Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fermentation, and specifically relates to a fermentation tank for fermented protein. Background Technique

[0002] Fermented protein is a kind of protein made through the fermentation process. This kind of protein is usually extracted from plant or animal sources and then undergoes fermentation treatment. The fermentation process can improve the taste, nutritional value, and digestibility of the protein. Common fermented proteins include soy protein, whey protein, etc. Fermented protein is usually used in the fields of protein supplements, food processing, etc. Fermented protein usually uses plants such as soybeans, peas, broad beans, etc. as raw materials for fermentation. These plants provide rich protein and nutrients. After fermentation treatment, the protein has a better taste and is easier to digest and absorb.

[0003] The utility model patent with the authorization announcement number: CN219032140U discloses a fermentation tank for fermented protein, including: a motor and a discharge pipe. A sealing cover is installed at the lower end of the motor. A feed inlet is opened at the upper left side of the sealing cover. A water inlet pipe is installed at the upper right side of the sealing cover. A tank body is installed on the lower end surface of the sealing cover. An air guide pipe is installed on the upper side of the right end of the tank body. Support feet are installed on the lower end surface of the tank body. A discharge pipe is installed at the middle position of the lower end of the tank body. The tank body includes a shell and a partition net. A heating pipe is installed inside the shell. A sealing insulation layer is installed inside the heating pipe. Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: By using the heating pipe and the stirring blade, the fermentation efficiency of vegetable protein can be improved. By using the strainer, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and clean the inside of the tank body.

[0004] Regarding the above solution: In the reference document, the rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the stirring blade to rotate together to realize the stirring of the fermented material, and by using the heating pipe, the inside of the shell can be heated, so that the temperature inside the shell can reach the appropriate temperature for the fermented material. However, when the fermented material is fermenting, not only the temperature needs to be controlled, but also the humidity needs to be controlled more precisely.

When the stirring rod 33 rotates, it can realize the stirring of the fermentation substances placed inside the housing 2. At the same time, the cover plate 5 can play a closing role on the upper side of the housing 2;

