Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of brewing technology, and in particular to a dynamic control system and method for steam grading in baijiu brewing. Background Technology

[0002] Steam is commonly used in the processing of baijiu (Chinese white liquor), and its supply directly affects the quality of the liquor. Steam is generated by a steam source such as a boiler and then transported to the still for alcohol purification. The still is a traditional distillation device commonly used in baijiu distillation. Based on the principle that the alcohol concentration in the vapor phase is greater than that in the liquid phase during alcohol distillation vapor-liquid equilibrium, condensing the alcohol vapor into a liquid yields a high-concentration alcohol solution, i.e., baijiu. In current mass production processes, a single steam source typically supplies steam to a certain number of stills simultaneously.

[0003] However, in the existing baijiu brewing process, the number of stills that need to be used varies due to changes in production demand. This causes fluctuations in brewing, often resulting in intermittent production. Consequently, the control of steam also fluctuates significantly, affecting the processing quality of baijiu and causing more steam loss. Summary of the Invention

[0063] It should be noted that the brewing area of ​​baijiu can be divided into three levels: factory level, workshop level, and team level. Baijiu brewing can have at least one factory level area; each factory level area contains at least one workshop level area, and each factory level area in an actual factory can contain two or more workshop level areas; each workshop level area contains at least one team level area, and each workshop level area in an actual factory can contain two or more team level areas; the 510 still is specifically placed in the team level area.

The main control unit 130 can control the steam delivery parameters and on / off state of the connecting main pipe 120. The steam source body 110 is the main steam source of the entire baijiu brewing steam grading dynamic control system, and all brewing components 500 in this application can be supplied with steam through the steam source body 110.

[0066] It should be noted that steam distribution sources can also be set on certain branch lines as needed. For example, a primary steam distribution source can be set on the primary branch line 210, and / or a secondary steam distribution source can be set on the secondary branch line 310, and / or a tertiary steam distribution source can be set on the tertiary branch line 410. These steam distribution sources can all be controlled by corresponding control components to ensure that the steam reaching the brewing component 500 meets the brewing requirements, that is, the steam with preset parameters. When the total steam source can meet the steam supply requirements, the steam distribution source can be in standby or shutdown state.

[0067] It should be noted that the main control unit 130 includes at least one of a regulating valve and a shut-off valve. The number of main control units 130 can be set as needed. One main control unit 130 can be installed on the connecting main pipe 120, or more main control units 130 can be installed on the connecting main pipe 120 as needed.

The main regulating valve 131 can adjust the steam delivery parameters on the connecting main pipe 120, such as adjusting the steam delivery volume and delivery pressure. The main shut-off valve 132 can control the on / off of the connecting main pipe 120. If necessary, the main regulating valve 131 can also be used to control the on / off of the connecting main pipe 120.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this application, the primary control component 200 includes a primary steam distribution cylinder 220, a primary control unit 230, a primary detection unit 240, and a primary controller 250: the primary steam distribution cylinder 220 is connected to the second end of the connecting main pipe 120, and at least one primary branch pipe 210 is connected to the primary steam distribution cylinder 220; the primary control unit 230 is disposed on the primary branch pipe 210, and the primary control unit 230 is capable of controlling the steam delivery parameters or switching on / off on the primary branch pipe 210; the primary detection unit 240 is disposed on the primary branch pipe 210, and the primary detection unit 240 is capable of detecting the steam delivery parameters on the primary branch pipe 210; the primary controller 250 is simultaneously electrically connected to the main control unit 130, the primary control unit 230, and the primary detection unit 240.

Specifically, a corresponding number of primary distribution pipelines 210 can be opened according to actual production needs. During the steam delivery process of each primary distribution pipeline 210, the steam delivery parameters can be controlled through the corresponding primary control unit 230. The primary detection unit 240 can detect the parameters of the delivered steam to cooperate with the primary control unit 230 in more precise control of the steam delivery parameters of the primary distribution pipeline 210. The primary controller 250 can interact and control the data of the main control unit 130, the primary control unit 230, and the primary detection unit 240. The primary controller 250 can simultaneously assist in controlling the steam delivery parameters of the main pipe 120 and the primary branch pipe 210. In conjunction with the secondary controller 340 and the tertiary controller 430 described below, it can strictly control the steam delivery parameters of each branch pipe. This control can be dynamic, so that the steam delivery parameters reaching the brewing component 500 can always meet the preset parameters, so that the steam delivery parameters can strictly meet the requirements of the brewing process, and the steam delivery has higher delivery stability, improving the quality of the liquor and ensuring the stability of the liquor quality.

