Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of koji brewing technology, specifically to a koji processing system. Background Technology

[0002] The use of starter culture in the food brewing industry is very widespread. Starter culture involves inoculating and cultivating starter culture on a culture medium containing treated starter culture materials, and then mixing the cultivated starter culture with food raw materials for brewing. For example, in soy sauce brewing, soy sauce is made from high-sugar, high-protein, and low-oil materials such as soybean meal and flour as the main raw materials, with starter culture added, and then produced through ventilation, pressing, and other methods. In contrast, liquor brewing uses high-sugar materials such as rice and sorghum as the main raw materials, and the raw materials are saccharified through cooking and mold, and then the starter culture is added to the raw materials for brewing.

[0003] In this process, the starter culture is the foundation of brewing. High-quality starter culture raw materials require high-quality starter culture and strict starter culture processing to produce high-quality soy sauce, miso, seasoning liquid, and other brewed foods. The starter culture is obtained by expanding the culture of Aspergillus on the starter culture raw materials, with the purpose of producing starter culture spores. Specifically, this involves stirring the starter culture raw materials, inoculating the stirred starter culture raw materials with Aspergillus, culturing the inoculated starter culture, obtaining the starter culture after the culture is completed, and then collecting the starter culture in the container. The collected starter culture is the finished starter culture, which can be used for subsequent food brewing.

[0004] The existing process for the artificial cultivation and collection of starter culture involves mixing the starter culture raw materials and then manually spreading them in a starter culture tray. After spreading, the tray is sent to a culture tank for Aspergillus inoculation and starter culture expansion. After the starter culture is completed, the tray containing the starter culture is manually transported to a collection point for manual collection. Then, it undergoes manual cleaning, drying, and other cleaning steps. After the starter culture tray is cleaned, it is manually spread again. The collected starter culture is then sent to the subsequent food brewing process.

[0005] Based on the above-mentioned seed koji processing process, the technicians involved need to have multiple direct contacts with the seed koji, making them highly susceptible to inhaling seed koji dust. This dust can cause health problems such as infection and fever among the technicians. Furthermore, manual operation during production is often subject to the introduction of contaminants or failure to meet standard requirements due to human limitations or fatigue. Moreover, manual operation makes it difficult to guarantee stable seed koji processing quality, resulting in high product quality variation. Additionally, the high level of human involvement in the production process, as a difficult-to-control risk factor, also increases production risks.

[0006] Manual operation suffers from problems such as low efficiency, high cost, and safety hazards, while mechanical automation still requires human intervention at various stages, or rework or manual processing may be necessary due to issues such as precision or functional defects.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing seed processing system. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a seed processing system, comprising:

[0009] The seed koji feeding mechanism is used to introduce the koji tray containing the seed koji into the seed koji processing system;

[0010] A seed collection mechanism, connected to the seed feeding mechanism, is capable of separating and collecting the seed culture from the seed tray introduced by the seed feeding mechanism;

[0027] Since the effectiveness of the cleaning operation of the crank plate is directly related to the fineness of the cleaning, and the finer the cleaning, the greater the water consumption, the cleaning and drying mechanism provided in this embodiment can recycle the water used for cleaning. This setting can avoid water waste and reduce cleaning costs.

[0028] Optionally, the fabric-making mechanism includes:

[0029] The feeding unit is used to feed the seed koji raw materials and culture medium into the fabric feeding mechanism from the outside;

[0030] The mixing unit is used to mix the seed koji raw material with the culture medium in a preset ratio;

[0032] A conveying unit is used to convey the curved disc to the discharge unit and to convey the curved disc after it has been covered with material to the next work station.

[0033] Specifically, the mixing unit can be a mixer, and the culture medium can be water. Preferably, the feeding unit is equipped with a flow meter for detecting the flow rate of the culture medium and a flow valve for controlling the flow rate of the culture medium on the culture medium transport pipeline, so as to accurately control the ratio of culture medium to seed raw material.

[0034] Optionally, the disc ejection mechanism includes:

[0042] In summary, this application provides an automated system for seed koji processing, which realizes a fully automated process from koji tray introduction, seed koji separation and collection, koji tray cleaning and drying, material distribution to koji tray output through a series of interconnected mechanisms.

