They are also called cream products. With the continuous growth of the population, dairy consumption in my country is an important factor. Population growth can promote the growth of total dairy consumption, thereby driving the development of dairy production. However, the existing technology cannot quickly ferment dairy raw materials when fermenting dairy products. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 6. In detail, a dairy fermentation system includes a base support plate 101 and a fermentation horizontal barrel 102 fixedly connected to the base support plate 101 by welding. Two bearing gear rings 103 are rotatably connected to the fermentation horizontal barrel 102 by bearings. Multiple heating plates 104 are uniformly fixedly connected to each of the two bearing gear rings 103 by welding. A vertical discharge pipe 105 with a valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation horizontal barrel 102 by welding. Both ends of the fermentation horizontal barrel 102 are fixedly connected to end-sealing cavities 106 by threads.
[0032] Furthermore, the base support plate 101 serves as a load-bearing connection, ensuring the device is placed stably on the ground. The base support plate 101 also provides a fixed space for the fermentation tank 102, where the fermentation of dairy raw materials is completed. Once fermentation is complete, the dairy raw materials become dairy products. A circular hole is provided at the top of the fermentation tank 102, through which dairy products are added. Two supporting gear rings 103 can rotate on the fermentation tank 102, providing a fixed space for two sets of multiple heating trays 104. When the two bearing gear rings 103 rotate on the fermentation tank 102, they drive the two sets of multiple heating plates 104 to rotate. The two sets of multiple heating plates 104 can generate heat, thereby heating the fermentation tank 102 and the dairy products inside the fermentation tank 102, further accelerating the fermentation process. The vertical discharge pipe 105 is equipped with a valve. After opening the valve, the fermented dairy products in the fermentation tank 102 can be discharged. The two end-sealing cavities 106 can be used to seal both ends of the fermentation tank 102.
[0033] Dairy products are added into the fermentation tank 102 through the round hole on the fermentation tank 102. The two bearing gear rings 103 rotate, which drives the two sets of multiple heating plates 104 to rotate. The rotating sets of multiple heating plates 104 heat the fermentation tank 102, which in turn heats the dairy products inside, providing a suitable temperature and further accelerating the fermentation speed. After the dairy products have finished fermenting, the valve on the vertical discharge pipe 105 is opened, and the fermented dairy products can be discharged through the vertical discharge pipe 105. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the fermentation tank 102, simply remove the two end-sealed cavities 106 and add water to the fermentation tank 102 to clean the inside of the fermentation tank 102 immediately.
[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 In detail, the fermentation tank 102 has two vertical hollow tubes 201 that are fixedly connected by welding and are in communication with each other. Both vertical hollow tubes 201 are connected to a sealed cavity 202 by thread.
[0035] Furthermore, the two vertical hollow tubes 201 are made of transparent material. According to the principle of communicating vessels, the dairy raw materials located inside the fermentation tank 102 will also enter the two vertical hollow tubes 201. By observing the height of the dairy raw materials inside the two vertical hollow tubes 201, the height of the dairy raw materials inside the fermentation tank 102 can be determined. The two sealed cavities 202 can be used to seal the two vertical hollow tubes 201, and a humidity meter can also be inserted into the fermentation tank 102 through the two vertical hollow tubes 201 to measure the humidity of the fermentation tank 102. If the humidity of the dairy raw materials in fermentation tank 102 is not up to standard, the humidity of the dairy raw materials in fermentation tank 102 will be adjusted to ensure that the humidity of the dairy raw materials is appropriate and to carry out the fermentation process smoothly. If there is a shortage of water, water will be added to fermentation tank 102 through two vertical hollow tubes 201. If the humidity is too high, the power of two sets of multiple heating plates 104 will be increased to dry the dairy raw materials in fermentation tank 102, thereby ensuring that the dairy raw materials in fermentation tank 102 are in a suitable humidity for fermentation.
[0036] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 and 2 In detail, a dual-head motor 301 is fixedly connected to the fermentation tank 102 via a flange plate. The two output shafts of the dual-head motor 301 are fixedly connected to transmission gears 302 via keyways and snap rings. The two transmission gears 302 are respectively connected to the two bearing gear rings 103 through meshing transmission.
[0037] Furthermore, after starting the dual-head motor 301, it can drive the two transmission gears 302 to rotate. The rotating transmission gears 302 can drive the two sets of multiple heating trays 104 to rotate, ensuring that the two sets of multiple heating trays 104 can evenly heat the fermentation tank 102. Only when the fermentation tank 102 is evenly heated can the dairy raw materials inside the fermentation tank 102 be evenly heated, thereby further improving the fermentation efficiency of the dairy raw materials.
[0038] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-3 In detail in section 5, both ends of the fermentation tank 102 are fixedly connected to bearing seats 401 by welding. A horizontal stirring shaft 402 is rotatably connected between the two bearing seats 401 through bearing holes. Multiple cross stirring plates 403 are uniformly fixedly connected to the horizontal stirring shaft 402 by welding. Both ends of the horizontal stirring shaft 402 are rotatably connected to the two end-sealed cavities 106 through round holes.
