Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oat herbal raw material mixing technology, and in particular to an oat herbal mixing fermentation stirring tank. Background Technology

[0002] Oat-herbal blended fermentation refers to combining oats with other herbal plants (such as traditional Chinese medicine herbs and functional plants) and using microbial fermentation technology to prepare fermented products with specific nutritional and functional properties. This technology not only enhances the nutritional value of oats but also endows the product with a unique flavor and health benefits. During fermentation, microorganisms (such as lactic acid bacteria and yeast) utilize the carbohydrates, proteins, and other nutrients in oats and herbal plants for metabolic activities, producing beneficial substances such as organic acids, polypeptides, amino acids, and vitamins. Simultaneously, the metabolic activities of microorganisms can also degrade anti-nutritional factors in oats and herbal plants, improving the product's digestibility and absorption rate.

[0003] A fermentation mixing tank is an indispensable piece of equipment in the mixed fermentation process of oats and herbs. It primarily provides a suitable environment for microbial growth and metabolism, and through stirring, ensures the fermentation broth is evenly mixed, guaranteeing the smooth progress of the fermentation process. Fermentation mixing tanks typically have functions such as heating, cooling, stirring, and aeration to meet the needs of different fermentation processes.

[0004] A fermentation tank typically consists of a tank body, a stirring system, an aeration system, a temperature control system, and a measurement and control system. The tank body is usually made of stainless steel, which offers good corrosion resistance and sealing. The stirring system typically employs mechanical or self-priming agitation to break up air bubbles, increase the gas-liquid contact area, and improve mass transfer efficiency. The aeration system introduces sterile air into the fermentation broth to meet the growth requirements of aerobic microorganisms. The temperature control system regulates the temperature of the fermentation broth through heating or cooling devices to ensure the stability of the fermentation process.

[0005] Currently, oat and herbal mixed fermentation mixing tanks suffer from several problems during operation. Because oats and herbal scraps are relatively heavy, they tend to settle at the bottom of the tank, resulting in time-consuming and uneven mixing, thus reducing overall production efficiency. Furthermore, the heating process for the filler is cumbersome, often requiring additional heating devices or complex procedures, increasing production costs and operational complexity.

Each liquid flow pipe is equipped with a material distribution inlet pipe. The main liquid is input through the annular liquid delivery pipe, and the auxiliary material is input through the material distribution inlet pipe. The material is then sprayed out through the nozzles, which cause the sediment at the bottom of the mixing chamber to rise.

[0008] In a further optional embodiment, the bearing assembly includes a bearing housing and a bearing, the bearing being placed on the bearing housing and the bearing housing being installed on the material mixing tank by bolts; the spiral mixing component includes a rotating rod and spiral blades, the spiral blades being sleeved on the rotating rod and fixed thereto; the rotating rod passes through two bearings, and the spiral mixing component is mounted in the mixing tank; the connection between the spiral mixing component, the bearing assembly and the material mixing tank is mechanically sealed. In a further alternative, the side view of the annular infusion pipe is designed in a "C" shape, and the arc of the annular infusion pipe is adapted to the arc of the material mixing tank. The connection between the annular infusion pipe and the material mixing tank is achieved by a bracket and bolts. In a further alternative, the six connecting pipes are divided into groups of three, with the two groups of connecting pipes symmetrically distributed on the annular infusion pipeline and welded to it.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The main liquid is fed through a ring-shaped inlet pipe, while auxiliary materials are fed through a distribution inlet pipe. The mixture is then sprayed out through nozzles, which help to lift sediment from the bottom of the mixing tank, ensuring uniform mixing. Valves are installed on both the nozzles and the distribution inlet pipes to flexibly control the liquid spraying and auxiliary material input, ensuring precise control of the mixing process.

[0010] The servo motor drives the spiral agitator to rotate, which can effectively stir the oat and herbal raw materials in the mixing chamber, while also driving the rising sediment to improve mixing efficiency.

[0011] The liquid material delivery system uses nozzles to lift the sediment at the bottom of the mixing tank, while the spiral stirring system stirs the rising sediment and the entire raw material. The two work together to achieve thorough mixing of the raw materials, improving mixing efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description
