Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of liquor production, and particularly relates to a deodorized liquor distillation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production of liquor, whether it is malt liquor or grain liquor, there is certainly a step of "distillation". Distillation can be said to be the most common way to produce various kinds of liquor, because the alcohol content can be easily increased by distillation.

[0003] Distillation is one of the methods for separating different substances in a mixture. When a mixture is heated, the mixture will start to boil, and the proportion of substances that are more volatile in the vapor phase of the mixture will be higher than in the original mixture. When these vapor phases are collected and cooled into liquids, the proportion of substances that are more volatile in these liquids will of course be much higher than in the original mixture, which is distillation purification.

[0004] Whether a unique flavor liquor can be produced depends on not only the unique raw materials, but also the design of the distillation equipment.

[0005] The most unique thing about liquor is its pure flavor, and its unique flavor cannot be protected without the ancient distillation vessel - kettle distillation. Each unique structural detail of the kettle distillation design has an important influence on the characteristics of the liquor.

[0006] At present, domestic manufacturers all use traditional liquor production brewing processes to obtain spicy and stimulating liquor. The new liquor before being put into the barrel can be said to be the gene of the quality of the liquor, containing different acids, esters and other compounds that affect the flavor of the liquor. The new liquor obtained by ordinary distillation is generally very spicy and stimulating, and is not good to drink. Moreover, the presence of butyric acid will cause the product to have unpleasant odors such as vomiting. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0055] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this disclosure provides a distillation apparatus 1 for deodorizing spirits, including a copper distillation pot 2, a condenser 3, and at least one holding tube 4.

[0057] The copper distillation pot 2 is used to distill the liquor into liquor vapor.

[0058] In some embodiments, the distillation pot 2 may include a distillation vessel body 21 and a Lane arm 22.

[0059] One end of the Lane arm 22 can be connected to the outlet end of the distillation vessel 21, and the other end is tilted upwards, so that the liquor can form a certain differential reflux ratio of heavy components, efficiently separating the heavy components and light components in the liquor, avoiding excessive heavy components in the liquor, improving the quality and taste of the liquor, and shortening the distillation time of the deodorized spirits distillation equipment 1 to reduce energy consumption.

[0060] The distillation vessel 21 is used for distilling the wine.

[0061] In some embodiments, the distillation vessel 21 may include a pot structure 211 for storing and heating the wine.

[0062] For example, the portion of the pot body structure 211 in this disclosure that has a long-term liquid level can be made of stainless steel to improve the corrosion problem of the pot body structure 211.

[0063] In some embodiments, the distillation vessel 21 may further include an upper neck structure 212, which extends vertically in the Y direction, and the outlet end of the distillation vessel 21 is located on the upper neck structure 212.

[0064] For example, the upper neck structure 212 in this disclosure may be located on top of the pot body structure 211, with one end connected to the pot body structure 211 and the other end connected to the Lane arm 22. The upper neck structure 212 extends vertically along the Y direction to guide and condense the wine vapor at the top of the pot body structure 211.

[0065] The upper neck structure 212 can be made of copper-containing material, so that as the wine vapor rises inside the upper neck structure 212, the wine vapor can come into contact with the inner wall of the upper neck structure 212 and react fully with the copper, thereby enhancing the flavor of the wine after distillation.

[0066] In addition, after the wine vapor comes into contact with the upper neck structure 212, some of the heavy components in the wine vapor can flow back along the inner wall of the upper neck structure 212 into the pot structure 211. While reducing the heavy components in the wine product, the reaction between the wine vapor and the copper material can be strengthened by forming a certain reflux rate, thereby further improving the quality and flavor of the wine product.

[0067] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the upper neck structure 212 and the pot body structure 211 can be an integrated device.

[0068] In some embodiments, a cooling jacket 23 may be fitted onto the outer wall of the upper neck structure 212.

[0069] For example, the cooling jacket 23 can be wrapped around the outer wall of the upper neck structure 212 and a tight connection between it and the upper neck structure 212 can be achieved by welding.

[0070] The cooling jacket 23 can be connected to the cooling medium inlet pipe 24 and the cooling medium outlet pipe 25. The cooling medium flows into the cooling jacket 23 through the cooling medium inlet pipe 24, and after cooling the wine vapor, it flows out of the cooling jacket 23 through the cooling medium outlet pipe 25.

