The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application or the above-mentioned figures are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order; the terms "inside", "outside", "left", and "right" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0019] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] The utility model embodiment provides a sauerkraut fermentation exhaust device, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the sauerkraut fermentation exhaust device includes: a shell 1; a sealing pad 2, which is fixedly mounted on the top inner wall of the shell 1, and the sealing pad 2 can contact the feeding opening of the sauerkraut fermentation tank; an inflation tube 7, which is fixed on the shell 1, and a one-way valve 10 is provided on the inflation tube 7; a connecting hose 8, which is fixed on the inflation tube 7; an air bag 9, which is fixed on the connecting hose 8, and the air bag 9 is located at the bottom of the shell 1; two limit assemblies, both of which are arranged on the shell 1, and the two limit assemblies are used to clamp and stabilize the shell 1; a deflation assembly, which is arranged on the shell 1, and is used to discharge gas.

[0021] In this embodiment, the shell 1 serves as the main structure of the entire exhaust device and provides a basis for installation and fixation of other components. The sealing gasket 2 can contact the feeding opening of the sauerkraut fermentation tank to achieve sealing of the device and prevent air from entering from the feeding port, thereby ensuring the purity of the fermentation environment. The inflation tube 7 is used to inflate the interior of the device. The one-way valve 10 ensures that gas can only flow in one direction to prevent gas backflow. When the airbag 9 is inflated through the inflation tube 7, the airbag 9 will expand and push the sauerkraut, thereby discharging the air in the gap of the sauerkraut. At the same time, the airbag 9 can more comprehensively block the space in the fermentation tank, thereby reducing the air in the fermentation tank and effectively shortening the time for anaerobic bacteria to consume oxygen. The limiting component is used to clamp and stabilize the shell 1 to prevent the device from moving or tilting during the inflation process, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the operation. The deflation component allows the gas to be discharged quickly and effectively under specific circumstances (such as adjusting the air pressure, ending fermentation, etc.), thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the device.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the limiting assembly includes a first threaded rod 3, a clamping plate 4 and an anti-slip pad 5, the first threaded rod 3 is threadedly mounted on the shell 1, the clamping plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the first threaded rod 3, the anti-slip pad 5 is fixed on the clamping plate 4, and the two first threaded rods 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the shell 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the distance between the two clamps 4 can be adjusted by rotating the first threaded rod 3. The clamps 4 are designed to contact the outer surface of the sauerkraut fermentation tank to fix the entire exhaust device. The anti-slip pad 5 is used to increase the friction between the clamps 4 and the sauerkraut fermentation tank to prevent the device from slipping due to vibration or movement during the fermentation process, thereby further ensuring the stability and safety of the device. The two first threaded rods 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the shell 1. This symmetrical design not only ensures the balance of the device when it is fixed, but also makes the fixation more secure, thereby preventing the device from shaking or tilting during the fermentation process.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the deflation assembly includes a mounting frame 13, a fixing plate 16, a plurality of springs 17, a bottom plate 18 and a blocking block 19, the mounting frame 13 is fixed to the top of the shell 1, the fixing plate 16 is installed on the mounting frame 13, the plurality of springs 17 are fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate 16, the bottom plate 18 is fixed to the bottom of the plurality of springs 17, the blocking block 19 is fixed to the bottom of the bottom plate 18, and an exhaust port is provided at the top of the shell 1, and the blocking block 19 can extend into the exhaust port.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 13 serves as a supporting structure of the air-deflating assembly to ensure the stability and reliability of the air-deflating assembly. The fixing plate 16 provides an installation base for the spring 17. When subjected to external force, the spring 17 will deform to provide elastic restoring force. This design enables the air-deflating assembly to have the ability to automatically reset. The bottom plate 18 moves up and down with the expansion and contraction of the spring 17. When the bottom plate 18 descends, the block 19 will extend into the exhaust port at the top of the shell 1, thereby closing the exhaust port. When the bottom plate 18 rises, the block 19 will move out of the exhaust port to allow gas to be discharged. Through the expansion and contraction of the spring 17, the air-deflating assembly can achieve automatic exhaust and closure. When it is necessary to discharge gas, external force causes the bottom plate 18 to rise, the block 19 to move out of the exhaust port, and the gas is discharged.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a second threaded rod 15 is threadedly mounted on the mounting frame 13 , the second threaded rod 15 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 16 , and an adjustment block 6 is fixed to both the first threaded rod 3 and the second threaded rod 15 .

