Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equipment for brewing sauce-flavored liquor, and in particular to a sauce-flavored liquor stacking and saccharification device. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of stacking saccharification is to enrich the microorganisms in the surrounding environment, thereby saccharifying the starch after cooking and gelatinization, producing various enzymes. Under the catalysis of these enzymes, precursor substances and aroma compounds characteristic of soy sauce aroma are synthesized, providing important microorganisms and enzymes for subsequent fermentation in the cellar. The effectiveness of stacking saccharification is directly related to the quality of the base liquor. Due to the limitations of the production process, soy sauce aroma baijiu requires a large area for stacking. However, the production areas of soy sauce aroma baijiu are mainly concentrated in the Chishui River basin of China, which is mostly mountainous, and the land available for industrial production is extremely limited. Therefore, a contradiction arises between scarce land and the need for a large stacking area.

[0003] The existing saccharification stacking method involves placing flat saccharification hoppers on a three-dimensional support frame. While this allows for multi-layered saccharification hopper arrangements to save space, this method of stacking saccharification hoppers on flat hoppers, forming a "pancake" shape with a large bottom area and low height, results in a large area of ​​the bottom of each saccharification hopper being in contact with the air. This prevents the inoculation of brewing microorganisms from the air, causing the mash to remain stagnant at the bottom and center of the stack during the stacking process. Consequently, saccharification is incomplete, severely affecting fermentation in the fermentation pit and leading to "drop-out" in subsequent batches. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a saccharification device for soy sauce-flavored liquor by increasing the stacking height of the saccharification pile, thereby reducing the bottom area of ​​the saccharification pile, and thus allowing the saccharification pile to have better contact with air and improving the saccharification effect.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a saccharification device for soy sauce-flavored liquor, including a three-dimensional support frame and a saccharification hopper. The three-dimensional support frame includes a bracket and a saccharification hopper bearing platform set on the bracket. The saccharification hopper bearing platform has at least two layers. Platform through holes are evenly arranged on the saccharification hopper bearing platform. The saccharification hopper bearing platform is set in a horizontal direction. A saccharification hopper is set on the saccharification hopper bearing platform. The saccharification hopper includes a hopper bottom and at least three hopper walls. The hopper walls are connected end to end to form a closed loop. The hopper bottom is set at the bottom of the hopper walls. Hoses are evenly arranged on the hopper bottom and hopper walls. The diameter of the hopper holes is less than 2mm.

[0006] Furthermore, the saccharification hopper has a rectangular structure and includes saccharification hopper casters located at the bottom.

[0007] Furthermore, the diameter of the through holes in the saccharification hopper support platform ranges from 0.5 to 1 cm.

[0008] Furthermore, it includes a saccharification hopper bearing boss set on the support, the saccharification hopper bearing boss is set in the vertical direction, the bottom of the saccharification hopper bearing boss is set on the support, and the saccharification hopper bearing boss is evenly distributed around the saccharification hopper bearing platform.

[0009] Furthermore, the bracket is equipped with casters at the bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the bracket is equipped with a universal wheel retainer.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In practical use, the presence of the bucket wall reduces the area of ​​the bottom of the saccharification pile inside the saccharification bucket. With a fixed volume, the height of the saccharification pile increases, thus changing its overall shape from a flat, "pancake-like" shape to a more three-dimensional one. Simultaneously, the evenly distributed holes on the bucket bottom and walls effectively improve the contact between the bottom of the saccharification pile and air, preventing incomplete saccharification at the bottom. The holes, with a diameter of less than 2mm, ensure effective contact between the saccharification pile and air while preventing leakage outside the saccharification bucket. This invention is particularly suitable for the saccharification process of soy sauce-flavored baijiu (Chinese liquor). Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the three-dimensional support frame of this utility model.

[0013] Figure 2 Is Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the saccharification hopper placed on a three-dimensional support frame.

[0014] The following are marked in the diagram: 10 saccharification hopper, 1 hopper wall, 2 hopper bottom, 3 saccharification hopper caster, 4 bracket, 41 saccharification hopper bearing platform, 5 bracket caster, 7 saccharification hopper limiting boss, and 8 caster retainer. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2This diagram illustrates an embodiment of a saccharification apparatus for Maotai-flavor liquor. The support frame 4 of the saccharification apparatus consists of six vertically arranged uprights and several horizontally arranged crossbars fixedly connected to them. The frame structure of the support frame 4 has four layers, each capable of accommodating two saccharification hoppers 10. Each layer of the support frame 4 is equipped with a saccharification hopper support platform 41, which is perpendicularly positioned to the uprights of the support frame 4. The saccharification hopper support platform 41 has evenly distributed through holes to ensure sufficient contact between the saccharification pile within the saccharification hopper 10 and the air. Generally, the preferred diameter of the through holes is 0.5-1 cm. Saccharification hopper limiting protrusions 7 are evenly distributed on the crossbars, extending vertically upwards. The limiting protrusions 7 prevent the saccharification hoppers 10 from slipping off the saccharification hopper support platform 41. The bottom of the support frame 4 is equipped with casters 5 for easy movement of the support frame 4. Furthermore, in order to lock the caster wheel 5 of the bracket when needed, a caster wheel retainer 8 can be provided at the bottom of the bracket 4 to lock the caster wheel 5 of the bracket.

[0017] exist Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the saccharification hoppers 10 are rectangular in structure, with eight hoppers 10 arranged in four layers, two per layer, and mounted on the support 4. Each hopper 10 has casters 3 at its bottom, allowing it to be removed horizontally from the saccharification hopper support platform 41. Each hopper 10 comprises four rectangular walls 1 and a rectangular bottom 2. The four rectangular walls 1 are connected to form a rectangular closed loop, with the bottom of the loop sealed by the bottom 2. Holes are evenly distributed on the walls 1 and bottom 2, with a diameter less than 2 mm. The reason for choosing a hole diameter less than 2 mm is that if the hole diameter were too large, the mash would leak out. The four rectangular bucket walls 1 are connected to form a rectangular closed loop, which changes the shape of the saccharification pile formed by the mash from the previous flat "pancake" shape to a shape with a smaller bottom area and a higher shape. Through the bucket bottom 2 and the bucket holes of the bucket wall 1, the contact effect between the saccharification pile, especially the bottom saccharification pile, and the air is effectively guaranteed, thereby preventing the bottom saccharification pile from being insufficiently saccharified.
