Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food fermentation technology, and in particular to an integrated food fermentation and processing machine. Background Technology

[0002] People often use fermentation equipment to ferment certain ingredients to improve their taste. However, existing fermentation equipment lacks sterilization capabilities, requiring manual spraying with alcohol before each use to prevent contamination by other microorganisms, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, existing fermentation equipment lacks cooling functions; the respiration of the microorganisms during fermentation generates a large amount of heat, causing the temperature to rise. Excessive temperature can affect the activity of the microorganisms and the fermentation effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a food fermentation processing machine that offers convenient sterilization and disinfection, prevents contamination, and facilitates cooling during fermentation to prevent excessive temperature from affecting the fermentation effect. This would overcome the shortcomings of current applications and meet current needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated food fermentation and processing machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A food fermentation and processing integrated machine includes a fermentation tank, a plug, a temperature detector, a UV lamp, and a cooling mechanism. The top of the fermentation tank is detachably threaded with a plug. A temperature detector is installed on the top of the fermentation tank and inserted inside. A UV lamp is installed at the top of the interior of the fermentation tank. The bottom of the fermentation tank is rotatably connected to the cooling mechanism, which includes a water storage shell, a heat exchange tube, a stirring rod, a semiconductor cooling chip, heat dissipation fins, and a rotating mechanism. The water storage shell is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank. A heat exchange tube is fixed to and communicates with the water storage shell. The water storage shell and heat exchange tube are filled with water. Multiple stirring rods are fixed to the outside of the heat exchange tube. Multiple fixed baffles that cooperate with the stirring rods are fixed inside the fermentation tank. A semiconductor cooling chip is installed at the bottom of the water storage shell, and heat dissipation fins are installed on the hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip. The rotating mechanism drives the water storage shell to rotate.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a motor, a first gear, and a second gear. The motor is fixed to the ground, and the first gear is fixed on the output shaft of the motor. A second gear is provided on one side of the first gear to mesh with it, and the second gear is fixed to the outside of the water storage shell.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the fermentation tank is equipped with an exhaust pipe, and a pressure relief valve is installed on the exhaust pipe.

[0008] Preferably, a waste discharge pipe is installed at the lower end of the fermentation tank, and a drain valve is installed on the waste discharge pipe.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this integrated food fermentation and processing machine, first turn on the ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the fermentation chamber for half an hour to kill any bacteria inside. Then, add the ingredients and fermentation starter to the fermentation chamber, and tighten the plug for anaerobic fermentation. The temperature during fermentation is monitored by a temperature detector. When the temperature is too high, the semiconductor cooling chip is activated to cool the water in the water storage tank and heat exchange tubes. The cold water in the heat exchange tubes absorbs heat from the fermentation chamber, thus lowering the temperature. Simultaneously, the motor drives the first and second gears to rotate, which in turn drives the water storage tank and heat exchange tubes to rotate, resulting in a more uniform temperature inside the fermentation chamber. Furthermore, the heat exchange tubes drive the stirring rod to rotate, which, in conjunction with the fixed baffle, stirs the ingredients inside the fermentation chamber, ensuring a more even mixing of the ingredients and fermentation starter and improving fermentation efficiency. In summary, this utility model offers convenient sterilization and disinfection, preventing contamination by other bacteria; and convenient cooling during fermentation, preventing excessively high temperatures from affecting the fermentation effect.

[0017] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0019] See Figures 1-5 In this embodiment of the invention, a food fermentation and processing integrated machine includes a fermentation tank 1, a plug 4, a temperature detector 5, a UV lamp 6, and a cooling mechanism 7. The top of the fermentation tank 1 is detachably fitted with the plug 4 via threads. Removing the plug 4 allows material to be added into the fermentation tank 1. The top of the fermentation tank 1 is fitted with the temperature detector 5, which is inserted into the tank. The top of the fermentation tank 1 is fitted with the UV lamp 6. The fermentation tank 1 has mounting holes (not shown) for the wires of the UV lamp 6 to pass through. The fermentation tank 1 is rotatably connected to a cooling mechanism 7 at its bottom. The cooling mechanism 7 includes: a water storage shell 701, a heat exchange tube 702, a stirring rod 703, a semiconductor refrigeration chip 704, heat dissipation fins 705, and a rotating mechanism 706. The water storage shell 701 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. A heat exchange tube 702 is fixed to and communicates with the water storage shell 701. The water storage shell 701 and the heat exchange tube 702 are filled with water. A cooling mechanism 706 is fixed to the outside of the heat exchange tube 702. Multiple stirring rods 703 are provided. Multiple fixed baffles 101, which cooperate with the stirring rods 703, are fixed inside the fermentation tank 1. A semiconductor cooling chip 704 is installed at the bottom of the water storage shell 701. Heat dissipation fins 705 are installed at the hot end of the semiconductor cooling chip 704 to dissipate heat outwards. A rotating mechanism 706 is used to drive the water storage shell 701 to rotate. The rotating mechanism 706 drives the water storage shell 701 to rotate half a turn clockwise and then half a turn counterclockwise, repeating this process to prevent the electrical wires connecting the semiconductor cooling chip 704 to the outside from getting tangled. The rotating mechanism 706 includes a motor 7061, a first gear 7062, and a second gear 7063. The motor 7061 is fixed to the ground. The first gear 7062 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 7061. A second gear 7063 meshes with the first gear 7062 on one side of the first gear 7062. The second gear 7063 is fixed to the outside of the water storage shell 701.

[0020] The top of the fermentation tank 1 is equipped with an exhaust pipe 2, and a pressure relief valve 201 is installed on the exhaust pipe 2. When the fermentation in the fermentation tank 1 produces a large amount of carbon dioxide, causing the gas pressure to be too high, the pressure relief valve 201 opens to release the pressure.

[0021] The fermentation box 1 is equipped with a waste discharge pipe 3 at its lower end, and a drain valve 301 is installed on the waste discharge pipe 3. After the fermentation box 1 is used, clean water is added to the fermentation box 1 for cleaning. After cleaning, the drain valve 301 is opened to discharge the wastewater.

[0022] A switch button 8 is installed on the top of the fermentation tank 1.

[0023] Working Principle: When using this integrated food fermentation and processing machine, first turn on the ultraviolet lamp 6 to irradiate the fermentation chamber 1 for half an hour to kill any bacteria inside. Then, add the ingredients and fermentation starter to the fermentation chamber 1, and screw on the plug 4 for anaerobic fermentation. The temperature is monitored by the temperature detector 5. When the temperature is too high, the semiconductor cooling chip 704 is activated to cool the water in the water storage tank 701 and heat exchange tube 702. The cold water in the heat exchange tube 702 absorbs heat from the fermentation chamber 1, thus lowering the temperature. Simultaneously, the motor 7061 drives the first gear 7062 and the second gear 7063 to rotate. The second gear 7063 then drives the water storage tank 701 and the heat exchange tube 702 to rotate, making the temperature inside the fermentation chamber 1 more uniform. At the same time, the heat exchange tube 702 drives the stirring rod 703 to rotate. The stirring rod 703, in conjunction with the fixed baffle 101, stirs the ingredients inside the fermentation chamber 1, ensuring a more even mixing of the ingredients and fermentation starter, thus improving fermentation efficiency.
