Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fermentation can, and more particularly to a fermentation can with an automatic lid opening and closing function. Background Technology

[0002] In food processing, fermentation technology, and agriculture, fermentation tanks are important equipment used for fermentation, maturation, or special treatment of specific materials (such as areca nuts or other seed crops).

[0003] Traditional can-making operations are mostly manual or semi-automated. The need to manually open or close the can lid not only increases labor costs and operational complexity but also makes it difficult to ensure consistent operating conditions each time, affecting product quality. Furthermore, traditional can-making processes are inefficient during material loading and unloading, easily leading to material waste and environmental pollution.

[0004] The utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN208087192U discloses an automatic opening mechanism for areca nut processing cans, including a can body, a frame, and a controller. The can body is rotatably connected to the frame and has an opening. A knife gate valve is installed at the opening. A cylinder is installed on the upper inner side of the frame. A convex groove component is provided on one side of the cylinder piston rod. A T-shaped locking component is provided on one side of the knife gate valve valve rod, which engages or disengages from the convex groove component as the can body rotates. A normally closed proximity switch is provided on the convex groove component. The normally closed proximity switch is electrically connected to the controller and a manual button. Both the cylinder and the knife gate valve are controlled by the controller. After the controller receives a trigger signal from the contact switch, the can body stops rotating, and the T-shaped locking component of the valve rod engages in the convex groove component of the piston rod. The piston rod of the cylinder is controlled to open and close the knife gate valve by sliding and pushing it through the convex groove component and the T-shaped locking component. However, this opening mechanism requires manual counting of the tank's rotations to open, followed by manual control of a normally closed proximity switch via a manual button. After the material discharge and feeding processes are completed, the proximity switch must be manually closed again, causing the controller to move the piston rod of the cylinder forward, pushing the valve stem of the gate valve and causing the valve plate to move forward, thus closing the valve. Therefore, this opening mechanism requires significant manual intervention, resulting in a high labor input.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a can manufacturing system with an automatic lid opening and closing function to improve work efficiency and reduce manpower input. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, a cavity is provided between the inner and outer walls of the seed fermentation tank, and a heating pipe is installed inside the cavity.

[0009] Preferably, a pressure relief valve is provided on the lid of the seed jar to release the pressure inside the seed jar.

The fixing plates at both ends of the material collection frame are fixedly connected to the mounting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the material collection frame is provided with a discharge hole, and the inner wall of the material collection frame is inclined toward the discharge hole.

[0012] Preferably, a fixed frame is installed at the bottom of the mounting frame, and a conveyor belt is installed on the fixed frame, with the conveyor belt located directly below the collection frame.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The electromagnet is moved to a position aligned with the polygonal ring frame by the hydraulic cylinder piston rod and inserted into the polygonal ring frame, thereby realizing the mechanical connection between the electromagnet and the can lid. When the can lid needs to be opened, the motor drives the can lid to rotate. When the protrusion rotates to the gap between the protrusions, the hydraulic cylinder piston rod retracts upward, and the can lid separates from the connecting block, achieving the effect of quick opening of the can lid. When the can lid needs to be closed, when the protrusion rotates to the gap between the protrusions, the hydraulic cylinder piston rod extends downward, and the protrusion moves down to below the protrusion. Then the can lid is rotated until the protrusion rotates to the point directly below the protrusion, thereby achieving the effect of quick closing of the can lid.

