[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Example 1: This utility model proposes a gas-liquid separation and purification device for food fermentation, including: a fermentation component 1 and a purification component. The fermentation component 1 includes a food fermentation tank 101 and a gas-liquid separator 102. The gas-liquid separator 102 is fixedly installed on the top of the food fermentation tank 101. The purification component consists of a flow channel mechanism 2 and a purification mechanism 3. The flow channel mechanism 2 includes a connecting seat 201 and a switching seat 202. The connecting seat 201 is fixedly installed on the top of the food fermentation tank 101, and the top and bottom of the connecting seat 201 are respectively connected to the return pipe of the gas-liquid separator 102 and the food fermentation tank 101. The switching seat 202 is rotatably connected inside the connecting seat 201. The purification mechanism 3 includes a positioning frame 301, a purification seat 302 and a linkage block 303. The positioning frame 301 is inserted into the inside of the switching seat 202, and the purification seat 302 is inserted into the bottom of the positioning frame 301. The bottom of the purification seat 302 is detachably fixedly installed with a purification filter plate 4, and the interior of the positioning frame 301 and the purification seat 302 is provided with a return flow channel. The linkage block 303 is inserted into the interior of the positioning frame 301.

[0023] The switching seat 202 has two switching channels 2021 inside, and the purification mechanism 3 has two sets. The two sets of purification mechanisms 3 are respectively set inside the two switching channels 2021. The two sets of purification mechanisms 3 are symmetrical to each other. In use, the gas-liquid separator 102 can perform gas-liquid separation on the food fermentation tank 101. The return liquid of the gas-liquid separator 102 can be purified by the purification components and flow back into the food fermentation tank 101. The return liquid of the gas-liquid separator 102 can enter the switching channel 2021 directly below through the connecting seat 201 and flow into the food fermentation tank 101. In this section, when the reflux liquid flows through the switching channel 2021, it can be purified by the purification filter plate 4, thereby preventing solid impurities or incompletely separated micro foam particles from returning to the food fermentation tank 101. This prevents solid impurities or incompletely separated micro foam particles from re-entering the food fermentation tank 101 and affecting the fermentation process, thus improving the fermentation quality. There are two switching channels 2021, which can be switched by rotating the switching seat 202. By alternating the use of the two sets of switching channels 2021, the purification filter plate 4 can be replaced and maintained without stopping the machine.

[0024] The connecting seat 201 has a positioning groove inside, and the positioning frame 301 has a positioning protrusion 3011 on its side. The positioning protrusion 3011 is inserted into the positioning groove. The positioning groove consists of a "V"-shaped guide groove 2011 and an annular retaining groove 2012. The two ends of the retaining groove 2012 are respectively connected to the two ends of the groove body at the top of the guide groove 2011. In use, under the positioning action of the positioning groove, the purification mechanism 3, with the positioning protrusion 3011 located inside the retaining groove 2012, is located inside the switching flow channel 2021, and this set of purification... The purification mechanism 3 is located directly below the return pipe of the gas-liquid separator 102, thereby purifying the return liquid flowing through it. The positioning protrusion 3011 of the other purification mechanism 3 is located at the lowest point of the guide groove 2011, so that the purification seat 302 extends out of the bottom of the switching channel 2021, increasing the operating space for replacing and maintaining the purification filter plate 4. It is flexible and convenient to use. By rotating the switching seat 202, the switching channel 2021 can be switched and the positions of the two purification mechanisms 3 can be automatically changed. The operation is convenient, quick and flexible.

[0025] The purification mechanism 3 also includes a sealing rubber ring 304, which is inserted into the top of the purification seat 302. The outer cross-section of the linkage block 303 is a right-angled triangle, with the hypotenuse of the outer block facing upwards. A linkage rod 3031 is provided on the side of the linkage block 303, and an inclined linkage groove 3021 is provided on the top of the purification seat 302. The linkage rod 3031 is inserted into the interior of the linkage groove 3021. In use, the purification mechanism 3 also has a sealing mechanism, which seals the edges of the components of the purification mechanism 3 located inside the switching flow channel 2021, preventing backflow of liquid. The components of the purification mechanism 3 are leaking and flowing back at the edges, and the operation is stable. The linkage block 303 located inside the switching channel 2021 is squeezed by the inner wall of the switching channel 2021, causing the linkage block 303 to move into the positioning frame 301. When the linkage block 303 moves, the linkage rod 3031 can drive the purification seat 302 to move upward through the linkage groove 3021, thereby reducing the gap between the purification seat 302 and the positioning frame 301. This causes the sealing rubber ring 304 to be squeezed and deformed, thereby sealing the gap between the components of the purification mechanism 3 and the switching channel 2021, preventing liquid leakage and backflow, and the stability is extremely strong.

[0026] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The gas-liquid separator 102 can perform gas-liquid separation on the food fermentation tank 101. The reflux liquid from the gas-liquid separator 102 can be purified by the purification component and then flow back into the food fermentation tank 101. The reflux liquid from the gas-liquid separator 102 can enter the switching channel 2021 directly below through the connecting seat 201 and flow into the food fermentation tank 101. When the reflux liquid flows through the switching channel 2021, it can be purified by the purification filter plate 4, thereby preventing solid impurities or incompletely separated micro foam particles from returning to the food fermentation tank 101. Inside the food fermentation tank 101, to prevent solid impurities or incompletely separated micro-foam particles from re-entering and affecting the fermentation process, two switching channels 2021 are provided. These can be switched by rotating the switching seat 202. Alternating use of the two sets of switching channels 2021 allows for the replacement and maintenance of the purification filter plate 4 without shutting down the system. Under the positioning action of the positioning groove, the positioning protrusion 3011 is located inside the holding groove 2012, and the purification mechanism 3 is located inside the switching channel 2021. Furthermore, this set of purification mechanisms 3 is located in the return pipe of the gas-liquid separator 102. The first set of purification mechanisms 3 is being fed downwards, thus purifying the returning liquid. Meanwhile, the positioning protrusion 3011 of the other purification mechanism 3 is located at the lowest point of the guide groove 2011, allowing the purification seat 302 to extend beyond the bottom of the switching channel 2021. This increases the operating space for replacing and maintaining the purification filter disc 4, making it flexible and convenient to use. The switching channel 2021 can be switched and the positions of the two purification mechanisms 3 can be automatically changed by rotating the switching seat 202. The purification mechanism 3 also has a sealing mechanism, ensuring that the edges of the components of the purification mechanism 3 located inside the switching channel 2021 are sealed to prevent the return liquid from flowing back. The leakage backflow from the edge of the components of the purification mechanism 3 is stable. The linkage block 303 located inside the switching channel 2021 is squeezed by the inner wall of the switching channel 2021, causing the linkage block 303 to move into the positioning frame 301. When the linkage block 303 moves, the linkage rod 3031 can drive the purification seat 302 to move upward through the linkage groove 3021, thereby reducing the gap between the purification seat 302 and the positioning frame 301. This causes the sealing rubber ring 304 to be squeezed and deformed, thereby sealing the gap between the components of the purification mechanism 3 and the switching channel 2021 and preventing liquid leakage backflow.
