[0039] According to some embodiments of the utility model, through holes are provided on the stirring plate which penetrate in the thickness direction, and the through holes are densely arranged. By providing the densely arranged through holes on the stirring plate, during the rotation of the stirring plate, the gas in the fermentation chamber can flow through the through holes, thereby reducing the air resistance during the rotation of the stirring plate and facilitating the rotation of the stirring plate.

[0040] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the multi-purpose fermentation device 1 further includes a temperature sensor and a heating part, the temperature sensor is arranged in the fermentation chamber and detects the temperature; a pH monitoring device, the pH monitoring device is arranged in the fermentation chamber and monitors the pH value of the fermentation product;

[0041] The heating part is arranged on the stirring plate and is suitable for heating the fermentation material in the fermentation cavity according to the detection result of the temperature sensor.

[0042] Specifically, a temperature sensor is arranged inside the fermentation chamber. The temperature sensor can detect the temperature change in the fermentation chamber during the fermentation process. When the temperature in the fermentation chamber is lower than the standard value, the temperature sensor sends a signal and can control the heating part to heat the fermented product. When the temperature reaches the standard value, the temperature sensor sends a signal and controls the heating part to stop heating, thereby ensuring the stability of the fermentation environment of the fermented product and facilitating the full fermentation of the fermented product and ensuring the fermentation effect. A pH monitoring device for monitoring the pH value of the fermented product is arranged inside the fermentation chamber. A display screen connected to the pH monitoring device can be arranged on the cover plate. The pH value of the fermented product detected by the pH monitoring device can be displayed on the display screen, thereby facilitating the observation of the pH change of the fermented product. If the pH value of the fermented product is abnormal, it can be processed in time according to the display result of the display screen to ensure the normal fermentation of the fermented product.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the multi-purpose fermentation device 1 also includes a cover plate 13, which can be pivotally disposed on the internal shell 12 and selectively close the fermentation cavity. After the internal shell 12 extends into the accommodating cavity, the cover plate 13 can be connected with the external shell 11 and close the accommodating cavity.

[0044] Specifically, the cover 13 can be pivotally arranged on the internal shell 12. When the fermented material is filled, the cover 13 can be pivoted open to facilitate the filling of the fermented material. After the fermented material is filled, the cover 13 can be pivoted closed to seal the fermentation cavity. When the internal shell 12 is loaded into the accommodating cavity, the cover 13 cooperates with the external shell 11 and seals the accommodating cavity to ensure the sealing effect of the fermentation cavity. After the fermentation is completed, the cover 13 is disconnected from the external shell 11, and the internal shell 12 can be driven to move axially relative to the external shell 11 by lifting the cover 13 to drive the internal shell 12 to leave the accommodating cavity.

[0045] A handle 134 is also provided on the cover plate 13 to facilitate opening or closing the cover plate 13 .

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the multi-purpose fermentation device 1 also includes an observation window 131 and a sampling port 132.

The sampling port 132 can be opened selectively to sample the fermented product in the fermentation chamber.

[0047] Specifically, an observation window 131 is provided on the cover plate 13, so as to observe the fermentation status of the fermented material inside the fermentation chamber. For example, when the fermented material rots, the rot status can be timely obtained through the observation window 131, and the rotten fermented material can be removed through the sampling port 132 to prevent the rotten fermented material from affecting the fermentation result. Moreover, the fermented material can be periodically extracted through the sampling port 132 to monitor the fermentation status of the fermented material, and the fermented material can be processed according to the collected results to ensure that the fermented material is fully fermented.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the multi-purpose fermentation device 1 also includes a pressure sensor and an exhaust valve 133. The pressure sensor is arranged on the inner wall of the internal shell 12 and is suitable for detecting the internal pressure of the fermentation chamber; the exhaust valve 133 is arranged on the cover plate 13, and the exhaust valve 133 can be selectively opened to relieve the pressure of the fermentation chamber according to the detection result of the pressure sensor.

[0049] Specifically, a pressure sensor is provided in the fermentation chamber, and the pressure change in the fermentation chamber is detected by the pressure sensor. Since gas is generated during the fermentation of the fermented material, the internal pressure of the fermentation chamber is increased. In order to ensure smooth fermentation, an exhaust valve 133 is provided on the cover plate 13. The exhaust valve 133 can be opened or closed according to the detection result of the pressure sensor. When the pressure in the fermentation chamber is too high, the exhaust valve 133 opens and exhausts the gas to balance the air pressure. After the pressure stabilizes, the exhaust valve 133 is closed to ensure the sealing of the fermentation chamber. By providing the pressure sensor and the exhaust valve 133, the fermentation chamber is pressure-detected and the pressure in the fermentation chamber is balanced to ensure the fermentation effect of the fermented material.

[0050] In some embodiments, an air inlet is also formed on the cover plate, and the air inlet can be selectively connected to an external air source to pass the external gas into the fermentation chamber, wherein the external gas can be a gas suitable for regulating the fermentation process of the fermented product, which can inhibit the production of microorganisms in the fermented product and improve the fermentation quality of the fermented product. An air inlet valve can be set at the air inlet to control the opening and closing of the air inlet to ensure the sealing of the fermentation chamber. By setting the air inlet and the exhaust valve, the gas composition and gas pressure in the fermentation chamber can be regulated, the production of microorganisms in the fermented product can be adjusted, and the fermentation quality of the fermented product can be improved.
