[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of a pressurizing mechanism for fermentation tank production, including a support frame 2. Wheels 1 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 2, allowing the pressurizing mechanism to be easily moved and its position adjusted, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the equipment. A fermentation tank 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2. The fermentation tank 3 is used to contain fermentation materials and withstands a certain pressure during production, supporting pressurization operations. A feeding port 4 is provided on the top of the fermentation tank 3, facilitating the addition of raw materials or additives, ensuring unimpeded material addition during production. An exhaust assembly is provided on the side wall of the fermentation tank 3, used to discharge excess gas inside the tank to prevent excessive pressure caused by gas accumulation, which could affect the fermentation process or equipment safety. The exhaust assembly includes a first exhaust pipe 5 and a piston 11. The first exhaust pipe 5 provides a passage for exhaust, ensuring that gas can be smoothly discharged from the fermentation tank 3. One end of the first exhaust pipe 5... Fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fermentation tank 3, the exhaust pipe can effectively withstand the gas pressure fluctuations during the fermentation process. The piston 11 is slidably connected inside the first exhaust pipe 5. The sliding of the piston 11 can precisely control the gas emission, ensuring a smooth and controllable exhaust process. A second exhaust pipe 10 is provided at the top of the first exhaust pipe 5. The second exhaust pipe 10 is connected to the first exhaust pipe 5 to form a gas emission system, further optimizing the smoothness and stability of gas emission. A threaded column 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston 11. The threaded column 9 is connected to the inner wall of the first exhaust pipe 5 through a threaded structure, ensuring that the piston 11 can move smoothly along the axial direction of the exhaust pipe 5, thereby controlling the exhaust volume. A handle 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded column 9. The handle 8 is used to manually operate the threaded column 9, making it convenient for users to adjust the position of the piston 11 according to actual needs, thereby controlling the speed and amount of gas emission. The design of the handle 8 makes operation simpler and allows for flexible adjustment of gas pressure changes during the exhaust process.
[0025] Specifically, during the fermentation process, if it is necessary to release the gas pressure inside the tank, the venting operation is initiated by turning the handle 8. The rotation of the handle 8 causes the threaded column 9 to rotate along the threads inside the first vent pipe 5, thereby causing the threaded column 9 to move longitudinally. As the threaded column 9 moves, it in turn causes the internal piston 11 to slide in the first vent pipe 5. When the piston 11 moves to the side close to the second vent pipe 10, the excess gas in the tank begins to flow from the first vent pipe 5 to the second vent pipe 10. At this time, the displacement of the piston 11 precisely controls the speed and flow rate of the gas flow. Specifically, the contact area between the piston 11 and the second vent pipe 10 determines the gas discharge flow rate. By adjusting this contact area, the operator can flexibly control the gas release speed inside the tank, thereby ensuring that the gas pressure is effectively regulated and released, avoiding the adverse effects of excessive internal pressure on the equipment or fermentation process. This process not only ensures the smooth discharge of gas, but also effectively controls the efficiency of gas release, achieving the purpose of precise operation.
