Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation equipment technology, specifically a burdock fermentation device. Background Technology

[0002] Burdock (Doubang) is a vegetable, scientifically known as the root of the plant *Arctium lappa*, belonging to the genus *Caragana*. It is widely consumed in China and other regions and has certain medicinal value. Burdock root is crisp and tender with a fragrant aroma, and can be eaten raw, boiled, stir-fried, or made into burdock tea, among other ways. A burdock fermentation tank is a specialized device for fermenting burdock, utilizing microbial technology to alter the various physical and chemical properties of the raw material. The main purpose is to enhance the flavor and nutritional value of burdock and extend its shelf life. Through fermentation, the dietary fiber in burdock can be partially degraded, further improving the body's absorption rate of its nutrients. Simultaneously, fermentation also produces a unique flavor.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. (CN217997140U) discloses a burdock compound fruit and vegetable enzyme fermentation tank, including a fermentation tank with an arc-shaped bottom. A fixing ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer circle of the fermentation tank. Multiple support columns for support are fixedly installed on the fixing ring. A fixing block is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the fixing ring. A sliding rod is fixedly installed vertically upward on the fixing block. A movable block is movably installed on the sliding rod. A motor is provided on the movable block. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the main rod. Two connecting sleeves are fixedly sleeved on the main rod. A stirring rod and a stirring scraper are fixedly installed on the two connecting sleeves respectively.

[0004] Existing technology, although it can drive the round box to rotate through the main rod, so that the enzyme inside the round box can be discharged out through multiple holes and evenly sprinkled into the raw materials in the fermentation tank, achieves the effect of convenient and evenly sprinkling the enzyme into the raw materials. However, the existing fermentation tank design does not take into account the subsequent turning and pouring needs, which makes it very inconvenient to take the burdock out of the fermentation tank after the fermentation is completed.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems by proposing a burdock fermentation device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology, this utility model provides a technical solution for a burdock fermentation device. By rotatably connecting the fermentation tank to the support frame, an electric push rod drives a rack to rise, which in turn drives a gear to rotate, thereby driving the entire fermentation tank to rotate and flip. This effectively solves the problem of inconvenient removal of burdock after fermentation. Simultaneously, a storage tray fixedly connected to the fermentation tank is designed. The inner cavity is divided into six equal parts by a rotatably connected star-shaped pusher plate. Users can sequentially place various additives required for fermentation into each inner cavity. The rotating shaft drives the stirring rod to rotate, which in turn drives the pusher plate to rotate, pushing the additives sequentially to the discharge port and evenly sprinkling them onto the burdock for stirring. Furthermore, one end of the storage tray is magnetically connected to two symmetrically designed cover plates, effectively preventing debris from contacting the remaining additives.

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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, a burdock fermentation device includes a fermentation tank 1 and a support 101; the fermentation tank 1 and the support 101 are rotatably connected, and a rotatable connection mechanism is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the support 101.

[0027] The rotating connection mechanism includes an electric push rod 2, which is fixed to the inner cavity of the support 101. A gear 201 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fermentation tank 1. The gear 201 is located in the inner cavity of the support 101. A clearance groove 202 is provided on the top plate of the support 101. A rack 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 2. The position of the rack 203 corresponds to the position of the clearance groove 202. The rack 203 and the gear 201 are meshed. The length of the rack 203 and the number of teeth of the gear 201 can be optimized according to the weight of the fermentation tank 1 and the turning angle to ensure the stability of the turning process. The power and thrust of the electric push rod 2 can be selected according to the weight of the fermentation tank 1 to ensure the reliability of the turning process.

[0028] A storage tray 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the inner cavity of the fermentation tank 1. A pusher plate 301 is provided in the inner cavity of the storage tray 3. The pusher plate 301 is in the shape of a star and divides the inner cavity of the storage tray 3 into six equal inner cavities. A discharge port 302 is opened at the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage tray 3. The thickness and strength of the pusher plate 301 can be designed according to the weight of the additives and the pushing distance to ensure the stability of the pushing process.

[0029] A mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fermentation tank 1. A rotating shaft 401 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the mounting bracket 4. One end of the rotating shaft 401 passes through the inner cavity of the storage tray 3 and extends downward. The inner cavity of the push plate 301 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 401.

[0030] A drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 401. The drive motor 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 401 through a reducer. Two sets of stirring blades 501 are fixed on the surface of the rotating shaft 401. The two sets of stirring blades 501 are located in the inner cavity of the fermentation tank 1. The length and number of stirring blades 501 are designed according to the inner cavity size of the fermentation tank 1 to ensure the uniformity of stirring.

[0031] One end of the storage tray 3 is magnetically connected to two symmetrically designed cover plates 6. The cover plates 6 are used to prevent debris from coming into contact with the remaining additives in the storage tray 3. The cover plates 6 are connected to the storage tray 3 by multiple magnets 601. The magnetic strength of the magnets 601 can be selected according to the weight of the cover plates 6 and the operating frequency to ensure a firm connection of the cover plates 6.

[0032] The shape of the cover plate 6 matches the end shape of the storage tray 3 to ensure a sealing effect. The cover plate 6 is a magnetic cover plate. A guide plate 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fermentation tank 1 to guide the burdock.

[0033] The storage tray 3 is made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. The rotating shaft 401 is made of stainless steel, which ensures that it will not deform during long-term use.

[0034] In use, first, place the burdock into the fermentation tank 1 and remove the two cover plates 6. Then, place the various additives required for fermentation into the six equal inner cavities of the storage tray 3 in sequence, and reinstall the cover plates 6. Start the drive motor 5, which drives the rotating shaft 401 to rotate. The rotating shaft 401 drives the stirring blade 501 and the pusher plate 301 to rotate. When the pusher plate 301 rotates, it pushes the various additives in the inner cavity of the storage tray 3 to the discharge port 302 and drops them down to mix with the burdock in the fermentation tank 1. After fermentation is completed, start the electric push rod 2. When the electric push rod 2 is working, the push rod rises, which drives the rack 203 to move upward through the relief groove 202. The rise of the rack 203 causes the gear 201 to rotate, which in turn drives the fermentation tank 1 to rotate and flip, thereby pouring out the fermented burdock in the inner cavity of the fermentation tank 1 through the guide plate 7.
