Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of black garlic processing equipment, and in particular to a garlic clove fermentation device based on multi-physical field. Background Technology

[0002] The main raw materials for black garlic processing are clove garlic and single-clove garlic. Using clove garlic to process black garlic can reduce production costs. Existing black garlic fermentation equipment can only control temperature and humidity, and there is no innovative equipment specifically designed for the fermentation characteristics of black garlic. Furthermore, equipment for clove garlic fermentation is still nonexistent. Introducing rapid fermentation equipment for clove garlic and black garlic can reduce production costs and improve economic efficiency.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN114794425A discloses a rapid drying process based on a black garlic fermentation drying box. The process includes a drying box, a multi-layer support trolley, a PLC intelligent electrical box, and a dual-position heater. A humidifier is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drying box, and a bidirectional fan is fixedly connected between the humidifiers via fixing screws. The PLC intelligent electrical box and the dual-position heater are fixedly connected to the left end of the drying box. A desiccant fan unit, a water drainer, and a support frame are fixedly connected to the lower end of the drying box. An inclined block is fixedly connected to the right end of the support frame, and a door panel is rotatably connected to the right end of the drying box. This invention, through the arrangement of the bidirectional fan, drying box, dual-position humidifier, and PLC intelligent electrical box, enables the device to improve the efficiency of black garlic fermentation and drying while reducing labor costs, thus solving the problems of low efficiency and high cost in black garlic fermentation and drying.

[0004] However, this method only involves drying, which has limited impact on improving the fermentation efficiency of black garlic. In contrast, Chinese invention patent CN115777892A discloses a pretreatment method for black garlic fermentation that uses a high-voltage pulsed electric field to pretreat the black garlic, thereby increasing the processing time. Existing methods also utilize other black garlic processing techniques such as ultrasonic treatment, high-temperature pressurization, and low-temperature freezing.

[0005] Most existing black garlic processing equipment can only use a single physical method for processing, resulting in extremely limited fermentation efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that combines multiple methods to create various physical fields to accelerate the fermentation of black garlic. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, Example 1 discloses a garlic fermentation device based on a multi-physics field. The device includes a fermentation chamber 1 with a movable material rack 2 inside. The fermentation chamber provides a closed space for the fermentation process. The fermentation chamber 1 is connected to a temperature and humidity control component 3, which controls the temperature and humidity inside the fermentation chamber to provide a suitable fermentation environment. The fermentation chamber 1 is equipped with an ultrasonic component 4, and the material rack 2 has adjustable-spaced electrode plate components 5. Several material trays 6, which cooperate with the electrode plate components 5, are horizontally arranged on the material rack 2. The material rack supports the garlic cloves in conjunction with the material trays. During fermentation, the ultrasonic component generates an ultrasonic field, and the electrode plate components generate a high-voltage electric field, thus creating a multi-physics field fermentation environment within the fermentation chamber, achieving rapid fermentation of the garlic cloves on the internal material rack to form black garlic. A conductive structure is provided between the fermentation chamber 1 and the material rack 2, which is connected to the electrode plate components 5. The conductive structure supplies power to the electrode plate components, satisfying the conditions for the formation of the high-voltage electric field.

[0026] As a further specific implementation, in this embodiment, the fermentation tank 1 has an opening on the front, and a door 21 is provided at the opening, through which the material rack 2 can enter and exit the fermentation tank 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom of the material rack 2 is provided with grooved wheels 11, and the fermentation tank 1 is provided with a track 12. When the material rack 2 enters and exits the fermentation tank 1, it is guided by the cooperation of the grooved wheels 11 and the track 12.

[0027] In this embodiment, during fermentation, garlic cloves are first placed in a tray, and the material rack 2 is pushed into the fermentation chamber through the door. The door is then closed to create a sealed environment. Simultaneously, the electrical connection is established to supply power. The temperature and humidity control component 3 maintains the environment inside the fermentation chamber at 80°C and 90% humidity. An ultrasonic field is generated using the ultrasonic component 4, and a high-voltage electric field is generated using the electrode plate component to process and ferment the garlic in the tray. This device is reliable, easy to use, and provides multiple superimposed physical fields to improve fermentation efficiency.

