Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of beer preparation devices, in particular to a malt drying device for beer production. Background Art

[0002] Barley has the characteristics of short growth period, early maturity, high yield, strong stress resistance and wide adaptability. As the raw material of beer, the quality and brewing performance of barley have been paid more and more attention. In the malting process, soaking is the first link of the whole process, which directly affects the germination and drying as well as the quality of malt.

[0003] As a process after soaking malt, the purpose of barley malt drying is to terminate the growth of green malt and the decomposition of enzymes, and to remove excess moisture for easy storage and crushing; and in the drying process, the green taste of green malt can be removed, the activity of enzymes in the malt can be maintained to the greatest extent, and part of the precursor of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) can be volatilized by heating to achieve the purpose of improving the flavor of beer.

[0004] The traditional malt drying operation is to spread the malt flat on the drying net and use hot air with a certain temperature under the drying net to dry it. The operation is simple, but it requires manual spreading of the malt, and because the malt is always fixed on the drying net from beginning to end, it takes more heat energy to complete the malt drying work. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a malt drying device for beer production, which is based on the structure formed by a main cylinder and a circulating cylinder. Through the automatic up and down movement of the tower sleeve and the coordinated transmission formed by the reflux component, as well as the synchronous opening and closing action of the flap during the up and down movement of the tower sleeve, the circulating flow drying work of the malt material in the circulating cylinder can be realized.

[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved through such a technical solution. A malt drying device for beer production includes a fixed barrel assembly, a drying tower assembly, an elastic side baffle member, a reflux assembly and a drying assembly. The fixed barrel assembly includes a main barrel and a rotating barrel, the drying tower assembly includes a tower sleeve, a tower barrel and a bottom slope, the elastic side baffle member includes a flap, the reflux assembly includes an auger barrel, an auger, a reflux bevel gear and a reflux hose, and the drying assembly includes a blowing bevel gear and a blowing motor; The revolving cylinder is connected to one side of the main cylinder, and a side notch is provided on the side where the top of the main cylinder and the revolving cylinder are connected; The tower sleeve is slidably connected to the inside of the main cylinder, and the outer side of the bottom end of the tower is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tower sleeve through a bottom slope. A discharge side opening is opened on one side of the tower sleeve, and the discharge side opening is inclined from the tower to the tower sleeve and to one side of the discharge side opening. The position of the discharge side opening is directly opposite to the position of the side notch; Bottom connecting columns are fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the bottom slope; The flap is screwed into the discharge side opening, and the flap is in a naturally elastic open state, and a cloth cover is connected between the top surface of the flap and the discharge side opening and the top surface of the bottom slope; The auger cylinder is connected to the bottom end of the rotating cylinder, the auger is swivel-connected to the inside of the auger cylinder, the return bevel gear is fixed to the outer shaft end of the auger, a rotatable driving bevel gear is provided below the auger cylinder, and a side connecting bevel gear and a side conversion bevel gear meshing with each other are swivel-connected to the bottom end of the bottom connecting column close to one side of the auger cylinder, and when the tower sleeve moves downward to the drying station, the flap is closed, the side connecting bevel gear meshes with the driving bevel gear, and the side conversion bevel gear meshes with the return bevel gear; The outlet of the auger barrel is connected to the top of the tower through a return hose; A fan wheel plate is fixedly connected to the inner lower part of the main cylinder body, and a blowing fan is rotatably connected to the top of the fan wheel plate. The blowing motor is located on one side of the outer bottom end of the main cylinder body. The blowing bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft of the blowing fan and is transmission-connected to the rotating shaft of the blowing motor.

