Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wine distiller, in particular to a wine distiller which is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] A distiller is a device that uses distillation to make or purify alcohol. Its working principle is to use the fact that the boiling point of alcohol is lower than that of water, to generate alcohol vapor by heating the fermented mash, and then to convert the vapor into liquid alcohol by cooling, thereby separating and purifying alcohol from other components.

[0003] A general wine distiller includes a heat source, a distillation pot, a pot cover and a condenser. The heat source heats the distillation pot. The water in the distillation pot absorbs the heat and generates steam. The high-temperature steam then heats the mash at the top of the distillation pot to generate wine vapor. Finally, it is condensed and separated through the condenser, so that the water and wine are separated and converted into liquids respectively.

[0004] In the prior art, a wine distiller which is easy to clean is disclosed, in which a steam pipe is replaced by a steam inlet pipe, a tapered pipe joint, a tapered pipe joint sleeve, a steam distribution pipe and a longitudinal steam distribution pipe. The steam distribution pipe is arranged as a detachable structure, and the steam distribution pipe is taken out for cleaning to avoid clogging of the steam distribution holes, so as to achieve the effect of easy cleaning. However, since the steam distribution pipe is often disassembled, it is easy to cause its sealing performance to be poor. At the same time, the steam distribution pipe is placed at the bottom of the boiler drum, which is easily affected by impurities in the mash, clogging the steam outlet holes and affecting the steam outlet effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a wine distiller that is easy to clean, thereby solving the above-mentioned traditional problems.

[0006] The utility model is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A wine distiller that is easy to clean comprises a distillation pot, a combustion chamber placed in the distillation pot, a circumferential flue connected to the combustion chamber, and a waste heat recovery flue connected to the circumferential flue, wherein the combustion chamber is located at the bottom of the distillation pot, an annular groove is provided between the combustion chamber and the circumferential flue, and the waste heat recovery flue is located at the bottom of the annular groove.

[0008] Preferably, the distillation pot includes a first heating surface, a second heating surface, a third heating surface, a fourth heating surface and a fifth heating surface connected in sequence, the first heating surface, the second heating surface and the bottom surface of the distillation pot form the combustion chamber, the second heating surface, the third heating surface and the fourth heating surface form the annular groove, and the fourth heating surface, the fifth heating surface and the side wall of the distillation pot form the circumferential flue.

[0009] Preferably, the first heating surface has a structure with high sides and low middle.

[0010] Preferably, the first heating surface is a concave structure, and the ratio of the concave depth of the first heating surface to the height of the combustion chamber is (0.05-0.3):1.

[0011] Preferably, the second heating surface is in a ring-shaped structure inclined from bottom to top.

[0012] Preferably, the angle formed by the second heating surface and the third heating surface is 60°-90°.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of first spoiler blocks and second spoiler blocks are arranged in the circumferential flue, and each of the first spoiler blocks and each of the second spoiler blocks are arranged in a staggered manner to form a circumferential flue gas flow channel.

[0014] Preferably, the ratio of the width of the circumferential flue to the maximum diameter of the combustion chamber is (0.05-0.2):1.

[0015] Preferably, the waste heat recovery flue is arranged in a circular shape.

[0016] Preferably, a plurality of third spoiler blocks and fourth spoiler blocks are arranged in the waste heat recovery flue, and each of the third spoiler blocks and each of the fourth spoiler blocks are staggered to form a waste heat flue gas flow channel.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. The wine distiller of the utility model forms an annular groove through the cooperation of the combustion chamber and the circumferential flue, which is convenient for collecting the mash dropped from above and makes subsequent cleaning convenient. At the same time, through the cooperation of the combustion chamber, the circumferential flue and the waste heat recovery flue and other structures, the residence time of the flue gas in the flue can be greatly prolonged to improve the thermal efficiency.

