Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to grain steaming devices, and specifically relates to a multi-layer steam coil grain steaming device. Background Art

[0002] At present, many liquor factories still use steamers to steam grains, especially sorghum, corn and rice. Many manufacturers use steamers that are commonly used for steaming liquor and grains. This type of steamer usually has a single-layer steam coil at the bottom of the pot, with a round or square vent on it. Put the grain in the steamer and soak it for a while before steaming it.

[0003] However, when the existing multi-layer steam coil grain steaming device is steaming grain, if the grain is piled too thick, after the grain is steamed for a period of time, the steam should be turned off, water should be added to steam for a period of time, and then the steam should be turned on to steam the grain dry and thoroughly. But the reality is that after steaming for a period of time, the starch in the grain gradually gelatinizes, and many grains stick together. When the steam is turned on, the grain is too thick, which will cause uneven steaming, resulting in some grains not being steamed dry and thoroughly, and some grains being steamed too dry and thoroughly, affecting the subsequent grain saccharification and fermentation, and ultimately affecting the output and quality of the wine. If the steamed grain is piled thinner, it is easier to steam the grain thoroughly, but it will lead to low utilization rate of each steamer. To steam the same grain, the method used is either to steam it several times in batches or to add more steamers. In short, it causes a great waste of resources. Utility Model Content

If the steamed grain is piled thinner, it is easier to steam the grain thoroughly, but it will lead to low utilization rate of each steamer. To steam the same grain, the method adopted is either to steam it several times in batches or to increase the steamer, resulting in a great waste of resources.

[0016] In a multi-layer steam coil grain steaming device, the following advantages can be achieved through the arrangement of the upper steaming tray, the hollow tube, the threaded tube and the connecting tube:

[0017] Improve equipment utilization rate and production efficiency: By using the upper steaming tray and the lower steaming tray in a single steamer pot, steaming operations can be carried out at multiple levels simultaneously. This means that more grains can be processed at the same time, greatly improving the production capacity and utilization rate of the equipment. This multi-layer steaming design reduces the waiting time between steaming batches, speeds up the entire steaming process, and thus improves the production efficiency.

[0018] Steaming evenly to ensure quality: Since steam can be introduced into the upper steaming tray and the lower steaming tray at the same time, the grains can obtain a more uniform heat distribution during the entire steaming process. This uniform heating ensures that the temperature inside and outside the grains is consistent, avoids differences in steaming effects caused by uneven temperature, helps to maintain the quality and taste of the grains, and provides better raw material preparation for subsequent saccharification and fermentation processes.

[0019] Simplify the operation process: The design of the handle enables operators to easily disassemble the upper steaming tray, facilitating the quick removal of the cooked grains. This user-friendly design simplifies the operation steps, reduces the labor intensity of operators, and also minimizes potential risks during the operation process.

[0020] Promote process stability: By ensuring the uniformity and consistency of grain steaming, this grain steaming system helps improve the stability of saccharification and fermentation during the wine-making process. Stable process conditions are crucial for brewing high-quality liquor products as it reduces variability and ensures product quality consistency.

[0021] Flexibility and scalability: The design of this grain steaming system allows for the addition or reduction of the number of steaming trays as needed, providing flexible production configuration options. Enterprises can adjust the layout of the steaming equipment according to changes in market demand and production scale to meet different production requirements.

[0022] In summary, this optimized grain steaming system design brings significant benefits to the food processing industry, especially the wine-making process, by improving equipment utilization, ensuring uniform steaming, simplifying the operation process, promoting process stability, and providing flexibility and scalability. It helps enterprises enhance product quality, reduce costs, and strengthen market competitiveness. Description of the Drawings

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] The present invention provides a multi-layer steam coil grain steaming device as Figures 1-4 shown, which includes a steamer pot 1 and a lid 2 arranged at the upper side of the steamer pot 1;

[0031] An air outlet pipe 4 is arranged at the lower right side position of the steamer pot 1, a main steam pipe 3 is arranged at the outer upper side position of the lid 2, a connecting pipe 9 is arranged at the connecting position of the main steam pipe 3 and the lid 2, a steam pipe 7 is arranged at the lower side position of the connecting pipe 9, and a plurality of nozzles 8 are arranged at the lower side position of the steam pipe 7;

[0032] Connecting pipes 6 are respectively connected to the lower left and right sides of the steam pipe 7, and a lower steaming tray 5 is arranged at the lower side position of the two connecting pipes 6;

[0033] A hollow pipe 10 is connected to the middle lower side position of the steam pipe 7, a threaded pipe 11 is connected to the lower side position of the hollow pipe 10, an upper steaming tray 13 is arranged at the lower side position of the threaded pipe 11, and handles 12 are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the upper side of the upper steaming tray 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, the operator can open the lid 2, place the grains to be steamed at the bottom below the steamer pot 1, fix the lid 2 to connect the steamer pot 1 and the main steam pipe 3, and then convey high-temperature steam into the steamer pot 1 through the main steam pipe 3, use the high-temperature steam to steam the grains in the steamer pot 1 at a high temperature to complete the grain steaming operation. Then, the operator can open the lid 2 to take out the grains in the steamer pot 1 for replacement. Subsequently, the air outlet pipe 4 can also be opened to discharge the moisture and high-temperature steam in the steamer pot 1.

[0035] As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, internal threads are provided at the inner side position of the threaded pipe 11, and external threads are provided at the outer side position of the hollow pipe 10.
