[0002] Buckwheat tea is a beverage made primarily from buckwheat. Buckwheat is divided into sweet buckwheat and bitter buckwheat. Bitter buckwheat is rich in rutin (also known as VP or rutin) and niacin (vitamin PP), containing 13.5 times more than ordinary buckwheat. Bitter buckwheat and its products have the effects of lowering blood sugar and blood lipids, and enhancing human immunity. They have an auxiliary therapeutic effect on patients with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, and stroke. Buckwheat tea, made through careful selection, fermentation, roasting, and grinding of buckwheat, retains the rich flavor and natural aroma of buckwheat. In existing technologies, during the fermentation process of buckwheat tea piled up in equipment, effective stirring of the buckwheat tea is impossible, resulting in differences in temperature and humidity between the inside and outside of the buckwheat tea particles. This leads to poor uniformity in the fermentation process, affecting the quality and efficiency of the buckwheat tea fermentation. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] In the existing technology, during the fermentation process of buckwheat tea piled up in the equipment, the buckwheat tea cannot be effectively stirred, resulting in differences in temperature and humidity inside and outside the buckwheat tea particles. This leads to poor uniformity in the fermentation of buckwheat tea, affecting the quality and efficiency of the fermentation process.

[0019] In view of this, the present invention provides an oxidation fermentation device for buckwheat tea processing. Through the cooperation of a cabinet, cabinet door, controller, support frame, support wheels, rotating frame, tray, metal mesh, first gear, drive shaft, second gear, servo motor, crossbar, stirring rod, and servo stepper motor, a multi-layered supporting and rotating structure is set inside the cabinet. Driven by the servo motor, each rotating frame can drive the tray to rotate smoothly. During rotation, the stirring rod effectively turns the buckwheat tea in each position, ensuring that the buckwheat tea is heated evenly and fermented fully. This avoids the problems of localized overheating or uneven fermentation that may occur in traditional fermentation processes, thus improving the quality and efficiency of buckwheat tea fermentation.

[0020] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.

[0021] Depend on Figure 1-5 It is known that an oxidative fermentation device for buckwheat tea processing includes a cabinet 1, a cabinet door 2 on the front of the cabinet 1, a controller 3 installed on the outer wall of the cabinet door 2, support frames 4 fixedly connected at equal intervals to the inner wall of the cabinet 1, a rotating frame 6 on the inner side of the support frame 4, and support wheels 5 rotatably connected at equal intervals on the side of the support frame 4 near the rotating frame 6. The support wheels 5 are connected to the rotating frame 6, and a support tray 7 is connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 6. A metal mesh 8 is provided at the bottom of the support tray 7 to improve the air permeability of the bottom of the support tray 7 and ensure the delivery of steam and oxygen to the interior of the support tray 7. A first gear is provided on the outer wall of the rotating frame 6. 9. A drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected to one side of the cabinet 1. A second gear 11 is installed at equal intervals on the outer wall of the drive shaft 10. The second gear 11 meshes with the first gear 9. A servo motor 12 is installed on the top of the cabinet 1. The output end of the servo motor 12 is connected to the drive shaft 10. A crossbar 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the cabinet 1 above the support tray 7. A stirring bar 14 is installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the crossbar 13. A servo stepper motor 15 is installed on the outside of the cabinet 1 at one end of the crossbar 13. The servo stepper motor 15 is connected to the crossbar 13. Both the servo motor 12 and the servo stepper motor 15 are electrically connected to the controller 3.

