Description

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of fermentation tank technology, specifically a smart constant temperature fermentation tank for sea cucumbers. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of sea cucumber fermentation technology, existing fermentation tanks lack effective gas emission and chamber switching mechanisms, which can easily lead to gas accumulation, affect the fermentation process, and even cause safety hazards due to excessively high gas pressure in a single chamber. Furthermore, they cannot guarantee the continuity of the fermentation process, and their sealing measures are often not perfect, allowing outside air and impurities to easily enter, which can damage the stability and purity of the fermentation environment, affecting the fermentation success rate and product quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent constant temperature fermentation tank for sea cucumbers, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background that existing fermentation tanks lack effective gas emission and chamber switching mechanisms, which leads to gas accumulation, affects the fermentation process, and may even threaten production safety due to excessively high gas pressure in a single chamber.

There are two isolation plate assemblies, which are symmetrically arranged around the axis of the liquid storage tank. The isolation plate assemblies are driven by the drive assembly, and the periphery of the isolation plate assembly abuts against the inner wall of the liquid storage tank. The isolation plate assemblies divide the inner cavity of the liquid storage tank into a main cavity and a backup cavity. Above the liquid storage tank, there is a corresponding air extraction port and a liquid replenishment port 2 for the main cavity. The liquid replenishment port 2 is connected to the output end of the water pump through a hose. An annular exhaust chamber assembly is fixedly connected above the liquid storage tank. A piston assembly that is driven by the drive assembly is slidably connected inside the annular exhaust chamber assembly. The annular exhaust chamber assembly has an air inlet with a one-way valve 2 and an air outlet. The air inlet is connected to the air extraction port through a hose.

[0005] The drive assembly includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fermentation cover. A bevel gear one is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and a drive shaft is rotatably connected to the fermentation cover on the same axis. A bevel gear two is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive shaft, and the bevel gear one meshes with the bevel gear two.

[0006] A connecting disc is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The connecting disc is coaxial with the drive shaft and is located below the second bevel gear. Two spiral rods are fixedly connected above the connecting disc. The spiral rods are spiraled upwards and arranged in a ring around the axis of the connecting disc.

[0007] Both of the aforementioned isolation plate assemblies include a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, a third connecting plate, and two semicircular plates. One of the semicircular plates is disposed between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, and the left and right sides of the semicircular plate are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting plate and one side of the second connecting plate.

[0008] Another semicircular plate is disposed between connecting plate two and connecting plate three. The left and right sides of the semicircular plate are fixedly connected to the other side of connecting plate two and one side of connecting plate three, respectively. The other side of connecting plate three abuts against the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber. The other side of connecting plate one is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The upper and lower sides of connecting plate one, connecting plate two, connecting plate three and the two semicircular plates abut against the top and bottom of the liquid storage chamber, respectively.

[0009] The piston assembly includes a piston ring and several sliding rods. The piston ring is slidably connected within the annular exhaust chamber assembly and is coaxially arranged with the annular exhaust chamber assembly as a reference. The several sliding rods are arranged in a ring around the axis of the annular exhaust chamber assembly, and the lower ends of the several sliding rods are fixedly connected to the piston ring.

[0010] The annular exhaust chamber assembly includes a chamber body and a chamber cover. The chamber cover is fixedly connected to the top of the chamber body. The piston ring is slidably connected to the chamber body. Several sliding rods are slidably connected to the chamber cover. An air outlet and an air inlet are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the chamber body.

[0011] A connecting plate is provided at the upper end of several sliding rods, and the upper end of each sliding rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. A spring is coaxially provided on each sliding rod, the upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the sliding rod, and the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the compartment cover.

