Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of feeding devices, specifically a humidifying and heat-preserving feeding device for beer brewing. Background Technology

[0002] Beer brewing is a process that uses malt and water as core ingredients, and involves saccharification, boiling, and fermentation to produce a fermented beverage. Beer malt is the core raw material for brewing beer, made from barley through soaking, germination, and drying. Its production requires control over grading and selection to improve quality. Byproducts such as malt husks can be recycled for pharmaceutical and feed processing. Malt converts starch into sugars through enzymatic hydrolysis and provides nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients to support yeast fermentation. Based on the process, malt is classified into basic malt, roasted malt, etc., and different flavors and colors are formed through caramelization. During the process of conveying malt to the brewing tank, the malt needs to be humidified and kept warm. The traditional method of humidification and heat preservation is to use a closed cart, place the malt in the cart, spray water into the cart and heat it to achieve the function of humidification and heat preservation. However, this method still requires manual pushing of raw materials, and its feeding efficiency is low. In order to improve this situation, a humidification and heat preservation feeding device for beer brewing is proposed.

[0003] As disclosed in the patent announcement CN220949937U, a food raw material uniform feeding device includes a screw conveyor body. The surface of the screw conveyor body is provided with a discharge port and a feed hopper. The inner wall of the feed hopper is provided with a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a fixing ring. The side of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper. A spring is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing ring. A connecting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the spring. The side of the connecting ring is movably connected to the inner wall of the feed hopper. A filter screen is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting ring. A storage assembly is provided on the surface of the filter screen.

[0004] Although it achieves the effect of filtering out particulate impurities in raw materials by setting up a fixed ring, spring, filter screen and vibrator, thus making the processed food products of higher quality, it also achieves the effect of filtering out impurities in raw materials and making food of higher quality.

[0005] However, the existing feeding device does not solve the problem that it is not conducive to uniformly stirring and humidifying the beer malt while providing water mist, nor is it conducive to multi-point heat preservation of the beer malt and automatic cleaning of the beer malt residue in the feeding box, thus affecting the humidification and heat preservation effect. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a humidifying and heat-preserving feeding device for beer brewing, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the feeding device being inconvenient to uniformly stir and humidify the beer malt while providing water mist, which is not conducive to multi-point heat preservation of the beer malt and automatic cleaning of the beer malt residue in the feeding box, thus affecting the humidifying and heat-preserving effect.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A humidifying and heat-insulating feeding device for beer brewing includes a support frame and a material bin. The material bin is located at the top of the support frame, and a feeding pipe is located at the bottom of the material bin. A spiral blade is movably installed inside the feeding pipe. A second servo motor is located at the end of the feeding pipe away from the material bin, and the output end of the second servo motor is connected to the spiral blade. A drive seat is located at the center of the top of the material bin. A transfer frame is located on the top of the material bin on one side of the drive seat. A first servo motor is located on the side wall of the drive seat. A worm gear is installed at the output end of the first servo motor. A hollow shaft is movably installed inside the drive seat on one side of the worm gear, and the hollow shaft extends into the interior of the material bin and is movably connected to the material bin. The hollow shaft is also movably connected to the transfer frame.

[0008] Optionally, a worm gear is fitted onto the surface of the hollow shaft inside the drive seat, and the worm gear meshes with the worm.

[0009] Optionally, the hollow shaft surface inside the material box is provided with multiple sets of stirring racks at equal intervals, and the top of the material box on both sides of the drive seat is provided with a water tank and an atomizer, respectively.

[0010] Optionally, the top of the adapter is provided with an electric diversion valve, and both input ports of the electric diversion valve are equipped with delivery pipes.

[0011] Optionally, a water pump is provided on the side wall of the water tank, and one set of delivery pipes is connected to the water pump, and another set of delivery pipes is connected to the output end of the atomizer.

[0012] Optionally, the surface of the hopper around the drive seat is provided with four sets of heating rods at equal intervals, and the heating rods extend into the interior of the hopper.

[0013] Optionally, an electric push rod is provided on the surface of the hopper on one side of the heating rod, and a push arm is installed at the output end of the electric push rod.

[0014] Optionally, a spiral scraper is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the hopper, and the spiral scraper is connected to the push arm.

[0015] Optionally, the surface of the hopper is provided with a feed inlet, and an electric valve is provided inside the hopper below the mixing rack.

[0016] Optionally, a PLC controller is provided on the side wall of the material box, and the output terminal of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the input terminals of the water pump, electric diversion valve, atomizer, electric push rod, heating rod, first servo motor and second servo motor.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the feeding device not only realizes the uniform stirring and humidification of beer malt while providing water mist, which facilitates multi-point heat preservation of beer malt and automatic cleaning of residual beer malt in the feed box, but also improves the effect of humidification and heat preservation.

