Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wine-making equipment, and more specifically, to a koji-making table and a koji-making rack for wine-making. Background Art

[0002] At present, the koji making process of brewing is generally carried out on a koji making rack. The koji making rack has the advantages of saving space and better controlling the speed and amplitude of koji heating. The use of a koji making rack can effectively control and overcome the generation of medium-temperature koji fire rings (Maillard reaction).

[0003] The existing koji making racks, one type of which combines racks with bamboo blocks (wooden boards) and sacks, solves the problem of large space occupied by traditional ground koji, but still needs to be turned over, which does not reduce the workload and labor intensity of operators during the koji making process. Another type supports koji bricks through stainless steel mesh, strip-hole stainless steel plates, and round-hole stainless steel plates, and uses positioning grooves to stabilize the koji bricks, so that the koji bricks do not deform or fall during the fermentation process, and there is no need to turn over the koji during the cultivation process, which reduces the workload and labor intensity of operators during the koji making process. However, since the lower end of the koji brick is a stainless steel mesh, it directly exchanges oxygen with the environment, and the buffering effect of the fermentation water of the koji brick is greatly affected. If a strip-hole stainless steel plate or a round-hole stainless steel plate is used as a support below, and a sack is laid on it, this method still has the problem of poor oxygen exchange with the environment. If the koji is not turned over during the fermentation process, there will also be problems affecting the fermentation and cultivation quality of the koji brick. If a circular tube is used as a bracket to support the koji brick, due to the small support surface of the circular tube, the pressure on the koji brick is large, and the bottom of the koji brick is prone to deformation, which affects the quality of the finished koji brick.

The cross-section of the support rods is an elliptical structure, and the length ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the elliptical cross-section of the support rods is 2-3:1; a water control layer is laid on the plurality of support rods.

[0006] In the above implementation process, the present application adopts a support rod with an elliptical cross-section structure with a suitable length ratio of the major axis to the minor axis, so that the contact area with the curved brick will not be too small, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the curved brick due to the small contact area with the curved brick, thereby causing the curved brick to deform; and the contact area with the curved brick will not be too large, and a certain gap will be generated between the arc surface of the elliptical surface and the bottom surface of the curved brick, which can ensure that a sufficient amount of oxygen is in contact with the bottom surface of the curved brick, and the exchange demand between the bottom surface of the curved brick and oxygen is guaranteed to the greatest extent, and the fermentation efficiency of the bottom surface of the curved brick is guaranteed; at the same time, in conjunction with the water control layer, the water flow speed of the bottom surface of the curved brick can be controlled to ensure that the water flow speed of the bottom and top surfaces of the curved brick is basically consistent, and the quality of the finished curved brick can also be guaranteed without turning the curved brick.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the water control layer is made of plant fiber material, and the thickness of the water control layer is not less than 2 mm.

[0008] The present application adopts a water control layer made of plant fiber material, which is more conducive to absorbing moisture on the bottom surface of the curved brick or providing moisture to the bottom surface of the curved brick. With appropriate thickness, the water flow speed on the bottom and top surfaces of the curved brick can be controlled to remain basically consistent.

[0009] In a possible implementation, a plurality of support rods are arranged at equal intervals, the distance between every two support rods is A, and 1 / 3 of the length of the curved brick ≤ A < 1 / 2 of the length of the curved brick.

[0010] The present application sets a suitable distance between the two support rods, which not only ensures that the curved brick can be stably supported, but also allows the bottom surface of the curved brick to have as large an area as possible in contact with the air, so as to ensure the fermentation efficiency of the bottom surface of the curved brick.

[0011] In a possible implementation, a limit rod is further connected between the two connecting columns, and the distance between the limit rod and the connecting beam is not less than 2 / 3 of the height of the curved brick.

[0012] The present application provides a limit rod of appropriate height to block and protect the bent bricks, thereby preventing the bent bricks from deforming and falling; at the same time, the limit rod can have a certain stabilizing effect on the connecting column, thereby preventing the connecting column from deforming.

[0013] In a possible implementation, at least two load-bearing rods are connected between the other two connecting beams, and the load-bearing rods intersect with the support rods and are arranged at the bottom of the support rods.

[0015] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a koji-making rack for winemaking, comprising a plurality of koji-making tables for winemaking as provided in the first aspect, wherein the plurality of koji-making tables for winemaking are longitudinally connected.

[0016] The present application adopts a plurality of koji-making tables for winemaking which are connected together longitudinally to form a koji-making rack, so that koji can be made in batches together, the koji-making efficiency is high, and the overall space occupied is small.

[0017] In a possible implementation, a plurality of koji-making tables for brewing wine are connected by a connector, and the connector includes a positioning pin and a positioning groove, wherein the positioning pin is connected to the bottom of a connecting column, and the positioning groove is recessed at the top of the connecting column.

[0018] The present application adopts a connector to connect a plurality of koji-making tables for wine-making, so that the plurality of koji-making tables for wine-making can be disassembled, and the number of connections of the koji-making tables for wine-making can be set according to actual needs, which is convenient and flexible to use.

