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

[0024] 1. The present invention provides a wine-making equipment. By selecting a motor with forward and reverse rotation functions, the user controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor according to the control switch of the motor. When the motor rotates forward, it drives the mixing device to crush the grain in the discharge barrel.

[0027] 4. The present invention provides a brewing equipment, wherein the motor rotates to drive the mounting rod to rotate through the vent pipe, and the mounting rod rotates to drive the fan to rotate.

[0028] When the grain needs to be cooled after being steamed, the motor rotates again to drive the crushing knife to stir through the ventilation pipe, while driving the fan to rotate. When the fan rotates, it produces an air cooling effect, which improves the heat dissipation effect of the grain in the discharge barrel during stirring, shortens the heat dissipation time, and improves work efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The present invention provides a wine-making device. In the existing home-based solid-state fermentation wine-making, during the processes of grain crushing, soaking and fermentation, multiple containers need to be used to complete the corresponding processes respectively. Before the final grain fermentation, the grain processed through multiple processes such as crushing, soaking, steaming, cooling, adding wine yeast and mixing, etc., must be finally transferred to a fermentation tank. During the transfer process, the steamed and soaked grains are easy to adhere to the containers and utensils due to their high viscosity, and are difficult to clean. At the same time, when the soaked grains are transferred, liquid splashing and dripping are easy to occur, thereby increasing the labor burden of later cleaning, and causing grain waste, thereby reducing the wine yield.

[0037] The technical solution of the present invention is to improve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows: by selecting a motor 7 with forward and reverse rotation functions, the user controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 7 according to the control switch of the motor 7. When the motor 7 rotates forward, it drives the mixing device 6 to crush the grain in the discharge barrel 3. When the motor 7 reverses, it drives the mixing device 6 to stir the grain in the discharge barrel 3, so that the grain crushing, stirring and distillation are all carried out in the discharge barrel 3, integrating multiple processes into one, without the need for transfer, greatly reducing the phenomenon of grain waste caused by grain transfer, and reducing the number of containers required for grain in the winemaking process, thereby reducing the number of times the containers are cleaned in the later stage, reducing the work intensity, and no manual stirring is required. The stirring is controlled by a motor, which improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the grain in the discharge barrel 3 after steaming, shortens the heat dissipation time, improves the work efficiency, further reduces the work intensity, and the stirring heat dissipation makes the grain heat dissipated evenly, thereby enhancing the quality of the lees;

[0038] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods;

[0039] The present invention provides a brewing device, comprising a heating plate 1 and a steaming plate 2 arranged above the heating plate 1, and further comprising:

[0040] A discharge barrel 3, wherein the discharge barrel 3 is arranged outside the heating plate 1;

[0041] A cavity 4, wherein the cavity 4 is opened on the side wall of the discharge barrel 3, and the heating plate 1 is arranged in the cavity 4 and fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge barrel 3;

[0042] A barrel cover 5, wherein the barrel cover 5 is engaged with the upper surface of the discharge barrel 3 to achieve sealing of the discharge barrel 3;

[0043] A mixing device 6, which is arranged inside the discharge barrel 3 and is used to crush and mix the sorghum or distiller's grains in the discharge barrel 3;

[0044] A motor 7, wherein the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the barrel cover 5, and an output end of the motor 7 passes through the barrel cover 5 downward and extends to the inside of the material discharge barrel 3, so as to provide power for the material mixing device 6;

