For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0032] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a user-friendly fermentation tank provided by an embodiment of the present invention, comprising a tank body 10 and a support 20. The tank body 10 includes a main body 11 and a sedimentation section 12 disposed at the bottom of the main body 11. The tank body 10 also includes an inner layer 13 and a functional layer 14 surrounding the inner layer 13. A partition 15 is disposed within the functional layer 14 to separate the main body 11 and the sedimentation section 12. A heat preservation interface 30 is disposed on the surface of the main body 11, and an ice water interface 31 is disposed on the surface of the sedimentation section 12. A refrigerant pipe is arranged around the functional layer 14 and the inner layer 13, and the refrigerant pipe is connected to the ice water interface 31. A detachable cleaning and discharging section 16 is disposed at the bottom of the sedimentation section 12, and a detachable liquid outlet section 17 is disposed on the side wall of the sedimentation section 12.

[0033] The insulation interface 30 can be connected to temperature control systems such as heating and cooling systems. By providing insulation material on the upper part of the partition plate 15 between the functional layer 14 and the inner layer 13, the suitability of the fermentation environment can be further ensured.

[0034] Furthermore, the refrigerant pipe can be installed under the partition plate 15 between the functional layer 14 and the inner layer 13. By surrounding the refrigerant pipe, the fermentation environment in the sedimentation section 12 can be cooled and the temperature controlled to keep the reaction at a suitable temperature, since heat changes are generally brought about during the fermentation process.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of the main body 11 is provided with a feeding port 111, the inner side wall of the feeding port 111 is provided with a feeding plate, and the outer edge of the feeding port 111 is surrounded by a safety valve interface 112, a sight glass interface 113, a filling port 114 and a pressurizing port 115.

[0036] The feeding port 111 can be configured as a circular opening with a large diameter, and the internal guide plate can be configured to surround the feeding port 111, ultimately forming a structure similar to a hollow tube, so as to ensure that the input material can be blocked by the guide plate as much as possible, reducing the phenomenon of material adhering to the inside of the main body 11; and the guide plate can be inclined towards the inner wall of the main body 11, of course, the inclination angle should not be too large, so as to reduce the adhesion of material while guiding.

[0037] Furthermore, a closed cover can be provided at the top of the feeding port 111. The structure of the closed cover can be set as the cover of a common fermentation tank. Of course, in one embodiment, in order to improve the fermentation effect inside the fermentation tank, a stirring component is provided at the bottom of the closed cover to stir the material inside the fermentation tank.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the safety valve interface 112 can access the safety valve, ensuring that when the pressure is too high, it can automatically release excess gas to prevent safety accidents such as equipment damage or explosion; the sight glass interface 113 can be connected to the observation sight glass, allowing the operator to directly monitor the internal process through the sight glass interface 113, facilitating monitoring and adjusting the production process; the material injection port 114 and the pressurization port 115 can be used to add raw materials and adjust pressure, respectively, improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0039] As can be understood, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the sight glass interface 113 and the pressurization port 115 are provided outside the sedimentation part 12, and the sedimentation part 12 has a conical structure. The conical structure can make the fermented liquid flow out more easily when discharged, reducing residue and facilitating cleaning and preparation for the next batch of fermentation. In addition, the conical structure can help form better circulation flow, improve stirring efficiency, ensure uniform composition of the fermentation liquid, help reduce dead angles in the container, reduce the risk of contamination, and maintain the hygiene of the fermentation process.

[0040] Furthermore, both the sedimentation part 12 and the main body part 11 are provided with sight glass interfaces 113 and pressurization ports 115. The sight glass interface 113 provided on the upper part, i.e., the main body part 11, allows the operator to clearly observe the state of the fermentation liquid surface, such as foam and yeast sediment, without disturbing the fermentation process. Visual inspection can be performed without opening the cover, reducing the risk of contamination. The sight glass interface 113 on the lower part, i.e., the sedimentation part 12, can observe the condition at the bottom of the fermentation barrel, such as the accumulation of sediment, ensuring that there is no sediment blocking the outlet. The lower setting position facilitates the inspection and cleaning of the sight glass by the staff, ensuring clear vision.

