Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of liquor fermentation, and specifically relates to a multi-chamber fermentation tank for liquor fermentation. Background Art

[0002] As a traditional drink, the brewing process of liquor has a long history. In the brewing process of liquor, fermentation is the key link to determine the quality and flavor of liquor. During the fermentation process, the production of yellow water is inevitable. Yellow water is a liquid rich in various organic components, such as organic acids, alcohols, esters, etc.

[0003] Traditional liquor fermentation tanks are often simple in design and lack an effective treatment mechanism for yellow water. Usually, yellow water either accumulates in the fermentation tank, interfering with the normal fermentation process, or relies on manual regular cleaning and discharge, which is not only inefficient, but also difficult to ensure timeliness and accuracy.

[0004] There are many disadvantages in manually cleaning yellow water. First, manual operation increases labor costs and work intensity, especially in large-scale liquor production. Second, because the time interval of manual cleaning is difficult to accurately control, yellow water may stay in the fermentation tank for too long, causing an imbalance in the pH of the fermentation environment, affecting the growth and metabolism of microorganisms, and thus adversely affecting the quality of liquor.

[0005] In addition, the traditional yellow water discharge method (such as extraction by water pump) does not increase financial investment, and if the water pump inlet or seal is not tight, it may allow foreign impurities to easily enter the fermentation system during use. These impurities may carry harmful microorganisms or other pollutants, destroy the balance of microbial communities in the fermentation tank, cause fermentation abnormalities, cause deviations in the taste and aroma of the wine, and reduce the quality stability of the product.

[0006] To this end, we proposed a multi-chamber fermentation tank for liquor fermentation. The device realizes the automatic collection and discharge of yellow water, reduces the need for manual intervention, reduces costs, and improves the degree of production automation. At the same time, timely discharge of yellow water helps to maintain the stability of the fermentation environment and reduce the negative impact of yellow water on the fermentation process. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-chamber fermentation tank for liquor fermentation. The device realizes automatic collection and discharge of yellow water, reduces the need for manual intervention, reduces costs, and improves the degree of production automation. At the same time, timely discharge of yellow water helps to maintain the stability of the fermentation environment and reduce the negative impact of yellow water on the fermentation process.

[0008] The technical solutions adopted in this utility are as follows:

[0009] A multi-chamber fermentation tank for liquor fermentation, comprising a base layer, on which a plurality of fermentation chambers for liquor fermentation and a plurality of yellow water collection chambers are provided. Inside each fermentation chamber, a filter bearing plate and a collection housing are fixedly arranged, and a yellow water automatic discharge assembly is arranged at the bottom of each collection housing;

[0010] The yellow water automatic discharge assembly includes a first connecting pipe communicated with the collection housing. A first conical housing is arranged at the bottom of the first connecting pipe. A second connecting pipe is arranged at the bottom of the first conical housing. A second conical housing is arranged at the bottom of the second connecting pipe. A discharge pipe is arranged at the bottom of the second conical housing, and the water outlet of the discharge pipe is located inside the yellow water collection chamber;

[0011] The first conical housing is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and a first conical block matching it is arranged inside the first conical housing. The second conical housing is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and a second conical block matching it is arranged inside the second conical housing. A connecting plate is arranged inside the second connecting pipe. A through hole is opened on the connecting plate, and a movable rod connected to the first conical block and the second conical block is movably arranged inside the through hole. A first spring and a second spring are sleeved on the movable rod. The first spring is located between the first conical block and the connecting plate, and the second spring is located between the second conical block and the connecting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a heat preservation layer is arranged inside the fermentation chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, the length and width of the filtering surface of the filter bearing plate are the same as the length and width of the cavity inside the collection housing.

[0014] Furthermore, sealing layers are arranged on the outer sides of the first conical block and the second conical block.

[0015] Furthermore, an anti-corrosion layer is arranged on the outer side of the movable rod.

[0016] Furthermore, a sealing cover is arranged on the fermentation chamber.