[0070] It should be noted that the primary control unit 230 includes at least one of a regulating valve and a shut-off valve. The number of primary control units 230 can be set as needed. One primary control unit 230 can be installed on the primary branch line 210, or more primary control units 230 can be installed on the primary branch line 210 as needed. Taking two primary control units 230 as an example, one primary regulating valve and one primary shut-off valve can be installed on the primary branch line 210 (only the primary regulating valve is shown in the attached figure). The primary regulating valve can adjust the steam delivery parameters on the primary branch line 210, such as adjusting the steam delivery volume and delivery pressure. The primary shut-off valve can control the on / off of the primary branch line 210. If necessary, the primary regulating valve can also be used to control the on / off of the primary branch line 210.

[0071] It should be noted that the primary detection unit 240 includes at least one of a flow meter, a thermometer, and a pressure gauge. The type of the primary detection unit 240 can be set as needed. That is, the corresponding type of primary detection unit 240 can be selected according to the actual steam transmission parameter requirements. For example, when it is necessary to detect the steam flow rate parameter, the primary detection unit 240 can be set as a primary flow meter; when it is necessary to detect the steam temperature parameter, the primary detection unit 240 can be set as a primary thermometer; when it is necessary to detect the steam pressure parameter, the primary detection unit 240 can be set as a primary pressure gauge. It is possible to install only one of the primary flow meter, primary thermometer, or primary pressure gauge on the primary branch line 210, or at least two of the primary flow meter, primary thermometer, or primary pressure gauge can be installed on the primary branch line 210 simultaneously.

Specifically, a corresponding number of secondary branch pipelines 310 can be opened according to actual production needs. During the steam delivery process of each secondary branch pipeline 310, the steam delivery parameters can be controlled through the corresponding secondary control unit 320. The secondary detection unit 330 can detect the parameters of the delivered steam to cooperate with the secondary control unit 320 in more precise control of the steam delivery parameters of the secondary branch pipeline 310. The secondary controller 340 can interact and control the data between the secondary control unit 320 and the secondary detection unit 330. The secondary controller 340 can assist in controlling the steam delivery parameters of the secondary branch pipeline 310. Together with the primary controller 250 and the tertiary controller 430 of this application, it can strictly control the steam delivery parameters of each branch pipeline. This control can be dynamic, so that the steam delivery parameters reaching the brewing component 500 can always meet the preset parameters, so that the steam delivery parameters can strictly meet the requirements of the brewing process, and the steam delivery has higher delivery stability, improving the quality of the liquor and ensuring the stability of the liquor quality.

[0075] It should be noted that a secondary steam distributor can also be set as needed.

Taking two secondary control units 320 as an example, one secondary regulating valve and one secondary shut-off valve can be installed on the secondary branch line 310 (only the secondary regulating valve is shown in the attached figure). The secondary regulating valve can adjust the steam delivery parameters on the secondary branch line 310, such as adjusting the steam delivery volume and delivery pressure. The secondary shut-off valve can control the on / off of the secondary branch line 310. If necessary, the on / off of the secondary branch line 310 can also be controlled through the secondary regulating valve.

[0077] It should be noted that the secondary detection unit 330 includes at least one of a flow meter, a thermometer, and a pressure gauge. The type of the secondary detection unit 330 can be set as needed. That is, the corresponding type of secondary detection unit 330 can be selected according to the actual steam transmission parameters required. For example, if the steam flow rate parameter needs to be detected, the secondary detection unit 330 can be set as a secondary flow meter; if the steam temperature parameter needs to be detected, the secondary detection unit 330 can be set as a secondary thermometer; if the steam pressure parameter needs to be detected, the secondary detection unit 330 can be set as a secondary pressure gauge. It is possible to install only one of the secondary flow meter, secondary thermometer, or secondary pressure gauge on the secondary branch line 310, or at least two of the secondary flow meter, secondary thermometer, or secondary pressure gauge can be installed on the secondary branch line 310 simultaneously.

