Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of fermentation tank technology, specifically a radish strip fermentation storage tank that is easy to handle. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional radish fermentation tanks lack internal structures, causing radish strips to be directly stacked and difficult to retrieve. In some tanks with partitions, the fermentation liquid inside the tank can easily cause the radish strips to float up and detach from the partitions (losing the stratification effect and still making them difficult to retrieve). To address this, we propose a radish strip fermentation storage tank that is easy to retrieve. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this patent is to provide a radish strip fermentation storage tank that is easy to pick up and put down. This patent uses adjustable placement rings (mesh ring, retaining ring, and internally threaded ring) to support radish strips in layers, eliminating the need to search directly in the fermentation liquid and greatly improving the convenience of picking up and putting down the radish strips. By adjusting the position of the mesh ring through the internally threaded ring, the upper mesh ring can be moved down to be close to the lower retaining ring, and the retaining ring is used to block the radish strips and prevent them from floating and falling off the supporting structure.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this patent to solve its technical problem is: a radish strip fermentation storage tank that is easy to pick up and put in, including a tank body, a lid fastened to the top of the tank body, a sealing layer fixedly installed at the bottom of the lid, and a lock installed at both the left and right ends of the lid. The lid is fixed to the tank body by the lock, and the bottom of the sealing layer is tightly attached to the top of the tank body.

[0005] A one-way valve is embedded in the top of the cover, and a threaded rod is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the cover. A placement ring is screwed onto the threaded rod, and there are multiple placement rings.

[0006] The placement ring includes a mesh ring, an internally threaded ring is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mesh ring, a retaining ring is fixedly installed at the top edge of the mesh ring, and a top plate is screwed onto the side wall of the threaded rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the retaining ring does not contact the inner wall of the tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall of the bottom retaining ring is integrally formed with a scraper ring, and the outer wall of the scraper ring is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the tank.

[0009] Furthermore, the one-way valve includes a valve body, which is embedded in the top right side of the cover. A fixing ring is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the inner wall of the valve body. A ball groove is provided on the top of the fixing ring. An orifice plate is fixedly installed on the top side of the inner wall of the valve body. A spring is fixedly installed on the bottom of the orifice plate. A connecting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the spring. A valve ball is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting plate. A silicone layer is provided on the outside of the valve ball. The silicone layer is tightly attached to the ball groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the left and right ends of the connecting plate are equipped with limit wheels via wheel seats, and the left and right ends of the inner sidewall of the valve body are provided with wheel grooves, with the edge of the limit wheel being rolled and installed in the wheel groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the wheel groove is in an open state.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this patent are:

[0013] 1. This patent uses adjustable placement rings (net ring, retaining ring, internal threaded ring) to support radish strips in layers, eliminating the need to search directly in the fermentation liquid and greatly improving the convenience of picking up and putting down. By adjusting the position of the net ring through the internal threaded ring, the upper net ring can be moved down to be close to the lower retaining ring, and the retaining ring can be used to block the radish strips and prevent them from floating away from the supporting structure.

[0018] The present patent is further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this patent, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to this patent, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0019] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this patent. A fermented storage tank for radish strips that is easy to pick up and put in includes a tank body 1. A lid 2 is fastened to the top of the tank body 1. A sealing layer is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lid 2. Locks are installed at both ends of the lid 2. The lid 2 is fixed to the tank body 1 by the locks. The bottom of the sealing layer is tightly attached to the top of the tank body 1.

[0020] This easy-to-use radish strip fermentation storage jar is suitable for home and small workshop use. The jar body 1 has an inner diameter of 280-320mm, a height of 400-450mm, a wall thickness of 1.5-2mm, and a capacity of approximately 20-25L. The lid body 2 has a diameter of 300-340mm, a thickness of 3-4mm, and an edge height of 10-12mm. It can completely cover the top of the jar and has a pre-installed locking position. A sealing layer with a thickness of 3-5mm and a diameter consistent with the bottom of the lid is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lid to ensure a good seal. The locking buckles installed at both ends of the lid can fix the lid to the jar, so that the sealing layer fits tightly against the top of the jar.

[0021] A one-way valve 3 is embedded in the top of the cover 2, and a threaded rod 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the cover 2. A placement ring 5 is screwed onto the threaded rod 4, and there are multiple placement rings 5.

