[0003] The traditional separation method is to boil the wort, then pump the wort into a whirlpool tank along the tangent. After swirling in the whirlpool tank, let the mixture stand in the container for 20 - 40 minutes. Since the hot coagulants and hop residue particles are denser than the liquid, they will gradually sink to the bottom of the container. Then, pump the upper-layer wort into a plate heat exchanger. After cooling by the plate heat exchanger, use a pump to pump it into a fermentation tank.
[0004] However, the traditional separation method has a more cumbersome process and requires a longer time to separate the wort. Content of the Utility Model

[0040] Embodiment 1
[0041] The present utility model provides a separation device for hot coagulum, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown. After the first cyclone separator 3 and the second cyclone separator 4 are respectively arranged on the chassis 1, by adjusting the lengths of the four legs of the chassis 1, the verticality of the first cyclone separator 3 and the horizontal height of the feed port are adjusted, so as to facilitate the docking of the first cyclone separator 3 with the discharge pipe of the boiling pot, improve the installation efficiency of the wort separation device, and at the same time avoid that the input pump cannot pump the wort into the first cyclone separator 3 at the specified rate, thereby improving the separation effect of the wort from the hot coagulum and the hop tank particles, and enhancing the purity and flavor after beer production;
[0042] Subsequently, the slider 8 drives the fixed rod 6 to slide between the two guide blocks 7, and the fixed rod 6 rotates on the slider 8, thereby adjusting the verticality of the second cyclone separator 4 and the horizontal height of the feed port, so as to facilitate the docking of the second cyclone separator 4 with the overflow port of the first cyclone separator 3, and improve the installation efficiency of the wort separation device; at the same time, it also avoids that the input pump cannot pump the wort separated once into the second cyclone separator 4 at the specified rate, thereby improving the separation effect of the wort from the hot coagulum and the hop tank particles, and enhancing the purity and flavor after beer production;
[0043] When the separation device operates normally, the wort is pumped from the cooking pot into the feed port of the separator 3 by a pump. By using the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the wort in the first cyclone separator 3, the solid particles in the wort collide and rub with the impurity particles such as tiny bubbles or oil beads in the liquid, so that the hot coagulum and hop tank particles contained in the wort are discharged from the underflow port at the bottom of the first cyclone separator 3, while the wort overflows from the overflow port at the top of the first cyclone separator 3. The wort separated for the first time is pumped into the second cyclone separator 4 by a pump, thereby realizing the double separation of the wort, effectively separating the hot coagulum and hop tank particles contained in the wort, and further enhancing the purity and flavor after beer production; at the same time, it saves the time consumed by the whirlpool settling and static settling in the whirlpool tank, thereby improving the efficiency of beer production; finally, the separated wort is pumped into the plate heat exchanger 2 from the overflow port of the second cyclone separator 4, and after being cooled by the plate heat exchanger 2, it is pumped into the fermentation tank by a pump.
[0044] Embodiment 2
[0045] On the basis of Example 1, asFigure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , when it is necessary to adjust the verticality of the second cyclone separator 4, the limiting block 12 is located in the annular groove 14, so that the fixing rod 6 can rotate smoothly on the slider 8. Combining with the self-weight of the second cyclone separator 4 and slightly rotating the second cyclone separator 4, the verticality of the second cyclone separator 4 is adjusted to ensure the stable operation of the second cyclone separator 4, improve the separation effect of wort from hot coagulum and hop tank particles, and enhance the purity and flavor of the beer after production;
[0046] After adjusting the verticality of the second cyclone separator 4, by rotating the screw 17 on the fixing rod 6, the limiting block 12 is driven to slide on the fixing rod 6 through the contact between both sides of the T-shaped block 16 and the T-shaped groove 18 until the protrusions 15 provided on both sides of the limiting block 12 enter the limiting groove 13. By the contact between both sides of the protrusions 15 and the limiting groove 13 respectively, the rotation of the fixing rod 6 on the slider 8 is restricted, thereby realizing the fixing of the second cyclone separator 4 on the slider 8, avoiding the shaking of the second cyclone separator 4 on the chassis 1, affecting the stability of the operation of the second cyclone separator 4, and further improving the separation effect of wort from hot coagulum and hop tank particles, and enhancing the purity and flavor of the beer after production.
[0047] Example 3
[0048] Based on Example 1, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 , after adjusting the verticality of the second cyclone separator 4 on the chassis 1, move the second cyclone separator 4 up and down, and the resultant force generated by the contact between the ball 21 and the groove 22 drives the ball 21 to move inward, so that the protrusion 15 slides smoothly in the vertical groove 19, thereby changing the horizontal height of the feed port of the second cyclone separator 4, facilitating the docking of the second cyclone separator 4 with the overflow port of the first cyclone separator 3, and improving the installation efficiency of the wort separation device; at the same time, it avoids that the input pump cannot pump the wort after the first separation into the second cyclone separator 4 at the specified rate, improves the separation effect of wort from hot coagulum and hop tank particles, and enhances the purity and flavor of the beer after production;
[0049] After adjusting the height of the second cyclone separator 4 on the chassis 1, by rotating the locking screw 27 on the bump 20, the conical surface 28 provided at its end is brought into contact with the inclined surfaces 26 provided at the ends of the first connecting block 24 and the second connecting block 25, and further turning the locking screw 27, the component forces generated after the two come into contact push the first connecting block 24 and the second connecting block 25 to move towards both sides until the first connecting block 24 and the second connecting block 25 respectively come into contact with the two balls 21, restricting the two balls 21 from moving inwards, and restricting the sliding of the protrusion 15 on the vertical groove 19 through the resistance generated after the balls 21 come into contact with the groove 22, thereby fixing the second cyclone separator 4 on the chassis 1, avoiding the shaking of the second cyclone separator 4 on the chassis 1, affecting the operation stability of the second cyclone separator 4, further improving the separation effect of wort from hot coagulants and hop tank particles, and enhancing the purity and flavor after beer production.
