[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 - 8 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a production device and production method for highland barley cordyceps vinegar, including a saccharification tank 1 and a fermentation tank 2. The saccharification tank 1 includes a tank body 101 and an upper cover 102. The surface of the tank body 101 is fixedly connected with a saccharified material laying component through a fixing frame 3, which is used to lay the saccharified material into the fermentation tank 2 for fermentation.

[0032] In this implementation scheme, during the laying process, the electric push rod 11 drives the material rolling plate 9 to reciprocate, so that the material pressing tooth blocks 12 extrude the material to be fermented, compact it to a certain extent, and at the same time can leave extrusion marks on the laid material to be fermented. After the next layer is laid, there can be a certain gap between the two layers, which is convenient for subsequent fermentation. At the same time, an air guiding groove 54 is provided on the fermentation tank 2, which can also facilitate subsequent fermentation, prevent surface fermentation, and avoid abnormal internal fermentation, prolonging the fermentation time and increasing the number of turning operations.

[0033] Specifically, the raw vinegar grains return material component includes a return pipe 13 and a pumping pump 14. The pumping pump 14 is fixedly connected to the tank body 101 and is communicated with the inside of the tank body 101. The return pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the feed inlet of the pumping pump 14 through a material electromagnetic valve 15; the fixing frame 3 is a hollow structure. The discharge port of the return pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the inlet of the fixing frame 3, and the outlet of the fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to the recovery pipe 16. The recovery pipe 16 is arranged between the material laying pipe 8 and the material rolling plate 9, and a blocking valve 17 is fixedly connected inside the discharge port of the material laying pipe 8.

[0034] In this implementation scheme, the blocking valve 17 is closed, the material electromagnetic valve 15 is opened, and the pumping pump 14 is started to suck the fermented material into the inside of the tank body 101 through the recovery pipe 16, the fixing frame 3 and the return pipe 13, and the material is turned over through the material circulation and stirring structure.

[0035] Specifically, the material circulation and stirring structure includes a transmission structure arranged on the upper cover 102, a stirring frame 18 and an internal circulation component connected to the transmission structure. The transmission structure includes a driving motor 19, a driving gear 20 fixed on the output shaft of the driving motor and a transmission gear 21 meshing with the driving gear 20; the transmission gear 21 is fixedly sleeved on the transmission frame 22. The transmission frame 22 is connected to the saccharification tank 1 through a connecting bearing, and the transmission frame 22 extends into the inside of the saccharification tank 1 and is connected to the stirring frame 18; the stirring frame 18 includes a connecting rod 1801 and a branch rod 1802 fixed on the connecting rod 1801, and the connecting rod 1801 is connected to the transmission frame 22.

[0036] Specifically, the transmission structure further includes a rotating gear 23 and an internal gear ring 24. The rotating gear 23 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 1801. The connecting rod 1801 is movably connected to the transmission frame 22 through a movable bearing. The transmission gear 21 meshes with the internal gear ring 24. The branch rod 1802 includes an inner rod 18021 and an outer sleeve 18022. The inner rod 18021 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 1801. Heating sheets 25 and temperature sensors 26 are fixedly connected in an array on the inner rod 18021. The outer sleeve 18022 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the inner rod 18021. The upper cover 102 includes an inner cover 1021 and a ring cover 1022. A circular ring 27 is connected between the inner cover 1021 and the ring cover 1022 through a sealing bearing.

The internal gear ring 24 is fixedly connected to the ring cover 1022.

[0037] In this embodiment, during the mixing and stirring process, the storage battery 28 supplies power to supply power to the heating sheets 25 and the temperature sensors 26. The heating sheets 25 can heat, and the temperature sensors 26 can detect the temperature to prevent the temperature from being too high. After mixing and stirring for a period of time, the driving motor 19 is turned off and left to saccharify statically.

[0038] Specifically, the internal circulation component includes a circulation pipe 30 and a circulation pump 31. The circulation pipe 30 includes a main pipe 3001 and a shunt pipe 3002. The main pipe 3001 and the shunt pipe 3002 are integrally formed and internally connected. A feed slot 32 is opened at the bottom of the main pipe 3001. A support member 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main pipe 3001. The support member 33 is fixedly connected to the tank body 101. The circulation pump 31 is fixedly connected to the top of the shunt pipe 3002. The output end of the circulation pump 31 is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe 34 arranged towards the central axis of the stirring frame 18. An embedding pipe 35 is further arranged between the main pipe 3001 and the shunt pipe 3002. The embedding pipe 35 is internally connected to the main pipe 3001 and the shunt pipe 3002. The embedding pipe 35 is movably connected to the transmission frame 22 through a limit bearing and extends to the top of the upper cover 102. An auxiliary circulation component is arranged inside the embedding pipe 35.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the circulation pump 31 is started, the air stop valve 44 is a three-way valve, so that the circulation pump 31 is communicated with the shunt pipe 3002, and the gas distribution pipe 43 is closed and blocked. The highland barley and cordyceps material in the tank body 101 enters the circulation pipe 30 from the feed slot 32 on the main pipe 3001 under the action of the circulation pump 31, and the effect of circulating stirring can be achieved, making the material mix more evenly.

