Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fermentation tanks, in particular to a stirring mechanism and a fermentation tank. Background Art

[0002] Winemaking generally refers to the process of converting sugars in raw materials such as vegetables, fruits or grains into alcohol and carbon dioxide through the action of microorganisms. The raw materials need to be chopped and added to the fermentation tank and mixed evenly with yeast for fermentation. The fermentation process can easily cause stratification of the fermented raw materials, which may affect the fermentation effect. Stratification may cause uneven distribution of yeast and sugar in some areas, thereby affecting the yeast's utilization of sugar and production of ethanol, which may lead to different fermentation speeds, reduced fermentation efficiency, or affect the quality and taste of the finished product.

[0003] At the same time, the brewing of some wines requires adding raw materials in batches during the fermentation process. The ladders of existing fermentation tanks are generally vertical to the ground and parallel to the tank body. This makes the center of gravity of personnel carrying raw materials climb the fermentation tank backward, which poses certain safety hazards when climbing. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , which is the first embodiment of the utility model, provides a stirring mechanism, which includes a tank body 100, a container for mixing and fermenting raw materials, a mounting shell 200 disposed on the tank body 100, used to protect a motor 300, a motor 300 disposed in the mounting shell 200, used to connect to a power supply to output power to drive a mixing component 400 to move, and,

[0036] The mixing component 400 includes a transfer assembly 401 arranged at the output end of the motor 300, which is used to transmit the power of the motor 300 to drive the first stirring assembly 402 and the second stirring assembly 403 to move; the first stirring assembly 402 arranged at the lower end of the transfer assembly 401 is used to stir the raw materials in the middle position of the tank body 100 and drive the raw materials to move upward; and the second stirring assembly 403 arranged at the lower end of the transfer assembly 401 is used to stir the raw materials around the tank body 100 and drive the raw materials to move downward.

[0037] Among them, the transfer assembly 401 includes a first connecting shaft 401a arranged at the output end of the motor 300, which is used to drive the first connecting shaft 401a to rotate when the motor 300 is started, the bottom end of the first connecting shaft 401a is fixedly connected to the first stirring assembly 402, and the second connecting shaft 401b is sleeved on the first connecting shaft 401a. The bottom end of the second connecting shaft 401b is fixedly connected to the second stirring assembly 403, a transmission member 401c arranged between the first connecting shaft 401a and the second connecting shaft 401b, which is used to drive the second connecting shaft 401b to rotate by rotating the first connecting shaft 401a, and a protective shell 401d arranged on the outer wall of the transmission member 401c, which is used to protect the transmission member 401c.

[0038] Furthermore, the transmission member 401c includes a first bevel gear 401c-1 arranged on the first connecting shaft 401a, which is used to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the first connecting shaft 401a, a second bevel gear 401c-2 arranged on the second connecting shaft 401b, and a third bevel gear 401c-3 arranged between the first bevel gear 401c-1 and the second bevel gear 401c-2, which is used to drive the third bevel gear 401c-3 to rotate through the rotation of the first bevel gear 401c-1, and the rotation of the third bevel gear 401c-3 drives the second bevel gear 401c-2 to rotate, the rotation direction of the first bevel gear 401c-1 is opposite to the rotation direction of the second bevel gear 401c-2, and a support frame 401c-4 arranged on the third bevel gear 401c-3, which is used to support the third bevel gear 401c-3, and the third bevel gear 401c-3 and the support frame 401c-4 are rotationally connected, and the support frame 401c-4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 401d.

[0039] During use, after the raw materials are put into the tank body 100, the motor 300 is started to drive the first connecting shaft 401a to rotate. The rotation of the first connecting shaft 401a drives the first stirring component 402 to rotate. At this time, the first bevel gear 401c-1 rotates with the rotation of the first connecting shaft 401a. At this time, the second bevel gear 401c-2 drives the second connecting shaft 401b to rotate through the rotation of the third bevel gear 401c-3, thereby causing the second stirring component 403 to rotate, and cooperate with the first stirring component 402 to mix the raw materials in the tank body 100.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 ,as well as Figure 6 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the raw materials in the fermentation tank are always in a uniformly mixed state.

