Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brewing technology, specifically relating to a high-efficiency fermentation tank for brewing. Background Technology
[0002] Fermentation is a crucial step in the brewing process, and the fermentation tank is the essential equipment for achieving this process. During fermentation, a large amount of foam is generated on the surface of the fermentation liquid due to the metabolic activities of microorganisms. If this foam is not removed in time, it will occupy a significant amount of space inside the fermentation tank, affecting the normal progress of fermentation and potentially causing the fermentation liquid to overflow, resulting in waste and environmental pollution.
[0003] Currently, existing defoaming devices for brewing fermentation tanks suffer from problems such as poor defoaming effect, complex structure, and high maintenance costs. For example, some defoaming devices can only defoam at specific locations and cannot effectively eliminate foam on the surface of the fermentation liquid; others require the use of chemical defoaming agents, which not only increases production costs but may also affect the quality of the wine. Therefore, developing an efficient and reliable defoaming device for brewing fermentation tanks is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a high-efficiency fermentation tank for brewing, aiming to solve the problems of poor defoaming effect and complex structure of existing fermentation tanks, thereby achieving efficient elimination of foam on the surface of the fermentation liquid and ensuring the smooth progress of the fermentation process.
[0005] This utility model provides a high-efficiency fermentation tank for brewing, including a bottom support, a fermentation tank disposed on the bottom support, and a defoaming component disposed on the fermentation tank.
[0006] The defoaming component includes a power mechanism fixed on the fermenter and a defoaming mechanism disposed inside the fermenter.
[0007] The power mechanism includes a U-shaped bracket fixed to the fermenter and the bottom support. A sliding rod and a lead screw are mounted on the U-shaped bracket. The sliding rod is parallel to the lead screw, and both are horizontally mounted on the U-shaped bracket. Both ends of the sliding rod are fixedly connected to the U-shaped bracket, and both ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the U-shaped bracket via bearings. A sliding sleeve is fitted onto the sliding rod, and a threaded sleeve is screwed into the external thread of the lead screw. A reduction motor is fixedly mounted at one end of the U-shaped bracket, and the output shaft of the reduction motor is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. The reduction motor drives the lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the threaded sleeve to move axially along the lead screw. A mounting base is fixedly mounted between the sliding sleeve and the threaded sleeve. One side of the mounting base is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve, and the other side is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve. The top of the mounting base is fixedly connected to the tail end of the guide rod to ensure that the power mechanism can stably drive the guide rod.
[0008] The defoaming mechanism includes a guide rod inserted into the fermenter and a limiting post fixed to the inner wall of the fermenter. A sealing sleeve is provided at the connection between the guide rod and the fermenter to prevent gas and liquid leakage from the fermenter, while ensuring the guide rod can slide freely on the fermenter. The tail end of the guide rod is fixed to a mounting base, and a pushing elastic plate is fixed to the guide rod. The pushing elastic plate has an arc-shaped structure and is made of stainless steel. The bending direction of the pushing elastic plate faces the fermentation liquid inside the fermenter, allowing for better contact with and defoaming of the foam on the surface of the fermentation liquid. The limiting post forms a motion limiting engagement with the end of the pushing elastic plate. When the pushing elastic plate undergoes radial displacement, the limiting post guides the pushing elastic plate to reverse its arc curvature direction, forming a conforming guide structure with the inner wall of the fermenter.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] The defoaming mechanism, driven by a power mechanism, moves the elastic sheet on the surface of the fermentation liquid, effectively eliminating foam on the surface of the fermentation liquid and preventing foam from affecting the fermentation process. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.
[0020] Example 1
[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown;
[0022] A high-efficiency fermentation tank for brewing.
[0023] This implementation plan addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as the issues disclosed in the background section above: "Existing defoaming devices for brewing fermentation tanks suffer from poor defoaming effects, complex structures, and high maintenance costs. For example, some defoaming devices can only defoam at specific locations and cannot effectively eliminate foam on the surface of the fermentation liquid; others require the use of chemical defoaming agents, which not only increases production costs but may also affect the quality of the wine." In practical terms, this problem is clearly real and difficult to solve. Therefore, to address this technical problem, a high-efficiency fermentation tank for brewing is provided.
