Due to differences in geographical environment, raw materials, and processes, many different regions and flavors of vinegar have emerged. Traditional vinegar fermentation is complex, requiring multiple steps such as brewing, solid-state fermentation, and acetic acidification. The fermentation process is susceptible to various factors that can lead to failure.
[0003] Fermentation is a crucial step in vinegar production. To ensure fermentation quality, the materials in the fermentation tank need to be manually stirred and aerated at regular intervals to allow the biochemical reactions to proceed smoothly. However, manual stirring is labor-intensive and requires manual, timed stirring of each tank, reducing efficiency and compromising quality. Therefore, a high-efficiency stirring device for vinegar fermentation with high stirring efficiency and better stirring effect is needed. Utility Model Content

A first drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor. A worm wheel is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank. The worm gear and the worm wheel are meshed and connected for transmission. The worm wheel is rotatably connected to the top of the base. An installation plate is provided above the fermentation tank. The two sides of the installation plate are fixedly connected to the top of the base through support plates. A second drive motor is fixedly connected to the installation plate. A disc is fixedly connected to the output end of the second drive motor. A connecting rod is installed at an eccentric position on the disc. A U-shaped flipping rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. Several symmetrically arranged stirring blades are fixedly connected to the U-shaped flipping rod.
[0006] Furthermore, a scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate. The scraper is vertically positioned and extends into the fermentation tank, with one side of the scraper contacting and abutting against the inner wall of the fermentation tank.
[0007] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank, a discharge valve is installed on the discharge pipe, and a receiving hopper is provided on the base.
[0008] This utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0009] 1. This utility model uses a first drive motor and a worm gear to drive the fermentation tank to rotate, which works in conjunction with the U-shaped turning rod in the fermentation tank to rotate and stir the material in the fermentation tank. At the same time, the second drive motor drives the disc to drive the U-shaped turning rod to move up, left, down and right in a reciprocating motion, which also turns the material in the fermentation tank up and down at the same time, so that the stirring effect of the fermentation material is better and the stirring efficiency is higher than that of manual stirring.
[0010] 2. This utility model adds two scrapers to the mounting plate to scrape the material on the inner wall of the fermentation tank, preventing the material on the inner wall from not being turned over and affecting the fermentation effect. It can also increase the resistance of the material inside the fermentation tank when it rotates, further enhancing the stirring effect of this utility model. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] like Figures 1 to 3The high-efficiency stirring device for vinegar fermentation shown includes a base 1 and a fermentation tank 2. The fermentation tank 2 is a circular tank with an open top. A first drive motor 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 1. A worm gear 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 3. The other end of the worm gear 4 is rotatably connected to the base 1 through a bearing. A worm wheel 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 2. The worm gear 4 and the worm wheel 5 are meshed and connected for transmission. The worm wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 1 through a bearing. A horizontally arranged mounting plate 6 is provided above the fermentation tank 2. A gap is left between the top of the fermentation tank 2 and the bottom of the mounting plate 6. The two sides of the mounting plate 6 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 through support plates 7. A second drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 6. The first drive motor 3 and the second drive motor 8 each have their own independent... A power switch is installed on the disk 9. The output end of the second drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the center of the disk 9. A connecting rod 10 is installed at the eccentric position of the disk 9. The connecting rod 10 is perpendicular to the outer side of the disk 9. A U-shaped flipping rod 11 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 10 through a bearing. The connection position between the connecting rod 10 and the U-shaped flipping rod 11 is exactly at the middle position of the horizontal rod length of the U-shaped flipping rod 11. Ten symmetrically arranged stirring blades 12 are fixedly connected to the two vertical rods of the U-shaped flipping rod 11. In this embodiment, the stirring blades 12 are preferably elliptical spherical. The ten stirring blades 12 are divided into two groups of five. Five stirring blades 12 are equidistantly installed on each vertical rod of the U-shaped flipping rod 11. The positions of the two groups of stirring blades 12 are symmetrically arranged.