[0022] The adjustment and placement components are the key structures for achieving layered placement of radish strips. The threaded rod 4 is made of 304 stainless steel, with a diameter of 16-18mm, a length of 350-400mm, and a pitch of 2-3mm. It can be fitted with an internal threaded ring for position adjustment. There are 3-5 placement rings 5, each 25-30mm high, allowing for layered placement of radish strips with adjustable spacing. Each placement ring includes a mesh ring 6, an internal threaded ring 7, and a retaining ring 8. The mesh ring 6 has an outer diameter of 270-310mm (10mm smaller than the inner diameter of the tank to avoid scratching the tank wall), a mesh diameter of 5-8mm, and a wall thickness of 1mm. The internal threaded ring 7 has an inner diameter matching the threaded rod, a height of 15-20mm, is integrally formed with the mesh ring, and is made of 304 stainless steel. The retaining ring 8 has a height of 10-15mm and a wall thickness of 1mm, and is higher than the mesh ring to prevent the radish strips from floating out. The top plate 9... With a diameter of 20-22mm and a thickness of 3mm, it can fix the top layer of the ring to prevent it from shifting; the scraper ring 10, which is integrally formed on the outer wall of the bottom retaining ring, is made of silicone, with an outer diameter consistent with the inner diameter of the tank and a thickness of 5mm, and fits the tank wall to easily scrape off impurities.

[0023] The placement ring 5 includes a mesh ring 6, an internal threaded ring 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the mesh ring 6, a retaining ring 8 is fixedly installed at the top edge of the mesh ring 6, and a top plate 9 is screwed onto the side wall of the threaded rod 4.

[0024] Traditional radish fermentation tanks have no internal structure; the radish strips are simply thrown into the tank, making them difficult to retrieve. Some tanks have internal partitions, which prevent the radish strips from piling up and make them easier to put in and take out. However, the fermentation liquid inside the tank can cause the radish strips to float up and detach from the partitions, making them difficult to retrieve later.

[0025] By setting the internal threaded ring 7, the position of the mesh ring 6 can be easily adjusted, thereby moving the upper mesh ring 6 closer to the lower retaining ring 8, preventing the radish strips inside the lower retaining ring 8 from floating out.

[0026] Specifically, the outer wall of the retaining ring 8 does not contact the inner wall of the tank body 1.

[0027] Specifically, the outer wall of the bottom retaining ring 8 is integrally formed with a scraper ring 10, and the outer wall of the scraper ring 10 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the tank body 1.

[0028] The scraper ring 10 is designed to remove foam and other impurities adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1 by scraping the outer wall of the scraper ring 10 after the radish strips are removed, which facilitates the subsequent cleaning of the tank 1.

[0029] Specifically, the one-way valve 3 includes a valve body 11, which is embedded in the top right side of the cover 2. A fixing ring 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the inner wall of the valve body 11. A ball groove is provided on the top of the fixing ring 12. An orifice plate 13 is fixedly installed on the top side of the inner wall of the valve body 11. A spring 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the orifice plate 13. A connecting plate 15 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the spring 14. A valve ball 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting plate 15. A silicone layer 17 is provided on the outside of the valve ball 16. The silicone layer 17 is tightly attached to the ball groove.

