Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of torreya processing equipment, and in particular relates to a torreya drum-type continuous fermentation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Torreya grandis, also known as Chinese torreya, belongs to the genus Torreya in the family Taxaceae. It is an evergreen tree that mainly grows in the relatively humid regions of southern China. Torreya grandis itself is a national second-class protected plant, and its fruit also has important value. Torreya grandis fruit is rich in nutrients, has a mellow flavor, and has health, medicinal, and comprehensive development and utilization value. Torreya grandis kernels are crispy and delicious after roasting, and are a nutritious and high-quality dried fruit. Various equipment is needed in the processing of Torreya grandis, among which the fermentation process is particularly important. In order to improve the fermentation effect of Torreya grandis, the use of continuous drum fermentation equipment can also accelerate the fermentation efficiency.

[0003] A search revealed that publication number CN222109218U, with an application date of April 16, 2024, discloses a roller-type post-ripening device for Torreya grandis, including a fixed frame, a roller rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and a rotating mechanism connected to the rear end of the roller; the roller includes a cylinder opening, a cylinder neck at the rear end of the cylinder opening, and a cylinder body at the rear end of the cylinder neck, with multiple through-hole areas on the side wall of the cylinder body; the inner wall of the cylinder body is provided with a first spiral blade and a second spiral blade, the spiral directions of the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade are opposite; and a cylinder cover is connected to the cylinder neck.

[0004] However, it still has the following drawbacks in practical use:

[0005] 1. Existing continuous fermentation equipment for Torreya grandis using a drum type fermentation method ferments Torreya grandis by simply rolling it. This method is time-consuming and inefficient, and the fermentation effect will be affected if the ambient temperature is not suitable.

[0006] 2. Existing continuous fermentation equipment for torreya nuts uses a fixed stirring structure to agitate the torreya nuts. However, this method still results in nut accumulation, poor aeration, and reduced fermentation efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of protective measures during drum operation shortens the equipment's lifespan. Therefore, we provide a continuous fermentation equipment for torreya nuts using a drum to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous fermentation device for Torreya grandis in a drum. By setting a temperature control component, the air temperature inside the drum is adjusted to ensure that the Torreya grandis is fermented at a suitable temperature, thereby accelerating the fermentation efficiency and effect. Furthermore, a vibrating motor is used to tumble the Torreya grandis in the drum, further accelerating the fermentation efficiency and preventing excessive accumulation of Torreya grandis in the drum, which would affect the aeration and fermentation efficiency. At the same time, the spring in the buffer component acts as a buffer, reducing the stress on the vibrating frame and the drum, and increasing their service life.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model is a continuous fermentation device for Torreya grandis using a drum type, including a movable frame 100 and a vibrating frame 101 installed directly above it. A mesh cylinder 102 is rotatably installed on the top of the vibrating frame 101. A temperature control component 200 is provided on one side of the interior of the movable frame 100. The temperature control component 200 includes a fan 201 installed on the surface of the movable frame 100 and a heating box 202 installed on one side of the fan 201. A heating wire 203 is installed on one side of the interior of the heating box 202, and a filter screen 204 is installed on the other side of the interior of the heating box 202.

[0034] Specifically, a gate 103 is provided on the outer wall of the mesh cylinder 102. Both ends of the gate 103 are slidably mounted on the outer wall of the guide rail 103a, which is fixed to the outer wall of the mesh cylinder 102. Inserts 103b are provided below both ends of the gate 103. A rotating assembly 104 is provided inside the mesh cylinder 102. The rotating assembly 104 includes a hollow shaft 104a fixed to the inner wall of the mesh cylinder 102 and a fixed stirring rod 104c fixed to the outer wall of the hollow shaft 104a. The other end of the fixed stirring rod 104c is fixed to the inner wall of the mesh cylinder 102. Air holes 104b are evenly spaced on the outer wall of the hollow shaft 104a. One end of the hollow shaft 104a is rotatably mounted inside. There is a vent pipe 104d; one end of the hollow shaft 104a passes through the bearing seat and is connected to the driven pulley 104e. The outer wall of the driven pulley 104e is connected to the outer wall of the driving pulley 104f via a belt. The driving pulley 104f is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 104g; an air inlet pipe 202a is provided at the center of one side wall of the heating box 202, and an air outlet pipe 202b is provided at the center of the other side wall of the heating box 202. The other end of the air inlet pipe 202a is connected to the air outlet of the fan 201 via a pipe joint; the other end of the air outlet pipe 202b is connected to the connecting pipe 202c via a pipe joint, and the other end of the connecting pipe 202c is connected to the vent pipe 104d via a pipe joint.

