Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brown rice cleaning technology, specifically a brown rice cleaning machine for liquor production. Background Technology
[0002] Rice wine brewing is a traditional craft with a long history, made primarily from rice through a fermentation process. This wine, also known as "sweet wine" in northern China, has a honey-scented, mellow, elegant, and pure taste with a rich, sweet flavor. In the production process, the rice is first soaked and steamed, then fermented with yeast. After a period of aging, the resulting rice wine is not only rich in nutrients but also possesses a unique flavor and aroma.
[0003] However, most existing brown rice washing machines are single-function, only capable of simple washing of brown rice and unable to separate grains by size. This limitation results in insufficient uniformity of the brewing raw materials, which in turn affects the even release of sugar and the even distribution of yeast during fermentation, potentially reducing the stability and consistency of the brewed product.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a brown rice washing machine for liquor production, including a first washing tank 1, a second washing tank 2 and a washing mechanism. A placement frame 3 is fixedly installed on the first washing tank 1 and the second washing tank 2, and a screening mechanism is installed on the placement frame 3.
[0027] The screening mechanism includes a screening drive motor fixedly connected to the placement frame 3. The output end of the screening drive motor is fixedly connected to a rotating disk 4. A fixed shaft 41 is eccentrically arranged on the rotating disk 4. A connecting rod 42 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 41. A connecting shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 42 away from the fixed shaft 41. A screening frame 44 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 43. Through the screening mechanism, brown rice can be automatically screened and separated by size, laying a solid foundation for uniform fermentation and distillation in the subsequent brewing process. Uniformly sized rice grains help to release sugar evenly and distribute yeast evenly during fermentation, thereby improving the stability and consistency of the wine.
[0028] In this embodiment, the screening mechanism also includes a first fixing block 47 fixedly connected to the first washing tank 1 and the second washing tank 2 respectively. Each first fixing block 47 is fixedly connected to a sliding shaft 46. The sliding shaft 46 is slidably disposed with the screening frame 44. A vibration spring 45 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding shaft 46. The vibration spring 45 is disposed between the screening frame 44 and the first fixing block 47. Specifically, when the screening frame 44 vibrates up and down to screen, the vibration spring 45 on the sliding shaft 46 increases the vibration effect of the screening frame 44, which makes it easier to screen smaller rice grains into the interior of the placement frame 3.
[0029] Example 2:
[0030] Based on Embodiment 1, a pushing mechanism is installed between Washing Pool 1 and Washing Pool 2. The pushing mechanism includes a No. 2 fixed block 6 fixedly connected to Washing Pool 2. A pushing motor 61 is installed on the No. 2 fixed block 6. A bidirectional lead screw 62 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pushing motor 61, and the bidirectional lead screw 62 is rotatably connected to the No. 2 fixed block 6. Two connecting frames 63 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 62. One connecting frame 63 is slidably connected to a No. 1 push plate 64, and the other connecting frame 63 is fixedly connected to a No. 2 push plate 65. By starting the pushing motor 61, the washing machine can automatically send the sieved rice grains into the corresponding washing area. This automation process greatly reduces the workload of workers and reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first push plate 64 is slidably disposed with the screening frame 44, and the second push plate 65 is slidably disposed with the placement frame 3.
[0032] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning motor 7 fixedly connected to a first cleaning tank 1. A first gear 71 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cleaning motor 7. Several rotating shafts 73 are rotatably arranged on the first cleaning tank 1 and the second cleaning tank 2. A second gear 72 is fixedly connected to each rotating shaft 73. The first gear 71 meshes with the second gear 72 on one of the rotating shafts 73. Several tumbling blades 74 are arranged on each rotating shaft 73. The tumbling blades 74 are respectively arranged inside the first cleaning tank 1 and the second cleaning tank 2.
[0033] The steps for the cleaning mechanism to clean brown rice are as follows: the cleaning motor 7 is started to drive the first gear 71 to rotate, the first gear 71 drives the second gear 72 to rotate, the second gear 72 drives the rotating shaft 73 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 73 drives the tumbling blades 74 to clean the rice in the first cleaning tank 1 and the second cleaning tank 2 respectively.
[0034] Both the No. 1 washing tank 1 and the No. 2 washing tank 2 are equipped with a discharge port 8 at their lower ends. A baffle 9 is installed on the discharge port 8. It should be noted that by opening the baffle 9, the washed rice can flow out of the discharge port 8 with the water flow. A collection container with a water filter hole is installed below the discharge port 8 to collect the rice. Both the No. 1 washing tank 1 and the No. 2 washing tank 2 are equipped with a support 10 at their lower ends.
[0035] Working principle: First, the sieving drive motor drives the rotating disc 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed shaft 41 to rotate. The fixed shaft 41 then drives the connecting rod 42 to rotate. The connecting rod 42, through the connecting shaft 43, drives the sieving frame 44 to move up and down along the sliding shaft 46. Rice is then poured onto the sieving frame 44. Smaller rice grains fall into the placement frame 3, while larger rice grains remain on the sieving frame 44. In this way, the rice grains are sieved before washing, ensuring that the particle size of the brewing raw materials is more uniform. This uniformity helps to achieve more uniform fermentation and distillation in the subsequent brewing process, thereby improving the stability and consistency of the wine.
[0036] Next, by starting the pusher motor 61, the bidirectional lead screw 62 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 62 causes the first pusher plate 64 to slide inside the screening frame 44, pushing the larger rice particles inside the screening frame 44 into the first washing tank 1. Moreover, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 62 also causes the second pusher plate 65 to move in the opposite direction to the first pusher plate 64 through another connecting frame 63, pushing the smaller rice particles inside the placement frame 3 into the second washing tank 2. Thus, the screened rice particles are automatically sent into the washing area without manual operation, reducing the workload of workers.
[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical methods of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical methods of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical methods of this utility model.
