Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, and more particularly to continuous grain cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing is the process of producing alcoholic beverages with a certain concentration through microbial fermentation. In the preparation of light-aroma baijiu (Chinese white liquor), after soaking the grains and draining off the remaining water, the drained grains are placed in a steamer. When processing large quantities of grain in multiple batches, to ensure the continuity of the process, workers often need to begin soaking and draining the next batch of grains while the previous batch is being steamed. This traditional grain processing method is inefficient and requires tedious manual labor. To shorten the brewing cycle, multiple workers often need to participate in the corresponding processes simultaneously, cooperating to ensure the smooth flow of the brewing process, thus increasing labor costs.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5This invention provides a technical solution: a continuous grain cooking device, including a base 1 and a hopper 22 for holding the grain. The base 1 is equipped with a support platform 2 for supporting the hopper 22 and two sets of processing mechanisms 27. A water guide trough 101 for draining water from the hopper 22 is formed in the base 1. A cover plate 23 is installed on the top of the hopper 22, and a ring frame 24 is fixed to the upper end of the cover plate 23. The support platform 2 is used to switch the hopper 22 on the support frame 8. The support platform 2 can be hydraulically lifted. When the grain in the hopper 22 is processed and rotates to one side of the support platform 2 along with the equipment frame 4, the support platform 2 will support the hopper 22 suspended on the support frame 8. As the equipment frame 4 moves down, the support frame 8 will release the hopper 22 from its fixation. At this time, the operator... The hopper 22 on the frame 2 can be replaced; when the equipment frame 4 rises, the frame 2 will lift the hopper 22 a certain distance until the hopper 22 is fixed on the support 8; the two sets of processing mechanisms 27 adopt the existing processing methods for soaking and cooking the grain respectively. As the equipment frame 4 rotates, the grain in the hopper 22 is soaked, drained and cooked in sequence, so that the equipment can process different groups of grains in a step-by-step manner; through the rotating disc structure, after the processing and cooking of one group of grains is completed, the next group of grains can continue to be processed, so as to realize the continuous cooking of multiple groups of grains, thereby shortening the brewing cycle and reducing the brewing cost; the water guide trough 101 is used to discharge the water dripping from the hopper 22 to the outside of the equipment.

[0029] The upper end of the base 1 is rotatably connected to an abutment sleeve 16 that presses the rotating sleeve 5 to move vertically. The outer side of the abutment sleeve 16 is rotatably fitted with a ring sleeve 17 that drives the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate. The base 1 is provided with driving components that control the rotation of the abutment sleeve 16 and the ring sleeve 17 respectively. When the abutment sleeve 16 rotates, it will press the rotating sleeve 5 to move upward, causing the hopper 22 fixed on the bracket 8 to move upward away from the processing mechanism 27. When the ring sleeve 17 rotates, it will drive the equipment frame 4 fixed to the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the switching of the hopper 22's working position. The rotation cycle of the rotating sleeve 5 should be matched and adjusted according to the longest time required in the grain processing steps. When making rice wine, the time required for steaming and soaking rice is basically the same.

[0030] A column 3 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base 1. A rotating sleeve 5 is fitted on the outer side of the column 3. An equipment frame 4 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the rotating sleeve 5. Multiple supports 8 arranged in a ring are fixedly mounted on the side end of the equipment frame 4. An elastic clamp 25 that cooperates with the ring frame 24 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support 8. An abutment 9 that presses outward against the elastic clamp 25 slides through the inside of the support 8. When the equipment frame 4 is raised or lowered, the abutment 9 moves vertically relative to the support 8 through a transmission component. When the abutment 9 moves downward, the abutment 9 fixed to the bottom of the support 8 will expand outward synchronously until it clamps the ring frame 24. At this time, the hopper 22 fixed to the cover plate 23 will rise or rotate with the equipment frame 4.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, a guide rod 501 is fixedly provided on the side end of the rotating sleeve 5, and a wave-shaped structure is formed at the upper port of the abutting sleeve 16 to act on the guide rod 501. A vertical groove 1701 is formed inside the ring sleeve 17 to cooperate with the sliding of the guide rod 501. When the abutting sleeve 16 rotates, it will press the guide rod 501 through its wave-shaped port, driving the rotating sleeve 5 to move the equipment frame 4 upward. When the guide rod 501 moves to the crest position of the abutting sleeve 16, the equipment frame 4 rises to the highest position. At this time, the rotation of the ring sleeve 17 drives the rotating sleeve 5 to rotate the equipment frame 4, thereby adjusting the position of the hopper 22. Since the upper end of the abutment sleeve 16 has a wave-shaped undulating structure, when the ring sleeve 17 acts as the guide rod 501 and slides past the crest of the abutment sleeve 16, the rotating sleeve 5 and the equipment frame 4 will rotate during the descent. By increasing the upper platform of the processing mechanism 27, the hopper 22 will first contact the platform of the processing mechanism 27 as it descends. As the ring sleeve 17 drives the equipment frame 4 to continue rotating, the hopper 22 will first slide along the platform of the processing mechanism 27 until the hopper 22 is completely aligned with the top opening of the processing mechanism 27. At this time, the hopper 22 will be locked into the processing mechanism 27 under the action of gravity.

