Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of equipment for edible sauce production, and in particular to a material mixing and fermentation device for edible sauce production. Background Technology
[0002] Edible sauces are condiments made by fermenting food and have a long history. With the increasing demand for quality of life, edible sauces are constantly being improved. Current fermentation processes often employ mixed fermentation, allowing multiple foods to ferment simultaneously, enabling the aromas of various ingredients to blend and achieve a more unique taste or eating experience. However, current fermentation processes often use large fermentation tanks for mass production. This results in insufficient mixing of the raw materials inside the tank; larger or heavier particles tend to settle at the bottom, while a larger amount of liquid accumulates at the top. Therefore, stirring is necessary during fermentation. Current fermentation tanks use stirring racks, but this method only effectively mixes the sauce near the center of the tank. The mixing effect is poor for the sauce near the circumference, and the agitation between the upper and lower layers is also insufficient, failing to meet the requirements for thorough mixing during fermentation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing sauce fermentation equipment and propose a material mixing and fermentation device for edible sauce production. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide a material mixing and fermentation device for edible sauce production that can fully mix materials, effectively solve the problem of uneven mixing in the upper and lower layers and edge positions of the tank, and improve the quality of mixed fermentation.
[0004] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A material mixing and fermentation device for edible sauce production includes: a fermentation tank, an annular bottom groove, a rotating ring, a rotating shaft, a stirring blade, a spiral stirring plate, a supporting column, a connecting platform, a top cover, a transmission wheel, a drive motor, a drive wheel, a belt, a connecting seat, and a handle.

[0020] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] To better understand the technical solutions presented in the embodiments of this application, the working principle of the existing material mixing and fermentation device for edible sauce production will be introduced first.
[0022] In existing mixed sauce production processes, stirring devices are installed in fermentation tanks. However, due to the relatively high viscosity of some sauces during fermentation, stirring only in the middle results in poor mixing of materials at the edges, failing to achieve sufficient convection between the upper and lower layers and the edge areas. This prevents the components from fully integrating during fermentation, affecting the quality of the subsequent product. Existing solutions involve continuously transferring the mixture into other tanks to improve mixing uniformity. However, this method complicates the inverting process, reduces production efficiency, and tank transfers can easily lead to spoilage. Therefore, improvements to the existing fermentation equipment are needed, leading to the design scheme proposed in this application.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application discloses a material mixing and fermentation device for edible sauce production, comprising: a fermentation tank 1, an annular bottom groove 2, a rotating ring 3, a rotating shaft 4, a stirring blade 5, a spiral stirring plate 6, a supporting column 7, a connecting platform 8, a top cover 9, a transmission wheel 10, a drive motor 11, a drive wheel 12, a belt 13, a connecting seat 14, and a handle 15. The annular bottom groove 2 is located at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and the upper end of the fermentation tank 1 is open. The rotating ring 3 is rotatably connected to the annular bottom groove 2. The connecting platform 8 is located at the upper end of the fermentation tank 1. The lower end of the top cover 9 is rotatably connected to the connecting platform 8. The lower end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of one side of the rotating ring 3, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the corresponding top cover 9, with the upper end of the rotating shaft 4 passing through the upper surface of the top cover 9. The stirring blade 5 is fixed. A fixed connection is made to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4 near the lower end. A spiral pawl 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4 above the pawl 5. The lower end of the support column 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating ring 3. The upper end of the support column 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper cover 9. The axes of the support column 7 and the rotating shaft 4 are symmetrical about the center of the rotating ring 3. A transmission wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 4. A drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the upper cover 9 near the transmission wheel 10. A drive wheel 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 11. The two ends of the belt 13 are respectively connected to the transmission wheel 10 and the drive wheel 12. A connecting seat 14 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one side of the upper cover 9. One end of the handle 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 14, and the other end of the handle 15 is bent downward.
[0024] Specifically, the annular bottom groove 2 allows the rotating ring 3 to rotate within it, and the connecting platform 8 allows the top cover 9 to rotate within it. During installation, a sealing ring structure can be installed between the two to ensure rotation and achieve a relative sealing effect. The rotating shaft 4 can rotate between the top cover 9 and the rotating ring 3, thus following the rotating ring 3 to achieve circumferential movement. During this movement, the function of the agitator blade 5 is to disperse the material at the bottom to the surrounding area, causing the material around the moving trajectory to be agitated and mixed. The spiral agitator 6 can continuously push the material around the rotating shaft 4 upwards or downwards, working in conjunction with the agitator blade 5 at the bottom to achieve vertical movement during the movement. The mixture is thoroughly mixed, and the support column 7 ensures a more secure connection and stability during rotation. Pushing the handle 15 causes the upper cover 9 to rotate via the connecting seat 14, which in turn causes the rotating ring 3, the shaft 4 connected to it, and the support column 7 to move in a circular motion. The drive motor 11 converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, which drives the drive wheel 12 to rotate. The power is then transmitted to the transmission wheel 10 via the belt 13, which drives the shaft 4 to rotate at different speeds, achieving different mixing effects. Compared with existing central mixing tanks, the mixing uniformity is higher, ensuring the full integration of each component during fermentation, achieving a uniform fermentation effect, and improving product quality.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a reinforcing base 16, which is disposed on the surface at the connection position between the rotating shaft 4 and the upper cover 9, and the rotating shaft 4 and the reinforcing base 16 are rotatably connected.
[0026] Specifically, the reinforcement seat 16 can support the rotation of the shaft 4. In actual installation, wear-resistant support structures such as bearings and bushings can be installed inside to ensure stability during rotation and movement.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes an exhaust valve 17, which is fixedly connected to the surface of one side of the upper cover 9.
[0028] Specifically, the exhaust valve 17 can release the gas generated inside the fermentation tank 1, ensuring that the internal pressure is within a reasonable range and improving safety.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes an anti-slip sleeve 18, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the lower end of the handle 15.
[0030] Specifically, the anti-slip sleeve 18 is designed to facilitate hand gripping, reduce structural complexity, and ensure better stability.
[0031] Please see Figure 3 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a discharge port 19, which is located on one side of the lower end of the fermentation tank 1.
[0032] Specifically, the discharge port 19 facilitates the discharge of finished products. In actual use, a pump body or other structures can also be installed at the bottom for extraction.
[0033] Please see Figure 3 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes support legs 20, which are fixedly connected in a ring array to the lower end of the fermentation tank 1.
[0034] Specifically, the support legs 20 can stably support the fermentation tank 1 to a certain height, making it easy for people to operate.
[0035] Please see Figure 2 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a control switch 21, which is fixedly connected to the surface of one side of the fermentation tank 1. The input terminal of the control switch 21 is electrically connected to the output terminal of an external power supply, and the output terminal of the control switch 21 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the drive motor 11.
[0036] Specifically, the control switch 21 can control the speed of the drive motor 11 to achieve different driving power and adapt to different types of sauces.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 As another specific embodiment provided in the application, it also includes a protective shell 22, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the upper cover 9 corresponding to the drive motor 11.
[0038] Specifically, the protective shell 22 can protect components such as the top drive motor 11, ensuring safety during use.
[0039] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
