The specific details are as follows:

[0016] 1. Before fermentation, a drive motor rotates a double-headed screw, which in turn moves the screw sleeve. Through a linkage structure, two semi-circular sealing plates assemble below the discharge channel and then move upwards to embed into the discharge channel, achieving precise sealing. At this time, since the diameter of the discharge channel is close to the bottom diameter of the fermentation tank, solid raw materials can smoothly fall directly out of the discharge channel, improving discharge efficiency. In terms of sealing, after the semi-circular sealing plates are embedded in the discharge channel, they are pressed against the sealing ring to achieve a seal, effectively preventing leakage of liquid fermentation raw materials and ensuring the stability and hygiene of the fermentation environment. Moreover, the sealing strip on one semi-circular sealing plate fits into the groove on the other semi-circular sealing plate to form a tight seal, preventing leakage at the joint. This device not only facilitates the discharge of solid raw materials but also ensures the sealing of the fermentation tank, preventing leakage of liquid raw materials.

[0017] 2. During the fermentation stage, the first motor drives the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating tube to rotate, causing the connecting tube to rotate the stirring rod. The stirring rod can fully agitate the solid raw materials, ensuring thorough mixing between the materials and probiotics, increasing the contact area for the fermentation reaction, accelerating the fermentation process, and improving fermentation efficiency and product quality. During the cleaning stage, a water pump is connected via a valve pipe, and clean water enters the annular spray nozzle through the rotating tube and connecting pipe, spraying out from the outlet to rinse the inner wall of the fermenter. Simultaneously, the first motor drives the rotating tube to rotate, causing the annular spray nozzle to rotate and spray water, ensuring comprehensive and even cleaning of the fermenter's inner wall, effectively removing residual fermentation materials and impurities, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the fermenter, providing a good environmental condition for the next fermentation, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, and improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

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.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a probiotic fermentation device, including a fermentation tank 1, a support 101 symmetrically fixedly connected to the outside of the fermentation tank 1, and a top cover 102 fixedly installed on the top of the fermentation tank 1.

[0028] A sealing assembly 2 is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The sealing assembly 2 includes a screw chamber 201 and a support chamber 202 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. A discharge channel 203 is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. A sealing ring 2031 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the discharge channel 203. Semicircular sealing plates 204 are symmetrically installed inside the discharge channel 203. A linkage plate 205 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the semicircular sealing plate 204. Two support rods 206 are connected through the middle of the linkage plate 205. The two semicircular sealing plates 204 are inserted and spliced ​​together to form a single unit. When the circular plate is complete, its outer diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the discharge channel 203. The circular plate is assembled below the discharge channel 203, then moved upward and embedded in the discharge channel 203, and then squeezed with the sealing ring 2031 to achieve a seal. The diameter of the discharge channel 203 is close to the bottom diameter of the fermentation tank 1. When the semi-circular sealing plate 204 is detached from the discharge channel 203, the solid fermentation raw materials in the fermentation tank 1 can fall directly from the discharge channel 203. When the semi-circular sealing plate 204 is embedded in the discharge channel 203 and forms a seal, it can prevent the leakage of liquid fermentation raw materials.

[0029] One side of a semicircular sealing plate 204 is fixedly connected to a sealing strip 2041 and a plug 2043. The other semicircular sealing plate 204 has a groove 2042 and a hole 2044 on one side. The middle of the linkage plate 205 has a sloping groove 2051. The support rod 206 is connected through the sloping groove 2051. The outside of the support rod 206 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 2061. The rotating sleeve 2061 is slidably connected to the sloping groove 2051. Both ends of the screw chamber 201 and the support chamber 202 are fixedly connected to the brackets 101 at different positions. When the semicircular sealing plates 204 are assembled, the sealing strip 2041 is embedded in the groove 2042 and forms a seal to prevent leakage at the joint of the two semicircular sealing plates 204. The insertion of the plug 2043 and the hole 2044 allows the joint of the two semicircular sealing plates 204 to be assembled and achieve the effect of joint load bearing.

[0030] The sealing strip 2041 is fitted into the groove 2042, and the insert post 2043 is inserted into the hole 2044. Both the insert post 2043 and the hole 2044 are installed on the vertical surface of the semi-circular sealing plate 204. The vertical surface of the semi-circular sealing plate 204 is the side of the two semi-circular sealing plates 204 that are close to each other.

