Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vinegar brewing technology, specifically to an intelligent energy-saving integrated fermentation machine. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional vinegar brewing processes, the fermentation process usually relies on open or semi-open containers, which has the following problems: High energy consumption: Traditional equipment relies on external heating or mechanical stirring devices to maintain fermentation temperature and mixing uniformity, resulting in high electricity consumption; Insufficient oxygen control: The switching between aerobic and anaerobic stages relies on manual operation, which can easily lead to low fermentation efficiency or unstable product quality due to inaccurate oxygen input; Poor stirring effect: The material in the static fermentation tank (1) is prone to stratification, and the local temperature is uneven, which affects the efficiency of microbial metabolism; Insufficient equipment stability: During long-term operation, the tank is prone to displacement or vibration, which can lead to sealing failure or mechanical wear, increasing maintenance costs.
[0003] In addition, existing equipment often requires staged processing of alcoholic fermentation and acetic acid fermentation, necessitating multiple material transfers, which not only increases the risk of contamination but also extends the production cycle.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an intelligent energy-saving integrated fermentation machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model discloses an intelligent energy-saving integrated fermentation machine. The technical solution adopted includes a fermentation tank and a mounting base. The side walls of the mounting base are all inclinedly fixed with reinforcing plates. The surface of the reinforcing plates is provided with auxiliary stabilizing components for limiting the displacement of the fermentation tank. A mounting rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting base. The surface of the mounting rod is provided with a power component for driving the fermentation tank to rotate. One end of the fermentation tank is provided with an oxygen injection pipe, which extends through an oxygen injection hole in the side wall of the fermentation tank into the interior of the fermentation tank. The middle of the oxygen injection pipe is provided with an oxygen injection valve for isolating the gas transmission of the oxygen injection pipe. The other end of the fermentation tank has a material inlet, and the material inlet is fitted with an outlet cap by an insert-type seal. One end of the interior of the fermentation tank is uniformly provided with mixing protrusions distributed in a spiral pattern. The other end of the interior of the fermentation tank is provided with mixing blades corresponding to the mixing protrusions.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the auxiliary stabilizing components consist of four groups.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the oxygen injection valve is a one-way solenoid valve.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: Intelligent energy saving: The fermentation tank is driven to rotate at a constant speed by a power component. Combined with the internal spiral distribution of mixing protrusions and blades, it achieves low-energy uniform mixing and reduces external energy consumption.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an intelligent energy-saving integrated fermentation machine. The technical solution adopted includes a fermentation tank 1 and a mounting base 2. The side walls of the mounting base 2 are all inclinedly fixed with reinforcing plates 3. The surface of the reinforcing plates 3 is provided with auxiliary stabilizing components 4 for limiting the displacement of the fermentation tank 1. The mounting base 2 is fixedly installed with a mounting rod 14 in the middle. The surface of the mounting rod 14 is provided with a power component 5 for pushing the fermentation tank 1 to rotate. One end of the fermentation tank 1 is provided with an oxygen injection pipe 6, which extends through the oxygen injection hole on the side wall of the fermentation tank 1 and into the interior of the fermentation tank 1. The middle of the oxygen injection pipe 6 is provided with an oxygen injection valve 7 for isolating the gas transmission of the oxygen injection pipe 6. The other end of the fermentation tank 1 is provided with a material port, and the material port is fitted with an outlet cap 10 by insertion sealing. The interior of the fermentation tank 1 is provided with a uniformly arranged spiral distribution of mixing protrusions 8. The interior of the fermentation tank 1 is provided with a mixing blade 9 corresponding to the mixing protrusions 8.
[0016] By adding raw materials into the fermentation tank 1 through the feed inlet and then closing the oxygen injection valve 7 to restrict oxygen entry, an anaerobic environment is created, allowing yeast to convert the sugars in the raw materials into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Then, by activating the power assembly 5, the fermentation tank 1 rotates at a uniform speed. The internally spirally distributed mixing protrusions 8 and mixing blades 9 continuously agitate the materials, ensuring temperature and fermentation uniformity and improving alcohol production efficiency. Simultaneously, the pulleys 12 of the auxiliary stabilizing assembly 4, in conjunction with the track, prevent the fermentation tank 1 from shifting during rotation, ensuring a smooth stirring process. When the alcohol concentration reaches the set value, some alcohol can be extracted through the feed inlet using external equipment such as a distillation device. The remaining alcohol-containing material is retained in the fermentation tank 1 to provide substrate for acetic acid fermentation. Then, the oxygen injection valve 7 is opened, and oxygen is introduced into the fermentation tank 1 through the oxygen injection pipe 6, providing an aerobic environment for the acetic acid bacteria to oxidize the alcohol into acetic acid. The fermentation tank 1 continues to rotate, and the mixing blades 9 and protrusions further mix the materials, accelerating oxygen diffusion and acetic acid bacteria metabolism, thus shortening the fermentation cycle.
