Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of beer production, and in particular to a beer fermentation external circulation timing stirring device. Background Art
[0002] The beer fermentation process is one of the key steps in brewing beer. Its main purpose is to convert the sugar in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide through the action of microorganisms. Most of the existing beer fermentation is only done before the fermentation begins. The operator adds yeast to the wort and allows the wort to ferment naturally in the fermentation tank. However, this will cause uneven mixing between the wort and yeast, resulting in insufficient decomposition of sugars and accumulation of more sediment at the bottom of the tank, which will affect the clarity of the beer and even cause pipe blockage in the later brewing process, thereby affecting alcohol production and fermentation efficiency.

[0042] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 A beer fermentation external circulation timing stirring device comprises a fermentation tank 1, a control console 2, a melting pump component 3 and a material turning component 4, wherein the control console 2 is located at one side of the fermentation tank 1, and the melting pump component 3 is arranged on the control console 2;
[0043] The fusion pump component 3 has a delivery hose 31 and a pump head 32. The fermenter 1 is provided with a discharge interface 11 and a feed interface 12. The discharge interface 11 and the feed interface 12 are respectively located at the bottom and the top of the fermenter 1, and are both connected to the inside of the fermenter 1. The discharge interface 11 is connected to a discharge pipeline 111, and the feed interface 12 is connected to a feed pipeline 121. Both ends of the delivery hose 31 are respectively connected to the feed pipeline 121 and the discharge pipeline 111. The pump head 32 is used to contact the delivery hose 31. One end of the pump head 32 is provided with a motor to provide power for the rotation of the pump head 32. When the pump head 32 rotates, it squeezes the delivery hose 31 and intercepts the delivery hose 31. When the pump head 32 releases the squeezing of the delivery hose 31, the elastic delivery hose 31 returns to its natural state. At this time, negative pressure is formed in the tube, thereby adsorbing the liquid into the delivery hose 31, and reciprocating operation is performed to realize the delivery of the liquid by the delivery hose 31.
[0044] By interconnecting the delivery hose 31, the feed pipeline 121 and the discharge pipeline 111, a circulation flow area for liquid flow is formed between the interior of the fermentation tank 1 and the delivery hose 31;
[0045] The turning component 4 includes a driver 41 and a stirring rod 42. The driver 41 is located at the top of the fermentation tank 1. The stirring rod 42 is located inside the fermentation tank 1 and is connected to the driver 41 for stirring the wort in the fermentation tank 1. The driver 41 is a servo drive motor in the prior art and is connected to the stirring rod 42 through a coupling to provide power for the rotation of the stirring rod 42.
[0046] Based on the above structure, the wort to be fermented is poured into the fermentation tank 1 and yeast is added for fermentation. Since the stirring rod 42 in the turning component 4 is located in the fermentation tank 1, the stirring rod 42 is driven by the driver 41 to rotate, so that the stirring rod 42 drives the wort to flow, so that the wort and the yeast can be fully mixed. In addition, since the fermentation tank 1 is provided with a discharge interface 11 and a feed interface 12 at both ends, and the discharge pipeline 111 and the feed pipeline 121 are respectively connected to the two ends of the delivery hose 31 in the melting pump component 3, the wort in the fermentation tank 1 can be delivered to the delivery hose 31 through the discharge pipeline 111. The wort is then conveyed to the discharge pipe 111 by the conveying hose 31, so that the wort enters the fermentation tank 1 from the feed interface 12, thereby completing the external circulation of the wort. The circulating flow of the wort helps to ensure that the sugar, yeast and other components in the fermentation liquid are evenly distributed, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency, which may shorten the fermentation cycle, and the circulating flow can prevent yeast and other solid matter from settling at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, thereby maintaining the clarity of the fermented wort. Through the cooperation of the fusion pump component 3 and the turning component 4, the wort can be circulated and stirred during the fermentation process, thereby improving the fermentation efficiency and reducing the generation of sediment at the bottom of the tank.
[0047] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , further comprising a controller 5, the controller 5 being arranged on the console 2 through a bracket, the controller 5 being a relay or a logic control circuit, the controller 5 being connected to the driver 41, and being able to start the driver 41 at a fixed time, thereby achieving a timed stirring effect;
[0048] An electromagnetic control component 6 is installed on the discharge pipeline 111, and the electromagnetic control component 6 is electrically connected to the controller 5. A flow monitoring component 7 is provided on the feed pipeline 121, and the flow monitoring component 7 is electrically connected to the controller 5. The controller 5 is connected to the electromagnetic control component 6 and the flow monitoring component 7, and the opening of the electromagnetic control component 6 can be controlled by the controller 5. The electromagnetic control component 6 is a solenoid valve in the prior art. The opening and closing of the electromagnetic control component 6 determines whether the wort in the fermentation tank 1 can flow into the delivery hose 31, and the flow monitoring component 7 is a flow meter for detecting the flow of wort, so that the operator can adjust the flow.
[0049] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4An opening 13 is provided in the fermentation tank 1, and a temperature monitoring component 8 is installed in the opening 13. When the installation is completed, the monitoring end of the temperature monitoring component 8 faces the inside of the fermentation tank 1. The temperature monitoring component 8 is a temperature sensor. The temperature monitoring component 8 enables the operator to observe the temperature in the fermentation tank 1 in real time, which helps to accurately control the temperature during the fermentation process.
[0050] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , and also includes a host computer 9, which is communicatively connected with the flow monitoring component 7 and the temperature monitoring component 8. The host computer 9 can feed back the data monitored by the flow monitoring component 7 and the temperature monitoring component 8 in real time, thereby optimizing the fermentation of wort.
