Detailed Implementation

[0041] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0042] Understandably, in the production process of fermented products (such as soy sauce, wine, and fermented black beans), in order to control the temperature of the starter culture, a turning device is generally used to turn it over to ensure good ventilation and heat dissipation, thereby optimizing the growth environment of microorganisms. This allows microorganisms (such as Aspergillus oryzae) to germinate, grow, and reproduce in a suitable temperature and humidity environment, ensuring uniform and efficient fermentation.

[0043] Currently, during the lifting and guiding process of the bending device, both sides are movable guide structures. This requires the guide structures to have high machining accuracy in order to meet the installation requirements of the guide structures on both sides. At the same time, the angle of the bending device cannot be adjusted, which affects the assembly of the bending device.

[0044] For this purpose, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a bending device 100. Figure 1 This is a front view of a bending device 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The cross-sectional view of the bending device 100 shown along the AA direction. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The shown is a cross-sectional view of the folding device 100 along the BB direction. The folding device 100 is used in a folding device (not shown) to fold the material in the folding device.

[0045] The koji-turning device includes at least a central column 200, a koji-making disc (not shown), and the koji-turning device 100 of this application. The central column 200 is disposed within the koji-making disc, which rotates around the central column 200. The koji-making disc can hold koji material. The koji-turning device 100 is disposed within the central column 200. When the koji-making disc rotates around the central column 200, the koji-turning device 100 can turn the koji material within the koji-making disc to ensure good ventilation and heat dissipation of the koji material.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the central column 200 is square. Here, the axial direction of the central column 200 refers to the direction of its central axis, the radial direction refers to the radius of its circumscribed circle, and the circumferential direction refers to the circumferential direction of its circumscribed circle. The outer circumferential surface of the central column 200 is its outer surface. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the central column 200 may also be cylindrical.

[0047] The folding device 100 of this application can accurately fold the material in the folding equipment. At the same time, it can reduce the processing accuracy and installation accuracy, thereby facilitating the assembly of the folding device 100 and making it easy to adjust the angle of the folding device 100 to meet the folding requirements of the material.

[0048] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the folding device 100 includes a lifting mechanism 110, a folding mechanism 120, a first guide mechanism 130, and a second guide mechanism 140. The lifting mechanism 110 includes a first lifting assembly 111 and a second lifting assembly 112. The first lifting assembly 111 is disposed on the central column 200 of the folding device, and the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 are radially spaced and connected along the central column 200. The folding mechanism 120 includes a support member 121 and a folding assembly 122 extending radially along the central column 200. The support member 121 is disposed at the output end of the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112.

[0049] The bending assembly 122 is connected to the support member 121 and can rotate relative to the support member 121. A first guide mechanism 130 is disposed on the central column 200 along the axial direction of the central column 200. The first end 1211 of the support member 121 is connected to the first guide mechanism 130, and the support member 121 can rotate and move relative to the first guide mechanism 130. A second guide mechanism 140 is disposed on the second lifting assembly 112 along the axial direction of the central column 200. The second end 1212 of the support member 121 is connected to the second guide mechanism 140 and can move along the second guide mechanism 140.

[0050] The lifting mechanism 110 is the power source for the lifting and lowering of the turning device 100, and the turning mechanism 120 is the structure for the turning device 100 to turn the material. The lifting mechanism 110 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the central column 200, and the output end of the lifting mechanism 110 is connected to the turning mechanism 120. The lifting mechanism 110 can drive the turning mechanism 120 to rise and fall along the axial direction of the central column 200, so that the turning device 100 can turn the material during the lifting and lowering process. Furthermore, during the lifting and lowering process, the turning mechanism 120 is guided by the first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140 to ensure that the turning mechanism 120 accurately rises and falls along the axial direction of the central column 200.

[0051] Specifically, in the lifting mechanism 110, the first lifting component 111 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the central column 200, and the second lifting component 112 is connected to the first lifting component 111 and is arranged radially spaced along the central column 200. The first lifting component 111 and the second lifting component 112 can output lifting motion along the axial direction of the central column 200. It is worth noting that the lifting motion in this application refers to the movement along the axial direction of the central column 200, and the following description uses lifting motion instead of lifting along the axial direction of the central column 200.

