Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sealed fermentation tank technology, and in particular to a sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi. Background Technology

[0002] Edible fungi are rich in bioactive substances such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, and phenols, possessing various physiological functions including antioxidant, antitumor, and immunomodulatory effects. During fermentation, microbial metabolic activities promote the further synthesis and accumulation of these active substances. Microorganisms produce various enzymes during fermentation, catalyzing a series of biochemical reactions in the components of edible fungi, generating volatile flavor compounds such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters, thus giving edible fungi their unique flavor. For example, fermented button mushrooms develop a rich nutty and meaty aroma, enhancing the product's flavor and quality.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220246082U, which discloses an edible fungus fermentation tank. One side of the rotating shaft is fixedly installed above the fermentation tank. A sealing cover is movably connected to the fermentation tank. Two fixing blocks are fixedly installed at one end of the sealing cover and the fermentation tank, and fixing bolts are threaded into the internal parts of the two fixing blocks. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover. A buffer pad is fixedly installed on the rear side of the sealing cover and the fermentation tank, and the two buffer pads are movably connected. This edible fungus fermentation tank allows the sealing cover to be flipped up along the top of the fermentation tank via the rotating shaft. Operators can easily enter the fermentation tank for cleaning by simply flipping up the sealing cover using the handle. This allows the fermentation tank to be quickly and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, reducing the risk of interference from residual bacteria during fermentation and directly improving the quality of the products produced.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following deficiencies in this patent:

[0005] Although fermentation tanks are easy to turn over for cleaning inside, when it is necessary to pour out the fermented edible fungi, the operator often has to lift the fermentation tank, which weighs tens of liters, and tilt the bottle opening to let the edible fungi flow out. During this operation, there is a risk of tipping over or being injured due to instability.

[0006] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the applicant provides a sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides a sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi.

[0008] This application provides a sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi includes a support and a fixed cylinder. The support is provided with a locking mechanism, which includes a fixed rod, a ratchet, a rotating shaft, and a pawl. The ratchet is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the fixed rod, and the pawl is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The pawl is engaged with the ratchet.

[0010] The fixed cylinder is provided with a rotating mechanism, which includes a worm gear and a worm. The worm gear meshes with the worm, and the worm is fixedly connected to a connecting rod. A crank handle is fixedly sleeved at the end of the connecting rod.

Two inner rings of bearings are rotatably connected to both ends of each fixing rod, and the outer rings of the four bearings are correspondingly fixedly connected to the shaft holes.

[0013] Optionally, a rotating shaft is rotatably connected to two adjacent bearing through holes, a hook is fixedly connected to both sides of the pawl, a double-ended hook rod is fixedly connected to both sides of the bracket located in the hollow groove, a tension spring is hung on the hook and the double-ended hook rod, and a fixed connection is made to the pawl.

[0014] Optionally, a fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the fermenter, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the fixed cylinder.

[0016] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model uses a rotating mechanism to engage a worm gear and a worm, avoiding torque fluctuations caused by fatigue during manual handling. This ensures a smooth and controllable tilting process. The fermentation tank is connected to the worm gear via a fixed cylinder. During tilting, only the fermentation tank rotates around its axis, and its center of gravity remains within the support surface, thus avoiding the risk of tank tipping over or personnel injury due to instability caused by manual handling.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi includes a support 1 and a fixed cylinder 13. The support 1 is provided with a locking mechanism, which includes a fixed rod 3, a ratchet 5, a rotating shaft 6 and a pawl 7. The ratchet 5 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the fixed rod 3, and the pawl 7 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6. The pawl 7 is engaged with the ratchet 5.

[0028] The fixed cylinder 13 is provided with a rotating mechanism, which includes a worm gear 14 and a worm 16. The worm 16 meshes with the worm gear 14, and a connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the worm 16. A crank handle 19 is fixedly sleeved at the end of the connecting rod 17.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 Hollow grooves 100 are provided on the top of both sides of the bracket 1. Four pivot holes 101 are provided through the top of the bracket 1 on both sides. Bearing through holes 102 are provided on both sides of the two hollow grooves 100 of the bracket 1. Four expansion bolts 2 are fastened to the bottom of the bracket 1. The four expansion bolts 2 have the advantage of stabilizing the device and preventing the bracket 1 from becoming unstable during the tilting and rotation process.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 It also includes a fermentation tank 12, on both sides of which a fixing rod 3 is fixedly connected. The fixing rod 3 passes through the ratchet 5 and is fixedly connected. The inner rings of two bearings 4 are rotatably connected to both ends of each fixing rod 3. The outer rings of the four bearings 4 are correspondingly fixedly connected to the rotating shaft hole 101. A sealing cover is threaded on the fermentation tank 12. The sealing cover is mainly set to prevent the edible fungi from spoiling during the fermentation process.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to two adjacent bearing through holes 102. A hook 8 is fixedly connected to both sides of the pawl 7. A double-ended hook rod 10 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bracket 1 located in the hollow groove 100. A tension spring 9 is hung on both the hook 8 and the double-ended hook rod 10. An 11 is fixedly connected to the pawl 7. The ratchet 5, rotating shaft 6, pawl 7, hook 8, tension spring 9 and double-ended hook rod 10 are ratchet and pawl assemblies. Under the action of the tension spring 9, the pawl 7 can make the ratchet 5 rotate in an irreversible direction.

[0032] Please see Figure 5 A fixed cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the fermenter 12, and a worm gear 14 is fixedly connected to the fixed cylinder 13. The worm gear 14 is driven to rotate under a large load by a small torque input.

[0033] Please see Figure 5 The support 1 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fermenter 12 with a bearing block 15 and a through hole block 18. One end of the worm gear 16 is rotatably connected to the bearing block 15, and the connecting rod 17 is rotatably connected to the through hole block 18 and passes through the through hole block 18.

[0034] The implementation principle of a sealed fermentation tank for edible fungi in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0035] When it is necessary to pour out the edible fungi in the fermentation tank 12, the operator only needs to turn the crank handle 19. The crank handle 19 drives the connecting rod 17 and the worm gear 16 to rotate. The worm gear 16 meshes with the worm wheel 14 and makes the worm wheel 14 rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel 14 drives the fixed cylinder 13 to rotate. The fixed cylinder 13 drives the fermentation tank 12 to rotate. After rotation, the fermentation tank 12 can be rotated 120 degrees upward from the original neck position to the neck position, or the angle after rotation can be adjusted to facilitate the rapid flow of edible fungi from the neck position. Through the setting of the rotating mechanism, the worm gear 16 meshes with the worm wheel 14 to avoid torque fluctuations caused by fatigue when manually handling the tank. This ensures that the pouring process is stable and controllable. The fermentation tank 12 is connected to the worm wheel 14 through the fixed cylinder 13. When pouring, only the fermentation tank 12 rotates around the axis. The center of gravity is always within the support surface, avoiding the risk of tank tipping over or personnel injury due to instability caused by manual handling.

[0036] During the tilting and rotation of fermentation tank 12, the fixing rod 3 rotates synchronously. The rotation of the fixing rod 3 drives the ratchet 5 to rotate. Under the action of the tension spring 9, the pawl 7 can make the ratchet 5 rotate in an irreversible direction, thereby preventing accidental rotation after the fermentation tank 12 is tilted and rotated, and also avoiding the situation where one person needs to hold the fermentation tank 12 to prevent it from falling.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
