Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fermentation vats for distiller's grains, in particular to an automatic unloading device for a fermentation vat. Background Technique
[0002] The basic principle of Baijiu brewing is based on ecology, and the transformation from grain raw materials to liquor is achieved through human skills. Fermentation is an important link in the brewing process. In the fermentation process, microorganisms play a key role. Fermentation in Baijiu brewing refers to the process of converting starch in grains into alcohol, mainly including two stages: saccharification and alcoholization. According to different fermentation processes, there are forms such as cellar fermentation and fermentation vat fermentation. For example, the fermentation link in the brewing of the Taorongxiang process is carried out in pottery jars. After the fermentation in the fermentation vat is completed, unloading is required, which is to pour out the distiller's grains in the fermentation vat. At present, the unloading process of the fermentation vat mainly uses lifting equipment such as a crane to lift the fermentation vat and then pour out the distiller's grains inside. The entire lifting process requires manual operations such as unhooking, which has certain safety hazards, high labor intensity, and low unloading efficiency.
[0003] To further understand the prior art, after retrieval, in the prior art, Chinese Patent CN220317739U discloses a fermentation vat that is convenient for transportation and unloading. During unloading, the operator needs to control the crane to come directly above the fermentation vat, hook the hanging transfer arm with the hook, and then start lifting. Align the bottom of the fermentation vat with the receiving port of the next process, and the user can manually control the push rod to control the opening and closing of the feeding pipe gate. When the feeding pipe gate is opened, the material will fall along the feeding pipe under the action of gravity and be emptied. Then, close the feeding pipe gate.
[0004] Through analysis, it can be seen that the above patent also realizes the unloading of the fermentation vat by the operator cooperating with the crane during unloading. Therefore, it also has the problems of safety hazards, high labor intensity, and low unloading efficiency as mentioned above. Content of the Utility Model

[0051] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-14 The present invention will be further described below.
[0052] Example 1
[0053] In view of the technical problems existing in the background art, the present invention provides an automatic unloading device for fermentation tanks.
[0054] In the specific technical solution, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic unloading device for the fermentation tank includes a truss 1, an automatic clamping assembly 2, a tilting assembly 3, a lifting assembly 4, and a lateral movement assembly 5.
[0055] The automatic clamping assembly 2 is arranged on the truss 1 and is used to automatically clamp the fermentation tank 10 that is conveyed into the truss 1. The tilting assembly 3 is arranged on the automatic clamping assembly 2 and is used to drive the fermentation tank 10 to rotate vertically and tilt the material. The lifting assembly 4 is arranged on the truss 1 and is connected to the automatic clamping assembly 2. It is used to drive the automatic clamping assembly 2 to move vertically. The lateral movement assembly 5 is arranged on the truss 1 and is connected to the lifting assembly 4. It is used to drive the lifting assembly 4 and the automatic clamping assembly 2 to move synchronously in the horizontal direction.
[0056] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 The automatic clamping assembly 2 includes a tilting frame 201 arranged in a ring around the outside of the fermentation tank 10, as shown in the figure. Figure 11Several first power mechanisms 202 are arranged at intervals on the flipping frame 201. The first power mechanism 202 is a cylinder. A connecting rod 203 is provided on the side of the first power mechanism 202. One end of the connecting rod 203 is hinged to the flipping frame 201, and the other end of the connecting rod 203 is hinged to a clamping plate 204. The fixed end of the first power mechanism 202 is connected to the flipping frame 201, and the movable end of the first power mechanism 202 is hinged to a support rod 205. The support rod 205 is hinged to the lower middle part of the connecting rod 203. The first power mechanism 202 can drive the clamping plate 204 to move toward the fermentation tank 10 inside the flipping frame 201 through the support rod 205 and the connecting rod 203. Working principle: The first power mechanism 202 extends, driving the end of the support rod 205 connected to the first power mechanism to move downward, while the end of the support rod 205 connected to the connecting rod 203 moves upward, thereby driving the clamping plate 204 to move towards the inside of the flipping frame 201 along with the bottom of the connecting rod 203, that is, to move in the direction of the fermentation tank 10, and finally completing the clamping and fixing of the fermentation tank 10.
[0057] To limit the position of the top of the fermentation tank 10 and prevent it from falling off the top of the tilting frame 201, refer to... Figure 8 Therefore, a limiting plate 206 is arranged in a ring above the flipping frame 201. The limiting plate 206 is connected to the flipping frame 201 through a connecting plate 207. The inner side of the connecting plate 207 is an arc shape that matches the shape of the fermentation tank 10. The diameter of the limiting plate 206 is smaller than the diameter of the flipping frame 201.
