Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for lifting and discharging floating wheat in a wheat soaking tank, belonging to the technical field of beer raw material processing. Background Art

[0002] Beer is a low-alcohol fermented wine containing carbon dioxide, made from grains and water as the main raw materials, hops (or hop products) added, and fermented by yeast. The quality of malt, the main raw material of beer, is of vital importance and is the focus of attention and requirements of breweries.

[0003] As people's living standards continue to improve, the demand for different types of beer is also increasing. The main raw material for industrial beer production is barley malt (or wheat malt), so the demand for malt is increasing, and the requirements for the quantity and quality of malt are also getting higher and higher.

[0004] The soaking process is a key step in the early stage of the malting process, which directly affects the product quality; and the process of draining the floating barley is one of the important processes of soaking barley; the soaking process is to soak and clean the barley, remove impurities such as shriveled barley and bran, and then make the selected full barley absorb water and germinate, preparing for the subsequent germination process; and the operation of removing impurities such as shriveled barley and bran is the process of draining the floating barley.

[0005] During the malt production process, it is necessary to use water in the malt soaking tank to remove the wheat straw, wheat husk, wheat leaves, etc. (collectively referred to as floating wheat) floating on the water surface.

[0006] Therefore, in order to produce qualified malt, professional malting technology and malting equipment are required; the soaking process is a key step in the early stage of the malting process, which directly affects the product quality; and the floating wheat removal process of the soaked malt is one of the important processes of the soaked malt; however, similar equipment on the market currently has the following disadvantages:

[0007] First, the equipment on the market is a fixed simple device, which can neither be operated automatically nor waste a lot of water. Second, some things that are not floating wheat will be discharged along with the floating wheat because they contain bubbles, which ultimately leads to the waste of malt and increases the cost of the enterprise. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new type of malt soaking tank lifting and floating wheat discharge device. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 5 The principles and features of the present invention are described, and the examples given are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0029] A device for lifting and discharging floating wheat in a wheat soaking tank comprises a wheat soaking tank shell 1, a wheat soaking tank shell 1 having a bottom provided with a floating wheat discharging tube 2 penetrating the wheat soaking tank shell 1, a floating wheat discharging tube 2 having an upper end slidably connected with a floating wheat discharging collecting tube 3, a side surface of the wheat soaking tank shell 1 having a water inlet connected with the floating wheat discharging collecting tube 3, a vibrating device 4 being provided between an outer wall of the floating wheat discharging collecting tube 3 and an inner wall of the wheat soaking tank shell 1.

[0030] The vibration device 4 includes a spring box 41, a spring 42, a cam 43 and an annular groove 44. The outer wall of the floating wheat collection tube 3 is provided with a spring box 41, and a spring 42 is provided inside the spring box 41. One end of the spring 42 is connected to the inner wall of the spring box 41, and the other end is connected to the cam 43 that penetrates the spring box 41. An annular groove 44 used in conjunction with the cam 43 is provided on the inner wall of the wheat soaking tank shell 1.

[0031] The number of the annular grooves 44 is several circles.

[0032] The upper end of the floating wheat collecting pipe 3 is connected to the lower end of the screw rod 5 through a connecting piece 11, a pin shaft 8 and a cotter pin 9. The screw rod 5 is connected with a lifting device 6, which is located on the top outer wall of the wheat soaking tank shell 1. The lifting device 6 can be electric or manual.

[0033] The lifting device 6 includes a driving motor, a worm, and a worm wheel. The output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the worm through a coupling. The worm is meshed with the worm wheel on the lead screw 5, and the internal thread of the worm wheel is meshed with the external thread of the lead screw 5.

[0034] The lower end of the floating wheat tube 2 is connected to the wastewater collection pipe network.

[0035] A sealing device 7 is also provided between the floating wheat tube 2 and the floating wheat collection tube 3. The sealing device 7 includes a sealing cover 71, a sealing base 72 and an O-type rubber sealing ring 73. The sealing base 72 and the floating wheat tube 2 as well as the sealing base 72 and the sealing cover 71 are fixed by hexagon socket head screws 10, and the gap between the sealing base 72 and the floating wheat tube 2 is also filled with sealant 12.

[0036] The wheat soaking tank shell 1 is in the shape of a cylinder with a cavity inside.

[0037] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

[0038] Taking advantage of the fact that floating wheat and impurities have a small specific gravity and float on the water surface, while full barley absorbs water and sinks under the water, an appropriate amount of water is injected into the wheat soaking tank to allow the floating wheat to enter the floating wheat collection pipe 3. When discharging the floating wheat, the height of the floating wheat collection pipe 3 can be adjusted to allow the floating wheat to enter the floating wheat collection pipe 3 and then enter the floating wheat pipe 2 for drainage; in this way, when adjusting the feeding amount, a flexible control of the drainage height can be performed, which can achieve automation and save water;

[0039] The output shaft of the driving motor drives the worm to rotate, and the worm drives the worm wheel to rotate. The rotation of the worm wheel causes the screw rod 5 to rise and fall. The lifting of the screw rod 5 drives the floating wheat collecting tube 3 to rise and fall. In the process of the floating wheat collecting tube 3 rising and falling, the clamping protrusion 43 moves up and down intermittently between the annular clamping groove 44, which has the effect of vibration, and finally vibrates the bubbles around the outer wall of the "floating wheat" to disappear, so that the real malt will not be discharged, and the malt will not be wasted, thereby reducing the cost of the enterprise.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
