Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fermentation equipment technology, specifically to a fermentation equipment suitable for fruit wine production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit wines are rich in antioxidants, such as vitamin C, polyphenols, and flavonoids. These antioxidants can neutralize free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and prevent or delay cell and tissue damage, thus exhibiting excellent antioxidant effects. Furthermore, fruit wines retain some of the nutrients from the fruit during fermentation, so moderate consumption can help supplement vitamins and minerals.

[0003] Referring to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN208430130U, a fruit wine fermentation device is described. By incorporating a stirring device and a crushing device, washed fruit is fed into the fermentation tank through a feeding funnel. A drive motor rotates the shaft, which in turn rotates the stirring and crushing devices. Crushing blades and spiral blades crush the fruit, while stirring blades agitate the mixture, achieving good crushing and uniform mixing, which is beneficial for fruit fermentation and improves the processing quality of the fruit wine. A heater and a condenser are added. After the fruit is crushed and mixed evenly, the heater heats the fermentation tank, increasing the fermentation efficiency. A suction fan extracts the fermented alcohol vapor into the condenser, where it is condensed using a condenser pipe. The condensed fruit wine is then transported to a collection tank through a collection pipe. The device features a simple structure and high production efficiency.

[0004] A comprehensive analysis of the above patents reveals the following drawbacks:

[0005] In current fruit wine fermentation processes, pulp, pits, and other residues are mixed together. Drinking this directly affects the taste of the fruit wine. To improve the taste, the fermented pulp needs to be filtered and separated. However, most current fruit wine fermentation equipment lacks the function of separating the pulp, requiring further filtration and separation. This makes the fruit wine fermentation process cumbersome and complex, reducing production efficiency. For example, in a fruit wine fermentation device with patent publication number CN208430130U, the pulp, pits, and other residues are mixed together in the fermentation tank, making it impossible to quickly separate the liquid from the pulp. Furthermore, residual fruit wine in the pulp cannot be separated, resulting in waste. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing. It solves the problem that existing fruit wine fermentation equipment does not have the function of separating fruit pomace. After fruit wine fermentation, fruit pulp, pits and other residues are mixed together, requiring further filtration and separation of the fruit pomace.

[0017] Beneficial effects

[0018] This invention provides a fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. A fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, comprising a fermentation component for providing space for fruit wine fermentation, wherein a fermentation component is provided on one side of the front of the support assembly, the fermentation component includes a fermentation tank, a cover plate disposed on the top of the fermentation tank, and protrusions uniformly fixed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank, a sealing ring for improving sealing ability is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the cover plate, and a through hole is opened at the center of the top of the cover plate, and an annular limiting groove is opened on the inner wall of the through hole, the fermentation component is provided with a fruit processing mechanism for crushing and filtering the fruit wine fermentation raw materials, and a drive component for driving the fruit processing mechanism to rotate is disposed on the top of the cover plate, the drive component including... The device includes a servo motor, a drive gear, a mounting bracket, and a semi-gear ring. The servo motor is connected to a cover plate via the mounting bracket. The drive gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. The mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate on the side away from the servo motor. The semi-gear ring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting bracket. This device solves the problem that existing fruit wine fermentation equipment lacks the function of separating fruit pomace. After fruit wine fermentation, pulp, pits, and other residues are mixed together, requiring further filtration and separation of the pomace. This makes the fruit wine fermentation process cumbersome and complex, reduces the efficiency of fruit wine production, and causes waste of wine because the fruit wine remaining in the pomace cannot be separated.

[0020] 2. A fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, comprising a pulverizing mechanism including a fruit pulp discharge component for controlling the release and pulverizing of fruit wine raw materials and a crushing mechanism disposed on top of the fruit pulp discharge component for pulverizing the fruit wine raw materials. The pulverizing mechanism allows for direct pulverization of the fruit to be fermented. Furthermore, the upper and lower pulverizing components enable two-stage pulverization of the fruit, achieving a bidirectional pulverization effect, ensuring the pulverized fruit meets the requirements for fruit wine fermentation. Secondly, the fruit pulverization process is completed immediately after the fruit is added to the fermentation device, eliminating the need for separate manual pulverization. This not only reduces the labor intensity of workers but also avoids the risk of introducing contaminants during manual pulverization, ensuring the quality of the fruit wine fermentation process.

