Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of wine making, in particular to a cooling bed for wine making. Background Art

[0002] Solid-state Xiaoqu-type liquor is an important component of Chinese distilled liquor. It uses grains as the main brewing raw materials and Xiaoqu as the saccharification and fermentation agent. It is made through cooking, airing, saccharification, continued fermentation, distillation, aging, and blending. It has a high yield and a short fermentation cycle. Airing requires a cooling bed, and saccharification requires a saccharification bed.

[0003] The cooling beds currently sold on the market have a single function and can only cool grains. If the bacteria are cultivated and saccharified directly on the cooling beds in winter, the wine yield will drop significantly due to the low temperature in winter, and the sieve bottom plate has a porous structure with strong air permeability. The sieve plate dissipates heat quickly and has poor thermal insulation. The quality of the liquor will also deteriorate, and the grain will need to be transferred from the cooling beds to other saccharification boxes or to the ground for saccharification, which increases the labor intensity and cost of the winemaking workers.

[0004] Secondly, when brewing in summer or when the temperature is high, the grains that have just been steamed and gelatinized need to be cooled and ventilated in the cooling bed. The existing cooling bed only has a blower installed under it. The blower can only cool the grain to about 1-2 degrees lower than the room temperature. The cooling capacity is limited. Moreover, as the ventilation time of the grain increases, the surface of the grain will become hard and dehydrated. The grain is also easy to clump, so that some grains cannot contact the koji, which is not conducive to the next saccharification process. The koji is not strong enough, which affects the quality and yield of the liquor. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional cooling bed for wine making, which has cooling and saccharification functions, can reduce the labor intensity and cost of wine workers, and ensure the quality and yield of liquor.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a cooling bed for wine making, including a cooling bed body, a cooling bed frame, a flip door and a sieve plate. A humidifying and blowing channel is provided under the cooling bed body, and a supporting frame and a heat preservation device are provided under the sieve plate of the cooling bed body. The heat preservation device is a water heating system composed of a water heating box, a water heating pipe and a hot water circulation pump. A blower and a humidifier are provided at the air inlet of the humidifying and blowing channel.

[0007] Furthermore, the humidifier is an ion humidifier or an ultrasonic atomizer.

[0008] Furthermore, the sieve holes of the sieve plate are circular or elliptical.

[0009] Furthermore, the support frame is a hollow support frame, and the water heating pipe is composed of the hollow support frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the flip door has a mezzanine, in which a heating cable or an electric heating film is installed, and the temperature can be kept warm on the surrounding areas of the box according to the set temperature.

[0011] Furthermore, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are provided above the sieve plate to monitor the temperature and humidity of grains at various locations. A display screen is provided outside the cooling bed body, and real-time data of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are displayed on the display screen.

[0012] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a PLC controller or a single chip microcomputer, which automatically turns on or off the heating device, the blower or the humidifier according to the real-time data of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor.

[0013] Furthermore, the present invention has wireless network and Internet of Things functions, and can achieve remote control through APP.

[0014] Compared with the related art, the cooling bed for winemaking provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects: in the process of bacterial cultivation and saccharification in winter, the heat preservation device can solve the heat preservation problem in cold weather, and has a significant effect on improving and stabilizing the wine yield; in addition, when the temperature is high or wine is made in summer, the blower and ultrasonic atomizer can significantly reduce the temperature of the box and the pool, and the temperature can be reduced to 4-5 degrees lower than the room temperature, and the moisturizing and cooling effects are more obvious, the grain will not clump, and the grain can be fully exposed to the koji, which is of great significance to improving the wine yield. The cooling bed is multifunctional, and the surface of the cooling bed can be used for cooling and accompanying bacterial saccharification all year round; using the ultrasonic atomizer, another advantage is that it will not cause excessive moisture on the grain. In the process of fan blowing and humidification in summer, the balance between grain moisture evaporation and humidification is guaranteed, and the saccharification and bacterial cultivation process will not be affected.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation modes.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The present invention is a cooling bed for wine brewing, comprising a cooling bed body, a cooling bed frame, a flip door and a sieve plate, wherein the sieve holes of the sieve plate are circular or elliptical. A humidification and blowing passage is arranged under the cooling bed body, a support frame and a heat preservation device are arranged under the sieve plate of the cooling bed body, and the heat preservation device is a water heating system composed of a water heating box, a water heating pipe and a hot water circulation pump. A blower and a humidifier are arranged at the air inlet of the humidification and blowing passage, and the humidifier is an ion humidifier or an ultrasonic atomizer.