[0017] 2. When unloading is required, rotate the seed tank so that the through hole is directly opposite the unloading hole of the collection frame. The material can then be smoothly unloaded from the through hole into the collection frame and then unloaded onto the conveyor belt through the unloading hole of the collection frame, thus achieving efficient unloading and collection of materials.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] Example: A fermentation can with an automatic lid opening and closing function, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the device includes a mounting frame 1, with a drive shaft 22 rotatably mounted between the two sides of the mounting frame 1 in the width direction. A seed fermentation tank 2 is mounted on the drive shaft 22. A cavity is provided between the inner and outer walls of the seed fermentation tank 2, and a heating pipe is installed inside the cavity. In use, high-temperature steam is introduced into the heating pipe to heat the inner wall of the seed fermentation tank 2, thereby heating the material inside the seed fermentation tank 2. A gantry frame 3 is mounted on the top of both sides of the mounting frame 1 in the length direction. A hydraulic cylinder 4 is mounted at the center of the gantry frame 3. A motor 5 is mounted on the movable end of the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4. The motor 5 is located outside the cylinder barrel of the hydraulic cylinder 4, and the output shaft of the motor 5 is connected to an electromagnet 6. The electromagnet 6 has a hexagonal structure. A through hole is opened on the body of the seed-producing tank 2, located directly below the gantry frame 3. This through hole is used to load or unload materials from the seed-producing tank 2. A connecting block 71 is installed inside this through hole. The tank cover 7 is detachably connected to the top of the connecting block 71. The tank cover 7 is made of iron or steel. Protrusions 70 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the inner bottom side of the tank cover 7. The outer top wall of the connecting block 71 has protrusions 710 that match the protrusions on the tank cover 7. The protrusions 70 and 710 have the same length. The protrusions 70 pass through the gaps between adjacent protrusions 70. One end of the bottom of the protrusion 710 is... With limit block 711, when the can lid 7 is connected to the connecting block 71 to seal the through hole on the seed dispenser 2 (i.e., in the closed state), the protrusion 70 on the can lid 7 is directly below the protrusion 710 on the connecting block 71. When it is necessary to open the lid, rotate the can lid 7 at a suitable angle, rotating the protrusion 71 to the gap between the protrusions 710. At this time, the can lid 7 moves upward, and the protrusion 71 passes through the gap between the protrusions 710, separating the can lid 7 from the connecting block 71, thus achieving a quick opening operation. When it is necessary to close the lid, rotate the can lid 7 so that the protrusion 70 is located at the gap between the protrusions 710, and press the can lid 7 downward, the protrusion 70 passes downward through the gap between the protrusions 710. The can lid 7 is rotated until the protrusion 70 is directly below the protrusion 710, thus achieving rapid closing of the can lid 7. The top of the can lid 7 is equipped with a polygonal ring frame 72 adapted to the electromagnet 6. The polygonal ring frame 72 is hexagonal. The construction of the polygonal ring frame 71 and the electromagnet 6 can be circular, triangular, quadrilateral, or other structures as needed. The electromagnet 6 can be detachably inserted into the polygonal ring frame 72, and the electromagnet 6 and the polygonal ring frame 72 are magnetically attracted to each other. When the electromagnet 6 is connected to the polygonal ring frame 72, the motor 5 drives the can lid 7 to rotate, realizing the connection or separation of the can lid 7 from the connecting block 71, achieving the function of rapid closing and opening of the can lid 7.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, a pressure relief valve 8 is provided on the lid 7. The pressure relief valve 8 is used to release the pressure inside the seed-producing tank 2. The pressure inside the seed-producing tank 2 is quickly released through the pressure relief valve 8, which facilitates the opening of the lid 7.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a platform 16 that allows users to add materials to the seed fermentation tank 2 through the through hole on the seed fermentation tank 2.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a torque sensor 9 is installed on the output shaft of motor 5. The torque sensor 9 is used to monitor whether the can lid 7 is closed in place. When the protrusion 70 rotates to the position directly below the protrusion 710 and the protrusion 70 contacts the limiting block 711, the limiting block 711 blocks the rotation of the protrusion 70, and the can lid 7 cannot continue to rotate. At this time, the output torque of the output shaft of motor 5 is monitored by the torque sensor 9. After the can lid 7 is blocked, the control unit controls motor 5 to stop to protect motor 5.

