Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing fermentation technology, and in particular to a fermentation tank for brewing fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing is a process of converting sugary raw materials into alcoholic beverages through fermentation or other biochemical processes. It is one of the oldest food processing technologies in human history, and brewing traditions exist in almost all cultures. The core of brewing is to use yeast or other microorganisms to convert sugars (such as glucose, fructose, maltose, etc.) into alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide, while producing a variety of flavor substances. In the brewing process, fermentation tanks are used to hold fermentation liquids (such as wort, grape juice, etc.) and carry out fermentation.

[0003] When using existing fermentation tanks, the raw materials are first poured into the tank through the inlet. Then, the inlet is sealed after the raw materials have been poured into the tank. Finally, the raw materials are stirred inside the fermentation tank to ensure they are fully mixed.

[0004] Existing fermentation tanks can complete the brewing process. However, when sealing the feed inlet, the traditional sealing method involves the operator manually screwing the sealing cap onto the outside of the feed inlet. Although this can seal the fermentation tank, the manual operation can lead to inconsistent tightening force of the sealing cap, which can easily cause air leakage or incomplete sealing, thus affecting the fermentation quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a fermentation tank for brewing, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where manual operation can lead to inconsistent tightening force of the sealing cap, which can easily cause air leakage or poor sealing, thus affecting the fermentation quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A fermentation tank for brewing includes:

[0008] Fermentation tank body;

[0009] Two feed inlets are fixedly connected to the top sides of the fermenter body;

[0010] A horizontal plate, which is fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank body;

[0011] Two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the top sides of the horizontal plate;

[0012] A motor, which is disposed outside the mounting plate on the left side;

[0013] A meshing gear and a rack plate, wherein the gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor;

[0014] Two connecting rods are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the rack plate;

[0015] Two sealing caps are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two connecting rods;

[0016] And a filtration assembly for filtering the fermented rice wine.

[0017] Furthermore, the filtration assembly includes a discharge port, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermenter body. A control valve is installed outside the discharge port, and an installation block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port. A filter shell is installed outside the installation block, and a filter screen is installed inside the filter shell. A discharge port is fixedly connected to the right side of the filter shell.

[0018] Furthermore, a support block is fixedly connected to the upper part of the horizontal plate, and the motor is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support block.

[0019] Furthermore, a telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rack plate, and the bottom of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank body.

[0020] Furthermore, through holes are provided on both sides of the interior of the horizontal plate, and the two connecting rods are slidably connected inside the two through holes.

[0021] Furthermore, the mounting block has external threads on its exterior, and the filter housing has internal threads on its left side, so the mounting block and the filter housing are connected by threads.

[0022] Furthermore, a motor is installed on the top of the fermentation tank body, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the fermentation tank body, and stirring rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the rotating rod.

[0023] Furthermore, a mounting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank body, the motor is fixedly connected inside the mounting ring, a bracket is fixedly connected to the lower part of the fermentation tank body, and an observation window is installed on the outside of the fermentation tank body.

[0024] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. In this utility model, after the brewing raw materials are poured into the fermentation tank body through two feed inlets, the motor is started, which drives the gear to rotate. The gear drives the rack plate to move downward. The rack plate drives the two sealing caps to move downward synchronously through the connecting rod until the sealing caps completely cover the feed inlets. Then the motor is turned off. This process realizes the automatic sealing of the feed inlets, avoiding the problems of air leakage or poor sealing caused by manual operation, thereby improving the fermentation quality.

[0026] 2. In this utility model, when discharging the fermented rice wine, first align the inner thread of the filter shell with the outer thread of the mounting block and tighten them. Then open the control valve, and the rice wine enters the filter shell from the fermentation tank body through the discharge port. After being filtered by the filter screen, it is discharged from the discharge port. This design installs a filter structure outside the discharge port, which can remove solid impurities (such as yeast residue, fruit pulp, grain particles, etc.), making the wine clearer and more transparent, and improving the sensory quality.

[0036] 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.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 This utility model provides an embodiment of a fermentation tank for brewing, comprising: a fermentation tank body 2; two feed inlets 13 fixedly connected to the top sides of the fermentation tank body 2; a horizontal plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank body 2; two mounting plates 5 fixedly connected to the top sides of the horizontal plate 4; a motor 7 disposed outside the left mounting plate 5; a meshing gear 8 and a rack plate 9, the gear 8 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7; two connecting rods 10 fixedly connected to the outer sides of the rack plate 9; and two sealing covers 11. 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the two connecting rods 10; and a filter assembly, which is used to filter the fermented wine. A support block 6 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the horizontal plate 4, and a motor 7 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support block 6. The motor 7 is fixedly fixed by the support block 6. A telescopic rod 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rack plate 9. The bottom of the telescopic rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank body 2. The telescopic rod 23 assists in the movement of the rack plate 9. Through holes 12 are opened on both sides inside the horizontal plate 4. The two connecting rods 10 are slidably connected inside the two through holes 12. The movement of the connecting rods 10 is facilitated by the through holes 12.