[0039] Furthermore, the two bearing seats 401 can provide rotation space for the horizontal stirring shaft 402, and the horizontal stirring shaft 402 can provide fixed space for multiple cross stirring plates 403. The horizontal stirring shaft 402 drives the multiple cross stirring plates 403 to rotate. When the dairy raw materials are fermented in the fermentation tank 102, they also need to be stirred to ensure that the dairy raw materials in the fermentation tank 102 are in uniform contact with the inner wall of the fermentation tank 102. The horizontal stirring shaft 402 can be connected to an external drive component, and the external drive component drives the horizontal stirring shaft 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple cross stirring plates 403 to rotate in the fermentation tank 102.
[0040] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 , 7 As detailed in section 8, the fermentation horizontal barrel 102 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the feeding vertical barrel 501 by welding.
[0041] Furthermore, the feeding vertical barrel 501 is fixedly connected to the round hole on the fermentation horizontal barrel 102, so that the dairy raw materials can be added into the feeding vertical barrel 501 first, and then the dairy raw materials that enter the feeding vertical barrel 501 can fall into the fermentation horizontal barrel 102.
[0042] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 and 7 -9 Detailed description: A horizontal support plate 601 is fixedly connected to the feed vertical barrel 501 by welding. A notched cavity 602 is fixedly connected to the horizontal support plate 601 by welding. A filter circular plate 603 is slidably connected to the notched cavity 602 by a notch.
[0043] Furthermore, the horizontal support plate 601 provides a fixed space for the notched cavity 602, and the notched cavity 602 provides a sliding space for the filter disc 603 and limits the movement of the filter disc 603, allowing it to slide only up and down. The filter disc 603 has multiple filter holes. The dairy raw materials will first fall onto the filter disc 603 and then fall through the multiple filter holes on the filter disc 603, while impurities will remain on the filter disc 603, ensuring that there are no impurities in the dairy raw materials entering the fermentation tank 102.
[0044] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 and 7 -9 Detailed description: Multiple sealing sliding columns 701 are uniformly and fixedly connected to the horizontal support plate 601 by welding.
[0045] Furthermore, multiple sealing slides 701 are located directly below multiple filter holes on the filter disc 603. After the dairy raw materials are completely added into the fermentation tank 102, the filter disc 603 is moved downwards, allowing the multiple sealing slides 701 to slide and connect into the multiple filter holes on the filter disc 603, thereby sealing the filter disc 603. When the filter disc 603 continues to move downwards, pressure is applied to the fermentation tank 102, ensuring that the fermentation tank 102 is under high pressure. This pressure accelerates the fermentation speed of the dairy raw materials in the fermentation tank 102. When the fermentation of the dairy raw materials is complete, applying pressure to the fermentation tank 102 accelerates the discharge speed of the fermented raw materials, thus speeding up the collection of dairy products.
[0046] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 and 7 -9 Detailed description: The upper sealing plate 801 is fixedly connected to the notched cavity 602 by screws. The upper sealing plate 801 is rotatably connected to the lifting screw 802 through the bearing hole. The lifting screw 802 is connected to the filter disc 603 by threaded transmission.
[0047] Furthermore, the upper capping plate 801 provides space for the lifting screw 802 to rotate, and when the lifting screw 802 rotates, it can drive the filter disc 603 to rise or fall, thereby changing the height of the filter disc 603.
[0048] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 , 7 In detail with reference to 10, the feeding vertical barrel 501 is slidably connected to a support cover 901 via a straight cavity. Two connecting vertical pipes 902 are fixedly connected to the support cover 901 by welding. An adding pipe 903 is fixedly connected to the two connecting vertical pipes 902 by welding. Multiple heating plates 904 are fixedly connected to the adding pipe 903 by welding.
[0049] Furthermore, the support cover 901 provides a fixed space for the two connecting vertical pipes 902, which in turn provide a fixed space for the adding pipe 903. Dairy raw materials can be added to the adding pipe 903, and finally, the dairy raw materials can enter the feeding vertical tank 501 through the two connecting vertical pipes 902. The multiple heating plates 904 are all equipped with heating functions, and each heating plate 904 has a round hole at its center. The diameter of the round holes in the multiple heating plates 904 decreases from top to bottom. After the dairy raw materials are added to the adding pipe 903, they will intermittently fall onto the multiple heating plates 904, and the multiple heating plates 904 will be used to heat and sterilize the dairy raw materials. Moreover, the dairy raw materials will intermittently come into contact with the multiple heating plates 904 to ensure thorough sterilization of the dairy raw materials.
[0050] The fermentation method of the dairy product fermentation system includes the following steps:
[0051] Step 1: Add the dairy products into the fermentation tank 102 through the round hole on the fermentation tank 102;
[0052] Step 2: Rotate the two bearing gear rings 103. The rotation of the two bearing gear rings 103 will drive the two sets of multiple heating plates 104 to rotate.
[0053] Step 3: The fermentation tank 102 can be heated by two sets of multiple rotating heating plates 104, and the heated fermentation tank 102 can heat the dairy products inside it.
[0054] Step 4: After the dairy products have finished fermenting, open the valve on the vertical discharge pipe 105, and the fermented dairy products can be discharged through the vertical discharge pipe 105.
[0055] Step 5: When it is necessary to clean the inside of the fermentation barrel 102, simply remove the two end-sealed cavities 106 and add water into the fermentation barrel 102 to immediately clean the inside of the fermentation barrel 102.
