These bubbles remain in the vinegar for a long time during subsequent transportation, thus affecting the shelf life of the vinegar. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a vinegar-making and fermentation machine for kudzu root vinegar production, thereby solving the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a vinegar-making and fermentation machine for producing kudzu root vinegar, comprising a support frame, a conveyor fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a motor provided on one side of the conveyor, a conveyor belt provided inside the conveyor, the motor being electrically connected to the conveyor belt, a baffle fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor, and a conveying mechanism provided on the top of the conveyor belt;

[0007] The conveying mechanism includes:

[0008] A base plate, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt, and a V-shaped plate fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. The inner wall of the V-shaped plate has a groove, and the base plate is used to connect the V-shaped plate and the conveyor belt.

[0009] A sliding plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of a groove. The sliding plate is a rectangular plate structure. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to one side of the V-shaped plate. The sliding plate is a V-shaped plate structure. The sliding plate and the baffle are used to hold vinegar liquid.

[0010] Preferably, a long groove is provided on one side of the V-shaped plate, the long groove is rectangular, a counterweight plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate, and a guide groove is provided on one side of the V-shaped plate.

[0011] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the counterweight plate, a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0012] Preferably, the left side of the V-shaped plate is provided with an anti-corrosion mechanism, which includes a first scraper. The first scraper is a long strip structure. The first scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate by a small slider. The first scraper is slidably connected to the outer wall of the V-shaped plate by a sliding groove.

[0013] Preferably, a first pull rope is fixedly connected to one side of the first scraper, and a second scraper is fixedly connected to one end of the first pull rope.

[0014] Preferably, a second pull rope is fixedly connected to the top of the second scraper, and a third scraper is fixedly connected to one end of the second pull rope. One side of the third scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the V-shaped plate.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the second scraper is slidably connected to the top of the conveyor belt via a guide groove, and an elastic rope is fixedly connected to one side of the third scraper, with one end of the elastic rope fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped plate.

[0016] Preferably, both the third scraper and the second scraper are elongated strips, the elastic rope is used to reset the third scraper, the first scraper and the sliding plate are magnetic and opposite poles attract each other, and the side of the first scraper and the sliding plate that is close to each other is in contact with the V-shaped plate through ball bearings.

[0017] This invention provides a vinegar-making and fermentation machine for kudzu root vinegar production, belonging to the technical field of food industrial processing and intelligent manufacturing equipment, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This invention, by setting up a conveying mechanism, completes the final discharge of vinegar liquid with the guidance of the sliding plate. The automatic blocking of vinegar by the sliding plate can buffer the vinegar liquid from rushing into the container in the vehicle, avoiding the problem that the vinegar directly rushes into the container and causes excessive impact, splashing out a large amount of water and excessive contact with air, trapping a large number of air bubbles, which remain in the vinegar for a long time and thus affect the preservation quality of the vinegar. Through this stepped guiding and pouring method, the vinegar liquid can be stably and effectively preserved after being transported and loaded into the vehicle.

[0019] 2. By setting up a conveying mechanism, the present invention guides the vinegar liquid to one end through the automatic extension of the sliding plate, which helps the vinegar liquid to be discharged further. This allows the conveyor belt to extend outwards from the position where the vinegar liquid is poured, ensuring that all the vinegar liquid can be poured into the vehicle and avoiding the problem of vinegar liquid spillage and splashing.

[0020] 3. By setting up a conveying mechanism, when a large amount of vinegar flows down from the right half of the V-shaped plate, the curved plate will pre-guide the vinegar flow to ensure stable vinegar discharge. At the same time, the vinegar will flow down through several long grooves opened on the V-shaped plate, which will divert the vinegar flow in multiple directions, making the area of ​​vinegar discharge onto the sliding plate larger. The sliding plate can buffer the vinegar discharge as much as possible, and the flow guide grooves will stably and evenly guide the vinegar for loading, further improving the stability of the vinegar discharge flow position.

[0021] 4. By setting up a conveying mechanism, when the guide channel is close to a horizontal state, the weight of the guide channel and the counterweight plate cannot overcome the spring force. At this time, the spring force will rebound and pop out the sliding plate. There is no need to push out the sliding plate when it is tilted. This achieves early extension so that when the vinegar is poured down, the sliding plate has a sufficient extension area to complete the stepped buffering and guiding.

