Description

A large-brick pressing device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fermentation and brewing equipment technology, and in particular to a koji (fermentation starter culture) pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Daqu, also known as block koji or brick koji, is a raw material used in brewing. It is made from barley, wheat, peas, and other grains, which are crushed, mixed with water, kneaded, and pressed into brick-like blocks of varying sizes. Various microorganisms then grow on these blocks. Each step in the koji-making process has specific control points. If these points are not properly controlled, the resulting substandard koji cannot be used for brewing; only high-quality koji can produce high-quality liquor. One step in the process is pressing the mixed koji into blocks, which involves placing the mixture into a mold to form large koji blocks. Traditionally, this involved manually pressing the koji into the mold.

[0003] Traditional techniques involving manual foot-operated pressing are uncomfortable due to hygiene issues, and the large amount of manual labor involved leads to low work efficiency and inconsistent quality of Daqu (a type of Chinese liquor) briquettes. To address these issues, a Daqu briquette pressing device needs to be designed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0044] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-5. A large-batch pressing device includes:

[0046] The large koji block model is used to load the koji material of large koji, so that the koji material of large koji is subjected to pressure in the large koji block model to form large koji blocks;

[0047] The model positioning platform is used to position the large curved block model to facilitate subsequent processing operations;

[0048] The longitudinal assembly plate 1 is vertically set on the model positioning platform;

[0049] A vertical material barrel 2 is set above the large curved block model. The lower end of the vertical material barrel is the discharge port 3 and the upper end is the narrow opening 4. A sliding push rod 5 is inserted into the narrow opening 4. The sliding push rod 5 slides in the narrow opening 4. The lower end of the sliding push rod 5 is connected to the pressure block push plate 6. The pressure block push plate 6 slides in the vertical material barrel 2.

[0050] The feeding channel is located on one side of the upper end of the vertical material barrel 2 to inject the Daqu material into the vertical material barrel 2. After the Daqu material is injected into the vertical material barrel 2 through the feeding channel, the sliding push rod 5 pushes the pressing plate 6 to move, so that the Daqu material is pushed out of the vertical material barrel 2 and enters the Daqu block model through the pressing plate 6. Then, pressure is applied to the material in the Daqu block model to form Daqu pressing blocks.

[0051] The extrusion drive mechanism is set at the upper end of the longitudinal assembly plate 1 to drive the sliding push rod 5 to move downward, and the pressure block push plate 6 extends into the large curing block model to extrude the curing material of the large curing to form the large curing block.

[0052] A lifting guide mechanism is installed on the longitudinal assembly plate 1 to guide the longitudinal movement of the vertical material bucket 2;

[0053] And a lifting drive mechanism, which is set on the longitudinal assembly plate 1 to drive the vertical material barrel 2 to move longitudinally, so that after the vertical material barrel 2 is lifted, the large curved block model and the formed curved block can be taken out, and then the large curved block can be continuously processed.

[0054] In summary, this device applies pressure to the Daqu material through mechanical work to form Daqu briquettes, reducing manual labor, improving work efficiency, and alleviating the workload, while also avoiding inconsistent product quality caused by manual operation.

[0055] Furthermore, the large curved block model includes a bottom box 7 and a cover 8;

[0056] An annular groove 9 is provided on the upper part of the inner side of the bottom box 7 so that the cover 8 can be inserted;

[0057] The upper surface of the cap 8 has an inlet 10 at the center, through which the koji material enters the bottom box 7.

[0058] Furthermore, the side of the cap 8 facing the bottom box 7 is convex upwards, and the material after being pressured by external force is formed in the large curved block model, with the top of the curved block convex.

[0059] Furthermore, the model positioning stage includes a worktable surface 11 and a side limiting protrusion 12;

[0060] The longitudinal assembly plate 1 is vertically set on the upper surface of the workbench 11;

[0061] The side limiting protrusions 12 are arranged in two sets symmetrically on the worktable surface 11, and both sets of side limiting protrusions 12 are arranged perpendicular to each other with the longitudinal assembly plate 1.

[0062] Furthermore, the three consecutive sides of the large curved block model are positioned by simultaneously resting on the longitudinal assembly plate 1 and the two sets of side limiting protrusions 12. In actual use, the large curved block model is placed on the workbench 11 and pushed between the two sets of side limiting protrusions 12 until it rests on the longitudinal assembly plate 1, thus completing the positioning.

[0063] Furthermore, the injection channel includes a fixed pipe 13 and a flexible conveying pipe 14;

[0064] The fixed pipe 13 is located on one side of the upper end of the vertical material bucket 2 and is connected to the vertical material bucket 2. One end of the conveying flexible pipe 14 is connected to the fixed pipe 13, and the other end is connected to the conveying pump that pumps in the Daqu material.

[0065] Specifically, the material is pumped into the fixed pipe 13 through the conveying flexible pipe 14 by an external conveying pump, and then the material enters the vertical material bucket 2 through the fixed pipe 13 to complete the filling.

[0066] Furthermore, the extrusion drive mechanism includes a horizontal support plate 15, which is disposed at the upper end of the longitudinal assembly plate 1. A hydraulic cylinder 16 is fixedly mounted on the horizontal support plate 15, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 16 is connected to the sliding push rod 5 at one end opposite to the pressing plate 6. The hydraulic cylinder pushes the sliding push rod 5 downward, thereby pushing the pressing plate 6 to apply pressure to the material in the large curd block mold to form a large curd block.

[0067] Furthermore, the lifting guide mechanism includes:

[0068] A strip-shaped opening 17 is formed on the longitudinal assembly plate 1;

[0069] The horizontal connecting plate 18 consists of two sets of horizontal connecting plates 18 that are vertically connected to the side surface of the vertical material barrel 2. The two sets of horizontal connecting plates 18 are arranged parallel to each other. One end of the horizontal connecting plate 18 is connected to the vertical material barrel 2, and the other end extends through the strip opening 17 to the other side of the longitudinal assembly plate 1. The horizontal connecting plate 18 is provided with a guide sleeve 19.

[0070] The guide slide rod 20 is vertically mounted on the longitudinal assembly plate 1 and passes through the guide sleeve 19. The guide sleeve 19 slides on the guide slide rod 20.

[0071] The vertical connecting rod 21 is connected to one end of the two sets of horizontal connecting plates 18 and is opposite to the vertical material barrel 2. The vertical connecting rod 21 and the guide slide rod 20 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0072] And a vertical guide cylinder 22, which is vertically set on the upper surface of the workbench 11, and a vertical connecting rod 21 passes through the vertical guide cylinder 22 and slides within the vertical guide cylinder 22.

[0073] Furthermore, the conveying flexible pipe 14 of the injection channel is installed through the strip opening 17. This allows the conveying flexible pipe 14 to move up and down with the vertical material bucket 2 without being affected.

[0074] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism includes an electrically controlled telescopic rod 23, which is mounted on the longitudinal assembly plate 1. The telescopic end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 23 is connected to the vertical connecting rod 21 and extends out of one end of the vertical guide cylinder 22.

[0075] Specifically, the electrically controlled telescopic rod drives the vertical connecting rod 21 to move up and down, causing the horizontal connecting plate 18 to move up and down within the strip opening 17, thereby driving the vertical material bucket 2 to move up and down. During this process, the guide sleeve 19 slides on the guide slide rod 20 and plays a guiding role. Similarly, the vertical connecting rod 21 slides within the vertical guide cylinder 22 and also plays a guiding role in the up and down movement of the vertical material bucket 2.

[0076] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
