Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fermentation equipment technology, and in particular to a fermentation disc conveyor and fermentation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the characteristics of the equipment and the manufacturing precision of the disc and conveyor, there are gaps to varying degrees between the conveyor scraper and the disc screen surface and the inner and outer circumferential vertical plates in the large-scale bio-fermentation disc internal feeding conveyor equipment. This results in some material not being scraped clean and remaining on the disc screen.

[0003] If this residual material is reused, it may have a certain impact on product quality; if it is not reused, the production loss will be large, which will increase the production cost and cause waste.

[0004] Current solutions mostly rely on manual cleaning, which is labor-intensive and has a poor working environment; especially for saccharification and fermentation of wines and vinegars, as well as biological fermentation that produces pungent odors. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a conveyor for a fermentation disc that can clean the residual material at the edge of the disc screen plate. A fermentation device is also proposed.

[0006] According to one aspect of this application, a conveyor for a fermentation disc includes: a fixed frame; an auger lifting frame movably disposed on the fixed frame; a lifting drive assembly disposed on the fixed frame and drively connected to the auger lifting frame, the lifting drive assembly being used to drive the auger lifting frame to move up and down relative to the fixed frame; a conveying auger disposed on the auger lifting frame; at least one nozzle assembly, each nozzle assembly including a nozzle, a connecting pipe, and a flexible hose, the nozzle and the connecting pipe being disposed on the auger lifting frame, at least one nozzle being sequentially disposed along the axial direction of the conveying auger and adjacent to the discharge end of the conveying auger, the connecting pipe connecting the nozzle and the flexible hose, the flexible hose being fixed to the fixed frame and having a allowance reserved for moving up and down with the auger lifting frame.

[0007] In some embodiments, the nozzle is an air jet nozzle or a water jet nozzle.

[0008] In some embodiments, the nozzle is flat.

[0009] In some embodiments, the nozzle assembly is provided in two sets, and the nozzles have a height difference in the lifting direction of the auger lifting frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, both the nozzle and the connecting pipe are fixed to the auger lifting frame by pipe clamps, and the pipe clamps are welded to the auger lifting frame.

[0011] In some embodiments, the connecting conduit includes a straight pipe and a bend connected to each other, the straight pipe being connected to the bend and the bend being connected to the nozzle, such that the spray direction of the nozzle is deflected toward a side away from the conveying auger.

[0012] In some embodiments, the bend is detachably connected to the straight pipe and the bend is detachably connected to the nozzle.

[0013] In some embodiments, the inlet of the straight pipe is provided with a pipe connector, which connects the flexible tube to the straight pipe; the nozzle is threadedly connected to the straight pipe.

[0014] In some embodiments, the auger lifting frame is vertically connected to the fixed frame via multiple guide shafts; the lifting drive assembly includes a screw jack and a drive motor that are drivenly connected to the auger lifting frame, and the output end of the screw jack is drivenly connected to the auger lifting frame.

[0015] According to another aspect of this application, a fermentation apparatus includes: a fermentation disc; a discharge port located on one side of the fermentation disc in a radial direction; a conveyor for the fermentation disc, wherein the conveying auger and the nozzle are located above the screen surface of the fermentation disc, the nozzle being close to the edge of the screen surface, and the nozzle being used to blow material from the edge of the screen surface toward the discharge port.

[0016] In this application, nozzles are installed on the auger lifting frame. These nozzles sweep material residue from the edge of the screen surface into the discharge port, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and achieving automatic cleaning. Furthermore, by having the conveyor circle the fermentation disc, the entire edge area of ​​the screen surface is cleaned. Moreover, the nozzle assembly is mounted on the auger lifting frame and moves with it, allowing it to enter the fermentation disc only during use. This avoids the need for cleaning structures inside the fermentation disc, thus preventing any modification to the disc and providing a simple and reliable solution for cleaning material residue.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this application provides a fermentation disc conveyor 100, which is used in conjunction with the fermentation disc 200 and the discharge port 300 to form part of the fermentation equipment 1.

[0026] refer to Figures 1 to 4 ,in Figure 1 This is a front view of a conveyor 100 according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the position of the conveying auger of a conveyor 100 according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 This is a top view of a conveyor 100 according to an embodiment of this application; Figure 4 This is a partial schematic diagram of the conveyor 100 in use according to an embodiment of this application.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a conveyor 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes a fixed frame 10, an auger lifting frame 20, a lifting drive assembly 30, a conveying auger 40, and at least one nozzle assembly 50. The auger lifting frame 20 is vertically and vertically mounted on the fixed frame 10. The lifting drive assembly 30 is mounted on the fixed frame 10 and is drively connected to the auger lifting frame 20, and is used to drive the auger lifting frame 20 to move up and down relative to the fixed frame 10. The conveying auger 40 is mounted on the auger lifting frame 20. Each nozzle assembly 50 includes a nozzle 510, a connecting pipe 520, and a flexible hose 530. Nozzle 510 and connecting pipe 520 are provided on auger lifting frame 20. At least one nozzle 510 is arranged sequentially along the axial direction of conveying auger 40 and adjacent to the discharge end 410 of conveying auger 40. Connecting pipe 520 connects nozzle 510 and hose 530. Hose 530 is fixed to fixed frame 10 and reserved for slack when it rises and falls with auger lifting frame 20.

