After the temperature rises to a certain value, the heating rod 23 stops heating. When the temperature needs to be lowered, the valve in the hot water pipe 19 is closed first, so that the hot water enters the hot water tank 15 from the hot water circulation pipe 21, and then the valve in the hot water circulation pipe 21 is closed, and the cold water pipe 18 and the cold water circulation pipe 21 are opened. The valve in the pipe 20, the water pump 16 pumps the cold water in the cold water tank 14 into the spiral pipe 25, and heat exchange is performed through the cold water. Then the motor 3 drives the stirring shaft 2 to rotate, driving the stirring blade 22 to mix the culture solution and the probiotics, and evenly heat them. When aerobic fermentation is performed, the air is transported to the filter box 4 through the fan, and the air passes through the filter 11.