[0043] Its technical effects are as follows:

[0048] The process for processing koji has been optimized, achieving more refined processing with fewer steps:

[0049] Process integration: Integrating multiple independent koji processing steps into a continuous automated system reduces material handling and waiting time, and improves overall efficiency.

[0050] Refined processing: The design of each mechanism takes into account the special needs of seed culture processing. For example, more thorough separation is achieved by turning the tray and scraping the seed culture, and the uniformity of the culture medium is ensured by precise mixing and distribution.

[0062] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. 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.

[0063] This embodiment provides a seed processing system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0064] The seed koji feeding mechanism 100 is used to introduce a koji tray containing seed koji into the seed koji processing system;

[0065] The seed collection mechanism 200 is connected to the seed feeding mechanism and is capable of separating and collecting the seed culture on the seed tray introduced by the seed feeding mechanism.

[0066] The cleaning and drying mechanism 300 is connected to the seed collection mechanism and can clean and dry the seed trays after the seed collection mechanism has separated the seed.

[0067] The flipping mechanism 400 is connected to the cleaning and drying mechanism 300, which can flip the cleaned and dried tray to a preset position, specifically the side for holding the seed tray facing upwards.

[0068] A fabric-laying mechanism 500, connected to the washing and drying mechanism, is capable of laying the raw materials for cultivating koji on the koji tray processed by the washing and drying mechanism; and

[0069] The curved plate ejection mechanism 600 is connected to the cloth feeding mechanism and is used to guide the curved plate frame containing the cloth to the outside of the curvature processing system.

[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the seed koji feeding mechanism 100 is used to transport the koji tray 700 (also called the koji tray) containing the seed koji to the seed koji processing equipment for processing, including:

[0071] The curved frame unit 110 is used to dock with the external loading mechanism to guide the loading tray from the external loading mechanism to the loading mechanism 100 through the curved frame 800; optionally, the curved frame unit 110 includes a lifting device 111, the upper surface of the lifting device 111 is used to place the curved frame 800, and can raise the curved frame 800 to the position corresponding to the unloading station 130 of the curved tray 700.

[0072] The first pusher unit 120 is capable of pushing the curved plate from the curved frame 800 to the unloading station 130; and

[0073] The unloading station 130 can receive the discs conveyed by the first pushing unit 120 and convey the discs to the seed disc collection mechanism 200 at preset time intervals. Specifically, the time interval of the pushing action of the first pushing station 120 can be set to a preset time interval. This design can ensure that the action of conveying the discs is continuous, stable and predictable, so that the next mechanism (seed disc collection mechanism) can have sufficient and reasonable time to process the discs.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, the seed koji collection mechanism 200 is used to separate the seed koji and the koji tray 700, and to transport the separated seed koji and the koji tray 700 to the next workstation respectively, including:

[0075] The scraping station 210 includes a flipping unit 211 for flipping the koji tray 700 to a preset position; and a scraping unit 212 for separating the koji from the koji tray 700; and

[0076] Seed collection station 220 is used to collect the separated seed culture;

[0077] The flipping unit 211 includes a base 2111 and a flipping plate 2112 rotatably connected to the base 2111. The flipping plate 2112 can accommodate and fix the curved plate 700 stored therein, and drive the curved plate 700 to flip so that the position of the curved plate 700 corresponds to that of the scraping unit 212. Two sensing units 2113 for detecting the position of the flipping plate 2112 are provided at the lower part of the flipping plate 2112. The two sensing units 2113 are located on both sides of the base 2111 in the front-back direction and are configured as follows:

[0078] When both sensing units 2113 detect the crank plate 700 simultaneously, a scraping command is sent to the scraping unit 212.

[0079] Since the positional deviation of the curved disc 700 after flipping can easily lead to uneven scraping, there may be a lot of residual scraping material in some positions, which not only causes losses, but also increases the difficulty of subsequent cleaning of the curved disc 700. This setting can ensure that the curved disc 700 is accurately flipped to the preset position, which is usually a horizontal position, so as to facilitate the scraping unit 212 to perform more thorough scraping operations.

