[0041] In the brewing process, the stillage is the residue after the fermentation process is completed, mainly containing inactive yeast, solid matter and part of the unconverted nutrient components. These components have been basically utilized after single or multiple distillation, and reutilization not only cannot produce more alcohol, but also may bring in bad smell and impurities, affecting the overall quality of the next batch of wine, so the stillage that cannot be utilized needs to be cleaned from time to time.

[0046] The wine still unloading mechanism is provided with the kettle body unit 2 composed of the wine still module 21 and the flip module 22, so that when the wine lees need to be cleaned, the wine still module 21 is opened by the flip module 22, manual operation is avoided, and the labor intensity of the operator is reduced, and the unloading unit 3 composed of the turnover module 31, the crawling module 32 and the conveying track module 33 is arranged, so that the wine still module 21 is driven to move along the conveying track module 33 to the unloading station by the crawling module 32, and the turnover module 31 is used to realize the turnover of the wine still module 21, the position of the turnover of the wine still module 21 is changed, interference with other distillation equipment is avoided, safety is improved, and the wine still module 21 is turned over synchronously during movement, so that the wine still module 21 is moved to the unloading station and the posture is turned over, the wine lees in the wine still module 21 are poured, and the operation efficiency is improved.

[0047] In the embodiment, the control unit is composed of a brewing line main control PLC system, a WCS (Warehouse Control System) system server and a hydraulic station system, and the coordinated operation among the wine still module 21, the flip module 22, the turnover module 31, the conveying track module 33 and the crawling module 32 is realized through multi-party interactive communication, the unmanned operation of the wine lees cleaning process is realized, the labor intensity of personnel is reduced, production data is retained, and specific data can be traced.

[0048] Optionally, as Figure 5As shown, the turnover module 31 comprises a mounting plate 311, a kettle connecting plate 312 and a rotary power element 313.

The rotary power element 313 is used to drive the kettle connecting plate 312 connected to the same mounting plate 311 to rotate.

[0049] By connecting the kettle connecting plate 312 connected to the retort module 21 to the rotary power element 313, the rotary power element 313 is used to drive the kettle connecting plate 312 to rotate, thereby realizing the turnover action of the retort module 21, so as to perform the dumping operation of the wine lees after the turnover of the retort module 21.

[0050] In the embodiment, the rotary power element 313 is a rotary speed reducer. The rotary speed reducer is a full-circle rotary speed reduction transmission mechanism integrated with a driving power source. It takes a rotary support as a transmission driven element and a mechanism attachment element. By attaching a driving element, a driving source and a cover on one of the inner and outer rings of the rotary support, the other ring is used as a connection base of the transmission driven element and a driven working component. In this way, by using the characteristic that the rotary support itself is a full-circle rotary connection element, the driving power source and the main transmission parts are efficiently configured, so that the rotary speed reducer becomes a general-purpose speed reduction transmission mechanism which integrates the functions of rotation, speed reduction and driving while having a simple structure and being convenient for manufacturing and maintenance. Since the rotary speed reducer is a conventional component in the prior art, no further description is given here.

[0051] In order to better realize the control of the speed and amplitude of the rotation of the rotary speed reducer, the rotary speed reducer is driven by a servo motor. A programmable encoder is arranged on the servo motor. The program in the encoder is set to realize the control of the speed and amplitude of the rotation of the rotary speed reducer, so as to coordinate the operation with the retort module 21, the turnover module 22, the conveying track module 33 and the crawling module 32.

[0052] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 The crawling module 32 comprises a driving gear 321, a walking power element 322 and two groups of walking wheel sets 323. The mounting plate 311 is provided with a recess. The driving gear 321 is rotatably arranged in the recess and connected to the walking power element 322. The walking power element 322 is connected to the mounting plate 311 and used to drive the driving gear 321 to rotate. The two groups of walking wheel sets 323 are arranged on both sides of the mounting plate 311 along the length direction.

