DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the specific embodiments in the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Embodiment 1

[0021] See also Figure 1, a gas-liquid separation system, comprising a collection pipe 2 connected to each fermentation tank 1, an output pipe 4 connected to a filtering system 3, and a controller. The outlet of the collection pipe 2 is provided with a U-shaped elbow 5, and the rising side of the U-shaped elbow 5 is provided with a first material level detector 6. The U-shaped elbow 5 allows the air segment or bubble to have a rising process, which makes it easier for the first material level detector 6 to detect whether there is material. A horizontal exhaust pipe 7 is provided at the top of the rising side of the U-shaped elbow 5. The horizontal exhaust pipe 7 is arranged horizontally, and an exhaust device 8 is provided at one end of the horizontal exhaust pipe 7 for exhausting air in the pipeline. A buffer mechanism 9 is provided at the bottom of one end of the horizontal exhaust pipe 7 close to the exhaust device 8. The buffer mechanism 9 is used to temporarily store a certain amount of fermentation liquid, which can play a role in slowing down the flow rate. The outlet of the buffer mechanism 9 is connected to the output pipe 4, and the output pipe 4 is provided with a liquid supply centrifugal pump 10 and a check device 11. The controller is electrically connected to the first material level detector 6, the exhaust device 8, and the liquid supply centrifugal pump 10.

[0022] Specifically, the first material level detector 6 is located in the middle of the rising side of the U-shaped bend 5 , and the height of the rising side of the U-shaped bend 5 is smaller than the height of the descending side of the U-shaped bend 5 .

[0023] Preferably, the first material level detector 6 is a tuning fork type liquid level detector. The exhaust device 8 is an exhaust valve. Of course, the exhaust device 8 can also be an exhaust device in the prior art. The buffer mechanism 9 is a serpentine structure tube (similar to a serpentine cooling tube).

[0024] In one embodiment, the check device 11 is an electrically controlled check valve, and the controller is electrically connected to the electrically controlled check valve.

[0025] In one embodiment, the check device 11 is a one-way valve.

[0026] The controller is any one of a PLC controller, a single chip microcomputer, and an industrial computer.

[0027] During the filtration production process, when the first material level detector 6 detects no material, the output signal informs the controller that exhaust is required, the controller outputs a signal to control the liquid supply centrifugal pump 10 to stop and wait, and the non-return device 11 starts working to prevent liquid backflow, and the controller also outputs a signal to control the exhaust device 8 to work for exhaust; when the first material level detector 6 detects material, the output signal informs the controller that exhaust is not required, the controller outputs a signal to control the exhaust device 8 to close and stop exhausting, and the controller outputs a signal to control the liquid supply centrifugal pump 10 to start, the non-return device 11 opens, and the liquid supply to the filtration system 3 is restored, thereby preventing gas from entering the filtration system during fermentation switching, ensuring the taste and freshness of the beer, thereby ensuring brand quality.

[0028] Embodiment 2

[0029] On the basis of the first embodiment, a second material level detector 12 is provided at the connection between the horizontal exhaust pipe 7 and the exhaust device 8, and the controller is electrically connected to the second material level detector 12. When the first material level detector 6 and the second material level detector 12 both detect material, an output signal informs the controller that exhaust is not required, which can further improve the accuracy and stability of exhaust.

[0030] The output pipe 4 between the liquid supply centrifugal pump 10 and the check device 11 is provided with a flow meter 13, and the controller is electrically connected to the flow meter 13. The rotation speed of the liquid supply centrifugal pump 10 can be controlled according to the detection data of the flow meter 13, so that the flow rate supplied to the filtering system 3 is stabilized at a set value.

[0031] The above are only preferred implementations of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the utility model, which will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
