Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of boiling pans, and specifically provides a boiling pan assembly for a beer saccharification machine. Background Art
[0002] Wort boiling is a very important link in the beer saccharification process. It has the functions of concentrating wort, accelerating protein flocculation, improving wort clarity, enhancing the non-biological stability of wort, extracting effective substances from hops, and endowing beer with unique aroma and flavor.
[0003] For existing boiling pans, on the one hand, during use, due to excessive heating intensity, the liquid in the pot may overflow outside the pot. Once the liquid in the pot overflows, it will not only cause waste of the materials in the pot, but also pollute the environment outside the pot, thus causing economic losses. Moreover, during use, when boiling, the heat increases, resulting in increased energy consumption.
[0004] On the other hand, during use, the boiled wort needs to be cooled in the boiling pan before being taken out. The common cooling method is to directly set a cooling water sandwich between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder on the outer wall and bottom of the saccharification tank, and circulate the water in the sandwich to achieve the purpose of cooling. Although this cooling structure speeds up the cooling time to a certain extent, the cooling time still needs a relatively long period; there is also a cooling method with a cooling water circulation. In this method, if the cooling coil is set in the bottom wall sandwich of the boiling tank or the cooling coil is set as a cylindrical structure, the wort around the coil can be cooled, while the wort in other positions cannot be cooled because there is no stirring, resulting in reduced cooling efficiency. The current cooling equipment is not convenient to clean, bringing great inconvenience to the existing production. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] This application aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and provides a boiling pan assembly for a beer saccharification machine, which is provided with a cooling component capable of performing water circulation and an anti-overflow rod on the pot cover, thereby solving the technical problems of low cooling efficiency, wort overflow, and high energy consumption in the prior art.
[0006] An embodiment of this application provides a boiling pan assembly for a beer saccharification machine, including a pot body and a pot cover covering the pot body; it further includes an anti-overflow rod. The anti-overflow rod includes a first anti-overflow rod arranged on the pot cover and a second anti-overflow rod arranged on the pot body. When the first anti-overflow rod contacts the liquid in the pot body, the first anti-overflow rod and the second anti-overflow rod form an electric circuit loop. After the system detects the electric circuit loop, the heating source stops heating or reduces the heating power to prevent the boiled wort from overflowing.
[0007] In some embodiments, it further includes a cooling assembly, and the cooling assembly includes a cooling coil and a coil support; the coil support is arranged on the pot lid, and the cooling coil and the coil support are detachably connected; the cooling coil extends into the pot body and is in direct contact with the liquid in the pot body.
[0008] In some embodiments, the cooling coil includes a circular spiral section and a vertical section. The circular spiral section is located in the same horizontal plane and is arranged in the upper middle part in the height direction of the liquid level in the pot body; the two ports of the cooling coil respectively form a water inlet and a water outlet in the vertical section.
[0009] In some embodiments, the coil support includes a coil interface; two through holes are arranged on the coil interface. One side of the through holes is respectively connected with a water inlet pipe joint and a water outlet pipe joint, and the other side is respectively correspondingly connected with the water inlet and the water outlet of the cooling coil.
[0010] In some embodiments, a pipe hole is further arranged on the pot lid, and the pipe hole is used for installing a pot inlet pipe extending into the pot body. The length of the pot inlet pipe extending into the pot is such that the bottom end of the pot inlet pipe can be submerged below the liquid level during use.
[0011] In some embodiments, the pot inlet pipe is detachably connected to the pot lid, and the pot inlet pipe includes a first pot inlet pipe and a second pot inlet pipe.
[0012] In some embodiments, a pot lid lock is further arranged on the pot body to realize the locking of the pot lid and the pot body.
[0013] In some embodiments, the bottom of the pot body is a composite double bottom.
[0014] In some embodiments, a sealing ring is further arranged between the pot lid and the pot body.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that the present application can achieve:
[0016] 1. An anti-overflow rod is installed on the boiling pot lid. When the wort in the boiling pot is heated and boiled, it forms an electric circuit loop with the anti-overflow rod installed on the whole machine. After the system detects the electric circuit loop, the heating source stops heating or reduces the heating power to prevent the boiled wort from overflowing the pot, which not only prevents the waste of wort, but also reduces the energy consumption through the automatic adjustment of the heating power.
[0017] 2. The cooling coil is connected to the cooling water pipe and the joint through the coil interface to form an additional cooling system. Cold water circulates in the cooling water pipe, the joint and the cooling coil, and the circulating cold water takes away the heat in the boiling pot. The cooling coil is designed as a flat plate and is always immersed in the upper-middle position of the wort. After the upper liquid is cooled, due to the increase in density, it will sink downward, and the hot wort at the bottom will float upward, thus achieving the effect of rapid cooling. Moreover, no wort flows through the inside of the cooling coil, and only the outside contacts the wort, which is conducive to cleaning.
[0018] 3. The length of the inlet pipe extends below the liquid level. When the liquid in the pot boils, the steam will not overflow from the wort inlet and the hop inlet, but will overflow from the specially designed steam outlet, which can prevent a large amount of steam from fumigating the machine body and simplifies the design of the sealing structure.
[0019] 4. Both the inlet pipe and the cooling coil are detachable, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning.
