Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-temperature fermentation, in particular to a low-temperature fermentation room for sterilizing yogurt. Background Art

[0002] The production process of yogurt can be summarized as several steps: batching, preheating, homogenization, sterilization, cooling, inoculation, (filling: for set yogurt), fermentation, cooling, (stirring: for stirred yogurt), packaging and post-ripening. Among them, the fermentation process is indispensable. Fermentation mainly allows the organic matter in the yogurt to decompose, thereby making its texture firm and greatly improving the stability of the yogurt quality.

[0003] The China Patent Network has published a low-temperature fermentation room for yogurt sterilization, with publication number CN216255153U. The room includes a housing body, a sterilization mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism disposed on the housing body. A mounting slot is provided on one side of the housing body's outer wall. The sterilization mechanism includes an ion blower, a first connecting pipe, a folding hose, a second connecting pipe, an air outlet hopper, a lamp base, and an ultraviolet lamp. The ion blower is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the housing body, with the ion blower outlet end connected to one end of the first connecting pipe. The adjustment mechanism includes a slider, a slide rod, a screw, a fixed bearing, and a drive motor. The second connecting pipe is sheathed with a slider, a slide groove is provided within the slider, and a slide rod is movably disposed within the slide groove. In this utility model, air is ionized by the negative ions of the ion blower before entering the housing body, preventing the entry of external pathogens. Static electricity on dust is also eliminated, preventing it from adsorbing on the pipes and breeding bacteria. This significantly improves the sterilization effect within the fermentation room.

[0004] The above patent can ventilate the fermentation room, but it cannot regulate the temperature of the internal environment of the fermentation room, and cannot maintain the low-temperature environment required for low-temperature yogurt fermentation. Excessively high ambient temperature will cause the yogurt to deteriorate, so a low-temperature fermentation room for yogurt sterilization is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example 2

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that the constant temperature mechanism 3 includes a condensing water tank 31, a condensing water pipe 34 and a return pipe 35.
