Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, specifically to a constant temperature mechanism for a brewing fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] Temperature control is crucial in the brewing and fermentation process. A stable temperature environment can ensure yeast activity and fermentation progress, thereby improving the quality of the wine.

[0003] Traditional brewing fermentation tanks often use water-circulating temperature control systems, which have high energy consumption. For example, the water circulation system needs to heat and cool a large amount of water, resulting in high energy consumption; at the same time, the materials in the fermentation tank are prone to sedimentation due to settling, and the temperature of materials at different depths varies, leading to uneven fermentation and affecting the quality of the wine.

[0004] Therefore, a temperature control mechanism for brewing fermentation tanks is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a constant temperature mechanism for a brewing fermentation tank in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A temperature control mechanism for a brewing fermentation tank includes a tank body, a stirring assembly for preventing material sedimentation on the tank body, auger blades on the surface of the stirring assembly, a temperature sensor on the tank body, a flexible heating film on the inner wall of the tank body, a blowing assembly for cooling the tank body on the surface of the tank body, a connecting air outlet sleeve fixedly fitted onto the surface of the tank body, fins fixedly connected to the surface of the tank body, an air outlet head on the surface of the connecting air outlet sleeve, and auxiliary components on the surface of the tank body.

[0008] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a motor, the top surface of the tank is provided with the motor, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the tank, and the auger blades are fixedly connected to the rotating rod, the surface of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a connecting frame, and the surface of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to a stirring blade.

[0009] Furthermore, there are three temperature sensors, which are distributed sequentially in the upper, middle, and lower parts of the tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the blowing assembly includes a fan, the top surface of the tank is fixedly connected to the fan, the air outlet end of the fan is fixedly connected to a pipe, and the end of the pipe away from the fan is connected to the air outlet collar.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of fins is multiple, and the fins are made of metal.

