Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of baijiu fermentation container technology, and more particularly to a baijiu fermentation container for solid-state brewing. Background Technology
[0002] Solid-state fermentation of pure grains is a baijiu brewing process. Pure grain solid-state fermented baijiu is produced using a completely traditional brewing process. Grains are used as raw materials, which are crushed and then mixed with yeast. The mixture is then naturally fermented in mud pits or earthenware jars for a certain period of time, and finally distilled at high temperature.
[0003] In the process of solid-state fermentation of baijiu, different types of grains need to be steamed and mixed. During fermentation, the steamed mixture needs to be mixed with rice husks and yeast to ensure interaction between the materials and improve the quality of the baijiu produced by subsequent distillation. When mixing the steamed mixture with rice husks and yeast, it needs to be spread out to dissipate heat and improve fermentation efficiency. Currently, the spreading operation in baijiu fermentation is often done manually, which is inefficient and results in poor uniformity of fermentation, leading to poor quality and efficiency in the later stages of fermentation. Furthermore, the large movements during manual spreading cause a lot of disturbance to the surrounding air, increasing the chance of impurities entering the mixture during fermentation and reducing the quality of the baijiu produced by subsequent distillation.
[0004] Based on this, a fermentation vessel for solid-state brewing of baijiu is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, a driving assembly for driving the separating tooth block to slide is connected to the separating tooth block.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution: A fermentation container for solid-state brewing of baijiu includes a fermentation dish 1. The lower end of the fermentation dish 1 is connected to an inner toothed ring 41 with teeth on its inner side. The inner toothed ring 41 can mesh with a separation tooth block 43.

The support frame 4 and the support rod 3 are used to ensure the stability of the support ring 2 structure. The structure of the fermentation dish 1 is rotatably connected to the support ring 2. A connecting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support ring 2. One end of the connecting frame 14 is connected to a slide rail frame 15. A ladder frame 17 is slidably connected inside the slide rail frame 15. The connection between the ladder frame 17 and the slide rail frame 15 is a fitting structure. Both ends of the ladder frame 17 are connected to return springs 16. One end of the return spring 16 is connected to the slide rail frame 15, and the other end of the return spring 16 is fixedly connected to the slide rail frame 15. A clamping plate 26 is connected to the lower end of the ladder frame 17. A deflection rod 48 is rotatably connected to the clamping plate 26. A flattening plate 24 is connected to the deflection rod 48. The flattening plate 24 is located above the fermentation dish 1. An abutment frame 47 is connected to the flattening plate 24. When the flattening plate 24 is in a vertical state, one end of the abutment frame 47 abuts against the lower surface of the ladder frame 17. A pushing mechanism for moving the ladder frame 17 is provided on one side of the ladder frame 17. A rotating mechanism for rotating the fermentation dish 1 is provided below the fermentation dish 1.
[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pushing mechanism includes a turntable 12, on which a traction rod 30 is fixedly connected. The traction rod 30 is fixedly connected to a non-central position of the turntable 12. A sleeve 13 is sleeved on the outside of the traction rod 30, and a push rod 18 is connected to the outside of the sleeve 13. The push rod 18 is connected to the ladder frame 17. An upper shaft 32 is connected to one side of the turntable 12, and an upper wheel 25 is connected to one end of the upper shaft 32. A shaft frame 26 is connected to the upper end of the support frame 4. A fixed cylinder 27 is connected to the shaft frame 26, and a fixed frame 28 is connected to the fixed cylinder 27. The upper shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 28, and a driving component for driving the upper wheel 25 to rotate is connected to the upper wheel 25.
[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the push rod 18 has a bent structure at one end near the ladder frame 17. The bent structure can be used to push the ladder frame 17 to move on the slide rail frame 15. One side of the bent structure is vertical, and the other side is inclined at a certain angle.
[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the driving component includes a rotary motor 21. A motor base 10 is connected to one side of the support frame 4. The rotary motor 21 is connected to the motor base 10 through a motor clamp 11. An output shaft 31 is connected to the output end of the rotary motor 21. A lower wheel 29 is connected to the output shaft 31. The output shaft 31 is rotatably connected inside the fixed cylinder 27. The lower wheel 29 and the upper wheel 25 are connected through a transmission belt 19. A bevel gear 23 is connected to one end of the output shaft 31. The rotary motor 21 can drive the lower wheel 29 and the bevel gear 23 to rotate simultaneously.