[0080] Optionally, the scraping unit 212 includes:

[0081] The scraper assembly 2121 includes a scraper 01 and a feed cylinder 02. The feed cylinder 02 is connected to the scraper 01 and is used to control the extension and retraction of the scraper 01 along the length direction. The scraper 01 can respond to the scraping command and perform scraping operation. Specifically, the scraper 01 can reciprocate or move in one direction in the front-back direction to separate the seed curve from the bending plate 700.

[0082] Optionally, the scraping unit 212 further includes:

[0083] The soft scraper 03 includes multiple strips arranged in a circumferential direction. By rotating, the strips beat the curved plate, causing the koji material on the plate to fall off through the beating and vibration. It is positioned downstream of the scraper 01 in the conveying direction of the curved plate 700 to further remove the residual koji material on the curved plate 700 after being scraped by the scraper assembly 2121. Preferably, the soft scraper 03 can be made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), but its application is not limited to this. As long as it can achieve good vibration and beating effects and has the characteristics of not being easily damaged or worn, it can be used as an alternative material. For example, the soft scraper can also be made of polyurethane, silicone rubber, natural rubber, TPE, nylon, or composite materials thereof.

[0084] The main function of the scraper 01 is to separate the seed koji from the koji tray 700. Its material is usually hard, such as metal. With the cooperation of the soft scraper 03, the residue of the seed koji can be further separated from the koji tray 700, making the separation of the seed koji more precise and effective, and maximizing the output of the seed koji.

[0085] Preferably, the base 2111 of the flipping unit 211 is configured to have a telescopic function, which can shake off the seed cake by vibrating through vertical extension and retraction and contact with the scraping station 210 located below.

[0086] Optionally, the seed collection station 220 includes:

[0087] The first receiving unit 221 is located below the scraping unit 212 and is used to receive the seed koji scraped off from the koji plate 700 by the scraping unit 212. The bottom of the receiving unit 221 is provided with a koji discharge auger 2211 for crushing the seed koji. The koji discharge port 2212 of the first receiving unit 221 is located below the koji discharge auger 2211 to discharge the crushed seed koji.

[0088] The air conveying unit 222 is connected to the outlet 2212 of the first receiving unit 221 and can convey the pulverized koji through the koji outlet screw 2211 to the second receiving unit 223.

[0089] The second receiving unit 223 can receive the seed koji conveyed by the air conveying unit 222. Its bottom koji outlet is equipped with a koji discharging meter 2231, which can discharge the seed koji in a quantitative manner to carry out refined management of seed koji collection.

[0090] Optionally, the pneumatic conveying unit 222 includes:

[0091] The seed koji temporary storage unit 10 includes an air outlet 11, an air inlet 12 and a material discharge port 13, and can temporarily store the seed koji by means of air conveying.

[0092] The fan 20 is connected to the air outlet 11 and is used to provide power for sending the seed air to the seed storage unit 10;

[0093] The air inlet 12 is connected to the outlet 2212 of the first receiving unit 221, and can send the seed broth from the outlet 2212 to the seed broth storage unit 10.

[0094] The feed port 13 is connected to the second receiving unit 223 and can transfer the seed culture to the second receiving unit 223.

[0095] Optionally, the seed koji storage unit 10 includes a backflush valve 14, which can control the airflow direction between the koji outlet and the seed koji storage unit 10 so that the koji material to be collected can fall smoothly.

[0096] Optionally, a seed collection vehicle 230 is provided below the second seed collection unit 223, which can transfer the seed discharged from the second seed collection unit 223 to the outside of the seed collection mechanism 200.

[0097] Optionally, the seed collection mechanism 200 also includes a second pusher unit for pushing the seed disc to the flipping unit 211. Since its structure and function are similar to the first pusher unit, it will not be described in detail here.

[0098] Optionally, the koji collection mechanism 200 also includes a koji tray conveying station 240, which conveys the koji tray 700 after koji material separation to the next station. Specifically, the koji tray conveying station 240 includes a tray pushing device 241, which can push the koji tray 700 to a preset position under the drive of a tray pushing cylinder. In some embodiments, since the height of the next mechanism is lower than that of the koji tray conveying station 240, the koji tray 700 can be lowered to a position corresponding to the height of the next mechanism by a lifting device, so as to facilitate the continued conveying and processing of the koji tray 700.