[0031] A drive motor 2011 is fixedly connected to one side of the screw chamber 201. A double-ended screw 2012 is rotatably connected inside the screw chamber 201. The output end of the drive motor 2011 is fixedly connected to the double-ended screw 2012. A threaded sleeve 2013 is symmetrically threaded onto the outside of the double-ended screw 2012. A sliding rod 2021 is fixedly connected inside the support chamber 202. A sliding sleeve 2022 is symmetrically slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 2021. Both ends of the support rod 206 are fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 2022 and the threaded sleeve 2013, respectively. When the semi-circular sealing plate 204 is separated and the discharge channel 203 is unobstructed, the drive motor 2011 is started, causing the double-ended screw... The rod 2012 rotates, causing the screw sleeve 2013 to move closer, which in turn causes the screw sleeve 2013 to move the support rod 206 and the linkage plate 205. Then, the linkage plate 205 will cause the two semi-circular sealing plates 204 to assemble below the discharge channel 203. As the screw sleeve 2013 continues to move, the support rod 206 will cause the rotating sleeve 2061 to slide from top to bottom in the inclined groove 2051. At this time, the linkage plate 205 will rise vertically, causing the semi-circular sealing plates 204 to move and embed into the discharge channel 203 to achieve sealing. The sliding sleeve 2022 slides in the support chamber 202, and the screw sleeve 2013 slides in the screw chamber 201.

[0032] A stirring assembly 3 is provided in the middle of the top cover 102. The stirring assembly 3 includes a first motor 301 fixedly installed on the top surface of the top cover 102. A first bevel gear 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 301. A rotating tube 303 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top cover 102. A second bevel gear 305 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating tube 303. A valve pipe 304 is rotatably installed at the top of the rotating tube 303. A water pump is connected to the valve pipe 304 through an external pipe. The clean water pumped in by the water pump enters the annular spray pipe 307 through the rotating tube 303 and the connecting pipe 306, and sprays out from the outlet to wash the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, thereby achieving the washing of the inner wall. By starting the first motor 301, the first bevel gear 302 drives the rotating tube 303 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating tube 303 to drive the annular spray pipe 307 to rotate through the connecting pipe 306, forming a rotating water spray, which increases the uniformity of cleaning. After closing the valve pipe 304, the rotating tube 303 can be sealed.

[0033] A number of connecting pipes 306 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating tube 303. An annular nozzle 307 is connected through the end of the connecting pipe 306 away from the rotating tube 303. The bottom of the annular nozzle 307 is provided with a water outlet, and the water outlet points to the inner wall of the fermenter 1. The second bevel gear 305 is meshed with the first bevel gear 302.

[0034] A stirring rod 308 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 306; during fermentation, the rotation of the connecting pipe 306 can drive the stirring rod 308 to rotate, turning the solid raw materials and accelerating fermentation.

[0035] Working principle: Before using this probiotic fermentation equipment, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure it can operate normally. Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, during the fermentation stage, the stirring component 3 plays a role. The first motor 301 starts and drives the first bevel gear 302 to rotate. Since the second bevel gear 305 is meshed with the first bevel gear 302, it drives the rotating tube 303 to rotate. The rotating tube 303 drives the annular nozzle 307 and the stirring rod 308 to rotate through the connecting pipe 306. The stirring rod 308 flips the solid raw materials and accelerates the fermentation process.

[0036] When it is necessary to close the discharge channel 203, the sealing component 2 starts to work. The drive motor 2011 starts and drives the double-headed screw 2012 to rotate, causing the screw sleeve 2013 to move closer. The screw sleeve 2013 drives the support rod 206 and the linkage plate 205 to move. The linkage plate 205 drives the two semi-circular sealing plates 204 to assemble below the discharge channel 203. As the screw sleeve 2013 continues to move, the support rod 206 drives the rotating sleeve 2061 to slide in the inclined groove 2051. The linkage plate 205 rises vertically, and the semi-circular sealing plates 204 are embedded in the discharge channel 203 to achieve sealing. At this time, the solid fermentation raw materials cannot fall out of the discharge channel 203.

[0037] When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of fermenter 1, an external water pump is connected through valve pipe 304. The water pump pumps in clean water, which enters the annular spray pipe 307 through the rotating pipe 303 and connecting pipe 306. The water is sprayed out from the outlet to rinse the inner wall. At the same time, the first motor 301 drives the rotating pipe 303 to rotate, which makes the annular spray pipe 307 rotate and spray water, increasing the uniformity of cleaning. After cleaning is completed, valve pipe 304 is closed to seal the rotating pipe 303.

[0038] Although the present invention 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 invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
