Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a modular combined food fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the food industry, the requirements for the output and quality of fermented foods are increasing. Traditional single fermentation tanks often suffer from insufficient capacity and poor flexibility when facing large-scale production. Modular combined food fermentation tanks have emerged to address this issue. They can flexibly adjust the scale and function of the fermentation tank according to production needs through the combination of multiple modules, meeting the production requirements of fermented foods with different outputs and varieties.

[0003] A typical modular food fermentation tank consists of a tank body, a connecting device, and a lid. The tank body, as the core component, provides a closed and suitable space for food fermentation. The connecting device is used to connect the tank body and the lid to prevent external impurities from entering. The lid covers the top of the tank body to block external interference factors.

[0004] In existing technologies, some devices often struggle to quickly and securely connect the lid to the tank body when changing different lids. Common connection methods rely on complex fastening structures, which are cumbersome and time-consuming. Moreover, even if the connection is completed, a good seal cannot be guaranteed. Poor sealing can allow external air and impurities to enter the tank, interfering with the food fermentation process and failing to meet the stringent requirements of food fermentation for a sealed environment. Therefore, a modular combined food fermentation tank is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular combined food fermentation tank, which aims to improve the problem that some devices in the prior art cannot quickly and securely connect the lid to the tank body when changing different lids, resulting in the inability to seal the tank body well and thus failing to meet the requirements of the container sealing environment for food fermentation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a modular combined food fermentation tank, including a tank body 1. The tank body 1 serves as the main container for food fermentation, providing a relatively sealed and stable environment for the fermentation process. A connecting mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the tank body 1, and a tank cover 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1. The tank cover 3 seals the tank body 1, preventing outside air, dust and microorganisms from entering the tank body 1, ensuring a pure environment for the fermentation process. A mixing mechanism 4 is provided on the outside of the tank cover 3.

