[0026] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 This application is described in further detail.

[0027] The embodiment of the present application provides a fruit fermentation device that is easy to transport, including a fermentation barrel 10 for storing and fermenting fruits, and a carrying tray 30 for fixing the fermentation barrel 10. The bottom of the carrying tray 30 is provided with a through slot for forklift insertion;

[0028] A support base 20 for supporting the fermentation vat 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation vat 10. The support base 20 includes an annular support ring 21 at the bottom and a plurality of support columns 22 in an annular array fixed to the top of the support ring 21. The tops of the support columns 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation vat 10, and the bottom of the fermentation vat 10 does not contact the top of the support ring 21.

[0029] The carrier tray 30 is provided with a plurality of semi-open placement slots 31 for securing the support base 20. The placement slots 31 are arranged in a rectangular array on the top of the carrier tray 30. The placement slots 31 have openings on the side of the carrier tray 30 for the support base 20 to enter. A locking mechanism 40 for locking the position of the support base 20 is provided on the side of the placement slot 31 away from the opening. The locking mechanism 40 includes a locking hook 41 that can slide up and down within the placement slot 31.

[0030] A control rod 50 for controlling the up and down movement of the locking mechanism 40 is installed at the bottom of the carrying tray 30. The control rod 50 is movably connected to the carrying tray 30 and the locking hook 41. When the support seat 20 at the bottom of the fermentation barrel 10 enters the placement groove 31, the locking hook 41 moves downward to clamp the support ring 21 and lock the position relationship between the fermentation barrel 10 and the carrying tray 30. When the control rod 50 controls the locking hook 41 to move upward, the position relationship between the support ring 21 and the carrying tray 30 is unlocked.

[0031] The following is a further introduction based on specific usage scenarios.

[0032] During use, the operator installs several fermentation barrels 10 that need to be transported on the carrying tray 30, first aligns the support ring 21 at the bottom of the fermentation barrel 10 with the opening of the placement groove 31 on the side of the carrying tray 30 and pushes the fermentation barrel 10 inward, then the operator operates the control rod 50 to control the locking hook 41 to move upward, and the operator continues to push the fermentation barrel 10 into the placement groove 31 until the support ring 21 at the bottom of the fermentation barrel 10 contacts the inner wall of the placement groove 31 away from the side opening, and the operator then operates the control rod 50 to control the locking hook 41 to move downward, and the inner side of the locking hook 41 contacts the inner wall of the support ring 21 to lock the support ring 21. When the fermentation barrel 10 has a tendency to move toward the opening, the inner side of the locking hook 41 is in close contact with the inner wall of the support ring 21 to prevent the support ring 21 from moving.

[0033] According to the above method, the operator installs several fermentation barrels 10 in several placement slots 31 on the carrying pallet 30 respectively. After the placement is completed, the operator can use a forklift to transport the several fermentation barrels 10 as a whole. During the transportation process, the several fermentation barrels 10 and the carrying pallet 30 remain relatively stable and will not collide, which significantly improves the efficiency and safety of transportation.

[0034] In general, the embodiment of the present application simplifies the process of operators transporting the fermentation barrels 10 by installing several fermentation barrels 10 on a carrying tray 30, so that several fermentation barrels 10 can be transported centrally each time, which significantly improves the efficiency of transportation. In addition, during the transportation process, there will be no collision between the several fermentation barrels 10, which significantly improves the safety during transportation.

[0035] As a feasible specific implementation of the embodiment of the present application, a movable groove 32 for the up and down movement of the locking mechanism 40 is provided at one end of the placement groove 31 away from the opening, and a limiting sliding groove 33 with a rectangular cross-section is provided on both side walls of the movable groove 32;

[0036] The locking mechanism 40 further includes a push rod 42 fixed to the locking hook 41. The push rod 42 is movably connected to the movable groove 32. A rectangular cross-sectional limiting slider 43 is fixed to both sides of the push rod 42. The limiting slider 43 on the push rod 42 extends into the limiting groove 33. A compression spring 47 is provided between the top of the push rod 42 and the top of the inner cavity of the movable groove 32.

[0037] The middle part of the control rod 50 is hinged to the bottom of the carrying tray 30 , and the two ends of the control rod 50 are respectively located at the bottom of the top rod 42 and the bottom of the side opening of the placement slot 31 . The top of one end of the control rod 50 close to the top rod 42 contacts the top rod 42 .

[0038] In combination with a specific usage scenario, the operator can step on the control rod 50 near the end of the opening of the placement groove 31 to cause the end of the control rod 50 near the top rod 42 to rise. The raised control rod 50 pushes the top rod 42, causing the locking mechanism 40 to move up, and the locking hook 41 and the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the placement groove 31 form a gap for the support ring 21 to pass through. At this time, the operator can place or remove the fermentation barrel 10. After the fermentation barrel 10 is placed or removed, the operator removes the stress on the control rod 50. Under the action of the elastic force of the compression spring 47, the top rod 42 moves downward, so that the locking hook 41 contacts the bottom of the inner cavity of the placement groove 31 again, thereby locking the support ring 21 at the bottom of the fermentation barrel 10.

[0039] The cooperation between the limiting sliding groove 33 and the limiting sliding block 43 can limit the movement trajectory of the push rod 42 and the locking hook 41, so that they move in the movable groove 32 along the path of up and down movement.

[0040] In a possible implementation of the embodiment of the present application, a pressure plate 44 is provided on the top of the push rod 42, and the length and width of the pressure plate 44 are greater than the length and width of the push rod 42, so that the elastic force of the compression spring 47 can be applied to the push rod 42 more evenly.

[0041] As a feasible specific implementation method of the embodiment of the present application, the locking hook 41 has an inclined surface 45 on the side close to the side opening of the placement groove 31. The angle between the inclined surface 45 and the bottom plane of the inner cavity of the placement groove 31 is an acute angle, and the opening direction of the angle is toward the side opening of the placement groove 31. In this way, when the operator pushes the fermentation barrel 10, the support ring 21 pushes the inclined surface 45 of the locking hook 41, which can move the locking hook 41 upward until one side of the support ring 21 passes through the locking hook 41. There is no need for the operator to manually operate the control lever 50, which simplifies the installation steps and improves the overall transportation efficiency.

[0042] Furthermore, the side of the locking hook 41 away from the inclined surface 45 is an arc-shaped surface 46, and the curvature of the arc-shaped surface 46 is consistent with the curvature of the inner side of the support ring 21. When the support ring 21 is locked by the locking hook 41, the inner side of the locking hook 41 contacts the inner side surface of the support ring 21, thereby improving the locking effect and improving the safety of the device during transportation.

[0043] As a feasible specific implementation method of the embodiment of the present application, the outer diameter of the virtual circle where the support columns 22 of the several annular arrays are located is smaller than the outer diameter of the support ring 21, and a limiting groove 34 for placing the support ring 21 is provided at the bottom of the placement groove 31. The inner diameter of the limiting groove 34 is larger than the inner diameter of the placement groove 31. In this way, when the fermentation barrel 10 is in a locked state, the top of the support ring 21 is restricted by the top of the inner cavity of the placement groove 31, thereby preventing the fermentation barrel 10 from overturning during transportation, thereby significantly improving the safety of the device during transportation.

[0044] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
