[0002] Kimchi is a type of vegetable that has been fermented over a long period of time. There are many varieties of kimchi, so some families buy fermentation jars to pickle kimchi. Since a lot of gas is produced during the fermentation of kimchi, a corresponding ventilation structure is used to better release the gas.
[0003] A search revealed a prior art disclosure of a kimchi fermentation ventilation structure, patent publication number CN219848849U. The specification states that by passing the gas through activated carbon blocks, the gas can better treat odors. The gas is then introduced into water through a gas guide tube, allowing it to undergo water filtration before being released to the outside, thereby reducing gas pollution and achieving the ultimate environmental protection goal.
[0004] However, in actual use, after a long period of use, the sealing plug of the exhaust pipe will gradually age, which will reduce the sealing effect. As a result, outside air will enter the fermentation jar through the gaps, which will reduce the fermentation quality and even cause the pickles to spoil, thus making it less economical to use. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a kimchi fermentation ventilation structure, including an exhaust pipe 1, which is installed on the lid of the fermentation jar and connected to the interior of the exhaust pipe 1. A placement groove 2 is provided at the top of the exhaust pipe 1. The lower interior of the placement groove 2 is used to store water, thereby performing initial filtration of the discharged gas. Slots 3 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the placement groove 2. A locking block 4 is engaged inside the slot 3. A sealing plug 5 is slidably connected to the outside of the locking block 4. The locking block 4 limits the sealing plug 5, ensuring stable installation. An activated carbon filter is detachably connected to the outside of the sealing plug 5, which performs secondary filtration of the discharged gas. The sealing plug 5 is slidably connected inside the placement groove 2, making the gas discharge path from the exhaust pipe 1 more tortuous. A sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the lower exterior of the sealing plug 5. A sealing groove 6 is provided on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 1. The sealing ring 7 fits snugly against the inside of the sealing groove 6, resulting in good sealing performance of the exhaust pipe 1.
[0025] When venting is required, by disengaging the locking block 4 from the inside of the locking groove 3, the sealing plug 5 is pulled upwards, causing the sealing plug 5 to disengage the sealing ring 7 from the inside of the sealing groove 6. This prevents the sealing plug 5 from blocking the through hole inside the vent pipe 1, allowing the gas to flow into the placement groove 2 along the inner wall of the sealing plug 5. The gas then undergoes dual filtration through the water and activated carbon filter. Conversely, when the sealing plug 5 slides into the placement groove 2, it double-seals the vent pipe 1, preventing outside air from entering the fermentation jar through the vent pipe. This ensures the fermentation quality of the kimchi and makes it highly economical to use.
[0026] Example 2: Based on Example 1, to facilitate the pulling of the locking block 4, two mounting grooves 8 are formed inside the sealing plug 5. The locking block 4 is slidably connected inside the mounting grooves 8, which provide space for the locking block 4 to move. A mounting piece 9 is fixedly connected to the side of the locking block 4 away from the locking groove 3. The mounting piece 9 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 8, which limits the mounting piece 9, allowing it to slide smoothly. A pull rope 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting piece 9 away from the locking block 4, and the pull rope 10 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 8. The mounting groove 8 limits the pull rope 10, preventing it from shifting during sliding. A pull block 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull rope 10 away from the mounting plate 9. Two limiting grooves 13 are opened at the top of the sealing plug 5. The pull block 12 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 13, which limits the pull block 12 and allows it to slide smoothly. An elastic element 11 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rope 10. One end of the elastic element 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 9.
[0027] When the locking block 4 needs to be pulled, the pulling block 12 is moved inward, so that the pulling block 12 can pull the mounting piece 9 inward through the pulling rope 10. This allows the mounting piece 9 to pull the locking block 4 into the interior of the mounting groove 8 and compress the elastic element 11 to deform. Conversely, by releasing the pulling block 12, the elastic element 11 can perform a reset movement, which in turn allows the elastic element 11 to push the mounting piece 9 outward, so that the mounting piece 9 can push the locking block 4 to engage with the interior of the locking groove 3.
[0028] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to improve the sealing effect of the sealing ring 7, a sliding groove 14 is provided inside the sealing ring 7, and two placement grooves 15 are provided on the lower side of the sealing plug 5. Multiple extrusion plates 16 are slidably connected inside the sliding groove 14, and a connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the extrusion plate 16. One side of the connecting rod 17 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 14, and the other side of the connecting rod 17 is slidably connected inside the placement groove 15. The sliding groove 14 and the placement groove 15 limit the connecting rod 17, so that the connecting rod 17 will not deviate when sliding. A placement piece 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 17 away from the extrusion plate 16. The placement piece 18 is slidably connected inside the placement groove 15, and the placement groove 15 limits the placement piece 18, so that the placement piece 18 can slide smoothly. An elastic element 19 is fixedly connected to the end of the placement piece 18 away from the connecting rod 17, and the other end of the elastic element 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 15.
[0029] When the sealing plug 5 slides into the interior of the exhaust pipe 1 and the placement groove 2, the sealing ring 7 slides on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 1 and is squeezed and deformed, pushing the compression piece 16 to move inward. This causes the compression piece 16 to push the connecting rod 17 to move inward, which in turn pushes the placement piece 18 to move inward. As a result, the placement piece 18 squeezes the elastic element 19 and deforms. When the sealing ring 7 moves to the position of the sealing groove 6, the elastic element 19 returns to its original position, which in turn pushes the placement piece 18 to move outward. This causes the placement piece 18 to push the connecting rod 17 to move outward, which in turn pushes the compression piece 16 to move outward. This allows the compression piece 16 to push the sealing ring 7 to fit against the inner wall of the sealing groove 6, resulting in a better seal.
[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0031] When the sealing plug 5 needs to be installed, the pull block 12 is moved inward, causing the pull block 12 to pull the mounting piece 9 inward via the pull rope 10. This causes the mounting piece 9 to pull the locking block 4 into the mounting groove 8, compressing the elastic element 11 and causing it to deform. The sealing plug 5 then slides into the exhaust pipe 1 and the placement groove 2, allowing the sealing ring 7 to slide on the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 1 and be compressed and deformed. This compresses the compression piece 16 inward, which in turn pushes the connecting rod 17 inward, which in turn pushes the placement piece 18 inward. The placement piece 18 then compresses the elastic element 19 and causes it to deform. When the sealing ring 7 reaches the sealing groove 6, the elastic element 19 returns to its original position, pushing the placement piece 18 outward. The side movement allows the placement piece 18 to push the connecting rod 17 outward, which in turn pushes the extrusion piece 16 outward, causing the extrusion piece 16 to push the sealing ring 7 against the inner wall of the sealing groove 6, resulting in a better seal. Then, by releasing the pull block 12, the elastic element 11 can perform a reset movement, which in turn pushes the mounting piece 9 outward, causing the mounting piece 9 to push the locking block 4 into the inside of the locking groove 3, thus allowing the sealing plug 5 to be stably installed. This provides a double seal for the exhaust pipe, preventing external air from entering the fermentation jar through the exhaust pipe, thereby ensuring the fermentation quality of the kimchi and making it more economical to use. Conversely, it can also perform double filtration of the exhaust gas to reduce the spread of odors.
