Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice wine production, specifically to fermentation tanks after rice wine fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Yellow wine is one of the oldest alcoholic beverages in the world and a unique traditional fermented wine in China, belonging to the category of low-alcohol brewed wines. It is made primarily from rice, millet, and corn, through the saccharification and fermentation process using yeast. It is characterized by its bright yellow or amber color, rich aroma, and mellow, sweet taste. Fermentation is the core step in yellow wine production, referring to the biological metabolic process under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, utilizing microorganisms in the yeast and their secreted enzymes to convert the starch in the raw materials into fermentable sugars, which are then further converted into alcohol and flavor compounds.

[0003] When the rice wine fermentation tank is in operation, it is based on the synergistic metabolism of microorganisms. Through the molds, yeasts, lactic acid bacteria and other microorganisms in the yeast starter and their secreted enzymes, the starch in the raw materials is gradually converted into flavor substances such as alcohol, organic acids and esters in a complex biochemical reaction process.

[0004] Over time, dust and other impurities accumulate on the outer walls of fermentation tanks. The long-term accumulation of these residues can corrode the tank and affect its lifespan. Manual cleaning of fermentation tanks is slow, and cleaning the entire outer wall takes a long time, affecting the overall production progress and reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fermentation tank for rice wine fermentation. By setting up a cleaning component, residual wine liquid, stains and other substances on the outer wall of the fermentation tank can be removed in a timely manner. This can effectively prevent these corrosive substances from adhering to the surface of the tank for a long time and causing corrosion to the tank material, thereby reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0036] During operation, after adding the rice wine raw materials through the feed inlet 108 and sealing the container with the sealing plug 109, the drive motor 501 above the sealing plug 103 is started. The vertical meshing of the umbrella wheel 502 and umbrella wheel 503 drives the rotating rod 504 and the threaded blade 505 to rotate, conveying the rice wine from the bottom of the tank upwards and stirring it to ensure sufficient fermentation. The rice wine can be filtered through the filter screen 603. Simultaneously, the drive motor 201 is started, and the pulley 202 synchronously drives the gear 301 to rotate. The gear 301 meshes with and drives the gear 304, which is confined within the annular groove 303 of the annular frame 302, causing the stirring rod 307 on the connecting frame 305 to agitate the material at the bottom of the tank to prevent sedimentation. The valve at the discharge port 104 is then opened. After the rice wine is discharged at 105, valve 105 is closed, and valve 202 of discharge port 401 is opened. Drive motor 201 drives cleaning scraper 306 to rotate around the inner wall of the tank to scrape off residue. In conjunction with stirring rod 307, impurities are stirred and discharged from discharge port 401. When control telescopic rod 110 lifts sealing cover 103, vertical plate 601 drives circular frame 602 and filter screen 603 to rise, scraping off residue in the upper middle part of the inner wall of the tank and removing filter screen 603 for cleaning. While driving the inner wall to clean residue, drive motor 201 also drives pulley 204 and threaded rod 205 to rotate through pulley 202 and transmission belt 203, so that sliding frame 206 drives cleaning device 207 to move linearly along the outer wall of the tank to achieve outer wall cleaning.
