Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of brewing, and particularly relates to a brewing steaming and gelatinizing device and its process. Background Art

[0002] The raw materials for white liquor brewing are usually cereal raw materials such as red grains and wheat. During the brewing process, the steaming and gelatinizing process of grains directly determines the taste of the brewed liquor. By steaming the raw materials under high temperature and high pressure conditions after water absorption, the plant tissues and cells are completely broken. The particles contained in the raw materials are damaged due to water absorption and expansion, and the starch changes from particles to a dissolved paste solution. The purpose is to make it vulnerable to the action of amylase and hydrolyze the starch into fermentable sugars. At the same time, after the raw materials are steamed under high temperature and high pressure, the raw materials are sterilized.

[0003] In the existing brewing steaming and gelatinizing device, the grains are usually heated by introducing gas from the bottom. Since the grains are laid relatively thickly, after heating, it is easy to cause the sugar viscosity inside the grains to increase and stick together, resulting in the part that first contacts the steam being cooked, while the rest is not cooked evenly and cannot meet the requirements of gelatinization. It is necessary to manually stir-fry the grains regularly. Manual operation cannot ensure uniform heating of the grains during steaming, and it is easy to cause fatigue during the process. The uneven heating makes the grains stick to the inner wall of the steaming pot, which is not convenient for cleaning.

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a brewing steaming and gelatinizing device and its process to meet the requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a brewing steaming and gelatinizing device and its process to solve the problem that in the existing method of heating grains by introducing gas from the bottom, since the grains are laid relatively thickly, it is easy to cause the part that first contacts the steam to be cooked, while the rest is not cooked evenly and cannot meet the requirements of gelatinization.

At the bottom of the valve core of the air change valve, a valve core connecting rod is fixedly installed, and the tail end of the valve core connecting rod passes through the mounting shaft seat and is rotatably installed at the end of the crank wheel.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting shaft seats are parallel to each other, the first gear and the second gear are on the same plane, the piston and the piston cylinder are horizontal, the piston and the piston cylinder use wear-resistant materials, and the air change valve uses a three-position five-way structure.

[0011] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes a pressure relief joint. The pressure relief joint is fixedly installed on one side of the air change valve. At the top of the pressure relief joint, a top pressure bolt is threadedly connected. At the bottom of the top pressure bolt, an elastic telescopic rod is fixedly connected. On the elastic telescopic rod, a fixed block is fixedly sleeved and installed.

[0012] Preferably, a rotating mounting sleeve is rotatably nested at the end of the grain steaming and gelatinizing tank body. A rotating mounting sleeve is nested inside the second gear. A gas distribution ring is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating mounting sleeve. The third gas transmission pipe is connected to the gas distribution ring. Steam diffusion pipes are equiangularly distributed and installed on the gas distribution ring. A support sleeve is sleeved outside the steam diffusion pipe, and the support sleeve rotates on the gas distribution ring. A third gear is sleeved on the support sleeve. A tooth disc is meshed and connected to the outside of the third gear. A sliding rod is fixedly installed on one side of the tooth disc, and the end of the sliding rod slides in the inner chute of the grain steaming and gelatinizing tank body. Limiting rods are fixedly installed equiangularly in the middle of the tooth disc. The third gears are meshed and connected to each other by a fourth gear. A sliding telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the tail end of the fourth gear, and the sliding telescopic rod is connected to the rotating mounting sleeve through a damper.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating mounting sleeve is made of heat-insulating material, the gas distribution ring and the steam diffusion pipes are made of pure copper material, the support sleeve is made of nickel-plated alloy material, the third gear and the fourth gear are made of heat-resistant nylon material. The third gear and the tooth disc are on the same plane, and the tooth disc and the fourth gear are on the same axis.

[0014] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes diffusion joints. Diffusion joints are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outside of the support sleeve, and the diffusion joints are symmetrically installed on the outside of the support sleeve. Rotating support rods are symmetrically installed on the outside of the support sleeve. A flipping stirring rod is movably installed at the top of the rotating support rod. An inner wall scraper is fixedly installed on one side of the support sleeve. A vortex fan is rotatably installed at the bottom of the rotating support rod.

[0015] Preferably, the diffusion joint uses a Z-shaped structure. Inverted conical air holes are arranged on the outside of the rotating support rod. The flipping stirring rod and the inner wall scraper are made of heat-resistant silica gel material.