The upper end of the L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the lower end of the L-shaped rod is fixedly connected to a rubber wheel. The two rubber wheels abut against the two helical rods respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention uses the alternating use of the main chamber and the backup chamber. When the pressure sensor detects that the gas pressure generated by fermentation reaches the threshold, the gas will be discharged. At the same time, the main chamber and the backup chamber are switched. During the switching between the main chamber and the backup chamber, the normal fermentation process will not be affected, so that the fermentation process has better continuity and efficiency. 2. The liquid storage chamber of this invention is equipped with a pressure sensor to monitor fermentation gas. When the gas pressure in the main chamber or the backup chamber reaches the maximum gas pressure threshold, the controller controls the drive component to drive the isolation plate component to rotate, thereby realizing the interchange of the positions of the main chamber and the backup chamber. This avoids the safety hazards caused by excessive gas pressure in a single chamber, making the fermentation process more stable and safe. 3. This invention uses a fermentation cap to seal the fermentation tank body, while the annular water seal groove on the water seal ring and the inner wall of the fermentation tank body form an annular water seal cavity, achieving double sealing. This prevents external air and impurities from entering the fermentation tank body, making the sea cucumber fermentation environment more stable and pure. As the amount of gas produced by sea cucumber fermentation increases, the gas enters the annular water seal cavity through a one-way valve. The water vapor in the mixed gas is absorbed by water, achieving preliminary treatment of the fermentation gas and avoiding the adverse effects of water vapor accumulation in the fermentation tank body on sea cucumber fermentation. 4. When the working fluid in the annular water seal tank decreases below the preset level, water can be pumped through a hose and the second replenishment port to the main chamber or the backup chamber to replenish the annular water seal tank. This will minimize the change in water volume in the annular water seal tank, prolong the water seal time, ensure better sealing performance of the fermenter body, reduce the workload of manual water replenishment, and reduce the risk of water seal failure due to negligence.

[0016] 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.

