[0026] Specifically, when it is necessary to speed up the fermentation rate of the material, the motor 5 drives the central shaft 6 to rotate through the output end, and the central shaft 6 works in conjunction with the stirring roller 8, and the stirring roller 8 then drives the plowshare 9 to rotate to ensure that the material is evenly mixed and stirred, which ensures the uniformity and consistency inside the material. At the same time, the air pump 12 ventilates the interior of the central shaft 6 through the air pipe 13, and the vent 7 ensures that the gas inside the tank body 1 can be fully exchanged, increasing the oxygen content in the tank body 1, which helps to speed up the activation fermentation process and accelerate the metabolic reaction. At the same time, the heating tube 14 is used to heat the inside of the tank body 1, which can control the temperature of the material and provide an ideal fermentation environment. Temperature control not only affects the fermentation rate, but also affects the microbial activity and product quality, ensuring an efficient, stable and controllable fermentation process, thereby improving the overall production efficiency and product quality.
[0027] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 The outer wall of the fermentation plate 10 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 15, and the output end of the cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 16; the interior of the fermentation plate 10 is slidably connected to a left-right symmetrical baffle 17, and the outer wall of the connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the left baffle 17; a limiting spring 18 is provided inside the fermentation plate 10, one end of the limiting spring 18 is fixedly connected to the interior of the fermentation plate 10, and the other end of the limiting spring 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle 17; the outer wall of the baffle 17 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 21, and the outer wall of the rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected to a movable plate 19; the outer wall of the movable plate 19 is slidably connected to a turntable 20, and the outer wall of the turntable 20 is rotatably connected to the interior of the fermentation plate 10; the interior of the turntable 20 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 22, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 22 is rotatably connected to the interior of the fermentation plate 10;
[0028] Specifically, when it is necessary to change the layer of the material, the cylinder 15 pulls the left baffle 17 through the connecting rod 16 through the output end, and the left baffle 17 drives the turntable 20 to rotate through the movable plate 19, and at the same time affects the movable plate 19 and baffle 17 on the other side, and finally makes the two baffles 17 completely slide into the interior of the fermentation plate 10. This process ensures that the discharge port 11 can be fully opened. Subsequently, the plow head 9 continuously pushes the material. This pushing action causes the material to fall along the discharge port 11 to the next layer, completing the layer changing operation. At this time, the discharge port 11 can be opened or closed as needed, which is convenient for controlling the fermentation progress of each layer of material and maintaining the stability of the fermentation environment, thereby realizing rapid layer changing of materials in the fermentation tank, which not only improves the convenience of operation, but also effectively optimizes material management and production efficiency during the fermentation process.
[0029] Working principle: When the fermentation rate of the material needs to be accelerated, the output end of the motor 5 drives the central shaft 6 to rotate, so that the central shaft 6 can cooperate with the stirring roller 8 to drive the plowshare 9 to rotate, thereby fully stirring the material. At the same time, the air pump 12 ventilates the interior of the central shaft 6 through the air pipe 13, so that the central shaft 6 can exchange the gas inside the tank body 1 through the vent 7, thereby increasing the oxygen content inside the tank body 1 and accelerating the fermentation of the material. The interior of the tank body 1 can be heated by the heating pipe 14, thereby achieving the effect of accelerating the fermentation rate of the material and improving the efficiency of the fermentation tank. When it is needed When changing layers of materials, the connecting rod 16 is used to pull the left baffle 17 through the output end of the cylinder 15, so that the left baffle 17 can drive the turntable 20 to rotate through the movable plate 19, and then drive the movable plate 19 and the baffle 17 on the other side to move, until the two baffles 17 completely slide into the interior of the fermentation plate 10, and then the discharge port 11 is opened, and then the plow head 9 continuously pushes the material so that the material can fall along the discharge port 11 to the lower layer, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the opening or closing of the discharge port 11, facilitating the layer change and fermentation of the material, and improving the practicality of the fermentation tank.
