The second drain pipe 7 and the third valve 9 are fixedly connected and connected.
[0024] Furthermore, a sewage pump 10 is installed between the first drain pipe 4 and the second drain pipe 7.
[0025] Furthermore, it also includes a can lid 13, which is detachably connected to the can opening 12 of the can body 1.
[0026] Furthermore, a date recording plate 14 for recording the time of injection of fermentation broth is fixedly installed at the position where the liquid inlet pipe 2 is connected to the first valve 3. The date recording plate 14 includes a base plate 15, on which a month indicator block 16 and a date indicator block 17 are slidably arranged. A month indicator frame 18 is provided on the surface of the base plate 15 corresponding to the moving trajectory of the month indicator block 16, and a date indicator frame 19 is provided on the surface of the base plate 15 corresponding to the moving trajectory of the date indicator block 17.
[0027] Furthermore, a first groove 20 and a second groove 21 are horizontally arranged on the front side of the base plate 15. The month indicator block 16 is slidably disposed in the first groove 20. The shape of one end of the month indicator block 16 entering the first groove 20 is adapted to the shape of the first groove 20, and the other end of the month indicator block 16 extends to the outside of the first groove 20. The date indicator block 17 is slidably disposed in the second groove 21. The shape of one end of the date indicator block 17 entering the second groove 21 is adapted to the shape of the second groove 21, and the other end of the date indicator block 17 extends to the outside of the second groove 21.
[0028] Furthermore, the first groove 20 and the second groove 21 are T-shaped grooves, the month indicator block 16 is a T-shaped block, and a sliding hole 22 is opened on the side of the leg of the month indicator block 16. A locking pin 23 is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 22, and one end of the locking pin 23 extending out of the sliding hole 22 is a wedge-shaped part. Multiple arc-shaped protrusions 24 are arranged in an array on the side wall opposite to the locking pin 23 in the first groove 20. A locking groove 25 is formed between adjacent arc-shaped protrusions 24, and the wedge-shaped part of the locking pin 23 is engaged in the locking groove 25.
[0029] Furthermore, a spring 26 is provided inside the sliding hole 22. One end of the spring 26 contacts the bottom surface of the sliding hole 22, and the other end of the spring 26 contacts the end face of the locking pin 23 that enters the sliding hole 22.
[0030] Furthermore, blocking blocks 27 are fixedly installed at both ends of the first groove 20 and the second groove 21, respectively.
[0031] The working principle of the above technical solution: Animal excrement is fermented in a fermentation tank to form fermentation liquid, which is then transported to tank 1 through inlet pipe 2. Multiple tanks 1 are arranged in a sequential array and installed at intervals on the base. During fermentation and transportation, the first valve 3 on one of the tanks 1 can be opened to allow the fermentation liquid to enter the current tank 1. After the current tank 1 is full, the first valve 3 on it is closed, and the first valve 3 on the next tank 1 is opened to allow the fermentation liquid to enter the next tank 1. The injection of fermentation liquid into multiple tanks is controlled separately. Compared with the existing technology of multiple interconnected tanks, the fermentation liquid entry time can be recorded separately, and the tank 1 can be isolated from other tanks 1 when it malfunctions.
[0032] Multiple tanks 1 are arranged in a straight line array, and the axis of the liquid inlet pipe 2 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the tanks 1, which facilitates the connection between the liquid inlet pipe 2 and the tanks 1.
[0033] One end of the first drain pipe 4 is connected to the first drain port 5 at the bottom of each tank 1, and one end of the second drain pipe 7 is connected to the second drain port 8 of the tank 1. The other end of the first drain pipe 4 and the second drain pipe 7 can be equipped with a discharge valve. When the fermentation liquid needs to be transported away for use, the second valve 6 on the corresponding tank 1 can be opened, and the discharge valve on the second drain pipe 7 can be opened at the same time as the sewage pump 10 is turned on, so as to transport the fermentation liquid to the transport equipment connected to the second drain pipe 7.
