[0002] Mature vinegar, as a bright pearl in Chinese traditional brewing vinegar, is brewed by using high-quality grains such as sorghum as core raw materials through a unique process, and endows Chinese cuisine with unique and indispensable mellow flavor. The mature vinegar storage device is specially designed for mature vinegar products. Through careful optimization of the structural design, the safety of the mature vinegar in the storage process is ensured; the selected material selection effectively resists external pollution and maintains the pure quality of the mature vinegar; in addition, the auxiliary system such as temperature control and ventilation is equipped, which further prolongs the shelf life of the mature vinegar and improves the operation convenience, so that the storage and management of the mature vinegar become easy and efficient, and provides a solid guarantee for the sustainable development of the mature vinegar industry.
[0003] During long-term storage of the mature vinegar, the free water may be separated out due to the influence of temperature, environmental humidity and other factors.

If the storage environment is not good and there is no suitable drainage design at the tank bottom, the free water cannot be discharged in time, and will slowly penetrate into the vinegar body, diluting the concentration of the vinegar. With the passage of time, the effective components in the vinegar are diluted, the originally mellow and unique taste and flavor are affected, and become tasteless, which seriously affects the quality of the mature vinegar.

[0022] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship, only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the invention.
[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-7 As shown in the drawings, the present application is a kind of old vinegar storage device for old vinegar processing and production, including storage tank 1, storage tank 1 as the main structure of the whole device, provides stable container space for the storage of old vinegar. Fixedly installed in the inside of storage tank 1 is independent chamber 2, which reasonably divides the internal space of the storage tank, plays a certain role of isolation and special function realization. The filter screen 3 is fixedly installed in the independent chamber 2, which can preliminarily filter the liquid entering the independent chamber 2 and remove the larger impurity particles that may exist therein. The inner wall of the independent chamber 2 is slidably connected with a metal float 4. The density of the metal float 4 is carefully designed, which is greater than the density of old vinegar and less than the density of water. Such density setting makes the metal float 4 float up and down in the mixed liquid of old vinegar and water according to the density change of the liquid. The bottom of the metal float 4 is fixedly installed with a rack 5, which is used as a transmission component and can cooperate with the opening and closing mechanism to realize a specific mechanical action. The rack 5 is engaged with the opening and closing mechanism, which includes a fixed disc 7 fixedly installed on a drain pipe 6. The fixed disc 7 is used as a basic support component of the opening and closing mechanism, which provides a stable platform for the installation and movement of other components. One side of the fixed disc 7 is slidably connected with a sealing plate 8, and the other end of the sealing plate 8 is fixedly installed with a connecting block 9. The connecting block 9 is slidably connected in the inside of an arc-shaped sliding groove 10, which is opened in a gear disc 11. The gear disc 11 is rotationally connected with the fixed disc 7 through the connecting block 9. The drain pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the storage tank 1. Through this complex mechanical structure, the opening and closing of the drain pipe 6 can be controlled according to the up and down floating of the metal float 4, so as to control the drainage operation.
[0024] The working principle of the old vinegar storage device for old vinegar processing and production is that when old vinegar is stored in the storage tank 1, free water will be separated out. Since the density of water is greater than that of old vinegar, the free water will deposit above the tank bottom sediment.
[0025] The independent chamber 2 is fixed in the inside of the storage tank 1, and the filter screen 3 in the independent chamber 2 preliminarily filters the entering liquid to remove larger impurity particles. The metal float 4 slidably connected with the inner wall of the independent chamber 2 will float up and down with the density change of the mixed liquid of old vinegar and water, because its density is greater than that of old vinegar and less than that of water.
[0026] When the free water in the tank increases, the density of the mixed solution changes, and the metal float 4 rises, and the rack 5 fixed at the bottom of the metal float 5 rises. The rack 5 is engaged with the opening and closing mechanism, and the fixed disc 7 fixedly installed on the drain pipe 6 in the opening and closing mechanism serves as a support, and the sealing plate 8 in sliding connection with the fixed disc 7 moves, and the connecting block 9 at the other end of the sealing plate 8 slides in the arc-shaped sliding groove 10 opened on the gear disc 11, drives the gear disc 11 to rotate, and then moves the sealing plate 8, opens the drain pipe 6, and the free water is discharged from the drain pipe 6.
[0027] When the free water is discharged, the density of the mixed solution changes, and the metal float 4 descends, the rack 5 descends, drives the gear disc 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, the sealing plate 8 moves, closes the drain pipe 6, and stops the drainage. Such a cycle realizes automatic control of the drainage according to the density change of the liquid in the tank, avoids dilution of the vinegar body concentration by the free water, and guarantees the flavor of the aged vinegar.
[0028] In an embodiment, for the above-mentioned independent chamber 2, in order to ensure that the metal float 4 can stably slide up and down in the independent chamber 2, a sliding groove 12 is opened on the inner wall of the independent chamber 2, and a sliding block 13 in sliding connection with the sliding groove 12 is fixedly installed on the metal float 4. In this way, during the up and down floating process of the metal float 4, the metal float 4 can stably move along the predetermined track through the cooperation of the sliding block 13 and the sliding groove 12, avoiding deviation or jamming and the like, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the whole device.
[0029] In an embodiment, for the above-mentioned sealing plate 8, in order to realize better sealing effect and more precise opening and closing control, a plurality of sealing plates 8 are arranged, the plurality of sealing plates 8 are uniformly distributed on the fixed disc 7, a plurality of connecting blocks 9 are arranged, the plurality of connecting blocks 9 are fixedly installed on the sealing plate 8, and a plurality of arc-shaped sliding grooves 10 are arranged, and the plurality of arc-shaped sliding grooves 10 are uniformly distributed on the gear disc 11. Through the cooperation of the plurality of sealing plates 8, the connecting blocks 9 and the arc-shaped sliding grooves 10, the opening and closing mechanism can more stably and accurately control the opening and closing degree of the drain pipe 6 during the movement process, so as to better adapt to different drainage requirements.
[0030] The working principle of the aged vinegar storage device for aged vinegar processing and production provided by the application is that the aged vinegar is stored in the storage tank 1, and free water will be precipitated during storage because the density of water is greater than that of aged vinegar, and the free water will be deposited above the tank bottom sediment.
[0031] The independent chamber 2 is fixed inside the storage tank 1, the sliding groove 12 opened on the inner wall of the independent chamber 2 is in sliding connection with the sliding block 13 fixed on the metal float 4, and the metal float 4 can stably slide up and down in the independent chamber 2. The filter screen 3 in the independent chamber 2 can preliminarily filter the entering liquid and remove larger impurity particles.
[0032] The metal float 4 will float up and down with the change of the density of the mixture of the aged vinegar and water, because the density of the metal float 4 is greater than that of the aged vinegar and less than that of water. When the free water in the tank increases, the density of the mixture changes, and the metal float 4 rises, and the rack 5 fixed at the bottom of the metal float 4 also rises.
[0033] In the opening and closing mechanism, the fixed disc 7 fixedly installed on the drain pipe 6 serves as a support, and a plurality of sealing plates 8 uniformly distributed on the fixed disc 7 slide in a plurality of arc-shaped sliding grooves 10 uniformly distributed on the gear disc 11 through a plurality of fixed connecting blocks 9, drive the gear disc 11 to rotate, move the sealing plates 8, open the drain pipe 6, and free water is discharged from the drain pipe 6.
[0034] When the free water is discharged, the density of the mixture changes, and the metal float 4 descends, the rack 5 descends, drives the gear disc 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, the sealing plates 8 move, the drain pipe 6 is closed, and the water discharge is stopped. In this way, through the cooperation of the plurality of sealing plates 8, the connecting blocks 9 and the arc-shaped sliding grooves 10, the opening and closing degree of the drain pipe 6 is stably and accurately controlled, different water discharge requirements are adapted, the device is stably and reliably operated, the free water dilutes the concentration of the vinegar body, and the flavor of the aged vinegar is protected.
[0035] In an embodiment, for the above-mentioned drain pipe 6, in order to realize automatic control of the water discharge process, the drain pipe 6 is fixedly installed with a first electromagnetic valve 14, and through the opening and closing of the first electromagnetic valve 14, the water discharge time and the water discharge amount of the drain pipe 6 can be accurately controlled. At the same time, the storage tank 1 is fixedly connected with a vinegar taking pipe 15 away from the side of the drain pipe 6, the vinegar taking pipe 15 is fixedly installed with a second electromagnetic valve 16, and the setting of the second electromagnetic valve 16 enables the vinegar taking process to also realize automatic control, and the operator can take the aged vinegar at any time according to needs.

