Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of brewing technology, and in particular to a novel vertical fermentation device for brewing processing that facilitates feeding. Background Technology

[0002] In the winemaking process, fermentation is the core step that determines the quality and yield of the wine. The performance of the fermentation equipment directly affects the raw material conversion efficiency, microbial activity, and the final quality of the wine. Currently, traditional winemaking fermentation equipment mostly adopts a vertical or horizontal structure. Among them, vertical fermentation equipment is widely used due to its small footprint and high space utilization rate. However, it still has many shortcomings in practical applications:

[0003] On the one hand, the feeding process of traditional vertical fermentation equipment relies heavily on manual handling or simple conveying equipment. Due to the height of the fermentation tank, the labor intensity and efficiency of lifting and feeding raw materials are high, and waste and pollution caused by spillage are likely to occur. Although some equipment is equipped with a feeding structure, there are problems such as complicated pipe connections and difficulty in cleaning up material residues, which make it difficult to adapt to the needs of continuous production.

[0004] On the other hand, the fermentation process requires precise control of temperature and humidity. Traditional heating systems often involve direct heating of the tank wall or heating of a single area, which can easily lead to uneven temperature distribution and significant differences in microbial activity in different areas of the tank, affecting the consistency of fermentation. At the same time, the temperature and humidity monitoring of existing devices is mostly done through offline sampling or single-point monitoring, which makes it difficult to reflect the overall environmental parameters inside the tank in real time and results in strong lag in regulation.

[0005] In addition, the stirring mechanism of traditional equipment is mostly fixed in speed and stirring trajectory, which can easily cause uneven mixing of materials. Especially for high viscosity raw materials, local sedimentation or clumping is likely to occur, reducing fermentation efficiency. The automation level of the tank lid opening and closing and material discharge process is low, the operation process is cumbersome, and the cost of manual intervention and the risk of pollution are increased.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, a novel vertical fermentation device integrating efficient feeding, precise temperature control, uniform stirring, and intelligent monitoring functions has been developed, becoming crucial for improving the automation level and product quality stability in the brewing fermentation process.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-6 This invention provides a novel vertical fermentation device for brewing that facilitates material loading, comprising:

[0039] Heating jacket 1, with support legs 2 installed at the bottom of heating jacket 1;

[0040] Fermentation tank 3 is installed inside heating jacket 1, and the top of fermentation tank 3 is hinged to tank cover 4. There is a gap between heating jacket 1 and fermentation tank 3, and heating components are installed in the gap.

[0041] An opening and closing control mechanism is installed on the outer wall of the heating jacket 1, and its top end is fixed to the can lid 4.

[0042] The stirring mechanism is installed on the opening and closing control mechanism, and the bottom of the stirring mechanism extends into the fermentation tank 3.

[0043] The discharge mechanism is installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 3 and extends through the heating jacket 1;

[0044] The feeding assembly has a feed inlet on the can lid 4, and the feeding assembly is connected to the feed inlet via a conveying hose 5.

[0045] Temperature and humidity monitoring unit: The temperature and humidity monitoring unit is used to monitor the temperature and humidity inside fermenter 3. The temperature and humidity monitoring unit is connected to the controller.

[0046] In operation, the following steps are taken: First, the lid 4 is opened via the opening and closing control mechanism to clean and pre-treat the interior of the fermentation tank 3. After preparation, the lid 4 is closed and sealed. The feeding assembly is then activated. Once the fermentation raw materials are conveyed by the feeding assembly, they enter the fermentation tank 3 through the feed inlet of the lid 4 via the conveying hose 5, completing the feeding operation. After feeding, the controller activates the heating assembly according to preset fermentation process parameters. The space between the heating jacket 1 and the fermentation tank 3 generates heat through the heating assembly, providing an initial suitable temperature inside the fermentation tank 3. Simultaneously, the temperature and humidity monitoring unit monitors the temperature and humidity data inside the fermentation tank 3 in real time and transmits the data to the controller. During fermentation, the stirring mechanism is activated, with its bottom extending into the fermentation tank 3 to stir the raw materials, ensuring uniform mixing. When the temperature and humidity monitoring unit detects that the temperature or humidity inside the tank deviates from the preset range, the controller automatically adjusts the operating status of the heating assembly to maintain the required temperature and humidity environment for fermentation. After fermentation, the heating assembly and stirring mechanism are stopped, and the fermentation products are discharged from the bottom of the fermentation tank 3 via the discharge mechanism. During discharge, the products pass through the heating jacket 1 and extend to an external collection device. Throughout the process, the opening and closing control mechanism can control the opening and closing of the tank lid 4 as needed, facilitating the inspection or maintenance of the interior of the fermenter 3.

