Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of beer processing equipment, and particularly relates to a rapid sedimentation tank for beer processing. Background Art
[0002] In the process of beer brewing, sedimentation is a crucial step, which is used to remove solid impurities generated during the brewing process, thereby improving the purity and taste of beer. However, traditional beer sedimentation tanks have obvious deficiencies in terms of sedimentation speed. These sedimentation tanks mainly rely on the principle of natural sedimentation, that is, using the action of gravity to gradually deposit solid impurities at the bottom of the tank.
[0003] Although the method of natural sedimentation is simple, the sedimentation speed is slow, usually requiring long-term static settlement. This not only affects the production efficiency of beer but also increases the production cost. In addition, long-term static settlement may also cause the loss of some beneficial components in beer, thus affecting the quality of beer. Content of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a rapid sedimentation tank for beer processing to solve the problems raised in the above background art.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A rapid sedimentation tank for beer processing, including a sedimentation tank, a water inlet, a drain pipe, an air delivery pipe, a plurality of nozzles, an air inlet pipe, an electromagnetic flowmeter, a solenoid valve, a motor, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. The water inlet is arranged at the top of the sedimentation tank, one end of the drain pipe is arranged on the right side of the sedimentation tank, the air delivery pipe is respectively rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the sedimentation tank, a plurality of the nozzles are arranged on the air delivery pipe, the inner wall of the air inlet pipe is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the air delivery pipe, the electromagnetic flowmeter and the solenoid valve are both arranged on the air inlet pipe, and the electromagnetic flowmeter is located on the right side of the solenoid valve. The motor is arranged on the left side outside the sedimentation tank, the first bevel gear is arranged at the driving end of the motor, the second bevel gear is arranged on the outer wall of the air delivery pipe, and the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear.
[0006] Preferably, a plurality of stirring rods are arranged on the outer wall of the air delivery pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the air inlet pipe is connected to the outer wall of the air delivery pipe through a sealed bearing. The inner ring of the sealed bearing is in interference fit with the outer wall of the air delivery pipe, and the outer ring of the sealed bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Through the precise control of the electromagnetic flowmeter and the solenoid valve, the present utility model can quantitatively transport carbon dioxide gas into the precipitation tank. This precise quantitative control not only ensures the amount of carbon dioxide gas required during the beer precipitation process, but also avoids the situation of excess or deficiency, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of beer precipitation. Secondly, through the linkage setting of the motor, the first bevel gear, and the second bevel gear, the present utility model realizes the rotation function of the gas delivery pipe and the nozzle. This design enables the carbon dioxide gas to come into contact with the beer more comprehensively, improving the uniformity of the distribution of carbon dioxide in the beer, and thus further accelerating the precipitation speed of the beer. In addition, the rotational movement of the nozzle and the stirring device also helps to break up the suspended particles and bubbles in the beer, making them easier to aggregate and precipitate to the bottom of the precipitation tank. This comprehensive contact and mixing effect not only improves the precipitation effect, but also helps to reduce the time required for precipitation, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire beer production process.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0013] Please refer to Figure 1-2, the present utility model provides a rapid sedimentation tank for beer processing, which includes a sedimentation tank 1, a water inlet 2, a drain pipe 3, an air delivery pipe 4, multiple nozzles 5, an air inlet pipe 12, an electromagnetic flowmeter 6, a solenoid valve 7, a motor 8, a first bevel gear 9 and a second bevel gear 10. A water inlet 2 is provided at the top of the sedimentation tank 1, one end of a drain pipe 3 is provided on the right side of the sedimentation tank 1, the air delivery pipe 4 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the sedimentation tank 1 respectively, multiple nozzles 5 are arranged on the air delivery pipe 4, the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 12 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 4, the electromagnetic flowmeter 6 and the solenoid valve 7 are both arranged on the air inlet pipe 12, and the electromagnetic flowmeter 6 is located on the right side of the solenoid valve 7. The motor 8 is arranged on the left side outside the sedimentation tank 1, the first bevel gear 9 is arranged at the driving end of the motor 8, the second bevel gear 10 is arranged on the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 4, and the first bevel gear 9 meshes with the second bevel gear 10.
[0014] Specifically, a plurality of stirring rods 11 are arranged on the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 4.
[0015] Specifically, the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 12 is connected to the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 4 through a sealed bearing. The inner ring of the sealed bearing is in interference fit with the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 4, and the outer ring of the sealed bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet pipe 12.
[0016] Working principle: First, the beer to be sedimented is injected into the sedimentation tank 1 through the water inlet 2. During the sedimentation process, in order to accelerate the sedimentation speed, carbon dioxide gas is introduced through the air inlet pipe 12. The carbon dioxide gas is precisely controlled and regulated by the electromagnetic flowmeter 6 and the solenoid valve 7 to ensure that it enters the air delivery pipe 4 at the set flow rate and speed. The electromagnetic flowmeter 6 is used to monitor the gas flow rate in real time, while the solenoid valve 7 is responsible for controlling the on-off of the gas, thereby achieving precise control of the carbon dioxide gas delivery. Next, the carbon dioxide gas is transmitted through the air delivery pipe 4 to multiple nozzles 5. Since the air delivery pipe 4 is rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the sedimentation tank 1, and the driving end of the motor 8 meshes with the second bevel gear 10 on the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 4 through the first bevel gear 9, the operation of the motor 8 can drive the air delivery pipe 4 and the nozzles 5 to rotate. This rotational movement enables the nozzles 5 to spray the carbon dioxide gas comprehensively and evenly, allowing the carbon dioxide to fully mix and contact with the beer, thereby accelerating the sedimentation speed of the suspended particles in the beer. To further enhance the sedimentation effect, a plurality of stirring rods 11 are also arranged on the outer wall of the air delivery pipe 4. When the air delivery pipe 4 rotates, the stirring rods 11 also rotate accordingly, helping to break up the suspended particles and bubbles in the beer, making it easier for them to aggregate and settle to the bottom of the sedimentation tank 1.
[0017] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
