Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dairy fermentation tank technology, and in particular to a microbial inoculation device for dairy fermentation tanks. Background Technology

[0002] A fermentation tank is an industrial device used for microbial fermentation. Its main body is typically a cylindrical structure made of stainless steel. Dairy fermentation tanks are core equipment in the production of fermented dairy products such as yogurt, cheese, and fermented milk beverages. Their function is to provide a stable and controllable environment for the reproduction and metabolism of microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria and thermophilic streptococci. During the fermentation process, inoculants are added periodically according to the fermentation requirements.

[0003] In existing dairy product fermentation processes, adding microbial cultures to the fermentation tank often requires opening the tank. However, opening the tank exposes the interior to outside air, allowing external bacteria to enter and affect the fermentation and quality of the dairy products. Furthermore, opening the tank can cause foreign objects to fall inside, contaminating the dairy products and leading to production failure. Therefore, a microbial culture addition device for dairy product fermentation tanks is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a microbial inoculum addition device for dairy fermentation tanks, which solves the aforementioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A microbial inoculum addition device for a dairy fermentation tank includes a fermentation tank body, a tank sealing cover installed on the top of the fermentation tank body, an addition box fixedly installed on the top of the tank sealing cover, an internal cavity opened in the addition box, a material discharge hole opened at the bottom of the internal cavity, an addition hole opened at the top of the internal cavity, a sterilization component disposed inside the addition box, a push plate mounted on the addition box via a push-reset component, a rotating baffle rotatably mounted inside the internal cavity, the rotating baffle blocking and separating the internal cavity, and a control panel disposed on the side of the addition box.

[0006] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the internal cavity, and a compression spring is fixedly installed between the fixing block and the rotating baffle.

[0007] Preferably, a rubber sealing block is fixedly installed on the side wall of the material discharge hole, the top of the rubber sealing block is an arc-shaped surface, and the rotating baffle contacts the rubber sealing block.

[0008] Preferably, a push rod is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate, and the push rod is adapted to the rotating baffle.

[0009] Preferably, the push reset assembly includes a push rod fixedly installed on the side of the push plate, one end of the push rod extending outside the add-in box, a pressing block fixedly installed on one end of the push rod, and a reset spring fixedly installed between the pressing block and the side of the add-in box.

[0010] Preferably, the sterilization component includes a side slot formed on the inner wall of the internal cavity, and an ultraviolet germicidal lamp is installed in the side slot.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the addition box is fitted with a top sealing cap, and the bottom of the fermenter body is provided with multiple support legs.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the dairy fermentation tank microbial culture addition device is equipped with a sterilization component. When adding microbial culture, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp is first turned on to sterilize and disinfect the internal cavity of the addition box to ensure that the inside is in a sterile state. Then, the top sealing cover is quickly opened and the microbial culture to be added is placed in the internal cavity. The top sealing cover is relatively small, so it is not easy to contaminate the fermentation tank body when adding microbial culture. The push-reset component is designed so that when the pressing block moves, it pushes the falling bacteria to one side. As it moves, the rotating baffle is pushed open, and the bacteria fall into the fermenter body, thus adding bacteria. After adding, the rotating baffle is in a vertical position, with its bottom in contact with the rubber sealing block, achieving a relatively sealed effect. This prevents bacteria from entering during addition and ensures the normal fermentation of the fermenter body. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Example: Refer to Figure 1-4 A fermentation tank inoculum addition device for dairy products includes a fermentation tank body 1, a tank sealing cover 2 installed on the top of the fermentation tank body 1, the tank sealing cover 2 always covering the fermentation tank body 1 during the fermentation process, an addition box 4 fixedly installed on the top of the tank sealing cover 2, an internal cavity 5 opened in the addition box 4, a material discharge hole 6 opened at the bottom of the internal cavity 5, an addition hole 7 opened at the top of the internal cavity 5, a sterilization component is provided in the addition box 4, a push plate 9 is installed on the addition box 4 by pushing and resetting component, a rotating baffle 14 is rotatably installed in the internal cavity 5, the rotating baffle 14 blocks and separates the internal cavity 5, and a control panel 21 is provided on the side of the addition box 4.

[0017] Furthermore, the sterilization component includes a side slot 19 on the inner wall of the internal cavity 5, and an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 is installed in the side slot 19. When adding bacteria, the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 is first turned on by the control panel 21 to sterilize the internal cavity 5 in the addition box 4 to ensure that the inside is in a sterile state. Normally, it takes about half an hour of irradiation for sterilization. The top of the addition box 4 is equipped with a top sealing cover 8, and the bottom of the fermentation tank body 1 is provided with multiple support legs 3. Open the top sealing cover 8, place the bacteria to be added into the internal cavity 5, and close the top sealing cover 8 quickly after placement. The top sealing cover 8 is relatively small and does not directly connect with the fermentation tank body 1 after opening, so it is not easy to contaminate the fermentation tank body 1 when adding bacteria.

[0018] Furthermore, a fixing block 15 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the internal cavity 5. A compression spring 16 is fixedly installed between the fixing block 15 and the rotating baffle 14. A push rod 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the push plate 9.

A reset spring 12 is fixedly installed between the pressing block 11 and the side of the addition box 4 to push the pressing block 11 to move, thereby driving the push plate 9 to move. After the push plate 9 moves, it drives the push rod 13 to move. After the push plate 9 moves, it will push the falling bacteria to one side. With continuous movement, the push rod 13 will contact and squeeze the rotating baffle 14. The rotating baffle 14 will open. With continued pushing, the bacteria will fall after being above the discharge hole 6, thus realizing the function of adding bacteria.

[0019] Furthermore, a rubber sealing block 17 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the material discharge hole 6. The top of the rubber sealing block 17 is an arc-shaped surface 18. The rotating baffle 14 contacts the rubber sealing block 17. After the addition is completed, the push plate 9 returns to its original position, and the rotating baffle 14 will also be reset under the pushing action of the compression spring 16. The rotating baffle 14 is in a vertical state, and its bottom contacts the rubber sealing block 17, achieving a relatively sealed effect. It is not easy for bacteria to enter during addition, thus ensuring the normal fermentation of the fermenter body 1.

[0020] In use: When fermenting dairy products, it is necessary to add bacteria to the fermentation tank body 1. First, turn on the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 20 to sterilize the internal cavity 5 of the addition box 4. Then, quickly open the top sealing cover 8 to add the required bacteria. Push the pressing block 11 to move the push plate 9, which will push the falling bacteria to one side. As it moves, the top rod 13 will push the rotating baffle 14, which will open. The bacteria will fall after being above the discharge hole 6, thus achieving the purpose of adding bacteria. After adding, the rotating baffle 14 will also be reset under the pushing action of the compression spring 16. The rotating baffle 14 is in a vertical state, and the bottom is in contact with the rubber sealing block 17 to achieve a relatively sealed effect. It is not easy for bacteria to enter during addition, ensuring the normal fermentation of the fermentation tank body 1. It is convenient to use.