[0045] By adopting the above technical scheme, the motor 7 has the forward and reverse functions. When people add grains into the feeding bucket 3, according to the control switch of the motor 7, the motor 7 is started to rotate forward, and the rotating shaft of the motor 7 rotates forward to transmit power to the mixing device 6. At this time, the mixing device 6 crushes the grains in the feeding bucket 3. When the grains are crushed, the motor 7 is turned off, and water is added to the feeding bucket 3 to soak the crushed grains. After the soaking is completed, the water is discharged for steaming. After steaming, it is cooled. When it is cooled to 35°C, the distiller's yeast is added to the feeding bucket 3 to mix with the grains. In the above process, when the grains are steamed, the user starts the motor 7 in reverse according to the control switch of the motor 7. The motor 7 rotates, and the rotating shaft of the motor 7 is reversed to transmit the power to the mixing device 6 again. At this time, the mixing device 6 stirs the grain, accelerates the heat dissipation, and can automatically stir the grain after the wine yeast is added evenly without manual stirring. The above actions are all performed in the discharge barrel 3, integrating multiple processes into one, without transfer, which greatly reduces the phenomenon of grain waste caused by grain transfer, and reduces the containers required for grain in the winemaking process, thereby reducing the number of times the containers are cleaned in the later stage, reducing the work intensity, and the motor 7 drives the mixing device 6 to stir, without manual stirring, further reducing the work intensity, and reducing the fatigue caused to people during the winemaking process;

[0046] Compared with the existing home-based solid-state fermentation winemaking, during the grain crushing, soaking and fermentation processes, multiple containers need to be used to complete the corresponding processes respectively, and before the final grain fermentation, the grain processed through multiple processes such as crushing, soaking, steaming, cooling, adding koji and mixing must be finally transferred to the fermentation tank. During the transfer process, the steamed and soaked grains are easy to adhere to the containers and utensils due to their high viscosity, and are difficult to clean. At the same time, when the soaked grains are transferred, liquid splashing and dripping are easy to occur, thereby increasing the labor burden of later cleaning, and causing grain waste, thereby reducing the wine yield;

[0047] The present invention selects a motor 7 with forward and reverse rotation functions. The user controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 7 according to the control switch of the motor 7. When the motor 7 rotates forward, it drives the mixing device 6 to crush the grain in the discharge barrel 3. When the motor 7 reverses, it drives the mixing device 6 to stir the grain in the discharge barrel 3, so that the grain crushing, stirring and distillation are all carried out in the discharge barrel 3, integrating multiple working steps into one, without the need for transfer, greatly reducing the phenomenon of grain waste in the grain transfer process, and reducing the number of containers required for grain in the winemaking process, thereby reducing the number of times the containers are cleaned in the later stage, reducing the work intensity, and no manual stirring is required. The stirring is controlled by a motor, which improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the grain in the discharge barrel 3 after steaming, shortens the heat dissipation time, improves work efficiency, further reduces work intensity, and the stirring heat dissipation makes the grain dissipate heat evenly, thereby enhancing the quality of the lees.

[0048] As an embodiment of the present invention, the mixing device 6 comprises:

[0049] A vent pipe 61, the inner surface of which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 7;

[0050] A plurality of crushing knives 62, each of which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the vent pipe 61, and the plurality of crushing knives 62 are staggered, and the width of the back of the crushing knives 62 is in the range of 2-4 mm;

[0051] By adopting the above technical solution, when people add grains to the steaming plate 2 in the discharge barrel 3, according to the control switch of the motor 7, the motor 7 is started to rotate forward, and the forward rotation of the rotating shaft of the motor 7 drives the ventilation pipe 61 fixedly connected thereto to rotate forward, and the forward rotation of the ventilation pipe 61 drives the multiple crushing knives 62 fixed thereon to rotate forward. During the process of the multiple crushing knives 62 rotating forward rapidly, the blades of the crushing knives 62 are in front contact with the grains, and the blades of the crushing knives 62 crush the grains in the discharge barrel 3. After the grains are crushed, the motor 7 is turned off, and water is added to soak them. After the soaking is completed, Excess water is drained, and a proper amount of water is added to the discharge barrel 3 again, and then the heating plate 1 is started. The heating plate 1 heats the discharge barrel 3, and the water in the discharge barrel 3 gradually heats up to steam the soaked grains on the steaming plate 2. After the grains are steamed, the heating plate 1 switch is turned off to drain the hot water. At this time, the user controls the switch according to the motor 7 to start the motor 7 in reverse, and the motor 7 reverses to drive the vent pipe 61 fixedly connected to its rotating shaft to reverse, and the vent pipe 61 reverses to drive the multiple crushing knives 62 fixedly connected to its outer surface to rotate in the opposite direction, and the crushing knives 62 reversely rotate. When the grain is stirred, the back of the crushing knife 62 contacts the front of the grain, and the back of the crushing knife 62 stirs the grain in the discharge barrel 3 to accelerate the heat dissipation and shorten the heat dissipation time. There is no need to take it out to cool. When the steamed grain is stirred and gradually cools down to 35°C, add koji and continue stirring to improve the mixing efficiency of koji and grain. After stirring for a period of time, when the grain and koji are evenly mixed, turn off the motor 7. After the grain evenly mixed with koji is fermented in the discharge barrel 3 for a period of time, start the motor 7 again, and the motor 7 is reversed again. The crushing blade 62 is driven to rotate in the opposite direction, and the back of the crushing blade 62 stirs the fermented grain to loosen the fermented grain, and then the motor 7 is turned off, water is added to the discharge barrel 3, and the heating plate 1 is started again. The heating plate 1 heats the water in the discharge barrel 3 to distill the fermented grain, i.e., the lees. During the distillation process, if the user is worried that the lees will gelatinize, the user can control the switch of the motor 7 to control the rotating shaft of the motor 7 to rotate slowly, driving the back of the crushing blade 62 to slowly stir the lees, thereby reducing the probability of gelatinization and improving the quality of the wine;

