[0002] At present, in the brewing industry, temperature control plays a vital role in the quality of liquid, especially in the fermentation and storage process of liquid. Traditional brewing tanks are often made of metal or plastic materials, which not only have great defects in thermal insulation performance, but also for the bottom of such storage tanks, due to their structural characteristics, it is usually difficult to provide effective thermal insulation effect, which will lead to uneven distribution of liquid temperature.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a brewing tank, including a sloping bottom 10, a grille 20, a top plate 30 and a cylinder 40. The sloping bottom 10 is inclined and made of concrete. The grille 20 is laid on the upper surface of the sloping bottom 10, and the inside of the grille 20 is filled with a foaming layer 202. The top plate 30 is covered on the top of the grille 20 and is made of fiberglass. The cylinder 40 is inserted on the sloping bottom 10, and a connecting flange is provided on the top of the cylinder 40 for connecting other equipment or pipelines.

[0038] On the other hand, a method for making a brewing tank is provided, which is used to make a brewing tank, comprising the following steps:

[0039] S1. Prepare fiberglass materials, concrete, and reinforced plastic or metal materials;

[0040] S2. According to the drawings, the cylinder 40 is prepared using glass fiber reinforced plastic material, and after the cylinder 40 is solidified, it is polished to ensure a smooth surface;

[0041] S3, using professional molds to cast concrete to form a slope bottom 10 with a slope within 3°-10°;

[0042] S4, after the inclined bottom 10 is completely dried, a grid 20 made of reinforced plastic or metal material is laid on the upper surface of the inclined bottom 10, and then a foaming layer 202 is evenly filled in the grid 20, ensuring that the thickness of the foaming layer 202 is between 50 mm and 150 mm;

[0043] S5, after the foaming layer 202 is filled, the top plate 30 is placed on the top of the grid 20;

[0044] S6. Insert the prepared cylinder 40 into the inclined bottom 10.

[0045] Specifically, the inclined bottom 10 made of concrete in this embodiment can effectively ensure the stability of the bottom of the brewing tank, and can promote the rapid discharge of the liquid inside it, avoid the accumulation of sediment in the tank, and reduce the difficulty of cleaning operations. Further, a grid 20 is laid on the inclined bottom 10, and a top plate 30 is covered on the grid 20, and a foaming layer 202 is filled inside the grid 20, which can ensure the good thermal insulation performance of the inclined bottom 10, solve the problem of uneven temperature in traditional storage tanks, and also ensure the sealing of the brewing tank, and avoid direct contact between the liquid and the inclined bottom 10. At the same time, the cylinder 40 can be inserted into the inclined bottom 10, and a connecting flange is set on the top for connecting other equipment or pipelines, so that the brewing tank as a whole can be connected and installed as needed, and the stable connection between the inclined bottom 10 and the cylinder 40 can be ensured, and the stability of the brewing tank as a whole can be ensured. Therefore, under the simple setting of the internal structure of the brewing tank, it is convenient for operators to carry out daily inspection and maintenance operations, and its service life is extended.

[0046] The specific structure of the brewing tank in this embodiment is described below.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the brewing tank includes an inclined bottom 10, a grille 20, a top plate 30, a barrel 40 and a sealing ring 60. Specifically, in this embodiment, the inclined bottom 10 is located at the bottom and is inclined to facilitate the discharge of the liquid. The grille 20 is laid on the upper surface of the inclined bottom 10, so that the internal liquid can be effectively supported and direct contact between the liquid and the inclined bottom 10 can be avoided. Further, the top plate 30 is covered on the top of the grille 20, which can effectively form a sealing layer to avoid liquid leakage. At the same time, the barrel 40 is inserted on the inclined bottom 10, and a connecting flange is provided on the top of the barrel 40, so that the storage function of the brewing tank can be ensured, and the connection with other equipment or pipelines can be realized through the connecting flange. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a sealing ring 60 is also provided to ensure the sealing setting inside and outside the barrel 40.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the inclined bottom 10 is made of concrete, and the slope of the inclined bottom 10 is set in the range of 3°-10°, so that the liquid can be discharged smoothly and the accumulation of sediment can be avoided through the inclined setting, and the stability of the overall structure can be improved, so as to ensure that the brewing tank is not easy to tip over or be damaged during use. Exemplarily, a discharge port 70 is provided at the lower end of the inclined bottom 10 for the discharge of liquid. Exemplarily, the inclined bottom 10 needs to be properly cured, so as to improve the compressive strength of the concrete, thereby improving the overall strength of the inclined bottom 10, and the curing time is usually more than 7 days.