[0017] The technical effects obtained by this utility model are:

[0018] First, the material is placed inside the fermentation chamber for fermentation. At this time, the yellow water produced by fermentation passes through the filter plate and falls inside the collection housing, and then enters the first connecting pipe. When the yellow water inside the first connecting pipe exceeds the elastic limit of the spring, the first conical block drives the sliding rod to move on the connecting plate, and at the same time, the second conical block moves. At this time, the first spring is in a compressed state, and the second spring is in a stretched state. At the same time, a flow gap is generated between the first conical block and the first conical housing, and at the same time, the second conical block seals the second conical housing. At this time, the yellow water enters the second connecting pipe for collection. This setting can prevent foreign impurities from entering, thereby improving the quality of fermentation. When the yellow water inside the first connecting pipe enters the second connecting pipe, the weight disappears, and the first spring and the second spring's elastic force cause the movable rod to drive the first conical block and the second conical block to return to their original positions. At this time, the state is that the first conical block seals the first conical housing, and a flow gap is generated between the second conical block and the second conical housing, so that the yellow water inside the second connecting pipe enters the yellow water collection chamber through the discharge pipe. This device realizes the automatic collection and discharge of yellow water, reduces the need for manual intervention, improves the degree of production automation, and at the same time, timely discharging the yellow water helps to maintain the stability of the fermentation environment and reduce the negative impact of yellow water on the fermentation process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0026] To make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following specifically describes this utility model in combination with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text only describes one or several specific implementation manners of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed for this utility model.

[0027] As Figures 1-5 shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is specifically as follows: A multi-chamber fermentation tank for liquor fermentation includes a base layer 1, on which a plurality of fermentation chambers 2 for liquor fermentation and a plurality of yellow water collection chambers 3 are provided. Inside each fermentation chamber 2, a filter bearing plate 4 and a collection housing 5 are fixedly provided, and a yellow water automatic discharge assembly is provided at the bottom of each collection housing 5;

[0028] The yellow water automatic discharge assembly includes a first connecting pipe 6 communicated with the collection housing 5. At the bottom of the first connecting pipe 6, a first conical housing 7 is provided. At the bottom of the first conical housing 7, a second connecting pipe 8 is provided. At the bottom of the second connecting pipe 8, a second conical housing 9 is provided. At the bottom of the second conical housing 9, a discharge pipe 10 is provided, and the water outlet of the discharge pipe 10 is located inside the yellow water collection chamber 3;

[0029] The first conical housing 7 is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and a first conical block 11 matching it is provided inside the first conical housing 7. The second conical housing 9 is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and a second conical block 12 matching it is provided inside the second conical housing 9. A connecting plate 13 is provided inside the second connecting pipe 8. A through hole is opened on the connecting plate 13, and a movable rod 14 connected to the first conical block 11 and the second conical block 12 is movably provided inside the through hole. A first spring 15 and a second spring 16 are sleeved on the movable rod 14. The first spring 15 is located between the first conical block 11 and the connecting plate 13, and the second spring 16 is located between the second conical block 12 and the connecting plate 13.

[0030] Its working principle is as follows: First, the material is placed inside the fermentation chamber 2 for fermentation. At this time, the yellow water generated by fermentation passes through the filter plate and falls into the collection housing 5, and then enters the first connecting pipe 6. When the yellow water inside the first connecting pipe 6 exceeds the elastic limit of the spring, the first tapered block 11 drives the sliding rod to move on the connecting plate 13, and at the same time, the second tapered block 12 moves. At this time, the first spring 15 is in a compressed state, and the second spring 16 is in a stretched state. At the same time, a flow gap is generated between the first tapered block 11 and the first tapered housing 7, and at the same time, the second tapered block 12 seals the second tapered housing 9. At this time, the yellow water enters the second connecting pipe 8 for collection. This setting prevents foreign impurities from entering, thereby improving the quality of fermentation. When the yellow water inside the first connecting pipe 6 enters the second connecting pipe 8, the weight disappears, and the elastic force of the first spring 15 and the second spring 16 causes the movable rod 14 to drive the first tapered block 11 and the second tapered block 12 to return to their original positions. At this time, the state is that the first tapered block 11 seals the first tapered housing 7, and a flow gap is generated between the second tapered block 12 and the second tapered housing 9, so that the yellow water inside the second connecting pipe 8 enters the yellow water collection chamber 3 through the discharge pipe 10. This device realizes the automatic collection and discharge of yellow water, reduces the need for manual intervention, improves the degree of production automation, and at the same time, timely discharging of yellow water helps to maintain the stability of the fermentation environment and reduce the negative impact of yellow water on the fermentation process.