[0020] The support frame is a hollow support frame, and the water heating pipe is composed of the hollow support frame.

[0021] The flip door has a sandwich layer, in which a heating cable or an electric heating film is installed, so that the grain around it can be kept warm according to the set temperature.

[0022] A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are arranged above the sieve plate of the present invention to monitor the temperature and humidity of grains at various locations. A display screen is arranged outside the cooling bed body, and real-time data of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are displayed on the display screen.

[0023] The present invention also includes a PLC controller or a single-chip microcomputer, which can set various parameters, such as temperature, humidity, etc., and automatically turn on or off the heating device, blower, or humidifier according to the real-time data of the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor to achieve temperature and humidity regulation.

[0024] The present invention has wireless network and Internet of Things functions, can be remotely controlled through an APP, and can automatically turn on or off a heating device, a blower, or a humidifier according to real-time data from a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor.

[0025] The working principle of the wine-making cooling bed provided by the present invention is as follows: In summer, when the gelatinized grains are just out of the steamer, the temperature and humidity are very high. The blower will be started first to cool down and exhaust the heat. Because the optimal temperature for saccharification in Xiaoqu liquor is about 23-25 ​​degrees, the grain fan can only reduce it to 1-2 degrees lower than the room temperature, and the room temperature in summer often reaches more than 30 degrees. The cooling capacity of the fan alone is limited. The high temperature entering the box is not conducive to saccharification, nor is it conducive to the saccharified grain entering the pool for fermentation. In order to further improve the cooling effect, the ultrasonic atomizer added to the vent can increase the humidity of the grain. The ultrasonic atomizer atomizes water into tiny mist particles of 1um-5um. With water as the medium and the help of the fan wind, the mist water liquid is sprayed into the grain. Using the principle of evaporation cooling, the cooling range can reach 4-5 degrees lower than the room temperature, thereby reducing the saccharification entry temperature and the entry temperature into the pool and increasing the wine output rate.

[0026] Secondly, when brewing in winter, the temperature is low, and the bacteria are cultivated and saccharified on the cooling bed. Due to the porous structure of the sieve plate, it is difficult to heat up the saccharification, especially the grain at the bottom of the saccharification box and around the saccharification box. The temperature will be too low, the grain will regenerate, saccharification cannot be carried out, and the discharge will drop. In order to solve the problem of decreased wine yield in winter, we added water heating insulation in the square tube under the sieve plate. The water heating insulation measure has high safety. Hot water is constantly circulating in the water heating pipe automatically, so that the temperature is evenly distributed on the cooling bed sieve plate, all of which are controlled by the controller. Since the temperature of the grain around the cooling bed drops quickly, the electric heating film or heating cable set in the interlayer of the cooling bed flip door is used to keep the grain around the cooling bed warm. The general temperature is set between 26-32 degrees to ensure the same saccharification rate of the grain in various parts of the cooling bed.

[0027] When blowing grains, the forward and reverse rotation of the blower, that is, the blowing and suction of air by the blower, can keep the temperature of the bottom and upper layers of grains at the same temperature, reduce the number of flipping times, and reduce labor intensity.

[0028] The embodiments described in the present invention are merely descriptions of the preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design concept of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by engineers and technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The technical contents for which protection is sought in the present invention have all been recorded in the claims.
