Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation tank technology, and in particular to a highland barley rice wine fermentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] Highland barley wine is a fermented wine made primarily from highland barley. It is widely popular in Tibetan and plateau regions of China, such as Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan, and Yunnan. Therefore, it requires a highland barley wine fermentation tank for fermentation, which is a key piece of equipment for brewing highland barley wine.
[0003] Currently, barley wine fermentation tanks often suffer from several problems during use. Fermentation liquid residue inside the tank after fermentation can easily lead to cross-contamination, and cleaning the inside of the tank is difficult for staff, reducing both the effectiveness and ease of cleaning. Furthermore, poor sealing of the fermentation tank allows microorganisms, dust, and other contaminants from the external environment to enter, affecting fermentation quality and compromising the seal. Therefore, those skilled in the art have developed a barley wine fermentation tank to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a barley wine fermentation tank. Through the design of a sealing device, it effectively seals the feed inlet and prevents microorganisms, dust, and other contaminants from entering the fermentation tank, thus improving fermentation quality and enhancing sealing. Furthermore, the combined use of a cleaning device and an anti-stick coating allows for thorough cleaning of the tank's interior, reducing manual intervention and the difficulty of cleaning. This prevents cross-contamination that could affect fermentation and effectively prevents the fermentation liquid from adhering to the inner wall of the tank, facilitating cleaning and improving both convenience and effectiveness. Finally, the combined use of a heat-conducting cylinder and stirring blades achieves efficient heat conduction, ensuring uniform heating of the fermentation tank's interior and avoiding the problems of localized overheating or uneven temperature distribution that can occur with direct heating of the fermentation liquid, thereby improving the fermentation effect.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a highland barley wine fermentation tank, comprising a fermentation tank body and a controller, wherein the controller is located at the center of the front end face of the fermentation tank body, a discharge port is provided at the lower center of the front end face of the fermentation tank body, three support legs are arranged in a triangular pattern at the center of the lower end face of the fermentation tank body, a rotary motor is provided at the center of the upper end face of the fermentation tank body, a rotating rod is provided at the center of the interior of the fermentation tank body, multiple stirring blades are arranged vertically on both sides of the lower center of the outer side of the rotating rod, a feed inlet is provided at one side of the center of the upper end face of the fermentation tank body, a sealing device is provided at the center of the upper end face of the feed inlet, an exhaust port is provided at the other side of the center of the upper end face of the fermentation tank body, a cleaning device is provided at the center of one side of the fermentation tank body, heating components are provided at both sides of the center of the lower inner wall of the fermentation tank body, a heat-conducting cylinder is sleeved at the center of the lower inner wall of the fermentation tank body, and an anti-stick coating is provided at the center of the inner side wall of the fermentation tank body and the center of the inner side wall of the heat-conducting cylinder and the lower inner wall;

Near the upper center of the outer side, the connecting pipe 1104 passes through the lower end face of the rotating rod 6 and extends into the interior of the rotating rod 6, and is connected to the fixed ring pipe 1105. The water pump 1102 transports the cleaning water inside the water storage tank 1101 to the rotary joint 1103. The rotation characteristics of the rotary joint 1103 meet the rotation requirements of the rotating rod 6. The rotary joint 1103 then transports the cleaning water into the connecting pipe 1104. The connecting pipe 1104 is connected to the fixed ring pipe 1105, which ensures that the cleaning water is transported into the fixed ring pipe 1105, thereby improving the flowability of the cleaning water.
[0035] Multiple nozzles 1106 are arranged in a circular pattern at the center of the outer side of the fixed ring pipe 1105. The nozzles 1106 are inclined and the cleaning water is rinsed through the nozzles 1106 to rinse the inside of the fermentation tank body 1. This reduces manual intervention and the difficulty of cleaning, and prevents cross-contamination that could affect the fermentation effect, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning. The inclined arrangement of the nozzles 1106 also ensures that the rinsing is comprehensive.
[0036] The output end of the rotary motor 5 passes through the upper end face of the fermentation tank body 1 and extends to the upper inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1, and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 6. The lower end of the rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the lower inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1 through a bearing. The rotary motor 5 drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, and the rotating rod 6 drives the stirring blade 7 to rotate, so as to satisfy the stirring of the fermentation liquid. The three anti-stick coatings 14 are polytetrafluoroethylene. The polytetrafluoroethylene anti-stick coating 14 is a material with extremely low surface energy, which has excellent chemical corrosion resistance and non-stick properties. It can effectively prevent the fermentation liquid from adhering to the inner wall of the tank and reduce the risk of corrosion.
[0037] Working Principle: In the highland barley wine fermentation tank, the raw materials enter the fermentation tank body 1 through the feed inlet 8. The heating component 12 heats the heat conduction cylinder 13, and the rotary motor 5 drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blades 7 to rotate. This ensures efficient heat conduction and uniform heating of the fermentation tank body 1, avoiding the problems of local overheating or uneven temperature that may occur when directly heating the fermentation liquid, thus improving the fermentation effect. The sealing cover 903 is connected to the feed inlet 8 by a hinge, allowing the sealing cover 903 to open and close. The opening and closing of the sealing cover 903 is automated by the push of the electric telescopic rod 905, reducing manual work and facilitating operation. Furthermore, the mutual attraction between the electromagnet 902 and the magnetic block 904 effectively seals the feed inlet 8 and effectively prevents microorganisms, dust, and other pollutants from the external environment from entering the fermentation tank body 1 and affecting the fermentation quality, thereby improving the sealing performance.
[0038] Next, the fermented raw materials are discharged through outlet 3, and the cleaning water inside the water storage tank 1101 is transported to the rotary joint 1103 by the water pump 1102. The rotation characteristics of the rotary joint 1103 meet the rotation requirements of the rotating rod 6. The cleaning water is then transported to the connecting pipe 1104 through the rotary joint 1103. The connecting pipe 1104 is connected to the fixed ring pipe 1105, which ensures that the cleaning water is transported to the fixed ring pipe 1105, thereby improving the flow of the cleaning water. Finally, the cleaning water is sprayed onto the fermentation tank through the nozzle 1106. The interior of the main body 1 is rinsed, reducing manual intervention and the difficulty of cleaning, and preventing cross-contamination that could affect the fermentation effect, thus improving the ease of cleaning. The inclined nozzle 1106 ensures comprehensive rinsing. Finally, the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) anti-stick coating 14, a material with extremely low surface energy, has excellent chemical corrosion resistance and non-stick properties. It can effectively prevent the fermentation liquid from adhering to the inner wall of the tank, reducing the risk of corrosion and facilitating cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0039] 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.
