Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquor processing technology, and more specifically, to a fermentation tank for liquor processing. Background Technology
[0002] Baijiu is a traditional Chinese liquor, renowned for its unique brewing techniques and cultural traditions. The brewing process of baijiu includes fermentation, distillation, and aging stages. During fermentation, baijiu requires fermentation tanks to convert the starch in the grains into alcohol.
[0003] A search revealed a utility model publication with publication number CN214528919U that discloses a fermentation tank for baijiu (Chinese liquor) processing. The tank includes a tank body and a fully flowing mechanism. The fully flowing mechanism is installed inside the tank body, along with a storage basket. A lid is hinged to the upper part of the tank body. This design effectively maintains the temperature inside the tank, preventing the liquor from being affected by temperature fluctuations. It also ensures more thorough fermentation of the baijiu during the fermentation process, preventing stratification and resulting in more stable quality.
[0004] However, when this device ferments the raw materials for baijiu (Chinese liquor), it directly pours cooked glutinous rice into the storage basket and then adds water for fermentation. However, the cooked glutinous rice tends to accumulate in the storage basket, and some of it will not be fully fermented, which will affect the subsequent processing quality of baijiu and fail to meet the user's needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a fermentation tank for baijiu processing.

This causes the movable rod to move the storage basket up and down. Simultaneously, the guide groove guides the fixed rod, causing the movable rod to rotate, which in turn drives the storage basket to rotate. This allows the raw materials for liquor in the storage basket to fully contact with water, ensuring thorough fermentation and preventing any impact on the subsequent processing quality of the liquor, thus meeting the user's needs.

[0025] 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.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides a fermentation tank for baijiu (Chinese liquor) processing, including a fermentation tank body 1. A tank cover 101 is installed on the top of the fermentation tank body 1. A ventilation pipe 103 is installed on the left side of the top of the tank cover 101. A drain pipe 104 is installed at the bottom right side of the fermentation tank body 1. A fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank cover 101. A drive assembly 3 is installed on the right side of the front of the fixing plate 2. A control assembly 4 is installed in the middle of the top of the fixing plate 2. A lifting assembly 5 is installed at the bottom of the control assembly 4. A movable rod 6 is installed at the bottom of the lifting assembly 5. A storage basket 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable rod 6. The control assembly 4 includes a rotating mechanism that is movably sleeved on the surface of the fixing plate 2. The rotating rod 401 has a rotating disk 403 fixedly connected to its front side, and a first cylindrical block 404 fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating disk 403. A movable plate 405 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the first cylindrical block 404. The lifting assembly 5 includes a fixed frame 501, with a cylindrical groove 511 at the bottom. A connecting block 602 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod 6, and the connecting block 602 is rotatably sleeved with the cylindrical groove 511. A fixed rod 601 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable rod 6. A positioning frame 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the cylinder head 101. Guide grooves 701 are provided on both sides of the positioning frame 7, and the guide grooves 701 are slidably connected to the fixed rod 601.
[0027] In this embodiment, the starter motor 301 drives the first gear 302 to rotate, and through meshing with the second gear 402, drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating disk 403 to rotate circumferentially. The first cylindrical block 404 can drive the upper end of the movable plate 405 to rotate circumferentially, and then the lower end of the movable plate 405 can drive the lifting assembly 5 to move vertically up and down, so that the movable rod 6 drives the storage basket 102 to move up and down. At the same time as the movable rod 6 moves up and down, the guide groove 701 guides the fixed rod 601, so that the movable rod 6 rotates, and then drives the storage basket 102 to rotate. This allows the liquor raw materials in the storage basket 102 to fully contact with the water, so that the liquor raw materials can be fully fermented, thus not affecting the subsequent processing quality of the liquor, and meeting the needs of users.
[0028] The drive assembly 3 includes a motor 301 fixedly connected to the front of the fixed plate 2. The output shaft of the motor 301 is fixedly connected to a first gear 302. A second gear 402 is fixedly sleeved on the back of the outer side of the rotating rod 401. The first gear 302 and the second gear 402 mesh with each other.
[0029] The diameter of the first gear 302 is smaller than that of the second gear 402, which can reduce speed and increase torque, so that the rotating disk 403 can rotate stably.
[0030] The top of the fixed frame 501 is fixedly connected to a fixed block 502, and the inner side of the fixed block 502 is fixedly connected to a second cylindrical block 503. The second cylindrical block 503 is movably sleeved with the bottom of the movable plate 405.
[0031] When the first cylindrical block 404 rotates from the top to the bottom of the rotating disk 403, the movable plate 405 pushes the movable rod 6 downward. When the first cylindrical block 404 rotates from the bottom to the top of the rotating disk 403, the movable plate 405 pulls the movable rod 6 upward.
[0032] The fixed frame 501 has a support plate 504 fixedly connected to both sides. The bottom of the support plate 504 is fixedly connected to a positioning rod 505. The outer side of the positioning rod 505 is movably sleeved with a positioning tube 506. The bottom of the positioning tube 506 is fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder head 101.
[0033] The positioning rod 505 and the positioning tube 506 work together to position the fixed frame 501 and prevent the fixed frame 501 from rotating or tilting.
[0034] Among them, the top and bottom of the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 511 are provided with ball grooves 512, and stainless steel balls 513 are provided on the inner side of the ball groove 512. The arc-shaped surface of the connecting block 602 is movably sleeved with a roller 603, and the roller 603 is in contact with the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 511.
[0035] When the movable rod 6 rotates under the action of the fixed rod 601 and the guide groove 701, the connecting block 602 rotates inside the cylindrical groove 511. The stainless steel ball 513 and the roller 603 can reduce the friction when the connecting block 602 rotates.
[0036] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0037] The starter motor 301 drives the first gear 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate through meshing with the second gear 402. This causes the rotating disk 403 to rotate in a circle. The first cylindrical block 404 drives the upper end of the movable plate 405 to move in a circle, and then the lower end of the movable plate 405 drives the lifting assembly 5 to move vertically. This causes the movable rod 6 to move the storage basket 102 in a vertical direction. While the movable rod 6 is moving in a vertical direction, the guide groove 701 guides the fixed rod 601, causing the movable rod 6 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the storage basket 102 to rotate, allowing the liquor raw materials in the storage basket 102 to fully contact with water, ensuring that the liquor raw materials are fully fermented. This will not affect the subsequent processing quality of the liquor and will meet the needs of the user.