[0030] All check valve components meet food-grade requirements. Valve body 11 is made of 304 stainless steel, with an inner diameter of 25-30mm, height of 40-50mm, and wall thickness of 2mm, and is embedded in the top of the cover. The retaining ring 12 has an inner diameter of 15-18mm and a thickness of 3mm, with a 5-6mm deep ball groove on top to accommodate the valve ball. The orifice plate 13 has the same diameter as the valve body's inner diameter, with a center hole diameter of 8-10mm, and is made of 304 stainless steel to secure the spring. The spring 14 is made of 304 stainless steel, with a wire diameter of 1.5-2mm, an outer diameter of 8-10mm, and a free length of 20-25mm. Its opening pressure is ≤0.03MPa (parameter verification required from the supplier), and its initial compression is 5-8mm. The compression effect creates downward pressure on the valve ball to ensure a seal. The valve ball 16 has a diameter of 12-15mm, a 304 stainless steel core, and is wrapped with a 2-3mm thick food-grade silicone layer 17, which tightly fits the ball groove. The connecting plate 15... The limiting wheels 18, which are mounted on the left and right ends via wheel seats, are made of nylon, with a diameter of 8-10mm and a thickness of 3mm. The wheel grooves 19, which are provided on the left and right ends of the inner wall of the valve body, are 9-11mm wide and 4-5mm deep. The edge of the limiting wheel is rolled in the wheel groove, which can limit the movement trajectory of the connecting plate and the valve ball (only up and down movement). The top of the wheel groove is open to facilitate the installation of the limiting wheel. All tank components are made of materials that strictly adhere to safety standards. Components in contact with food / fermentation liquid (tank body, lid, threaded rod, mesh ring, internal threaded ring, top plate, valve body, fixing ring, orifice plate, spring, valve ball) are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel conforming to GB 4806.9-2016, which is rust-proof and prevents material migration. Sealing / flexible components (sealing layer, silicone layer, scraper ring) are made of food-grade silicone conforming to GB 4806.11-2016, which is heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant to fermentation liquid, and odorless. Auxiliary components (limiting wheels, latches) are made of food-grade nylon or 304 stainless steel, with the limiting wheels requiring wear resistance and the latches requiring a locking force of ≥50N to ensure load-bearing capacity.

[0031] Choose a low-elasticity spring model: clearly require the opening pressure to be ≤0.03MPa (the seller needs to provide parameter proof) to avoid insufficient air pressure preventing air release;

[0032] Materials must meet the following standards: valve body and spring are made of food-grade 304 stainless steel, and valve core is made of food-grade silicone to prevent rusting or material migration.

[0033] Prioritize "removable structure": ensure that the spring and valve core can be disassembled for cleaning, and thoroughly rinse and dry after each fermentation to avoid residual contamination.

[0034] When radish strips ferment, carbon dioxide is produced (such as during lactic acid bacteria fermentation), and the pressure inside the tank gradually increases.

[0035] When the gas pressure reaches 0.02-0.03 MPa (about 20%-30% higher than atmospheric pressure), the gas pressure will push open the valve ball inside the valve, forming a tiny exhaust channel;

[0036] After the gas is discharged, the pressure inside the tank drops, and the valve ball automatically closes under its own weight and the action of the spring, restoring the sealed state and preventing outside air and bacteria from entering.

[0037] When the spring 14 is in a compressed state, the compression effect of the spring 14 can create downward pressure on the valve ball 16, causing the silicone layer 17 to fit tightly into the ball groove.

[0038] Specifically, the left and right ends of the connecting plate 15 are equipped with limit wheels 18 via wheel seats, and the left and right ends of the inner sidewall of the valve body 11 are provided with wheel grooves 19, and the wheel edge of the limit wheel 18 is rolled in the wheel groove 19.

[0039] By setting the limiting wheel 18 to roll in the wheel groove 19, the movement trajectory of the connecting plate 15 is limited, so that it can only move up and down, thereby limiting the up and down movement trajectory of the valve ball 16, so that it can only move up and down relative to the ball groove on the fixed ring 12, thus preventing it from detaching.

[0040] Specifically, the top of the wheel groove 19 is in the open state.

[0041] The top of the wheel groove 19 is in an open state, which makes it convenient to install the limiting wheel 18 in the wheel groove 19.

[0042] Working principle: Place the radish strips on the mesh ring 6, and rotate the upper internal threaded ring 7 to move the upper mesh ring 6 downward, so that it is close to the lower retaining ring 8 to prevent the radish strips inside from floating out. Control the cover 2 to place the placement ring 5 into the tank 1 containing the fermentation liquid and lock the cover 2.

[0043] It should be noted that the device structure and accompanying drawings of this patent mainly describe the principle of this patent. In terms of the technical aspects of this design principle, the setting of the device's power mechanism, power supply system and control system is not fully described. However, those skilled in the art who understand the principle of the above patent can clearly understand the specifics of its power mechanism, power supply system and control system.

[0044] This patent uses adjustable placement rings (net ring, retaining ring, internal threaded ring) to support radish strips in layers, eliminating the need to search directly in the fermentation liquid and greatly improving the convenience of picking up and putting down. By adjusting the position of the net ring through the internal threaded ring, the upper net ring can be moved down to be close to the lower retaining ring, and the retaining ring is used to block the radish strips and prevent them from floating away from the supporting structure.
