[0002] In the industrial production of yogurt, the quality of the fermentation strains directly determines the fermentation efficiency, flavor stability, and pass rate of the product. It is a core link in the production chain, requiring staff to add the strains to the fermentation tank to facilitate fermentation by the microorganisms inside the tank.

[0003] Currently, operators often overlook the pre-discharge cleaning steps before adding the starter culture, resulting in residual cleaning fluid and material residue contaminating the newly added starter culture. The opening of the dispensing port lacks linkage control, and the operation process is not standardized, further increasing the risk of contamination by other microorganisms. Furthermore, the cleaning and operation confirmation processes after dispensing lack effective control, affecting the stability of product quality. There is an urgent need to design a linkage control cabinet for adding yogurt fermentation starter culture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
