Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of temperature measuring device technology, specifically a temperature measuring chamber for fermentation of yeast cakes. Background Technology

[0002] As the core saccharification and fermentation agent in the production of traditional fermented foods such as baijiu and huangjiu, the fermentation quality of yeast cakes directly determines the flavor, aroma and alcohol content of the finished product. Temperature stability during the fermentation process is a key factor in regulating the structure and metabolic activity of functional microbial communities such as yeast and mold.

[0003] Traditional fermentation of yeast cakes often employs a simple greenhouse layout, relying on thermometers at a few fixed points for temperature monitoring. The overall fermentation environment is indirectly determined by recording data from these fixed points. However, in actual production, the walls of the fermentation chamber are prone to air leaks due to sealing defects, structural aging, and gaps in doors and windows. This allows cold outside air to seep into the fermentation chamber, disrupting the internal temperature balance and creating areas with significant localized temperature differences during fermentation. These areas are susceptible to condensation, the proliferation of harmful bacteria, or moisture loss from the yeast cakes, leading to uneven fermentation and fluctuations in quality.

[0004] However, traditional fixed-point temperature measurement can only reflect the overall average temperature and cannot cover the entire wall area. It is difficult to capture local temperature fluctuations caused by air leakage, and it is even more difficult to locate the specific location of the air leakage. Ultimately, this leads to significant differences between batches of wine cakes and a reduction in the rate of high-quality products, which seriously restricts the efficiency of large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention proposes a temperature measuring chamber for fermenting yeast cakes. The chamber combines a fixed-point temperature measuring module and a mobile temperature measuring module, which can comprehensively detect the temperature in every corner of the chamber and promptly identify specific areas with abnormal wall temperatures. This solves the problem of poor fermentation quality caused by the inability to determine air leakage locations during traditional yeast cake fermentation.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A temperature measuring chamber for fermenting yeast cake includes a temperature measuring chamber, which is equipped with multiple yeast cake fermentation platforms arranged in a matrix. The temperature measuring chamber is equipped with a fixed-point temperature measuring module and a mobile temperature measuring module. A control module is installed on the outer wall of the temperature measuring chamber. The control module is electrically connected to the fixed-point temperature measuring module and the mobile temperature measuring module respectively. The fixed-point temperature measurement module is used to detect the temperature at a fixed point inside the temperature measurement chamber. The mobile temperature measurement module includes a top guide rail, a suspended trolley, and a temperature measuring element. The top guide rail is fixedly installed on the top of the temperature measurement chamber. The suspended trolley is slidably connected to the top guide rail. The lifting element is installed at the bottom of the suspended trolley. The temperature measuring element is installed at the movable end of the lifting element. The suspended trolley is used to move the temperature measuring element along the wall. The temperature measuring element is used to detect the temperature of the wall of the temperature measurement chamber.

[0007] The top guide rail includes a linear guide rail section and an arc guide rail section. The linear guide rail section is in close contact with the inner wall of the measuring chamber, and the two ends of the arc guide rail section are respectively connected to the two linear guide rail sections.

[0008] The vertical cross-section of the top guide rail is inverted T-shaped. The suspended trolley includes a drive component, a connecting rod, a mounting plate, and sliding wheels. Both ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to vertical mounting plates. Sliding wheels are rotatably arranged on the opposite sides of the two mounting plates. The two sliding wheels are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the top guide rail. The drive component is arranged on the side wall of one of the mounting plates away from the sliding wheel. The movable end of the drive component is slidably connected to the opposite sliding wheel. The temperature measuring element is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod, and the driving element is electrically connected to the control module.

[0009] A lifting component is also provided between the temperature measuring element and the connecting rod. The mounting end of the lifting component is installed on the connecting rod, and the movable end of the lifting component is fixedly connected to the temperature measuring element. The lifting component is electrically connected to the control module.

[0010] The fixed-point temperature measurement module includes thermometers, and multiple thermometers are respectively installed on the fermentation platform of the yeast cake. Each thermometer corresponds to one fermentation platform of the yeast cake, and each thermometer is electrically connected to the control module.

[0011] The fixed-point temperature measurement module also includes a temperature and humidity sensor, which is located at the geometric center of the temperature measurement chamber and is electrically connected to the control module.

[0012] The outer wall of the measuring chamber is also equipped with a display screen, which is electrically connected to the control module.

[0013] The bottom of the measuring chamber is provided with an air inlet, and the top of the measuring chamber is provided with an air outlet.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model can include the following beneficial effects: 1. The combination of fixed-point temperature measurement module and mobile temperature measurement module can comprehensively detect the temperature in every corner of the temperature measurement chamber and promptly identify specific areas with abnormal wall temperatures. This solves the problem of poor fermentation quality in traditional yeast fermentation, where it is impossible to determine the location of air leaks.

