[0046] See Figure 3 , the traditional white liquor distillation equipment mainly includes a distillation device 1, a condensation device 2, and a liquid storage device 3. The distillation device 1 is communicated with the condensation device 2 through a steam pipe 4, and the condensation device 2 is communicated with the liquid storage device 3 through a condensate outlet pipe 5. Its working principle is: the fermented liquid is heated in the distillation device 1 to evaporate alcohol to form liquor vapor. The liquor vapor enters the condensation device 2 through the steam pipe 4 and is condensed into liquid white liquor. The liquid white liquor enters the liquid storage device 3 through the condensate outlet pipe 5 for storage. This traditional white liquor distillation equipment mainly extracts substances with different boiling points by controlling the distillation time, but this method cannot control the extraction ratio of flavor substances, resulting in unstable white liquor flavor and thus affecting the final quality of white liquor.

[0047] To solve the above problems, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the embodiments of the present application provide a distillation and aroma-smelling device 6 and a distillation and extraction system having the distillation and aroma-smelling device 6. By arranging the distillation and aroma-smelling device 6, operators can monitor the aroma change during the white liquor distillation process, more precisely control the extraction of flavor substances, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of white liquor flavor, and further contributing to ensuring the quality of each batch of white liquor.

[0048] See Figure 1 , a distillation and aroma-smelling device 6 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes an outer cylinder 61 with openings at both upper and lower ends. A liquid collector 62 is arranged inside the outer cylinder 61. The top of the liquid collector 62 has a first opening 621. The edge of the first opening 621 is sealingly connected to the inner surface of the outer cylinder 61. The bottom of the liquid collector 62 is provided with a second opening 622, and a second valve 63 is arranged at the second opening 622. A smelling pipe 64 communicated with the inner cavity of the liquid collector 62 is arranged on the liquid collector 62. One end of the smelling pipe 64 passes through the outer cylinder 61 and extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 61.

[0049] See Figure 1, the outer cylinder 61 is a cylindrical structure with openings at both the upper and lower ends. Its cross-sectional shape can be circular, rectangular, or square. The outer cylinder 61 is used to be hermetically connected between the condensate outlet pipe 5 and the liquid storage device 3 during the white liquor distillation process. The liquid collector 62 is used to collect the condensed liquid white liquor. The edge of the first opening 621 at the top of the liquid collector 62 is hermetically connected to the inner surface of the outer cylinder 61, not only making the upper opening of the outer cylinder 61 communicate with the first opening 621, but also fixing the liquid collector 62 inside the outer cylinder 61. To improve the firmness and reliability of the connection between the liquid collector 62 and the outer cylinder 61, the liquid collector 62 and the outer cylinder 61 are also connected by a connecting rod 66. Among them, the connecting rod 66 can be one, two, or more than two. A second opening 622 for draining the white liquor inside it is provided at the bottom of the liquid collector 62, and a second valve 63 is provided at the second opening 622. The second valve 63 is used to open and close the second opening 622. One end of the aroma smelling tube 64 communicates with the inner cavity of the liquid collector 62, and the other end of the aroma smelling tube 64 passes through the outer cylinder 61 and extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 61 to form an aroma smelling port; during the white liquor distillation process, the operator can smell the liquid white liquor collected in the liquid collector 62 through the aroma smelling port of the aroma smelling tube 64, and then record the characteristics of the white liquor collected in the liquid collector 62, so as to facilitate packing the white liquor with the same aroma together later, thus ensuring the stability and consistency of the white liquor flavor. After the aroma smelling is completed, the aroma smelling port can be plugged with a rubber stopper.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , an aroma smelling cover 65 is connected to the end of the aroma smelling tube 64 located outside the outer cylinder 61. By providing the aroma smelling cover 65, it is used to cover the operator's mouth and nose during aroma smelling, thereby concentrating the aroma of the white liquor and preventing the aroma from quickly dissipating in the air, so that the operator can more clearly feel the aroma of the white liquor. At the same time, it can also reduce the interference of other odors in the surrounding environment, enabling the operator to more accurately identify and evaluate the aroma of the white liquor.

[0051] The aroma smelling tube 64 can be made of a hard tube. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the aroma smelling tube 64 includes a hard tube section 641 and a flexible tube section 642. The hard tube section 641 penetrates the outer cylinder 61. One end of the hard tube section 641 communicates with the inner cavity of the liquid collector 62, and the other end of the hard tube section 641 communicates with one end of the flexible tube section 642. Among them, the other end of the flexible tube section 642 forms the aroma smelling port, and the aroma smelling port can be connected to the aroma smelling cover 65.

[0052] By setting the aroma smelling tube 64 as a structure composed of the hard tube section 641 and the flexible tube section 642, the hard tube section 641 cannot be bent, which is convenient for connecting with the liquid collector 62 and the outer cylinder 61, ensuring the connection tightness and reliability. The flexible tube section 642 can be bent, allowing the operator to flexibly adjust the position of the aroma smelling port according to needs to adapt to different usage scenarios and requirements.

[0053] The second valve 63 can be an electric valve, such as a solenoid valve, etc., and the operator can remotely control the opening and closing of the second valve 63. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , the second valve 63 can be a manual valve, such as a manual ball valve; the handle of the second valve 63 is located outside the outer cylinder 61. During operation, the operator holds the handle to control the opening and closing of the second valve 63.