[0052] By selecting a motor 7 with forward and reverse rotation functions, the user can control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 7 according to the control switch of the motor 7. When the motor 7 rotates forward, it drives the mixing mechanism to crush the grain in the discharge barrel 3. When the motor 7 rotates reversely, it drives the mixing mechanism to stir the grain in the discharge barrel 3, so that the grain crushing, stirring and distillation are all carried out in the discharge barrel 3, integrating multiple processes into one, without the need for transfer, greatly reducing the phenomenon of grain waste caused by grain transfer, and reducing the number of containers required for grain in the winemaking process, thereby reducing the number of times the containers are cleaned in the later stage, reducing the work intensity, and no manual stirring is required. The stirring is controlled by the motor, which improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the grain in the discharge barrel 3 after steaming, shortens the heat dissipation time, improves the work efficiency, further reduces the work intensity, and the stirring heat dissipation makes the grain heat dissipated evenly, thereby enhancing the quality of the lees;

[0053] At the same time, if the user is worried that the lees may become gelatinized, the user can control the switch of the motor 7 to control the rotating shaft of the motor 7 to rotate slowly, driving the back of the crushing knife 62 to slowly stir the lees, thereby reducing the probability of gelatinization and improving the quality of the wine.

[0054] As an embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of crushing knives 62 are all configured in a spiral shape;

[0055] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting multiple crushing knives 62 to be spiral, when the motor 7 is started, the rotating shaft of the motor 7 drives the ventilation pipe 61 to rotate, and the rotation of the ventilation pipe 61 drives the crushing knives 62 to rotate. Since the multiple crushing knives 62 are all spiral, the crushing knives 62 are in a spiral upward shape when rotating. When the crushing knives 62 rotate, they stir the grain and drive the grain at the bottom to move upward, thereby further improving the stirring effect.

[0056] As an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of ventilation holes 8 are provided on the ventilation pipe 61, and a filter screen 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of each of the plurality of ventilation holes 8;

[0057] By adopting the above technical solution, since more grains are gathered in the discharge barrel 3, when the heating plate 1 is heated and distilled, the steam generated by the bottom grain often rises slowly and has a large resistance. Therefore, a plurality of vent holes 8 are provided on the vent pipe 61, so that the steam generated by the bottom grain enters the vent holes 8 at the bottom of the vent pipe 61, and the steam generated by the bottom grain gradually moves upward through the drainage of the vent pipe 61 and flows out from the upper vent holes 8 on the vent pipe 61 into the top of the discharge barrel 3, thereby increasing the gas flow rate of the steam generated by the bottom grain, increasing the steam volume, and further increasing the wine yield;

[0058] At the same time, by setting up multiple ventilation holes 8, each surface of which is fixedly connected to a filter screen 9, and the filter screen 9 is made of a cotton net, which is non-toxic when heated, so that the ventilation holes 8 on the ventilation pipe 61 can be ventilated normally while preventing food from entering the ventilation pipe 61 through the ventilation holes 8 and causing food waste, and can ensure the safety of wine consumption.

