Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of brewing tools technology, and in particular to a device for breaking up fermented mash. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of baijiu (Chinese liquor), the mixture of lees obtained after grain fermentation is called lees mash. Lees mash contains a large number of yeasts and other microorganisms, which convert the sugars in the raw materials into alcohol and carbon dioxide during fermentation. The lees mash that has been spread out and cooled is divided and turned over to increase the cooling rate of the lees mash, reduce its acidity and moisture content, and make the lees mash ready for mixing with koji (fermentation starter) and inoculating with microorganisms.
[0003] The existing device for breaking up the fermented mash is a conventional wooden shovel. The wooden shovel has a concave area. When the wooden shovel turns over the fermented mash, the fermented mash tends to stay in the concave area of the wooden shovel. The wooden shovel has great resistance when moving forward during operation, and a large force is required to turn it over. At the same time, the wooden shovel needs to be completely tilted to achieve the turning effect, resulting in low efficiency in breaking up the fermented mash. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the aforementioned technical problems by providing a device for breaking up fermented mash ridges. This device utilizes the ridge of the ridge-breaking section to reduce resistance during the breaking operation, facilitating the segmentation and turning of the fermented mash and improving breaking efficiency. To achieve the above objective, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] The slag breaking device includes a shovel body, a front shovel disposed at the front end of the shovel body, and an operating lever disposed at the rear end of the shovel body; the shovel body includes a ridge and wing-shaped portions disposed on both sides of the ridge, the ridge trending from low to high along the front end of the shovel body to its rear end, and the ridge and the wing-shaped portions connecting to form a curved area.
[0006] Specifically, the wing-shaped portions located on both sides of the ridge are symmetrically arranged.
[0007] Specifically, the curved surface area is recessed or protruded relative to the shovel body.
[0008] Specifically, the two sides of the front shovel are flush with the two sides of the shovel body.
[0009] Specifically, the bottom of the front shovel is set in a horizontal direction, and the top of the front shovel is an inclined slope.
[0010] Specifically, the top of the front shovel is aligned with the top of the shovel body.
[0011] Specifically, the shovel body also includes a mounting base disposed at its rear end, the mounting base being connected to the ridge and the wing-shaped portion respectively.

[0026] To make the technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the exemplary embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not an exhaustive list of all embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] This embodiment provides a fermentation dregs breaking device for dividing and turning fermentation dregs. This device can also be used for turning other materials, and has a wide range of applications in agriculture or industry.
[0029] Existing wooden shovels have concave areas. Due to their inherent structural limitations, while wooden shovels can carry materials, they encounter significant resistance when pushing the fermented mash into the breaking and turning process. The material of the wooden shovel also makes it unsuitable for breaking fermented mash; the mash tends to adhere to the surface, requiring greater force and causing inconvenience. This embodiment improves the breaking device, as detailed below.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the slag breaking device includes a shovel body 1, a front shovel 2 disposed at the front end of the shovel body 1, and an operating rod 3 disposed at the rear end of the shovel body 1. The shovel body 1 includes a ridge 11 and wing-shaped portions 12 disposed on both sides of the ridge 11. The ridge 11 has a trend from low to high along the front end of the shovel body 1 to its rear end. The ridge 11 and the wing-shaped portions 12 are connected to form a curved area 13.
[0031] The wing-shaped portions 12 located on both sides of the spine 11 are symmetrically arranged. When the shovel body 1 applies a pushing force, the mash is divided by the spine 11. After being divided, the mash falls from the wing-shaped portions 12. The mash can smoothly detach from the shovel body 1 after passing through the curved area 13.
[0032] The curved area 13 is recessed or protruded relative to the shovel body 1. In this embodiment, the curved area 13 is recessed relative to the shovel body 1 as an example. The dregs can be diverted and slid down through the curved area 13, reducing the operating resistance of the shovel body 1.
[0033] In this embodiment, the front shovel 2, the shovel body 1, and the operating lever 3 are all made of metal, avoiding the impact of traditional wooden materials on the fermentation of the mash. The operating lever 3 can be operated via a handheld part 31 or by mechanical drive.
