When this technical solution is in use, the nozzle continuously rotates to spray the hop extract and the two augers continuously flip the beer, so that the beer and the hop extract are fully contacted and mixed, thereby improving the utilization rate of the hop extract. With regard to the above technical solution, although this solution achieves full mixing of hops and beer, it is impossible to evenly contact the extract with the beer during stirring, which is inconvenient when used. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a beer brewing hop extraction and addition device to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. The present invention has a novel structure. When in use, the power mechanism drives the propeller to rotate, and the rotation of the propeller generates negative pressure inside the fixed cylinder. The negative pressure causes the beer to move from bottom to top, and while moving upward and tumbling, the extraction liquid is sprayed from a circular shape onto the inside of the beer flowing on the conical cover, and the beer falls on the fixed column for further collision and mixing.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: a beer brewing hop extraction and addition device, including a fixed seat, a barrel body is fixed on the top of the fixed seat, a conical barrel is fixed on the bottom of the barrel body, a power mechanism is fixedly installed on the bottom of the conical barrel, a propeller is installed on the power mechanism, a fixed cylinder is fixed inside the conical barrel, the fixed cylinder is fixedly installed inside the barrel body, an arc-shaped opening is opened on the fixed cylinder, and the propeller is rotatably installed inside the fixed cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, a liquid inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the barrel body, a fixing frame is welded on the top of the barrel body, and a lifting mechanism is fixedly installed on the fixing frame.

[0007] Furthermore, a movable column is installed on the lifting mechanism, a movable cylinder is fixed on one end of the movable column, an opening is opened on the top of the barrel body, and a feed pipe is fixedly installed on the movable cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable cylinder is movably installed inside the opening, and an oblique hole is opened on the bottom side of the movable cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, a support column is fixed to the bottom of the barrel body, a discharge pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the conical barrel, and a fixing column is fixed inside the barrel body.

[0010] Furthermore, a conical cover is fixed on the top of the fixed cylinder, and the diameter of the fixed cylinder is larger than the diameter of the movable cylinder.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0012] 1. This is a beer brewing hop extraction and addition device. When in use, the power mechanism drives the propeller to rotate. The rotation of the propeller creates negative pressure inside the fixed cylinder. The negative pressure causes the beer to move upward from the bottom. While moving upward and tumbling, the extraction liquid is sprayed from a circular shape into the interior of the beer flowing on the conical cover. The beer falls on the fixed column for further collision and mixing.

[0013] 2. This is a beer brewing hop extraction and addition device. The lifting mechanism pushes the movable cylinder into the interior of the fixed cylinder. When the beer rolls upward, the extraction liquid is directly sprayed into the beer. The upward rolling of the beer drives the extraction liquid to be fully stirred and mixed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a hop extraction and adding device for beer brewing, comprising a fixed base 1, a barrel body 2 is fixed on the top of the fixed base 1, a conical barrel 3 is fixed on the bottom of the barrel body 2, a power mechanism 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the conical barrel 3, the power mechanism 5 is a DC motor, and the DC motor drives the rotation of the propeller 16, the propeller 16 is installed on the power mechanism 5, a fixed cylinder 14 is fixed inside the conical barrel 3, the fixed cylinder 14 is fixedly installed inside the barrel body 2, an arc-shaped opening 15 is opened on the fixed cylinder 14, and the propeller 16 is rotatably installed inside the fixed cylinder 14, a liquid inlet pipe 7 is fixedly installed on the side of the barrel body 2, a fixed frame 8 is welded on the top of the barrel body 2, and a lifting mechanism 13 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 8, and the lifting mechanism 13 is a linear reciprocating electric push rod, which drives the movable cylinder 10 to move up and down.

[0021] In this embodiment, a movable column 12 is installed on the lifting mechanism 13, and a movable cylinder 10 is fixed at one end of the movable column 12. An opening 9 is opened on the top of the barrel body 2, and a feed pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the movable cylinder 10. The movable cylinder 10 is movably installed inside the opening 9, and an inclined hole 19 is opened on the bottom side of the movable cylinder 10. A support column 4 is fixed to the bottom of the barrel body 2, and a discharge pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the conical barrel 3. A fixed column 17 is fixed inside the barrel body 2, and a conical cover 18 is fixed on the top of the fixed cylinder 14. The diameter of the fixed cylinder 14 is larger than the diameter of the movable cylinder 10. After the movable cylinder 10 is movably installed inside the fixed cylinder 14, it is convenient to discharge the extraction liquid directly into the interior of the beer.

[0022] When the device is in use, first, beer is injected into the interior of the barrel body 2 through the liquid inlet pipe 7, and the power mechanism 5 is started to drive the propeller 16 to rotate. The propeller 16 rotates inside the fixed cylinder 14, and the rotation generates negative pressure inside the fixed cylinder 14. The negative pressure drives the beer to enter the interior of the fixed cylinder 14 from the arc-shaped opening 156. Under the push of the propeller 16, the beer moves upward, and the beer moves upward to the conical cover 18 and flows to the side. When the beer flows on the conical cover 18, the feed pipe 11 enters the extraction liquid into the interior of the movable cylinder 10, and is ejected through the inclined hole 19 at the bottom of the movable cylinder 10. The extraction liquid is circular. The extract is sprayed on the conical cover 18, and the extract contacts the beer, so that the extract contacts and mixes with the beer at different positions. The beer and extract flow from the conical cover 18 and are discharged onto the fixed column 17. The fixed column 17 causes the beer and extract to collide and mix. When the extract is added, the lifting mechanism 13 pushes the movable cylinder 10 into the interior of the fixed cylinder 14. While the beer rolls upward, the extract is directly sprayed into the beer. The upward rolling of the beer drives the extract to be fully stirred and mixed. After the mixing and adding is completed, the discharge pipe 6 is opened and the beer is discharged from the discharge pipe 6. The conical barrel 3 facilitates the downward flow and discharge of the beer.
