Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production and processing equipment technology, specifically to a fermentation device for noni pomace fertilizer. Background Technology
[0002] Noni fruit fermentation is a biotransformation technology based on the action of natural microorganisms, primarily applied to the sustainable utilization of noni fruit resources in tropical regions. Noni fruit is rich in active ingredients (such as polysaccharides and flavonoids), but fresh fruit has a sour and astringent taste and is easily perishable. Fermentation effectively degrades pectin and fiber, releasing nutrients and generating beneficial metabolites (such as short-chain fatty acids). This technology can treat the pomace after juicing, reducing agricultural waste pollution, and can also produce high-value-added enzyme drinks, functional foods, or organic fertilizers. It is suitable for food processing, ecological agriculture, and the health industry, providing a solution with both economic and environmental benefits, especially for major noni fruit producing areas in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.
[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: In the existing technology, the "Noni Fruit Fermentation and Separation Device" with the publication number CN209456457U "includes a flange that is fastened to the upper end of the fermentation tank and the fermentation tank cover, an electric motor and a water inlet pipe are installed on the fermentation tank cover, the drive shaft of the electric motor is connected downward to a stirring paddle, the stirring paddle extends into the fermentation tank; a sight glass is installed on the side wall of the fermentation tank; the lower part of the fermentation tank is conical, a filter screen plate is horizontally fixed at the half-section of the cone, a primary liquid outlet is installed at the lower part of the cone; an upper slag outlet pipe is connected to the side wall of the cone above the filter screen plate; the upper slag outlet pipe is connected downward to the fruit pomace storage tank, the bottom outlet of the fruit pomace storage tank is connected downward to the middle slag outlet pipe, and the lower end of the middle slag outlet pipe is connected downward to the hopper of the screw dewatering machine.
[0004] The aforementioned device, through the combination of a fermentation tank, filter screen, and residue discharge pipe, achieves complete automatic separation of enzymes and pulp in noni fruit pulp. However, this structure does not improve the preparation steps in the early stage of noni fruit fermentation. Currently, the noni fruit fermentation and chopping operation is often done manually, which is inefficient, results in unevenly sized pieces, and requires manual collection after each batch of chopped noni fruit, indicating a low level of automation. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fermentation device for noni fruit pomace fertilizer, which solves the current problems.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fermentation device for noni pomace fertilizer, comprising a main support, a shaft support frame, a control panel, and a first motor. The shaft support frame is disposed on the side end of the main support, the control panel is disposed on the side end of the shaft support frame, and the first motor is disposed above the side end of the main support.
[0007] A drive bracket is provided on the side of the main support, and a material ejection baffle is provided on the upper end of the main support.
[0008] The ejector baffle also includes a slider, a rack, a drive gear, and a second motor. The slider is fixedly connected to the side of the ejector baffle, the rack is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ejector baffle, the tooth groove of the drive gear meshes with the rack, and the second motor is inserted into the side of the drive gear.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the rack and the ejector baffle are connected at right angles, and the drive gear is also provided with a shaft structure in the middle, and is movably connected to the bottom of the main support through the shaft structure.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the main support further includes a central sliding groove and a limiting groove. The central sliding groove is opened at the upper middle part of the main support, and the limiting groove is opened inside the upper side wall of the main support.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the slider and the rack are respectively embedded in the limiting groove and the middle sliding groove, and a sliding connection is established between them.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the drive bracket further includes a drive shaft, a cam drive roller, a speed plate, a support column and a spring. The drive shaft passes through the side end of the drive bracket and is movably connected to the shaft seat frame, and the other side is inserted into the side end of the first motor. The cam drive roller is sleeved around the drive shaft.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the fast pressing plate is generally rectangular in shape, with an inverted trapezoidal structure arranged at equal intervals at its bottom end, and four sets of rectangular block structures on both sides.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rectangular structure on the side of the pressure plate, and the spring is sleeved around the support column.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a fermentation device for noni pomace fertilizer:
[0016] A fermentation device for noni fruit pomace fertilizer comprises a drive support, a transmission shaft, a cam drive roller, a spring, a high-speed pressure plate, and a discharge baffle. During operation, the operator controls a first motor and a second motor via a control panel. After the noni fruit fermentation material is placed on the upper part of the main support, the first motor starts. The first motor drives the cam drive roller to rotate via the transmission shaft. As the cam drive roller rotates, its convex side presses against the high-speed pressure plate, compressing the spring and moving downwards under the constraint of the support column until the bottom protrusion contacts and crushes the noni fruit. Then, the convex side of the cam drive roller rotates to another direction, the upper part of the high-speed pressure plate loses pressure, and the spring rebounds, lifting the high-speed pressure plate back to its original position. This process is repeated until the high-speed pressure plate rapidly crushes the noni fruit. Then, the second motor starts and drives a rack via a drive gear. As the rack moves, it moves the upper discharge baffle. The discharge baffle, limited by a central chute and a limiting groove, pushes the crushed noni fruit towards the edge of the main support for collection and processing by the operator.
