Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shearing machine technology, specifically to a probiotic fermentation device with a scraping component. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of probiotic fermentation technology, the design of the fermentation device is crucial for ensuring fermentation efficiency and product quality. Traditional probiotic fermentation devices typically include a fermentation tank and a stirring assembly. The stirring assembly agitates the raw materials within the fermentation tank to promote the growth and reproduction of probiotics. However, traditional fermentation devices have certain shortcomings in terms of stirring effect and control of raw material residue. On the one hand, traditional mixing components mostly use a single stirring rod or stirring paddle structure, which is a single stirring method and makes it difficult to fully mix all the raw materials in the fermentation tank. This can easily lead to uneven mixing and affect the fermentation effect of probiotics. On the other hand, during the fermentation process, raw materials in traditional fermentation devices tend to adhere to the inner wall and bottom surface of the fermentation tank, forming residues. This not only reduces the utilization rate of raw materials but may also affect the hygiene and quality of subsequent fermentation processes. Publication No. CN218089548U discloses a fermenter with a stirring function. The fermenter body has an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. A controller is installed on the outside of the fermenter body, and a stirring mechanism is installed inside. The stirring shaft of the stirring mechanism is connected to a cleaning mechanism inside the fermenter body, and a temperature sensor is installed on the outside of the stirring shaft. One end of the stirring shaft extends through the outside of the fermenter body and connects to a transmission mechanism. The stirring shaft also extends through the transmission mechanism and connects to a first flow pipe via a connecting cylinder mechanism. The other end of the first flow pipe is connected to a water pump, and the water pump is connected to a water tank at the top of the fermenter body via a second flow pipe. This fermenter with a stirring function solves the problem that existing fermenters cannot simultaneously stir and ferment. However, this patent still has the following problems in practical use: The stirring rod in the above-mentioned device is a single structure. When the number of stirring rods is small, it may not be able to fully stir all the raw materials in the fermentation tank. Moreover, although the U-shaped rod cannot assist in the discharge of raw materials on the bottom surface of the tank, the simple rotation will cause the raw materials to move to the bottom edge of the tank due to centrifugal force due to scraping, which cannot keep the residue reduced. In addition, the way it contacts the tank may affect the scraping effect, and the scraping performance may be reduced due to wear after long-term use. Furthermore, it is not easy to replace and maintain.
[0003] A probiotic fermentation device with a scraping component is proposed to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a probiotic fermentation device with a scraping component, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The stirring rod in the above-mentioned device has a single structure, which may not be able to fully stir all the raw materials in the fermentation tank when the number of stirring rods is small. Moreover, although the U-shaped rod cannot assist in dropping the raw materials on the bottom surface of the tank, the simple rotation will cause the raw materials to move to the bottom edge of the tank due to centrifugal force under scraping, which cannot keep the residue reduced. Furthermore, the contact method between the rod and the tank body may affect the scraping effect, and the scraping performance may be reduced due to wear after long-term use, and it is not easy to replace and maintain.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a probiotic fermentation device with a scraping component, comprising a fermentation tank, wherein a tank cover is installed on the top of the fermentation tank and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank; The fermenter is equipped with a stirring assembly, which includes a drive shaft.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This probiotic fermentation device with a scraping component uses a drive shaft to rotate interlaced, inclined, and evenly distributed slanted rods to achieve thorough mixing of raw materials. Furthermore, guide scrapers and sidewall scrapers scrape the bottom and inner walls of the fermentation tank to reduce raw material residue. It also features a structure that allows for quick disassembly and replacement. The specific details are as follows: 1. By setting up staggered, evenly distributed first and second inclined rods, thorough mixing of raw materials at all heights within the fermenter can be achieved without the need for multiple stirring rods. This design not only simplifies the stirring structure and reduces costs but also improves stirring efficiency, allowing for more uniform mixing of raw materials, which is beneficial for the probiotic fermentation process. Secondly, the guide scrapers and sidewall scrapers in the stirring assembly scrape the inner bottom and inner wall of the fermenter, effectively promoting the falling of raw materials and reducing residue within the fermenter. This not only improves the utilization rate of raw materials but also avoids problems such as incomplete fermentation or contamination caused by residue. Furthermore, the stirring assembly is slidably connected to the drive shaft via a linear guide rail and fixed with capped pins and threaded caps, allowing for quick separation of the stirring assembly from the drive shaft. This facilitates direct replacement of its components, improving equipment maintenance efficiency and convenience.
