Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable fermentation technology, and more specifically, to a fermentation device for alfalfa sprouts. Background Technology

[0002] Alfalfa sprouts are a common vegetable. They are rich in protein, with a higher content than most vegetables, and have a well-balanced amino acid composition, containing all the essential amino acids. They are also rich in various vitamins, which play an important role in human metabolism, immune regulation, and antioxidation. Alfalfa sprouts are also high in dietary fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, lower cholesterol, and benefit cardiovascular health.

[0003] To enrich the flavor and enhance the nutritional value of alfalfa sprouts, fermentation is often performed. This fermentation process involves adding water, salt, sugar, alcohol, and powdered spices to the fermentation apparatus. These ingredients, when dissolved in water, tend to settle at the bottom, leading to differences in flavor between the upper and lower parts of the sprouts and affecting the overall quality of the fermentation. Therefore, we propose an alfalfa sprout fermentation apparatus. Utility Model Content

The upper end of the fermentation tank 101 is provided with a material inlet 102, and a sealing groove 103 is provided at the upper end of the fermentation tank 101 outside the material inlet 102, and the sealing groove 103 is arranged in a U-shape.

[0023] The spraying mechanism 200 includes a sealing cover 201 and a sealing strip 203 disposed at the lower end of the sealing cover 201. The sealing cover 201 is installed at the upper end of the fermentation tank 101 at the material inlet 102. The sealing strip 203 is snapped into the sealing groove 103. A rectangular tube 204 is provided on the lower end face of the sealing cover 201. Both ends of the rectangular tube 204 are closed. Spray heads 205 are equidistantly disposed at the lower end of the rectangular tube 204.

[0024] The turning mechanism 300 includes a mesh partition 301, a rotating shaft 302, and a turning plate 303. This invention, by incorporating a spraying and turning structure, prevents the water-soluble fermentation raw materials from settling and from constantly changing the position of the alfalfa sprouts through spraying. This ensures that the alfalfa sprouts are evenly contacted with the fermentation liquid, guaranteeing the flavor and quality of the fermented alfalfa sprouts and preventing taste variations.

[0025] Specifically, the fermenter 101 has a series of locking blocks arranged in an array at the upper part of its side end face, and the sealing cover 201 has a series of locking plates 202 arranged in an array on its side end. The locking plates 202 are snapped and fixed onto the locking blocks. The locking plates 202 and the locking blocks are designed to install and fix the sealing cover 201.

[0026] Furthermore, a transfer pump 206 is provided on the side of the fermenter 101. The transfer pump 206 is equipped with a water suction pipe and a transfer pipe. The end of the water suction pipe extends into the fermenter 101 and is located at the bottom of the fermenter 101. The end of the transfer pipe is connected to the rectangular tube 204. The transfer pump 206 is used to transfer the fermentation liquid at the bottom of the fermenter 101 into the rectangular tube 204.

[0027] It is worth noting that the inner wall of the fermentation tank 101 is symmetrically equipped with support plates, and the perforated partition plate 301 is bolted to the upper end of the support plates. The perforated partition plate 301 is U-shaped. The perforated partition plate 301 is used to limit and support the alfalfa sprouts.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that the rotating shaft 302 is rotatably installed inside the fermentation tank 101. A motor 306 is located at the rear end of the fermentation tank 101. The output shaft of the motor 306 is connected to the axis of the rotating shaft 302. Two tilting plates 303 are provided, and the two tilting plates 303 are symmetrically installed on the rotating shaft 302. The operation of the motor 306 can make the rotating shaft 302 rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 302 can make the two tilting plates 303 move along the axis of the rotating shaft 302.

[0029] It is worth noting that the turning plate 303 includes a U-shaped portion 308 and an extension portion 307. The extension portion 307 is located at the end of the U-shaped portion 308 and is arc-shaped. The U-shaped portion 308 and the extension portion 307 of the turning plate 303 form a material cavity 304. The end of one turning plate 303 and the other turning plate 303 form a pick-and-place opening 305. The turning plate 303 can turn the alfalfa, and during the turning process, the alfalfa is located in the material cavity 304, so that the turning plate 303 will not break the alfalfa. This allows the alfalfa in the fermentation tank 101 to continuously change position and evenly contact the fermentation liquid, thus ensuring the fermentation effect of the alfalfa.

[0030] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a cauliflower fermentation device. In use, the sealing cover 201 is opened, and the cauliflower is placed into the material chamber 304 through the inlet 305. Water, sugar, and other raw materials are then added. The sealing cover 201 is then closed, allowing the cauliflower to ferment in the fermentation tank 101. During this process, the water-soluble raw materials remain at the bottom of the fermentation tank 101. The fermentation liquid at the bottom of the fermentation tank 101 is transported to the rectangular tube 204 by the pump 206. The fermentation liquid is sprayed from the spray head 205 onto the cauliflower at the top of the fermentation tank 101. Simultaneously, the motor 306 rotates the rotating shaft 302, causing the turning plate 303 to agitate the cauliflower within the fermentation tank 101, ensuring even contact between the sprayed fermentation liquid and the cauliflower, thus guaranteeing the flavor and quality of the fermented cauliflower. After fermentation is complete, the sealing cover 201 is opened, and the inlet 305 of the turning plate 303 is turned upwards for easy removal of the cauliflower.