[0018] The feed hopper is divided into upper and lower compartments by an electric valve. Beer malt is poured into the feed hopper through the inlet, at which point the electric valve is closed, and the beer malt accumulates in the upper compartment. When humidification is needed, atomized water is atomized by an atomizer and fed into the hollow shaft through a set of delivery pipes and an electric diverter valve. The water mist enters the mixing rack through the hollow shaft and is sprayed out from the holes on the surface of the mixing rack. A first servo motor drives a worm gear to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow shaft to rotate via a worm wheel. The hollow shaft is supported by a transfer frame during rotation. The hollow shaft drives the mixing rack to rotate, and the mixing rack agitates the beer malt. Water mist is injected into the beer malt to ensure thorough humidification. When heat preservation is required, multiple heating rods are turned on and set to a rated temperature. The heating rods then provide heat to the beer malt, achieving the desired heat preservation effect. The beer malt falls through an electric valve into the lower space of the hopper and enters the feeding pipe. A second servo motor drives the spiral blades to rotate, which in turn moves the beer malt and discharges it through the outlet on the surface of the feeding pipe, thus completing the feeding process. This design allows for uniform stirring of the beer malt while providing water mist, ensuring even humidification.

[0019] After the beer malt in the feed hopper is emptied, the electric diversion valve is opened, closing the current water mist supply channel and opening another channel. The water pump then pumps clean water from the tank through another set of delivery pipes, the electric diversion valve, and the hollow shaft pump into the mixing rack, from which it is sprayed out. The first servo motor drives the hollow shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the mixing rack to rotate. The mixing rack then splashes water onto the inner wall of the feed hopper to clean the beer malt adhering to the inner wall. An electric push rod drives the push arm to move downwards, which in turn drives the U-shaped scraper to move downwards. The U-shaped scraper then scrapes off any remaining beer malt from the inner wall of the feed hopper, automatically cleaning the upper space inside the feed hopper. This reduces the need for manual cleaning and saves labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a humidifying and heat-preserving feeding device for beer brewing, including a support frame 1 and a material box 3. The material box 3 is provided at the top of the support frame 1, and a feeding pipe 2 is provided at the bottom of the material box 3. A spiral blade 21 is movably installed inside the feeding pipe 2. A second servo motor 22 is provided at the end of the feeding pipe 2 away from the material box 3, and the output end of the second servo motor 22 is connected to the spiral blade 21. A drive seat 6 is provided at the center of the top of the material box 3. A converter frame 9 is provided on the top of the material box 3 on one side of the drive seat 6. A side wall of the drive seat 6 is provided with A first servo motor 18 is provided, and a worm gear 19 is installed at the output end of the first servo motor 18. A hollow shaft 13 is movably installed inside the drive seat 6 on one side of the worm gear 19, and the hollow shaft 13 extends into the interior of the material box 3 and is movably connected to the material box 3. The hollow shaft 13 is also movably connected to the adapter frame 9. A worm wheel 20 is fitted on the surface of the hollow shaft 13 inside the drive seat 6, and the worm wheel 20 meshes with the worm gear 19. Multiple sets of stirring racks 5 with equal spacing are provided on the surface of the hollow shaft 13 inside the material box 3. A water tank 7 and an atomizer 10 are respectively provided on the top of the material box 3 on both sides of the drive seat 6.

[0030] An electric diversion valve 8 is installed at the top of the adapter frame 9, and both input ports of the electric diversion valve 8 are equipped with delivery pipes 24.

[0031] A water pump 23 is installed on the side wall of the water tank 7, and a set of delivery pipes 24 are connected to the water pump 23, and another set of delivery pipes 24 are connected to the output end of the atomizer 10.

[0032] Four sets of heating rods 11 with equal spacing are provided on the surface of the material box 3 around the drive seat 6, and the heating rods 11 extend into the interior of the material box 3.

[0033] In this utility model, the PLC controller 12 is a Siemens S7-200, which is existing technology. Therefore, its internal structure, working principle, and connection and control method with the electrical components in this application will not be described in detail. The inside of the feed hopper 3 is divided into upper and lower spaces by an electric valve 4. Beer malt is poured into the feed hopper 3 through the feed inlet 17. At this time, the electric valve 4 is closed, and the beer malt accumulates in the upper space. When humidification is needed, the atomizer 10 is turned on, and the atomizer 10 atomizes pure water and inputs it into the hollow shaft 13 through a set of conveying pipes 24 and an electric diverter valve 8. The water mist enters the stirring rack 5 through the hollow shaft 13 and is sprayed out from the holes on the surface of the stirring rack 5. At this time, the first servo motor 18 is turned on, and the first servo motor 18 drives the worm gear 19 to rotate. Under the mutual meshing of the worm gear 19 and the worm wheel 20, the worm gear 19 drives the hollow shaft 13 to rotate through the worm wheel 20. When shaft 13 rotates, it is supported by adapter frame 9. The hollow shaft 13 drives the stirring frame 5 to rotate, which stirs the beer malt. At the same time, water mist is injected into the beer malt to make it more fully humidified. When it needs to be kept warm, multiple sets of heating rods 11 are turned on and the rated temperature is set. The heating rods 11 can then provide heat to the beer malt to achieve the effect of keeping it warm. Then, the electric valve 4 is turned on, and the beer malt falls into the lower space of the material box 3 through the electric valve 4 and enters the interior of the feeding pipe 2. The second servo motor 22 is turned on, and the second servo motor 22 drives the spiral blade 21 to rotate. The spiral blade 21 moves the beer malt and discharges it through the outlet on the surface of the feeding pipe 2 to complete the feeding of beer malt. The above design can provide water mist while uniformly stirring the beer malt and can perform uniform humidification of the beer malt.

