[0036] Implementation Method 1

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment, as an optional embodiment of the present application, discloses a wine distiller for potato wine, comprising a steamer 1, wherein the top of the steamer 1 is connected to a top cover via connecting bolts;

[0038] A support frame 2 is provided in the steamer 1. The support frame 2 includes a plurality of support plates 201. The support plates 201 are sequentially arranged along the height direction of the steamer 1. A support rod 203 is provided on the edge of each support plate 201. Each support rod 203 is provided with a support block 202. The support block 202 is provided with a clamping groove 204. The support rod 203 is clamped into the clamping groove 204, thereby clamping and connecting the support block 202 and the support rod 203.

[0039] Each of the support blocks 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steamer 1 by welding;

[0040] When in use, the support frame 2 at the bottom passes through two adjacent support blocks 202 and is then connected to the corresponding support blocks 202 by snapping;

[0041] A heating module 3 is provided on each of the support plates 201; and a plurality of reinforcing ribs may be provided on the back of each of the support plates 201 to improve the structural strength of the support plates 201;

[0042] It should be noted that a large number of hollow structures can be provided on the support plate 201, which can not only reduce the weight of the support plate 201 and the cost of the equipment, but also effectively increase the heat conduction area and improve the heat conduction efficiency.

[0043] The structure of the entire support frame 2 can be effectively simplified by the clamping connection between the support block 202 and the support rod 203; at the same time, the above structure is easy to assemble and disassemble, which can effectively reduce the maintenance difficulty of the equipment and improve the maintenance efficiency;

[0044] A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the steamer 1, through which waste materials after steaming wine can be directly discharged, which is beneficial to improving work efficiency.

[0045] The heating module 3 includes a heating box 301 and a sealing cover 302 that are sealed and connected. Connecting pipes 12 are provided on both sides of the heating box 301 along the radial direction of the heating box 301. At the same time, a plurality of air guide grooves 305 are provided in the heating box 301. The air guide grooves 305 are distributed in a concentric circle structure.

[0046] At the same time, an air inlet cavity 303 is provided on one side of the heating box 301, and an exhaust cavity 304 is provided on the other side. The air inlet cavity 303 and the exhaust cavity 304 are arranged symmetrically. The air inlet cavity 303 is respectively communicated with the inlet end of each of the air guide grooves 305, and the exhaust cavity 304 is respectively communicated with the outlet end of each of the air guide grooves 305.

[0047] In the above structure, not only can the water vapor be evenly distributed in the heating box 301, but also the moving path of the steam in the heating box 301 can be extended, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency;

[0048] Furthermore, a water collecting tank 11 is further provided in the steamer 1, and the wine distiller further includes a steam generator 4. A steam delivery pipe 5 is provided at the outlet end of the steam generator 4. A plurality of branch pipes are connected in parallel to the outlet end of the steam delivery pipe 5, and each branch pipe is respectively connected to the air inlet cavity 303 of each heating box 301; at the same time, a plurality of connecting pipes 12 are provided on the water collecting tank 11, and each connecting pipe 12 is respectively connected to the exhaust cavity 304 of each heating box 301;

[0049] A return pipe 6 is provided at the bottom of the water collecting tank 11, and the manifold is connected to the inlet end of the steam generator 4;

[0050] The above technical measures form a complete steam circulation path between the steam generator 4 and the steamer 1, thereby realizing the reciprocal utilization of steam; on the one hand, it reduces water consumption; on the other hand, the recycled water still has a certain amount of heat, and at this time the steam generator 4 only needs to consume a small amount of energy to maintain the temperature of the water vapor stable, thereby minimizing the energy consumption of the equipment;

[0051] At the same time, a plurality of condensation nets 13 are provided in the water collecting box 11, and a plurality of hanging rings are provided in the water collecting box 11, and each of the condensation nets 13 is connected to each of the hanging rings respectively;

[0052] The water collecting tank 11 can regulate the reflux flow of water vapor, thereby ensuring the stability of the water vapor flow rate. On the other hand, it can also reuse the heat of the water vapor in the water collecting tank 11, which is conducive to improving thermal efficiency. The condensation network 13 helps to improve the recondensation efficiency of water vapor, so that the water vapor returns to the steam generator 4 in the form of hot water, avoiding the water level of the steam generator 4 from being too low, and helping to maintain the normal operation of the steam generator 4.

[0053] The wine distiller also includes a condensation tank 7, which is further provided with an air guide pipe 8. The outlet end of the air guide pipe 8 is provided with a plurality of branch pipes in parallel. A plurality of condensation modules 9 are provided in the condensation tank 7. The structures of the condensation modules 9 are identical, and each includes a sealed condensation box 901 and a cover plate 902. A feed pipe 903 is provided on the top of the condensation box 901, and a discharge pipe 904 is provided at the bottom of the condensation box 901. Each feed pipe 903 is respectively connected to each branch pipe at the outlet end of the air guide pipe 8, thereby guiding the alcohol vapor into each condensation box 901.

