Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of brewing equipment, and more particularly to a multifunctional storage silo. Background Technology
[0002] Baijiu is a traditional fermentation industry in China with a long history and unique flavor, carrying the traditional Chinese brewing culture and rich historical connotations.
[0003] In the brewing process, higher demands are placed on enzyme activity, extraction efficiency, solids removal, brewing efficiency, and consistency. To ensure the quality and taste of the wine meet expectations, in addition to the development of production equipment and technology, the pursuit of excellence also requires consideration and control of grain particle size. Grain particle size affects enzyme activity; smaller particles release starch and sugar more easily, thus affecting alcohol content and taste. Particle size also affects extraction efficiency; smaller particles release nutrients more easily, thus affecting the concentration and taste of the wine. After fermentation, solid particles need to be filtered out; excessively large particles may cause filtration difficulties, affecting clarity and taste. Maintaining grain particle consistency contributes to brewing efficiency and the quality of the final product, but current storage silos only have storage and dehumidification functions, offering limited functionality and lacking the ability to screen grains.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0026] Example: A multifunctional storage silo, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a support frame 1, a storage bin 11, and a bin lid 111. The storage bin 11 is fixed to the support frame 1, and the bin lid 111 is installed on the top of the storage bin 11. The bin lid 111 also has an observation hole for observing the material condition and for inserting instruments to measure temperature and humidity. It also includes a placement plate 2, a motor I 21, an intermittent gear 22, a rack and pinion frame 23, a material distribution box 24, a double-outlet discharge device 25, a separating net 26, a separating plate 27, a partition plate 28, an elastic element I 29, and a guide rod 210. The placement plate 2 is welded to the support frame 1, and the motor I 21 is installed at the bottom of the placement plate 2. Intermittent gear 22 is rotatably connected to placement plate 2 and to the output shaft of motor I 21. The motor drives intermittent gear 22 to rotate. A double-port discharge device 25 is installed at the bottom of support frame 1. A distribution box 24 is welded to the top of the double-port discharge device 25. A separating mesh 26 is welded to one side inside the distribution box 24. A guide rod 210 is welded to the bottom of placement plate 2. A rack frame 23 is slidably connected to the guide rod 210. The rear end of the rack frame 23 meshes with the toothed part of intermittent gear 22. The rotating intermittent gear 22 will intermittently pull the rack frame 23 to slide. A separating plate 27 is welded to the front end of the rack frame 23. Plate 27 is slidably connected in the middle of the distribution box 24. The separating plate 27 slides along with the rack frame 23, thus leaving the distribution box 24. The separating plate 27 is tilted, with its lower end contacting the separating mesh 26. When the separating plate 27 is inside the distribution box 24, material flows through the distribution box 24 to the separating mesh 26. Material filtered by the separating mesh 26 flows from the right side into the double-outlet discharger 25. When the separating plate 27 leaves the distribution box 24, unfiltered material flows from the left side into the double-outlet discharger 25, achieving material distribution and conveying. A partition plate 28 is slidably connected to the top of the distribution box 24, with its front end open to... The bending rod is welded to the rear end of the separating plate 27. When the separating plate 27 slides, it will also drive the partition plate 28 to slide, thereby blocking the material in the storage tank 11 from continuing to fall and preventing all unfiltered material from flowing into the double-outlet discharger 25 from the left side. An elastic element I 29 is sleeved on the front end of the rack frame 23. When the rear end of the rack frame 23 meshes with the toothed part of the intermittent gear 22, the separating plate 27 and the partition plate 28 also move. At this time, the elastic element I 29 is stretched. After the sliding rack frame 23 disengages from the intermittent gear 22, the elastic element I 29 rebounds, so that the rack frame 23, the separating plate 27 and the partition plate 28 are reset.