[0027] The first temperature detection mechanism 2 is installed on the cover above the inner tank 7, and the first temperature detection mechanism 2 is close to the inner wall of the inner tank 7.

[0028] The first temperature detection mechanism 2 monitors the temperature of the inner tank 7 near the outside area, while the second temperature detection mechanism 5 monitors the temperature at different heights in the middle area of ​​the inner tank 7, so as to better control the fermentation temperature.

[0029] The inner tank 7 is welded and fixed to the central tube column 10, and the support seat 16 is snapped at the bottom between the inner tank 7 and the outer tank 6. The inspection door 3 is hinged to the outside of the outer tank 6, and the inspection door 3 corresponds to the position of the electric heating tube 11 and the water cooling tube 12.

[0030] The support column 15 has an I-shaped structure, and the support column 15 and the support base 16 are an integral structure.

[0031] The main body 1 is also equipped with an electric heating tube 11, a water cooling tube 12, and a cooling pipe 14. A spiral partition plate 17 is welded and fixed to the outside of the inner tank 7, and the electric heating tube 11 and the water cooling tube 12 are installed in the spiral groove formed by the spiral partition plate 17. A central tube column 10 is provided in the middle of the inner tank 7. The inner tank 7 is welded and fixed to the central tube column 10, and a support seat 16 is snapped between the bottom of the inner tank 7 and the outer tank 6. An inspection door 3 is hinged to the outside of the outer tank 6, and the inspection door 3 corresponds to the position of the electric heating tube 11 and the water cooling tube 12. This structure can support the area where the central tube column 10 is set through the support seat 16. At the same time, the support seat 16 also plays a role in supporting and stabilizing the inner tank 7 and the outer tank 6.

[0032] The electric heating tube 11 and the water cooling tube 12 are used for heating and cooling the fermenter, respectively. The electric heating tube 11 controls the heating temperature by electric heating, and the water cooling tube 12 cools the tank by water cooling. The inspection door 3 is used for inspection and maintenance of the installation parts of the electric heating tube 11 and the water cooling tube 12. The spiral partition plate 17 securely positions the electric heating tube 11 and the water cooling tube 12 and can separate the electric heating tube 11 and the water cooling tube 12, thereby improving safety performance.

[0033] The main body 1 is provided with a stirring mechanism 4. One end of the stirring mechanism 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 13. One end of the rotating shaft 13 is provided with a rotating connector 8. The surface of the rotating connector 8 is provided with a stirring rod 9.

A through hole is provided between the bottom of the support column 15 and the support base 16 for the passage of the cooling pipe 14 and the wires of the second temperature detection mechanism 5. This structure facilitates the cooling of the cooling pipe 14 and the second temperature detection mechanism 5. The wiring of the temperature detection mechanism 5 is handled by a rotating shaft 13 that runs through both the support column 15 and the support base 16.

The rotating shaft 13 performs fermentation and stirring treatment with the cooperation of the rotating connector 8, stirring rods 9 and stirring mechanisms 4, so that the temperature of the material is evenly distributed.

[0035] The working principle of the temperature control mechanism for a microbial brewing fermentation tank provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0036] In use, when the main body 1 is working, the main body 1 monitors the temperature at different positions in real time through the first temperature detection mechanism 2 and the second temperature detection mechanism 5 set on the side of the central tube column 10, so as to adjust the temperature in time.

[0039] Second Embodiment

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 and Figure 6 Based on the temperature control mechanism for a fermentation tank used for microbial brewing provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another temperature control mechanism for a fermentation tank used for microbial brewing. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0041] Specifically, the difference in the temperature control mechanism for a fermentation tank for microbial brewing provided in the second embodiment of this application is that, in a temperature control mechanism for a fermentation tank for microbial brewing, a fixing sleeve 22 is provided on the surface of the main body 1, a rotating groove 23 is provided inside the fixing sleeve 22, and a rotating ring 24 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 23.

[0042] The fixing sleeve 22 is a threaded sleeve, and the surface of the main body 1 is provided with threads that are compatible with the fixing sleeve 22.

[0043] The surface of the main body 1 is provided with a protective sleeve 19, and the interior of the protective sleeve 19 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 20, and each of the plurality of positioning grooves 20 is slidably connected with a positioning block 21.

[0044] Both the main body 1 and the protective sleeve 19 have multiple positioning grooves 20 inside, and each positioning groove 20 has a positioning block 21 slidably connected inside. One end of each positioning block 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective sleeve 19 and the rotating ring 24.

[0045] The working principle of the temperature control mechanism for a microbial brewing fermentation tank provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0046] In use, by rotating the fixed sleeve 22 to one side, it moves upward on the surface of the main body 1, causing the rotating ring 24 to move upward. When the rotating ring 24 moves upward, it causes multiple positioning blocks 21 to move upward and separate from the multiple positioning grooves 20. After the protective sleeve 19 moves upward, it causes the multiple positioning blocks 21 to separate from the multiple positioning grooves 20. After the protective sleeve 19 is separated from the main body, the protective sleeve 19 can be removed.

[0047] When installing the protective sleeve 19, the multiple positioning blocks 21 at the bottom of the protective sleeve 19 are inserted into the multiple positioning slots 20 respectively. Then, the multiple positioning blocks 21 at the bottom of the rotating ring 24 are inserted into the multiple positioning slots 20 inside the protective sleeve 19. Finally, the fixing sleeve 22 is rotated to one side, so that the fixing sleeve 22 moves downward to a suitable position on the surface of the main body 1. After the multiple positioning blocks 21 are inserted into the multiple positioning slots 20 respectively, the protective sleeve 19 is limited.

[0048] Compared with related technologies, the temperature control mechanism for a microbial brewing fermentation tank provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0049] This utility model provides a temperature control mechanism for a fermentation tank used in microbial brewing. By using a fixed sleeve 22 in conjunction with a rotating groove 23, a rotating ring 24, a positioning block 21, and a positioning groove 20, it is convenient to install and disassemble the protective sleeve 19, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the internal electric heating tube 1 or water cooling tube 12.

[0050] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
