid outlet 64, the defoaming liquid in the liquid storage box 41 flows to the liquid distribution plate 46 through the liquid outlet 64 and the liquid inlet pipe 49, after 1-2 seconds of liquid outlet of the liquid outlet 64, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 21 immediately moves the circular box to the second position, the top of the upper circular plate 33 does not extrude the movable rod 43, the spring 44 is restored, the sealing piece 45 abuts against the bottom wall of the liquid storage box 41 and seals the liquid outlet 64, so that the liquid outlet is not too much and the liquid outlet amount is controlled.

[0055] The defoaming liquid in the liquid distribution plate 46 is uniformly dispersed in the circumferential direction and then falls into the bubble collecting cavity 61, the circular box is moved to the second position, the fixed plate 38 seals the filter hole 36, the defoaming liquid reacts with the bubbles in the bubble collecting cavity 61, and defoaming is completed. The circular box is moved to the third position to discharge the defoamed liquid.
