Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mango juice fermentation devices, and in particular to an energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] Mangoes are a tropical fruit with a harvest season concentrated within 1-2 months. The ripening period is short, and mangoes are not easy to preserve. Therefore, in addition to selling fresh fruit, deep processing of mangoes has always been an important measure in the mango industry. Mango juice is one such method. Fermenting mango juice can improve its taste, extend its shelf life, and generate better profits.

[0003] A fermentation tank is a device for mechanically stirring and fermenting materials. Its main body is typically a cylindrical column made of stainless steel. This equipment uses an internal circulation system, employing a stirring paddle to disperse and break up air bubbles, resulting in a high oxygen dissolution rate and excellent mixing effect. The tank body is made of imported SUS304 or 316L stainless steel, and the tank is equipped with an automatic spray cleaning head to ensure that the production process meets GMP requirements.

[0004] In the process of developing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: When cleaning existing mango juice fermentation tanks, most of them use a ground cleaning device or a water spray plate installed on the stirring rod to clean the inside of the fermentation tank. However, the ground cleaning device alone cannot clean the part of the stirring blade that is blocked in the fermentation tank. Although the water spray plate can solve this problem, when the mango juice is stirred and fermented, some mango juice and microorganisms will adhere to the outlet or even enter the inside, which will affect the fermentation process of mango juice and is not easy to clean.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank. This high-efficiency energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank can prevent the mixture of mango juice and microorganisms from adhering to the water outlet during the stirring and fermentation of mango juice, or even leaving mango juice residue inside, which would make the fermentation tank difficult to clean.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank includes an on-site cleaning device, a water supply pipe, and a fermentation tank body. The fermentation tank body includes an electric motor, a stirring mechanism is fixedly installed at the lower end of the electric motor, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the end of the stirring mechanism near the electric motor.

[0009] The stirring mechanism includes a column, three stirring blades are movably arranged on the outer wall of the column, six sliding grooves are provided through the outer side of the column, six sliders are fixedly arranged above the side of the three stirring blades near the column, three movable rings are fixedly arranged at the end of the six sliders away from the stirring blades, three support plates are fixedly arranged at the lower end of the opposite side of the three movable rings, and telescopic rods are fixedly arranged on both sides of the upper part of the three support plates.

[0010] The six telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the lower end faces of three baffles in pairs. Springs are fixedly connected to the lower end faces of the three movable rings in pairs. Three support frames are fixedly connected to the ends of the six springs away from the three movable rings in pairs. A stop bar is fixedly installed at the center of the upper end face of each of the three support frames.

[0011] Furthermore, the six sliders are slidably disposed inside the six grooves, and a compressible film structure is provided on the side of the six grooves near the three stirring blades.

[0012] Furthermore, one side of the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the lower side of the on-site cleaning device, and the other end of the water supply pipe is connected to the end of the water inlet pipe away from the stirring mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, the fermentation tank body includes a tank body, with a feed inlet fixedly provided at the upper end of the tank body, a discharge pipe fixedly provided at the lower end of the tank body, and a valve fixedly provided on one side of the discharge pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, a sampling tube is fixedly installed on the upper end of the tank near the feed inlet, and a pH meter is fixedly installed on the upper end of the tank away from the feed inlet.

[0015] Furthermore, two observation windows are provided at the top and bottom ends of the side of the tank.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This utility model proposes an energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank. When mango juice fermentation is carried out in the fermentation tank, the membrane set in the stirring blade structure and the chute can prevent mango juice from entering the column through the chute, thus avoiding mango juice residue inside the fermentation tank. When the fermentation tank is cleaned, a large water flow impacts the baffle plate, causing the fixed block and slider to move down together, driving the stirring blade to move and exposing the through-type chute. When the baffle plate moves down to the stop rod position, the stop rod supports the baffle plate, allowing the water flow to flow to the next chute. After cleaning is completed, the spring connected to the fixed block rebounds, causing the connected slider and stirring blade to move up, blocking the chute and ending the cleaning.

[0020] 2. The energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank proposed in this utility model has an upper observation window on the outer wall of the tank to see whether there are residual air bubbles on the upper layer when the mango juice is stirred, and a lower observation window to determine whether there is any unstirred mango juice and fermentation material accumulation at the bottom of the fermentation tank, so as to make the mango juice stirring and fermentation more thorough.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 An embodiment of this utility model provides an energy-saving mango juice fermentation tank, including an on-site cleaning device 1, a water supply pipe 2, and a fermentation tank body 3. The fermentation tank body 3 includes a motor 304. A stirring mechanism 307 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the motor 304. A water inlet pipe 302 is fixedly installed at one end of the stirring mechanism 307 near the motor 304. The stirring mechanism 307 includes a 30 column 711. Three 30 stirring blades 701 are movably installed on the outer wall of the 30 column 711. Six 30 sliding grooves 705 are provided through the outer side of the 30 column 711. Six 30 sliders 702 are fixedly installed above the side of the three 30 stirring blades 701 near the 30 column 711. Three 30 moving rings 703 are fixedly installed at the end of the six 30 sliders 702 away from the 30 stirring blades 701. Three 30 support plates 708 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the opposite side of the three 30 moving rings 703. 30 telescopic rods 707 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the three 30 support plates 708.

