Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mulberry leaf tea production equipment, and in particular to a mulberry leaf aerobic-anaerobic alternating cycle fermentation device. Background Technology
[0002] Mulberry leaves are rich in GABA (a substance with significant blood pressure-lowering effects), containing 3-4 times more GABA than green tea. However, traditionally processed mulberry leaf tea contains only about 0.6 mg·g⁻¹ of GABA, limiting its blood pressure-lowering effect and hindering industry development. The key to solving this problem lies in enriching GABA, as GABA is synthesized in large quantities when plants encounter adverse conditions such as anaerobic environments and low temperatures. Therefore, by artificially controlling these adverse conditions, the GABA content in mulberry leaves can be effectively increased, thereby enhancing its blood pressure-lowering effect.

[0026] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2The mulberry leaf aerobic-anaerobic alternating cyclic fermentation device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a shell 100; a storage assembly 200 disposed inside the shell 100, the central axis of the storage assembly 200 coinciding with the central axis of the shell 100, and at least a portion of the storage assembly 200 rotating around the central axis; a gas mixing assembly 300 disposed at the inner top of the shell 100, the gas mixing assembly 300 being used to supply oxygen and / or nitrogen into the shell 100 to cyclically regulate the oxygen concentration inside the shell 100; a water supply assembly 400 disposed on the inner side of the shell 100, the water supply assembly 400 being used to supply water vapor into the shell 100 to control the humidity inside the shell 100; and a slag collection assembly 500 disposed at the bottom of the storage assembly 200, and at least a portion of the slag collection assembly 500 sliding along the width direction of the shell 100.
[0027] Specifically, the shell 100 can be constructed into a rectangular or cylindrical structure, and the construction material of the shell 100 can be a metallic material, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and high hardness, which can effectively improve the overall strength of the shell 100, thereby significantly extending the service life of the fermentation device. The shell 100 can be provided with a receiving cavity 110, which can be constructed into a cylindrical cavity or a rectangular cavity; this embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the specific form.
[0028] The storage assembly 200 can be installed inside the receiving cavity 110. The central axis of the storage assembly 200 can coincide with the central axis of the housing 100. The bottom of the storage assembly 200 can be movably connected to the housing 100. With this configuration, the storage assembly 200 can rotate relative to the housing 100 around its central axis. The direction of the central axis of the housing 100 can be... Figure 1 The direction indicated by X. Mulberry leaves can be placed inside the storage component 200. By rotating the storage component 200, the mulberry leaves can be heated and ventilated evenly during the fermentation process, thereby ensuring the efficiency of mulberry leaf fermentation and the quality of the finished mulberry leaf product.
[0029] The gas mixing assembly 300 can be disposed on the top of the housing 100 and communicate with the receiving cavity 110 inside the housing 100. The gas mixing assembly 300 can be connected to a nitrogen and oxygen supply device, thereby supplying nitrogen, oxygen, or a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen into the receiving cavity 110 to regulate the oxygen concentration inside the receiving cavity 110. When mulberry leaf fermentation requires an anaerobic environment, the gas mixing assembly 300 can supply a large amount of nitrogen into the receiving cavity 110 to ensure a low oxygen content inside the receiving cavity 110; when mulberry leaf fermentation requires an aerobic environment, the gas mixing assembly 300 can supply a large amount of oxygen into the receiving cavity 110 to ensure a sufficient oxygen content inside the receiving cavity 110.
[0030] The gas mixing component 300 can adjust the oxygen content in the containment chamber 110 in real time, ensuring the alternation of aerobic and anaerobic environments, and providing a good fermentation environment for increasing GABA in mulberry leaves.
[0031] The water supply component 400 can be fixedly installed on the inner side of the housing 100. The water supply component 400 can be connected to an external water source, thereby providing water vapor to the housing cavity 110, thereby regulating the humidity inside the housing cavity 110, ensuring that the humidity inside the housing cavity 110 is at a suitable level for mulberry leaf fermentation, and thus ensuring high efficiency and high quality of mulberry leaf fermentation.
