Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of wine brewing technology, and in particular to a condensed water collection device for a koji fermentation bin. Background Art
[0002] In the koji production process, as the koji enters the fermentation room and heats up, a large amount of water vapor will escape from the koji pile from the inside to the outside and from the bottom to the top, which will greatly increase the humidity in the warehouse. In the current koji production plant, there are two ways to discharge the condensed water in the warehouse, which are as follows:
[0003] One is to install shutters to allow the steam in the warehouse to evaporate naturally, but this method can only discharge part of the steam. The steam in the warehouse condenses into small droplets when it is cold and returns to the fermentation warehouse, which not only increases the humidity in the fermentation warehouse, but also affects the fermentation quality of the koji.
[0004] The second is to use concrete drainage ditches in the fermentation bin. The concrete drainage ditch consists of two parts: a collecting trough and a drainage hole. The water vapor in the fermentation bin condenses into droplets and flows into the collecting trough through the gable top wooden board, and then is discharged from the fermentation bin through the drainage hole, so as to adjust and reduce the humidity in the fermentation bin. However, the construction process of concrete drainage ditches is complicated and the cycle is long. Leakage often occurs in the later stage and is difficult to repair. In addition, the concrete drainage ditch is large in size, which not only occupies the space of the fermentation bin, but also affects the employees' operations in the bin. At the same time, impurities accumulated in the drainage ditch are difficult to clean.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a condensate collection device for a koji fermentation bin to solve the technical problems raised above. Utility Model Content
[0006] Based on this, a condensate collection device for a koji fermentation bin is provided, which simplifies the construction procedure, reduces the volume of the collection device, and reduces the incidence of damage and leakage of the device. Even if it is damaged later, it is relatively easy to repair and replace.
[0007] On the one hand, a condensate collection device for a koji-making fermentation bin is provided, the collection device comprising: a stainless steel collecting part, the stainless steel collecting parts are respectively arranged below the bottom edges of both sides of the gable top wooden board in the fermentation bin, and are used to collect droplets flowing in from the gable top wooden board; a stainless steel drainage part, the stainless steel drainage part is connected to the stainless steel collecting part, and is used to discharge the droplets collected in the stainless steel collecting part; and a cleaning part, the cleaning part is arranged on the stainless steel collecting part, and is used to clean debris collected in the stainless steel collecting part.
[0008] Preferably, the stainless steel collecting part is configured as a long groove-shaped structure; the top surface of the stainless steel collecting part is open and faces the position of the gable top wooden board.
[0009] Preferably, the stainless steel collecting part is arranged at an angle.
[0010] Preferably, the stainless steel drainage part is connected to a lower end of the stainless steel collecting part.
[0011] Preferably, the stainless steel drainage part is configured as an arc-shaped tube.
[0012] Preferably, the cleaning part is slidably disposed on the stainless steel collecting part, and reciprocates along the length direction of the stainless steel collecting part.
[0013] Preferably, the cleaning part comprises a cleaning portion slidably disposed inside the stainless steel collecting part and a handle connected to the cleaning portion and for hand-holding.
[0014] Preferably, a cleaning port is provided on the side of the stainless steel collecting part, and a cleaning door which can be opened or closed is also provided at the position of the cleaning port.
[0015] Preferably, an observation window is also provided on the side of the stainless steel collecting part.
[0016] Beneficial effects:
[0017] The above-mentioned condensate collection device for the koji-making fermentation bin can collect droplets flowing into the fermentation bin from the gable top wooden board through the stainless steel collecting part, and can discharge the droplets collected in the stainless steel collecting part in time through the stainless steel drainage part. By adopting stainless steel materials with higher durability and smoother surface, the service life of the collecting device is greatly improved, and it is convenient for maintenance; in addition, a cleaning part is added, and impurities in the stainless steel collecting part can be quickly cleaned through the use of the cleaning part, which reduces the labor intensity of employees and is more convenient for maintenance and cleaning during use; the combination of the stainless steel collecting part, the stainless steel drainage part and the cleaning part simplifies the construction procedure, reduces the volume of the collecting device, and reduces the incidence of damage and leakage of the device.

