Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dairy product production, in particular to a dairy product fermentation tank. Background Art
[0002] Dairy products refer to various foods made from cow's milk or goat's milk and their processed products as the main raw materials, with or without the addition of appropriate amounts of vitamins, minerals and other auxiliary materials, under the conditions required by laws, regulations and standards, also called cream products. They mainly include: liquid milk (pasteurized milk, sterilized milk, modulated milk, fermented milk); milk powder (whole milk powder, skim milk powder, partially skimmed milk powder, modulated milk powder, colostrum powder); other dairy products (etc.). With the improvement of people's living standards and the change of consumption concepts, dairy products, with their unique nutritional and health functions, have become an increasingly important nutritional food in people's daily lives.
[0003] Among them, fermentation tanks are used to ferment dairy raw materials during the production of dairy products. Fermentation tanks play a vital role in the production of dairy products. They not only promote the fermentation process of dairy products, but also improve the nutritional value and taste of dairy products.
[0004] However, in actual use of the prior art, in order to ensure the production efficiency of dairy raw materials, a larger fermentation tank is used during the fermentation of dairy raw materials using a fermentation tank. However, when a larger fermentation tank is used, since the volume of dairy raw materials in the fermentation tank is large, it is inconvenient to control the fermentation temperature of the dairy raw materials. The control of the fermentation temperature is very critical, because too high or too low temperature may have an adverse effect on the growth of lactic acid bacteria and the taste of dairy products. Too high temperature may kill lactic acid bacteria and affect the taste and flavor of yogurt. Too low temperature may prolong the fermentation time, which will also affect the taste and flavor of yogurt. Utility Model Content

[0025] Working principle: When in use, the utility model opens the top cover 2. When the top cover 2 is opened, the dairy raw materials to be fermented are discharged into the fermentation cylinder 1. When the dairy raw materials are discharged into the fermentation cylinder 1, the stirring motor 8 is turned on by control. When the stirring motor 8 is turned on, it will drive the stirring shaft 9 to rotate. When the stirring shaft 9 rotates, it will drive the stirring paddle 10 to mix and stir the dairy raw materials in the fermentation cylinder 1, so as to accelerate the fermentation efficiency of the dairy raw materials. The pressure inside the fermentation cylinder 1 can be observed through the barometer 5. When the pressure inside the fermentation cylinder 1 is too high, the exhaust pipe 4 can be opened to vent the inside of the fermentation cylinder 1. The fermentation cylinder 1 is vented to reduce the internal pressure of the fermentation cylinder 1. The internal temperature of the fermentation cylinder 1 can be detected by the temperature detection sensor 15.

When the rotating ring 16 rotates, the support column 20 is driven to move. When the support column 20 is moved, the cross stirring rod 21 is driven to move and stir inside the heat transfer chamber 11, so that when water of different temperatures is added to adjust the temperature of the heat transfer chamber 11, the mixing of the temperature water inside the heat transfer chamber 11 can be accelerated to avoid uneven temperature inside the heat transfer chamber 11.
