[0041] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] This embodiment relates to a probiotic mixed fermentation device, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a tank body 1, a sealing cover 2, a stirring mechanism, and a discharge mechanism 3.

[0043] The tank 1 has an opening 4 at the top, a sealing cover 2 is fastened to the opening 4, a stirring mechanism is installed on the tank 1 and is inserted into the tank 1 through the sealing cover 2 for mixing, a discharge mechanism 3 is connected to the bottom of the tank 1, a heater 5 is also provided at the bottom of the tank 1 to ensure that the tank 1 maintains a constant temperature, a support leg 6 is provided at the bottom of the tank 1 for support, and an oxygen supply pipe 7 is passed through the sealing cover 2 into the tank 1.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that probiotics and other mixed materials are added into tank 1 through opening 4, and then the sealing cap 2 is fastened to opening 4. The sealing cap 2 and tank 1 can be fastened with fasteners, such as bolts 303 and nuts. Holes for bolts 303 to be inserted are made on the cap and tank 1 to achieve the fastening of bolts 303 and nuts. The stirring mechanism can improve fermentation efficiency. It is installed on tank 1 and installed separately from the sealing cap 2, which can improve the efficiency of feeding. The discharge mechanism 3 is located at the bottom of tank 1. The bottom of tank 1 is set as conical to ensure that tank 1 can be emptied as much as possible during discharge, improving the discharge efficiency. The heater 5 is located at the bottom of tank 1 and works with the stirring mechanism to ensure that the stability of the contents of tank 1 remains constant, thereby improving the activity of probiotics. The flow pipe 7 can provide oxygen to the contents of tank 1 and provide oxygen to aerobic probiotics, thereby promoting growth and metabolic activities. Of course, the flow pipe 7 can be closed when not needed.

[0045] Based on the above overall introduction, this embodiment presents an exemplary structure of a probiotic mixed fermentation device, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the stirring mechanism includes a drive unit 8 rotatably mounted on the tank body 1 and a stirring unit 9 rotatably mounted on the sealing cover 2. The stirring unit 9 and the sealing cover 2 are interlocked. Specifically, the purpose of the drive unit 8 rotating on the tank body 1 is that when adding materials, the drive unit 8 can be rotated out first, and then the sealing cover 2 can be removed. This design eliminates the need to consider the length of the stirring unit 9, allowing it to be directly pulled out of the tank body 1, making it more flexible to use. After adding materials, the sealing cover 2 is fastened to the opening 4, and the drive unit 8 is rotated back to interlock with the stirring unit 9. This design facilitates the connection between the drive unit 8 and the stirring unit 9 and ensures that the drive unit 8 drives the stirring unit 9 to rotate.

[0046] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, the stirring unit 9 in this embodiment includes a through hole 901 on the sealing cover 2, a connecting rod 902 rotatably disposed in the opening 4, and a stirring rod 903 fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 902. The stirring rod 903 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting rod 902. Specifically, a sleeve can be inserted into the through hole 901, and the connecting rod 902 is connected to the sleeve by a bearing. The bottom of the sleeve and the connecting rod 902 are connected by a dynamic seal. The dynamic seal is a common sealing method in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The bottom of the connecting rod 902 and the top of the stirring rod 903 are fixedly connected by bolts 303. This arrangement facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the stirring rod 903. After the drive unit 8 rotates back, it engages with the connecting rod 902. This arrangement ensures that the stirring rod 903 can perform stirring, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0047] As a preferred option, such as Figure 4As shown, the drive unit 8 in this embodiment includes a support frame 801 rotatably mounted on the side of the tank 1, a motor 802 mounted on the support frame 801 to drive the stirring unit 9 to rotate, and a driven shaft 803 passing through the support frame 801 and engaging with the stirring unit 9. Pulleys 804 are respectively mounted on the driven shaft 803 and the motor 802. Specifically, the support frame 801 extends towards the stirring unit 9, the driven shaft 803 passes through the support frame 801 and engages with the connecting rod 902, the driven shaft 803 and the support frame 801 rotate via bearings, and the two pulleys 804 are connected by a belt. When the motor 802 starts, it drives the two pulleys 804 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the connecting rod 902 and the stirring rod 903, thus achieving stirring.

[0048] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting rod 902 has a groove 904 at its top, and the driven shaft 803 has a protrusion 805 at its bottom that inserts into the groove 904. Specifically, the groove 904 is an open slot with four openings, and the two sides and the top are connected. Since the connecting rod 902 and the driven shaft 803 are located on the same axis, when the protrusion 805 of the driven shaft 803 rotates, it can be directly inserted into the groove 904. With this configuration, when the motor 802 drives the driven shaft 803 to rotate, the connecting rod 902 and the stirring rod 903 rotate accordingly. When the drive unit 8 rotates out, the protrusion 805 directly separates from the groove 904. This configuration ensures that the sealing cover 2 and the drive unit 8 can switch between a separated state and a snap-fit ​​state, improving the flexibility of the device and facilitating the opening and closing of the sealing cover 2. When it is necessary to open the cover for stirring, it is only necessary to connect the stirring rod 903 and the driven shaft 803 through a coupling.

[0049] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the discharge mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a pipe 301 connected to the bottom of the tank 1, and a lifting rod 302 that is raised and lowered within the pipe 301 for opening and closing the pipe 301. A bolt 303 is screwed to the bottom of the lifting rod 302, and the bolt 303 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the pipe 301. Specifically, the top of the pipe 301 is connected to the tank 1, and the bottom of the pipe 301 is rotatably connected to the bolt 303. When the bolt 303 is rotated, the bolt 303 pushes the lifting rod 302 to slide within the pipe 301. A plug 304 with the same diameter as the pipe 301 is provided at the top of the lifting rod 302. The plug 304 and the pipe 301 separate to discharge material. When the plug 304 and the pipe 301 overlap, the discharge stops. A discharge port 305 is provided on the side of the pipe 301, and the fermented mixture is discharged from the discharge port 305.

[0050] The probiotic mixing fermentation device in this embodiment improves the stability and efficiency of the fermentation process through an integrated temperature control and oxygen supply system; the design of the stirring mechanism makes the material mixing more uniform, improving fermentation efficiency; the optimized design of the discharge mechanism 3 makes the material discharge faster and more thorough, improving production efficiency and reducing material waste; the overall structural design simplifies the operation process and improves the ease of use of the equipment.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
