[0002] A vinegar fermentation batch turning machine is a specialized piece of equipment used in the vinegar brewing process. It is primarily used during the acetic acid fermentation stage to periodically turn the vinegar batches (fermentation materials composed of mixed raw materials). Its core function is to ensure even contact between the vinegar batches and oxygen through mechanical stirring or turning, regulating temperature and humidity, promoting microbial fermentation, and preventing caking or spoilage. The equipment typically consists of a transmission system, a turning device, a support frame, and a control module. It can operate automatically and at set times, improving fermentation efficiency and quality.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0026] Example
[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides a vinegar blank turning machine with an automatic turning structure, comprising:
[0028] The blank turning mechanism 100 includes a blank turning box 110, a support frame 120 fixedly installed at the bottom of the blank turning box 110 for support, a main shaft 130 rotatably installed inside the blank turning box 110 for turning the vinegar blanks, and a stirring blade 140.
[0029] The switching mechanism 200 includes a driving component 210 for driving the main shaft 130 and the stirring blade 140 to rotate and tumble the vinegar blanks, and a switching component 220 with a switching function to tumble the vinegar blanks at different depths.
[0030] The mechanism, through the cooperation between the drive component 210 and the switching component 220, is used to turn the vinegar blanks at different fermentation stages. This solves the problem that the traditional vinegar blank turning machine has a fixed turning depth and angle, which cannot adapt to different fermentation stages, and improves the turning effect of the vinegar blanks.
[0031] Specifically, the drive component 210 includes a transmission gearbox 211 fixedly installed on one side of the billet turning box 110 and used for linkage of several main shafts 130 and stirring blades 140, a first driven gear 212 and a second driven gear 213 fixedly installed on the ends of the main shafts 130 and stirring blades 140 respectively, and a motor 214 fixedly installed on one side of the billet turning box 110 and used for driving the first driven gear 212 and the second driven gear 213 to rotate.
[0032] Furthermore, a drive gear 215 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 214. The drive gear 215 drives the first passive gear 212 and the second passive gear 213 to rotate through the switching component 220.
[0033] Preferably, the switching component 220 includes two threaded shafts 221 rotatably mounted on one side of the blanking box 110, and a transmission gear 222 disposed on the surface of the threaded shafts 221 and used to drive the first driven gear 212 and the second driven gear 213 to rotate respectively.
[0034] Two transmission gears 222 are respectively fitted onto the surfaces of two threaded shafts 221.
[0035] By adjusting the position of the transmission gear 222, the transmission gear 222 can mesh with or disengage from the first driven gear 212 and the second driven gear 213, thereby driving the first driven gear 212 and the second driven gear 213 to rotate respectively, which facilitates stirring the surface or deep part of the vinegar blank.
[0036] Furthermore, the surface of the threaded shaft 221 is respectively threaded with a first threaded sleeve 223 and a second threaded sleeve 224 for limiting the transmission gear 222, and the transmission gear 222 is located between the first threaded sleeve 223 and the second threaded sleeve 224.
[0037] The first screw sleeve 223 and the second screw sleeve 224 are used to limit the transmission gear 222, so that the transmission gear 222 is aligned with the first driven gear 212 and the second driven gear 213, ensuring transmission efficiency. At the same time, the rotation of the first driven gear 212 and the second driven gear 213 can be controlled independently.
[0038] Specifically, the surface of the threaded shaft 221 is provided with a guide groove 225, and the inner side of the transmission gear 222 is fixedly installed with a protrusion that is engaged inside the guide groove 225.
[0039] The guide groove 225 and the protrusion are used to prevent the inner side of the transmission gear 222 from rubbing against the surface of the threaded shaft 221 for a long time, which would cause the transmission gear 222 to loosen.
[0040] Furthermore, the interior of the blank-turning box 110 is provided with a placement plate 150, and a spring 160 for elastically mounting the placement plate 150 is fixedly installed inside the blank-turning box 110. A push-button switch 170 for controlling the opening of the motor 214 is also fixedly installed inside the blank-turning box 110.
[0041] When the vinegar blank is placed inside the turning box 110, the weight of the vinegar blank itself will press down on the placement plate 150, causing the placement plate 150 to move down and compress the spring 160. At the same time, the placement plate 150 presses the push-button switch 170. The pressed push-button switch 170 starts the motor 214 to work, further achieving the purpose of automatically turning the vinegar blank inside the turning box 110.
[0042] When in use, during the initial fermentation of the vinegar blank, the transmission gear 222 needs to be moved to mesh with the first passive gear 212. Under the action of the motor 214, the driving gear 215 is driven to rotate. The driving gear 215 drives the transmission gear 222 to rotate, and the transmission gear 222 then drives the first passive gear 212 to rotate. Thus, the first passive gear 212 drives the main shaft 130 and the stirring blade 140 located on the surface of the vinegar blank to rotate through the transmission gearbox 211, so that the stirring blade 140 stirs the surface of the vinegar blank.
[0043] During the later stage of vinegar fermentation, the transmission gear 222 that meshes with the first passive gear 212 needs to be separated, and the transmission gear 222 corresponding to the second passive gear 213 needs to be moved to mesh with it. At the same time, driven by the motor 214, the main shaft 130 and stirring blade 140 located deep in the vinegar blank are rotated to deeply turn the vinegar blank.
[0044] In summary, the cooperation between the drive component 210 and the switching component 220 is used to turn the vinegar blanks at different fermentation stages, which solves the problem that the traditional vinegar blank turning machine has a fixed turning depth and angle and cannot adapt to different fermentation stages, thus improving the turning effect of the vinegar blanks.
