In actual application, the staff usually uses spoons, material taking pipes, etc. to add lactic acid bacteria raw materials into the tank body.

[0068] By using the above-mentioned method for taking materials, the amount of each feeding cannot be accurately controlled, the precise proportion of the input raw materials cannot be ensured, and thus the fermentation speed of lactic acid bacteria and the quality of the product are affected.

[0069] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, this embodiment provides a fermentation device 100 with a quantitative feeding function, which includes a tank body 30, and a quantitative feeder 10 arranged on the tank body 30 for quantitative feeding. The quantitative feeder 10 includes a mounting frame 106, and the mounting frame 106 is fixedly installed on the tank body 30 through fastening screws. A hopper 105 for storing materials is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 106 through fastening screws. The hopper 105 is composed of an inner and an outer layer of hoppers. The outlet end of the outer layer of hopper is communicated with a feeding pipe 108, and the feeding pipe 108 passes through the tank body 30 and extends into the tank body 30.

[0070] Referring to Figure 2 shown, the quantitative feeder 10 further includes a machine body 103, and a driving system 102 is fixedly installed on the machine body 103 at a position far from the hopper 105 through fastening screws. The driving end of the driving system 102 passes through the machine body 103 and is connected to a rotating shaft 107 through a bearing assembly, and a feeding disk 504 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 107 through fastening bolts.

[0071] In this embodiment, in actual application, the driving system is preferably a planetary gear motor. By starting the driving system, the driving system drives the rotating shaft 107 to rotate, and then drives the feeding disk 504 on the rotating shaft 107 to rotate.

[0072] Further, the blanking tray 504 is located at the connection position between the inner hopper and the outer hopper. A rubber ring is adhesively installed on the outer wall of the blanking tray, and the rubber ring abuts against the inner wall of the inner hopper. Thereby, the sealing performance between the blanking tray and the inner hopper is improved, preventing materials from falling into the lower outer hopper through the gap between the blanking tray and the inner hopper.

[0073] Further, a weighing sensor 70 is provided on the blanking tray 504 by means of fixed connection such as fastening screws. The weighing sensor 70 is preferably a weighing sensor of the BM series. The blanking tray 504 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 107 through fasteners. The weight of the materials falling on the blanking tray is detected by the weighing sensor.

[0074] Further, at least one set of blanking troughs 506 is formed on the blanking tray 504, and the blanking troughs 506 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction thereof.

[0075] Refer to Figure 2 As shown, a hydraulic cylinder 101 is fixedly installed on the machine body 103 at a position far from the hopper 105 through fastening screws. The hydraulic cylinder 101 is provided with a telescopic end 104, and a SICK series of micro vision detection sensors are provided on the telescopic end 104. And an arc-shaped plate 502 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end 104 at a position far from the hydraulic cylinder 101 through fastening screws. At least one set of connecting rods 501 are provided on the arc-shaped plate 502. A baffle 505 is provided on the connecting rod 501 at a position far from the arc-shaped plate 502, and the baffle 505 and the connecting rod 501 are detachably connected.

[0076] Further, the arc surface of the baffle 505 abuts against the arc surface of the blanking trough 506, and the baffle 505 extends into the blanking trough 506 and is snap-connected.

[0077] In this embodiment, by starting the drive system 102, the drive system 102 is used to drive the rotating shaft 107 to rotate, thereby driving the blanking tray 504 provided on the rotating shaft to rotate. When the blanking trough 506 rotates to a position corresponding to the baffle 505, the hydraulic cylinder 101 is started at this time. At this time, the telescopic end 104 of the hydraulic cylinder 101 extends, thereby driving the arc-shaped plate to move towards the blanking tray 504 until the baffle 505 snaps into the blanking trough 506 for snap connection.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2As shown, the discharge port of the outer hopper is connected to the blanking pipe 108. The blanking pipe 108 passes through the mounting plate 1061 of the mounting frame 106 and is fixedly installed on the outer hopper through the mounting plate 1061, thereby realizing the connection between the blanking pipe and the outer hopper. The other end of the blanking pipe 108 extends into the tank.

[0079] Furthermore, the feed inlet of the inner hopper is connected to the feed pipe 109.

