[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] A fermentation device for vinegar processing includes a fermentation tank 1, a tank lid 2, a fixed base plate 3, and a support rod 4. The support rod 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The support rod 4 is connected to the fermentation tank 1 and the fixed base plate 3 by welding. The fixed base plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 4. The fixed base plate 3 and the support rod 4 can stably support and fix the fermentation tank 1. The tank lid 2 is installed on the upper surface of the fermentation tank 1. The tank lid 2 is a detachable structure. The detachable structure of the tank lid 2 can not only seal the top opening of the fermentation tank 1, but also facilitate the maintenance of the internal structure of the fermentation tank 1 by the staff after disassembly. The lower side of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 is higher on the left and lower on the right. The lower side of the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 is higher on the left and lower on the right, which facilitates the concentrated flow of the vinegar raw material liquid into the discharge valve 11.

[0027] A discharge valve 11 is installed on the lower right side of the fermentation tank 1. The outlet of the discharge valve 11 is connected to the inlet of an external vinegar raw material storage tank via a pipe. The discharge valve 11 facilitates the discharge of the fermented vinegar raw material inside the fermentation tank 1. A feed valve 13 is installed on the upper right side of the fermentation tank 1. The inlet of the feed valve 13 is connected to the outlet of an external vinegar raw material storage tank via a pipe. The feed valve 13 facilitates the replenishment of the vinegar raw material to be fermented into the fermentation tank 1 by the staff. An observation window 12 is provided on the upper front side of the fermentation tank 1. The observation window 12 facilitates the staff to observe the internal condition of the fermentation tank 1 in real time. An agitation component is installed inside the fermentation tank 1 to agitate the vinegar processing raw material inside the fermentation tank 1, thereby accelerating the fermentation efficiency of the vinegar raw material. A heating component is installed inside the agitation component to enable the agitation component to heat, thereby further improving the fermentation efficiency of the vinegar raw material inside the fermentation tank 1.

[0028] The agitation assembly includes a low-speed motor 51, a transmission rod 52, an agitating crossbar 53, a connecting rod 55, a scraper 56, and a follower plate 57. The low-speed motor 51 is installed at the middle of the upper surface of the fixed base plate 3. The low-speed motor 51 is connected to an external control switch via wires. When working, the low-speed motor 51 can drive the transmission rod 52 to rotate at a low speed. The transmission rod 52 is installed at the upper end of the low-speed motor 51. The transmission rod 52 is connected to the agitating crossbar 53 and the connecting rod 55 by welding. The transmission rod 52 can support the agitating crossbar 53 and the connecting rod 55. The agitating crossbar 53 is provided on the right side of the annular side of the transmission rod 52. The agitating crossbar 53 is connected to the agitating vertical rod 54 by welding. The agitating crossbar 53 can agitate the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1. The connecting rod 55 is provided on the left side of the annular side of the transmission rod 52. The connecting rod 55 can support the follower plate 57.

[0029] A follower plate 57 is installed on the left end of the connecting rod 55. The follower plate 57 is concave in shape and can support and limit the scraper 56. The follower plate 57 is a separately detachable structure, which facilitates future replacement. A scraper 56 is installed on the left end face of the follower plate 57. The scraper 56 is made of high tear-resistant silicone rubber. When the scraper 56 is made of high tear-resistant silicone rubber, it can scrape off most of the residue adhering to the annular side inside the fermenter 1 when it makes a circular motion. The scraper 56 is separately detachable. The structure features a detachable scraper 56 for easy replacement later. Agitator rods 54 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the annular side of the agitator rod 53, increasing the agitation range of the agitator rod 53. A mechanical seal 521 is installed on the lower side of the annular side of the transmission rod 52, matching the transmission rod 52. The mechanical seal 521 improves the sealing between the transmission rod 52 and the fermentation tank 1, preventing the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1 from overflowing to the outside through the gap between the transmission rod 52 and the fermentation tank 1.

[0030] Example 2:

[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, by starting the industrial electric hot air blower 62, hot air is blown into the air chamber 64 through the air outlet pipe 63. The hot air then passes through the air guide branch chamber 67, the one-way valve 66, and the jet nozzle 65 in sequence and is discharged downwards to heat and ferment the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1. Furthermore, since the stirring bar 53 rotates and drives the jet nozzle 65 to rotate together through the one-way valve 66, the hot air sprayed downwards from the jet nozzle 65 can fully heat the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency of the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1.

