For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the first feature "on" or "below" the second feature may be in direct contact with the first and second features, or indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0028] In this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a middle trench welding device is provided, including a self-priming pump 1, a pouring pipe 2, and a connecting pipe 3 connecting the self-priming pump 1 and the pouring pipe 2; the pouring device also includes a pouring frame 4, the pouring pipe 2 includes a pipe body 201 and a connector 202 connected to the pipe body 201, the lower end of the pipe body 201 extends to the lower side of the connector 202, the upper end of the pipe body 201 is connected to the connecting pipe 3, and at least one of the connecting pipe 3 and the pipe body 201 is provided as a compensating pipe section with a spherical shape at the connection position between them; the connector 202 is swayably connected to the pouring frame 4 so that the lower end of the pipe body 201 rotates and moves when the connector 202 sways; the pouring device also includes a driving member installed on the pouring frame 4, the driving member being able to drive the connector 202 to sway.

[0029] In use, the pouring device of this utility model is installed on the upper side of the fermentation tank. When pouring is required, the water inlet of the self-priming pump 1 can be inserted into the fermentation tank. The self-priming pump 1 is used to draw out the sauce in the fermentation tank and deliver it to the pouring pipe 2. The driving component drives the pouring pipe 2 to swing, so that the lower end of the pipe body 201 swings back and forth, thereby enabling the lower end of the pipe body 201 to pour more evenly into the fermentation tank.

[0030] The pouring device of this invention features a swingable connection between the connector 202 and the pouring support. The lower end of the tube 201 extends to the lower side of the connector 202, allowing the lower end of the tube 201 to tilt and swing when the connector 202 swings. This enables the sauce to be poured from the tube 201 at an angle, resulting in a more dispersed pouring range and improved pouring dispersion when the lower end of the tube 201 rotates. This invention, through a small-amplitude swing connection between the connector 202 and the pouring support 4, allows for a large-amplitude swinging pouring of the sauce from the tube 201, making it suitable for larger fermentation tanks. Furthermore, this invention can achieve a wide-range pouring using a single outlet of the tube 201, which is less prone to clogging and easier to clean compared to existing multiple spray outlet methods.

[0031] Regarding the swingable connection between connector 202 and the pouring frame 4, in a preferred embodiment, more specifically, as follows: Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the watering rack 4 includes a watering rack body 401 and a transverse frame 402 that is hinged to the watering rack body 401 around a first transverse axis. The connecting member 202 is hinged to the transverse frame 402 around a second transverse axis. The first transverse axis and the second transverse axis are perpendicular.

[0032] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the upper side of the connector 202 is provided with a drive rod 10. The drive rod 10 is driven to rotate around the center of the motor by the rotation of the motor, so that the connector 202 can swing around the intersection center of the first transverse axis and the second transverse axis.

[0033] exist Figures 1 to 6 The embodiment shown has the drive rod 10 located on the upper side of the connector 202. This is not a limitation of the present invention. In an optional embodiment, the drive rod 10 may also be installed on the lower side of the connector 202.

[0034] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the axis of the tube 201 is offset at the intersection of the first transverse axis and the second transverse axis.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the tube body 201 is offset and installed outside the intersection center of the first and second transverse axes to facilitate installation of the tube body 201 on the connector 202. Furthermore, in Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, by biasing the tube body 201, the upper part of the tube body 201 is always biased to one side of the drive rod 10 when the tube body 201 rotates on the upper part of the connector 202, thus preventing interference between the motor output shaft and the connecting tube 3 and the tube body 201.

[0036] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the upper end of the tube body 201 is connected to the connecting tube 3 by the upper side of the connector 202. This is not intended to limit the present invention. In an optional embodiment, the tube body 201 and the connecting tube 3 can also be connected to the lower side of the connector 202.

[0037] In an alternative embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this invention, the pouring rack 4 includes a pouring rack body 401, and the connecting member 202 is connected to the pouring rack body 401 via a ball joint. Figure 5 As shown, this allows the connector 202 and the pouring frame 4 to be connected by a ball joint for a swing-swing connection. Figure 5 As shown, the main body 401 of the watering rack is provided with a ball joint seat, the connector 202 is provided with a ball head that cooperates with the ball joint seat, the tube body 201 is connected to the lower side of the connector 202, and the upper side of the connector 202 is provided with a drive rod 10. The drive member drives the drive rod 10 to rotate around the center of the motor through a motor, thereby causing the lower end of the tube body 201 to swing.

