Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of yogurt fermentation technology, specifically a fully automatic yogurt fermentation cabinet that integrates maturation and refrigeration. Background Technology

[0002] Yogurt is a dairy product made by fermenting milk or other animal milk with lactic acid bacteria. It has a unique sweet and sour taste, thick texture, and rich nutritional value.

[0003] Existing yogurt processing involves three core stages: fermentation, ripening, and refrigeration. Fermentation transforms liquid milk into solid yogurt through the action of microorganisms. Ripening improves the texture, making the curd smoother and firmer. Finally, the yogurt needs to be refrigerated at low temperatures. However, existing yogurt processing equipment typically uses different equipment for fermentation, ripening, and refrigeration. This requires constantly transferring the semi-finished yogurt during processing, making the process cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. It also increases the risk of the yogurt coming into contact with bacteria in the air and spoiling.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a fully automatic yogurt fermentation cabinet that integrates maturation and refrigeration. Utility Model Content

[0018] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a fully automatic yogurt fermentation cabinet integrating maturation and refrigeration includes a cabinet body 1. A cabinet door 11 is installed on the side wall of the cabinet body 1, and the cabinet door 11 is equipped with a sealing ring and is magnetically attached to the cabinet body 1. An equipment box 12 is installed on the top of the cabinet body 1, and a control panel 13 is installed on the side wall of the equipment box 12. A pair of front fixing plates 14 and rear fixing plates 15 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the cabinet body 1. Fixing components are provided on the front fixing plates 14 and rear fixing plates 15, and a support frame 16 is installed on the fixing components. A tray 17 is slidably fitted on the support frame 16. An internal circulation component is provided on the top inner side of the cabinet body 1, a moving component is provided on the bottom inner side of the cabinet body 1, and a collection component is provided on the bottom inner side of the cabinet body 1. During operation, the yogurt to be fermented is collected... The fermented yogurt containers are evenly placed on the tray 17. Then, the support frame 16 is adjusted according to the actual height of the containers, and its position on the fixed component is adjusted. The tray 17 is then placed on the support frame 16, and the cabinet door 11 is closed. The heating device in the equipment box 12 then heats the cabinet 1 at a constant temperature to promote yogurt fermentation. After fermentation, the cooling device in the equipment box 12 cools the cabinet 1, allowing the fermented yogurt to mature and be refrigerated within the cabinet 1. With the above structure, by configuring a cooling device such as an evaporator and a heating device such as an electric heating element in the equipment box 12, it is convenient to ferment, mature, and refrigerate the yogurt within the cabinet 1, thereby improving the convenience of yogurt processing and reducing the need to transfer yogurt to different equipment, which would otherwise be cumbersome.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the internal circulation component includes a bellows 2, which is installed on the top of the inner side of the cabinet 1. The front of the bellows 2 is inclined, and a pair of fans 21 are installed on one inclined end of the bellows 2. The fans 21 are equipped with a protective net 22. An air outlet 23 is opened at the bottom of the bellows 2. When the yogurt is being processed, the fans 21 are started to draw air into the bellows 2, and then the airflow is blown out from the air outlet 23. At this time, the airflow can be driven to circulate within the cabinet 1. Through the above structure, and through the inclined structure of the bellows 2 and the fans 21, the airflow can circulate up and down within the cabinet 1, thereby driving the cold or hot air to circulate within the cabinet 1, so that the heating and refrigeration temperatures between the multiple layers of yogurt can be more uniform.

[0021] like Figure 2As shown, the collection component includes a water guide 3, which is fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 1. A pull-out tray 31 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the cabinet 1. During operation, when the yogurt is fermenting, it will produce a lot of water vapor. When the water vapor condenses into water droplets in the cabinet 1, it will flow downwards. When the water droplets enter the water guide 3, they will enter the pull-out tray 31 along its funnel-shaped structure. At this time, the pull-out tray 31 will collect the flowing water. After the yogurt processing is completed, the pull-out tray 31 can be pulled out to pour out the water, and then the pull-out tray 31 can be put back into the cabinet 1. Through the above structure, the water guide 3 and the pull-out tray 31 can easily collect the water droplets produced during yogurt fermentation, thereby reducing the accumulation of water droplets in the cabinet 1 and the inconvenience of cleaning.