[0022] 5. This invention, by setting up an anti-corrosion mechanism, uses a second pull rope to drive a third scraper to scrape the right side of the V-shaped plate. This enables self-cleaning of the three surfaces at the point where vinegar was poured, preventing vinegar from adhering to them after pouring. At the same time, as the V-shaped plate is conveyed below the conveyor belt, the combined scraping action of the pouring and gravity push the adhering vinegar off, reducing the acid corrosion problem caused by vinegar adhering to the inside.

[0036] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a vinegar-making and fermentation machine for producing kudzu root vinegar, including a support frame 1, a conveyor 2 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1, a motor 6 provided on one side of the conveyor 2, a conveyor belt 5 provided inside the conveyor 2, the motor 6 being electrically connected to the conveyor belt 5, a baffle 7 fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor 2, and a conveying mechanism 3 provided on the top of the conveyor belt 5.

[0037] Conveying mechanism 3 includes:

[0038] The bottom plate 301 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 5. A V-shaped plate 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 301. A groove 303 is provided on the inner wall of the V-shaped plate 302. The bottom plate 301 is used to connect the V-shaped plate 302 and the conveyor belt 5.

[0039] The sliding plate 306 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 303. The sliding plate 306 is a rectangular plate structure. An arc plate 304 is fixedly connected to one side of the V-shaped plate 302. The sliding plate 306 is a V-shaped plate structure. The sliding plate 306 and the baffle 7 are used to hold vinegar liquid.

[0040] In use, the produced vinegar is continuously poured onto the conveyor belt 5. The motor 6 is started to control the conveyor belt 5 to carry out the transmission work. The vinegar poured onto the conveyor belt 5 will be collected through the gaps between each V-shaped plate 302 and the baffle 7 on the conveyor 2. As the conveyor belt 5 rises, the vinegar is transported to a high place and extends above the loading vehicle. As the conveyor belt 5 continues to transport, each V-shaped plate 302 is moved to the bottom of the conveyor belt 5, thereby completing the pouring of vinegar between each V-shaped plate 302.

[0041] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1-11 Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: In the traditional method of transporting and loading vinegar, the vinegar is directly poured from the conveyor belt into the container inside the transport vehicle. However, this method has the problem of vinegar spillage and splashing when a large amount of vinegar is poured because the conveyor belt has a fixed pouring position. This not only wastes the vinegar but also pollutes the surrounding environment. In addition, the direct pouring of vinegar results in an unstable discharge flow position, making it difficult to ensure that all the vinegar is accurately poured into the container inside the vehicle, further increasing the risk of vinegar spillage. Therefore, a long groove 305 is provided on one side of the V-shaped plate 302. The long groove 305 is a rectangular groove. A counterweight plate 308 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate 306. A guide groove 307 is provided on one side of the V-shaped plate 302.

[0042] A connecting plate 309 is fixedly connected to one side of the counterweight plate 308, and a spring 310 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 309. The other end of the spring 310 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 303.

[0043] When pouring vinegar, as the V-shaped plate 302 on the left side is rotated to a horizontal position by the conveyor belt 5, the sliding plate 306 on the inner wall of the V-shaped plate 302 will slide out on one side of the V-shaped plate 302 along with the counterweight plate 308 and the connecting plate 309. Since the V-shaped plate 302 is V-shaped, the sliding plate 306 on the inner wall of the V-shaped plate 302 is located on its left half. Therefore, the left half of the inner wall of the V-shaped plate 302 can be rotated by the conveyor belt 5 first. After the right half of the V-shaped plate 302 continues to rotate to a horizontal position with the conveyor belt 5, the vinegar on the conveyor belt 5 will begin to flow downward as the right side of the V-shaped plate 302 gradually tilts. The automatic loading of vinegar into the vehicle is completed. When the vinegar flows down from the right side of the V-shaped plate 302, it first touches the extended sliding plate 306 and is impacted by the sliding plate 306. Then, it is guided by the sliding plate 306 to complete the final discharge of the vinegar liquid. The automatic blocking of the vinegar by the sliding plate 306 can buffer the vinegar liquid from rushing into the container in the vehicle, avoiding the problem that the vinegar directly rushes into the container and causes excessive impact, splashing out a large amount of water and excessive contact with air, trapping a large number of air bubbles, and remaining in the vinegar for a long time, which will affect the preservation quality of the vinegar. This ensures that the vinegar liquid can be stably and long-term preserved after transportation and loading.

[0044] Furthermore, the automatic extension of the sliding plate 306 guides the vinegar liquid to one end, which helps the vinegar liquid to be discharged further, so that the position where the vinegar liquid is poured on the conveyor belt 5 extends outward, ensuring that all the vinegar liquid can be poured into the vehicle and avoiding the problem of vinegar liquid spillage.