[0022] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the cooperation between cabinet 1 and cabinet door 2 forms the shell structure of the oxidation fermentation equipment. By locking cabinet door 2, a sealed environment is formed inside cabinet 1. Controller 3 is used to precisely regulate various parameters within the oxidation fermentation equipment, ensuring that microorganisms carry out efficient biotransformation under optimal conditions. Simultaneously, it controls various electrical components. Through the cooperation between cabinet 1, support frame 4, support wheels 5, rotating frame 6, and support tray 7, the support frame 4 and support wheels 5 support the rotating frame 6 inside cabinet 1, forming a multi-layered support and rotation structure inside cabinet 1. This allows each layer of rotating frame 6 to drive the support tray 7 to rotate between the support frames 4, and the support tray 7 can be rotated... The internal parts of the rotating frame 6 are removed to improve the convenience of loading and unloading buckwheat tea granules. The metal mesh 8 is used to improve the air permeability of the bottom of the tray 7, ensuring the delivery of steam and oxygen into the tray 7. Through the cooperation between the cabinet 1, controller 3, support frame 4, support wheel 5, rotating frame 6, tray 7, first gear 9, drive shaft 10, second gear 11 and servo motor 12, the servo motor 12 is controlled to drive the drive shaft 10 to rotate. The meshing between the first gear 9 and the second gear 11 achieves smooth rotation of the rotating frame 6 and the tray 7. Through the cooperation between the cabinet 1, tray 7, crossbar 13 and stirring rod 14, and by setting the crossbar 13 above the tray 7, during the rotation of the tray 7, the bottom of the crossbar 13... The stirring rod 14 stirs the buckwheat tea in the tray 7. The stirring rods 14 on both sides of the bottom of the crossbar 13 are asymmetrically designed, and their surfaces are textured with anti-slip material, ensuring that the buckwheat tea in all positions is effectively turned. This guarantees even heating and full fermentation, avoiding localized overheating or uneven fermentation problems that may occur in traditional fermentation processes. This achieves a more refined mixing and more uniform fermentation of the buckwheat tea. Through the coordination between the cabinet 1, controller 3, crossbar 13, stirring rod 14, and servo stepper motor 15, when the tray 7 is placed or removed, the servo stepper motor 15 is controlled to rotate the crossbar 13 90 degrees, preventing the stirring rod 14 from obstructing the tray 7 and facilitating the placement and removal of the tray 7. The process is smooth and unobstructed. After the tray 7 is placed in, the servo stepper motor 15 is controlled to insert the end of the stirring rod 14 into the buckwheat tea inside the tray 7. Through the cooperation of the cabinet 1, cabinet door 2, controller 3, support frame 4, support wheels 5, rotating frame 6, tray 7, metal mesh 8, first gear 9, drive shaft 10, second gear 11, servo motor 12, crossbar 13, stirring rod 14, and servo stepper motor 15, and by setting up a multi-layered support and rotating structure inside the cabinet 1, each layer of rotating frame 6 can drive the tray 7 to rotate smoothly under the drive of the servo motor 12. During the rotation, the stirring rod 14 effectively turns the buckwheat in each position to ensure that the buckwheat tea is heated evenly and fermented fully.To avoid problems such as localized overheating or uneven fermentation that may occur in traditional fermentation processes, and to improve the quality and efficiency of buckwheat tea fermentation, the specific models of controller 3, servo motor 12, and servo stepper motor 15 are not limited, as long as they meet the usage requirements;

