Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candied fruit fermentation technology, and in particular to a reaction device for enzymatic hydrolysis of candied fruit fermentation. Background Technology
[0002] Enzymatic hydrolysis in candied fruit fermentation is a food processing technology that involves using microorganisms to ferment under suitable conditions, breaking down the raw materials of candied fruit into simpler substances through the catalytic action of enzymes. This process typically takes place in a specially designed reaction apparatus, which includes tanks for containing the raw materials and microorganisms, stirring mechanisms to promote uniform fermentation, exhaust mechanisms to control gas emissions and prevent environmental pollution, and a circulation system to optimize fermentation conditions. Enzymatic hydrolysis is crucial in this process, helping to break down complex organic matter, such as proteins and cellulose, into nutrients or flavor compounds that are more easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.
[0003] The main raw materials for the candied fruit fermentation enzymatic hydrolysis device include fruits and vegetables with a high sugar-to-acid ratio (such as plums, peaches, apricots, etc.) and sugar sources (such as sugarcane / beet molasses, containing sucrose, glucose, and trace elements), supplemented by nitrogen sources such as soybean meal and wheat bran, as well as microorganisms and enzyme preparations such as yeast, lactic acid bacteria, cellulase / pectinase to optimize the fermentation effect. During the fermentation enzymatic hydrolysis process, the high viscosity of molasses and insufficient mixing of fruit and vegetable fibers may cause the material to adhere to the tank. The reaction tanks of the existing technology are generally designed with a feeding port at the top and a discharge port at the bottom, making it difficult to discharge the material fully. When the inner wall is adhered, it can only be cleaned by rinsing with water. Sometimes, even water rinsing is not enough to clean the stubborn adhering material. At this time, it is necessary to manually move and tilt the tank to clean the inside, which is very troublesome. Therefore, this utility model proposes a reaction device for candied fruit fermentation enzymatic hydrolysis to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0024] Example 1
[0025] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes a reaction device for the enzymatic hydrolysis of candied fruit fermentation, including a fermentation tank 1 and a support 2. Both ends of the support 2 are provided with side rods 3 on the upper side, and a pneumatic cylinder 4 is hinged at the angle between one side of the side rod 3 and the support 2. A first support arm 5 is hinged above one side of the side rod 3, and a second support arm 6 is hinged on the side rod 3 at the position below the first support arm 5.

In use, the fermentation tank 1 carries the raw materials for fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis, and the support assembly supports the fermentation tank 1. When it is necessary to empty or clean the fermentation tank 1, simply drive the pneumatic cylinder 4 to rotate the second arm 6, which in turn drives the support assembly to rotate. This, combined with the rotation of the first arm 5, causes the support assembly and the fermentation tank 1 to tilt downwards, facilitating the full emptying of the fermentation tank 1 and subsequent cleaning. The fermentation tank 1 has a built-in temperature control module to maintain a constant temperature within a certain range, ensuring the fermentation effect.
[0027] The supporting assembly includes side frames 7, a support plate 8, and a base plate 9. Two sets of side frames 7 are provided, and each set is hinged to the first support arm 5 and the second support arm 6 at both ends. The support plate 8 is arc-shaped and connected to one side of the two sets of side frames 7. The base plate 9 is connected to the bottom of the two sets of side frames 7. The fermentation tank 1 is placed inside the support plate 8 and supported on the base plate 9. A stop bar 10 is provided at the upper end between the two sets of side frames 7, and the stop bar 10 is used to limit the position of the fermentation tank 1. In use, the fermentation tank 1 is placed inside the support plate 8 and supported on the base plate 9. When it is necessary to pour out or clean, the pneumatic cylinder 4 drives the second support arm 6 to rotate. The second support arm 6 drives the supporting assembly to rotate, which, in conjunction with the rotation of the first support arm 5, causes the supporting assembly and the fermentation tank 1 to tilt downwards. During this process, the stop bar 10 limits the position of the fermentation tank 1, preventing it from detaching.