[0032] The slag collection assembly 500 can be disposed between the bottom of the storage assembly 200 and the bottom of the receiving cavity 110. Some components of the slag collection assembly 500 can be movably connected to the housing 100 and slide along the width direction of the housing 100. The width direction of the housing 100 can be... Figure 2 The direction indicated by Y in the middle. With this configuration, the slag collection component 500 can collect impurities and residues generated during the fermentation of mulberry leaves, reducing interference with the stability of the fermentation environment inside the containment chamber 110 and greatly improving the practicality of the fermentation device.
[0033] According to the mulberry leaf aerobic-anaerobic alternating cycle fermentation device provided in this embodiment of the invention, by setting up a placement component 200, mulberry leaves can be placed inside the placement component 200. The rotation of the placement component 200 ensures that the mulberry leaves are evenly heated and ventilated during the fermentation process, thereby ensuring the efficiency of mulberry leaf fermentation and the quality of the finished mulberry leaf product. By setting up a gas mixing component 300, the oxygen content in the containing cavity 110 can be adjusted in real time to ensure the alternation of aerobic and anaerobic environments, providing a good fermentation environment for increasing GABA in mulberry leaves. By setting up a water supply component 400, the humidity inside the containing cavity 110 can be adjusted to ensure that the humidity inside the containing cavity 110 is at a suitable level for mulberry leaf fermentation, thereby ensuring high efficiency and high quality of mulberry leaf fermentation. By setting up a slag collection component 500, impurities and residues generated during the mulberry leaf fermentation process can be collected, reducing interference with the stability of the fermentation environment inside the containing cavity 110 and greatly improving the practicality of the fermentation device.
[0034] Please continue reading Figures 1-2 As shown, the storage assembly 200 includes: a rotating frame 210, with a rotating support bearing 220 at the bottom of the rotating frame 210, and multiple slots 211 evenly distributed along the axial direction of the housing 100 on the inner side of the rotating frame 210; a driving member 230, which is disposed at the bottom of the rotating frame 210 and is connected to the rotating support bearing 220 for driving the rotating frame 210 to rotate; and a tray 240, which is detachably connected to the rotating frame 210 through the slots 211, and is used to place mulberry leaves.
[0035] Specifically, the rotating frame 210 can be constructed as an irregular three-dimensional structure with a hollow interior. The rotating frame 210 can be constructed of metal, such as stainless steel, which has the advantages of high strength and corrosion resistance, thus significantly improving the load-bearing capacity and service life of the rotating frame 210. A rotating support bearing 220 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating frame 210 via bolts. The outer ring of the rotating support bearing 220 has a drive wheel 260 that meshes with it. This configuration ensures smooth power transmission without eccentric wobbling, significantly improving the stability of the rotating frame 210 during rotation. A connecting plate 250 can be provided at the bottom of the rotating support bearing 220. The connecting plate 250 can be constructed to match the shape of the receiving cavity 110 and can be fixedly connected to the housing 100 via welding or integral molding. The inner ring of the rotating support bearing 220 can be fixedly connected to the connecting plate 250 via bolts, thereby significantly improving the support and stability of the rotating frame 210. An opening (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the location corresponding to the connecting plate 250 and the rotating frame 210, so that impurities during the mulberry leaf fermentation process can leak into the slag collection assembly 500 in the following embodiment through the opening.
[0036] The inner sidewall of the rotating frame 210 can be evenly provided with multiple slots 211. Along the axial direction of the housing 100, the slots 211 can be evenly distributed on the inner sidewall of the rotating frame 210. The slots 211 can provide stable support for the tray 240 in the following embodiments, ensuring that the tray 240 can be freely removed or placed inside the rotating frame 210, while ensuring the stability of the tray 240 when the rotating frame 210 rotates, and preventing mulberry leaves from spilling out.
