Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of craft beer brewing, in particular to a high-efficiency fermentation equipment for craft beer and an operation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Beer is an alcoholic beverage brewed by liquid gelatinization and saccharification, and then liquid fermentation with wheat malt and barley malt as main raw materials and hops. The main fermentation equipment for beer is a fermentation tank. In the fermentation process, the fermentation temperature is controlled by circulating cooling liquid through the cooling jacket. Different beer styles require different fermentation temperatures, generally between 10℃-25℃. Precise temperature control helps the growth and metabolism of yeast, ensures the smooth progress of the fermentation process, and also affects the flavor and taste of beer.

[0003] In order to ensure the fermentation quality and efficiency of craft beer, yeast is generally added to the inside of the fermentation tank. In the early stage of fermentation, the ventilation system blows a certain amount of sterile air into the wort to meet the oxygen demand of yeast growth and reproduction. As the fermentation proceeds, the ventilation volume is gradually reduced until the ventilation is stopped, allowing the yeast to ferment under anaerobic conditions to produce alcohol, and using a stirrer to uniformly mix the wort so that the yeast and wort are in full contact, preventing the yeast from precipitating and improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0004] However, in actual use, the method of directly adding inoculated yeast to the inside of the fermentation tank requires opening the fermentation tank, which will cause changes in the temperature and pressure in the tank, causing carbon dioxide to escape and enter oxygen, thereby affecting the activity of the inoculated yeast and the fermentation efficiency, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of beer fermentation.

[0015] A method for operating a high-efficiency fermentation device for craft beer, comprising the high-efficiency fermentation device for craft beer, the method comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1: When the inoculated yeast and additives need to be added to the inside of the fermentation tank, the stirring shaft in the inside of the fermentation tank rotates and contacts the arc-shaped block, which pushes the arc-shaped block to move to the right side, thereby driving the blocking block one to move to the right side and extruding the elastic piece one to elastically deform, so that the blocking block one does not block the outlets of the two storage tanks, thereby enabling the inoculated yeast and additives in the inside of the two storage tanks to enter the inside of the placing tank and stay on the left side of the blocking block one. When the stirring shaft is not in contact with the arc-shaped block, the elastic piece one can perform a reset movement, thereby pushing the blocking block one to move to the left side, so that the blocking block one extrudes the inoculated yeast and additives to pass through the through groove and enter the inside of the fermentation tank, thereby enabling the inoculated yeast and additives to be added without opening the fermentation tank;

[0017] S2: When the inoculated yeast in the inside of the fermentation tank is fermented, the carbon dioxide containing water vapor generated can enter the inside of the exhaust pipe and flow to the other end of the exhaust pipe. A large amount of carbon dioxide containing water vapor can be filtered by the screen one, so that relatively dry carbon dioxide can enter the inside of the installation cover and enter the inside of the collecting tank through the connecting pipe. At this time, the limiting block is clamped in the limiting groove, thereby enabling the blocking block one to move by pulling the pull rope two, so that the pull rope two drives the push plate to move. When the push plate moves to the right, the elastic piece three is extruded to deform, and the carbon dioxide on the right side in the inside of the collecting tank extrudes the movable piece, so that the movable pieces on the upper and lower sides rotate to the left and extrude the elastic piece four to deform. At this time, the carbon dioxide on the right side in the inside of the collecting tank enters the left side of the push plate, so that the blocking block one does not pull the pull rope two when the blocking block one moves to the left side. At this time, the elastic piece three performs a reset movement, thereby pushing the push plate to move to the left side, and the elastic piece four performs a reset movement to push the movable piece to close, thereby enabling the push plate to move to the left side to be sealed. Under the leftward movement of the push plate, the carbon dioxide on the left side in the inside of the collecting tank enters the inside of the fermentation tank through the exhaust hole, so as to add carbon dioxide to the inside of the fermentation tank and reduce the oxygen content in the inside of the fermentation tank;

[0018] S3: When the blocking block one moves to the right side, the blocking block one pushes the connecting rod to move to the right side, so that the connecting rod pushes the connecting piece to move to the right side, so that the connecting piece slides on the inner wall of the screen one, under the continuous movement of the connecting piece, the knocking block gradually contacts the arc-shaped ring, so that the knocking block moves inwards when contacting, so that the knocking block extrudes the elastic piece two to generate deformation, so that the elastic piece two generates reset movement, and under the continuous movement of the connecting piece, when the knocking block is not in contact with the arc-shaped ring, the elastic piece two generates reset movement, so as to push the knocking block to knock the inner wall of the screen one, so that the screen one generates vibration, and a large amount of condensed water attached to the inner wall of the screen one falls, so as to improve the collection efficiency of carbon dioxide;

