Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of winemaking, in particular to a disc-type quantitative feeder. Background Art

[0002] In the baijiu (white liquor) brewing process, fermented mash in the cellar needs to be transferred to the retort for steaming. This transfer method involves using a crane with a bucket to lift the mash from the cellar to the ground, where it is then transferred to the retort via a feeder. The volume of mash required for each retort is constant, and traditionally, measurement of mash volume relies primarily on visual estimation by experienced brewers. This visual estimation is inaccurate, leading to errors in the volume of mash entering the retort, which in turn affects the retorting process and, consequently, the subsequent liquor quality and yield. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The invention provides a disc type quantitative feeder to solve the technical problem of large volume error of steamer mash in traditional manual visual estimation.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a disc-type quantitative feeder, comprising:

[0005] A frame, wherein a discharge port is provided on the frame;

[0006] The hopper is arranged above the frame and is used to hold materials;

[0007] The material distribution mechanism is arranged between the hopper and the discharge port, and is used to transport the material in the hopper into the wine retort in a fixed volume.

[0008] Compared with the traditional visual method, the disc-type quantitative feeder of the present invention can accurately measure the volume of the mash in the hopper and transport it to the wine retort through the discharge port, so that the mash meets the retort process, thereby improving the wine yield of the mash and ensuring the wine quality. At the same time, it also reduces labor intensity and improves production efficiency. It has a simple structure, easy operation and a high degree of automation.

[0009] Furthermore, the material distribution mechanism includes:

[0010] The material distribution plate is arranged on the frame above the discharge port and is movably connected to the frame;

[0011] A material dividing partition is arranged in the material dividing tray and is used to divide the material dividing tray into at least two material dividing grids of equal volume;

[0012] The rotary mechanism is arranged in the middle of the material distribution plate and is used to drive the material distribution plate to rotate relative to the frame;

[0013] A guard is provided outside the rotary mechanism and is arranged above the discharge port and covers the discharge port. The lower end surface of the guard is clearance-matched with the upper end surface of the dividing plate to scrape the material in the dividing grid flat.

[0014] The mash is dropped into the hopper and falls onto the distribution grid below. The rotary mechanism drives the distribution disc to rotate. When the distribution grid is connected to the discharge port, the mash in the distribution grid is discharged from the discharge port into the retort. At the same time, the protective shield scrapes the excess mash above the distribution grid, spreading it evenly within the distribution grid, effectively ensuring that the mash corresponding to the volume of the distribution grid is discharged through the discharge port. By calculating the volume and number of the distribution grids, the distribution disc rotates one full circle to obtain the sum of the volumes of all the distribution grids, thereby accurately discharging a fixed volume of mash from the hopper.

[0015] Furthermore, the material distribution tray is detachably connected to the frame, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning, maintenance, transportation and storage.

[0016] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a mounting plate that matches the outer diameter of the material distribution tray, and the material distribution tray is plugged into the mounting plate. The disassembly and assembly method is simple, the disassembly and assembly speed is fast, and the efficiency is high.

[0017] Furthermore, the rotary mechanism comprises a first reduction motor, a gear and a rotary support connected to the material distribution plate, which are sequentially connected. The power output is stable, the speed regulation is convenient and the cost is low.

[0018] Furthermore, the material dividing plate is a ten-partition plate, and ten material dividing partitions are provided in the material dividing plate, and the ten material dividing partitions divide the material dividing plate into ten material dividing grids of equal volume. Considering the material dividing effect, cost and manufacturing process, the ten-partition plate is preferably used.

[0019] Furthermore, the shape of the discharge port is the same as that of the dividing grid. If the dividing grid is larger than the discharge port, some sticky mash will be adsorbed on the side wall of the dividing grid and will not fall off easily, thereby making the volume of mash entering the wine retort inaccurate, affecting the wine quality and wine yield.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame is provided with rollers, and the upper portion of the frame is provided with a walking mechanism for driving the frame to move horizontally. The frame can run on a guide rail on the ground and switch back and forth between different pits, further improving the versatility of the device.

[0021] Furthermore, the travel mechanism includes a second reduction motor, a coupling, a rotating shaft, a first sprocket, a chain, and a second sprocket, which are arranged on the frame and connected in sequence. The roller is coaxially arranged and fixedly connected to the second sprocket. The second reduction motor drives the rotating shaft through the coupling, which in turn drives the first sprockets at both ends of the rotating shaft to rotate synchronously. The first sprocket then drives the second sprocket to rotate synchronously via the chain. The second sprocket then drives the roller to rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the frame to move on the ground guide rail.

[0022] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a bearing connected to the rotating shaft to ensure the stability of the rotating shaft and the stability of the frame movement.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] 1. Compared with the traditional visual method, the disc-type quantitative feeder of the present invention can accurately measure the volume of the mash in the hopper and transport it to the wine retort through the discharge port, so that the mash meets the retort process, thereby improving the wine yield of the mash and ensuring the wine quality. At the same time, it also reduces labor intensity and improves production efficiency. It has a simple structure, easy operation and a high degree of automation.

