Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fermentation tank technology, and in particular relates to a cleaning device and a fermentation tank. Background Art

[0002] A fermenter is an industrial device used for microbial fermentation. Its main body is generally a cylindrical column made of stainless steel plate, with a volume ranging from 1 m³ to several hundred m³. In design and manufacturing, attention should be paid to a tight and reasonable structure that can withstand steam sterilization, has a certain degree of operational flexibility, minimizes internal accessories, has strong material and energy transfer performance, and can be adjusted to facilitate cleaning, reduce contamination, and is suitable for the production of various products while reducing energy consumption.

[0003] However, existing technologies have some problems: Baijiu production requires the following steps: raw material selection, koji making, fermentation, distillation, aging, blending, and bottling. When rice is fermented, it needs to be poured into a fermentation tank and wait for fermentation. After fermentation, it is moved to the next step. However, during fermentation, the residue or rice grains inside the rice will stick to the fermentation tank, which will affect the quality of Baijiu when the rice is fermented again. Therefore, we propose a cleaning device and a fermentation tank. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To further understand the utility model content, features and effects of this utility model, the following embodiments are provided, and detailed descriptions are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cleaning device, comprising:

[0023] A cover plate 1 is provided. A motor 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate 1. A cleaning rod 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the motor 2. Slots 4 are provided on both sides of the cleaning rod 3. A connecting sleeve 5 is slidably installed inside the slot 4. A connecting rod 6 is detachably installed inside the connecting sleeve 5 by bolts. A rotating rod 801 is rotatably installed inside the connecting rod 6. A cleaning brush 7 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 801.

[0024] Limiting component 8 is located on the front side of connecting rod 6 and rotating rod 801. It is used to limit the insertion of rotating rod 801, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of cleaning brush 7.

[0025] First, insert the connecting sleeve 5 into the slot 4 to fix it. Then, put the connecting rod 6 into the connecting sleeve 5 and place it horizontally. Then, fix it to the connecting sleeve 5 with bolts. At this time, the cleaning brush 7 will be in a vertical state due to its own weight. At this time, the limiting component 8 is needed to limit the rotation rod 801 to prevent the cleaning brush 7 from shaking during operation.

[0026] Before cleaning the liquor fermentation tank, the cover plate 1 should be placed into the liquor fermentation tank as a whole. Then, the connecting rod 6 of different lengths can be replaced according to the size of the liquor fermentation tank. When encountering liquor fermentation tanks that have been aged for a long time, there are too many stubborn impurities inside the fermentation tanks, which are not easy to clean. At this time, the cleaning brush 7 needs to be replaced with a hard material brush so that the stubborn impurities can be cleaned.

[0027] When dealing with baijiu fermentation tanks from recent years, in order to protect the gloss and smoothness of the paint inside the fermentation tank, it is necessary to switch to a soft-bristled brush for cleaning.

[0028] When it is necessary to clean the liquor fermentation tank, the motor 2 can be started first to drive the cleaning rod 3, connecting sleeve 5, connecting rod 6 and cleaning brush 7 to rotate in sequence. The cleaning brush 7 is replaced according to the liquor fermentation tank, so that the rotation of the cleaning brush 7 can achieve the advantage of cleaning the liquor fermentation tank.

[0029] The limiting component 8 includes a sliding rod 803, a rectangular groove 802 is provided at the front end of the rotating rod 801, and the rear end of the sliding rod 803 passes through the interior of the rectangular groove 802 and is inserted into the rectangular groove 802.

[0030] By setting the sliding rod 803, the cleaning brush 7 can be limited before it starts working, preventing the cleaning brush 7 from swinging when it rotates, which would cause the cleaning brush 7 to collide with the inside of the fermentation tank and break.

[0031] A round block 804 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the sliding rod 803, and the back of the round block 804 contacts the front side of the connecting rod 6.

[0032] By setting the circular block 804, the sliding rod 803 can be limited to prevent it from disengaging from the connecting rod 6 when it moves backward, which would cause the sliding rod 803 to get stuck with the connecting rod 6 when it resets.

[0033] A limiting spring 805 is sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 803. The back of the limiting spring 805 is fixedly installed on the front side of the connecting rod 6, and the front end of the limiting spring 805 is fixedly installed on the back of the round block 804.

[0034] By setting the limiting tension spring 805, the round block 804 can be pulled forward. The movement of the round block 804 causes the sliding rod 803 to move forward. The sliding rod 803 will disengage from the rectangular groove 802 when it moves forward. At this time, the cleaning brush 7 in the vertical state can be rotated. When the cleaning brush 7 rotates to the bottom of the connecting rod 6, the sliding rod 803 can be pushed into the rectangular groove 802, thus achieving the advantage of limiting and storing the cleaning brush 7.

[0035] The bottom of the connecting rod 6 is provided with a threaded cover 9, and both sides of the top of the threaded cover 9 are provided with insert rods 10. The bottom of the insert rod 10 contacts the inner wall of the threaded cover 9, the top of the insert rod 10 extends through to the top of the connecting sleeve 5 and slides with the connecting sleeve 5, the top of the insert rod 10 contacts the top of the inner wall of the cleaning rod 3, and the threaded cover 9 and the bottom of the cleaning rod 3 are threadedly installed.

[0036] With the threaded cap 9 and the insert rod 10 in place, the connecting sleeve 5 is first placed inside the slot 4. Then, the insert rod 10 can be pushed into the cleaning rod 3. The top of the insert rod 10 will pass through each connecting sleeve 5 in sequence. Then, the threaded cap 9 and the cleaning rod 3 are threaded together to limit the insertion rod 10. Finally, the connecting rod 6 is placed inside the connecting sleeve 5 and fixed with bolts.

[0037] A fermenter also includes a fermenter body 11, with a feed cover 12 on the top of the fermenter body 11. The bottom of the feed cover 12 contacts the top of the fermenter body 11, the bottom of the cover plate 1 contacts the top of the fermenter body 11, and the threaded cover 9 and the cleaning rod 3 are both located inside the fermenter body 11.

[0038] With the cooperation of the fermentation tank body 11 and the feed cover 12, the feed cover 12 can be placed on top of the fermentation tank body 11 for fermentation. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the fermentation tank body 11, the cover plate 1 can be placed on top of the fermentation tank body 11, and then the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 11 can be cleaned by the cleaning brush 7. After cleaning, the feed cover 12 and the fermentation tank body 11 are fixed.

[0039] Four sets of latches 13 are fixedly installed on the surface of the fermentation tank body 11. Four sets of pull rods 14 are fixedly installed on the four corners of the top of the feed cover 12 and the four corners of the top of the cover plate 1. The latches 13 and the pull rods 14 are engaged.

[0040] With the locking buckle 13 and the pull rod 14 in place, whether it is to ferment the fermentation tank body 11 or to clean the inside of the fermentation tank body 11, the locking buckle 13 and the pull rod 14 are used to limit the movement, thereby preventing the cover plate 1 or the feed cover 12 from separating from the fermentation tank body 11.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
