Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of beer production, in particular to impurity precipitation equipment for beer production. Background Art

[0002] In the beer production process, impurity precipitation is a key step that is directly related to the quality and final taste of the beer. The beer fermentation process relies on brewer's yeast to utilize the fermentable substances in the wort to carry out normal life activities under certain conditions. Its metabolites eventually form beer. However, this process produces a variety of impurities, including yeast cells, proteins, polysaccharides, etc. If these impurities are not effectively removed from the beer, they will affect the clarity, flavor and stability of the beer. The existing beer impurity precipitation equipment has an unsatisfactory precipitation effect and has the following defects:

[0003] (1) Traditional beer fermentation tanks generally use filtration to remove sediment, but this method often discharges some yeast during the filtration process, resulting in a decrease in the amount of yeast in the fermentation tank, which in turn affects the fermentation effect and operation quality;

[0004] (2) Traditional beer fermentation tanks can generally only collect solid particles that settle at the bottom of the equipment. When some floating objects float on the liquid surface, it is difficult to collect them, which in turn affects product quality.

[0028] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an impurity precipitation device for beer production, comprising a tank body 1, a precipitation mechanism 2 for precipitating impurities in beer is disposed on the outside of the tank body 1, and a collection component 3 for collecting floating objects is disposed inside the tank body 1;

[0030] The sedimentation mechanism 2 includes a liquid inlet pipe 201, a C-shaped pipe 202, a water inlet pipe 203, a connecting pipe 204, a slag discharge pipe 205, a liquid discharge pipe 206, a first solenoid valve 207, a second solenoid valve 208 and a filter screen 209. The liquid inlet pipe 201 is connected and arranged on the outer wall of the tank body 1, the C-shaped pipe 202 is arranged outside the tank body 1, the water inlet pipe 203 is connected and arranged on the outer wall of the C-shaped pipe 202, the connecting pipe 204 is connected and arranged on the outer wall of the C-shaped pipe 202 and one end is connected to the interior of the tank body 1, the slag discharge pipe 205 is connected and arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1, the liquid discharge pipe 206 is connected and arranged on the side wall of the tank body 1, the first solenoid valve 207 and the second solenoid valve 208 are connected. 8 are respectively arranged on the outside of the slag discharge pipe 205 and the liquid discharge pipe 206, and the filter screen 209 is arranged inside the liquid discharge pipe 206. When in use, the liquid enters the interior of the tank body 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 201, and the liquid entering the interior of the tank body 1 will rotate inside the tank body 1. At this time, the centrifugal force generated by gravity and rotation is used to quickly precipitate impurities in the beer. After precipitation is completed, the second solenoid valve 208 is opened to discharge the liquid. When the liquid is discharged, the first solenoid valve 207 is opened to discharge the impurities. When the interior of the tank body 1 needs to be cleaned, clean water is injected into the water inlet pipe 203 and the C-shaped tube 202, so that the water is discharged into the interior of the tank body 1, and then the tank body 1 is cleaned.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the collecting assembly 3 includes a mounting frame 301 and a filter bag 302. The mounting frame 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body 1, and the filter bag 302 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting frame 301. The number of mounting frames 301 and filter bags 302 are both several and are evenly distributed around the axis of the tank body 1 at equal distances. When the liquid rotates inside the tank body 1, floating matter in the liquid will be collected by the filter bag 302, thereby improving the cleanliness of the liquid.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, an observation hole 4 is opened on the outer wall of the tank body 1, and a transparent plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the observation hole 4. Scale lines 6 are provided on the outer wall of the transparent plate 5. The observation hole 4 is long and the length direction extends along the height of the tank body 1. When in use, the user can observe the amount of liquid inside the tank body 1 through the scale lines 6, and can stop adding liquid in time.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a connecting rod 7 is bolted to the outer wall of the tank body 1, and a fixing ring 8 is welded to one end of the connecting rod 7. One end of the C-shaped tube 202 is located inside the fixing ring 8 and is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 8. When in use, the fixing ring 8 and the connecting rod 7 can fix the two ends of the C-shaped tube 202, thereby improving the stability of the C-shaped tube 202 when transporting water.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the tank body 1 is bolted with support legs 9 , and there are four support legs 9 that are evenly distributed. When in use, the support legs 9 can support the tank body 1 , thereby facilitating the discharge of impurities from the slag discharge pipe 205 .

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, a nozzle 10 is provided inside the tank body 1, and one end of the nozzle 10 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 204. When in use, water passes through the connecting pipe 204 and then enters the interior of the tank body 1 through the nozzle 10, thereby increasing the contact area between the water and the tank body 1, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a cylinder 11 is provided at the top of the tank body 1, and an observation window 12 is hinged at the top of the cylinder 11. When cleaning the tank body 1, the user can observe whether the inside of the tank body 1 has been cleaned through the observation window 12, which increases convenience.

[0037] Specifically, when the impurity precipitation equipment for beer production is in use: liquid enters the interior of the tank body 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 201, and the liquid entering the tank body 1 will rotate inside the tank body 1. At this time, the centrifugal force generated by gravity and rotation is used to quickly precipitate impurities in the beer. At the same time, when the liquid rotates, floating objects in the liquid will be collected by the filter bag 302, further improving the cleanliness of the liquid. At this time, the user can observe the amount of liquid entering the tank body 1 through the transparent plate 5. When the expected amount is reached, the injection of liquid is stopped, and then it is allowed to settle for a period of time. After the sedimentation is completed, the second solenoid valve 208 is opened to discharge the liquid. At this time, the filter screen 209 can prevent impurities from being discharged. After the liquid is discharged, the first solenoid valve 207 is opened to discharge the impurities. When the interior of the tank body 1 needs to be cleaned, clean water is injected into the water inlet pipe 203 and the C-shaped tube 202. The clean water enters the interior of the tank body 1 through the nozzle 10, and then cleans the tank body 1.

[0038] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0039] The above embodiments are preferred implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious replacement without departing from the concept of the present technical solution is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