[0025] 2. The material distribution tray of the present invention is inserted into the mounting plate, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning, maintenance, transportation and storage of the device; it is also convenient for quick disassembly and assembly.

[0026] 3. The present invention can drive the frame to run on the guide rail on the ground through the walking mechanism, and switch back and forth between different cellars, further improving the versatility of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the disc type quantitative feeder of the present invention includes: a frame 1; a discharge port 14 is provided on the frame 1; a hopper 2 is arranged above the frame 1 and is used to hold materials; a dividing mechanism 3 is arranged between the hopper 2 and the discharge port 14, and is used to transport a fixed volume of material in the hopper 2 to the wine retort.

[0042] The material distribution mechanism 3 includes a distribution tray 31, which is arranged on the frame 1 above the discharge port 14 and is movably connected to the frame 1; a distribution partition 32, which is arranged in the distribution tray 31 and is used to divide the distribution tray 31 into at least two distribution compartments 34 of equal volume; a rotary mechanism, which is arranged in the middle of the distribution tray 31 and is used to drive the distribution tray 31 to rotate relative to the frame 1; and a protective shield 33 is provided on the outer side of the rotary mechanism. The protective shield 33 is arranged above and covers the discharge port 14. The lower end surface of the protective shield 33 is clearance-matched with the upper end surface of the distribution partition 32 to scrape the material in the distribution compartment 34. The rotary mechanism includes a first reduction motor 301, a gear 302, and a rotary support 303 connected to the distribution tray 31, which are connected in sequence.

[0043] The material distribution plate 31 is a ten-partition plate, and ten material distribution partitions 32 are provided in the material distribution plate 31. The ten material distribution partitions 32 divide the material distribution plate 31 into ten material distribution grids 34 of equal volume. The shape of the discharge port 14 is the same as that of the material distribution grid 34.

[0044] Working principle: The mash is put into the hopper 2 and falls onto the dividing grid 34 below the hopper 2. The rotary mechanism drives the dividing plate 31 to rotate. When the dividing grid 34 is connected to the discharge port 14, the mash in the dividing grid 34 is output from the discharge port 14 to the wine retort or transfer equipment below. At the same time, the shield 33 scrapes the excess mash above the dividing grid 34 so that the mash is spread flat in the dividing grid 34, effectively ensuring that the mash of the volume corresponding to the dividing grid 34 is output through the discharge port 14. The volume of the dividing grid 34 can be calculated by measurement, and then the calculated volume of a single dividing grid multiplied by ten is the volume of the mash dumped by one rotation of the dividing plate 31. Therefore, the volume of the mash can be accurately calculated according to the number of rotations of the dividing plate 31, so that the fixed volume of the mash in the hopper 2 can be accurately output. Compared with the traditional visual method, the disc-type quantitative feeder of the present invention can accurately measure the volume of the mash in the hopper and transport it to the wine retort through the discharge port, so that the mash meets the retort process, thereby improving the wine yield of the mash and ensuring the wine quality. At the same time, it also reduces labor intensity and improves production efficiency. It has a simple structure, easy operation and a high degree of automation.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement made on the basis of the embodiment 1. The frame 1 is provided with a mounting plate 11 matching the outer diameter of the material distribution tray 31 , and the material distribution tray 31 is plugged into the mounting plate 11 .

[0047] Working principle: When installing, just plug the distribution plate 31 into the installation plate 11. It is convenient for subsequent cleaning, maintenance, transportation and storage of the device; it is also convenient for quick disassembly and assembly.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement based on the first embodiment. The frame 1 is provided with a roller 12 at the bottom, and a travel mechanism is provided on the upper portion of the frame 1 for driving the frame 1 to move horizontally. The travel mechanism includes a second reduction motor 41, a coupling 42, a rotating shaft 43, a first sprocket 44, a chain (not shown), and a second sprocket 45, which are arranged on the frame 1 and connected in sequence. The roller 12 and the second sprocket 45 are coaxially arranged and fixedly connected. The frame 1 is also provided with a bearing 13 connected to the rotating shaft 43.

[0050] Working Principle: When the disc-type quantitative feeder needs to be switched between different pits, the second reduction motor 41 drives the rotating shaft 43 through the coupling 42, which in turn drives the first sprockets 44 at both ends of the rotating shaft 43 to rotate synchronously. The first sprocket 44 then drives the second sprocket 45 to rotate synchronously through the chain. The second sprocket 45 drives the roller 12 to rotate synchronously, realizing the movement of the frame 1 on the ground guide rail, further improving the versatility of the device.

[0051] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present invention are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