[0045] When a large amount of vinegar flows down from the right half of the V-shaped plate 302, the vinegar is pre-guided by the arc plate 304 to ensure stable vinegar discharge. At the same time, the vinegar flows down through several long grooves 305 on the V-shaped plate 302 to divert the vinegar in multiple directions, so that the area of ​​vinegar discharge onto the sliding plate 306 is larger. The sliding plate 306 can buffer the vinegar discharge as much as possible, and the flow guide groove 307 guides the flow to the vehicle stably and evenly, further improving the stability of the vinegar discharge flow position.

[0046] When the guide channel 307 is close to a horizontal state, the weight of the guide channel 307 and the counterweight plate 308 cannot overcome the elastic force of the spring 310. At this time, the elastic force of the spring 310 will rebound and pop out the sliding plate 306. There is no need to push out the sliding plate 306 when it is tilted. This achieves early extension so that when the vinegar is poured down, the sliding plate 306 can complete the stepped buffering and guiding with sufficient extension area.

[0047] Example 3: Please refer to Figure 1-12Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, this invention provides a technical solution: In the production and transportation of vinegar, it is common practice to use a specific device to pour and load vinegar onto trucks. However, after the vinegar is poured, a large amount of vinegar will adhere to the surface of the V-shaped plate 302 used for pouring the vinegar, the conveyor belt 5, and the right side of the V-shaped plate 302.

[0048] If these residual vinegar solutions are not cleaned in time, they will cause many problems. On the one hand, vinegar is acidic, and if it adheres to components such as the V-shaped plate 302 and the conveyor belt 5 for a long time, it will cause acid corrosion to these components, affecting the service life and performance stability of the equipment, and increasing the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement. On the other hand, after the residual vinegar dries on the surface of the equipment, it will form dirt that is difficult to clean, which not only affects the appearance of the equipment, but may also breed bacteria, posing a potential threat to the quality of vinegar produced later. Therefore, an anti-corrosion mechanism 4 is provided on the left side of the V-shaped plate 302. The anti-corrosion mechanism 4 includes a first scraper 401, which is a long strip structure. The first scraper 401 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 306 by a small slider, and the first scraper 401 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the V-shaped plate 302 through a groove 402.

[0049] A first pull rope 403 is fixedly connected to one side of the first scraper 401, and a second scraper 404 is fixedly connected to one end of the first pull rope 403.

[0050] The top of the second scraper 404 is fixedly connected to the second pull rope 405, and one end of the second pull rope 405 is fixedly connected to the third scraper 406. One side of the third scraper 406 is fixedly connected to one side of the V-shaped plate 302.

[0051] The bottom of the second scraper 404 is slidably connected to the top of the conveyor belt 5 through a guide groove. An elastic rope 407 is fixedly connected to one side of the third scraper 406, and one end of the elastic rope 407 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc plate 304.

[0052] Both the third scraper 406 and the second scraper 404 are long strips. The elastic rope 407 is used to reset the third scraper 406. The first scraper 401 and the sliding plate 306 are magnetic and attract each other with opposite poles. The side of the first scraper 401 and the sliding plate 306 that are close to each other is in contact with the V-shaped plate 302 through ball bearings.

[0053] When the sliding plate 306 slides out of the groove 303 in the V-shaped plate 302, it will be driven by the magnetic attraction between itself and the first scraper 401 to slide on the left side of the V-shaped plate 302. Ball bearings are provided on the side of the first scraper 401 and the sliding plate 306 that contacts the V-shaped plate 302 to reduce sliding friction and scrape one side of the V-shaped plate 302. At this time, the vinegar liquid on the left side of the V-shaped plate 302 has been completely poured out, thus completing the scraping and cleaning of the left side of the V-shaped plate 302. The first scraper 401 pulls the first rope 403 to move the second scraper 404. The second scraper 404 scrapes the surface of the conveyor belt 5 and drives the third scraper 406 to scrape the right side of the V-shaped plate 302 through the second rope 405. This enables self-cleaning of the three surfaces at the point of pouring after the vinegar liquid is poured, preventing the vinegar liquid from adhering to them. At the same time, as the V-shaped plate 302 is transported below the conveyor belt 5, the combined scraping action of the pouring and gravity push the adhering vinegar liquid down, reducing the acid corrosion problem caused by the vinegar liquid adhering to the inside.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
