Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of distilling and liquor-taking, and particularly to an alcohol content monitoring probe for distilling and liquor-taking. Background Art

[0002] In the brewing industry, distilling and liquor-taking is a key process step, the purpose of which is to separate and extract liquor with a specific alcohol content. The traditional distilling and liquor-taking process mainly relies on the experience and sensory judgment of operators, and determines the quality and alcohol content of liquor by observing the appearance, smell, taste, etc. of the liquor. However, this method has many limitations and inaccuracies. With the continuous progress of technology, various sensors and detection technologies have been gradually applied to the brewing industry. Alcohol content monitoring, as an important link among them, is of great significance for improving the brewing quality and production efficiency.

[0003] Currently, during the distilling and liquor-taking condensation process, an alcohol content monitoring probe is installed at the outlet of the condenser to obtain the alcohol content of the cooled liquor; obtain the alcohol content data of the cooled liquor in the first time so as to timely understand the distilling effect and quality; because the temperature of the liquor at some condenser outlets is still relatively high, it will not only affect the measurement progress of the alcohol content monitoring probe, but also affect the service life of the alcohol content monitoring probe when it is in a high temperature state for a long time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcoming that the existing alcohol content monitoring probe cannot continuously operate at high temperatures, and to propose an alcohol content monitoring probe for distilling and liquor-taking.

[0005] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An alcohol content monitoring probe for distilling and liquor-taking, including a condensation tube and a monitoring probe body inserted on the condensation tube, and further including a protection tube, a corrugated cooling tube, a rotating paddle and a driving component. The protection tube is sleeved on the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body. The corrugated cooling tube is installed in the protection tube and is attached to the outer wall of the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body. Two metal tubes are fixedly arranged at the upper end of the interlayer of the corrugated cooling tube. The upper ends of the metal tubes are respectively connected with a liquid inlet tube and a liquid outlet tube. A rotating shaft is rotatably arranged at the lower end of the protection tube. The lower end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with the center of the rotating paddle. The upper end of the rotating shaft is connected with the driving component, and the driving component drives the corrugated cooling tube to be extruded to realize water circulation.

[0007] Preferably, the protection tube includes a connecting tube fixedly connected with the lower end of the monitoring probe body. The lower end of the connecting tube is fixedly provided with an installation tube. A monitoring groove is opened at the bottom of the installation tube. The driving component and the corrugated cooling tube are both located in the installation tube.

[0008] Preferably, upper and lower ends of the corrugated cooling pipe are respectively fixedly provided with an upper fixing frame and a lower fixing frame. Two ends of the upper fixing frame are fixedly connected with the inner wall of the protection pipe, and two ends of the lower fixing frame are connected with the driving assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a connecting ring and a lifting ring located at the bottom of the inner wall of the protection pipe. The center of the lower surface of the connecting ring is fixedly connected with the upper end of a rotating shaft. A driving ring is fixedly provided on the upper surface of the connecting ring. Two driving rods are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the lifting ring. The driving rods are in contact with the upper surface of the driving ring.

A corrugated cooling pipe sleeving the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body is arranged inside the protection pipe. A coolant is arranged in the corrugated cooling pipe to cool the outer wall of the monitoring end. When the wine liquid flows in the condensing pipe, it will drive the rotating paddle below the protection pipe to rotate. The rotating paddle drives the driving assembly to operate, enabling the lower end of the corrugated cooling pipe to move up and down. When the corrugated cooling pipe moves upward, it is squeezed, causing the monitoring end to be exposed, increasing the monitoring area, and discharging the coolant in the corrugated cooling pipe from the liquid outlet pipe.

Detailed implementation manners

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0026] Embodiment: This embodiment provides an alcohol content monitoring probe for distilling and picking wine. Refer to Figures 1-6 , specifically, it includes a condensation tube 1 and a monitoring probe body 11 inserted on the condensation tube 1, and also includes a protective tube 12, a corrugated cooling tube 13, a rotating paddle 15 and a driving component. The protective tube 12 is sleeved on the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body 11. The corrugated cooling tube 13 is installed in the protective tube 12, and the corrugated cooling tube 13 is attached to the outer wall of the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body 11. Two metal tubes 18 are fixedly provided at the upper end of the interlayer of the corrugated cooling tube 13. The upper ends of the metal tubes 18 are respectively connected with a liquid inlet pipe 16 and a liquid outlet pipe 17. The upper ends of the liquid inlet pipe 16 and the liquid outlet pipe 17 both pass through the two sides of the upper end of the protective tube 12, and the ends of the liquid inlet pipe 16 and the liquid outlet pipe 17 are both located outside the condensation tube 1. The lower end of the protective tube 12 is rotatably provided with a rotating shaft 14. The lower end of the rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the center of the rotating paddle 15, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 14 is connected to the driving component. The driving component drives the corrugated cooling tube 13 to be extruded to realize water circulation;

