Technical Field

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

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, yogurt, due to its rich nutritional components and unique flavor, is increasingly favored by consumers. Yogurt is rich in nutrients such as protein, calcium, and probiotics, which are beneficial to intestinal health and suitable for people of all ages. The increasing consumer demand for yogurt has prompted yogurt manufacturers to expand their production scale, thereby increasing the demand for yogurt fermentation equipment to meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0003] Currently, one type of yogurt production fermentation device is equipped with a scraper to remove yogurt stuck to the inner wall of the fermentation tank. However, the stirring rod itself also gets covered with a lot of yogurt, making it difficult to clean and resulting in incomplete scraping, waste, and significant limitations, making it impractical. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing technologies, which, although equipped with scrapers to remove yogurt adhering to the inner wall of the fermentation tank, also have a large amount of yogurt adhering to the stirring rod itself, making cleaning inconvenient, scraping incomplete, wasteful, and having significant limitations and poor practicality. Therefore, this invention proposes a yogurt production fermentation device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a yogurt production fermentation device, comprising a fermentation tank, a temperature control plate installed inside the fermentation tank, a top cover installed at the top of the fermentation tank, a support frame provided inside the top cover, a stirring column provided inside the support frame, a connecting plate fixed to the outer wall of the top of the stirring column, both ends of the connecting plate being fixed to the support frame, a fixing frame fixed to the top of the support frame, a first telescopic rod installed at the bottom of the fixing frame, a first scraper ring slidably connected to the outer wall of the stirring column, the output end of the first telescopic rod being fixed to the first scraper ring, a driving structure for driving the stirring column to move in multiple directions provided inside the top cover, an inner cavity opened at the bottom of the top cover, a fourth telescopic rod installed on the inner top wall of the inner cavity, and a second scraper ring matching the inner wall of the fermentation tank being fixed to the output end of the fourth telescopic rod.

[0006] Preferably, the drive structure includes a second telescopic rod installed on the inner wall of the top cover, the output end of the second telescopic rod is fixed to a movable frame, a third telescopic rod is installed on the inner wall of the movable frame, and the output end of the third telescopic rod is fixed to a support frame.

[0007] Preferably, a discharge pipe is fixed to the bottom of the fermenter, a control valve is installed on the outer wall of the discharge pipe, and a second sealing cap is threaded to the bottom of the discharge pipe.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the support frame and the movable frame are fixed with stabilizing blocks, and the inner walls of the top cover and the movable frame are provided with stabilizing grooves that match the stabilizing blocks.

[0009] Preferably, a screw sleeve is fixed to the top of the top cover, and a first sealing cap is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, the fermenter has four legs evenly distributed at the bottom, and each of the four legs has a rubbing plate fixed to its bottom. The top cover has a sealing plate fixed to its bottom, and the sealing plate is fixed to the fermenter by bolts.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] In this invention, the stirring column is a smooth cylinder, unlike traditional stirring rods which have sharp edges. This reduces the amount of sticky yogurt. The operation of the first telescopic rod causes the first scraper ring to descend, which scrapes away the sticky yogurt from the outer wall of the stirring column, thus cleaning the column. Furthermore, the fourth telescopic rod causes the second scraper ring to descend, further scraping away the sticky yogurt from the inner wall of the fermentation tank. This results in a more thorough cleaning and greater practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: the temperature inside the fermentation tank 1 is controlled by the operation of the temperature control plate 2; the stirring column 5 is a smooth cylinder, unlike traditional stirring rods which have sharp edges, so there is not much sticky yogurt; the operation of the first telescopic rod 8 can drive the first scraper ring 9 to descend, which will scrape off the sticky yogurt on the outer wall of the stirring column 5, thus cleaning the stirring column 5; the fourth telescopic rod 16 can drive the second scraper ring 17 to descend, thereby scraping off the sticky yogurt on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, making the cleaning more comprehensive and more practical; the operation of the drive structure 10 can drive the stirring column 5 to move in multiple directions, thereby achieving the effect of stirring the yogurt in the fermentation tank 1.

[0022] Example 2, as Figure 1-4 As shown, the drive structure 10 includes a second telescopic rod 1001 installed on the inner wall of the top cover 3. A movable frame 1002 is fixed to the output end of the second telescopic rod 1001. A third telescopic rod 1003 is installed on the inner wall of the movable frame 1002. The output end of the third telescopic rod 1003 is fixed to the support frame 4. A discharge pipe 20 is fixed to the bottom end of the fermenter 1. A control valve 21 is installed on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 20. A second sealing cap 22 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the discharge pipe 20. The support frame 4 and... Stabilizing blocks 11 are fixed at both ends of the movable frame 1002. Stabilizing grooves 12 matching the stabilizing blocks 11 are opened on the inner walls of the top cover 3 and the movable frame 1002. A screw sleeve 13 is fixed at the top of the top cover 3. A first sealing cover 14 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw sleeve 13. Four support legs 23 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. A rubbing plate 24 is fixed at the bottom of each of the four support legs 23. A sealing plate 18 is fixed at the bottom of the top cover 3. The sealing plate 18 is fixed to the fermentation tank 1 by bolts 19.

[0023] The overall effect of Embodiment 2 is that the operation of the second telescopic rod 1001 can drive the entire moving frame 1002 to move laterally, thereby driving the stirring column 5 to move laterally. The operation of the third telescopic rod 1003 can drive the entire support frame 4 to move vertically, thereby driving the stirring column 5 to move vertically, so that the stirring column 5 can move in multiple directions to stir the yogurt in the fermentation tank 1. The first sealing cover 14 and the second sealing cover 22 can seal the upper and lower ends of the fermentation tank 1. The opening and closing of the control valve 21 can control whether the yogurt in the fermentation tank 1 is discharged. The setting of the stabilizing block 11 and the stabilizing groove 12 can provide stable support for the support frame 4 and the moving frame 1002, making their movement more stable.

[0024] Working principle: When in use, the device utilizes a smooth cylindrical stirring column 5, unlike traditional stirring rods which have sharp edges, to remove excess sticky yogurt. The first telescopic rod 8 lowers the first scraper ring 9, which scrapes away the sticky yogurt from the outer wall of the stirring column 5, effectively cleaning it. The fourth telescopic rod 16 lowers the second scraper ring 17, further cleaning the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, resulting in more thorough cleaning and enhanced practicality. The temperature control plate 2 controls the fermentation process. The temperature inside the fermentation tank 1 is controlled by the operation of the second telescopic rod 1001, which causes the moving frame 1002 to move laterally, thereby causing the stirring column 5 to move laterally. The operation of the third telescopic rod 1003 causes the support frame 4 to move vertically, thereby causing the stirring column 5 to move vertically. This allows the stirring column 5 to move in multiple directions to stir the yogurt inside the fermentation tank 1. The first sealing cover 14 and the second sealing cover 22 are used to seal the upper and lower ends of the fermentation tank 1. The opening and closing of the control valve 21 controls whether the yogurt inside the fermentation tank 1 is discharged.
