[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a self-cleaning yeast fermentation tank, including a tank body 1, a heating base 2, a rinsing mechanism 6, and a tank cover 4; a heating base 2 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1 for heating the tank body 1, a fermentation chamber 5 is provided inside the tank body 1, a rinsing mechanism 6 for rinsing the fermentation chamber 5 is provided at the top of the fermentation chamber 5, the rinsing mechanism 6 includes an arc-shaped rinsing pipe 23, a tank cover 4 for sealing the tank body 1 is provided at the top of the tank body 1, a semi-circular feed inlet 17 is provided on one side of the surface of the tank cover 4, and a semi-circular sealing cap 18 is provided at the semi-circular feed inlet 17.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment, a control panel 10 is installed on the surface of the tank lid 4 away from the semi-circular feed inlet 17. A first status warning light 12 and a second status warning light 13 are symmetrically arranged between the control panel 10 and the semi-circular feed inlet 17. A humidity probe 15 is located below the first status warning light 12, extending into the fermentation chamber 5. A temperature probe 14 is located below the second status warning light 13, extending into the fermentation chamber 5. The temperature probe 14 and humidity probe 15 are electrically connected to the control panel 10. The combination of the humidity probe 15 and temperature probe 14 allows the temperature probe 14 and humidity probe 15 to detect the temperature and humidity inside the fermentation chamber 5 during fermentation, providing a more suitable fermentation temperature for the fermentation broth. The first and second status warning lights then provide further information. 13. Provides fermentation status reminders. The surface of the heating base 2 is provided with a heating ring 7 corresponding to the annular heating groove 20. The heating base 2 is equipped with a pressure sensor (pressure sensor model KY-200). The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control panel 10. The outer side of the heating base 2 is provided with a column 3. The side of the column 3 away from the tank 1 is provided with a battery slot 8. The battery slot 8 is equipped with a battery pack 9. By combining the heating ring 7 with the annular heating groove 20, the heating ring works and generates heat during fermentation. The heat is transferred to the fermentation chamber 5 through the annular heating groove 20 to maintain the fermentation temperature of the fermentation liquid. After the fermentation liquid in the fermentation chamber 5 is discharged, its weight changes, which changes the pressure on the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor sends a signal to the control panel 10. The control panel 10 controls the rinsing mechanism 6 to automatically clean the fermentation chamber 5.

[0024] Please see Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, a cable is provided between the battery pack 9 and the control panel 10, and the battery pack 9 and the control panel 10 are electrically connected by the cable. A movable connecting sleeve 19 is provided between the semi-circular sealing cover 18 and the semi-circular feed inlet 17. The semi-circular sealing cover 18 and the semi-circular feed inlet 17 are connected by the movable connecting sleeve 19. Through the movable connecting sleeve 19, when the material is fed, the operator can open the semi-circular sealing cover 18 through the movable connecting sleeve 19, so that the fermentation liquid raw material is poured from the semi-circular feed inlet 17 of the tank cover 4 into the fermentation chamber 5 of the tank body 1 for fermentation. An annular heating groove 20 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1. A discharge pipe 21 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the tank body 1. A discharge valve 22 is provided inside the discharge pipe 21. A valve switch matching the discharge valve is provided at the outer end of the discharge pipe 21. Through the combination of the discharge pipe 21 and the discharge valve 22, after the fermentation is completed, the operator can turn the valve switch to open the discharge valve 22 of the discharge pipe 21, so as to discharge the fermented liquid.

[0025] Please see Figures 3-5In this embodiment, the lower end of the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23 is provided with multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 24, which are arranged around the lower end of the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23. One end of the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23 is provided with a water inlet pipe 25, the lower end of which is connected to the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23. The upper end of the water inlet pipe 25 passes through the tank cover 4 and extends to the top of the tank body 1. The surface of the tank cover 4 is provided with a water inlet hole 16 corresponding to the water inlet pipe 25. A sealing sleeve 11 is provided above the water inlet hole 16. An electromagnetic inlet is installed at the upper end of the water inlet pipe 25. Valve 26, combined with the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23 and the water inlet pipe 25, allows the operator to connect the upper end of the water inlet pipe 25 to an external water supply device. When the pressure sensor transmits the pressure change to the control panel 10, the control panel 10 controls the solenoid valve 26 to open, allowing water to flow into the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23 along the water inlet pipe 25. Multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 24 at the lower end of the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23 spray water out, allowing the water to flush along the inner wall of the fermenter. The flushed wastewater is discharged outward along the discharge pipe 21.

[0026] During operation, the staff first opens the semi-circular sealing cap 18 through the movable connecting sleeve 19, thereby pouring the fermentation liquid raw material from the semi-circular feed port 17 of the tank cap 4 into the fermentation chamber 5 of the tank body 1 for fermentation. Then, the electric heating coil works to generate heat, and the heat is transferred to the fermentation chamber 5 through the annular heating tank 20 to maintain the fermentation temperature of the fermentation liquid.

[0027] During the fermentation process, temperature probe 14 and humidity probe 15 can detect the temperature and humidity in the fermentation chamber 5 respectively, so as to provide a more suitable fermentation temperature for the fermentation liquid, and provide reminders of the fermentation status through two sets of status warning lights.

[0028] After fermentation is complete, the operator can turn the valve switch to open the discharge valve 22 of the discharge pipe 21, thereby discharging the fermented liquid. After the fermented liquid is discharged, its weight changes, which in turn changes the pressure on the pressure sensor, causing the pressure sensor to send a signal to the control panel 10.

[0029] When the pressure sensor transmits the pressure change to the control panel 10, the control panel 10 controls the solenoid valve 26 to open, so that the water flows into the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23 through the water inlet pipe 25. The multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 24 at the lower end of the arc-shaped flushing pipe 23 spray water out, so that the water flows along the inner wall of the fermenter to flush. The flushed wastewater is discharged out through the discharge pipe 21.

[0030] Through the above steps, this application combines the tank body 1, heating seat 2, rinsing mechanism 6, and tank cover 4, so that during yeast fermentation, the operator opens the semi-circular sealing cover 18 and pours the fermentation liquid raw material from the semi-circular feed port 17 of the tank cover 4 into the fermentation chamber 5 of the tank body 1. Then, the heating seat 2 heats the tank body 1 to maintain a suitable fermentation temperature. After fermentation is completed, the rinsing mechanism 6 rinses the fermentation chamber 5, shortening the cleaning cycle of the fermentation tank and thus improving the production efficiency of the fermentation liquid.