[0054] At the same time, a wine outlet pipe 10 is provided at the bottom of the condensation box 901. The inlet end of each wine outlet pipe 10 is connected to each discharge pipe 904, so as to lead out the condensed alcohol.

[0055] A plurality of guide plates 905 are further provided in the condensation box 901. The guide plates 905 are divided into two groups. The two groups of guide plates 905 are respectively placed on the left and right sides along the flow direction of the alcohol. The two groups of guide plates 905 are staggered and are respectively connected to the inner wall of the condensation box 901.

[0056] At the same time, each guide plate 905 is provided with a notch for alcohol to pass through, and the notches are staggered to form an S-shaped movement path in the condensation box 901;

[0057] The above technical measures can effectively prolong the condensation time of alcohol vapor, avoid a large amount of alcohol vapor from being discharged from the wine outlet pipe 10, and improve the alcohol recovery rate.

[0058] Furthermore, a sealing ring 907 is provided between the condensation box 901 and the sealing plate. At the same time, a waterproof bag 906 is formed on the outer surface of the condensation box 901. The waterproof bag 906 is made of rubber or latex. The entire condensation box 901 is wrapped by the waterproof bag 906, thereby preventing the condensation box 901 from leaking and ensuring the recovery rate of alcohol.

[0059] The condensation tank 7 is filled with cooling water, and the cooling water immerses each of the condensation modules 9; at the same time, a water supply pipe is also provided on the top of the condensation tank 7;

[0060] The cooling water is added to the condensation tank 7 in time through the water supply pipe, which can effectively ensure the working efficiency of the condensation tank 7;

[0061] A circulation pipe 16 and a drain pipe are further provided at the bottom of the condensation tank 7. The wine distiller further comprises a buffer tank 14. The inlet end of the buffer tank 14 is connected to the drain pipe, and the outlet end of the buffer tank 14 is connected to the steam generator 4 via a water pump 15.

[0062] The outlet end of the circulation pipe 16 is connected to the water supply pipe through a connecting tee; along the direction of water flow, a circulation pump 17 and a heat exchanger 18 are sequentially provided on the circulation pipe 16, and a heating pipe is also provided on the buffer tank 14. The heating pipe is connected to the heat exchanger 18, and a circulation pump 17 is also provided on the heating pipe.

[0063] The circulation pipe 16 and the drainage pipe are also provided with regulating valves;

[0064] Under normal working conditions, a certain amount of heating water is stored in the buffer tank 14. When the water in the steam generator 4 is insufficient, the water in the buffer tank 14 is input into the steam generator 4 through the water pump 15, thereby replenishing the steam generator 4.

[0065] The buffer tank 14 can also carry excess condensed water in the condensation tank, thereby regulating the water flow in the entire system;

[0066] Under normal conditions, the condensed water in the condensation tank circulates continuously in the circulation pipe 16, while the water in the buffer tank 14 flows in the heating pipe, and heat exchange is achieved between the two water flows through the heat exchanger 18. On the one hand, the temperature of the condensed water is guaranteed, and on the other hand, heat is recovered and reused, thereby increasing the temperature of the water stored in the buffer tank 14, thereby reducing the temperature difference between it and the steam generator 4. When replenishing water to the steam generator 4, it helps to improve the working stability of the steam generator 4 and at the same time improve the thermal efficiency of the equipment.

[0067] When the wine distiller described in the present application is used, the potato wine stock solution that has undergone preliminary fermentation is poured into the steamer, and each of the heating modules is immersed in the potato wine stock solution; at the same time, the steam generator generates a large amount of high-temperature water vapor through heating, and the water vapor enters each heating module through the steam delivery pipe and heats the potato wine stock solution. The generated alcohol vapor enters the condensation tank through the air guide pipe and then enters each condensation module respectively. Alcohol is generated through condensation in the condensation tank and is finally discharged from the wine outlet pipe;

[0068] The present invention introduces a large amount of heat into each heating module through the flow of water vapor. At the same time, the heating modules placed at different heights can simultaneously heat different areas of the potato wine stock solution. Compared with the direct heating steamer method in the prior art, the present invention changes the heat conduction direction from outside-in to inside-out, thereby improving the heating efficiency.

[0069] Secondly, since the present application can heat potato wine stock solution in different areas at the same time, the temperature control of the potato wine stock solution is more precise and the response speed is faster, thereby better controlling the output rate of alcohol vapor;

[0070] Finally, compared with traditional open flame heating or other heating methods, the heat of this application is concentrated on water vapor, and the water vapor runs in a closed pipe, so it can effectively reduce heat loss. At the same time, by recycling and reusing high-temperature water, this application can effectively improve the thermal efficiency of the equipment and reduce the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0071] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