[0034] Because sediment will form in the fermentation liquid during storage, the fermentation liquid in tank 1 needs to be stirred before transportation. At this time, all the outlet valves on the first drain pipe 4 and the second drain pipe 7 are closed, the second valve 6 and the third valve 9 of the target tank 1 are opened, and all valves of other tanks 1 are closed. Then, the sewage pump 10 is started. The sewage pump draws the fermentation liquid in the target tank 1 out through the first drain port 5 and sprays it into the target tank 1 through the second drain port 8 to circulate and stir the fermentation liquid in the target tank 1 so that the fermentation liquid is mixed evenly. Then the fermentation liquid is transported to the transportation equipment to ensure that the nutrients in the extracted fermentation liquid are uniform.
[0035] The lid 13 is detachably connected to the opening 12 of the tank body 1, and a threaded connection can be selected. The lid 13 is easy to open for maintenance inside the tank. A pressure relief valve is provided on the lid 13 to release the gas inside the tank when the fermentation liquid is injected to prevent oxidation of the fermentation liquid. It can also release the gas generated during the storage of the fermentation liquid.
[0036] To reduce the storage time of the fermentation broth, the broth that enters the tank first needs to be discharged first. This requires recording the injection time of the fermentation broth in each tank 1. Although electronic equipment has advantages such as advanced technology and accurate timing, power outages will affect its operation. Moreover, tank 1 is generally installed outdoors, so the protection requirements for electronic equipment are high. Therefore, a date recording board 14 for recording the injection time of the fermentation broth is fixedly installed at the connection between the inlet pipe 2 and the first valve 3. The date recording board 14 includes a base plate 15, on which a month indicator block 16 and a date indicator block 17 are slidably mounted. A month indicator frame 18 is set on the surface of the base plate 15 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the month indicator block 16, and a date indicator frame 19 is set on the surface of the base plate 15 corresponding to the movement trajectory of the date indicator block 17.
[0037] With the same setup as month indicator block 16, date indicator block 17 and second groove 21 are fitted with a locking structure.
[0038] After the fermentation liquid is injected into the tank 1, slide the month indicator block 16 to align it with the corresponding month on the month indicator frame 18, and slide the date indicator block 17 to align it with the previous date on the date indicator frame 19. The marked month indicator block 16 and date indicator block 17 are locked in the locking groove 25 by the locking structure locking pin 23 under the elastic force of the spring 26, preventing the month indicator block 16 and date indicator block 17 from sliding and ensuring the accuracy of the injection date.
[0039] During installation, first insert the spring 26 into the sliding hole 22 of the month indicator block 16, then insert the locking pin 23 into the sliding hole 22 and press the locking pin down to compress the spring 26, allowing the locking pin 23 to enter the sliding hole 22. Then, insert the month indicator block 16 into the first groove 20. After the locking pin 23 enters the first groove 20, it presses against the arc-shaped protrusion 24. When moving the month indicator block 16, the arc-shaped protrusion 24 squeezes the locking pin 23, thereby compressing the spring 26. The month indicator block 16 can then slide in the first groove 20. After the month indicator block 16 is in place, the spring 26 pushes out the locking pin 23, causing its wedge-shaped end to engage with the locking groove 25, preventing the month indicator block 16 from sliding. The working principle of the date indicator block 17 is the same, and will not be described again here.
[0040] After the month indicator block 16 and the date indicator block 17 are installed, the blocking blocks 27 are fixedly installed at both ends of the first groove 20 and the second groove 21 respectively. The blocking blocks 27 can be installed on the base plate 15 with bolts. Bolt installation is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: The finished product storage tank of the fermentation device of this utility model includes multiple tanks that are connected to the liquid inlet pipe through a first valve. When the fermented fermentation liquid is transported to each tank through the liquid inlet pipe, each tank can be controlled by the first valve. The date of entry into each tank can be recorded. Moreover, when a tank malfunctions, the first valve connected to it can be closed to isolate the malfunctioning tank without affecting the use of other tanks.