[0017] A smart constant temperature fermentation tank for sea cucumbers, such as Figures 1-7As shown, the system includes a fermenter body 1, a fermentation cover 2 for sealing fixedly connected to the opening at the top of the fermenter body 1, a drive assembly 3 fixedly connected above the fermentation cover 2, a liquid storage chamber 4 fixedly located directly below and coaxial with the fermentation cover 2 inside the fermenter body 1, a water seal ring 5 coaxially connected below the liquid storage chamber 4, an annular water seal groove 6 formed on the outer edge of the water seal ring 5 and abutting against the inner wall of the fermenter body 1, several one-way valves 51 arranged in a ring around the axis and facing the bottom of the fermenter cavity below the water seal ring 5, a liquid replenishment port 41 formed at the lower end of the liquid storage chamber 4, the annular water seal groove 6 connected to the liquid replenishment port 41 via a hose, a pressure sensor 42 for monitoring air pressure on the upper surface of the liquid storage chamber 4, and two isolation plate assemblies 7 rotatably connected inside the liquid storage chamber 4. The component 7 is symmetrically arranged around the axis of the liquid storage tank 4. The isolation plate assembly 7 is driven by the drive assembly 3, and the periphery of the isolation plate assembly 7 abuts against the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 4. The isolation plate assembly 7 divides the inner cavity of the liquid storage tank 4 into a main cavity 43 and a spare cavity 44. The liquid storage tank 4 has an air extraction port 45 and a liquid replenishment port 46 corresponding to the main cavity 43. The liquid replenishment port 46 is connected to the output end of a water pump (the water pump is existing technology and is not shown in the figure) through a hose. An annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 is fixedly connected above the liquid storage tank 4. A piston assembly 9 that is driven by the drive assembly 3 is slidably connected inside the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8. The annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 has an air inlet 81 with a one-way valve 83 and an air outlet 82. The air inlet 81 is connected to the air extraction port 45 through a hose. When sea cucumbers need to be fermented, they are placed at the bottom of the fermentation tank. Since the fermentation lid 2 seals the inner cavity of the fermentation tank body 1, the sea cucumbers are placed inside the sealed inner cavity of the fermentation tank body 1. This creates an annular water seal cavity formed by the annular water seal groove 6 on the water seal ring 5 and the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1. Water is then injected into this annular water seal cavity, sealing the cavity below the water seal ring 5 inside the fermentation tank body 1. This allows the sea cucumbers to ferment within the sealed cavity. Because the sea cucumbers are below the water seal ring 5, as fermentation continues, the amount of gas in the cavity below the water seal ring 5 gradually increases. When the gas in this cavity reaches the threshold for opening the one-way valve 51, the gas passes through the one-way valve into the annular water seal groove 6 on the water seal ring 5 and the inner wall of the fermentation tank body. 1. An annular water-sealed cavity is formed inside the inner wall. Since the annular water-sealed cavity is filled with water, the gas produced by fermentation is mixed with water vapor. After the gas mixed with water vapor enters the annular water-sealed cavity, the mixed gas is cooled, the water vapor is absorbed by the water in the annular water-sealed cavity, and the other gases float upward in the form of bubbles. The gas floating upward in the form of bubbles enters the liquid storage chamber 4 through the hose and the liquid inlet 41. The gas entering the liquid storage chamber 4 continues to float upward in the form of bubbles until it floats to the surface of the water in the liquid storage chamber 4. As fermentation continues, the amount of gas on the surface of the water in the liquid storage chamber 4 gradually increases. The gas produced by sea cucumber fermentation enters the main cavity 43 in the form of bubbles through the hose and the liquid inlet 41 in sequence, and then continues to float upward in the form of bubbles. When the pressure sensor 42 detects that the gas pressure in the main chamber 43 has increased to the maximum gas pressure threshold that the liquid storage tank 4 can withstand, the pressure sensor 42 transmits the monitoring information to the controller (the controller is existing technology and is not shown in the figure). The controller controls the drive component 3 to rotate, thereby driving the two isolation plate components 7 to rotate at the same angle through the transmission action, so that the main chamber 43 and the backup chamber 44 are interchanged. Thus, at this time, the air extraction port 45 and the second liquid replenishment port 46 are both in the position of the backup chamber 44. That is, at this time, the first liquid replenishment port 41, the air extraction port 45, and the second liquid replenishment port 46 are all in the position of the backup chamber 44. The sea cucumber continues to ferment, and the gas produced enters the backup chamber 44 in the form of bubbles through the hose and the first liquid