Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marigold processing technology, and in particular to a marigold fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Marigolds, also known as African daisies or calendulas, are herbaceous plants belonging to the Asteraceae family. Due to their colorful flowers, they are often used as ornamental and horticultural plants. When used as fertilizer or to improve soil, they usually need to undergo fermentation treatment.

[0003] Most existing fermentation methods involve placing the washed marigolds in a fermentation tank, which presents the following problems in practice:

[0004] 1) Fermentation tanks are usually equipped with a rotatable stirring rod to promote the reaction between marigolds and the fermentation liquid in the tank and promote fermentation. However, marigolds are small in size, while the gap between the stirring rod and the tank body is large. Marigolds in this area are difficult to mix with the stirring rod structure, which affects the fermentation efficiency.

[0005] 2) When the marigold fermentation product is removed from the fermentation tank, some unconsumed fermentation liquid remains in the fermentation tank and is mixed with the fermentation product and discharged together, which is quite wasteful. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, the inventors conducted in-depth research and, after a great deal of creative work, completed this utility model.

[0007] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a marigold fermentation device to address the problem that current fermentation tanks usually have a rotatable stirring rod to promote the reaction between marigolds and the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank, thus promoting fermentation. However, marigolds are small in size, and the gap between the stirring rod and the tank body is large, making it difficult for marigolds in this area to fit into the stirring rod structure, which affects the fermentation efficiency.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A marigold fermentation device includes a support frame, an outer fermentation tank movably connected to the inner side of the support frame, an inner fermentation tank movably connected to the outer fermentation tank, a first motor fixedly installed on the top of the outer fermentation tank, and a first rotating shaft movably connected to the outer fermentation tank. One end of the first rotating shaft passes through the outer fermentation tank and is connected to the output shaft of the first motor for transmission.

[0010] The first rotating shaft extends into the outer fermentation tank and has stirring shafts arranged linearly at one end located in the inner fermentation tank. A symmetrically distributed grid is provided between the stirring shafts. The grid is composed of crossbars and longitudinal bars. The grid is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft away from the first motor.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, a second rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner fermentation tank, and a second motor is fixedly installed at the end of the outer fermentation tank away from the first motor. The end of the second rotating shaft protruding from the outer fermentation tank is connected to the output shaft of the second motor for transmission.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, an inlet solenoid valve for conveying fermentation liquid is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank, and filter holes for separating fermentation liquid are opened on the outside of the fermentation tank.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, a first stop bar is movably connected to the bottom of the fermentation inner tank. The first stop bar is movably connected to one end of the second rotating shaft extending into the fermentation outer tank. A second stop bar is provided at the top of the fermentation inner tank, which is parallel to the first stop bar. The second stop bar is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft extending into the fermentation outer tank. Scrapers are fixedly installed at both ends of the second stop bar, and the scrapers are in contact with the inner wall of the fermentation outer tank.

[0014] As an improved technical solution, a slider is movably connected to one end of the first rotating shaft that extends into the outer fermentation tank. A groove is opened on the outer side of the first rotating shaft to realize the sliding of the slider. A cover plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the groove. The cover plate is movably connected to the inner fermentation tank and is in clearance fit with the inner fermentation tank.

[0015] As an improved technical solution, a collar is fixedly installed on the outer side of the fermentation tank, a connecting shaft is fixedly installed on the outer side of the collar, a third motor is fixedly installed on the bracket, and one end of the connecting shaft passing through the bracket is connected to the output shaft of the third motor for transmission.

[0016] As an improved technical solution, a fermentation liquid pipe is fixedly installed at one end of the fermentation tank near the second motor, and one end of the fermentation liquid pipe extends into the fermentation tank and is connected to the fermentation tank.