[0071] In this embodiment, the cooling jacket 23 can be fitted at the connection between the Lane arm 22 and the upper neck structure 212 to cool the vapor of the liquor, thereby enabling the liquor to form a certain differential reflux ratio of heavy components, efficiently separating the heavy components and light components in the liquor, avoiding excessive entrainment of heavy components in the liquor, improving the quality and taste of the liquor, and shortening the distillation time of the deodorized spirits distillation equipment 1 to reduce energy consumption.

[0072] However, this disclosure is not limited to this. The cooling jacket 23 can also be installed at any other position on the upper neck structure 212. The vertical section of the upper neck structure 212 is used to condense the esters in the wine vapor into liquid and flow back along the inner wall of the upper neck structure 212 to the bottom of the pot body structure 211. This prevents the esters from entering some structures downstream of the upper neck structure 212 (e.g., feed pipe 7, first discharge pipe 5, second discharge pipe 8, etc.) and solidifying upon cooling, thus causing structural blockage.

[0073] The condenser 3 in this disclosure is disposed outside the copper distillation pot 2 and downstream of the copper distillation pot 2, for receiving and condensing the alcohol vapor in the copper distillation pot 2.

[0074] Specifically, the condenser 3 in this disclosure is connected to the Lane arm 22 to obtain and condense the wine vapor in the Lane arm 22 to form a wine product.

[0075] At least one support pipe 4 is provided between the distillation copper pot 2 and the condenser 3. The support pipe 4 is arranged to meander upward along the vertical Y direction to transfer the liquid vapor in the distillation copper pot 2 to the condenser 3.

[0076] Specifically, the sustaining tube 4 in this disclosure can be connected to the Lane arm 22 to obtain the wine vapor in the Lane arm 22 and transfer it to the condenser 3 for condensation. The sustaining tube 4 can be connected to the end of the Lane arm 22 away from the distillation vessel 21. However, it is not limited to this; the sustaining tube 4 can also be connected to other areas of the Lane arm 22 besides the end away from the distillation vessel 21. For example, the sustaining tube 4 can also be connected to the lower middle part of the Lane arm 22.

[0077] It should be noted that the lower middle part of the Lane arm 22 refers to the part between the center of the Lane arm 22 and the end near the distillation vessel 21. The pressure of the liquid vapor in this part of the Lane arm 22 is relatively high, which can ensure the efficiency and uniformity of the liquid vapor received by the holding tube 4.

[0078] Of course, when the deodorized spirits distillation apparatus 1 of this disclosure is equipped with multiple holding tubes 4, a holding tube 4 can also be set at the lower middle part of the Lane arm 22 and at the end of the Lane arm 22 away from the distillation vessel 21, etc., to obtain spirits vapor of different strengths.

[0079] In this embodiment, the holding tube 4 is made of copper-containing material. When the liquor vapor rises along the holding tube 4, the liquor vapor can fully contact the meandering inner wall of the holding tube 4 and react with the copper. This reduces the consumption of artificial additives, thereby reducing the adverse effects of artificial additives on the quality of liquor products. At the same time, at least some of the structures in the equipment such as the distillation copper pot 2 and the condenser 3 can be replaced with copper-plated materials instead of pure copper (purple copper), thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the deodorized spirits distillation equipment 1.

[0080] Furthermore, by providing the maintaining tube 4, this embodiment of the present disclosure can better purify the odor carried by components such as dimethyl sulfide in the vapor of the liquor without adding artificial chemicals, and add various flavor and sensory characteristics to the spirit. These sensory characteristics are not only nasal and oral flavor sensations, but also a special enjoyment.

[0081] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the deodorizing spirits distillation apparatus 1 may include a first discharge pipe 5, one end of which is connected to the copper distillation pot 2, and the other end is connected to the condenser 3. A holding pipe 4 is disposed on the first discharge pipe 5, so that the spirit vapor can fully react with the copper material in the holding pipe 4 before flowing through the first discharge pipe 5 to the condenser 3. This not only purifies the odor carried in the spirit product and enhances its flavor, but also reduces or avoids repeated distillation of the spirit, thereby saving energy.

[0082] For example, the first discharge pipe 5 in this disclosure may be connected to the end of the Lane arm 22 away from the distillation vessel 21, but it is not limited thereto. The first discharge pipe 5 may also be connected to the part other than the end of the Lane arm 22 away from the distillation vessel 21, depending on the actual situation.