[0028] A connecting rod 11 is provided on one side of the inside of the bracket 2 to enhance its stability, and handles 12 are provided at both ends of one side of the bracket 2. Universal wheels 13 are provided at both ends of one bottom side of the bracket 2, and rollers 14 are provided at both ends of the side of the bracket 2 away from the universal wheels 13. In use, the universal wheels 13 and rollers 14 facilitate the movement of the bracket 2, and the handles 12 facilitate the overall repositioning of the device, thus offering diverse functions.
[0029] The side rod 3 has a first hinge lug 15 and a second hinge lug 16 arranged sequentially from top to bottom on one side. One side of the first support arm 5 is hinged to the first hinge lug 15, and one side of the second support arm 6 is hinged to the second hinge lug 16. In use, the fermentation tank 1 carries the raw materials for fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis. The support assembly supports the fermentation tank 1. When it is necessary to empty or clean the fermentation tank 1, simply drive the pneumatic cylinder 4 to push the second support arm 6 to rotate. The second support arm 6 pushes the support assembly to rotate, which, in conjunction with the rotation of the first support arm 5, causes the support assembly and the fermentation tank 1 to tilt downwards.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, this embodiment proposes a reaction device for the enzymatic hydrolysis of candied fruit fermentation, including a fermentation tank 1 and a support 2. Both ends of the support 2 are provided with side rods 3 on the upper side, and a pneumatic cylinder 4 is hinged at the angle between one side of the side rod 3 and the support 2. A first support arm 5 is hinged above one side of the side rod 3, and a second support arm 6 is hinged on the side rod 3 at the position below the first support arm 5. The output end of the pneumatic cylinder 4 is hinged to the middle end of the bottom of the second support arm 6.
[0032] A support assembly is hinged to one side of the first arm 5 and the second arm 6, and the fermentation tank 1 is located inside the support assembly. In use, the fermentation tank 1 carries the raw materials for fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis, and the support assembly supports the fermentation tank 1. When it is necessary to empty or clean the fermentation tank 1, simply drive the pneumatic cylinder 4 to rotate the second arm 6, which in turn drives the support assembly to rotate. This, combined with the rotation of the first arm 5, causes the support assembly and the fermentation tank 1 to tilt downwards, facilitating the full emptying of the fermentation tank 1 and subsequent cleaning. The fermentation tank 1 has a built-in temperature control module to maintain a constant temperature within a certain range, ensuring the fermentation effect.
[0033] A connecting rod 11 is provided on one side of the inside of the bracket 2 to enhance its stability, and handles 12 are provided at both ends of one side of the bracket 2.

[0034] The fermentation tank 1 includes a tank body 17 and a sealing cover 18. The sealing cover 18 is placed on top of the tank body 17, and its edge is fixed to the tank body 17 by fastening bolts 19. A motor 20 is located at the middle of the top of the sealing cover 18, and the output end of the motor 20 has a stirring rod 21 extending into the tank body 17. A gas valve 22 is provided on the sealing cover 18. In use, the sealing cover 18 is opened and raw materials are poured into the tank body 17. Then, the sealing cover 18 is locked with the fastening bolts 19. The motor 20 drives the stirring rod 21 to stir the raw materials, assisting in fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis. During this process, gas is periodically released through the gas valve 22. When it is necessary to pour, the sealing cover 18 is opened, and the pneumatic cylinder 4 is driven to push the second support arm 6 to rotate. The second support arm 6 pushes the support assembly to rotate, which, in conjunction with the rotation connection of the first support arm 5, causes the support assembly and the fermentation tank 1 to tilt downwards.
[0035] This reaction apparatus for fermenting and enzymatically hydrolyzing candied fruit uses a support assembly to support the fermentation tank 1. When it is necessary to empty or clean the fermentation tank 1, simply drive the pneumatic cylinder 4 to rotate the second arm 6. The second arm 6 then rotates the support assembly, which, in conjunction with the rotation of the first arm 5, causes the support assembly and the fermentation tank 1 to tilt downwards, facilitating the full emptying of the fermentation tank 1 and simplifying subsequent cleaning. Simultaneously, the casters 13 and 14 facilitate the movement of the support frame 2, and the handle 12 allows for easy repositioning of the entire apparatus, making it versatile in function.