[0080] In this embodiment, the overall structure of the present utility model is simple and can accurately achieve quantitative feeding. Furthermore, the accurate proportion of the input raw materials can be ensured, and the quality of the product can be improved. During actual application, the drive system 102 is started, and the drive system 102 is used to drive the rotation shaft 107 to rotate, thereby driving the blanking disk 504 provided on the rotation shaft to rotate. When the blanking trough 506 rotates to a position corresponding to the baffle 505; at this time, the hydraulic cylinder 101 is started, and the telescopic end 104 of the hydraulic cylinder 101 extends out, thereby driving the arc plate to move towards the position of the blanking disk 504 until the baffle 505 is clamped into the blanking trough 506 for snap connection, and the blanking trough is closed;

[0081] Then, the lactic acid bacteria raw material is put into the feed pipe 109 and is transported to the inner hopper through the feed pipe 109. When the lactic acid bacteria raw material falls onto the blanking disk 504, the weighing sensor on the blanking disk detects the lactic acid bacteria raw material at the same time. When the preset value is reached, at this time, the hydraulic cylinder 101 drives the telescopic end 104 to retract, thereby driving the baffle away from the blanking trough until the side end face of the arc plate abuts against the feed inlet of the feed pipe 109. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder is closed, and the feed inlet of the feed pipe is blocked by the arc plate;

[0082] At the same time, the lactic acid bacteria raw material on the blanking disk enters the outer hopper through the blanking trough 506 and is transported to the tank through the blanking pipe.

[0083] During actual application, due to the light weight of the lactic acid bacteria raw material, the lactic acid bacteria raw material falling into the outer hopper cannot all be transported into the blanking pipe. To solve the above problem, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As described, the air inlet of the outer hopper is connected to the air inlet pipe 602 and is connected to the external gas transmission equipment through the air inlet pipe 602; a booster pump 601 is installed on the air inlet pipe 602, and the booster pump 601 is preferably a variable frequency booster pump. The gas is compressed to a higher pressure by the booster pump, so that the gas pressure transported into the outer hopper is greater.

[0084] Further, at least one set of connecting air pipes 1062 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 1061, and one end of the connecting air pipe 1062 extends into the blanking pipe 108, and the other end of the connecting air pipe 1062 is connected to the air inlet pipe 602 through a sealing connector.

[0085] In this embodiment, a booster pump is used to compress the gas to a higher pressure, and then the high-pressure gas is delivered into the outer hopper. The lactic acid bacteria raw material in the outer hopper is blown into the blanking pipe 108 by the high-pressure gas, and the lactic acid bacteria raw material falling into the blanking pipe 108 is blown into the tank through the connecting air pipe.

[0086] Usage process and working principle of the present utility model:

[0087] When the present utility model is in use, the driving system 102 is started, and the driving system 102 is used to drive the rotating shaft 107 to rotate, thereby driving the blanking disk 504 arranged on the rotating shaft to rotate. When the blanking trough body 506 rotates to a position corresponding to the baffle 505; at this time, the hydraulic cylinder 101 is started, and the telescopic end 104 of the hydraulic cylinder 101 extends out, thereby driving the arc-shaped plate to move towards the position of the blanking disk 504 until the baffle 505 is clamped into the blanking trough body 506 for snap connection, and the blanking trough body is closed;

[0088] Then, the lactic acid bacteria raw material is put into the feeding pipe 109 and is delivered to the inner hopper through the feeding pipe 109. When the lactic acid bacteria raw material falls onto the blanking disk 504, the weighing sensor on the blanking disk detects the lactic acid bacteria raw material. When the preset value is reached, at this time, the hydraulic cylinder 101 drives the telescopic end 104 to retract, thereby driving the baffle to leave the blanking trough body until the side end face of the arc-shaped plate abuts against the feeding port of the feeding pipe 109. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder is closed, and the feeding port of the feeding pipe is blocked by the arc-shaped plate;

[0089] Meanwhile, the lactic acid bacteria raw material on the blanking disk enters the outer hopper through the blanking trough body 506; then, a booster pump is used to compress the gas to a higher pressure, and then the high-pressure gas is delivered into the outer hopper. The lactic acid bacteria raw material in the outer hopper is blown into the blanking pipe 108 by the high-pressure gas, and the lactic acid bacteria raw material falling into the blanking pipe 108 is blown into the tank through the connecting air pipe.

[0090] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and are not restrictive. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that any modification or equivalent replacement of the technical solutions of the present utility model does not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
