[0002] In the distillation process of Maotai-flavor baijiu, the mash needs to be finely ground near the still before being loaded into it. The still lid is then closed, and the mash is connected to a liquid seal trough at one end and a cooling cylinder at the other before distillation. Water is added to the connections between the air passage, the liquid seal trough, and the cooling cylinder to achieve a tight seal; therefore, a liquid seal trough is located at the top of the still lid.

[0003] Currently, the liquid seal trough at the top of the still lid is in an open and exposed state. This causes some of the mash to splash into the liquid seal water during the mash refining process. Since the still lid is suspended by four sets of hooks and is quite heavy, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the mash in the liquid seal trough after each day's work in order to keep the liquid seal water clean. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, a protective cover and brewing apparatus are provided. The protective cover can prevent splashed mash from entering the liquid seal tank, effectively ensuring the cleanliness of the liquid seal water. When the liquid seal water needs to be replaced, simply use a food-grade clean towel to absorb the liquid seal water to be replaced and wipe it clean. There is no need to lift the still lid and perform a series of operations such as cleaning, which greatly reduces the difficulty and frequency of cleaning the liquid seal tank, effectively reduces the waste of manpower, and thus reduces the risk of personnel injury during the traditional cleaning of the liquid seal tank.

[0025] Currently, the liquid seal trough at the top of the still lid is in an open and exposed state. This causes some of the mash to splash into the liquid seal water during the mash refining process. Since the still lid is suspended by four sets of hooks and is quite heavy, a thorough cleaning of the liquid seal trough is necessary after each day's work to prevent mash buildup and maintain the cleanliness of the liquid seal water.

[0026] To solve the above problems, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This illustration shows a structural diagram of a protective cover provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 .

[0027] This application provides a protective cover with a liquid sealing groove at the top of the cover. The protective cover includes a blocking part 1 and a connecting part 2. The blocking part 1 is arranged in a ring shape and is used to cover the outer periphery of the liquid sealing groove. The connecting part 2 is arranged in a ring shape. One end of the connecting part 2 is connected to the blocking part 1, and the other end of the connecting part 2 is used to fit an air passage pipe and is connected to the air passage pipe. The diameter of the connecting part 2 gradually decreases in the direction away from the blocking part 1.

[0028] It is important to understand that the vent pipe is cylindrical and includes a main body and an extension. The extension connects to the liquid seal groove, and its diameter is larger than that of the main body. The extension and the main body are stepped together. A liquid seal groove is provided around the top edge of the steamer cover, and the liquid seal groove is annular.

[0029] The protective cover includes a barrier portion 1 and a connecting portion 2. The barrier portion 1 and the connecting portion 2 are connected, and the connection method can be welding or integral molding. This application does not impose any restrictions. In one example, the material of the barrier portion 1 and the material of the connecting portion 2 are the same, and the barrier portion 1 and the connecting portion 2 are integrally molded. The barrier portion 1 is annular and is used to cover the outer periphery of the liquid seal tank. The connecting portion 2 is also annular, and the diameter of the connecting portion 2 gradually decreases from one direction to the other. The large end of the connecting portion 2 is connected to the barrier portion 1, and the small end of the connecting portion 2 is fitted with the extension of the vent pipe, thereby connecting the connecting portion 2 to the vent pipe.

[0030] During operation, the connecting part 2 is connected to the extension of the vent pipe, and then the vent pipe is connected to the liquid seal tank. This allows the protective cover's enclosure part 1 and the connecting part 2 to cover the liquid seal tank, effectively preventing splashed lees from entering and accumulating in the liquid seal water. This keeps the water in the liquid seal tank clean. When the liquid seal water needs to be replaced, simply use a clean, food-grade towel to absorb the water to be replaced and wipe it clean. This eliminates the need to lift the steamer lid for cleaning and other related operations, greatly reducing the difficulty and frequency of cleaning the liquid seal tank, effectively reducing manpower waste, and consequently reducing the risk of personnel injury during traditional liquid seal tank cleaning. If only the connecting part 2 is present, it is easy for the liquid seal tank to be exposed if it is misaligned, resulting in poor coverage of the liquid seal tank. However, with the enclosure part 1, even if the connecting part 2 is misaligned, the enclosure part 1 can still cover the liquid seal tank, thereby improving the coverage effect.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This illustration shows a structural diagram of a protective cover provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 In some optional embodiments, the protective cover includes a first part 3 and a second part 4, which are arranged to form a protective cover. One circumferential end of the first part 3 is rotatably connected to one circumferential end of the second part 4, and the rotation axis is parallel to the extension direction of the connecting part 2. The other end of the first part 3 is detachably connected to the other end of the second part 4.

