Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fermentation equipment, and in particular to a fermentation equipment for the production of lactic acid bacteria beverages. Background Technology

[0002] Lactic acid bacteria beverages are products made by adding water, sugar solution, etc. to the emulsion obtained by fermenting fresh milk or dairy products with lactic acid bacteria. The production of lactic acid bacteria beverages requires rapid fermentation and cultivation of internal lactic acid bacteria, so fermentation equipment is needed.

[0003] Currently, fermentation equipment for lactic acid bacteria beverage production on the market, through the setting of a stirring structure, can ensure the uniformity of the fermentation liquid. However, this leads to a complex structure, and liquid residues may remain in some joints or gaps, posing a risk of contamination. In related technologies, the output end of the drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing a set of fourth bevel gears and two sets of third bevel gears to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the lead screw and two sets of rotating rods to rotate synchronously, causing the stirring rod to stir the fermentation liquid. At the same time, the moving plate and scraper move up and down synchronously, also providing a certain stirring effect. After the reaction is completed, water and cleaning agent are added to the inside of the cylinder, and the drive motor is started, allowing the scraper to clean the inner wall of the cylinder, meeting the needs of the workers. Although this achieves a good cleaning effect, in actual use, it greatly increases the complexity of the equipment, resulting in liquid residues in dead corners or joints, posing certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fermentation apparatus for the production of lactic acid bacteria beverages, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:

[0006] A fermentation apparatus for producing lactic acid bacteria beverages includes: a lid on the top of a tank; a feed inlet fixedly connected to the top of the lid; a stirrer disposed on the lid; a discharge outlet disposed on the outside of the tank; a connecting seat one fixedly connected to the bottom of the lid; a trough formed at the bottom of the connecting seat one; a sliding groove formed on the outside of the connecting seat one; a rod slidably connected to the sliding groove; a spring sleeved on the outside of the rod, and the rod connected to the connecting seat one via the spring; a sealing gasket disposed in the trough; a connecting seat two fixedly connected to the top of the tank, with the top end of the connecting seat two inserted into the trough; a slot formed on the outside of the connecting seat two, with one end of the rod inserted into the slot; a ring rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting seat one; and a push block fixedly connected to the outside of the ring.

[0007] Optionally, the sealing gasket is inserted into the groove.

[0008] Optionally, the push block is provided with an inclined surface.

[0009] Optionally, both the second connecting seat and the first connecting seat have rounded corners.

[0010] Optionally, the connecting seat has a hole, a limit rod is slidably connected inside the hole, and a cover is fixedly connected to the top of the limit rod.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting rod is a round-headed rod.

[0012] Optionally, the height of the cover is greater than the height of the connecting seat.

[0013] Optionally, the slide, the insert rod, the spring, the sealing gasket, the slot, and the push block are a group, and multiple groups are provided between the connecting seat and the cover.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] When using this application, insert the top of the second connector into the first connector, push the insert rod to slide outward inside the groove while pulling the spring until the second connector contacts the sealing gasket. Then, the operator presses down on the cover to deform the sealing gasket. The spring's rebound force then inserts the insert rod into the slot, locking the first and second connectors together to complete the installation. Conversely, disassembly is achieved, facilitating cleaning of the structure on the cover and inside the tank.

[0016] It can also drive multiple push blocks to rotate around the center of the tank by directly rotating the ring, thereby pushing multiple insert rods to slide outwards, improving disassembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] In the current technology, the output of the drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing a set of fourth bevel gears and two sets of third bevel gears to rotate synchronously. This, in turn, drives the lead screw and two sets of rotating rods to rotate synchronously, causing the stirring rod to stir the fermentation liquid. At the same time, the moving plate and scraper move up and down synchronously, also providing a certain stirring effect. After the reaction is completed, water and cleaning agent are added to the inside of the cylinder, and the drive motor is started, allowing the scraper to clean the inner wall of the cylinder, which meets the needs of the staff. Although this method can achieve a good cleaning effect, it greatly increases the complexity of the device in actual use, resulting in liquid residue in dead corners or joints, which poses certain safety hazards.