[0053] The driving gear 321 is arranged to drive the mounting plate 311 to move along the conveying track module 33, and the walking wheel set 323 is connected to the two sides of the mounting plate 311 in the length direction, so as to increase the stability of the mounting plate 311 when the retort module 21 is driven to move along the conveying track module 33.

[0054] In the embodiment, the walking power member 322 is a servo motor, and a programmable encoder is arranged on the servo motor. The distance and speed of the retort module 21 are controlled by setting the program in the encoder, so as to coordinate with the retort module 21, the cover module 22, the conveying track module 33 and the turnover module 31. The servo motor is connected to the mounting plate 311 by bolts, and the driving gear 321 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor.

[0055] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 , the walking wheel set 323 comprises a connecting shaft and two rollers. The connecting shaft is inserted into the mounting plate 311, and the two rollers are respectively arranged at the two sides of the mounting plate 311 and rotatably arranged at the end of the connecting shaft.

[0056] The two rollers are arranged in the walking wheel set 323, and the two rollers of the same walking wheel set 323 are respectively arranged at the two sides of the mounting plate 311, so that the walking wheel set 323 supports the mounting plate 311 more stably, and the stability of the mounting plate 311 is ensured when the retort module 21 is driven to move along the conveying track module 33.

[0057] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 6 , the conveying track module 33 comprises a rack track assembly 331 and a track plate assembly 332. The rack track assembly 331 is connected to the track plate assembly 332. The rack track assembly 331 is located between the two rollers and is engaged with the driving gear 321. The rollers located at the two sides of the rack track assembly 331 abut against the track plate assembly 332.

[0058] The rack track assembly 331 is engaged with the driving gear 321, so that the transmission is more accurate and controllable, which is conducive to adjusting the distance and speed of the retort module 21 by the servo motor as the walking power member 322. The rack track assembly 331 is arranged between the two rollers, so as to limit the crawling module 32 and ensure that the driving gear 321 is always in the engaged position with the rack track assembly 331.

[0059] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 6As shown, the rack rail assembly 331 includes a fixed rack 3311 and a movable rack 3312, and the rail plate assembly 332 includes a fixed rail plate 3321, a movable rail plate 3322 and a lifting power member 3323, the fixed rack 3311 is vertically connected to the fixed rail, the fixed rail is connected to the rack 1, the movable rack 3312 is vertically connected to the movable rail plate 3322, the movable rail plate 3322 is connected to the lifting power member 3323, the lifting power member 3323 is located at the working station and is connected to the rack 1, and the lifting power member 3323 is used to drive the movable rail plate 3322 to lift at the working station.

[0060] Because the retort module 21 has a large weight, the teeth on the movable rack 3312 of the rack rail assembly 331 may be damaged after long-term operation, thereby causing transmission failure. Therefore, the rack rail assembly 331 is divided into the fixed rack 3311 and the movable rack 3312, and the rail plate assembly 332 is correspondingly divided into the fixed rail plate 3321 and the movable rail plate 3322. Therefore, when the teeth on the movable rack 3312 of the retort module 21 are damaged after long-term bearing, only the movable rack 3312 and the movable rail plate 3322 need to be replaced, and the entire conveying rail module 33 does not need to be replaced, thereby reducing the maintenance cost.

[0061] In the embodiment, the lifting power member 3323 is an oil cylinder, and a guide sleeve is arranged between the lifting power member 3323 and the movable rail plate 3322, thereby ensuring the straightness of the track of the movable rail plate 3322 driven by the lifting power member 3323. In addition, the conveying rail module 33 further includes a hydraulic system for controlling the oil cylinder. The hydraulic system can supply oil to the oil cylinder to drive the extension and retraction of the oil cylinder. The hydraulic system generally includes a motor, a hydraulic pump, an oil tank, a filter, a check valve, a relief valve, a pressure gauge, a solenoid valve, a pressure switch, an accumulator, an air filter, a liquid level meter, a thermometer and a drain valve.

[0062] Optionally, as Figure 6As shown, the fixed rack 3311 is provided with a first docking groove and a first docking protrusion, and the movable rack 3312 is provided with a second docking protrusion and a second docking groove. When the lifting power element 3323 drives the movable track plate 3322 to rise, the second docking protrusion is inserted into the first docking groove, and the first docking protrusion is inserted into the second docking groove.

