Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Astragalus fermentation technology, specifically a constant temperature device for Astragalus fermentation. Background Technology
[0002] Astragalus fermentation is a process that utilizes microorganisms to biotransform astragalus, aiming to enhance its efficacy and bioavailability. During fermentation, specific microbial strains undergo complex biochemical reactions with the astragalus substrate. These microbial strains secrete various enzymes that break down components in astragalus, such as cellulose, lignin, and pectin, facilitating the release of the active ingredients.
[0003] Existing methods for fermenting Astragalus involve pulverizing the Astragalus into powder, mixing it with water, and then adding fermentation bacteria. However, during fermentation, particles tend to settle in the water, accumulating at the bottom and hindering oxygen intake, thus affecting the fermentation process. Therefore, we propose a temperature-controlled device for Astragalus fermentation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a constant temperature device for Astragalus fermentation, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a constant temperature device for Astragalus fermentation, comprising a first tank and a second tank, wherein the second tank is fixedly mounted inside the cavity of the first tank, and a plurality of evenly distributed electric heating plates are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the second tank, and a cover plate is detachably fixed to the top of the first tank, and further comprising:
[0006] A hollow shaft, which penetrates the cover plate and extends to the lower side of the inner cavity of the second tank, and a plurality of evenly distributed blades are fixedly connected to the tail end of the hollow shaft.
[0007] A drive assembly is mounted on the top of the cover plate and is used to drive the hollow shaft to rotate.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the material to be fermented is first introduced into the inner cavity of the second tank, and an appropriate amount of water and fermentation bacteria are added. Then, fermentation takes place in the second tank, and an electric heating plate is used for heating to ensure that the fermentation temperature is sufficient. During the fermentation process, the hollow shaft is driven to rotate by the drive component, which in turn drives the blades to rotate. The blades are tilted so that the material deposited at the bottom can be turned up during the stirring process, which helps to avoid the accumulation of material and affect the fermentation.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving component includes:
[0010] A servo motor is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate, and a gear is fixedly connected to the outer end of the drive shaft of the servo motor.
[0011] A gear ring is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of a hollow shaft, and the gear ring meshes with a gear.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the servo motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow shaft to rotate.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the tail end of the hollow shaft is fixedly connected to a plurality of inclined and evenly arranged nozzles, the top of the hollow shaft is connected to a rotary joint, and the top of the rotary joint is fixedly connected to an oxygen pipe.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, during the agitation of the material, oxygen can be introduced into the nozzle along the hollow shaft and then sprayed out along the nozzle. The oxygen discharged from the nozzle will impact the material deposited on the ground, causing the material to move along the arc-shaped surface at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second tank. As the material is blown and impacted against the inner wall of the second tank, it has an upward tendency to move, which can be agitated and tumbled upward by the blades, thus further improving the tumbling effect of the material. At the same time, the gas introduced into the bottom of the inner cavity of the second tank can be evenly distributed in the material, so that the oxygen can be fully utilized, thereby improving the fermentation effect.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a feed pipe is fixedly fixed through the top of the cover plate, and an end cap is detachably connected to the top of the feed pipe.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed pipe is designed to facilitate the introduction of materials into the second tank.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a temperature controller is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first tank, and a temperature sensor is fixedly installed at the tail end of the electric heating plate.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the thermostat, the electric heating plate, and the temperature sensor are electrically connected, thereby enabling the electric heating plate to maintain a constant temperature and thus achieving constant temperature fermentation.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a discharge valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first tank.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the discharge valve is designed to facilitate the discharge of fermented materials.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] The present application provides a constant temperature device for Astragalus fermentation, which drives the hollow shaft to rotate through a rotating component, thereby driving the blades to stir. The blades are set at an angle, so that the material deposited at the bottom can be turned upward during the stirring process, which helps to avoid the accumulation of material and affect the fermentation.
