Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation cabinet technology, specifically to a fermentation cabinet that is easy to control at a constant temperature. Background Technology

[0002] Fermentation refers to the process by which microorganisms decompose or transform organic matter into desired products through their life activities under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Fermentation is widely used in the food industry, biological industry, and chemical industry, and is one of the basic processes in bioengineering. The main factors controlling the food fermentation process include acidity, alcohol content, the use of microbial strains, temperature, oxygen supply, and salt content. If food fermentation is not controlled, it will lead to food spoilage and the generation of unwanted microorganisms.

[0003] Therefore, to control the temperature and humidity during fermentation, fermentation cabinets are used to maintain a certain temperature and humidity within the food for a period of time, thereby accelerating the growth of microorganisms. However, common fermentation cabinets have a relatively singular heat source, which can lead to inaccuracies in the internal temperature measurement and prevent the achievement of a constant temperature environment. Furthermore, the limited number of temperature measuring points inside the cabinet makes it impossible to fully understand the temperature differences within the cabinet. Therefore, we propose a fermentation cabinet that facilitates constant temperature control to address these issues. Utility Model Content

The hot air inside the upper hot air seat 3 is delivered to the inside of the conveying pipe 23 through the blower 21.

[0025] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, by setting up a structure that facilitates constant temperature, multiple temperature sensors 8 are installed inside the cabinet 1 to monitor the temperature of different areas inside the cabinet 1. By activating the upper hot air seat 3, the hot air from the constant temperature heater 24 inside the upper hot air seat 3 is delivered to the delivery pipe 23 in the inner layer of the cabinet 1 through the blower 21. The hot air is then delivered to different heights inside the cabinet 1 through the hot air outlet 22 on the inner side of the delivery pipe 23, so that the temperature difference inside the cabinet 1 is small, thereby achieving the function of facilitating constant temperature.

[0026] The inner wall of the cabinet 1 is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 5. The top of the front end of the cabinet door 12 is equipped with a light shield 11. The bottom of the light shield 11 is inlaid with an upper metal block 20. The interior of the upper metal block 20 is equipped with a light shield curtain 15. The bottom of the light shield curtain 15 is equipped with a sliding crossbar 18. The interior of the sliding crossbar 18 is equipped with a main magnetic block 17. The front ends of the cabinet door 12 are provided with side grooves 16 on both sides. The bottom of the front end of the cabinet door 12 is equipped with a fixed bottom block 13. The top of the fixed bottom block 13 is inlaid with a lower metal block 19.

[0027] The sliding crossbar 18 causes the blackout curtain 15 to stretch at the bottom of the blackout base 11. The blackout curtain 15 covers the front end of the cabinet door 12 through the side groove 16. The main magnetic block 17 inside the sliding crossbar 18 magnetically attracts the lower metal block 19 on the top of the fixed base block 13.

[0028] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, by setting up a light-shielding and disinfection structure, when in use, the cabinet door 12 at the front of the cabinet 1 is flipped open, and the sliding crossbar 18 below the light-shielding seat 11 at the top of the front of the cabinet door 12 is separated from the light-shielding seat 11. The light-shielding curtain 15 inside the light-shielding seat 11 is pulled out from the bottom through the sliding crossbar 18, allowing the light-shielding curtain 15 to cover the glass at the front of the cabinet door 12 through the side groove 16. Then, the main magnetic block 17 inside the sliding crossbar 18 is magnetically attracted to the lower metal block 19 at the top of the fixed base block 13, fixing the light-shielding curtain 15 to the front of the cabinet door 12. After the cabinet door 12 is covered to the front of the cabinet 1, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 5 inside the cabinet 1 is activated through the control panel 2, allowing the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 5 to disinfect the inside of the cabinet 1, thereby realizing the light-shielding and disinfection function.

[0030] The side drain outlet 26 on the right side of the cabinet 1 is connected to the bottom support groove 10 inside the cabinet 1, and the upper drain net 25 is snapped onto the top of the bottom support groove 10.

[0031] Specifically, if Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, by setting up a moisture-retaining drainage structure, the fermentation cabinet needs to maintain a high humidity during use. Therefore, before using the fermentation cabinet, water can be poured into the bottom tray 10 at the bottom of the cabinet 1. After that, the upper drain net 25 is covered on top of the bottom tray 10. Items can be placed on top of the bottom tray 10 to increase the humidity inside the cabinet 1 with the water inside the bottom tray 10. After use, the water inside the bottom tray 10 is drained through the side drain outlet 26 on the right side of the cabinet 1, thus achieving the moisture-retaining drainage function.

The sliding crossbar 18 below the light-shielding seat 11 at the top of the front of the cabinet door 12 is separated from the light-shielding seat 11. The light-shielding curtain 15 inside the light-shielding seat 11 is pulled out from the bottom through the sliding crossbar 18, allowing the light-shielding curtain 15 to cover the glass at the front of the cabinet door 12 through the side groove 16. Then, the main magnet inside the sliding crossbar 18 is... The suction block 17 magnetically attracts the lower metal block 19 on the top of the fixed base block 13, fixing the light-blocking curtain 15 to the front end of the cabinet door 12. After the cabinet door 12 covers the front end of the cabinet body 1, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 5 inside the cabinet body 1 is activated through the control panel 2 to disinfect the inside of the cabinet body 1. Then, the cabinet door 12 is opened from the front end of the cabinet body 1, and the light-blocking curtain 15 is retracted into the light-blocking base 11. The sliding crossbar 18 then connects with the light-blocking curtain through the main magnetic suction block 17. The upper metal block 20 at the bottom of the seat 11 is magnetically attracted, and then the upper drain net 25 is covered on the top of the bottom tray 10. Then the shelf 7 is snapped and fixed on the side fixing groove 6 inside the cabinet 1. Then the fermentation items are placed on the shelf 7 and the top of the bottom tray 10. The constant temperature heater 24 and temperature sensor 8 inside the cabinet 1 are started through the control panel 2. Multiple temperature sensors 8 are installed inside the cabinet 1 to monitor the temperature of different areas inside the cabinet 1. By starting the upper hot air seat 3, the hot air of the constant temperature heater 24 inside the upper hot air seat 3 is delivered to the delivery pipe 23 in the inner layer of the cabinet 1 through the blower 21. The hot air is delivered to different heights inside the cabinet 1 through the hot air port 22 inside the delivery pipe 23, so that the temperature difference inside the cabinet 1 is small. Then the air inside the cabinet 1 is drawn into the upper hot air seat 3 through the air inlet grille 4 at the front and rear ends of the upper hot air seat 3 by the blower 21 and heated to achieve hot air circulation inside the cabinet 1.
