[0035] The cleaning and collection mechanism is located on the outside of the fermentation tank 3. It is used to clean the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3 and to separate and collect the soy sauce and raw materials after fermentation.

[0036] The cleaning ring 410 is slidably disposed on the inside of the fermentation tank 3. Both the upper and lower surfaces of the cleaning ring 410 are inclined surfaces, which are used to clean the inside of the fermentation tank 3.

[0037] The screening plate 411 is located inside the fermentation tank 3. A guide platform 413 is provided at the bottom of the screening plate 411. The screening plate 411 has multiple through holes for filtering out the fermented soy sauce and blocking the raw materials above the screening plate 411. The guide platform 413 is cone-shaped to guide and transport the soy sauce falling onto the surface of the guide platform 413 out of the fermentation tank 3.

[0038] The mixing mechanism includes a stirring component and a rotation component. The stirring component is located inside the fermentation tank 3 and is used to stir the materials inside the fermentation tank 3. The rotation component is located on the stirring component and is used to drive the stirring component to rotate while stirring. The stirring component includes a motor 503, a rotating shaft 504, and connecting plates 505. The motor 503 is located at the top of the fermentation tank 3, the rotating shaft 504 is located at the output end of the motor 503, a sliding groove 511 is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 504, and multiple connecting plates 505 are arranged in a ring around the outer side of the rotating shaft 504. A fixed shaft 506 is rotatably arranged on the side of the connecting plate 505 away from the rotating shaft 504. A stirring blade 507 is provided on the outer side of the fixed shaft 506. When the motor 503 is started, the motor 503 drives the rotating shaft 504 to rotate. The rotating shaft 504 drives the fixed shaft 506 to rotate through the connecting plates 505. The fixed shaft 506 drives the stirring blade 507 to rotate, thereby stirring the soy sauce raw materials and fermentation materials inside the fermentation tank 3. The self-rotating assembly includes a cylinder 501, a push rod 512, a moving ring 513, and a second fixed block 502. The cylinder 501 is located at the bottom of the fermentation tank 3. The push rod 512 is located at the output end of the cylinder 501. The moving ring 513 is located outside the push rod 512. The connection between the moving ring 513 and the push rod 512 is within a sliding groove 511 and is slidably connected to the groove 511.

The moving ring 513 drives the fixed block 502 to move. Since the connecting piece 505 is fixed, when the fixed block 502 moves up and down, it drives the fixed block 509 and the mounting plate 508 to rotate through the rotating rod 510. The mounting plate 508 drives the fixed shaft 506 and the stirring blade 507 to rotate on the connecting piece 505, so that the stirring blade 507 can rotate.

[0039] Example 2; as Figures 3-4 As shown, this utility model proposes a fermentation device for soy sauce production. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment details the structure of the cleaning and collection mechanism.

[0040] The cleaning and collection mechanism includes a connecting ring 405, a sliding rod 404, a connecting block 409, and a sorting and collection component. The connecting ring 405 is slidably mounted on the fermentation tank 3, and is located at the top of the sliding rod 404. The connecting block 409 is located at the bottom of the sliding rod 404, and the end of the connecting block 409 away from the sliding rod 404 is connected to the side of the cleaning ring 410. The connecting ring 405 can drive the three sliding rods 404 to slide on the fermentation tank 3. When the sliding rods 404 move, they drive the cleaning ring 410 to move through the connecting block 409, thereby effectively and thoroughly cleaning the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3. The sorting and cleaning component is located on the outside of the fermentation tank 3 and is used to separate the soy sauce and raw materials and collect them separately. The sorting and cleaning components include a connecting frame 401, a collection box 402, a rotating door 403, a straight slide rail 406, a support plate 412, and a sliding door 407. The connecting frame 401 is located on the side of the base 1. The collection box 402 is located at the end of the connecting frame 401 away from the base 1, and the inner side of the collection box 402 is connected to the outer side of the fermentation tank 3. The support plate 412 is located on the side of the screening plate 411, and four support plates 412 are arranged in a ring around the screening plate 411. The rotating door 403 is rotatably mounted on the collection box 402. The straight slide rail 406 is located on the outer side of the fermentation tank 3. The sliding door 407 is slidably mounted on the straight slide rail 406, and four straight slide rails 406 are arranged in a ring around the fermentation tank 3. A fixing frame 414 is located on the outer side of the sliding door 407, and a fixed bracket is slidably mounted at the end of the fixing frame 414 away from the sliding door 407. Positioning rod 415 has a pull rod 417 at its end and a spring 416 on its outer side. The fermentation tank 3 has two positioning holes 408 on its outer side, which can be connected to the positioning rod 415. Pulling the rod 417 disengages the positioning rod 415 from the positioning hole 408, compressing the spring 416 and moving the positioning rod 415. The positioning rod 415 then moves the sliding door 407. Aligning the positioning rod 415 with the upper positioning hole 408 opens the sliding door 407, while aligning it with the lower positioning hole 408 closes it. Releasing the pull rod 417 allows the spring 416 to engage the positioning rod 415 within the positioning hole 408, thus fixing the position of the sliding door 407.

[0041] In summary, when using this utility model, the positioning rod 415 is disengaged from the positioning hole 408 by the pull rod 417. At this time, the spring 416 is compressed, moving the positioning rod 415. The positioning rod 415 drives the sliding door 407 to move, aligning the positioning rod 415 with the lower positioning hole 408. Then, the pull rod 417 is released, and under the action of the spring 416, the positioning rod 415 can be locked into the positioning hole 408, thereby fixing the position of the sliding door 407 and closing the sliding door 407. Then, the motor 503 and cylinder 50 are started. 1. Motor 503 drives rotating shaft 504 to rotate. Rotating shaft 504 drives fixed shaft 506 to rotate via connecting piece 505. Fixed shaft 506 drives stirring blade 507 to rotate, thereby stirring the soy sauce raw materials and fermentation raw materials in fermentation tank 3. At the same time, cylinder 501 drives push rod 512 to move up and down slightly. When push rod 512 moves, it drives moving ring 513 to move. Moving ring 513 drives fixed block 2 502 to move. When fixed block 2 502 moves up and down, it drives fixed block 3 via rotating rod 510. When the mounting plate 508 and the mounting rod 509 rotate, the mounting plate 508 drives the fixed shaft 506 and the stirring blade 507 to rotate on the connecting plate 505, thereby allowing the stirring blade 507 to rotate and accelerating the fermentation efficiency of the soy sauce. After fermentation is complete, the pull rod 417 is pulled up again to disengage the positioning rod 415 from the positioning hole 408. Then, the sliding door 407 is moved to align with the upper positioning hole 408 to open the sliding door 407. Finally, the pull rod 417 is released to lock the positioning rod 415 into the positioning hole 408 for fixation. The sliding door 407 is positioned so that the connecting ring 405 moves back and forth, causing the three sliding rods 404 to slide on the fermentation tank 3. When the sliding rods 404 move, they drive the cleaning ring 410 to move through the connecting block 409, thereby effectively and thoroughly cleaning the inner wall of the fermentation tank 3. After cleaning, all the raw materials on the screening plate 411 are removed, so as to carry out subsequent work. The fermented soy sauce falls onto the guide platform 413 through the screening plate 411, and then flows into the collection box 402 from the guide platform 413.
