Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fermentation technology, specifically a layered fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] In fields such as bioengineering, food processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, fermentation is a crucial step in product production. Traditional fermentation equipment, such as large, single fermentation tanks, typically employs a batch fermentation model, where all fermentation materials are added to the tank at once for reaction. This approach has several limitations: Firstly, due to the large space within the tank, it is difficult to precisely control fermentation conditions such as temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen levels, leading to uneven microbial growth environments in different areas of the tank, affecting fermentation efficiency and product quality stability. For instance, in large beer fermentation tanks, the temperature difference between the tank wall and the central area can reach 3-5°C, easily causing localized over- or under-fermentation, reducing beer flavor and quality.

[0003] On the other hand, traditional fermentation equipment struggles to meet the demands of multi-variety, small-batch production. As market demand for personalized products grows, such as specialty fermented foods and customized biopharmaceuticals, companies need to frequently switch fermentation processes and product types. However, changing products in a single fermentation tank requires significant time for cleaning, disinfection, and equipment parameter adjustments, reducing equipment utilization and increasing production costs.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a layered fermentation device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve at least one of the problems mentioned in the background art, a layered fermentation device is proposed.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A layered fermentation device of this utility model includes a base plate and a heating coil; a support assembly is provided on the top of the base plate, and a fermentation mechanism is provided on the top of the base plate; a driving assembly is provided on the top of the base plate, and a docking assembly is provided on the top of the base plate; a stirring assembly is provided on the inner wall of the fermentation tank; the support assembly includes guide rods and fixing rings, three sets of guide rods are provided, the three sets of guide rods are fixedly installed in a ring on the top of the base plate, and three sets of fixing rings are provided, the three sets of fixing rings are fixedly installed longitudinally on both sides of the guide rods; the cooperation of the guide rods and fixing rings can provide stable support for the fermentation tank, preventing it from shaking during use and ensuring the safe use of the fermentation tank.

[0007] Preferably, the fermentation mechanism includes a stepped groove, fixed sliders, and a fermentation tank. The stepped groove is formed on the inner wall of the guide rod. Three sets of fixed sliders are provided, and the three sets of fixed sliders are longitudinally slidably installed on the inner wall of the guide rod. The three sets of fixed sliders are arranged longitudinally at equal intervals through the stepped groove. The side of the fixed slider away from the guide rod is fixedly installed to the fermentation tank. In this design, the stepped groove allows the fermentation tank to be placed in layers, enabling users to ferment different types of items simultaneously, thus improving the utilization rate of the equipment. The combined use of the fixed sliders and the fermentation tank can provide users with a multi-layered fermentation space.

[0008] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor and a drive shaft. The motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate, and the output end of the motor is fixedly mounted to the drive shaft. In this scheme, the cooperation between the motor and the drive shaft can provide power for the rotation of multiple driven shafts, ensuring that they can be used normally and efficiently.

[0009] Preferably, the docking assembly includes a driven shaft and a slot. The driven shaft is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the fermentation tank. The bottom of the driven shaft is movably engaged with the drive shaft. The bottom of the driven shaft has a slot. The three sets of driven shafts are movably engaged with each other through the slots. In this design, the driven shafts can be engaged with each other through the slots, and can also be connected to the drive shaft. This ensures that they can be driven by the drive shaft without affecting disassembly, thus improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0010] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes stirring blades and through holes. The stirring blades are arranged in three sets, and the three sets of stirring blades are fixedly installed in a ring on the surface of the driven shaft. The stirring blades are located inside the fermentation tank, and the surface of the stirring blades is provided with through holes. In this scheme, the stirring blades and through holes work together to stir the materials inside the fermentation tank so that they can be mixed more thoroughly, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency of the materials.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the fermentation tank is fixedly installed with the heating coil. In this scheme, the heating coil can increase the fermentation speed of the material inside the fermentation tank by heating, thereby shortening the fermentation cycle and increasing the production speed.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. The layered fermentation device of this utility model, through the setting of guide rod and fixing ring, enables the guide rod and fixing ring to provide stable support for the fermentation tank, so that it will not shake during use and ensure the safe use of the fermentation tank.

[0014] 2. The layered fermentation device of this utility model, through the setting of stepped slots, fixed sliders and fermentation tanks, enables the fermentation tanks to be placed in layers, allowing users to ferment different kinds of items at the same time, thus improving the utilization rate of the equipment. The combination of fixed sliders and fermentation tanks can provide users with multi-layered fermentation space. Attached Figure Description