[0052] In the bending mechanism 120, the support member 121 is the component connecting the bending assembly 122 to the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112. The support member 121 and the bending assembly 122 extend approximately along the central column 200, and the support member 121 is located at the output end of the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 (i.e., at the bottom of the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112). The bending assembly 122 is rotatably disposed on the side of the support member 121 opposite to the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112.

[0053] When the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 output lifting motion, they can drive the support component 121 to lift synchronously, and in turn, the support component 121 can drive the turning assembly 122 to lift synchronously. During the lifting process of the turning assembly 122, the turning assembly 122 can also rotate relative to the support component 121, so that the turning assembly 122 can turn the koji material in the koji-making disc.

[0054] To ensure that the bending assembly 122 can accurately rise and fall along the axial direction of the central column 200, this application also provides a first guide mechanism 130 and a second guide mechanism 140. The first guide mechanism 130 is disposed on the outer periphery of the central column 200, and the second guide mechanism 140 is fixed to the second lifting assembly 112. The first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140 extend along the axial direction of the central column 200 and guide the connecting support component 121.

[0055] The support member 121 has a first end 1211 and a second end 1212 arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the central column 200. The first end 1211 of the support member 121 is guided and connected to the first guide mechanism 130, and the second end 1212 of the support member 121 is guided and connected to the second guide mechanism 140. When the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 drive the support member 121 to move the bending device 100 up and down, the support member 121 can move along the first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140.

[0056] In this way, the first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140 guide the lifting and lowering movement of the support component 121, so that the support component 121 can accurately lift and lower along the axial direction of the central column 200, avoiding the lifting and lowering movement of the support component 121 from deviating, thereby avoiding the deviating movement of the bending assembly 122, ensuring the accuracy of the lifting and lowering of the bending assembly 122, and thus ensuring the turning effect of the bending assembly 122 on the bent material.

[0057] Furthermore, the first end 1211 of the support member 121 is rotatably connected to the first guide mechanism 130. That is, the first end 1211 of the support member 121 can rotate and move relative to the first guide mechanism 130, while the second end 1212 of the support member 121 can move relative to the second guide mechanism 140 but cannot rotate relative to it. It is understandable that the rotatable connection between the support member 121 and the first guide mechanism 130 increases the degree of freedom after assembly of the support member 121 with the first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140, allowing the support member 121 to rotate relative to the first guide mechanism 130.

[0058] In this way, the assembly precision of the first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140 can be appropriately reduced. The first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140 do not need to have excessively high machining precision to meet the assembly requirements, which facilitates the assembly of the first guide mechanism 130 and the second guide mechanism 140, and thus facilitates the assembly of the turning device 100. Moreover, after the turning component 122 is installed on the support component 121, the support component 121 can drive the turning component 122 to rotate around the first guide mechanism 130 by a certain angle to adjust the angle of the turning component 122, and thus adjust the angle of the turning device 100, so that the angle of the turning device 100 can meet the usage requirements and facilitate the turning of the material.

[0059] The turning device 100 of the above embodiment uses a first lifting assembly 111 and a second lifting assembly 112 to drive the support component 121 to raise and lower the turning component 122. The lifting and lowering movement of the support component 121 is guided by a first guide mechanism 130 and a second guide mechanism 140, ensuring the reliability of the lifting and lowering movement of the turning component 122 and enabling the turning component 122 to accurately turn the material in the turning equipment. Simultaneously, because the support component 121 and the first guide mechanism 130 are rotatable and movable, the machining and installation accuracy of the first guide mechanism 130 can be reduced, facilitating the assembly of the turning device 100. The support component 121 can adjust the angle of the turning component 122 through rotation within the first guide mechanism 130 to meet the turning requirements of the material.

