[0044] Referring to Figures 1-6 An online brewing water conductivity monitoring device includes a pipe body component 1, an conductivity detection component 2 and a discharge valve component 3. The pipe body component 1 includes connecting pipes 11 and flow guide pipes 12. The connecting pipes 11 have eccentric portions 111. The connecting pipes 11 are symmetrically arranged in two groups. The two groups of eccentric portions 111 are opposite to each other and are connected by a communication pipe 13. The arrangement of the eccentric portions 111 can gradually reduce the path through which the brewing water flows to the communication pipe 13. The flow guide pipes 12 are arranged in a U-shaped structure. The two ends of the flow guide pipes 12 are respectively communicated with the two groups of connecting pipes 11. The communication pipe 13 is arranged to communicate the two groups of connecting pipes 11 and the flow guide pipes 12 with each other. The connecting pipes 11, the flow guide pipes 12 and the communication pipe 13 are integrally formed. The integrally formed arrangement can reduce the gap at the connection of different positions of the pipe body component 1, thereby reducing the risk of liquid leakage of the pipe body component 1.
[0045] One group of connecting pipes 11 is connected with external pipes, and the other group of connecting pipes 11 is connected with the discharge valve component 3, which is a pneumatic valve in the prior art. The opening or closing of the discharge valve component 3 can form a closed loop in the pipe body component 1, which facilitates subsequent operators to add materials for increasing or decreasing the electrical conductivity in the pipe body component 1, so as to enable the brewing water to be fully mixed;
[0046] The conductivity detection component 2 is arranged on the flow guide pipe 12, and the detection end of the conductivity detection component 2 is located inside the flow guide pipe 12. The conductivity detection component 2 is a conductivity detection sensor with communication function in the prior art. Since the brewing water in the pipe body component 1 is in a flowing state, the electrical conductivity of the brewing water can be detected in real time.
[0047] The aperture of the communication pipe 13 is smaller than that of the connecting pipe 11. The space in the small-diameter pipe is relatively small, and the foams are more likely to collide with each other when flowing in the space. When the distance between the foams is reduced to a certain extent, they will collide with each other. Therefore, the connecting pipe 11 not only serves as a communication pipe, but also can realize defoaming of the brewing water.
[0048] Based on the above structure, the two groups of connecting pipes 11 in the pipe body component 1 are respectively connected with two groups of external pipes, thereby realizing the effect of water inlet at one end and water outlet at the other end. Since the two ends of the flow guide pipe 12 are respectively connected with the two groups of connecting pipes 11, when water is poured in, the brewing water will flow along the flow guide pipe 12 and contact the conductivity detection component 2 located on the flow guide pipe 12 during the flowing process, so as to detect the initial electrical conductivity of the brewing water and enable the brewing water to be discharged into a tank that needs to be brewed through the connecting pipe 11 at the other end. When it is necessary to adjust the electrical conductivity in the pipe body component 1, the discharge valve component 3 is controlled and one group of connecting pipes 11 is blocked, so that the pipe body component 1 is in a closed loop state, which facilitates adjustment of the electrical conductivity of the brewing water. During the flowing process of the brewing water in the pipe body component 1, the brewing water flows through the communication pipe 13, thereby removing the foams in the brewing water, avoiding excessive foams from affecting the heat transfer efficiency and causing uneven fermentation temperature, maintaining stable process parameters, and realizing real-time detection of the electrical conductivity of the brewing water through cooperation of the pipe body component 1 and the conductivity detection component 2, thereby improving the stability of product quality.

[0051] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1-3 , the guide pipe 12 is further provided with a temperature detection component 6, the detection end of the temperature detection component 6 is located in the inside of the guide pipe 12, the temperature detection component 6 is located on one side of the conductivity detection component 2, the temperature detection component 6 is a temperature detection sensor with communication function in the prior art, because the increase of temperature can accelerate the thermal motion of water molecules, the movement speed of ions in the solution also increases, and the ions are more likely to migrate under the action of the electric field, thereby causing the increase of conductivity, therefore, by detecting the temperature of the brewing water in the pipe body component 1, the operator can adjust the conductivity.
