Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of red yeast rice production technology, specifically to a red yeast rice fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Red yeast rice, made from the mycelium of the fungus *Monascus purpureus* (family Aspergillus family) parasitizing on japonica rice, is commonly used to treat symptoms such as indigestion, abdominal distension, dysentery, and injuries from falls and blows. The fermentation process of red yeast rice requires a fermentation tank; however, when adding the red yeast rice material, it tends to stick together and clump, thus affecting the fermentation effect.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a red yeast rice fermentation device has been commercially available, comprising a stirring assembly, a fermentation chamber with inlet and outlet, and several heat dissipation holes on the fermentation chamber; the stirring assembly is housed within a testing chamber. In operation, the red yeast rice is first placed in the fermentation chamber, and then stirred by the stirring assembly to disperse any adhering red yeast rice. During the fermentation process, the heat generated is dissipated through the heat dissipation holes. This process enhances the fermentation effect and improves the quality of the fermented red yeast rice.

[0004] The above-mentioned device has the following problems in actual use: the device can only dissipate heat by relying on the heat dissipation holes themselves. However, when the amount of red yeast rice fermented is large and the heat generated is large, the heat dissipation holes cannot efficiently dissipate a large amount of heat quickly, resulting in poor heat dissipation effect, which affects the fermentation quality of red yeast rice. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a red yeast rice fermentation device to solve the problem that existing fermentation devices cannot efficiently dissipate excessive heat from the fermentation chamber.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a red yeast rice fermentation device, comprising a box body with an inlet, and a fermentation mechanism disposed within the box body; the fermentation mechanism includes a cover plate, an air guide pipe, an air guide hood, a rotating shaft, air guide vanes, a fermentation box with a top opening, a top hole on the cover plate, a bottom hole on the fermentation box, air holes symmetrically located on both sides of the air guide pipe, a drive component for driving the fermentation box to reciprocate along the length of the box body, and a power component for driving the rotating shaft to rotate; the cover plate is detachably connected to the top of the fermentation box; the air guide pipe is respectively attached to the inner walls of the top hole and the bottom hole, and the air guide pipe is fixedly connected to the box body; the air guide hood is connected to the air guide pipe; the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the box body; the air guide vanes are located inside the air guide hood, and the air guide vanes are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft; the fermentation box is slidably connected to the box body.

[0007] The principle and advantages of this scheme are: The red yeast rice is placed in a fermentation chamber for fermentation. During fermentation, a drive component moves the fermentation chamber back and forth along its length. This movement causes the red yeast rice to agitate and accelerates the flow of hot air within the chamber. Therefore, the movement of the fermentation chamber reduces the probability of red yeast rice accumulation and promotes efficient heat dissipation through the top or bottom holes, thus enhancing the fermentation effect.

[0008] The top and bottom holes are designed to allow hot air to flow from both the top and bottom sides of the fermentation chamber, thereby improving the overall flow of hot air and ensuring efficient circulation, which enhances the heat dissipation effect.

[0009] During the rotation of the air guide vanes, the heat exchange process between the hot air inside the fermentation chamber and the cold air outside is accelerated, thereby further improving the efficiency and quality of heat dissipation. Furthermore, because the fermentation chamber can reciprocate along its length, the air guide vanes can exchange heat with the air at different locations within the chamber, thus enhancing their effectiveness.

[0010] The air ducts are positioned to be attached to the top and bottom holes to clear any blockages in the red yeast rice inside, thereby facilitating efficient heat exchange between the hot air inside the fermentation chamber and the cold air outside, thus further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a moving block, a stirring and expanding section symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving block, and a drive unit for driving the moving block to perform vertical reciprocating motion; the stirring and expanding section includes a side tube and a number of side holes equidistantly opened on the side tube along the length direction of the side tube; the moving block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air guide tube; the side tube passes through the air hole and is fixedly connected to the moving block, and the side tube can perform vertical reciprocating motion in the air hole.

[0012] The reciprocating motion of the fermentation chamber along its length and the vertical reciprocating motion of the side tubes allow the side tubes to agitate different areas within the fermentation chamber. This further reduces the probability of red yeast rice accumulation and accelerates the flow of hot air. Therefore, the side tubes improve the fermentation quality of the red yeast rice.

