Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Dendrobium fermentation tank technology, and in particular to a natural Dendrobium fermentation device. Background Technology
[0002] The Dendrobium natural fermentation device is a specialized equipment for the natural fermentation of Dendrobium (a plant with medicinal value). By creating controllable environmental conditions and combining mechanical stirring and other functions, it provides a suitable environment for the interaction between Dendrobium and fermentation microorganisms, thereby improving fermentation efficiency and product quality.
[0003] While existing Dendrobium fermentation tanks facilitate the fermentation of Dendrobium, their stirring structure is integrated into the surface of the tank lid, and the lid and tank body are connected by a flange, requiring numerous bolts for fixation. This connection structure is not only cumbersome to disassemble and assemble, often difficult for a single person to complete, but also requires multiple people to work together, increasing manpower input and extending operation time. Moreover, each time the lid is disassembled or installed, numerous bolts must be repeatedly tightened, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. More importantly, due to the inconvenience of disassembly and assembly, the cleaning cycle of the tank body is forced to be extended, making it impossible to clean thoroughly in a timely manner. This allows residual fermentation material inside the tank to easily breed miscellaneous bacteria, thereby affecting the subsequent fermentation quality and reducing the product qualification rate.

[0013] Preferably, a first annular magnet is fixedly installed on the outer wall surface of the feed pipe, a strip plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall surface of the filter pipe, a vertical groove is formed on the surface of the strip plate, a U-shaped plate is slidably connected inside the vertical groove, a second annular magnet is attracted to the surface of the first annular magnet, and the end of the U-shaped plate away from the vertical groove is fixedly connected to the second annular magnet.
[0014] Preferably, a vertical plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the horizontal end of the U-shaped plate, and bolts are threadedly connected to the surface of the vertical plate. The surface of the strip plate is evenly provided with multiple threaded holes that match the bolts.
[0015] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: they directly filter the Dendrobium officinale raw materials entering the tank through the filter screen, removing debris and impurities, preventing impurities from affecting the uniformity of fermentation, eliminating the need for additional pretreatment equipment, simplifying the production process, ensuring a pure fermentation environment, and improving product quality; at the same time, with the adsorption force of the ring magnet and the locking action of the bolts, the filter tube can be quickly removed from the feed pipe, facilitating the washing or replacement of the filter screen, preventing filter screen blockage from affecting the feeding efficiency, and ensuring long-term stable filtration effect.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] In this invention, by setting up an assembly device, the initial positioning of the tank cover and the tank body is achieved through the use of the annular plate and the annular groove, the cooperation of the L-shaped insert plate and the slot, and the locking structure driven by the threaded rod. This eliminates the need to repeatedly tighten multiple bolts, allowing for single-person operation and significantly reducing assembly and disassembly time. It solves the problems of cumbersome assembly and disassembly of traditional flange connections that require multiple people to cooperate, and facilitates timely cleaning of the tank interior and stirring blades, shortening the cleaning cycle. At the same time, the reverse thread design of the threaded rod drives the insert rod to be inserted into the insertion hole synchronously. Combined with the tight fit between the L-shaped insert plate and the slot, it can effectively resist stirring vibration and internal tank pressure, ensuring a sealed connection between the tank cover and the tank body, preventing material leakage or the entry of contaminants during fermentation, and improving fermentation stability and product qualification rate.

[0028] Working Principle: When using this device, first check whether the support legs 4 of tank 1 are placed stably, whether the valve 6 on the discharge pipe 5 is closed, and whether the seal between the tank cover 7 and tank 1 is intact, ensuring that all components of the device are functioning properly. When feeding and filtering are required, first unscrew the plug 303 from the filter tube 301 to ensure the filter tube 301 is unobstructed. Then pour the mixture of Dendrobium officinale liquid and fermentation microorganisms into the filter tube 301. After the mixture is filtered through the filter screen 302 to remove debris and impurities, it enters the tank 1 through the feed pipe 11. After the raw materials are added, screw the plug 303 back into the filter tube 301 to seal the filter tube 301, preventing impurities from entering or materials from overflowing during fermentation. When the materials are added and fermentation and stirring are required, start the motor 8 on the top of the tank cover 7. The motor 8 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate through the coupling. The rotating rod 9 drives the stirring blades 10 distributed in a ring on its outer wall to rotate synchronously, stirring the tank 1. The Dendrobium mixture inside is stirred to ensure that the material and fermentation microorganisms are in full contact, promoting uniform fermentation. Throughout the fermentation process, the lid 7 is kept firmly sealed to the tank body 1 by the assembly device 2: the annular plate 203 is embedded in the annular groove 202 to form a preliminary seal, and the L-shaped insert plate 204 is inserted into the slot 206 of the assembly base 205. With the locking of the insert rod 209 and the insertion hole 210, the lid 7 is ensured not to loosen due to stirring vibration or internal pressure. When the fermentation is completed and subsequent processing and cleaning are required, the valve 6 is opened first, and the fermentation products are discharged through the discharge pipe 5 for subsequent processing. After the fermentation products are discharged, if it is necessary to clean the inside of the tank body 1 and the stirring blades 10, the rotating wheel 213 is rotated first. The rotating wheel 213 drives the threaded rod 212 to rotate. Since the threads on the surface of the threaded rod 212 are opposite to each other with the rotating wheel 213 as the center, the two movable plates 215 connected by the threads on their surfaces will move away from each other along the long groove 214.The movable plate 215 drives the sliding plate 208 to move synchronously within the groove 207 via the L-shaped connecting rod 216, causing the insert rod 209 to disengage from the insertion hole 210 of the L-shaped insert plate 204, releasing the restriction on the L-shaped insert plate 204. Then, the tank cover 7 moves upward, causing the annular plate 203 to be pulled out of the annular groove 202, and the L-shaped insert plate 204 to disengage from the slot 206, completing the separation of the tank cover 7 from the tank body 1. At this point, the interior of the tank body 1 and the stirring blades 10 can be thoroughly cleaned directly. Later, when the filter screen 302 becomes clogged and needs cleaning, first loosen the bolts 310 on the vertical plate 309, then... 10. Remove the U-shaped plate 307 from the threaded hole 311 of the strip plate 305, release its restriction, move the U-shaped plate 307 to slide along the vertical groove 306, causing the second annular magnet 308 to separate from the first annular magnet 304, releasing the adsorption and fixation on the filter tube 301. Then, pull the filter tube 301 out of the feed pipe 11, rinse the filter screen 302, and reinstall it in reverse order after cleaning. Through the above process, the device achieves convenient feeding, efficient stirring, quick disassembly and cleaning during the Dendrobium fermentation process, effectively improving fermentation efficiency and product quality.
