Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food fermentation technology, and more specifically to a food fermentation equipment and fermentation method. Background Technology

[0002] Fermented foods refer to a class of foods processed using beneficial microorganisms. Fermented foods have a unique flavor and have become an important branch of the food industry. Broadly speaking, any food produced using microorganisms can be called a fermented food. Functional fermented foods mainly utilize advanced biotechnology to produce substances with certain physiological activities that can regulate the body's physiological functions. Because microorganisms participate in the food processing, fermented foods can form certain specific nutritional factors, such as glutamine providing energy for the small intestinal mucosa, short-chain fatty acids providing energy for the colonic mucosa, as well as linoleic acid and arginine. However, current fermentation technologies cannot quickly change the fermentation environment when fermenting food raw materials, which may lead to low fermentation quality and effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food fermentation equipment and fermentation method. This system can quickly change the fermentation environment and further improve the fermentation quality of food raw materials.

[0004] A food fermentation device includes two supporting vertical plates and a feeding horizontal pipe rotatably connected to the two supporting vertical plates. A fermentation tank is fixedly connected between the two feeding horizontal pipes. Discharge pipes with valves are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the fermentation tank. Two sensors are fixedly connected to the fermentation tank. Transmission gears are fixedly connected to both feeding horizontal pipes.

[0005] Furthermore, each of the two support vertical plates is fixedly connected to an end-fixed straight plate, and a fixed support crossbar is fixedly connected between the two end-fixed straight plates. The fixed support crossbar passes through the fermentation tank, and a horizontal fixed stirring plate is fixedly connected to the fixed support crossbar. The horizontal fixed stirring plate is located inside the fermentation tank.

[0006] Furthermore, each of the two feed horizontal pipes is slidably connected to a feeding straight pipe, and the two feeding straight pipes are slidably connected to both ends of the fixed support horizontal bar.

[0007] Furthermore, both feeding straight pipes are fixedly connected with enlarged conical openings.

[0008] Furthermore, both of the feeding straight pipes are equipped with pressure relief holes.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the two support vertical plates is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod I, and the two telescopic rods I are respectively fixedly connected to two feeding straight pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, a reduction motor is fixedly connected to each of the two support vertical plates, and a main rotating gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of each of the two reduction motors. The two main rotating gears are respectively meshed with two transmission gears for transmission connection.

[0011] Furthermore, a supporting slide cavity is slidably connected to the two supporting vertical plates, and two heating curved plates are fixedly connected to the supporting slide cavity. Two telescopic rods II are fixedly connected inside the supporting slide cavity, and the two telescopic rods II are respectively fixedly connected to the two supporting vertical plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the supporting sliding cavity is fixedly connected to the bottom support horizontal plate, and the bottom support horizontal plate is provided with multiple anchor bolt holes.

[0013] Furthermore, the fermentation method of the aforementioned food fermentation equipment includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Place the food ingredients to be fermented into the fermentation tank through the two feed pipes;

[0015] Step 2: Heat the fermentation tank by rotating two feed pipes driven by two transmission gears, which in turn rotates the fermentation tank to ensure that it is heated evenly.

[0016] Step 3: While the fermentation tank is rotating, the food ingredients inside can be stirred to ensure uniform mixing.

[0017] Step 4: While the fermentation tank is rotating, two sensors are used to test the humidity and pressure inside the fermentation tank to ensure that the food raw materials inside the fermentation tank can be fermented stably.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 Detailed description: A food fermentation device includes two supporting vertical plates 101 and a feeding horizontal pipe 102 rotatably connected to the two supporting vertical plates 101 through bearing holes. A fermentation tank 103 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the two feeding horizontal pipes 102 by welding. Both the upper and lower ends of the fermentation tank 103 are fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 104 with a valve by welding. Two sensors 105 are fixedly connected to the fermentation tank 103 by a flange plate. Both feeding horizontal pipes 102 are fixedly connected to a transmission gear 106 by keyway and snap ring.

[0032] Furthermore, the two supporting vertical plates 101 serve as supporting connections, providing rotational space for the two feeding horizontal pipes 102, while the two feeding horizontal pipes 102 provide fixed space for the fermentation tank 103. Both feeding horizontal pipes 102 are connected to the fermentation tank 103, through which food ingredients are added to the fermentation tank 103 for fermentation. When the food ingredients have completed fermentation in the fermentation tank 103, they can be discharged through two discharge pipes 104 equipped with valves. One of the two sensors 105 is a pressure sensor. The sensor includes a humidity sensor. The two sensors 105 can detect the humidity and pressure of the fermented food inside the fermentation tank 103, thereby ensuring that the fermentation tank 103 is at a suitable humidity and pressure, and further accelerating the fermentation speed of the food inside the fermentation tank 103. The two transmission gears 106 can drive the two feed horizontal pipes 102 to rotate, thereby driving the fermentation tank 103 to rotate, which can ensure that the fermentation tank 103 is heated evenly. Only when the fermentation tank 103 is heated evenly can the fermentation speed of the food raw materials inside the fermentation tank 103 be guaranteed.