[0021] 3. A fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, comprising a fruit processing mechanism including a dispensing component, a fermentation cylinder component uniformly and detachably disposed on the outer wall of the dispensing component for storing fruit wine fermentation raw materials, and a crushing mechanism disposed on the top of the dispensing component for crushing the fruit wine raw materials. The crushing mechanism is provided with a hopper component for storing the fruit wine raw materials to be crushed on the top, the hopper component including a storage hopper and a sealing cover, a sealing ring being provided at the connection between the storage hopper and the sealing cover, the fruit crushing is located inside the crushing mechanism, the fruit to be crushed is in the storage hopper, the cover can isolate the storage hopper from the outside air, avoid the fruit from contacting the outside air, ensure the cleanliness of the fruit during the crushing process, and avoid the fruit being interfered with by external bacteria.

[0022] 4. A fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, wherein a servo motor drives a drive gear to rotate. Since the drive gear and the gear ring are meshed, the servo motor can achieve the purpose of driving the entire fruit processing mechanism to rotate by reciprocating within a 45-degree angle range. Furthermore, since the half gear ring and the fourth bevel gear are meshed, the half gear ring can drive the fourth bevel gear to rotate, providing power for the operation of the upper and lower crushing components. Secondly, when the crushing mechanism reciprocates, it can synchronously drive the storage hopper to shake, thereby accelerating the speed at which the fruit in the storage hopper enters the crushing mechanism, avoiding blockage caused by the mutual squeezing of the fruit, and allowing the fruit to smoothly enter the crushing mechanism for crushing.

[0023] 5. A fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, wherein the fruit pulp discharge assembly includes multiple distribution pipes arranged in a ring array and guide rings commonly sleeved on the outer walls of the multiple distribution pipes. The guide rings are rotatably connected within an annular limiting groove. A partition is rotatably connected inside each of the multiple distribution pipes. The top of each partition has uniformly distributed through holes corresponding to the opening positions of the tops of the multiple distribution pipes. A sealing assembly for controlling the opening and closing of the through holes is provided on the top of the partition. The sealing assembly includes a cylinder, blocks, baffle plates, a drive shaft, and a drive block. The cylinder is rotatably connected to the top of the partition. Two blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the cylinder. Multiple baffle plates are uniformly fixedly connected to the side walls of the cylinder. The top of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first crushing shaft, and the drive shaft is rotatably connected inside the cylinder. Both sides of the outer wall of the drive shaft are fixedly connected to drive blocks. When the first crushing shaft rotates within a 45-degree range, it synchronously drives the drive shaft to rotate. The drive blocks cannot meet the stop blocks. Therefore, the stop blocks can block the through holes, preventing the incompletely crushed fruit from being discharged directly, thus achieving a temporary sealing and storage effect. Secondly, after the crushing mechanism finishes working and the servo motor shaft position is reset, it rotates 50 degrees clockwise. The drive blocks push the stop blocks to make the cylinder rotate, thereby removing the stop plates from the through holes at the top of the partition. This allows the crushed fruit pulp to be discharged evenly through multiple through holes, achieving the purpose of controlling material discharge.

[0024] 6. A fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, comprising a fermentation cylinder assembly with multiple detachable material distribution components, allows for the separate storage of crushed fruit in multiple storage cylinders. During fermentation, the fruit wine produced can be discharged through filter holes on the surface of the storage cylinders, while fruit pulp, pits, and other impurities are retained within the storage cylinders for filtration. Furthermore, the fermentation cylinder assembly can be disassembled after fermentation to facilitate the cleaning of residual fruit pulp and pits for future use. After fermentation, a hydraulic cylinder can lift the storage mechanism, aligning the piston rod and protrusion. When the servo motor drives the storage mechanism to rotate 70 degrees, the piston rod, pushed by the protrusion, further moves the piston plate, squeezing the fruit pulp inside the storage cylinders. This squeezes out residual liquid from the pulp, preventing waste of fruit wine and reducing the difficulty of subsequent processing of fermentation residues. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] This invention provides three technical solutions:

[0043] like Figure 1-8The first embodiment is shown: a fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, including a support assembly 1.

