[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a fermentation device for processing fermented bean curd, comprising a fermentation box 1, a door 2 hinged to the front of the fermentation box 1, which can seal the interior of the fermentation box 1 when closed, a temperature monitor 3 fixedly connected to the top surface of the interior of the fermentation box 1, which can monitor the temperature inside the fermentation box 1, a temperature regulator 4 provided inside the fermentation box 1, which includes a heater installed on the bottom surface and a cooler on the top surface of the interior of the fermentation box 1, which can realize rapid adjustment of the temperature inside the fermentation box 1, and a placement plate 5 provided inside the fermentation box 1, on which the raw materials for fermented bean curd can be cut into pieces and placed, and then the placement plate 5 is sent into the fermentation box 1 to provide a fermentation place for the raw materials.

[0034] Reference Figures 3-5 A sliding unit is provided on the outer side of the placement plate 5. The sliding unit includes a slider 51, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall surface of the placement plate 5. When the placement plate 5 moves, it can drive the slider 51 to move synchronously. A groove 52 is provided on the inner wall surface of the fermentation box 1. The slider 51 is slidably connected to the groove 52. Through the cooperation of the groove 52 and the slider 51, the placement plate 5 and the fermentation box 1 are slidably connected. A groove 6 is provided on the upper surface of the placement plate 5. The upper side of the inner wall surface on both the front and rear sides of the groove 6 is inclined. A fixing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the left side of the back of the placement plate 5. When the placement plate 5 moves, it can drive the fixing plate 7 to move synchronously. A rectangular rod 8 is rotatably connected to the right side surface of the fixing plate 7. A unwinding roller 9 is inserted into the outer side of the rectangular rod 8. When the unwinding roller 9 is inserted into the outer side of the rectangular rod 8, the rectangular rod 8 can limit the movement of the unwinding roller 9, so that the unwinding roller 9 can rotate relative to the fixing plate 7. The length of the unwinding roller 9 is the same as the length of the rectangular rod 8.

[0035] Silicone paper is wound and fixed on the outside of the unwinding roller 9. The surface of the silicone paper is provided with easy-tear holes in sections. When the unwinding roller 9 is inserted into the outside of the rectangular rod 8, the silicone paper can be pulled forward so that it enters the inside of the groove 6 and fills the inside of the groove 6. At this time, the center of the front silicone paper is concave. Then the fermented bean curd raw material can be placed directly on the silicone paper. The liquid produced by the raw material during fermentation will also remain inside the silicone paper, avoiding the problem of flowing into the placement plate 5 or the fermentation box 1. When it is necessary to remove the raw material after fermentation, the front silicone paper can be torn off directly so that the silicone paper and the raw material can be taken away together, which is convenient for the removal of the raw material and subsequent processing.

[0036] A limiting unit is provided on the right side of the unwinding roller 9. The limiting unit includes a screw hole 91, which is opened on the right side surface of the rectangular rod 8. A bolt 92 is threaded inside the screw hole 91. The left side surface of the bolt head 92 is in contact with the left side surface of the rectangular rod 8. The area of ​​the left side surface of the bolt head is larger than the area of ​​the right side surface of the rectangular rod 8. When the bolt 92 is screwed into the screw hole 91, it can limit the unwinding roller 9 inserted on the outside of the rectangular rod 8, preventing the unwinding roller 9 from shifting in the left and right directions, which would affect the laying of the silicone paper in the groove 6. When the unwinding roller 9 needs to be replaced, the limiting of the unwinding roller 9 can be released by simply taking out the placement plate 5 and unscrewing the bolt 92. The operation is simple.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The upper surface of the placement plate 5 has circular slots 10 on both the front and rear sides. An elastic element 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the circular slot 10. A pressure plate 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the elastic element 11. When the pressure plate 12 moves upward, it can pull the elastic element 11, causing the elastic element 11 to stretch and generate elastic potential energy. A rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 12. The bottom surface of the rubber pad is in contact with the upper surface of the placement plate 5. The rubber pad can increase the friction between the rubber pad and the silicone paper, making the limit of the silicone paper end more stable. A handle 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressure plate 12. The operator can pull the pressure plate 12 through the handle 13.

[0038] When the silicone paper is pulled forward, the handle 13 can be used to pull the rear pressure plate 12 upward to pass the silicone paper through the rear pressure plate 12 and lay it inside the groove 6. Then, the rear pressure plate 12 is released, so that the right pressure plate 12 moves downward and resets under the elastic potential energy of the elastic element 11, limiting the rear side of the front silicone paper. Then, the front handle 13 is pulled up to lift the front pressure plate 12 and place the front end of the silicone paper under the front pressure plate 12. Then, the front handle 13 is released, so that the pressure plate 12 moves downward and resets to limit the front end of the silicone paper, preventing the silicone paper from warping or shifting during use.

[0039] Working principle: After inserting the unwinding roller 9 with silicone paper onto the outside of the rectangular rod 8, the bolt 91 is screwed into the screw hole 92 to limit the unwinding roller 9. Then, the silicone paper is pulled forward to lay the silicone paper inside the groove 6. The front and rear sides of the silicone paper are clamped and limited by the cooperation of the pressure plate 12 and the elastic element 11. Then, the fermented bean curd raw material is placed on the silicone paper inside the groove 6. After the placement plate 5 is sent into the fermentation box 1 through the sliding unit to complete the installation, the box door 2 is closed for fermentation. The liquid produced during fermentation will remain inside the silicone paper, avoiding the problem of flowing into the placement plate 5 or the fermentation box 1. When it is necessary to take out the fermented raw material, the front silicone paper is simply torn off so that the silicone paper and raw material can be taken away together, which is convenient for taking out the raw material and subsequent processing. When it is necessary to place the next batch of raw material, the silicone paper is pulled forward to lay the silicone paper inside the groove 6. The operation is simple and quick.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
