[0002] Fermentation refers to the process by which microorganisms, under aerobic or anaerobic conditions, produce microbial cells, direct metabolites, or secondary metabolites. The term "fermentation" is sometimes written as "fermentation" in Chinese, and its definition varies depending on the context. Generally, fermentation refers to a process by which organisms decompose organic matter. Fermentation is one of the earliest biochemical reactions humans encountered and is now widely used in the food, biological, and chemical industries. It is also a fundamental process in bioengineering, namely fermentation engineering.

[0003] Existing fermentation devices for processing Chinese herbal medicines used in food processing employ filter screens to separate the solid and liquid components of the mixture. However, during the processing, the filter screens can become clogged by the mixture, which reduces fermentation efficiency and may even affect the quality of fermentation. Furthermore, the mixture can adhere to the inner wall of the fermentation tank, and if it is not cleaned in time, it will also affect the fermentation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fermentation device for traditional Chinese medicine in the processing of food that is both food and medicine, in order to solve the problems mentioned above. The fermentation devices for traditional Chinese medicine in the processing of food that is both food and medicine all use a filter screen to separate the solid and liquid mixtures. However, during the processing, the filter screen can be blocked by the mixture, which will reduce the fermentation efficiency and even affect the quality of fermentation. Moreover, the mixture will stick to the inner wall of the fermentation tank. If it is not cleaned in time, it will affect the fermentation efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fermentation device for processing medicinal and edible foods, comprising a base and an operating barrel fixedly installed on the base, a fermentation barrel fixedly installed on the upper end of the operating barrel, a stirring component for stirring the medicinal and edible foods on the operating barrel, a scraping component for scraping the inner wall of the fermentation barrel on the stirring component, a sieving component for solid-liquid separation of the medicinal herbs on the base, and an insertion component for preventing the sieving component from clogging on the fermentation barrel.

[0006] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes a first chamber formed on the operating tank, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the first chamber, a first rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor, a second rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the first chamber, a belt is provided between the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, the fermentation tank has a second chamber, and stirring gears are fixedly installed on the axial sidewalls of both the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the scraping assembly includes connecting rods fixedly installed at both ends of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, wherein a scraper is fixedly installed between the two connecting rods.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 A fermentation device for processing medicinal and edible foods using traditional Chinese medicine includes a base 1 and an operating tank 11 fixedly installed on the base 1. A fermentation tank 12 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the operating tank 11. A stirring component 2 for stirring the medicinal and edible foods is provided on the operating tank 11. A scraping component 3 for scraping the inner wall of the fermentation tank 12 is provided on the stirring component 2. The scraping component 3 can not only accelerate the fermentation speed but also clean the mixture adhering to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 12. A sieving component 4 for solid-liquid separation of traditional Chinese medicine is provided on the base 1. An inserting component 5 is provided on the fermentation tank 12 to prevent the sieving component 4 from clogging.

[0023] The stirring assembly 2 includes a first chamber 21 opened on the operating tank 11. A drive motor 22 is fixedly installed on the first chamber 21. A first rotating shaft 23 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 22. A second rotating shaft 24 is rotatably installed on the first chamber 21. A belt 25 is provided between the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24. A second chamber 26 is opened on the fermentation tank 12. Stirring gears 27 are fixedly installed on the axial sidewalls of the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24. When the stirring gears 27 rotate, they can crush the Chinese herbal medicine raw materials into small particles, increase the surface area, and accelerate the subsequent fermentation reaction.

[0024] The screening assembly 4 includes a support rod 41 fixedly installed on the base 1. A telescopic cylinder 42 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the support rod 41. A filter press sieve plate 43 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 42. The size of the filter press sieve plate 43 is the same as that of the second chamber 26.

[0025] The interpenetration assembly 5 includes a mounting plate 51 fixedly installed on the fermentation tank 12. The mounting plate 51 has two sliding grooves 52, and an interpenetration plate 53 is slidably installed on the two sliding grooves 52. A handle 54 is fixedly installed on the interpenetration plate 53. Several interpenetration tubes 55 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the interpenetration plate 53, and each of the several interpenetration tubes 55 has an interpenetration hole 56.

[0026] The outer diameter of several insertion tubes 55 is the same as the diameter of the holes in the filter screen plate 43. When the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 42 drives the filter screen plate 43 to move upward, all the insertion tubes 55 enter the holes in the filter screen plate 43, thereby clearing the filter screen plate 43 and preventing material blockage from affecting the normal operation of the filter screen plate 43.

[0027] In this embodiment: First, all the raw materials of the food-medicine homology product are poured into the fermentation tank 12. Then, the telescopic cylinder 42 is activated, causing its telescopic end to drive the filter screen plate 43 into the second chamber 26. Next, the drive motor 22 is activated, causing its output end to drive the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the second rotating shaft 24 via the belt 25, which in turn drives the two stirring gears 27 to rotate. The rotation of the two stirring gears 27 pulverizes the herbal raw materials into small particles, increasing the surface area to accelerate the subsequent fermentation reaction. At this time, the filter screen plate 43 presses downwards, and its function enables fermentation... The mixture is then subjected to solid-liquid separation to quickly extract the fermentation broth rich in active ingredients. It can also filter out impurities such as undecomposed plant fibers and bacterial fragments, ensuring the clarity and stability of the fermentation broth, which is convenient for subsequent concentration or formulation processing. During the processing, these impurities may also cause blockage of the filter screen plate 43. At this time, the insert plate 53 is pushed to move inward on the slide groove 52. Then, the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 42 drives the filter screen plate 43 to move upward. At this time, the insert tubes 55 on the insert plate 53 all enter the holes of the filter screen plate 43, thereby avoiding the material from blocking the filter screen plate 43 and reducing the fermentation efficiency.

[0028] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The scraping assembly 3 includes connecting rods 31 fixedly installed at both ends of the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24, wherein a scraper 32 is fixedly installed between the two connecting rods 31.

[0029] The scraper 32 is in contact with the inner wall of the fermentation tank 12. The scraper 32 rotates through the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24, thereby scraping off the mixture adsorbed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 12, which can also improve the fermentation efficiency.

[0030] In this embodiment: when the first rotating shaft 23 and the second rotating shaft 24 rotate, the scraper 32 will rotate. Since the scraper 32 is in contact with the inner wall of the fermentation tank 12, the mixture adsorbed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 12 will be scraped off, which can also improve the fermentation efficiency.