[0047] The design is further optimized so that the heating component includes a heating plate 6, which is disposed between the heating jacket 1 and the fermentation tank 3, and is connected to the heater.

[0048] When the heater is working, it generates heat, which is transferred to the heating plate 6 through the circuit. The heating plate 6 dissipates the heat to the space between the heating jacket 1 and the fermentation tank 3. The heat is then conducted to the raw materials inside the tank through the wall of the fermentation tank 3, thus heating the fermentation environment. Because the heating plates 6 are distributed in the space, the heat can be transferred more evenly, avoiding local overheating and improving the accuracy of temperature control.

[0049] Further optimization of the scheme: the opening and closing control mechanism includes a base frame 7, which is fixed to the bottom of the heating jacket 1. One end of the base frame 7 is rotatably connected to a hydraulic cylinder 8, and one end of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to a mounting base 9. The mounting base 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the heating jacket 1. The mounting base 9 is fixed to the fermentation tank 3 by a connecting seat 10. The stirring mechanism is installed on the mounting base 9.

[0050] The base frame 7 provides fixed support for the entire mechanism. When the tank lid 4 needs to be opened, the hydraulic cylinder 8 extends and retracts. One end rotates around the base frame 7, and the other end drives the mounting base 9 to rotate around the top of the heating jacket 1. The mounting base 9 drives the tank lid 4 to rotate synchronously through the connecting seat 10, thus opening the tank lid 4. When closing, the hydraulic cylinder 8 moves in the opposite direction, pulling the mounting base 9 and the tank lid 4 back to their original positions. The mounting base 9 also provides a mounting carrier for the stirring mechanism, ensuring that the stirring mechanism moves synchronously with the tank lid 4 and that the stirring components are accurately inserted into the fermentation tank 3.

[0051] Further optimization of the scheme: the stirring mechanism includes a stirring motor 11 fixed on the mounting base 9, a driven gear rotatably connected to the connecting base 10, a drive gear rotatably connected to the mounting base 9, the drive gear and the driven gear being driven and engaged by a chain 12, a drive shaft 13 fixedly connected to the mounting base 9, the drive shaft 13 being rotatably connected to the connecting base 10, the bottom of the drive shaft 13 extending into the fermentation tank 3, and several stirring plates 14 being fixedly fixed circumferentially at the bottom of the drive shaft 13, a connecting rod 17 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting base 10, an annular plate 15 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 17, the outer wall of the annular plate 15 having an array of through holes, the annular plate 15 being coaxially arranged with the drive shaft 13, and the stirring plates 14 and the inner wall of the annular plate 15 being spaced apart.

[0052] After the stirring motor 11 starts, it drives the drive gear to rotate. The drive gear drives the driven gear to rotate via the chain 12, which in turn causes the drive shaft 13 to rotate. The stirring plate 14 at the bottom of the drive shaft 13 rotates with the drive shaft 13, stirring the raw materials in the fermentation tank 3. The connecting rod 17 at the bottom of the connecting seat 10 supports the annular plate 15. The annular plate 15 is coaxial with the drive shaft 13. When the stirring plate 14 rotates, it maintains a distance from the inner wall of the annular plate 15 to avoid interference. The raw materials flow under the action of the stirring plate 14. Some of the raw materials pass through the through holes on the outer wall of the annular plate 15, forming an internal and external circulation, which enhances the uniformity of stirring and prevents the raw materials from clumping.