[0059] As an embodiment of the present invention, the inner surface of the end of the ventilation pipe 61 away from the rotating shaft of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to a mounting rod 10, and a plurality of scrapers 11 are fixedly connected to the mounting rod 10 and located above the steaming plate 2, and the lower surface of the scraper 11 contacts the upper surface of the steaming plate 2, and a discharge port 12 is opened on the discharge barrel 3 and located at the scraper 11;

[0060] By adopting the above technical solution, when the distiller's grains in the discharge barrel 3 are distilled, the user needs to clean up the distiller's grains in the discharge barrel 3 so that the next group of grains can be used for brewing. At this time, the user needs to turn off the heating plate 1 and start the motor 7. The rotation shaft of the motor 7 drives the vent pipe 61 fixedly connected to the rotation shaft to rotate. The rotation of the vent pipe 61 drives the mounting rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting rod 10 drives the multiple scrapers 11 fixedly connected to the mounting plate to rotate. The rotation of the multiple scrapers 11 pushes the distiller's grains to gradually discharge from the discharge port 12.

[0061] At the same time, when crushing and stirring are required, the discharge port 12 is in a sealed state, and the user controls the motor 7 to rotate forward and reverse. The rotating shaft of the motor 7 drives the ventilation pipe 61 to rotate, and the ventilation pipe 61 drives the crushing knife 62 to rotate. At the same time, the rotation of the ventilation pipe 61 drives the scraper 11 to rotate. Since the discharge port 12 is sealed at this time, the scraper 11 stirs the grain when it rotates, and cooperates with the crushing knife 62 to further improve the stirring effect.

[0062] As an embodiment of the present invention, the mounting rod 10 passes downward through the steaming plate 2, the material discharging barrel 3 and the heating plate 1, and the end of the mounting rod 10 away from the ventilation pipe 61 is located in the cavity 4 and is fixedly connected to the fan 13;

[0063] By adopting the above technical solution, when the heating plate 1 heats the grain in the discharge barrel 3, a vent hole is opened on the outer wall of the discharge barrel 3. When heating, the rubber plug is inserted into the vent hole to seal the cavity 4. At this time, the user starts the motor 7 to slowly reverse, and the motor 7 slowly reverses through the ventilation pipe 61 to drive the crushing knife 62 to slowly rotate to stir the grain, thereby reducing the occurrence of grain cooking and gelatinization.

[0064] At the same time, the motor 7 rotates the shaft, driving the vent pipe 61 to rotate, the vent pipe 61 rotates to drive the mounting rod 10 to rotate, the mounting rod 10 rotates to drive the fan 13 to rotate, and the heating plate 1 is arranged at the bottom of the cavity 4 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge barrel 3. Therefore, when the heating plate 1 is started, most of the heat generated by the heating plate 1 is in direct contact with the bottom of the discharge barrel 3 to heat the discharge barrel 3, while a small part of the heat is dissipated in the cavity 4. At this time, the temperature at the bottom of the cavity 4 rises first. Therefore, when the fan 13 rotates, the fan 13 rotates to generate a blowing force from bottom to top in the cavity 4, blowing the air with higher temperature at the bottom of the cavity 4 Blowing to the upper part of the cavity 4, that is, the wind blown out by the fan 13 in the cavity 4 at this time is hot wind, stirring the hot air in the cavity 4, reducing the temperature difference in the cavity 4, so that the temperature of the upper and lower ends of the cavity 4 is relatively high and the heating is uniform, and the cavity 4 is arranged on the side wall of the discharge barrel 3, thereby accelerating the heating of the discharge barrel 3 by the heating plate 1, and then accelerating the distillation speed of the grain by the heating plate 1, and the heat flow gradually rises from the bottom of the cavity 4, improving the effect of uniform heating of the grain from top to bottom, and at the same time, the connection between the mounting rod 10 and the steaming plate 2, the discharge barrel 3 and the heating plate 1 is connected by a shaft sealing device to ensure that the mounting rod 10 rotates normally while achieving sealing;