[0034] Electric push rods 14 are installed on the surface of the material box 3 on one side of the heating rod 11, and push arms 15 are installed on the output end of the electric push rods 14.

[0035] A spiral scraper 16 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the material box 3, and the spiral scraper 16 is connected to the push arm 15. A feed inlet 17 is provided on the surface of the material box 3, and an electric valve 4 is provided inside the material box 3 below the mixing rack 5.

[0036] A PLC controller 12 is installed on the side wall of the material box 3, and the output terminal of the PLC controller 12 is electrically connected to the input terminals of the water pump 23, the electric diversion valve 8, the atomizer 10, the electric push rod 14, the heating rod 11, the first servo motor 18, and the second servo motor 22.

[0037] After the beer malt in the feed hopper 3 is emptied, the electric diversion valve 8 is opened to close the current water mist supply channel and open another channel. The water pump 23 is then turned on, and the water in the water tank 7 is pumped through another set of delivery pipes 24, the electric diversion valve 8, and the hollow shaft 13 to the mixing rack 5 and sprayed out from the mixing rack 5. The first servo motor 18 is turned on again, driving the hollow shaft 13 to rotate. The hollow shaft 13 drives the mixing rack 5 to rotate, and under the action of centrifugal force, the mixing rack 5 splashes water. The machine moves to the inner wall of the container 3 to clean the beer malt adhering to the inner wall. While cleaning, the electric push rod 14 is activated, which drives the push arm 15 to move downward. The push arm 15 drives the U-shaped scraper 16 to move downward. With the sliding cooperation between the U-shaped scraper 16 and the container 3, the U-shaped scraper 16 scrapes off the beer malt that has not been cleaned off from the inner wall of the container 3, thus automatically cleaning the upper space inside the container 3. This reduces the need for manual cleaning and saves labor costs.

[0038] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: The inside of the feed hopper 3 is divided into upper and lower spaces by an electric valve 4. Beer malt is poured into the feed hopper 3 through the feed inlet 17. At this time, the electric valve 4 is in the closed state, and the beer malt accumulates in the upper space. When humidification is required, the atomizer 10 atomizes pure water and inputs it into the hollow shaft 13 through a set of conveying pipes 24 and an electric diverter valve 8. The water mist enters the stirring rack 5 through the hollow shaft 13 and is sprayed out from the holes on the surface of the stirring rack 5. The first servo motor 18 drives the worm gear 19 to rotate. The worm gear 19 drives the hollow shaft 13 to rotate via the worm wheel 20. The hollow shaft 13 is supported by the adapter frame 9 during rotation. The hollow shaft 13 drives the stirring rack 5 to rotate, which in turn stirs the beer malt. Simultaneously, water mist is injected into the beer malt to further humidify it. When heat preservation is required, multiple heating rods 11 are turned on and set to a rated temperature. The heating rods 11 then provide heat to the beer malt, achieving the heat preservation effect. The beer malt falls into the lower part of the hopper 3 through the electric valve 4. The malt enters the feeding pipe 2 and is driven by the second servo motor 22 to rotate the spiral blades 21. The spiral blades 21 move the beer malt and discharge it through the outlet on the surface of the feeding pipe 2, thus completing the feeding of the beer malt. After the beer malt in the feed hopper 3 is emptied, the electric diversion valve 8 is opened to close the current water mist supply channel and open another channel. The water pump 23 pumps the clean water in the water tank 7 through another set of conveying pipes 24, the electric diversion valve 8, and the hollow shaft 13 to the mixing rack 5 and sprays it out from the mixing rack 5. Servo motor 18 drives hollow shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives stirring rack 5 to rotate. Stirring rack 5 splashes water onto the inner wall of material bin 3 to clean the beer malt adhering to the inner wall of material bin 3. Electric push rod 14 drives push arm 15 to move downward, which in turn drives circular scraper rack 16 to move downward. Circular scraper rack 16 scrapes down the beer malt that has not been cleaned off the inner wall of material bin 3, thus automatically cleaning the upper space inside material bin 3. The above is the complete usage of the humidifying and heat-insulating feeding device for beer brewing.

Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
