[0002] Fermented foods are a type of food created by humans using beneficial microorganisms to create unique flavors that enrich our diets. They primarily include fermented grains, beans, and dairy products. Fermented grain products, such as glutinous rice wine, are representative of granular fermented foods. The production process for glutinous rice wine involves steaming glutinous rice, adding koji, fermenting, and maturation. In industrial production, glutinous rice wine is typically packaged in fixed quantities. Therefore, after the koji is added to the steamed glutinous rice, the rice needs to be compacted, perforated, and then filled into containers. Currently, most rice packaging equipment on the market is used in central kitchens and large canteens. This equipment is limited to packaging and cannot perform the necessary operations for compacting and perforating the rice. After packaging, workers still need to manually compact and perforate the rice. This labor-intensive and inefficient production method precludes automation.

[0003] Based on this, the present application provides a device that can realize compaction, punching and packaging in one, which can realize automated production, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0031] Example 1

[0032] This embodiment provides an integrated device for compacting, punching and packaging granular fermented food. Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, it includes a frame 1, a hopper 2, a stirring device 3, an extrusion die 4, a die clamp 5, a discharge valve 6 and a driving device 7, wherein:

[0033] The hopper 2 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1 and is funnel-shaped. One end of the upper portion is a feed trough 2.1, from which the rice that has been mixed and cooled is fed into the hopper. The other end of the upper portion is provided with a driving portion of a stirring device 3. The stirring shaft 3.1 of the stirring device 3 is provided in the hopper and an extrusion screw is provided on the stirring shaft 3.1. Figure 2As shown, the upper part of the extrusion spiral is conical, and the edge of its blade fits in with the inside of the conical section of the hopper, leaving only a gap to prevent the blade from colliding with the hopper wall when rotating; the lower part of the extrusion spiral is cylindrical, fitting in with the inner wall of the straight section of the hopper. When the extrusion spiral rotates, the rice in the wider area at the upper end of the hopper is drawn in and gradually squeezed into the increasingly narrow space below, thereby being compacted. Then the rice passes through the straight section so that the degree of compaction of the rice from top to bottom is relatively consistent. Preferably, the tail end of the stirring shaft 3.1 extends to the discharge port of the extrusion die at the discharge end of the hopper 2. This design can form fermentation holes during the compaction of the rice. The diameter of the tail end of the stirring shaft 3.1 decreases from top to bottom. This design can facilitate the rapid separation of the compacted rice dough from the stirring shaft.

[0034] The extrusion die 4 is arranged at the discharge end of the hopper 2, and is specifically connected to the discharge end of the hopper by a socket connection. This connection method enables the extrusion die to rotate relative to the hopper. The diameter of the inner cavity of the extrusion die 4 increases from top to bottom. This design can facilitate the compacted rice dough to quickly escape from the die and fall. A plurality of cross bars 4.1 are also provided on the inner wall of the extrusion die 4 near the feed port; preferably, the plurality of cross bars 4.1 are connected to a connecting ring 4.2, and the connecting ring 4.2 is rotatably mounted on the stirring shaft 3.1. This design can drive the cross bars to rotate by rotating the extrusion die, and then use the cross bars to cut the rice dough. Since the rice dough is subjected to the extrusion screw's extrusion action, the rice dough located below the cross bar will always be under pressure, thus eliminating the influence of the cross bar on the rice dough.

[0035] As attached Figure 3 As shown, the mold clamp 5 includes a fixed ring 5.1 installed on the frame 1 and a rotatable movable ring 5.2 provided at the bottom of the fixed ring 5.1. The movable ring 5.2 is provided with multiple locking bolts 5.3. The top of the extrusion mold 4 is inserted into the movable ring 5.2 and locked by multiple locking bolts 5.3, thereby realizing the rotatable fixed installation of the extrusion mold.

[0036] The discharge valve 6 is provided at the discharge end of the extrusion die 4. The discharge valve is a normally closed valve and is opened only when discharging the material.

[0037] The drive device 7 is mounted on the fixed ring 5.1 or the frame 1. Its output shaft is connected to the movable ring 5.2 via a transmission assembly (not shown). Specifically, the transmission assembly can be any of a gear, sprocket, or pulley transmission assembly. In this embodiment, the drive device drives the movable ring, which in turn rotates the extrusion die to achieve rice dough cutting.

[0038] Working Principle: This device uses the extrusion screw of the stirring mechanism to push the rice into the extrusion die and compact it. The tail end of the stirring mechanism's stirring shaft extends into the extrusion die, forming fermentation holes. A valve opening time can be set based on the stirring mechanism's rotational speed. When the set time is reached, the drive mechanism drives the movable ring, causing the extrusion die to rotate, simultaneously opening the valve, and the cut rice dough falls through the discharge valve into the dispensing tank.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Based on the first embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the discharge valve 6 is configured as a rotatable sleeve connection structure with the discharge end of the extrusion die 4. The discharge valve 6 is provided with multiple columns 8, and the other ends of the columns 8 are connected to the fixed ring 5.1. This structure ensures that the discharge valve does not rotate with the extrusion die during rotation.

[0041] Preferably, a pressure sensor 9 is provided between the column 8 and the fixing ring 5.1. Figure 3 As shown, the retaining ring 5.1 is provided with a stepped hole, within which the pressure sensor 9 is mounted. A stopper end plate 8.1 is located at the top of the upright 8, the bottom of which passes through the stepped hole and the pressure sensor 9 and connects to the discharge valve 6. The stepped hole is sealed with a plug 5.4. This embodiment utilizes a pressure sensor to detect pressure signals in real time. When the rice dough reaches a certain compaction level, the drive mechanism and the discharge valve are activated to disconnect the rice dough and open the discharge valve, completing the unloading process.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] Based on the second embodiment, as shown in the attached Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment further utilizes an iris-type discharge valve 6. The inner ring of its drive ring is provided with a groove 6.1, and the bottom outer wall of the extrusion die 4 is provided with a bump 4.3 that matches the groove 6.1. This design utilizes the extrusion die to drive the valve, allowing simultaneous valve opening while cutting the rice. This novel mechanical linkage design eliminates the need for a complex control system.

[0044] In the above embodiment, all actions are controlled by a PLC controller.

[0045] It is worth noting that: when the rice dough is compacted and the extrusion mold is in motion, the stirring device stops stirring until the material is added, at which time the stirring device resumes stirring.

[0046] The utility model uses one device to complete the three working steps of compacting, punching and packaging, which greatly reduces labor costs, improves production efficiency, reduces the risk of contamination by miscellaneous bacteria and thus improves quality stability; the equipment has a simple and compact structure, is easy to clean and maintain, occupies a small area, is highly compatible with other mechanized sweet wine production equipment, and is also suitable for packaging containers of various common specifications, with great production flexibility.

[0047] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
