[0004] When this utility model is in use, the interior cannot be observed or sampled after it is sealed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corrosion-resistant sealing assembly for brewing cellars to solve the problems mentioned in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a corrosion-resistant brewing cellar sealing assembly, comprising a brewing cellar and a sealing assembly: a water seal trough is installed at the upper end of the brewing cellar, a liquid level pipe is installed on one side of the water seal trough, the sealing assembly is fastened to the bottom of the upper side of the brewing cellar and extends into the water seal trough, a suspension mechanism is installed in the middle of the upper end of the sealing assembly, a sampling port is installed on one side of the sealing assembly, a sealing plate is rotatably installed on the upper side of the sampling port, a glass window is provided on the upper side of the sealing plate, and the glass window is pasted to the upper side of the sealing plate with adhesive.

[0007] Preferably, the glass window is made of acrylic glass.

[0008] Preferably, the suspension mechanism consists of a hanging ring and a bearing, with the bearing installed in the middle of the upper end of the cover and the hanging ring rotatably mounted on the upper side of the bearing.

[0009] Preferably, a self-cleaning layer is provided on the outer side of the glass window, and the self-cleaning layer is a nano-silicon coating layer.

[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the cover is provided with a corrosion-resistant layer, which is a chrome-plated layer.

[0011] Preferably, a cover plate is provided around the lower perimeter of the cover, the cover plate is welded to the outside of the cover, and the cover plate is on the upper side of the water seal groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The sampling port on one side of the cap can be used for sampling without opening the entire cap. When sampling, rotate to open the cap and close the cap after sampling. The glass window on the upper part of the cap is glued to the top, which allows the operator to directly observe the fermentation inside the pit without opening the cap, thus reducing interference with the environment inside the pit.

[0014] 2. When it is necessary to move or open the cover, the lifting equipment can hook the hanging ring. The bearing setting allows the hanging ring to rotate freely relative to the cover. In this way, during the lifting process, no matter how the pulling force of the lifting equipment changes, the hanging ring can rotate and adjust the angle accordingly, avoiding unnecessary torque force on the cover, ensuring the stability of the lifting process, preventing the cover from being damaged due to uneven force, and also facilitating precise positioning and operation of the cover.

[0015] 3. Nano-silicon coating has good hydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties. When dust, water vapor, or droplets generated during the brewing process adhere to the outside of the glass window, the water will form water droplets and roll off under the action of the self-cleaning layer, while taking away the dust and other impurities on the surface, reducing the adhesion of stains on the glass window surface. This not only maintains the light transmittance of the glass window and ensures that operators can clearly observe the inside of the cellar, but also reduces the frequency of manual cleaning and reduces the risk of wear and corrosion to the glass window during the cleaning process.

[0016] 4. The cover plate can shield and protect the water seal tank, preventing external dust and debris from falling into the water seal tank and avoiding water contamination that would affect the water seal effect. At the same time, the cover plate is welded to the outside of the cover and moves with the cover. During the opening or closing of the cover, it always shields the water seal tank, ensuring the cleanliness of the environment inside the water seal tank and maintaining the good sealing performance of the water seal structure.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a corrosion-resistant brewing cellar sealing assembly comprises a brewing cellar 1 and a sealing cover 2. A water seal trough 3 is installed at the upper end of the brewing cellar 1, and a liquid level pipe 12 is installed on one side of the water seal trough 3. The sealing cover 2 is fastened to the bottom of the upper side of the brewing cellar 1 and extends into the water seal trough 3. A suspension mechanism 8 is installed in the middle of the upper end of the sealing cover 2. A sampling port 13 is installed on one side of the sealing cover 2, and a sealing plate 6 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the sampling port 13. A glass window 5 is provided on the upper side of the sealing plate 6, and the glass window 5 is adhered to the upper side of the sealing plate 6 with adhesive. The glass window 5 is made of acrylic glass. Acrylic material has good light transmittance, which can meet the needs of operators to observe the inside of the cellar through the glass window 5. At the same time, compared with ordinary glass, acrylic glass has better impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and is not easily damaged by collision or contact with corrosive substances generated during the brewing process in the brewing environment, thus extending the service life of the glass window 5 and ensuring the long-term stability of the observation function.

[0025] The suspension mechanism 8 consists of a hanging ring 9 and a bearing 10. The bearing 10 is installed in the middle of the upper end of the cover 2, and the hanging ring 9 is rotatably installed on the upper side of the bearing 10. When it is necessary to move or open the cover 2, the hanging ring 9 can be hooked by the lifting equipment. The setting of the bearing 10 allows the hanging ring 9 to rotate freely relative to the cover 2. In this way, during the lifting process, no matter how the pulling force of the lifting equipment changes, the hanging ring 9 can rotate and adjust the angle accordingly, avoiding unnecessary torque force on the cover 2, ensuring the stability of the lifting process, preventing the cover 2 from being damaged due to uneven force, and also facilitating the precise positioning and operation of the cover 2.

[0026] A self-cleaning layer 7 is provided on the outside of the glass window 5. The self-cleaning layer 7 is a nano-silicon coating layer. The nano-silicon coating has good hydrophobicity and self-cleaning properties. When dust, water vapor or droplets generated during the brewing process adhere to the outside of the glass window 5, the water will form water droplets and roll off under the action of the self-cleaning layer 7, while taking away the dust and other impurities on the surface, reducing the adhesion of stains on the surface of the glass window 5. This not only maintains the light transmittance of the glass window 5 and ensures that operators can clearly observe the inside of the cellar, but also reduces the frequency of manual cleaning and reduces the risk of wear and corrosion to the glass window 5 during the cleaning process.

[0027] A corrosion-resistant layer 4 is provided on the outside of the cap 2. The corrosion-resistant layer 4 is a chromium-plated layer. Chromium has strong chemical stability and can form a dense oxide film in the air, preventing the metal inside the cap 2 from contacting external corrosive substances such as acid mist and water vapor generated during the brewing process. The chromium-plated layer can effectively isolate the cap 2 from the corrosive medium, thereby protecting the cap 2 from corrosion and extending the service life of the cap 2.

[0028] A cover plate 11 is provided around the lower perimeter of the cover 2. The cover plate 11 is welded to the outside of the cover 2 and is located on the upper side of the water seal trough 3. The cover plate 11 can shield and protect the water seal trough 3, preventing external dust, debris and other objects from falling into the water seal trough 3 and avoiding contamination of the water in the water seal trough 3, which would affect the water seal effect. At the same time, the cover plate 11 is welded to the outside of the cover 2 and moves with the cover 2. During the opening or closing of the cover 2, it always shields the water seal trough 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the environment inside the water seal trough 3 and maintaining the good sealing performance of the water seal structure.

[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: A certain amount of water can be injected into the water seal trough 3 installed at the upper end of the brewing cellar 1. When the cover 2 is placed on the upper side of the brewing cellar 1, the bottom end of the cover 2 extends into the water in the water seal trough 3, forming a water-sealed environment, which can effectively prevent gas exchange between the inside and outside of the cellar and ensure the stability of the anaerobic environment required for brewing in the cellar. The sampling port 13 on one side of the cover 2 can be used for sampling without opening the entire cover 2. When sampling, rotate to open the sealing plate 6, and close the sealing plate 6 after sampling. The glass window 5 on the upper side of the sealing plate 6 is glued with adhesive, which allows the operator to directly observe the fermentation inside the cellar without opening the sealing plate 6, reducing interference with the environment inside the cellar.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the 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 this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
