Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of edible fungi fermentation technology, and more specifically, it relates to a convenient and portable fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] Edible fungi refer to a variety of fungi that form sclerotia or fleshy fruiting bodies and can be used for food or medicine. Edible fungi usually come from nature. After screening and isolating fungal strains with high edible value, people cultivate and improve them, and then carry out fermentation treatment to accelerate the propagation of mycelium.

[0003] Edible fungi are usually fermented in fermentation tanks. Depending on their placement, fermentation tanks are mainly divided into vertical fermentation tanks that are placed directly on the ground, rack-mounted fermentation tanks with the discharge port at the bottom, and rack-mounted fermentation tanks where the fermentation liquid is poured out from the top. Among them, the discharge port of vertical fermentation tanks is usually located on one side of the tank. When discharging, not all the fermentation liquid inside will flow out, resulting in waste. Correspondingly, rack-mounted fermentation tanks can solve this problem. However, when rack-mounted fermentation tanks are filled with liquid, their center of gravity is higher than that of vertical fermentation tanks. If a moving structure is added to assist in moving the fermentation tank, its center of gravity will be further increased, and there is a risk of the fermentation tank tipping over when it is moved. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a conveniently movable fermentation tank to address the issue that existing fermentation tanks with a lower discharge port are prone to tipping over when moved due to their high center after being filled with material.

[0005] This utility model provides a conveniently portable fermentation tank, achieved through the following specific technical means:

[0006] A portable fermenter includes a fermenter body; the bottom of the fermenter body is funnel-shaped and connected to a feed pipe, a control valve is installed on the feed pipe, the two sides of the fermenter body are shaft-connected to a fixed bracket, and a cleaning turntable is installed at one shaft connection point; a movable push handle is hinged to the rear end of the fixed bracket, the bottom of the fixed bracket is bolted to a base plate, and a movable chassis is fixed below the base plate; the movable chassis includes a base, the base includes an upper plate, a lower plate and a middle plate, the middle plate consists of two pieces and is fixedly connected between the upper plate and the lower plate; four sets of universal wheels with parking function are installed at the bottom of the base, and a telescopic structure is fixedly connected to each end of the base, the telescopic structure includes a slide rail, the slide rail includes a fixed rail, a moving rail and a guide rod, and the fixed rail and the moving rail and the fixed rail and the guide rod are slidably connected; one side of the moving rail and the guide rod is fixedly connected to a support, the bottom of the support is equipped with universal wheels, and a handle is provided above the support.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixed bracket is provided with a pin hole near the hinged moving pusher position. When the fermenter moves, the moving pusher is in an upward tilted state, and the fixed pin passes through the pin hole of the fixed bracket and rests below the bottom of the moving pusher connecting arm.

[0008] Furthermore, the front end of the base plate and the base has a U-shaped notch with a large radius facing forward, and the U-shaped notch extends to the vicinity of the funnel opening below the fermentation tank body.

[0009] Furthermore, each set of telescopic structure slide rails is divided into two opposing upper and lower sets. The fixed rail side of the upper set slide rail is fixedly connected to the upper plate of the base, and the fixed rail side of the lower set slide rail is fixedly connected to the lower plate of the base. The upper and lower fixed rails are fixedly connected by connecting blocks, which are fixed on both sides of the fixed rails and there are three connecting blocks on each side.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixed rail has a sliding groove inside along the track direction, and a moving rail is slidably connected in the sliding groove. A toothed plate is provided on the side of the moving rail away from the sliding groove. The moving rail toothed plate meshes with three sets of gears arranged at equal intervals. The gear shaft is rotatably connected to the center position of the connecting block.

[0011] Furthermore, a first connecting rod is fixedly connected between the two sets of supports on the front side of the telescopic structure on both sides of the mobile chassis base, and a second connecting rod is fixedly connected between the shafts of the two sets of gears on the rear side of the telescopic structure.

