[0034] 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.

[0035] Reference Figures 1-2This utility model provides an embodiment of a quantitative food fermentation device, comprising a fermentation tank 1, in which food is placed for fermentation. A feed pipe 2 is connected through and fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fermentation tank 1. Food raw materials are added to the fermentation tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. A dust cover 3 is provided on the upper surface of the feed pipe 2. The dust cover 3 can be rotated open. When the dust cover 3 is closed, it can cover the feed pipe 2, but it is not sealed. This can prevent external dust from entering and allow the gas generated during fermentation to be discharged. A discharge pipe 4 for discharging the fermented raw materials is connected through and fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fermentation tank 1. A solenoid valve 5 for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 4 is provided in the middle section of the discharge pipe 4. The solenoid valve 5 is prior art and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. Since it is prior art, it will not be described in detail in this case. A stirring component is provided inside the fermentation tank 1 to stir the fermented food. This can make the fermented food and the fermentation liquid fully mixed to ensure the fermentation effect. A quantitative feeding mechanism for controlling the amount of fermentation liquid added is provided on the upper surface of the fermentation tank 1.

[0036] Reference Figures 2-4 The quantitative feeding mechanism includes a feeding component, which includes a transition tank 83. The transition tank 83 is transparent and has graduations marked on its right surface. The transition tank 83 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fermentation tank 1. A guide rod 87 is elastically connected to the upper surface of the transition tank 83 via a compression spring 86. A slide rod 810 is slidably connected through the lower surface of the guide rod 87. The slide rod 810 moves longitudinally. A sealing gasket 811 for pushing the fermentation liquid is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the slide rod 810. The sealing gasket 811 has a rigid inner material and a rubber outer material, which can maintain a seal and ensure that it will not deform and affect use. A passage for external fermentation liquid to enter is fixedly connected through the bottom of the rear surface of the transition tank 83. The inlet pipe 81 of the transition tank 83 is equipped with a one-way valve 82 in the middle section. The one-way valve 82 can only allow the fluid to flow in one direction and can only allow the liquid in the inlet pipe 81 to flow from back to front. The lower surface of the transition tank 83 is penetrated and fixedly connected to an outlet pipe 84 that discharges the fermentation liquid inside the transition tank 83 into the fermentation tank 1. The middle section of the outlet pipe 84 is equipped with a one-way valve 85. The one-way valve 85 can only allow the fluid to flow in one direction and can only allow the liquid in the tank to flow from top to bottom. Both the one-way valve 82 and the one-way valve 85 are existing technologies and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. Since they are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail in this case.

[0037] Reference Figures 3-5The liquid outlet pipe 84 feeding assembly also includes a screw 89, which is threaded through and connected to the upper surface of the slide bar 810. A handwheel 88 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the screw 89 for easy gripping by the user. The outer wall of the handwheel 88 has a recess that fits the shape of the finger. The quantitative feeding mechanism also includes a storage tank 71 for storing the fermentation liquid. The storage tank 71 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fermentation tank 1. A sealing plug 72 is provided on the upper surface of the storage tank 71.

[0038] Reference Figures 2-4 The guide rod 87 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the transition tank 83. The guide rod 87 moves longitudinally. When the guide rod 87 moves downward, it will press the compression spring 86 to generate a reaction force. The sealing gasket 811 is piston connected to the inner surface of the transition tank 83. The sealing gasket 811 moves longitudinally. When the sealing gasket 811 moves up and down, it will change the air pressure in the transition tank 83 below the sealing gasket 811. The liquid outlet pipe 84 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the fermenter 1.

[0039] Reference Figures 3-5 The screw 89 passes through and is rotatably connected to the inner surface of the guide rod 87. When the screw 89 rotates, it can drive the slide rod 810 to move up and down. The top of the guide rod 87 protrudes from the top of the screw 89. The rear end of the liquid inlet pipe 81 passes through and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the front surface of the storage tank 71. The top of the storage tank 71 is provided with a feed port. The sealing plug 72 is inserted into the inner wall of the feed port. The sealing plug 72 can seal the storage tank 71. The sealing plug 72 can be removed.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-2 The stirring assembly includes a motor 61, which is existing technology and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. As it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail in this case. The motor 61 is set on the upper surface of the fermentation tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 61 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 62. The motor 61 can drive the rotating shaft 62 to rotate. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 62 is fixedly connected to a stirring blade 63. The left surface of the rotating shaft 62 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 64. The left end of the connecting rod 64 is fixedly connected to a scraper 65. The left end of the scraper 65 contacts the inner surface of the fermentation tank 1, and the contact surface between the scraper 65 and the fermentation tank 1 is an arc surface and is made of a flexible material.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-2 The rotating shaft 62 is connected to the inner surface of the fermentation tank 1 through and rotating. The upper surface of the rotating shaft 62 is flush with the upper surface of the fermentation tank 1. The inner wall of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 is set as an arc shape with high sides and low center to facilitate the discharge of raw materials after fermentation.

[0042] Working principle: When using this device, first add the food raw materials through the feed pipe 2, and then cover it with the dust cover 3. Then adjust the amount of fermentation liquid added according to the amount of food raw materials.

[0043] During adjustment, turn the handwheel 88 to drive the screw 89 to rotate, which in turn drives the slide bar 810 and the sealing gasket 811 to move up and down. While the sealing gasket 811 is moving, observe the scale on the transition barrel 83 in real time. When the lower surface of the sealing gasket 811 is aligned with the corresponding scale, stop turning the handwheel 88, and the sealing gasket 811 will remain at the current height.

[0044] Then, pressing down the guide rod 87 moves the slide rod 810 and sealing gasket 811 to the lowest end, compressing the compression spring 86 to generate a reaction force. Then, the pre-prepared fermentation liquid is added to the storage tank 71, and the guide rod 87 is released. The reaction force of the compression spring 86 will push the guide rod 87 to move the slide rod 810 and sealing gasket 811 upward to the high end. During this process, the sealing gasket 811 will generate suction, which can draw a fixed amount of fermentation liquid from the storage tank 71 through the inlet pipe 81. Then, pressing down the guide rod 87, the fermentation liquid drawn from the transition tank 83 will be discharged into the fermentation tank 1 through the outlet pipe 84. Due to the setting of one-way valve 1 82 and one-way valve 2 85, the one-way flow of the fermentation liquid can be realized, which can avoid backflow. After the adjustment is completed, if the same amount of fermentation liquid is used later, there is no need to repeat the adjustment, and it can be used directly.

[0045] Then, the motor 61 is started to drive the rotating shaft 62 to rotate. The rotating shaft 62 will drive the stirring blade 63, the connecting rod 64 and the scraper 65 to move in a circular motion. The stirring blade 63 will fully mix the food raw materials and the fermentation liquid. When the scraper 65 moves, it will scrape off the food raw materials that are stuck to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 to avoid residue.

[0046] After fermentation is complete, open the solenoid valve 5 to discharge the finished product from the discharge pipe 4. When cleaning the inside of the fermentation tank 1, the motor 61 can drive the stirring blade 63, the connecting rod 64 and the scraper 65 to rotate. Before cleaning, add cleaning water from the feed pipe 2.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
