Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vinegar production, and specifically discloses a vinegar production and processing tank device. Background Technology

[0002] Vinegar is an acidic condiment produced through various fermentations. Its chemical formula is CH3COOH, and it is a weak electrolyte. Vinegar brewing primarily uses rice or sorghum as raw materials. Proper fermentation converts liquids containing carbohydrates (sugar, starch) into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The alcohol then combines with oxygen in the air under the action of certain bacteria to produce acetic acid and water. Therefore, the vinegar brewing process is essentially the further oxidation of alcohol into acetic acid. The amount of acetic acid in vinegar varies, generally ranging from 5% to 8%. The intensity of the sour taste in vinegar is mainly determined by the amount of acetic acid it contains.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN214654784U discloses a vinegar production and processing tank device, including a box body with an arc-shaped top. Legs are evenly welded around the bottom of the box body, and leg pads are fixedly connected to the bottom of the legs. A detection mechanism is welded to the right side of the box body. A pump is fixedly connected to the middle of the upper surface of the box body via a support frame. A vinegar extraction pipe is connected to the left side of the pump, extending to the inside of the box body. A strainer is welded to the bottom of the strainer, and the strainer's bottom contacts the bottom of the box body. This invention seals the feeding port with a door panel and hinges. A motor drives a stirring rod to stir the raw materials. The fermented vinegar is then extracted to the right side of the box for storage. Raw material residue is filtered using a strainer and a filter screen. A vinegar concentration detector is installed for monitoring the vinegar concentration. Finally, the output is opened via a solenoid valve.

[0004] The aforementioned document discloses a vinegar production and processing tank device that filters vinegar using a strainer and a filter screen. However, when the extraction pipe extracts vinegar from the left side of the tank, the raw material residue in the vinegar easily clogs the strainer, affecting filtration and the flow of vinegar liquid. Therefore, a vinegar production and processing tank device is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model proposes a vinegar production and processing tank device. By moving the pusher plate left and right inside the filter frame, the filtration speed of the vinegar liquid can be accelerated, and the raw material residue in the vinegar liquid can be prevented from clogging the mesh on the filter frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A vinegar production and processing tank device includes a mixing tank 1, an agitator 101 is installed inside the mixing tank 1, and a feed pipe 102 with a sealing cap threaded to the outer wall of the mixing tank 1 is connected to the outer wall of the mixing tank 1; a second filter structure is provided on the right side of the mixing tank 1, and a first filter structure connected to the second filter structure is installed at the rear of the mixing tank 1.

[0025] The first filtration structure includes a filter chamber 4 installed on the rear end face of the mixing chamber 1, two filter plates 401 inserted into the filter chamber 4 and extending to the outside of the filter chamber 4, a connecting plate 402 fixedly connected to the top of the filter plate 401, a cylinder 403 installed on the upper end face of the filter chamber 4 and whose output end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 402, and a liquid extraction pipe 404 connecting the mixing chamber 1 and the filter chamber 4 and having a pump body installed on its outer wall.

[0026] The second filtration structure includes a filter box 2 located on the right side of the mixing box 1, a filter frame 201 installed inside the filter box 2, a push plate 202 located inside the filter frame 201, an electric push rod 203 located on the outer wall of the filter box 2 and whose output end is fixedly connected to the push plate 202, a connecting pipe 405 of the pump body installed on the outer wall of the filter box 2, which is connected between the filter box 2 and the filter chamber 4.

[0027] In this embodiment: the raw materials are added into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 102, and then the raw materials in the mixing tank 1 are stirred by the stirring assembly 101 to make the raw materials fully mixed. After the raw materials are fermented by the bacteria, the fermented vinegar liquid is drawn into the filter chamber 4 through the pump body on the outer wall of the extraction pipe 404. The vinegar liquid is filtered through one of the filter plates 401 in the filter chamber 4 (in the working state, one filter plate 401 is inserted into the filter chamber 4, and the other filter plate 401 is located outside the filter chamber 4). The filtered vinegar liquid is drawn into the filter frame 201 through the pump body on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 405. The smaller raw material residues in the vinegar liquid are filtered again through the filter frame 201. At the same time, the electric push rod 203 is activated to push the push plate 202 to move left and right in the filter frame 201, thereby accelerating the filtration speed of the vinegar liquid and preventing the raw material residues in the vinegar liquid from clogging the mesh on the filter frame 201.

