Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation device technology, specifically a fermentation device with a moisture content detection function. Background Technology

[0002] When making fermented rice, a fermentation device is needed to hold the glutinous rice mixed with yeast.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN217459371U discloses a fermentation device with a moisture content detection function, comprising at least a container for holding distiller's grains, a rotating shaft disposed within the container, and a stirring blade having at least a portion protruding in the radial direction disposed axially on the rotating shaft, the stirring blade being configured to rotate with the rotating shaft to stir the distiller's grains in the container, at least one end of the rotating shaft being tractively connected to a drive unit, wherein several moisture content sensors are disposed at various locations on the inner sidewall of the container, and a control unit is also included, the control unit being electrically connected to the moisture content sensors and the drive unit in a manner that receives moisture content information sent by the moisture content sensors at different locations, calculates and processes it to form control commands for controlling the drive unit.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the stirring blade is used to stir the lees. During stirring, some lees will adhere to the surface of the stirring blade. If the stirring blade is not cleaned in time after the lees are fed, the lees on the stirring blade will deteriorate if left for a long time, affecting the use of the stirring blade. However, the stirring blade in this device is located inside the container shell and is difficult to remove and clean, which makes the practicality of the device low.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention proposes a fermentation device with a moisture content detection function. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a fermentation device with a moisture content detection function. It can limit the movement of the movable plate through the cooperation of a bidirectional screw, a threaded plate, and a limiting plate, allowing the movable plate to be quickly installed or disassembled, facilitating the removal and cleaning of the stirring blades, and improving the practicality of the device.

[0007] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is: a fermentation device with moisture content detection function, including an outer shell, an inner shell fixedly connected inside the outer shell, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe fixedly connected to the inner shell, and multiple limiting grooves opened on the inner shell, and further including;

[0008] The movable plate is movably connected to the outer shell. Multiple limiting posts are fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the limiting posts are adapted to the limiting grooves. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to the movable plate. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the movable plate, and a stirring blade is fixedly connected to the rotating column. A motor is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the stirring blade.

[0009] Preferably, a bidirectional screw is rotatably connected to the outer casing, and two threaded plates are threadedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional screw, with the two threaded plates slidably connected to the outer casing.

[0010] Preferably, two limiting plates are fixedly connected to each of the two threaded plates.

[0011] Preferably, a feeding pipe is fixedly connected to the outer shell, and multiple through holes are provided on the inner shell.

[0012] Preferably, the inner shell is equipped with multiple moisture content sensors, and the discharge pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0013] Preferably, the housing is equipped with a controller, which is electrically connected to the solenoid valve, the motor, and the moisture content sensor.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the significant advantages of this invention are:

[0015] In this invention, when the stirring blade needs to be cleaned, the bidirectional screw is rotated. Since the threaded plate is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw, the threaded plate moves in the opposite direction as the bidirectional screw rotates, causing the two limiting plates to move away from the movable plate and releasing their restriction on the movable plate. At this time, the movable plate can be moved outward, allowing it to detach from the outer shell. Since the rotating column is rotatably connected to the movable plate, the rotating column moves with the movable plate, causing the stirring blade to move out of the inner shell. The stirring blade can then be removed for easy cleaning, improving the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. 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 are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] This utility model provides an improved fermentation device with moisture content detection function. The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a fermentation device with moisture content detection function includes an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2 fixedly connected inside the outer shell 1, a feed pipe 3 and a discharge pipe 4 fixedly connected to the inner shell 2, through which lees are added, and multiple limiting grooves 7 are provided on the inner shell 2, which are arranged in a ring array with the center of the inner shell 2 as the center. The device also includes:

[0025] The movable plate 8 is movably connected inside the outer casing 1. The cross-section of the movable plate 8 is convex. Multiple limiting posts 9 are fixedly connected to the movable plate 8. The limiting posts 9 are arranged in a circular array with the center of the movable plate 8 as the center. The limiting posts 9 are adapted to the limiting groove 7. A sealing ring 10 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 8. A rotating column 11 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 8. A stirring blade 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 11. A motor 13 is fixed to the movable plate 8 by bolts. The output shaft of the motor 13 is fixed to the stirring blade 12 by a coupling. The movable plate 8 in this device can be quickly installed or removed, making it easy to remove the stirring blade 12 for cleaning, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a bidirectional screw 14 is rotatably connected to the outer casing 1. Two threaded plates 15 are threaded to both ends of the bidirectional screw 14. The two threaded plates 15 are symmetrical about the movable plate 8 and are slidably connected to the outer casing 1. The bidirectional screw 14, the threaded plates 15 and the limiting plate 16 cooperate to limit the movable plate 8, so that the movable plate 8 can be quickly installed or removed.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3As shown, two limiting plates 16 are fixedly connected to the two threaded plates 15 respectively, and the cross section of the limiting plate 16 is a right trapezoid.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a feeding pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1, through which cellar mud is added. Multiple through holes 18 are opened on the inner shell 2, through which microorganisms in the cellar mud can meet and mix with the lees for fermentation.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner shell 2 is equipped with multiple moisture content sensors 19, which detect the moisture content inside the inner shell 2. The discharge pipe 4 is equipped with a solenoid valve 5, which controls the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 4 to facilitate the feeding of the distiller's grains.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the outer casing 1 is equipped with a controller 17, which is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 5, the motor 13 and the moisture content sensor 19. The controller 17 automatically controls the speed of the motor 13 based on the moisture content information of the upper and lower layers of mash transmitted by the moisture content sensor 19, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically adjusting the composition of the grain mash according to the needs of the fermentation process.

[0031] The specific working method is as follows: When it is necessary to clean the stirring blade 12, rotate the bidirectional screw 14. Since the threaded plate 15 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 14, the threaded plate 15 moves backward with the rotation of the bidirectional screw 14, driving the two limiting plates 16 to move away from the movable plate 8, thus releasing the restriction on the movable plate 8. At this time, the movable plate 8 can be moved outward, so that the movable plate 8 is separated from the outer shell 1. Since the rotating column 11 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 8, the rotating column 11 moves with the movement of the movable plate 8, driving the stirring blade 12 to move out of the inner shell 2. The stirring blade 12 can be taken out for easy cleaning, which improves the practicality of the device.

[0032] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those described above, but also include technical solutions composed of equivalent substitutions of the above technical features. Matters not covered in this utility model are common knowledge to those skilled in the art.
