Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of probiotic fermentation, in particular to a temperature control fermentation system and process for probiotic fermentation of a medicinal and edible Chinese medicinal composition. BACKGROUND

[0002] Medicinal and edible Chinese medicinal herbs are both medicinal and food herbs, such as hawthorn, Chinese yam, sago palm, tuckahoe, jujube, Chinese wolfberry, mulberry, ginger, licorice, longan meat, orange peel, etc. They are mild and safe, and have both nutritional and conditioning functions. The effective components in Chinese medicine are often wrapped by cell walls or exist in the form of macromolecules, which are difficult to be directly absorbed by the human body. Probiotics can secrete active enzymes such as cellulase and protease during fermentation, which can crack plant cell walls and reduce the wrapping effect of polysaccharides on effective components, thereby releasing more active substances such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and glycosides for human body absorption. Therefore, it is necessary to grind the medicinal and edible Chinese medicinal composition and then ferment it by adding probiotics.

[0003] For example, the publication number "CN106399086A" "A constant temperature and pressure edible mushroom fermentation tank" has automatic temperature and pressure adjusting function through the fermentation tank, and the fermentation product is stable in all aspects.

[0004] During the fermentation process of Chinese medicinal decoction pieces, the raw materials are usually stored in a stacked form. However, this stacking method can cause heat generated by microbial metabolism to accumulate at the bottom, which is difficult to effectively dissipate. If the stacking is too tight, the temperature of the raw materials located in the middle and inside can be increased to exceed the optimal range for the growth of the bacterial strain, thereby affecting the effect and quality of constant temperature fermentation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Embodiment: Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The present application provides a technical solution: a temperature control fermentation system for a probiotic fermented medicine and food dual-purpose traditional Chinese medicine composition, comprising a fermentation tank body 1, a feed pipe 2 is fixedly inserted at the top of the fermentation tank body 1, a discharge pipe 3 is fixedly inserted at the bottom of the fermentation tank body 1, an electromagnetic valve is installed inside the discharge pipe 3, when the material needs to be discharged, the fermented medicinal materials can be discharged by controlling the electromagnetic valve to open, the temperature control fermentation system further comprises a stirring assembly 4 arranged inside and on the top of the fermentation tank body 1, the stirring assembly 4 comprises a motor 41 fixedly connected at the middle position on the top of the fermentation tank body 1, the output shaft of the motor 41 penetrates through the fermentation tank body 1 and is fixedly connected with a mounting sleeve 42, a rotating rod 43 is slidingly connected inside the mounting sleeve 42, the outer wall of the rotating rod 43 is provided with a stirring part 44, the stirring part 44 is provided with multiple groups, the stirring part 44 comprises a stirring pipe 441 fixedly inserted on the outer wall of the rotating rod 43, and each group of stirring part 44 is provided with two stirring pipes 441, the inside of the stirring pipe 441 and the inside of the rotating rod 43 are both filled with heat conducting medium, two connecting pipes 46 are fixedly connected at the both sides of the bottom of the fermentation tank body 1, a heat transfer sleeve 45 is fixedly connected between the two connecting pipes 46, the rotating rod 43 penetrates through the inside of the heat transfer sleeve 45, the heat transfer sleeve 45 and the position of the rotating rod 43 close to the heat transfer sleeve 45 are both made of copper material with strong heat conductivity, the top of the heat transfer sleeve 45 and the bottom of the rotating rod 43 are both provided with chamfers, the rotating plate 443 and the stirring pipe 441 are both made of copper material with strong heat conductivity, the stirring part 44 further comprises a rotating pipe 442 rotationally connected at the side close to the two stirring pipes 441, the side close to the two rotating pipes 442 is fixedly connected with a rotating plate 443.

[0022] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the medicinal and edible traditional Chinese medicine composition needs to be fermented, the medicinal materials need to be crushed first, and the crushed materials are added with probiotics from the feeding pipe 2 into the inside of the fermentation tank body 1, and then constant temperature fermentation is carried out. The inside of the fermentation tank body 1 is provided with a temperature control assembly. The temperature is detected by the temperature sensor, and the temperature in the inside of the fermentation tank body 1 is controlled to 37 degrees Celsius. The temperature control of the fermentation tank body 1 is a mature prior art, and will not be described in detail.

[0023] When fermentation is carried out, the output shaft of the motor 41 rotates to make the mounting sleeve 42 rotate with the rotating rod 43, so that the rotating rod 43 rotates with the stirring part 44. This design can make the stirring part 44 agitate the medicinal materials in the inside of the fermentation tank body 1. The agitation can break the local high temperature area, so that the heat is uniformly distributed, and the growth of microorganisms is inhibited or the destruction of beneficial components is avoided due to the local high temperature. A more suitable and relatively uniform temperature growth environment is created for microorganisms, reducing the influence of constant temperature fermentation effect and quality.