[0078] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the tertiary branch line 410 is connected to the corresponding secondary branch line 310, and each secondary branch line 310 is simultaneously connected to at least one tertiary branch line 410. The tertiary control component 400 also includes a tertiary control unit 420, a tertiary controller 430, and a tertiary cylinder 440.

The first connection port is connected to the third-level branch pipeline 410, and the second connection port is connected to the brewing component 500.

[0080] Based on the above embodiments of this application, the tertiary branch pipeline 410 is connected to the secondary branch pipeline 310. The steam delivery parameters on the tertiary branch pipeline 410 can be adjusted through the cooperation of the tertiary control unit 420. Specifically, a corresponding number of tertiary branch pipelines 410 can be opened according to actual production needs. During the steam delivery process of each tertiary branch pipeline 410, the steam delivery parameters can be controlled through the corresponding tertiary control unit 420.

The tertiary controller 430 can interact and control the data between the tertiary control unit 420 and the tertiary detection unit. The three-level controller 430 can assist in controlling the steam delivery parameters of the three-level branch pipeline 410. Together with the first-level controller 250 and the three-level controller 430 of this application, it can strictly control the steam delivery parameters of each branch pipeline. This control can be dynamic, so that the steam delivery parameters reaching the brewing component 500 can always meet the preset parameters, so that the steam delivery parameters can strictly meet the requirements of the brewing process, and the steam delivery has higher delivery stability, improving the quality of the liquor and ensuring the stability of the liquor quality.

[0081] It should be noted that a three-stage steam distribution cylinder 440 can also be set as needed. The three-stage steam distribution cylinder 440 can adjust and differentiate the steam delivered from the three-stage distribution pipeline 410, and can make more thorough preparations for the delivery of steam to the brewing distribution pipeline 460, thereby improving the stability and reliability of steam delivery.

[0082] It should be noted that the three-stage control unit 420 includes at least one of a regulating valve and a shut-off valve. The number of three-stage control units 420 can be set as needed. One three-stage control unit 420 can be installed on the three-stage branch line 410, or more three-stage control units 420 can be installed on the three-stage branch line 410 as needed. Taking two three-stage control units 420 as an example, one three-stage regulating valve and one three-stage shut-off valve can be installed on the three-stage branch line 410 (only the three-stage regulating valve is shown in the attached figure). The three-stage regulating valve can adjust the steam delivery parameters on the three-stage branch line 410, such as adjusting the steam delivery volume and delivery pressure. The three-stage shut-off valve can control the on / off of the three-stage branch line 410. If necessary, the three-stage regulating valve can also be used to control the on / off of the three-stage branch line 410.

[0083] It should be noted that a three-stage detection unit can also be installed on the three-stage branch line 410 as needed. The three-stage detection unit includes at least one of a flow meter, a thermometer, and a pressure gauge. The type of the three-stage detection unit can be set according to needs. That is, the corresponding type of three-stage detection unit can be selected according to the actual steam transmission parameters required. For example, if the steam flow rate parameter needs to be detected, the three-stage detection unit can be set as a three-stage flow meter; if the steam temperature parameter needs to be detected, the three-stage detection unit can be set as a three-stage thermometer; if the steam pressure parameter needs to be detected, the three-stage detection unit can be set as a three-stage pressure gauge.

[0084] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, a first pressure transmitter 450 is provided on the three-stage steam cylinder 440, and the second connection port is connected to the brewing assembly 500 through the brewing branch pipeline 460.

[0085] A brewing control unit and a second pressure transmitter 470 are installed on the brewing branch pipeline 460. The brewing control unit, the first pressure transmitter 450, and the second pressure transmitter 470 are all electrically connected to the three-level controller 430.

