Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flavored fermented milk production, specifically a fermentation device for flavored fermented milk production. Background Technology

[0002] The production of flavored fermented milk is a process involving multiple key steps, combining microbial fermentation technology, food engineering, and quality control. The fermentation unit is one of the core pieces of equipment, and its design, function, and control directly determine the efficiency of the fermentation process, the stability of product quality, and the sensory characteristics of the final product.

[0003] In the existing technology, the fermentation device mainly consists of a fermentation tank, a tank lid, a stirring shaft, and a stirring plate. During fermentation, the raw materials are poured into the fermentation tank, and the motor at the top of the tank drives the stirring shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring plate to rotate. After the raw materials are stirred, the stirring motor is turned off. After heating, heat preservation, and sealing and settling through the jacket of the fermentation tank, the fermentation is completed. The entire fermentation process has a high degree of automation and can provide a better environment for fermentation.

[0004] However, different types of mixing plates are required when mixing raw materials for flavored fermented milk with different formulations. For example, when mixing raw materials containing nuts such as walnuts, a mixing plate with blades is needed to chop the nuts during mixing and improve the mixing effect. When mixing raw materials without nuts, rod-shaped or plate-shaped mixing plates can be used to increase the area swept by a single mixing, thereby improving mixing efficiency. In the existing technology, the mixing shaft and mixing plate are usually fixed together by welding. This means that multiple sets of fermentation equipment need to be prepared at the same time to meet the fermentation of different types of flavored fermented milk. This leads to increased fermentation costs. At the same time, using one type of fermentation equipment will leave another type of fermentation equipment idle, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of fermentation equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fermentation apparatus for the production of flavored fermented milk, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a fermentation device for the production of flavored fermented milk, comprising: a stirring shaft and a stirring rod, wherein an installation groove is formed on the surface of the stirring shaft, the stirring rod is movably inserted into the installation groove, a limit block installation groove is formed on the surface of the stirring rod, a limit groove is formed on the inner wall of the installation groove, one end of the limit block is movably inserted into the limit block installation groove, and the other end of the limit block is movably inserted into the limit groove.

[0007] Preferably, both the limiting block mounting groove and the limiting groove are rectangular groove structures, and a limiting spring is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block mounting groove, with the other end of the limiting spring abutting against the surface of the limiting block.

[0008] Preferably, a toggle plate groove is provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove of the limiting block, and a toggle plate is slidably connected in the toggle plate groove. One end of the toggle plate is fixed on the surface of the limiting block. The toggle plate groove is a rectangular groove and the toggle plate is a rectangular plate structure.

[0009] Preferably, a button hole is provided on the surface of the stirring rod, and a button is movably inserted into the button hole. One end of the button extends into the dial plate groove and is fixed on the surface of the dial plate, while the other end of the button extends out from the button hole. The button hole has a circular hole structure, and the button has a circular rod structure.

[0010] Preferably, the opening of the button hole on the surface of the stirring rod is located on the portion of the stirring rod that is not inserted into the mounting groove.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting block has a wedge-shaped block structure, and one end of the limiting block that extends into the limiting groove has an inclined surface.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention proposes a fermentation device for flavored fermented milk production. The stirring shaft and stirring rod feature a detachable design. Various types of stirring rods are available, allowing for different types to be installed on the stirring shaft according to different flavored fermented milk formulas. During installation, the button is fully pressed into the button hole, pushing the lever downwards. The lever moves downwards in the lever groove, causing the limiting block to retract completely into the limiting block mounting groove, compressing the limiting spring. The stirring rod is then inserted into the mounting groove. Once the limiting block mounting groove aligns with the limiting groove, the button is released. The limiting spring pushes one end of the limiting block into the limiting groove, completing the installation of the stirring rod and stirring shaft. Similarly, pressing the button fully into the button hole again removes the limiting block from the limiting groove, allowing the stirring rod to be detached from the mounting groove, thus separating the stirring rod from the stirring shaft. This detachable design allows for the installation of different types of stirring plates on the stirring shaft when fermenting flavored fermented milk with different formulas, reducing the number of fermentation devices required and increasing the utilization rate of the device.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0019] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fermentation device for flavored fermented milk production, comprising: a stirring shaft 1 and a stirring rod 3. A mounting groove 2 is formed on the surface of the stirring shaft 1, and the stirring rod 3 is movably inserted into the mounting groove 2. A limit block mounting groove 4 is formed on the surface of the stirring rod 3, and a limit groove 11 is formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 2. One end of a limit block 5 is movably inserted into the limit block mounting groove 4, and the other end of the limit block 5 is movably inserted into the limit groove 11. A limit spring 6 is movably connected to the inner wall of the limit block mounting groove 4. The other end of the spring 6 abuts against the surface of the limiting block 5. A toggle plate groove 7 is provided on the inner wall of the limiting block mounting groove 4. A toggle plate 8 is slidably connected in the toggle plate groove 7. One end of the toggle plate 8 is fixed on the surface of the limiting block 5. A button hole 9 is provided on the surface of the stirring rod 3. A button 10 is movably inserted into the button hole 9. One end of the button 10 extends into the toggle plate groove 7 and is fixed on the surface of the toggle plate 8. The other end of the button 10 extends out of the button hole 9. The opening of the button hole 9 on the surface of the stirring rod 3 is located on the part of the stirring rod 3 that is not inserted into the mounting groove 2.