[0063] By providing the fixed rack 3311 with a first docking groove and a first docking protrusion, and the movable rack 3312 with a second docking protrusion and a second docking groove, the second docking protrusion is inserted into the first docking groove, and the first docking protrusion is inserted into the second docking groove, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the docking position of the fixed rack 3311 and the movable rack 3312.

[0064] Optionally, as shown, Figures 1 to 3 The wine still module 21 includes a wine still pot body 211 and a wine still pot cover 212. The wine still pot cover 212 is provided on the wine still pot body 211 to close the wine still pot body 211. The flip cover module 22 includes a connecting support 221, a connecting cantilever 222, and a power module 223. The connecting support 221 is connected to the work station. One end of the connecting cantilever 222 is hinged to the connecting support 221. The other end of the connecting cantilever 222 is connected to the wine still pot cover 212. The power module 223 is connected to the connecting support 221 and is used to drive the connecting cantilever 222 to rotate around the hinge point.

[0065] By providing the connecting support 221 hinged to the connecting cantilever 222 on the work station, and driving the connecting cantilever to rotate around the hinge point by the power module, the wine still pot cover 212 is lifted or lowered when the connecting cantilever 222 rotates, thereby closing or opening the wine still pot body 211.

[0066] In this embodiment, the connecting support 221 is provided with two spaced connecting plates 224. A rotating shaft 225 is arranged between the two connecting plates 224. The connecting cantilever 222 is rotatably arranged on the rotating shaft 225 between the two connecting plates 224, thereby realizing the hinge connection between the connecting cantilever 222 and the connecting support 221.

[0067] Further, as shown, Figure 3 The power module 223 includes a lifting lead screw 2231, a lead screw sleeve 2232, and a rotating power element 2233. The lead screw sleeve 2232 is connected to the connecting support 221. The lifting lead screw 2231 is threadedly connected in the lead screw sleeve 2232 and is connected to one end of the connecting cantilever 222 away from the wine still pot cover 212. The rotating power element 2233 is connected to the connecting support 221 and is used to drive the lifting lead screw 2231 to rotate.

[0068] The rotation of the connecting cantilever 222 is realized by using a lead screw transmission mode, so that the transmission is more accurate and controllable, and the amplitude and speed of the rotation of the connecting cantilever 222 can be controlled by the rotary power member 2233.

[0069] In the embodiment, the rotary power member 2233 is a servo motor, and a programmable encoder is arranged on the servo motor. The amplitude and speed of the rotation of the connecting cantilever 222 are controlled by setting the program in the encoder.

[0070] In the wine still unloading mechanism, first, the power module 223 in the flip cover module 22 is started to drive the connecting cantilever 222 to lift the wine still pot cover 212, so that the wine still pot cover 212 is separated from the wine still pot body 211. Then, the lifting power member 3323 of the track plate assembly 332 is started to drive the movable track plate 3322 to lift the movable rack 3312, so that the movable rack 3312 is butted against the fixed rack 3311. Then, the walking power member 322 of the crawling module 32 is started to drive the driving gear 321 to rotate, so that the driving gear 321 moves along the movable rack 3312 and the fixed rack 3311, thereby driving the mounting plate 311 and the wine still pot body 211 to move from the work station to the unloading station. At the same time, the rotary power member 313 of the flip module 31 is started to drive the pot body connecting plate 312 and the wine still pot body 211 to rotate. The speed of the movement and the speed of the flip of the wine still pot body 211 are controlled by the control unit, so that the wine still pot body 211 is flipped when it moves to the unloading station, thereby realizing the pouring of the wine lees in the wine still pot body 211 and completing the cleaning of the wine lees in the wine still pot body 211.

[0071] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 8 , an automatic brewing system is also provided, which comprises the potting robot 100, the condenser 200, the material collecting track 300, the material collecting module 400 and the wine still unloading mechanism.
