Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food testing, and more specifically, to a fermentation degree testing device for vinegar production. Background Technology

[0002] In the vinegar production process, the fermentation stage is crucial, involving the quality analysis and determination of the processing materials, mash, bran koji, and yeast, as well as the testing of characteristic indicators during the vinegar mash fermentation process, such as moisture, acidity, and saccharifying enzyme activity.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN221199637U discloses "a fermentation degree detection device for vinegar production, including a vinegar tank, a cap detachably connected to the upper end of the vinegar tank, a fixed cylinder fixedly connected inside the vinegar tank, a piston slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder, a sliding rod passing through the cap and slidably connected to the cap, a movable seat fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding rod, a support rod fixedly connected to the upper end of the cap, a circular groove on the right end face of the support rod, multiple circular grooves evenly distributed on the circumference of the support rod, the support rod passing through the movable seat and slidably connected to the support rod, a clamping component connected to the right end of the movable seat, and the clamping component cooperating with the circular groove; this utility model has a simple structure and can extract vinegar from different depths in the vinegar tank with simple operation, thus making the detection results of vinegar more universal and accurate." However, it still has the following drawbacks:

[0004] As the first inlet pipe, the retractable hose, and the second inlet pipe extend downwards, the solenoid valve is located in the middle of the second inlet pipe. At the same time, the bottom of the second inlet pipe only uses a multi-layer filter plate and is not sealed. As the second inlet pipe extends, some shallow vinegar will accumulate in the area where the filter plate is located. During sampling, the shallow vinegar will enter the fixed cylinder first, and the vinegar at the sampling location will then enter the fixed cylinder. This will result in the vinegar sample always being mixed with some shallow vinegar, leading to inaccurate vinegar detection at the sampling location.

[0005] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a fermentation degree detection device for vinegar production. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that the bottom of the second inlet pipe is not sealed, resulting in some shallow vinegar being mixed in with the sampled vinegar, leading to inaccurate vinegar detection at the sampling location.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A fermentation degree detection device for vinegar production is proposed to improve the above-mentioned problems.

[0009] The specific details of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] The device includes a vinegar jar, the top of which is fitted with a lid by bolts, and an adjustment mechanism is provided at the center of the lid.

[0011] The adjustment mechanism includes a sampling tube, a push rod, a top cap, a limiting hole, a pin, a baffle, an arc-shaped opening and closing plate, and an extraction component. The sampling tube is installed at the center of the can lid, and its upper and lower ends are straight tubes, while the middle part is a telescopic tube. The push rod is located in the sampling tube and is coaxially arranged with the sampling tube. The top cap is threaded to one end of the top of the sampling tube. The limiting hole is opened on the surface of the top cap of the push rod. The pin is inserted into the limiting hole to fix the top cap and the push rod in position. The baffle is fixedly set on the inner wall of the straight tube at the lower end of the sampling tube. The arc-shaped opening and closing plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sampling tube. When the arc-shaped opening and closing plate is closed, it forms a complete circular plate, and the arc-shaped opening and closing plate can only rotate upwards. The extraction component is set on the can lid and is connected to the bottom of the sampling tube.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the extraction component includes a water outlet, a detection box, a water pump and a connecting pipe. The water outlet is opened on the bottom side of the sampling tube. The detection box and the water pump are fixedly installed on the tank cover, and the water pump and the detection box are interconnected. The connecting pipe is connected between the water outlet and the water pump.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the side of the can lid is provided with multiple sets of fixing holes, and multiple sets of bolts are installed inside the fixing holes.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the vinegar jar is fixedly equipped with support legs, and the number of support legs is three sets, which are evenly distributed at the bottom of the vinegar jar.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the side wall of the vinegar jar is provided with an observation window, and a tempered glass plate is installed at the observation window.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, two sets of hanging ears are fixedly installed on the side wall of the vinegar jar, and the two sets of hanging ears are symmetrically installed on the vinegar jar.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a thermometer is installed on the lid of the jar, and the bottom of the thermometer is inserted into the vinegar jar and submerged below the surface of the vinegar liquid.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a buckle is fixedly installed on the straight tube side wall at one bottom end of the sampling tube, and the connecting tube is installed on the buckle.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom of the vinegar tank is provided with a liquid outlet, and the discharge of vinegar inside the vinegar tank is controlled by a valve at the liquid outlet.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the can lid is provided with an exhaust port, which is sealed by a rubber plug.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In the solution of this utility model:

[0023] The sampling tube is sealed at its bottom using a set of arc-shaped opening and closing plates via an adjustable mechanism. As the sampling tube descends, shallow vinegar does not enter the tube. Once a specific position is reached, pulling the push rod upwards removes the obstruction of the arc-shaped opening and closing plates, allowing the vinegar to push them open and enter the bottom of the sampling tube. Since the arc-shaped opening and closing plates can only rotate upwards, the vinegar does not exit. At this point, a water pump draws the sampled vinegar into the testing chamber for analysis. This achieves the effect of sampling vinegar at a specific depth, resulting in more accurate test results. Attached Figure Description

[0035] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0036] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a fermentation degree detection device for vinegar production, including a vinegar tank 1, a tank cover 2 is bolted to the top of the vinegar tank 1, and an adjustment mechanism 3 is provided at the center of the tank cover 2;