[0020] This fermentation device for flavored fermented milk production features a detachable design between the stirring shaft 1 and the stirring rod 3. Various types of stirring rods 3 are available, allowing for different types to be installed on the stirring shaft 1 according to different flavored fermented milk formulas. During installation, button 10 is fully pressed into button hole 9, pushing the dial plate 8 downwards. The dial plate 8 moves downwards in dial plate groove 7, causing the limiting block 5 to move downwards, fully retracting into the limiting block mounting groove 4, compressing the limiting spring 6. Then, the stirring rod 3 is inserted into mounting groove 2, and the limiting block mounting groove 4 aligns with the limiting groove 11. Then release button 10, and the limiting spring 6 pushes one end of the limiting block 5 into the limiting groove 11, thus completing the installation of the stirring rod 3 and the stirring shaft 1. Similarly, press button 10 completely into the button hole 9 again, so that the limiting block 5 exits from the limiting groove 11, and the stirring rod 3 can be removed from the mounting groove 2 to separate the stirring rod 3 from the stirring shaft 1. Through the detachable design between the stirring shaft 1 and the stirring rod 3, different types of stirring plates can be installed on the stirring shaft 1 when fermenting flavored fermented milk with different formulas, thereby reducing the number of fermentation devices required and improving the utilization rate of the device.

[0021] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to make it easier to install the stirring rod 3 and the stirring shaft 1, the limiting block 5 has a wedge-shaped block structure, and the end of the limiting block 5 that extends into the limiting groove 11 has an inclined surface 12.

[0022] An inclined surface 12 is provided at one end of the limiting block 5 that extends out of the limiting block mounting groove 4. When the stirring rod 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 2, the inclined surface 12 on the surface of the limiting block 5 contacts the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, so that the limiting block 5 can be completely pushed into the limiting block mounting groove 4 without pressing the button 10, making it more convenient to install the stirring rod 3 and the stirring shaft 1.

[0023] In actual use, the stirring shaft 1 and stirring rod 3 are designed to be detachable. Various types of stirring rod 3 are available, allowing for different types to be installed on the stirring shaft 1 according to different flavored fermented milk formulas. During installation, button 10 is fully pressed into button hole 9. Button 10 pushes the lever 8 downwards, causing the lever 8 to move downwards in lever groove 7, thus moving the limiting block 5 downwards. This causes the limiting block 5 to fully retract into the limiting block mounting groove 4, compressing the limiting spring 6. Then, the stirring rod 3 is inserted into mounting groove 2. Once the limiting block mounting groove 4 aligns with the limiting groove 11, button 10 is released. The limiting spring 6 pushes one end of the limiting block 5 into the limiting groove 11, completing the installation of the stirring rod 3 and stirring shaft 1. Similarly, button 10 is fully pressed into the groove 9 again. By disengaging the limiting block 5 from the limiting groove 11 through the button hole 9, the stirring rod 3 can be detached from the mounting groove 2, thus separating the stirring rod 3 from the stirring shaft 1. This detachable design between the stirring shaft 1 and the stirring rod 3 allows for the installation of different types of stirring plates on the stirring shaft 1 during the fermentation of flavored fermented milk with different formulations, thereby reducing the number of fermentation devices required and increasing the utilization rate of each device. A slope 12 is provided at the end of the limiting block 5 extending out of the limiting block mounting groove 4. When the stirring rod 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 2, the slope 12 on the surface of the limiting block 5 contacts the inner wall of the mounting groove 2, allowing the limiting block 5 to be completely pushed into the limiting block mounting groove 4 without needing to press the button 10, making the installation of the stirring rod 3 and the stirring shaft 1 more convenient.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