[0028] In this application, the specific number of nozzle assemblies 50 is taken as two as an example. The nozzles 510 are two nozzles arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the conveying auger 40 and adjacent to the discharge end 410 of the conveying auger 40. However, the number of nozzle assemblies 50 may be only one or more than two.

[0029] Furthermore, in this application, "margin" refers to: the length of the hose 530 between the fixing point of the hose 530 on the fixed frame 10 and the connection point of the hose 530 and the connecting pipe 520 is defined as L; the height of the auger lifting frame 20 from its highest point to its lowest point is defined as H, where L is not less than H. Thus, the length of the hose 530 can meet the requirements for the auger lifting frame 20 to move from its highest point to its lowest point.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, when the conveyor 100 is in use, the conveying auger 40 and two nozzles 510 extend into the fermentation disc 200 and are located above the screen surface 201 of the fermentation disc 200. The conveying auger 40 is used to scrape the material 400 into the discharge port 300 located on one side of the fermentation disc 200. The two nozzles 510 are used to blow out high-pressure air or water, thereby directly blowing the residue of the material 400 at the edge of the screen surface 201 into the discharge port 300.

[0031] The fixed frame 10 supports the auger lifting frame 20 and its components. Specifically, the fixed frame 10 is also configured to rotate circumferentially along the fermentation disc 200, thereby sweeping the residue of the material 400 at the edge of the screen surface 201 circumferentially into the discharge port 300. The auger lifting frame 20 slides with the fixed frame 10 in the height direction of the fixed frame 10. The lifting drive assembly 30 is used to lift the auger lifting frame 20, thereby driving the conveying auger 40 to lift. The type of lifting drive assembly 30 is not limited, as long as it can drive the auger lifting frame 20 to lift.

[0032] In this application, the nozzles 510 of the two nozzle assemblies 50 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the conveying auger 40, with the two assemblies positioned one in front of the other. Figure 1 , Figure 4 The nozzle 510 on the left can blow away most of the material residue 400, while the nozzle 510 on the right blows away the area not reached by the nozzle 510 on the left. The two nozzle assemblies constitute an auxiliary feeding device.

[0033] Nozzle 510 is connected to hose 530 via connecting pipe 520. Nozzle 510 and connecting pipe 520 move up and down together with auger lifting frame 20. Hose 530 is used to connect to an external high-pressure air source or water source (not shown), and hose 530 is positioned using fixed frame 10. Hose 530 is also reserved with sufficient length to accommodate the raising and lowering of auger lifting frame 20.

[0034] Optionally, one end of the hose 530 is fixed to the fixed frame 10 for connecting to an external high-pressure air or water source, and the other end of the hose 530 is connected to the inlet of the connecting pipe 520. The length of the hose 530 is sufficient to allow the auger lifting frame 20 to move to its lowest point.

[0035] Both nozzles 510 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the conveying auger 40 and are adjacent to the discharge end 410 of the conveying auger 40. When in use, the two nozzles 510 can connect with the working range of the conveying auger 40, thereby taking care of the positions that the conveying auger 40 cannot effectively reach.

[0036] In this application, two nozzles 510 are arranged side by side on the auger lifting frame 20. The two nozzles 510 work together to blow the residue of the material 400 at the edge of the screen surface 201 into the discharge port 300, thereby cleaning the residual material more cleanly and thoroughly without the need for manual cleaning. Furthermore, by making the conveyor 100 circle the circumference of the fermentation disc 200, the entire edge area of ​​the screen surface 201 is cleaned.

[0037] Furthermore, in this application, the nozzle assembly 50 is disposed on the auger lifting frame 20 and moves up and down with the auger lifting frame 20. It can enter the interior of the fermentation disc 200 only when in use, thereby avoiding the need to set up a cleaning structure inside the fermentation disc 200 and thus avoiding the need to modify the fermentation disc 200. This provides a simple and reliable solution for cleaning the residue of the material 400.

[0038] In some embodiments, nozzle 510 is an air jet nozzle or a water jet nozzle. Specifically, nozzle 510 can be an air jet nozzle for jetting high-pressure airflow, thus allowing the residue of material 400 to be blown away by high-pressure air blowing. Nozzle 510 can also be a water jet nozzle for jetting high-pressure airflow, thus allowing the residue of material 400 to be blown away by jetting high-pressure water flow.

[0039] In some embodiments, the nozzle 510 is flat. This flat design allows the nozzle 510 to provide a larger working area. Specifically, the length of the nozzle 510's spray opening extends parallel to the tangential direction of the fermentation disc 200, thereby covering a greater portion of the edge area circumferentially.