Limiting frames 414 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the support plate 411 and on both sides of the material guide nozzles 413. The bottom of the material distribution hole 412 is higher on the side away from the material guide nozzle 413 than on the other side, so that the fruit fragments can be automatically discharged under their own gravity.

[0044] like Figure 9-10The second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is that: a fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, the fermentation tank assembly 42 includes a storage tank 421, filter holes evenly distributed on the outer wall of the storage tank 421, and a mounting plate 422 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the storage tank 421. An inlet for the fruit wine fermentation raw materials is provided at one end of the storage tank 421 near the mounting plate 422. A baffle 423 is detachably installed on the inlet by bolts, and a feed inlet 424 is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the baffle 423. A piston plate 425 is slidably connected inside the storage cylinder 421. A piston rod 426 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the piston plate 425. A ball bearing 427 is rotatably connected to the end of the piston rod 426 away from the piston plate 425. A spring 428 is sleeved on the outer wall of the piston rod 426 between the ball bearing 427 and the piston plate 425. The mounting plate 422 is slidably connected inside the limiting frame 414. After the mounting plate 422 is slidably connected inside the limiting frame 414, the feed inlet 424 and the guide nozzle 413 face each other, which facilitates the entry of fruit wine raw materials.

[0045] like Figure 11-15The third embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the second embodiment is that: a fermentation device suitable for fruit wine production and processing, the crushing mechanism 43 includes a fruit pulp discharge component 431 for controlling the release of crushed fruit wine raw materials and a crushing mechanism disposed on top of the fruit pulp discharge component 431 for crushing the fruit wine raw materials. The crushing mechanism includes a crushing cylinder 432 fixedly connected to the top of the fruit pulp discharge component 431 and a toothed ring 433 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the crushing cylinder 432. A lower crushing component and an upper crushing component are respectively disposed above and below the interior of the crushing cylinder 432, as well as a transmission component for driving the lower crushing component and the upper crushing component. The lower crushing component, the upper crushing component, and the transmission component are all sleeved together by a transmission box 431 for preventing fruit pulp from entering. The lower crushing assembly includes a first crushing shaft 434, a first bevel gear 435, and a first crushing blade 436. The first crushing shaft 434 is rotatably connected to the inside of the crushing cylinder 432. The first bevel gear 435 is fixedly connected to the top end of the first crushing shaft 434. The first crushing blade 436 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first crushing shaft 434. The transmission box 4310 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the crushing cylinder 432 via a bracket. The drive gear 6 and the gear ring 433 are meshed. The upper crushing assembly includes a second crushing shaft 437, a second bevel gear 438, and a second crushing blade 439. The second crushing shaft 437 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the first crushing shaft 434. The second bevel gear 438 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the second crushing shaft 437. The transmission assembly includes a third bevel gear 439. Gear 4311, first gear 4312, second gear 4313, drive shaft 4314, and fourth bevel gear 4315 are connected. The third bevel gear 4311 meshes with the second bevel gear 438 and the first bevel gear 435 respectively. The first gear 4312 is fixedly connected to the end of the third bevel gear 4311 away from the second bevel gear 438. The second gear 4313 meshes with the first gear 4312. The drive shaft 4314 is fixedly connected to one end of the second gear 4313. The drive shaft 4314 rotates through the crushing cylinder 432 and extends to the outside. The outer diameter of the second gear 4313 is larger than that of the first gear 4312, which can increase the relative speed of the first gear 4312 when the second gear 4313 rotates. The fourth bevel gear 4315 meshes with the half-gear ring 8. The pulp discharge assembly 431 includes multiple distribution pipes a1 arranged in a ring array and guide rings a2 sleeved on the outer walls of the multiple distribution pipes a1. The guide rings a2 are rotatably connected in an annular limiting groove. A partition plate a3 is rotatably connected inside the multiple distribution pipes a1. The top of the partition plate a3 has through holes that correspond one-to-one with the opening positions of the tops of the multiple distribution pipes a1. A sealing assembly for controlling the opening and closing of the through holes is provided on the top of the partition plate a3. The sealing assembly includes a cylinder a4, a stop block a5, a baffle plate a6, a drive shaft a7, and a drive block a8. The cylinder a4 is rotatably connected to the top of the partition plate a3 via a rotating shaft. A torsion spring is provided between the rotating shaft and the partition plate a3 to allow the cylinder a4 to return to its original position after rotating a certain angle. Two stop blocks a5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the cylinder a4.Multiple baffles a6 are evenly and fixedly connected to the side wall of the cylinder a4. The top end of the drive shaft a7 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first crushing shaft 434, and the drive shaft a7 is rotatably connected inside the cylinder a4. Drive blocks a8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the drive shaft a7. The distribution pipe a1 includes a pipe body a11 and a clearance groove a12 opened on the side wall of the pipe body a11. The partition plate a3 and the baffles a6 are both disposed inside the clearance groove a12.

