Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food processing technology for food and medicine homology, and specifically relates to a fermentation device for traditional Chinese medicine for food and medicine homology processing. Background Technology
[0002] The concept of "medicine and food sharing the same origin" is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. It refers to natural plant resources that have both edible and medicinal functions. Herbal fermentation is a traditional Chinese medicine extraction technique. It is a process of releasing and extracting the effective components of herbs through microbial fermentation. Herbal fermentation usually involves fermenting herbs with specific microorganisms (such as yeast and bacteria) to accelerate the release and transformation of active ingredients in the herbs. This process makes the effective components in herbs easier for the human body to absorb, thereby enhancing the medicinal efficacy and edible value of the herbs. Through herbal fermentation, some natural products in herbs undergo chemical changes under the action of microorganisms, thereby generating new compounds or increasing the content of the original active ingredients.
[0003] Existing technologies typically use fermentation tanks to ferment herbs, storing the fermented liquid together with the fermentation tank. Re-fermenting the herbs requires a new fermentation tank, thus reducing the utilization rate of individual tanks and making it impossible to separately store the fermented liquid. To address this, an improved fermentation device for processing medicinal and edible herbs has been designed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, this utility model provides a fermentation device for processing Chinese herbal medicines used in food processing, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0007] It also includes a pipetting system, the input end of which is connected to the fermentation chamber, and the output end of which is connected to the storage chamber for transferring the fermentation broth in the fermentation chamber to the storage chamber for storage.
[0008] By adopting the above structural design, the herbal fermentation device for food processing with medicinal and edible properties includes a box with fermentation and storage functions. The box is divided into two independent unit spaces by a partition plate, which are used for herbal fermentation and fermentation liquid storage, respectively. It also includes a liquid transfer system for transferring the fermentation liquid in the fermentation chamber to the storage chamber. In this way, the fermentation chamber can be dedicated to fermentation and multiple fermentations can be carried out, thereby improving the utilization rate of the fermentation chamber. The storage chamber and fermentation chamber are set up as an integral part, which reduces the cost of transferring the fermentation liquid.
[0009] Furthermore, the transfer system includes a transfer box and a pump body. A second discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the fermentation chamber, and a second inlet is provided at the top of the fermentation chamber. The transfer box is connected to the second discharge pipe through the inlet pipe. The input end of the pump body is connected to the transfer box. A first inlet is provided at the top of the storage chamber. The pump body is connected to the first inlet through the discharge pipe. A control valve is installed on the second discharge pipe.
[0010] By adopting the above structural design, the liquid transfer system consists of a transfer box, a pump body, and several pipes. The transfer box is equipped with a fermentation mechanism for filtering the medicinal residue in the fermentation broth. The transfer box is connected to the bottom of the fermentation chamber through an inlet pipe, and the storage chamber is connected to the transfer box through the pump body and an outlet pipe, thereby realizing the transfer of the fermentation broth in the fermentation chamber to the storage chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, a first discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the storage cavity, and the first discharge pipe is arranged along the length direction of the storage cavity.
[0012] Furthermore, the volume of the storage chamber is greater than the volume of the fermentation chamber.
[0013] Furthermore, a filter plate is provided in the middle of the fermentation chamber.
[0014] Furthermore, the top of the box is connected to several box covers, and one side of the fermentation chamber is divided into multiple unit fermentation spaces by the box covers.

The storage chamber (22) and the fermentation chamber (23) are set up as one unit, which reduces the cost of transferring the fermentation liquid.
[0017] 2. The transfer system consists of a transfer box (4), a pump body (6) and several pipes. The transfer box (4) is connected to the bottom of the fermentation chamber (23) through the inlet pipe (5). The storage chamber (22) is connected to the transfer box (4) through the pump body (6) and the drain pipe (7), thereby realizing the transfer of fermentation liquid in the fermentation chamber (23) to the storage chamber (22).