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0022] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment only illustrate the basic concept of the present application in a schematic manner, and therefore the drawings only show components related to the present application rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.
[0023] The structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification so as to facilitate understanding and reading by persons familiar with this technology. They are not used to limit the conditions under which this application can be implemented, and therefore have no substantive technical significance. Any structural modification, change in proportion or adjustment of size, without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by this application, should still fall within the scope of the technical contents disclosed in this application.
[0024] The directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", "longitudinal", "lateral", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "radial", "circumferential" and the like in this specification are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings and are only for the convenience of simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0025] Among the two methods of discharging condensed water in the fermentation bin in the prior art, the natural discharge method of the blinds can only discharge water vapor, and the water vapor cannot be discharged after condensing into small droplets when it is cold; and the concrete drainage ditch has to go through 11 processes such as laying concrete, drying, and brushing waterproof paint, which takes 15 days to complete. The construction period is long, and waterproof paint must be applied after damage and leakage in the later stage, which is not easy to repair; and the size of the concrete drainage ditch is 30×30cm, and the internal depth is 20×15cm. The overall volume is large and occupies the space of the fermentation bin. In addition, the concrete drainage ditch is only 5cm away from the gable top wooden board. Due to the structure of the fermentation bin and the drainage ditch, the straw and accumulated impurities inside the production process are not easy to clean.
[0026] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a condensate collection device for a koji fermentation bin, in which both the stainless steel collection part 1 and the stainless steel drainage part 2 are made of stainless steel material with higher durability and smoother surface, which greatly improves the service life of the collection device, facilitates maintenance, and makes drainage more efficient. At the same time, a cleaning part 3 is added to facilitate maintenance and cleaning during use.
[0027] The following is a detailed description of a condensate collection device for a fermentation tank in a koji making process provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the collecting device includes: a stainless steel collecting part 1, a stainless steel drainage part 2 and a cleaning part 3. The stainless steel collecting part 1 is arranged in two groups. The two groups of stainless steel collecting parts 1 are respectively arranged below the bottom edges of the two sides of the gable top wooden board in the fermentation bin, and are used to collect droplets flowing in from the gable top wooden board; the stainless steel drainage part 2 is connected to the stainless steel collecting part 1, and is used to discharge the droplets collected in the stainless steel collecting part 1; the cleaning part 3 is arranged on the stainless steel collecting part 1, and is used to clean the debris collected in the stainless steel collecting part 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, by providing a cleaning portion 3, impurities in the stainless steel collecting portion 1 can be quickly cleaned, thereby reducing the labor intensity of employees. By adopting a stainless steel collecting portion 1 and a stainless steel drainage portion 2, both of which are made of stainless steel materials with higher durability and smoother surface, the service life of the collecting device is greatly improved, and it is convenient for maintenance. More importantly, this type of collecting device simplifies the construction procedure, reduces the size of the collecting device, and reduces the incidence of damage and leakage of the device. Even if it is damaged at a later stage, it is relatively easy to repair and replace.
[0029] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the fermentation bin generally includes a bottom surface, a top surface and four side walls, and a gable top wooden board is provided below the top surface. The middle top of the gable top wooden board is high, and the bottom edges on both sides are low, and the bottom edges on both sides are supported on two opposite side walls. A stainless steel collecting part 1 is provided below the side bottom edges of the gable top wooden board. Thus, it is closed at the top of the side wall through the gable top wooden board, so that when moisture encounters the gable top wooden board, the moisture will be liquefied into droplets and slide into the stainless steel collecting part 1 provided below the bottom edges on both sides of the gable top wooden board, and then the droplets are discharged to the sewer along the stainless steel drainage part 2.
[0030] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the stainless steel collecting part 1 is configured as a long groove structure, and the top surface of the stainless steel collecting part 1 is open and faces the side bottom edge of the gable top plank. The long groove structure facilitates the collection of droplets flowing from the gable top plank. Preferably, the depth of the stainless steel collecting part 1 is set to 5 cm, the width is set to 15 cm, and the height from the ground is set to 2.55 m.