[0086] Based on the above embodiments of this application, the first pressure transmitter 450 can control and regulate the steam pressure in the three-stage steam distribution cylinder 440, pre-adjusting the steam delivered to the brewing component 500 so that the steam delivery parameters reaching the brewing component 500 are more easily maintained at preset parameters. The brewing branch pipeline 460 is connected to the three-stage steam distribution cylinder 440, and the steam delivery parameters on the brewing branch pipeline 460 can be adjusted through the cooperation of the brewing control unit. Specifically, a corresponding number of brewing branch pipelines 460 can be opened according to the number of brewing components 500. During the steam delivery process of each brewing branch pipeline 460, the steam delivery parameters can be controlled through the corresponding brewing control unit so that the steam delivery parameters reaching the brewing component 500 are equal to or close to the preset parameters. The second pressure transmitter 470 can further fine-tune the parameters of the steam that is about to be delivered to the brewing component 500, so that the steam delivery parameters reaching the brewing component 500 are closer to the preset parameters. This ensures that the steam delivery parameters delivered to the brewing component 500 strictly meet the requirements of the brewing process, and the steam delivery has higher delivery stability, improving the quality of the liquor and ensuring the stability of the liquor quality.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, the brewing assembly 500 includes a still 510 and a cooler 520. The still 510 is connected to a three-stage steam distributor 440, which can supply steam of preset parameters into the still 510. The steam passing through the still 510 will form alcohol vapor. The cooler 520 is connected to the top of the still 510 and can condense and collect the alcohol vapor formed by the still 510.

[0088] Based on the above embodiments of this application, the still 510 is a device for brewing baijiu (Chinese white liquor) using steam and yeast. Specifically, fermented grains are placed in the still 510 for steaming to obtain distilled liquor. The still 510 is heated or supplied with steam to evaporate water vapor containing a large amount of alcohol. The water vapor is then condensed into liquid by a cooler 520, ultimately yielding alcohol. The cooler 520 can be a flowing water system, a condenser, etc. The coordinated configuration of the primary control component 200, secondary control component 300, and tertiary control component 400 allows for graded control of the steam generated by the steam source 100. This ensures that the steam reaching the corresponding brewing component 500 meets the brewing requirements, i.e., the preset parameters, and is delivered to the brewing component 500. The steam delivery parameters are more stable and reliable with the coordination of the multi-level control components, improving the yield and quality of baijiu and ensuring the stability of baijiu quality. Coordinated steam control also reduces waste and saves steam.

[0089] Reference Figure 3 Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a dynamic control method for steam grading in baijiu brewing, the control steps of which include:

[0090] Step S100: Start steam source 100 to produce steam;

[0091] The above steps can be performed using steam source 100 to prepare for steam delivery. The required amount of steam can be calculated as needed, so that steam source 100 produces more than or equal to the required amount of steam (this is to offset the loss of steam during delivery; the corresponding loss amount can be determined after a limited number of experiments, and steam source 100 replenishes the steam appropriately based on the loss amount, so that the uniform delivery parameters of the brewing components 500 are as close as possible to the preset parameters). Specifically, the number of brewing components 500 needed can be calculated based on the required amount of liquor to be brewed. Unused brewing components 500 have their corresponding branch lines shut off through the corresponding control unit to stop the steam delivery of the temporarily suspended brewing components 500. Alternatively, all brewing components 500 can be labeled to improve manual identification of the brewing components 500 and facilitate more precise control of the steam delivery parameters to the corresponding labeled brewing components 500, thereby ensuring the quality of the liquor.

[0092] It should be noted that, taking the brewing unit 500 as an example with eight components and four components required, the calculation and control steps for the steam volume include, but are not limited to, the following methods:

[0093] Turn off the four unused brewing components 500, specifically by turning off the control unit on the corresponding branch pipeline to cut off the steam supply to the branch pipeline;

[0094] Determine the steam delivery parameters for the four brewing components 500 that need to be used. The amount of steam required by the brewing components 500 can be determined based on the amount of yeast, and the total steam delivery parameters can be calculated.

[0095] Based on the overall steam transport parameters, sufficient steam is produced through steam source 100;

[0096] Steam is delivered to the primary control unit 200 via the main pipe 120;

[0097] Through the overall coordination of the primary control component 200, the secondary control component 300, and the tertiary control component 400, steam is supplied to the four brewing components 500 that need to be used, and the supplied steam is controlled within the preset parameters required by the corresponding brewing components 500.

