Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wine making, in particular to a wine making device. Background Art

[0002] Winemaking is a time-honored craft that converts grain into alcohol through fermentation. In traditional winemaking, the uniformity of the mixing of koji and grain is crucial to the quality of fermentation, directly impacting the taste and quality of the final wine. Traditional manual mixing methods are inefficient, uneven, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, often leading to insufficient contact between the koji and grain, which in turn affects the fermentation process. However, existing winemaking equipment still suffers from uneven mixing of grain and koji, which can lead to poor quality of the resulting wine.

[0003] Therefore, it is very necessary to invent a brewing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a wine-making device to solve the problem that existing wine-making devices still easily cause uneven mixing of grain and koji, which easily leads to low quality of the subsequent wine. A wine-making device includes a support frame, a rotating seat, a rotating support arm, a power shaft, a koji mixing chamber and a koji mixing device, wherein: the support frame is fixedly mounted on the ground, and the rotating seat is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame, the rotating support arm is rotatably mounted inside the rotating seat, and supports the koji mixing chamber inside the support frame; the power shaft is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the rotating support arm, and the koji mixing device is fixedly mounted inside the koji mixing chamber.

[0005] The koji mixing chamber includes a first chamber, a guide neck, a second chamber, a protective guide groove and an inlet and outlet, and the first chamber and the second chamber are connected by a guide neck; the top of the first chamber and the second chamber are both provided with a protective guide groove; the inlet and outlet are fixedly installed on the top of the two sets of protective guide grooves.

[0006] The koji mixing equipment includes a supporting shaft, a blocking end, a supporting intermediate body, a sweeping rod and a driving motor, and the blocking end heads are rotatably mounted at both ends of the supporting shaft, and the blocking end heads are fixedly mounted inside the two sets of material inlets and outlets; the supporting intermediate body is fixedly mounted in the middle position of the supporting shaft, and the sweeping rod is fixedly mounted on the outside of the supporting intermediate body, and the driving motor is fixedly mounted on the outside of the blocking end head, and its driving shaft is connected to the supporting shaft.

[0007] The koji mixing chamber as a whole is a funnel-shaped steel metal structure, and the diameter of the guide neck is smaller than the diameters of the first chamber and the second chamber, and the guide neck has a smooth transition to the first chamber and the second chamber; the protective guide trough adopts two sets of funnel-shaped double-layer metal structures; the koji mixing chamber as a whole can rotate, so that the grain and koji inside the first chamber and the second chamber can continuously move back and forth alternately, which has the following functions: ① Mixing grain and koji: The structural design inside the koji mixing chamber, such as the first chamber, the second chamber and the guide neck, allows the grain and koji to move back and forth alternately in the mixing chamber, and achieves uniform mixing through continuous rotation and flow, thereby promoting fermentation; ② Controlling material flow: The guide neck connects the first chamber and the second chamber, so that the material can flow between the two chambers. The diameter of the guide neck is small, ensuring a smoother transition of the material during flow, avoiding blockage or uneven flow problems; ③ Rotational mixing: The koji mixing chamber can rotate as a whole, so that the grain and koji can continuously alternate during the rotation process, ensuring that the materials are fully mixed in the chamber and improving the fermentation effect.

[0008] The supporting intermediate body and sweeping rod inside the koji mixing equipment are located inside the guide neck and are rotated by the driving motor, continuously hitting the grain and koji moving therein; the sweeping rods are used in number and are evenly arranged on the supporting intermediate body, and have the following functions: ① Promote the mixing process: the koji mixing equipment rotates through the internal supporting shaft and sweeping rod driven by the driving motor. This rotation process causes the sweeping rod to hit the moving grain and koji, promoting the materials to alternately move and mix inside the koji mixing chamber; ② Prevent material accumulation: Since the sweeping rod continuously rotates and hits the material, it can effectively prevent the koji and grain from accumulating or agglomerating in the chamber, thereby maintaining the fluidity and uniform distribution of the material in the mixing chamber.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. The setting of the koji mixing chamber of the utility model has the following functions: ① mixing grain and koji:

[0011] The internal structural design of the koji mixing chamber, including the first and second chambers and the guide neck, allows the grain and koji to alternate back and forth within the mixing chamber. This constant rotation and flow achieves uniform mixing, thereby promoting fermentation. ② Controlling material flow: The guide neck connects the first and second chambers, allowing material to flow between the two chambers. The small diameter of the guide neck ensures a smooth transition during material flow, avoiding blockages or uneven flow. ③ Rotational mixing: The koji mixing chamber rotates as a whole, allowing the grain and koji to continuously alternate during rotation, ensuring thorough mixing within the chamber and enhancing fermentation efficiency.

[0012] 2. The setting of the koji mixing equipment of the utility model has the following functions: ① Promote the mixing process:

[0013] The koji mixing equipment rotates via an internal support shaft and sweeping rod driven by a drive motor. This rotation causes the sweeping rod to strike the moving grain and koji, pushing the materials into alternating motion and mixing within the koji mixing chamber. Secondly, preventing material accumulation: The sweeping rod's continuous rotation and striking of the material effectively prevents the koji and grain from accumulating or clumping within the chamber, thereby maintaining fluidity and even distribution of the materials within the mixing chamber.

[0019] As attached Figure 1 To the attached Figure 2 shown.