[0054] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , the top of the liquid collector 62 has a flared section 623 with a cross-sectional dimension gradually increasing from bottom to top, and the upper end of the flared section 623 forms a first opening 621. By providing the flared section 623, not only is there enough space between the liquid collector 62 and the outer cylinder 61 to facilitate the installation of the liquid collector 62, but also the condensed liquid baijiu can be introduced into the liquid collector 62 through the flared section 623 for collection.

[0055] In some embodiments, threaded connection sections are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the outer cylinder 61. Exemplarily, both the upper and lower ends of the outer cylinder 61 can be provided with internal thread sections or external thread sections, so that the outer cylinder 61 can be connected to other components through the threaded structure, which can not only improve the connection efficiency but also facilitate maintenance and repair at the edge. Of course, in other embodiments, the outer cylinder 61 can also be connected to other components by other connection structures such as bolts and flanges, and specific limitations are not made here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the outer cylinder 61 and the liquid collector 62 are made of a transparent material. The transparent material can be glass, acrylic, etc. By making the outer cylinder 61 and the liquid collector 62 of a transparent material, the operator can observe the volume of the liquid baijiu collected in the liquid collector 62.

[0057] Refer to Figure 2 , a distillation and extraction system provided by an embodiment of the present application includes a distillation device 1, a condensation device 2, a liquid storage device 3, and a distillation and aroma-smelling device 6; the distillation device 1 is communicated with the condensation device 2 through a steam pipe 4, the condensation device 2 is communicated with the upper end of the outer cylinder 61 through a condensate outlet pipe 5, and the lower end of the outer cylinder 61 is communicated with the liquid storage device 3.

[0058] Refer to Figure 2, the distillation extraction system provided by the embodiments of the present application is used for distilling and extracting white liquor. The specific distillation extraction process is as follows: The second valve 63 is in a closed state, and the smelling port of the smelling tube 64 is blocked with a rubber stopper; the fermented liquid is heated in the distillation device 1 to evaporate the alcohol to form wine vapor, and the wine vapor enters the condensation device 2 through the steam pipe 4 and is condensed into liquid white liquor. The liquid white liquor is collected in the liquid collector 62 of the distillation smelling device 6 through the condensate outlet pipe 5. When the white liquor in the liquid collector 62 reaches the predetermined volume, the rubber stopper at the smelling port of the smelling tube 64 is removed, and the operator smells the liquid white liquor in the liquid collector 62 through the smelling port of the smelling tube 64 and records the characteristics of the white liquor in the liquid collector 62. Then, the second valve 63 is opened, and the white liquor in the liquid collector 62 flows through the second opening 622 into the liquid storage device 3 for storage; the above process is repeated, and the white liquor with the same aroma is filled in the same liquid storage device 3, and the white liquor with different aromas is filled in different liquid storage devices 3.

[0059] The distillation extraction system provided by the embodiments of the present application can enable the operator to monitor the aroma change during the distillation process of white liquor by setting the distillation smelling device 6, more precisely control the extraction of flavor substances, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of the white liquor flavor, and further helping to ensure the quality of each batch of white liquor; at the same time, the operator can also adjust the distillation strategy according to the specific flavor requirements of the white liquor to create white liquor products with different style characteristics.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 , the distillation device 1 includes a bracket 11, on which a flask 12 and a heater 13 for heating the flask 12 are provided. The flask 12 is communicated with the condensation device 2 through a steam pipe 4. During operation, the fermented liquid is filled in the flask 12, and the liquid in the flask 12 is heated by the heater 13 to evaporate the alcohol in the liquid to form wine vapor, and the wine vapor enters the condensation device 2 through the steam pipe 4 and is condensed into liquid white liquor. Among them, the heater 13 can be an alcohol lamp. A thermometer 14 can be provided on the flask 12 for monitoring the temperature of the liquid therein. In other embodiments, the distillation device 1 can also be other existing structures as long as it can heat the fermented liquid to evaporate the alcohol to form wine vapor, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0061] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2, the condensation device 2 includes a condensation pipe 21 arranged obliquely downward. The upper end of the condensation pipe 21 is communicated with the steam pipe 4, and the lower end of the condensation pipe 21 is communicated with the condensate outlet pipe 5. A condensation jacket 22 is connected to the outside of the condensation pipe 21. Among them, a condensation chamber is formed between the condensation jacket 22 and the condensation pipe 21. The lower end of the condensation jacket 22 is connected with a water inlet communicated with the condensation chamber, and the upper end of the condensation jacket 22 is connected with a water outlet communicated with the condensation chamber. During operation, condensed water is continuously conveyed into the condensation chamber through the water inlet. When the wine steam is conveyed from top to bottom in the condensation pipe 21, the heat of the wine steam is transferred to the condensed water through the pipe wall of the condensation pipe 21. When the temperature of the wine steam drops below the dew point temperature, the wine steam condenses into liquid liquor, and the liquid liquor is then conveyed through the condensate outlet pipe 5. In other embodiments, the condensation device 2 can also be other existing structures, as long as it can condense the wine steam into liquid liquor, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the liquid storage device 3 can include a white liquor bottle, a white liquor barrel, a white liquor tank, etc., as long as it can be used to hold white liquor, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0063] It should be noted that the distillation and aroma-smelling device provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied not only in the field of white liquor but also in other fields.

[0064] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and it does not impose any form of limitation on the present application. Based on the technical essence of the present application, any simple modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made to the above embodiments within the spirit and principle of the present application still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