[0032] Worm gears 18 are fixed to the outer ends of both the abutment sleeve 16 and the ring sleeve 17. The transmission component includes a frame plate 19 fixed to the upper end of the base 1. Two worms 20 meshing with the worm gears 18 are rotatably connected inside the frame plate 19. A motor 21 for controlling the rotation of the worms 20 is installed on the side end of the frame plate 19. By starting the motor 21, the worms 20 are driven to rotate, so that the worm gears 18 meshing with the worms 20 drive the corresponding abutment sleeve 16 or ring sleeve 17 to rotate.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a locking ring 2501 is formed on the outer wall of the elastic clamping plate 25, and an annular groove is formed on the inner wall of the annular frame 24 to engage with the locking ring 2501. When the elastic clamping plate 25 expands outward under the action of the abutment joint 9, the locking ring 2501 fixed at its outer end will engage in the annular groove, thereby preventing the annular frame 24 fixed on the cover plate 23 from falling off the elastic clamping plate 25 during the suspension process of the hopper 22.

[0034] The inner end of the elastic clamp 25 is fixed with a mating block 26 that cooperates with the abutment 9. The end faces of the abutment 9 and the mating block 26 are in a mutually compatible inclined slope structure. When the abutment 9 moves downward relative to the bracket 8, it will drive the elastic clamp 25 to expand outward through the action of the mating block 26. The elastic clamp 25 is made of elastic iron sheet. When the abutment 9 moves upward and releases the pressure on the mating block 26, the elastic clamp 25 will converge towards the middle, and the locking ring 2501 fixed on the elastic clamp 25 will disengage from the annular groove, thereby releasing the fixation of the annular frame 24 and facilitating the replacement of the hopper 22 suspended at the bottom of the bracket 8 by the staff.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the transmission component includes a horizontal plate 11 slidably disposed on the equipment frame 4, a pushing component that presses the horizontal plate 11 to move laterally, and an elastic component that drives the horizontal plate 11 to return to its lateral position.

[0036] A square frame 12 is fixed to the upper end of the horizontal plate 11, and a protrusion 13 is fixed to the inner end of the square frame 12. A side connecting frame 10 is fixed to the side end of the abutment 9, and a strip groove 1001 is formed inside the side connecting frame 10 to slide with the protrusion 13. The pushing component includes a frame plate 28 fixed to the upper end of the column 3. A recessed groove 2801 is formed inside the frame plate 28 to fit the vertical rod 14. A slider 29 is slidably connected inside the recessed groove 2801. When the support 8 moves with the setting... When the rack 4 rotates to one side of the platform 2, the vertical rod 14 fixed on the horizontal plate 11 will slide into the recessed groove 2801 inside the rack plate 28. The horizontal plate 11 will slide towards the axis of the equipment rack 4 under the action of the elastic element. At this time, the protrusion 13 fixed on the square frame 12 will slide along the strip groove 1001. Through the pressure transmission of the protrusion 13 on the strip groove 1001, the abutment 9 fixed to the side connecting frame 10 will move upward. At this time, the elastic clamp 25 will... Release the fixing of the ring frame 24; the upper end of the equipment frame 4 is rotatably connected to a collar 30 coaxially distributed with the column 3, and the collar 30 and the slider 29 are rotatably connected to an arm 31; when the equipment frame 4 rises with the rotating sleeve 5, the collar 30 rotatably connected to the equipment frame 4 will push the slider 29 to move laterally along the notch 2801 through the arm 31. At this time, the vertical rod 14 will slide out of the notch 2801, the abutment 9 will move downward, and the cover plate 23 will be fixedly suspended at the bottom of the bracket 8; the platform 2 can be lifted by hydraulic lifting or by spring sheet action, so that it can be lifted relative to the base 1. When the equipment frame 4 is lifted, the platform 2 can drag the hopper 22 upward to move a distance. During this process, the relative position of the hopper 22 and its corresponding bracket 8 will not change, and during the upward movement of the bracket 8, the elastic clamp 25 fixed at the bottom of the bracket 8 completes the fastening and fixing with the ring frame 24.

[0037] A baffle 15 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the horizontal plate 11. A sliding groove 401 is formed inside the equipment frame 4 to cooperate with the sliding of the baffle 15. A horizontal bar 6 that passes through the baffle 15 is fixedly provided inside the sliding groove 401. A compression spring 7 that acts on the baffle 15 is sleeved on the outside of the horizontal bar 6. When the vertical bar 14 fixed on the horizontal plate 11 slides along the frame plate 28 and aligns with the notch 2801, the baffle 15 will drive the horizontal plate 11 to move towards the axis of the equipment frame 4 under the action of the compression spring 7. At this time, the abutment 9 moves upward and the elastic clamp 25 releases the fixation on the ring frame 24.

[0038] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