[0040] Specifically, the auxiliary circulation component includes an air vent pipe 36 and an air outlet cover 37 fixed to the bottom of the air vent pipe 36. A filter screen 38 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the air outlet cover 37. The surfaces of the air outlet cover 37 and the filter screen 38 are both movably connected to the inner side wall of the embedded pipe 35. The inner diameter of the embedded pipe 35 is the same as the inner diameter of the main pipe 3001. The bottom of the filter screen 38 is fixedly connected to a tapered block 40 through a fixing rod 39. The surface of the tapered block 40 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the embedded pipe 35. A sealing ring 41 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the air vent pipe 36. The surface of the sealing ring 41 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the embedded pipe 35. An air vent solenoid valve 42 is fixedly connected to the surface of the air outlet cover 37.

[0041] In this embodiment, if other materials need to be added during the saccharification process, they can be added through the opening on the upper cover. However, usually, the opening position of the upper cover is fixed, and the position for adding other materials is also fixed, which is inconvenient for uniform mixing to a certain extent. Moreover, the liquid in the hulless barley cordyceps material during saccharification will deposit at the bottom under the action of gravity, and the hulless barley cordyceps material at the top lacks moisture, which is inconvenient for the dissolution and mixing of the materials. Therefore, the auxiliary circulation component can be used to add materials.

[0042] Specifically, the equipment cleaning component includes a first cleaning structure and a second cleaning structure. The first cleaning structure includes a first liquid delivery pipe 45 and a first return pipe 46. One end of the first liquid delivery pipe 45 is fixedly connected to a first discharge valve 6.

The second cleaning structure includes a second liquid delivery pipe 49 and a second return pipe 50. The second liquid delivery pipe 49 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tank body 101. A liquid inlet valve 51 that fixedly penetrates the tank body 101 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second liquid delivery pipe 49. The second liquid delivery pipe 49 is fixedly connected to the second return pipe 50. The second return pipe 50 is connected to the return pipe 13 through a liquid delivery pipe 52.

The horizontal movement support structure includes a horizontal movement frame 48 and a moving vehicle 47. The horizontal movement frame 48 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving vehicle 47. The lifting cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the horizontal movement frame 48.

[0044] In this implementation, pure water is injected into the interior of the tank body 101. The conical block 40 moves to the bottommost position, and the circulation pump 31 is started. At the same time, the stirring frame 18 rotates to clean the structures inside the tank body 101 by using the water flow. Meanwhile, under the action of the filter screen 38, the residual solid substances are left in the area between the main pipe 3001 and the filter screen 38. The second discharge valve 7 is opened intermittently to discharge the residual solid substances. This is repeated multiple times to discharge all the solid impurities. After that, gas is filled into the interior of the tank body 101, and at the same time, the liquid inlet valve 51 is opened, and the pure water will enter the return pipe 13 and the material spreading pipe 8 for cleaning.

[0045] A production method of highland barley cordyceps vinegar for the above-mentioned production equipment of highland barley cordyceps vinegar includes the following steps: The highland barley cordyceps raw materials are steamed and stewed and then placed into the saccharification tank 1. The material circulation stirring structure stirs and heats the highland barley cordyceps materials to be saccharified. After stirring and heating for a period of time, the stirring and heating are stopped, and after a period of time, the stirring and heating are carried out again; during the saccharification process, the saccharification liquid generated by saccharification is extracted through the material circulation stirring structure, and the extracted saccharification liquid is detected by the detection equipment to obtain the saccharification detection result. If the saccharification detection result is qualified, the saccharification is stopped and discharged through the second discharge valve 7 and collected by an external fermentation material feeding device; the external fermentation material feeding device collects the saccharified highland barley cordyceps materials and spreads them into the fermentation tank 2 through the saccharified material spreading component for fermentation. Every once in a while, the vinegar grains during fermentation are recycled into the saccharification tank 1 through the raw vinegar grains return component for turning the grains and then discharged. This is repeated multiple times to obtain raw vinegar grains; after the raw vinegar grains are smoked, vinegar pouring is carried out through the saccharified material spreading component.