[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The replacement components include a support plate 6 and a U-shaped block 14. The support plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fermentation tank 3 on one side. The support plate 6 provides stable support, ensuring that the hydraulic cylinder 13 and other connecting components remain in a fixed position during operation, thus enhancing the overall structural stability. A hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support plate 6. The hydraulic cylinder 13 drives the movement of the U-shaped block 14, enabling the disassembly and installation of the pressure tank 7. One side of the U-shaped block 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13. The connection between the U-shaped block 14 and the hydraulic cylinder 13 allows the pushing and pulling force of the hydraulic cylinder 13 to be directly transmitted to the U-shaped block 14, thereby locking and releasing the pressure tank 7. A sliding column 19 is slidably connected inside the U-shaped block 14. The sliding column 19 moves freely inside the U-shaped block 14 by sliding, ensuring smooth position adjustment during replacement and preventing jamming or instability. An H-shaped frame 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding column 19. The H-shaped frame 15 is fixedly connected to the sliding column 19. A stable support structure is formed to ensure that the entire component will not be excessively displaced during operation. The H-shaped frame 15 is rotatably connected to a fixed column 16. The fixed column 16 is rotatably connected to the H-shaped frame 15, providing a fine-tuning function during replacement. This allows the position to be adjusted as needed when replacing the pressure tank 7, ensuring precise alignment. The bottom of the fixed column 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 6. The connection between the fixed column 16 and the support plate 6 ensures the stability of the entire structure, ensuring that the H-shaped frame 15 can work stably and preventing displacement of other components. A connecting block 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the H-shaped frame 15. The connecting block 17 is used to connect and fix the clamping block 18. Through this connection method, the H-shaped frame 15 and the clamping block 18 can be firmly connected together to form a clamping force, effectively fixing the pressure tank 7. A clamping block 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 17. The function of the clamping block 18 is to clamp the pressure tank 7, ensuring that the pressure tank 7 does not shift or fall during the entire replacement process. The clamping block 18 is equipped with a pressure tank 7. The inner wall of the clamping block 18 is tightly fitted with the outer wall of the pressure tank 7 to ensure that the pressure tank 7 is stably fixed during replacement and to prevent the pressure tank 7 from loosening or being damaged due to vibration or improper operation. The outer wall of the pressure tank 7 is fitted with the inner side of the clamping block 18 to form a firm clamping structure, ensuring that the pressure tank 7 will not be displaced or fall off due to external forces during operation.
[0027] Specifically, in actual operation, firstly, the hydraulic cylinder 13 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13 drives the U-shaped block 14 to move back and forth. The movement of the U-shaped block 14 is connected to the sliding column 19 inside it, causing the sliding column 19 to also move. The movement of the sliding column 19 then causes the H-shaped frame 15 to move along the fixed column 16. Since the fixed column 16 is firmly fixed on the support plate 6, the H-shaped frame 15 undergoes a certain offset and rotation under the guidance of the fixed column 16. The offset of the H-shaped frame 15 causes the connecting block 17 to move accordingly, causing the connecting block 17 to move in the same direction. The movement of the connecting block 17 further drives the clamping block 18 to move synchronously with the connecting block 17 and the H-shaped frame 15, thereby realizing the clamping and releasing of the pressure tank 7 by the clamping block 18. When the clamping block 18 clamps the pressure tank 7, the entire pressure tank 7 is fixed in the appropriate position to ensure the stability and safety of the gas pressurization process. When the clamping block 18 is released, the pressure tank 7 can be easily removed from the device, making it easy to replace different pressure tanks 7 to adapt to different gas pressure requirements. After the replacement is completed, the user can transport the required gas into the fermentation tank 3 through the air inlet pipe 12.
[0028] Working Principle: When different pressures need to be applied to the fermentation tank during production, this is achieved by changing different pressure tanks 7. First, the hydraulic cylinder 13 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 13 drives the U-shaped block 14 to move. When the U-shaped block 14 moves back and forth, it drives the sliding column 19 inside to move. The movement of the sliding column 19 causes the H-shaped frame 15 to shift. Since the fixed column 16 is fixed to the support plate 6, the H-shaped frame 15 shifts and rotates on the fixed column 16. The shift of the H-shaped frame 15 causes the connecting block 17 to move and shift. The shift of the connecting block 17 simultaneously causes the clamping block 18 to move and shift synchronously with the connecting block 17 and the H-shaped frame 15. At this time, by clamping and releasing the pressure tank 7 with the clamping block 18, the pressure tank 7 is clamped and disassembled. Ultimately, this achieves the purpose of replacing the pressurized tank 7 with different gas pressures. Then, the gas is transported into the fermentation tank 3 through the air inlet pipe 12. When it is necessary to release the gas pressure inside the tank during the fermentation process, the handle 8 is turned first. The rotation of the handle 8 drives the threaded column 9 to rotate inside the first exhaust pipe 5. The rotation of the threaded column 9 causes displacement, and the movement of the threaded column 9 drives the piston 11 to move inside the first exhaust pipe 5. When the piston 11 moves to the side of the second exhaust pipe 10, the gas pressure inside the tank flows to the second exhaust pipe 10 through the first exhaust pipe. When the piston 11 moves, the gas discharge flow rate can be controlled according to the contact area between the piston 11 and the second exhaust pipe 10. Through the above operation, the excess gas in the tank is released, and the gas release is controlled by the contact area between the piston 11 and the second exhaust pipe 10.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
