Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of winemaking equipment, in particular to a continuous dregs breaking and cooling mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the wine-making process, the lees after heating and cooking need to be cooled to the specified temperature through air cooling, stirred evenly and then transported to the next process to meet the requirements of the wine-making process. The lees cooling machine is the equipment used to cool the lees in this process.

[0003] In traditional cooling machines, after the lees are introduced into the feed hopper, they are transported from one side of the cooler to the other via a conveyor chain. During the conveying process, the lees are cooled by a fan installed below the chain. While the fan is effective for cooling the lees when the material is relatively dispersed, it is less effective for cooling clumped lees, effectively cooling only the outer layers. Therefore, some cooling machines incorporate multiple stirring shafts at intervals along the conveyor chain to break up and tumble the lees, facilitating cooling.

[0004] For example, the distiller's grains cooling machine proposed in patent publication number CN106350339A features several steel claws arranged along the axial direction of the stirring shaft to break up the material. Multiple dry fans are also located underneath to cool the distiller's grains. However, when transporting large quantities of thick distiller's grains, the cooling air mostly flows through existing gaps. For distiller's grains that are no longer exposed to cooling air, the cooling effect is limited, as they can only be indirectly cooled. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a continuous distiller's grains breaking and cooling mechanism to solve the technical problem that the existing distiller's grains breaking and cooling mechanism has limited cooling effect on thickly accumulated distiller's grains.

[0006] The embodiments of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A continuous slag dispersing and cooling mechanism comprises a conveying mechanism for transporting slag and a dispersing mechanism for dispersing the slag on the conveying mechanism, and also comprises a cooling device for cooling the slag lifted up by the dispersing mechanism. The dispersing mechanism is provided with a protective cover for preventing the slag from being lifted out of the conveying mechanism, and the protective cover is provided with openings facing the conveying mechanism and the cooling device.

[0008] Preferably, the breaking mechanism is provided with a breaking knife for breaking up and lifting up the lees, the end of the breaking knife is provided with a cutting ring for breaking up the lees, and the cutting ring is provided with a lifting belt for lifting up the lees.

[0009] Preferably, the scattering mechanism further includes a scattering shaft for driving the scattering knife, and the scattering shaft passes through the protective cover and is transmission-connected to a driving device.

[0010] Preferably, a shield assembly is also provided for protecting the drive device.

[0011] Preferably, the breaking up knives are distributed in a spiral shape on the breaking up axis.

[0012] Preferably, the breaking up mechanism is provided with a first connecting frame for connecting to the conveying mechanism, and the cooling device is provided with a second connecting frame for connecting to the conveying mechanism.

[0013] Preferably, the cooling device is rotatably connected to the second connecting frame via a rotating shaft.

[0014] Preferably, when the breaking mechanism receives the lees delivered from above, the protective cover is further provided with an upward opening.

[0015] By adopting this technical solution, the fan under the chain plate can cool the lees while the lees are being broken up by the rotation of the breaking knife when the lees are broken up by the breaking mechanism. The lees are then cooled by the cooling device aligned with the breaking mechanism, thus preventing the lees from being too thickly accumulated on the chain plate and not being cooled properly.

[0016] The cooling device is rotatably arranged through the second connecting frame, and the angle of the cooling air blowing can be specifically set according to the specific lifting height of the lees and other conditions, thereby enhancing the cooling effect.

[0017] The technical solution of the embodiment of the utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The utility model cools the lees by aligning the cooling device of the scattering mechanism to prevent the lees from being too thickly accumulated on the chain plate and the possibility of insufficient cooling;

[0019] 2. The utility model sets the cooling air blowing angle according to the specific lifting height of the lees and other conditions to enhance the cooling effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
