Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a raw material fermentation device for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Food processing raw material fermentation equipment is mainly used to ferment raw materials such as grains, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products under specific controlled environments to produce yogurt, wine, sauces, soy products, fermented beverages, etc. Its basic goal is to provide a controllable, uniform, continuous or intermittent fermentation environment to ensure that the raw materials are fully fermented under appropriate temperature, humidity, pH, oxygen concentration and other conditions.

[0003] First, the traditional method of removing the cover from the device is time-consuming, which increases the difficulty of cleaning. Furthermore, if the cover is a fixed component on the device, it may lead to incomplete cleaning, easy accumulation of residue, and cross-contamination.

[0004] Secondly, if the material is not stirred, it will form layers, clumps, or crusts during fermentation, leading to localized spoilage. In addition, the microbial metabolic efficiency will be low, and the fermentation cycle will be prolonged.

[0005] Finally, repairing or replacing the exhaust valve requires stopping the machine, depressurizing, and disassembling, which extends the production cycle. If the valve is blocked and not replaced in time, it can easily cause overpressure in the tank or fermentation failure. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5A food processing raw material fermentation device includes a main body 1, a closing mechanism, a stirring mechanism, and an auxiliary mechanism. The closing mechanism includes a closing cover 2 and a connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 3 is mounted on the main body 1 and is rotatably connected to the main body 1 and cooperates with the closing cover 2. A roller 4 is mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate 3 and is slidably connected to the main body 1. A fixing bolt 5 is mounted on the connecting plate 3 and is cooperates with both the connecting plate 3 and the main body 1. The stirring mechanism includes a motor 6 and a stirring shaft 7. The motor 6 is fixedly mounted on the closing cover 2 and the stirring shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the motor 6. A support frame 8 is provided inside the main body 1 and is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, the closing mechanism includes a closing cover 2 and a connecting plate 3. In use, the closing cover 2 can be installed on the main body 1. At this time, the limiting hole 15 on the mating plate 14 is connected with the limiting block 13. The connecting plate 3 installed on the main body 1 can be rotated so that the first internal thread 17 on the connecting plate 3 is connected with the first external thread 16 on the closing cover 2, thus fixing the closing cover 2. The roller 4 on the connecting plate 3 slides in the sliding groove 18 of the main body 1. Then, a fixing bolt 5 can be installed on the connecting plate 3. The fixing bolt 5 is connected with the first positioning hole 19 of the main body 1, thus fixing the position of the connecting plate 3, thereby fixing the position of the closing cover 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism includes a motor 6 and a stirring shaft 7. When in use, when the closed cover 2 is installed, the stirring shaft 7 is directly inserted into the support frame 8. At this time, the motor 6 drives the stirring shaft 7 to rotate in the support frame 8. Then, the stirring blades 20 on the stirring shaft 7 directly stir the material inside the main body 1, so that the material can be fully tumbled inside the main body 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, the auxiliary mechanism includes a mounting frame 9 and an exhaust device 10. During use, material can be fed into the main body 1. The feed pipe 23 is connected to an external material conveying pipe. The second control valve 24 is opened to allow material to enter the main body 1. The second control valve 24 is then closed. If excessive gas is generated during fermentation inside the main body 1, the third control valve 25 is opened to allow the exhaust gas to be discharged through the exhaust device 10. However, the exhaust device 10 is prone to blockage and needs replacement. During replacement, the mounting frame 9 is installed on the main body 1, with the second external thread 28 on the mounting frame 9 engaging with the second internal thread 27 of the main body 1. During installation, the positioning frame 11 is pulled to slide on the main body 1, compressing the spring 12. After installation, the positioning frame 11 is released, engaging with the second positioning hole 29 to fix its position. After fermentation, the first control valve 22 is opened to allow material to be discharged through the discharge pipe 21.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] In summary, during use, the closing cover 2 must first be installed onto the main body 1. When the closing cover 2 is installed onto the main body 1, the limiting hole 15 on the mating plate 14 engages with the limiting block 13. The connecting plate 3, installed on the main body 1, can then be rotated, causing the first internal thread 17 on the connecting plate 3 to engage with the first external thread 16 on the closing cover 2, thus fixing the closing cover 2. The roller 4 on the connecting plate 3 slides in the sliding groove 18 of the main body 1. Then, fixing bolts 5 can be installed on the connecting plate 3, engaging with the first positioning hole 19 of the main body 1, thus fixing the position of the connecting plate 3 and consequently fixing the position of the closing cover 2. When installing the closing cover 2, the stirring shaft 7 is directly inserted into the support frame 8. The motor 6 drives the stirring shaft 7 to rotate within the support frame 8. The agitator blades 20 on the stirring shaft 7 directly agitate the material inside the main body 1, allowing the material to tumble fully within the main body 1. After the closing cover 2 is fixed in position and installed, the main body 1 can be rotated. Material is fed into the body 1. At this time, the feed pipe 23 is connected to the external material conveying pipe. The second control valve 24 is opened to allow the material to enter the body 1. Then the second control valve 24 is closed. When too much gas is generated during the fermentation process inside the body 1, it needs to be discharged. At this time, the third control valve 25 is opened to allow the exhaust gas to be discharged through the exhaust device 10. However, the exhaust device 10 is prone to blockage in the device and needs to be replaced. When replacing it, the mounting bracket 9 can be installed on the body 1, so that the second external thread 28 on the mounting bracket 9 is engaged with the second internal thread 27 of the body 1. During installation, the positioning bracket 11 needs to be pulled directly so that the positioning bracket 11 can slide on the body 1 and compress the spring 12. After the mounting bracket 9 is installed, the positioning bracket 11 is released so that the positioning bracket 11 is engaged with the second positioning hole 29, thereby fixing the position of the mounting bracket 9. When the material fermentation is complete, the first control valve 22 can be opened to allow the material to be discharged through the discharge pipe 21.

[0036] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