[0020] The present application provides an adaptive positioning pin and positioning groove to facilitate the stable connection between two winemaking koji-making tables. The positioning pin of the cone structure is convenient for positioning and inserting into the positioning groove of the square cross section, and after the positioning pin of the cone structure is inserted into the positioning groove of the square cross section, there is a certain gap between the top of the cone and the wall of the positioning groove of the square cross section. After long-term use, the winemaking koji-making table may have a certain degree of deformation, and the gap between the top of the cone and the wall of the positioning groove of the square cross section provides a certain space for such slight deformation, thereby avoiding the slight deformation of the winemaking koji-making table causing the inability to position and connect.

[0021] In a possible implementation, the distance between two longitudinally adjacent connecting beams is 5-10 cm greater than the height of the curved brick.

[0022] The present application sets the distance between two longitudinally adjacent connecting beams to be appropriately greater than the height of the curved bricks, which not only leaves space for taking and placing the curved bricks, but also leaves sufficient space for the curved bricks to fully contact with the air, thereby achieving a better fermentation effect.

[0037] Example

[0038] The present application intends to improve the technical problems that the existing koji making rack easily causes the koji bricks to deform, the fermentation efficiency of the bottom surface of the koji bricks is low, the water flow speed between the bottom surface and the top surface of the koji bricks is inconsistent, and the quality of the finished koji bricks is affected. A koji making table 1 for brewing wine is proposed. Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, it includes four connecting columns 11 and four connecting beams 12, one connecting beam 12 is connected between two connecting columns 11, and a number of support rods 13 are connected between the two connecting beams 12. The cross-section of the support rod 13 is an elliptical structure, and the length ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the elliptical cross-section of the support rod 13 is 2-3:1; a water control layer 14 is laid on the several support rods 13.

[0039] In the above implementation process, the support rod 13 with an elliptical cross-section structure with a suitable length ratio of the major axis to the minor axis is adopted, so that the contact area between the support rod 13 and the curved brick will not be too small, thereby avoiding excessive pressure on the curved brick due to the small contact area with the curved brick, thereby causing deformation of the curved brick; and the contact area with the curved brick will not be too large, and a certain gap will be generated between the arc surface of the elliptical surface and the bottom surface of the curved brick, which can ensure that a sufficient amount of oxygen contacts the bottom surface of the curved brick, maximizes the exchange demand between the bottom surface of the curved brick and oxygen, and ensures the fermentation efficiency of the bottom surface of the curved brick; at the same time, in conjunction with the water control layer 14, the water flow speed of the bottom surface of the curved brick can be controlled to ensure that the water flow speeds of the bottom and top surfaces of the curved brick are basically consistent, and the quality of the finished curved brick can also be guaranteed without turning the curved brick.

[0040] As an example, the length ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the elliptical cross section of the support rod 13 may be, but is not limited to, 2:1, 2.5:1, or 3:1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the water control layer 14 is made of plant fiber material, and the thickness of the water control layer 14 is not less than 2 mm. The water control layer 14 made of plant fiber material can be used in a water-wetting or non-water-wetting manner according to actual needs to absorb moisture from the bottom surface of the curved brick or provide moisture to the bottom surface of the curved brick, and with an appropriate thickness, so as to control the water flow speed of the bottom and top surfaces of the curved brick to be basically consistent. As an example, the water control layer 14 can be, but is not limited to, sacks or cotton cloth.

[0042] Furthermore, the thickness of the water control layer 14 is 2-20 mm. As an example, the thickness of the water control layer 14 can be, but is not limited to, 2 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, and 20 mm. By setting the water control layer 14 of appropriate thickness, it is more conducive to controlling the water flow speed on the bottom surface of the curved brick.

[0043] In some embodiments, a plurality of support rods 13 are arranged at equal intervals, and the distance between every two support rods 13 is A, and 1 / 3 of the length of the curved brick ≤ A < 1 / 2 of the length of the curved brick. An appropriate spacing is set between the two support rods 13 to ensure that the curved brick can be stably supported and that the bottom surface of the curved brick has as large an area as possible in contact with the air to ensure the fermentation efficiency of the bottom surface of the curved brick. As an example, the length of the curved brick is 30 cm. The distance A between every two support rods 13 is 10-15 cm. The distance A between every two support rods 13 can be, but is not limited to, 10 cm, 11 cm, 12 cm, 13 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm.