[0020] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following specifically enumerates preferred embodiments and, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, makes a detailed description as follows. Description of the Drawings

Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0027] Reference to "embodiments" in this context means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment at every occurrence in the specification, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0028] The present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] For example, in Embodiment 1 of the present application, a boiling pot assembly of a beer saccharification machine includes a pot body 2 and a pot cover 1 provided on the pot body 2. A sealing ring 13 is also provided between the pot body 2 and the pot cover 1, as Figure 1-2 shown. An inlet pipe 5, a first anti-overflow rod 4, and a cooling assembly are also provided on the pot cover 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, a pipe hole 11 for the inlet pipe 5 is provided on the pot cover 1. The inlet pipe 5 is detachably installed on the pot cover 1 through the pipe hole 11, and a sealing ring is also provided between the inlet pipe 5 and the pot cover 1. The inlet pipe 5 extends from the pot cover 1 into the interior of the pot body 2, and the length of the inlet pipe 5 extending into the pot can be such that the bottom end of the inlet pipe 5 can be submerged below the liquid level during use. When the liquid material 6 in the pot boils, steam will not overflow from the inlet of the inlet pipe 5, but will overflow from a specially designed steam outlet, which can avoid a large amount of steam fumigating the machine body. Moreover, the inlet pipe 5 and the pipe hole 11 are detachably installed, which is convenient for disassembling the inlet pipe 5 for cleaning.
[0031] In some embodiments, two pipe holes 11 and two inlet pipes 5 are provided on the pot cover 1. The first pipe hole 11 is used to install the first inlet pipe 5, and the second pipe hole 11 is used to install the second inlet pipe 5. The first inlet pipe 5 is used to inject wort, and the second inlet pipe 5 is used to inject hops and additionally extract the boiled and cooled liquid material 6.
[0032] In this embodiment, the first anti-overflow rod 4 is arranged between the two pot inlet pipes 5, and the second anti-overflow rod 4 is also arranged on the pot body 2. When the first anti-overflow rod 4 contacts the liquid in the pot body 2, the first anti-overflow rod 4 and the second anti-overflow rod 4 form a circuit loop. After the system detects the circuit loop, the heating source stops heating or reduces the power of heating to prevent the boiled liquid from overflowing.
[0033] In this embodiment, the anti-overflow rod 4 is a conductive metal rod. One anti-overflow rod is grounded, and the other is connected to the pot cover. When the bubbles generated by boiling begin to rise and touch the other anti-overflow metal rod, the two anti-overflow rods form a connected loop. The loop is equivalent to a resistor. When the system detects this signal, it detects that the liquid level has risen to a specified height. In some embodiments, the first anti-overflow rod 4 is a liquid level monitoring device. When it is detected that the liquid level has risen to the upper limit, the control of the heating source is triggered to reduce or cancel the heating power. When only distilled water condenses on the anti-overflow rod 4 on the pot cover, it will not form a loop with the anti-overflow rod 4 on the pot body, thereby avoiding the malfunction of triggering the heating source controller.
[0034] In this embodiment, the cooling assembly includes a cooling coil 31 and a coil support, the cooling coil 31 includes a circular spiral section 35 and a vertical section 36, the circular spiral section 35 is formed by a cooling water pipe spiraling in the same horizontal plane to form a spiral shape, and the two ports of the cooling water pipe form a water inlet and a water outlet respectively in the vertical section 36. The coil support includes a coil interface 32, and two through holes are arranged on the coil interface 32, one side of the through hole is respectively connected to the water inlet pipe joint 33 and the water outlet pipe joint 34, and the other side is respectively connected to the water inlet and the water outlet of the cooling coil 31.
[0035] The pot cover 1 is provided with a coil support groove 12, and the coil support is installed in the coil support groove 12. The cooling coil 31 is connected to an external cooling water circulation system through a coil interface 32, a water inlet pipe joint 33 and a water outlet pipe joint 34, forming an additional cooling system. After the liquid 6 in the boiling pot is heated and boiled for a certain period of time, the heating source is turned off, and the cooling system starts to work. The external cooling water source circulates cooling water through the water inlet pipe joint 33, the cooling coil 31 and the water outlet pipe joint 34, and the circulating cooling water takes away the heat in the boiling pot. Since the liquid 6 does not flow inside the cooling coil 31, and only the outside contacts the liquid 6, it is more convenient to clean the cooling component.
[0036] The inlet / outlet of the cooling coil 31 is detachably connected to the coil support. After the cooling coil 31 is fixed on the pot lid 1, the vertical section 36 extends into the pot body 2, so that the circular spiral section 35 is in direct contact with the liquid material 6 in the pot body 2. The cooling coil 31 is designed as a flat plate and is arranged in the upper middle part in the height direction of the liquid level in the pot body 2. When the cooling water starts to circulate, the liquid material 6 above can be quickly cooled. Due to the increase in density, it will sink downward, and the hot liquid material 6 at the bottom will float upward, and the temperature can be quickly reduced between 40 minutes and 1 hour, and the cooling efficiency is significantly improved.
[0037] In some embodiments, lid locks 21 are symmetrically arranged on the pot body 2, and locking grooves 14 are correspondingly arranged on the pot lid 1. When the lid locks 21 are locked in the locking grooves 14, the pot lid 1 and the pot body 2 are locked.
[0038] In some embodiments, the bottom 22 of the pot body 2 is a composite double bottom.
[0039] In some embodiments, the bottom 22 is a double-layer composite bottom with a honeycomb structure. The bottom 22 of the pot is designed with a honeycomb structure, and a magnetic conductive material layer is embedded in the honeycomb structure.
[0040] The bottom 22 of the boiling pot in this application is suitable for various heating methods, such as electromagnetic induction heating, direct fire heating and other methods.
[0041] The embodiments of the present application have been introduced in detail above. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present application; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present application, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