[0098] It should be noted that the preset parameters in this application are the requirements parameters of the brewing component 500, which are the steam requirements parameters of the corresponding brewing component 500 in the brewing process. Different brewing components 500 may require different steam delivery parameters. Each brewing component 500 has corresponding preset parameters for the corresponding amount of yeast. These preset parameters may vary each time the process is carried out, and the corresponding parameters need to be selected according to the actual brewing requirements.

[0099] Step S200: Steam is delivered to the corresponding primary branch pipeline 210 through the primary control component 200, and the steam delivery parameters in the primary branch pipeline 210 are controlled by the primary control component 200 to reach the first preset sub-parameter.

[0100] The above steps can control and transport the steam produced by the steam source 100 through the primary control component 200, specifically to the primary branch pipeline 210, and prepare for the transport from the primary branch pipeline 210 to the secondary branch pipeline 310 in the secondary control component 300. During the steam transport process, the steam transport parameters in the primary branch pipeline 210 can be adjusted to the first preset sub-parameter. The first preset sub-parameter is the first intermediate parameter formed with the aim of transporting steam to the brewing component 500 with preset parameters. Specifically, the corresponding first preset sub-parameter needs to be obtained through the overall coordination of the primary control component 200, the secondary control component 300, and the tertiary control component 400. The specific value of the first preset sub-parameter is determined according to the number of brewing components 500 used and the total steam transport parameters required by all brewing components 500. The first preset sub-parameter may dynamically change with the number of brewing components 500 used and the steam demand, as long as the steam finally transported to the brewing component 500 meets the process requirements.

[0101] Step S300: Steam is delivered to the corresponding secondary branch pipeline 310 through the secondary control component 300, and the steam delivery parameters in the secondary branch pipeline 310 are controlled by the cooperation of the primary control component 200 and the secondary control component 300 to reach the second preset sub-parameter.

[0102] The above steps can control and transport the steam in the primary branch pipe 210 through the secondary control component 300, specifically to the secondary branch pipe 310, and prepare for the transport from the secondary branch pipe 310 to the tertiary branch pipe 410 in the tertiary control component 400. During the steam transport process, the steam transport parameters in the secondary branch pipe 310 can be adjusted to a second preset sub-parameter. The second preset sub-parameter is a second intermediate parameter formed with the aim of transporting steam to the brewing component 500 according to preset parameters. Specifically, the corresponding second preset sub-parameter needs to be obtained through the overall coordination of the primary control component 200, the secondary control component 300, and the tertiary control component 400. The specific value of the second preset sub-parameter is determined according to the number of brewing components 500 used and the total steam transport parameters required by all brewing components 500. The second preset sub-parameter may dynamically change with the number of brewing components 500 used and the steam demand, as long as the steam finally transported to the brewing component 500 meets the process requirements.

[0103] Step S400: Steam is delivered to the corresponding third-level branch pipeline 410 through the third-level control component 400. The steam delivery parameters in the third-level branch pipeline 410 are controlled by the first-level control component 200, the second-level control component 300 and the third-level control component 400 to reach the preset parameters.

[0104] The above steps utilize a three-level control component 400 to control and transport steam from the secondary branch pipeline 310 to the tertiary branch pipeline 410, preparing it for transport towards the brewing branch pipeline 460. During steam transport, the steam transport parameters in the tertiary branch pipeline 410 can be adjusted to preset parameters (within acceptable error limits). These preset parameters are the target parameters for transporting steam to the brewing component 500. The first pressure transmitter 450 and the second pressure transmitter 470 can then work together to bring the steam transport parameters entering the brewing component 500 closer to the preset parameters. Specifically, the final preset parameters are determined through the coordinated operation of the primary control component 200, the secondary control component 300, and the tertiary control component 400, taking into account factors such as the size of the brewing component 500 and the amount of yeast. Since the preset parameters are determined during the liquor production process, the three control components mentioned above are needed to ensure that the steam ultimately transported to the brewing component 500 meets the process requirements. The three control components specifically include a primary control component 200, a secondary control component 300, and a tertiary control component 400.

[0105] Step S500: Steam that has reached the preset parameters is delivered into the brewing component 500.