[0083] like Figures 2 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the deflavoring spirit distillation apparatus 1 may include an extraction apparatus 6 for improving the flavor of the spirit.

[0084] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the extraction apparatus 6 may include an inlet 611 and an outlet 612. The inlet 611 is located at the bottom of the extraction apparatus 6 and is connected to the copper distillation pot 2 to receive the vapor from the distilled liquor after distillation in the copper distillation pot 2. The outlet 612 is located at the top of the extraction apparatus 6. The vapor from the liquor entering the extraction apparatus 6 through the inlet 611 rises from bottom to top of the extraction apparatus 6 and exits the extraction apparatus 6 through the outlet 612.

[0085] The extraction device 6 can hold spices. When the wine vapor passes through the extraction device 6, it can extract the spices in the extraction device 6, so that the flavor substances in the spices that can be perceived by the nasal cavity are integrated into the wine vapor, thereby adding various flavor and sensory characteristics to the wine product.

[0086] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the extraction apparatus 6 may further include a cylinder 61 and an extraction basket 62.

[0087] The feed inlet 611 can be located at the bottom of the cylinder 61, and the discharge outlet 612 can be located at the top of the cylinder 61.

[0088] In some embodiments, an upper end cap 613 may be provided at the top of the cylinder 61, covering the top of the cylinder 61. The upper end cap 613 is partially hinged to the cylinder 61. By folding the upper end cap 613 upward, it can be folded to one side of the cylinder 61, thereby exposing the internal space of the cylinder 61. By folding the upper end cap 613 downward, it can cover the top of the cylinder 61.

[0089] In addition, the present disclosure may provide a handle on the upper cover so as to facilitate the folding of the upper cover 613 by means of the handle.

[0090] In some embodiments, the cylinder 61 may be provided with a manhole 614 with a viewing window to allow workers to observe the liquid level and boiling status inside the cylinder 61. The orthographic projection of the manhole 614 onto the extraction basket 62 may be located in the lower-middle part of the basket 62. However, this is not a limitation; the manhole 614 may also be located at the top of the cylinder 61, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0091] The extraction basket 62 is located inside the cylinder 61. The extraction basket 62 can be used to hold spices. The wine vapor is extracted with the spices so that the flavor substances in the spices that can be perceived by the nasal cavity are integrated into the wine vapor.

[0092] Multiple through holes can be provided on the periphery of the extraction basket 62, which penetrate the periphery of the extraction basket 62 so that the wine vapor can enter the interior of the extraction basket 62 through the through holes and be fully extracted with the spices.

[0093] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the soaking basket 62 in this disclosure can be a basket with perforated grid.

[0094] A handle may be provided on the top of the extraction basket 62. The handle is connected to the outer periphery of the extraction basket 62, and the top of the handle is higher than the top of the extraction basket 62. By providing a handle on the extraction basket 62, it is convenient to extract the extraction basket 62 using the handle.

[0095] It should be noted that, in this disclosure, one extraction basket 62 may be set inside the cylinder 61, but it is not limited to this. In this disclosure, two or more extraction baskets 62 may be set inside the cylinder 61. Each extraction basket 62 may contain different spices. By adjusting the position of each extraction basket 62, the extraction sequence between the wine vapor and different spices can be adjusted, thereby improving the top, middle and base notes of the wine product.

[0096] In some embodiments, the extraction apparatus 6 may further include a cap 63 disposed within the cylinder 61 for securing the extraction basket 62. The periphery of the cap 63 may be connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 61, and the bottom surface of the cap 63 may abut against the top surface of the extraction basket 62. The cap 63 may have multiple through holes, allowing the wine vapors, after extraction with the spices inside the extraction basket 62, to rise through the through holes to the outlet 612.

[0097] For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cap 63 in this disclosure can be a grille specification.

[0098] In some embodiments, the extraction apparatus 6 may further include a support 64 disposed within the cylinder 61 for fixing the extraction basket 62. The side periphery of the support 64 may be connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 61, and the top surface of the support 64 may abut against the bottom surface of the extraction basket 62. The support 64 may have multiple through holes, allowing wine vapor located at the bottom of the cylinder 61 to enter the extraction basket 62 through these through holes for vapor extraction with the flavorings.

