Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a fermentation device, specifically a fermentation device for brewing fruit wine. Background Technology
[0002] Fruit wine fermentation is the core process in fruit wine production, directly determining the alcohol content, flavor characteristics, and quality stability of the wine. Fruit wine fermentation refers to the process of making fruit wine by crushing and pressing the fruit raw materials, followed by alcoholic fermentation and aging. The principle of fruit wine fermentation is that the crushed and pressed fruit raw materials undergo complex chemical reactions under the action of enzymes such as yeast to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. Fermentation equipment is required to carry out the fermentation process.
[0003] Current fermentation equipment typically includes a fermentation tank body, a crushing and stirring mechanism, connecting pipes, and valves. When using this equipment for fruit wine fermentation, the fruit wine raw materials are placed in the fermentation tank body for fermentation and periodically stirred by the crushing and stirring mechanism. After fermentation, the fruit wine is filtered through a filter screen component inside the fermentation tank body. Impurities such as fruit pomace are collected on the filter screen component. After filtration, the fruit wine enters the connecting pipe and flows into a collection container. After a period of use, the filter screen component becomes covered with impurities. To avoid clogging and a decrease in filtration rate, it is usually necessary to clean the impurities on the filter screen component frequently. However, in existing fermentation equipment, the filter screen component is fixed inside the fermentation tank body, making it very inconvenient to clean. This makes cleaning the filter screen component time-consuming, labor-intensive, and ineffective, seriously affecting the efficiency of cleaning the filter screen component and increasing the labor intensity of production workers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, this utility model aims to provide a fermentation device for brewing fruit wine, thereby improving the efficiency of cleaning filter components, reducing the labor intensity of production workers, and enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fermentation device for brewing fruit wine includes a support frame, a fermentation tank body with a function of adjusting fermentation temperature fixed on the support frame, a crushing and stirring mechanism installed on the fermentation tank body, a connecting pipe connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank body, and a first valve component installed on the connecting pipe. A filter mechanism with a detachable filter screen component is detachably connected to the outlet end of the connecting pipe. The filter mechanism is connected to the connecting pipe. A discharge pipe is detachably connected to the outlet end of the filter mechanism. The filter mechanism is connected to the discharge pipe. A second valve component is installed on the discharge pipe. An auxiliary cleaning mechanism for assisting in cleaning the filter screen component is detachably connected to the outer wall of the fermentation tank body.
[0006] As a limitation of this utility model, the filtration mechanism includes a tubular component detachably connected to the connecting pipe, a filter screen component inserted into the cavity of the tubular component, and a limiting component detachably connected to the bottom of the tubular component, which can both limit the position of the filter screen component and allow the material filtered by the filter screen component to flow out.
[0007] As a further limitation of this utility model, the auxiliary cleaning mechanism includes a flexible plate, a plurality of needle-shaped flexible spikes uniformly fixed to the bottom of the flexible plate, a finger sleeve fixed to the top of the flexible plate, and a suspension hole provided on the flexible plate.
[0008] As a further definition of this utility model, the crushing and stirring mechanism includes a geared motor fixed to the top of the fermentation tank body, a stirring shaft fixed to the power output end of the geared motor and rotatably mounted on the fermentation tank body, and a plurality of crushing and stirring blades fixed at intervals along the length of the stirring shaft.
[0009] As another limitation of this utility model, a strip-shaped observation window is provided on the side of the main body of the fermentation tank, and a liquid level scale line is provided on the strip-shaped observation window.
[0010] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: (1) This utility model adopts a structure combining a support, a fermentation tank body, a crushing and stirring mechanism, a connecting pipe, a first valve component, a filter mechanism, a discharge pipe, a second valve component, and an auxiliary cleaning mechanism. When it is necessary to clean the filter screen component, the filter mechanism can be disassembled and rinsed with water. The filter screen component in the filter mechanism can also be disassembled and rinsed with water. When cleaning the filter screen component, the auxiliary cleaning mechanism can be used in conjunction. Cleaning the filter screen component is time-saving, labor-saving, and clean. It can effectively improve the working efficiency of cleaning the filter screen component, reduce the labor intensity of production workers, and improve the cleaning effect.
[0011] (2) The filter mechanism in this utility model has a clever design, simple structure and low manufacturing cost. The tubular components, filter screen components and limiting components in the filter mechanism are easy to disassemble and install, which makes it easier and faster to disassemble and clean the filter mechanism when it needs to be cleaned, saving time and effort.
[0012] (3) Impurities are easily left on the mesh of the filter screen component in this utility model and are not easy to clean. This utility model is provided with an auxiliary cleaning mechanism, which includes a flexible plate, multiple needle-shaped flexible spikes, a finger sleeve and a hanging hole. When using it, one finger is inserted through the finger sleeve and the flexible plate component is held. While rinsing the filter screen component with water, the filter screen component is cleaned with one side of the multiple needle-shaped flexible spikes. At this time, the multiple needle-shaped flexible spikes can pass through the mesh of the filter screen component and clean out the impurities in the mesh. The impurities on the filter screen component can be cleaned easily and conveniently. When the auxiliary cleaning mechanism is not used, it can be hung on the fermenter body through the hanging hole for easy storage and strong practicality.
[0013] (4) The crushing and stirring mechanism in this utility model includes a speed reduction motor, a stirring shaft and several crushing and stirring blades, wherein the crushing and stirring blades can further crush and stir the fruit raw materials, improve the utilization rate of the fruit raw materials and improve the fermentation effect.
[0014] (5) This utility model is provided with a strip-shaped observation window and a liquid level scale line, which not only makes it convenient for production workers to observe the fermentation situation in the main body of the fermentation tank, but also makes it convenient for production workers to determine the liquid level position in the fermentation tank, which can effectively improve the practicality of this utility model.
