[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] See Figures 1-3 This embodiment discloses a transfer device, specifically a chili sauce transfer tank, including a tank body 101 and universal wheels 102 installed at the bottom of the tank body 101. It also includes a vacuum feeding device 103 and a discharge device 104. The tank body 101 is equipped with an inlet pipe 105 and an outlet pipe 106. The vacuum feeding device 103 is used to allow the sauce in the fermentation tank to be sucked into the tank body 101 through the inlet pipe 105.
[0035] The discharge device 104 includes a blower 107 and an air distribution hood 108. The blower 107 is installed on the tank 101 and is used to supply air into the tank 101. The air distribution hood 108 is installed inside the tank 101 and is connected to the air outlet of the blower 107. The air distribution hood 108 is provided with a plurality of air holes 109.
[0036] Valves are installed on the feed pipe 105 and the discharge pipe 106.
[0037] In this embodiment, the feed pipe 105 is installed at the bottom of the tank 101, and the vacuum feeding device 103 is installed at the top of the tank 101. After the sauce in the fermentation tank has completed fermentation, the feed pipe 105 is placed into the fermentation tank, and the vacuum feeding device 103 is activated. After the air in the tank 101 is removed by the vacuum feeding device 103, a certain vacuum degree is formed inside the tank 101. As the vacuum degree inside the tank 101 increases, a significant pressure difference is formed between the inside and outside of the tank 101, allowing the sauce in the fermentation tank to be sucked into the tank 101 through the feed pipe 105. After the feed pipe 105 extends into the fermentation tank, the feed pipe 105, the tank 101, and the vacuum feeding device 103 form a closed conveying system, preventing the material from being... The system effectively mitigates splashing and contamination during transport, maintaining a clean production environment and further improving material transport efficiency. The discharge pipe 106 is located at the bottom of the tank 101. After the tank 101 is moved to a predetermined position, the blower 107 installed on the tank 101 is turned on. The blower 107 inputs airflow into the air distribution hood 108, increasing the air pressure inside the tank 101. This pushes the sauce inside the tank 101 out through the discharge pipe 106, further improving discharge efficiency and effect. The air distribution hood 108 guides and evenly distributes the airflow from the blower 107, preventing the sauce inside the tank 101 from sinking or splashing due to the blower 107 only supplying air through a single inlet point, thus improving discharge efficiency and effect.
[0038] In some embodiments, the vacuum feeding device 103 includes a vacuum pump 110 and a connecting pipe 111. The connecting pipe 111 is installed at the top of the tank 101 and communicates with the tank 101. The vacuum pump 110 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 111. After the vacuum pump 110 is started, the air in the tank 101 is drawn away through the connecting pipe 111, and a certain degree of vacuum is formed in the tank 101. As the vacuum degree in the tank 101 increases, by setting the connecting pipe 111 at the top of the tank 101, it is possible to avoid liquid entering the tank 101 during the process of drawing gas from the tank being sucked into the connecting pipe 111, which could cause safety hazards such as liquid splashing or electric shock.
[0039] In some embodiments, the feed pipe 105 is a telescopic pipe. After the sauce in the fermentation tank is drawn into the tank 101 by the feed pipe 105, the liquid level of the sauce in the fermentation tank will drop; by adjusting the length of the feed pipe 105, the feed end of the feed pipe 105 can always extend into the sauce in the fermentation tank.
[0040] In some embodiments, the outer side of the air distribution hood 108 is provided with a plurality of oblique holes 112, which are equally spaced along the circumference of the air distribution hood 108. By providing the oblique holes 112, it can be ensured that the airflow input into the tank 101 can be evenly distributed over a wider area, reducing dead zones and vortex areas, thereby achieving a better air distribution effect.
[0041] In some embodiments, a stirring device 113 for stirring the sauce inside the tank 101 is installed inside the tank 101. By providing the stirring device 113, the sauce inside the tank 101 can be stirred, preventing the sauce from separating during transportation.
[0042] In some embodiments, the stirring device 113 includes a drive motor 114 and a stirrer 115. The stirrer 115 is rotatably mounted on the tank 101, and the drive motor 114 is mounted on the tank 101 and used to drive the stirrer 115 to rotate. The top end of the stirrer 115 is rotatably mounted on the tank 101 via a bearing and is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 114. After the drive motor 114 drives the stirrer 115 to rotate, it can stir the sauce in the tank 101.
[0043] In some embodiments, a support frame 116 is installed inside the tank 101, and the end of the stirrer 115 away from the drive motor 114 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 116. The support frame 116 is fixedly installed inside the tank 101. By rotatably mounting the end of the stirrer 115 away from the drive motor 114 on the support frame 116, the stability of the stirrer 115 during rotation can be improved. The bottom end of the stirrer 115 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 116 via a bearing.
[0044] In some embodiments, the tank 101 includes a lid 117 and a body 118, the lid 117 and the body 118 being detachably connected; the drive motor 114 is mounted on the body 118 and is used to drive the stirrer 115 to rotate.
[0045] In some embodiments, the air vent 109 is a stepped vent. By setting the air vent 109 with a stepped structure, a more uniform wind speed distribution can be formed when the airflow passes through the wind distribution shroud 108, which helps to reduce eddies and turbulence in the airflow and improve the stability and efficiency of the airflow.
[0046] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
