Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chili fermentation equipment, specifically a chili fermentation equipment that can remove odors. Background Technology
[0002] Chili fermentation is an important food processing technology. Through the action of microorganisms, the components in chili peppers are transformed, producing unique flavors and textures, thus enriching the variety of chili products, such as chili sauce and pickled peppers. During the chili fermentation process, due to the metabolic activities of microorganisms and changes in the components of the chili peppers themselves, various odorous substances are produced, such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and some volatile organic acids and alcohols. These odors not only affect the working environment but may also negatively impact product quality and reduce consumer acceptance. Traditional chili fermentation equipment usually lacks effective odor treatment devices. Some simple ventilation measures can only partially remove odors but cannot fundamentally eliminate them. Furthermore, existing fermentation tanks only have sampling ports at the top, making it impossible to sample the fermenting chili peppers inside and detect potential problems during the bottom fermentation process in a timely manner, such as contamination by other microorganisms or abnormal fermentation. To solve these problems, a chili fermentation device capable of removing odors is needed.
[0003] Existing chili fermentation equipment has problems such as being unable to remove the odors produced during the chili fermentation process and being unable to take samples at different depths inside the fermentation tank. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a chili fermentation equipment that can remove odors. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a chili fermentation device that can remove odors, so as to solve the problems that existing chili fermentation devices cannot remove the odors generated during the chili fermentation process and cannot sample and test at different depths inside the fermentation tank.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a chili fermentation device capable of removing odors, comprising a tank, a transparent observation window installed on the side wall of the tank, a sealing plate installed on the top of the tank, a fixed shaft installed on the inner wall of the sealing plate, a fixed sleeve installed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft, a slot formed on the inner wall of the tank, a positioning sleeve installed on the inner wall of the slot, a limit spring installed on the inner wall of the positioning sleeve, a locking rod installed on the outer wall of the limit spring, a cover plate installed on the outer wall of the locking rod, a sampling port formed on the side wall of the tank, a pressure rod installed on the inner wall of the sampling port, a return spring installed on the outer wall of the pressure rod, a through groove formed on the side wall of the pressure rod, and a compression spring installed on the outer wall of the pressure rod.
[0006] Preferably, the fixed shaft passes through the interior of the sealing plate and the tank and is threadedly connected to the fixed sleeve, and the slots are arranged in a rectangular array with the central axis of the tank as the center.
[0007] Preferably, the positioning sleeve is movably connected to the slot, and the locking rod forms a telescopic structure with the positioning sleeve through a limiting spring.
[0008] Preferably, the cover plate is inserted into the positioning sleeve, and the locking rod is engaged with the cover plate.
[0009] Preferably, the sampling ports are evenly distributed around the central axis of the tank, and the sampling ports are movably connected to the pressure rod.
[0010] Preferably, the through slots are arranged in a rectangular array with the central axis of the pressure rod as the center, and the pressure rod forms a telescopic structure with the tank body through a compression spring.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model uses a slot, positioning sleeve, limiting spring, locking rod, and cover plate to place food-grade activated carbon into the positioning sleeve. Then, the locking rod is pushed outward, and the cover plate is inserted into the positioning sleeve. The locking rod is released, and the locking rod is pushed inward by the elastic force of the limiting spring, so that the locking rod and the cover plate are locked together and fixed, which facilitates the replacement of food-grade activated carbon. Then, the positioning sleeve is placed into the tank along the slot. The food-grade activated carbon inside absorbs the odors produced during the fermentation of chili peppers, thereby improving the fermentation quality and taste of chili peppers.
[0013] 2. This utility model, through its sampling port, pressure rod, return spring, through groove, and compression spring, allows for periodic sampling at different depths during chili fermentation to test indicators such as the number of microorganisms, pH value, sugar content, and acidity in the samples, thus understanding the progress of fermentation. By pressing the pressure rod inward, it moves inward, separating from the sampling port, allowing the internal chili sample to flow out through the through groove for collection and testing. After releasing the pressure rod, the spring force of the return spring and compression spring pushes it outward, sealing the pressure rod with the sampling port, eliminating the need to open the tank for sampling and reducing the risk of contamination by other microorganisms.

Then, positioning sleeve 7 is placed into tank 1 along slot 6. The food-grade activated carbon is placed in to absorb the odor produced during chili fermentation, thereby improving the fermentation quality and taste of chili.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4A chili fermentation device capable of removing odors includes a sampling port 11 on the side wall of a tank 1. A pressure rod 12 is installed on the inner wall of the sampling port 11, and a return spring 13 is installed on the outer wall of the pressure rod 12. A through groove 14 is formed on the side wall of the pressure rod 12, and a compression spring 15 is installed on the outer wall of the pressure rod 12. The sampling ports 11 are evenly spaced around the central axis of the tank 1 and are movably connected to the pressure rod 12. The through groove 14 is arranged in a rectangular array around the central axis of the pressure rod 12. The pressure rod 12 and the tank 1 form a telescopic structure via the compression spring 15. The sampling ports 11 and the pressure rod 12... The reset spring 13, the through groove 14, and the compression spring 15 are used to periodically sample different depths during the chili fermentation process to test the number of microorganisms, pH value, sugar content, acidity, and other indicators in the samples, which can help understand the progress of fermentation. By pressing the pressure rod 12 inward, the pressure rod 12 moves inward, separating it from the sampling port 11.