[0012] Furthermore, a pin hole is opened on one side of the fixed rail in the lower group, and a limit pin is inserted into the pin hole; a limit groove is opened on the sliding rail connected to the fixed rail, and a limit pin is inserted into the limit groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model provides a U-shaped notch at the front end of the base plate and the base, which extends to the vicinity of the funnel opening below the fermentation tank. When the fermentation is completed and the material is discharged, the connecting pipe can be connected to the conveying pipe below the fermentation tank, or the small bucket can be placed in the U-shaped notch of the base and the cleaning turntable can be rotated so that the funnel of the fermentation tank is sideways to the opening of the small bucket, making it easy to pour the fermentation liquid directly into the small bucket.

[0015] 2. By setting up a telescopic structure, the fermentation tank is in a retracted state when it is fixed, which occupies a small area and is easy to place in a small space. When the fermentation tank is moved, pulling the handle outward causes the moving rail to be pulled out from the fixed rail slot along the guide rod direction from the outside of the base. The distance between the universal wheels fixed under the front and rear supports is significantly increased, making the moving chassis more stable. Even when the fermentation tank is full of fermentation liquid and the center of gravity is high, it is not easy to tip over when moving the fermentation tank. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. Example

[0031] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 12 As shown:

[0032] This utility model provides a portable fermenter, including a fermenter body 1; the bottom of the fermenter body 1 is funnel-shaped and connected to a conveying pipe, with a control valve installed on the conveying pipe; both sides of the fermenter body 1 are shaft-connected to fixed supports 2, and a cleaning turntable 3 is installed at one shaft connection point; a moving pusher 4 is hinged to the rear end of the fixed supports 2; the bottom of the fixed supports 2 is bolted to a base plate 6; a movable chassis is fixed below the base plate 6; the movable chassis includes a base 7, which includes an upper plate 701, a lower plate 702, and a middle plate 703. Two middle plates 703 are fixedly connected between the upper plate 701 and the lower plate 702; four sets of casters 13 with parking function are installed at the bottom of the base 7; a telescopic structure is fixedly connected to each end of the base 7; the telescopic structure includes a slide rail, which includes a fixed rail 8, a moving rail 9 and a guide rod 15; the fixed rail 8 and the moving rail 9, and the fixed rail 8 and the guide rod 15 are slidably connected; the moving rail 9 and the guide rod 15 are fixedly connected to the support 12 on one side; casters 13 are installed at the bottom of the support 12; and a handle 14 is provided on the top of the support 12.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fixed bracket 2 has a pin hole near the position of the hinged movable pusher 4, as... Figure 8 As shown, when the fermentation tank is moved, the moving handle 4 is tilted upwards. The fixing pin 5 is inserted through the pin hole of the fixing bracket 2 and rests below the bottom of the connecting arm of the moving handle 4 to fix the tilt angle of the moving handle 4. When moving the fermentation tank, hold the handle of the moving handle 4 and push it forward. When the fermentation tank is in a fixed state, the fixing pin 5 can be pulled out from the pin hole of the fixing bracket 2, and then the moving handle 4 can be lowered to make it vertical, which can reduce the space occupied by the fermentation tank and facilitate placement.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the base plate 6 and the base 7 has a U-shaped notch with a large radius facing forward. The U-shaped notch extends to the vicinity of the funnel opening below the fermentation tank body 1. When the fermentation is completed and the material is discharged, the connecting pipe can be connected to the conveying pipe below the fermentation tank body 1, or the small bucket can be placed in the U-shaped notch of the base 7 and the cleaning turntable 3 can be rotated so that the funnel of the fermentation tank body 1 faces the opening of the small bucket, making it easy to pour the fermentation liquid directly into the small bucket.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 5As shown, each set of telescopic slide rails is divided into two opposing upper and lower sets. One side of the fixed rail 8 of the upper set is fixedly connected to the upper plate 701 of the base 7, and one side of the fixed rail 8 of the lower set is fixedly connected to the lower plate 702 of the base 7. The upper and lower fixed rails 8 are fixedly connected by connecting blocks 11, which are fixed to both sides of the fixed rail 8, with three blocks on each side; Figure 7 As shown, the fixed rail 8 has a groove along the track direction, and a moving rail 9 is slidably connected in the groove. A toothed plate is set on the side of the moving rail 9 away from the groove. The toothed plate of the moving rail 9 meshes with three sets of gears 10 arranged at equal intervals. The shaft of the gear 10 is rotatably connected to the center of the connecting block 11. When moving the fermentation tank, the handle 14 can be pulled along the guide rod 15 to pull the moving rail 9 out of the groove of the fixed rail 8. During this process, the toothed plate of the moving rail 9 meshes with the gear 10 and rotates. When both the upper and lower moving rail 9 toothed plates are meshed with the middle set of gears 10, pulling one set of moving rails 9 can realize the linkage of the upper and lower sets of moving rails 9. After the moving rail 9 is pulled out, the distance between the front and rear universal wheels 13 of the moving chassis increases significantly. During the process of pushing the fermentation tank to move, the fermentation tank body 1 is not easy to tip forward, ensuring the stability during movement.