[0034] In another embodiment, openings (not shown in the figure) are provided on both sides of the shovel body 1. Specifically, the openings are located at the edges of the curved area 13 and face outwards. Several openings are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the trend direction of the ridge 11 on the wing-shaped part 12. When the mash slides through the curved area 13, it can quickly fall to the ground through the openings. At the same time, the mash passing through the openings breaks up the ridges during the turning process, improving the efficiency of breaking up the mash ridges.
[0035] In this embodiment, the front end of the shovel body 1 is provided with a front shovel 2, which smoothly transitions the mash to the ridge 11, reducing the resistance of the mash feeding. The shovel body 1 includes a ridge 11 and wing-shaped parts 12 provided on both sides of the ridge 11. The mash is divided by the ridge 11 and turned over by the curved area 13, which effectively reduces the resistance of the mash breaking the ridge and improves the efficiency of the mash breaking the ridge. The mash breaking device is provided with an operating lever 3, which improves the convenience of the device and makes it easy to operate.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] This embodiment optimizes the fermentation dam breaking device based on the above embodiments, especially by providing a specific implementation of the front shovel and operating lever:
[0038] The front shovel 2 is located at the front end of the shovel body 1, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the two sides of the front shovel 2 are flush with the two sides of the shovel body 1. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the front shovel 2 in the vertical direction is triangular, the bottom of the front shovel 2 is set in the horizontal direction, the top of the front shovel 2 is an inclined slope, and the top of the front shovel 2 is connected to the top of the shovel body 1, so that the mash can be transferred from the front shovel 2 to the shovel body 1.
[0039] The operating lever 3 is located at the rear end of the shovel body 1. The shovel body 1 also includes a mounting base 14 located at its rear end. The mounting base 14 is connected to the ridge 11 and the wing-shaped part 12, respectively. Specifically, the mounting base 14 extends along the rear edge of the shovel body 1. The mounting base 14 is used to mount the operating lever 3. One end of the operating lever 3 is detachably connected to the mounting base 14, and the other end of the operating lever 3 is provided with a hand grip 31.
[0040] A sleeve 15 is provided on the mounting base 14, and the end of the operating lever 3 is inserted into the sleeve 15. The connection between the operating lever 3 and the sleeve 15 can be a threaded connection or welding, which is not limited in this embodiment. The handheld part 31 has a triangular hollow tube structure for easy operation.
[0041] When the fermented mash breaking device is in operation, the bottom of the front shovel 2 is close to the ground, and the operating lever 3 applies a pushing force, so that the shovel body 1 is in an inclined state and moves in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the fermented mash breaking operation.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] This embodiment optimizes the fermentation breaking device based on the above embodiments, and in particular provides a specific implementation of the skeleton component:
[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the fermentation breaking device also includes a frame assembly 4 disposed at the bottom of the shovel body 1; the frame assembly 4 includes a main frame 41 and a secondary frame 42, one end of the main frame 41 extends to the front end of the shovel body 1, and the other end of the main frame 41 extends to the rear end of the shovel body 1; specifically, one end of the main frame 41 is connected to the front shovel 2, and the other end of the main frame 41 is connected to the mounting base 14.
[0045] A push wheel 5 is installed at the bottom of the main frame 41. The bottom of the push wheel 5 is at the same horizontal level as the bottom of the front shovel 2, and the push wheel 5 can support and move the shovel body 1. The push wheel 5 can effectively reduce the force applied to the operating lever 3, making the operation of the overall mash breaking device more convenient.
[0046] The sub-frame 42 is connected to the main frame 41 and the shovel body 1 respectively, and is used to strengthen the support strength of the main frame 41.
[0047] The frame assembly 4 also includes a crossbeam 43, which connects adjacent main frame bodies 41 to strengthen the connection between them. Depending on the spacing between adjacent main frame bodies 41, the push wheel 5 can be aptly installed on either the main frame body 41 or the crossbeam 43.
