[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the embodiments.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] The present application provides a fermentation corn tablet fermentation bacteria pool, which comprises Figures 1 to 4As shown, including, mounting frame 1 and fermentation tank 2, the existing fermentation corn tablet fermentation bacteria pool also includes the conveying belt, draining machine and so on installed between the mounting frame 1, in use, the corn tablet that has fermented completely falls to the surface of the conveying belt, through the effect of the conveying belt, the corn tablet is transported to the inside of the draining machine, the moisture in the corn tablet is removed through the draining machine, and then the corn tablet is packed through the packing machine, the above are all prior art, and will not be described here;

[0022] The top end of the fermentation tank 2 is provided with a top plate 3, and the inside of the fermentation tank 2 is slidably provided with a baffle 4. The baffle 4 is integrally formed with protrusions on both sides. The inside of the fermentation tank 2 is provided with a sliding groove corresponding to the position outside the protrusions. The cross-sectional area of the baffle 4 is greater than the inner diameter of the fermentation tank 2, so that when the baffle 4 is clamped into the inside of the fermentation tank 2, the inside of the fermentation tank 2 is blocked, so that the corn tablet falls onto the surface of the baffle 4. An oxygen analyzer 8 is fixedly installed on the back of the fermentation tank 2. The probe part of the oxygen analyzer 8 penetrates through the side wall of the fermentation tank 2 and communicates with the inside of the fermentation tank 2. An air inlet 5 is fixedly communicated with one side of the oxygen analyzer 8 on the back of the fermentation tank 2. An air outlet 6 is fixedly communicated with the other side of the oxygen analyzer 8 on the back of the fermentation tank 2. Valves 7 are installed on the outside of the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6. In use, the baffle 4 is pushed to be clamped into the inside of the fermentation tank 2, so as to block the inside of the fermentation tank 2, preventing the corn tablet from falling onto the mounting frame 1. Then the corn tablet to be fermented and the ingredients are put into the inside of the fermentation tank 2. The top plate 3 is closed, and the valves 7 of the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 are opened. Then the inert gas nitrogen is filled into the inside of the fermentation tank 2 along the air inlet 5. Because the molecular weight of the inert gas is small and the density is lower than that of oxygen, when the inert gas is filled into the inside of the fermentation tank 2, the inert gas occupies the space in the inside of the fermentation tank 2 first, so as to replace the oxygen in the inside of the fermentation tank 2. The oxygen concentration displayed on the oxygen analyzer 8 is observed. When the oxygen concentration in the inside of the fermentation tank 2 reaches the anaerobic environment required for corn tablet fermentation, the valves 7 of the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 are closed, so that the inside of the fermentation tank 2 is adapted to the anaerobic environment for corn tablet fermentation, preventing air from directly contacting the microorganisms in the inside of the fermentation tank 2, and ensuring the efficiency and quality of corn tablet fermentation.

[0023] As Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a discharge pipe 9 is installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 2. A side plate 10 is fixedly installed on the outside of the discharge pipe 9. A drive motor 11 is fixedly installed at the top of the side plate 10. A rotating shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 11. An agitator 13 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 12. By starting the drive motor 11, the rotating shaft 12 rotates, driving the agitator 13 to rotate. The number of agitator 13 is set to four sets and is staggered. This allows the agitator 13 to effectively break up the corn flakes stuck inside the discharge pipe 9 during operation, so that the material can fall smoothly along the discharge pipe 9 onto the surface of the conveyor belt, improving the discharge efficiency of the discharge pipe 9.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the end of the rotating shaft 12 away from the drive motor 11 is rotatably connected to the inside of the discharge pipe 9, so that when the rotating shaft 12 rotates, the discharge pipe 9 can provide stable support for the rotating shaft 12, thereby making the rotation of the rotating shaft 12 smoother.

[0025] Working principle: When in use, the baffle 4 is engaged inside the fermentation tank 2, blocking the inside of the fermentation tank 2. The corn flakes and other materials needed for fermentation are placed into the fermentation tank 2. The top plate 3 is closed, and then the valves 7 of the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 are opened to allow inert nitrogen gas to be introduced into the fermentation tank 2 through the air inlet 5. The inert gas inside the fermentation tank 2 preferentially occupies the space inside the fermentation tank 2, allowing the air inside the fermentation tank 2 to be discharged through the air outlet 6. The oxygen concentration value on the oxygen analyzer 8 is observed. When the oxygen concentration reaches the anaerobic environment required for corn flake fermentation, the valves 7 of the air inlet 5 and the air outlet 6 are closed, so that the inside of the fermentation tank 2 is an anaerobic environment filled with inert gas. This prevents air from directly contacting the microorganisms inside the fermentation tank 2, which would affect the fermentation rate of the corn flakes, thereby ensuring the fermentation quality of the corn flakes.

[0026] When the corn flakes fermentation inside the fermentation tank 2 is completed, they are discharged through the discharge pipe 9 onto the conveyor belt surface on the mounting frame 1. By starting the drive motor 11, the rotating shaft 12 drives the stirring blade 13 to rotate, which causes the stirring blade 13 to break up the corn flakes that are blocked inside the discharge pipe 9, preventing excessive corn flakes from accumulating and blocking the opening of the discharge pipe 9, thereby ensuring smooth discharge from the discharge pipe 9 and increasing the corn flake discharge rate.

[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
