[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0013] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0014] In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6 A detachable coffee fermentation barrel stirring device includes a fermentation barrel 1 and a U-shaped base frame 2, and also includes a fixing mechanism 3, a multi-stage material transfer and storage mechanism 4 and a gas delivery and uniform stirring mechanism 5; the U-shaped base frame 2 is installed inside the fermentation barrel 1; and the upper left and right sides of the U-shaped base frame 2 are symmetrically equipped with fixing mechanisms 3 for fixing the U-shaped base frame 2 to the fermentation barrel 1 to achieve a detachable connection. A multi-stage material transfer and storage mechanism 4 is installed on the U-shaped base frame 2 for the orderly transfer of coffee raw materials in stages to achieve continuous fermentation operation; like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-stage material transfer and storage mechanism 4 is composed of multiple secondary material storage components, and the secondary material storage components are linearly and evenly distributed along the height direction on the U-shaped base frame 2. The U-shaped base frame 2 is equipped with an air-feeding and uniform stirring mechanism 5 for stirring the coffee raw materials in the secondary storage assembly; The gas delivery and uniform stirring mechanism 5 includes multiple stirring components; a main gas delivery channel 51 is opened on the right side of the U-shaped base frame 2; an air pipe is fixedly installed on the main gas delivery channel 51; the air pipe is connected to an external air pump; the stirring components are linearly and evenly distributed on the U-shaped base frame 2; and the stirring components correspond one-to-one with the secondary storage components; and the stirring components are connected to the secondary storage components. Among them, the discharge position of the lowest set of secondary storage components is set as the maximum storage position of coffee raw materials in fermentation tank 1; In this invention, the U-shaped base frame 2 is fixed inside the fermentation tank 1 by the fixing mechanism 3; then the coffee raw material is added into the uppermost secondary storage component; and the upper end of the fermentation tank 1 is sealed with a sealing cloth. Subsequently, the stirring component corresponding to the uppermost secondary storage component can stir the coffee raw materials in the secondary storage component. During the stirring process, oxygen enters the stirring component through the main gas supply channel 51, so that the coffee raw materials in each area of ​​the secondary storage component can be fully contacted with oxygen while being stirred, thereby improving the fermentation rate and ensuring the fermentation effect. After the first round of fermentation is completed, the topmost stirring component stops working, and the topmost secondary storage component discharges the coffee raw material after the first round of fermentation downwards into the next layer of secondary storage component; then the stirring component of the next layer performs a further fermentation process on the coffee raw material that has completed the first round of fermentation. The process is then repeated until the coffee raw materials have completed the continuous fermentation process; finally, the fermented coffee raw materials are discharged into the fermentation tank 1 through the lowest secondary storage component. When the coffee raw material stored in fermentation tank 1 reaches the maximum storage position of fermentation tank 1, the sealing cloth at the top of fermentation tank 1 is removed, and then the fixing mechanism 3 releases the fixing effect between the U-shaped base frame 2 and fermentation tank 1. Then, the U-shaped base frame 2 is removed, and the coffee raw material in fermentation tank 1 is removed. Through the cooperation of multiple secondary storage components, the coffee raw material is transferred step by step, thereby achieving continuous fermentation and ensuring the original flavor of the coffee.