[0041] As for the pressurization port 115, sometimes carbon dioxide or other gas needs to be injected into the barrel during fermentation for adjustment. The pressurization port 115 provided on the upper part, i.e., the main body part 11, can facilitate gas injection, and the gas pressure generated during the fermentation process can be released through the upper pressurization port 115 to prevent excessive pressure in the barrel. The pressurization port 115 on the lower part, i.e., the pressurization port 115 provided on the sedimentation part 12, can make the gas rise uniformly from the bottom, helping to distribute the gas in the fermentation liquid more evenly and improving the fermentation efficiency. When pressurizing, pressurizing from the bottom not only facilitates operation, but also reduces the splashing of liquid due to pressure changes when injecting gas from the bottom.

[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the cleaning and discharging part 16 comprises a movable shell 161, a discharging pipe 162 and a filter 163. The movable shell 161 comprises a connecting part and a rotating part. The discharging pipe 162 is arranged inside the movable shell 161 and is hung on the inner wall of the movable shell 161. The filter 163 is arranged at one end of the discharging pipe 162 connected with the fermentation barrel.

[0043] The rotating part is rotatable relative to the connecting part. A universal joint is arranged between the rotating part and the connecting part. In other words, the rotating part and the connecting part can have an L-shaped structure. The universal joint can have a common structure on the market. The discharging pipe 162 arranged inside can have a flexible structure to move the discharging pipe 162 inside while the universal joint rotates. This structure can facilitate the rotation of the universal joint according to the needs of the staff when receiving the discharging and cleaning waste, and facilitate the operation of the staff.

[0044] In addition, the filter 163 can comprise an outer ring, a drainage wall and a filter screen 164. The drainage wall is arranged on the inner wall of the outer ring and is inclined to the center. The filter screen 164 is arranged at both ends of the outer ring, and the mesh size decreases along the guide direction of the drainage wall.

[0045] Optionally, the filter 163 can also be arranged in a detachable manner to replace or clean the structure, so that the use of the fermentation barrel is more convenient.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The liquid outlet 17 comprises a flexible pipe 171, a rotating head 172 arranged on both sides of the flexible pipe 171 and a microporous filter 173. The rotating head 172 comprises an inner baffle 174 and an outer rotating part 175. The outer rotating part 175 drives the inner baffle 174 to rotate to control the flow of the liquid outlet 17.

[0047] As shown in Figure 6 The microporous filter 173 comprises a filter housing 176, a filter body 177 and a support frame 178. The filter body 177 and the support frame 178 are arranged inside the filter housing 176. The support frame 178 wraps the filter body 177 and is detachably arranged on the inner wall of the filter housing 176.

[0048] The support frame 178 can be a columnar frame body with a mesh opening to wrap the filter body 177. The filter body 177 can be a filter column composed of multiple materials, such as a microporous filter material with a specific pore size, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant and alcohol-resistant synthetic materials, to filter out solid particles and impurities in the wine.

[0049] Further, the outer side wall of the sedimentation part 12 is provided with a transverse strain inoculation port 18 and a tank inspection port 19, which are oppositely arranged and respectively located on both sides of the sedimentation part 12, wherein the strain inoculation port 18 is arranged at the lower position of the sedimentation part 12, that is, the whole device, on the one hand, facilitates the use of the staff, and makes it easier for the operator to inoculate, in a large fermentation tank, without the need to climb high, and the strain is usually transported through a pipeline, and the lower inoculation port is convenient for connecting with the external pipeline system; on the other hand, the strain inoculation port 18 can be designed as a valve that can control the inoculation speed, so that the strain can be slowly and uniformly added to the fermentation liquid, avoiding the impact on the fermentation process, and reducing the bubbles generated in the inoculation process, which may affect the uniform distribution of the strain.

[0050] Optionally, as shown in the drawings, the bracket 20 is provided with a bottom plate 21 at the bottom, the bottom plate 21 comprises a main plate 22 and a pull-out part 23 arranged inside the main plate 22, the side wall of the main part 11 is provided with a pull-out opening, and the pull-out part 23 is slidingly arranged inside the pull-out opening; the surface and the bottom wall of the main plate 22 are provided with a plurality of water passing holes 25, and the pull-out part 23 is provided with a water absorption layer 24.
