Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] A preferred embodiment of the soybean meal pre-fermentation and pretreatment cooking tank provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown: A soybean meal pre-fermentation and pretreatment cooking tank includes a tank body 1; a feed hole 2 integrally disposed on the left side of the top of the tank body 1; a sealing plate 3 disposed on the left side of the top of the tank body 1, the front end of the sealing plate 3 being hinged to the tank body 1 and the rear end of the sealing plate 3 being locked to the tank body 1; a steam generator 4 disposed on the left side of the tank body 1; a connecting pipe 5 fixedly disposed on the top of the steam generator 4, the right end of the connecting pipe 5 being fixedly inserted through the tank body 1; a first valve 6 rotating through the outside of the connecting pipe 5; and a one-way valve 7 fixedly disposed inside the connecting pipe 5.

[0028] It should be noted that the existing soybean meal pre-fermentation and pre-treatment cooking tanks still have certain shortcomings in actual use. They cannot fully mix the soybean meal, which not only affects the uniform heating of the soybean meal, but also affects the full penetration of moisture into the soybean meal.

[0029] In this embodiment, the operator first pours soybean meal and water into the tank 1 through the feed hole 2, then closes the sealing plate 3, opens the first valve 6, and turns on the steam generator 4. At this time, the steam generated by the steam generator 4 is discharged into the tank 1 through the connecting pipe 5, thereby steaming the soybean meal inside the tank 1. The one-way valve 7 can prevent water and soybean meal inside the tank 1 from entering the steam generator 4 through the connecting pipe 5.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a stirring assembly 8 is disposed inside the tank 1, which can fully mix the soybean meal and water inside the tank 1. The stirring assembly 8 includes a first rotating rod 801 rotatably disposed in the middle of the tank 1; first stirring rods 802 fixed on the left and right sides outside the first rotating rod 801; a first driven bevel tooth 803 fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the outer side of the first rotating rod 801; a bracket 804 fixedly disposed on the top of the tank 1; a second rotating rod 805 rotatably disposed inside the bracket 804, the second rotating rod 805 passing through the first rotating rod 801; a second stirring rod 806 fixed on the left and right sides of the outer wall of the second rotating rod 805; and a second driven bevel tooth 803 fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the outer side of the second rotating rod 805. A conical tooth 807; a motor 808 fixedly mounted on the top right side of the tank body 1; an active conical tooth 809 fixedly sleeved outside the output end of the motor 808, the active conical tooth 809 meshing with the first driven conical tooth 803 and the second driven conical tooth 807; a controller 9 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the tank body 1, the controller 9 being connected to the motor 808 and the steam generator 4 via wires; the tank body 1 being made of heat-insulating material; the axis of the first rotating rod 801 being coaxial with the axis of the second rotating rod 805; the inner diameter of the first rotating rod 801 being equal to the outer diameter of the second rotating rod 805; the first stirring rod 802 and the second stirring rod 806 being designed to be staggered; the cross-sections of the first stirring rod 802 and the second stirring rod 806 being designed with an L-shaped orientation.

[0031] In this embodiment, during the soybean meal cooking process, the operator can turn on the motor 808. The motor 808 drives the active bevel gear 809 to control the first driven bevel gear 803, together with the first rotating rod 801 and the first stirring rod 802, to rotate forward. At the same time, the active bevel gear 809 controls the second driven bevel gear 807, together with the second rotating rod 805 and the second stirring rod 806, to rotate in reverse. In this way, the first stirring rod 802 and the second stirring rod 806 are in a synchronous but non-co-directional state to fully stir the soybean meal and water inside the tank 1.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the soybean meal pre-fermentation and pretreatment cooking tank provided by this utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown: The tank body 1 is equipped with an exhaust assembly, which can discharge the high-pressure gas inside the tank body 1 to the outside. The exhaust assembly includes a pressure relief valve 10 fixedly inserted through the top rear end of the tank body 1; a baffle 11 fixedly installed inside the lower end of the pressure relief valve 10. The bottom surface of the pressure relief valve 10 is designed to be on the same plane as the top surface inside the tank body 1. The bottom surface of the baffle 11 is flush with the bottom surface of the pressure relief valve 10. A discharge pipe 16 is fixedly inserted through the middle of the bottom of the tank body 1. A second valve 17 is rotatably inserted through the outside of the discharge pipe 16.

[0034] In this embodiment, the high-pressure gas and steam generated inside the tank 1 are discharged to the outside through the pressure relief valve 10. The baffle 11 blocks the soybean meal microparticles carried inside the steam to prevent the microparticles from being discharged to the outside. After the soybean meal is cooked, the staff opens the second valve 17 so that the cooked soybean meal is discharged through the discharge pipe 16, thereby carrying out the subsequent fermentation pretreatment of the soybean meal.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a cleaning component is provided inside the tank 1. The cleaning component can remove soybean meal microparticles adhering to the bottom surface of the baffle 11. The cleaning component includes a rotating pin 12 that rotatably passes through the top rear end of the tank 1; a scraper 13 fixedly sleeved on the lower end of the rotating pin 12. The rotating pin 12 is parallel to the first rotating rod 801 and the second rotating rod 805. The top surface of the scraper 13 is in contact with the bottom surface of the baffle 11. A pulley 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the second rotating rod 805 and the rotating pin 12. A toothed belt 15 is provided on the outside of the pulley 14 by a tight fit.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the second rotating rod 805 rotates, the second rotating rod 805 drives the pulley 14 to rotate together with the toothed belt 15, the pivot pin 12, and the scraper 13, thereby causing the scraper 13 to scrape off the microparticles adhering to the bottom of the baffle 11, preventing the baffle 11 from being blocked, and ensuring the smooth discharge of steam and high-pressure gas from the pressure relief valve 10 to the outside.

[0037] In summary, this application can fully stir soybean meal during the cooking process, which not only ensures that the soybean meal is heated evenly, but also ensures that the water fully penetrates into the soybean meal. In addition, the scraping function design can prevent micro particles in the soybean meal from clogging the filter screen, and ensure the smooth discharge of steam and high-pressure gas inside the tank to the outside through the pressure relief valve.
