Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of black garlic processing equipment, in particular to a black garlic fermentation device. Background Art

[0002] Black garlic is a type of garlic that has been stored in a high temperature and high humidity environment. Its internal structure is destroyed, and allicin and other substances interact with each other to produce a complex physical and chemical reaction, which turns the garlic from white to black. In terms of nutrition, black garlic has significantly lower water and fat content than garlic, while the protein, sugar, vitamins, etc. are at least twice that of garlic. In particular, the content of trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc., are significantly improved in black garlic. These rich nutrients have many benefits for the human body, such as delaying aging, improving anemia, etc. Moreover, the taste of black garlic is completely different from that of fresh garlic. It tastes sweet and sour, without spicy taste and garlic smell, and is more easily accepted by the public. In addition, black garlic also has antioxidant and anti-acidification effects, and is suitable for people with "three highs" and cancer patients.

[0003] However, most of the existing black garlic processing methods are to pile up the cleaned raw garlic in each supporting frame, and then put each supporting frame into a high temperature and high humidity fermentation box for fermentation. However, due to the different positions of the raw garlic piled in the supporting frame, the area of ​​air with temperature and humidity that the raw garlic contacts in the fermentation box is different. When the raw garlic is fermented, it is easy to have the situation that the raw garlic piled up at the top of the supporting frame with more contact with the air ferments faster, and the raw garlic piled at the bottom with less contact with the air ferments slower, which increases the difference in fermentation time of raw garlic at different positions in the same batch, thereby causing the fermented black garlic to be over-fermented or incompletely fermented, affecting the quality of the fermented black garlic. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a black garlic fermentation device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0023] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the inner box 2 is arranged in the inner cavity of the fermentation box 1, and a bottom plate 11 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fermentation box 1, and sliders 111 are arranged at both ends of the bottom of the bottom plate 11, and a first slide groove 101 is opened at the position of the inner cavity of the fermentation box 1 corresponding to the slider 111, and the slider 111 is slidably installed in the first slide groove 101, and fixing bolts 14 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom plate 11, and the fixing bolts 14 pass through the bottom plate 11 and are threadedly installed in the fermentation box 1, and positioning columns 12 are arranged at the four corners of the top of the bottom plate 11, and a support plate 21 is arranged at the bottom of the inner box 2, and sliding holes 211 are opened at the four corners of the support plate 21, and the support plate 21 passes through the sliding holes 211 is sleeved on the outer wall of the positioning column 12, and a return spring 13 is provided on the outer wall of the positioning column 12 below the support plate 21, and an annular baffle 121 for limiting its position is provided on one end of the outer wall of the positioning column 12 above the support plate 21, and the end surface area of ​​the annular baffle 121 is larger than the opening area of ​​the sliding hole 211, and a cylinder 15 is provided at the top of the fermentation box 1 at a position corresponding to the inner box 2, and an extension rod 151 is provided at the output end of the cylinder 15, and the extension rod 151 passes through the fermentation box 1 and extends to its inner cavity, and a push plate 16 is provided at one end of the extension rod 151 located in the inner cavity of the fermentation box 1, and the push plate 16 is tightly attached to the upper end surface of the inner box 2.

[0024] In one embodiment, when the position of the raw garlic in the fermentation box 1 is adjusted, the cylinder 15 can be driven to work to drive the extension rod 151 installed at its output end to repeatedly extend and retract, and drive the push plate 16 installed on the extension rod 151 to repeatedly move up and down inside the fermentation box 1, so that the push plate 16 pushes the inner box 2 to move downward in the fermentation box 1, and then the inner box 2 moving downward drives the support plate 21 installed thereon to move, so that the support plate 21 slides downward on the outer wall of the positioning column 12 through the sliding hole 211 and presses the reset spring 13 to deform, and then the reset spring 13 pushes the support plate 21 and the inner box 2 to return to their original positions through its own elastic force, and this is repeated, so that the inner box 2 can be moved in the fermentation box 1. The fermentation box 1 is constantly displaced, and the raw garlic in the supporting frame 22 installed therein is driven to shake continuously, so as to adjust the position of the raw garlic during fermentation. The position of the raw garlic in the supporting frame 22 can be adjusted, so that the raw garlic accumulated in the supporting frame 22 is evenly in contact with the air with temperature and humidity, which not only avoids the situation that the raw garlic accumulated at the top with more contact with the air ferments faster, and the raw garlic accumulated at the bottom with less contact with the air ferments slower due to the different positions of the raw garlic accumulated in the supporting frame 22, but also reduces the difference in fermentation time of raw garlic in the same batch, and also avoids the trouble of over-fermentation or incomplete fermentation of black garlic in the same batch, thereby ensuring the quality of the fermented black garlic.

[0025] In one embodiment, when installing the inner box 2, the bottom plate 11 can be slid by the cooperation of the slider 111 and the first slide groove 101, so that the bottom plate 11 drives the inner box 2 installed thereon to slide into the inner cavity of the fermentation box 1, and then the fixing bolts 14 at the four corners of the bottom plate 11 are screwed in turn, and the fixing bolts 14 are installed on the inner wall of the fermentation box 1, and the installation of the inner box 2 is completed. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient, which is conducive to the later maintenance of the inner box 2.