[0024] At the same time, when agitating, warm water with a temperature of 37 to 40 degrees Celsius is added to the inside of the connecting pipe 46 and the heat transfer sleeve 45, so as to exchange heat with the medium in the inside of the rotating rod 43. In this way, the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating plate 443 can exchange heat with the inside of the medicinal materials when agitating the medicinal materials, reducing the situation that the temperature of the materials located in the middle inside is too high to exceed the best range of strain growth due to too tight stacking, thereby reducing the influence of constant temperature fermentation effect and quality.

[0025] It should be noted that the fermentation tank body 1 can be formed by flange mounting of the upper and lower two parts. When the fermentation tank body 1 is installed, the bottom of the rotating rod 43 is inserted into the inside of the heat transfer sleeve 45. The heat transfer sleeve 45 can also play a limiting role for the rotating rod 43, thereby facilitating the stability of the rotating rod 43 and the stirring part 44 when rotating.

[0026] The inside of the fermentation tank body 1 is provided with a driving assembly 5 for controlling the up and down movement of the rotating rod 43. The driving assembly 5 includes ear plates 51 fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the rotating rod 43. The end of the ear plate 51 away from the rotating rod 43 is fixedly connected with a limiting ring 52. The bottom of the limiting ring 52 is inclinedly arranged.

The first spring 53 is fixedly connected between the inside of the mounting sleeve 42 and the rotating rod 43. The inside top of the fermentation tank body 1 is fixedly connected with a bent frame 54. The bent frame 54 is rotatably connected with the ball bearing 55 for reducing the friction of movement at the inclined position close to the limiting ring 52.

[0027] By adopting the above technical scheme, while rotating through the rotating rod 43 and the stirring part 44, since the rotating rod 43 can rotate with the lug plate 51 and the limiting ring 52, under the elastic force of the first spring 53, the inclined surface of the limiting ring 52 can always fit the ball 55, when the lower part of the inclined surface of the limiting ring 52 moves close to the ball 55, the lug plate 51 and the limiting ring 52 move upward with the rotating rod 43, when the higher part of the inclined surface of the limiting ring 52 moves close to the ball 55, the lug plate 51 and the limiting ring 52 move downward with the rotating rod 43, such a design can make the rotating rod 43 continuously move up and down with the stirring part 44, which is beneficial to expand the stirring range of the stirring part 44, on the one hand, improves the uniformity of stirring, on the other hand, is beneficial to heat exchange between the stirring pipe 441, the rotating plate 443 and the medicinal materials, further improves the uniformity of the temperature of the medicinal materials, and reduces the influence of the constant temperature fermentation effect and quality.

[0028] The outer wall of the rack plate 61 is fixedly connected with a push plate 7, the inside of the push plate 7 is provided with a hollow groove 8, the push plate 7 is provided with a blocking plate 12 on the side away from the rotating rod 43, the side surface of the blocking plate 12 is fixedly connected with a moving frame 13, and the moving frame 13 is slidingly connected with the push plate 7.

[0029] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the rack plate 61 moves away from the long rod 10, the medium in the stirring pipe 441 can be pushed, and the flow of the medium is facilitated, when the rack plate 61 moves close to the long rod 10, under the pressure of the medium, the blocking plate 12 does not block the hollow groove 8, and part of the medium flows through the hollow groove 8, so that when the rack plate 61 reciprocates, the medium as a whole flows in one direction.

[0030] The inside top of the mounting sleeve 42 is fixedly connected with the long rod 10, the mounting sleeve 42 is provided with an O-shaped sealing ring close to the long rod 10, which is beneficial to improve the sealing performance of the place, the outer wall bottom of the long rod 10 is provided with the stirring plate 9 which extends into the inside linear array of the rotating rod 43, and the outer wall of the long rod 10 is movably connected with the top of the rotating rod 43.

[0031] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the rotating rod 43 continuously moves up and down with the stirring part 44, since the long rod 10 is fixed with the mounting sleeve 42, at this time, relative motion is generated between the long rod 10 and the stirring plate 9, so that the stirring plate 9 can stir and mix the medium in the rotating rod 43, which is beneficial to the uniformity of the temperature of the medium in the rotating rod 43.

[0032] The inside of the stirring pipe 441 at the top in the single stirring part 44 is internally provided with a transmission assembly 6, the transmission assembly 6 comprises a mounting plate 65 fixedly connected inside the stirring pipe 441, the inside of the mounting plate 65 is slidably connected with a rack plate 61, the rack plate 61 is fixedly connected with an inclined plate 62 near the long rod 10, the top of the inclined plate 62 is obliquely arranged, the long rod 10 is fixedly connected with a limiting frame 63 near the inclined plate 62, the limiting frame 63 is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 64 for reducing the friction of movement near the inclined part of the inclined plate 62, the outer wall of the rack plate 61 is fixedly connected with a translation plate 66, the translation plate 66 and the mounting plate 65 are fixedly connected with a second spring 67, the inside of the rotating pipe 442 at the top is fixedly connected with a small frame 68, the top of the small frame 68 is fixedly connected with a gear 69, and the outside of the gear 69 is engaged with the rack plate 61.