[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a fermentation device for producing lactic acid bacteria beverages, including: a tank body 10 with a cover 11 on top; a feed inlet 12 fixedly connected to the top of the cover 11; a stirrer 13 disposed on the cover 11; a discharge outlet 14 disposed on the outside of the tank body 10; a connecting seat 20 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover 11; a trough 21 formed at the bottom of the connecting seat 20; a sliding groove 22 formed on the outside of the connecting seat 20; and a rod 23 slidably connected within the sliding groove 22. Spring 24 is sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod 23, and the insertion rod 23 is connected to the connecting seat 20 through the spring 24; sealing gasket 25 is disposed in the groove 21; connecting seat 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank 10, and the top end of connecting seat 26 is inserted into the groove 21; slot 27 is opened on the outside of connecting seat 26, and one end of the insertion rod 23 is inserted into the slot 27; ring 30 is rotatably connected to the outside of connecting seat 20; push block 31 is fixedly connected to the outside of ring 30.

[0030] After installing the tank 10 in the designated position, place the cover 11, which is equipped with the stirrer 13, directly above the tank 10. Then, align the first connector 20 with the second connector 26, and insert the top of the second connector 26 into the first connector 20. When the top of the second connector 26 contacts the insertion rod 23, it first contacts the inclined surface at the front end of the insertion rod 23. Then, through the pushing force, the insertion rod 23 is pushed outward inside the slide groove 22, while the spring 24 is pulled. Until the top of the second connector 26 contacts the sealing gasket 25, the insertion rod 23 is still not aligned with the slot 27. At this point, the operator needs to press down on the cover 11 so that the squeezing force acts on the sealing gasket 25 through the second connector 26, causing the sealing gasket 25 to deform. Then, the second connector 26 continues to be inserted into the slot. After aligning the insertion rod 23 with the slot 27, the insertion rod 23 is inserted into the slot 27 by the rebound force of the spring 24, locking the connecting seat 20 and the connecting seat 26 to complete the installation. At this time, the material to be fermented is put into the tank 10 through the feed port 12, and the stirrer 13 is turned on to reduce sedimentation and stratification until the fermentation is completed. The fermented material is discharged through the discharge port 14 and the discharge port at the bottom of the tank 10. Then, the insertion rod 23 is pulled outward to slide out of the slot 27 again. After the locking of the connecting seat 20 is released, the cover 11 is pulled upward to detach the connecting seat 20 from the connecting seat 26, which facilitates the cleaning of the structure on the cover 11 and the inside of the tank 10.

[0031] Furthermore, by directly rotating the ring 30, multiple push blocks 31 can be driven to rotate around the center of the tank 10, thereby causing the multiple push blocks 31 to push multiple insert rods 23 outward to slide, thus improving disassembly efficiency.

[0032] Furthermore, the sealing gasket 25 is inserted into the groove 21, which facilitates the replacement of the sealing gasket 25.

[0033] Furthermore, the push block 31 is provided with an inclined surface, which facilitates the push block 31 to push the insertion rod 23 to slide outward. When the ring body 30 is rotated directly, the ring body 30 simultaneously drives multiple push blocks 31 to rotate around the center of the tank body 10. As a result, after the inclined surfaces on the multiple push blocks 31 come into contact with the insertion rod 23, the multiple insertion rods 23 are pushed outward by the action of the thrust, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, both the second connector 26 and the first connector 20 have rounded corners, and the second connector 26 is inserted into the first connector 20.

[0035] Furthermore, the connecting seat 20 has a hole 40, a limiting rod 41 is slidably connected inside the hole 40, and a cover 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting rod 41.

[0036] After installation, the cover 42 covers the insertion rod 23 and the connecting seat 20, providing protection. Conversely, pushing the cover 42 upwards causes the limiting rod 41 to slide upwards from the hole 40, exposing the insertion rod 23. Then, rotating the ring 30 allows for disassembly.

[0037] Furthermore, the limiting rod 41 is a round-headed rod to prevent the limiting rod 41 from detaching from the hole 40.

[0038] Furthermore, the height of the cover 42 is greater than the height of the connecting seat 20, so that the cover 42 can provide better coverage and protection for the connecting seat 20 and its structure.

[0039] Furthermore, the slide groove 22, the insertion rod 23, the spring 24, the sealing gasket 25, the slot 27, and the push block 31 are a group, and multiple groups are provided between the connecting seat 20 and the cover 42, so that multiple insertion rods 23 can work at the same time, improving stability while facilitating multiple push blocks 31 to push multiple insertion rods 23 outward to slide without affecting normal disassembly.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