[0034] The connecting mechanism 2 includes multiple connecting seats 21, which provide fixed support points for connecting rods 22. The adjacent sides of the multiple connecting seats 21 are fixedly connected to the outer top side of the tank body 1. Connecting rods 22 are fixedly connected inside each of the multiple connecting seats 21. The connecting rods 22 are key components for connection and support. A limiting block 23 is snapped into the middle of the outer side of each of the multiple connecting rods 22. The limiting block 23 restricts the position of the tank cover 3, preventing it from moving during installation and ensuring a stable connection. Support blocks 24 are snapped into the outer top side of each of the multiple connecting rods 22, providing support for the tank cover 3 and fixing it to the top of the tank body 1, thus improving sealing. To ensure stability, the mixing mechanism 4 operates stably. Multiple connecting rods 22 have threaded fasteners 25 on their outer tops. These fasteners 25 adjust the tightness of the connecting rods 22, making the support block 24 and tank lid 3 more secure and stable. Adjustments can be made for different components to adapt to different working requirements. An observation assembly 26 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tank body 1. The observation assembly 26 includes a jacket 261, which provides insulation, reducing heat loss from the tank body 1 and maintaining the stability of the fermentation process. The jacket 261 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tank body 1 internally. A viewing window 262 is fixedly connected to the inside of the observation assembly 26. The viewing window 262 allows operators to easily observe the fermentation process inside the tank 1, such as the state of the materials, the progress of fermentation, and any abnormalities, so that appropriate measures can be taken in a timely manner. A conveying assembly 27 is fixedly connected to the outside of the tank 1. The conveying assembly 27 includes a valve 271, which controls the steam pipe 272 and the discharge port 273 to regulate the flow of materials and steam, achieving precise control of the fermentation process. The valve 271 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank 1, and a steam pipe 272 is also fixedly connected to the outside of the valve 271. The steam pipe 272 supplies steam into the tank 1 for heating, sterilizing, or regulating the temperature and humidity inside the tank 1. To create suitable environmental conditions for the fermentation process, a discharge port 273 is fixedly connected to the outside of valve 271. After fermentation is completed, the discharge port 273 discharges the fermentation products in tank 1, facilitating subsequent processing and treatment. A sampling port 274 is fixedly connected to the top side of the outside of tank 1. The sampling port 274 is used to periodically take a small amount of fermented material from tank 1 for testing and analysis to understand the progress and quality of the fermentation process and provide a basis for adjusting fermentation parameters. A sampling tube 275 is fixedly connected to the receiving end of the sampling port 274. The sampling tube 275 serves as a sampling channel, guiding the material in tank 1 to the sampling port 274 for easy sampling by operators.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The mixing mechanism 4 includes a connector 41, which connects the drive motor 42 to the can lid 3, providing a stable mounting position for the drive motor 42 and transmitting power. The bottom of the connector 41 is threaded to the top of the can lid 3, and the top of the connector 41 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 42. The drive motor 42 serves as the power source for the mixing mechanism 4, providing rotational power. A controller 43 is externally fixedly connected to the drive motor 42, controlling the operating parameters of the drive motor 42, such as speed, direction, and running time, to achieve precise control of the mixing process. The output end of the drive motor 42 is fixedly connected to a drive rod 44, which serves as an intermediate component for power transmission. A flat stirring blade 45 is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive rod 44. The flat stirring blade 45 stirs the material in the tank 1 in the horizontal direction, ensuring uniform mixing of the material on a horizontal plane and promoting full contact and reaction between the materials. A fixing ring 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer side of the drive rod 44. The fixing ring 48 is used to fix the side blades 49, securely mounting the side blades 49 to the bottom outer side of the drive rod 44, ensuring that the side blades 49 rotate smoothly. To ensure stability during rotation, multiple side blades 49 are fixedly connected to the external side of the fixed ring 48. These side blades 49 agitate the material along the side of the tank 1, ensuring thorough mixing and preventing accumulation and sedimentation in the edge areas. A fixed ring 46 is fixedly connected to the external top side of the drive rod 44. This fixed ring 46 securely mounts the inclined blades 47 to the external top side of the drive rod 44, ensuring stability during rotation. The external fixed ring 46... There are multiple inclined blades 47, which stir the material in the inclined direction, causing the material to flow and mix in the vertical direction, increasing the stirring range and effect of the material, and improving the uniformity of fermentation. Multiple clamping plates 410 are fixedly connected inside the tank body 1. The clamping plates 410 are used to fix the baffles 411. The baffles 411 are installed inside the tank body 1 to provide stable support for the baffles 411. The baffles 411 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the multiple clamping plates 410. The baffles 411 change the flow direction and path of the material, increasing the stirring and mixing effect of the material.

[0036] Working principle: Tank 1 serves as the main container for food fermentation. The lid 3 seals Tank 1. Connecting seat 21 provides a fixed support point for connecting rod 22. Connecting rod 22 passes through connecting seat 21, and a limiting block 23 is engaged in the middle of its outer side to restrict the position of lid 3. A support block 24 is engaged on the top side of connecting rod 22 to support lid 3, fixing it to the top of tank 1. A tensioning element 25 is threaded onto the outer top of connecting rod 22, allowing adjustment of the tension and ensuring a more secure connection between support block 24 and lid 3. The outer layer 261 of the tank body 1 is fixed to the outside of the tank body 1 to reduce heat loss inside the tank body 1. The viewing window 262 facilitates observation of the state of the material inside the tank body 1 so that corresponding measures can be taken in time. The valve 271 is fixed to the bottom of the tank body 1 to control the steam pipe 272 and the discharge port 273 to regulate the flow of material and steam, so as to achieve precise control of the fermentation process. The sampling port 274 on the top side of the outside of the tank body 1 periodically takes out a small amount of fermented material from the tank body 1 for testing and analysis. The sampling tube 275 serves as a sampling channel to facilitate sampling by operators.

[0037] During full fermentation, connector 41 connects drive motor 42 to tank lid 3. Drive motor 42 is controlled by controller 43 to generate rotational force, which drives flat stirring blade 45 to stir the material in tank 1 through drive rod 44. Drive rod 44 also drives inclined blade 47 on fixed ring 1 to rotate, so that it stirs the material in the inclined direction. Drive rod 44 then drives side blade 49 on fixed ring 2 to stir the material, preventing the material from accumulating and settling in the edge area. The flow direction and path of the material are changed by baffles 411 on multiple plates 410 inside tank 1.