[0037] The drive component 230 can be configured as a motor. The output shaft of the drive component 230 can be fixedly connected to the drive wheel 260 via a coaxial connection, thereby driving the drive wheel 260 to rotate. The rotation of the drive wheel 260 drives the rotary support bearing 220 to rotate, thereby driving the rotary frame 210 to rotate. The fixing part of the drive component 230 can be fixedly installed to the bottom of the receiving cavity 110 via a threaded connection, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the drive component 230 during operation.
[0038] The tray 240 can be constructed as a circular shallow tray or a polygonal shallow tray. It is important to note that the structure of the tray 240 should match the internal hollow shape of the rotating frame 210 to ensure that the tray 240 can be placed inside the rotating frame 210. The surface of the tray 240 can have multiple evenly distributed ventilation holes (not shown in the figure), which ensures that the mulberry leaves are effectively supported during fermentation while maximizing ventilation and moisture permeability, significantly improving the efficiency of mulberry leaf fermentation.
[0039] The number of trays 240 can be multiple. Users can fill the trays 240 with mulberry leaves and insert them into the slots 211 of the rotating frame 210 by means of plugging. Multiple trays 240 can be stacked one on top of the other with a certain gap. This gap can form a ventilation channel, so that the mixed gas and water vapor can pass evenly through the mulberry leaves of each layer of trays 240, ensuring high efficiency of mulberry leaf fermentation.
[0040] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the gas mixing assembly 300 includes: a gas mixing chamber 310 disposed on the top of the housing 100; a vacuum pump 320 disposed on one side of the gas mixing chamber 310 and connected to the gas mixing chamber 310; an inlet pipe 330, one end of which is connected to the gas mixing chamber 310 and the other end of which is connected to the interior of the housing 100; and a solenoid valve (not shown in the figure), disposed at one end of the inlet pipe 330, which is used to control the opening and closing of the inlet pipe 330.
[0041] Specifically, the gas mixing chamber 310 can be constructed as a hollow rectangular sealed structure. One end of the gas mixing chamber 310 can be connected to an external gas source via a gas pipe. The external gas source can be a nitrogen and oxygen supply device, thereby supplying nitrogen, oxygen, or a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen into the gas mixing chamber 310. The gas mixing chamber 310 can be fixedly installed on the top of the housing 100 by bolt connection. The other end of the gas mixing chamber 310 can be connected to the inside of the housing 100 via an air inlet pipe 330, thereby supplying gas into the housing 100.
[0042] The vacuum pump 320 can be an oil-free dry vacuum pump to prevent oil contamination of the fermentation environment inside the containment chamber 110. The vacuum pump 320 can be fixedly installed on the top of the housing 100 by bolt connection, and the vacuum pump 320 can be connected to the gas mixing chamber 310 through a hose. With this configuration, when it is necessary to change the aerobic or anaerobic environment inside the containment chamber 110, the existing gas in the containment chamber 110 can be extracted by the vacuum pump 320, thereby achieving rapid and complete gas replacement.
[0043] It is important to note that the pumping speed and ultimate vacuum of the vacuum pump 320 must be matched with the volume of the fermenter to ensure that the required vacuum level can be reached within a reasonable time.
[0044] Furthermore, the intake pipe 330 can have multiple branches, and the outlets of the branches can be respectively located on the periphery of the receiving cavity 110 to ensure uniform gas delivery. During the switching between anaerobic and aerobic environments, the multiple branches of the intake pipe 330 can ensure that the receiving cavity 110 is rapidly filled with nitrogen or oxygen.
[0045] The solenoid valve can be installed between the air inlet pipe 330 and the gas mixing chamber 310 via a threaded connection or a flange connection. The solenoid valve can be electrically connected to the control panel 900 in the following embodiment via a wired connection to receive electrical signals from the control panel 900, and quickly and securely open or close the air inlet pipe 330 to ensure the safety of the gas mixing assembly 300.

