Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermented bean curd processing technology, specifically to a multifunctional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production. Background Technology
[0002] Fermented bean curd is a traditional Chinese fermented soybean product. It is made from soybeans as the main ingredient and fermented by molds (such as Mucor and Rhizopus). It has a unique flavor, texture and nutritional value. It is a common side dish or seasoning in Chinese cuisine. Fermentation of fermented bean curd requires the use of a fermentation tank, which has the advantages of simple operation, stable structure and safe fermentation.
[0003] The prior art discloses a fermentation tank for fermented bean curd with high-temperature sterilization function, application number CN202321233816.X. In this utility model, the tofu blocks need to be placed into a pull-out box, which then needs to be inserted into the fermentation tank. Without a guiding structure, it is difficult for operators to quickly and accurately insert the pull-out box into the fermentation tank. Operators need to make multiple adjustments, which increases the number of operation steps and reduces the practicality of this utility model. At the same time, a filter structure needs to be installed on the bottom of the pull-out box to support the tofu blocks. This filter structure is fixedly connected to the pull-out box, making it difficult for operators to disassemble and clean it. This brings inconvenience to the replacement and cleaning of the filter structure of this utility model.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a multifunctional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] (1) This utility model adopts a concave seat and a mounting box. When using the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production, a set of pull-out boxes can be placed on multiple sets of support rollers on the same side. Then, using the control panel, a set of self-locking forward and reverse motors on the same side can be turned on. The output end of the set of self-locking forward and reverse motors on the same side can drive a set of bidirectional lead levers on the same side to rotate. Since the set of bidirectional lead levers on the same side is threadedly engaged with the two sets of lead screw sleeves on the same side, the rotating set of bidirectional lead levers can push the two sets of lead screw sleeves on the same side closer or further apart. When the two sets of lead screw sleeves on the same side are close to each other, the two sets of concave plates on the same side can be brought closer together through the two sets of sleeve plates on the same side. After the multiple sets of limit rollers on the same side contact the two sides of a set of pull-out boxes respectively, the operator can push it by hand. When this set of pull-out boxes is activated, it slides and inserts into the interior of the tank. The operation of the other pull-out boxes is the same. Using the control panel, the fan, electric heater, and multiple sets of lights can be activated. External air can enter the interior of the mounting cover through two sets of ventilated nets. This air can be heated by the electric heater, and the hot air entering the tank can sterilize and disinfect the tofu blocks. At the same time, multiple sets of lights can illuminate the surrounding environment, realizing multi-functional use. A set of crossbars on the same side can ensure the stability of the lateral movement of the two sets of socket plates on the same side. Through the set concave seat and mounting box, there is a guiding structure, which can accurately and conveniently insert the pull-out boxes into the interior of the fermentation tank structure, improving the practicality of the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production.
[0019] (2) This utility model adopts a plug-in seat and a filter screen. Before actually using the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production, a through hole is first opened on the surface of the mounting cover to ensure that the wires connected to the fan and electric heater can be connected to the control panel. The gap between the through hole and the wire can be sealed with high-temperature resistant glue. When multiple sets of filter screens need to be cleaned, the operator can pull out a set of pull-out boxes, and then take out a set of plug-in seats on the same side through the four sets of vertical rods on the same side. Then, the plug-in seats are inverted and the inverted plug-in seats are moved downwards. When the four sets of rubber ball heads on the same side hit the ground, the tofu residue adsorbed on the surface of the filter screen will be detached due to inertia and gravity. Then, the plug-in seats can be rinsed. The use of the other sets of plug-in seats is the same as the operation. With the plug-in seats and filter screens, the filter screen structure is easy to disassemble and assemble without affecting the support of the tofu blocks, which brings convenience to the replacement and cleaning of the filter screen structure of the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production.

[0037] In one embodiment, a base is installed at the lower part of the tank body 1.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] In actual use of the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production, a set of pull-out boxes 2 can be placed on multiple sets of support rollers 12 on the same side. Then, using the control panel, a set of self-locking forward and reverse motors 20 on the same side can be activated. The output end of the set of self-locking forward and reverse motors 20 on the same side can drive a set of bidirectional lead levers 14 on the same side to rotate. Since the set of bidirectional lead levers 14 on the same side is threadedly engaged with two sets of lead screw sleeves 15 on the same side, the rotating set of bidirectional lead levers 14 can push the two sets of lead screw sleeves 15 on the same side closer or further apart. When the two sets of lead screw sleeves 15 on the same side are closer together, the two sets of concave plates 18 on the same side can be connected by the two sets of sleeve plates 16 on the same side. As the multiple sets of limiting rollers 19 on the same side come into contact with both sides of a set of pull-out boxes 2, the operator can push this set of pull-out boxes 2 by hand, and this set of pull-out boxes 2 will slide and insert into the interior of the tank 1. The use of the remaining sets of pull-out boxes 2 is the same. Using the control panel, the fan 5, electric heater 7 and multiple sets of lights 10 are activated. External air can enter the interior of the mounting cover 6 through two sets of ventilated nets 9. This air can be heated by the electric heater 7, and the hot air that finally enters the tank 1 can sterilize and disinfect the tofu blocks. At the same time, the multiple sets of lights 10 can illuminate the surrounding environment, realizing multi-functional use. A set of crossbars 17 on the same side ensures the stability of the lateral movement of the two sets of socket plates 16 on the same side. Through the provided concave seat 3 and mounting box 4, a guiding structure is provided, allowing for accurate and convenient insertion of the pull-out box 2 into the fermentation tank structure, thus improving the practicality of the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production. Before actual use of the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production, a through-hole is first opened on the surface of the mounting cover 6 to ensure that the wires connected to the fan 5 and electric heater 7 can be connected to the control panel. The gap between the through-hole and the wire can be sealed with high-temperature resistant adhesive. When multiple sets of filter screens 22 need to be cleaned, the operator can pull out one set of pull-out boxes. 2. Next, take out one set of plug-in seats 21 on the same side through the four sets of vertical rods 23 on the same side. Then, invert this set of plug-in seats 21 and move it downwards. When the four sets of rubber ball heads 24 on the same side hit the ground, the tofu residue adsorbed on the surface of this set of filter screens 22 will be detached due to inertia and gravity. Then, this set of plug-in seats 21 can be rinsed. The use of the other sets of plug-in seats 21 is the same as the operation. It can be seen that the plug-in seats 21 and filter screens 22 are set up so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the filter screen structure without affecting the support of the tofu blocks. This brings convenience to the replacement and cleaning of the filter screen structure of the multi-functional fermentation tank for fermented bean curd production.
