[0033] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiment

[0034] Refer to Figures 1 - 3 , this embodiment discloses a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the fermentation tank 101, including a scraper 107, a material guiding part 108 and a telescopic device. The scraper 107 is used to connect to the bottom end of the stirring mechanism 103 and clean the inner wall of the fermentation tank 101. The material guiding part 108 is fixedly connected to the scraper 107;

[0035] The stirring mechanism 103 is used to be rotatably installed on the tank cover 106 and stir the sauce in the fermentation tank 101; the telescopic device is installed on the fermentation tank 101 and is used to drive the tank cover 106 to move vertically up and down;

[0036] An outlet 105 for discharging materials is provided on the fermentation tank. The material guiding part 108 is slidably installed in the outlet 105 and is used to guide the sauce out of the fermentation tank 101.

[0037] In the present utility model, through holes are provided on the material guiding part. After the telescopic device 102 drives the tank cover 106 to move vertically upward, materials can be added into the fermentation tank 101 through the gap between the tank cover 106 and the fermentation tank 101. After the materials enter the fermentation tank 101, the telescopic device 102 drives the tank cover 106 to move vertically downward until it contacts the fermentation tank 101. At this time, the bottom end of the material guiding part 108 passes through the discharge port 105 and extends outside the fermentation tank 101, and the outer side surface of the material guiding part 108 contacts the discharge port 105 to prevent the sauce from overflowing through the gap between the material guiding part 108 and the discharge port 105. The materials in the reaction tank can be stirred by the stirring mechanism 103 installed on the tank cover 106, further enhancing the fermentation effect and fermentation efficiency of the materials. A threaded groove is provided at the bottom end of the material guiding part 108. When the stirring mechanism 103 stirs the materials in the fermentation tank 101, a cover is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the material guiding part 108 through the threaded groove. When the materials in the fermentation tank 101 are completely fermented, the cover threadedly connected to the bottom end of the material guiding part 108 is removed. The materials can be discharged from the fermentation tank 101 through the through holes provided on the material guiding part slidably and sealingly installed in the discharge port 105. By providing the material guiding part slidably and sealingly installed in the discharge port 105, it can be avoided that the sauce remains at the discharge port 105 during discharge, which is not convenient for cleaning. After most of the materials are discharged from the discharge port 105, the telescopic device drives the tank cover 106 to move vertically upward, and the scraper 107 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the stirring mechanism 103 moves upward together with the tank cover 106. During the movement of the scraper 107, the sauce on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 101 is scraped off. The materials scraped off by the scraper 107 are discharged from the fermentation tank 101 through the discharge port 105 under the guidance of the scraper 107 and the material guiding part 108. Since the diameter of the through holes provided on the material guiding part 108 is smaller than the diameter of the discharge port 105, the residual sauce guided by the material guiding part will not pollute the discharge port 105 during the process of discharging through the discharge port 105. By providing the cleaning mechanism, it is possible to clean the sauce remaining in the fermentation tank 101 and on the stirring mechanism 103 while avoiding waste of the materials. A small part of the materials that have not been discharged through the discharge port 105 remains on the surface of the scraper 107. When the scraper 107 moves above the reaction tank, it is convenient for the operator to rinse the residual materials on the scraper 107 and the stirring mechanism 103, avoiding the pollution of the materials entering the fermentation tank 101 for the next fermentation caused by the deterioration of the materials remaining on the scraper 107 and the stirring mechanism 103.

[0038] Among them, the stirring mechanism 103 includes a stirring shaft 109, a driving motor, and stirring blades 110. The stirring shaft 109 is rotatably installed on the tank cover 106.

[0043] For further optimization, a first sealing part 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tank cover 106. The first sealing part 112 is used to seal the gap between the tank cover 106 and the fermentation tank 101. The first sealing part 112 is made of a heat-resistant rubber material. After the bottom end of the tank cover 106 contacts the top end of the fermentation tank 101, the first sealing part 112 fits against the inner wall of the fermentation tank 101 and seals the gap between the tank cover 106 and the fermentation tank 101.

[0044] Among them, a second sealing part 115 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the tank cover 106. The second sealing part 115 is used to seal the gap between the tank cover 106 and the jacket 113. The second sealing part 115 is made of a heat-resistant rubber material. After the bottom end of the tank cover 106 contacts the top end of the fermentation tank 101, the second sealing part 115 fits against the inner wall of the jacket 113 and seals the gap between the tank cover 106 and the fermentation tank 101.

[0045] For further optimization, support feet 116 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fermentation tank 101. The support feet 116 can support the fermentation tank 101 and at the same time facilitate the operator to take materials through the discharge port 105 provided at the bottom end of the fermentation tank 101.

[0046] Among them, a feeding hopper 104 is installed on the tank cover 106. By installing the feeding hopper 104 on the tank cover 106, the material can be guided, which is convenient for the operator to add the material into the reaction tank 101.
