Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fermenter cleaning, and particularly relates to an internal cleaning component of a liquor fermenter. Background Art

[0002] In the process of liquor production, as a key equipment, the cleanliness inside the fermenter directly affects the efficiency of the fermentation process and the quality of the final product. The internal structure of the fermenter is complex with many dead corners. Traditional cleaning methods often have difficulty in completely removing fermentation residues such as distiller's grains and yeast residues. These residues not only affect the fermentation effect but may also cause microbial contamination, thus affecting the flavor and safety of the product.

[0003] Existing fermenter cleaning methods mainly include manual cleaning, high-pressure water gun cleaning, chemical cleaning, etc. Although manual cleaning can clean specific parts, it is inefficient, labor-intensive, and difficult to reach all corners of the inner wall of the fermenter. High-pressure water gun cleaning can improve the cleaning efficiency, but it has a large impact on the inner wall of the fermenter, is easy to cause equipment damage, and the cleaning effect is still limited. Chemical cleaning can effectively remove fermentation residues, but it requires the use of specific chemical reagents, and the residues of these chemicals may pose hazards to the environment and human health.

[0004] In response to the above problems, some patented technologies for internal cleaning components of fermenters have emerged in the market. For example, by installing rotating brush heads or nozzles, using mechanical force and the impact force of water flow to clean the inner wall of the fermenter. However, these technologies still have some deficiencies. For example, the structural design of the rotating brush head may not fully conform to the shape of the inner wall of the fermenter, resulting in cleaning blind spots, and the spraying angle and pressure distribution of the nozzle are uneven, making the cleaning effect unsatisfactory.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new internal cleaning component for a liquor fermenter. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an internal cleaning component for a liquor fermenter, which can make more sufficient contact with the inner wall of the fermenter and clean more thoroughly, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and quality, and ensuring the stability of the fermentation process and the quality of the final product.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is specifically as follows:

[0008] An internal cleaning component for a liquor fermenter includes a hydraulic cylinder. A fixed shell is fixed to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder. A fixed column is fixed to the bottom of the fixed shell. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed column and at the bottom of the fixed shell, and the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the fixed shell. A plurality of cleaning plates are assembled on the outside of the rotating plate.

[0009] A driving mechanism is also installed inside the fixed housing, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating plate to rotate.

[0010] The driving mechanism includes a motor fixed inside the fixed housing. A meshing gear is fixed to the output end of the motor. An annular gear is fixed to the top of the rotating plate and inside the fixed housing, and the meshing gear is meshed with the inner wall of the annular gear.

[0011] An installation groove is provided on the inner side of the rotating plate and outside each cleaning plate. The cleaning plate is slidably connected inside the installation groove. A first spring is also installed in the installation groove, and the first spring is connected to the cleaning plate.

[0012] A plurality of fixing blocks are fixed to the outside of the fixed housing. An annular strip is fixed to the inside of the fixing block, and the annular strip surrounds the fixed housing. A plurality of sliding blocks are slidably connected to the outside of the annular strip. A water spray head is fixed to the end of the sliding block away from the fixed housing. A second spring is provided between the fixing block and the sliding block and outside the annular strip;

[0013] An abutting structure is installed between the rotating plate and the sliding block.

[0024] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be specifically described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text only describes one or several specific implementation manners of the present utility model, and does not strictly limit the specific protection scope claimed by the present utility model.

[0025] Embodiment 1:

[0026] As Figures 1-5 shown, an internal cleaning assembly of a white liquor fermentation tank includes a hydraulic cylinder 2. The bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is fixed with a fixed shell 3. The fixed shell 3 can be extended into the fermentation tank body 1 through the hydraulic cylinder 2 to clean the inside of the fermentation tank body 1. The bottom of the fixed shell 3 is fixed with a fixed column 4. A rotating plate 9 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed column 4 and at the bottom of the fixed shell 3. The diameter of the rotating plate 9 is actually smaller than the inner diameter of the fermentation tank body 1, which provides convenience for installing the following cleaning plate 8 and can achieve the effect of being in full contact with the inner side of the fermentation tank body 1. And the rotating plate 9 is rotatably connected to the fixed shell 3, and a plurality of cleaning plates 8 are assembled on the outside of the rotating plate 9;

[0027] A driving mechanism is further installed inside the fixed shell 3, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the rotating plate 9 to rotate.