[0065] When the grain needs to be cooled after being steamed, the rubber plug at the vent is opened. At this time, the cavity 4 is connected to the outside air, and the motor 7 rotates again to drive the crushing knife 62 to stir through the vent pipe 61. At the same time, the rotating shaft of the motor 7 drives the mounting rod 10 to rotate through the vent pipe 61, and the rotation of the mounting rod 10 drives the fan 13 to rotate. When the fan 13 rotates, wind force from bottom to top is generated again. At this time, the heating plate 1 is turned off, and the heating plate 1 does not generate heat at this time. Therefore, when the fan 13 rotates at this time, wind force is generated in the cavity 4. Since the heating plate 1 does not generate heat at this time, the wind blown upward by the fan 13 is cold wind. The wind cooling effect of the fan 13 is used to blow the hot air flow in the cavity 4 outward from the vent, thereby accelerating the cooling of the discharge barrel 3, improving the heat dissipation effect during stirring, shortening the heat dissipation time, and improving work efficiency.

[0066] As an embodiment of the present invention, a feed inlet 14 is provided on the discharge barrel 3 and located above the steaming plate 2, and a water inlet 15 is provided on the discharge barrel 3 and located below the steaming plate 2;

[0067] By adopting the above technical scheme, a feed port 14 is opened on the discharge barrel 3 and above the steaming plate 2, so that the user can add grain and koji into the discharge barrel 3 through the feed port 14. A water inlet 15 is opened on the discharge barrel 3 and below the steaming plate 2. The user can use a water pump to inject water at the water inlet 15, so as to add water to the discharge barrel 3. When water needs to be discharged, the user uses a water pump to pump out the water in the discharge barrel 3.

[0068] As an embodiment of the present invention, an exhaust port 16 is provided on the barrel cover 5, and an air guide pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port 16;

[0069] By adopting the above technical scheme, the heating plate 1 heats the water in the discharge barrel 3 after being started, and the heated water generates high temperature and water vapor to distill the lees on the steaming plate 2. A large amount of steam is generated during the distillation of the lees, and the steam gathers at the top of the discharge barrel 3. Therefore, an exhaust port 16 is opened above the barrel cover 5, and an air duct 17 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port 16, so that the rising steam flows into the air duct 17 through the exhaust port 16, and a cooling device is arranged at the end of the air duct 17 away from the exhaust port 16. During the distillation of the lees, the continuous steam generated flows into the air duct 17 from the exhaust port 16, is liquefied by the cooling device to form wine.

[0070] As an embodiment of the present invention, the discharge barrel 3 is provided with an observation port 18, and a glass plate 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the observation port 18;

[0071] By adopting the above technical scheme, since the discharge barrel 3 is a closed environment, the steps of adding materials, stirring, adding water and distilling are all carried out in the discharge barrel 3. In order to facilitate the user to observe the adding of materials and water in the discharge barrel 3, an observation port 18 is opened on the discharge barrel 3, and a glass plate 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the observation port 18. The transparency of the glass plate 19 makes it convenient for the user to observe the situation in the discharge barrel 3, thereby improving the practical usability of the brewing equipment.

[0072] As an embodiment of the present invention, the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15 are all provided with corks 20;

[0073] By adopting the above technical scheme, the sealing of the discharge barrel 3 must be ensured during the process of grain and lees distillation. First, the barrel cover 5 and the discharge barrel 3 are liquid-sealed at their clamping joints. Secondly, in order to ensure that the feed port 14 can feed normally, the discharge port 12 can discharge normally, and the water inlet 15 can take in water and drain water normally, it is also necessary to ensure the sealing of the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15. Therefore, corks 20 are provided at the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15. When feeding, discharging, water intake or drainage is required, the corks 20 are taken out from the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15. When feeding, discharging, water intake or drainage is not required, the corks 20 are taken out from the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15. When draining or draining, the cork 20 is inserted into the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15. At the same time, the discharge port 12 is arranged above the steaming plate 2 and is inclined downward, which is convenient for discharging and prevents the water below the steaming plate 2 from generating thrust on the cork 20 at the discharge port 12 during distillation, thereby affecting the sealing of the discharge port 12. At the same time, the diameter of the cork 20 is slightly larger than the diameter of the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15 by 1-3 mm. The flexibility, elasticity and non-toxicity of the cork 20 are utilized to generate a tightening force when the cork 20 is inserted into the feed port 14, the discharge port 12 and the water inlet 15, thereby improving the sealing and ensuring the safety of food.

