Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vinegar production fermentation, and specifically, to a liquid fermentation device for vinegar production. Background Technique
[0002] Vinegar is a multifunctional condiment. It can sterilize, disinfect, enhance the flavor of food, and stimulate appetite. The vinegar production fermentation device is a series of specialized equipment for producing vinegar, which jointly simulate and optimize the natural fermentation process to produce high-quality vinegar on a large scale. During the liquid fermentation process of vinegar, slow stirring can accelerate the internal chemical reaction, thereby accelerating the fermentation of vinegar and improving production efficiency. After the vinegar is fermented and transferred for storage, there will inevitably be residual vinegar and impurities inside the fermentation device. At present, the internal components of the existing vinegar liquid fermentation device cannot be automatically cleaned after use. If there is too much scale inside the device, it will affect the quality of the vinegar fermented next time, and manual cleaning is also very troublesome. In view of this, we propose a liquid fermentation device for vinegar production. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] Embodiment 1
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a liquid fermentation device for vinegar production, including a fermentation tank 1. A top plate 6 is fixedly arranged on the upper side of the fermentation tank 1. An inlet hopper and a water injection port are fixedly arranged on the upper side of the top plate 6. When using this device, the user opens the valve of the inlet hopper on the upper side of the top plate 6 and puts raw materials into the fermentation tank 1. After the raw materials are put in, the valve on one side of the inlet hopper is tightened to prevent air from entering the fermentation tank 1 and affecting the fermentation quality. A plurality of stirring blades 2 are rotatably arranged inside the fermentation tank 1. A motor 3 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the fermentation tank 1. The rotating shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring blades 2. When the vinegar inside the fermentation tank 1 is fermenting, the user starts the motor 3 to drive the plurality of stirring blades 2 to slowly rotate to continuously stir the fermenting vinegar to accelerate the production efficiency of the device. In order to facilitate the user to take out the fermented vinegar, a discharge port is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the fermentation tank 1. After the vinegar is fermented, the user opens the valve on one side of the discharge port and transfers and stores the finished vinegar.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 - Figure 5As shown in the figure, a spraying assembly 7 is provided on the lower side of the top plate 6. The spraying assembly 7 is arranged inside the fermentation tank 1. A water pipe is fixedly connected between the water injection port on the upper side of the top plate 6 and the spraying assembly 7. The spraying assembly 7 includes a fixed block 71. The fixed block 71 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the top plate 6. A notch is formed on the lower side of the fixed block 71. A turntable 72 is rotatably arranged inside the notch. A spray head 73 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the turntable 72. After the finished vinegar is transferred and stored, the user opens the water injection port on the upper side of the top plate 6 and injects a special cleaning agent into it. Subsequently, the cleaning agent is sprayed into the fermentation tank 1 through the spray head 73. At the same time, the turntable 72 drives the spray head 73 to rotate inside the fermentation tank 1, so that the spray head 73 evenly sprays the cleaning agent on the components inside the fermentation tank 1. On one side of each of the plurality of stirring blades 2, a descaling assembly 4 is provided. The descaling assembly 4 includes a limit block 41. The limit block 41 is fixedly arranged on the upper side of the stirring blade 2. A toothed block 42 is fixedly arranged inside the limit block 41. A gear 43 is meshed with one side of the toothed block 42. A scraper 44 is slidably arranged on the lower side of the limit block 41. The scraper 44 is attached to both sides of the stirring blade 2. The scraper 44 is used to scrape off the impurities on both sides of the stirring blade 2. A motor 45 is fixedly arranged on one side of the scraper 44. The rotating shaft of the motor 45 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the gear 43. After the spray head 73 sprays enough cleaning agent into the fermentation tank 1, the user starts the motor 45 to drive the gear 43 to rotate. The gear 43 drives the scraper 44 to move back and forth closely along the surface of the stirring blade 2, scraping off the impurities and scale on the surface of the stirring blade 2. A cleaning assembly 5 is arranged between two adjacent stirring blades 2. The cleaning assembly 5 includes a support arm 51. The support arm 51 is rotatably arranged on one side of the rotating shaft of the stirring blade 2. The support arm 51 can be bent. A cleaning brush 52 is fixedly arranged on the side of the support arm 51 away from the rotating shaft of the stirring blade 2. One side of the cleaning brush 52 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped side of the cleaning brush 52 is attached to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. The arc-shaped side of the cleaning brush 52 is made of rubber material. While the descaling assembly 4 cleans both sides of the stirring blade 2, the support arm 51 extends outwards to drive the cleaning brush 52 to stick to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. At this time, the user starts the motor 3 to drive the cleaning brush 52 to scrape the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, scraping off the impurities on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. After cleaning the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, the user retracts the support arm 51 inwards to store the cleaning brush 52. After cleaning the components inside the fermentation tank 1 and the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, the user discharges the sewage by opening the discharge port on the lower side of the fermentation tank 1. Subsequently, by adding clean water to the water injection port on the upper side of the top plate 6, the inside of the fermentation tank 1 can be flushed again to keep it clean inside.
[0026] When the liquid fermentation device for vinegar production in this embodiment is specifically used, the user injects a special cleaning agent into the interior of the device after use. Subsequently, the spray head 73 evenly sprays the cleaning agent into the fermentation tank 1. At the same time, the descaling component 4 repeatedly scrapes both sides of the stirring blade 2, so that the impurities attached to both sides fall off. Then, the cleaning brush 52 rotates closely against the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 to clean it. After cleaning the interior of the fermentation tank 1, the user discharges the sewage by opening the discharge port. This device can quickly and automatically clean its interior after the vinegar is fermented, effectively preventing the long-term accumulation of scale inside the device from affecting the quality of the next produced product. At the same time, removing the impurities inside the fermentation tank 1 can avoid the corrosion of the device by the impurities, thus extending the service life of the device.
[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