[0042] Compared with Example 1, further, the first stirring component 402 includes a rotating rod 402a arranged at the bottom end of the first connecting shaft 401a, which is used to support the spiral blade 402b and drive the spiral blade 402b to rotate, and a spiral blade 402b arranged on the rotating rod 402a, which is used to rotate and drive the raw material in the middle of the tank body 100 to move upward. The upper end of the spiral blade 402b is lower than the height of the tank body 100, so that when the raw material is sent to the top by the spiral blade 402b, it will not cause squeezing on the top of the tank body 100. Under the action of gravity, the raw material sent up will spread out and fall on the upper surface of the raw material in the tank body 100.

[0043] Among them, the second stirring component 403 includes a connecting plate 403a arranged at the lower end of the second connecting shaft 401b, which is used to cooperate with the second connecting shaft 401b to rotate and drive the spiral scraper 403b to rotate; spiral scrapers 403b are arranged at both ends of the connecting plate 403a, the spiral scraper 403b fits the inner wall of the tank body 100, and is used to rotate and transport the raw materials below the edge position of the tank body 100, and prevent the raw materials from sticking to the inner wall of the tank body 100; a connecting ring 403c is arranged on the spiral scraper 403b, which is used to enhance the rotation stability and strength of the spiral scraper 403b, the connecting ring 403c fits the inner wall of the tank body 100, and a connecting bottom plate 403d is arranged at the bottom end of the spiral scraper 403b, which is used to cooperate with the connecting plate 403a and the connecting ring 403c to connect the two groups of spiral scrapers 403b into a stable whole, thereby enhancing the stability during rotation.

[0044] During use, when the motor 300 is started, the first connecting shaft 401a drives the spiral blade 402b to rotate through the rotating rod 402a, and the raw materials in the middle of the tank body 100 are transported upward. At this time, the surrounding raw materials tend to collapse toward the middle of the tank body 100. Since the rotation directions of the first connecting shaft 401a and the second connecting shaft 401b are opposite, the second connecting shaft 401b drives the spiral scraper 403b to rotate in a direction opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral blade 402b. At this time, the spiral scraper 403b rotates to transport the fillets around the tank body 100 downward. At this time, the raw materials in the two moving directions collide, and the continuous up and down transportation of the raw materials makes the raw materials more evenly distributed.

[0045] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 1.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 ,as well as Figure 8 , which is the third embodiment of the utility model. This embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the safety of the staff when adding materials is increased.

[0048] Compared with Example 2, further, a fermentation tank includes a supporting leg 500 arranged at the bottom of the tank body 100, which is used to support the tank body 100, a feed port 600 arranged on the tank body 100, which is used to add raw materials into the tank body 100, a discharge port is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 100, which is used to discharge the raw materials, and a ladder 700 is arranged on the side of the tank body 100 close to the feed port 600, which is used for staff to climb, add raw materials into the tank body 100 through the feed port 600, and observe the fermentation status of the raw materials.

[0049] The support legs 500 are arranged in an inclined state, and the bottom to the top of the support legs 500 have a tendency to be inclined toward the outside of the tank body 100 , so as to increase the stability when supporting the tank body 100 .

[0050] Among them, the feed port 600 includes a pipe mouth 601 set on the tank body 100, which is used to add raw materials into the tank body 100, and a cover plate 602 set on the pipe mouth 601 is rotated to close the pipe mouth 601 and isolate the inside of the tank body 100 from the outside world, and a handle 603 set on the cover plate 602 is rotated by a hinge to open the cover plate 602.

[0051] Among them, the ladder 700 includes a connecting rod 701 arranged on the side of the tank body 100 close to the feed port 600, which is used to support the ladder frame 702, the ladder frame 702 arranged on the connecting rod 701, which is used for the staff to grasp and climb up, the pedal 703 arranged on the ladder frame 702, which is used for the staff to step on, and the anti-slip groove 704 opened on the pedal 703, which is used to increase the anti-slip performance of the pedal 703.

[0052] Among them, multiple groups of connecting rods 701 are vertically arranged, and the connecting rods 701 tend to be gradually lengthened from top to bottom, so that the upper end of the ladder frame 702 is relatively close to the tank body 100, and the lower end of the ladder frame 702 is relatively far away from the tank body 100, so that the entire ladder frame 702 is inclined, which is convenient for climbing.

[0053] During use, when raw materials need to be added into the tank body 100, the staff can climb up by grasping the ladder frame 702 with their hands and stepping on the pedal 703. When the staff climbs, the center of gravity moves forward to form downward pressure on the ladder 700 and thrust toward the tank body 100, making the climbing action more stable.

[0054] The remaining structure is the same as that of Example 2.

[0055] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
