Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product production equipment technology, and in particular to a fermentation tank lifting device. Background Technology
[0002] Fermentation tank technology typically uses aerobic or anaerobic fermentation to convert organic waste, agricultural byproducts, and other raw materials into organic fertilizer. This organic fertilizer increases the quantity and diversity of soil microorganisms, improves soil water retention and nutrient supply, enhances soil structure, and helps to enrich the soil, increase crop growth rate, and boost yield. Fermentation technology has wide applications in agricultural product processing. For example, fermentation can be used to prepare naturally fermented foods such as yogurt, soy sauce, and tofu. These foods not only have high nutritional value, but the organic acids, enzymes, and antioxidants produced during microbial fermentation can also enhance their flavor, texture, and preservation effect.
[0003] Fermentation tank technology can transform agricultural waste, such as straw, fruit peels, and vegetable leaves, into organic fertilizer or biomass energy, thereby realizing the resource utilization of waste, reducing environmental pollution, and promoting the sustainable development of agriculture.
[0004] However, existing fermenters often encounter the following problems during use: Traditional fermenters require manual opening of the lid, which carries significant safety risks. If the lid falls off or slips during operation, the heavy lid can cause injury to the operator. If the fermenter's stirring rod requires cleaning or replacement, the lid must be manually removed and tilted. These manual steps are not only laborious but also prolong maintenance cycles and impact production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a fermentation tank lifting device to effectively solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing manual opening of the lid has a high safety risk and that manually removing the lid and then tilting it will prolong the maintenance cycle.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A fermenter lifting device, comprising:
[0008] Portal frame;
[0009] The extension shell is provided in two parts, which are arranged side by side and horizontally distributed on one side of the portal frame;
[0010] The first crossbeam is disposed on one side of the top of the two extended shells;
[0011] Top drive wheel, which is sleeved on the body of the crossbeam;
[0012] The linkage housing is provided in two parts, which are distributed on both sides of the bottom of the portal frame;

[0015] A connecting chain, one end of which is sleeved on the bottom drive wheel, and the other end of which is sleeved on the top drive wheel;
[0016] The elevator housing has its two sides fixedly connected to the connecting chain;
[0017] Sliding rollers are movably mounted on both sides of the elevator housing.
[0018] Also includes:
[0019] A longitudinal slide rail, wherein the longitudinal slide rail is provided with the longitudinal support leg of the portal frame;
[0020] A transverse slide rail is provided on the two extended shells;
[0021] An arc-shaped slide rail is located at the connection between the longitudinal slide rail and the transverse slide rail;
[0022] A drive motor is located between the two linked housings;
[0023] A transmission rod is installed at the output end of the drive motor and passes through any one of the linkage housings;
[0024] The main drive wheel is mounted on one end of the drive rod;
[0025] Driven wheel, the driven wheel being sleeved on one end of the second crossbeam;
[0026] A transmission belt, one end of which is fitted onto the driven pulley, and the other end of which is fitted onto the driven pulley.
[0027] Also includes:

The transmission and guide slide rails enable automatic tilting of the fermentation tank and stirring rod, solving the problem of manual tilting or disassembly required during traditional fermentation tank maintenance. This significantly reduces labor intensity, maintenance costs, and time. Attached Figure Description