[0007] The use process of the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: Pour the malt material to be dried into the turnover cylinder, and when the tower sleeve moves downward to the drying station, start the heating mechanism above the blowing fan and start the blowing motor synchronously; The air power generated by the rotation of the blowing fan can blow the heat generated by the heating mechanism upward to the tower, and diffuse to the outside of the tower through the through holes opened in the tower body; When the tower sleeve is located at the downwardly moving drying station, the side connecting bevel gear meshes with the driving bevel gear, and the side conversion bevel gear meshes with the reflux bevel gear. By starting the rotatable driving bevel gear, the side connecting bevel gear and the side conversion bevel gear are connected through the transmission connection to drive the reflux bevel gear to rotate. The reflux bevel gear drives the rotation of the auger located inside the auger barrel. After the rotation, the auger can extract the malt material located in the turnover barrel and input it to the top of the tower from the reflux hose. The function of the tower is to evenly scatter the malt material along the outer surface of the tower to the bottom slope, and a drying effect can be formed in the process of scattering the malt material. Until all the malt materials in the turnover cylinder are transported to the inside of the tower sleeve; Then, when the tower sleeve is moved upward to the position where the flap is opened toward one side of the rotating cylinder, the flap is automatically opened toward the rotating cylinder under the action of elastic force. Since the bottom slope is inclined toward the tower sleeve and the discharge side port, the malt material flowing into the tower sleeve automatically flows into the rotating cylinder under the action of gravity through the guidance of the cloth sleeve and the flap. At this time, the side connecting bevel gear is disengaged from the driving bevel gear, and the side conversion bevel gear is disengaged from the reflux bevel gear, so the auger cannot rotate automatically, and the malt material in the tower sleeve can all flow back into the turnover cylinder; After that, the tower sleeve is moved down to the drying station again. During the downward movement of the tower sleeve, the inner wall of the main cylinder will push the flap to close elastically, closing the discharge side port. Restarting the rotatable driving bevel gear will drive the auger to rotate, so that the malt material in the circulating cylinder can be dried again. This cycle can realize the flow circulation drying of the malt material.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects: (1) The present invention is based on a main cylinder and a rotating cylinder in fixed positions, and a side notch is provided at the position where the top of the main cylinder is connected to the rotating cylinder, and a discharge side port is provided at the position where the side wall of the tower sleeve is directly opposite to the side notch, so that as the tower sleeve moves up and down, the flap in an elastically screwed state can form an automatic open and close state based on the side notch, so that when the tower sleeve moves downward to a position below the side notch, the flap is in a closed position, and when the tower sleeve moves upward to a position directly opposite to the side notch, the flap can be opened in the direction of the rotating cylinder, so that as the tower sleeve moves up and down, the internal space of the tower sleeve and the internal space of the rotating cylinder can be connected and closed; (2) In order to enable the malt material in the tower sleeve to automatically move to the side of the discharge port under the action of its own gravity, the present invention sets the bottom slope to be inclined from the tower barrel to the tower sleeve and to the side of the discharge port, so that the malt material in the tower sleeve can automatically flow to the turnover cylinder when the flap is opened; (3) In the present invention, the driving bevel gear and the reflux bevel gear are set to a non-engaged state. As the tower sleeve moves up and down, the side connecting bevel gear and the side conversion bevel gear that are engaged with each other can move up and down, so that only when the tower sleeve moves downward to the drying station, the side connecting bevel gear can be engaged with the driving bevel gear, and the side conversion bevel gear can be engaged with the reflux bevel gear; thus, only when the tower sleeve is in the drying station, the auger in the auger barrel can rotate, and the malt material can be transported from the rotating barrel to the top of the tower barrel; (4) In addition, the present invention cooperates with the spire-shaped structure formed by the tower itself, and the heat generated by the blowing fan and the heating mechanism above can be evenly and efficiently distributed at various locations on the inner surface of the tower.

