[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0032] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present utility model is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model to be protected, but merely represents some embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present utility model and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0034] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0035] As Figures 1-6 shown, this embodiment provides a malt cleaning device for beer production, including a tank body 1, a cleaning mechanism 2 for cleaning malt is arranged inside the tank body 1, and a positioning component 3 is arranged outside the cleaning mechanism 2;

[0036] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a water inlet pipe 201, a feeding frame 202, a convex groove 203, a plug board 204, a convex rod 205, a first filter screen 206, a lug 207, a motor 208, a screw conveyor 209, a drain pipe 210, a collecting pipe 211, a first ball valve 212 and a second filter screen 213. The water inlet pipe 201 is communicatively arranged at the top of the tank body 1. The feeding frame 202 is communicatively arranged at the top of the tank body 1. The convex groove 203 is opened at the top of the feeding frame 202. The plug board 204 is slidably connected to the inside of the convex groove 203. The convex rod 205 is welded to the side wall of the plug board 204. The first filter screen 206 is arranged inside the feeding frame 202. The lug 207 is bolted to the side wall of the first filter screen 206. The motor 208 is bolted to the side wall of the tank body 1. The screw conveyor 209 is coaxially arranged at the output end of the motor 208. The drain pipe 210 is communicatively arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1. The collecting pipe 211 is threadedly connected to the outside of the drain pipe 210. The first ball valve 212 is arranged outside the collecting pipe 211. The second filter screen 213 is arranged inside the collecting pipe 211. The screw conveyor 209 is located inside the tank body 1. The communication port between the water inlet pipe 201 and the tank body 1 communicates with one end of the screw conveyor 209 axially. The communication port between the feeding frame 202 and the tank body 1 communicates with the other end of the screw conveyor 209 axially. When in use, the malt is placed on the first filter screen 206. At this time, the solid particles in the malt can be filtered. Then the malt drops into the inside of the tank body 1. Then the external water pipe is introduced into the inside of the tank body 1 through the water inlet pipe 201. Then the motor 208 is started, and the screw conveyor 209 can be rotated, thereby cleaning the malt.

[0037] Considering the lack of fixation of the first filter screen 206, the positioning assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 301, a screw 302 and a threaded groove 303. The connecting plate 301 is welded to the side wall of the plug board 204. The screw 302 is threadedly connected to the inside of the connecting plate 301. The threaded groove 303 is opened on the side wall of the feeding frame 202. The screw 302 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 303. When in use, the screw 302 is screwed into the inside of the connecting plate 301 and the threaded groove 303 in sequence, so that the position of the plug board 204 is fixed. Then the plug board 204 will press the lug 207, and the fixation of the lug 207 can be realized, and the fixation of the first filter screen 206 can also be realized.

[0038] Considering that there is a lack of support at both axial ends when the cylindrical tank body 1 is placed horizontally, an arc-shaped plate 4 is welded on the side wall of the tank body 1. A support leg 5 is bolted to the side wall of the arc-shaped plate 4. The number of the arc-shaped plate 4 and the support leg 5 is four each and they are evenly distributed. When in use, the support leg 5 can prevent the tank body 1 from shaking and falling down, thereby enhancing the stability of the tank body 1.

[0039] Considering blockage during drainage, a spare pipe 6 is connected to the side wall of the tank body 1. A second ball valve 7 is arranged outside the spare pipe 6. A barrier net 8 is bolted to the inner wall of the tank body 1. The barrier net 8 is located on one side of the spare pipe 6. When water is discharged from the drain pipe 210, it may be blocked by malt. At this time, the second ball valve 7 is opened so that water can be discharged from the spare pipe 6.

[0040] Considering the inconvenience of rotating the collection pipe 211, a handle 9 is bolted to the side wall of the collection pipe 211. A soft pad 10 is adhered to the outer wall of the tank body 1. The top of the collection pipe 211 is in close contact with the bottom of the soft pad 10. The number of handles 9 is two and they are symmetrically arranged. When it is necessary to collect the malt after cleaning, the collection pipe 211 can be easily unscrewed through the handle 9, and then the malt can be collected.

[0041] Considering the inconvenience of observing the cleaning situation inside the tank body 1, an observation groove 11 is opened on the outer wall of the tank body 1. A transparent glass plate 12 for observing the inside of the tank body 1 is arranged inside the observation groove 11. During use, the cleaning progress of the malt inside the tank body 1 can be understood through the transparent glass plate 12.

[0042] Considering the poor filtering effect of the first filter screen 206, a vibration motor 13 is bolted to the bottom of the first filter screen 206. A waterproof shell 14 is bolted to the bottom of the first filter screen 206. The vibration motor 13 is located inside the waterproof shell 14. Through the operation of the vibration motor 13, the filtering effect of the first filter screen 206 can be greatly improved.

[0043] Specifically, when the malt cleaning device for beer production is in use: The user places the malt on top of the first filter screen 206, then connects both the vibration motor 13 and the motor 208 to an external power source, and then starts the vibration motor 13. The operation of the vibration motor 13 can greatly improve the filtering effect of the first filter screen 206. Then the malt drops into the interior of the tank body 1. Then, an external water pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe 201 to inject water into the interior of the tank body 1. At this time, the user can observe the water level through the transparent glass plate 12. When the water reaches the amount recognized by the user, stop injecting water. Then start the motor 208. The motor 208 drives the auger 209 to rotate. When the auger 209 is used in combination with water, through its rotation and stirring actions, it can help remove the dirt attached to the surface of the malt, thus achieving a cleaning effect. After the cleaning is completed, the user opens the first ball valve 212 and the second ball valve 7 to quickly drain the water. Then the malt will be carried by the water flow into the interior of the collection pipe 211. When the water is drained, quickly unscrew the collection pipe 211 by the handle 9. At this time, the malt will be blocked inside the collection pipe 211 by the second filter screen 213. After the collection pipe 211 is unscrewed, the malt can be poured out. When it is necessary to clean the first filter screen 206, unscrew the screw 302, and then lift the insertion plate 204 upward so that the insertion plate 204 loses the limit on the lug 207. Then the first filter screen 206 can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0044] All the technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0045] The above embodiment is a preferred implementation scheme of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the technical solution is within the protection scope of the present invention.