[0046] In use, first wash the fruit and let it air dry. Then, take a certain amount of washed fruit, sprinkle yeast and other additives evenly on it, and put it into the storage hopper 44. This ensures that when the fruit is evenly distributed into each storage cylinder 421 after crushing, the top of the fruit will not exceed the lowest point of the inlet 424, preventing the fruit from overflowing. Next, use the hydraulic cylinder 14 to drive the fruit processing mechanism 4 into the fermentation tank 2. The cover plate 3 seals the top of the fermentation tank 2. Then, start the servo motor 5 to drive the drive gear 6 to rotate back and forth within a 45-degree range. At this time, the drive block a8 and the stop block a5 are not in contact. Since the drive gear 6 and the gear ring 433 are meshed, the fruit processing mechanism 4 rotates as a whole. And since the half gear ring 8 and the fourth bevel gear 4315 are meshed, therefore... The fourth bevel gear 4315 drives the transmission shaft 4314 to rotate, and the second gear 4313 drives the first gear 4312 to rotate. The radius of the second gear 4313 is larger than that of the first gear 4312, allowing the first gear 4312 to rotate rapidly. The third bevel gear 4311 simultaneously meshes with the second bevel gear 438 and the first bevel gear 435, thus simultaneously driving the first crushing shaft 434 and the second crushing shaft 437 to rotate. The first crushing blade 436 and the second crushing blade 439 can rotate synchronously in opposite directions, crushing the fruit entering the crushing cylinder 432. The crushed fruit is concentrated at the bottom of the crushing cylinder 432. When the crushing time reaches the set time, the output shaft of the servo motor 5 returns to its original position, ensuring transmission... The minimum included angle between the two drive blocks a8 on the outer wall of shaft a7 and the nearby stop block a5 is 45 degrees. Then, the 4-degree motor 5 rotates 50 degrees clockwise, so that the drive block a8 can push the stop block a5 to rotate, thereby exposing the through hole on the partition plate a3. The crushed fruit enters the distribution pipe a1 through the through hole and then enters the distribution assembly 41 through the distribution pipe a1. The crushed fruit pulp enters the storage cylinder 421 through multiple guide nozzles 413, and the height of the top of the fruit in each storage cylinder 421 is less than the lowest position of the inlet 424. After fermentation is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 14 is activated again to lift the fruit processing mechanism to a certain height, so that the height of the piston rod 426 is the same as the position of the protrusion 9, and the servo motor 5... After the crushing operation is completed, the piston rod 426 is positioned between the two protrusions 9. At this time, the servo motor 5 is restarted to drive the fruit processing mechanism 4 to rotate within a 70-degree range. The protrusions 9 push the piston rod 426 to move, and the piston plate 425 moves along the inner wall of the storage cylinder 421 towards the baffle 423. The fruit residue inside the storage cylinder 421 is squeezed by the piston plate 425 and the baffle 423. The squeezed-out fruit wine is squeezed into the fermentation tank 2 through the filter hole. The fruit wine is discharged through the discharge pipe at the bottom of the fermentation tank 2. Then, the fruit processing mechanism 4 is pulled out using the hydraulic cylinder. The fermentation cylinder assembly 42 is then manually removed from the limit frame 414. The baffle 423 is removed from the storage cylinder 421, and the fruit residue inside is cleaned for the next use.
