Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice wine production equipment, specifically to a three-in-one fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of Shaoxing wine, soaking, steaming, and fermentation of rice are essential steps. The current production process involves these three steps being carried out in three separate sets of equipment. This necessitates transferring materials to the next stage after each step, thus extending the overall production process and requiring the space of three sets of equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This utility model aims to provide a three-in-one fermentation tank, the specific solution of which is as follows:

[0004] A three-in-one fermentation tank includes a frame, a fermentation tank, and a lid rack. A lid is slidably mounted on the lid rack. A steam pipe is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank. The fermentation tank includes a cuboid section and a trapezoidal section. Several grid plates (with several evenly distributed openings) are provided at the junction of the cuboid section and the trapezoidal section. A water spraying mechanism is provided on the frame.

[0005] The frame is equipped with a track, and a water spraying mechanism is mounted on the track. The water spraying mechanism can move on the track, thereby spraying water relatively evenly.

[0006] The water spraying mechanism includes a motor that drives a rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft has rotating wheels at both ends, and the rotating wheels are configured to cooperate with a track.

[0007] A fixed frame is provided on the rotating shaft, and a water spray component is provided on the fixed frame. The water spray component is equipped with a water pipe, and water nozzles are evenly distributed on the water spray component. The evenly distributed water nozzles on the water spray component are for more uniform water spraying.

[0008] The fermentation tank is equipped with a water outlet pipe at the bottom.

[0009] The mesh panel is equipped with a handle. The handle design makes it easy to grip the mesh panel for rinsing, etc.

[0010] This utility model discloses a three-in-one fermentation tank that can simultaneously achieve fermentation, steaming, and soaking, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing the footprint of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The following is combined Figure 1-3 Further explanation:

[0016] A three-in-one fermentation tank includes a frame 1, a fermentation tank 2, and a lid rack 3. A lid 4 is slidably mounted on the lid rack 3 (it can be slid manually or by a linear motor or cylinder). A steam pipe 5 is provided at the bottom of the fermentation tank 2. The fermentation tank 2 includes a cuboid segment 21 and a trapezoidal segment 22. Several grid plates 6 (with several openings evenly distributed) are provided at the junction of the cuboid segment 21 and the trapezoidal segment 22. A water spraying mechanism 7 is provided on the frame 1.

[0017] The frame 1 is equipped with a track 11, and a water spraying mechanism 7 is mounted on the track 11. The water spraying mechanism 7 can move on the track 11, thereby spraying water relatively evenly. The water spraying mechanism 7 includes a motor 71, which drives a rotating shaft 72 to rotate. Rotating wheels 73 are located at both ends of the rotating shaft 72, and the rotating wheels 73 are configured to cooperate with the track 11. A fixed frame 74 is mounted on the rotating shaft 72, and a water spraying element 75 is mounted on the fixed frame 74. A water pipe 76 is mounted on the water spraying element 75, and water nozzles 77 are evenly distributed on the water spraying element 75. The evenly distributed water nozzles 77 on the water spraying element 75 are for more even water spraying.

[0018] The fermentation tank 2 is equipped with a water outlet pipe 8 at the bottom.

[0019] The mesh plate 6 is equipped with a handle 61. The handle 61 is designed to make it easy to grip the mesh plate 6 for rinsing, etc.

[0020] This utility model discloses a three-in-one fermentation tank that can simultaneously achieve fermentation, steaming, and soaking, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing the equipment's footprint. In practice, workers first put rice into the fermentation tank 2, then the water spraying device 7 sprays water to soak the rice. After soaking, the water flows out from the outlet pipe 8, and then the tank lid 4 is closed (in practice, the lid does not need to be completely sealed). The steam pipe 5 is then opened to steam the rice. After steaming, the rice can be allowed to cool down before water is sprayed again through the water spraying device 7, and yeast and other ingredients are added for fermentation. After the pre-fermentation is completed (pre-fermentation generally only takes 3-5 days), the material is then transported to the post-fermentation device.

[0021] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
