[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the present application.
[0027] Embodiment one: please refer to Figures 1 to 6 :
[0028] The utility model provides a yoghourt fermenter, include: fermenter 1,
[0029] The fermenter 1 outside is equipped with a support frame 2, and the fermenter 1 is used to hold yoghourt, and the support frame 2 is used to support the fermenter 1;The fermenter 1 top is installed with a top cover 3 through the lock catch, and the top cover 3 is used to close the opening of the fermenter 1 top;The fermenter 1 inboard is rotatably installed with a stirring shaft 4, and the stirring shaft 4 is used to support the stirring frame 5;The stirring shaft 4 outside is provided with three groups of six stirring frames 5, and when the hot air flows downward in the stirring shaft 4, it will enter the C-shaped cavity inside the stirring frame 5 and spread heat to the outer wall of the stirring frame 5, and when the stirring frame 5 rotates, it will be in uniform contact with the raw materials such as yoghourt, so as to heat the raw materials;A plurality of stirring teeth 6 are further fixed on the stirring frame 5, and when the stirring shaft 4 drives the stirring frame 5 and the stirring tooth 6 to rotate, the yoghourt in the fermenter 1 can be fully stirred;The fermenter 1 bottom is installed with a motor 7 through the support, and the motor 7 is used to drive the stirring shaft 4 to rotate;The bottom right side of the fermenter 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 8, and after the yoghourt fermentation is completed, the valve on the discharge pipe 8 can be opened, and then the yoghourt will flow out downward through the discharge pipe 8;The top cover 3 top middle position is fixed with an air inlet cover 9, and when fermentation, the pipeline left side of the air inlet cover 9 can be connected with the air outlet of the external hot air blower, and the hot air blown by the hot air blower when working will first enter the cavity inside the air inlet cover 9, and then these hot air will enter the cylindrical groove inside the stirring shaft 4 top end and flow downward.
[0030] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as Figures 2-4As shown, four circular holes are arranged in a ring on the outer wall of the lower position of the stirring shaft 4, and the circular holes on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 4 are located below the bottom outer wall of the fermentation tank 1 after installation. In use, air is blown outwards through the circular holes on the outer wall of the lower part of the stirring shaft 4.
[0031] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stirring frame 5 is a C-shaped plate structure and is symmetrically arranged outside the stirring shaft 4. The stirring frame 5 is internally provided with a C-shaped cavity. When the hot air flows downward in the stirring shaft 4, the hot air enters the C-shaped cavity in the stirring frame 5 and spreads heat to the outer wall of the stirring frame 5. When the stirring frame 5 rotates, it uniformly contacts the raw materials such as yogurt, thereby heating the raw materials.
[0032] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 6 The top end of the main shaft of the motor 7 is provided with a section of hexagonal column, and the bottom end of the stirring shaft 4 is provided with a corresponding hexagonal columnar groove. When the stirring shaft 4 is installed, the bottom end thereof is inserted through the circular hole in the middle of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 and is pushed downward. At this time, the hexagonal column at the top end of the main shaft of the motor 7 is embedded in the hexagonal columnar groove at the bottom end of the stirring shaft 4. Therefore, when the motor 7 rotates, it can drive the stirring shaft 4 to rotate synchronously.
[0033] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stirring shaft 4 is internally provided with four cylindrical grooves, and the four cylindrical grooves are in communication with the C-shaped cavities in the stirring frame 5. After the installation of the stirring shaft 4, the opening at the top end thereof is located in the cavity in the air inlet cover 9. During fermentation, the pipeline on the left side of the air inlet cover 9 is connected to the air outlet of the external hot air blower. When the hot air blower works, the hot air blown out by the hot air blower first enters the cavity in the air inlet cover 9, and then the hot air enters the cylindrical grooves in the stirring shaft 4 through the opening at the top end of the stirring shaft 4 and flows downward. When the hot air flows downward, it enters the C-shaped cavities in the stirring frame 5 and spreads heat to the outer wall of the stirring frame 5.
[0034] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stirring shaft 4 is externally provided with two protruding rings, and the two protruding rings on the outer side of the stirring shaft 4 are in close contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 and the inner wall of the top of the top cover 3 after the assembly of the fermentation tank 1, the top cover 3 and the stirring shaft 4. The protruding rings on the outer side of the stirring shaft 4 can avoid the up-and-down shaking of the stirring shaft 4 when it rotates.
[0035] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 1-6As shown, the stirring teeth 6 are equidistantly arranged between the upper and lower adjacent stirring frames 5 and in the empty slots inside the stirring frames 5, and a layer of rubber is wrapped on the convex ring outer wall outside the stirring shaft 4. Because the stirring teeth 6 on the stirring frames 5 are uniformly distributed, when the stirring shaft 4 drives the stirring frames 5 to rotate, the raw materials can be fully stirred, and the rubber on the convex ring outer wall outside the stirring shaft 4 can enhance the sealing performance.
[0036] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: when the device is used for fermenting yogurt, the fermentation tank 1 is first supported on the ground through the support frame 2, and then the top cover 3 is removed. At this time, the raw materials such as yogurt can be poured into the inside of the fermentation tank 1 through the opening at the top of the fermentation tank 1. After the raw materials are added, the top cover 3 is reinstalled on the top of the fermentation tank 1 and locked. During this process, the top end of the stirring shaft 4 penetrates through the circular hole in the middle of the top of the top cover 3 and is embedded into the cavity inside the air inlet cover 9. Therefore, the cylindrical groove in the stirring shaft 4 is in communication with the cavity inside the air inlet cover 9. When fermentation, the pipeline on the left side of the air inlet cover 9 is connected with the air outlet of the external hot air blower. When the hot air blower works, the hot air blown out by the hot air blower first enters the cavity inside the air inlet cover 9, and then the hot air enters the cylindrical groove inside the stirring shaft 4 through the opening at the top end of the stirring shaft 4 and flows downward. When the hot air flows downward, it enters the C-shaped cavity inside the stirring frame 5 and spreads heat to the outer wall of the stirring frame 5. Finally, the air is blown outwards through the circular holes on the outer wall below the lower part of the stirring shaft 4. At the same time, the motor 7 can be controlled to drive the stirring shaft 4 and the stirring frames 5 outside the stirring shaft 4 to rotate. When the stirring frames 5 rotate, they are in uniform contact with the raw materials such as yogurt, so that the raw materials can be heated. Because the stirring teeth 6 on the stirring frames 5 are uniformly distributed, the raw materials can be fully stirred. After the fermentation of the yogurt is completed, the valve on the discharge pipe 8 can be opened, and then the yogurt flows downward through the discharge pipe 8. When the inside of the fermentation tank 1 needs to be cleaned, the top cover 2 can be removed and the stirring shaft 4 and the stirring frames 5 can be pulled upwards and disassembled, which is more convenient for cleaning.
