[0045] In the technical field of beer machines, wort first needs to be saccharified in a saccharification pot, then transferred to a boiling pot for boiling, and then hops are added to obtain beer. In the prior art, these technological processes for making beer by a beer saccharification machine need to be manually operated, resulting in technical problems such as low work efficiency and low accuracy. For example, when wort is saccharified in a saccharification pot in the prior art, it may be unevenly heated, and separate sparge water needs to be manufactured. During the process of transferring the wort in the saccharification pot to the boiling pot, manual control of the transfer of the wort is required, and the pipelines through which the wort passes are numerous and not easy to clean. The addition of hops is difficult to control, and the cooling effect on the boiled wort is not ideal.

[0046] In view of this, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a beer saccharification machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, mainly including the following contents:

[0047] The present application provides a beer saccharification machine, as Figures 1 - 8 shown, including: a support housing 10 and a saccharification pot assembly 20, and the saccharification pot assembly 20 is detachably installed at the upper end of the support housing 10. Exemplarily, the support housing 10 is a support frame of the beer saccharification machine, facilitating the installation of different components on the support housing 10. During the beer production process, malt and water are first filled into the saccharification pot assembly 20 to form wort and undergo saccharification. Therefore, detachably installing the saccharification pot assembly 20 at the upper end of the support housing 10 facilitates filling malt into the saccharification pot assembly 20 and also facilitates detaching the saccharification pot assembly 20 for cleaning. Among them, the saccharification pot assembly 20 can be connected to the support housing 10 by means of snap connection, threading, etc.

[0048] The saccharification pot assembly 20 in the present application can automatically add water and use a water bath heating method for heat preservation. Further, the water used for heat preservation can be reused for sparging.

[0049] A boiling pot assembly 30, the boiling pot assembly 30 is located at the lower end of the support housing 10, the boiling pot assembly 30 is placed in the support housing 10, a wort valve structure 40 is located between the saccharification pot assembly 20 and the boiling pot assembly 30, and the saccharification pot assembly 20 is connected to the boiling pot assembly 30 through the wort valve structure 40, and the wort valve structure 40 can automatically control the communication state between the boiling pot assembly 30 and the saccharification pot assembly 20. Exemplarily, after the wort is saccharified in the saccharification pot assembly 20, the wort valve structure 40 can be automatically controlled to move towards the saccharification pot assembly 20, that is, move along the y direction, so that the lower end of the saccharification pot assembly 20 is communicated with the upper end of the boiling pot assembly 30, enabling the wort to be transferred from the saccharification pot assembly 20 to the boiling pot assembly 30 for boiling. During this process, automatic transfer of the wort can be achieved, and during the transfer process, the wort only passes through the wort valve structure 40, reducing the pipelines used for transfer. Only the wort valve structure 40 needs to be cleaned, reducing the pipelines that need to be cleaned.

[0050] The hop box assembly 50 is detachably disposed at the upper end of the support housing 10. Exemplarily, the hop box assembly 50 is inserted into the upper end of the support housing 10 and is located on one side of the saccharification pot assembly 20. The lower end of the hop box assembly 50 is connected to the boiling pot assembly 30, and the hop box assembly 50 can automatically load hops into the boiling pot assembly 30. Exemplarily, after the wort is saccharified, hops need to be added for reaction. The system can control the hop box assembly 50 to automatically add hops into the boiling pot assembly 30. The hop box assembly 50 is detachably disposed at the upper end of the support housing 10. On the one hand, it is convenient to add hops, and on the other hand, it is convenient to detach the hop box assembly 50 for cleaning and replacement.

[0051] The air-cooled exhaust assembly 60 is installed at the lower end of the support housing 10. The air-cooled exhaust assembly 60 cools the wort in the boiling pot assembly 30 through the cooling pipe 70. Among them, a part of the cooling pipe 70 is located inside the boiling pot assembly 30. Exemplarily, a part of the cooling pipe 70 is immersed in the wort of the boiling pot assembly 30. The water inlet of the cooling pipe 70 is connected to the water tank 80, and the water outlet is connected to the air-cooled exhaust assembly 60. The air-cooled exhaust assembly 60 cools the water transmitted by the cooling pipe 70 and then discharges it into the water tank 80. The cooling pipe 70, the air-cooled exhaust assembly 60 and the water tank 80 form a cooling water circulation. Specifically, after the wort is heated in the boiling pot assembly 30, the heat in the wort is driven by continuously circulating the cooling water, realizing rapid cooling.