[0037] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the adjusting mechanism 3 includes a sampling tube 301, a push rod 302, a top cover 303, a limiting hole 304, a pin 305, a baffle 306, an arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307, and an extraction assembly 308. The sampling tube 301 is installed at the center of the can cover 2, and the upper and lower ends of the sampling tube 301 are straight tubes, while the middle part is a telescopic tube. The push rod 302 is located in the sampling tube 301 and is coaxially arranged with the sampling tube 301. The top cover 303 is threaded to one end of the top of the sampling tube 301. The limiting hole 304 is open. A pin 305 is inserted into a limiting hole 304 on the surface of the top cover 303 of the push rod 302 to fix the top cover 303 and the push rod 302 in a fixed position. A baffle 306 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the straight tube at the lower end of the sampling tube 301. An arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the sampling tube 301. When the arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 is closed, it forms a complete circular plate. The arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 can only rotate upward. The extraction component 308 is installed on the can cover 2 and is connected to the bottom of the sampling tube 301. During use, push the push rod 302 downwards. When the push rod 302 reaches the bottom of the sampling tube 301, the sampling tube 301 is extended. The bottom of the sampling tube 301 is sealed with multiple sets of arc-shaped opening and closing plates 307. As the sampling tube 301 descends, shallow vinegar will not enter the interior of the sampling tube 301. After reaching the designated depth, the push rod 302 is fixed in the limiting hole 304 by the pin 305, preventing the vinegar pressure in the vinegar tank 1 from pushing the push rod 302 upwards, thus preventing... Push rod 302 rebounds; when sampling is required, release the off-shaft 305, push rod 302 rises, arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 loses its obstruction, vinegar will push open arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 and enter the bottom of sampling tube 301. Since arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 can only rotate upward, the vinegar that enters will not go out, thus achieving the purpose of sampling vinegar at a specified depth; then push rod 302 can be pulled upward again, and under the obstruction of baffle 306, the sampling tube 301 is compressed and returns to the surface of vinegar.

[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the extraction assembly 308 includes an outlet 3081, a detection chamber 3082, a water pump 3083, and a connecting pipe 3084. The outlet 3081 is located on the bottom side of the sampling tube 301. The detection chamber 3082 and the water pump 3083 are fixedly installed on the tank cover 2, and the water pump 3083 is interconnected with the detection chamber 3082. The connecting pipe 3084 connects the outlet 3081 and the water pump 3083. After the vinegar enters the sampling tube 301, the water pump 3083 operates, drawing the vinegar from the outlet 3081 through the connecting pipe 3084 into the detection chamber 3082 for testing.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, the side of the lid 2 has multiple sets of fixing holes 4, and multiple sets of bolts are installed inside the fixing holes 4. This facilitates the installation of the vinegar jar 1 and the lid 2.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, three sets of support legs 5 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the vinegar jar 1, and they are evenly distributed at the bottom of the vinegar jar 1 to facilitate overall support.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, an observation window 6 is provided on the side wall of the vinegar jar 1, and a tempered glass plate is installed at the observation window 6. This allows for convenient inspection of the interior of the vinegar jar 1 through the observation window 6.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, two sets of hanging ears 7 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the vinegar tank 1, and the two sets of hanging ears 7 are symmetrically installed on the vinegar tank 1. This facilitates the movement of the entire device via external equipment.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, a thermometer 8 is installed on the lid 2, with the bottom of the thermometer 8 extending into the vinegar container 1 and submerged below the surface of the vinegar liquid. This allows for observation of the temperature of the vinegar inside the container 1.

[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, a clip 9 is fixedly installed on the straight tube side wall at one bottom end of the sampling tube 301, and the connecting tube 3084 is installed on the clip 9. This facilitates the fixing of the connecting tube 3084.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the vinegar tank 1 has a liquid outlet 10, and the discharge of vinegar from the inside of the vinegar tank 1 is controlled by a valve at the liquid outlet 10. Qualified vinegar can be discharged through the liquid outlet 10.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the lid 2 has a vent 11, which is sealed with a rubber stopper. During fermentation, a large amount of gas may be generated, and the vent 11 can promptly release the gas inside the vinegar jar 1.

[0047] Specifically, when this fermentation degree detection device for vinegar production is working: Pushing the push rod 302 downwards, when the push rod 302 reaches the bottom of the sampling tube 301, the sampling tube 301 is extended. The bottom of the sampling tube 301 is sealed with multiple sets of arc-shaped opening and closing plates 307. As the sampling tube 301 descends, shallow vinegar will not enter the interior of the sampling tube 301. After reaching the designated depth, the push rod 302 is fixed in the limiting hole 304 by the pin 305, preventing the vinegar pressure in the vinegar tank 1 from pushing the push rod 302 upwards. The push rod 302 springs back; when sampling is required, the shaft 305 is released, the push rod 302 rises, the arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 is unobstructed, the vinegar will push open the arc-shaped opening and closing plate 307 and enter the bottom of the sampling tube 301. The water pump 3083 works, drawing the vinegar from the outlet 3081 through the connecting pipe 3084 into the detection box 3082 for testing, achieving the purpose of sampling vinegar at a specified depth. Then, the push rod 302 can be pulled upwards again, and under the obstruction of the baffle 306, the sampling tube 301 is compressed and returns to the surface of the vinegar.

[0048] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0049] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