replenishment port 41 in sequence. Then, it continues to float upward in the form of bubbles, which increases the gas pressure in the backup chamber 44. This process is repeated. When the working fluid in the annular water seal tank 6 decreases below the preset level, water can be pumped through a hose and replenishment port 46 to the liquid storage tank 4, i.e., to the main chamber 43 or the backup chamber 44. This allows water in the main chamber 43 or the backup chamber 44 to enter the annular water seal tank 6 through replenishment port 41 and the hose for replenishment. While the drive assembly 3 drives the isolation plate assembly 7 to rotate, the piston assembly 9 is driven to slide upward in the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 through the transmission action. This allows the gas generated by sea cucumber fermentation in the main chamber 43 to pass through the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 in sequence. The gas enters the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 through the suction port 45, hose, one-way valve 2 83 and air inlet 81. When the transmission action drives the two isolation plate assemblies 7 to rotate at a certain angle, causing the main chamber 43 and the spare chamber 44 to exchange positions, the piston assembly 9 resets, thereby causing the gas in the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 to be squeezed out from the exhaust port 82 by the piston assembly 9. The squeezed gas passes through the exhaust port 82 and the one-way valve 2 83 fixedly connected to the exhaust port 82 in sequence, and then enters the container for collecting fermentation gas (existing technology, not shown in the figure) for storage. The alternating use of the main chamber 43 and the backup chamber 44 ensures better continuity in the sea cucumber fermentation process. When the pressure sensor 42 detects that the gas pressure generated during fermentation reaches a threshold, the gas is released, preventing gas accumulation from affecting the fermentation process. Furthermore, the switching between the main chamber 43 and the backup chamber 44 does not disrupt the normal fermentation process, resulting in better continuity and efficiency. When the working liquid in the annular water seal tank 6 decreases below the preset level, water can be pumped through hoses and the second replenishment port 46 to the main chamber 43 and the backup chamber 44, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the fermentation process. Water is added to the annular water seal trough 6, which minimizes the change in water volume within the annular water seal trough 6. This allows for a longer water seal time, ensuring better sealing performance of the fermenter body 1, reducing the workload of manual water replenishment, and lowering the risk of water seal failure due to negligence. Through the cooperation of the piston assembly 9 and the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8, as well as the transmission action between the piston assembly 9 and the drive assembly 3, the gas generated during fermentation in the main chamber 43 and the spare chamber 44 is absorbed into the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 and then squeezed into the container by the piston assembly 9 for storage, thus preventing the direct emission of fermentation gas and its pollution to the environment. By using a fermentation cap 2 to seal the fermentation tank body 1, and simultaneously using an annular water seal groove 6 on the water seal ring 5 to form an annular water seal cavity with the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1, a double seal is achieved, preventing external air and impurities from entering the fermentation tank body 1. This makes the sea cucumber fermentation environment more stable and pure, better ensuring that the sea cucumber fermentation process is not disturbed by external factors, improving the success rate of fermentation and product quality. As the amount of gas produced by sea cucumber fermentation increases, the gas enters the annular water seal cavity through a one-way valve. The water vapor in the mixed gas is absorbed by water, achieving preliminary treatment of the fermentation gas and avoiding the adverse effects of water vapor accumulation in the fermentation tank body 1 on sea cucumber fermentation. A pressure sensor 42 is installed in the liquid storage chamber 4 to monitor the fermentation gas pressure. When the gas pressure in the main chamber 43 reaches the maximum gas pressure threshold, the controller controls the drive component 3 to drive the isolation plate component 7 to rotate, realizing the interchange of the positions of the main chamber 43 and the backup chamber 44. This avoids the safety hazards caused by excessive gas pressure in a single chamber, making the fermentation process more stable and safe.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a motor 31, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fermentation cover 2. A bevel gear 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 31. When the motor 31 rotates, it drives the bevel gear 32 to rotate. A drive shaft 33 is coaxially connected to the fermentation cover 2. A bevel gear 34 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive shaft 33. The bevel gear 32 and the bevel gear 34 mesh. When the motor 31 drives the bevel gear 32 to rotate, it also drives the bevel gear 34 to rotate simultaneously.