[0028] Example 2: A garlic fermentation device based on multi-physics field. Building upon Example 1, the electrode plate assembly 5 includes pairs of parallel electrode plates 7. Each electrode plate 7 has several electric induction needles 8 evenly distributed on it. When energized, these needles release high-voltage pulses, forming a high-voltage electric field. All electrode plates 7 are connected to an electric induction structure. The material rack 2 has several vertically spaced positioning slots. The spacing between each pair of electrode plates 7 is adjusted by bolts engaging with different positioning slots. Therefore, in actual use, the spacing between adjacent electrode plates can be changed according to the different positions of the bolts and positioning slots, thereby altering the intensity of the resulting high-voltage electric field.

[0029] In addition, the power-leading structure includes a power-leading contact fixedly installed at one end of the material rack 2 or electrode plate 7. A high-voltage electrode 10 is fixedly installed inside the fermentation box 1 to cooperate with the power-leading contact. After the material rack 2 enters the fermentation box 1, the power-leading contact contacts the corresponding high-voltage electrode 10 to achieve conductivity. The high-voltage electrode can transmit the high-voltage electricity supplied by the power source after contacting the power-leading contact. In this embodiment, the power-leading contact and the electrode plate are connected by cables to supply power to the electrode plate. Each pair of electrode plates has a different polarity, thus a high-voltage electric field can be formed between the two electrode plates under the action of the power-leading needle. Through the design of the high-voltage electric field, the non-covalent bonds in the garlic under the high-voltage electric field can be broken, causing the proteins, enzymes, starches, and other macromolecules in the garlic to denature, deactivate, and gelatinize, shortening the processing cycle and improving product quality.

[0030] Example 3: A garlic fermentation device based on multiphysics fields, which, based on Example 2, as follows... Figure 5 As shown, the temperature and humidity control component 3 includes an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14 on the fermentation chamber 1. The air inlet 13 is connected to the heating chamber 15, and the air outlet 14 is connected to the blower 16, which in turn is connected to the heating chamber 15. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air inlet is connected to the heating chamber via an air inlet pipe, and the air outlet is connected to the air inlet of the blower via an air outlet pipe. The air outlet is located at the upper part of the fermentation chamber, and the air inlet is located at the lower part of the fermentation chamber. The heating chamber and the air outlet of the blower are connected by a connecting pipe, thereby enabling the formation of a gas circuit by the drive of the blower to achieve airflow circulation.

[0031] Additionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, a temperature and humidity sensor 17 is installed inside the fermentation chamber 1, and a heating wire 22 is installed inside the heating chamber 15. In actual use, the heating wire heats the internal air and circulates it under the action of a blower, providing a good fermentation environment for the black garlic. At the same time, the temperature and humidity sensor monitors the temperature and humidity inside the fermentation chamber and provides feedback to adjust the temperature of the heating wire and the operating speed of the blower, thereby achieving real-time control of temperature and humidity.

[0032] Additionally, as a further optional feature, a water spray pipe can be installed inside the heating chamber to humidify the hot air and maintain humidity. The heating chamber also has an openable air outlet for dehumidification when needed.

[0033] Example 4: A garlic fermentation device based on multiphysics fields. Building upon Example 3, the ultrasonic component 4 includes an ultrasonic transmitter 18 mounted on a fermentation chamber 1, and an ultrasonic sensor 19 mounted on the side wall of the fermentation chamber 1. In this example, both the transmitting end of the ultrasonic transmitter and the receiving end of the ultrasonic sensor are located inside the fermentation chamber. During the formation of the ultrasonic field, the ultrasonic transmitter emits ultrasonic waves, and the ultrasonic sensor monitors the intensity of the ultrasonic field within the fermentation chamber.

[0034] Additionally, as a further optional embodiment, a controlled atmosphere vent 20 is provided on the side wall of the fermentation chamber 1, and the vent 20 is connected to a gas detector. This allows for the detection of gases within the fermentation chamber, enabling the monitoring of the fermentation process.
