The Design of an Automatic Sealing System for Solid-State Fermentation of Xiaoqu Qingxiang Baijiu

Although the mechanization is relatively high in the production process of Solid-State fermentation Xiaoqu Qingxiang Baijiu, the fermentation tank is manually sealed with plastic film, which increases labor intensity, cleaning difficult and reduces automation level. In this paper, an automatic sealing system for solid-state fermentation of Xiaoqu Qingxiang Baijiu is proposed. Firstly, the structure of the fermentation tank and the fermentation cover is designed. Secondly, the installation process of fermentation cover on the fermentation tank with industrial robots is designed. At last, the sealing effect of the fermentation cover was detected by the detection systems of the robot. Meanwhile, the corresponding control of the robot is programmed according to the detection results. This automatic sealing system has the characteristics of high sealing effect and a high degree of automation, which also has the advantages of simple structure, simple operation and the ability of reducing labor intensity. In addition, its use in practice could also satisfy the solid-state fermentation process requirements of Xiaoqu Qingxiang Baijiu.
