The utility model also relates to a koji frame for placing the koji basket structure for koji cake fermentation. Background Art

[0002] Jiangxiang Daqu plays a role in saccharification, fermentation, flavor generation and grain feeding in the production of Jiangxiang-flavored Baijiu, and is one of the important factors affecting the style and quality of Jiangxiang-flavored Baijiu. The traditional Jiangxiang Daqu is a wrapped koji. During the stacking fermentation process, the mutual extrusion between the upper and lower koji cakes slows down the volatilization of moisture. Secondly, the use of a large amount of rice straw also plays a certain role in keeping the koji cake warm and moist. The distance from the core to the surface of the wrapped koji is 6-7 cm. When fermenting Jiangxiang Daqu on a koji rack, due to the supporting effect of the bearing platform, there is basically no extrusion between the upper and lower wrapped koji, the moisture dissipation channel is unobstructed, and the moisture of the koji cake dissipates quickly, resulting in insufficient fermentation temperature retention time of the koji cake and poor fermentation effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0019] In summary, by adopting the provided basket structure and basket-shaped fermented starter cakes in the form of basket-shaped cakes, the basket structure itself is simple, convenient, and reusable. The basket-shaped starter cakes can be loaded into the basket by a robotic arm and then placed on the bearing platform of the basket rack or stacked in the basket frame by the robotic arm, making full use of the space in the fermentation room. After placing the starter cakes, an automated forklift is used to transfer the basket rack or basket frame to the fermentation room for stacking and culturing fermentation. When the fermentation reaches a certain time, the robotic arm is used to turn the cakes, reducing the labor intensity. This is applicable to the mechanized, automated, and large-scale brewing of soy sauce-flavored Daqu.

[0020] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below through specific embodiments:

[0021] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is the technical problem that the water loss is relatively fast and the temperature retention time is insufficient during the rack-type or frame-type stacking fermentation of basket-shaped starter cakes. A stainless-steel basket for wrapping the basket-shaped starter cake blanks is designed to keep the basket-shaped starter cakes warm and moisturized, slow down the water evaporation, so as to realize the mechanized rack-type or frame-type stacking and culturing fermentation of high-quality soy sauce-flavored Daqu.

[0022] The present utility model provides a basket for the stacking fermentation of basket-shaped soy sauce-flavored Daqu, which includes 1 hollow cover plate and 1 hollow square main body.

[0023] The hollow square main body is welded by 2 hollow side plates, 2 hollow end plates and 1 hollow bottom plate. The hollow structural steel plate plays the role of gas (vapor) interaction between the basket-shaped starter cake blanks inside the basket and the external fermentation space.

[0024] The cover plate is made by casting and rolling a rectangular hollow steel plate. The cover plate is fixed to the hollow square main body by a hinge for convenient placement of the starter cakes. It is fixed at the other end by a buckle to play the role of sealing the basket.

[0025] The hollow can be designed into different sizes and shapes or shapes with adjustable opening degrees. The hollow shape can be square, circular, rhombic, etc.

[0026] At the same time, the basket-shaped starter cake blanks can be placed in the stainless-steel basket by a robotic arm and placed on the bearing platform of the basket rack or stacked in the basket frame, which is convenient for the operation of mechanical equipment such as automated forklifts and reduces the labor intensity.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Based on the dimensions of the basket-shaped starter cake blanks of soy sauce-flavored Daqu: length (370±0.5) mm, width (280±0.5) mm, thickness (140±0.5) mm. Considering the size error and production error of the basket-shaped starter cake blanks, the basket-shaped stainless-steel basket is designed as: length (375±0.5) mm, width (285±0.5) mm, thickness (145±0.5) mm. The hollow shape is a long strip: length 20 mm, width 3 mm.

[0029] Pressing and placing the Qu blanks. After mixing the raw materials with water, press them into a bag-shaped Qu blank with a length of (370±0.5) mm, a width of (280±0.5) mm, and a thickness of (140±0.5) mm. Then, place it in a bag-shaped stainless steel Qu basket. Place the stainless steel Qu basket containing the bag-shaped Qu blank in a 6-layer Qu frame. After placement, use an automated forklift to transfer the Qu frame to the fermentation room. After the fermentation room is filled with Qu frames, close the doors and windows to maintain the temperature and humidity of the bacteria cultivation environment. The microbial flora grows and declines within the Qu blank, undergoes natural fermentation, and natural temperature rise.

[0030] Mechanized turning of Qu. After the Qu blanks are stacked and cultivated with bacteria for a certain period of time, use a robotic arm to turn the Qu frame 180 degrees to achieve mechanized turning of Qu operation. As the moisture content of the Qu blank decreases, slightly open the doors and windows of the fermentation room until the moisture content of the Qu blank drops to about 15%, and the fermentation ends.

[0031] Storage in the warehouse. After the fermentation of the Qu blanks ends, remove the bag-shaped Qu blanks and transfer them to the finished Qu warehouse. Keep the finished Qu warehouse ventilated and dry. Store for 3 - 6 months, and it becomes the finished Qu, which can be taken out of the warehouse, crushed, and used.
