Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of soy sauce brewing equipment, specifically relating to a traditional Huizhou soy sauce brewing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional soy sauce brewing process, "sun exposure and night dew" is a key step in forming its unique flavor. Usually, the fermenting soy mash is placed in earthenware or glass jars and placed outdoors during the hottest days of summer. The sunlight helps to raise the temperature inside the jar, promoting microbial fermentation and enzymatic reactions. Cooling at night helps the flavor substances condense and blend.

[0003] Traditional soy sauce jars are covered with a conical lid made of woven bamboo strips. However, this method has problems: it cannot effectively concentrate heat during the sun-drying process, resulting in slow temperature rise and a long fermentation cycle.

[0004] Based on this, the utility model patent with patent application number CN201420484484.7 in the prior art discloses an inverted conical sauce jar lid, specifically disclosing a conical cylindrical lid body that is open at both ends, with ventilation holes provided on the side of the lid body. However, it still has problems during use. Specifically, when it rains, rainwater or water vapor can easily seep into the sauce jar through the ventilation holes, contaminating the sauce mash.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a traditional Huizhou soy sauce brewing device that effectively concentrates heat, blocks and guides rainwater to prevent it from entering the soy sauce vat, and also maintains good air permeability, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Huizhou soy sauce brewing device in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions: A traditional Huizhou soy sauce brewing device includes a vat, a frame-type support on the top of the vat, and a light-transmitting baffle horizontally or inclinedly on the top of the frame-type support. The frame-type support is provided with a protective net along its outer edge, and the protective net covers and wraps around the outer edge of the vat and is fixed by a fixing rope. The outer edge of the frame support is also provided with a side protective flow guide structure for protecting the area above the protective net.

[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the top of the light-transmitting baffle is a flat surface, a convex surface, or a concave surface.

[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, the top of the frame support is set as a flat or sloping surface.

[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, when the first light-transmitting baffle is concave, a second light-transmitting baffle in the shape of a convex lens is provided above the first light-transmitting baffle, and a telescopic support frame is provided at the bottom of the second light-transmitting baffle.

[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the surface of the light-transmitting baffle two or the convex light-transmitting baffle one is provided with a number of protrusions.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the first light-transmitting baffle, the second light-transmitting baffle, and the protrusion are all made of transparent glass or highly transparent plastic material.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, the bottom of the light-transmitting baffle is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​blocks for snapping and limiting on the frame-type support.

[0014] As a further optimization of this utility model, the side protection and flow guiding structure includes several flexible baffles located on the outer edge of the frame-type support and above the cylinder body and the protective net. Each flexible baffle has several support rods on its inner sidewall for supporting the outer wall of the cylinder body. The flexible baffles are supported by the support rods so that adjacent flexible baffles are stacked on top of each other.

[0015] As a further optimization of this utility model, the lower edge of the flexible baffle is provided with a moisture-absorbing element and is pressed against the outer wall of the cylinder by a support rod.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1) This utility model installs a frame-type support on the top of the vat and places a light-transmitting baffle on the top of the frame-type support. This can block rainwater while allowing light to pass through and shine on the fermented mash inside the vat, thereby accelerating the fermentation process and shortening the brewing cycle. Moreover, the transparent frame-type support allows producers to directly observe changes in the color, state, and foam of the fermented mash, making it easier to control the brewing process. 2) This utility model, through the setting of the side protection and airflow guiding structure, can resist rainwater blown by the side wind on rainy days, especially rainy days with crosswinds, while the moisture-absorbing component can absorb water vapor, reducing the entry of rainwater or water vapor into the cylinder body. The flexible baffle is supported by the support rod, so that there is a distance between the flexible baffle and the outer wall of the cylinder body, ensuring that there is a heat dissipation and ventilation space between the outer area of ​​the frame support component and the flexible baffle, which facilitates the daily fermentation process. 3) In this utility model, the light-transmitting baffle with a convex lens structure is located above and the light-transmitting baffle with a concave mirror structure is located below. The converging effect of the light-transmitting baffle with the convex lens structure can first concentrate the light and increase the energy density, and then the light-transmitting baffle with the concave mirror structure can disperse the light, so that the gathered energy can be distributed more evenly, rather than being directly dispersed and causing a large amount of energy loss.

[0024] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the traditional Huizhou soy sauce brewing device in this embodiment includes a cylinder 1, a frame support 2 located on the top of the cylinder 1, and a light-transmitting baffle 5 located horizontally or inclined on the top of the frame support 2. The outer edge of the frame support 2 is provided with a protective net 3, which covers and wraps around the outer edge of the cylinder 1 and is fixed by a fixing rope 4. The outer edge of the frame support 2 is also provided with a side protective flow guide structure for protecting the area above the protective net 3.