[0026] In one embodiment, since the end surface area of ​​the annular baffle 121 is larger than the opening area of ​​the sliding hole 211, when the inner box 2 is driven to repeatedly move in the fermentation box 1, the position of the support plate 21 on the positioning column 12 can be limited by the annular baffle 121 to prevent the support plate 21 from falling off the positioning column 12, thereby avoiding the situation in which the inner box 2 cannot move up and down in the fermentation box 1 due to the support plate 21 being separated from the positioning column 12, thereby ensuring the displacement of the inner box 2.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a cavity 201 is provided inside the inner box 2, and a plurality of slide rails 203 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the cavity 201. A second slide groove 222 is provided at a position corresponding to the slide rail 203 on the side wall of the carrying frame 22, and the carrying frame 22 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the slide rail 203 through the second slide groove 222. In addition, a placement cavity 221 is provided inside the carrying frame 22, and a carrying plate 23 for carrying black garlic is installed inside the placement cavity 221. Support columns 232 are provided at the bottom four corners of the carrying plate 23, and fastening bolts 233 are provided at the top four corners of the carrying plate 23 corresponding to the support columns 232. The fastening bolts 233 penetrate the carrying plate 23 and the support columns 232 and are threadedly installed on the inner wall of the carrying frame 22. The inner wall of the inner box 2 is provided with a connecting groove 202 at a position corresponding to the position between two adjacent supporting frames 22. The cavity 201 is connected with the inner cavity of the fermentation box 1 through the connecting groove 202. The end surfaces of the inner box 2 are provided with limiting vertical plates 24 hinged on both sides of the opening of the cavity 201. Adsorption magnets 25 are provided at positions corresponding to the end surfaces of the inner box 2 and the limiting vertical plates 24. The two limiting vertical plates 24 are tightly attached to the end surfaces of the inner box 2 through the adsorption magnets 25 and respectively cover the two ends of the supporting frame 22.

[0028] In one embodiment, when raw garlic is placed in the fermentation box 1 for fermentation, the raw garlic can be first piled in the placement cavity 221 of each carrying frame 22, and the raw garlic piled on the carrying plate 23 inside the placement cavity 221, and then the slide rail 203 cooperates with the second slide groove 222 to slide each carrying frame 22 in turn inside the inner box 2, so that the air with temperature and humidity in the fermentation box 1 enters the cavity 201 from the connecting groove 202 to contact the raw garlic in the carrying frame 22, and then the limiting vertical plates 24 on both sides of the opening of the cavity 201 are rotated to allow the two limiting vertical plates to be moved. The plate 24 is closely attached to the end of the inner box 2 and covers the two ends of the supporting frame 22 by adsorbing the magnet 25, thereby limiting the position of the supporting frame 22, and then closing the door of the fermentation box 1 to seal the inner box 2 in the fermentation box 1 to prevent the loss of air with temperature and humidity in the fermentation box 1, thereby completing the loading of raw garlic, limiting the position of the supporting frame 22, preventing the supporting frame 22 from falling to the outside of the inner box 2, and avoiding the situation in which the supporting frame 22 falls to the outside of the inner box 2 due to the shaking of the inner box 2, thereby ensuring the progress of the raw garlic fermentation.

[0029] In one embodiment, since the end surface of the supporting plate 23 is evenly provided with a plurality of through holes 231, the placement cavity 221 is connected with the accommodating cavity through the through holes 231. When the black garlic is fermented, the liquid generated by the fermentation on the surface of the black garlic flows from the through holes 231 into the accommodating cavity, preventing the liquid generated by the fermentation from adhering to the surface of the black garlic, thus avoiding the trouble that the black garlic needs to be cleaned before entering the next process due to the large amount of liquid generated by the fermentation adhering to the surface of the black garlic, thus saving time and labor, and improving the production efficiency of the black garlic.

[0030] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when fermenting black garlic, raw garlic can be first piled in the placement cavity 221 of each carrying frame 22, and the raw garlic piled on the carrying plate 23 inside the placement cavity 221, and then the slide rail 203 cooperates with the second slide groove 222 to slide each carrying frame 22 in turn inside the inner box 2, so that the air with temperature and humidity in the fermentation box 1 enters the cavity 201 from the connecting groove 202 to contact the raw garlic in the carrying frame 22, and then the limiting vertical plates 24 on both sides of the opening of the cavity 201 are rotated to allow the two limiting vertical plates 22 to be moved to the inner box 2. By adsorbing the magnet 25 tightly against the end of the inner box 2 and covering the two ends of the carrying frame 22, the position of the carrying frame 22 is limited to prevent the carrying frame 22 from falling outside the inner box 2, and then the door of the fermentation box 1 is closed to seal the inner box 2 in the fermentation box 1 to prevent the loss of air with temperature and humidity in the fermentation box 1. The raw garlic is loaded, and then the cylinder 15 is driven to drive the extension rod 151 installed at its output end to repeatedly extend and retract, and drive the push plate 16 installed on the extension rod 151 to repeatedly move up and down inside the fermentation box 1. , let the push plate 16 push the inner box 2 to move downward in the fermentation box 1, and then let the inner box 2 moving downward drive the support plate 21 installed thereon to move, let the support plate 21 slide downward on the outer wall of the positioning column 12 through the sliding hole 211 and press the reset spring 13 to deform, and then let the reset spring 13 push the support plate 21 and the inner box 2 to return to their original positions through its own elastic force, and repeat this process, so that the inner box 2 can be continuously displaced in the fermentation box 1, and the raw garlic in the supporting frame 22 installed therein can be continuously shaken, so as to adjust the raw garlic during fermentation. The position of the raw garlic in the carrying frame 22 can be adjusted, so that the raw garlic accumulated in the carrying frame 22 is evenly in contact with the air with temperature and humidity, which not only avoids the situation that the raw garlic accumulated at the top with more contact with the air ferments faster, while the raw garlic accumulated at the bottom with less contact with the air ferments slower due to the different positions of the raw garlic accumulated in the carrying frame 22, but also reduces the difference in fermentation time of raw garlic in the same batch, and also avoids the trouble of over-fermentation or incomplete fermentation of black garlic in the same batch, thereby ensuring the quality of the fermented black garlic.