A discharge side opening 206 is opened on one side of the tower sleeve 201, and the discharge side opening 206 is inclined from the tower 205 to the tower sleeve 201, and is inclined to the side of the discharge side opening 206. The position of the discharge side opening 206 is opposite to the position of the side notch 106, and bottom connecting columns 202 are fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the bottom slope 207; The flap 301 is screwed into the discharge side opening 206, and the flap 301 is in a naturally elastic open state, and a cloth cover 303 is connected between the top surface of the flap 301 and the discharge side opening 206 and the top surface of the bottom slope 207. The cloth cover 303 can be opened or contracted with the opening and closing of the flap 301. The function of the cloth cover 303 is to guide the material so that the material will not flow into other positions except the flap 301. The auger cylinder 402 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating cylinder 103 and communicates with the inner cavity of the rotating cylinder 103. The auger 405 is screwed inside the auger cylinder 402. The return bevel gear 406 is fixed to the outer shaft end of the auger 405. A rotatable driving bevel gear 409 is provided below the auger cylinder 402. The bottom end of the bottom connecting column 202 near one side of the auger cylinder 402 is screwed with a side connecting bevel gear 412 and a side conversion bevel gear 414 that mesh with each other. , and when the tower sleeve 201 moves downward to the drying station, the flap 301 is closed, the side connecting bevel gear 412 is meshed with the driving bevel gear 409, and the side conversion bevel gear 414 is meshed with the reflux bevel gear 406, conversely, when the tower sleeve 201 moves upward to the station where the flap 301 is opened to the side of the rotating cylinder 103, the side connecting bevel gear 412 is disengaged from the driving bevel gear 409, and the side conversion bevel gear 414 is disengaged from the reflux bevel gear 406; The outlet of the auger barrel 402 is connected to the upper part of the tower 205 through a return hose 415; A fan wheel plate 505 is also fixedly connected to the inner lower part of the main cylinder body 101, and a blowing fan 508 is screwed to the top of the fan wheel plate 505. The blowing motor 514 is located on one side of the outer bottom end of the main cylinder body 101. The blowing bevel gear 509 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft of the blowing fan 508 and is connected to the rotating shaft of the blowing motor 514.

[0015] Here’s how it works: The present invention can realize the flow circulation drying work of malt materials; The malt material to be dried is poured into the rotating cylinder 103, and when the tower sleeve 201 moves downward to the drying station, the heating mechanism above the blowing fan 508 is started, and the blowing motor 514 is started synchronously; The air power generated by the rotation of the blowing fan 508 can blow the heat generated by the heating mechanism upward to the tower 205, and diffuse to the outside of the tower 205 through the through holes opened in the main body of the tower 205; When the tower sleeve 201 is located at the downwardly moving drying station, the side connecting bevel gear 412 is meshed with the driving bevel gear 409, and the side conversion bevel gear 414 is meshed with the reflux bevel gear 406. By starting the rotatable driving bevel gear 409, the reflux bevel gear 406 can be driven to rotate through the transmission connection between the side connecting bevel gear 412 and the side conversion bevel gear 414. The reflux bevel gear 406 drives the rotation of the auger 405 located inside the auger barrel 402. After the rotation, the auger 405 can extract the malt material located in the turnover barrel 103 and input it from the reflux hose 415 to the top of the tower 205. The function of the tower 205 is to evenly scatter the malt material along the outer bottom slope 207 of the tower 205, so that a drying effect can be formed during the malt material dispersing process. Until all the malt materials in the turnover cylinder 103 are transported to the interior of the tower casing 201; Subsequently, when the tower sleeve 201 is moved upward to the position where the flap 301 is opened toward one side of the rotating cylinder 103, the flap 301 automatically springs toward the rotating cylinder 103 under the action of elastic force. Since the bottom slope 207 is inclined toward the tower sleeve 201 and the discharge side port 206, the malt material flowing into the tower sleeve 201 automatically flows into the rotating cylinder 103 under the action of gravity through the cloth sleeve 303 and the flap 301. At this time, the side connecting bevel gear 412 is disengaged from the driving bevel gear 409, and the side conversion bevel gear 414 is disengaged from the reflux bevel gear 406, so that the auger 405 cannot rotate automatically, so that all the malt materials in the tower sleeve 201 can flow back into the turnover cylinder 103; After that, the tower sleeve 201 is moved downward to the drying station again. During the downward movement of the tower sleeve 201, the inner wall of the main cylinder 101 pushes the flap 301 to elastically close, thereby closing the discharge side port 206. Restarting the rotatable driving bevel gear 409 drives the auger 405 to rotate, and the malt material in the rotating cylinder 103 can be dried again; By doing so, the malt material can be dried in a flowing circulation manner.

Since the buffer table 208 protrudes from the outside of the tower 205, the flow speed of the malt material from the top of the tower 205 to the bottom slope 207 can be slowed down, and the contact time between the malt material and the outside of the tower 205 is increased, thereby improving the drying efficiency; hot air outlet holes 209 are also arranged in the main body of the tower 205, which can make the heat inside the tower 205 evenly diffuse into the malt material in contact with the outside of the tower 205.
