Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wine brewing equipment, and particularly relates to a koji-sprinkling machine capable of controlling the thickness of koji. Background Art
[0002] Qu powder is ground koji. During the lees drying stage in the production process of Maotai-flavor liquor, koji powder needs to be evenly sprinkled onto the lees and thoroughly mixed with the lees. Traditionally, the koji powder is manually collected with a dustpan and then manually poured evenly onto the lees. Due to the presence of human factors, the uniformity of the koji powder varies both subjectively and objectively, indirectly affecting the fermentation quality of the lees. Furthermore, when manually spreading the koji powder, it is easily scattered into the air, resulting in a high dust content and a harsh working environment, which reduces the worker's work experience.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a koji spreading machine to replace manual koji spreading, so that the koji can be spread evenly while reducing the labor intensity of workers, reducing the flying of koji powder, and improving the working environment. Utility Model Content

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model is a koji spreading machine capable of controlling the thickness of koji, comprising a hopper 1, a wheel shaft 2 is mounted at the bottom of the hopper 1, a sensor turntable 3 is fixedly mounted at one end of the wheel shaft 2, wheels 4 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the wheel shaft 2, a speed sensor 5 is mounted on the hopper 1, and an output end of the speed sensor 5 corresponds to the sensor turntable 3;
[0029] The hopper 1 is rotatably mounted with a driving sprocket shaft 6 and a driven sprocket shaft 7, and the driving sprocket shaft 6 and the driven sprocket shaft 7 are matched with a chain plate 8. The hopper 1 is mounted with a servo motor 9, and the output end of the servo motor 9 is connected to the driving sprocket shaft 6;
[0030] The hopper 1 is equipped with an electric control box 10 and a push rod 11. The speed sensor 5 is connected to the electric control box 10. The servo motor 9 is controlled by the electric control box 10. The push rod 11 is equipped with a manual adjustment knob 12. The manual adjustment knob 12 is electrically connected to the electric control box 10. The electric control box 10 is equipped with a start knob 13, a power indicator light 14, a thickness adjustment knob 15, a switch knob 16, a power supply 17 and a processor 18.
[0031] The output end of the hopper 1 is hingedly mounted with a discharge port 19, and the hopper 1 is provided with a chute 20. A silicone plate 21 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the discharge port 19, and the other end of the silicone plate 21 is slidably mounted on the chute 20;
[0032] The hopper 1 is equipped with an inclined plate 22 , and the inclined plate 22 is equipped with a material blocking plate 23 . The material blocking plate 23 is located on the upper side of the output end of the chain plate 8 .
[0033] In this embodiment, when using a koji-sprinkling machine capable of controlling the thickness of the koji, the koji powder is directly poured into the hopper 1 and falls on the chain plate 8. When a person pushes the hopper 1 to move, there are two ways of use according to the use requirements, namely, manual operation to discharge the koji powder and automatic operation to discharge the koji powder;
[0034] During manual operation, the switching knob 16 is turned to the manual operation position. At this time, the speed of the servo motor 9 is manually controlled. During the pushing process, the user adjusts the speed of the servo motor 9 on the thickness adjustment knob 15, and then adjusts the moving speed of the chain plate 8. If the movement is slow, the pushing of the koji powder is slow, and the amount of koji powder discharged from the discharge port 19 is small, and the thickness is thin. Manual operation is more flexible and can be fine-tuned according to actual conditions.
[0035] During automatic operation, the switch knob 16 is turned to the automatic operation position. At this time, the speed of the servo motor 9 is controlled by the processor 18. During the pushing process, the speed sensor 5 monitors the speed of the sensor turntable 3 in real time, that is, monitors the moving speed of the wheel 4, and feeds back the speed information to the processor 18. When the movement is slow, the servo motor 9 is controlled to reduce the speed. Conversely, when the movement is fast, the servo motor 9 is controlled to increase the speed. In this way, when the movement is slow, the chain plate 8 pushes slowly and the material is discharged slowly, and when the movement is fast, the chain plate 8 pushes quickly and the material is discharged quickly, thereby ensuring that the thickness of the koji powder dropped in the wine tank is uniform and achieving the purpose of controlling the thickness of the sprinkled koji.
[0036] Furthermore, the inclination angle of the discharge port 19 can be adjusted due to its hinged mounting structure. After the adjustment is completed, it can be fixed using screws or other structures. During the inclination adjustment process of the discharge port 19, the end of the silicone plate 21 connected to the discharge port 19 receives the force brought by the movement of the discharge port 19, and the other end moves in the chute 20 to adapt to the movement of the discharge port 19, so that the adjustment will not be interfered with and affect the discharge of the koji powder.
[0037] Furthermore, under the effect of the baffle plate 23, the koji powder will be congested in the gap between the baffle plate 23 and the chain plate 8 and will not be loose, thereby controlling the consistency of the amount driven by the chain plate 8 through this gap.
[0038] Preferably, a tensioning adjustment mechanism 24 is installed between the hopper 1 and the driven sprocket shaft 7. The tensioning adjustment mechanism 24 includes a moving plate 241 for rotatably mounting the driven sprocket shaft 7 and a support plate 242 fixedly mounted on the hopper 1. The moving plate 241 is provided with four sets of moving holes 243. The hopper 1 is fixedly mounted with a limiting column 244 located in the moving hole 243. The moving plate 241 is installed with an angle plate 245. An adjusting screw 246 is installed between the support plate 242 and the angle plate 245. The adjusting screw 246 is fixed at the angle plate 245. Both sides of the plate 245 are threadedly connected with nuts 247. With this design, the different positions of the loosening nut 247 and the adjusting screw 246 can fix the movable plate 241 at different distances from the support plate 242, thereby adjusting the different installation positions of the driven sprocket shaft 7 on the hopper 1, and then adjusting the distance between the driven sprocket shaft 7 and the driving sprocket shaft 6 to achieve the purpose of tensioning the chain plate 8. In fact, the structure of the tensioning adjustment mechanism 24 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0039] Preferably, a reduction gearbox 25 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 9, and the output end of the reduction gearbox 25 is connected to the driving sprocket shaft 6. Such a design can achieve the effect of speed control and precise positioning and starting and stopping, and can also amplify the low torque of the servo motor 9 and output high torque, thereby adapting to high-load application requirements. In fact, the selection of the reduction gearbox 25 and the installation method of the servo motor 9 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0040] Preferably, the hopper 1 is provided with a protective cover 26 on the outside of the servo motor 9. Such a design provides dust and collision protection while being less likely to cause mechanical injuries. In fact, protective measures may also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0041] Preferably, the inclined plate 22 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 27, and the baffle plate 23 is installed in the waist-shaped hole 27. Such a design can adjust the installation height of the baffle plate 23, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the distance between the baffle plate 23 and the chain plate 8. In fact, the installation structure of the baffle plate 23 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
[0042] Preferably, the hopper 1 is equipped with a supporting partition 28 in the space formed by the chain plate 8. Such a design can bear the downward pressure of the koji powder on the chain plate 8 and form a gap between the upper and lower chain plates to prevent the chain plate 8 from bringing out too much koji powder during rotation. In fact, the specifications and dimensions of the supporting partition 28 can also be considered according to specific circumstances.
