[0025] A first transmission assembly 5 is arranged between the upper cover 2 and the stirring assembly 7, which is used to drive the stirring shaft 701 to rotate and stir the probiotic fermentation while revolving around the central axis of the tank body 1. The first transmission assembly 5 includes a mounting seat 501, which is fixedly installed on the top end of the upper cover 2 and located on one side of a driving assembly 8. A first shaft sleeve 502 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the mounting seat 501. A first bevel gear 503 is sleeved on one end of the first shaft sleeve 502. A connecting rod 505 is connected to the outer wall of the other end of the first shaft sleeve 502. A first gear 504 is connected to the outer wall of the first shaft sleeve 502. The first gear 504 is located on one side of the connecting rod 505. A first shaft rod 506 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 505. A second gear 507 is connected to one end of the first shaft rod 506. The lower end of the first shaft rod 506 is integrally formed with the upper end of the stirring shaft 701. The second gear 507 is engaged with the first gear 504. An inner gear 508 is fixedly connected to the top end of the inner groove 4. The inner gear 508 is engaged with the second gear 507.

[0026] The second transmission assembly 6 is arranged between the first transmission assembly 5 and the stirring assembly 7, and drives the stirring paddle 703 to rotate reversely relative to the stirring shaft 701 while the first transmission assembly 5 drives the stirring shaft 701 to rotate, so as to avoid water vortex when the probiotic fermentation liquid is stirred; the second transmission assembly 6 comprises a second shaft 601, the top end of the second shaft 601 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting seat 501, the second shaft 601 is rotatably connected with the first shaft sleeve 502, the lower end of the second shaft 601 is connected with a third gear 603, the lower end of the first shaft 506 is rotatably connected with a second shaft sleeve 604, the outer wall of the upper end of the second shaft sleeve 604 is fixedly connected with a fourth gear 605, and the fourth gear 605 is engaged with the third gear 603

[0027] The driving assembly 8 is arranged between the first transmission assembly 5 and the second transmission assembly 6, and is used for simultaneously driving the first transmission assembly 5 and the second transmission assembly 6 to drive the stirring paddle 703 and the stirring shaft 701 to rotate and stir; the driving assembly 8 comprises a motor 801 arranged on the top end of the upper cover 2 and located on one side of the mounting seat 501, and a third bevel gear 802 connected to the output end of the motor 801, the third bevel gear 802 is engaged with the first bevel gear 503, and the third bevel gear 802 is engaged with the second bevel gear 602.

[0028] In the embodiment, the driving assembly 8 drives the first transmission assembly 5 to drive the stirring assembly 7 to rotate and stir, and also drives the stirring assembly 7 to revolve around the axis of the tank body 1, so as to fully stir the probiotics in the tank body 1 and accelerate fermentation; in addition, the second transmission assembly 6 cooperates with the first transmission assembly 5 to drive the stirring assembly 7 to stir, so that the rotation directions of the stirring shaft 701 and the stirring paddle 703 are opposite, which further improves the full stirring of the probiotics and the culture medium in the tank body 1, avoids precipitation, ensures that the probiotics and the nutrients fully contact during the fermentation process, and improves the fermentation efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, when the probiotics and the culture medium in the tank body 1 need to be stirred, the third bevel gear 802 is driven to rotate by the output end of the motor 801, and then the third bevel gear 802 drives the first shaft sleeve 502 and the second shaft 601 to rotate at the same time, and the rotation directions of the first shaft sleeve 502 and the second shaft 601 are opposite; at this time, it can be assumed that the first shaft sleeve 502 is forward rotation, and the second shaft 601 is reverse rotation, the forward rotation of the first shaft sleeve 502 drives the first gear 504 to rotate forward synchronously, the second gear 507 engaged with the first gear 504 rotates reversely, and the reverse rotation of the second gear 507 drives the stirring shaft 701 at the lower end of the first shaft 506 to rotate reversely; at the same time, under the action of the connecting rod 505 and the internal gear 508, the second gear 507 drives the stirring assembly 7 to revolve around the axis of the tank body 1, thereby improving the stirring efficiency.

[0030] In addition, when the second shaft rod 601 is reversed, the reversed second shaft rod 601 will drive the third gear 603 to be reversed synchronously, and then drive the fourth gear 605 engaged with the third gear 603 to be rotated forward, and the fourth gear 605 rotated forward will drive the stirring paddle 703 to be rotated forward through the second shaft sleeve 604, so that the stirring shaft 701 and the stirring paddle 703 rotate around the sun at the same time, and the directions of self-rotation of the stirring shaft 701 and the stirring paddle 703 are opposite, which can further improve the sufficient stirring of the probiotics and the culture medium in the tank 1.

[0031] It should be noted that the first shaft sleeve 502 penetrates the top end outer wall of the upper cover 2 and extends into the inner groove 4, and the first shaft sleeve 502 and the upper cover 2 are rotatably connected through a bearing.

[0032] Please pay attention to Figures 1-5 The opening end of the inner groove 4 is provided with a sealing assembly 9, the sealing assembly 9 comprises a fixed ring 901, the inner side of the fixed ring 901 is provided with a movable ring 902, a rotating part 903 is arranged between the movable ring 902 and the fixed ring 901, and a through hole 904 is formed in the movable ring 902 and penetrates the second shaft sleeve 604; a bearing is arranged between the through hole 904 and the second shaft sleeve 604; the outer periphery of the fixed ring 901 is fixed on the opening end of the inner groove 4 through bolts, and the rotating part 903 is a sealing bearing.

[0033] In the embodiment: by arranging the sealing assembly 9 at the lower opening of the inner groove 4, the first transmission assembly 5 and the second transmission assembly 6 in the inner groove 4 can be isolated from the stirring cavity of the tank 1, so as to avoid water vapor from entering the inner groove 4, and then avoid the first transmission assembly 5 and the second transmission assembly 6 in the inner groove 4 from being damp and generating a large amount of rust, which not only affects the subsequent stirring operation, but also contaminates the bacterial strains if the rust falls into the probiotics.

[0034] Specifically, when the second shaft sleeve 604 rotates around the sun and rotates around its own axis, the bearing between the second shaft sleeve 604 and the through hole 904 can ensure the normal rotation of the second shaft sleeve 604, and the rotation of the second shaft sleeve 604 around the sun will also drive the movable ring 902 to rotate, and will not affect the rotation of the second shaft sleeve 604 around the sun.

[0035] The above describes only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