[0030] The fermentation tank 2 is equipped with a temperature sensor to monitor its internal temperature in real time. A wireless transmitter is also installed on fermentation tank 2, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor. The real-time temperature measured by the sensor is transmitted to the control unit via the wireless transmitter. The control unit adjusts operating parameters based on the received data, such as triggering the lid opening / closing action when necessary, to maintain the optimal fermentation environment. Furthermore, the control unit can also make other necessary adjustments based on temperature feedback, such as adjusting the operating status of the heating or cooling system. This allows users to remotely monitor and adjust operating parameters, such as triggering the lid opening / closing action or adjusting the operating status of the heating / cooling system to maintain the optimal fermentation environment.

[0031] When it is necessary to open or close the can lid 7, the control system issues a command to open or close the can lid 7 according to preset parameters (such as temperature, time, etc.). After receiving the opening signal, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4 extends and extends downward, moving the electromagnet 6 to a position aligned with the polygonal ring frame 71 and inserting it into the polygonal ring frame 71 of the can lid 7, thereby realizing the mechanical connection between the electromagnet 6 and the can lid 7. When it is necessary to open the lid quickly, the motor 5 drives the can lid 7 to rotate until the protrusion 70 rotates to the notch between the protrusions 710. At this time, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4 retracts upward, and the protrusion 70 moves from the protrusion 710. The can lid 7 passes through the gap between 10 and 10, separating the can lid 7 from the connecting block 71, thus achieving the effect of quick opening of the can lid 7; when it is necessary to quickly close the can lid 7, when the protrusion 70 is rotated to be directly above the notch of the protrusion 710, the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 4 extends downward, and the can lid 7 moves towards the seed can 2. When the protrusion 70 moves to be below the protrusion 710, the can lid 7 is rotated so that the protrusion 70 rotates to be directly below the protrusion 710, and the can lid 7 is connected to the connecting block 71. The limiting block 711 limits the rotation angle of the can lid 7 to prevent the can lid 7 from rotating excessively, thereby achieving the effect of quick closing of the can lid 7.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, guide blocks 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the seed fermentation tank 2 with the through hole as the center. The guide blocks 21 are inclined downward from both ends of the seed fermentation tank 2 toward the through hole. The guide blocks 21 are used to guide the material in the seed fermentation tank 2 to the through hole.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, connecting rings 11 are symmetrically installed between the two length directions of the mounting frame 1. The seed fermentation tank 2 passes through the connecting rings 11. The two connecting rings 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the through hole of the seed fermentation tank 2. A material collection frame 13 is set between the two connecting rings 11. The fixing plates 12 at both ends of the material collection frame 13 are fixed to the mounting frame 1. The connecting rings 11 provide stable support for the material collection frame 13. The material collection frame 13 is provided with a discharge hole. The inner wall of the material collection frame 13 is inclined towards its discharge hole, so that the material can naturally slide down to the discharge hole of the material collection frame 13, realizing continuous production.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a fixed frame 14 is installed at the lower part of the mounting frame 1, and a conveyor belt 15 is provided on the fixed frame 14. The conveyor belt 15 is located directly below the collection frame 13. The material that has completed fermentation, maturation or special treatment is transported to the designated collection point for efficient collection through the conveyor belt 15.

[0035] When it is necessary to efficiently unload the material in the seed dispensing tank 2, the tank cover 7 is opened, and the seed dispensing tank 2 is rotated so that the through hole on the seed dispensing tank 2 is rotated into the material collection frame 13. When the through hole on the seed dispensing tank 2 is rotated to a position directly opposite to the discharge hole of the material collection frame 13, the material in the seed dispensing tank 2 is discharged into the material collection frame 13 through the discharge hole of the material collection frame 13 and discharged onto the conveyor belt 15. The material is then transported by the conveyor belt 15 to a designated location for collection, thereby achieving efficient unloading of the material in the seed dispensing tank 2.

[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