[0060] See Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5In one embodiment, the first guide mechanism 130 includes a first guide member 131 and a first mating member 132 extending axially along the central post 200. The first guide member 131 is disposed on the central post 200. The first mating member 132 is disposed on the first end 1211 of the support member 121. The first mating member 132 is rotatably connected to the first guide member 131 and can move along the first guide member 131. Figure 4 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of the bending device 100 at point C shown. Figure 5 for Figure 3 A partial enlarged view of the bending device 100 shown at point D.

[0061] The first guide member 131 is disposed on the outer surface of the central column 200 and extends along the axial direction of the central column 200. The first mating member 132 is disposed on the first end 1211 of the support member 121 and extends along the axial direction of the central column 200. The first guide member 131 and the first mating member 132 are rotatably connected, and the first mating member 132 can also move along the first guide member 131 so that the first guide member 131 guides the first mating member 132.

[0062] The support component 121 can rotate around the first guide component 131 via the first mating part 132, thereby adjusting the angle of the support component 121 and, consequently, the angle of the flipping assembly 122 on the support component 121, so that the angle of the flipping assembly 122 can meet the requirements of material flipping. Thus, during assembly, the angle of the flipping assembly 122 can be adjusted by the rotational engagement of the first guide component 131 and the first mating part 132.

[0063] At the same time, when the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 drive the support component 121 to rise and fall, the support component 121 can be driven to rise and fall, and then the support component 121 can drive the first mating component 132 to rise and fall along the first guide component 131. At this time, the first guide component 131 can guide the first mating component 132 so that the support component 121 can accurately rise and fall along the axial direction of the central column 200, and avoid the support component 121 and the bending assembly 122 from deviating during rise and fall.

[0064] See Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment of this application, the first guide member 131 is a guide post, and the first mating member 132 is a sliding sleeve. The sliding sleeve is fitted onto the guide post and can rotate around the guide post and move along the guide post. This application uses the mating of the guide post and the sliding sleeve. The guide post is disposed on the outer periphery of the central post 200, and the sliding sleeve is disposed on the first end 1211 of the support member 121. The support member 121 can rotate and move around the guide post.

[0065] In this way, the support component 121 can drive the sliding sleeve to rotate around the guide post, thereby adjusting the angle of the support component 121 and thus the angle of the bending assembly 122. At the same time, the support component 121 can also drive the sliding sleeve to move along the guide post, so as to guide the lifting and lowering movement of the support component 121, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the lifting and lowering movement of the bending assembly 122.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the first guide member 131 is a sliding sleeve, and the first mating member 132 is a guide post. The guide post is rotatably disposed in the sliding sleeve and can move along the sliding sleeve. That is, the positions of the sliding sleeve and the guide post are interchanged, which can also guide the lifting and lowering movement of the support member 121, and at the same time, it can rotate relative to the sliding sleeve.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first mating member 132 and the supporting member 121 are an integral structure. This improves the structural strength of the connection between the first mating member 132 and the supporting member 121, preventing breakage at the connection point. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the first mating member 132 and the supporting member 121 can also be separately provided and reliably connected by screws, welding, or other methods.

[0068] See Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the first guiding mechanism 130 further includes a first fixed seat 133, through which the first guide member 131 is mounted to the outer peripheral surface of the central column 200. The first fixed seat 133 is the base for mounting the first guide member 131. The first fixed seat 133 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the central column 200, and the first guide member 131 is disposed on the first fixed seat 133 to support the first guide member 131, facilitating the rotational engagement of the first guide member 131 with the first mating member 132.

[0069] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the second guide mechanism 140 includes a support base 141 extending axially along the central column 200, a second guide member 142, and a second mating member 143. The support base 141 is disposed on the second lifting assembly 112, and the second guide member 142 is disposed on the support base 141. The second mating member 143 is disposed on the second end 1212 of the support member 121 and is movably disposed on the second guide member 142. Figure 6 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the bending device 100 at point E shown. Figure 7 for Figure 3 A partial enlarged view of the bending device 100 shown at point F.

