[0039] It should be noted that the fermentation tank liquid level metering device described in the present invention is used for but not limited to the field of soy sauce fermentation technology. For the sake of convenience, in the present invention, only the application of the fermentation tank liquid level metering device in the field of soy sauce fermentation technology is used as an example for explanation. The principle of applying the fermentation tank liquid level metering device to other types of equipment is essentially the same as the principle of applying it to the field of soy sauce fermentation technology, and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a fermentation tank liquid level metering device in one embodiment of the present invention. The fermentation tank liquid level metering device includes a tank body 1, a liquid level tube 2 and a cleaning assembly 3. The liquid level tube 2 is arranged along the axis of the tank body 1 and is connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1, and both ends of the liquid level tube 2 are respectively connected to the interior of the tank body 1. The cleaning assembly 3 includes a float 31 and at least one cleaning component 32. The float 31 is movably built into the liquid level tube 2, and the interior of the float 31 is hollow. The cleaning component 32 is detachably connected to the float 31 and can abut against the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2.

[0041] In this device, a liquid level tube 2 is provided on one side of the tank body 1, and the liquid level tube 2 can be connected with the interior of the tank body 1. At least one cleaning component 32 is built into the liquid level tube 2 through a float 31. The cleaning component 32 can move relative to the liquid level tube 2 along with the float 31 as the liquid level in the liquid level tube 2 changes, and the cleaning component 32 can abut against the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2 for cleaning the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, a cleaning member 32 capable of abutting against the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2 is provided in the liquid level tube 2, and the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2 can be cleaned by sliding the cleaning member 32 relative to the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2. At the same time, the cleaning member 32 can move relative to the liquid level tube 2 along with the float 31 as the liquid level in the liquid level tube 2 changes, so that when the liquid level in the liquid level tube 2 changes, the cleaning member 32 is driven to clean the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2, which can effectively prevent sediment from adhering to the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2, and can prevent the judgment of the liquid level in the tank body 1 from being affected by the sediment. It can solve the technical problem in the prior art that the transparent liquid level tube 2 will be attached with sediment after long-term use and cannot be cleaned through the inclined feed main pipe and water inlet pipe, thereby making it impossible to accurately judge the liquid level.

[0043] Furthermore, the tank body 1 in this device is a clamping insulation tank, and the top of the tank body 1 is provided with a feed port, a manhole and a stirring motor, and the liquid level pipe 2 is a transparent pipe. Here, the tank body 1 and the liquid level pipe 2 are both common and easy-to-purchase equipment on the market, which is a conventional setting known to technicians in this field.

[0044] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the float 31 is cylindrical and has at least one connecting section and a hollow end. The cleaning piece 32 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the connecting section of the float 31 and is detachably connected through the connecting section of the float 31. The hollow section of the float 31 can generate buoyancy to push the float 31 and the cleaning piece 32 to float on the liquid level.

[0045] The float 31 is provided with a hollow structure. When the float 31 contacts the liquid in the tank 1 , the hollow section of the float 31 can generate buoyancy to push the float 31 and the cleaning member 32 to float on the liquid level.

[0046] Furthermore, the buoyancy generated by the hollow section of the float 31 can enable the float 31 and the cleaning member 32 to move relative to the liquid level tank as the liquid level in the tank body 1 changes, so that when the liquid level in the tank body 1 changes, the cleaning member 32 can automatically clean the inner wall of the tank body 1, which can effectively prevent sediment from adhering.

[0047] Furthermore, the float 31 is made of a lightweight material that is common and easy to purchase on the market. This is a conventional setting well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

[0048] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning member 32 includes a connecting rod 321 and a plurality of bristles 322 . The connecting rod 321 is connected to the connecting section of the float 31 . The plurality of bristles 322 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the connecting rod 321 and are all connected to the connecting rod 321 .

[0049] The connecting rod 321 is used to connect the plurality of bristles 322 and the float 31 .

[0050] Furthermore, multiple bristles 322 are evenly arranged along the circumferential outer wall of the connecting rod 321 and extend along the axial direction away from the connecting rod 321, forming a brush structure that is common and easy to purchase on the market. This is a conventional setting known to technicians in this field and will not be elaborated on.

[0051] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a threaded hole is formed in the connection section of the float 31 , an external thread is formed on the circumferential outer wall of one end of the connection rod 321 , and one end of the connection rod 321 is detachably connected to the connection section of the float 31 through the threaded hole.

[0052] The connecting rod 321 and the connecting section of the floating body 31 are connected by threads to form a detachable structure.

[0053] Furthermore, an elastic locking structure connecting rod 321 may be provided to be locked in a hole on the connecting section of the float 31 , which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, there are two cleaning parts 32 in the cleaning assembly 3, and there are also two connecting sections in the float 31. The connecting sections of the two floats 31 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the hollow section of the float 31, and the two connecting rods 321 are respectively threadedly connected to the connecting sections of the float 31.

