[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0031] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of the utility model described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices. "Fixed" or "fixed connection" generally refers to common mechanical connection methods, such as threaded connections, welding, or bonding.
[0032] In the existing technology, multiple sets of culture components are set up for cultivation. However, the culture components need to be installed and removed one by one, and the positioning and installation need to be done manually, which is inefficient. At the same time, it is impossible to control the different degrees of stirring of different culture components according to the actual situation, which affects the cultivation effect.
[0033] This invention provides a fermentation culture machine for theanine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fermentation incubator includes a housing 1. A door 2 is hinged to one side of the housing 1. The door 2 opens to allow the culture units to enter and exit, and closes to seal the interior of the housing 1. Support feet and casters are provided at the bottom of the housing 1. A movable frame 3 is provided inside the housing 1, and multiple culture units are provided on the frame 3. In this embodiment, three culture units are provided, which are evenly arranged in the height direction, and sufficient operating clearance is left between adjacent culture units. Rollers 4 are provided at the bottom of the frame 3, allowing the frame 3 to move conveniently inside and outside the housing 1. A track groove is provided inside the housing 1. When the frame 3 moves inside the housing 1, the rollers 4 roll in the track groove to limit the movement of the frame 3 and ensure the positioning accuracy of the frame 3 inside the housing 1. A limiting mechanism is provided inside the housing 1. After the frame 3 moves to a designated position inside the housing 1, the limiting mechanism locks the frame 3 to restrict its movement.
[0034] This invention features a movable frame 3 inside the housing 1, with multiple culture units mounted on the movable frame 3. By moving the movable frame 3 in and out of the housing 1, multiple culture units can be moved in and out simultaneously without the need for individual installation and disassembly of each culture unit. Furthermore, a limiting mechanism is used to lock the movable frame 3 inside the housing 1, eliminating the need for manual installation, disassembly, and positioning. This makes the operation convenient, reduces the opening time of the housing 1, and prevents external impurities from entering the housing 1 and affecting the culture environment inside the housing 1 if the housing 1 is open for an extended period.
[0035] Regarding limit mechanisms, such as Figure 2 As shown, the limiting mechanism consists of a first magnet 5, a second magnet 6, an electric push rod, and a limiting groove 7. The first magnet 5 is installed at the bottom of the moving frame 3. The electric push rod is installed at the bottom of the inner chamber 1 and is connected to the limiting groove 7. The electric push rod drives the limiting groove 7 to rise and fall. The upper opening of the limiting groove 7 allows the first magnet 5 to be inserted. The limiting groove 7 is located at the bottom of the first magnet 5. The second magnet 6 is installed inside the limiting groove 7. The electric push rod drives the limiting groove 7 to rise, so that when the first magnet 5 enters the limiting groove 7, the second magnet 6 and the first magnet 5 are attracted to each other. The attraction force of the first magnet 5 and the second magnet 6, combined with the horizontal limiting of the limiting groove 7, restricts the movement of the moving frame 3 during the cultivation process. No manual positioning is required. An infrared sensor is installed inside the chamber 1 to automatically detect the position of the moving frame 3. The electric push rod is activated to limit the movement based on the feedback signal from the infrared sensor. Through the limiting operation, the shaking of the moving frame 3 is restricted during operation, improving the stability of the fermentation cultivation process.
[0036] Regarding culture units, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cultivation unit includes a support platform 8 and a cultivation tank 9. One end of the support platform 8 is fixed to the movable frame 3 to ensure that the support platform 8 moves together with the movable frame 3. A positioning groove 20 for placing the cultivation tank 9 is provided on the support platform 8. The positioning groove 20 is formed by the downward indentation of the support platform 8. The structure of the positioning groove 20 fits the bottom outer side of the cultivation tank 9, and a rubber layer is provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 20 to effectively reduce the shaking of the cultivation tank 9 during stirring. At the same time, a slot 10 is provided on the side of the support platform 8 near the stirring mechanism. The slot 10 is used to cooperate with the stirring mechanism for further positioning. The theanine raw material is fermented and cultivated in the cultivation tank 9. By providing the positioning groove 20 for placing the cultivation tank 9, the stability of the cultivation tank 9 is ensured and slippage is avoided. At the same time, the cultivation tank 9 can be directly removed from the support platform 8, which is more convenient.
[0037] In order to enable the fermentation material to be stirred within the chamber 1, a stirring mechanism is installed inside the chamber 1, such as... Figure 3As shown, the stirring mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 12, a lifting frame 13, a limiting rod 14, and stirring units. The lifting cylinder 12 is installed inside the housing 1 and connected to the lifting frame 13. The lifting cylinder 12 drives the lifting frame 13 to move up and down within the housing 1. The limiting rod 14 is vertically installed inside the housing 1, passing through the lifting frame 13. The lifting frame 13 and the limiting rod 14 are slidably connected, and the limiting rod 14 limits the movement path of the lifting frame 13, ensuring the stability of the lifting frame 13's movement. When the moving frame 3 enters the housing 1, the limiting rod 14 is inserted into the slot 10 of the support platform 8 for further positioning. Multiple stirring units are connected to the lifting frame 13. The number of stirring units is related to the number of support units. The number of units 8 is consistent; each stirring unit is located at the top of a culture tank 9 to individually stir the material in the culture tank 9. The stirring unit includes a stirring motor 15 and a stirring disc 16 controlled by the stirring motor 15 to rotate. During stirring, the lifting cylinder 12 drives the lifting frame 13 to descend, which in turn drives the stirring disc 16 to descend into the interior of each culture tank 9. Different stirring rates are controlled according to the conditions in different culture tanks 9. An independent stirring unit is set for each culture tank 9, which can perform individual stirring according to the actual conditions in each culture tank 9 and match different cultivation conditions. The setting of the limit rod 14 not only limits the movement of the lifting frame 13.
[0038] In order to facilitate the removal of theanine raw material from culture tank 9, such as Figure 5 As shown, a perforation 11 is opened at the bottom of the positioning groove 20. A lifting mechanism is provided on the movable frame 3. The lifting mechanism can pass through the perforation 11 to push the culture tank 9 out of the positioning groove 20. The lifting mechanism can easily lift and lower the culture tank 9 from the positioning groove 20, which facilitates the replacement of the culture tank 9. Pushing the culture tank 9 out of the positioning groove 20 makes it easy to remove the theanine material in the culture tank 9. The lifting mechanism includes a connecting plate 17, a lifting component 18 and a lifting cylinder 19. The connecting plate 17 is located at the bottom of the support platform 8. One end of the connecting plate 17 is fixed on the movable frame 3. The lifting component 18 is provided on the connecting plate 17 and can be set as a cylinder. The connecting plate 17 is connected to the telescopic end of the lifting component 18. The lifting component 18 controls the lifting cylinder 19 to move up and down. The lifting cylinder 19 can pass through the perforation 11, contact the culture tank 9 and push the culture tank 9 upward.
[0039] In order to obtain real-time information on the material status in each culture tank 9, a camera component 21 is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 17. The camera component 21 is used to photograph the culture tank 9 at the bottom, so that the culture environment can be adjusted in time to ensure the culture effect.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
