Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beer manufacturing and processing, in particular to beer production, processing and fermentation equipment. Background Art

[0002] Beer needs to be fermented during the production process. The fermentation conditions, product requirements, and flavors are different, and the fermentation methods are also different. Fermentation can be divided into low fermentation, medium fermentation, high fermentation, and ultra-high fermentation. In the beer production process, the temperature needs to be controlled to adjust the yeast concentration and reduce the amount of fermentation by-products.

[0003] In the prior art, a heating block is provided to quickly adjust the temperature of the fermented liquid. However, the disadvantage is that the temperature is transmitted from the outside to the inside during the heating process, which will cause the surface temperature close to the heating block to be higher, resulting in a large local temperature difference, and ultimately resulting in inconsistent fermentation degrees of the liquid in the fermentation tank, which will affect the fermentation quality and reduce the quality of the beer produced. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a beer production and processing fermentation device, which can solve the problem of inconsistent liquid fermentation degree caused by large local temperature difference of fermented liquid and uneven heating of the fermented liquid as a whole.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The following describes the embodiments of the present disclosure through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand the advantages and effects of the present disclosure from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The present disclosure can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. Embodiment 1

[0022] A beer production and fermentation equipment, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a fermentation tank 1, and an annular pipe 2 is arranged inside the fermentation tank 1. The upper end of the annular pipe 2 passes through the upper outer wall of the fermentation tank 1, and is provided with a first pipe plug 21. The lower end of the annular pipe 2 passes through the lower outer wall of the fermentation tank 1, and is provided with a second pipe plug 22. A heating component 23 is arranged inside the annular pipe 2. The first pipe plug 21 is provided with a water inlet 211. The second pipe plug 22 is provided with a water outlet 221. The liquid in the annular pipe 2 is heated by the heating component 23, so that the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank 1 is heated by relatively gentle heat transfer. Because the specific heat capacity of the liquid is large, a relatively strong heat release phenomenon will not occur, and the rapid heating of the local fermentation liquid will avoid the overall temperature difference and uneven heating. In addition, the outer wall area of ​​the annular pipe 2 is large, thereby increasing the heating area of ​​the entire fermentation tank 1, and largely avoiding the situation of uneven heating.

[0023] Furthermore, the heating assembly 23 includes an electrical plug 231 connected to an external power source, an electrical interface 232 provided on the first pipe plug 21, and an electric heating pipe 233 provided inside the annular pipe 2. The electrical plug 231 and the electrical interface 232 are connected via a wire.

[0024] Furthermore, the first pipe plug 21 and the second pipe plug 22 are detachably mounted at both ends of the annular pipe 2. The function is to quickly replace the liquid in the annular pipe 2, facilitate pipe cleaning, and facilitate disassembly and replacement when parts are damaged.

[0025] Furthermore, if Figure 3As shown, the water inlet 211 is provided with a first valve 2111. Furthermore, the water outlet 221 is provided with a second valve 2211. The water inlet 211 and the water outlet 221 are opened at the same time to introduce cold water, so that the liquid in the annular pipe 2 can be replaced, so that the annular pipe 2 and the internal liquid can be cooled. Then, the temperature of the fermentation liquid is absorbed by heat transfer to achieve the purpose of lowering the overall temperature of the fermentation liquid.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer wall of the fermentation tank 1 is also provided with a first temperature measuring component 3 and a second temperature measuring component 4. The first temperature measuring component 3 measures the temperature inside the tank body, and the second temperature measuring component 4 measures the temperature inside the annular pipe 2. This is beneficial for the operator to adjust the fermentation condition in the pipe in real time.

[0027] Further, the first temperature measuring component 3 includes a first thermocouple 31 arranged on the inner side of the fermenter 1 and a first display 32 arranged on the outer wall of the fermenter 1, and the temperature in the fermenter 1 is measured by the first thermocouple 31. The first thermocouple 31 is electrically connected to the first display 32. Further, the second temperature measuring component 4 includes a second thermocouple 41 arranged on the inner side of the second pipe plug 22 and a second display 42 for being arranged on the outer wall of the fermenter 1, and the temperature in the annular pipe 2 is measured by the second thermocouple 41. The second thermocouple 41 is electrically connected to the second display 42. The temperature in the fermenter 1 and the temperature in the annular pipe 2 can be intuitively seen through the first display 32 and the second display 42.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] The power plug 231 is inserted into an external socket to turn on the power. The electric heating tube 233 heats the liquid in the annular pipe 2. The operator observes the first display 32 and the second display 42 to understand the temperature in the fermenter 1 and the temperature in the annular pipe 2. After the temperature in the fermenter 1 reaches the appropriate temperature in the fermentation process, the power plug 231 is pulled out to cut off the power, and the fermented liquid in the fermenter 1 is no longer heated. Since the outer wall area of ​​the annular pipe 2 is large and the specific heat capacity of the liquid inside the annular pipe 2 is large, the heat transfer is relatively slow, thereby increasing the temperature of the fermented liquid in the fermenter 1 relatively smoothly. If it is necessary to lower the temperature of the fermented liquid in the fermenter 1, the water inlet 211 and the water outlet 221 are opened, the water inlet 211 is connected to the external water pipe, cold water is introduced, the liquid in the annular pipe 2 is replaced, and its temperature is lowered. The operator observes the first display 32 and the second display 42 to understand the temperature in the fermenter 1 and the temperature in the annular pipe 2. After the temperature of the liquid in the annular pipe 2 reaches the appropriate temperature in the fermentation process, stop adding cold water, and close the water inlet 211 and the water outlet 221. After standing for a period of time, add cold water again, and stop adding cold water after the temperature in the fermentation tank 1 reaches the appropriate temperature, and close the water inlet 211 and the water outlet 221. Since the water inlet 211 and the water outlet 221 are small, the temperature of the liquid in the annular pipe 2 is easier to control, so that the temperature in the fermentation tank 1 is more gently reduced through heat transfer.

[0030] The utility model heats the liquid in the annular pipe so that the temperature of the outer wall of the annular pipe rises more gradually, thereby avoiding uneven heating of the fermentation liquid as a whole in a short period of time. The outer wall area of ​​the annular pipe is large, which increases the heating area of ​​the fermentation liquid, thereby greatly reducing the uneven heating of the fermentation liquid as a whole.