[0013] 2. The side wall scraper is connected to the mounting ring using fixing pads and bolts. This connection method is simple and reliable, ensuring the stability of the side wall scraper during operation. Furthermore, when the side wall scraper wears or is damaged due to prolonged use, it can be easily replaced individually by simply removing the bolts, without needing to disassemble and replace the entire mixing assembly, significantly reducing maintenance and time costs.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0017] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: a probiotic fermentation device with a scraping component, including a fermentation tank 1, a tank cover 101 installed on the top of the fermentation tank 1, and a discharge port 102 opened at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The fermenter 1 is equipped with a stirring assembly 2, which includes a drive shaft 201. The top end of the drive shaft 201 extends out of the tank cover 101 and is fixedly connected to a first gear 202. A first connecting sleeve 203 is fitted on the top of the drive shaft 201. A first inclined rod 204 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the first connecting sleeve 203. A second connecting sleeve 205 is fitted on the bottom of the drive shaft 201. A second inclined rod 206 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the second connecting sleeve 205. A guide scraper 208 is symmetrically provided on the inner bottom surface of the fermenter 1. One end of the guide scraper 208 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second inclined rod 206, and the other end of the guide scraper 208 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first inclined rod 204. The top ends of the two second inclined rods 206 are fixedly connected to the same mounting ring 207. A suspension ring 211 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the mounting ring 207. The bottom surface of the mounting ring 207... Side wall scrapers 214 are symmetrically fixedly installed; an arch frame 216 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank lid 101, a first motor 217 is fixedly connected to the top of the arch frame 216, a second gear 218 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 217, the second gear 218 meshes with the first gear 202, and the drive shaft 201 is rotatably connected to the tank lid 101; by starting the first motor 217, the second gear 218 drives the first gear 202 to rotate, thereby causing the drive shaft 201 to drive the first connecting sleeve 203 and the second connecting sleeve 205 to rotate through the linear guide rail 209, which in turn causes the first inclined rod 204 and the second inclined rod 206 to rotate. Due to the staggered inclined shape of the first inclined rod 204 and the second inclined rod 206, without the need to set multiple stirring rods, the first inclined rod 204 and the second inclined rod 206 moving around can fully stir the raw materials at all heights inside the fermentation tank 1.
[0018] The second connecting sleeve 205 is fitted to the inner bottom surface of the fermentation tank 1, and the side wall scraper 214 slides against the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. The side wall scraper 214 can scrape the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, promoting the raw materials attached to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 to fall to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The guide scraper 208 can scrape the raw materials on the inner bottom surface of the fermentation tank 1, so that the raw materials will be pushed by the guide scraper 208 and fall from the discharge port 102, reducing the residue of raw materials.
[0019] A linear guide 209 is provided on the outer side of the drive shaft 201. Positioning holes 210 are provided at both the top and bottom of the drive shaft 201. The linear guide 209 is slidably connected to both the first connecting sleeve 203 and the second connecting sleeve 205. Through holes are provided on the outer sides of both the first connecting sleeve 203 and the second connecting sleeve 205. A capped pin 212 is threadedly connected to both the positioning hole 210 and the through hole. The capped pin 212 passes through the through hole and is threadedly fixed to a threaded cap 213. The end of the capped pin 212 away from the threaded cap 213 is fixedly connected to... The threaded cap 213 and the threaded head are attached to the outer side of the first connecting sleeve 203. By disassembling the capped pin 212 and the threaded cap 213, and removing the capped pin 212 from the through hole and the positioning hole 210, the first connecting sleeve 203 and the second connecting sleeve 205 can slide along the linear guide rail 209 and finally separate from the drive shaft 201. This allows for the quick separation of the drive shaft 201 from the first inclined rod 204, the second inclined rod 206, the guide scraper 208, and the mounting ring 207, enabling direct replacement of the assembled components.
[0020] The fermenter 1 has a stepped platform 215 at the top inside, and the suspension ring 211 is fitted and overlapped with the stepped platform 215. The second inclined rod 206 and the first inclined rod 204 are evenly distributed in a circle. The second inclined rod 206 and the first inclined rod 204 can promote more uniform stirring.
[0021] The top of the step platform 215 is provided with a fixing component 3. The fixing component 3 includes a fixing pad 301 that is fixedly connected to the top of the side wall scraper 214. The fixing pad 301 is threaded with a bolt 302, which is threaded with a mounting ring 207. By removing the bolt 302, the side wall scraper 214 can be replaced individually.
[0022] Working principle: Before using this probiotic fermentation device with a scraping component, it is necessary to check the overall condition of the device to ensure it can operate normally. Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the first motor 217 is started first. The output end of the first motor 217 drives the second gear 218 to rotate. Since the second gear 218 is meshed with the first gear 202, it drives the first gear 202 to rotate. The first gear 202 then drives the drive shaft 201 to rotate.
[0023] The linear guide rail 209 on the outer side of the drive shaft 201 is slidably connected to the first connecting sleeve 203 and the second connecting sleeve 205. When the drive shaft 201 rotates, the first connecting sleeve 203 and the second connecting sleeve 205 also rotate due to the drive of the linear guide rail 209. The first inclined rod 204, which is symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the first connecting sleeve 203, and the second inclined rod 206, which is symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the second connecting sleeve 205, begin to move around. Since the first inclined rod 204 and the second inclined rod 206 have an alternating inclined shape and are evenly distributed circumferentially, they can fully stir the raw materials at all heights inside the fermentation tank 1.
[0024] Meanwhile, the mounting ring 207 fixedly connected to the top of the second inclined rod 206 drives the side wall scraper 214 to rotate. The side wall scraper 214 slides against the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, scraping the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 and promoting the raw materials attached to the inner wall to fall to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. In addition, the guide scraper 208 fixedly connected to the bottom of the first inclined rod 204 and the second inclined rod 206 scrapes the raw materials on the bottom surface of the fermentation tank 1, pushing the raw materials to fall from the discharge port 102 and reducing the residue of raw materials.
[0025] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