[0032] The first part 3 and the second part 4 form a protective cover. The area of ​​the first part 3 and the area of ​​the second part 4 may be the same or different, without limitation. In one example, the area of ​​the first part 3 and the area of ​​the second part 4 are equal. One circumferential end of the first part 3 is rotatably connected to one circumferential end of the second part 4, and the other end of the first part 3 is detachably connected to the other end of the second part 4. This allows the other ends of the first part 3 and the second part 4 to be opened, enabling the protective cover to unfold and thus preventing the protective cover from connecting with the extension of the vent pipe.

[0033] During installation, open the other end of the first part 3 and the other end of the second part 4, rotate the rotation shaft of the first part 3 and the second part 4 in the first direction to unfold the protective cover, put the protective cover on the extension of the air passage, and then rotate the rotation shaft of the first part 3 and the second part 4 in the second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, to close the protective cover. Then connect the other end of the first part 3 and the other end of the second part 4 to connect the protective cover to the air passage.

[0034] In some optional embodiments, one end of the first part 3 and one end of the second part 4 are connected by a hinge 5. The hinge 5 fits against the connecting part 2, and one side of the hinge 5 is connected to the first part 3. The connection method can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection, which is not limited in this application. The other side of the hinge 5 is connected to the second part 4. The connection method can also be a fixed connection or a detachable connection, which is not limited in this application. The hinge 5 can improve the smoothness of rotation between the first part 3 and the second part 4.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 Show Figure 2 The diagram shows a partially enlarged view of area A of the protective cover. In some optional embodiments, a locking assembly 6 is also included. The locking assembly 6 includes a rotating seat 61, a locking seat 62, and a locking member 63. The rotating seat 61 is located at the other end of the first part 3; the locking seat 62 is located at the other end of the second part 4 and corresponds to the rotating seat 61; one end of the locking member 63 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 61, and the other end of the locking member 63 is used to extend into the locking seat 62 and engage with the locking seat 62.

[0036] The rotating seat 61 includes two first protrusions located at one end of the first portion 3 in the circumferential direction. The first protrusions are disposed on the outer periphery of the first portion 3 and connected to the first portion 3. The connection method can be welding or integral molding, which is not limited in this application. The two first protrusions are spaced apart along the extension direction of the connecting portion 2, so that the rotating seat 61 has an inner cavity. One end of the locking member 63 extends into the inner cavity of the rotating seat 61 and is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 61 through a rotating shaft. The length direction of the rotating shaft is parallel to the extension direction of the connecting portion 2.

[0037] The locking seat 62 includes two second protrusions located at one end of the second portion 4 in the circumferential direction. The second protrusions are disposed on the outer periphery of the second portion 4 and connected to the second portion 4. The connection method can be welding or integral molding, which is not limited in this application. The two second protrusions are spaced apart along the extension direction of the connecting portion 2, so that the locking seat 62 has an inner cavity. The other end of the locking member 63 extends into the inner cavity of the locking seat 62 and is connected to the locking member 63, thereby connecting the other end of the first portion 3 to the other end of the second portion 4.

[0038] When the protective cover needs to be closed, rotate the rotating shaft to make the locking member 63 rotate and the other end of the locking member 63 rotate toward the locking seat 62 and extend into the locking seat 62 and connect with the locking seat 62. When the protective cover needs to be opened, take the other end of the locking member 63 out of the inner cavity of the locking seat 62, rotate the rotating shaft to make the other end of the locking member 63 rotate away from the locking seat 62.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the locking member 63 includes a rotating part 631 and a locking part 632. One end of the rotating part 631 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 61, and the locking part 632 is detachably connected to the other end of the rotating part 631. The projected area of ​​the rotating part 631 on the locking seat 62 is larger than the inner cavity area of ​​the locking seat 62.