[0099] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support 64 in this disclosure can be a grid specification.

[0100] It should be noted that the extraction apparatus 6 in this disclosure can be equipped with both a pressure cap 63 and a support 64 simultaneously. For example... Figures 4 to 6 As shown, when the extraction device 6 includes both a grid support 64 and a grid cap 63, the grid spacing of the grid support 64 and the grid cap 63 is relatively large. That is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the through holes on the support 64 and the cap 63 is relatively large. Thus, the cap 63 and the support 64 can have a large flow rate, avoiding the phenomenon of pressure buildup inside the extraction device 6. The wine vapor at the bottom of the extraction device 6 can pass smoothly through the spice layer in the extraction basket 62 and make full contact with the spices, thereby obtaining the desired flavor composition through full extraction.

[0101] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the extraction apparatus 6 may further include a tray 65, which is disposed above the extraction basket 62 and its side periphery is connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 61. Multiple connecting holes 651 may be provided on the tray 65.

[0102] like Figure 8 andFigure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the extraction device 6 may be equipped with multiple air-lifting cylinders 66, which are arranged at intervals. Each air-lifting cylinder 66 is open at both ends and hollow inside, forming a channel. In this disclosure, the top of the air-lifting cylinder 66 is lower than the discharge port 612. The air-lifting cylinder 66 is made of copper-containing material. As the wine vapor rises inside the extraction device 6, it passes through the air-lifting cylinder 66 and moves towards the discharge port 612. By providing air-lifting cylinders 66 inside the extraction device 6, this disclosure can enhance the reaction time of the wine vapor with the copper material within the extraction device 6, thereby better purifying the odor carried by dimethyl sulfide in the wine vapor and thus improving the quality of the wine product.

[0103] Multiple openings 661 can be formed on the peripheral sidewall of the air lifter 66. The multiple openings 661 are arranged around the periphery of the air lifter 66 and penetrate through the air lifter 66. By providing multiple openings 661 on the air lifter 66, the problem of slow flow rate of wine vapor inside the air lifter 66 due to its small inner diameter can be avoided.

[0104] It should be noted that the shape, size, and number of openings 661 on the air lifter 66 in this disclosure can be adjusted according to the rising volume of the wine vapor. The shape of each opening 661 on the air lifter 66 can be the same, but is not limited to this. This disclosure also allows for different shapes for each opening 661 on the air lifter 66, depending on the actual situation.

[0105] Furthermore, to prevent some of the alcohol vapor from leaving the air compressor 66 through the opening 661 at the bottom of the air compressor 66 before reaching the top, this disclosure allows for an appropriate increase in the wall thickness of the air compressor 66, i.e., an increase in the thickness of the sidewall of the opening 661. This increases the reaction time between the alcohol vapor leaving the air compressor 66 through the opening 661 and the sidewall of the opening 661, thus better purifying the odor carried by dimethyl sulfide in the alcohol vapor. Simultaneously, the increased wall thickness of the air compressor 66 extends its service life, thereby reducing the frequency of replacement and lowering maintenance costs.

[0106] It should be noted that when the extraction equipment 6 is equipped with both a tray 65 and an air riser 66, the air riser 66 can be installed on the tray 65.

[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the air lift cylinder 66 can be disposed within at least a portion of the connecting holes 651 on the tray 65. The air lift cylinder 66 can be integrally formed with the tray 65, but is not limited to this; alternatively, after the air lift cylinder 66 and the tray 65 are formed separately, the air lift cylinder 66 can be connected to the corresponding connecting hole 651 on the tray 65.

[0108] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the deodorized spirits distillation apparatus 1 may further include a feed pipe 7 and a second discharge pipe 8.

[0109] One end of the feed pipe 7 is connected to the feed inlet 611, and the other end is connected to the distillation pot 2. A holding pipe 4 can be installed on the feed pipe 7. The feed pipe 7 and the feed inlet 611 can be detachably connected via a flange, which enhances the stability of the connection between the feed pipe 7 and the feed inlet 611 while reducing operational risks and improving operational safety during distillation.

[0110] For example, the feed tube 7 in this disclosure may be connected to the lower middle part of the Lane arm 22.