[0058] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The flipping assembly 3 includes a second power mechanism 301 arranged on the lifting assembly 4. The second power mechanism 301 is a geared motor. The output end of the second power mechanism 301 is connected to a first rotating shaft 302. The second power mechanism 301 is connected to the flipping frame 201 through the first rotating shaft 302. A second rotating shaft 303 connected to the flipping frame 201 is arranged on the opposite side of the second power mechanism 301. The first rotating shaft 302 and the second rotating shaft 303 are arranged concentrically. A first bearing seat 304 is provided on the first rotating shaft 302, and a second bearing seat 305 is provided on the second rotating shaft 303. Working principle: The second power mechanism 301 drives the flipping frame 201 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 302. Since the flipping frame 201 is fixed to the fermentation tank 10 through the automatic clamping assembly 2, the fermentation tank 10 rotates synchronously with the flipping frame 201. When the opening of the fermentation tank 10 rotates to tilt downwards, the lees inside fall out automatically under the action of gravity, completing the unloading.
[0059] Specifically, refer to Figure 4The lifting assembly 4 includes a lifting bracket 401 arranged horizontally on the truss 1. Lifting columns 402 and a third power mechanism 403 are vertically arranged at both ends of the lifting bracket 401. The third power mechanism 403 uses a geared motor. A first rack 404 is provided on the lifting column 402. A first gear (not shown in the figure) matching the first rack 404 is provided at the output end of the third power mechanism 403. The third power mechanism 403 is meshed with the first rack 404 through the first gear. The second power mechanism 301 and the second bearing seat 305 are arranged at the bottom of the lifting column 402. Working principle: The third power mechanism 403 drives the first gear to rotate. Since the first gear is meshed with the first rack 404, the first gear can drive the lifting column 402 to rise and fall during rotation, thereby driving the tilting assembly 3 and the automatic clamping assembly 2 connected to the lifting column 402 to rise and fall synchronously.
[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 The lateral movement component 5 includes second racks 501 arranged on both sides of the top of the truss 1. A fourth power mechanism 502 is provided on the lifting bracket 401. The fourth power mechanism 502 is a geared motor. The output end of the fourth power mechanism 502 is connected to a drive shaft 503. The two ends of the drive shaft 503 are provided with second gears 504 that match the second racks 501. The fourth power mechanism 502 is sequentially connected to the second racks 501 through the drive shaft 503 and the second gears 504. Working principle: The fourth power mechanism 502 drives the drive shaft 503 to rotate, and the drive shaft 503 drives the second gears 504 on it to rotate synchronously. Since the second racks 501 are arranged on the truss 1, the second gears 504 can drive the lifting bracket 401 to move horizontally on the truss 1 during rotation.
[0061] Unloading steps: 1. The AGV trolley transports the fermentation tank 10 into the truss 1. The lifting assembly 4 and the lateral movement assembly 5 drive the automatic clamping assembly 2 to clamp and fix the fermentation tank 10. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 At this point, the fermentation tank is clamped; secondly, the lifting assembly 4 and the lateral moving assembly 5 drive the fermentation tank 10 to move above the feeder 601; thirdly, the tilting assembly 3 drives the fermentation tank 10 to rotate vertically until the opening of the fermentation tank 10 tilts downwards, and the lees inside the fermentation tank 10 flow naturally into the feeder 601 below under the action of gravity, completing the unloading. (Refer to...) Figure 4 and Figure 5 This is the state of discharging material from the fermentation tank.
[0062] As can be seen from the above structure and working principle, compared with the traditional method of unloading fermentation tanks by operators and cranes, this utility model can automatically complete the unloading operation of fermentation tanks without the need for operators, reducing labor intensity, eliminating safety hazards, and improving unloading efficiency.
[0063] Example 2
[0064] In order to detect whether there are still lees left in the fermentation tank 10 after unloading, this embodiment is further provided with an automatic detection component 6 based on the first embodiment. A feeder 601 for receiving materials in the fermentation tank 10 is provided on one side of the truss 1. The automatic detection component 6 is arranged on the truss 1 above the feeder 601. The automatic detection component 6 is used to detect whether there are residual materials on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10 after the materials are poured out. The feeder is a prior art device, and its structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0065] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 The automatic detection component 6 includes a fifth power mechanism 602 mounted on the truss 1. The fifth power mechanism 602 is a cylinder. The fixed end of the fifth power mechanism 602 is connected to the truss 1, and the movable end of the fifth power mechanism 602 is connected to a detection plate 603. The detection plate 603 is equipped with a light source 604 and a camera 605. The fifth power mechanism 602 can drive the detection plate 603 to move up and down vertically.