[0022] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the fixing assembly includes multiple sets of first trays 4 and multiple sets of second trays 41. The multiple sets of first trays 4 and multiple sets of second trays 41 are respectively fixed to the side walls of the front fixing plate 14 and the rear fixing plate 15. A positioning rod 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the first tray 4. A positioning hole 43 is provided on the support frame 16. A fixing rod 44 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the tray 17. A locking plate 45 is hinged to the side wall of the support frame 16. During operation, the support frame 16 is horizontally inserted between the two first trays 4 and the second trays 41, then the positioning hole 43 is aligned with the positioning rod 42, and the support frame 16 is locked onto the first trays 4 and the second trays 41. Then the tray 17 is inserted. Insert the tray 17 into the support frame 16 and rotate the clamping plate 45 to lock it onto the fixing rod 44. At this time, the positions of the support frame 16 and the tray 17 can be fixed. At the same time, the position of the support frame 16 on the first support plate 4 and the second support plate 41 can be adjusted according to the actual height of the yogurt container. Through the above structure, the positioning rod 42 and the positioning hole 43 can make the position of the support frame 16 more stable, while the fixing rod 44 and the clamping plate 45 can make the position of the tray 17 on the support frame 16 more stable, reducing the possibility of the tray 17 sliding off the support frame 16. Multiple sets of first support plates 4 and second support plates 41 can adjust the position of the support frame 16 to adapt to yogurt containers of different heights, thereby improving the overall applicability of the equipment.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the moving component includes multiple casters 5, which are installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1. Multiple adjustable feet 51 are installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1. The casters 5 and the adjustable feet 51 are distributed at the corners of the cabinet 1. During operation, the entire device can be moved by rotating the casters 5 on the ground.

Through this structure, the casters 5 and adjustable feet 51 facilitate the movement of the device, while the adjustable feet 51 can adjust the overall levelness of the device, improving the stability of the device's position during use.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple temperature monitoring modules 6 are installed on the inner wall of the cabinet 1. The multiple temperature monitoring modules 6 are evenly distributed from top to bottom inside the cabinet 1. During operation, when heating or cooling inside the cabinet 1, the multiple sets of temperature monitoring modules 6 monitor the temperature of multiple layers inside the cabinet 1 in real time and transmit the signals to the temperature control device inside the equipment box 12. Through the above structure, the temperature monitoring modules 6 monitor the temperature inside the cabinet 1 in real time, and together with the temperature control device, the temperature inside the cabinet 1 is maintained at the required temperature.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, both the support frame 16 and the tray 17 are made of stainless steel. Through the above structure, the stainless steel support frame 16 and tray 17 can improve their wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0026] Working principle: Containers containing yogurt to be fermented are evenly placed on tray 17. The support frame 16 is then adjusted to its position on the fixed component according to the actual height of the containers. Tray 17 is then placed on the support frame 16, and cabinet door 11 is closed. The heating device inside equipment box 12 maintains a constant temperature inside cabinet 1, promoting yogurt fermentation. After fermentation, the cooling device inside equipment box 12 cools the inside of cabinet 1, allowing the fermented yogurt to mature and be refrigerated within cabinet 1. During yogurt processing, fan 21 draws air into air box 2, and the airflow is then blown out from air outlet 23, creating a circulating airflow effect within cabinet 1. A significant amount of water vapor is produced during yogurt fermentation. When this water vapor condenses into droplets inside cabinet 1, it flows downwards. As the droplets enter the water guide hopper 3, they follow its funnel-shaped structure into the pull-out tray 31, where the pull-out tray 31 collects the flowing water. Once yogurt processing is complete... Afterwards, the pull-out tray 31 can be pulled out to empty the water, and then the pull-out tray 31 can be put back into the cabinet 1. The support frame 16 is horizontally inserted between the two first trays 4 and the second tray 41, and then the positioning hole 43 is aligned with the positioning rod 42. The support frame 16 is then locked onto the first tray 4 and the second tray 41. Then the tray 17 is inserted into the support frame 16, and the locking plate 45 is rotated to lock onto the fixing rod 44. At this time, the position of the support frame 16 and the tray 17 can be fixed. At the same time, the position of the support frame 16 on the first tray 4 and the second tray 41 can be adjusted according to the actual height of the yogurt container. The entire equipment can be moved by rotating the casters 5 on the ground. When it is moved to the designated position, the position of the equipment can be fixed by adjusting the adjustable feet 51 to press against the ground. When heating or cooling inside the cabinet 1, multiple temperature monitoring modules 6 monitor the temperature of the multiple layers inside the cabinet 1 in real time and transmit the signal to the temperature control device in the equipment box 12.