[0046] During use, the highland barley cordyceps materials after steaming and stewing are fed through the feed inlet on the upper cover 102. The drive motor 19 is started, and the driving gear 20 and the driven gear drive the transmission frame 22 to rotate, so that the connecting rod 1801 rotates synchronously. The connecting rod 1801 rotates under the action of the rotating gear 23 and the internal gear ring 24, so that the branch rod 1802 rotates around the connecting rod 1801 to stir the highland barley cordyceps materials. At the same time, the circulation pump 31 is started. The air stop valve 44 is a three-way valve, which connects the circulation pump 31 to the shunt pipe 3002, and the gas distribution pipe 43 is closed and blocked. The highland barley cordyceps materials in the tank body 101 enter the circulation pipe 30 from the feed slot 32 on the main pipe 3001 under the action of the circulation pump 31, which can achieve the effect of circulating stirring and make the materials mix more evenly.

[0047] During the mixing process, the storage battery 28 supplies power, which can supply power to the heating sheet 25 and the temperature sensor 26. The heating sheet 25 can heat, and the temperature sensor 26 can detect the temperature to prevent the temperature from being too high. After mixing for a period of time, the drive motor 19 is turned off and left to saccharify statically. Additionally, if other materials need to be added during the saccharification process, they can be added through the opening on the upper cover. However, usually, the position of the opening on the upper cover is fixed, and the position for adding other materials is also fixed, which is not convenient for uniform mixing to a certain extent. Moreover, the liquid in the hulless barley cordyceps material during saccharification will deposit at the bottom under the action of gravity, and the hulless barley cordyceps material at the top lacks moisture, which is not conducive to the dissolution and mixing of the materials. Therefore, an auxiliary circulation component can be used to add materials.

[0048] The inside of the ventilation pipe 36 is hollow and can be lifted by an external lifting device. And a sealing cover can be configured at the topmost end of the ventilation pipe 36 to be sealed when not in use. When other materials need to be added, they will be sent into the inside from the top of the ventilation pipe 36 and stay inside the air outlet cover 37 under the action of the filter screen 38. In the case where other materials need to be added before saccharification, the initial position of the conical block 40 is at the top of the connection between the main pipe 3001 and the shunt pipe 3002, closing the main pipe 3001. In the case where no other materials need to be added, the initial position of the conical block 40 is at the bottommost part where the embedding pipe 35 contacts the shunt pipe 3002, closing the embedding pipe 35.

[0049] After placing the hulless barley cordyceps material to be saccharified into the inside of the tank body 101, under the action of pressure, the hulless barley cordyceps material will enter the inside of the main pipe 3001 and contact the bottom of the conical block 40. Then the external lifting device moves the ventilation pipe 36 downward. At this time, the circulation pump 31 does not work, and the conical block 40 squeezes the hulless barley cordyceps material in the main pipe 3001 and extrudes it through the feed trough 32. When the conical block 40 touches the support member 33, the ventilation pipe 36 stops moving. At this time, the sealing ring 41 on the ventilation pipe 36 is at the lowermost end of the embedding pipe 35, closing the embedding pipe 35. The hulless barley cordyceps material will enter the inside of the main pipe 3001 through the feed trough 32. Under the action of the filter screen 38, solid substances cannot enter the inside of the main pipe 3001, but the liquid in the hulless barley cordyceps material will enter the inside of the air outlet cover 37 and the ventilation pipe 36 through the filter screen 38 and mix with the materials to be added, and the materials dissolve in the liquid.

[0050] Afterwards, the ventilation pipe 36 moves upward. During the upward movement, the liquid entering the ventilation pipe 36 will, under the action of gravity, partially flow back into the tank body 101, and the part that has not had time to flow back will be blocked inside the main pipe 3001 by the tapered block 40 and move upward. When the height of the filter screen 38 exceeds the height of the main pipe 3001, the liquid flows out of the ventilation pipe 36 under the action of gravity and enters the inside of the shunt pipe 3002. After the tapered block 40 moves to the top of the main pipe 3001, it moves downward again, and most of the liquid will remain in the shunt pipe. After the tapered block 40 moves to the bottom, the liquid enters the ventilation pipe 36 again to melt the remaining undissolved materials. After repeating this several times, the materials are dissolved in the liquid in advance. Finally, the tapered block 40 moves to the top of the main pipe 3001 and stops moving. The circulation pump 31 is started to pump out the liquid in the shunt pipe 3002 and the ventilation pipe 36. In order to facilitate the flow of the liquid, gas can be injected into the ventilation pipe 36 during the start-up of the circulation pump 31 to assist in pumping the liquid. After the liquid pumping is completed, the tapered block 40 moves upward and is placed at the bottom of the embedded pipe 35. The hulless barley cordyceps materials to be saccharified enter the shunt pipe 3002, and the circulation stirring starts. Since the added materials are dissolved in the liquid in advance, the mixing can be accelerated, which is more conducive to saccharification.