[0033] The food ingredients to be fermented are placed into the fermentation tank 103 through two feed pipes 102. The fermentation tank 103 is heated. Two transmission gears 106 drive the two feed pipes 102 to rotate, which in turn drives the fermentation tank 103 to rotate, ensuring that the fermentation tank 103 is heated evenly. When the fermentation tank 103 rotates, the food ingredients in the fermentation tank 103 are stirred, ensuring that the food ingredients in the fermentation tank 103 are mixed evenly. When the fermentation tank 103 rotates, two sensors 105 are used to test the humidity and pressure in the fermentation tank 103 to ensure that the food ingredients in the fermentation tank 103 are fermented stably, further improving the fermentation effect. After the food ingredients have fermented in the fermentation tank 103, the outlet of one of the discharge pipes 104 with a valve is turned downward and the valve on the discharge pipe 104 with a valve is opened. The fermented food ingredients will be discharged through the discharge pipe with a valve, completing the fermentation of the food ingredients.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 As detailed in 5-9, each of the two supporting vertical plates 101 is fixedly connected to an end-fixed straight plate 201 by welding. A fixed support crossbar 202 is fixedly connected between the two end-fixed straight plates 201 by welding. The fixed support crossbar 202 passes through the fermentation tank 103. A horizontal fixed stirring plate 203 is fixedly connected to the fixed support crossbar 202 by welding. The horizontal fixed stirring plate 203 is located inside the fermentation tank 103.

[0035] Furthermore, the two end-fixed straight plates 201 can provide a fixed space for the fixed support crossbar 202, and the fixed support crossbar 202 can provide a fixed space for the horizontal fixed stirring plate 203. Therefore, the horizontal fixed stirring plate 203 is in a fixed state. When the fermentation tank 103 rotates, it can contact the fixed horizontal fixed stirring plate 203. The horizontal fixed stirring plate 203 can be used to stir the food raw materials in the fermentation tank 103, further accelerating the mixing speed of the food raw materials in the fermentation tank 103, thereby increasing the fermentation speed of the food raw materials and reducing the fermentation cost of the food raw materials.

[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 As detailed in section 5-7, each of the two feed horizontal pipes 102 is slidably connected to a feeding straight pipe 301 via a straight cavity, and the two feeding straight pipes 301 are slidably connected to both ends of the fixed support horizontal bar 202 via square holes.

[0037] Furthermore, food ingredients are placed into two feeding horizontal tubes 102 through two feeding straight tubes 301, and the two feeding horizontal tubes 102 are slidably connected to the fixed support horizontal bar 202. The fixed support horizontal bar 202 can limit the two feeding horizontal tubes 102 to prevent them from rotating, further ensuring the uniformity of the feeding position and facilitating the addition of food ingredients into the two feeding horizontal tubes 102 through the two feeding straight tubes 301.

[0038] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-3 As detailed in 5-7, both of the aforementioned feeding straight pipes 301 are fixedly connected with enlarged conical openings 401 by welding.

[0039] Furthermore, by setting two enlarged conical inlets 401, the cross-sectional area of ​​the two feeding straight pipes 301 can be increased, making it easier to add food ingredients into the two feeding straight pipes 301. After the food ingredients are added, water is added into the two enlarged conical inlets 401. The two feeding straight pipes 301 are equipped with valves. When the humidity in the fermentation tank 103 is low, the humidity sensor 105 will transmit a signal to the valves on the two feeding straight pipes 301, and the valves on the two feeding straight pipes 301 will open. At this time, the water in the two enlarged conical inlets 401 will enter the fermentation tank 103 through the two feeding straight pipes 301, thus adjusting the humidity in the fermentation tank 103.

[0040] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-3 As detailed in 5-7, both of the feeding straight pipes 301 are provided with pressure relief holes 501.

[0041] Furthermore, since valves are installed on both feeding pipes 301, they can be sealed to prevent the high temperature inside the fermentation tank 103 from escaping. If the high temperature inside the fermentation tank 103 is released through the two feeding pipes 301, it will affect the fermentation of the food ingredients. When the pressure sensor 105 detects that the pressure inside the fermentation tank 103 is too high, it will slide the two feeding pipes 301 outward, exposing the two pressure relief holes 501. At this time, the excessive pressure inside the fermentation tank 103 will be released through the two pressure relief holes 501, thus adjusting the pressure inside the fermentation tank 103. When the pressure inside the fermentation tank 103 is normal, the two feeding pipes 301 will slide inward, resealing the two pressure relief holes 501 and resealing the fermentation tank 103, allowing the food ingredients to continue fermenting inside the fermentation tank 103.