[0038] Specifically, when the raw materials needed for brewing are poured into the fermentation tank body 2 through the two feed inlets 13, the motor 7 is started. The motor 7 drives the gear 8 fixed at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the gear 8 drives the rack plate 9 meshing with its external part to move downward. During the downward movement of the rack plate 9, the connecting rods 10 fixed on both sides of its external part also move synchronously. As the two connecting rods 10 move, the two sealing caps 11 fixed at the bottom also move downward synchronously. When the two sealing caps 11 completely cover the two feed inlets 13, the motor 7 can be turned off. This process realizes that when sealing the feed inlets 13, no manual operation is required, thereby avoiding the problems of inconsistent tightening force of the sealing caps 11, air leakage or poor sealing caused by manual operation, thus improving the fermentation quality of brewing.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The filtration assembly includes an outlet 14, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank body 2. A control valve is installed on the outside of the outlet 14. An installation block 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outlet 14. A filter shell 16 is installed on the outside of the installation block 15. A filter screen 18 is installed inside the filter shell 16. A discharge port 17 is fixedly connected to the right side of the filter shell 16. The discharge port 17 facilitates the discharge of the filtered wine. The installation block 15 has external threads on the outside, and the filter shell 16 has internal threads on the left side. The installation block 15 and the filter shell 16 are connected by threads.

[0040] Specifically, when discharging the fermented wine, firstly, align the internal thread on the left side of the filter shell 16 with the external thread on the outside of the mounting block 15. Then, tighten the filter shell 16 onto the outside of the mounting block 15. Next, open the control valve, and the wine inside the fermentation tank 2 is discharged through the outlet 14 and transported to the inside of the filter shell 16. The wine entering the filter shell 16 is filtered by the filter screen 18, which removes solid impurities (such as yeast residue, fruit pulp, grain particles, etc.) from the wine, making the wine clearer. Finally, it is discharged through the discharge port 17. This process achieves the goal of removing solid impurities (such as yeast residue, fruit pulp, grain particles, etc.) from the wine by installing a filter structure on the outside of the outlet 14 when discharging the fermented wine, thus improving the sensory quality of the wine and making it more transparent and aesthetically pleasing.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 A motor 20 is installed on the top of the fermentation tank body 2. A rotating rod 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 20. The rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected inside the fermentation tank body 2. Stirring rods 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating rod 21. The stirring rods 22 facilitate the mixing of raw materials inside the fermentation tank body 2. An installation ring 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank body 2. The motor 20 is fixedly connected inside the installation ring 19. The installation ring 19 facilitates the fixation of the motor 20. A bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the fermentation tank body 2. The bracket 1 facilitates the support of the fermentation tank body 2. An observation window 3 is installed on the outside of the fermentation tank body 2. The observation window 3 facilitates the observation of the brewing process inside the fermentation tank body 2.

[0042] Specifically, when mixing the raw materials inside the fermentation tank body 2, firstly, the motor 20 is started. The motor 20 drives the rotating rod 21 fixed at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 21 drives the stirring rods 22 fixed on both sides to rotate. The rotation of the stirring rods 22 can mix the brewing raw materials inside the fermentation tank body 2, ensuring that the sugar, nutrients and yeast in the raw materials are evenly distributed and improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0043] Working principle: When the raw materials needed for brewing are poured into the fermentation tank body 2 through the two feed inlets 13, the motor 7 is started. The motor 7 drives the gear 8 fixed at the output end to rotate. The rotation of the gear 8 drives the externally meshing rack plate 9 to move downward. When the rack plate 9 moves downward, it drives the connecting rods 10 fixed on both sides to move synchronously. When the two connecting rods 10 move, they drive the two sealing caps 11 fixed at the bottom to move downward synchronously. When the two sealing caps 11 cover the two feed inlets 13, the motor 7 can be turned off. This achieves the sealing of the feed inlets 13 without the need for manual operation by the operator, avoiding the problem of air leakage or poor sealing, thereby improving the fermentation quality of brewing.

[0044] When discharging the fermented wine, firstly, align the internal thread on the left side of the filter shell 16 with the external thread on the outside of the mounting block 15. Then, screw the filter shell 16 onto the outside of the mounting block 15. After that, open the control valve, and the wine inside the fermentation tank 2 is discharged through the outlet 14 and transported to the inside of the filter shell 16. The wine inside the filter shell 16 is filtered by the filter screen 18 and finally discharged through the discharge port 17. This achieves the goal of removing solid impurities (such as yeast residue, fruit pulp, grain particles, etc.) from the wine by installing a filtration structure on the outside of the outlet 14 when discharging the fermented wine, making the wine clearer, improving its sensory quality, and making it more transparent and beautiful.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