[0070] The support base 141 serves as the mounting base for the second guide mechanism 140. The support base 141 extends axially, and its top is fixed to the outside of the second lifting assembly 112, meaning that the support base 141 is a stationary component. The bottom of the support base 141 extends toward the bending assembly 122, and one end of the bending assembly 122 is rotatably mounted on the support base 141, thereby providing rotational support for the bending assembly 122.

[0071] The second guide member 142 is disposed on the support base 141 and extends axially along the central column 200. The second mating member 143 is disposed on the second end 1212 of the support member 121 and extends axially along the central column 200. The second guide member 142 and the second mating member 143 are movably connected, and the second mating member 143 can move along the second guide member 142 to guide the lifting and lowering of the support member 121. That is, the support member 121 moves along the second guide member 142 via the second mating member 143.

[0072] When the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 drive the support component 121 to rise and fall, the support component 121 can be driven to rise and fall, and the support component 121 can drive the first mating component 132 to rise and fall along the first guide component 131. At the same time, the support component 121 can also drive the second mating component 143 to rise and fall along the second guide component 142. In this way, the support component 121 can accurately rise and fall along the axial direction of the central column 200 through the guide mating on both sides, avoiding the deviation of the rise and fall of the support component 121 and the bending assembly 122.

[0073] It is worth noting that the structural form of the support base 141 is not limited in principle, as long as the support base 141 can accommodate the second guide member 142 and provide rotational support for the bending assembly 122. In this embodiment, the support base 141 is a base made of spliced ​​plates. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the support base 141 can also be a frame structure or other structures that can play a supporting role.

[0074] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the second guide member 142 is a guide post, and the second mating member 143 is a sliding sleeve. The sliding sleeve is fitted onto the guide post and can move along the guide post. This application uses the mating of the guide post and the sliding sleeve. The guide post is disposed in the support base 141, and the sliding sleeve is disposed at the second end 1212 of the support member 121. The support member 121 can move along the guide post. In this way, the support member 121 can also drive the sliding sleeve to move along the guide post, so that the sliding sleeve moves along the guide post to guide the lifting and lowering movement of the support member 121, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the lifting and lowering movement of the bending assembly 122.

[0075] In another embodiment of this application, the second guide member 142 is a sliding sleeve, and the second mating member 143 is a guide post, which is movably disposed in the sliding sleeve. That is, the positions of the sliding sleeve and the guide post are interchanged, which can also guide the lifting and lowering movement of the support member 121.

[0076] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the second guide member 142 is a guide rail, and the second mating member 143 is a guide slider, with the guide slider movably disposed on the guide rail. When the support member 121 moves, the support member 121 can drive the guide slider to move along the guide rail, and can also guide the lifting and lowering of the support member 121.

[0077] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of this application, there are two second guide members 142 and two second mating members 143. Each second mating member 143 is movable and engaged with the corresponding second guide member 142 to guide the second end 1212 of the support member 121. In this way, after the second end 121 of the support member 121 is engaged with the two second guide members 142 and the two second mating members 143, the support member 121 can only move relative to the second guide members 142 and cannot rotate relative to the second guide members 142.

[0078] See Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of this application, the second guiding mechanism 140 further includes a guide seat, which is disposed at the second end 1212 of the support member 121. The guide seat contains a second mating member 143 that moves and engages with the second guide member 142. That is, the two second mating members 143 are integrated into one unit to form a guide seat. One guide seat can engage with the two second guide members 142 to guide the second end 1212 of the support member 121, ensuring accurate lifting and lowering movement of the support member 121.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the two second mating parts 143 may also be in a separate form and respectively disposed at the second end 1212 of the support member 121. That is, the second guide part 142 is disposed in a one-to-one correspondence with the first mating part 132.

[0080] In one embodiment, the second mating member 143 and the support member 121 are an integral structure. This improves the structural strength of the connection between the second mating member 143 and the support member 121, preventing breakage at the connection point. Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the second mating member 143 and the support member 121 can also be separately provided and reliably connected by screws, welding, or other methods.