[0017] Through the above settings and processes, this structure achieves the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. Compared with the existing noni fruit fermentation equipment, a high-speed pressing system consisting of a cam drive roller, a drive shaft, and a high-speed pressing plate has been added. This system can perform high-frequency crushing of noni fruit in a short time without manual crushing, thus improving the degree of automation and making the crushing more uniform.
[0019] 2. Through the cooperation of the unloading baffle, limiting groove, rack and pinion and drive gear, the noni fruit can be automatically taken out of the working range of the high-speed pressing mechanism after being crushed. This not only further improves the degree of automation, but also avoids the machine crushing the fruit when it is manually removed, thus improving safety. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In this embodiment: a fermentation device for noni fruit pomace fertilizer includes a main support 1, a shaft support frame 2, a control panel 3, and a first motor 5. The shaft support frame 2 is located on the side of the main support 1, the control panel 3 is located on the side of the shaft support frame 2, and the first motor 5 is located above the side of the main support 1.
[0027] A drive bracket 4 is provided on the side of the main support 1, and a material ejection baffle 6 is provided on the upper end of the main support 1.
[0028] The ejector baffle 6 also includes a slider 601, a rack 602, a drive gear 603, and a second motor 604. The slider 601 is fixedly connected to the side of the ejector baffle 6, the rack 602 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the ejector baffle 6, the tooth groove of the drive gear 603 meshes with the rack 602, and the second motor 604 is inserted into the side of the drive gear 603.
[0029] In this embodiment, the rack 602 and the ejector baffle 6 are connected at right angles. The drive gear 603 is also provided with a shaft structure in the middle and is movably connected to the bottom of the main support 1 through the shaft structure. The main support 1 also includes a central sliding groove 101 and a limiting groove 102. The central sliding groove 101 is opened at the upper middle part of the main support 1, and the limiting groove 102 is opened inside the upper side wall of the main support 1.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the ejector baffle 6 is connected to the rack 602 at a right angle, and can be driven laterally when the rack 602 moves, thus serving as the travel path for pushing the fruit residue.
[0031] In this embodiment, the slider 601 and the rack 602 are respectively embedded in the limiting groove 102 and the middle sliding groove 101, and a sliding connection is established between them; the drive bracket 4 also includes a drive shaft 401, a cam drive roller 402, a fast pressure plate 403, a support column 404 and a spring 405. The drive shaft 401 passes through the side end of the drive bracket 4 and is movably connected to the shaft seat 2, and the other side is inserted into the side end of the first motor 5. The cam drive roller 402 is sleeved around the drive shaft 401.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the downward pressing motion of the pressure plate 403 is controlled by the cam drive roller 402 and then reset by the spring 405. Its pressing frequency is determined by the operating power of the first motor 5.
[0033] In this embodiment, the quick-pressing plate 403 has a rectangular structure, with an inverted trapezoidal structure arranged at equal intervals at its bottom end, and four sets of rectangular block structures on both sides.

After the noni fruit fermentation raw material is placed on the upper end of the main support 1, the first motor 5 is started. The first motor 5 drives the cam drive roller 402 to rotate through the drive shaft 401. When the cam drive roller 402 rotates, the convex side presses the speed plate 403, the speed plate 403 compresses the spring 405, and moves downward under the limit of the support column 404 until the bottom protrusion contacts the noni fruit and crushes it. Then the convex side of the cam drive roller 402 rotates to other directions, the upper end of the speed plate 403 loses pressure, and the spring 405 rebounds to lift the speed plate 403 back to its original position. Repeat the above steps until the fast press plate 403 quickly crushes the noni fruit, then the second motor 604 starts and drives the rack 602 to move through the drive gear 603. When the rack 602 moves, it drives the upper discharge baffle 6 to move. Under the limit of the middle slide groove 101 and the limiting groove 102, the discharge baffle 6 pushes the crushed noni fruit to the edge of the main support 1 so that the operator can collect and process it.
