[0036] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: a fermentation device for sourdough, including a base 1, a transparent fermentation barrel 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a barrel cover 3 is arranged at the top end of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, a cavity 4 is opened on the inner wall of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, a plurality of heating rods 5 are fixedly connected at equal intervals around the inner side of the cavity 4, a temperature sensor 6 is fixedly connected to the left side of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, a servo motor 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top end of the barrel cover 3, the output end of the servo motor 7 penetrates through the barrel cover 3 and is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 8, a discharge port 11 is communicated with the middle of the bottom end of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, the bottom of the discharge port 11 penetrates through the base 1, a piston 12 is arranged at the inner top of the discharge port 11, and a cleaning mechanism 9 is arranged on the outer side of the rotating rod 8;

[0038] Specifically, the temperature sensor 6 can monitor the temperature inside the transparent fermentation barrel 2 in real time and compare it with the preset maximum temperature and minimum temperature. This design cleverly simulates the process of artificial temperature control, but is more accurate and efficient. When the temperature inside the transparent fermentation barrel 2 is lower than the set minimum temperature, the heating rod 5 will be immediately activated to provide the necessary heat for the fermentation process. This intelligent heating method not only avoids the temperature fluctuations that may be caused by traditional heating methods, but also ensures that the sourdough ferments within the optimal temperature range, thus greatly improving the fermentation efficiency. Moreover, through the servo motor 7, the rotation speed and direction of the rotating rod 8 can be precisely controlled, thereby driving the stirring rod 901 to perform efficient stirring. This stirring method can make the flour and water fully mixed evenly, ensuring that every part of the sourdough can obtain sufficient oxygen and nutrients, further improving the fermentation quality.

[0039] Referring to Figure 2 , the cleaning mechanism 9 includes a stirring rod 901 and an arc-shaped scraping plate 902. A plurality of stirring rods 901 are respectively fixedly connected around the outer side of the rotating rod 8, one ends of the plurality of stirring rods 901 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding arc-shaped scraping plate 902, and a cross-shaped scraping plate 903 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the rotating rod 8. The size of the cross-shaped scraping plate 903 matches the diameter of the inner bottom of the transparent fermentation barrel 2;

[0040] Specifically, during the rotation of the stirring rod 901, the arc-shaped scraper 902 is driven to rotate. This design ingeniously utilizes centrifugal force, enabling the arc-shaped scraper 902 to closely adhere to the inner wall of the transparent fermentation barrel 2 for scraping work. In this way, even if the sourdough starter generates a certain viscosity during the fermentation process, it can be effectively scraped off by the arc-shaped scraper 902, preventing it from sticking to the side wall of the transparent fermentation barrel 2. Meanwhile, when the rotating rod 8 rotates, the cross-shaped scraper 903 will also rotate accordingly, thereby being able to scrape the inner bottom of the transparent fermentation barrel 2. This design ensures the uniform distribution of the sourdough starter at the bottom of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, further preventing it from sticking to the bottom wall. This setting not only avoids the waste of the sourdough starter during the fermentation process but also improves the fermentation efficiency, thus enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , at the front side of the top of the barrel lid 3, a feed port 15 is connected. Threaded seals 14 are connected to the outer sides of the ends of the feed port 15 and the discharge port 11 that are far from each other. Inside the lower seal 14, a connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected. The top end of the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston 12;

[0042] Specifically, through the feed port 15, it is convenient to inject fermentation raw materials into the transparent fermentation barrel 2, and through the discharge port 11, it is convenient to collect the fermented sourdough starter. The piston 12 is provided to prevent the fermentation raw materials from entering the discharge port 11 during the fermentation process, which may lead to insufficient stirring.

[0043] Refer to Figure 1 , in the middle of the left side of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, a controller 16 is fixedly connected. The controller 16 is electrically connected to the heating rod 5 and the servo motor 7 respectively. A protective cover 17 is provided outside the controller 16, and one end of the protective cover 17 is rotatably connected to the left side of the transparent fermentation barrel 2;

[0044] Specifically, through the controller 16, the operations of the heating rod 5 and the servo motor 7 can be controlled. The protective cover 17 is provided to protect the controller 16 from being damaged by external factors.

[0045] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , on both the left and right sides of the barrel lid 3, bolts 10 are threadedly connected. One end of each bolt 10 sequentially passes through the barrel lid 3 and the transparent fermentation barrel 2;

[0046] Specifically, by loosening the bolts 10, it is convenient to remove the barrel lid 3 for maintenance work on its bottom structure.

[0047] Refer to Figure 1 , in the middle of the front side of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, a scale 18 is provided;

[0048] Specifically, through the scale 18, the staff can easily obtain the amounts of the injected flour and water source at any time.

[0049] Working principle: When using this device, first unscrew the sealing cover 14 at the top of the feed inlet 15, then inject the flour and water source into the interior of the transparent fermentation barrel 2 through the feed inlet 15 in sequence. Subsequently, screw the sealing cover 14 back on. Then, set the maximum temperature and the minimum temperature suitable for the fermentation of the sourdough starter through the temperature sensor 6. Subsequently, start the heating rod 5 and the servo motor 7. The heating rod 5 can heat the interior of the transparent fermentation barrel 2. When the temperature inside the transparent fermentation barrel 2 exceeds the maximum temperature set by the temperature sensor 6, just turn off the heating rod 5, so that the temperature inside the transparent fermentation barrel 2 can adapt to the temperature for the fermentation of the sourdough starter, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency of the sourdough starter. The servo motor 7 can drive the rotating rod 8 to rotate, and the stirring rod 901 will rotate accordingly, which can make the flour and water fully mixed and stirred evenly, thus improving the fermentation quality and meeting the needs of users. At the same time, when the stirring rod 901 rotates, the arc-shaped scraper 902 will rotate accordingly to scrape the inner wall of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, and the cross-shaped scraper 903 will rotate with the rotation of the rotating rod 8, thereby scraping the inner bottom of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, which can avoid the situation of waste of the sourdough starter caused by the sourdough starter sticking to the side wall and the bottom wall of the transparent fermentation barrel 2, and further improve the practicability of this device.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