[0020] The utility model provides a wine-making device, including a supporting frame 1, a rotating base 2, a rotating support arm 3, a power shaft 4, a koji mixing chamber 5 and a koji mixing device 6, wherein: the supporting frame 1 is fixedly installed on the ground, and the rotating base 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the supporting frame 1, the rotating support arm 3 is rotatably installed inside the rotating base 2, and supports the koji mixing chamber 5 inside the supporting frame 1; the power shaft 4 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the rotating support arm 3, and the koji mixing device 6 is fixedly installed inside the koji mixing chamber 5.

[0021] The koji mixing chamber 5 includes a first chamber 51, a guide neck 52, a second chamber 53, a protective guide groove 54 and an inlet and outlet port 55, and the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53 are connected by the guide neck 52; the top of the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53 are both provided with a protective guide groove 54; the inlet and outlet port 55 is fixedly installed on the top of the two groups of protective guide grooves 54.

[0022] The koji mixing equipment 6 includes a support shaft 61, a blocking end 62, a support intermediate body 63, a sweeping rod 64 and a drive motor 65, and the blocking end 62 is rotatably installed at both ends of the support shaft 61, and the blocking end 62 is fixedly installed inside the two groups of material inlets and outlets 55; the support intermediate body 63 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the support shaft 61, and the sweeping rod 64 is fixedly installed on the outside of the support intermediate body 63, and the drive motor 65 is fixedly installed on the outside of the blocking end 62, and its drive shaft is connected to the support shaft 61.

[0023] The koji mixing chamber 5 as a whole is a funnel-shaped steel metal structure, and the diameter of the guide neck 52 is smaller than the diameters of the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53, and the guide neck 52 has a smooth transition with the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53; the protective guide trough 54 adopts two sets of funnel-shaped double-layer metal structures; the koji mixing chamber 5 as a whole can rotate, so that the grain and koji inside the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53 can continuously move back and forth alternately.

[0024] The supporting intermediate body 63 and the sweeping rod 64 inside the koji mixing device 6 are located inside the guide neck 52, and are rotated by the drive motor 65, continuously hitting the grain and koji moving therein; the sweeping rod 64 is provided in plurality and is evenly arranged on the supporting intermediate body 63.

[0025] The koji mixing device 6 is a key component in the winemaking device. Its main function is to fully mix the koji and grain to ensure the smooth progress of the fermentation process. The device achieves efficient and uniform mixing through a series of mechanical actions. The following is its detailed working principle:

[0026] 1. Drive motor 65 to drive the rotation

[0027] When the work starts, the driving motor 65 is started, and the supporting shaft 61 is driven to rotate through the power shaft 4 connected thereto. The rotation of the supporting shaft 61 drives the core structure of the entire koji mixing device 6, such as the sweeping rod 64, to start operation.

[0028] 2. The striking and stirring action of the sweeping rod 64

[0029] As the support shaft 61 rotates, several sweeping rods 64 mounted on the support intermediate body 63 also rotate. The sweeping rods 64 are evenly distributed outside the support intermediate body 63 and extend deep into the guide neck 52 of the koji mixing chamber 5. As they rotate, the sweeping rods 64 continuously strike the koji and grain in the chamber.

[0030] This beating process causes the grain and koji to flow between the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53 of the koji mixing chamber 5, prompting the materials to be continuously alternately mixed in the chamber, preventing accumulation or agglomeration and enhancing the mixing effect.

[0031] 3. Guidance and flow of the guide neck 52

[0032] The guide neck 52 of the koji mixing chamber 5 plays a role in guiding the flow of materials. The diameter of the guide neck 52 is smaller than that of the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53. It can slow down the flow rate when the koji and grain pass through, thereby forming a smooth transition and making the materials more evenly mixed.

[0033] The rotation of the sweeping rod 64 and the guidance of the guide neck 52 work together to make the grain and the koji flow alternately in the entire koji mixing chamber 5, thereby achieving sufficient mixing of the materials.

[0034] 4. Sealing function of the plugging end 62

[0035] At both ends of the support shaft 61, sealing end heads 62 are installed inside the inlet and outlet ports 55 to prevent materials from leaking from the inlet and outlet ports 55 during the mixing process. The sealing design of the sealing end heads 62 ensures the closed nature of the mixing process, avoids material loss during the mixing process, and maintains the normal operation of the koji mixing equipment 6.

[0036] 5. Auxiliary mixing of rotating koji mixing chamber 5

[0037] The entire koji mixing chamber 5 can rotate, which further enhances the mixing effect. The rotation of the koji mixing chamber 5 enables the grain and koji to move in more directions while being struck by the sweeping rod 64, thereby increasing the alternating frequency of the materials and the uniformity of the mixing.

[0038] 6. Automation control

[0039] The koji mixing equipment 6 is usually equipped with an automatic control system, which can adjust the speed of the drive motor 65 according to different mixing requirements, and then control the rotation speed of the support shaft 61 and the sweeping rod 64. This flexible adjustment mechanism enables the koji mixing equipment 6 to adapt to the mixing requirements of different types of grains and koji.

[0040] Summarize

[0041] The working principle of the koji mixing equipment 6 is to drive the support shaft 61 and the sweeping rod 64 to rotate through the driving motor 65, and with the help of the striking of the sweeping rod 64 and the rotation of the koji mixing chamber 5, the koji and grain are fully mixed. Under the guidance of the guide neck 52, the material flows alternately between the first chamber 51 and the second chamber 53, forming an efficient mixing effect, ensuring the uniform distribution of koji and grain during the fermentation process, and improving the efficiency and quality of winemaking.

[0042] Utilizing the technical solution described in the utility model, or those skilled in the art designing similar technical solutions inspired by the technical solution of the utility model to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