[0015] 2. The linear guide rail is arranged close to the inner wall of the measuring chamber, so that the temperature measuring element can be closely attached to the wall along its entire longitudinal length for detection; the arc guide rail achieves a smooth connection between the two linear guide rails, avoiding the blind spot formed at the corner of the wall by the traditional segmented guide rail.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "assembly," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This describes a measuring chamber for fermenting yeast cakes according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] A temperature measuring chamber for fermenting yeast cake includes a temperature measuring chamber 1, wherein the temperature measuring chamber 1 is provided with a plurality of yeast cake fermentation platforms 2, the plurality of yeast cake fermentation platforms 2 being arranged in a matrix, a fixed-point temperature measuring module 4 and a moving temperature measuring module 3 being provided inside the temperature measuring chamber 1, and a control module being provided on the outer wall of the temperature measuring chamber 1, the control module being electrically connected to the fixed-point temperature measuring module 4 and the moving temperature measuring module 3 respectively. The fixed-point temperature measurement module 4 is used to detect the temperature of a fixed point inside the temperature measurement chamber 1. The mobile temperature measurement module 3 includes a top guide rail 31, a suspended trolley 32, and a temperature measuring element 33. The top guide rail 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the temperature measurement chamber 1. The suspended trolley 32 is slidably connected to the top guide rail 31. The lifting component 325 is installed at the bottom of the suspended trolley 32. The temperature measuring element 33 is installed at the movable end of the lifting component 325. The suspended trolley 32 is used to move the temperature measuring element 33 along the wall. The temperature measuring element 33 is used to detect the temperature of the wall of the temperature measurement chamber 1.

[0023] The fixed-point temperature measurement module 4 is designed for detecting key fixed points indoors. It can capture the overall ambient temperature baseline data in real time, ensuring that the core temperature of the fermentation environment is within a suitable temperature range, thus providing a foundation for the stable growth of the microbial community.

[0024] The mobile temperature measurement module 3 focuses on wall temperature detection. Through the horizontal sliding of the top guide rail 31 and the suspended trolley 32 and the vertical adjustment of the lifting component 325, it achieves no dead angle coverage of the wall at all heights and in all areas, accurately captures changes in the wall temperature boundary layer, and avoids blind spots caused by a single temperature measurement method.

[0025] The combination of fixed-point temperature measurement module 4 and mobile temperature measurement module 3 can comprehensively detect the temperature in every corner of the temperature measurement chamber 1, thereby promptly detecting abnormal temperatures in localized areas of the wall, ensuring the purity of the fermentation process, and solving the problem of poor fermentation quality caused by the inability to determine the location of air leaks during traditional yeast fermentation.

[0026] The top guide rail 31 includes a linear guide rail portion 311 and an arc guide rail portion 312. The linear guide rail portion 311 is in close contact with the inner wall of the measuring chamber 1, and the two ends of the arc guide rail portion 312 are respectively connected to the two linear guide rail portions 311.

[0027] The linear guide rail section 311 is arranged close to the inner wall of the measuring chamber 1, allowing the temperature measuring element 33 to be closely fitted along the entire longitudinal length of the wall for detection. The arc guide rail section 312 achieves a smooth connection between the two linear guide rail sections 311, avoiding the detection blind spots formed at the corners of the wall in traditional segmented guide rails. The arc guide rail section 312 allows the suspended trolley 32 to move continuously in a closed loop along the circumference of the wall of the measuring chamber 1, achieving full coverage of the four sides of the wall, completely solving the problem of missed corner temperature detection that is prone to occur with right-angle connecting guide rails, and ensuring the integrity of temperature data for all parts of the wall.

[0028] The top guide rail 31 has an inverted T-shaped vertical cross section. The suspended trolley 32 includes a drive component 321, a connecting rod 322, a mounting plate 323, and a sliding wheel 324. Both ends of the connecting rod 322 are fixedly connected to vertical mounting plates 323. The sliding wheels 324 are rotatably arranged on opposite sides of the two mounting plates 323. The two sliding wheels 324 are respectively arranged on the inner and outer sides of the top guide rail 31. The drive component 321 is arranged on the side wall of one of the mounting plates 323 away from the sliding wheel 324. The movable end of the drive component 321 is slidably connected to the opposite sliding wheel 324. The temperature measuring element 33 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 322, and the driving element 321 is electrically connected to the control module.

[0029] Two sliding wheels 324 are located on the inner and outer sides of the top guide rail 31, respectively, to prevent the suspended trolley 32 from shifting, swaying, or falling off during horizontal movement. Moreover, the top guide rail 31 has an inverted T-shaped structure, which allows it to provide vertical support, ensuring balanced force on the two sliding wheels 324, reducing wear during long-term operation, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0030] Meanwhile, the design of the mounting plates 323 at both ends of the connecting rod 322 makes the overall structure more rigid, can stably bear the weight of the temperature measuring element 33, avoid the positional displacement of the temperature measuring element 33 due to structural deformation, and ensure the consistency of the detection distance.

