Description

This device features a baffle structure installed inside the fermentation tank, forming a processing chamber on the upper side of the baffle structure and a reaction chamber on the lower side.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1-6As shown, the present invention proposes a self-fermentation production device for wine, including an insulated tank 1, a temperature control mechanism, a stirring assembly, and a floating circulation propulsion assembly. A fermentation tank 5 is installed inside the insulated tank 1. A tank cover 10 is installed on the fermentation tank 5. A feed pipe 11 communicating with the inside of the fermentation tank 5 is installed on the tank cover 10. A screw cap is installed on the feed pipe 11. A separation and discharge mechanism is installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 5. The separation and discharge mechanism has three working states: sealing the discharge port of the fermentation tank 5, outputting impurity-free wine, and discharging residue. The separation and discharge mechanism includes a limiting tube 6, a discharge pipe 7, and a lifting drive assembly. The limiting tube 6 is located at the bottom of the fermentation tank 5 and coaxial with its outlet. The discharge pipe 7 is located inside the limiting tube 6 and fits against its inner wall. The discharge pipe 7 is provided with a filter hole 701 and a slag discharge hole 702 communicating with its interior. The filter hole 701 is located above the slag discharge hole 702, and a sealing cap 8 is provided at the top of the discharge pipe 7. The sealing cap 8 is inserted into the fermentation tank 5 and adapted to its outlet. The lifting drive assembly includes, but is not limited to, an electric telescopic rod 9. The body of the electric telescopic rod 9 is located on the limiting tube 6, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 9 is connected to the discharge pipe 7. A temperature control mechanism is located on the insulation tank 1. The temperature control mechanism adjusts the internal temperature of the fermentation tank 5 during operation. A stirring assembly is located inside the fermentation tank 5. The stirring assembly stirs the raw materials and sequentially scrapes and cleans the inner wall of the fermentation tank 5 during operation. The stirring assembly includes a splined shaft 12, a stirring paddle 15, a motor 18, a ring 19, a vertical rod 20, a scraper 21, a first gear 24, a second gear 25, and a gear ring 26. The splined shaft 12 is coaxially and rotatably connected to the tank lid 10. The stirring paddle 15 is mounted on the splined shaft 12 and has a clearance fit with the inner wall of the fermentation tank 5. The motor 18 is mounted on the tank lid 10, and its output end is connected to the splined shaft 12. The ring 19 is coaxially and rotatably mounted on the tank lid 10. The top end of the vertical rod 20 is connected to the ring 19. The scraper 21 is connected to the vertical rod 20 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 5. The first gear 24 is coaxially connected to the splined shaft 12. The second gear 25 is rotatably connected to the tank lid 10 and meshes with the first gear 24. The gear ring 26 is coaxially connected to the ring 19. A floating circulation propulsion assembly is installed inside the fermenter 5 and is movably connected to the tank cover 10. The floating circulation propulsion assembly is linked to the stirring assembly and includes a hollow shaft 13, a guide cylinder 14, a spiral plate 16, and a float 23. The hollow shaft 13 is sleeved on the splined shaft 12 and slides along its axial direction. The guide cylinder 14 is sleeved on the hollow shaft 13 and rotatably connected to it coaxially. Several feed holes 141 communicating with the interior of the guide cylinder 14 are provided on its arc surface. The spiral plate 16 is coaxially mounted on the arc surface of the hollow shaft 13 and slides along the inner wall of the guide cylinder 14. Several baffles 17 are spaced apart on the lower spiral surface of the spiral plate 16. A slider 22 that slides along its axial direction is provided on the upright 20. The slider 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guide cylinder 14, and the float 23 is connected to the slider 22. When the float 23 floats on the liquid surface, floating matter on the upper layer of the liquid surface can enter the guide cylinder 14 through the feed holes 141.The floating circulation propulsion component automatically changes with the level of the raw material liquid during operation, and pushes the upper floating objects downwards in a circulating manner.

[0026] In this invention, after the raw materials are added to the fermentation tank 11, the temperature inside the fermentation tank is adjusted using a temperature control mechanism, and the stirring frequency for each stage is set. Due to the presence of the float ball 23, the feed hole 141 on the feed guide cylinder 14 is always half above the liquid surface and half below the liquid surface, which facilitates the entry of floating matter (grape skins, etc.) on the upper layer of the liquid into the feed guide cylinder 14. When stirring is required, the motor 18 drives the spline shaft 12 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring paddle 15 to rotate. At the same time, the spline shaft 12 drives the hollow shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral plate 16 to rotate. When the spiral plate 16 rotates, it pushes the upper floating matter inside downwards and makes full contact between the floating matter and the lower juice. This can press the grape skins into the wine, promote the proliferation of yeast, help the grapes to ferment fully, increase the wine yield, and prevent the grape skins from floating to form a "cap," ensuring that the grape skins and grape juice are in full contact and promoting uniform fermentation. While the spline shaft 12 rotates, it drives the first gear 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 25 to rotate. The second gear 25 then drives the gear ring 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the ring 19 to rotate. The rotation of the ring 19 drives the scraper 21 to rotate, thus preventing the material from sticking to the walls. When it is time to discharge, the electric telescopic rod 9 is activated. The electric telescopic rod 9 pulls up the discharge pipe 7, causing the sealing cover 8 to rise and exposing the outlet of the fermentation tank 5. Once the filter hole 701 enters the fermentation tank 5, the upward pull of the discharge pipe 7 is stopped. At this time, the motor 18 is kept rotating at a low speed. The wine enters the discharge pipe 7 through the filter hole 701 and is discharged. After the wine is discharged, the discharge pipe 7 is pulled up again, allowing the slag discharge hole 702 to enter the fermentation tank 5. The residue is discharged along the discharge pipe 7 by the cooperation of the stirring paddle and the scraper 21. The interior of the fermentation tank 5 can be rinsed with clean water afterward.

Multiple temperature sensors are distributed at multiple points on the fermentation tank 5. A digital display control box 4 is installed on the insulation tank 1, and the controller is installed inside the digital display control box 4, electrically connected to the temperature sensor. An annular cavity 101 is coaxially arranged inside the shell of the insulation tank 1. Several partitions 2 are spaced apart within the annular cavity 101 to form a serpentine channel. Two guide pipes 3 are installed on the insulation tank 1 and are respectively connected to the corresponding ends of the serpentine channel.

[0029] It should be noted that the controller in this embodiment is a PLC controller. The two guide pipes are connected to the input and output terminals of the temperature control device, respectively. The temperature control device includes a water storage tank and a circulating pump. The water storage tank is equipped with a cooler and an electric heating block for regulating the water temperature. At the same time, the water storage tank is equipped with a thermometer for monitoring the water temperature. The thermometer is electrically connected to the controller.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water temperature in the water storage tank is adjusted to a suitable value using a cooler or electric heating block, which is generally between 20-25°C. A circulating pump is used to circulate the constant temperature water into the serpentine channel to regulate the temperature of the fermentation tank 5. The raw materials in the fermentation tank 5 indirectly exchange heat and gradually reach a suitable temperature.