[0028] Since the filter plate 401 is the first filtration structure, a large amount of raw material residue can easily clog the filter plate 401. Therefore, the cylinder 403 can push one of the connecting plates 402 upward, causing the corresponding filter plate 401 to move out of the filter chamber 4. At the same time, the cylinder 403 can pull the other connecting plate 402 downward, causing the other filter plate 401 to move downward and be inserted into the filter chamber 4. Thus, by using the two filter plates 401 alternately, the normal filtration of vinegar is ensured while improving the filtration efficiency.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a liquid storage tank 3 is provided at the bottom of the filter box 2, a liquid level sensor 301 is installed on the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 3, and an outlet pipe 302 with a valve installed on the outer wall is connected to the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 3.

[0030] In this embodiment: the filtered vinegar enters the storage tank 3, and the amount of vinegar inside the storage tank 3 is detected by the liquid level sensor 301. When the amount of vinegar in the storage tank 3 reaches the set amount, the valve can be opened and the vinegar in the storage tank 3 can be discharged through the outlet pipe 302.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the mesh diameters of the two filter plates 401 are the same.

[0032] In this embodiment, since the mesh diameters of the two filter plates 401 are the same, the two filter plates 401 can be used alternately.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a flow guide 204 is installed between the filter box 2 and the liquid storage tank 3.

[0034] In this embodiment, the guide platform 204 allows the filtered vinegar to smoothly enter the storage tank 3.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer walls of the mixing tank 1, the filter tank 2, the liquid storage tank 3, and the filter chamber 4 are all provided with sealing covers.

[0036] In this embodiment: opening the sealing cover facilitates the internal maintenance and treatment of the mixing tank 1, the filter tank 2, the liquid storage tank 3, and the filter chamber 4.

[0037] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a control panel is installed on the outer wall of the mixing tank 1, and the stirring assembly 101, pump body, electric actuator 203 and liquid level sensor 301 are all electrically connected to the control panel.

[0038] In this embodiment, the stirring assembly 101, pump body, electric actuator 203 and liquid level sensor 301 can be controlled to work normally via the control panel (control panel model S7-1200 PLC).

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Raw materials are added into the mixing chamber 1 through the feed pipe 102. Then, the raw materials in the mixing chamber 1 are stirred by the stirring component 101 to ensure thorough mixing. After the raw materials are fermented by the microorganisms, the fermented vinegar liquid is drawn into the filter chamber 4 through the pump body on the outer wall of the extraction pipe 404. The vinegar liquid is filtered through one of the filter plates 401 in the filter chamber 4 (in the working state, one filter plate 401 is inserted into the filter chamber 4, and the other filter plate 401 is located outside the filter chamber 4). The filtered vinegar liquid passes through the outer wall of the connecting pipe 405. The pump body draws the vinegar into the filter frame 201, where smaller raw material residues in the vinegar are filtered again. At the same time, the electric actuator 203 is activated, which pushes the push plate 202 to move left and right in the filter frame 201, thereby accelerating the filtration speed of the vinegar and preventing raw material residues in the vinegar from clogging the mesh on the filter frame 201. The filtered vinegar enters the storage tank 3 through the guide platform 204, and the liquid level sensor 301 detects the liquid level in the storage tank 3. When the set value is reached, the valve on the outer wall of the outlet pipe 302 can be opened to discharge the vinegar from the storage tank 3.

[0040] Since the filter plate 401 is the first filtration structure, a large amount of raw material residue can easily clog the filter plate 401. Therefore, the cylinder 403 can push one of the connecting plates 402 upward, causing the corresponding filter plate 401 to move out of the filter chamber 4. At the same time, the cylinder 403 can pull the other connecting plate 402 downward, causing the other filter plate 401 to move downward and be inserted into the filter chamber 4. Thus, by using the two filter plates 401 alternately, the normal filtration of vinegar is ensured while improving the filtration efficiency.
