[0018] 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 a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. 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. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected 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.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a fermentation device includes a first fermentation tank 1 and a second fermentation tank 2. A walking platform 6 is laid between the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2. The walking platform 6 is flush with the top of the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2. A grain conveying trough 9 is provided below the walking platform 6. A belt conveyor 8 is installed at the bottom of the grain conveying trough 9. One end of the belt conveyor 8 extends out of the grain conveying trough 9. Both the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 include multiple fermentation chambers 3 of similar size. A conveying port connected to the grain conveying trough 9 is opened on the side of the fermentation chamber 3 facing the grain conveying trough 9. The conveying port is sealed by a detachable sealing plate 4.

[0020] The bottom surface of the fermentation chamber 3 is inclined, with its lowest point on the side facing the grain conveying trough 9 (i.e., the side where the conveying port is located). The inclination angle between the bottom surface and the horizontal plane is 5°-15°. This inclined structure utilizes the gravity of the raw materials themselves, guiding the fermentation raw materials to slide naturally towards the conveying port after the sealing plate 4 is opened, completing the initial conveying without additional power. The solid grain mash has a certain degree of looseness, and the 5°-15° inclination angle can balance the gravity flow and the stability during fermentation (preventing the raw materials from piling up on one side during fermentation).

[0021] An arc-shaped guide plate is installed below the conveyor inlet. One end of the guide plate smoothly connects to the inclined bottom surface of the fermentation chamber 3, and the other end extends 10-15cm above the conveyor surface of the belt conveyor 8 inside the grain conveying trough 9. The guide plate is made of stainless steel, and its curvature is adapted to the trajectory of the raw material, preventing the raw material from scattering to the bottom of the grain conveying trough 9 or the outside of the belt conveyor 8. By connecting the fermentation chamber and the belt conveyor with the guide plate, the problem of scattering caused by the drop difference is solved, ensuring that the raw material falls accurately onto the conveyor belt.

[0022] A sealing plate slot 12 is provided at the conveying port of fermentation chamber 3. The sealing plate 4 is inserted into the sealing plate slot 12, which ensures that the sealing plate 4 remains intact after insertion. A rubber sealing gasket is attached to the inner wall of the sealing plate slot 12. After the sealing plate 4 is inserted into the slot, the rubber sealing gasket fits tightly with the sealing plate 4, which can prevent microbial leakage or external impurities from entering fermentation chamber 3 during fermentation. The height of the sealing plate 4 is 10-20cm higher than the top of fermentation chamber 3. With the help of the handle 13, it can be quickly inserted and removed by a single person without damaging the airtightness of the fermentation chamber during operation.

[0023] The sealing plate 4 is made of corrosion-resistant wood board. A handle 13 is fixed on the top of the sealing plate 4, which facilitates the placement and removal of the sealing plate 4.

[0024] A triangular walking platform support structure 11 is installed at the conveying port of fermentation chamber 3 to support the walking platform 6. The triangular walking platform support structure 11 is located on both sides of the conveying port (not on the raw material conveying path). The base of the support structure 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of fermentation chamber 3, and the apex is welded to the lower surface of the walking platform 6. The horizontal distance between the support structure 11 and the conveying port is not less than 30cm, and its height is lower than the lowest point of the conveying port to ensure that the raw material is not obstructed when sliding out of the conveying port.

[0025] The first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 are both composed of multiple fermentation tank units 10 spliced ​​together, and the fermentation tank unit 10 is a concrete structure.

[0026] One end of the pedestrian platform 6 is equipped with a staircase 5 in the shape of the letter "I", and the other end of the pedestrian platform 6 is equipped with a staircase 7 in the shape of the letter "A". The staircase 7 spans the belt conveyor 8. Both staircase 5 and staircase 7 are used to facilitate the movement of materials and personnel.

[0027] The conveyor belt of belt conveyor 8 is made of food-grade oil-resistant rubber with a diamond-shaped anti-slip pattern on the surface, which enhances the friction with the solid fermentation raw materials and prevents them from slipping during transport. The width of the conveyor belt is matched to the width of the fermentation chamber's conveying opening, and the upper surface of the conveyor belt is flush with the lowest point of the inclined bottom surface of fermentation chamber 3, ensuring that the raw materials can fall directly onto the conveyor belt after sliding out. A discharge baffle is installed at the end of belt conveyor 8 that extends into the grain trough 9, guiding the raw materials precisely into the external receiving equipment (such as a grain truck).

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A belt conveyor 8 is provided between the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2. Both the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 2 are provided with conveying ports leading to the belt conveyor 8. Normally, the conveying ports are sealed by the sealing plate 4, which does not affect the fermentation of the raw materials. When it is necessary to transport the fermented raw materials, the conveying ports need to be opened, and then the raw materials can be transported to the outside through the belt conveyor 8. In summary, this utility model can overcome the problem that the existing fermentation tank has a height difference with the ground, which makes it difficult to take out the fermented raw materials.

[0029] This utility model consists of multiple detachable structural units, which facilitates assembly and disassembly.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