[0052] Therefore, for the beer saccharification machine provided in this application, the saccharification pot assembly 20 and the boiling pot assembly 30 are connected through the wort valve structure 40. Through the control of the wort valve structure 40, the automatic transfer of the wort valve is realized, and during the transfer process, the wort only passes through the wort valve structure 40, greatly reducing the transfer components and improving the transfer efficiency and the cleaning efficiency of the transfer parts; the hop box assembly 50 can automatically add different hops into the boiling pot assembly 30, improving the efficiency of adding hops; the air-cooled exhaust assembly 60 continuously circulates and cools the cooling pipe 70 in the boiling pot assembly 30, thereby realizing the rapid cooling of the wort in the boiling pot assembly 30. The beer saccharification machine of this application realizes fully automatic wort that can be fermented into beer, has a simple structure, high working efficiency and is convenient to clean.

[0053] According to some optional embodiments, the saccharification pot assembly 20 includes a saccharification inner pot 21 and a saccharification outer pot 22. The saccharification inner pot 21 is embedded in the saccharification outer pot 22, and the saccharification inner pot 21 cannot rotate circumferentially. A receiving cavity 23 is formed between the saccharification inner pot 21 and the saccharification outer pot 22. An infusion assembly 24 is installed in the receiving cavity 23. One end of the infusion assembly 24 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the saccharification outer pot 22, and the other end is an automatic end facing the saccharification inner pot 21. The infusion assembly 24 can transport the liquid in the receiving cavity 23 into the saccharification inner pot 21.

[0054] In the above solution, when saccharifying the wort, first, load the malt into the saccharification inner pot 21, and cover the saccharification pot lid 26 on the saccharification inner pot 21 and the saccharification outer pot 22; then, inject water into the receiving cavity 23 and heat it. After the water reaches the preset temperature, the infusion assembly 24 transports the water in the receiving cavity 23 into the saccharification inner pot 21, so that the malt and water are mixed to form wort, and the wort starts to be saccharified. During the saccharification process, the water in the receiving cavity 23 continuously circulates and heats, so that the water in the receiving cavity remains at the preset temperature to assist the wort in completing saccharification; finally, after the wort is saccharified, transfer the wort to the boiling pot assembly 30. At the same time, there is still sugar remaining in the malt residue in the saccharification inner pot. At this time, the infusion assembly 24 can transport the water used for heat preservation in the receiving cavity 23 into the saccharification inner pot for multiple spargings, eliminating the need to prepare additional sparging water, reducing water waste. At the same time, multiple spargings improve the saccharification efficiency, fully bringing out the sugar remaining in the saccharification inner pot 21 and avoiding waste caused by insufficient malt saccharification.

[0055] It should be noted that the "sparging" mentioned in this application refers to: after the malt and water are mixed, saccharification is completed in the saccharification inner pot 21 to form wort. The wort will flow into the boiling pot, and the residue of the malt will still remain in the saccharification inner pot 21. At this time, there is still sugar remaining in the residue of the malt. At this time, add water to the saccharification inner pot to continue cleaning the sugar remaining in the residue of the malt to avoid waste of sugar.

[0056] According to some optional embodiments, the infusion assembly 24 includes a first control valve 241, a second control valve 242, and an infusion member 243. The first control valve 241 is used to control the liquid in the receiving cavity 23 to be at a preset temperature; the second control valve 242 is used to control the infusion member 243 to transport the liquid in the receiving cavity 23 into the saccharification inner pot 21.

[0057] In the above solution, the liquid infusion member 243 can be a water pipe, a faucet, a rocker arm pipe, etc. The first control valve 241 is installed at the lower end of the saccharification outer pot 22. The first control valve 241 is used to control the water to enter and flow out of the accommodation cavity 23, so that the water in the accommodation cavity 23 circulates, and the water entering the accommodation cavity 23 is heated water, and the water flowing out is water below the preset temperature. The way of water bath heating can make the saccharification process of the wort in the saccharification inner pot 21 more uniform and sufficient. The second control valve 242 is connected to the liquid infusion member 243. When the water in the accommodation cavity 23 reaches the preset temperature, the second control valve 242 can control the liquid infusion member 243 to transport the water in the accommodation cavity 23 to the saccharification inner pot 21, so that the malt and water are mixed. After the wort is saccharified, the liquid infusion member 243 can be controlled to transport the water for saccharification and heat preservation to the saccharification inner pot 21 for multiple mash washings, making full use of the malt, and also realizing the secondary recycling of the heat preservation water and reducing waste.

