Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beer production, in particular to a device for preventing foam overflow in a horizontal beer fermentation tank. Background Art
[0002] Traditional horizontal beer fermentation tanks use a large empty volume ratio or a rotary tank washer installed at a high position to clean the horizontal fermentation tank. The large empty volume ratio and the rotary tank washer will increase the cost, and the ball washer is required to be located at about one-third of the tank height. During the beer fermentation process, the foam rises easily to the one-third position, causing foam overflow. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to provide a device for preventing foam overflow in a horizontal beer fermentation tank, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a device for preventing foaming of a horizontal beer fermentation tank, comprising a horizontal tank body, wherein brackets are provided on both the front and rear sides of the bottom of the horizontal tank body, a branch pipe is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the horizontal tank body, an exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the branch pipe, the branch pipe is connected to the horizontal tank body, a straight cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the branch pipe, a sealing plate is installed inside the straight cylinder, exhaust ports are opened on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the straight cylinder, and a tank washing ball is installed at the bottom of the straight cylinder.
[0005] Preferably, two sealing rings are installed at the bottom of the sealing plate.
[0006] Preferably, the inner sides of the straight tube are outwardly expanded and inclined.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the device for preventing foaming of a horizontal beer fermentation tank can be discharged through the exhaust port when the gas pushes up the sealing plate when there is a slight pressure, and can be automatically closed by the gravity drop of the sealing plate when there is no pressure. In this way, the exhaust and cleaning functions of the original tank washing ball are changed to the tank washing ball only cleaning, and the upper exhaust port is responsible for exhausting, and the exhausted gas will pass through the straight cylinder and then through the exhaust pipe. During cleaning, due to the effect of the cleaning pressure, the cleaning liquid is only discharged through the tank washing ball, not through the exhaust port, and insufficient cleaning pressure will not be caused. The exhaust and cleaning of the beer fermentation tank are separated, and the exhaust position is improved, thereby increasing the utilization rate of the fermentation tank, and preventing foaming by increasing the empty capacity rate and reducing the capacity utilization rate of the tank.

[0011] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0012] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides a device for preventing foam overflow of a horizontal beer fermentation tank, comprising a horizontal tank body 1, which is a container tank for beer fermentation. Brackets 2 are arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the horizontal tank body 1, and the brackets 2 support the horizontal tank body 1. A branch pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the horizontal tank body 1, and the branch pipe 3 is used for gas transmission. An exhaust pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the branch pipe 3, and the exhaust pipe 4 is used for exhausting the gas inside the horizontal tank body 1. The branch pipe 3 is connected to the horizontal tank body 1, and a straight cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the branch pipe 3. The straight cylinder 5 is equipped with a component for controlling gas exhaust. A sealing plate 9 is installed inside the straight cylinder 5, and the sealing plate 9 seals the bottom of the straight cylinder 5 to control the sealing of the exhaust port 7. Exhaust ports 7 are opened on the left and right sides of the bottom of the straight cylinder 5, and the exhaust port 7 allows the gas inside the horizontal tank body 1 to be discharged. A tank washing ball 8 is installed at the bottom of the straight cylinder 5. The tank washing ball 8 is a device used in actual production and is used to clean the horizontal tank body 1.
[0013] Specifically, two sealing rings 6 are installed at the bottom of the sealing plate 9 , and the sealing rings 6 increase the sealing performance inside the straight tube 5 .
[0014] Specifically, the inner sides of the straight tube 5 are outwardly expanded and inclined, and there is space for the sealing plate 9 to move upward.
[0015] Working principle: two exhaust ports 7 are added to the upper part of the tank washing ball 8 near the horizontal tank body 1. When there is a slight pressure, the gas will push up the sealing plate 9 and rise, and then be discharged through the exhaust ports 7. When there is no pressure, the sealing plate 9 will automatically close due to gravity drop. In this way, the original exhaust and cleaning functions of the tank washing ball 8 are changed to the tank washing ball 8 only cleaning (the tank washing ball 8 is buried in the beer during beer fermentation). The upper exhaust port 7 is responsible for exhaust, and the exhausted gas will pass through the straight cylinder 5 and then be discharged through the exhaust pipe 4; during cleaning, due to the effect of the cleaning pressure, the cleaning liquid is only discharged through the tank washing ball 8, not through the exhaust port 7, which will not cause insufficient cleaning pressure.
[0016] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