[0019] S4: When the inoculated yeast or additive in the storage tank needs to be added, the clamping piece is buckled, so that the clamping piece generates deformation, and then the clamping piece is separated from the inside of the clamping groove, and then the blocking piece is buckled, so that the blocking piece is counterclockwise reversed, at this time, the extension pipe is pulled to the right side, so that the extension pipe pulls the blocking block two to move to the right side through the pull rod, so that the pull rod blocks the hole on the lower side of the inner wall of the storage tank, so that the inoculated yeast and the additive in the storage tank cannot enter the inside of the placing tank, at this time, the inoculated yeast and the additive can be added to the inside of the storage tank through the path formed between the extension pipe and the blocking piece.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0021] In the present application, the dosing path is designed on the inner wall of the fermentation tank, and then the movement of the arc-shaped block is controlled by the rotation of the stirrer, so that the quantitative addition of inoculated yeast and additive to the inside of the fermentation tank is controlled, and the screen and the mounting cover are installed in the exhaust pipe for collecting the discharged carbon dioxide, and the push plate is used to pressurize it into the inside of the fermentation tank, so as to prevent the content of oxygen from being too high, so that the inoculated yeast will not be oxidized excessively, and then it is helpful to maintain the chemical stability and microbial stability of beer brewing, so as to ensure the beer fermentation quality, and the economic efficiency is higher.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 17This invention provides a technical solution: a high-efficiency fermentation device for craft beer, including a fermentation tank 1. An exhaust pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fermentation tank 1. The fermentation tank 1 is the main body of the fermentation device, and it contains a heater, sensors, and a controller. The fermentation temperature is controlled by circulating coolant through a cooling jacket. Precise temperature control helps the growth and metabolism of the inoculated yeast, ensuring the smooth progress of the fermentation process, and also affecting the flavor and taste of the beer. The fermentation tank 1 has an internal placement tank 2 for circulating inoculated yeast and additives. The additives can be categorized as nitrogen sources, carbon sources, and vitamins, which can be used to inoculate the yeast. It provides energy to promote the activity, growth, and metabolic activities of the inoculated yeast, improving the stability and efficiency of fermentation. A blocking block 3 is slidably connected inside the placement tank 2, limiting its movement and preventing it from shifting. An arc-shaped block 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the blocking block 3. Multiple through slots 5 are formed on the outside of the arc-shaped block 4, providing space for the inoculated yeast and additives to enter the fermenter 1. Two storage slots 6 are formed on the upper inner wall of the placement tank 2; one storage slot 6 stores the inoculated yeast, and the other stores the additives. The exhaust pipe 7 is detachably connected to the left side of the exterior. Screen 8 is made of polydimethylsiloxane and its modified film, which can block oxygen and water vapor while allowing carbon dioxide to pass through. A connecting piece 21 is slidably connected inside screen 8. The connecting piece 21 is used to scrape the inner wall of screen 8 to prevent condensation from clogging it and ensure that carbon dioxide can pass through smoothly. A mounting cover 9 is fitted over screen 8. A connecting pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting cover 9, and the other end of the connecting pipe 10 is connected to a collection tank 11. The mounting cover 9 guides the carbon dioxide passing through screen 8 into the collection tank 11 through the connecting pipe 10, while allowing its condensate to pass through screen 8. The connection part is connected to the lower inside of the mounting cover 9, and a valve is installed at the bottom of the mounting cover 9 to complete the collection of condensate, thereby improving the economic efficiency of the equipment. A push plate 12 is slidably connected inside the collection tank 11. The collection tank 11 provides an environment for the pressurization of carbon dioxide. Multiple exhaust holes 13 are fixedly connected to the left side of the inner wall of the collection tank 11. The push plate 12 is used to push carbon dioxide through the exhaust holes 13 into the interior of the fermenter 1, thereby ensuring the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the fermenter 1. A waterproof filter membrane is installed on the part of the exhaust hole 13 that contacts the fermenter 1 to prevent liquid inside the fermenter 1 from entering the interior of the collection tank 11.

