Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soy sauce fermentation technology, specifically to an alignment device for fermentation. Background Technology
[0002] Soy sauce koji-making is a traditional Chinese process for producing edible soy sauce. It involves using water, wheat, black beans, lime, and other grains as the main ingredients, along with soy sauce and other seasonings, to make the koji, a process that typically takes more than three months. Turning the koji is done to loosen the koji, reduce ventilation resistance, lower the temperature of the koji, and ensure a more uniform temperature, thus promoting the normal growth and reproduction of Aspergillus oryzae.
[0003] Currently, in existing technologies, the turning chamber and ventilation device are usually set up separately. When fresh air needs to be supplied to the turning chamber, the turning chamber is usually rotated by the operator to align the air inlet and outlet of the turning chamber with the corresponding air inlet and outlet pipes of the ventilation device. Then, the air inlet and outlet pipes are inserted into the corresponding air inlet and outlet to supply fresh air to the turning chamber.
[0004] In the above-mentioned solutions, the existing technology requires staff to rely on visual inspection to check whether the alignment is correct, which is difficult to operate precisely, time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, the sealing effect of the air inlet and outlet pipe sleeves at the corresponding air inlet and outlet is poor, which can easily pollute the surrounding air. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an alignment device for bending. By providing a sealing component and an alignment component, the air inlet and outlet can be precisely aligned with the air inlet pipe and air outlet pipe, and the sealing performance during connection is improved. This solves the problem that the prior art requires the operator to rely on visual observation to see if the alignment is correct and is difficult to operate accurately. Moreover, the operation process is easy and efficient, and it ensures that the surrounding air will not be polluted.
[0006] The solution of this utility model to the aforementioned technical problem is:
[0007] An alignment device for folding includes a rotatable folding tank. An air inlet, a circulating air inlet, and an air outlet are fixed on the side wall of the folding tank. A frame is provided on one side of the folding tank. An air inlet pipe, a circulating air pipe, and an air outlet pipe are provided on the upper end of the frame, corresponding to the air inlet, the circulating air inlet, and the air outlet. A set of sealing components is provided on the side wall of the air inlet, the circulating air inlet, and the air outlet, respectively. An alignment component is provided on the side wall of the folding tank.
[0008] When fresh air needs to be supplied to the turning tank, since the circulating air inlet and the turning tank are coaxially set, the circulating air inlet and the circulating air duct are always aligned. Therefore, it is only necessary to align the air inlet and air outlet with the air inlet and air outlet ducts to drive the turning tank to rotate. The position of the turning tank is sensed by the alignment component. If the air inlet and air outlet are aligned with the air inlet and air outlet ducts, the turning tank is controlled to stop rotating. This ensures that the air inlet and air outlet are aligned with the air inlet and air outlet ducts. When it is necessary to connect the air inlet, circulating air inlet and air outlet with the air inlet, circulating air duct and air outlet ducts, a sealing component is provided to improve the sealing when connecting, ensuring that the surrounding air is not polluted.
[0009] By incorporating sealing and alignment components, the air inlet and outlet can be precisely aligned with the air inlet and outlet pipes, improving the sealing performance during connection. This solves the problem of existing technologies requiring operators to visually inspect for alignment, making precise operation difficult. The operation process is easy and efficient, and ensures that the surrounding air is not polluted.
[0010] The utility model is further configured such that: the rotatable turning can includes a roller frame disposed below the turning can, the turning can abuts against the rollers of the roller frame, and multiple positioning strips abutting against the side wall of the turning can are fixed on the side wall of the turning can.
[0011] With the above technical solution, when it is necessary to rotate the turning tank, the roller frame is activated to drive multiple rollers to rotate, thereby driving the turning tank to rotate. At the same time, by providing multiple positioning strips, the turning tank can be prevented from shifting during rotation.
[0012] The utility model is further configured such that: the sealing component includes a conical collar fixed on the side wall of the air outlet, and a conical groove that mates with the conical collar is formed on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe.
[0013] The above technical solution allows the conical collar to abut against the side wall of the conical groove when the air outlet pipe is connected to the air outlet, thereby improving the sealing performance when the air outlet pipe is connected to the air outlet.
[0014] The utility model is further configured such that: the alignment component includes a proximity sensor fixed to the upper end of the roller frame, and a positioning piece is fixed to the side wall of the folding tank.
[0015] The above technical solution allows for the alignment of the air inlet and outlet with the air inlet and outlet pipes. A proximity sensor detects the position of the positioning piece. Once the proximity sensor detects the position of the positioning piece, the controller stops the rotation of multiple rollers on the roller frame, thus aligning the air inlet and outlet with the air inlet and outlet pipes.
[0016] The utility model is further configured such that a rubber pad is fixed on the side wall of the conical collar.