[0013] During the movement of the side tube, the side holes are designed to expand the range of heat exchange between the hot air inside the fermentation chamber and the cold air outside, enabling more different locations inside the fermentation chamber to exchange heat simultaneously. This enriches the comprehensiveness of heat exchange and enhances its heat dissipation effect.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes several auxiliary units equidistantly arranged along the length of the side tube; the auxiliary unit includes an auxiliary cylinder, an auxiliary block, and a first spring; the auxiliary cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side tube; the auxiliary block is slidably connected to the auxiliary cylinder; and the two ends of the first spring are respectively connected to the inner walls of the auxiliary block and the auxiliary cylinder.

[0015] The auxiliary cylinder and auxiliary block are designed to expand the stirring range of the side tube, allowing it to stir the red yeast rice from different directions. Furthermore, when the auxiliary block rests against the bottom of the fermentation chamber, its relative sliding within the auxiliary cylinder continuously creates heat dissipation grooves within the red yeast rice, thus increasing the contact area between the red yeast rice and air, and enabling more efficient heat dissipation.

[0016] Furthermore, the auxiliary unit is located between the two side holes; the auxiliary cylinder is connected to the side tube; the auxiliary unit also includes auxiliary components; the auxiliary components include a fixing block and an auxiliary plate; the fixing block is fixedly connected to the auxiliary block; the auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the fixing block, and the auxiliary plate can slide in and out of the side tube; the length of several fixing blocks gradually decreases along the length direction of the side tube towards the location of the air guide tube.

[0017] During the relative sliding of the auxiliary block within the auxiliary cylinder, the auxiliary plate can slide into the side tube to adjust the pressure within the side tube, thereby creating a pressure difference between the pressure inside the side tube and the pressure inside the fermentation chamber. Therefore, under the influence of this pressure difference, the heat exchange rate is accelerated, and the range of heat exchange is expanded, thus further enhancing the heat exchange effect of the side tube.

[0018] The arrangement of several fixed blocks with their lengths gradually decreasing towards the air duct along the length of the side tube is intended to increase the flow rate of heat exchange near the side holes of the air duct under the obstruction of the auxiliary plate, thereby shortening the path of hot and cold air flow and thus promoting faster heat and cold air exchange.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes rubber grinding discs symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving block; the rubber grinding discs are fixed to the moving block, the rubber grinding discs are in contact with the inner wall of the bottom hole, and the rubber grinding discs can reciprocate along the length of the air hole.

[0020] During the unclogging of the bottom hole using the air guide tube, the reciprocating motion of the rubber grinding disc allows for more precise unclogging of the red yeast rice adhering to the bottom hole. This enhances the unclogging effect and reduces the risk of the red yeast rice becoming deteriorated due to prolonged adhesion. Therefore, the rubber grinding disc further improves the quality and efficiency of bottom hole treatment.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes linkage units symmetrically arranged on both sides of the air duct; the linkage unit includes a side block, a linkage block, and a linkage component for driving the side block to reciprocate towards the position near the bottom hole; the side block is slidably connected to the air duct; the linkage block is fixedly connected to the side block; and the rubber grinding plate is located on the movement trajectory of the linkage block.

[0022] During the unclogging process of the bottom hole by the rubber abrasive pad, the reciprocating motion of the linkage block can continuously improve the fit between the rubber abrasive pad and the bottom hole, thereby enabling the rubber abrasive pad to unclog the bottom hole more efficiently and completely, thus further enhancing the effect of the rubber abrasive pad.

[0023] Furthermore, the linkage unit also includes an air guide plate; the air guide plate is fixedly connected to the side block.

[0024] The air guide plate is designed to regulate the flow diameter of cold and hot air within the air guide pipe. Therefore, under the influence of the air guide plate, the pressure of the cold and hot air flowing within the air guide pipe continuously changes, thereby accelerating the heat exchange between the two gases and ensuring efficient heat exchange.

[0025] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft, a first gear, a first rack, and a drive component for driving the drive shaft to rotate; the drive shaft is rotatably connected to the housing; the first gear is fixedly connected to the drive shaft; the first rack is fixedly connected to the fermentation tank; and the first rack meshes with the first gear.

[0026] During the rotation of the drive shaft, the first gear rotates synchronously. During the rotation of the first gear, the first gear meshes with the first rack, which in turn drives the fermentation tank to reciprocate along the length of the tank.

[0027] Furthermore, the drive shaft is a worm; the power component is a worm wheel; the worm wheel is fixedly connected to the shaft; and the worm wheel meshes with the worm.