[0040] In some embodiments, the two nozzles 510 have a height difference in the lifting direction of the auger lifting frame 20. With the two nozzles 510 arranged one in front of the other and having a height difference, a gradient high-pressure airflow or high-pressure water flow can be formed, thereby better sweeping away the residue of material 400 at the edge of the screen surface 201.

[0041] In some embodiments, both the nozzle 510 and the connecting pipe 520 are fixed to the auger lifting frame 20 by pipe clamps 540, which are welded to the auger lifting frame 20.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the pipe clamp 540 serves to position the nozzle 510 and connect the pipe 520. It can also adjust the position of the nozzle 510 and the connecting pipe 520 as needed, thereby changing the height of the nozzle 510 to adjust the purging effect. The pipe clamp 540 is specifically welded to the auger lifting frame 20 using a sealed welding method.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe 520 includes a straight pipe 521 and a bend 522 connected together, the straight pipe 521 being connected to the bend 522 and the bend 522 being connected to the nozzle 510 such that the spray direction of the nozzle 510 is deflected toward the side away from the conveying auger 40.

[0044] like Figure 4As shown, optionally, the bend 522 is bent at 120° relative to the straight pipe 521, and the nozzle 510 is offset to the left. In this way, the high-pressure airflow or high-pressure water flow is set at an angle to the sieve surface 201, and the high-pressure airflow or high-pressure water flow has a flow tendency toward the outside of the fermentation disc 200, thereby providing a better purging effect.

[0045] Optionally, the connecting pipe 520 is made of a rigid material, such as steel pipes for both the straight pipe 521 and the bend 522. The connecting pipe 520 has high strength and can support the nozzle 510. Once the connecting pipe 520 is fixed to the auger lifting frame 20 by the pipe clamp 540, the position of the nozzle 510 is also determined, preventing the nozzle 510 from shaking and ensuring the purging effect. In other embodiments, the straight pipe 521 and the bend 522 can also be rigid plastic pipes.

[0046] Taking both straight pipe 521 and bend 522 as steel pipes as an example, straight pipe 521 and bend 522 can be connected by sealing welding or by threaded connection, so as to achieve connection, communication and ensure sealing.

[0047] Optionally, the bend 522 is detachably connected to the straight pipe 521, and the bend 522 is detachably connected to the nozzle 510. Thus, bends 522 at different angles can be selected as needed. Optionally, the straight pipe 521 and the bend 522 can also be a single integrated design.

[0048] In some embodiments, the inlet of the straight pipe 521 is provided with a pipe fitting 550, which connects the hose 530 to the straight pipe 521; the nozzle 510 is threadedly connected to the straight pipe 521.

[0049] Taking both straight pipe 521 and bend 522 as steel pipes as an example, the straight pipe 521 and hose 530 can be easily connected by setting pipe joint 550. The nozzle 510 and straight pipe 521 can be threaded together. Specifically, the outlet of straight pipe 521 can be provided with external thread, which mates with the internal thread at the inlet of nozzle 510.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the auger lifting frame 20 is vertically connected to the fixed frame 10 via multiple guide shafts 60; the lifting drive assembly 30 includes a screw jack 310 that is connected to the auger lifting frame 20 in a transmission manner.

[0051] The fixed frame 10 is specifically provided with four rectangularly distributed guide shafts 60. The four ends of the auger lifting frame 20 are slidably connected to the guide shafts 60. The lifting drive assembly 30 includes a screw jack 310 and a drive motor 320, and the output end of the screw jack 310 is connected to the auger lifting frame 20.

[0052] like Figure 4As shown, another aspect of this application proposes a fermentation apparatus 1, including a fermentation disc 200, a discharge port 300, and a conveyor 100 for the fermentation disc.

[0053] The discharge port 300 is located on one side of the fermentation disc 200 in the radial direction, corresponding to the outlet of the fermentation disc 200. The conveying auger 40 and two nozzles 510 are located above the screen surface 201 of the fermentation disc 200. The two nozzles 510 are close to the edge of the screen surface 201 and are used to blow the material 400 from the edge of the screen surface 201 toward the discharge port 300.

[0054] When material needs to be discharged, the conveyor auger 40 of the conveyor 100 transports the material 400 from the screen surface 201 toward the discharge port 300. After all the material 400 has been discharged, the conveyor 100 is no longer able to scrape the material 400 residue around the screen surface 201 to the discharge port 300. At this time, the conveyor 100 will travel around the fermentation disc 200 and activate the auxiliary discharge device to directly blow the material 400 residue around the screen surface 201 to the discharge port 300.

[0055] Optionally, the discharge port 300 includes a central plate lifting panel 301 and a central plate discharge hopper 302. When material needs to be discharged, the central plate lifting panel 301 rises to a certain height, and the conveyor 100 transports the material 400 to the central plate discharge hopper 302 to achieve the discharge.

[0056] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