[0016] Preferably, the production process steps of a brewing grain steaming and gelatinizing device are as follows:

[0017] S1: Put the grain particles into the grain soaking pool, soak the grains with hot water at 75 - 80 °C, and the soaking time is 6 - 8 hours;

[0018] S2: Connect the water tank pipeline, start the heating machine to heat the water to generate steam, adjust the passage of the reversing valve so that the steam can pass through the second gas transmission pipe and the third gas transmission pipe, adjust the rated pressure of the adjusting assembly, and drive the driving assembly to move through the steam to preheat the device;

[0019] S3: When the temperature of the thermometer outside the tank exceeds 60°C, the soaked grains are poured into the steaming and gelatinizing tank from the opening of the rear side of the tank, and the stirring assembly is driven by the steaming assembly to rotate, so that the grains are stir-fried and heated by the water vapor. When the temperature displayed on the thermometer reaches 100-120°C, the water vapor is stopped from being supplied to the gas pipe 3, and the steaming and gelatinizing tank is kept warm for 20-40 minutes. During the heat preservation process, the driving assembly still drives the stirring assembly to stir the steamed and gelatinized grains normally.

[0020] S4: After the steaming and gelatinization is completed, the channel at the bottom of the grain steaming and gelatinization tank is opened to pour out the gelatinized grain. The stirring component scrapes the inner wall of the tank when pouring out the grain to assist in pouring the gelatinized grain. After the cooking and gelatinization is completed, cleaning water is injected into the grain steaming component through the external pipe port of the external water pipe reversing valve and the three-way air pipe. The inner wall of the tank is cleaned by scraping the inner wall by the stirring component.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In the above scheme, a grain steaming component and a stirring component are provided. During use, water vapor enters the air distribution ring and is dispersed into the steam diffusion tube. The third gear, the fourth gear and the gear plate are meshed with each other to drive the support sleeve to rotate, so that the steam diffusion tube and the support sleeve channels are connected, so that the flip stirring rod and the inner wall scraper stir the grain. At the same time, the water vapor blows the turbofan, so that the connecting rod rotates and drives the flip stirring rod to rotate, so that while the grain is being stir-fried, the grain can be quickly stirred in different areas. When the grain particles are lifted up, water vapor is sprayed on the grain particles at multiple angles and multiple times to penetrate the grain particles. The grain is steamed grain by grain inside by high-temperature steam, so that the steamed and gelatinized grain can be cooked more evenly. At the same time, the gelatinized grain adhered to the inner wall of the grain steaming and gelatinizing tank is scraped to prevent inconvenience in cleaning later.

[0023] By providing a diffusion joint, during use, the Z-shaped diffusion joint can prevent grain from entering the channel of the steam diffusion tube during the process of stirring and frying grain, so that water vapor can be sprayed over a large area while preventing grain from entering and blocking the channel.

[0024] By providing a reversing valve and an air pipe, when the steamed grain gelatinization tank is cleaned after the steamed grain gelatinization is completed, the external water pipe is connected to the external joint of the reversing valve, and the water vapor is transported to start the driving component to drive the grain steaming component and the stirring component, and the inner wall of the steamed grain gelatinization tank is scraped and cleaned while spraying water to remove the attached gelatinized matter, which is convenient for personnel operation and saves labor costs.

[0025] By providing an adjustment component, during use, the position of the fixed block on the elastic telescopic rod can be changed by first adjusting the extension length of the top pressure bolt. When the air pressure is too high, the water vapor squeezes the fixed block, the elastic telescopic rod stretches, and the water vapor is discharged through the cavity gap. After the pressure decreases, the elastic telescopic rod returns to its original state, and the fixed block blocks the cavity gap again. The amount of steam can be adjusted according to the technological requirements of wine brewing.

[0026] By providing a drive component, during use, as the water vapor reciprocally enters the piston cylinder to squeeze the piston, the piston drives the crank connecting rod to displace, thereby causing the crank wheel to drive the third gear to rotate. The steaming grain component is rotated by connecting the fourth gear through a synchronous belt. No additional electricity is required, reducing the energy consumption of the device. At the same time, the tank body is further heated by conduction through mechanical work. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