[0028] During the rotation of the worm, the worm gear meshes with the worm, thus driving the worm to rotate.

[0029] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a vertical rod, a rotating shaft, a cam, a second gear, a second rack, and a second spring; the vertical rod is slidably connected to the air guide pipe and fixedly connected to the moving block; the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the housing; both the cam and the second gear are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft; the cam abuts against the vertical rod; the second rack is fixedly connected to the cover plate and meshes with the second gear; the two ends of the second spring are respectively connected to the inner wall of the vertical rod and the air guide pipe.

[0030] During the movement of the cover plate, the second rack meshes with the second gear, which in turn drives the rotating shaft to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft, the cam rotates synchronously. During cam rotation, when the cam's protrusion abuts against the vertical rod, the vertical rod moves vertically downwards, compressing the second spring; when the cam's protrusion no longer abuts against the vertical rod, the vertical rod returns to its original position under the action of the second spring, and moves vertically upwards. Therefore, the vertical rod can perform vertical reciprocating motion. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The drive unit includes a vertical rod 25, a rotating shaft 26, a cam 27, a second gear 28, a second rack 35, and a second spring 29.

[0050] It also includes a power component; the power component includes a power shaft 30 and an elliptical disk 31; the power shaft 30 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5; the elliptical disk 31 is fixedly connected to the power shaft 30, and the elliptical disk 31 abuts against the two side blocks 18 respectively; the linkage component is a third spring 32; the two ends of the third spring 32 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the side block 18 and the air guide pipe 3.

[0051] The driving component is a servo motor 34; the servo motor 34 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the output shaft of the servo motor 34 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 21.

[0052] Specific implementation process: Red yeast rice is placed into fermentation chamber 33 through the feed inlet. After the red yeast rice is placed, the cover plate 2 is connected to the top of fermentation chamber 33, and the air duct 3 is positioned inside the top hole 7. During fermentation of the red yeast rice in fermentation chamber 33, servo motor 34 is started, and the output shaft of servo motor 34 drives the worm gear to rotate. During the rotation of the worm gear, the first gear 22 rotates synchronously. During the rotation of the first gear 22, since the second gear 28 meshes with the first rack 23, the first rack 23 drives fermentation chamber 33 to reciprocate along the length of chamber 1.

[0053] During the movement of fermentation chamber 33, the red yeast rice inside the chamber is agitated, and the flow rate of hot air within the chamber is accelerated. Therefore, the movement of fermentation chamber 33 reduces the probability of red yeast rice accumulation and promotes efficient exhaust of hot air through top hole 7 or bottom hole 8, thus enhancing the fermentation effect of the red yeast rice.

[0054] The top hole 7 and bottom hole 8 are designed to allow hot air to flow from the top and bottom sides of the fermentation chamber 33, thereby improving the overall flow of hot air and ensuring efficient circulation, which enhances the heat dissipation effect.

[0055] During the rotation of the worm gear, the worm wheel 24 meshes with the worm, thereby driving the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 5, the air guide vanes 6 rotate synchronously. The rotation of the air guide vanes 6 accelerates the heat exchange process between the hot air inside the fermentation chamber 33 and the cold air outside, thus further improving the efficiency and quality of heat dissipation. Furthermore, since the fermentation chamber 33 can reciprocate along the length of the chamber 1, the air guide vanes 6 can exchange heat with the hot air at different locations within the fermentation chamber 33, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the air guide vanes 6.

[0056] The air duct 3 is positioned to be attached to the top hole 7 and the bottom hole 8 respectively, in order to clear the red yeast rice that is blocked in the top hole 7 and the bottom hole 8, thereby enabling the hot air inside the fermentation chamber 33 to exchange heat efficiently with the cold air outside the fermentation chamber 33, which further improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0057] During the movement of cover plate 2, the second gear 28, through the meshing of the second rack 35, drives the rotating shaft 26 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 26, the cam 27 rotates synchronously. During the rotation of cam 27, when the protrusion of cam 27 abuts against the vertical rod 25, the vertical rod 25 moves vertically downwards, compressing the second spring 29; when the protrusion of cam 27 no longer abuts against the vertical rod 25, the vertical rod 25 returns to its original position under the action of the second spring 29, and moves vertically upwards. Therefore, the vertical rod 25 can perform vertical reciprocating motion.