[0019] 2. The wine distiller of the utility model adopts an upper and lower flue structure, the upper flue is connected to the combustion chamber, and the lower flue is connected to the smoke exhaust port, so that the condensed water in the smoke can flow along the flow of the smoke, gradually flow from the top to the bottom, and then flow out from the smoke outlet, thereby avoiding the problem of flue blockage caused by the generation of condensed water.

[0020] 3. In the wine distiller of the utility model, the high-temperature flue gas is centered on the combustion chamber and gradually diffuses to both sides through the action of the circumferential flue. The residence time of the flue gas is prolonged through the action of the spoiler blocks. Then, through the action of the waste heat recovery flue, the flue gas is made to flow in a circuitous manner through the action of each spoiler block, thereby cooperating with the action of the upper combustion chamber and the circumferential flue to keep the water temperature at the bottom of the distillation pot at a relatively high temperature, which is convenient for heating the water again to form high-temperature steam. In addition, the flow direction of the flue gas in the waste heat recovery flue forms a counterflow to the flow direction of the flue gas in the main flue, which is convenient for enhancing the heat transfer effect between the flue gas and water.

[0029] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , which is an easy-to-clean wine distiller of a preferred embodiment of the utility model, is used to generate high-temperature steam and then heat the fermented grains placed on the upper part thereof. Specifically, the wine distiller comprises a distiller 10, a combustion chamber 20 placed in the distiller 10, a circumferential flue 30 connected to the combustion chamber 20, and a waste heat recovery flue 40 connected to the circumferential flue 30. The combustion chamber 20 is located at the bottom of the distiller 10 (preferably, the combustion chamber 20 is located at the central position of the bottom of the distiller 10), and is used to place the combustion chamber 20 in a water environment to directly heat the softened water in the distiller 10 to improve the heat transfer effect. An annular groove 50 is provided between the combustion chamber 20 and the circumferential flue 30, and the waste heat recovery flue 40 is located at the bottom of the annular groove 50. Such a configuration is convenient for collecting the fermented grains dropped from above, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning, and can also recover the waste heat of the flue gas during the heating process to improve the thermal efficiency. Optionally, the bottom of the combustion chamber 20 is provided with an opening for placing a low-nitrogen burner, and gas or oil is introduced as fuel to generate high-temperature flue gas after ignition, and combustion air is introduced from a certain height outdoors. The bottom of the distillation pot 10 is provided with at least one sewage outlet, which is connected to the annular groove 50 and is used for subsequent sewage discharge when the distillation pot 10 is cleaned. A control valve is provided on the sewage outlet to control the switch of sewage discharge.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, the four sides of the distillation pot 10, the bottom of the combustion chamber 20 and the bottom of the waste heat recovery flue 40 are uniformly provided with an insulation layer, such as aluminum silicate wool or other insulation materials, with a thickness of 60mm-120mm, such as 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, and most preferably, the thickness is 80mm. A water replenishment port is provided on the side of the distillation pot 10 for replenishing water therewith. In one embodiment, the distillation pot 10 includes a first heating surface 11, a second heating surface 12, a third heating surface 13, a fourth heating surface 14 and a fifth heating surface 15 connected in sequence. The first heating surface 11, the second heating surface 12 and the bottom surface of the distillation pot 10 form the combustion chamber 20, the second heating surface 12, the third heating surface 13 and the fourth heating surface 14 form the annular groove 50, and the fourth heating surface 14, the fifth heating surface 15 and the side wall of the distillation pot 10 form the circumferential flue 30, wherein the first heating surface 11 is roughly high on both sides and low in the middle, which facilitates the diffusion of high-temperature flue gas in the middle and achieves uniform heating. Preferably, in the longitudinal section, the first heating surface 11 is a concave structure, and the ratio of the concave depth of the first heating surface 11 to the height of the combustion chamber 20 is (0.05-0.3):1, such as 0.05:1, 0.1:1, 0.15:1, 0.2:1, 0.25:1, 0.3:1, etc. The second heating surface 12 is roughly annular in structure, and in the longitudinal section, the second heating surface 12 is inclined from bottom to top, so as to expand the heat transfer space at the top of the combustion chamber 20 and improve the heat transfer effect. The angle formed by the second heating surface 12 and the third heating surface 13 is 60°-90°, such as 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, etc. A first flue gas communication port is provided at the middle and lower end of the second heating surface 12, and the first flue gas communication port is connected to the circumferential flue 30.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the circumferential flue 30 is arranged on the inner wall of the distillation pot 10, and the circle formed by the circumferential flue 30 and the circle formed by the combustion chamber 20 are on the same center, so that the high-temperature flue gas from the combustion chamber 20 surrounds the water in the annular groove 50 and transfers heat with the water in the distillation pot 10 again to improve thermal efficiency. The circumferential flue 30 is provided with a second flue gas connection port away from the first flue gas connection port, and the second flue gas connection port is connected to the waste heat recovery flue 40 for guiding the flue gas into the waste heat recovery flue 40. Figure 3As shown in the expanded view, a plurality of first spoiler blocks 31 and second spoiler blocks 32 are arranged in the circumferential flue 30, and each first spoiler block 31 and each second spoiler block 32 are arranged in a staggered manner to form a circumferential flue gas flow channel, so as to extend the residence time of the flue gas in the circumferential flue 30. In one embodiment, the ratio of the width of the circumferential flue 30 to the maximum diameter of the combustion chamber 20 is (0.05-0.2):1, such as 0.05:1, 0.06:1, 0.07:1, 0.08:1, 0.09:1, 0.1:1, 0.11:1, 0.12:1, 0.13:1, 0.14:1, 0.15:1, 0.16:1, 0.17:1, 0.18:1, 0.19:1, 0.2:1, etc.

