Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of production of Maotai-flavor liquor, and particularly relates to a Maotai-flavor liquor steaming system. BACKGROUND

[0002] The liquor brewing industry is a unique manufacturing industry in China. In the brewing process of Maotai-flavor liquor, fermented grains (wine lees) are loaded into steaming barrels (steaming), and ethanol and various flavoring substances are extracted through steaming barrels. Therefore, the distillation process has an important influence on the quality of Maotai-flavor liquor, and the quality of distillation mainly depends on the quality of steaming.

[0003] The steaming process needs to meet the requirements of "even spreading and uniform paving" and "steam detection and steaming". The traditional steaming method is that the steaming workers use a dustpan to spread the wine lees in the wine steamer according to the requirements of "light, loose, thin, uniform, flat and accurate". However, the traditional steaming method has the disadvantages of high labor intensity, high labor cost and low work efficiency. In addition, the steaming is also affected by the steaming speed, strength, technique, experience, responsibility of the steaming workers, and the on-site management and supervision strength of the management personnel, so that the steaming quality is difficult to keep stable. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out the mechanized steaming research of Maotai-flavor liquor.

[0004] At present, the mechanized steaming of Maotai-flavor liquor mainly adopts the method of steaming robot. For example, a steaming robot for liquor production in application No. 202121233541.0 includes a storage box for storing wine lees, a conveying assembly for conveying wine lees into a distillation tank, a leveling assembly arranged on the support for leveling the wine lees conveyed into the distillation tank, and a scraper for scraping the wine lees. The height of the wine lees accumulated during the conveying process is uneven, and the scraper can level the wine lees after scraping. Although the mechanized steaming improves the work efficiency, it is difficult to achieve even spreading and uniform paving of the wine lees by the scraping method due to the high viscosity of the wine lees, which affects the distillation effect of the wine lees, and the method has not been well applied in practice.

[0005] The patent with the patent number 202210749011.4 discloses a distillation system and a distillation method. The distillation system includes a feeding subsystem, a distributing subsystem, a detection subsystem, and a control subsystem. The feeding subsystem is used to transport fermented grains. The distributing subsystem includes a robot and a distributing hopper. The robot has a six-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm, and the distributing hopper is arranged at the end of the mechanical arm. The mechanical arm can drive the distributing hopper to move to the feeding subsystem to receive fermented grains and can drive the distributing hopper to move to a distillation pot for distribution. The detection subsystem includes an infrared camera and a three-dimensional camera, which are used to obtain infrared images and three-dimensional images of the surface of the fermented grains in the distillation pot, to obtain hot spot data and three-dimensional point cloud data. The control subsystem is connected with the detection subsystem and the distributing subsystem and controls the distribution of the distributing subsystem based on the hot spot data and the three-dimensional point cloud data. The distillation process is based on the manual distillation method and uses the "gas pressure fermented grains" method for mechanical distillation. The method has great advantages by simply using the scraper to flatten the fermented grains. However, due to the high viscosity of the fermented grains, the method of moving the distributing hopper to the distillation pot for distribution by the distributing subsystem cannot achieve uniform distribution of the fermented grains. Therefore, high-end baijiu represented by Maotai baijiu still uses the manual distillation method. In addition, the "gas pressure fermented grains" method does not change the low efficiency of distillation. The distillation person has the problem of slow distillation speed. SUMMARY
