Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aged vinegar brewing, specifically a method for testing the microbial content during the aged vinegar brewing process. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing process of aged vinegar, raw materials are placed in a fermentation tank. As the raw materials ferment continuously, the microbial content inside the tank changes, thus altering the brewing state of the aged vinegar. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently test the microbial content in the fermentation tank. During the testing process, a certain amount of vinegar liquid is extracted from the fermentation tank using extraction methods, such as syringes. The extracted vinegar liquid is then added to a microbial content detector to test the microbial content in the vinegar liquid. This facilitates the control of the fermentation state in the fermentation tank. However, the following drawbacks still exist:

[0003] Because the fermentation tank is quite deep, the microbial content at different depths may vary. If vinegar solution is randomly sampled for testing, the test results may be inaccurate. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, the movable plate has a through groove inside, and a second rod is inserted into the through groove. The second rod is inserted into the inside of a second slot, which is located inside the extraction body. The through groove has slots on both the front and back sides. Card blocks are installed at equal intervals on both sides of the second rod. The card blocks are adapted to the card slots and are located above the card slots.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing plate is installed at the top of the second insertion rod, and limit blocks are symmetrically installed on both sides of the fixing plate. A throttle is installed at the top of the top plate, and the throttle contacts the limit blocks.

[0014] Preferably, a method for testing the microbial content in the brewing process of aged vinegar includes the following steps:

[0015] 1. Insert the extraction unit into the fermentation tank;

[0016] 2. Push the partition outward to displace the rice grains on the outside of the liquid inlet tank away from the extractor body, and the vinegar solution enters between the partition and the liquid inlet tank through the connecting hole;

[0017] 3. Push the piston to move, drawing the vinegar from the outside into the storage tank;

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] (1) In this invention, the first connecting rod moves downward, causing the first rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the piston to move into the storage cylinder, drawing vinegar into the storage cylinder for storage, which facilitates the extraction of vinegar.

[0022] (2) After the second insert rod moves downward, it pushes the moving plate downward, causing the second rotating rod to rotate and push the partition to move outward, thereby squeezing out the rice grains and other particles on the outside of the liquid inlet. At this time, the vinegar enters between the partition and the liquid inlet, thus preventing the rice grains from blocking the liquid inlet and facilitating the extraction of the vinegar.

[0023] (3) After the vinegar is extracted by the storage cylinder, the second insert rod is rotated to the position where the card block and the card slot are matched, so that the moving plate moves back under the elastic force of the spring and drives the partition to move back, so that the stopper enters the liquid inlet and blocks the outlet of the storage cylinder, thereby preventing the extracted vinegar from leaking out.

[0037] A method for testing the microbial content in the brewing process of aged vinegar includes the following steps:

[0038] 1. Insert the extraction unit 1 into the fermentation tank;

[0039] 2. Push the partition 4025 outward to expel the rice grains on the side of the liquid inlet tank 305 away from the extractor body 1. The vinegar solution enters between the partition 4025 and the liquid inlet tank 305 through the connecting hole 4027.

[0040] Third, push the piston 309 to move, drawing the external vinegar into the reservoir 306;

[0041] Fourth, the partition 4025 is moved back, so that the stopper 4026 on the partition 4025 enters the liquid inlet tank 305, seals the liquid storage cylinder 306, and removes the extraction body 1.

[0042] 5. Move the partition 4025 outward and push the piston 309 outward to squeeze out the vinegar in the storage cylinder 306. Add the vinegar from multiple storage cylinders 306 to the microbial content detector in sequence to detect the microbial content in the vinegar at different depths.

[0043] Working principle: During use, the extractor 1 is inserted into the fermentation jar through the insert head 2. At this time, there are rice grains and vinegar liquid in the fermentation jar. Then, the second insert rod 4037 is pressed down. At this time, the locking block 4038 on the second insert rod 4037 is located above the moving plate 4033. After the second insert rod 4037 moves down, it pushes the moving plate 4033 down, thereby causing the second rotating rod 4039 to rotate and push the partition plate 4025 to move outward, thereby squeezing out the rice grains and other substances on the outside of the liquid inlet trough 305. At this time, the vinegar liquid enters between the partition plate 4025 and the liquid inlet trough 305, thereby preventing the rice grains from blocking the liquid inlet trough 305 and facilitating the extraction of vinegar liquid.

[0044] When the partition 4025 moves outward, it pushes the top plate 304 downward, thereby causing the first connecting rod 303 to move downward. Then, the connecting shaft 313 moves downward, causing the end of the first rotating rod 312 connected to the connector 311 to rotate upward, thereby causing the piston 309 to move into the storage cylinder 306, thereby drawing the vinegar into the storage cylinder 306 for storage. Multiple storage cylinders 306 are equidistantly arranged on the extraction body 1, thereby enabling the extraction of vinegar at different depths and improving the accuracy of the detection structure for the microbial content in the vinegar.

[0045] After the storage cylinder 306 has finished extracting the vinegar, the second insert rod 4037 is rotated so that the locking block 4038 on the outside of the second insert rod 4037 matches the locking groove 4036 on the moving plate 4033. At this time, the moving plate 4033 moves back under the elastic force of the spring 4034, and then drives the partition 4025 to move back through the second rotating rod 4039, so that the stopper 4026 enters the liquid inlet 305, thereby blocking the outlet of the storage cylinder 306 and preventing the extracted vinegar from leaking out.

[0046] Remove the extraction body 1, lift the second insertion rod 4037 and rotate it so that the locking block 4038 returns to its original state. Then move the second insertion rod 4037 downward, causing the partition plate 4025 to move outward, and moving the stopper 4026 out of the liquid inlet tank 305. Then pull back the top plate 304 so that the piston 309 moves back, thereby squeezing out the vinegar in each liquid storage cylinder 306. Then put the extracted vinegar into the microbial content detector in sequence for microbial content detection.