[0029] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the cleaning function can be achieved by filling the interior of the fermenter body 3 with water through the on-site cleaning device 1 and the water supply pipe 2. During the cleaning process, the large water flow impacts the 30 baffle plate 706, causing the fixed block and the 30 slider 702 to move down together, driving the 30 stirring blade 701 to move and exposing the through-hole 30 sliding groove 705. At this time, the water flow will flow out from the 30 sliding groove 705, realizing the rinsing and cleaning of the 30 stirring blade 701 and the interior of the fermenter body 3. When the 30 baffle plate 706 moves down to the position of the 30 baffle rod 709, the 30 baffle rod 709 supports the 30 baffle plate 706, so that the water flow can flow to the next 30 sliding groove 705, which facilitates the smooth cleaning work.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4 Six 30 telescopic rods 707 are fixedly connected to each other on both sides of the lower end face of three 30 water baffles 706. Three 30 springs 704 are fixedly connected to each other on both sides of the lower end face of three 30 movable rings 703. Three 30 support frames 710 are fixedly connected to each other on both sides of the end of the six 30 springs 704 away from the three 30 movable rings 703. A 30 stop bar 709 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper end face of each of the three 30 support frames 710.

[0031] Specifically, in the above embodiment, after the cleaning is completed, the 30 spring 704 connected to the fixed block rebounds, causing the 30 slider 702 and 30 stirring blade 701 connected to it to move upward, blocking the 30 chute 705 to end the cleaning. At this time, the structure of the 30 stirring blade 701 and the film set in the 30 chute 705 can prevent mango juice from entering the 30 column 711 through the 30 chute 705, thus avoiding the presence of mango juice residue inside the fermentation tank during the fermentation process.

[0032] Six 30 sliders 702 are slidably disposed inside six 30 grooves 705. A compressible film structure is provided on the side of the six 30 grooves 705 near the three 30 stirring blades 701. One side of the water supply pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the local cleaning device 1, and the other end of the water supply pipe 2 is connected to the end of the water inlet pipe 302 away from the stirring mechanism 307.

[0033] Specifically, in the above embodiments, the 30 slider 702 can stably drive the 30 stirring blades 701 to move stably inside the fermenter body 3, which improves the stability of the cleaning work. After the cleaning work is completed, the film is reset to achieve the function of blocking, which greatly avoids residue and improves the cleaning effect.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The fermenter body 3 includes a tank body 314. A feed inlet 303 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the tank body 314. A discharge pipe 308 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the tank body 314. A valve 309 is fixedly installed on one side of the discharge pipe 308. A sampling pipe 301 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the tank body 314 near the feed inlet 303. A pH meter 312 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the tank body 314 away from the feed inlet 303. Two observation windows 313 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the side of the tank body 314. A cooling water inlet 310 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the side of the two observation windows 313. A cooling water outlet 305 is fixedly installed above the other side of the tank body 314. A cooling jacket 306 is fixedly installed inside the tank body 314. A temperature control device 311 is fixedly installed above the side of the tank body 314 near the cooling water inlet 310.

[0035] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the feed inlet 303 facilitates the addition of raw materials to the interior of the fermentation tank body 3, and the valve 309 facilitates the feeding process. During the fermentation process, the sampling tube 301 can be used to take samples into the interior of the fermentation tank body 3 in real time, which facilitates the control of the fermentation process. At the same time, the tank body 314 is provided with a cooling water inlet and outlet, which facilitates efficient heat dissipation with the cooling jacket 306 and the temperature control device 311.

[0036] Working principle: During the fermentation process in this fermenter, raw materials are first injected into the tank 314 through the feed inlet 303. Then, the fermenter is sealed and the fermentation program is started. During the fermentation stage, the structure of the stirring blade 701 and the membrane in the chute 705 work together to effectively prevent mango juice from seeping into the column 711, ensuring that no mango juice residue remains inside the fermenter.

[0037] Secondly, during the cleaning of the fermentation tank, the strong water flow impacts the baffle plate 706, causing the fixed block and slider 702 to descend simultaneously. This, in turn, moves the agitator 701, exposing part of the chute 705. When the baffle plate 706 descends to the stop bar 709, the stop bar 709 supports the baffle plate 706, guiding the water flow to the next chute 705. After cleaning, the spring 704 on the fixed block rebounds, causing the slider 702 and agitator 701 to move upward, thus closing the chute 705 and completing the cleaning process.

[0038] 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. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