[0031] It is worth noting that the drive component 321 is a servo motor. The servo motor has a built-in absolute encoder, and a reference point sensor is set at a specific position on the top guide rail 31, with the current vertical coordinate set to 0. When the servo motor rotates by an angle, the encoder outputs a unique position code, directly corresponding to the distance the trolley moves on the top guide rail 31. Therefore, after each revolution, the trolley passes the reference point again, automatically calibrating the encoder's accumulated error. This allows the control module to accurately determine the specific position of the suspended trolley 32, thereby precisely locating the location of air leakage in the wall.

[0032] A lifting component 325 is also provided between the temperature measuring element 33 and the connecting rod 322. The mounting end of the lifting component 325 is installed on the connecting rod 322, and the movable end of the lifting component 325 is fixedly connected to the temperature measuring element 33. The lifting component 325 is electrically connected to the control module.

[0033] The lifting component 325 provides vertical adjustment freedom for the temperature measuring component 33, enabling the temperature measuring component 33 to cover the entire height range of the wall of the temperature measuring chamber 1 from the top, middle to the bottom, completely solving the problem of vertical blind spots in traditional fixed-height temperature measurement.

[0034] The temperature measuring device 33 can fully cover the entire wall of the measuring chamber 1 through the cooperation of the lifting component 325, the top guide rail 31 and the suspension trolley 32. It can not only capture local temperature fluctuations caused by air leakage, but also locate the specific location of the air leakage, thereby improving the fermentation quality of the yeast cake.

[0035] The fixed-point temperature measurement module 4 includes a thermometer 41. Multiple thermometers 41 are respectively installed on the fermentation platform 2. Each thermometer 41 corresponds to a fermentation platform 2. The multiple thermometers 41 are electrically connected to the control module.

[0036] The thermometer 41 corresponds one-to-one with the fermentation platform 2, so that each fermentation platform 2 is equipped with a dedicated temperature measuring unit. The thermometer 41 is directly set in the area of ​​the fermentation platform 2, which can accurately capture the local micro-environment temperature around a single fermentation platform 2. This avoids the shortcomings of traditional centralized fixed-point temperature measurement, which can only obtain the overall average temperature and cannot reflect the temperature difference of a single fermentation platform.

[0037] The fixed-point temperature measurement module 4 also includes a temperature and humidity sensor 42, which is located at the geometric center of the temperature measurement chamber 1 and is electrically connected to the control module.

[0038] Temperature and humidity sensor 42 is deployed at the geometric center of measuring chamber 1. This location is minimally affected by boundary effects such as wall heat dissipation, ground heat conduction, and roof radiation, enabling it to accurately capture the average temperature and humidity data of the overall environment of measuring chamber 1, forming an objective and stable macroscopic environmental benchmark. Compared to traditional random point deployment, the monitoring data at the geometric center is more representative, effectively avoiding benchmark judgment bias caused by environmental fluctuations in peripheral areas, and providing a reliable reference for subsequent local temperature and humidity comparative analysis.

[0039] Temperature and humidity sensor 42 is electrically connected to the control module to achieve centralized linkage analysis of macroscopic temperature and humidity data and local temperature data. When the temperature of a certain fermentation platform 2 is abnormal, the root cause of the abnormality can be quickly located by comparing the temperature and humidity reference value at the geometric center with the corresponding wall temperature data.

[0040] The outer wall of the temperature measurement chamber is also equipped with a display screen 5, which is electrically connected to the control module.

[0041] Display screen 5 is electrically connected to the control module, enabling real-time aggregation and visualization of comprehensive monitoring data, including the three-dimensional temperature of the wall, the temperature of a single fermentation platform 2, and the temperature and humidity at the geometric center of the measuring chamber 1. Operators can quickly grasp the overall state and local details of the fermentation environment simply by observing the display screen 5 on the outer wall of the measuring chamber 1, without needing to access the backend system or dedicated equipment. This avoids the cumbersome querying and delayed information retrieval problems caused by traditional scattered data storage, significantly improving the efficiency of real-time monitoring of the fermentation process.

[0042] Meanwhile, display screen 5 is deployed on the outer wall of the measuring chamber 1, which makes it convenient for multiple staff members to view data at the same time, avoiding information transmission deviations caused by single-person operation and improving data synchronization and decision consistency in production collaboration.

[0043] The bottom of the measuring chamber 1 is provided with an air inlet 61, and the top of the measuring chamber 1 is provided with an air outlet 62.

[0044] Air enters the testing chamber 1 through the bottom air inlet 61 and then flows upward to promptly carry away carbon dioxide, metabolic waste, and other substances produced during the fermentation of the yeast cakes through the air outlet 62. At the same time, it reduces the water vapor concentration in the local high humidity areas of the room and reduces the formation of condensation on the walls and fermentation platform surfaces.

[0045] It is worth noting that the air inlet 61 and the air outlet 62 may be equipped with air filtration devices, fans, and other structures, which will not be described in detail in this utility model.

[0046] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without any inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