[0042] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a fermenter lifting device includes: a gantry frame 1, extension shells 2, a first crossbeam 3, a top drive wheel 4, a linkage shell 5, a second crossbeam 6, a bottom drive wheel 7, a connecting chain 8, a lifting housing 9, and sliding rollers 10. Two extension shells 2 are provided, horizontally arranged side-by-side on one side of the gantry frame 1. The extension shells 2 and the gantry frame 1 constitute the skeleton structure of the entire device, providing stable support and installation positions for other components. The extension shells 2 ensure structural stability and sufficient operating space. The first crossbeam 3 is located on one side of the top of the two extension shells 2, and the top drive wheel 4 is sleeved on the body of the crossbeam 3. Two linkage shells 5 are provided, distributed on both sides of the bottom of the gantry frame 1. The second crossbeam 6 is transversely inserted through one end of the linkage shell 5, and the bottom drive wheel 7 is sleeved on the body of the second crossbeam 6. One end of the connecting chain 8 is sleeved on the bottom drive wheel 7, and the other end of the connecting chain 8 is sleeved on the top drive wheel 4. The two sides of the elevator housing 9 are fixedly connected to the connecting chain 8, and the sliding rollers 10 are movably installed on both sides of the elevator housing 9.
[0043] Preferably, the first crossbeam 3 and the top drive wheel 4 are located above, and the second crossbeam 6 and the bottom drive wheel 7 are located below, forming a closed loop through the connecting chain 8 to achieve force transmission and motion conversion. The rotation of the bottom drive wheel 7 drives the movement of the top drive wheel 4 through the connecting chain 8, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the elevator housing 9.
[0044] In this embodiment, the longitudinal slide rail 11 is connected to the longitudinal legs of the portal frame 1, the transverse slide rail 12 is provided on the two extended shells 2, the arc-shaped slide rail 13 is located at the connection between the longitudinal slide rail 11 and the transverse slide rail 12, and the sliding roller 10 is embedded in the arc-shaped slide rail 13. The drive motor 14 is located between the two linkage shells 5, the transmission rod 15 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 14, and the transmission rod 15 passes through either linkage shell 5. The main transmission wheel 16 is installed at one end of the transmission rod 15 and is located in either linkage shell 5. The driven wheel 17 is sleeved on one end of the second crossbeam 6, one end of the transmission belt 18 is sleeved on the driven wheel 17, and the other end of the transmission belt 18 is sleeved on the driven wheel 17. The drive motor 14 is the power source, which transmits power to the driven wheel 17 through the transmission rod 15 and the main transmission wheel 16, thereby driving the bottom transmission wheel 7. The linkage shell 5 protects the transmission mechanism and provides support and guidance for the transmission rod 15 and the second crossbeam 6. An arc-shaped groove 19 is formed in the elevator housing 9, the tank cover 20 is installed in the arc-shaped groove 19, and the fermentation tank 21 is located below the tank cover 20.
[0045] The design of the three types of slide rails enables the elevator housing 9 to smoothly transition from vertical movement to tilting movement. The setting of the arc-shaped slide rail 13 is the key to achieving this function. It ensures that the sliding roller 10 can smoothly transfer from the longitudinal slide rail 11 to the transverse slide rail 12, thereby achieving the tilting of the fermentation tank 21.
[0046] It should be noted that, in use, the fermentation tank lifting device designed in this utility model involves starting the drive motor 14. The output end of the drive motor 14 rotates, driving the transmission rod 15. The transmission rod 15 rotates, driving the main transmission wheel 16 of the rod body. The main transmission wheel 16 rotates, driving the driven wheel 17 via the transmission belt 18. The driven wheel 17 rotates, driving the second crossbeam 6. The second crossbeam 6 rotates, driving the bottom transmission wheel 7 of the rod body. The bottom transmission wheel 7 rotates, driving the connecting chain 8. The top transmission wheel 4 is also driven and rotates accordingly. The connecting chain 8, which is currently transmitting power, will... The lifting mechanism 9 is raised or lowered. Taking raising as an example, the connecting chain 8 raises the lifting mechanism 9 and the tank lid 20. The sliding rollers 10 on both sides of the lifting mechanism 9 are also moved accordingly. The sliding rollers 10 slide on the longitudinal slide rail 11. After the sliding rollers 10 reach the transverse slide rail 12 via the arc slide rail 13, the lifting mechanism 9 will tilt, which in turn will cause the tank lid 20 to tilt. If there is a maintenance problem with the stirring rod of the fermentation tank 21, and the lifting mechanism 9 continues to rise, the horizontal height of the other end of the lifting mechanism 9 will remain unchanged as one end rises, resulting in tilting. The tilted tank lid 20 will also cause the stirring rod to tilt, facilitating subsequent cleaning or disassembly maintenance of the stirring rod.