[0040] The rotating part 631 is cylindrical. One end of the rotating part 631 extends into the rotating seat 61 along its length and is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 61. The other end of the rotating part 631 is used to extend into the locking seat 62 and is detachably connected to the locking part 632. The connection method can be threaded connection, riveting, tenoning or plugging, etc. This application does not limit the connection method. The projected area of ​​the locking part 632 in the locking seat 62 is larger than the inner cavity area of ​​the locking seat 62. When the protective cover needs to be closed, the rotating part 631 is located in the locking seat 62. At this time, the locking part 632 is connected to the rotating part 631, and the locking part 632 abuts against the locking seat 62, thereby preventing the locking part 63 from disengaging from the locking seat 62 and improving the stability of the connection between the locking part 63 and the locking seat 62.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the end of the rotating part 631 facing the locking part 632 is provided with an external thread, and the end of the locking part 632 facing the rotating part 631 is provided with an internal thread. The rotating part 631 and the locking part 632 are threadedly connected by the external and internal threads. That is, the locking part 632 is sleeved on the rotating part 631, and the position of the locking part 632 at the rotating part 631 can be adjusted by rotation, thereby adjusting the relative position of the locking part 632 and the locking seat 62, and thus adjusting the locking or opening relationship between the locking part 632 and the locking seat 62.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, the locking part 632 is provided with a through hole 6321, which extends through the locking part 632 along the thickness direction of the locking part 632, so that the operator's fingers can be inserted to make it easier for the operator to grasp the locking part 632 and rotate the locking part 632.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments, the locking part 632 is provided with anti-slip ridges on its periphery. This reduces the likelihood of the operator slipping and improves the ease with which the operator can rotate the locking part 632.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 In some optional embodiments, the connecting part 2 is also provided with an observation port, and the protective cover is rotatably connected to the observation port with an observation window 21. The observation window 21 is provided to observe the water level in the liquid seal tank and to add liquid seal water at any time. Even if the liquid seal water in the liquid seal tank sprays out due to excessive air pressure during the gelatinization process and fails to achieve the sealing effect, liquid seal water can still be added through this observation port without causing scalding.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the outer diameter of the enclosure 1 is 0.5cm-1.5cm larger than the outer diameter of the liquid seal groove, and the height of the enclosure 1 is 1.5cm-2.5cm, so as to facilitate the enclosure 1 covering the liquid seal groove.

[0046] Reference Figures 1-3 This application also includes a brewing apparatus, including the protective cover as described in any of the above claims, as well as a liquid seal tank, an air passage pipe, and a cooling cylinder, etc.

[0047] The top of the steamer cover is provided with a liquid seal groove. The protective cover includes a blocking part 1 and a connecting part 2. The blocking part 1 is arranged in a ring shape and is used to cover the outer periphery of the liquid seal groove. The connecting part 2 is arranged in a ring shape. One end of the connecting part 2 is connected to the blocking part 1, and the other end of the connecting part 2 is used to fit the air passage pipe and is connected to the air passage pipe. The diameter of the connecting part 2 gradually decreases in the direction away from the blocking part 1.

[0048] During operation, the connecting part 2 is connected to the extension of the vent pipe, and then the vent pipe is connected to the liquid seal tank. This allows the protective cover's enclosure part 1 and the connecting part 2 to cover the liquid seal tank, effectively preventing splashed lees from entering and accumulating inside. This keeps the liquid seal water in the tank clean. When the liquid seal water needs to be replaced, simply use a clean, food-grade towel to absorb the water and wipe it clean. This eliminates the need to lift the steamer lid for cleaning, significantly reducing the difficulty and frequency of cleaning the liquid seal tank, effectively reducing manpower waste, and consequently reducing the risk of injury to personnel during traditional liquid seal tank cleaning. If only the connecting part 2 is present, it may expose the liquid seal tank if it becomes misaligned, resulting in poor coverage. However, with the enclosure part 1, even if the connecting part 2 becomes misaligned, the enclosure part 1 can still cover the liquid seal tank, thus improving the coverage effect.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0050] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
