[0024] It is understood that this utility model controls the device through an external controller and powers it through an external power supply. The output of the first motor 7 drives the adjusting screw 6 to rotate. When the adjusting screw 6 rotates, it moves the outer first adjusting slide plate 5. While the first adjusting slide plate 5 is moving, it moves the feed sealing plate 22 on one side, adjusting the position of the feed sealing plate 22 inside the feed pipe 3, opening the feed pipe 3, and feeding material into the tank cover 2 through the feed pipe 3. After feeding, the feed pipe 3 is closed by the feed sealing plate 22. The output of the second motor 13 drives the rotating rod 10 to rotate. When the rotating rod 10 rotates, it moves the outer first adjusting slide plate 5. When bevel gear 11 rotates, it drives bevel gear 12 to rotate. When bevel gear 12 rotates, it drives the stirring shaft 20 inside the fermentation tank body 1 to rotate. The stirring shaft 20 turns the material inside the fermentation tank body 1. The electric heating plate 21 heats the material to reach the required fermentation temperature. After fermentation, the tank cover 2, which is hinged to the fermentation tank body 1, is opened. The fermented material is then processed from above the fermentation tank body 1. The output end of cylinder 18 drives the second adjusting slide plate 15 and the discharge sealing plate 16 to move upward. The discharge sealing plate 16 leaves the discharge frame 14, and the fermented material inside the fermentation tank body 1 is discharged through the discharge frame 14.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 It also includes a fixed side box 9, which is fixedly connected to one side of the fermentation tank body 1. The stirring shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the fixed side box 9. A rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected inside the fixed side box 9. Two first bevel gears 11 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 10. Two second bevel gears 12 are rotatably arranged inside the fixed side box 9. The second bevel gears 12 are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 20 and mesh with the first bevel gears 11. A second motor 13 is installed on one side of the fixed side box 9. The output end of the second motor 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 10.
[0026] It is understood that in this utility model, the output end of the No. 2 motor 13 drives the rotating rod 10 and the two No. 1 bevel gears 11 on the outside of the rotating rod 10 to rotate synchronously. When the No. 1 bevel gear 11 rotates, it drives the meshing No. 2 bevel gear 12 to rotate and adjust. When the No. 2 bevel gear 12 rotates, it drives the stirring shaft 20 to rotate. The stirring shaft 20 rotates in the fermentation tank body 1 to turn and mix the material in the fermentation tank body 1.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4The top of the tank cover 2 is fixedly connected to two fixed top plates 4. An adjusting screw 6 is rotatably connected between the two fixed top plates 4. An adjusting slide plate 5 is threadedly connected to the outside of the adjusting screw 6. The adjusting slide plate 5 is slidably connected to the tank cover 2. One side of the feed sealing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the adjusting slide plate 5. A limiting slide rod 8 is symmetrically slidably arranged inside the adjusting slide plate 5. The limiting slide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the fixed top plate 4. A motor 7 is arranged on one side of one of the fixed top plates 4. The output end of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the adjusting screw 6.
[0028] It is understood that this utility model drives the adjusting screw 6 to rotate through the output end of the first motor 7. When the adjusting screw 6 rotates, it moves and adjusts the first adjusting slide plate 5 on the outside. When the first adjusting slide plate 5 moves, it drives the feed sealing plate 22 on one side to adjust, so as to facilitate the opening and closing adjustment of the feed pipe 3.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A fixed side plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the fermentation tank body 1. A cylinder 18 is installed on the top of the fixed side plate 17. The output end of the cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the second adjusting slide plate 15. The bottom of the second adjusting slide plate 15 is fixedly connected to the discharge sealing plate 16.
[0030] It is understood that this utility model uses the output end of the cylinder 18 to drive the second adjusting slide plate 15 and the discharge sealing plate 16 for adjustment, and uses the discharge sealing plate 16 to adjust the opening and closing of the discharge frame 14.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The top of the second adjusting slide plate 15 is symmetrically fixed with the second limiting slide rod 19, and the second limiting slide rod 19 is slidably connected to the fixed side plate 17.
[0032] It is understandable that when the output end of the cylinder 18 drives the second adjusting slide plate 15 to move and adjust, the second adjusting slide plate 15 drives the second limiting slide rod 19 at the top to slide against the fixed side plate 17, thereby improving the adjustment stability of the second adjusting slide plate 15 and the discharge sealing plate 16.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 Multiple electric heating plates 21 are installed at equal intervals on the inner side of the fermentation tank body 1.