[0106] The above steps can deliver steam that meets the preset parameters to the brewing component 500 for the production of baijiu. The steam delivery parameters are more stable and reliable with the cooperation of multi-level control components, so that the steam delivery parameters can strictly meet the requirements of the brewing process, thereby improving the yield and quality of baijiu. Moreover, the steam delivery has higher delivery stability, which can ensure the stability of baijiu quality.

[0107] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the step of starting the steam source 100 to produce steam includes:

[0108] Step S110: Start the steam source body 110, and the steam source body 110 supplies steam to the first-level control component 200 through the connecting main pipe 120;

[0109] The above steps allow for better steam delivery. Through the main pipe 120, steam can be stably delivered to the primary control component 200. The main pipe 120 is the source pipe of the dynamic control system for steam grading in baijiu brewing. Insufficient steam supply from the main pipe 120 will affect all branch pipes. In actual production, the maximum steam output of the steam source unit 110 corresponding to the main pipe 120 can be predicted, and then corresponding steam delivery rules can be formulated to ensure that all brewing components 500 in use receive the steam required for the composite process, thereby improving the quality of baijiu brewing.

[0110] Step S120: Control the steam delivery parameters and on / off state of the main pipe 120 through the main control unit 130;

[0111] The above steps can control and adjust the steam delivery parameters within the main pipe 120. The main control unit 130 is the central control unit of the entire dynamic control system for steam grading in the liquor brewing process. In case of safety hazards, the steam supply to all branch pipes can be cut off through the main control unit 130, and the steam supply can be restored after the safety hazards are eliminated.

[0112] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the step of using the primary control component 200 to deliver steam to the corresponding primary branch pipeline 210 and controlling the steam delivery parameters within the primary branch pipeline 210 to reach a first preset sub-parameter includes:

[0113] Step S210: The steam delivered from the main pipe 120 is received and stored through the primary steam distributor 220. The above steps utilize the primary steam distributor 220 to achieve graded control of the steam, making the steam delivered to the primary distribution pipe 210 more stable and reliable. The primary steam distributor 220 reduces steam loss during transport, minimizes unnecessary steam waste, and makes it easier to meet process requirements for steam delivery parameters.

[0114] Step S220: The steam after pressure division in the first-stage steam distribution cylinder 220 is delivered through the first-stage branch pipeline 210; the above steps can ensure that the steam in the first-stage branch pipeline 210 is adjusted and divided by the first-stage steam distribution cylinder, thereby improving the stability of the steam delivered by the first-stage branch pipeline 210 and reducing steam waste.

[0115] Step S230: Control the steam delivery parameters or on / off state of the primary branch pipeline 210 through the primary control unit 230; the above steps can control the steam delivery parameters in the primary branch pipeline 210 through the primary control unit 230, and when necessary, the steam in the primary branch pipeline 210 can be controlled to be on / off. For example, when the corresponding primary branch pipeline 210 does not need to deliver steam, the steam delivery in the primary branch pipeline 210 can be cut off through the primary control unit 230.

[0116] Step S240: The steam delivery parameters on the primary branch pipeline 210 are detected by the primary detection unit 240. In the above steps, the parameters of the steam being delivered can be detected by the primary detection unit 240, so as to cooperate with the primary control unit 230 to more accurately control the steam delivery parameters of the primary branch pipeline 210.

[0117] Step S250: After receiving the detection signal from the primary detection unit 240, the primary controller 250 controls the primary control unit 230 to make the steam delivery parameters in the primary branch pipeline 210 reach the first preset sub-parameter. The above steps can more accurately adjust the steam delivery parameters in the primary branch pipeline 210 to the first preset sub-parameter, preparing for the steam delivered to the brewing component 500, so as to ensure that the steam delivery parameters delivered to the brewing component 500 can reach or be closer to the preset parameters.

[0118] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the step of delivering steam to the corresponding secondary branch pipeline 310 via the secondary control component 300, and the primary control component 200 and the secondary control component 300 cooperating to control the steam delivery parameters in the secondary branch pipeline 310 to reach the second preset sub-parameter includes:

[0119] Step S310: Steam delivered from primary branch pipeline 210 is conveyed through secondary branch pipeline 310; the above steps can receive steam delivered from primary branch pipeline 210 through secondary branch pipeline 310. Each primary branch pipeline 210 has a certain number of secondary branch pipelines 310. Based on the number of secondary branch pipelines 310 in use, each secondary branch pipeline 310 that needs to be used can receive the corresponding steam.