[0032] The heating assembly includes an industrial electric hot air blower 62, an air outlet pipe 63, an air guide chamber 64, a jet nozzle 65, a one-way valve 66, and an air guide branch chamber 67. An air guide chamber 64 is located on the upper side of the transmission rod 52. The inner diameter of the air guide chamber 64 is the same as the outer diameter of the air outlet pipe 63. The air guide chamber 64 can draw hot air discharged from the air outlet pipe 63 into the air guide branch chamber 67. An air guide branch chamber 67 is located inside the stirring crossbar 53 and is connected to the air guide chamber 64. The air guide branch chamber 67 can guide hot air into the one-way valve 66. A one-way valve 66 is installed on the lower side of the annular side of the stirring crossbar 53. The one-way valve 66 can guide hot air from the air guide branch chamber 67 into the jet nozzle 65 while preventing the vinegar raw material liquid in the jet nozzle 65 from entering the air guide branch chamber 67. Since the detailed internal structure and working principle of the one-way valve 66 are relatively mature technologies in the prior art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] A jet nozzle 65 is installed at the lower outlet of the one-way valve 66. The jet nozzle 65 can spray hot air downwards to heat the surrounding vinegar raw material liquid. An industrial electric hot air blower (62) is installed on the upper surface of the tank lid 2. The industrial electric hot air blower (62) is connected to an external control switch through a wire. When the industrial electric hot air blower (62) is working, it can blow hot air of the required temperature into the air outlet pipe 63. Since the detailed internal structure and working principle of the industrial electric hot air blower (62) are relatively mature technologies in the prior art, they will not be described in detail here. An air filter plate is installed at the air inlet end of the right side of the industrial electric hot air blower (62). Figure 1 (As shown in the drawing), the air filter screen can filter and remove dust from the air entering the industrial electric hot air blower (62). An air outlet pipe 63 is installed at the air outlet end of the industrial electric hot air blower (62). The air outlet pipe 63 can guide the hot air discharged by the industrial electric hot air blower (62) into the air guide chamber 64. A sealing ring 68 is embedded on the upper end face of the transmission rod 52, and the sealing ring 68 matches the air outlet pipe 63. The sealing ring 68 makes the air outlet pipe 63 and the air guide chamber 64 more airtight. An exhaust valve 61 is installed on the right side of the upper end face of the tank cover 2. When the exhaust valve 61 is opened, it is convenient for the air inside the fermentation tank 1 to be discharged to the outside.

[0034] Working Principle: During the vinegar processing, the operator first opens the feed valve 13 to introduce an appropriate amount of vinegar raw material liquid into the fermentation tank 1. During this process, the liquid level of the vinegar raw material liquid entering the fermentation tank 1 must not exceed the height of the feed valve 13. Then, the low-speed motor 51 is started, which drives the stirring crossbar 53 and connecting rod 55 to rotate at low speed via the transmission rod 52. During this process, the stirring crossbar 53 drives the stirring vertical rod 54 to rotate at low speed, stirring the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1. Meanwhile, the connecting rod 55 drives the scraper 56 to rotate in a circular motion via the follower plate 57, thereby scraping off most of the residue on the annular side of the fermentation tank 1 in real time. The scraped residue is discharged along with the vinegar raw material liquid during discharge. Simultaneously, the industrial electric hot air blower 62 is started, operating at the set temperature. During this process, the industrial... The electric hot air blower 62 blows hot air into the air chamber 64 through the air outlet 63. The air chamber 64 then guides the hot air into the air guide branch chamber 67. The hot air then passes through the one-way valve 66 and the jet nozzle 65 and is discharged downwards, thereby heating and fermenting the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1. Excess air inside the fermentation tank 1 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust valve 61 to prevent the air pressure inside the fermentation tank 1 from gradually increasing. Since the stirring bar 53 rotates and drives the jet nozzle 65 to rotate together through the one-way valve 66, the hot air sprayed downwards from the jet nozzle 65 will fully heat the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency of the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1. After the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1 has finished fermenting, the operator first turns off the low-speed motor 51 and the industrial electric hot air blower 62, and then opens the discharge valve 11 to discharge the vinegar raw material liquid inside the fermentation tank 1.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