[0044] In some embodiments, a limit rod 15 is also connected between the two connecting columns 11, and the distance between the limit rod 15 and the connecting beam 12 is not less than 2 / 3 of the height of the curved brick. Setting a limit rod 15 of appropriate height can block and protect the curved brick to prevent the curved brick from deforming and falling; at the same time, the limit rod 15 can have a certain stabilizing effect on the connecting column 11 to prevent the deformation of the connecting column 11. As an example, the height of the curved brick is 20 cm. The distance between the limit rod 15 and the connecting beam 12 is 13-18 cm. The distance between the limit rod 15 and the connecting beam 12 can be, but is not limited to, 13 cm, 14 cm, 15 cm, 16 cm, 17 cm, 18 cm.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least two load-bearing rods 16 are connected between the other two connecting beams 12, and the load-bearing rods 16 are intersected with the support rods 13 and arranged at the bottom of the support rods 13. The load-bearing rods 16 are arranged to intersect at the bottom of the support rods 13 to support the support rods 13 and prevent the support rods 13 from being deformed or broken. As an example, the cross-section of the load-bearing rods 16 is a rectangular structure. The load-bearing rods 16 with a rectangular structure have a stronger supporting force, which can meet the weight of the curved bricks on the support rods 13 and prevent the support rods 13 from being deformed or broken.

[0046] The embodiment of the present application provides a koji making rack 2 for brewing wine, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a plurality of the above-mentioned koji-making tables 1 for brewing wine, and the plurality of koji-making tables 1 for brewing wine are connected vertically.

[0047] A plurality of koji-making tables 1 for brewing are connected together longitudinally to form a koji-making rack, so that koji can be made in batches together with high koji-making efficiency. Moreover, the longitudinal stacking arrangement of the koji-making tables 1 for brewing reduces the overall occupied space.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of koji-making tables 1 for brewing are connected by a connector 21, and the connector 21 includes a positioning pin 211 and a positioning groove 212. The positioning pin 211 is connected to the bottom of the connecting column 11, and the positioning groove 212 is recessed in the top of the connecting column 11. The connector 21 is used to connect a plurality of koji-making tables 1 for brewing, so that the plurality of koji-making tables 1 for brewing can be disassembled, and the number of connected koji-making tables 1 for brewing can be set according to actual needs, which is convenient and flexible to use. Specifically, the positioning pin 211 is a cone structure, and the cross-section of the positioning groove 212 is a square. The side length of the square cross-section of the positioning groove 212 is matched with the bottom diameter of the cone of the positioning pin 211, and the depth of the positioning groove 212 is matched with the length of the positioning pin 211.

[0049] By providing an adapted positioning pin 211 and positioning groove 212, a stable connection between two winemaking koji-making tables 1 is facilitated. The positioning pin 211 of the cone structure is convenient for positioning and inserting into the positioning groove 212 of the square cross section, and after the positioning pin 211 of the cone structure is inserted into the positioning groove 212 of the square cross section, there is a certain gap between the top of the cone and the wall of the positioning groove 212 of the square cross section. After long-term use, the winemaking koji-making table 1 may have a certain degree of deformation, and the gap between the top of the cone and the wall of the positioning groove 212 of the square cross section provides a certain space for such slight deformation, thereby avoiding the slight deformation of the winemaking koji-making table 1 causing the inability to position and connect.

[0050] In some embodiments, the distance between two longitudinally adjacent connecting beams 12 is 5-10 cm greater than the height of the curved brick. The distance between two longitudinally adjacent connecting beams 12 is set to be an appropriate distance greater than the height of the curved brick, which not only leaves space for taking and placing the curved brick, but also leaves sufficient space for the curved brick to fully contact with the air, and the fermentation effect is better. As an example, the height of the curved brick is 20 cm. The distance between two longitudinally adjacent connecting beams 12 is 25-30 cm. The distance between two longitudinally adjacent connecting beams 12 can be, but is not limited to, 25 cm, 26 cm, 27 cm, 28 cm, 29 cm, 30 cm.

[0051] In some embodiments, a universal wheel with a brake is provided at the bottom of the connecting column 11 of the bottom winemaking koji table 1. A universal wheel with a brake is provided at the bottom of the connecting column 11 of the bottom winemaking koji table 1 to facilitate the movement and parking of the winemaking koji rack 2.

[0052] In some embodiments, the koji making rack 2 for brewing wine can be equipped with oxygen production, dehumidification, humidification, heating and other related devices as needed, and the koji training and cultivation can be controlled by the added devices, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency and ensuring the quality level of the finished koji bricks.

[0053] When making koji, the koji bricks to be cultured are placed on the water control layer 14 of the koji making platform 1 for brewing. According to the production process control requirements, the water control layer 14 can be moistened or not moistened; the koji bricks are arranged side by side in the same direction, and the spacing between adjacent koji bricks is adjusted according to the changes of seasons. Two rows of koji bricks are placed on each koji making platform 1 for brewing, and the spacing between the two rows of koji bricks is controlled between 5-15cm according to the process requirements according to the changes of seasons. In summer, the spacing between adjacent koji bricks and the spacing between two rows of koji bricks need to be adjusted to be larger, which is conducive to ventilation and heat dissipation to avoid excessive temperature; in winter, the spacing between adjacent koji bricks and the spacing between two rows of koji bricks need to be adjusted to be smaller, which is conducive to temperature rise to improve fermentation efficiency.

[0054] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
