Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sampling device equipment for fermentation tanks, and specifically to a sampling device for a fermentation tank used in grain brewing. Background Art

[0002] To facilitate the accurate adjustment of the temperature and pressure of the fermentation tank, the staff needs to regularly sample and analyze the fermented liquor. In the prior art, the sampling device on the fermentation tank is relatively primitive. Usually, a connecting pipe is arranged inside the sampling hole, and a valve is installed on the connecting pipe. When sampling is required, the staff can open the valve to make the liquor in the fermentation tank flow out.

[0003] The application number is CN202211342795.5, which discloses a sampling device for a wine fermentation tank, including: a sampling pipe, a switching sleeve and a sampling piston. The sampling pipe is arranged inside the sampling hole of the fermentation tank. An installation ring is provided on the side wall of the sampling pipe. A sampling hole is provided on the top side wall of the installation ring, and a sample outlet hole is provided on the bottom side wall of the installation ring. A sieve plate is also arranged inside the sampling pipe, and the sieve plate is located between the installation ring and the first end of the sampling pipe. The switching sleeve is rotatably sleeved outside the installation ring. A sample outlet pipe is provided on the side wall of the switching sleeve, and a control valve is provided on the sample outlet pipe. The sampling piston is arranged inside the sampling pipe, and the outer diameter of the sampling piston is equal to the inner diameter of the sampling pipe. The sampling device for a wine fermentation tank described in the present invention can avoid the growth of miscellaneous bacteria due to residual liquor and can intercept solid substances.

[0004] Although such a setting can avoid the growth of miscellaneous bacteria due to residual liquor and can intercept solid substances, in the prior art or in this setting, usually opening the valve can make the liquor in the fermentation tank flow out, which is time-consuming and laborious. During the fermentation process, intermittent sampling is carried out by using the carbon dioxide pressure generated during the fermentation process. Summary of the Invention
