Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermented soybean paste jars, and in particular to a fermented soybean paste jar with a top sealing structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the pickling process, existing fermented soybean paste jars are usually covered with simple lids or cloth covers, which makes it difficult to achieve a complete seal. The existing traditional jars lack an effective sealing structure between the top cover and the body, relying only on gravity or simple buckles for fixation. This makes them prone to leakage due to the gas pressure generated during fermentation, allowing outside air, dust, or microorganisms to enter, affecting the quality of the sauce and even causing mold. Although some jars use rubber gaskets for sealing, they are prone to aging and deformation after long-term pressure, leading to seal failure. Furthermore, the lack of auxiliary pressing mechanisms means that the lid may be forced open when the internal gas pressure increases (such as during fermentation). Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of insufficient sealing and poor structural stability in existing technologies by providing a fermented soybean paste jar with a top sealing structure.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fermented soybean paste jar with a top sealing structure, comprising a jar body, a top cover fitted onto the top of the jar body, a placement groove formed on the outer surface of the jar body, a sealing gasket fitted onto the inner wall of the placement groove, an arc-shaped groove formed on the outer surface of the jar body, an O-ring fitted onto the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove, a fixing rod fixedly connected to one side of the jar body, a rotating block fitted onto the outer surface of the fixing rod, and a bonding plate fixedly connected to one side of the top cover.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, a fixing component is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the soy sauce jar body. A knob is provided on the outer surface of the fixing component. A lead screw is fixedly connected to one end of the knob. A movable plate is sleeved on the outer surface of the lead screw. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate. A bearing is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. A limit rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing component.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the movable plate is provided with a screw hole, the outer surface of the lead screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the screw hole, the outer surface of the movable plate is provided with a sliding hole, and the outer surface of the limiting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the placement groove is engaged with the outer surface of the sealing gasket, and the inner wall of the placement groove on the outer surface of the bonding plate is engaged with the outer surface of the bonding plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the outer surface of the O-ring is engaged with the inner wall of the arc groove, and the height of the O-ring is slightly higher than the height of the arc groove.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the rotating block is fixedly connected to one side of the top cover, and the inner wall of the rotating block is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed rod.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, one side of the top cover is engaged with one end of the sauce vat body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention utilizes a sauce vat body for pickling fermented soybean paste. A top cover seals the vat body, creating a sealed space to ensure proper pickling. A placement groove provides a mounting environment for a sealing gasket, which in turn seals the connection between the top cover and the vat body, preventing air leakage. An arc-shaped groove engages with an O-ring seal, securing it in place. Because the O-ring is slightly higher than the arc-shaped groove, the top cover compresses the O-ring during contact, creating a secondary seal and further preventing air leakage during pickling. A fixing rod and rotating block allow the top cover to open and close normally. A bonding plate adheres to the placement groove and compresses the sealing gasket. 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 Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a fermented soybean paste jar with a top sealing structure, including a jar body 1, a top cover 2 sleeved on the top of the jar body 1, a placement groove 4 opened on the outer surface of the jar body 1, a sealing gasket 5 sleeved on the inner wall of the placement groove 4, an arc-shaped groove 6 opened on the outer surface of the jar body 1, an O-ring 7 sleeved on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 6, a fixing rod 8 fixedly connected to one side of the jar body 1, a rotating block 9 sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing rod 8, and an adhesive plate 10 fixedly connected to one side of the top cover 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the sauce vat is used for pickling fermented soybean paste. The top cover 2 seals the main body 1, forming a sealed space to ensure the normal operation of the pickling process. The placement groove 4 provides a place for the sealing gasket 5. The sealing gasket 5 seals the connection between the top cover 2 and the main body 1, ensuring no air leakage. The arc groove 6 engages with the O-ring 7 to fix the O-ring 7. Since the O-ring 7 is slightly higher than the arc groove 6, the top cover 2 presses against the O-ring 7 when it is closed, thus performing a secondary seal at the connection between the top cover 2 and the main body 1, further ensuring no air leakage during pickling. The fixing rod 8 is rotatably connected to the rotating block 9, allowing the top cover 2 to open and close normally. The bonding plate 10 is bonded to the placement groove 4, and the bonding plate 10 presses against the sealing gasket 5.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] like Figures 1-4As shown, a fixing component 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the soy sauce jar body 1. A knob 11 is provided on the outer surface of the fixing component 3. A lead screw 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the knob 11. A movable plate 13 is sleeved on the outer surface of the lead screw 12. A pressure plate 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable plate 13. A bearing 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 12. A limit rod 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing component 3. A screw hole is opened on the outer surface of the movable plate 13. The outer surface of the lead screw 12 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the screw hole. A sliding hole is opened on the outer surface of the movable plate 13. The outer surface of the limit rod 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole.

[0025] In this embodiment, the fixing component 3 provides a good installation environment for other components. The knob 11 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate. Since the lead screw 12 is threadedly connected to the moving plate 13, the moving plate 13 moves while the lead screw 12 rotates. The moving plate 13 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 16 to ensure that the moving plate 13 does not rotate while moving. The movement of the moving plate 13 drives the pressure plate 15 to move. The movement of the pressure plate 15 squeezes the top cover 2 to ensure that the gas generated by the body of the sauce vat 1 during pickling will not push the top cover 2 open, thus ensuring the normal progress of the pickling work.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in this utility model, when using the sauce vat body 1 to marinate fermented soybean paste, the sealing gasket 5 is attached to the placement groove 4, and then the O-ring 7 is engaged with the arc groove 6. After both seals are installed, the top cover 2 is closed to the sauce vat body 1 by rotating the block 9 and connecting it to the fixing rod 8. After closing, the top cover 2 is attached to the placement groove 4 by the bonding plate 10, and one end of the bonding plate 10 presses against the sealing gasket 5. Since the O-ring 7 is slightly higher than the arc groove 6, the top cover 2 presses against the O-ring 7 when it is attached, thereby performing a secondary sealing at the connection between the top cover 2 and the sauce vat body 1. The sealing process further ensures that no air leakage occurs during pickling. After sealing, the screw 12 is rotated by the knob 11. Since the screw 12 is threadedly connected to the moving plate 13, the moving plate 13 moves as the screw 12 rotates. The moving plate 13 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 16 to ensure that the moving plate 13 does not rotate while moving. The movement of the moving plate 13 drives the pressure plate 15 to move, and the movement of the pressure plate 15 squeezes the top cover 2 to ensure that the gas generated in the body of the sauce vat 1 during pickling will not push the top cover 2 open, thus ensuring the normal progress of the pickling process.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