[0042] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to facilitate the movement of the connecting piece 21, a connecting rod 18 is fixedly connected to the right end of the blocking block 3. The blocking block 3 is used to push the connecting rod 18 to move. An elastic element 19 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting rod 18. The connecting rod 18 limits the elastic element 19 so that the elastic element 19 will not shift when deformed. The end of the connecting rod 18 away from the blocking block 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 21. A fixing piece 20 is slidably connected to the outside of the connecting rod 18. The fixing piece 20 limits the connecting rod 18 so that the connecting rod 18 will not shift when sliding. The fixing piece 20 is used to seal the placement groove 2 so that the gas inside the exhaust pipe 7 inside the placement groove 2 will not enter the interior of the placement groove 2. One end of the elastic element 19 is fixedly connected to the fixing piece 20, and the other end of the elastic element 19 is fixedly connected to the blocking block 3. The fixing piece 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 7.

[0043] Example 3: Based on Example 2, to ensure that condensate does not clog the aperture of screen 8, multiple arc-shaped rings 37 are fixedly connected inside screen 8. A mounting groove 22 is provided inside the connecting piece 21. The connecting piece 21 is slidably connected to the inner side of the arc-shaped rings 37, allowing the connecting piece 21 to be unobstructed by the arc-shaped rings 37 and to scrape against the inner wall of screen 8, thereby scraping off the condensate. An elastic element 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 22, and the elastic element 23 is located away from the mounting groove 22. A striking block 24 is fixedly connected to one side. The striking block 24 slides with the arc ring 37. Under the deformation of the elastic element 23, the striking block 24 is pushed by the arc ring 37 and slides into the interior of the mounting groove 22. Under the reset action of the elastic element 23, the striking block 24 strikes the screen 8, thereby causing the condensate water that was not scraped off by the connecting piece 21 to fall off through vibration. The striking block 24 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 22. The mounting groove 22 limits the striking block 24 so that the striking block 24 will not deviate when moving.

[0044] Example 4: Based on Example 3, in order to facilitate the transfer of carbon dioxide from the collection tank 11 to the fermenter 1, multiple movable pieces 35 are hinged inside the push plate 12. Two elastic elements 36 are fixedly connected to the left side of the movable pieces 35, and the other end of the elastic elements 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the push plate 12. The elastic elements 36 are evenly distributed on the push plate 12 and the movable pieces 35, allowing the movable pieces 35 to rotate easily. When the two movable pieces 35 are no longer in contact, the carbon dioxide on the right side of the collection tank 11 can enter the left side of the collection tank 11 through the push plate 12. After the movable pieces 35 on the upper and lower sides are in contact, the push plate 12 and the collection tank 11 form a sealed space. As the push plate 12 moves to the left, it pushes the carbon dioxide into the fermenter 1. Multiple elastic elements 34 are fixedly connected to the side of the push plate 12 near the pull rope 14. The other end of the elastic elements 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collection tank 11. Part 34 is used to assist the movement of the push plate 12. Two pull ropes 14 are fixedly connected to the right side of the push plate 12. Pull ropes 14 are slidably connected inside the collecting groove 11, which limits their movement to prevent them from shifting during sliding. A limiting groove 15 is formed at the end of pull ropes 14 away from the push plate 12. A limiting block 16 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 15. A second pull rope 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting block 16 away from the limiting groove 15. The other end is fixedly connected to the first block 3, and the second pull rope 17 is slidably connected inside the placement groove 2. After the limiting block 16 is slid into the limiting groove 15, the second pull rope 17 and the first pull rope 14 are connected. Both the second pull rope 17 and the first pull rope 14 are steel wires, so that the first block 3 can drive the push plate 12 to move synchronously when it moves. Since the limiting groove 15 and the limiting block 16 can be separated from each other, carbon dioxide can be selectively added according to the carbon dioxide and oxygen content inside the fermenter 1.

[0045] Example 5: Based on Example 4, in order to selectively add inoculated yeast or additives into the fermenter 1, two feeding pipes 25 are fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the storage tank 6. A baffle 29 is hinged to the upper side of the inside of the feeding pipe 25. A slot 30 is opened inside the right side of the baffle 29. A clip 28 is engaged inside the slot 30. An extension pipe 27 is fixedly connected to the right side of the clip 28, so that the feeding channel of the storage tank 6 can be closed after the baffle 29 and the extension pipe 27 are connected. Two pull rods 33 are fixedly connected to the left side of the extension pipe 27. Two limiting strips 31 are fixedly connected inside the storage tank 6. A second blocking block 32 is slidably connected to the lower side of the limiting strip 31. A sliding groove 26 is opened inside the lower side of the feeding pipe 25. The tube 27 is slidably connected inside the chute 26, which limits the extension tube 27 to prevent it from detaching from the feed tube 25. The right side of the baffle 29 is in contact with the left side of the extension tube 27. The bottom end of the second block 32 is slidably connected to the lower inner wall of the storage tank 6. The pull rod 33 is slidably connected inside the fermentation tank 1, which limits the pull rod 33 to prevent it from shifting during movement. The pull rod 33 is used to connect the second block 32 and the extension tube 27, allowing the extension tube 27 to pull the second block 32 to move. Since the two feed tubes 25 are designed separately, the appropriate pipe can be opened to add inoculated yeast and additives according to the fermentation time, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0046] Example 6: Based on Example 5, an operating method for a high-efficiency fermentation device for craft beer is proposed, including the high-efficiency fermentation device for craft beer, and the method includes the following steps:

