[0025] A rotating rod 17 is rotatably connected to the upper center of fermentation tank 1. A gear 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 17. Gear 13 and gear 14 mesh with each other. A feed pipe 7 is installed through the upper end of the rotating rod 17. A bearing 15 is installed at the connection between the feed pipe 7 and the rotating rod 17. Under the action of meshing, the gear 14 and the rotating rod 17 can be driven to rotate, and the stirring rod 19 can also be driven to rotate, thereby spraying fermented mud in different directions. Under the action of the stirring rod 19, the mixing effect between the fermented mud and the material can be improved. The feed pipe 7 is L-shaped and can not rotate with the rotating rod 17 under the action of the bearing 15. The discharge hole 18 uses the principle of heart valves, which is the same as the principle of bicycle valve core. There is an inverted hard film at the mouth of the bottle. Under normal circumstances, it is gathered together and in a closed state. When subjected to external force, the film opens outward to form a channel to prevent backflow.

In addition, the fermentation tank 1 is equipped with a heating element inside. The control panel 8 on the outside is electrically connected to the heating element, which can control the temperature of the heating element and improve the fermentation effect.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, the material is fed into the fermentation tank 1 through the feed inlet 10 at the top. At this time, the feed pipe 7 is connected to the storage device of the fermentation mud. The fermentation mud is fed into the stirring rod 19 through the feed pipe 7 and sprayed out through the discharge hole 18 to mix with the material inside. Then, the motor 6 is started to drive the gear 13 to rotate. Under the meshing action, the gear 14 and the rotating rod 17 can be driven to rotate, and the stirring rod 19 can also be driven to rotate, thereby spraying the fermentation mud in different directions. Under the action of the stirring rod 19, the mixing effect between the fermentation mud and the material can be improved.