[0081] See Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 In one embodiment, the second guiding mechanism 140 further includes a second fixed seat 144, through which the second guide member 142 is mounted to the support base 141. The second fixed seat 144 serves as the base for mounting the second guide member 142. The second fixed seat 144 is disposed in the support base 141, and the second guide member 142 is disposed in the second fixed seat 144 to support the second guide member 142, facilitating the movement and engagement of the second guide member 142 with the second mating member 143.

[0082] In this application, a first guide member 131 is a guide post, a first mating member 132 is a sliding sleeve, forming a single-axis swing angle guide post structure, two second guide members 142 are guide posts, and two second mating members 143 in the guide seat are two sliding sleeves, each sliding sleeve is fitted onto the corresponding guide post, forming a double-axis guide post structure.

[0083] In other words, the support component 121 has a structure with one guide post and one sliding sleeve at the first end 1211, and a structure with two guide posts and two sliding sleeves at the second end 1212. Thus, the first end 1211 of the support component 121 can rotate and move around one guide post, and the second end 1212 of the support component 121 can move along the two guide posts. The support component 121 has a single-axis swingable angle guide post structure at the first end 1211, and a double-axis guide post structure at the second end 1212.

[0084] Compared to the current structure where both sides of the support component 121 are movable, such as the structure with two guide columns, this application designs one side of the support component 121 as a rotatable and movable fit (angle-adjustable guide column structure), while the other end remains movable (dual-axis guide column structure). In this way, the support component 121 is fitted onto the two guide columns at the second end 1212 and installed at the first end 1211 through a rotatable fit, which increases the rotational freedom of the support component 121. Thus, the support component 121 can be assembled without requiring excessively high machining precision, reducing the installation difficulty and facilitating the adjustment of the bending device 100° angle.

[0085] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the bending assembly 122 includes a bending drive 1221, a bending shaft 1222, and a plurality of bending components 1223. The bending shaft 1222 extends radially along the central column 200 and is rotatably connected to the support component 121. The bending drive 1221 is disposed on the second guide mechanism 140 and is drively connected to the bending shaft 1222. The plurality of bending components 1223 are spaced apart on the bending shaft 1222 along the axial and circumferential directions and can rotate synchronously with the bending shaft 1222.

[0086] The bending drive 1221 is the power source for the bending assembly 122. The bending drive 1221 is mounted on the support base 141 in the second guide mechanism 140 and is a fixed component. The bending shaft 1222 is the drive shaft for the bending assembly 122, and its axial direction extends radially along the central column 200. The output end of the bending drive 1221 is connected to one end of the bending shaft 1222, which is also rotatably connected to the surface of the support member 121 facing away from the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112.

[0087] The turning component 1223 is a component for turning the material. Multiple turning components 1223 are spaced apart axially and circumferentially along the turning shaft 1222, and extend radially along the turning shaft 1222. When the turning drive 1221 drives the turning shaft 1222 to rotate, the multiple turning components 1223 can contact the material individually. Thus, the multiple turning components 1223 can contact the material at different positions, ensuring the effective turning of the material.

[0088] Optionally, the turning drive 1221 is a combination of a motor and a reducer. Optionally, the turning component 1223 is a rake tooth, a turning plate, or other structure capable of turning the material. Optionally, the radial lengths of each turning component 1223 along the turning shaft 1222 are the same and / or different.

[0089] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the bending assembly 122 further includes two connectors 1224 and a rotating support (not shown). The two connectors 1224 are respectively disposed on the side of the support member 121 opposite to the first lifting assembly 111. The rotating support is disposed on the connectors 1224, and the bending shaft 1222 is disposed on the rotating support and rotates relative to the connectors 1224 through the rotating support.

[0090] The connector 1224 extends axially along the central column 200. The top of the connector 1224 is fixed to the support member 121, and the bottom of the connector 1224 extends away from the support member 121. The two ends of the bending shaft 1222 are respectively installed to the connector 1224 through the rotating support member, and the rotating support member rotates relative to the support member 121 so that the bending shaft 1222 is rotatably connected to the support member 121.