[0027] In this embodiment, the position of the fixed plate 16 can be adjusted by rotating the second threaded rod 15, thereby changing the compression degree of the spring 17. This design allows the user to adjust the degree of closure of the exhaust port by the blocking block 19 according to actual needs, thereby controlling the exhaust conditions, increasing the flexibility and controllability of the device. The design of the adjustment block 6 allows the user to adjust the air release component through simple operations, thereby improving the usability of the device. Through the design of the second threaded rod 15 and the adjustment block 6, the user can easily adjust the air release component, control the exhaust speed, and meet the exhaust volume requirements in different fermentation stages. This flexibility and controllability help to improve the quality and efficiency of sauerkraut fermentation.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, an exhaust pipe 11 is fixedly mounted on the inflation tube 7 , a valve 12 is provided on the exhaust pipe 11 , and a film layer is pasted on the inner wall and the outer wall of the airbag 9 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 11 serves as an independent channel for discharging the gas in the airbag 9, and the valve 12 is used to control the opening and closing of the exhaust pipe 11. The thin film layer can effectively prevent the gas or liquid from leaking out from the wall of the airbag 9, thereby ensuring the sealing and durability of the airbag 9. The thin film layer can also prevent the erosion of the airbag 9 by foreign substances, thereby extending the service life of the airbag 9.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, two anti-slip covers 14 are provided on the mounting frame 13, both of which can come into contact with the hands of a person, and an isolation net 20 is fixed in the exhaust port, and the isolation net 20 is used to isolate impurities.

[0031] In this embodiment, the anti-slip sleeve 14 is designed to contact the hands of personnel. When the operator needs to rotate the second threaded rod 15 or other parts that require manual adjustment, the operator can stabilize the operation by holding the anti-slip sleeve 14, thereby improving the convenience and safety of the operation. The anti-slip texture of the anti-slip sleeve 14 can effectively prevent the hands from slipping during operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the adjustment process. The isolation net 20 is used to isolate and prevent impurities from entering the exhaust port, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the exhaust port and the cleanliness of the interior of the device. The exhaust port is the part that is directly connected to the external environment of the sauerkraut fermentation exhaust device. If there are no effective protective measures, impurities and pollutants in the external environment can easily enter the interior of the device through the exhaust port, thereby adversely affecting the sauerkraut fermentation process.

[0032] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of the springs 17 are provided with a limiting telescopic rod 21, the top and bottom of the plurality of the limiting telescopic rods 21 are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 16 and the bottom plate 18 respectively, and the blocking block 19 is made of rubber.

[0033] In this embodiment, the presence of the limiting telescopic rod 21 provides additional support and guidance for the expansion and contraction of the spring 17, ensuring the stability and linearity of the spring 17 during the expansion and contraction process, and avoiding the twisting or deviation of the spring 17. When the spring 17 is subjected to a large external force, the limiting telescopic rod 21 can limit the excessive deformation of the spring 17, thereby extending the service life of the spring 17. Since the limiting telescopic rod 21 ensures the expansion and contraction accuracy of the spring 17, the block 19 can more accurately control the opening and closing of the exhaust port, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the exhaust device.

[0034] To sum up, compared with the related art, the present device can inflate the airbag 9 by setting the inflation tube 7, so that the airbag 9 is expanded to squeeze the sauerkraut raw materials. At the same time, the airbag 9 can fill the surplus space in the fermentation tank after expansion, so that the air in the fermentation tank can be discharged, thereby effectively increasing the rate at which aerobic bacteria consume oxygen and reducing the time that the sauerkraut is exposed to the air, thereby preventing the sauerkraut from spoiling. By setting the spring 17 and the block 19, the air can be automatically discharged when the air pressure in the fermentation tank is high. By setting the sealing pad 2, the sealing effect between the present device and the fermentation tank can be increased.

[0035] In the several embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that the disclosed device can be implemented in other ways.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on these embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