[0023] During the agitation of the material, oxygen can be introduced into the nozzle along the hollow shaft and then sprayed out along the nozzle. The oxygen discharged from the nozzle will impact the material deposited on the ground, causing the material to move along the arc-shaped surface at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second tank. As the material is blown and impacts the inner wall of the second tank, it has an upward tendency to move, which can be agitated and tumbled upward by the blades, thus further improving the material tumbling effect.
[0024] At the same time, gas is introduced into the bottom of the second tank's inner cavity, which allows it to be evenly distributed in the material, thus enabling oxygen to be fully utilized and improving the fermentation effect. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a constant temperature device for Astragalus fermentation, comprising a first tank 1 and a second tank 15, wherein the second tank 15 is fixed inside the cavity of the first tank 1, and a plurality of evenly distributed electric heating plates 16 are fixed to the outer wall of the second tank 15, and a cover plate 11 is detachably fixed to the top of the first tank 1, and further comprising:
[0033] Hollow shaft 2, which penetrates the cover plate 11 and extends to the lower side of the inner cavity of the second tank 15, and a number of evenly distributed blades 26 are fixedly connected to the tail end of the hollow shaft 2.
[0034] A drive assembly is mounted on the top of the cover plate 11 and is used to drive the hollow shaft 2 to rotate.
[0035] It should be understood that in actual use, the material to be fermented is first introduced into the inner cavity of the second tank 15, and an appropriate amount of water and fermentation bacteria are added. Then, fermentation takes place in the second tank 15, and the electric heating plate 16 is used for heating to ensure that the fermentation temperature is sufficient. During the fermentation process, the hollow shaft 2 is driven to rotate by the drive component, which in turn drives the blades 26 to rotate. The blades 26 are tilted so that the material deposited at the bottom can be turned upwards during the stirring process, which helps to avoid the accumulation of material and affect the fermentation.
[0036] Furthermore, a discharge valve 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first tank 1, which facilitates the discharge of the fermented material.
[0037] Furthermore, a temperature controller 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the first tank 1, and a temperature sensor is fixed at the tail end of the electric heating plate 16. The signal of the temperature sensor is pt 100, and the temperature controller 13 is model C2105. The temperature controller 13, the electric heating plate 16, and the temperature sensor are electrically connected, thereby controlling the electric heating plate 16 to maintain a constant temperature, thereby achieving constant temperature fermentation.
[0038] It is worth mentioning that a feed pipe 12 is fixed through the top of the cover plate 11, and an end cap is detachably connected to the top of the feed pipe 12. The feed pipe 12 makes it convenient to introduce materials into the second tank 15.

[0040] Servo motor 25 is fixedly installed on the top of cover plate 11, and gear 24 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the drive shaft of servo motor 25.
[0041] Gear ring 23 is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of hollow shaft 2, and gear ring 23 meshes with gear 24;
[0042] It should be understood that the servo motor 25 drives the gear 24 to rotate, thereby driving the gear ring 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow shaft 2 to rotate.
[0043] like Figure 1 and 3As shown; the tail end of the hollow shaft 2 is fixedly connected to a plurality of inclined and evenly arranged nozzles 27, the top of the hollow shaft 2 is connected to a rotary joint 21, and the top of the rotary joint 21 is fixedly connected to an oxygen tube 22.
[0044] It should be understood that during the agitation of the material, oxygen can be introduced into the nozzle 27 along the hollow shaft 2 and then sprayed out along the nozzle 27. The oxygen discharged from the nozzle 27 will impact the material deposited on the ground, causing the material to move along the arc-shaped surface at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second tank 15. As the material is blown and impacted on the inner wall of the second tank 15, it has an upward tendency to move, and can be agitated and tumbled upward by the blades 26, which is conducive to further improving the tumbling effect of the material. At the same time, the gas introduced into the bottom of the inner cavity of the second tank 15 can be evenly distributed in the material, so that the oxygen can be fully utilized, which is conducive to improving the fermentation effect.