[0031] In one feasible manner, the stainless steel collecting part 1 is tilted, that is, one end of the stainless steel collecting part 1 is high and the other end is low. In this manner, the collected droplets can be gathered to a lower place by gravity, thereby facilitating subsequent drainage operations. Preferably, in this embodiment, the height difference between the two ends of the stainless steel collecting part 1 is set to 5 cm.
[0032] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the stainless steel drain portion 2 is connected to the lower end of the stainless steel collecting portion 1, and the stainless steel drain portion 2 is configured as an arc-shaped tube. The droplets collected in the stainless steel collecting portion 1 are gathered at a lower position and finally discharged through the stainless steel drain portion 2, so that the stainless steel collecting portion 1 continuously collects the droplets, and the droplets continuously gather at a lower position and are then discharged to the sewer in a timely manner through the stainless steel drain portion 2.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the cleaning part 3 is slidably disposed on the stainless steel collecting part 1, and reciprocates along the length direction of the stainless steel collecting part 1. Through the sliding of the cleaning part 3, the impurities accumulated inside the stainless steel collecting part 1 can be scraped from the front to the rear end, and the impurities can be gathered in one place.
[0034] Of course, in order to facilitate the cleaning of impurities in the stainless steel collecting part 1, a cleaning port 11 is also provided on the side of the stainless steel collecting part 1, and the accumulated impurities can be discharged from the cleaning port 11; preferably, a cleaning door 12 that can be opened or closed is also provided at the position of the cleaning port 11. Through the setting of the cleaning door 12, the cleaning port 11 can be sealed when the cleaning part 3 is not in use to avoid liquid droplet leakage. When the impurities need to be cleaned, it is only necessary to open the cleaning door 12 again, which is convenient to use.
[0035] In one feasible manner, the cleaning portion 3 includes a cleaning part 31 and a handle 32. The cleaning part 31 is adapted to the stainless steel collecting part 1. The cleaning part 31 is arranged inside the stainless steel collecting part 1 and can slide back and forth along the length direction of the stainless steel collecting part 1. The cleaning part 31 can gather impurities backwards during the sliding process from front to back.
[0036] The handle 32 is connected to the cleaning part 31 . The setting of the handle 32 makes it convenient for an operator to hold the cleaning part 31 to operate the sliding operation of the cleaning part 31 in the stainless steel collecting part 1 .
[0037] In this embodiment, it should be noted that an observation window 13 is also provided on the side of the stainless steel collecting part 1. The observation window 13 can be used to observe the situation of impurities collected in the stainless steel collecting part 1 at any time to avoid blockage. When it is observed from the position of the observation window 13 that there are a lot of impurities collected in the stainless steel collecting part 1 and it needs to be cleaned, the operator holds the handle 32, and then uses the cleaning part 31 to scrape the impurities accumulated inside from the front to the rear end, and then opens the cleaning door 12 to take out the impurities, completing a cleaning task.
[0038] The following is a comparison of the cost considerations of the concrete drain ditch in this application and the prior art from the perspective of economic benefits:
[0039] The cost of concrete drainage ditch construction in the existing technology is: material cost: 448 yuan / room;
[0040] Total cost: 142x448=63616 yuan
[0041] The construction cost of the condensate collection device for the koji fermentation warehouse of this application: Material cost: 330 yuan / room;
[0042] Total cost: 142x330=46860 yuan
[0043] According to the total cost comparison of the two different methods, it can be concluded that the condensate collection device for the fermentation bin of the present application can save 142x448-142x330=16756 yuan for a single plant.
[0044] Furthermore, the construction of a fermentation warehouse concrete drainage ditch has 11 processes and takes 292.8 hours, while the installation time required for the construction of the koji fermentation warehouse condensate collection device of this application is 40 hours, and the labor cost is calculated at 300 yuan per day, which reduces the labor cost of installation by 9480 yuan in total;
[0045] Furthermore, the thickness of the original drainage ditch is 32 cm, occupying 11.6% of the fermentation bin space; the condensed water collection device of the koji fermentation bin of the present application has a depth of 5 cm, a width of 15 cm, a height from the ground of 2.55 m, and occupies 3.6% of the height of the fermentation bin.
[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0047] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
