[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] This application provides a combined lactic acid bacteria fermentation and cultivation device, including a fermenter 1. A support plate 2 is fixedly nested on the outer wall of the top of the fermenter 1. A rubber sealing plate 3 is provided on the top of the support plate 2. A sealing cover 4 is attached to the top of the rubber sealing plate 3. A first fixing bolt 5 is threadedly connected to the connection between the support plate 2, the rubber sealing plate 3, and the sealing cover 4. A motor 6 is provided on the top of the sealing cover 4. A rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6. Four sets of stirring shafts 8 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 7. A feed pipe is connected to the inner wall of the support plate 2. 9. The bottom of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 is connected to the discharge pipe 10. The outer wall of the stirring shaft 8 is movably nested with a cleaning component, which facilitates closing the valve on the discharge pipe 10 and opening the valve on the inlet pipe 9 to add the lactic acid bacteria fermentation raw material into the fermentation tank 1 through the inlet pipe 9. When there is enough lactic acid bacteria fermentation raw material in the fermentation tank 1, the valve on the inlet pipe 9 is closed. Under the setting of the support plate 2, the rubber sealing plate 3 and the sealing cover 4, the lactic acid bacteria are fermented, the motor 6 is working, and the rotating shaft 7 is rotating. At the same time, the four sets of stirring shafts 8 stir the lactic acid bacteria fermentation raw material.
[0024] The cleaning assembly mainly includes a connecting sleeve 11, a second fixing bolt 12 threadedly connected to the mating part of the stirring shaft 8 and the connecting sleeve 11, a first scraper 13 fixedly connected to the end of the connecting sleeve 11 away from the stirring shaft 8, and a second scraper 14 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first scraper 13. This facilitates the addition of distilled water to the fermentation tank 1 through the feed pipe 9 when the lactic acid bacteria fermentation culture equipment needs cleaning, causing the motor 6 to work and drive the rotating shaft 7 and four sets of stirring shafts 8 to rotate. With the four sets of connecting sleeves 11 and four sets of second fixing bolts 12, the two sets of first scrapers 13 rotate along the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, while the two sets of second scrapers 14 rotate along the bottom of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 to clean the fermentation tank 1. When cleaning is completed, the valve on the discharge pipe 10 is opened to discharge the cleaned water.
[0025] Furthermore, the first fixing bolt 5 is provided in three sets. The three sets of first fixing bolts 5 are set at equal angles with the sealing cover 4, which is conducive to the threaded connection between the three sets of first fixing bolts 5 and the inner wall of the support plate 2, the rubber sealing plate 3 and the sealing cover 4, so as to achieve the sealing of the fermentation tank 1 and prevent air from entering the fermentation tank 1.
[0026] Furthermore, the four sets of stirring shafts 8 are positioned at equal intervals with respect to the rotating shaft 7, and the ends of the four sets of stirring shafts 8 away from the rotating shaft 7 are nested with connecting sleeves 11, which is beneficial for the four sets of rotating shafts 7 to stir the lactic acid bacteria at different levels in the fermentation tank 1 and shorten the fermentation time of lactic acid bacteria.
[0027] Furthermore, valves are installed on the feed pipe 9 and the discharge pipe 10, which facilitates the closing of the valves on the feed pipe 9 and the discharge pipe 10 during lactic acid bacteria fermentation in the lactic acid bacteria fermentation culture equipment, preventing air from entering the fermentation tank 1, while also facilitating the addition and discharge of lactic acid bacteria.
[0028] Furthermore, the first scraper 13 is attached to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, and the second scraper 14 is attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, which facilitates the rotation of the two sets of first scrapers 13 along the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, while the two sets of second scrapers 14 rotate along the bottom of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, making it convenient to clean the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1.
[0029] Furthermore, a temperature sensing rod 15 extends through the inner wall of the sealing cap 4. A wire 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the temperature sensing rod 15, and an LCD screen 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the wire 16 away from the temperature sensing rod 15. This facilitates the temperature sensing rod 15 being submerged in the fermenting lactic acid bacteria. The LCD screen 17 displays the temperature data during the fermentation of the lactic acid bacteria through the wire 16.
[0030] Furthermore, the temperature sensing rod 15 is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 4, and the outer wall of the temperature sensing rod 15 is adapted to the sealing cover 4, which helps to prevent air from entering the fermenter 1 through the gap between the temperature sensing rod 15 and the sealing cover 4, thus affecting the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria.
[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0032] Working principle: Close the valve on the discharge pipe 10 and open the valve on the inlet pipe 9. Add the lactic acid bacteria fermentation raw material into the fermentation tank 1 through the inlet pipe 9. When there is enough lactic acid bacteria fermentation raw material in the fermentation tank 1, close the valve on the inlet pipe 9. Under the setting of the support plate 2, rubber sealing plate 3 and sealing cover 4, the lactic acid bacteria fermentation will be carried out. The motor 6 will work and drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. At the same time, the four sets of stirring shafts 8 will stir the lactic acid bacteria fermentation raw material. At this time, the temperature sensing rod 15 is immersed in the fermenting lactic acid bacteria. The temperature data of the lactic acid bacteria fermentation is displayed on the LCD screen 17 through the wire 16.
[0033] When the lactic acid bacteria fermentation is complete, open the valve on the discharge pipe 10 to discharge the fermented lactic acid bacteria. Add distilled water into the fermentation tank 1 through the inlet pipe 9 to make the motor 6 work, driving the rotating shaft 7 and four sets of stirring shafts 8 to rotate. With the four sets of connecting sleeves 11 and four sets of second fixing bolts 12 in place, the two sets of first scrapers 13 rotate along the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, while the two sets of second scrapers 14 rotate along the bottom of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 to clean the fermentation tank 1. When the cleaning is complete, open the valve on the discharge pipe 10 to discharge the cleaned water.