[0058] According to some optional embodiments, the wort valve structure 40 includes a check valve 41, a liquid storage member 42, and an electromagnetic switch 43; preferably, the electromagnetic switch 43 can be composed of an electromagnetic coil and an iron core.

[0059] The check valve 41 is movably installed at the lower end of the saccharification pot assembly 20. The check valve 41 is columnar and is inserted into the lower end of the saccharification inner pot 21. The check valve 41 can move along the y direction. The liquid storage member 42 is located at the lower end of the check valve 41. The liquid storage member 42 is funnel-shaped. The upper end of the liquid storage member 42 can be in contact with the lower end of the check valve 41, and the liquid storage member 42 is movably installed in the installation groove 13 of the support housing 10. The liquid storage member 42 can move along the y direction. The electromagnetic switch 43 is located at the lower end of the liquid storage member 42 and is sleeved on the outer wall of the liquid storage member 42. The electromagnetic switch 43 can drive the liquid storage member 42 to move to push open the check valve 41.

[0060] Exemplarily, after the wort is saccharified in the saccharification inner pot 21, it needs to be transferred to the boiling pot 31. The electromagnetic switch 43 is energized to generate an electromagnetic force. Under the drive of the electromagnetic force, the liquid storage member 42 moves along the y direction until the check valve 41 is pushed open. A flow channel is formed between the check valve 41 and the saccharification inner pot 21. The wort flows through the liquid storage member 42 along the flow channel to the boiling pot 31. When the transfer of the wort is completed, the electromagnetic switch 43 is de-energized, and the liquid storage member 42 returns to its initial position under the action of gravity, and the check valve 41 also returns to its initial position and abuts against the saccharification inner pot 21, and the flow channel between the two is closed.

[0061] In this application, the electromagnetic switch 43 controls the movement of the liquid storage member 42 to push open the check valve 41, realizing the automatic transfer of the wort to the boiling pot 31, which is convenient to operate, has a simple structure, and reduces the volume of the beer saccharification machine.

[0062] According to some optional embodiments, the outer wall of the liquid storage component 42 is spaced apart with a first magnetic sensing component 44 and a second magnetic sensing component 45, the first magnetic sensing component 44 and the second magnetic sensing component 45 can be located at the same horizontal position, the first magnetic sensing component 44 and the second magnetic sensing component 45 can be metal screws, metal bars, etc., which can generate magnetic force, and the outer wall of the mounting groove 13 of the support shell 10 is installed with a first proximity switch 11 set to sense the first magnetic sensing component 44 and a second proximity switch 12 set to sense the second magnetic sensing component 45.

[0063] According to some optional embodiments, in the axial direction of the support shell 10, that is, in the y direction of the movement of the liquid storage component 42, the first proximity switch 11 and the second proximity switch 12 are staggered. This avoids the situation where when the first proximity switch 11 corresponds to the position of the first magnetic sensing component 44, the second proximity switch 12 also corresponds to the position of the second magnetic sensing component 45, and the system becomes unable to recognize.

[0064] In the above scheme, when the first magnetic sensing component 44 moves in the y direction to correspond to the first proximity switch 11, a first sensing signal is generated between the two. If the system detects the signal, it can be determined that the liquid storage component 42 is in a working state, the check valve 41 is in a top-open state, and the wort is transferred to the boiling pot 31; when the second magnetic sensing component 45 moves in the y direction to correspond to the second proximity switch 12, a first sensing signal is generated between the two. If the system detects the signal, it can be determined that the liquid storage component 42 is in an initial position and the check valve 41 is in a closed state; if the system does not detect the first sensing signal or the second sensing signal, it means that the liquid storage component 42 is not installed, or is installed but not installed in place, and the staff is reminded to check.

[0065] According to some optional embodiments, the boiling pot assembly 30 includes a boiling pot 31 and a boiling pot cover 32 , wherein the boiling pot cover 32 is buckled onto the boiling pot 31 , and an anti-overflow rod 33 is provided on the boiling pot cover 32 , and the anti-overflow rod 33 is used to prevent wort from overflowing from the boiling pot 31 .

[0066] Exemplarily, when the wort in the boiling pot 31 is heated and boiled to generate foam, the rising foam and the anti-overflow rod 33 installed on the boiling pot form a circuit loop. After the system detects the circuit loop, the heating source stops heating or reduces the power heating to prevent the boiled wort from overflowing the boiling pot 31, which not only prevents the waste of wort, but also reduces energy consumption by automatically adjusting the heating power. When the wort in the boiling pot 31 in the present application is boiled, the generated steam will not overflow from the wort inlet and the hop inlet on the boiling pot cover 32, but overflow from the specially designed steam outlet, which can prevent a large amount of steam from overflowing and fumigating other components, and simplify the design of the sealing structure.