[0051] After saccharification is completed, the saccharified hulless barley cordyceps materials need to be discharged. At this time, the second discharge valve 7 is opened, and the saccharified hulless barley cordyceps materials are automatically discharged under the action of gravity. In order to increase the discharge speed, an air pump can be fixedly connected to the upper cover 102, and the air pump inflates the inside of the tank body 101 with gas. Under the action of air pressure, the materials in the tank body 101 are discharged at an accelerated speed. Since there will also be residues in the main pipe 3001 and the shunt pipe 3002, in order to discharge smoothly, gas is filled into the ventilation pipe 36, and at the same time, the ventilation solenoid valve 42 on the air outlet cover 37 is opened, and the gas enters the inside of the embedded pipe 35. At the same time, the air stop valve 44 connects the branch air pipe 43 with the shunt pipe 3002, and the gas squeezes the materials to achieve the smooth discharge of the materials.

[0052] During the saccharification process, sampling can be carried out through the ventilation pipe 36. Specifically, before each preparation for circulation stirring, the ventilation pipe 36 moves downward, and the tapered block 40 is separated from the embedded pipe 35. The materials will contact the filter screen 38, but the filter screen only allows the liquid to pass through. Therefore, there will be liquid in the ventilation pipe 36. At this time, sampling can be carried out through an external sampling pipe to detect the components of the liquid. If the detection is qualified, the saccharification is completed. If the detection is unqualified, the saccharification continues.

[0053] The peripheral fermented material feeding device is connected to the spreading pipe 8 through a connecting piece. The blocking valve 17 on the spreading pipe 8 is opened. The horizontal moving support structure and the lifting cylinder 4 can adjust the position of the fixing frame 3 in real time to realize the automatic laying of the to-be-fermented material, and the to-be-fermented material is laid layer by layer from the bottom of the fermentation tank 2 upwards step by step. During the laying process, the electric push rod 11 drives the material rolling plate 9 to reciprocate, so that the material pressing tooth blocks 12 extrude the to-be-fermented material, compact it to a certain extent, and at the same time can leave extrusion marks on the laid to-be-fermented material. After the next layer is laid, there can be a certain gap between the two layers, which is convenient for subsequent fermentation. At the same time, an air guiding groove 54 is provided on the fermentation tank 2, which can also be convenient for subsequent fermentation, prevent surface fermentation while the internal fermentation is abnormal, extend the fermentation time and increase the number of turning operations.

[0054] After fermenting for a period of time, the position of the fixing frame 3 is adjusted through the horizontal moving support structure and the lifting cylinder 4. The material rolling plate 9 and the material pressing tooth blocks 12 are disengaged from the end of the spreading pipe 8 under the action of the electric push rod 11. At the same time, the blocking valve 17 is closed, the material solenoid valve 15 is opened, and the pumping pump 14 is started to suck the fermented material into the interior of the tank body 101 through the recovery pipe 16, the fixing frame 3 and the return pipe 13, and the material is turned over through the material circulation and stirring structure. Finally, it is discharged through the second discharge valve 7.

[0055] After the saccharification is completed and after each turning operation is completed, the equipment can be cleaned through the equipment cleaning component. Pure water is injected into the interior of the tank body 101. The conical block 40 moves to the bottommost position, the circulation pump 31 is started, and at the same time the stirring frame 18 rotates to clean the structure inside the tank body 101 by using the water flow. At the same time, under the action of the filter screen 38, the residual solid substances are left in the area between the main pipe 3001 and the filter screen 38. The second discharge valve 7 is opened intermittently to discharge the residual solid substances. Repeat multiple times to discharge all the solid impurities. Then, gas is filled into the interior of the tank body 101, and at the same time the liquid inlet valve 51 is opened, and pure water will enter the return pipe 13 and the spreading pipe 8 for cleaning.

[0056] In addition, during the vinegar dripping stage, the equipment cleaning component can also be used for treatment. The liquid added by the heating sheet is discharged from the spreading pipe 8 or the recovery pipe 16. Under the action of the material pressing tooth blocks 12, the liquid is further dispersed and evenly dripped on the raw vinegar grains, and is discharged through the liquid discharge valve 53.
