Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean product fermentation technology, specifically a constant temperature fermentation box for soybean products. Background Technology
[0002] Soy products are foods made primarily from soybeans, mung beans, green beans, peas, broad beans, and other legumes. These foods are characterized by their rich protein content, making them an important source of high-quality protein in the diet. Fermentation is required during the processing of soy products, necessitating the use of fermentation chambers. Traditional fermentation chambers lack the function of periodically turning the soy products during operation, leading to uneven fermentation if the soy products remain in one state for extended periods, thus affecting the overall fermentation quality. Furthermore, they lack the function of filtering incoming air during fermentation, allowing dust and bacteria to enter and contaminate the soy products. We have designed a constant-temperature fermentation chamber for soy products to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-7 This embodiment proposes a constant temperature fermentation box for soybean products, including a fermentation mechanism 1 and a support mechanism 2 assembled at the bottom of the fermentation mechanism 1. The fermentation mechanism 1 is a fermentation processing mechanism for soybean products, and soybean products are fermented evenly by means of the fermentation mechanism 1. The support mechanism 2 is a bottom support and placement mechanism for the fermentation box, and the stability of the fermentation box during operation is ensured by means of the support mechanism 2.
[0025] Specifically, the fermentation mechanism 1 includes a fermentation chamber 101. A rotating shelf 3 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the fermentation chamber 101 via a rotating ring 302. A heating rod 401 is fixedly mounted at the center of the fermentation chamber 101. The top of the heating rod 401 extends to connect with the top of the fermentation chamber 101, and the bottom extends downwards into the support base 201 and is fixedly connected to its bottom. The heating rod 401 uses existing known technology, and its specific working principle will not be elaborated further. A protective net 4 is fitted around the heating rod 401. An electric push rod 7 corresponding to the rotating shelf 3 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the fermentation chamber 101. The output ends of the electric push rod 7 are all... A turning rake 701 is fixedly installed. The turning rake 701 can be driven by an electric push rod 7 to move radially along the fermentation chamber 101, thereby adjusting the turning area of the raw materials for soybean products. During the operation of the rotating shelf 3, the turning rake 701 can remain stationary or can be periodically moved in a straight line by the electric push rod 7. Of course, when the electric push rod 7 drives the turning rake 701 to the limit, the turning rake 701 will not touch the protective net 4. A closing door 102 is movably installed on the front of the fermentation chamber 101. A ventilation pipe 106 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the fermentation chamber 101. A HEPA filter element 107 is fixedly installed inside the ventilation pipe 106.
[0026] The support mechanism 2 includes a support base 201, and a humidifier 6 is fixedly installed on one side inside the support base 201. The output end of the humidifier 6 extends into the fermentation chamber 101 and is fixedly installed with a humidification pipe 601.
[0027] Furthermore, two sets of ventilation fans 5 are fixedly installed on the top of the fermentation chamber 101, and an adjusting motor 502 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the fermentation chamber 101. A closing plate 501 that works in conjunction with the ventilation fans 5 is fixedly installed at the output end of the adjusting motor 502. The ventilation fans 5 can accelerate the air circulation inside the fermentation chamber 101, and the adjusting motor 502 drives the closing plate 501 to rotate, which can close and seal the ventilation fans 5 when they are not in use, preventing dust and bacteria in the air from entering the fermentation chamber 101 when the ventilation fans 5 are stopped.
[0028] A rotary motor 301 is fixedly installed at the top inside the support base 201. The output end of the rotary motor 301 extends into the fermentation chamber 101 and is fixedly installed with a drive gear 303. A gear ring 304 that works with the drive gear 303 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating shelf 3. The drive gear 303 at the output end of the rotary motor 301 meshes with the gear ring 304 at the bottom of the rotating shelf 3. When the rotary motor 301 is started, it drives the drive gear 303 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 304 to rotate, and finally makes the rotating shelf 3 rotate, which facilitates the continuous rotation of the soybean product raw materials by the rotating shelf 3.
[0029] An observation window 105 is fixedly installed inside the closed door 102, and a sunshade accordion panel 8 is fixedly installed on the front of the closed door 102. One end of the sunshade accordion panel 8 is connected to an operating rod 801 that is slidably installed on the front of the closed door 102. The observation window 105 allows staff to observe and understand the fermentation status of the soybean product raw materials inside the fermentation chamber 101. Staff can pull down and extend the sunshade accordion panel 8 using the operating rod 801 to block light from entering the observation window 105 and affecting the fermentation of the soybean products.
[0030] A liquid replenishment pipe 602 is fixedly installed on the top of the humidifier 6. The liquid replenishment pipe 602 makes it easy for the staff to add water to the humidifier 6 later, ensuring the stability of the humidifier 6 during long-term operation.
[0031] A locking plate 103 is fixedly installed on one side of the fermentation chamber 101, and a locking rod 104 that works in conjunction with the locking plate 103 is fixedly installed on one side of the closing door 102. The locking plate 103 and the locking rod 104 can lock the fermentation chamber 101 when the closing door 102 is closed, ensuring the stability of the fermentation chamber 101 when the closing door 102 is closed.
[0032] In addition, a maintenance door panel 202 is fixedly installed on one side of the support base 201. The maintenance door panel 202 has heat dissipation holes 203 at equal intervals. The maintenance door panel 202 can close one side of the front of the support base 201. The staff can easily inspect and maintain the inside of the support base 201 by opening the maintenance door panel 202. The heat dissipation holes 203 can ventilate and dissipate heat inside the support base 201.
[0033] During operation, workers manually place the soybean product raw materials onto the rotating shelf 3. The fermentation chamber 101 and the closing door 102 seal the raw materials on the rotating shelf 3. The heating rod 401 heats the interior of the fermentation chamber 101, allowing for high-temperature fermentation of the raw materials on the rotating shelf 3. A protective net 4 provides external isolation and protection for the heating rod 401. The rotating shelf 3 is rotatably installed inside the fermentation chamber 101 via a rotating ring 302. The rotation of the rotating shelf 3 ensures uniform heating and fermentation of the raw materials in each area. During rotation, the turning rake 701 turns the raw materials on the rotating shelf 3. The extension and retraction of the electric push rod 7 adjusts the turning rake 701, facilitating the turning of the raw materials at different locations each time. The turning ensures the uniformity of heating of the raw materials for soy products, improving the uniformity of fermentation during processing. The ventilation pipe 106 ventilates the interior of the fermentation chamber 101, preventing the growth of anaerobic bacteria. Simultaneously, the HEPA filter 107 filters the air entering the fermentation chamber 101, preventing dust and bacteria from contaminating the raw materials and improving the stability of fermentation. The support base 201 supports the bottom of the fermentation chamber 101, ensuring its stability during operation. The humidifier 6 and humidification pipe 601 humidify the interior of the fermentation chamber 101, ensuring proper humidity and preventing dryness.