[0074] Working principle: When people add grains into the steaming plate 2 in the discharge barrel 3 through the feed port 14, the motor 7 is started to rotate forward according to the control switch of the motor 7. The forward rotation of the rotating shaft of the motor 7 drives the ventilation pipe 61 fixedly connected thereto to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the ventilation pipe 61 drives the multiple crushing knives 62 fixed thereon to rotate forward. During the rapid forward rotation of the multiple crushing knives 62, the blades of the crushing knives 62 are in front contact with the grains at this time. The blades of the crushing knives 62 crush the grains in the discharge barrel 3. After the grains are crushed, the motor 7 is turned off and water is added to soak them. After the soaking is completed After that, the excess water is discharged, and a proper amount of water is added to the discharge barrel 3 again, and then the heating plate 1 is started. The heating plate 1 heats the discharge barrel 3, and the water in the discharge barrel 3 gradually heats up to steam the soaked grains on the steaming plate 2. After the grains are steamed, the heating plate 1 switch is turned off to discharge the hot water. At this time, the user controls the switch according to the motor 7 to start the motor 7 to reverse, and the motor 7 reverses to drive the vent pipe 61 fixedly connected to its rotating shaft to reverse, and the vent pipe 61 reverses to drive the multiple crushing knives 62 fixedly connected to its outer surface to rotate in the opposite direction, and the crushing knives 62 When the grain is evenly mixed with the koji, the motor 7 is turned off. After the grain evenly mixed with the koji is fermented in the discharge barrel 3 for a period of time, the motor 7 is started again to reverse, and the reverse rotation of the motor 7 drives the crushing knife 62 to rotate in the opposite direction again. The back of the crushing knife 62 stirs the fermented grain and loosens the fermented grain. Then, the motor 7 is turned off, water is added to the discharge barrel 3, and the heating plate 1 is started again. The heating plate 1 heats the water in the discharge barrel 3 to distill the fermented grain, i.e., lees. During the distillation process, if the lees are worried about gelatinization, the user controls the motor 7 according to the switch to control the motor 7 to rotate slowly, so as to drive the back of the crushing knife 62 to slowly stir the lees, thereby reducing the probability of gelatinization and improving the quality of the wine.

[0075] After the lees are loosened, the heating plate 1 is started. After the heating plate 1 is started, the water in the discharge barrel 3 is heated. The heated water generates high temperature and water vapor to distill the lees on the steaming plate 2. A large amount of steam is generated during the distillation of the lees. The steam gathers at the top of the discharge barrel 3. Therefore, an exhaust port 16 is opened above the barrel cover 5. An air guide pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port 16, so that the rising steam flows into the air guide pipe 17 through the exhaust port 16. A cooling device is set at one end of the air guide pipe 17 away from the exhaust port 16. During the distillation of the lees, the continuously generated steam flows into the air guide pipe 17 from the exhaust port 16 to be liquefied by the cooling device to form wine;

[0076] When the distiller's grains in the discharge barrel 3 are distilled, the user needs to clean up the distiller's grains in the discharge barrel 3 so that the next group of grains can be used for brewing. At this time, the user needs to turn off the heating plate 1 and start the motor 7. The rotation shaft of the motor 7 drives the vent pipe 61 fixedly connected to the rotation shaft to rotate. The rotation of the vent pipe 61 drives the mounting rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the mounting rod 10 drives the multiple scrapers 11 fixedly connected to the mounting plate to rotate. The rotation of the multiple scrapers 11 pushes the distiller's grains to gradually discharge from the discharge port 12.