[0015] like Figure 6 As shown, the fixing mechanism 3 includes a clamping plate 31, a lead screw 32, a clamping plate 33, and a guide rod 34; the clamping plate 31 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the U-shaped base frame 2; the lead screw 32 is rotatably installed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the clamping plate 31; the left and right ends of the guide rod 34 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the clamping plate 31; the clamping plate 33 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 32; the clamping plate 33 and the guide rod 34 are in a limited sliding connection. like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the secondary storage assembly includes a secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41, a feed hopper 42, and a flat valve 43; the left and right sides of the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the U-shaped base frame 2; the upper end of the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41 is provided with a feed inlet; the lower end of the feed hopper 42 is provided with a discharge outlet. A feed hopper 42 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the secondary stirred fermentation chamber 41; and the discharge port of the feed hopper 42 is connected to the feed port of the secondary stirred fermentation chamber 41. The secondary stirred fermentation chamber 41 has symmetrical downward sloping surfaces on the left and right sides at the lower end; The secondary mixing and fermentation chamber 41 is provided with a discharge port at its lower end; a flat valve 43 is also fixedly installed at the discharge port. like Figure 5As shown, the stirring assembly includes a stirring shaft 52, a stirring rod 53, a stirring motor 56, and an induction heating ring 57; the left and right ends of the stirring shaft 52 are sealed and rotatably connected to the inner walls of the left and right sides of the U-shaped base frame 2; and the middle part of the stirring shaft 52 is also sealed and rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41. Multiple stirring rods 53 are fixedly installed on the stirring shaft 52; the stirring rods 53 are distributed in a circumferential array at equal intervals on the stirring shaft 52. The mixing main shaft 52 and the mixing rod 53 are provided with an air supply auxiliary channel 54; the air supply auxiliary channel 54 of the mixing rod 53 is connected to the air supply auxiliary channel 54 of the mixing main shaft 52; and the air supply auxiliary channel 54 is connected to the air supply main channel 51. The stirring rod 53 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 55 for venting; and a filter screen is fixedly installed on the air outlets 55 to prevent coffee raw materials from entering. The stirring motor 56 is fixedly installed at the left end of the U-shaped base frame 2; the output end of the stirring motor 56 is fixedly connected to the stirring main shaft 52. An induction heating ring 57 for heating the secondary stirred fermentation chamber 41 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the secondary stirred fermentation chamber 41. The diameter of the gas delivery auxiliary channel 54 in each layer of the stirring assembly is different, and the size of the gas delivery auxiliary channel 54 gradually decreases from top to bottom; When the oxygen input rate in the main gas supply channel 51 is constant, the larger the diameter of the secondary gas supply channel 54, the more oxygen will be discharged into the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41 from the gas supply hole 55 per unit time, which will accelerate the fermentation of coffee raw materials. As the size of the secondary gas supply channel 54 gradually decreases, the fermentation speed of coffee raw materials after multiple rounds of fermentation will slow down, which will help improve the flavor of coffee raw materials. Each layer of induction heating ring 57 heats the secondary stirred fermentation chamber 41 at a different temperature, and the heating temperature is inversely proportional to the amount of oxygen in the secondary stirred fermentation chamber 41. The lower the amount of oxygen, the higher the temperature. The higher the temperature, the more it can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and further slow down the fermentation rate.

[0016] In this utility model, by placing the left and right sides of the U-shaped base frame 2 on the upper end of the fermentation tank 1, and then rotating the screws 32 on the left and right sides, the clamping plate 33 is moved along the guide rod 34 toward the fermentation tank 1 until the clamping plate 33 is pressed against the outer arm of the fermentation tank 1. The coffee raw materials are then added to the secondary stirring and fermentation chamber 41 through the feed hopper 42 in the uppermost storage component; and the upper end of the fermentation tank 1 is sealed with a sealing cloth. Subsequently, the stirring motor 56 corresponding to the top-level storage component drives the stirring main shaft 52 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring main shaft 52 drives multiple stirring rods 53 to rotate simultaneously, which can stir the coffee raw materials in the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41. During the stirring process, oxygen enters the secondary air supply channel 54 opened inside the stirring main shaft 52 through the main air supply channel 51, and is discharged outward into the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41 through the air supply holes 55 opened on the stirring rods 53. This ensures that the coffee raw materials in each area of ​​the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41 can be fully contacted with oxygen while being stirred. After the first round of fermentation is completed, the top stirring motor 56 stops working, and then the top plate valve 43 opens to release the seal on the outlet of the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41; at this time, the coffee raw material after the first round of fermentation will pass through the outlet into the feed hopper 42 of the next level storage component; The process is then repeated until the coffee raw material completes the step-by-step continuous fermentation process; finally, the fermented coffee raw material is discharged into the fermentation tank 1 through the secondary stirring fermentation chamber 41 of the lowest secondary storage component. When the coffee raw material stored in the fermentation tank 1 reaches its maximum value, remove the sealing cloth at the top of the fermentation tank 1, then rotate the screw 32 to drive the clamp 33 to rotate, releasing the fixing effect between the U-shaped base frame 2 and the fermentation tank 1. Then remove the U-shaped base frame 2 and remove the coffee raw material from the fermentation tank 1.