[0017] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, the marigold is stirred in the fermentation inner tank by a stirring shaft connected to the first rotating shaft, and the grid connected to the first rotating shaft works in sync with the stirring shaft to rotate synchronously with the first rotating shaft. By adopting a compound stirring method in multiple directions, both horizontal and vertical, the stirring dead angle between the marigold and the fermentation inner tank is reduced, thereby making the marigold in the fermentation outer tank more thoroughly stirred.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the second stop rod keeps the device rotating synchronously with the first rotating shaft, and the scraper keeps the device rotating synchronously with the connected first rotating shaft without contacting the inner fermentation tank during the process. The scraper removes the residual adhesive on the inner wall of the outer fermentation tank, thus facilitating subsequent cleaning of the device.

[0020] 3. In this utility model, the outer fermentation tank tilts under the constraint of the support, thereby causing the inner fermentation tank to tilt. The slider moves the cover plate along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft under the constraint of the sliding groove, disengaging it from the opening in the inner fermentation tank, thus facilitating the removal of the marigold fermentation product.

[0021] 4. This utility model separates the residual fermentation liquid from the fermentation products through filter holes and filters them into the outer fermentation tank, thereby realizing the recovery of fermentation liquid, reducing waste, and finally recovering the fermentation liquid after filtering through the filter holes through the fermentation liquid pipe.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a marigold fermentation device, which includes a support 1. An outer fermentation tank 2 is movably connected to the inner side of the support 1. An inner fermentation tank 3 is movably connected to the outer fermentation tank 2. A first motor 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer fermentation tank 2. A first rotating shaft 5 is also movably connected to the outer fermentation tank 2. One end of the first rotating shaft 5 passes through the outer fermentation tank 2 and is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 4. Stirring shafts 6 are linearly arranged at one end of the first rotating shaft 5 extending into the outer fermentation tank 2 and located in the inner fermentation tank 3. Symmetrically distributed grids 7 are provided between the stirring shafts 6. The grids 7 are composed of intersecting horizontal and vertical bars. 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 5 away from the first motor 4. The shaft centers of the outer fermentation tank 2 and the inner fermentation tank 3 are on the same straight line. A suitable fermentation environment for marigold fermentation can be created in the outer fermentation tank 2 by adding fermentation liquid. The marigold to be fermented can be placed in the inner fermentation tank 3 and separated from the fermentation liquid in the outer fermentation tank 2. The first motor 4 can drive the stirring shaft 6 to stir the marigold in the inner fermentation tank 3 through the drive of the output shaft. The grid 7 can cooperate with the stirring shaft 6 to keep the first rotating shaft 5 rotating synchronously, reducing the stirring dead angle between the marigold and the inner fermentation tank 3, so that the marigold in the outer fermentation tank 2 is stirred more thoroughly.

[0035] A second rotating shaft 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fermentation inner tank 3, and a second motor 9 is fixedly installed at the end of the fermentation outer tank 2 away from the first motor 4. The end of the second rotating shaft 8 protruding from the fermentation outer tank 2 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 9. The second motor 9 can drive the fermentation inner tank 3 to rotate in the fermentation outer tank 2 in the opposite direction to the first motor 4 through the drive of the output shaft, thereby cooperating with the stirring shaft 6 and the grid 7 to promote the stirring of the marigolds in the fermentation inner tank 3.

[0036] A liquid inlet solenoid valve 10 for conveying fermentation liquid is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fermentation inner tank 3. A filter hole 11 for separating fermentation liquid is opened on the outside of the fermentation inner tank 3. The liquid inlet solenoid valve 10 can be connected by an electrical signal to send the fermentation liquid in the fermentation outer tank 2 into the fermentation inner tank 3. The filter hole 11 can separate the residual fermentation liquid and fermentation products in the fermentation inner tank 3 from the fermentation inner tank 3 when the fermentation inner tank 3 is tilted.

[0037] A first stop rod 12 is movably connected to the bottom of the fermentation inner tank 3. The first stop rod 12 is movably connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 8 extending into the fermentation outer tank 2. A second stop rod 13 is provided on the top of the fermentation inner tank 3, which is parallel to the first stop rod 12. The second stop rod 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft 5 extending into the fermentation outer tank 2. Scrapers 14 are fixedly installed at both ends of the second stop rod 13. The scrapers 14 are in contact with the inner wall of the fermentation outer tank 2. The first stop rod 12 can be kept in sync with the first rotating shaft 5 by the second stop rod 13 within the constraint of the second rotating shaft 8. When the first rotating shaft 5 rotates, the scrapers 14 scrape off the residual adhesive on the inner wall of the fermentation outer tank 2, thereby facilitating subsequent cleaning of the device.

