Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wine-making equipment, in particular to a koji fermentation room for wine-making. Background Art
[0002] Yeast is a microbial community, mainly composed of yeast and bacteria. Yeast can be obtained through cultivation and reproduction, or through natural fermentation. It is one of the raw materials commonly used in the wine industry. The yeast in koji is one of the most important ingredients in the winemaking process. Yeast can decompose sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide to achieve wine fermentation. The type and amount of yeast in koji will affect the flavor and taste of the wine. The yeast and bacteria in koji can inhibit the growth of other harmful microorganisms and extend the shelf life of the wine without deterioration.
[0003] Since the koji is stored in the koji room for a long time and is generally stored in a centralized location, during the koji fermentation process, the koji heats up quickly under the action of microorganisms, and the temperature and humidity are not easy to control. In addition, the temperature and humidity of the koji cannot be intuitively understood during the storage process, which ultimately affects the quality of the finished koji. If fermentation fails during centralized storage, most of the koji will be damaged, resulting in a waste of resources. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.
[0025] The utility model provides Figure 1-Figure 3 A fermentation room for brewing wine, as shown in the figure, comprises:
[0026] The main body of the qu room 1 has a plurality of fermentation tanks 2 on the indoor floor. The number of fermentation tanks 2 can be designed according to the floor area of the main body of the qu room 1. The fermentation tanks 2 are cast from pure concrete and have a square cross-section. The top of each fermentation tank 2 is provided with an insulation board 14 for sealing the fermentation tank 2. The fermentation tank 2 is used to store the koji raw material 13 for fermentation. An insulation layer 3 is provided in the wall of the main body of the qu room 1. In order to achieve a better insulation effect, the insulation layer 3 is made of a polyurethane board. A controller 7 is fixedly installed on the left outer wall of the main body of the qu room 1 by bolts, and a plurality of heating lamps 8 are fixedly installed on the indoor ceiling by bolts. In order to achieve the best heating effect, a total of five heating lamps 8 are arranged in a line at equal intervals.
[0027] The water pipe 5 has a plurality of humidifying nozzles 6 fixedly connected to its outer wall for replenishing the humidity in the qu room body 1. In order to achieve the best humidification effect, a total of twelve humidifying nozzles 6 are arranged in a line with equal spacing.
[0028] See also Figure 1 In order to ensure the fluidity of the indoor air of the qu room body 1, an exhaust fan 4 is fixedly installed on the left wall of the qu room body 1 by bolts. The air intake of the exhaust fan 4 is located indoors of the qu room body 1, and the air outlet is located outdoors. Starting the exhaust fan 4 can accelerate the discharge of indoor air.
[0029] Furthermore, an air duct 9 is installed on the right wall of the qu room body 1 by bonding with a foaming agent, and the air inlet of the air duct 9 is fixedly connected to a blower 10 through a hoop. The blower 10 is located outdoors of the qu room body 1, and the air outlet of the air duct 9 is located indoors of the qu room body 1. Starting the blower 10 can accelerate the delivery of outdoor air to the room, and the exhaust fan 4 cooperates with the blower 10 to quickly circulate the air in the room of the qu room body 1 to ensure the fluidity of the air and increase the success rate of qu fermentation.
[0030] Furthermore, a temperature and humidity sensor 11 is fixedly installed on the left wall of the room body 1 by bolts. The temperature and humidity sensor 11 is used to detect the indoor temperature and humidity and convert the detection results into electrical signals.
[0031] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each fermentation tank 2 is equipped with a temperature and humidity detector 12 and contains koji raw materials 13. During the fermentation process of the koji raw materials 13, a certain amount of heat and humidity will be generated. If the heat and humidity are too high or too low, it may lead to fermentation failure and waste of resources. The temperature and humidity detector 12 is used to monitor the temperature and humidity of the koji raw materials 13 in each fermentation tank 2 in real time, so that personnel can understand in time and make corresponding remedial measures to improve the success rate of koji fermentation.
[0032] Furthermore, a heat preservation plate 14 is provided on the top of the fermentation tank 2. Since the koji raw material 13 needs to be kept warm during the fermentation process, the heat preservation plate 14 plays a role of heat preservation. In order to prevent the koji raw material 13 from over-fermentation, breathing holes 1401 are provided on the heat preservation plate 14. The breathing holes 1401 are grouped into six groups, and there are six groups in total, which are arranged in a matrix with equal spacing.
[0033] Furthermore, the detection end of the temperature and humidity detector 12 passes through the insulation board 14 and is located inside the fermentation tank 2 to monitor the koji raw material 13. The display end of the temperature and humidity detector 12 is located on the top of the insulation board 14 to remind the staff whether the temperature and humidity of the koji raw material 13 are normal.
[0034] Please return Figure 1 In order to speed up the flow of indoor air in the curved room body 1, the air outlets of the exhaust fan 4 and the air duct 9 are set at the same height and are both located below the heating lamp 8, and the water pipe 5 is located below the exhaust fan 4 and the air duct 9.
[0035] Furthermore, the temperature and humidity sensor 11 is electrically connected to the controller 7, and the controller 7 is electrically connected to the switch of the heating lamp 8, the switch of the water pipe 5, and the switch of the exhaust fan 4. The temperature and humidity sensor 11 detects the temperature and humidity in the room, and converts the detection results into electrical signals and transmits them to the controller 7. The controller 7 switches the corresponding equipment according to the set threshold value, which can ensure that the temperature and humidity in the koji room body 1 meet the optimal fermentation standards and reduce the cumbersome steps of manual operation.
[0036] Working principle: By installing a temperature and humidity sensor 11 to detect the indoor temperature and humidity, and transmit the detection results to the controller 7, the controller 7 switches the corresponding equipment according to the set threshold value, so that the temperature and humidity in the koji room body 1 can always meet the optimal fermentation standards, and the temperature and humidity detector 12 in the fermentation tank 2 can monitor the temperature and humidity of the koji raw material 13 in real time, so that personnel can understand it in time, make corresponding remedial measures, and improve the success rate of koji fermentation.