[0066] After the fermentation tank 10 has finished emptying the material, the tilting component 3 drives the fermentation tank 10 to a horizontal position, with the opening of the fermentation tank 10 facing the automatic detection component 6. The fifth power mechanism 602 drives the camera 605 to descend to the opening of the fermentation tank 10, and the camera 605 takes pictures of the inside of the fermentation tank 10.
[0067] As can be seen from the above structure and working principle, the automatic detection component of this utility model can automatically detect whether there is residual lees in the fermentation tank after unloading, thereby guiding the next process.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] To automatically scrape away the residual lees adsorbed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10, this embodiment, based on Embodiment 2, also includes an automatic scraping component 7 and a fermentation tank rotation component 8. The automatic scraping component 7 is used to automatically scrape off the material remaining on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10. When the automatic detection component 6 detects that there is material residue in the fermentation tank 10, the automatic scraping component 7 is activated; when the automatic detection component 6 detects that there is no material residue in the fermentation tank 10, the automatic scraping component 7 is not activated.
[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14The automatic scraping assembly 7 includes a scraping bracket 701 located below the automatic detection assembly 6. The scraping bracket 701 is connected to the truss 1. A sixth power mechanism 702 and a scraping plate are horizontally arranged on the scraping bracket 701. The sixth power mechanism 702 is a cylinder. The fixed end of the sixth power mechanism 702 is connected to the scraping bracket 701, and the movable end of the sixth power mechanism 702 is connected to the scraping plate. The sixth power mechanism 702 can drive the scraping plate to extend into the interior of the fermentation tank 10. The top of the scraping plate is an arc shape that matches the shape of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10.
[0071] Reference Figure 10 The fermentation tank rotation assembly 8 includes a slewing bearing 801 located inside the tilting frame 201. A seventh power mechanism 802, which is a geared motor, is mounted on the tilting frame 201. The fixed end of the seventh power mechanism 802 is connected to the tilting frame 201, and the output end of the seventh power mechanism 802 is connected to a third gear (not shown in the figure) that matches the slewing bearing 801. The seventh power mechanism 802 can drive the fermentation tank 10 to rotate relative to the tilting frame 201. When the scraper extends into the fermentation tank 10, the fermentation tank rotation assembly 8 drives the fermentation tank 10 to rotate, and the scraper can scrape off the material remaining on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10. Working principle: The seventh power mechanism 802 drives the third gear to rotate, the third gear drives the slewing bearing 801 to rotate, and thus drives the fermentation tank 10 to rotate relative to the tilting frame 201.
[0072] To increase the scraping range of the scraper blade, refer to Figure 12 The scraper includes a base 703 and a scraper. The scraper includes a vertically arranged first scraper 704 and a horizontal second scraper 705. The first scraper 704 is used to scrape off the material remaining on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10, and the second scraper 705 is used to scrape off the material remaining at the bottom of the fermentation tank 10.
[0073] To prevent the scraper from scratching the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10, and to ensure that the two are in flexible contact, refer to... Figure 12 Therefore, in this embodiment, a first spring 706 and a second spring 707 are also provided on the base 703. The base 703 is connected to the first scraper 704 through the first spring 706, and the base 703 is connected to the second scraper 705 through the second spring 707. (Refer to...) Figure 14 In this embodiment, inclined plates 708 are also provided on both sides of the first scraper 704 to prevent material from falling onto the base 703.
[0074] The working principle of the scraping component is as follows: First, whether the automatic scraping component 7 is activated depends on the feedback from the automatic detection component 6. It is not activated all the time; it is only activated when the automatic detection component 6 detects material residue in the fermentation tank 10. Second, since the automatic scraping component 7 cannot rotate, a fermentation tank rotation component 8 is required to cooperate with it. For details, please refer to... Figure 7 The sixth power mechanism 702 drives the scraper to extend into the interior of the fermentation tank 10. The shape of the scraper matches the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10. The scraper is in close contact with the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10. The fermentation tank rotation component 8 is started, and the fermentation tank 10 rotates. During the rotation, the lees adsorbed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 10 are scraped off by the scraper, and the fermentation tank 10 is unloaded again.
[0075] As can be seen from the above structure and working principle, this utility model can automatically scrape off the residual lees adsorbed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank through the automatic scraping component, making the unloading more thorough. At the same time, it avoids the tedious steps of manual cleaning, improves the automation and intelligence of the equipment, improves cleaning efficiency, and reduces labor intensity.
[0076] Example 4
