[0033] Refer to Figure 3The stirring assembly comprises a cover 20 rotatably connected to the outside of the fermentation tank 9, a motor base 3 fixedly connected to the outside of the cover 20, a driving motor 19 fixedly connected to the inside of the motor base 3, a rotating shaft 21 fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 19, stirring blades 14 and stirring rollers 13 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 21. When the driving motor 19 is started, the rotating shaft 21 is rotated. The stirring blades 14 and the stirring rollers 13 on the rotating shaft 21 are rotated, and the raw materials are stirred, so that the raw materials are mixed more uniformly. The rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected with a scraper 11, and the surface of the scraper 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the fermentation tank 9. The scraper 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fermentation tank 9.

[0034] Working principle: The raw materials required for the production of fragrant vinegar are added to the fermentation tank 9 through the feeding hopper 2. The heating rod 18 in the water tank 4 works to heat the water in the water tank 4. The generator 7 provides power support for the electrical equipment of the whole device. Hot water flows in the pipeline 8 outside the fermentation tank 9, and due to the heat conduction effect, it provides a suitable fermentation temperature environment for the raw materials in the fermentation tank 9, maintains the stable temperature conditions required for the fermentation process, and promotes the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and the fermentation reaction. At the same time, the water pump 10 in the middle of the water tank 4 can promote the circulation of hot water in the pipeline 8, and ensure that the temperature is uniformly distributed around the fermentation tank 9.

[0035] When the driving motor 19 is started, the rotating shaft 21 is rotated. The stirring blades 14 and the stirring rollers 13 on the rotating shaft 21 are rotated, and the raw materials in the fermentation tank 9 are stirred. The stirring blades 14 can mix and turn the raw materials in the horizontal direction, and the stirring rollers 13 can help to break the agglomeration of the raw materials, so that the raw materials are more loose, and the mixing effect is further improved. With the rotation of the rotating shaft 21, the scraper 11 closely contacts the inner wall of the fermentation tank 9 and rotates, and the raw materials attached to the inner wall are scraped off, so as to avoid the raw materials from scaling or accumulating on the wall of the tank, ensure that the raw materials fully participate in the fermentation process, and also help the heat to be uniformly transmitted in the tank. The scraper 12 rotates in the fermentation tank 9, and is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 21, so as to turn the raw materials at the bottom of the tank, prevent the raw materials from accumulating at the bottom of the tank, cause incomplete fermentation, make the raw materials at the bottom of the tank also mix uniformly with other raw materials, and promote the consistency of the fermentation of the raw materials in the whole fermentation tank 9. When the fermentation is completed, the handle 6 is rotated, the handle 6 drives the connecting block 17, the connecting block 17 in turn drives the baffle 16 to rotate in the discharge port 15, so as to open the discharge port 15, and the fermented fragrant vinegar can be discharged from the discharge port 15.