[0053] Further optimization of the scheme: the discharge mechanism includes a discharge pipe 16, which is fixed to the bottom of the fermentation tank 3 and coaxially arranged with the fermentation tank 3. A connecting rod 17 is vertically slidably connected inside the discharge pipe 16. A sealing head 18 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod 17 and abuts against the top of the discharge pipe 16. An installation box is fixed to the bottom of the discharge pipe 16. A driving bevel gear 19 and a driven bevel gear 20 are rotatably connected inside the installation box. The driving bevel gear 19 and the driven bevel gear 20 mesh. A power shaft 21 is fixed on the driving bevel gear 19. A handwheel is fixed to one end of the power shaft 21. The driving bevel gear 19 rotates on the top of the installation box. A screw 22 is fixed to the top of the driving bevel gear 19. A threaded hole is opened at the bottom of the connecting rod 17. The screw 22 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. A side pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the discharge pipe 16. A sealing ring 24 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting rod 17. The side pipe 23 is located between the sealing ring 24 and the sealing head 18.

[0054] During discharge, rotating the handwheel drives the power shaft 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the bevel gear 19 to rotate. The meshing driven bevel gear 20 drives the screw 22 to rotate. The screw 22 engages with the threaded hole at the bottom of the connecting rod 17, causing the connecting rod 17 to move vertically. The sealing head 18 moves downward with the connecting rod 17, disengaging from its contact with the top of the discharge pipe 16, allowing the material in the tank to enter the discharge pipe 16. At this time, the sealing ring 24 is located below the side pipe 23, and the material is discharged through the side pipe 23. When closing, rotating the handwheel in the opposite direction moves the connecting rod 17 upward, causing the sealing head 18 to return to its original position and seal the top of the discharge pipe 16. The sealing ring 24 moves upward to above the side pipe 23, blocking the discharge channel and ensuring a sealing effect.

[0055] The scheme is further optimized. The feeding component includes a bracket 25. A guide pipe 29 is installed on the top of the bracket 25 by angle control. A feed hole is opened on the bottom side of the guide pipe 29. A first guide box 30 is installed on the feed hole. An auger is rotatably connected inside the guide pipe 29. A feeding motor 31 is fixed to one end of the guide pipe 29. The output shaft of the feeding motor 31 is fixed to one end of the auger. A discharge hole is opened at the top of the guide pipe 29. A second guide box 32 is installed on the discharge hole. The second guide box 32 is connected to the fermentation tank 3 through a conveying hose 5.

[0056] During feeding, the tilt angle of the guide pipe 29 is adjusted according to the height of the feed inlet of fermenter 3 via angle control. Raw materials enter the guide pipe 29 from the first guide box 30 through the feed hole. The feeding motor 31 drives the auger to rotate, pushing the raw materials along the guide pipe 29 until they reach the top, where they enter the second guide box 32 through the discharge hole, and then are conveyed into fermenter 3 via the conveying hose 5. The auger conveyor enables continuous feeding, and its adjustable angle adapts to different feeding positions, reducing material residue.

[0057] Further optimization of the scheme: the temperature and humidity monitoring unit includes a temperature sensor 26 and a humidity sensor 27. The temperature sensor 26 and the humidity sensor 27 are respectively installed on the heating jacket 1, and the probes of the temperature sensor 26 and the humidity sensor 27 respectively pass through the heating jacket 1 and extend into the fermentation tank 3.

[0058] The probes of temperature sensor 26 and humidity sensor 27 are inserted directly into fermenter 3 to detect the temperature and humidity data inside the tank in real time. The data is transmitted to the controller, which adjusts the working status of the heating components according to preset parameters to ensure a stable fermentation environment.

[0059] To further optimize the design, a pressure sensor 28 is installed on the tank cover 4. The pressure sensor 28 is used to monitor the pressure inside the fermenter 3. A pressure relief hole is opened on the pipe cover, and a pressure relief valve is installed on the pressure relief hole.

[0060] Pressure sensor 28 monitors the pressure inside fermenter 3 in real time. When the pressure exceeds the set threshold, the pressure relief valve opens automatically, and the gas inside the tank is discharged through the pressure relief hole. After the pressure drops to a safe range, the pressure relief valve closes to ensure the safe operation of the device.
