[0036] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, the specific working principle is as follows:

[0037] For the fermenter with an auxiliary separation function, the materials are placed inside the fermentation barrel 4 to ensure that the materials are fermented inside the fermentation barrel 4. During the fermentation process, the liquid generated by the fermentation of the materials will be discharged to the outside of the fermentation barrel 4 through the filter screen 7 at the bottom of the fermentation barrel 4 and the liquid discharge holes 5 in the upper half respectively. Among them, the liquid discharged from the liquid discharge holes 5 will flow into the area between the upper half of the fermentation barrel 4 and the sealed tank 1, and then the liquid will flow into the inner bottom of the sealed tank 1 along the preset liquid guide groove 14. At the same time, the liquid flowing out of the liquid discharge holes 5 and the liquid flowing out of the inside of the filter screen 7 will converge at the inner bottom of the sealed tank 1. The liquid generated during the fermentation process is discharged out of the equipment through the liquid discharge port 2. The upper half of the fermented materials inside the fermentation barrel 4 is drained through the liquid discharge holes 5, and at the same time, the bottom of the fermented materials is drained through the filter screen 7 to ensure that the water content of each part inside the fermented materials is uniform and prevent adverse effects on the fermentation effect due to inconsistent water content in different parts;

[0038] Operate the lock 17 to separate the sealed tank 1 from the sealing cover 3, and then pull the two handles 11 to drive the sealing cover 3 to move, realizing the separation of the sealing cover 3 from the sealed tank 1. During this process, the connecting block 10 is engaged and connected to the inside of the installation groove 9 to ensure that the sealing cover 3 can drive the fermentation barrel 4 to be taken out of the sealed tank 1. When the sealing cover 3 and the fermentation barrel 4 are separated from the sealed tank 1, use the support feet 8 at the bottom of the fermentation barrel 4 to stably place it on a plane. Subsequently, by rotating the sealing cover 3, the connecting block 10 is driven to move inside the installation groove 9 until the connecting block 10 is completely separated from the installation groove 9, thereby realizing the separation of the sealing cover 3 from the fermentation barrel 4. At this time, the fermentation barrel 4 will be in an open state, facilitating the addition or taking of materials;

[0039] When the fermentation barrel 4 needs to be installed inside the sealed tank 1, the fermentation barrel 4 can be directly installed inside the sealed tank 1 alone, or after the fermentation barrel 4 and the sealing cover 3 are connected to each other, the fermentation barrel 4 can be installed inside the sealed tank 1 during the process of installing the sealing cover 3 on the top of the sealed tank 1. During this process, by operating the two handles 11 to drive the rotation of the sealing cover 3, the connecting block 10 inside the sealing cover 3 moves inside the installation groove 9 until the connecting block 10 is engaged inside the installation groove 9. At this time, the sealing cover 3 is installed on the top of the sealed tank 1, so that the sealing strip 13 at the bottom of the sealing cover 3 is connected to the sealing groove 15 at the top of the sealed tank 1, maintaining the sealing performance at the connection between the sealed tank 1 and the sealing cover 3. At the same time, the fixing frame 6 outside the fermentation barrel 4 will be engaged with the inside of the hook 16, and the fermentation barrel 4 is supported by multiple hooks 16, and at the same time, the fermentation barrel 4 is fixed inside the sealed tank 1 to prevent the fermentation barrel 4 from rotating. When the sealed tank 1 and the sealing cover 3 are in a mutually attached state, the connection between the sealed tank 1 and the sealing cover 3 is reinforced by the lock 17;

[0040] When the sealed tank 1 and the sealing cover 3 need to be separated, at this time, rotate the rotary handle 19 around the fixed plate 18, so that the rotary handle 19 rotates upward, thereby driving the lock catch 20 to move upward through the rotary handle 19, so that the inner side of the upper end of the lock catch 20 is separated from the side of the sealing cover 3. Then rotate the lock catch 20 around its connection with the rotary handle 19, so that the lock catch 20 rotates downward until the lock catch 20 does not interfere with the sealing cover 3. At this time, the sealing cover 3 can be separated from the sealed tank 1 by pulling the handle 11;

[0041] When the sealed tank 1 and the sealing cover 3 are connected to each other, at this time, rotate the rotary handle 19 around the fixed plate 18, so that the rotary handle 19 drives the lock catch 20 to move upward until the inner side of the upper end of the lock catch 20 is located at the top of the side of the sealing cover 3. At this time, operate the rotary handle 19 to rotate downward around the fixed plate 18, and at the same time keep the lock catch 20 parallel to the sealed tank 1 until the inner side of the upper end of the lock catch 20 is attached to the side of the sealing cover 3. At the same time, continue to rotate the rotary handle 19 downward, thereby applying a downward force to the lock catch 20, and further applying a downward force to the side of the sealing cover 3 by the lock catch 20, applying pressure to the connection between the sealed tank 1 and the sealing cover 3, so that the connection between the sealed tank 1 and the sealing cover 3 is tighter.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
