Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical engineering technology, and in particular to an anaerobic fermentation reaction device for flavored coffee beans. Background Technology

[0002] Coffee beans are the core ingredient in making coffee. They are essentially the seeds obtained from the fruit of the coffee tree after the skin and pulp have been removed and the fruit dried.

[0003] The core function of an anaerobic fermentation coffee bean reaction device is to create a strictly anaerobic fermentation environment for coffee beans. By controlling conditions such as temperature and humidity, the device allows the coffee beans to undergo microbial reactions in an anaerobic state.

[0004] However, existing anaerobic fermentation reaction devices for flavored coffee beans have the following shortcomings: Traditional anaerobic fermentation equipment for flavored coffee beans typically uses sealed tanks to maintain anaerobic conditions. However, when taking samples, the tank needs to be opened, inevitably allowing outside air to enter, which disrupts the internal anaerobic environment and affects the flavor and quality of the coffee beans. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an anaerobic fermentation reaction device for flavored coffee beans, which can effectively solve the problem of damaging the internal anaerobic environment and affecting the flavor and quality of coffee beans.

[0009] Preferably, an oxygen content detector is installed at the top of the outer tank, a temperature sensor is installed on the inside of the inner tank, and a pH sensor is installed on the inside of the inner tank.

[0010] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a stirring column, with multiple first stirring plates arranged in a ring around the outer side of the stirring column, and multiple connecting rods arranged in a ring around the outer side below the stirring column, with a second stirring plate arranged on each connecting rod away from the center of the inner tank.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of each second stirring plate is located inside the inner tank below the inner tank body.

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0017] like Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 As shown, an anaerobic fermentation device for flavored coffee beans includes an outer tank 1, an inner tank 2 disposed inside the outer tank 1, a discharge mechanism 3 mounted on the side of the outer tank 1, and a stirring mechanism 4 disposed inside the inner tank 2. The discharge mechanism 3 includes a first sphere 32. A frame plate 31 is disposed between the outer tank 1 and the inner tank 2. A first column 33 is disposed through the interior of the first sphere 32. A second column 34 is slidably connected inside the first column 33. A large hemisphere 39 is disposed on the left side of the second column 34. A slot 310 is opened on the side of the inner tank 2 near the large hemisphere 39. A through column 38 is disposed on the right side of the first column 33. A column plate 35 is disposed inside the front side of the first column 33. A second sphere 36 is disposed on the side of the column plate 35 near the second column 34. The side of the column plate 35 away from the second sphere 36... A spring 37 is provided, and a block 311 is provided on the right side of the outer tank 1. One side of the spring 37 is fixedly connected to the side end of the column plate 35, and the other side of the spring 37 is fixedly connected to the inside of the first column 33. A motor 7 is provided above the outer tank 1. An air outlet 8 is provided on the right side above the outer tank 1. A one-way valve 9 is provided on the outside of the air outlet 8. A feed inlet 5 is provided on the left side of the outer tank 1 and the left side of the inner tank 2. A discharge outlet 6 is provided on the bottom of the outer tank 1 and the bottom of the inner tank 2. A water inlet 10 is provided on the side end of the outer tank 1 and the side end of the inner tank 2. A water outlet 11 is provided on the side end of the outer tank 1 and the side end of the inner tank 2. An oxygen content detector 12 is provided on the upper part of the inside of the outer tank 1. A temperature sensor 13 is provided on the inside of the inner tank 2. A pH sensor 14 is provided on the inside of the inner tank 2.

[0018] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: the relevant components can improve the flavor and quality of anaerobic fermented coffee beans in a traditional anaerobic fermentation coffee bean reactor through mechanical transmission. The function of setting the through column 38 and the first ball 32 is to effectively prevent external air from entering the inner tank 2. The function of setting the strong spring 37 is to prevent the second column 34 from sliding inside the first column 33, so that the sample does not leave the inner tank 2 when sampling is not performed, and to prevent the hemisphere 39 from affecting the stirring when it is inside the inner tank 2. The function of setting the limiting groove on the side of the second column 34 is to achieve accurate engagement between the second ball 36 and the second column 34 after sliding. With this mechanical transmission method, it is not necessary to open the tank when sampling, which prevents the destruction of the internal anaerobic environment and improves the flavor and quality of coffee beans.

[0019] Example 2, as Figures 1-6 As shown, the stirring mechanism 4 includes a stirring column 41, a plurality of first stirring plates 42 are arranged in a ring around the outer side of the stirring column 41, a plurality of connecting rods 43 are arranged in a ring around the lower outer side of the stirring column 41, and a second stirring plate 44 is arranged at the center of each connecting rod 43 away from the inner tank 2, and the bottom of each second stirring plate 44 is located inside the lower part of the inner tank 2.

[0020] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: by setting the stirring mechanism 4, the motor 7 drives the stirring column 41, the first stirring plate 42, the connecting rod 43 and the second stirring plate 44 to rotate inside the inner tank 2, which facilitates the uniform heating of coffee beans.

[0021] Pre-treated coffee beans are poured into the inner tank 2. After addition, the feed inlet 5 is sealed. Then, the water bath heating system is activated, and hot water is injected into the cavity between the inner and outer tanks through the water inlet 10, which is shared by the outer tank 1 and the inner tank 2. After the cavity is filled with hot water, excess water is discharged from the outlet 11. At this time, the oxygen content detector 12 monitors the oxygen content inside the upper part of the outer tank 1 in real time, and the data is encrypted and transmitted to the cloud platform. Operators can view the data in real time through the cloud to ensure that the oxygen content inside the tank is maintained below the anaerobic standard of less than one percent. The temperature sensor 13 inside the inner tank 2 continuously collects the temperature data inside the tank and also uploads it to the cloud in encrypted form. If the temperature is lower than the 20-30℃ range required for fermentation, hot water is continuously injected through the water inlet 10. The hot water flows in the cavity between the inner and outer tanks. The pH sensor 14 monitors the acidity changes of the coffee beans in the inner tank 2 during fermentation, and the data is encrypted and transmitted to the cloud to help operators judge the fermentation progress. The stirring mechanism 4 is activated, and the motor 7 drives the stirring column 41 to rotate. The stirring column 41 is surrounded by a ring on the outside. Multiple first stirring plates 42 rotate accordingly. Simultaneously, multiple connecting rods 43 arranged in a ring on the outer side below the stirring column 41 drive the second stirring plate 44 to rotate. As carbon dioxide accumulates, the pressure inside the inner tank 2 gradually increases. When the pressure reaches a certain value, the carbon dioxide pushes the one-way valve 9 outside the outlet 8 to open, and the carbon dioxide is discharged outside the device through the outlet 8. When the pressure inside the tank drops to the normal range, the one-way valve 9 automatically closes. During sampling and observation, the operator can pull the second column 34, which moves to the right. As the second column 34 moves, the large hemisphere 39 on the left side moves to the right. At the same time, the spring 37 deforms, and the column plate 35 and the second sphere 36 slide inside the side end of the first column 33. The second sphere 36 disengages from the second column 34, and the large hemisphere 39 disengages from the empty groove 310 on the side of the inner tank 2, pushing the second column 34 in the opposite direction. The spring 37 returns to its original position, the second sphere 36 re-engages with the second column 34, the large hemisphere 39 returns to its original position, and the coffee bean falls into the space formed by the frame plate 31, removing the block 311.

[0022] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