[0027] Install the protection tube 12 on the monitoring probe body 11, then insert the protection tube 12 into the condensation tube 1, and fix the protection tube 12 and the condensation tube 1 together; the corrugated cooling tube 13 is made of fluororubber, which is an organic elastomer copolymerized from fluorine-containing monomers, and has excellent high-temperature resistance (up to 300 °C), acid and alkali resistance, oil resistance, and the outer wall of the corrugated cooling tube 13 is coated with a high-temperature resistant material; a coolant is added through the liquid inlet pipe 16 in the interlayer inside the corrugated cooling tube 13, and one-way valves are provided in both the liquid inlet pipe 16 and the liquid outlet pipe 17 to cool the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body 11 through the coolant; the rotating paddle 15 is located outside the protection tube 12. When the condensed wine in the condensation tube 1 flows, it will pass through the protection tube 12, pushing the rotating paddle 15 to rotate. The rotating paddle 15 drives the driving assembly to operate through the rotating shaft 14, and the driving assembly drives the lower end of the corrugated cooling tube 13 to move up and down reciprocally. When the lower end of the corrugated cooling tube 13 moves upward, extrusion occurs, exposing the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body 11, facilitating the monitoring probe body 11 to monitor the wine degree. Moreover, the coolant in the corrugated cooling tube 13 is squeezed out from the liquid outlet pipe 17. When the lower end of the corrugated cooling tube 13 descends, it fits against the outer wall of the monitoring probe body 11, and the coolant enters the corrugated cooling tube 13 from the liquid inlet pipe 16 through negative pressure, effectively cooling the monitoring probe body 11 while realizing the circulation of the coolant, improving the monitoring accuracy and service life.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the protection tube 12 includes a connecting tube 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the monitoring probe body 11. The lower end of the connecting tube 2 is fixedly provided with an installation tube 21. A monitoring groove 22 is opened at the bottom of the installation tube 21. The driving assembly and the corrugated cooling tube 13 are both located inside the installation tube 21. A sealing plate 6 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the protection tube 12 above the monitoring groove 22. The monitoring end of the monitoring probe body 11 penetrates through the center of the sealing plate 6;

[0029] The protection tube 12 is divided into two sections, the connecting tube 2 and the installation tube 21, and both are located in the wine liquid in the condensation tube 1. The upper half of the connecting tube 2 is sealed by the sealing plate 6, so that the steam in the condensation tube 1 will not enter the inside of the monitoring probe body 11; when the wine liquid passes through the protection tube 12, it will pass through the monitoring groove 22 and contact the end of the monitoring probe body 11.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the upper end and the lower end of the corrugated cooling tube 13 are respectively fixedly provided with an upper fixing frame 3 and a lower fixing frame 31. The two ends of the upper fixing frame 3 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protection tube 12, and the two ends of the lower fixing frame 31 are connected to the driving assembly; the position of the corrugated cooling tube 13 is fixed by the upper fixing frame 3, and the lower fixing frame 31 is used to drive the lower end of the corrugated cooling tube 13 to move.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the driving component includes a connecting ring 4 and a lifting ring 42 located at the bottom inner wall of the protection tube 12. The center of the lower surface of the connecting ring 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 14. A driving ring 41 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the connecting ring 4. Two driving rods 43 are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the lifting ring 42. The driving rods 43 are in contact with the upper surface of the driving ring 41. The upper surface of the lifting ring 42 is fixedly connected to both ends of the upper fixing frame 3. Limiting blocks 5 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the protection tube 12. Connecting grooves 51 are formed on both sides of the lifting ring 42. The limiting blocks 5 are in contact with the inner wall of the connecting grooves 51;

[0032] The rotation of the rotary paddle 15 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 drives the connecting ring 4 to rotate. The connecting ring 4 drives the driving ring 41 to rotate. Due to the thrust generated elastically by the corrugated cooling tube 13, the lower end of the driving rod 43 is in contact with the driving ring 41. The rotation of the driving ring 41 makes the driving rod 43 located at the bottom and top of the groove. When the driving rod 43 is located at the top of the groove, the corrugated cooling tube 13 is squeezed. When it is at the bottom, the corrugated cooling tube 13 restores by its own elastic force, realizing the circulation of the coolant in the corrugated cooling tube 13.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, an arc-shaped guide plate 7 is fixedly arranged at the edge of the lower surface of the protection tube 12; the guide plate 7 blocks half of the rotary paddle 15 and guides the flowing liquor to the other half of the rotary paddle 15, facilitating the rotation of the rotary paddle 15.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] When the liquor condensed in the condensing tube 1 flows, it will pass through the protection tube 12, pushing the rotary paddle 15 to rotate. The rotation of the rotary paddle 15 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 drives the connecting ring 4 to rotate. The connecting ring 4 drives the driving ring 41 to rotate. The rotation of the driving ring 41 makes the driving rod 43 located at the bottom and top of the groove. When the driving rod 43 is located at the top of the groove, the corrugated cooling tube 13 is squeezed, exposing the monitoring end of the monitoring probe body 11, facilitating the monitoring probe body 11 to monitor the liquor degree, and the coolant in the corrugated cooling tube 13 is squeezed out from the liquid outlet pipe 17; when it is at the bottom, the corrugated cooling tube 13 restores by its own elastic force and fits with the outer wall of the monitoring probe body 11, and the coolant enters the corrugated cooling tube 13 from the liquid inlet pipe 16 through negative pressure, effectively cooling the monitoring probe body 11 while realizing the circulation of the coolant.

[0036] The above are only the preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes, shall be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