[0049] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the grille 20 is fixed to the inclined bottom 10 by a buckle 201, and a foam layer 202 is filled inside the grille 20 to ensure the stable installation of the grille 20 on the inclined bottom 10, and the foam layer 202 can effectively improve the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the grille 20, so that it can stably support the liquid in the brewing tank and reduce the direct contact of the liquid on the inclined bottom 10, thereby reducing the impact on the insulation effect during the subsequent use of the brewing tank. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the buckle 201 is provided with two parts, namely a first fixing part and a second fixing part. Optionally, in this embodiment, a plurality of small squares are provided on the grille 20, and the side length of the small squares is not greater than 100 mm, and the first fixing part can be hooked on the edges of two adjacent small squares to ensure that the position of each small square can be fixed. Furthermore, the first fixing portion is configured as a U-shaped structure, and the second fixing portion is inserted into the first fixing portion and then fixed in the inclined bottom 10, so that under the action of the second fixing portion, each small square can be stably installed on the inclined bottom 10, thereby ensuring the stable placement of the grille 20 on the inclined bottom 10, thereby ensuring the load-bearing capacity and stability of the grille 20, and preventing the liquid from causing deformation or damage to the grille 20 during use, thereby affecting its supporting effect.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the thickness of the foaming layer 202 is set in the range of 50mm-150mm, and the foaming layer 202 is made of polyurethane foam insulation material to ensure its thermal insulation performance. For example, when filling the foaming layer 202, it is necessary to fill it evenly and use professional equipment for foaming treatment to ensure that the material is fully solidified, thereby achieving the continuity of the foaming layer 202 and achieving the best thermal insulation effect. Specifically, polyurethane has excellent thermal insulation performance, which can effectively prevent the loss of heat, and then under the action of the foaming layer 202, the grille 20 can effectively insulate the inclined bottom 10 to avoid the occurrence of uneven temperature. Optionally, the top plate 30 can be installed on the top of the grille 20 by hand paste. In this embodiment, the top plate 30 is made of fiberglass, so as to form a sealing layer on the top of the grille 20 to prevent liquid leakage and further ensure the airtightness of the brewing tank.

[0051] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the barrel 40 can be inserted into the inclined bottom 10, and the gap between it and the inclined bottom 10 is filled with resin mortar 50 to ensure a close connection between the two. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the thickness of the barrel 40 is set in the range of 10mm-30mm, and it is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic material to ensure that the barrel 40 has high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, and is suitable for storing and brewing various types of liquids. Further, a connecting flange is provided on the top of the barrel 40, which is not only convenient for connection, but also can ensure good sealing inside the barrel 40 to avoid leakage of liquid. Optionally, after the barrel 40 is cured, it is necessary to grind the barrel 40 to ensure that the surface of the barrel 40 is smooth to avoid contamination of the liquid during use. Further, under the action of the resin mortar 50, the adhesion and sealing between the barrel 40 and the inclined bottom 10 can also be guaranteed.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the sealing ring 60 in this embodiment includes an external sealing ring 61 and an internal sealing ring 62, and the cross-sections of both are L-shaped. Specifically, the external sealing ring 61 is connected to the outside of the inclined bottom 10 and the cylinder 40 respectively, and the internal sealing ring 62 is connected to the inside of the top plate 30 and the cylinder 40 respectively, so as to ensure the sealing effect inside and outside the cylinder 40 and ensure that there will be no leakage. Specifically, under the overall cooperation of the sealing ring 60 and the top plate 30, the inside of the cylinder 40 is double-protected so that the liquid will not leak.

[0053] The method for making the brewing tank in this embodiment is described in detail below.

[0054] The method for making a brewing tank is used to make a brewing tank, comprising the following steps:

[0055] S1. Prepare fiberglass materials, concrete, and reinforced plastic or metal materials;

[0056] S2. According to the drawings, the cylinder 40 is prepared using glass fiber reinforced plastic material, and after the cylinder 40 is solidified, it is polished to ensure a smooth surface;

[0057] S3, using professional molds to cast concrete to form a slope bottom 10 with a slope within 3°-10°;

[0058] S4, after the inclined bottom 10 is completely dried, a grid 20 made of reinforced plastic or metal material is laid on the upper surface of the inclined bottom 10, and then a foaming layer 202 is evenly filled in the grid 20, ensuring that the thickness of the foaming layer 202 is between 50 mm and 150 mm;

[0059] S5, after the foaming layer 202 is filled, the top plate 30 is placed on the top of the grid 20;

[0060] S6, inserting the prepared cylinder 40 into the inclined bottom 10;

[0061] S7. Fill the gap between the cylinder 40 and the inclined bottom 10 with resin mortar 50, and seal the inside and outside of the cylinder 40 with a sealing ring 60.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the combination of the inclined bottom 10 and the grid 20 can effectively promote the rapid discharge of liquid at the discharge port 70, and can effectively reduce the subsequent cleaning work, thereby improving the operating efficiency. This process is crucial to the brewing process and can effectively help improve production efficiency. Further, the grid 20 is filled with a foam layer 202 made of polyurethane foam insulation material, which can ensure that the inclined bottom 10 of the brewing tank has good insulation performance, thereby solving the problem of uneven temperature of traditional storage tanks in the prior art, thereby ensuring the quality and stability of the liquid. This setting is of great significance to the chemical reaction and yeast activity during the brewing process. Furthermore, the barrel 40 is made of fiberglass material, so that the entire brewing tank has excellent corrosion resistance, so that it can store a variety of chemical liquids and extend the service life of the brewing tank. At the same time, the inclined bottom 10 made of concrete has good compressive strength, so that the stability of the overall structure can be ensured. Therefore, the brewing tank in this embodiment is not only light in overall design, which is convenient for transportation and quick installation, effectively reducing construction costs and time, but also suitable for small breweries or mobile brewing equipment. The structural design inside the brewing tank is simple, which is also convenient for daily inspection and maintenance operations by operators, greatly reducing operating costs, thereby reducing the workload of regular inspection and cleaning of the brewing tank and improving management efficiency.