[0036] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected between the two sets of supports 12 on the front side of the telescopic structure on both sides of the mobile chassis base 7. If the handle 14 on the front support 12 is pulled, the other support 12 can also be pulled out synchronously by the first connecting rod 16, so as to ensure that the distance between the front universal wheel 13 and the fermentation tank body 1 is the same, and it is easy to maintain stability when moving. A second connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected between the shafts of the two sets of gears 10 on the rear side of the telescopic structure. If the handle 14 on the rear support 12 is pulled out, the moving rail 9 is pulled out from the slide groove of the fixed rail 8 and meshes with the rear set of gears 10 to rotate. The gears 10 on both sides rotate simultaneously under the fixed connection of the second connecting rod 18, and the other support 12 is also pulled out synchronously.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 10 As shown, a pin hole is opened on one side of the lower guide rail 8, and a limit pin 17 is inserted into the pin hole; as Figure 12 As shown, a limiting groove 901 is provided on the sliding rail 9 within the fixed rail 8. A limiting pin 17 is inserted into the limiting groove 901. After the limiting pin 17 is inserted, if the lower sliding rail 9 is continuously pulled backward, the end of the limiting groove 901 of the sliding rail 9 will eventually be stuck on the limiting pin 17, preventing the sliding rail 9 from being pulled outward further and avoiding excessive pulling that would cause the sliding rail 9 to detach from the fixed rail 8 and become difficult to reinstall. Similarly, the upper sliding rail has the same structure to prevent derailment during the forward pulling of the upper sliding rail 9.

[0038] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:

[0039] In this invention, the moving rail 9 is pulled out from the upper fixed rail 8 slot by the handle 14 on the front support 12 and the guide rod 15 along the front guide rod 15. During this process, the first connecting rod 16 pulls the supports 12 on both sides of the front end to be pulled out synchronously. The moving rail 9 is pulled out from the lower fixed rail 8 slot by the handle 14 on the rear support 12 and the guide rod 15 along the rear guide rod 15. During this process, the gear 10 meshing with the toothed plate on the upper side of the moving rail 9 rotates. The rotating shafts of the gears 10 on both sides are fixedly connected by the second connecting rod 18 and rotate simultaneously, so that the supports 12 on both sides are pulled out synchronously. The distance between the universal wheels 13 at the front and rear ends of the fermenter is significantly increased. The upward rotating pusher 4 moves the moving rail 9 to... Tilt the container upwards and insert the fixing pin 5 into the pin hole on the rear side of the fixing bracket 2. Lower the moving pusher 4 so that its bottom rests on the fixing pin 5 to maintain the tilt angle. Push the moving pusher 4 to move the fermenter forward. When pouring the fermentation liquid, reverse the above steps to change the fermenter from a moving state to a fixed state and significantly reduce the area occupied by the fermenter. Connect the connecting pipe to the conveying pipe below the fermenter body 1, or place the small bucket in the U-shaped notch of the base 7. Rotate the cleaning turntable 3 so that the funnel of the fermenter body 1 faces the opening of the small bucket, making it easy to pour the fermentation liquid directly into the small bucket. Open the control valve to pour the fermentation liquid.