Such density setting enables the hollow floating ball 18 to always suspend in the supernatant layer of the aged vinegar and automatically avoid the sediment. A liquid taking port 19 is formed at the bottom of the hollow floating ball 18, through which the aged vinegar in the supernatant layer can be smoothly taken out, and the purity of the taken aged vinegar is ensured.
[0037] In one embodiment, for the hollow floating ball 18 described above, in order to make the hollow floating ball 18 more stably suspended in the storage tank 1, and facilitate the movement of the liquid taking hose 17, the hollow floating ball 18 is suspended in the clear liquid layer and automatically avoids the sludge. The liquid taking hose 17 is rotatably connected with a fixed pulley 20, and the fixed pulley 20 is fixedly installed at both ends with a connecting rod 21, and the connecting rod 21 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage tank 1. The setting of the fixed pulley 20 makes the liquid taking hose 17 more smoothly when it floats or moves with the hollow floating ball 18, reduces the friction, and also plays a certain guiding and supporting role for the liquid taking hose 17.
[0038] The working principle of the vinegar storage device for processing and producing aged vinegar provided by the present application is that the storage tank 1 is fixedly connected with a vinegar taking pipe 15 away from one side of the drain pipe 6, the second electromagnetic valve 16 is fixedly installed on the vinegar taking pipe 15, and the operator can open the second electromagnetic valve 16 to take vinegar according to needs. In order to avoid taking sludge at the bottom of the storage tank 1 when taking vinegar, the vinegar taking pipe 15 is fixedly connected with one end of the liquid taking hose 17, and the other end of the liquid taking hose 17 is fixedly connected with the hollow floating ball 18. The hollow floating ball 18 has a small density and is always suspended in the clear liquid layer of the aged vinegar, and automatically avoids the sludge, and a liquid taking opening 19 is formed at the bottom of the hollow floating ball 18 to extract the aged vinegar in the clear liquid layer.
[0039] At the same time, the liquid taking hose 17 is rotatably connected with the fixed pulley 20, and the fixed pulley 20 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the storage tank 1 through the connecting rod 21. When the hollow floating ball 18 floats or moves with the liquid surface of the aged vinegar, the liquid taking hose 17 smoothly slides on the fixed pulley 20, reduces the friction, plays a guiding and supporting role, ensures the stable taking process of the aged vinegar, and ensures the purity of the taken aged vinegar.
