Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermenters, and in particular to a sight glass mechanism for a fermenter. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN209178370U discloses a sight glass mechanism for a fermenter in the production process of griseofulvin. It includes an annular flange connected to the upper sight glass mounting port of the fermenter body by fixing bolts, and a sight glass located in the middle of the flange. An annular frame is provided on the outer side of the sight glass, located within the inner ring of the flange. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the annular frame, which is connected to the flange by fixing bolts. A lamp holder is fixedly connected to the upper part of the annular frame, with a light fixture facing the sight glass. A switch for controlling the light fixture is located on the outer side of the lamp holder. The system also includes a main steam pipeline, a first and second inlet valve located at the beginning of the main steam pipeline, and a main three-way valve located in the middle of the main steam pipeline. The end of the main steam pipeline passes through the fermenter body and extends into the fermenter body. A steam outlet is provided at the end of the main steam pipeline, facing the inner surface of the sight glass. It has a reasonable structure, can promptly clean water mist, and is equipped with lighting.

[0003] Existing sight glass mechanisms have poor cleaning performance. Generally, they clean the inner surface of the sight glass by blowing in steam. Steam cleaning can only remove stains that easily fall off the surface of the sight glass, and it is difficult to clean stubborn stains that stick to the sight glass, affecting its use. In addition, the fixed position of the steam outlet creates cleaning dead spots, making it inconvenient to use and to install and disassemble the sight glass. During use, the sight glass may break for various reasons and need to be replaced. However, the sight glass is usually fixed to the surface of the fermenter with multiple bolts. When replacing it, tools are required, which is a cumbersome process, increases workload, and reduces work efficiency. In order to solve the above problems, we propose a new sight glass mechanism for fermenters. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sight glass mechanism for a fermenter, which has the advantages of good cleaning effect and easy installation and disassembly of the sight glass.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a sight glass mechanism for a fermenter, comprising a fixed plate, a sight glass disposed between the inner walls of the fixed plate, a limiting ring slidably sleeved on the inner wall of the fixed plate, a rotating ring rotatably sleeved on the surface of the fixed plate, a triangular plate bolted to the inner wall of the rotating ring, a snap-fit ​​rod slidably connected to the surface of the triangular plate, a limiting plate fixedly sleeved on the surface of the snap-fit ​​rod, a spring disposed between the limiting plate and the inner wall of the fixed plate, a snap-fit ​​groove formed on the surface of the limiting ring, and a snap-fit ​​groove snapping on one end of the snap-fit ​​rod, a toothed ring rotatably sleeved on the inner wall of the fixed plate, a cleaning plate bolted to the inner wall of the toothed ring, a gear meshing on the surface of the toothed ring, a rotating shaft fixedly sleeved at the axis of the gear, a motor bolted to the top of the rotating shaft, and the motor bolted to the top of the fixed plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the handle causes the rotating ring to rotate, which in turn causes the triangular plate to rotate. The rotation of the triangular plate causes the locking rod to move under the action of the spring. The movement of the locking rod disengages from the locking groove, allowing the limit ring to be removed and the sight glass to be taken out. This method facilitates assembly and disassembly, reduces workload, and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the method of using a motor to drive a rotating shaft, which in turn drives a gear, which in turn drives a gear ring, which in turn drives a cleaning plate. This cleaning plate cleans the sight glass effectively, ensuring the sight glass's performance and improving the quality of cleaning.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a handle is bolted to the surface of the rotating ring.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, a handle is provided to facilitate the rotation of the rotating ring.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a protective shell is bolted to the top of the fixed plate, and the motor is located inside the protective shell.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor is protected by setting up a protective shell.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the cleaning plate is made of rubber.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and using rubber material, the cleaning effect is good and it does not damage the eyeglasses.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a lighting lamp is embedded in the surface of the viewing mirror.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, lighting is provided by setting up lighting lamps, making it convenient to use.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that one end of the snap-fit ​​rod is wedge-shaped.

[0016] The above technical solution involves setting one end of the locking rod to be wedge-shaped.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that mounting holes are provided on the surface of the fixed disk.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting mounting holes, it is easy to install and fix it to the fermentation tank.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This utility model achieves the purpose of easy assembly and disassembly by rotating the handle, which drives the rotating ring to rotate, which in turn drives the triangular plate to rotate, and the triangular plate to rotate, causing the locking rod to move under the action of the spring. The movement of the locking rod disengages from the locking groove, allowing the limiting ring and the sight glass to be removed. This reduces the workload and improves work efficiency.

[0021] 2. This utility model uses a motor to drive a rotating shaft, which in turn drives a gear, which in turn drives a gear ring, which in turn drives a cleaning plate. The cleaning plate then cleans the sight glass, achieving a good cleaning effect, ensuring the sight glass's performance, and improving the quality of cleaning. Attached Figure Description

The movement of the locking rod 6 disengages it from the locking groove 9, allowing the limit ring 3 to be removed and the sight glass 2 to be removed, thus completing the disassembly. During installation, place the sight glass 2 into the fixing plate 1, then insert the limit ring 3. Rotate handle 15 in the opposite direction, which drives the rotating ring 4 to rotate, causing the locking rod 6 to engage with the locking groove 9, thus fixing the limit ring 3 and securing the sight glass 2, completing the installation and facilitating the installation and disassembly of the sight glass 2. The rotation of motor 14 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning plate 11 to rotate. The cleaning plate 11 rotates to clean the sight glass 2, achieving a good cleaning effect.
