Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of jam food processing technology, and in particular to a fermentation device for jam food. Background Technology
[0002] Jam is a semi-solid food made from fresh fruit, sugars, and acidity regulators (such as lemon juice) as its core ingredients. It is produced through pretreatment, sugar staining and gelation, and boiling and concentration processes, combining the flavor of fruit with a gel-like texture. Fermented jam is a specialty jam made by anaerobic / aerobic fermentation of fruit using lactic acid bacteria or yeast. It combines the sweet texture of traditional jam with the unique flavor of fermented foods.
[0003] Fermented jams require fermentation equipment during production. Due to their high viscosity, fermented jams often remain stuck inside the equipment. However, existing fermentation equipment lacks a self-cleaning mechanism, which can easily lead to mixing of different types of jams during fermentation, significantly reducing fermentation stability.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This fermentation equipment for jam food injects jam raw materials and yeast into the fermentation tank through the feed pipe. Activating the drive assembly drives the stirring mechanism to rotate via the fixed plate, thus stirring and fermenting the jam. Gases generated during fermentation are discharged through a one-way exhaust valve, and the jam is discharged by opening the discharge pipe. Activating the spray mechanism draws and sprays clean water, which, in conjunction with the rotation of the fixed plate, rotates and washes the jam residue on the inner wall of the fermentation tank. Simultaneously, the rotation of the stirring mechanism drives the scraping assembly to scrape away residual jam with the clean water. This achieves the goal of automatically cleaning the jam residue inside the fermentation equipment, avoiding the problem of difficulty in cleaning jam residue inside the fermentation equipment, which prevents the fermentation of different types of jam, and greatly improves the flexibility of the fermentation equipment.

The surface of the fermentation tank 1 is provided with a drive assembly, which consists of a servo motor 14, a gear 15, a fixed cylinder 16 and a gear ring 17. The servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fermentation tank 1, the inner wall of the gear 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 14, the fixed cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the fixed plate 7, and the inner wall of the gear ring 17 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed cylinder 16, and the gear ring 17 meshes with the gear 15 to drive the spraying mechanism, the stirring mechanism and the scraping assembly to rotate, so as to facilitate automatic rotation spraying, stirring fermentation and automatic scraping, and improve cleaning efficiency. The bottom surface of the fixed plate 7 is provided with a stirring mechanism, and the inside of the fermentation tank 1 is provided with a scraping assembly.
[0022] Specifically, the stirring mechanism consists of a fixed shaft 18 and a stirring rod 19. The fixed shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the fixed plate 7, and the stirring rod 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed shaft 18.