[0047] Specifically, the slag collection component 510 can be constructed as a rectangular shallow dish or a circular shallow dish, and the shape of the slag collection component 510 should match the shape of the receiving cavity 110. The slag collection component 510 can be set opposite to the bottom of the base plate, and a water collection port 511 can be opened on one side of the slag collection component 510. With this configuration, excess liquid from fermentation inside the receiving cavity 110 can flow into the external environment through the water collection port 511, ensuring the humidity environment inside the receiving cavity 110 and guaranteeing a stable fermentation environment for the mulberry leaves.
[0048] The bottom of the guide rail 520 can be fixedly installed to the housing 100 by bolt connection, and the sliding part of the guide rail 520 can be fixedly installed to the slag collection component 510 by bolt connection. With this configuration, the slag collection component 510 can slide freely in the extension direction of the guide rail 520, which is consistent with the width direction of the housing 100. After the mulberry leaf fermentation is complete, the user can pull out the slag collection component 510 to clean impurities and residues. After cleaning, the slag collection component 510 can be pushed back to its initial position, greatly improving the ease of cleaning the fermentation device.

[0051] Furthermore, the water inlet 420 can be located at the bottom of the receiving cavity 110 and connected to the atomizer 410 via a water supply pipe. The water inlet 420 can be connected to an external water source, thereby providing water to the atomizer 410 and ensuring the stable operation of the atomizer 410.
[0052] The drain outlet 430 can be opened at the bottom of the receiving cavity 110. The drain outlet 430 should be set in a position corresponding to the water collection port 511. This makes it easy for the wastewater inside the receiving cavity 110 to flow through the water collection port 511 to the drain outlet 430, and then be discharged from the drain outlet 430 to the external environment.

[0060] Furthermore, the sealing cap can be hinged to the end of the vent 800 away from the housing 100. The sealing cap is used to seal the vent 800, so that the inside of the receiving cavity 110 is in a sealed environment, thereby ensuring that the fermentation of mulberry leaves is not affected by the external environment and significantly improving the quality of mulberry leaf fermentation.
[0061] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, in some examples of this utility model, the fermentation device further includes: a control panel 900, which is disposed outside the housing 100 and is communicatively connected to the detection component 700. The control panel 900 is electrically connected to the heater 600 and the atomizer 410 respectively.
[0062] Specifically, the control panel 900 can be fixedly installed on the top of the housing 100 via a threaded connection. The heater 600 and atomizer 410 can be connected to the control panel 900 via a wired connection. This configuration allows for setting parameters such as temperature, humidity, ozone concentration, and oxygen concentration on the control panel 900, thus ensuring the fermentation of the mulberry leaf tea within the containment chamber 110. The first detection element 710 transmits oxygen and nitrogen concentration data from the containment chamber 110 to the control panel 900; the second detection element 720 transmits temperature data from the containment chamber 110 to the control panel 900; the third detection element 730 transmits humidity data from the containment chamber 110 to the control panel 900; and the fourth detection element 740 transmits vacuum data from the containment chamber 110 to the control panel 900. This allows for viewing various data related to the fermentation of the mulberry leaf tea within the containment chamber 110 on the control panel 900 and making timely adjustments. This configuration significantly improves the quality of the finished mulberry leaf tea product.
[0063] Please continue reading Figure 1 As shown, in some examples of this utility model, the fermentation device further includes: a caster wheel 1000, which is disposed at the bottom of the housing 100 and is used to move the fermentation device.
[0064] Specifically, the casters 1000 can be fixedly installed on the bottom of the housing 100 by means of threaded connection or welding, which facilitates the free movement of the housing 100 by the casters 1000. The casters 1000 can be equipped with a braking device (not shown in the figure). When the fermentation device moves to a fixed position, the user can brake the fermentation device by using the braking device of the casters 1000, thereby ensuring the stability of the fermentation device and preventing the fermentation device from sliding or moving during operation.