[0019] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a connecting disk 35 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 33. The connecting disk 35 is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft 33, so that the drive shaft 33 rotates while driving the connecting disk 35 rotates simultaneously. The connecting disk 35 is located below the bevel gear 34. Two spiral rods 36 are fixedly connected above the connecting disk 35. The spiral rods 36 are spiraled upwards and arranged in a ring around the axis of the connecting disk 35. Since both spiral rods 36 are fixedly connected above the connecting disk 35, the connecting disk 35 rotates with the drive shaft 33 while driving the two spiral rods 36 to rotate simultaneously.

[0020] Both isolation plate assemblies 7 include a first connecting plate 71, a second connecting plate 72, a third connecting plate 73, and two semicircular plates 74. One semicircular plate 74 is disposed between the first connecting plate 71 and the second connecting plate 72, and the left and right sides of the semicircular plate 74 are fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting plate 71 and the second connecting plate 72, respectively.

[0021] Another semicircular plate 74 is disposed between connecting plate two 72 and connecting plate three 73. The left and right sides of this semicircular plate 74 are fixedly connected to the other side of connecting plate two 72 and one side of connecting plate three 73, respectively. The other side of connecting plate three 73 abuts against the inner wall of the liquid storage chamber 4. The other side of connecting plate one 71 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 33. The upper and lower sides of connecting plate one 71, connecting plate two 72, connecting plate three 73 and the two semicircular plates 74 abut against the top and bottom of the liquid storage chamber 4, respectively, so that the two partition plate assemblies 7 divide the inner cavity of the liquid storage chamber 4 into two parts, namely the main cavity 43 and the spare cavity 44. When the drive shaft 33 rotates, it drives the two connecting plates one 71 to rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the connecting plate two 72, connecting plate three 73 and the two semicircular plates 74 to rotate simultaneously. In the initial state, when the motor 31 is not rotating, the two semicircular plates 74 are coaxial with the liquid inlet 41 and the air extraction port 45, respectively. After the motor 31 rotates, the drive shaft 33 drives the connecting plate 71, the connecting plate 72, the connecting plate 73 and the two semicircular plates 74 to rotate simultaneously, so that the two semicircular plates 74 gradually deviate from the liquid inlet 41 and the air extraction port 45, respectively. As the drive shaft 33 continues to rotate, another isolation plate assembly 7 fixedly connected to the drive shaft 33 rotates at the same time. The two semicircular plates 74 in the isolation plate assembly 7 gradually approach the liquid inlet 41 and the air extraction port 45, respectively, until the two semicircular plates 74 in the isolation plate assembly 7 are coaxial with the liquid inlet 41 and the air extraction port 45, respectively. At this time, the position switching between the main cavity 43 and the spare cavity 44 is completed.

[0022] The piston assembly 9 includes a piston ring 91 and several slide rods 92. The piston ring 91 is slidably connected inside the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 and is coaxially arranged with the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8. The several slide rods 92 are arranged in a ring around the axis of the annular exhaust chamber assembly 8, and the lower ends of the several slide rods 92 are fixedly connected to the piston ring 91.

[0023] The annular exhaust chamber assembly 8 includes a chamber body 84 and a chamber cover 85. The chamber cover 85 is fixedly connected to the top of the chamber body 84. The piston ring 91 is slidably connected inside the chamber body 84. Several sliding rods 92 are slidably connected to the chamber cover 85. An air outlet 82 and an air inlet 81 are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the chamber body 84.

[0024] A connecting plate 93 is provided at the upper end of several sliding rods 92. The upper ends of several sliding rods 92 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 93. A spring 94 is coaxially provided on several sliding rods 92. The upper end of the spring 94 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 92, and the lower end of the spring 94 is fixedly connected to the cover 85.

[0025] The piston assembly 9 also includes two L-shaped rods 95, a connecting disc 35, and two helical rods 36, all located below the connecting plate 93. The upper ends of the L-shaped rods 95 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 93, and the lower ends of the L-shaped rods 95 are fixedly connected to rubber wheels 96. The two rubber wheels 96 abut against the two helical rods 36 respectively. When the drive shaft 33 drives the connecting disc 35 and the two helical rods 36 to rotate, the helical rods 36 and the rubber wheels 96 rotate relative to each other. Since the rubber wheels 96 abut against the helical rods 36, as the helical rods 36 rotate about the axis of the drive shaft 33, the rubber wheels 96 move upward, thereby causing the L-shaped rods 95 to move upward. During the process, the spring 94 is stretched, causing the piston ring 91 to move upward, thereby drawing the fermentation gas in the main chamber 43 or the spare chamber 44 into the chamber 84 through the exhaust port 45, the second check valve 83, and the inlet port 81, until the rubber wheel 96 disengages from one of the screw rods 36 it is in contact with and then engages with the other screw rod 36, completing the extraction of the fermentation gas in the main chamber 43 or the spare chamber 44. At this time, under the action of the spring 94, the slide rod 92 causes the connecting plate 93 and the piston ring 91 to move downward, thereby causing the piston ring 91 to squeeze the fermentation gas in the chamber 84 into the container for storage through the outlet port 82 and the second check valve 83.
