[0023] The following will be combined Figure 1-Figure 5 , a fermentation bed automatic heating device involved in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. It is worth noting that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present application and do not constitute a limitation of the present application. In order to further illustrate the fermentation bed heating chain plate of the present application, it is applied to a fermentation bed automatic heating device for detailed description below.

[0024] Embodiment 1:

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , an automatic heating device for a fermentation bed, comprising: an air guide space, a conveying unit, and a heating unit 2, wherein the air guide space is composed of an upper portion 5.2 and a lower portion 5.1 of a chain plate 5 and a fermentation bed 4; the chain plate and the fermentation bed 4 are both existing, so the air guide space here is composed of the bottom and upper portion of the chain plate and the body of the fermentation bed 4 to form an independent closed space. The chain plate continuously turns over in the fermentation bed 4 to convey materials.

[0026] Specifically, the chain drive 1 drives the chain to operate in the fermentation bed 4 through the driving wheel 1.1, and the material enters the fermentation bed 4 from the feeding end 4.1. The chain can be continuously transported through the driving wheel 1.1 and the redirecting wheel 1.2, and the material is sent to the downstream process from the discharging end 4.2.

[0027] The conveying unit is used to suck out the air in the air-guiding space from one side and send it in from the other side; the conveying unit includes an air inlet 2.1, a return air inlet 2.4, a conveying pipeline and a circulating fan 2.3, the air inlet 2.1 is opened on the side of the discharge end 4.2 of the air-guiding space close to the fermentation bed 4; the return air inlet 2.4 is opened on the side of the feed end 4.1 of the air-guiding space close to the fermentation bed 4; the circulating fan 2.3 connects the air inlet 2.1 and the return air inlet 2.4 through a conveying pipeline. The heating unit 2 is arranged on the conveying unit, and is used to heat the air sucked out from one side of the air-guiding space and send it back to the air-guiding space from the other side. The heating unit 2 is arranged on the conveying pipeline between the circulating fan 2.3 and the air inlet 2.1.

[0028] The return air port 2.4 sucks the air of the air guide space, and sends it to the heating unit 2 for heat exchange through the circulation fan 2.3, and then enters the air guide space through the air inlet 2.1. Furthermore, a series of hot air guide plates 4.3 are arranged in the air guide space, and the hot air guide plates 4.3 are fixed on the body cross beam of the air guide space. The hot air guide plates 4.3 are staggered left and right on the same longitudinal column to make the air flow form an "S" shape, so that the hot air flow rate is reduced and evenly distributed in the entire chain plate space, so as to realize the function of sufficient heat exchange of the upper and lower chain plates, and finally reach the return air port 2.4, and are sucked in by the fan again to form a hot air circulation.

[0029] Among them, the heating unit 2 can be an electric heating wire, an infrared heater 2.2 or a steam heater 2.2, and a hot air circulation system is formed through the circulating fan 2.3. The hot air circulates in the air guide space for hot air heating to ensure that the temperature of the chain plate is equal to the preset temperature before contacting the material and during the material conveying process.

[0030] In some embodiments, a sensor 3 and a controller are also included. The sensor 3 is used to detect the chain plate temperature at the return air outlet 2.4, and the controller is connected to the sensor 3 and the heating unit 2 respectively.

[0031] The temperature sensor 3 is used to monitor the temperature of the chain plate in real time. The temperature sensor 3 is installed at the return air outlet 2.4 of the hot air circulation to accurately measure the temperature of the hot air circulation, thereby ensuring the temperature of the chain plate.

[0032] The controller may be a microcontroller or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The controller receives a signal from the temperature sensor 3 and controls the output power of the heating unit 2 according to a preset temperature value. When the temperature of the chain plate is lower than the preset temperature, the controller increases the output power of the heating unit 2 to increase the temperature of the chain plate; when the temperature of the chain plate is higher than the preset temperature, the controller reduces the output power of the heating unit 2 to reduce the temperature of the chain plate.

[0033] After the equipment is started, it first enters the preheating mode, starts the chain drive 1, the heater 2.2 and the circulating fan 2.3, and preheats the chain. When the preheating temperature reaches the set temperature, it enters the ready state, and the fermentation bed 4 can enter the material to start production.

[0034] After production starts, the temperature value of the chain plate is fed back by the temperature sensor 3 and the heater 2.2 is adjusted through PID control. When the temperature of the chain plate is lower than the preset temperature, the controller will increase the output power of the heater 2.2 to increase the temperature of the chain plate; when the temperature of the chain plate is higher than the preset temperature, the controller will reduce the output power of the heater 2.2 to reduce the temperature of the chain plate.

[0035] When production is finished, the equipment returns to the ready state and determines whether the fermentation bed 4 is in a state that allows production through temperature feedback from the temperature sensor 3, thereby starting the next production. If production is finished, the chain drive 1 and the heater 2.2 stop, and the circulating fan 2.3 keeps running to cool down. When the temperature reaches the set cooling temperature, the equipment stops and ends operation.

[0036] The utility model has a novel structure and strong practicality. The device can prevent the temperature change of the production workshop environment from affecting the temperature of the fermentation bed 4 equipment and the fermentation material, so as to ensure the temperature stability of the fermentation material and the bottom plate of the fermentation bed 4. By real-time monitoring of the chain plate temperature and controlling the output power of the heating unit 2 according to the preset temperature value, the temperature of the chain plate is as close to the preset temperature as possible before contacting the material, thereby ensuring the temperature stability of the material without being affected by the environment or minimizing the impact.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