[0042] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-3 As detailed in 5-9, each of the two supporting vertical plates 101 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod I601 via a flange plate, and the two telescopic rods I601 are respectively fixedly connected to the two feeding straight pipes 301 via flange plates.

[0043] Furthermore, activating the two telescopic rods I601 can drive the two feeding straight pipes 301 to slide, thereby changing the position of the two pressure relief holes 501. When the pressure sensor 105 detects that the pressure inside the fermentation tank 103 is too high, it will transmit a signal to the two telescopic rods I601, causing the two telescopic rods I601 to retract, thereby driving the two feeding straight pipes 301 to slide outward. At this time, the two pressure relief holes 501 will be exposed, realizing the release of pressure inside the fermentation tank 103. When the pressure inside the fermentation tank 103 returns to normal, the two telescopic rods I601 will extend, realizing the re-sealing of the two pressure relief holes 501.

[0044] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 , 2 As detailed in section 8, both of the two support vertical plates 101 are fixedly connected to a reduction motor 701 via flange plates. The output shafts of the two reduction motors 701 are fixedly connected to a main rotating gear 702 via a keyway and a snap ring. The two main rotating gears 702 are respectively meshed with and connected to two transmission gears 106.

[0045] Furthermore, after starting the two geared motors 701, they can drive the two main rotating gears 702 to rotate. When the two main rotating gears 702 rotate, they can drive the two transmission gears 106 to rotate. Finally, through the two feed horizontal pipes 102, the fermentation tank 103 is driven to rotate, thereby realizing the stirring and uniform heating of the food raw materials in the fermentation tank 103.

[0046] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 , 2As detailed in 8-10, the two supporting vertical plates 101 are slidably connected to a supporting slide cavity 801 via a straight cavity. Two heating curved plates 802 are fixedly connected to the supporting slide cavity 801 by welding. Two telescopic rods II 803 are fixedly connected to the supporting slide cavity 801 via a flange plate. The two telescopic rods II 803 are respectively fixedly connected to the two supporting vertical plates 101 via flange plates.

[0047] Furthermore, the supporting cavity 801 provides sliding space for the two supporting vertical plates 101 and limits their movement, allowing them to slide only up and down. The supporting cavity 801 also provides fixed space for the two heating curved plates 802, which can be used to heat the fermentation tank 103. The two supporting vertical plates 101 can slide on the supporting cavity 801, thereby changing the distance between the two heating curved plates 802 and the fermentation tank 103, thus changing the heating effect of the fermentation tank 103. After activating the two telescopic rods II 803, the two supporting vertical plates 101 can be raised and lowered, thereby changing the height of the two supporting vertical plates 101 and ultimately changing the distance between the two heating curved plates 802 and the fermentation tank 103, thus changing the temperature at which the fermentation tank 103 is heated.

[0048] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 , 9 In detail in section 10, the supporting sliding cavity 801 is fixedly connected to the bottom support horizontal plate 901 by two bolts, and the bottom support horizontal plate 901 is provided with multiple anchor bolt holes 902.

[0049] Furthermore, the bottom support plate 901 provides a fixed space for supporting the sliding cavity 801, and the bottom support plate 901 plays a supporting and fixing role, so as to place the device stably on the ground. Multiple anchor bolts are connected to the ground through multiple anchor bolt holes 902, thereby firmly fixing the bottom support plate 901 to the ground.

[0050] The fermentation method of the food fermentation equipment includes the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: Place the food ingredients to be fermented into the fermentation tank 103 through the two feed pipes 102;

[0052] Step 2: Heat the fermentation tank 103 by rotating the two feed horizontal pipes 102 through the two transmission gears 106, which in turn rotates the fermentation tank 103, ensuring that the fermentation tank 103 is heated evenly.

[0053] Step 3: When the fermentation tank 103 is rotated, the food ingredients inside the fermentation tank 103 can be stirred to ensure that the food ingredients inside the fermentation tank 103 are evenly mixed.

[0054] Step 4: When the fermentation tank 103 is rotating, two sensors 105 are used to test the humidity and pressure inside the fermentation tank 103 to ensure that the food raw materials inside the fermentation tank 103 can be fermented stably.

[0055] Step 5: After the food ingredients have finished fermenting in the fermentation tank 103, turn the opening of one of the discharge pipes 104 with a valve downwards and open the valve on the discharge pipe 104. The fermented food ingredients will be discharged through the discharge pipe 104 with the valve, thus completing the fermentation of the food ingredients.