[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, there are four sets of auxiliary stabilizing components 4.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the auxiliary stabilizing component 4 includes a pulley 12 seat 11 and a pulley track 13. The pulley 12 seat 11 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the reinforcing plate 3, and the pulley track 13 is correspondingly arranged on the outer side wall of the fermentation tank 1. A pulley 12 that cooperates with the pulley track 13 is rotatably installed inside the pulley 12 seat 11. Through the pulley 12 arranged inside the pulley 12 seat 11, the pulley 12 and the pulley track 13 can be combined and installed, and the rotation of the fermentation tank 1 is limited by the pulley track 13.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the power assembly 5 includes a motor base 15 and an external gear ring 18. The external gear ring 18 is fixedly sleeved on the middle of the outer side wall of the fermentation tank 1. The motor base 15 is disposed on the surface of the mounting rod 14. A motor 16 is installed inside the motor base 15. The output shaft of the motor 16 is fixedly installed with a drive gear 17 that meshes with the external gear ring 18. By starting the motor 16, the motor 16 drives the drive gear 17 to rotate through its output shaft, so that the drive gear 17 drives the external gear ring 18 that it meshes with to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the fermentation tank 1.
[0020] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the oxygen injection valve 7 is a one-way solenoid valve, and the oxygen injection flow rate of the oxygen injection pipe 6 can be controlled by the one-way solenoid valve 7.
[0021] A one-way solenoid valve is an actuator that uses electromagnetic force to control the unidirectional flow of fluid. Its core working principle is as follows: Basic Structure A one-way solenoid valve typically consists of a solenoid coil, valve body, piston or valve core, spring, and sealing components. The valve body has a normally open inlet and an outlet, and an electromagnet and a spring are connected to opposite sides of the piston.
[0022] Work process Energized state: When the coil is energized, it generates electromagnetic force, which attracts the piston to move, opens the oil drain hole channel, and the fluid flows from the oil inlet hole to the designated oil drain pipe.
[0023] Power off state: When the electromagnetic force disappears, the spring or medium pressure pushes the piston back to its original position, closing the oil drain hole and blocking fluid flow.
[0024] Control characteristics Unidirectional: It can only control the flow of fluid in one direction, and the initial position is fixed, which is different from the arbitrary position control of a two-way solenoid valve.
[0025] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Raw materials are added to the fermentation tank 1 through the feed inlet, and then the oxygen injection valve 7 is closed to restrict oxygen intake, creating an anaerobic environment. This allows yeast to convert the sugars in the raw materials into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Then, the motor 16 is started, causing its output shaft to drive the drive gear 17 to rotate. The drive gear 17 then drives the meshing external gear ring 18 to rotate, achieving the rotation of the fermentation tank 1. Simultaneously, the spirally distributed mixing protrusions 8 and mixing blades 9 inside the fermentation tank 1 continuously agitate the materials, ensuring temperature and fermentation uniformity and improving alcohol production efficiency. Furthermore, the sliding mechanism inside the pulley seat 11... Wheel 12 allows for the combined installation of pulley 12 and pulley track 13. The pulley track 13 limits the rotation of fermentation tank 1, preventing it from shifting during rotation and ensuring a stable stirring process. When the alcohol concentration reaches the set value, some alcohol can be extracted through the feed port using external equipment such as a distillation device. The remaining alcohol-containing material is retained in fermentation tank 1 to provide substrate for acetic acid fermentation. Then, oxygen injection valve 7 is opened, and oxygen is introduced into fermentation tank 1 through oxygen injection pipe 6 to provide an aerobic environment for acetic acid bacteria to oxidize alcohol into acetic acid. Fermentation tank 1 continues to rotate, and mixing blade 9 and protrusions further mix the materials, accelerating oxygen diffusion and acetic acid bacteria metabolism, and shortening the fermentation cycle.

[0028] While the specific embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Modifications or variations that do not involve creative labor are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