[0067] Optionally, a heating element 35 is also provided at the lower part of the boiling pot 31. The heating element 35 can be an induction cooker, and the induction cooker is used to heat the boiling pot 31 so that the wort is boiled in the boiling pot 31.

[0068] According to some optional embodiments, the air-cooled row assembly 60 includes an air-cooled row body 61 and a fan 62, and the fan 62 is detachably mounted on the air-cooled row body 61;

[0069] The water inlet of the cooling pipe 70 is connected to the water tank 80, the water outlet of the cooling pipe 70 is connected to the air-cooled row body 61, and the cooled water in the air-cooled row body 61 is discharged into the water tank 80, forming a water cooling water circulation among the cooling pipe 70, the air-cooled row body 61 and the water tank 80.

[0070] In the above solution, a part of the cooling pipe 70 is located in the boiling pot 31 and immersed in the wort. After the wort is boiled, the system starts to cool the wort. The cooling water in the water tank 80 enters the cooling pipe 70. At this time, the cooling water absorbs the heat of the wort and then flows out from the water outlet to the air-cooled row body 61. When the cooling water flows out, it takes away the heat of the wort. The fan 62 starts to air-cool the cooling water with heat. After the temperature drops to the preset temperature, the air-cooled row body 61 discharges the cooling water into the water tank 80, and so on. In this application, the cooling pipe 70 is located in the boiling pot 31, and the wort does not flow through the cooling pipe 70. Only the outside contacts the wort, which is convenient for cleaning the cooling pipe 70 and can cool the wort more quickly.

[0071] According to some optional embodiments, an avoidance groove 25 is provided on the outer wall of the saccharification pot assembly 20. The avoidance groove 25 is recessed towards the accommodating cavity 23, and the hop box assembly 50 is located in the avoidance groove 25, reducing the volume of the beer saccharification machine.

[0072] Specifically, the hop box assembly 50 includes a hop box 51, a hop cover 52 and a hop seat 53. The hop seat 53 is detachably mounted on the support housing 10 for the hop box 51, and the hop cover 52 is snap-fitted and fixed to the hop seat 53.

[0073] According to some optional embodiments, the hop box assembly 50 further includes a driving member 54 and a photoelectric sensor 55. The driving member 54 and the photoelectric sensor 55 are installed in the support housing 10. The driving member 54 can drive the hop box 51 to rotate, and the photoelectric sensor 55 is used to judge the position information of the hop box 51.

[0074] Exemplarily, the hop seat 53 cannot rotate relative to the support housing 10. The hop seat 53 is inserted into the support housing 10. The lower end of the hop seat 53 communicates with the boiling pot 31. A driving member 54 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the hop seat 53. The driving member 54 can be a driving device such as a motor, a hydraulic device, or a connecting rod. An output shaft 56 is also installed on the hop seat 53. The driving member 54 is connected to the output shaft 56 through a driving member bracket 57. The output end of the output shaft 56 passes through the hop seat 53 and is connected to the hop box 51. When the driving member 54 is started to drive the hop box 51 to rotate, different types of hops can be added to multiple grids of the hop box 51 through the second opening 521 on the hop cover 52. When adding hops to the hop box 51, the driving member 54 needs to rotate the hop box 51 to the initial position, where the first opening 511 of the hop box 51 is misaligned with the third opening 531 on the hop seat 53, ensuring that during the process of adding hops to the hop box 51, the hops will not fall into the boiling pot 31 through the third opening 531. In this application, the position information of the hop box 51 can be monitored in real time through the provided photoelectric sensor 55, ensuring that the driving member 54 drives the hop box 51 to accurately rotate to the initial position, guaranteeing that different hops can be added to different grids of the hop box 51 at different times.

[0075] When it is necessary to add hops to the wort in the boiling pot 31, the driving member 54 drives the hop box 51 to rotate. When the first opening 511 of the hop box 51 rotates to align with the third opening on the hop seat 53, the hops at the current position fall into the boiling pot 31 under the action of gravity and are mixed with the wort.

[0076] A human-machine interface 90 is also provided in this application. Through the human-machine interface 90, the working state of the current beer saccharification machine can be obtained intuitively in real time, and it is convenient to operate and control different components of the beer saccharification machine. The human-machine interface 90 can also display or send out prompt information.
