Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model provides a vinegar mash turning device: It includes a base 1, a fermentation tank 2 and a movable frame 3 on the top of the base 1. The top of the fermentation tank 2 has a slot 4, and a cleaning plate 5 is rotatably connected inside the slot 4. An externally threaded sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the movable frame 3. An annular cylinder 7 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the externally threaded sleeve 6. The annular cylinder 7 movably passes through the cleaning plate 5 and the support frame 13. Two connecting slots 8 are formed through the annular cylinder 7. An arc-shaped plate 9 is rotatably connected inside each of the two connecting slots 8. A sliding groove 17 is formed on the arc-shaped plate 9, and a slider 18 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 17. Several stirring frames 10 are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped plate 9. Several springs 11 are fixedly connected inside the stirring frames 10. A stirring plate 12 is fixedly connected to the other end of each spring 11. The sliding connection is inside the stirring frame 10. The moving frame 3 is equipped with a rotating component and a pushing component. The two arc-shaped plates 9 are arranged in a circumferential array, so that the corresponding stirring frame 10 and stirring plate 12 will not abut against each other. Through the arrangement of the base 1, fermentation tank 2, moving frame 3, slot 4, cleaning plate 5, arc-shaped plate 9 and stirring plate 12, after the annular cylinder 7 is inserted into the fermentation tank 2, the two arc-shaped plates 9 can be unfolded, so that the stirring plate 12 can be moved out from the corresponding stirring frame 10 for stirring. It is not necessary to fully open the top of the fermentation tank 2. This can effectively prevent other foreign objects from falling into the fermentation tank 2 during the vinegar mash process and affecting the overall quality of the vinegar. At the same time, during the stirring process, some vinegar may splash out from the fermentation tank 2 due to stirring, causing the working environment to be contaminated.

[0032] A support frame 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the movable frame 3. The rotating assembly includes a gear ring 14, a motor 15, and a gear 16. The gear ring 14 is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the annular cylinder 7. The gear ring 14 is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 13. The motor 15 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 13. The gear 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 15. The gear ring 14 and the gear 16 mesh. Through the setting of the rotating assembly, the annular cylinder 7 and the stirring plate 12 can be driven to rotate to carry out the vinegar mash turning work.

[0033] The pushing assembly includes an electric push rod 19 fixedly installed on the top of the movable frame 3. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 19 is rotatably connected to a push plate 20. The bottom of the push plate 20 is rotatably connected to two connecting rods 21. The other end of the connecting rods 21 is rotatably connected to the slider 18. The push plate 20 is located inside the annular cylinder 7. By setting the pushing assembly, the two arc-shaped plates 9 can be rotated to the opposite side and unfolded, thereby unfolding several stirring plates 12 for stirring.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, after the annular cylinder 7 is inserted into the fermentation tank 2, the electric push rod 19 is activated, which extends its telescopic end and drives the push plate 20 to move down. The push plate 20 drives the two connecting rods 21 to move down synchronously. The connecting rods 21 drive the slider 18, which is rotatably connected to them, to move down synchronously, so that the slider 18 slides inside the slide groove 17. At the same time, under the elastic force of several springs 11, the two arc plates 9 rotate and unfold. During the unfolding process, under the elastic force of the springs 11, the stirring plate 12 slides out from inside the stirring frame 10, increasing the stirring area.

[0035] After all the stirring plates 12 are unfolded, the motor 15 is started, which drives the gear 16 to rotate. The gear 16 drives the meshing gear ring 14 to rotate, and the gear 16 drives the annular cylinder 7 to rotate synchronously. With the cooperation of the fixedly installed external threaded sleeve 6, the annular cylinder 7 drives the arc plate 9 and the stirring plates 12 to move up and down synchronously. With the continuous forward and reverse action of the motor 15, the stirring plates 12 move up and down continuously while rotating against the vinegar mash, thereby improving the efficiency and effect of stirring.

[0036] Once the vinegar mash inside the fermentation tank 2 has been stirred, the electric push rod 19 can be restarted to retract its telescopic end, thereby causing the two arc-shaped plates 9 to rotate and reset. During the reset process, the stirring plate 12 is squeezed and slides into the corresponding stirring frame 10. Subsequently, with the cooperation of the motor 15, the upward-moving annular cylinder 7 continues to move upward, removing it from the inside of the fermentation tank 2, thus completing the vinegar mash turning process.

[0037] 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. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
