[0024] The coffee fermentation collection device includes: a fermentation chamber 1, inside which a container 2 for holding coffee beans is rotatably installed, the container 2 having multiple holes; an inlet / outlet 3 for the container 2 to enter and exit, the inlet / outlet 3 being located on the top of the fermentation chamber 1, and the inlet / outlet 3 being covered with a sealing cap 4; an automatic cleaning mechanism, located on the fermentation chamber 1, for rinsing the mucus on the surface of the coffee beans; and a drainage mechanism, located on the fermentation chamber 1, for draining fermentation liquid and cleaning wastewater. The rotation of the rotatable container 2 and the holes in the container 2 allow the cleaning water to contact the coffee beans more evenly and comprehensively, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the surface mucus of the coffee beans and ensuring the quality of the coffee beans. The sealing cap 4 on the inlet / outlet 3 ensures a good sealed environment during fermentation, which is beneficial to the fermentation of the coffee beans.

This can remove the mucus film more quickly and thoroughly, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and shortening the processing time of the coffee beans.

[0026] The drainage mechanism includes a discharge pipe 9, a three-way solenoid valve 10, a drainage pipe 11, and a waste pipe 12. The discharge pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The three-way solenoid valve 10 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the discharge pipe 9. The drainage pipe 11 and the waste pipe 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the two discharge ends of the three-way solenoid valve 10. The three-way solenoid valve 10 can guide the fermentation liquid and the cleaning wastewater to different pipes for discharge according to different needs, which is beneficial for the recycling of the fermentation liquid and also facilitates the separate treatment of the cleaning wastewater.

[0027] The waste discharge pipe 12 is equipped with a filter box 13, and an activated carbon adsorption plate 14 is detachably installed inside the filter box 13. The activated carbon adsorption plate 14 is equipped with a filter cloth 15. Through the activated carbon adsorption plate 14 and the filter cloth 15 inside the filter box 13, the washing wastewater generated during the coffee bean processing can be filtered and purified in multiple stages, reducing the pollutant content in the wastewater and reducing environmental pollution.

[0028] A rotating motor 16 is fixedly installed on the sealing cover 4, and a rotating rod 17 is rotatably installed on the sealing cover 4. One end of the rotating rod 17 extends into the fermentation box 1 and is detachably connected to the holding container 2. One end of the rotating rod 17 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 16 through a coupling. The rotating motor 16 drives the rotating rod 17 and the holding container 2 to rotate, which can rinse the mucus on the surface of the coffee beans in the holding container 2 from various angles to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0029] A hydraulic rod 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the fermentation tank 1. The output rod of the hydraulic rod 18 is connected to the sealing cover 4. The hydraulic rod 18 can automatically drive the opening and closing of the sealing cover 4, reducing labor intensity and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0030] A guide cylinder 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the fermentation tank 1, and a guide rod 20 is slidably installed on the guide cylinder 19. The top end of the guide rod 20 is connected to the sealing cover 4. The cooperation between the guide cylinder 19 and the guide rod 20 provides stable guidance for the movement of the sealing cover 4.

[0031] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0032] The working principle of the coffee fermentation collection device provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0033] This solution also includes an electrical control cabinet, which is installed on the equipment. During use, each piece of electrical equipment can be started and operated separately through the electrical control cabinet. The power connection method of each piece of electrical equipment is an existing mature technology and is well known to those in the field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0034] When in use, start the hydraulic rod 18, the output rod of the hydraulic rod 18 extends, lifts the sealing cover 4, removes the container 2 from the fermentation box 1, puts the coffee beans to be fermented into the container 2, starts the hydraulic rod 18 again, the output rod of the hydraulic rod 18 retracts, puts the container 2 back into the fermentation box 1, and puts in a certain amount of fermentation aid.

[0035] During the fermentation process, a certain amount of fermentation liquid will be produced. The fermentation liquid leaks out from the hole on the container 2. The three-way solenoid valve 10 is opened, so that the three-way solenoid valve 10 is switched to the state of connecting the discharge pipe 9 and the drain pipe 11. Under the action of gravity, the fermentation liquid at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 flows through the discharge pipe 9 through the three-way solenoid valve 10, and then through the drain pipe 11 to the designated fermentation liquid collection container or processing area.

[0036] After fermentation, a sticky film remains on the surface of the coffee beans. The water inlet pipe 6 is connected to an external water source, and the suction pump 5 is turned on. The suction pump 5 begins to work, and the water, under pressure, is then transported to the fermentation chamber 1 through the outlet pipe 7. Water is sprayed at high speed from multiple nozzles 8, forming multiple powerful water jets. These water jets from the nozzles 8 comprehensively impact the surface of the coffee beans in the container 2 inside the fermentation chamber 1. During this process, the rotating motor 16 is started. The output shaft of the rotating motor 16 drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate via a coupling. Since the container 2 is detachably connected to the rotating rod 17, the container 2 rotates along with it inside the fermentation chamber 1. Combined with the water jets from the nozzles 8, this effectively washes the sticky film on the surface of the coffee beans from various angles. After cleaning... A large amount of cleaning wastewater will remain in the fermentation tank 1. The control system sends a command to the three-way solenoid valve 10 to switch the three-way solenoid valve 10 to connect the discharge pipe 9 and the waste discharge pipe 12. The cleaning wastewater, under the action of gravity, flows from the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 through the discharge pipe 9, the three-way solenoid valve 10, and finally through the waste discharge pipe 12. The wastewater will first flow into the filter box 13 on the waste discharge pipe 12. After the wastewater enters the filter box 13, the filter cloth 15 intercepts the fine suspended solids in the wastewater. The activated carbon adsorption plate 14 uses its porous structure to adsorb the odor, some organic pollutants and some small particulate impurities in the wastewater. The wastewater after being treated by the activated carbon adsorption plate 14 and the filter cloth 15 flows out from the outlet of the filter box 13.

[0037] Compared with related technologies, the coffee fermentation collection device provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] This invention provides a coffee fermentation collection device. The rotation of the rotatable container 2 and the holes in the container 2 allow the washing water to contact the coffee beans more evenly and comprehensively, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the surface film of the coffee beans and ensuring the quality of the coffee beans. The inlet and outlet 3 are equipped with sealing caps 4, ensuring a good sealed environment during fermentation, which is conducive to the fermentation of coffee beans. The suction pump 5 provides sufficient pressure to the water flow, causing water to be sprayed at high speed from multiple nozzles 8, forming a powerful water flow that impacts the surface film of the coffee beans, removing the film more quickly and thoroughly, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and shortening the processing time of the coffee beans. A three-way solenoid valve 10 can guide the fermentation liquid and washing wastewater to different locations according to different needs. Discharge through the same pipeline facilitates the recycling of fermentation liquid and also allows for separate treatment of cleaning wastewater. The activated carbon adsorption plate 14 and filter cloth 15 in the filter box 13 can perform multi-stage filtration and purification of the cleaning wastewater generated during coffee bean processing, reducing the pollutant content in the wastewater and minimizing environmental pollution. The rotating motor 16 drives the rotating rod 17 and the holding tank 2 to rotate, which can wash the mucus film on the surface of the coffee beans in the holding tank 2 from various angles to ensure the cleaning effect. The hydraulic rod 18 can automatically drive the opening and closing of the sealing cover 4, reducing labor intensity and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation. The guide cylinder 19 and guide rod 20 provide stable guidance for the movement of the sealing cover 4.