[0099] like Figure 4 As shown, since some seed culture remains on the curved plate 700 after the scraping operation, it is necessary to remove the seed culture before further operations can be carried out, such as injecting culture medium onto the curved plate 700. The cleaning and drying mechanism 300 is used to clean and dry the curved plate 700 after the scraping operation; including:

[0100] The cleaning unit 310 is used to clean the crank plate 700;

[0101] A drying unit 320, located downstream of the cleaning unit 310, is used to dry the curved disc 700 cleaned by the cleaning unit 310; and

[0102] The water circulation unit 330 can collect the wastewater generated by the cleaning unit 310 and treat it for recycling by the cleaning and drying mechanism 300.

[0103] Since the cleaning effect of the crank plate 700 is directly related to the fineness of the cleaning, and the finer the cleaning, the greater the water consumption, the cleaning and drying mechanism provided in this embodiment can recycle water for cleaning. This setting can avoid water waste and reduce cleaning costs.

[0104] Optionally, the cleaning and drying mechanism 300 also includes a dehumidification unit 350, which is located above the cleaning unit 310. Its exhaust port corresponds to the position of the cleaning unit 310 and can dehumidify the cleaning and drying mechanism 300 by drawing air through a fan.

[0105] Optionally, the cleaning unit 310 includes: a conveying unit 311, capable of conveying the disc 700 along a preset direction;

[0106] The spray unit 312 is used to wet the surface of the curved plate 700 in order to remove residual seed culture on the curved plate 700;

[0107] A scrubbing unit 313, located downstream of the spray unit 312, is used to scrub the 600-degree curved disc wetted by the spray unit 312; and

[0108] The rinsing unit 314 is located downstream of the brushing unit 313 and is used to rinse the residual seed culture on the brushing disc 700 after it has been brushed by the brushing unit.

[0109] In this embodiment, the coordinated arrangement of the spray unit 312, the brushing unit 313 and the rinsing unit 314 makes the cleaning of the spool 700 more refined, which can fully remove the residual seed koji impurities on the spool 700 and provide better cultivation conditions for subsequent seed koji cultivation.

[0110] Optionally, the spray unit 312 includes:

[0111] The first water spraying device 3121 is located on the upper and lower sides of the conveying unit 311 and can wet the surface of the curved plate 700 conveyed to the spraying unit 312.

[0112] Optionally, the scrubbing unit 313 includes: a second water spraying device 3131, disposed on the upper and lower sides of the conveying device 311, capable of wetting the surface of the curved disc 700 conveyed to the spraying unit 312; and a washing device 3132, disposed on the upper and lower sides of the conveying device 311 corresponding to the position of the second water spraying device 3131, capable of scrubbing the surface of the curved disc 700.

[0113] Optionally, the rinsing unit 314 includes a third water spraying device 3141, which is disposed on the upper and lower sides of the conveying device 311 and is capable of rinsing the residual seeds on the surface of the disc 700 conveyed to the rinsing unit 314.

[0114] The first water spray device 3121, the second water spray device 3131 and the third water spray device 3141 can all be implemented in the form of nozzles. Preferably, the water pressure of the third water spray device 3141 is configured to be stronger than that of the first water spray device 3121 and the second water spray device 3131. This configuration is to achieve a better rinsing function.

[0115] Optionally, the water circulation unit 330 includes:

[0116] A water collection device 331, located below the cleaning unit 310, is used to receive and collect wastewater generated during the operation of the cleaning unit 310, filter it, and then return it to the water storage device 332; and

[0117] The water storage device 332 has its outlet connected to the cleaning unit 310, which can supply water to the cleaning unit 310. Its inlet is connected to the outlet of the water collection device 331 to realize water circulation.

[0118] Optionally, the bottom of the water collection device 331 is provided with a filter device 3311 for filtering wastewater, and its outlet is located at the bottom of the filter device 3311. The filter device 3311 can filter out impurities such as seed residue, so that the wastewater can be reused after purification.