[0120] Step S320: Control the steam delivery parameters or on / off state of the secondary branch pipeline 310 through the secondary control unit 320. The above steps can be performed by controlling the steam delivery parameters of the secondary branch pipeline 310 through the secondary control unit 320. When necessary, the steam in the secondary branch pipeline 310 can be controlled to be switched on or off. For example, when steam delivery is not required in the corresponding secondary branch pipeline 310, the steam delivery in the secondary branch pipeline 310 can be cut off through the secondary control unit 320. Each secondary branch pipeline 310 can be independently controlled through the secondary control unit 320. That is, the steam parameters in multiple secondary branch pipelines 310 can be the same or different. Specifically, the steam parameters in the corresponding secondary branch pipeline 310 are dynamically adjusted to ensure that the steam of the corresponding brewing component 500 meets the process requirements.

[0121] Step S330: The steam delivery parameters on the secondary branch pipeline 310 are detected by the secondary detection unit 330. In the above steps, the parameters of the steam being delivered can be detected by the secondary detection unit 330, so as to cooperate with the secondary control unit 320 to more accurately control the steam delivery parameters of the secondary branch pipeline 310.

[0122] Step S340: After receiving the detection signal from the secondary detection unit 330, the secondary controller 340, in conjunction with the primary controller 250, controls the secondary control unit 320 to make the steam delivery parameters in the secondary branch pipeline 310 reach the second preset sub-parameter. The above steps can more accurately adjust the steam delivery parameters in the secondary branch pipeline 310 to the second preset sub-parameter, preparing for the steam delivered to the brewing component 500, so as to ensure that the steam delivery parameters delivered to the brewing component 500 can reach or be closer to the preset parameters.

[0123] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments of this application, the steam is delivered to the corresponding tertiary branch pipeline 410 via a tertiary control component 400, and the steam delivery parameters within the tertiary branch pipeline 410 are controlled in coordination by a primary control component 200, a secondary control component 300, and a tertiary control component 400 to achieve preset parameters. The steps include:

[0124] Step S410: Steam delivered from the secondary branch pipeline 310 is conveyed through the tertiary branch pipeline 410; the above steps can receive steam delivered from the secondary branch pipeline 310 through the tertiary branch pipeline 410. Each secondary branch pipeline 310 has a certain number of tertiary branch pipelines 410. Based on the number of tertiary branch pipelines 410 in use, each tertiary branch pipeline 410 that needs to be used can receive the corresponding steam.

[0125] Step S420: Control the steam delivery parameters or on / off state of the tertiary branch pipeline 410 through the tertiary control unit 420. The above steps can be performed by controlling the steam delivery parameters of the tertiary branch pipeline 410 through the tertiary control unit 420. When necessary, the steam in the tertiary branch pipeline 410 can be controlled to be switched on or off. For example, when steam delivery is not required in the corresponding tertiary branch pipeline 410, the steam delivery in the tertiary branch pipeline 410 can be cut off through the tertiary control unit 420. Each tertiary branch pipeline 410 can be independently controlled through the tertiary control unit 420. That is, the steam parameters in multiple tertiary branch pipelines 410 can be the same or different. Specifically, the steam parameters in the corresponding tertiary branch pipeline 410 are dynamically adjusted to ensure that the steam of the corresponding brewing component 500 meets the process requirements.

[0126] Step S430: The tertiary controller 430, in conjunction with the primary controller 250 and the secondary controller 340, controls the tertiary control unit 420 to ensure that the steam delivery parameters within the tertiary branch pipeline 410 reach the preset parameters. The primary controller 250, secondary controller 340, and tertiary controller 430 working together in the above steps can strictly control the steam delivery parameters of each branch pipeline. This control can be dynamic, ensuring that the steam delivery parameters reaching the brewing component 500 always meet the preset parameters. This ensures that the steam delivery parameters strictly meet the requirements of the brewing process, and that the steam delivery has higher delivery stability, improving the quality of the liquor and guaranteeing its stability.
