By layering the sauerkraut, all the sauerkraut is fully immersed in brine, ensuring effective fermentation.
[0003] However, the device has certain shortcomings in use. The accumulation of sauerkraut on the perforated plate inside the fermentation tank still affects the fermentation efficiency of the sauerkraut. At the same time, the gas produced by fermentation inside the fermentation tank is not easy to be discharged from the inside. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency sauerkraut fermentation tank, which solves the problem that the accumulation of sauerkraut on the perforated plate inside the fermentation tank still affects the fermentation efficiency, and at the same time, the gas generated during fermentation inside the fermentation tank is not easy to be discharged from the inside.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency sauerkraut fermentation tank, comprising a fermentation tank, wherein a support column is provided inside the fermentation tank, a perforated plate is connected to the outside of the support column via a bearing, a support plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support column, a slider is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate, the slider is slidably connected to the fermentation tank, a cover plate is threadedly connected to the outside of the fermentation tank, a loosening mechanism is provided on the fermentation tank, and an exhaust mechanism is provided on the cover plate.
[0006] The loosening mechanism includes a frame, which is installed inside the fermentation tank. A support is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame, and the support is movably connected to the fermentation tank. An inclined block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support, and a top block is fixedly connected to the surface of the support. The top block is slidably connected to a perforated plate. A motor is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the cover plate. The motor's shaft passes through the cover plate and is rotatably connected to it. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the motor's shaft, and a lever is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate. The motor drives the connecting plate to rotate, which in turn causes the frame to rotate, causing the support to rotate. This causes the inclined block and the stop block to contact each other, and the top block to lift the sauerkraut, preventing the sauerkraut from piling up too tightly and affecting the fermentation efficiency.
[0007] Preferably, a stop block is fixedly connected inside the fermenter, and the stop block and the inclined block are slidably connected. By setting the stop block, the inclined block is limited in position.
[0008] Preferably, the exhaust mechanism includes an exhaust pipe, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the cover plate. A sealing plate is slidably connected to the inside of the exhaust pipe, and a pressure plate is slidably connected to the inside of the exhaust pipe. A compression spring is installed inside the exhaust pipe, and a screw is mounted inside the exhaust pipe via a bearing. A screw cylinder is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw, and the screw cylinder and pressure plate are fixedly connected. By rotating the screw and screw cylinder to perform threaded movement, the pressure plate moves downward, which in turn causes the compression spring to elastically press down on the sealing plate. This change in the pressure on the sealing plate allows the compression spring to push the sealing plate back to its original position, facilitating the discharge of gas from the fermenter.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the sealing plate, and the other end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the pressure plate. By setting the compression spring, the sealing plate is elastically compressed.
[0010] Preferably, a sliding pin is fixedly connected to the surface of the screw barrel, and the sliding pin is slidably connected to the air outlet pipe. The sliding pin guides the movement of the screw barrel.
[0011] Preferably, an activated carbon ring is slidably connected to the outer side of the exhaust pipe, and the activated carbon ring is in contact with the cover plate. By setting the activated carbon ring, odors in the exhaust gas are absorbed.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive the connecting plate to rotate the lever, which in turn causes the frame to rotate the support, which in turn causes the inclined block and the stop block to contact each other, and then the top block to push the sauerkraut, thus preventing the sauerkraut from piling up too tightly and affecting the fermentation efficiency of the sauerkraut.
[0014] 2. This utility model uses the rotation of the screw and the screw barrel to make a spiral motion, which causes the pressure plate to move downward, and then the pressure spring to elastically press down on the sealing plate, causing the pressure on the sealing plate to change. The pressure spring can push the sealing plate to reset, making it easier for the gas in the fermenter to be discharged. Attached Figure Description

A support 72 is fixedly connected to the outside of the frame 71, and the support 72 is movably connected to the fermentation tank 1. An inclined block 73 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support 72. A stop block 74 is fixedly connected inside the fermentation tank 1, and the stop block 74 and the inclined block 73 are slidably connected. By setting the stop block 74, the inclined block 73 is limited. A top block 75 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support 72, and the top block 75 is slidably connected to the perforated plate 3. The upper end of the cover plate 6... A motor 76 is fixedly installed in the middle. The shaft of the motor 76 passes through the cover plate 6 and is rotatably connected to the cover plate 6. A connecting plate 77 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shaft of the motor 76. A lever 78 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 77. The motor 76 drives the connecting plate 77 to drive the lever 78 to rotate, which in turn causes the frame 71 to drive the support 72 to rotate, which in turn causes the inclined block 73 and the stop block 74 to contact, which in turn causes the top block 75 to push the sauerkraut, thus preventing the sauerkraut from piling up too tightly and affecting the fermentation efficiency of the sauerkraut.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 The exhaust mechanism 8 includes an exhaust pipe 81. The exhaust pipe 81 is fixedly connected inside the cover plate 6. A sealing plate 82 is slidably connected inside the exhaust pipe 81. A pressure plate 83 is slidably connected inside the exhaust pipe 81. A compression spring 84 is installed inside the exhaust pipe 81. One end of the compression spring 84 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 82, and the other end of the compression spring 84 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 83. By setting the compression spring 84, the sealing plate 82 is elastically compressed. A screw 85 is installed inside the exhaust pipe 81 via a bearing.

The cover plate 6 and the fermentation tank 1 are connected by threads. Then, the motor 76 is started, and the motor 76 drives the connecting plate 77 to rotate. The connecting plate 77 drives the lever 78 to move, so that the lever 78 contacts the frame 71. This causes the frame 71 to drive the support 72 to rotate, and the support 72 drives the inclined block 73 to move, so that the inclined block 73 contacts the stop block 74. This causes the support 72 to move upward, and the support 72 drives the top block... The top block 75 moves upward, causing the sauerkraut to be pushed upward, thus preventing the sauerkraut from being piled up too tightly, which would affect the fermentation efficiency. The gas generated during fermentation in the fermentation tank 1 pushes the sealing plate 82 upward, allowing the gas in the fermentation tank 1 to be discharged from the opening on the side wall of the gas outlet pipe 81. By rotating the screw 85 and the screw cylinder 86 to make a spiral motion, the pressure plate 83 moves downward, which in turn causes the pressure spring 84 to elastically press down on the sealing plate 82, causing the pressure on the sealing plate 82 to change. The pressure spring 84 can push the sealing plate 82 to reset, making it easier for the gas in the fermentation tank 1 to be discharged.