[0119] Optionally, the water collection device 331 includes multiple water collection tanks 3112. Each water collection tank 3112 is equipped with the filter device 3311 described above at its bottom. Each water collection tank 3112 is also equipped with a level sensor 3113 for detecting the liquid level of the water collection tank 3112. An electrically controlled valve 3114 is provided between the water collection device 331 and the water storage device 332. The electrically controlled valve 3114 is configured to open in response to the signal from the level sensor 3113 that the liquid level has reached the target position, so as to deliver the purified water to the water storage device 332. This configuration can prevent the water collection tank 3112 from overflowing and can maximize the filtration time of the wastewater to achieve a better filtration effect.

[0120] Optionally, the first water spraying device 3121, the second water spraying device 3131 and the third water spraying device 3141 are configured to spray water by pumping, and the water pressure can be determined by the power of the pump.

[0121] Preferably, the conveying unit 311 is provided with a hollow structure (not shown), and the position of the water spraying unit and washing device located at the lower part of the conveying unit 311 corresponds to the position of the hollow structure of the conveying unit 311. This arrangement allows the surface of the turntable 700 to be fully wetted, rinsed and washed.

[0122] Preferably, the first water spray device 3121, the second water spray device 3131, and the third water spray device 3141 are configured to spray water in response to the passage of the crank 700. More specifically, in response to the crank 700 being moved to a position corresponding to the first water spray device 3121, the second water spray device 3131, and the third water spray device 3141 along the height direction, the corresponding water spray device performs a water spraying action. In response to the crank 700 leaving the position corresponding to the first water spray device 3121, the second water spray device 3131, and the third water spray device 3141 along the height direction (in other words, when the sensor no longer senses the crank 700), the corresponding water spray device stops spraying water. The opening and stopping of the water spraying action of the water spray device can be controlled by a valve (not shown). Further, the valve can be a sensor-type valve, or the valve can be linked with a sensor (not shown) to perform corresponding actions based on the sensor's sensing status to realize the above control logic.

[0123] This design allows the water spray device to effectively rinse and wet the crank plate 700, while also further preventing the waste of water resources.

[0124] Optionally, the cleaning and drying mechanism 300 also includes a conveying unit 340 for conveying the dried disc 700 to the next station.

[0128] like Figure 6 As shown, the fabric-laying mechanism 500 is used to lay the seed koji material on the koji tray that has been flipped by the flipping mechanism 400, including:

[0129] Feeding unit 510 is used to feed seed raw materials and culture medium into the cloth feeding mechanism 500 from the outside;

[0130] The mixing unit 520 is used to mix the starter culture material with the culture medium in a preset ratio;

[0131] The discharge unit 530 is used to process and convey the mixed material to the position corresponding to the curved plate; and

[0132] The conveying unit 540 is used to convey the curved plate to the discharge unit 530 and to convey the curved plate filled with material after receiving the material to the next work station.

[0133] Specifically, the mixing unit 520 can be a mixer, and the culture medium can be water. Preferably, in the feeding unit 510, the culture medium transport pipeline is equipped with a flow meter for detecting the flow rate of the culture medium and a flow valve for controlling the flow rate of the culture medium, so as to accurately control the ratio of culture medium to seed raw material.

[0134] Optionally, the fabric feeding mechanism 500 also includes a dispersing unit 550, which is connected to the mixing unit 520 and can disperse the mixed material.

[0135] The discharge unit 530 is located below the discharge port of the dispersing unit 550. The discharge unit 530 includes a conveying device. The dispersing unit 550 can spread the dispersed material on the conveying device. The discharge port of the discharge unit 530 is located on the path of the curved plate conveyor so that the material can be spread in the curved plate by the conveying device.

[0136] like Figure 7 As shown, the tray discharge mechanism 600 is used to transport a tray filled with material to the outside of the koji processing equipment, and includes:

[0137] The discharge unit 610 is used to move the curved tray containing material to a position corresponding to the curved frame of the feed unit 620; and

[0138] The infeed frame unit 620 is used to place the curved frame on the curved plate dispensing mechanism.

[0139] The technical solution of this utility model has now been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Without departing from the principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions resulting from these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