[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, a bottom shaft 20 is rotatably connected to the support frame 4. The bottom shaft 20 is used to determine the installation position of the first bevel gear 22. The upper end of the bottom shaft 20 is connected to the first bevel gear 22, and the upper end of the first bevel gear 22 is connected to a vertical rod 45. The first bevel gear 22 and the second bevel gear 23 mesh with each other. The upper end of the vertical rod 45 is connected to a slide block 42. A separation tooth block 43 is slidably connected inside the slide block 42. There are two separation tooth blocks 43, which are symmetrically slidably connected inside the slide block 42. A drive component is connected to the separation tooth block 43 to drive the separation tooth block 43 to slide.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly includes a lifting sleeve 37, which is slidably connected to a vertical rod 45. A hinge block 38 is connected to the upper end of the lifting sleeve 37. A separating tooth block 43 is connected to the hinge block 38 via a hinge frame 44. Both ends of the hinge frame 44 are rotatably connected to the separating tooth block 43 and the hinge block 38, respectively. A lever frame 35 is connected to the support ring 2. A deflecting cylinder 36 is rotatably connected to the lever frame 35. A rocker plate 7 is connected to the deflecting cylinder 36 and is rotatably connected to the lever frame 35 via the deflecting cylinder 36. One end of the rocker plate 7 is connected to a clamping piece 34. A cylinder frame 5 is connected to the support frame 4. A sleeve block 33 is connected to the cylinder frame 5. A telescopic cylinder 6 is connected to the sleeve block 33 and is rotatably connected to the cylinder frame 5 via the sleeve block 33. One telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the clamping piece 34.
[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a spring frame 39 is connected to the upper end of the lifting sleeve 37, and a tube spring 40 is connected to the upper end of the spring frame 39. The tube spring 40 can be used to lower the height of the lifting sleeve 37 when it is not subjected to the action of the rocker 7. The upper end of the tube spring 40 is connected to the slide block 42, and the tube spring 40 is sleeved on the vertical rod 45. The main purpose of setting the spring frame 39 structure is to avoid interfering with the deflection of the hinge frame 44.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a limiting frame 8 is connected to the support frame 4, and a limiting cylinder 9 is connected to the limiting frame 8. The limiting cylinder 9 is sleeved on the outside of the vertical rod 45, and the limiting cylinder 9 is used to limit the vertical rod 45, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the vertical rod 45.
[0027] In summary, the solid-state fermentation vessel for baijiu (Chinese liquor) provided in this embodiment involves mixing various cooked grains with rice husks and yeast during solid-state baijiu fermentation. After mixing with one of the materials, a spreading and heat-dissipating reaction is required. The operator places the mixture on the fermentation dish 1, at which point the rotary motor 21 and the telescopic cylinder 6 are activated. The rotary motor 21 operates continuously, while the telescopic cylinder 6 reciprocates. When the rotary motor 21 rotates, it drives the lower wheel 29 and the bevel gear 23 to rotate. The lower wheel 29 drives the upper wheel 25 to rotate via the transmission belt 19. The upper wheel 25, through the upper shaft 32, drives the turntable 12 to rotate. When disc 12 rotates, it drives traction rod 30 to rotate, which in turn pulls push rod 18 to move. Since one end of push rod 18 is bent, when push rod 18 moves forward, the bent structure abuts against ladder frame 17, pushing ladder frame 17 to slide on slide rail frame 15. This stretches and compresses the return springs 16 at both ends of ladder frame 17. When push rod 18 moves backward, the inclined surface of the bent structure on push rod 18 slides against ladder frame 17, causing push rod 18 to deflect upward at a small angle. At this time, when ladder frame 17 is not under the action of push rod 18, the return springs 16 push ladder frame 17 back to its initial state. When push rod 18 pushes ladder frame 17 to move, the flat-laying mechanism located below ladder frame 17... Simultaneously, the plank 24 moves. Due to the support of the abutment frame 47, the plank 24 is in a vertical position, capable of pushing the solid mixture on the fermentation dish 1. When the ladder frame 17 is not acted upon by the push rod 18, the plank 24 deflects. The rotation of the second bevel gear 23 causes the first bevel gear 22 to rotate. Since the first bevel gear 22 is connected to the slide block 42 via the vertical rod 45, and when the telescopic cylinder 6 retracts, the output end of the telescopic cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the clamping plank 34, thus causing the rocker arm 7 to rotate around the lever frame 35. One end of the rocker arm 7 is clamped to the outside of the lifting sleeve 37, so at this time, the rocker arm 7 will drive the lifting sleeve 37 to overcome the action of the tube spring 40 and move upwards. The movement utilizes the hinge frame 44 to push the separating teeth 43 away from each other until the outer side of the separating teeth 43 meshes with the inner tooth ring 41. At this time, the rotation of the slide block 42 will drive the inner tooth ring 41 to rotate, thereby driving the fermentation dish 1 above to rotate. In conjunction with the spreading paddle 24, the solid mixture in the fermentation dish 1 is spread evenly, improving the fermentation efficiency of the solid mixture. Furthermore, the solid mixture in the fermentation dish 1 is pushed forward and then backward to spread evenly, so that the solid mixture in the fermentation dish 1 is spread in a wave-like pattern on the plane. The wave-like concave structure of the solid mixture in the fermentation dish 1 is loose, which is more conducive to the fermentation of the solid mixture in the fermentation dish 1.Compared to manual operation, this container has less movement and less air disturbance during the spreading process, which reduces the chance of impurities entering the mixture during fermentation and ensures the quality of the alcohol produced by subsequent distillation.