[0038] A slider 15 is movably connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 5 extending into the outer fermentation tank 2. A groove 16 is provided on the outer side of the first rotating shaft 5 to limit the sliding of the slider 15. A cover plate 17 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the groove 16. The cover plate 17 is movably connected in the inner fermentation tank 3 and is in clearance fit with the inner fermentation tank 3. The slider 15 can move along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 5 under the restriction of the groove 16 and rotate synchronously with the first rotating shaft 5. When the slider 15 is at the lowest point, the cover plate 17 is located in the inner fermentation tank 3, closing the opening at the top of the inner fermentation tank 3 that connects to the outer fermentation tank 2.

[0039] A collar 18 is fixedly installed on the outside of the fermentation tank 2, and a connecting shaft 19 is fixedly installed on the outside of the collar 18. A third motor 20 is fixedly installed on the bracket 1. One end of the connecting shaft 19 passes through the bracket 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the third motor 20. The collar 18 is installed on the bracket 1 through the fermentation tank 2. The collar 18 can be driven by the output shaft of the third motor 20 to deflect around the connecting shaft 19, so that the fermentation tank 2 tilts under the restriction of the bracket 1.

[0040] A fermentation liquid pipe 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the fermentation tank 2 near the second motor 9, and one end of the fermentation liquid pipe 21 extends into the fermentation tank 2 and is connected to the fermentation tank 2. The fermentation liquid pipe 21 can send external fermentation liquid into the fermentation tank 2 to replenish the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank 2, and can also discharge the residual fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank 2.

[0041] When the device is in use, fermentation liquid is added to the outer fermentation tank 2 through the fermentation liquid pipe 21 to create a suitable fermentation environment for marigold fermentation. The marigolds to be fermented are placed in the inner fermentation tank 3, separated from the fermentation liquid in the outer fermentation tank 2. Driven by the output shaft of the first motor 4, the stirring shaft 6 connected to the first rotating shaft 5 stirs the marigolds in the inner fermentation tank 3. The grid 7 connected to the first rotating shaft 5 rotates synchronously with the stirring shaft 6. By employing a multi-directional (horizontal and vertical) composite stirring method, the stirring dead angle between the marigolds and the inner fermentation tank 3 is reduced, resulting in more thorough stirring of the marigolds in the outer fermentation tank 2. During this process, the output shaft of the second motor 9 drives the second rotating shaft 8 to rotate, causing the inner fermentation tank 3 to rotate in the opposite direction to the first rotating shaft 5 within the outer fermentation tank 2. This, in conjunction with the stirring shaft 6 and the grid 7, promotes stirring of the marigolds in the inner fermentation tank 3. The first stop rod 12 limits the movement of the second rotating shaft 8. Under control, the second stop rod 13 keeps the first rotating shaft 5 rotating synchronously, and the scraper 14 keeps the first rotating shaft 5 rotating synchronously, without contacting the fermentation inner tank 3. The scraper scrapes off the residual adhesive on the inner wall of the fermentation outer tank 2, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning of the device. When it is necessary to take out the marigold fermentation product, the output shaft of the third motor 20 drives the fermentation outer tank 2 connected to the collar 18 to deflect around the connecting shaft 19, so that the fermentation outer tank 2 tilts under the restriction of the support 1, thereby turning the fermentation inner tank 3 into an inclined state. The slider 15 drives the cover plate 17 to move along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 5 under the restriction of the slide groove 16, and disengages from the opening in the fermentation inner tank 3, so as to facilitate the removal of the marigold fermentation product. The residual fermentation liquid is separated from the fermentation product through the filter hole 11 and filtered out into the fermentation outer tank 2, thereby realizing the recovery of the fermentation liquid, reducing waste, and finally the fermentation liquid filtered out through the filter hole 11 is recovered through the fermentation liquid pipe 21.

[0042] It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