[0015] In summary, this utility model features an ingenious and simple structural design, is easy to use, and highly practical. When cleaning the filter screen components, the filter mechanism can be disassembled and rinsed with water, and the filter screen components themselves can also be disassembled and rinsed. An auxiliary cleaning mechanism can be used in conjunction with the filter screen components during cleaning. This process is time-saving, labor-saving, and effective, significantly improving the efficiency of filter screen cleaning, reducing the labor intensity of production workers, and enhancing the cleaning effect. This utility model is suitable for use in the fruit wine fermentation process during fruit wine brewing. Attached Figure Description

The filter mechanism 7 is connected to the connecting pipe 5 and the discharge pipe 8. Both the first valve component 6 and the second valve component 9 are existing shut-off valves.
[0020] The fermentation tank body 3, which has a function to regulate fermentation temperature, is an existing structure. Therefore, the parts that are the same as those in the existing structure will not be described again. When fermenting fruit wine, the fermentation temperature can be adjusted according to actual needs to keep the fermentation tank body 3 at a suitable fermentation temperature. In addition, L-shaped hooks 4 are fixed on the outer wall of the fermentation tank body 3. When the auxiliary cleaning mechanism 11 is not needed, it can be hung on the L-shaped hooks 4. When the auxiliary cleaning mechanism 11 is needed, it can be removed from the L-shaped hooks 4. The support includes two support rods 1 that are fixed to the bottom of the fermentation tank body 3. Each support rod 1 has a base plate 2 fixed to its bottom. The base plate 2 is fixed to the ground by expansion bolts.
[0021] The crushing and stirring mechanism includes a geared motor 12 fixed to the top of the fermentation tank body 3, a stirring shaft 13 fixed to the power output end of the geared motor 12 and rotatably mounted on the fermentation tank body 3, and a plurality of crushing and stirring blades 14 fixed at intervals along the length of the stirring shaft 13. The stirring shaft 13 and the plurality of crushing and stirring blades 14 are all located inside the fermentation tank body 3. The crushing and stirring blades 14 are existing structures and have crushing and stirring functions. Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the crushing and stirring blade 14 adopts an X-shaped blade, and the X-shaped blade has a sharp cutting edge.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the filtration mechanism 7 includes a tubular component detachably connected to the connecting pipe 5, a filter screen component inserted into the cavity of the tubular component, and a limiting component detachably connected to the bottom of the tubular component, which both limits the position of the filter screen component and allows the filtered material to flow out. Specifically, in this embodiment, the tubular component is a round tube 71 adapted to the connecting pipe 5. The inner side of the outlet end of the connecting pipe 5 has an internal thread, and the outer side of the round tube 71 near the outlet end of the connecting pipe 5 has an external thread adapted to the internal thread. The round tube 71 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 5. The filter screen component includes a hollow cylindrical component 72 and a filter screen 73 fixed at the bottom of the hollow cylindrical component 72. The limiting component includes an annular housing 74 threaded to the lower end of the circular tube 71 and an annular limiting plate 75 fixed at the bottom of the annular housing 74 to prevent the filter screen component from falling out of the circular tube 71. The fruit wine filtered from the filter screen 73 can flow out from the circular cavity in the middle of the annular limiting plate 75. The discharge pipe 8 is threaded to the annular limiting plate 75.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the auxiliary cleaning mechanism 11 includes a flexible plate 111, a plurality of needle-shaped flexible spikes 113 uniformly fixed to the bottom of the flexible plate 111, a finger sleeve 112 fixed to the top of the flexible plate 111, and a suspension hole 114 provided on the flexible plate 111.

The needle-shaped flexible spikes 113 need to be adapted to the filter holes of the filter screen 73 in the filter screen component so that the needle-shaped flexible spikes 113 can penetrate the filter holes and clean out the impurities remaining in the filter holes. The finger sleeve 112 is an arc-shaped rubber ring, and the suspension hole 114 is a circular hole. Both the flexible plate 111 and the needle-shaped flexible spikes 113 are made of rubber material.
[0024] To improve the practicality of this embodiment, a strip-shaped observation window 10 is provided on the side of the fermenter body 3, and a liquid level scale line is provided on the strip-shaped observation window 10.
[0025] In this embodiment, the fruit wine raw materials are placed into the fermentation tank body 3 through the discharge port. The reduction motor 12 is started to activate the crushing and stirring mechanism. The reduction motor 12 drives the stirring shaft 13 and the crushing and stirring blades 14 to rotate, which can crush and stir the fruit wine raw materials. Then, the fermentation temperature is adjusted to meet the production requirements. After a period of time, the reduction motor 12 is paused to stop the crushing and stirring mechanism. During the production of fruit wine, the crushing and stirring mechanism needs to be activated periodically according to the production requirements to stir the fruit wine raw materials to facilitate fruit wine fermentation. Similar to the existing fermentation tank body 3, during the fruit wine fermentation process, when the gas pressure inside the fermentation tank body 3 exceeds the preset value, the exhaust port is opened, and gas will be discharged from the exhaust port. When the gas pressure inside the fermentation tank body 3 returns to normal, the exhaust port is closed. After the fruit wine fermentation is completed, the first valve component 6 and the second valve component 9 are opened, and the fermented fruit wine is discharged sequentially through the filtration mechanism 7 and the discharge pipe 8. When the filter mechanism 7 needs to be cleaned, the filter mechanism 7 can be disassembled and rinsed with water. The filter screen component in the filter mechanism 7 can also be disassembled and rinsed with water. When cleaning the filter screen component, the auxiliary cleaning mechanism 11 can be used to clean it. While brushing the filter screen component with the auxiliary cleaning mechanism 11, rinse with water until it is clean.