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a double-disc cam 3, a fixed block 31, a rotating frame 32, a torsion spring 33, a round-headed striking rod 34, and an elastic element II 35. The double-disc cam 3 is welded to the output shaft of the motor I 21. Fixed blocks 31 are welded to the left and right sides of the storage bin 11. The rotating frame 32 is rotatably connected to the fixed blocks 31. Round-headed striking rods 34 are slidably connected to both the front and rear sides of the rotating frame 32. The torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the fixed block 31, with one end welded to the fixed block 31 and the other end welded to the rotating frame 32. The elastic element II 35 is sleeved on the round-headed striking rod 34, with one end welded to the round-headed striking rod 34 and the other end welded to the rotating frame 32. 2. Welding: The double-disc cam 3 is driven by a motor to rotate, intermittently contacting the rotating frame 32. When in contact with the rotating frame 32, it squeezes the rotating frame 32 and simultaneously twists the torsion spring 33. When the round-headed striking rod 34 contacts the bottom of the storage barrel 11, the double-disc cam 3 continues to rotate, compressing the elastic element II 35, so that the round-headed striking rod 34 at the rear end completes the striking of the storage barrel 11. When the double-disc cam 3 disengages from the rotating frame 32, the torsion spring 33 and the elastic element II 35 reset, so that the round-headed striking rod 34 at the front end strikes the storage barrel 11. This process is repeated to prevent blockage when the storage barrel 11 discharges material.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a motor II4, a cross 41, and a stirring rack 42. The motor II4 is installed on the barrel lid 111. The cross 41 is welded to the bottom of the storage barrel 11. The stirring rack 42 is rotatably connected between the barrel lid 111 and the cross 41. Its upper end is welded to the output shaft of the motor II4. The motor II4 drives the stirring rack 42 to stir the material, making it easier to feed.
[0029] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, it also includes an air supply pipe 5, a connecting box 51, baffles 52, connecting pieces 521, a pull rod 53, a limiting block 531, a limiting rod 54, and an elastic element Ⅲ 55. A connecting box 51 is welded to the rear end of the dual-port discharger 25. An air supply pipe 5 is installed at the rear end of the connecting box 51, and an air source is connected to the rear end of the air supply pipe 5, providing the power for the movement of materials within the dual-port discharger 25. Multiple baffles 52 are rotatably connected within the connecting box 51. Connecting pieces 521 are welded to both sides of the baffles 52 and are connected together by the pull rod 53. Two limiting blocks 531 are provided at the lower end of the pull rod 53. The lower end is slidably connected to a limiting rod 54, which is slidably connected to a limiting block 531. An elastic element III 55 is sleeved on the limiting rod 54. The baffle 52 forms a louver. The height difference of the limiting block 531 corresponds to the closed and open positions of the baffles 52, respectively. In the closed state, the baffles 52 are tightly fitted together, and in the open state, the baffles 52 are parallel to each other. When closed, the limiting rod 54 is pulled out, and then the pull rod 53 is pulled to insert the limiting rod 54 into the upper limiting block 531, thereby changing and fixing the position of the baffle 52. The connecting piece 521 rotates with the baffle 52, and the pulled-out limiting rod 54 is reset by the elastic element III 55.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a temperature controller 6, a thermal insulation layer 61, and a heat-conducting pipe 62. The thermal insulation layer 61 is welded to the outside of the storage tank 11. The temperature controller 6 is installed on the thermal insulation layer 61. The heat-conducting pipe 62 is fitted around the outside of the storage tank 11. The heat-conducting pipe 62 is controlled by the temperature controller 6. The temperature controller 6 displays the temperature of the tank wall of the storage tank 11 and controls the heat-conducting pipe 62 to heat up and cool down, so as to keep the temperature of the storage tank 11 within a good range.
[0031] like Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a bonding scraper 7, which is welded to the bottom of the mixing rack 42 and located at the bottom of the cross 41. The bonding scraper 7 is bonded to the bottom of the storage tank 11, so that no material will remain and the feeding effect is optimized.
