[0022] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0023] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or apparatuses.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 The micro saccharification and brewing integrated machine shown includes a frame 1 welded by square tubes, a control box 3 and a distribution box 4 are fixedly connected to the frame 1, the control box 3 has the functions of signal acquisition and electronic control, the distribution box 4 is connected to the industrial power supply, the control box 3 is electrically connected to the distribution box 4, the distribution box 4 supplies power to the control box 3 after voltage transformation and frequency modulation, the control box 3 and the distribution box 4 are far away from each other, reducing the influence of the electromagnetic field generated by the distribution box 4 when working on the control box 3, and a plurality of universal wheels 2 are also provided at the bottom of the frame 1, all of which are distributed at the bottom of the frame 1, and the wheel frame of the universal wheel 2 is fixedly connected to the square tube at the bottom of the frame 1, so that the frame 1 can be easily moved on the ground, and the entire integrated equipment can be transferred conveniently.
[0025] The frame 1 is provided with a saccharification tank 5, a filtering tank 6, a boiling and cooling integrated tank 7, a fermentation tank and an infusion pump 10. The saccharification tank 5 is provided with a stirring mechanism for fully mixing the crushed malt with water. The filtering tank 6 is provided with a multi-layer filtering mechanism for intercepting insoluble impurities in the solution. The boiling and cooling integrated tank 7 is provided with an electric heating mechanism for heating the incoming wort and killing microorganisms in the wort. Yeast is added to the fermentation tank to convert the sugar in the wort into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The infusion pump 10 is electric and is used to transfer liquid from one tank to another to realize automatic control.
[0026] Specifically, the saccharification tank 5 is connected to the filter tank 6 through the pipeline 101, the filter tank 6 is connected to the boiling and cooling integrated tank 7 through the pipeline 101, and the boiling and cooling integrated tank 7 is connected to the fermentation tube through the pipeline 101. The above connection methods are that the output end of the upper tank body is connected to the input end of the next tank body. It should be noted that the fermentation tank is usually divided into a primary fermentation tank 8 and a secondary fermentation tank 9. The input end of the primary fermentation tank 8 is connected to the output end of the boiling and cooling integrated tank 7 through the pipeline 101, and the output end of the primary fermentation tank 8 is connected to the output end of the secondary fermentation tank 9 through the pipeline 101. The input end is connected, and the infusion pump 10 transfers the liquid between different tanks by pushing the liquid in the pipeline 101. This transfer is generally one-way. An infusion pump 10 is installed between the tanks that have a connecting relationship, and a valve body 102 is installed on the pipeline 101 connected to the output end of the saccharification tank 5, the filtration tank 6, the boiling and cooling integrated tank 7, the primary fermentation tank 8 and the secondary fermentation tank 9. The valve body 102 is usually electrically controlled and electrically connected to the control box 3 to realize automatic control. Of course, manual control can also be used, and the operation requires more human participation.
[0027] A flow meter 601 is provided on the pipe 101 connected to the input end of the filter tank 6 for detecting the flow rate of the suspension entering the filter tank 6. The flow meter 601 is electronic and electrically connected to the control box 3. When the liquid enters too quickly, liquid will accumulate in the filter tank 6, affecting the filtration efficiency. The control box 3 will reduce the power of the infusion pump 10 to keep the liquid level in the filter tank 6 within a suitable range. An openable manual hatch 602 is provided on the side wall of the filter tank 6. When no liquid flows into the filter tank 6, the manual hatch 602 can be opened to clean the residue in the filter tank 6 or replace a new filter plate, which can reduce the maintenance difficulty of the filter tank 6. Under normal circumstances, the manual hatch 602 is in a normally closed state. A barometer 801 is provided on the top of the fermentation tank for detection. Measure the air pressure change in the fermentation tank during the fermentation process. Of course, a safety valve structure will be set on the top of the fermentation tank, which is a conventional setting and will not be repeated here. The pressure gauge 801 is also electronic and electrically connected to the control box 3. When the air pressure in the fermentation tank is too high, in addition to the final guarantee of the safety valve, the control box 3 can also control the electric control valve to actively exhaust the air to restore the air pressure in the fermentation tank to an appropriate range. A sampling faucet 802 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fermentation tank to facilitate the removal of a small amount of sample liquid for fermentation degree detection. The sampling faucet 802 is located at the equal division of the maximum liquid storage height and the minimum liquid storage height of the fermentation tank. In this way, it can be ensured with a high probability that the sampling faucet 802 is below the liquid level. At the same time, when the sampling faucet 802 is opened, the hydraulic pressure will not be too large to spray downward.
[0028] Working principle: Pour the crushed malt into the saccharification tank 5 and mix it with water. The enzyme in the malt decomposes the starch into sugar. After the starch in the saccharification tank 5 is completely consumed, open the valve at the discharge end of the saccharification tank 5, and the suspension is pumped into the filter tank 6 driven by the infusion pump 10 to separate the malt residue from the wort. The clear wort enters the boiling and cooling integrated tank 7 for heating and sterilization, and hops are added at the same time. After cooling to a suitable temperature, it enters the primary fermentation tank 8, and yeast is added to decompose the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Finally, it enters the secondary fermentation tank 9 for secondary fermentation and maturation, and then the final filtration and filling can be carried out.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and the specification only describe the principles of the present application.
