Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soybean processing technology, specifically to a feeding structure for solid-state fermentation of soybean protein powder that facilitates feeding. Background Technology
[0002] Solid-state fermentation of soybean protein powder is a technology that uses microorganisms to biotransform soybean protein raw materials in a low-moisture solid substrate. The process uses soybeans or their processing by-products as a substrate, and through the metabolic activities of microorganisms such as molds, bacteria or yeasts, macromolecular proteins are broken down into small molecule peptides and amino acids, while simultaneously synthesizing active ingredients such as antioxidants, vitamins and functional enzymes.
[0003] In the solid-state fermentation of soybean protein powder, a feeding structure is required to transport the materials. Existing feeding structures usually use conveyor belts to transport and feed materials. However, during the feeding process, it is impossible to pre-crush and screen the sticky materials. Soybean protein raw materials often contain sticky lumps or fiber bundles. If they are not crushed, they will form a physical barrier, which will prevent the proteases, cellulases, etc. secreted by microorganisms from fully contacting the substrate. In addition, the materials tend to accumulate on the conveyor belt during transportation, which will affect the uniformity of subsequent material feeding.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new feeding structure for solid-state fermentation of soybean protein powder that facilitates feeding and solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

The raw material is screened and filtered through the screening screen 14 to avoid the problem of large particles affecting the uniformity of fermentation. A door is installed on one side of the feeding hopper 11 to facilitate the removal and disassembly of the screening screen 14 from the mounting frame 13.
[0029] The conveying assembly 4 includes two sets of drive wheels 41 disposed inside the base 1. One end of each drive wheel 41 is fixed with a second motor 42, and the outer side of the drive wheel 41 is connected to a conveyor belt 43.
[0030] The second motor 42 can drive the transmission wheel 41 to rotate, and the transmission wheel 41 realizes the cyclic transmission of the conveyor belt 43, thereby achieving the effect of conveying and feeding materials. Both the conveyor belt 43 and the baffle 5 are made of silicone.
[0031] Multiple sets of support seats 15 are fixed on the outer side of the base 1, and the inner wall of the support seat 15 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the transmission wheel 41. The inner wall of the guide frame 3 is fixed with a scraper 16 for leveling the material.
[0032] The support seat 15 supports the drive wheel 41, improving its stability. The scraper 16 flattens the material layer, optimizing the fermentation effect.
[0033] A third motor 17 is fixed on one side of the flow guide 3. The output end of the third motor 17 passes through the inner wall of the flow guide 3 and is fixed to one end of the rotating rod 6. A first connecting plate 18 is fixed on the outer side of the rotating rod 6. A second connecting plate 19 is fixed on the outer side of both the first mounting plate 7 and the second mounting plate 8. The first connecting plate 18 and the second connecting plate 19 are fixed by bolts.
[0034] The first connecting plate 18 and the second connecting plate 19 can be installed with bolts, so that the first mounting plate 7 or the second mounting plate 8 can be installed on the rotating rod 6. The rotating rod 6 can be driven to rotate by the third motor 17. When conveying materials, the second mounting plate 8 is installed so that the drive block 10 can break up the accumulated materials during conveying. After the materials are conveyed, the first mounting plate 7 is installed so that the brush 9 can clean the conveyor belt 43 after the materials are conveyed.
[0035] The inner wall of the flow guide 3 is fixed with multiple flow plates 20, and the top of the flow guide 3 is fixed with a support frame 21, and the top of the support frame 21 is fixed with the bottom of the feed hopper 11.
[0036] The material entering the feed hopper 11 is diverted by the diversion plate 20 to avoid material accumulation and improve the uniformity of material conveying and feeding.
[0037] A guide plate 22 is fixed to the inner wall of the feed hopper 11, and a push rod 23 is fixed to the outer side of the drive rod 122.
[0038] The material entering the feed hopper 11 can be guided to the crushing roller 123 by the guide plate 22 for crushing and dispersing.
[0039] A fixing plate 24 is fixed to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 11. Multiple sets of sliding rods 25 are fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame 13. The outer side of the sliding rod 25 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing plate 24. A spring 26 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 25, and the spring 26 is fixed between the mounting frame 13 and the fixing plate 24.
[0040] The drive rod 122 drives the push rod 23 to rotate. When the push rod 23 contacts the mounting frame 13, it pushes the mounting frame 13 downward, causing the slide rod 25 to slide inside the fixed plate 24, which causes the spring 26 to contract. The drive rod 122 continues to rotate, and the spring 26 generates elastic force to drive the mounting frame 13 to return to its original position. Through the continuous rotation of the drive rod 122, the mounting frame 13 moves up and down repeatedly, improving the screening effect of the screening screen 14 on the material.
[0041] Working principle: After the equipment is started, the second motor 42 drives the transmission wheel 41 to rotate, which drives the conveyor belt 43 to circulate and form the material conveying base. Soybean protein raw material is poured into the feed hopper 11. The guide plate 22 guides the material to the crushing roller 123. At the same time, the first motor 121 drives the drive rod 122 and the crushing roller 123 to rotate at high speed, crushing the lumps, adhesions and large particles in the raw material to ensure uniform particle size. The crushed material falls onto the screening screen 14. The push rod 23 on the outside of the drive rod 122 periodically squeezes the mounting frame 13 as it rotates. Through the sliding rod 25, it slides in the fixed plate 24 to compress the spring 26, forming up and down reciprocating vibration, causing the screening screen 14 to move. The material is screened, with fine, qualified particles falling through the mesh while larger particles are retained. The screened material is then evenly dispersed by the diversion plate 20 of the guide frame 3 to avoid local accumulation, and then falls onto the surface of the conveyor belt 43. During the conveying process, the third motor 17 drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the driving block 10 on the second mounting plate 8 to continuously beat the material layer, breaking up potential accumulations and ensuring uniform thickness. At the same time, the baffle 5 restricts material spillage, and the scraper 16 further flattens the material surface to optimize subsequent fermentation conditions. After the conveying is completed, the second mounting plate 8 is removed by bolts and replaced with the first mounting plate 7. The rotating rod 6 drives the brush 9 to clean the residual material on the surface of the conveyor belt 43 to prevent cross-contamination.