[0091] Optionally, the connector 1224 can be a connecting rod or a connecting column, etc. Optionally, the rotating support can be a rotating bearing. Optionally, the support component 121 can be a support rod, a support column, or a support platform, etc.

[0092] It is worth noting that the types of the first lifting component 111 and the second lifting component 112 are not limited in principle, as long as they can output lifting motion. (See also...) Figure 1 In one embodiment, the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 are lifting machines, such as rack and pinion lifting machines, chain lifting machines, hydraulic lifting machines, etc.

[0093] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 110 further includes a first connecting portion 113 and a second connecting portion 114. The first connecting portion 113 is disposed at the output end of the first lifting assembly 111 and fixed to the support member 121 by a threaded component. The second connecting portion 114 is disposed at the output end of the second lifting assembly 112 and fixed to the support member 121 by a threaded component. The first connecting portion 113 and the second connecting portion 114 have a flange structure, and the threaded connection reliably connects the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112.

[0094] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 110 further includes a transmission rod 115, which extends radially along the central column 200. The transmission rod 115 drives the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 to make the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 lift synchronously.

[0095] One end of the transmission rod 115 is connected to the transmission component of the first lifting assembly 111, and the other end of the transmission rod 115 is connected to the transmission component of the second lifting assembly 112. At this time, the transmission component of the first lifting assembly 111 and the transmission component (such as gears) of the second lifting assembly 112 can move synchronously, thereby ensuring the synchronicity of the lifting motion output by the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112.

[0096] See Figure 1 In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 110 further includes a mounting base 116, which is disposed on the central column 200, and the first lifting component 111 is disposed on the mounting base 116. The mounting base 116 is the base for mounting the first lifting component 111, and is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the central column 200. The first lifting component 111 is mounted on the mounting base 116 so that the first lifting component 111 can be fixed to the central column 200.

[0097] Meanwhile, since the first lifting assembly 111 and the second lifting assembly 112 are connected by the transmission rod 115, the transmission rod 115 can support the second lifting assembly 112 to the first lifting assembly 111, so that the second lifting assembly 112 can be indirectly installed on the outer peripheral surface of the central column 200. In addition, the second lifting assembly 112 is also fixedly installed on the support base 141, and can also indirectly fix the support base 141 to the support base 141.

[0098] In other words, one end of the bending device 100 is fixed to the central column 200, and the other end of the bending device 100 extends radially away from the central column 200, forming a cantilever beam structure. In this way, when the koji-making disc rotates, the bending device 100 will not interfere with the koji-making disc, ensuring the reliability of the bending device 100's operation.

[0099] The turning device 100 of this application uses a first lifting component 111 and a second lifting component 112 to drive the support component 121 to lift and lower the turning component 122. The lifting and lowering movement of the support component 121 is guided by a first guide mechanism 130 and a second guide mechanism 140 to ensure the reliability of the lifting and lowering movement of the turning component 122, so that the turning component 122 can accurately turn the material in the turning equipment.

[0100] Meanwhile, when the support component 121 cooperates with the first guide mechanism 130, the support component 121 rotates and moves with the first guide component 131 through the connected first mating part 132, and moves with the second guide component 142 through the connected second mating part 143. In this way, the machining accuracy and installation accuracy of the first guide mechanism 130 can be reduced, which facilitates the assembly of the turning device 100. The support component 121 can adjust the angle of the turning assembly 122 through the rotation between the first guide mechanisms 130 to meet the turning requirements of the material.

[0101] See Figure 1 This application also provides a koji-making device, including a central column 200, a koji-making disc, and a koji-turning device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The central column 200 is disposed on the koji-making disc, and the koji-turning device 100 is rotatably connected to the central column 200 and can rotate relative to the central column 200 to turn the koji material in the koji-making disc. By employing the koji-turning device 100 of the above embodiments, the koji-making device of this application can realize the turning of the koji material in the koji-making disc. Simultaneously, the processing accuracy and installation difficulty of the koji-turning device 100 are reduced, and the angle of the koji-turning device 100 can be adjusted to facilitate the installation and use of the koji-making device.

[0102] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0103] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