[0038] In an alternative embodiment, regarding the swing connection between the connector 202 and the watering rack 4 in this utility model, more specifically, the watering rack 4 includes a watering rack body 401, the watering rack body 401 is provided with a connecting hole, the connector 202 includes a connecting rod 6 passing through the connecting hole and a limiting block 7 disposed on the upper side of the watering rack body 401, the connecting rod 6 has an movable gap with the hole wall of the connecting hole, and the limiting block 7 abuts against the upper side of the watering rack body 401.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the tube body 201 is connected to the lower side of the connecting rod 6, and the upper side of the connecting rod 6 is provided with a driving rod 10. The tube body 201 is connected to the lower side of the connecting member 202. The driving member drives the driving rod 10 to rotate around the center of the motor shaft through the motor, thereby causing the lower end of the tube body 201 to swing.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the driving component includes a drive motor 8, a drive ring 9 eccentrically connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 8, and the connecting component 202 has a drive rod 10 extending into the drive ring 9. For example... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the extension direction of the drive rod 10 is inclined relative to the vertical line, and the extension direction of the tube body 201 is approximately parallel to the extension direction of the drive rod 10. When the drive motor 8 drives the drive ring 9 to rotate, it drives the drive rod 10 to rotate around the axis of the motor output shaft, thereby causing the upper end of the drive rod 10 to swing in a circular motion. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the tube body 201 is offset to one side of the connector 202, and the lower end of the tube body 201 moves in a curved rotation, thereby completing the reciprocating and uniform pouring of soy sauce.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, more specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the watering device further includes a frame 11, and the watering rack 4 is vertically and flexibly mounted on the frame 11.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, by setting the pouring rack 4 to be height-adjustable, the distance between the lower end of the pipe 201 and the material in the fermentation tank can be controlled, thereby controlling the contact position between the extension line of the lower section of the pipe 201 and the material during the rotation and movement of the pipe 201, and thus adjusting the distribution range of the sauce pouring.

[0043] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, specifically regarding the structure of this utility model, the frame 11 is equipped with a screw jack 12, and the pouring frame 4 is installed on the screw jack 12. Figure 1 As shown, the frame 11 includes two vertically extending rails, and the screw jack 12 includes a vertical screw disposed between the two rails and a vertical screw motor connected to the top of the vertical screw. The vertical screw is threadedly engaged with the pouring rack 4. The lifting mechanism of the pouring rack 4 is not limited to the form of the screw jack 12 shown in the figure. In optional embodiments, other lifting structures can be used to move the pouring rack 4 up and down, such as a rack and pinion jack.

[0044] In the illustrated embodiment, a further optimization of the structure of this utility model is that the watering device further includes two support rails 13 and a traveling member 14 movably mounted on the two support rails 13, and the watering frame 4 is mounted on the traveling member 14.

[0045] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, two support rails 13 are arranged horizontally, and the traveling component 14 includes a slider that can be slidably mounted on the support rails 13, so that the watering frame 4 can be moved along the support rails 13 to make the watering more uniform.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a walking drive component can be provided between the walking component 14 and the support rail 13. For example, in a preferred embodiment, the walking component 14 includes a guide seat that is slidably mounted on the support rail 13, a connecting frame connected between the two guide seats, and a walking motor mounted on the connecting frame. A rack can be provided at the position of the support rail 13, and a gear that meshes with the rack can be provided at the position of the guide seat. The walking motor is connected to the gear through a transmission shaft, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the watering frame 4 along the length direction of the support rail 13.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a further optimization of the structure of this utility model is that a guide rail 15 is provided between the two traveling members 14, and the pouring frame 4 is movably mounted on the guide rail 15. Figure 1 and2 As shown, the pouring frame 4 can be moved laterally by the guide rail 15 to make the pouring more uniform.

[0048] exist Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the bottom of the frame 11 of the watering rack 4 is provided with a base that slides with the guide rail 15. One lateral driving method of the base is that there are two guide rails 15, and a horizontal lead screw is provided between the two guide rails 15. A horizontal lead screw motor is provided at the guide seat position at one end of the guide rail 15. The horizontal lead screw motor is connected to the horizontal lead screw drive, and the horizontal lead screw is threadedly engaged with the base.

[0049] The driving structure for the movement of the watering rack 4 along the length of the guide rail 15 is not limited to the horizontal screw drive shown in the figure. In optional embodiments, other driving methods can also be used, such as the transverse drive method using gears and racks or the cylinder drive method.

[0050] It should be noted that, in the embodiment shown in the figure, it can be applied to medium to large rectangular fermentation tanks (generally longer than 2 meters and wider than 1.5 meters). In use, the two support rails 13 are installed on both sides of the fermentation tank respectively.

[0051] It should be noted that the use of movable support rail 13 is not a limitation of this utility model. In optional embodiments, a fixed frame 11 can also be used, that is, the frame 11 is fixed to the edge of the fermentation tank. In this case, this utility model can be applied to both rectangular and circular fermentation tanks.

[0052] In the illustrated embodiment, in order to accommodate the spatial changes when the connector 202 and the watering frame 4 swing relative to each other, the connecting pipe 3 is set as a rubber connecting pipe 3, so that the connection position between the connecting pipe 3 and the watering pipe 2 forms a compensating pipe section.

[0053] Regarding the self-priming pump 1, in the illustrated embodiment, the self-priming pump 1 is mounted on the guide rail 15. The inlet pipe of the self-priming pump 1 can be vertically inserted into the fermentation tank (the part of the inlet pipe inserted into the fermentation tank is designed with a perforated structure with a filter screen). When the guide rail 15 moves along the support rail 13, it can also drive the inlet pipe to move together, so that the self-priming pump 1 absorbs sauce at different positions, thereby further promoting the sauce to be evenly poured and flowed in the fermentation tank. This is not intended to be a self-installation of the present invention. In optional embodiments, the self-priming pump 1 can also be fixed to the edge of the fermentation tank, with the inlet pipe of the self-priming pump 1 inserted into a fixed position inside the fermentation tank.

[0054] It should be noted that, in Figure 2 In order to better showcase the support rail and guide rail structure on the underside of the frame, the water pump and the horizontal lead screw motor were removed before being displayed.