[0047] S1: When it is necessary to add inoculated yeast and additives into the fermentation tank 1, the stirring shaft inside the fermentation tank 1 rotates and contacts the arc-shaped block 4. It pushes the arc-shaped block 4 to move to the right, and then the arc-shaped block 4 drives the blocking block 3 to move to the right, and squeezes the elastic element 19 to make elastic deformation. As a result, the blocking block 3 no longer blocks the outlet of the two storage tanks 6, and then the inoculated yeast and additives in the two storage tanks 6 can enter the interior of the placement tank 2 and stay on the left side of the blocking block 3. At this time, when the stirring shaft is no longer in contact with the arc-shaped block 4, the elastic element 19 can perform a reset movement, and then push the blocking block 3 to move to the left, so that the blocking block 3 can squeeze the inoculated yeast and additives through the passage 5 into the interior of the fermentation tank 1, and thus add inoculated yeast and additives without opening the fermentation tank 1.

[0048] S2: During fermentation of the inoculated yeast inside the fermenter 1, the generated carbon dioxide containing water vapor enters the interior of the exhaust pipe 7 and flows to the other end of the exhaust pipe 7. A large amount of carbon dioxide containing water vapor is filtered by the screen 8, allowing the drier carbon dioxide to enter the interior of the mounting cover 9 and then enter the interior of the collection tank 11 through the connecting pipe 10. At this time, the limiting block 16 is engaged inside the limiting groove 15, which allows the blocking block 3 to move by pulling the pull rope 14 through the pull rope 17. The pull rope 17 then drives the push plate 12 to move. When the push plate 12 moves to the right, it squeezes the elastic element 34 to deform, and the carbon dioxide on the right side of the collection tank 11 squeezes the movable plate 35, causing the upper and lower parts to move together. The movable piece 35 on the side can rotate to the left and squeeze the elastic element 36 to deform. At this time, the carbon dioxide on the right side of the collection tank 11 can enter the left side of the push plate 12. Then, when the block block 3 moves to the left, the block block 3 no longer pulls the pull rope 17. At this time, the elastic element 34 can perform a reset movement, which pushes the push plate 12 to the left. The elastic element 36 can also perform a reset movement, which pushes the movable piece 35 to close, which in turn makes the push plate 12 move to the left to seal. As the push plate 12 moves to the left, the carbon dioxide on the left side of the collection tank 11 can enter the interior of the fermenter 1 through the exhaust hole 13, so as to add carbon dioxide to the interior of the fermenter 1 and reduce the oxygen content inside the fermenter 1.

[0049] S3: When the blocking block 3 moves to the right, it pushes the connecting rod 18 to move to the right, which in turn pushes the connecting piece 21 to move to the right. This allows the connecting piece 21 to slide on the inner wall of the screen 8. As the connecting piece 21 continues to move, the striking block 24 gradually comes into contact with the arc ring 37, causing the striking block 24 to move inward upon contact. This causes the striking block 24 to compress the elastic element 23 and deform, allowing the elastic element 23 to perform a reset movement. As the connecting piece 21 continues to move, when the striking block 24 is no longer in contact with the arc ring 37, the elastic element 23 performs a reset movement, which pushes the striking block 24 to strike the inner wall of the screen 8, causing the screen 8 to vibrate. This causes a large amount of condensate adhering to the inner wall of the screen 8 to drip down, thereby improving the carbon dioxide collection efficiency.

[0050] S4: When the inoculated yeast or additives inside the storage tank 6 need to be added, the clip 28 is snapped to deform and detach from the slot 30. Then, the baffle 29 is snapped to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the extension tube 27 is pulled to the right, which moves the blocking block 32 to the right through the pull rod 33. This blocks the hole on the lower side of the inner wall of the storage tank 6, preventing the inoculated yeast and additives inside the storage tank 6 from entering the placement tank 2. At this time, the inoculated yeast and additives can be added to the storage tank 6 through the path formed between the extension tube 27 and the baffle 29.
