Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of probiotic beverage production, in particular to a probiotic sustained-release device. Background Art

[0002] Probiotics are a type of active microorganisms that are beneficial to the host by colonizing in the human body and changing the composition of the flora in a certain part of the host. They promote nutrient absorption and maintain intestinal health by regulating the host mucosal and systemic immune functions or by regulating the balance of intestinal flora. With the improvement of living standards, more and more beverages are added with probiotics during production.

[0003] During production, probiotic raw materials are generally added to beverages, and a stirring rod is used to fully mix the probiotic raw materials and the beverage. However, mixing is performed using only a single set of stirring rods, which results in the mixing work taking a lot of time. Prolonged stirring can easily cause the probiotics to be lost. At the same time, the probiotic liquid cannot be stored after mixing, and the survival rate of the probiotics in the liquid can easily decrease in a high temperature environment.

[0004] According to the announcement number: CN210237600U, a probiotic sustained-release device is provided, including a containing box body and a water pipe, and the surface wall of the water pipe penetrates and is sealed and connected with the containing box body. In the utility model, a paddle, a feed tray and a trough are adopted, and liquid is passed into the water pipe, and the liquid drives the paddle to rotate, and the rotation of the paddle drives the feed tray to rotate, and the rotation of the feed tray drives one of the troughs to rotate out of the discharge door. At this time, the trough contains probiotic particles stored inside the containing box body, and after rotating out of the discharge door, the probiotic particles are washed away by the water flow, and the probiotics are released after mixing with the water flow. Since the volume of the trough is small, the probiotic particles transmitted out of the discharge door are small, which is convenient for the slow release of the probiotic particles inside the containing box body. At the same time, as the water flow speed in the water pipe increases, the rotation speed of the paddle increases, and the frequency of the probiotic particles transmitted by the trough increases, so as to ensure that the probiotic concentration of the discharged liquid remains basically unchanged, and the probiotic concentration will not be reduced due to the increase of the water flow, thereby ensuring the effective concentration of the probiotics.

[0005] According to the sustained-release device introduced above, mixing is performed only by a single set of stirring rods, which results in the mixing work taking a lot of time. Prolonged stirring can easily cause the probiotics to be lost. At the same time, the probiotic liquid cannot be stored after mixing. The survival rate of the probiotics in the liquid can easily decrease under high temperature conditions. Therefore, we need to propose a probiotic sustained-release device. Utility Model Content