[0033] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the relative motion between the long rod 10 and the stirring plate 9 occurs, the relative motion between the inclined plate 62 and the limiting frame 63 occurs, and when the rotating shaft 64 at the limiting frame 63 moves downward to extrude the inclined plate 62, the inclined plate 62 can move away from the long rod 10 in the direction of the rack plate 61 against the elastic force of the second spring 67, and when the rotating shaft 64 at the limiting frame 63 moves upward, the rack plate 61 can move in the direction of the long rod 10 with the inclined plate 62 under the elastic force of the second spring 67, so that the rack plate 61 can reciprocate along the left-right direction.

[0034] When the rack plate 61 reciprocates along the left-right direction, the gear 69 can rotate with the small frame 68 and the rotating pipe 442 under the engagement of the outside of the gear 69 with the rack plate 61, so that the rotating pipe 442 can rotate with the rotating plate 443 around the axis of the rotating pipe 442, which further improves the uniformity of the stirring of the medicinal materials and further facilitates the uniformity of the temperature of the medicinal materials and improves the fermentation effect.

[0035] It should be noted that the range of reciprocating rotation of the rotating plate 443 is limited, and a flexible and elastic rubber film is fixed between the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating pipe 442 to prevent leakage of the medium.

[0036] The inner walls of the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating plate 443 are fixedly connected with the partition plate 11, and the inner walls of the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating plate 443 are partitioned by the partition plate 11 into medium flow channels.

[0037] By adopting the above technical scheme, such design is beneficial to reducing the liquid medium retention when the liquid medium flows, and the medium inside the rotating rod 43 can enter various positions inside the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating plate 443, so as to further facilitate the uniformity of the temperature of the medicinal materials when the medicinal materials are heat-exchanged by the stirring of the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating plate 443, thereby further facilitating the uniformity of the temperature of the medicinal materials and reducing the influence on the constant-temperature fermentation effect and quality.

[0038] The process of the probiotic fermented medicinal and edible traditional Chinese medicine composition comprises the following steps: S1, placing, first, the medicinal materials need to be crushed, and the crushed materials are added with probiotics from the feeding pipe 2 into the inside of the fermentation tank body 1; S2, fermentation, the inside of the fermentation tank body 1 is configured with a temperature control assembly, the temperature is monitored by configuring a temperature sensor, and the temperature inside the fermentation tank body 1 is controlled to be 37 degrees Celsius, and the raw materials are fermented inside the fermentation tank body 1.

[0039] Working principle: the output shaft of the motor 41 rotates, which can make the mounting sleeve 42 rotate with the rotating rod 43, so that the rotating rod 43 rotates with the stirring part 44, which can make the stirring part 44 stir the medicinal materials in the inside of the fermentation tank body 1, the stirring can break the local high temperature area, and the heat is evenly distributed, which avoids inhibiting the growth of microorganisms or causing damage to beneficial ingredients due to local high temperature, and creates a more suitable and relatively uniform temperature growth environment for microorganisms, warm water with a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius is added to the inside of the connecting pipe 46 and the heat transfer sleeve 45, so as to exchange heat with the medium in the inside of the rotating rod 43, so that the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating plate 443 can exchange heat with the inside of the medicinal materials when stirring the medicinal materials, reducing the situation that the temperature of the raw materials located in the middle inside is too high due to too tight stacking, which exceeds the best range of strain growth.

[0040] When the rotating rod 43 and the stirring part 44 rotate, the rotating rod 43 can rotate with the lug plate 51 and the limiting ring 52, and under the elastic force of the first spring 53, the inclined surface of the limiting ring 52 can always fit the ball 55, and as the limiting ring 52 rotates, when the lower part of the inclined surface of the limiting ring 52 moves close to the ball 55, the lug plate 51 and the limiting ring 52 move upward with the rotating rod 43, and when the higher part of the inclined surface of the limiting ring 52 moves close to the ball 55, the lug plate 51 and the limiting ring 52 move downward with the rotating rod 43, which can make the rotating rod 43 continuously move up and down with the stirring part 44, which is beneficial to expand the stirring range of the stirring part 44, on the one hand, improving the uniformity of stirring, and on the other hand, facilitating the heat exchange between the stirring pipe 441 and the rotating plate 443 and the medicinal materials everywhere, and further facilitating the uniformity of the temperature of the medicinal materials.