[0023] Furthermore, an oxygen supply pipe 16 is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and a steam generator 17 is provided at the back of the cabinet 1. The output end of the steam generator 17 is connected to a first steam pipe 18 at equal intervals. A second steam pipe 19 is provided inside the cabinet 1 on one side below the support tray 7. The second steam pipe 19 is connected to the first steam pipe 18. The top of both the oxygen supply pipe 16 and the second steam pipe 19 are provided with air outlets 20 at equal intervals. A regulating valve 21 is installed at the end of the second steam pipe 19 near the first steam pipe 18. The steam generator 17 is electrically connected to the controller 3.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that, through the coordination between the cabinet 1, the oxygen supply pipe 16, and the air outlet 20, the oxygen concentration inside the oxidation fermentation equipment is measured, and the oxidation fermentation equipment automatically controls the oxygen supply device to deliver oxygen or air to the interior of the cabinet 1 through the oxygen supply pipe 16, so that the oxygen concentration inside the oxidation fermentation equipment is maintained within the optimal range suitable for buckwheat tea fermentation. Through the coordination between the cabinet 1, the steam generator 17, the first steam pipe 18, the second steam pipe 19, the air outlet 20, and the regulating valve 21, the steam generated by the steam generator 17 passes through the first steam pipe 18 and... The second steam pipe 19 delivers steam into the interior of cabinet 1 and evenly sprays it out through vents 20 to the bottom of each tray 7. The steam flow and temperature are precisely controlled within the optimal range for microbial growth, providing a safe and efficient growth environment for microorganisms and ensuring the smooth progress of the buckwheat tea fermentation process. Furthermore, the second steam pipes 19 are spaced apart on both sides of the interior of cabinet 1, and the steam delivery volume is precisely controlled by regulating valves 21. This allows for adjustment of the steam delivery volume of the second steam pipes 19 according to their location, creating a stable and balanced temperature and humidity field inside the oxidation fermentation device. The efficient use of steam ensures that the buckwheat tea on each tray 7 receives consistent and suitable fermentation conditions, preventing uneven fermentation due to localized temperature differences or humidity variations. Through the coordination of the cabinet 1, oxygen supply pipe 16, steam generator 17, first steam pipe 18, second steam pipe 19, vent 20, and regulating valve 21, oxygen and steam are supplied to the interior of the cabinet 1 via the oxygen supply pipe 16 and second steam pipe 19. This precisely regulates the temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration inside the cabinet 1, maintaining the oxidation fermentation equipment in the optimal environment for buckwheat tea fermentation, ensuring the fermentation process is successful. The buckwheat tea fermentation process proceeds smoothly, and the second steam pipes 19 are distributed at intervals on both sides inside the cabinet 1. The steam delivery volume is precisely controlled by the regulating valve 21. The steam delivery volume of the second steam pipes 19 can be adjusted according to different positions, so that a stable and balanced temperature and humidity field is formed inside the oxidation fermentation device, optimizing the utilization efficiency of steam and ensuring that the buckwheat tea on each tray 7 can obtain consistent and suitable fermentation conditions, avoiding uneven fermentation due to local temperature differences or uneven humidity. The specific model of the steam generator 17 is not limited, as long as it meets the usage requirements.

[0025] Furthermore, an exhaust pipe 22 is connected to the top side of the cabinet 1. The exhaust pipe 22 is used for exhausting the oxidative fermentation equipment. A drain pipe 23 is connected to the bottom of the cabinet 1. The drain pipe 23 is used to drain the condensate that accumulates at the bottom of the oxidative fermentation equipment.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the exhaust pipe 22 is used for exhausting the oxidative fermentation equipment, so as to discharge the carbon dioxide and other gases produced during the fermentation process in a timely manner, avoid the formation of a high-pressure environment inside the oxidative fermentation equipment, and prevent the impact on the activity of microorganisms. The drain pipe 23 is used to drain the condensate that accumulates at the bottom inside the oxidative fermentation equipment.

[0027] Furthermore, a fermentation environment measurement module 24 is installed on the top of the inner wall of cabinet 1, and the fermentation environment measurement module 24 is electrically connected to the controller 3;

[0028] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the fermentation environment measurement module 24 is used to measure indicators such as temperature, humidity, air pressure and oxygen concentration during buckwheat tea fermentation, and transmits the measurement data to the controller 3 in real time, so that staff can monitor and adjust the fermentation process in a timely manner to ensure the accuracy of the buckwheat tea fermentation process.

[0029] Furthermore, the top of the rotating frame 6 is equidistantly connected with fixing clips 25, which are connected to the support tray 7.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the rotating frame 6, the tray 7 and the fixing card 25, after the tray 7 is placed inside the rotating frame 6, the fixing card 25 is rotated so that the bottom of the fixing card 25 abuts against the tray 7, thereby limiting the tray 7 and improving the stability of the tray 7 when it rotates.
