DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-Figure 5 The tea wine fermentation tank shown in the figure includes a base 2, which is circular. Three legs 1 are fixedly installed on the lower side of the base 2 for support. A return liquid tank 6, a cooling box 7, and a fermentation barrel 8 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the driven gear 3. The return liquid tank 6, the cooling box 7, and the fermentation barrel 8 are concentrically arranged. The cooling box 7 is filled with coolant, and the cooling box 7 is used to recover the coolant. An electromagnetic valve is set between the return liquid tank 6 and the cooling box 7. The fermentation barrel 8 is used for fermentation. The raw materials are injected into the fermentation barrel 8 for mixed fermentation, and the temperature is controlled. A temperature sensor is set in the fermentation barrel 8 to monitor the temperature in real time.

[0024] In this embodiment, a central rod 16 is rotatably installed in the fermentation barrel 8, and two cavities are arranged in the central rod 16, namely a water inlet bin 19 and a water outlet bin 20. Two cooling pipes 17 and two cooling pipes 2 18 are fixedly installed on the central rod 16. The first end of the cooling pipe 17 is connected to the water inlet bin 19 for water intake, and the second end of the cooling pipe 17 is connected to the water outlet bin 20 for water return; the first end of the cooling pipe 2 18 is connected to the water inlet bin 19 for water intake, and the second end of the cooling pipe 2 18 is connected to the water outlet bin 20 for water return.

[0025] A connecting pipe 15 is fixedly mounted on the center rod 16, and two channels are arranged in the connecting pipe 15, which are respectively connected to the water inlet bin 19 and the water outlet bin 20. The two channels of the connecting pipe 15 are respectively connected to the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 13. The water inlet pipe 11 is inserted into the cooling box 7, and the coolant in the cooling box 7 can enter the water inlet pipe 11 and finally flow into cooling pipe 1 17 and cooling pipe 2 18. A rotating ring 9 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the fermentation barrel 8, and a pump 10 and a pump 2 14 are slidably mounted on the rotating ring 9. The pump 10 is connected to the water inlet pipe 11 to transport the coolant to the center rod 16, and the pump 2 14 is connected to the water outlet pipe 13 to draw the coolant back from the center rod 16.

[0026] Two fixing rods 12 are fixedly mounted on the connecting pipe 15. The two fixing rods 12 are vertically arranged with the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 13, and do not interfere with each other during rotation. The lower ends of the two fixing rods 12 are jointly fixed with a driven gear 3, and the driven gear 3 is rotatably mounted on the base 2. A motor 4 is fixedly mounted on one side of the base 2. A driving gear 5 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 4. The driving gear 5 is meshed with the driven gear 3 to drive the driven gear 3 to rotate.

[0027] The working principle of a tea and wine fermentation tank in the present embodiment is as follows: all raw materials are put into a fermentation barrel 8 for fermentation. During the fermentation process, the motor 4 is started, and the motor 4 drives the driving gear 5 to rotate. The driving gear 5 rotates and drives the driven gear 3 to rotate. The driven gear 3 drives the connecting pipe 15 and the center rod 16 to rotate through the fixed rod 12. The center rod 16 drives the cooling tube 17 and the cooling tube 2 18 to stir the raw materials so that they are fully fermented. At the same time, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature in real time. Under normal circumstances, the cooling box 7 is filled with coolant, which can cool the fermentation barrel 8 to a certain extent. If the temperature rises further, start pump 10 and pump 2 14. Pump 10 sends the coolant to the water inlet pipe 11 through the water inlet bin 19 into the cooling tube 17. While stirring, it can be cooled from the inside. In the process, pump 10 and pump 2 14 rotate on the rotating ring 9, the water inlet pipe 11 rotates in the cooling box 7, and the water outlet pipe 13 rotates in the return liquid tank 6, and all parts do not interfere with each other.

[0028] The present invention is further described above with the aid of specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description here should not be construed as limiting the essence and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made to the above embodiments by ordinary technicians in the field after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