[0028] Referring to the attached Figure 3 drawing, the driving mechanism includes a motor 5 fixed inside the fixed shell 3. The output end of the motor 5 is fixed with a meshing gear 6. The top of the rotating plate 9 and inside the fixed shell 3 is fixed with an annular gear 7, and the meshing gear 6 is meshed with the inner wall of the annular gear 7;

[0029] When cleaning the inner side of the fermentation tank body 1, the motor 5 can be driven, so that the output end of the motor 5 drives the meshing gear 6 to rotate, and through the meshing connection between the meshing gear 6 and the annular gear 7, the meshing gear 6 drives the annular gear 7 and the rotating plate 9 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 9 can brush the inside of the fermentation tank body 1 through the cleaning plate 8.

[0030] Referring to the attachedFigure 4 On the inner side of the rotating plate 9 and outside each cleaning plate 8, an installation groove 10 is provided. The cleaning plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner side of the installation groove 10. A first spring 11 is also installed in the installation groove 10, and the first spring 11 is connected to the cleaning plate 8. Through the arrangement of the first spring 11, after the fixed shell 3 moves into the fermentation tank body 1, the cleaning plate 8 can be pushed outward by the first spring 11, so that the cleaning plate 8 is closely attached to the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1 to clean the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1;

[0031] The lower part of the cleaning plate 8 can be an inclined section surface, so that the cleaning plate 8 can extend into the fermentation tank body 1. When extending in, the cleaning plate 8 retracts into the interior of the installation groove 10 through the section surface to avoid jamming. An electromagnet can also be arranged in the installation groove 10. At this time, the material of the cleaning plate 8 is iron, so that when the electromagnet is started, the cleaning plate 8 can be driven to contract into the installation groove 10. After the rotating plate 9 moves into the interior of 1, the electromagnet is then turned off, so that the cleaning plate 8 is in full contact with the interior of the fermentation tank body 1.

[0032] Embodiment 2:

[0033] On the basis of Embodiment 1, this embodiment makes a further technical improvement, and its technical effects are as follows:

[0034] Refer to the appendix Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of fixing blocks 13 are fixed on the outer side of the fixed shell 3. An annular strip 12 is fixed on the inner side of the fixing blocks 13, and the annular strip 12 surrounds the fixed shell 3. A plurality of sliding blocks 14 are slidably connected to the outer side of the annular strip 12. A water spray head 15 is fixed at one end of the sliding block 14 away from the fixed shell 3. A second spring 16 is arranged between the fixing block 13 and the sliding block 14 and on the outer side of the annular strip 12;

[0035] An abutting structure is installed between the rotating plate 9 and the sliding block 14.

[0036] The abutting structure includes an abutting block 17 fixed on the inner side of the sliding block 14. A plurality of installation blocks 18 are fixed at the top of the rotating plate 9 and at positions corresponding to the abutting block 17. Inclined surfaces are arranged on both sides of the abutting block 17;

[0037] When cleaning the interior of the fermentation tank body 1, the rotating plate 9 can be driven to drive the mounting block 18 to rotate. When the mounting block 18 rotates, the abutting block 17 can be squeezed, thereby driving the abutting block 17 to move along with the mounting block 18 until it moves to the elastic limit of the second spring 16. At this time, the abutting block 17 disengages from the abutment with the mounting block 18 through the inclined surface and is reset by the second spring 16. Through this setting, the sliding block 14 and the water spray head 15 can move a certain distance along with the rotating plate 9, so that the effect of flushing the interior of the fermentation tank body 1 is better. There is a notch in the fixed position between the fixing block 13 and the fixed shell 3, and this notch can just pass through a mounting block 18 to avoid restricting the mounting block 18. The abutting block 17 is made of flexible material. Through this setting, when the abutting block 17 reaches the elastic limit of the second spring 16, it can reduce the state of being stuck with the mounting block 18 through its own inclined surface, and can deform through this flexible material to further reduce the stuck state.

[0038] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention, unless otherwise specified and limited, are implemented according to the conventional means in the art.