[0111] In some embodiments, the feed pipe 7 may extend into the interior of the extraction apparatus 6, and the center of the portion of the feed pipe 7 located inside the extraction apparatus 6 coincides with the center of the bottom of the extraction apparatus 6. The feed pipe 7 located inside the extraction apparatus 6 is provided with a plurality of arrayed and spaced air holes, through which wine vapors exit the feed pipe 7.

[0112] For example, when the extraction device 6 is cylindrical, the portion of the feed pipe 7 located inside the extraction device 6 extends along the diameter of the extraction device 6. However, this is not the only possibility; the portion of the feed pipe 7 located inside the extraction device 6 may also be arranged around the inner wall of the extraction device 6, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0113] This disclosure improves the uniformity of wine vapor entering the extraction device 6 by aligning the center of the portion of the feed pipe 7 inside the extraction device 6 with the center of the extraction device 6, so that the wine vapor can fully extract the flavorings in the extraction device 6, thereby improving the flavor, quality and extraction rate of the wine product.

[0114] In some embodiments, a control valve may be provided at the end of the feed pipe 7 away from the extraction device 6. The control valve may be a pneumatic valve, but is not limited to this; it may also be a valve other than a pneumatic valve. The operator can control the flow direction of the wine vapor by controlling the opening and closing of the control valve.

[0115] For example, when the Lane arm 22 is simultaneously equipped with two or more pipes (e.g., the first discharge pipe 5 and the inlet pipe 7) for receiving and transmitting wine vapor to the condenser 3, wine vapor is allowed to enter the pipe by opening the control valve on one of the pipes. Wine vapor is prevented from entering the pipe by closing the control valve on the other pipe.

[0116] In this disclosure, one end of the second discharge pipe 8 is connected to the discharge port 612, and the other end is connected to the condenser 3. A holding pipe 4 can be installed on the second discharge pipe 8. The second discharge pipe 8 can be detachably connected to the discharge port 612 via a flange, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the second discharge pipe 8 and the discharge port 612 while reducing operational risks and improving operational safety during distillation.

[0117] A control valve can be installed at the end of the second discharge pipe 8 furthest from the extraction equipment 6. The control valve can be a pneumatic valve, but is not limited to it. The control valve can also be any valve other than a pneumatic valve. The operator can control the flow direction of the wine vapor by controlling the opening and closing of the control valve.

[0118] In some embodiments, when two or more pipelines for receiving and transmitting wine vapor to the condenser 3 are provided on the Lane arm 22, the present disclosure may also provide control valves on the Lane arm 22 and the pipelines.

[0119] Taking a 1-way discharge pipe 5 and a feed pipe 7 simultaneously installed on the 1-way arm 22, with the first discharge pipe 5 connected to the end of the 1-way arm 22 away from the distillation vessel 21, and the feed pipe 7 connected to the lower middle part of the 1-way arm 22 as an example, the control valve on the 1-way arm 22 is located on the side of the feed pipe 7 closer to the first discharge pipe 5. By opening the control valve on the 1-way arm 22 and closing the control valve on the feed pipe 7, it is possible to prevent alcohol vapor from entering the feed pipe 7 while allowing alcohol vapor to enter the condenser 3 through the first discharge pipe 5. When the control valve on the feed pipe 7 is opened and the control valve on the 1-way arm 22 is closed, it is possible to prevent alcohol vapor from entering the first discharge pipe 5 while allowing alcohol vapor to enter the extraction device 6 through the feed pipe 7.

[0120] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this disclosure, the deodorizing spirits distillation apparatus 1 may further include an extraction reflux pipe 9. One end of the extraction reflux pipe 9 is disposed at the bottom of the extraction apparatus 6 and communicates with the interior of the extraction apparatus 6, while the other end of the extraction reflux pipe 9 is disposed on the distillation copper pot 2 and communicates with the interior of the distillation copper pot 2. By providing the extraction reflux pipe 9, this disclosure allows the spirit liquid at the bottom of the extraction apparatus 6 to flow back into the distillation copper pot 2 for continued distillation, thereby enabling the aroma of the spices to be more thoroughly integrated into the spirit liquid.

[0121] In some embodiments, the deodorizing spirits distillation apparatus 1 of this disclosure can be used for the distillation of whiskey liquid, but is not limited thereto. The deodorizing spirits distillation apparatus 1 of this disclosure can also be used for the distillation of other liquids besides whiskey, depending on the actual situation.