[0035] Furthermore, the heating wire 203 can heat the temperature inside the heating box 202 and monitor it with the temperature sensor; the filter screen 204 can filter impurities in the intake air; the cylinder door 103 can slide open or close under the action of the guide rail 103a; the plug 103b can limit the position of the cylinder door 103; the driving pulley 104f and the driven pulley 104e are connected under the action of the belt, which plays the role of transmission connection; and the pipe joint plays the role of pipe connection.

[0036] The operation process in this embodiment is as follows: Torreya nuts are fed into the mesh cylinder 102 through the cylinder gate 103. Then, the cylinder gate 103 is closed using the plug 103b. Next, the drive motor 104g is started. The drive motor 104g drives the driving pulley 104f to rotate. The outer wall of the driving pulley 104f is connected to the outer wall of the driven pulley 104e via a belt. Therefore, the rotation of the driving pulley 104f will drive the driven pulley 104e to rotate synchronously under the action of the belt. The rotation of the driven pulley 104e will drive the hollow shaft 104a to rotate, and the rotation of the hollow shaft 104a will drive the mesh cylinder... Rotation 102, along with the action of the fixed stirring rod 104c, tumbles the Torreya nuts inside the mesh cylinder 102, causing continuous fermentation. Simultaneously, heating wire 203 raises the temperature inside the heating chamber 202. Then, the blower 201 is started, drawing out hot air and introducing it into the hollow shaft 104a through the connecting pipe 202c. Finally, the hot air is sprayed out from the air hole 104b into the mesh cylinder 102. By adjusting the air temperature inside the mesh cylinder 102, the Torreya nuts are fermented at a suitable temperature, thereby accelerating the fermentation efficiency and effect.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 Based on Embodiment 1, unlike the first embodiment, a vibration motor 300 and a buffer assembly 400 are provided. The buffer assembly 400 includes a connecting plate 401 fixed on both sides of the front and rear end faces of the vibration frame 101, and a guide rod 402 slidably installed in the sliding hole on the connecting plate 401. A spring 402a is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 402. This solves the problem that in the existing continuous fermentation equipment for Torreya grandis drums, the Torreya grandis is stirred by a fixed stirring structure, but in this way, the Torreya grandis still accumulates, has poor air permeability, affects fermentation efficiency, and lacks protective measures during drum operation, which affects service life.

[0039] Specifically, the bottom end of the guide rod 402 is fixed to the top of the movable frame 100, and the top end of the guide rod 402 passes through the sliding hole on the connecting plate 401 and is threadedly connected to the nut 403. The spring 402a is located between the connecting plate 401 and the movable frame 100.

[0040] Furthermore, the guide rod 402 guides the spring 402a. The top of the outer wall of the guide rod 402 is threaded and connected to the nut 403, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the spring 402a or the rubber part. The rubber part is sleeved on the outside of the spring 402a and can play a role in shock absorption during vibration.

[0041] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: During the rotation of the mesh cylinder 102, the vibration motor 300 is started, which drives the vibration frame 101 and the mesh cylinder 102 to vibrate. During the vibration, the mesh cylinder 102 and the torreya nuts inside it can be tumbled up and down by the vibration, which accelerates the fermentation efficiency of the torreya nuts and avoids excessive accumulation of torreya nuts in the mesh cylinder 102, which affects the aeration and fermentation efficiency. During the up and down vibration of the vibration frame 101, the spring 402a will be continuously compressed. Under the elastic action of the spring 402a, it can play a buffering role, reduce the force on the vibration frame 101 and the mesh cylinder 102, and increase the service life.