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure;
[0025] Based on the above, the system includes a bottom support 1, a fermentation tank 2 mounted on the bottom support 1, and a defoaming component 3 mounted on the fermentation tank 2. The defoaming component 3 includes a power mechanism 31 fixed to the fermentation tank 2 and a defoaming mechanism 32 disposed inside the fermentation tank 2. The power mechanism 31 includes a U-shaped bracket 311 fixed to the fermentation tank 2 and the bottom support 1. The U-shaped bracket 311 is equipped with a slide rod 312 and a lead screw 313. A [missing information - likely a component or part number] is sleeved on the slide rod 312. The sliding sleeve 314 has a threaded sleeve 315 screwed into the external thread of the lead screw 313. A reduction motor 316 is fixedly installed at one end of the U-shaped bracket 311. A mounting base 317 is fixedly installed between the sliding sleeve 314 and the threaded sleeve 315. The defoaming mechanism 32 includes a guide rod 321 inserted into the fermentation tank 2 and a limiting post 322 fixed to the inner side wall of the fermentation tank 2. The tail end of the guide rod 321 is fixed to the mounting base 317, and a pushing elastic piece 323 is fixed on the guide rod 321.
[0026] The slide rod 312 is set parallel to the lead screw 313, and both the slide rod 312 and the lead screw 313 are horizontally mounted on the U-shaped bracket 311. The two ends of the slide rod 312 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped bracket 311, and the two ends of the lead screw 313 are rotatably connected to the U-shaped bracket 311 through bearings.
[0027] The output shaft of the geared motor 316 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 313. The geared motor 316 is used to drive the lead screw 313 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 315 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw 313.
[0028] A sealing sleeve is provided at the connection between the guide rod 321 and the fermentation tank 2. The sealing sleeve is used to prevent gas and liquid leakage in the fermentation tank 2, while ensuring that the guide rod 321 can slide flexibly on the fermentation tank 2.
[0029] The push elastic plate 323 has an arc-shaped structure and is made of stainless steel. The bending direction of the push elastic plate 323 is towards the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank 2, so as to better contact the foam on the surface of the fermentation liquid and defoam.
[0030] The limiting post 322 and the end of the pushing elastic plate 323 form a motion limiting engagement. When the pushing elastic plate 323 undergoes radial displacement, the limiting post 322 guides the pushing elastic plate 323 to reverse the direction of its arc curvature, forming a conforming guide structure with the inner wall of the fermenter 2.
[0031] One side of the mounting base 317 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 314, and the other side is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 315. The top of the mounting base 317 is fixedly connected to the tail end of the guide rod 321 to ensure that the power mechanism 31 can stably drive the guide rod 321 to move.
[0032] Installation process
[0033] Install the bottom bracket 1 in the appropriate position, ensuring it is stable and secure.
[0034] Install fermenter 2 on bottom support 1 to ensure the stability of fermenter 2.
[0035] To install the defoaming component 3, first fix the U-shaped bracket 311 on the fermentation tank 2 and the bottom bracket 1, then install the slide rod 312 and the lead screw 313 on the U-shaped bracket 311, put the sliding sleeve 314 on the slide rod 312, and screw the threaded sleeve 315 into the external thread of the lead screw 313.
[0036] The geared motor 316 is fixed to one end of the U-shaped bracket 311, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 313.
[0037] Install mounting base 317 between sliding sleeve 314 and threaded sleeve 315, and fix the tail end of guide rod 321 to mounting base 317.
[0038] Insert the guide rod 321 into the fermenter 2 and install a sealing sleeve at the connection.
[0039] The limiting post 322 is fixed to the inner wall of the fermenter 2, and the pushing elastic plate 323 is fixed to the guide rod 321.
[0040] Working principle
[0041] When foam forms on the surface of the fermentation liquid in fermenter 2, the geared motor 316 is activated. The geared motor 316 drives the lead screw 313 to rotate, and the lead screw 313 drives the threaded sleeve 315 to move axially along the lead screw 313. Since the sliding sleeve 314 slides on the sliding rod 312, and the mounting base 317 connects the sliding sleeve 314 and the threaded sleeve 315, the mounting base 317 will move together with the threaded sleeve 315. The movement of the mounting base 317 causes the guide rod 321 to slide inside fermenter 2, thereby causing the pusher elastic plate 323 to move on the surface of the fermentation liquid.
[0042] When the push elastic plate 323 is moved to the limiting post 322, the limiting post 322 contacts the end of the push elastic plate 323. Through contact guidance, the arc curvature direction of the push elastic plate 323 changes in the opposite direction, forming a conforming guide structure with the inner wall of the fermentation tank 2. Continuing to push makes the push elastic plate 323 conform to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 2, thereby eliminating the foam.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
