Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning beer production raw materials, in particular to a device for cleaning beer production raw materials. Background Art
[0002] During the beer production process, a basket washer is typically used to efficiently and thoroughly clean the primary raw material (i.e., malt) to ensure its purity and provide a high-quality raw material foundation for the subsequent fermentation and brewing processes. The basket washer is equipped with multiple cleaning tanks, each with a bubble-generating device at the bottom. These devices inject air into the water to produce a large number of bubbles. When the bubbles come into contact with the malt, they create a certain impact and scrubbing effect, helping to remove impurities and dirt from the malt's surface. As a key component of the basket washer, the main function of the basket is to flip the malt from one cleaning tank to the next, ensuring that the malt is evenly cleaned.
[0003] However, the existing technical solutions still have the following problems:
[0004] When malt is cleaned in a basket-turning washer, it's lightweight and easily clings to the basket after being wetted. This can leave residue when the basket turns the malt into the next washing tank. Once wetted, the malt's surface is wet and sticky, making it prone to clinging to the mesh and other structures of the basket. This residual malt requires reprocessing or manual cleaning, increasing production time and costs and reducing yield. Utility Model Content
[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a beer production raw material cleaning device to at least solve one of the problems raised by the background technology, such as: it can significantly reduce the residue of malt on the inner wall of the turning basket, thereby reducing the loss of malt, making it convenient for workers to quickly scrape off the malt and improving production efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a beer production raw material cleaning device, comprising a turning basket cleaning machine composed of multiple cleaning pools and a turning basket rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning pool, a U-shaped support bar is provided in the turning basket, both ends of the U-shaped support bar are rotatably connected to the turning basket, a scraper is installed on the outside of the U-shaped support bar, and the outer side of the scraper is fitly connected to the inner wall of the turning basket.
[0007] Furthermore: symmetrical fixing rings are fixedly connected to both sides of the flip basket mouth, and rotating wheels are fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped support bar, and the outer side of the rotating wheel is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring.
[0008] Furthermore: the diameter of the discs at both ends of the rotating wheel is larger than the diameter of the fixing ring, the fixing ring is located between the two discs, and the outer side of the fixing ring is fitted and connected to the surface of the disc.
[0009] Furthermore: one end of the rotating wheel is fixedly connected to a rotating handle.
[0010] Furthermore: the support rod of the rotating handle is arranged in a Z shape.
[0011] Furthermore: a card slot is provided on the outer side of the U-shaped support strip, and a card strip that is buckled with the card slot is fixedly connected to the inner side of the scraper, and the card strip and the card slot can be separated.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This utility model installs a scraper inside the turning basket. The scraper rotates to scrape off any malt adhering to the inner wall of the turning basket. Rotating the scraper effectively removes any malt adhering to the inner wall of the turning basket, preventing the malt from being fully cleaned due to residue during the cleaning process. The scraper's function is to reduce malt residue on the inner wall of the turning basket, thereby minimizing malt loss. With the scraper installed, operators no longer need to expend extra time and effort manually cleaning malt residue from the inner wall of the turning basket. This reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a beer production raw material cleaning device includes a basket turning cleaning machine composed of multiple cleaning pools and a turning basket 1 rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning pool. A U-shaped support bar 2 is provided in the turning basket 1, and both ends of the U-shaped support bar 2 are rotatably connected to the turning basket 1. A scraper 6 is installed on the outside of the U-shaped support bar 2, and the outer side of the scraper 6 is fitly connected to the inner wall of the turning basket 1.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a beer production raw material cleaning device in the utility model, when in use, the turning basket cleaning machine is composed of multiple cleaning pools, each cleaning pool is used for different cleaning stages, such as pre-washing, main washing and rinsing, and the turning basket 1 is rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning pool, used to carry malt and transfer it from one cleaning pool to another. The turning basket 1 allows the malt to be turned during the cleaning process to ensure that the malt is evenly cleaned. The U-shaped support bar 2 provides structural support for the scraper 6, and the scraper 6 rotates in the turning basket 1 to scrape off the malt attached to the inner wall of the turning basket 1, which helps to reduce malt residue and improve cleaning efficiency.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, symmetrical fixing rings 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the basket opening of the flip basket 1, and rotating wheels 5 are fixedly connected to both ends of the U-shaped support bar 2. The outer side of the rotating wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixing ring 4.
[0026] Specifically, through this arrangement, the wheel 5 rotates in the fixed ring 4. When the U-shaped support bar 2 is rotated by the force transmitted by the wheel 5, it will drive the scraper 6 to rotate in the turning basket 1. The rotation of the scraper 6 can scrape off the malt attached to the inner wall of the turning basket 1, thereby ensuring that the malt is thoroughly cleaned. The close fit between the fixed ring 4 and the wheel 5 ensures the stability of the rotation process.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the diameters of the discs at both ends of the rotating wheel 5 are larger than the diameter of the fixing ring 4. The fixing ring 4 is located between the two discs, and the outer side of the fixing ring 4 is fitted and connected to the surface of the discs.
[0028] Specifically, by setting up two discs, the wheel 5 is clamped in the fixed ring 4, preventing the wheel 5 from tilting during rotation, ensuring that the scraper 6 can smoothly scrape the malt on the inner wall of the turning basket 1, and realizing the stable rotation of the U-shaped support bar 2 in the turning basket 1.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, one end of the rotating wheel 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating handle 3.
[0030] Specifically, with this arrangement, workers can rotate the handle 3 on the outside of the turning basket 1 to drive the U-shaped support bar 2 to rotate inside the turning basket 1. Workers can quickly scrape the malt off the inner wall of the turning basket 1 and allow it to enter the next cleaning pool.
[0031] like Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the support rod of the rotating handle 3 is arranged in a Z shape.
[0032] Specifically, the Z-row arrangement of the rotating handle 3 can prevent the rotating handle 3 from contacting the side of the cleaning pool when rotating, avoid the situation where the rotating handle 3 cannot be rotated, and keep a certain distance between the rotating handle 3 and the edge of the cleaning pool.
[0033] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, a card slot 201 is provided on the outside of the U-shaped support bar 2, and a card strip 7 is fixedly connected to the inside of the scraper 6 and is snap-fitted with the card slot 201. The card strip 7 and the card slot 201 can be separated.
[0034] The scraper 6 here is made of soft silicone to prevent damage to the outer shell of the malt and protect the integrity of the malt. Specifically, through this setting, malt may be stuck in the scraper 6. Through the snap-fit connection and detachable setting of the card strip 7 and the card slot 201, the scraper 6 and the U-shaped strip 2 can be separated when necessary for cleaning to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0035] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