[0027] Preferably, the top of the light-transmitting baffle 5 is a flat surface, a convex surface, or a concave surface.

[0028] The design features a convex surface, which can form a convex lens-like structure and has the function of concentrating heat. The flat surface design also allows sunlight to pass through and shine on the fermented mash inside the vat 1. The concave surface design can disperse the light, so that it can shine on the fermented mash inside the vat 1 more evenly.

[0029] Preferably, the top of the frame support 2 is a flat or sloping surface.

[0030] Among them, the light-transmitting baffle 5 with a flat top and the light-transmitting baffle 5 with a concave top are placed on the frame support 2 with an inclined top, which can reduce the accumulation of rainwater on the surface of the light-transmitting baffle 5. The light-transmitting baffle 5 with a convex top can be placed on the frame support 2 with a flat top, which can also reduce the accumulation of rainwater.

[0031] Preferably, the surface of the light-transmitting baffle 2 7 or the convex light-transmitting baffle 1 5 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 11, which are further designed to concentrate heat.

[0032] Preferably, the light-transmitting baffle 5, the light-transmitting baffle 7, and the protrusion 11 are all made of transparent glass or highly transparent plastic material; this facilitates light transmission and heat accumulation.

[0033] Preferably, the bottom of the light-transmitting baffle 5 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​blocks 6 for snapping and limiting on the frame support 2.

[0034] Furthermore, the frame support 2 consists of at least two horizontal plates and two vertical plates that intersect each other, and the number of the snap-fit ​​blocks 6 is four, which are snap-fitted onto the four horizontal / vertical plates respectively to achieve the snap-fit ​​limiting function. It is not easy to cause relative sliding even when placed at an angle, and has high stability.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the frame support 2 and the snap-fit ​​block 6 are preferably made of materials with high friction, such as wood or rubber, which are less prone to relative sliding.

[0036] Furthermore, the side protection and flow guiding structure includes several flexible baffles 9 located on the outer edge of the frame-type support 2 and protecting the cylinder body 1 and the protective net 3. Each flexible baffle 9 has several support rods 10 on its inner sidewall for supporting the outer wall of the cylinder body 1. The flexible baffles 9 can be multi-piece or continuous single piece. The multi-piece flexible baffles 9 are supported by the support rods 10 so that adjacent flexible baffles 9 are stacked vertically. The purpose of this structural design is to ensure a tight fit, reduce water seepage between gaps, and also allow them to be adhered together by adhesive.

[0037] Furthermore, the lower edge of the flexible baffle 9 is provided with a moisture-absorbing element and is pressed against the outer wall of the cylinder 1 by a support rod 10; it should be noted that in this embodiment, the moisture-absorbing element is made of moisture-absorbing materials such as gauze, non-woven fabric, and sponge sheet.

[0038] By setting up a side-protection and airflow guiding structure, rainwater blown by the crosswind can be blocked in rainy weather, especially when the crosswind is blowing. The moisture-absorbing component can absorb water vapor, reducing the amount of rainwater or water vapor entering the cylinder 1. Moreover, the flexible baffle 9 is supported by the support rod 10, so that there is a distance between the flexible baffle 9 and the outer wall of the cylinder 1. The frame support 2 is set on the top of the cylinder 1. In the middle area, a light-transmitting baffle 5 is placed to form a partition. However, there is a heat dissipation and ventilation space between the outer area of ​​the frame support 2 and the flexible baffle 9, which facilitates daily fermentation.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 6-7 As shown, in this embodiment of the Huizhou traditional soy sauce brewing device, based on embodiment 1, when the light-transmitting baffle 1 5 is concave, a light-transmitting baffle 2 7 with a convex lens structure is provided above the light-transmitting baffle 1 5, and a telescopic support frame 8 is provided at the bottom of the light-transmitting baffle 2 7.

[0041] When the light-transmitting baffle 5 is concave, it functions as a concave mirror structure, which diffuses light and illuminates the fermented soybean paste inside the cylinder 1 more evenly. However, a light-transmitting baffle 7 with a convex lens structure is installed above the light-transmitting baffle 5, which effectively concentrates heat. Therefore, when used in combination, the converging effect of the convex lens structure light-transmitting baffle 7 first concentrates the light, increasing energy density, and then diffuses it through the concave mirror structure light-transmitting baffle 5, resulting in a more even distribution of energy, rather than direct dispersion leading to significant energy loss. The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