[0058] During the movement of the vertical rod 25, the vertical rod 25 drives the side tube 10 to move synchronously via the moving block 9. The reciprocating motion of the fermentation chamber 33 along the length of the chamber 1, along with the vertical reciprocating motion of the side tube 10, allows the side tube 10 to agitate different areas within the fermentation chamber 33. This further reduces the probability of red yeast rice accumulation and accelerates the flow of hot air. Therefore, the fermentation quality of the red yeast rice is improved under the action of the side tube 10.

[0059] During the movement of the side tube 10, the side holes 11 are designed to expand the range of heat exchange between the hot air inside the fermentation chamber 33 and the cold air outside the fermentation chamber 33, enabling more different locations inside the fermentation chamber 33 to exchange heat simultaneously, thus enriching the comprehensiveness of heat exchange and enhancing the heat dissipation effect.

[0060] During the movement of the side tube 10, it drives the auxiliary cylinder 12 and the auxiliary block 13 to move synchronously. The auxiliary cylinder 12 and the auxiliary block 13 are designed to expand the stirring range of the side tube 10, allowing it to stir the red yeast rice from different directions. Furthermore, when the auxiliary block 13 comes into contact with the bottom of the fermentation chamber 33, it can slide relative to the auxiliary cylinder 12, thus continuously creating heat dissipation grooves within the red yeast rice. This expands the contact area between the red yeast rice and the air, enabling more efficient heat dissipation.

[0061] During the relative sliding of the auxiliary block 13 within the auxiliary cylinder 12, the first spring 14 enables the auxiliary block 13 to drive the auxiliary plate 16 to slide in and out of the side tube 10. The auxiliary plate 16 is designed to slide into the side tube 10 to adjust the pressure within the side tube 10, thereby creating a pressure difference between the pressure inside the side tube 10 and the pressure inside the fermentation chamber 33. Therefore, this pressure difference accelerates the heat exchange rate and expands the heat exchange range, further enhancing the heat exchange effect of the side tube 10.

[0062] The arrangement of several fixed blocks 15 with their lengths gradually decreasing along the length of the side pipe 10 toward the location of the air guide pipe 3 is to increase the flow rate of heat exchange in the side holes 11 near the air guide pipe 3 under the obstruction of the auxiliary plate 16, thereby shortening the path of hot and cold air flow and thus promoting faster efficiency of hot and cold air exchange.

[0063] During the unblocking of the bottom hole 8 by the air guide tube 3, the moving block 9 drives the rubber grinding disc 17 to move synchronously. Through the reciprocating motion of the rubber grinding disc 17, the red yeast rice adhering to the bottom hole 8 can be more precisely unblocked, enhancing the unblocking effect and reducing the risk of prolonged adhesion and deterioration. Therefore, the rubber grinding disc 17 further improves the quality and efficiency of the treatment of the bottom hole 8.

[0064] During the rotation of the rotating shaft 5, the power shaft 30 rotates synchronously, and during the rotation of the power shaft 30, the elliptical disk 31 rotates synchronously. During the rotation of the elliptical disk 31, when the major axis end of the elliptical disk 31 abuts against the side block 18, the side block 18 drives the linkage block 19 to move towards the position close to the inner wall of the bottom hole 8, and the third spring 32 is compressed; when the minor axis end of the elliptical disk 31 no longer abuts against the side block 18, the side block 18 returns to its original position under the action of the third spring 32, and the side block 18 drives the linkage block 19 to move away from the position close to the inner wall of the bottom hole 8.

[0065] Therefore, during the unblocking process of the bottom hole 8 by the rubber grinding disc 17, the reciprocating motion of the linkage block 19 can continuously improve the fit between the rubber grinding disc 17 and the bottom hole 8, thereby enabling the rubber grinding disc 17 to unblock the bottom hole 8 more efficiently and completely, thus further enhancing the effect of the rubber grinding disc 17.

[0066] During the movement of side block 18, air guide plate 20 moves synchronously. Air guide plate 20 is designed to adjust the diameter of the flow path of cold and hot air within air guide pipe 3. Therefore, under the action of air guide plate 20, the pressure of cold and hot air flowing within air guide pipe 3 continuously changes, thereby accelerating the heat exchange rate between cold and hot air, thus ensuring efficient heat exchange.

[0067] In summary, by efficiently dissipating the heat generated during red yeast rice fermentation, the efficiency of red yeast rice fermentation is comprehensively improved, thus ensuring the quality of red yeast rice fermentation.