[0027] In addition, the feed pipe 61 facilitates the staff to add materials to the inside of the housing 2. The sealing cover 62 can close the feed pipe 61. The first valve body 91 can be used to discharge the fermented materials. The discharge pipe 92 can control the flow of the first valve body 91. The housing 2 can be connected to the heating plate 42 through the hollow groove 41, and the heating plate 42 can heat the inside of the housing 2, thereby realizing the control of the temperature inside the housing 2. The humidification mechanism 7 can humidify the inside of the housing 2, so that when the humidity inside the housing 2 is low due to the heating of the heating plate 42, the humidity inside the housing 2 can be timely replenished.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5 : The humidification mechanism 7 includes a water tank 71 screwed to the upper side of the base 1. A connecting pipe 73 is screwed inside the water tank 71. A water pump 72 is screwed to the outer side of the connecting pipe 73. One end of the connecting pipe 73 is connected to a corrugated pipe 77. One end of the corrugated pipe 77 is connected to an atomizing nozzle 74. A water inlet pipe 75 is also screwed inside the water tank 71. A humidity monitor 761 is screwed to the upper side of the cover plate 5. The lower side of the humidity monitor 761 is connected to a humidity detection head 762, and one end of the humidity detection head 762 penetrates the cover plate 5.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-7: A connecting groove 111 is provided on the outer side of the housing 2. A tempered transparent glass 112 is connected to the inner side of the housing 2 at the connecting groove 111. A connecting plate 121 is screwed to the outer side of the housing 2. A baffle 122 is slidably sleeved on one side of the connecting plate 121. The baffle 122 is arranged on one side of the connecting groove 111. The housing 2 can connect the tempered transparent glass 112 through the connecting groove 111. The setting of the tempered transparent glass 112 can facilitate the staff to observe the state of the fermented matter inside the housing 2. At the same time, the baffle 122 connected to one side of the connecting plate 121 can block the tempered transparent glass 112, so that the fermented matter inside the housing 2 is not easily exposed to the sun for a long time due to the setting of the tempered transparent glass 112, reducing the situation where the fermented matter cannot ferment smoothly due to the sun exposure.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-7 : A fixing block 131 is screwed to the outer side of the housing 2. A positive magnet 132 is screwed to the inner side of the fixing block 131. An installation groove 133 is provided on one side of the baffle 122. A negative magnet 134 is screwed to the inner side of the baffle 122 at the installation groove 133. And the positive magnet 132 and the negative magnet 134 are magnetically attracted to each other. The housing 2 can play a role in installing and connecting the positive magnet 132 through the fixing block 131. The baffle 122 can connect the negative magnet 134 through the installation groove 133. The magnetic attraction between the negative magnet 134 and the positive magnet 132 enables the baffle 122 to be stably used and blocked when the staff blocks the tempered transparent glass 112 through the baffle 122, and it is not easy to shake.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 : An air inlet pipe 101 is screwed to the upper side of the cover plate 5. A second valve body 102 is screwed to the outer side of the air inlet pipe 101. An air outlet pipe 103 is screwed to the inner side of the housing 2. And one end of the air outlet pipe 103 penetrates through the housing 2. A third valve body 104 is screwed to the outer side of the air outlet pipe 103. The setting of the air outlet pipe 103 enables the gas generated when the fermented matter inside the housing 2 ferments to be discharged smoothly. And the third valve body 104 can control the flow of the air outlet pipe 103. Because some materials need a large amount of oxygen when fermenting, the setting of the air inlet pipe 101 makes it more convenient for the staff to inject oxygen into the inner side of the housing 2 when needed. At the same time, the second valve body 102 can control the flow of the air inlet pipe 101, so that the air inlet pipe 101 can be in a closed state when not in use.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2: A reinforcing block 14 is screwed to the upper side of the cover plate 5, and the reinforcing block 14 is screwed to the outside of the servo motor 31. The reinforcing block 14 can reinforce the servo motor 31 through its connection with the cover plate 5, making the servo motor 31 stable enough during use.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-4 : A first guiding inclined block 81 is screwed to the inside of the housing 2. The first guiding inclined block 81 is arranged outside the rotating rod 32, and the rotating rod 32 is slidably sleeved with the first guiding inclined block 81. A second guiding inclined block 82 is also screwed to the inside of the housing 2. The arrangements of the first guiding inclined block 81 and the second guiding inclined block 82 enable the fermented materials inside the housing 2 to flow out smoothly through the first valve body 91 when they need to be discharged or taken out, and it is not easy for a large amount of fermented materials to remain inside the housing 2.

[0034] Working principle: When the utility model is in use, the staff can add the materials to be fermented into the inside of the housing 2 through the feed pipe 61, and then close the feed pipe 61 through the sealing cover 62. At the same time, the staff can judge whether additional oxygen needs to be added according to the type of the materials. If additional oxygen needs to be added, the second valve body 102 can be opened to open the air inlet pipe 101, and oxygen can be injected into the inside of the housing 2 through the air inlet pipe 101. After that, only the second valve body 102 needs to be closed. At the same time, the third valve body 104 can open the air outlet pipe 103 to keep the air outlet pipe 103 in an open state, facilitating the discharge of gas during the fermentation of the fermented materials.

[0035] After that, the staff can start the servo motor 31. The operation of the servo motor 31 drives the stirring rod 33 to rotate, thereby realizing the stirring of the fermented materials. At the same time, through the operation of the heating plate 42, the temperature inside the housing 2 is heated and controlled. At the same time, the staff can observe and judge the humidity inside the housing 2 through the humidity monitor 761. When the humidity is low, the staff can start the water pump 72. The water pump 72 will pump the water source inside the water tank 71 into the inside of the atomizing nozzle 74 through its own operation, and the water source will be sprayed into the inside of the housing 2 in the form of spray through the atomizing nozzle 74 to realize the humidification of the inside of the housing 2. And the staff can also observe the state of the materials inside the housing 2 in detail through the tempered transparent glass 112.
