Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, specifically an automatic temperature control device for a mango wine fermentation tank. Background Technology
[0002] Mango wine fermentation relies on the metabolic activity of yeast, and yeast activity is directly related to temperature. The optimal fermentation temperature is typically between 18-28℃. If the temperature fluctuates outside this range, the yeast's reproduction rate and metabolic efficiency will significantly decrease. For example, below 15℃, yeast metabolism slows down, the fermentation cycle is prolonged, and unwanted microorganisms may proliferate; above 30℃, yeast is easily inactivated or even dies, leading to the termination of fermentation. Simultaneously, high temperatures may promote the growth of harmful microorganisms, affecting the safety of the wine.

This invention, by setting an annular jacket outside the tank body and fitting an annular cooling pipe inside the annular jacket, improves the cooling effect during microbial fermentation by circulating cooling water within the annular cooling pipe during the fermentation process, achieving a simple and efficient solution.
[0004] When the fermentation tank with the aforementioned automatic temperature control device is in use, the local eddies formed by the stirring paddle when stirring the mango wine can cause a temperature difference of more than four degrees between the edge and center of the tank. This can affect the consistency of yeast activity, prolong or stop the fermentation cycle, and thus affect the production efficiency of mango wine.

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.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 An automatic temperature control device for a mango wine fermentation tank includes a fermentation tank body 1, a stirring component 2 fixed inside the fermentation tank body 1, and a control component 3 sleeved on the outside of the fermentation tank body 1.
[0026] The stirring assembly 2 includes a first motor 21, a stirring rod 22 fixed to the output end of the first motor 21, a first stirring paddle 23 fixed to the outside of the stirring rod 22, a driving bevel gear 24 fixed to the other end of the first stirring paddle 23, a driven bevel gear 25 meshing with the bottom of the driving bevel gear 24, a rotating column 26 fixed in the driven bevel gear 25, a support rod 27 fixed to the side of the rotating column 26, a sealing ring 28 fixed to the other end of the support rod 27, and a second stirring paddle 29 fixed to the other end of the sealing ring 28.
[0027] The stirring rod 22 has a rotating groove 210, and the sealing ring 28 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 210. A sealing layer is fixed at the connection between the sealing ring 28 and the rotating groove 210. The sealing layer is used to prevent mango wine from entering the interior of the stirring rod 22 when the sealing ring 28 rotates in the rotating groove 210, so that the interior of the stirring rod 22 is sealed.
[0028] A support base 211 is fixed at the bottom of the fermentation tank body 1. A rotating column 26 is rotatably connected to the middle of the support base 211. A stirring rod 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the support base 211. The connection between the support base 211 and the stirring rod 22 is sealed. The rotating column 26 rotates at the axis of the support base 211.
[0029] The length of the second stirring paddle 29 is less than the length of the first stirring paddle 23. The first stirring paddle 23 is close to the inner wall of the fermentation tank body 1, while the second stirring paddle 29 is located near the center of the fermentation tank body 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, when the mango wine is fermented and stirred, the first motor 21 drives the stirring rod 22 to rotate on the support base 211, so that the first stirring paddle 23 on the outside of the stirring rod 22 stirs the edge of the fermentation tank body 1. At the same time, the driving bevel gear 24 at the other end of the first stirring paddle 23 is connected to the driven bevel gear 25 through meshing, so that the rotating column 26 in the driven bevel gear 25 rotates in the support base 211, so that the second stirring paddle 29 fixed on the side of the rotating column 26 stirs the center of the fermentation tank body 1. During the stirring of the second stirring paddle 29, the sealing ring 28 fixed between the support rod 27 and the second stirring paddle 29 rotates in the rotating groove 210 in the stirring rod 22, so that the inside of the stirring rod 22 is in a sealed state, so that the second stirring paddle 29 and the first stirring paddle 23 can simultaneously stir the edge and center of the fermentation tank body 1, thereby making the yeast activity in the fermentation tank body 1 consistent.
[0031] Example 2:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-4Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a technical solution. The control component 3 includes a temperature control ring 31. A second motor 32 is fixed to the top of the temperature control ring 31. A drive gear 33 is fixed to the output end of the second motor 32. An adjustment ring 34 is meshed with the side of the drive gear 33. A rotating shaft 35 is fixed to the bottom of the adjustment ring 34. A connecting rod 36 is hinged in the rotating shaft 35. A rotating rod 37 is fixed to the other end of the connecting rod 36. An insulation plate 38 is fixed in the rotating rod 37.
[0033] The rotating rod 37 is rotatably connected to the inside of the temperature control ring 31. The adjusting ring 34 has a toothed groove 39 on the side near the drive gear 33. When stationary, the drive gear 33 is positioned in the middle of the toothed groove 39.
[0034] In this embodiment, based on the actual fermentation of the mango wine, the PLC controls the second motor 32 to drive the drive gear 33 to mesh and rotate with the adjusting ring 34. As the adjusting ring 34 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 37 at the other end of the connecting rod 36, which is hinged to the rotating shaft 35 at the bottom, to rotate. This causes the insulation plate 38 to rotate, thereby controlling the insulation performance of the insulation plate 38 inside the fermentation tank body 1 and improving energy utilization.
