Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acetic acid fermentation technology, specifically to an acetic acid fermentation platform for producing buckwheat vinegar. Background Technology

[0002] The modern acetic acid fermentation station is the core equipment for producing buckwheat vinegar. By precisely controlling the fermentation environment at 30-35℃ and using an intelligent stirring device, it accelerates the transformation of buckwheat mash by acetic acid bacteria, shortens the fermentation cycle, and preserves the unique flavor substances of buckwheat, achieving an efficient integration of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.

[0003] Existing acetic acid fermentation platforms for buckwheat vinegar production mostly convert buckwheat alcohol fermentation products into acetic acid through microbial metabolism, environmental control, and process synergy, thus imparting a unique flavor to the vinegar. In northern factories with lower temperatures, the temperature control mechanism within the acetic acid fermentation platform is crucial. However, the temperature sensors in existing platforms are mostly fixed to the bottom of the fermentation tank, only monitoring the temperature at the bottom. In actual use, the uneven temperature distribution within the fermentation tank means that localized areas of excessively low temperature cannot be detected, and targeted heating of specific areas is impossible, affecting the overall fermentation rate and consequently the quality and taste of the fermented product. To address these shortcomings, this invention provides an acetic acid fermentation platform for producing buckwheat vinegar, solving the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] This utility model embodiment discloses an acetic acid fermentation platform for producing buckwheat vinegar, according to the appendix. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0029] The fermentation tank 1 is equipped with a motor body 14. The fermentation tank 1 serves as the container for the entire acetic acid fermentation, providing a closed space environment for the fermentation of buckwheat vinegar and ensuring that the fermentation process takes place under suitable conditions. The motor body 14 provides power to the reduction unit 2, which drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate, thereby realizing functions such as stirring.

[0030] The speed reduction unit 2 is located on the top of the fermentation tank 1. The function of the speed reduction unit 2 is to convert the high-speed rotation output by the motor body 14 into a low-speed rotation suitable for the rotation of the rotating rod 4, so as to meet the appropriate speed requirements of stirring during the fermentation process.

[0031] The deceleration unit 2 includes:

[0032] The first transmission wheel 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor body 14;

[0033] The second transmission wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 4;

[0034] The transmission belt 23 is connected between the first transmission pulley 21 and the second transmission pulley 22.

[0035] According to the appendix Figure 2 As shown, furthermore, the rotating rod 4 is installed inside the fermentation tank 1, and the stirring rod 41 fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating rod 4 can stir the raw materials in the fermentation tank 1 as the rotating rod 4 rotates, so that the raw materials are mixed evenly and the fermentation reaction is promoted. The track body 42 installed inside the rotating rod 4 provides a sliding track for the adjusting ring 6 and the temperature sensor 61, ensuring that they can move stably under the drive of the drive unit 5;

[0036] The bottom of the fermentation tank 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 3 and the support leg 11. The discharge pipe 3 is equipped with an electromagnetic valve 31. The discharge pipe 3 is used to discharge buckwheat vinegar after fermentation. The electromagnetic valve 31 can control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 3 to realize the automatic control of the discharge. The upper end of the fermentation tank 1 is equipped with a feed pipe 13.

[0037] Multiple sets of heating wires 12 are installed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1. The heating wires 12 are used to heat the inside of the fermentation tank 1 to meet the temperature requirements during the fermentation process.

[0038] According to the appendix Figure 3 As shown, further, the adjusting ring 6 is set inside the rotating rod 4, and a temperature sensor 61 is fixedly connected to the adjusting ring 6;

[0039] The drive unit 5 includes a servo motor 51 disposed on the top of the fermentation tank 1. A threaded rod 52 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 51. The threaded rod 52 is threadedly connected to the adjusting ring 6. The drive unit 5 is used to drive the temperature sensor 61.

[0040] A stirring rod 41 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating rod 4. A track body 42 is set inside the rotating rod 4. The adjusting ring 6 and the temperature sensor 61 are slidably connected inside the track body 42.

[0041] A connecting plate 511 is fixedly connected between the second transmission wheel 22 and the servo motor 51.

[0042] Working principle: An appropriate amount of fermentation raw materials such as buckwheat are added into the fermentation tank 1 through the feed pipe 13 at the upper end of the fermentation tank 1. Then, the motor body 14 is started. The output end of the motor body 14 drives the first transmission wheel 21 to rotate at high speed. The first transmission wheel 21 drives the second transmission wheel 22 to rotate through the transmission belt 23. Since the second transmission wheel 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating rod 4 and is decelerated by the reduction unit 2, the rotating rod 4 rotates at a suitable low speed. When the rotating rod 4 rotates, the stirring rod 41 on its outer peripheral wall rotates accordingly, which fully stirs the raw materials in the fermentation tank 1 and makes the raw materials evenly mixed.

[0043] The heating wire 12 on the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 starts working to heat the inside of the fermentation tank 1. At the same time, the servo motor 51 in the drive unit 5 is started. The output end of the servo motor 51 drives the threaded rod 52 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 52 is threadedly connected to the adjusting ring 6, and the adjusting ring 6 is slidably connected in the track body 42 inside the rotating rod 4, the adjusting ring 6 will move up and down along the track body 42 under the drive of the threaded rod 52. When the adjusting ring 6 moves, it drives the temperature sensor 61 fixedly connected to it to move together. The temperature sensor 61 monitors the temperature at different positions inside the fermentation tank 1 in real time and feeds the temperature signal back to the control system. The control system controls the heating power of the heating wire 12 according to the signal fed back by the temperature sensor 61, thereby controlling the temperature inside the fermentation tank 1 within a suitable fermentation temperature range.