[0017] The above technical solution can improve the sealing performance when the conical collar abuts against the side wall of the conical groove.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] Compared to existing technologies, this system incorporates sealing and alignment components, allowing for precise alignment of the air inlet and outlet with the air inlet and outlet ducts. This improves the sealing performance during connection and solves the problem of existing technologies requiring visual inspection for alignment, which is difficult to operate precisely. The operation is also easy and efficient, ensuring no pollution of the surrounding air. (Rubber pad)
[0020] By incorporating a rubber gasket, the sealing performance of the conical collar against the side wall of the conical groove can be improved. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.
[0026] The following is for reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model will now be described.
[0027] An alignment device for turning and bending includes a rotatable turning tank 1. An air inlet 2, a circulating air inlet 3, and an air outlet 4 are fixed on the side wall of the turning tank 1. A frame 5 is provided on one side of the turning tank 1. An air inlet pipe 6, a circulating air pipe 7, and an air outlet pipe 8 are provided on the upper end of the frame 5, corresponding to the air inlet 2, the circulating air inlet 3, and the air outlet 4. A set of sealing components is provided on the side wall of the air inlet 2, the circulating air inlet 3, and the air outlet 4, and an alignment component is provided on the side wall of the turning tank 1.
[0028] When fresh air needs to be supplied to the turning tank 1, since the circulating air outlet 3 is coaxially set with the turning tank 1, the circulating air outlet 3 and the circulating air duct 7 are always aligned. Therefore, it is only necessary to align the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 4 with the air inlet duct 6 and the air outlet 8 to drive the turning tank 1 to rotate. The position of the turning tank 1 is sensed by the alignment component. If the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 4 are sensed to be aligned with the air inlet duct 6 and the air outlet 8, the turning tank 1 is controlled to stop rotating. Thus, the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 4 can be aligned with the air inlet duct 6 and the air outlet 8. When it is necessary to connect the air inlet 2, the circulating air outlet 3 and the air outlet 4 with the air inlet duct 6, the circulating air duct 7 and the air outlet 8, a sealing component is provided to improve the sealing when connecting, so as to ensure that the surrounding air is not polluted.
[0029] By incorporating sealing and alignment components, the air inlet 2 and air outlet 4 can be precisely aligned with the air inlet pipe 6 and air outlet pipe 8, improving the sealing performance during connection. This solves the problem of existing technologies requiring operators to visually inspect for alignment, making precise operation difficult. The operation process is easy and efficient, and ensures that the surrounding air is not polluted.
[0030] The rotatable tumbling tank 1 includes a roller frame 9 disposed below the tumbling tank 1. The tumbling tank 1 abuts against the rollers 901 of the roller frame 9. Multiple positioning strips 10 are fixed on the side wall of the tumbling tank 1 and abut against the side wall of the rollers 901.
[0031] When it is necessary to rotate the turning tank 1, the roller frame 9 is activated, which drives multiple rollers 901 to rotate, thereby driving the turning tank 1 to rotate. At the same time, multiple positioning strips 10 are provided to prevent the turning tank 1 from shifting during rotation.
[0032] The sealing assembly includes a conical collar 11 fixed to the side wall of the air outlet 4, and a conical groove 12 formed on the inner wall of the air outlet 8 to cooperate with the conical collar 11.
[0033] When it is necessary to connect the air outlet 8 with the air outlet 4, the conical collar 11 is placed against the side wall of the conical groove 12, which can improve the sealing performance when the air outlet 8 is connected to the air outlet 4.
[0034] The alignment assembly includes a proximity sensor 13 fixed to the upper end of the roller frame 9 and a positioning piece 14 fixed to the side wall of the folding tank 1.
[0035] When it is necessary to align the air inlet 2 and air outlet 4 with the air inlet pipe 6 and air outlet pipe 8, the position of the positioning piece 14 is sensed by the proximity sensor 13. After the proximity sensor 13 senses the position of the positioning piece 14, the controller controls the multiple rollers 901 on the roller frame 9 to stop rotating, so that the air inlet 2 and air outlet 4 can be aligned with the air inlet pipe 6 and air outlet pipe 8.
[0036] A rubber pad 15 is fixed on the side wall of the conical collar 11.
[0037] It can improve the sealing performance when the conical collar 11 abuts against the side wall of the conical groove 12.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] When fresh air needs to be supplied to the turning tank 1, since the circulating air outlet 3 is coaxially set with the turning tank 1, the circulating air outlet 3 and the circulating air duct 7 are always aligned. Therefore, it is only necessary to align the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 4 with the air inlet duct 6 and the air outlet 8, start the roller frame 9, drive multiple rollers 901 to rotate, thereby driving the turning tank 1 to rotate. The position of the positioning piece 14 is sensed by the proximity sensor 13. After the proximity sensor 13 senses the position of the positioning piece 14, the controller controls the multiple rollers 901 on the roller frame 9 to stop rotating, so that the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 4 are aligned with the air inlet duct 6 and the air outlet 8. When it is necessary to connect the air inlet 2, the circulating air outlet 3 and the air outlet 4 with the air inlet duct 6, the circulating air duct 7 and the air outlet 8, the conical collar 11 abuts against the side wall of the conical groove 12, thereby improving the sealing when connecting and ensuring that the surrounding air is not polluted.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model. These improvements and modifications assumed above should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