[0031] Among them, the base layer 1 is the ground for brewing liquor in real life. Opening a fermentation chamber 2 on the ground can improve its sealing performance and at the same time improve the quality of liquor.

[0032] At the same time, a heat preservation layer is provided inside the fermentation chamber 2. Through the heat preservation layer, the temperature can be kept warm, thereby preventing the quality of liquor from being affected by too high or too low temperature.

[0033] The length and width of the filtering surface of the filtering bearing plate 4 are the same as the length and width of the cavity inside the collection housing 5. This setting can make the yellow water drip into the cavity of the collection housing 5 without the risk of leakage, preventing pollution to the fermentation chamber 2.

[0034] Sealing layers are provided on the outer sides of the first tapered block 11 and the second tapered block 12. The material of the sealing layer is rubber, and the sealing performance can be guaranteed through the sealing layer.

[0035] The first tapered block 11 and the second tapered block 12 are threadedly connected to the movable rod 14. This setting can facilitate the installation, disassembly and cleaning of the first tapered block 11 and the second tapered block 12, facilitating people to clean and adapt to the fermentation of different types of liquor.

[0036] It should be noted that: The elastic coefficients of the first spring 15 and the second spring 16 are carefully calculated and can be obtained through Hooke's law:

[0037] F = kx

[0038] Where F is the elastic force generated by the spring, x is the elongation or compression of the spring, and k is the spring constant, i.e., the elastic force coefficient.

[0039] From this formula, we can solve for the spring constant k.

[0040] Knowing the elastic coefficient of the spring and then calculating the maximum load-bearing capacity of the first connecting pipe 6, the required type of spring can be obtained. This belongs to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0041] An anti-corrosion layer is provided on the outer side of the movable rod 14, and the material of the movable rod 14 can be plastic. The anti-corrosion layer can prevent the movable rod 14 from corroding and at the same time enable the movable rod 14 to have a very light weight, which is convenient for use.

[0042] A sealing cover (not marked in the figure) is provided on the fermentation chamber 2, and the fermentation chamber 2 can be sealed through the sealing cover.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the materials are placed inside the fermentation chamber 2 for fermentation. At this time, the yellow water generated by fermentation is filtered by the filter plate and falls into the collection housing 5 and then enters the first connecting pipe 6. When the yellow water inside the first connecting pipe 6 exceeds the elastic limit of the spring, the first conical block 11 drives the sliding rod to move on the connecting plate 13, and at the same time the second conical block 12 moves. At this time, the first spring 15 is in a compressed state, the second spring 16 is in a stretched state, and at the same time a flow gap is generated between the first conical block 11 and the first conical housing 7, and at the same time the second conical block 12 seals the second conical housing 9. At this time, the yellow water enters the second connecting pipe 8 for collection, preventing foreign impurities from entering, thereby improving the quality of fermentation. When the yellow water inside the first connecting pipe 6 enters the second connecting pipe 8, the weight disappears, and the elastic forces of the first spring 15 and the second spring 16 cause the movable rod 14 to drive the first conical block 11 and the second conical block 12 to return to their original positions. At this time, the state is that the first conical block 11 seals the first conical housing 7, and a flow gap is generated between the second conical block 12 and the second conical housing 9, so that the yellow water inside the second connecting pipe 8 enters the yellow water collection chamber 3 through the discharge pipe 10. This device realizes the automatic collection and discharge of yellow water, reduces the need for manual intervention, improves the degree of production automation, and at the same time timely discharging the yellow water helps to maintain the stability of the fermentation environment and reduce the negative impact of yellow water on the fermentation process.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and retouches can be made, and these improvements and retouches should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model. The structures, devices, and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present utility model are implemented by conventional means in the art without special instructions and limitations.