[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary component includes a feed pipe, the top surface of the tank is provided with a feed pipe, the surface of the tank is provided with an observation window, and the surface of the tank is provided with a discharge pipe.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a stirring assembly. A motor drives a rotating rod, causing the connecting frame and stirring blades to rotate, thus agitating the materials inside the tank and preventing sedimentation. The auger blades, rotating with the rod, transport the material from the bottom upwards, working in conjunction with the stirring blades to ensure thorough mixing and prevent temperature stratification from affecting fermentation. Temperature sensors are positioned at the top, middle, and bottom to accurately monitor temperatures at different locations, providing data support for temperature control. A flexible heating film can heat when temperatures are low based on sensor feedback, flexibly adjusting the tank temperature.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a temperature control mechanism for a brewing fermentation tank includes a tank body 1, a stirring assembly 2 for preventing material sedimentation on the tank body 1, auger blades 3 on the surface of the stirring assembly 2, a temperature sensor 4 on the tank body 1, a flexible heating film 5 on the inner wall of the tank body 1, a cooling air blowing assembly 6 on the surface of the tank body 1, a connecting air outlet ring 7 fixedly fitted to the surface of the tank body 1, fins 8 fixedly connected to the surface of the tank body 1, an air outlet head 9 on the surface of the connecting air outlet ring 7, and auxiliary components 10 on the surface of the tank body 1. Specifically, in this temperature control mechanism for the brewing fermentation tank, the tank body 1 serves as the container for brewing fermentation, providing space for material fermentation. The stirring assembly 2 on the tank body 1 stirs the material inside the tank, preventing it from settling. The auger blades 3 on the surface of the stirring assembly 2 rotate with the stirring assembly 2, conveying the material at the bottom of the tank upwards, promoting material mixing and temperature uniformity. A temperature sensor 4 is installed on the tank body 1 to monitor the temperature at different locations inside the tank, providing data for temperature control. A flexible heating film 5 is installed on the inner wall of the tank body 1, which can be electrically heated to regulate the temperature inside the tank when the temperature is low. A cooling air blowing assembly 6 is installed on the surface of the tank body 1; when the temperature is too high, the air blowing assembly 6 operates to dissipate heat and cool the tank body 1. An air outlet sleeve 7 is fixedly fitted onto the surface of the tank body 1 to collect and guide the air generated by the air blowing assembly 6. Fins 8 are fixedly connected to the surface of the tank body 1 to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the cooling effect. An air outlet 9 is installed on the surface of the air outlet sleeve 7 to guide the air to the surface of the tank body 1, working in conjunction with the fins 8 to enhance heat dissipation. An auxiliary assembly 10 is installed on the surface of the tank body 1 to meet basic operational needs such as feeding, observation, and discharging.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the stirring assembly 2 includes a motor 201. The motor 201 is mounted on the top surface of the tank 1. A rotating rod 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201, and the rotating rod 202 is rotatably connected to the tank 1. An auger blade 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 202. A connecting frame 203 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 202, and stirring blades 204 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting frame 203. Specifically, the stirring assembly 2, through the dual effects of vertical lifting and horizontal stirring, not only prevents uneven fermentation caused by material sedimentation but also breaks down temperature differences between different height layers, ensuring a uniform and stable fermentation environment. The rotating rod 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201. The rotation of the motor 201 drives the rotating rod 202 to rotate, and the rotating rod 202 is rotatably connected to the tank 1, ensuring stable rotation of the rotating rod 202. The auger blade 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 202 and rotates with the rotating rod 202 to achieve material conveying. A connecting frame 203 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 202, and a stirring blade 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting frame 203. The connecting frame 203 drives the stirring blade 204 to rotate, so as to fully stir the material and prevent sedimentation.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, there are three temperature sensors 4, which are distributed in the upper, middle and lower parts of the tank body 1. Specifically, the setting of the three temperature sensors 4 can comprehensively monitor the temperature at different heights inside the tank, accurately control the temperature stratification, and provide accurate data for temperature control decisions.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the air blowing assembly 6 includes a fan 601. The fan 601 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the tank 1, and a pipe 602 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the fan 601. The end of the pipe 602 away from the fan 601 is connected to the air outlet collar 7. Specifically, the air blowing assembly 6 is configured such that when the temperature sensor 4 detects over-temperature, the system starts the fan 601, forming a forced air cooling circulation around the tank 1. This avoids the high energy consumption problem of traditional water cooling systems and is especially suitable for rapid temperature control in summer or during high-temperature fermentation stages. The fan 601 generates a forced airflow to provide cooling power. The pipe 602 delivers the cold air to the air outlet collar 7 surrounding the tank 1. The cold air is blown from the air outlet 9 to the fins 8, increasing the heat dissipation area, accelerating heat dissipation, and achieving efficient air cooling.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple fins 8, and the fins 8 are made of metal. Specifically, the function of multiple metal fins 8 is to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the tank 1. Metal has strong thermal conductivity and can quickly conduct heat inside the tank 1. The multiple design greatly increases the contact area between the tank 1 and the air. Combined with the airflow blown out by the blower assembly 6, it accelerates the dissipation of heat to the outside, improves the cooling speed, and helps to maintain constant temperature control.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary component 10 includes a feed pipe 1001, a feed pipe 1001 is provided on the top surface of the tank body 1, an observation window 1002 is provided on the surface of the tank body 1, and a discharge pipe 1003 is provided on the surface of the tank body 1. Specifically, in the auxiliary component 10, the feed pipe 1001 facilitates the addition of raw materials, the observation window 1002 facilitates the observation of the fermentation status, and the discharge pipe 1003 is used to discharge the finished product or lees, thus meeting the basic operational requirements of brewing.

[0030] In summary: During use, brewing raw materials are added to tank 1 through feed pipe 1001. Motor 201 is started, driving rotor 202 to rotate, which in turn rotates auger blades 3, conveying the material from the bottom of the tank upwards. Simultaneously, connecting frame 203 drives stirring blades 204 to rotate, thoroughly stirring the material to prevent sedimentation and avoid temperature stratification. Three temperature sensors 4 monitor the temperature at the upper, middle, and lower positions inside tank 1 in real time. When the temperature is too high, blower 601 is started. The air generated by blower 601 enters the connecting air outlet ring 7 through pipe 602 and is then blown out from the air outlet 9 onto the surface of tank 1. Fins 8 increase the heat dissipation area of ​​tank 1, and the air flowing over the fins accelerates heat dissipation, cooling tank 1. When the temperature is too low, flexible heating film 5 is energized to ensure stable fermentation. During fermentation, the material status can be observed through observation window 1002. After fermentation, the product is discharged through discharge pipe 1003.