[0032] For example Figure 4 As shown, the waste heat recovery flue 40 is roughly arranged in a circular ring shape, and the circle formed by the circumferential flue 30 and the circle formed by the combustion chamber 20 are on the same center, which is used to heat the water in the annular groove 50, so that the hot water can flow from bottom to top after preheating, and then exchange heat with the circumferential flue 30 and the combustion chamber 20, so that the waste heat of the flue gas can be further utilized. At the same time, since the waste heat recovery flue 40 is placed at the lower end of the circumferential flue 30 and the combustion chamber 20, the residence time of the flue gas in the distillation pot 10 can be greatly extended. In one embodiment, a plurality of third spoiler blocks 41 and fourth spoiler blocks 42 are arranged in the waste heat recovery flue 40, and each third spoiler block 41 and each fourth spoiler block 42 are staggered to form a waste heat flue gas flow channel, and a smoke exhaust port is provided in the waste heat recovery flue 40 away from the second smoke connecting port for exhausting the smoke. Optionally, the ratio of the width of the waste heat recovery flue 40 to the minimum diameter of the combustion chamber 20 is (0.1-0.3):1, such as 0.1:1, 0.2:1, 0.3:1, etc.

[0033] In other embodiments, a receiving chamber 16 is further provided on the outside of the distillation pot 10, and the receiving chamber 16 is used to receive a pot cover, and a ventilation plate is provided at the bottom of the pot cover, and the fermented grains are placed on the ventilation plate, and then placed on the distillation pot 10, so that the steam heats the fermented grains. The ventilation plate is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, and the ventilation holes are evenly distributed, and a sealing arrangement is provided between the pot cover and the receiving chamber 16, such as a labyrinth seal or a sealing ring.

[0034] In the above embodiments, the distillation pot 10, the combustion chamber 20, the circumferential flue 30, and the waste heat recovery flue 40 are all made of stainless steel or other high temperature resistant materials. During operation, the water level is added to a position slightly submerging the highest position of the combustion chamber 20 and / or the circumferential flue 30, or slightly lower than the highest position of the combustion chamber 20 and / or the circumferential flue 30, so that steam can be generated quickly. When the distillation pot 10 needs to be cleaned, water is poured from the distillation pot 10 and then discharged through the drain port.

[0035] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
