Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a fermentation device for dairy processing that facilitates the filtration of impurities includes a support frame 101. An mounting ring 104 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 101. A left motor frame 102, a right motor frame 114, and a fermentation tank 105 are fixedly mounted on the mounting ring 104. A positioning motor 103 is fixedly mounted on the left motor frame 102, and the output end of the positioning motor 103 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 104. A rotating ring 107 is rotatably mounted on the fermentation tank 105, and an inner cylinder 108 is slidably mounted on the rotating ring 107. A pressing plate 109 is fixedly mounted on one end of the inner cylinder 108 near the mounting ring 104. The pressing plate 109 has filter holes and a mesh screen. The inner cylinder 108 has a threaded groove. A toothed ring 111 is rotatably mounted on the rotating ring 107, and a threaded slider is mounted on the toothed ring 111. The threaded slider of the toothed ring 111 engages with the threaded groove of the inner cylinder 108.

[0025] Specifically, before fermentation, the rotating ring 107 is controlled to rotate on the fermentation tank 105, changing its position from horizontal to outward tilting. This means that from a state where the rotating ring 107 is in contact with the opening at the top of the fermentation tank 105, it rotates at a certain angle, causing the rotating ring 107 to disengage from the opening. The inner cylinder 108 on the rotating ring 107 is then positioned closer to the positioning motor 103, thus exposing the opening at the top of the fermentation tank 105. This allows workers to easily place the dairy products to be fermented into the fermentation tank 105. Then, the rotating ring 107 is reset, re-engaging with the fermentation tank 105. The opening of the fermentation tank 105 is sealed by the inner cylinder 108 and the extrusion plate 109. The filter and mesh on the extrusion plate 109 act as a barrier, preventing external substances from entering. A sealing cap can be installed on the inner cylinder 108 for further sealing. The entire device is then placed inside the fermentation chamber for fermentation.

[0026] After fermentation, the product is removed. The fermentation status of the dairy product in the fermentation tank 105 is observed by controlling the rotation of the rotating ring 107. If fermentation is complete or meets the requirements, the rotating ring 107 is brought into contact with and fixed to the fermentation tank 105. Then, the positioning motor 103 is started, which drives the mounting ring 104 to rotate, thereby causing the fermentation tank 105 and the rotating ring 107 to rotate by an angle, thus changing the fermentation tank 105 from vertical to tilted to the left. Then, the toothed ring 111 on the rotating ring 107 is driven to rotate, and the threaded slider on the toothed ring 111 drives the product to rotate. The moving inner cylinder 108 moves downward on the rotating ring 107, so that the extrusion plate 109 on the inner cylinder 108 approaches and contacts the dairy products in the fermentation tank 105. During the continuous downward movement of the extrusion plate 109, the dairy products are pressurized, so that the whey is separated, passes through the filter holes and mesh of the extrusion plate 109, and falls down by the gravity of the whey itself when the device is tilted. According to the whey requirements for the production of dairy products, the degree and time of extrusion by the extrusion plate 109 are controlled to obtain dairy products with different dryness, which facilitates the production of dairy products with different dryness.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, an upper limit ring 115 is fixedly provided at the end of the inner cylinder 108 away from the mounting ring 104. The upper limit ring 115 has an outwardly protruding ring to isolate this end of the inner cylinder 108 from the outside. Specifically, the upper limit ring 115 on the inner cylinder 108 protects the upper end of the inner cylinder 108 to prevent this end from colliding with other parts.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an arc-shaped limiting plate 106 is fixedly installed on the support frame 101. The arc-shaped limiting plate 106 is provided with two arc-shaped grooves. The arc-shaped groove closer to the mounting ring 104 matches the specifications of the toothed ring 111, and the arc-shaped groove farther away from the mounting ring 104 matches the specifications of the protruding ring on the upper limit ring 115.

[0029] Specifically, when the fermentation tank 105 rotates, the upper limit ring 115 on the inner cylinder 108 contacts the arc-shaped groove of the arc-shaped limiting plate 106 away from the mounting ring 104. Thus, when the toothed ring 111 drives the inner cylinder 108 to move, the inner cylinder 108 drives the upper limit ring 115 to slide on the arc-shaped groove of the arc-shaped limiting plate 106, while the toothed ring 111 is on the arc-shaped groove of the arc-shaped limiting plate 106 close to the mounting ring 104, but the toothed ring 111 does not contact the arc-shaped limiting plate 106. The contact between the upper limit ring 115 and the arc-shaped limiting plate 106 ensures the degree of rotation of the fermentation tank 105, and avoids the fermentation tank 105 from rotating further due to inertia because of the weight of the dairy products inside the fermentation tank 105, which would cause the inner cylinder 108 and other parts to collide.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a filter motor 113 is fixedly mounted on the right motor frame 114. A gear 112 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the filter motor 113. The end of the gear 112 away from the filter motor 113 has a rounded chamfer. The gear 112 meshes with a gear ring 111. Specifically, both the right motor frame 114 and the left motor frame 102 are provided with ventilation holes to dissipate heat from the positioning motor 103 and the filter motor 113. The chamfer on the gear 112 ensures that the gear ring 111 will not make excessive hard contact with the gear 112 when it falls, reducing impact and preventing damage to parts, thus extending its service life.

[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple sliding rods 117 are fixedly mounted on the rotating ring 107, and control rods 110 are slidably mounted on the sliding rods 117. Each control rod 110 has four outwardly extending rods. Specifically, two rods are arranged in groups of two, with each group positioned above the filter motor 113 and the positioning motor 103, respectively. When the mounting ring 104 rotates, it drives the control rods 110 to rotate around the axis of the mounting ring 104. The control rods 110 will not interfere with the positioning motor 103 or the gear 112.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of buckles 116 are fixedly provided on the fermentation tank 105 to restrict the movement of the rotating ring 107.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the buckle 116 is a classic buckle structure. The buckle 116 cooperates with the slot of the rotating ring 107. When the rotating ring 107 falls and engages with the upper end of the fermentation tank 105, the weight of the rotating ring 107 and its related parts causes the slot on the rotating ring 107 to push the inclined surface on the buckle 116. When the rotating ring 107 is in full contact with the fermentation tank 105, the protrusion at the inclined end of the buckle 116 loses its pushing force, thereby fixing the rotating ring 107. This facilitates the subsequent control of the inner cylinder 108 sliding on the rotating ring 107. The squeezing plate 109 on the inner cylinder 108 squeezes and filters the fermented dairy products in the fermentation tank 105.

[0034] When filtration is complete and the rotating ring 107 needs to be opened to disengage it from the fermentation tank 105, the operator controls the control lever 110. By pressing down on the control lever 110, the control lever 110 slides downward on the slide bar 117. The control lever 110 contacts and pushes the inclined surface at the upper end of the buckle 116, causing the upper end of the buckle 116 to gradually move away from the slot of the rotating ring 107 and eventually disengage from the restriction on the rotating ring 107. Then, the control lever 110 is raised at the end away from the left motor frame 102 and pressed down at the end close to the left motor frame 102. Thus, the control lever 110 drives the rotating ring 107 to rotate on the fermentation tank 105 through the restriction of the slide bar 117. The rotating ring 107 disengages from the opening of the fermentation tank 105, and the operator removes the dairy products from the fermentation tank 105.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