[0055] There are two cleaning members 32 , which are respectively disposed at both ends of the float 31 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0056] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning assembly 3 also includes at least one iron ball 33 and a permanent magnet block 34. The iron ball 33 is built into the hollow section of the float 31. The permanent magnet block 34 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the liquid level tube 2 and can slide along the length direction of the liquid level tube 2. The permanent magnet block 34 can drive the iron ball 33, the float 31 and the cleaning piece 32 to slide relative to the inner wall of the liquid level tube 2.

[0057] The magnetic attraction force generated by the permanent magnet 34 can drive the hollow section of the float 31 to slide relative to the liquid level tube 2 , and simultaneously drive the float 31 and the two cleaning members 32 to slide relative to the liquid level tube 2 .

[0058] Furthermore, the user can manually drive the permanent magnet block 34 to move along the surface of the liquid level tube 2, which can drive the float 31 and the two cleaning parts 32 to slide relative to the liquid level tube 2 to a designated area or a designated line, thereby achieving fixed-point cleaning and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0059] Furthermore, the permanent magnet block 34 and the iron ball 33 here are both common and easily purchased devices on the market, and belong to conventional settings well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a slide groove is provided on the outer wall of the liquid level tube 2 along its length direction, and the permanent magnet block 34 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove and can slide along the guide of the slide groove.

[0061] The chute is used to guide the permanent magnet block 34 to slide evenly along the length direction of the liquid level tube 2, which can improve the cleaning effect.

[0062] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the tank body 1 is provided with a receiving groove, and the permanent magnet block 34 can be slidably inserted into the receiving groove.

[0063] The receiving groove is used to place the permanent magnet block 34 to prevent the permanent magnet block 34 from being placed on the side wall of the liquid level tube 2 to affect the normal sliding of the float 31 and the brush in the liquid level tube 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the device further includes two connecting pipes 4 and two first valve bodies 5 , a liquid outlet pipe 6 and a second valve body 7 .

[0065] Among them, two connecting pipes 4 are respectively arranged at both ends of the liquid level pipe 2, and one end of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the liquid level pipe 2, and the other end is connected to the interior of the tank body 1. The first valve body 5 and the connecting pipe 4 are arranged one by one, and the first valve body 5 is connected to the connecting pipe 4.

[0066] The two connecting pipes 4 and the first valve body 5 cooperate to realize the communication between the liquid level pipe 2 and the interior of the tank body 1 , forming the principle of a communicating vessel, which can accurately reflect and reflect the changes in the liquid level in the tank body 1 .

[0067] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The liquid outlet pipe 6 is arranged near the bottom end of the tank body 1 and is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 6 , and the second valve body 7 is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 6 .

[0068] The liquid outlet pipe 6 and the second valve body 7 cooperate to discharge the liquid in the liquid level pipe 2, making it easier to clean the liquid level pipe 2.

[0069] Furthermore, the first valve body 5 and the second valve body 7 here are two-way valves that are common and easy to purchase on the market. They belong to conventional settings well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

[0070] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figures 1 to 2 The technical solution of the utility model is described in detail:

[0071] A liquid level tube 2 is provided on one side of the tank body 1, and the liquid level tube 2 can be connected with the interior of the tank body 1. At least one cleaning component 32 is built into the liquid level tube 2 through a float 31. The cleaning component 32 can move relative to the liquid level tube 2 along with the float 31 as the liquid level in the liquid level tube 2 changes, and the cleaning component 32 can abut against the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2 for cleaning the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2. Compared with the prior art, a cleaning member 32 capable of abutting against the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2 is provided in the liquid level tube 2, and the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2 can be cleaned by sliding the cleaning member 32 relative to the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2. At the same time, the cleaning member 32 can move relative to the liquid level tube 2 along with the float 31 as the liquid level in the liquid level tube 2 changes, so that when the liquid level in the liquid level tube 2 changes, the cleaning member 32 is driven to clean the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2, which can effectively prevent sediment from adhering to the circumferential inner wall of the liquid level tube 2, and can prevent the judgment of the liquid level in the tank body 1 from being affected by the sediment.

[0072] The specific working process of the present invention is that when in use, the user first opens the two first valve bodies 5 and closes the second valve body 7, and the interior of the tank body 1 is connected to the interior of the liquid level tube 2. During the fermentation process, the interior of the tank body 1 and the interior of the liquid level tube 2 form a communicating structure, and then the change of the liquid level in the liquid level tube 2 will drive the float 31 and the brush to rise and fall relative to the inner wall of the liquid level tube 2. Then, when cleaning is needed, close the second valve body 7, and move the permanent magnet block 34 close to the float 31. The iron ball 33 in the float 31 is attracted by the magnetic force generated by the permanent magnet block 34, and the permanent magnet block 34 slides along the guide of the slide groove, which can drive the float 31 and the brush to slide relative to the inner wall of the liquid level tube 2. Finally, after cleaning is completed, open the second valve body 7, and the liquid in the liquid level tube 2 is discharged from the liquid outlet pipe 6, which is easy to operate.

[0073] The above structure of the present application can solve the technical problem in the prior art that after long-term use, the transparent liquid level tube 2 will be attached with sediment and cannot be cleaned through the inclined feed main pipe and water inlet pipe, thereby making it impossible to accurately judge the liquid level.

[0074] The specific embodiments of the present invention described above do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
