Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing technology, and more specifically, to a baijiu (Chinese liquor) production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of baijiu (Chinese liquor), the grains need to be steamed in a traditional earthen pot during the raw material processing stage. Currently, when steaming grains, they are usually placed in a cooking still, and water is added to the still to soak and cook the grains. After the grains are cooked, the water in the cooking still is drained, and steam is introduced into the earthen pot to steam the grains in the cooking still. To prevent steam from escaping during the steaming process and affecting the steaming effect, a water seal trough is usually installed in the earthen pot to seal the cooking still.
[0003] However, the applicant discovered in actual production that after the grain was steamed, the water seal trough created a negative pressure inside the steamer. When the steamer was lifted out, the steamer grate was easily deformed under atmospheric pressure, causing the grain to leak into the pot. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a liquor production equipment that can improve the problem that the steaming grate is easily deformed under atmospheric pressure when the traditional grain steaming steamer is lifted.
[0005] The embodiments of this utility model can be implemented as follows:
[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a liquor production equipment, including a still body and a still grate disposed at the bottom of the still body.

[0030] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0031] In the production of baijiu (Chinese liquor), the grain raw materials need to be steamed, and currently, a steaming still is generally used for this purpose. After the grain is placed in the steaming still, it is placed in a ground pot, and water is added to the still to soak and cook the grain. After the grain is cooked, the water in the steaming still is drained, and steam is introduced into the ground pot to steam the grain in the still. To prevent steam from escaping during steaming and affecting the steaming effect, a water seal trough is usually installed in the ground pot to seal the steaming still and improve the steaming efficiency.
[0032] The water seal trough seals the grain cooking steamer. After the grain is steamed, a negative pressure forms inside the steamer. When the steamer is lifted by a crane or other hoisting equipment, the steamer grate is easily deformed by atmospheric pressure, causing damage to the grate structure. This results in the grain leaking into the bottom pot, wasting and contaminating the grain. Furthermore, it requires manual cleaning of the grain at the bottom of the bottom pot using shovels and other tools, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and affects the efficiency of liquor production.
[0033] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a liquor production equipment, which is applied to the liquor production process, specifically to the grain cooking process in liquor production.
[0034] The following describes in detail the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the liquor production equipment provided by this utility model through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The baijiu (Chinese liquor) production equipment provided by this utility model includes a ground pot 200 and a still body 100. The ground pot 200 is partially buried underground, and the still body 100 is movably placed inside the ground pot 200. A still grate 110 is provided at the bottom of the still body 100. The still grate 110 has a porous plate structure, which allows steam to pass through while preventing the grain from falling out of the still body 100. A still lid is also movably provided at the top of the still body 100 and can be fastened and fixed to the still body 100.
[0036] For further details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A ring-shaped water seal groove 210 is provided around the bottom of the pot 200. The water seal groove 210 is adapted to the bottom of the still body 100 and is used to accommodate the still body 100. The water seal groove 210 is filled with water to seal the still body 100. The liquor production equipment provided by this utility model also includes a water discharge pipe 300, a water tank 400 and a first control component 500. The water discharge pipe 300 is connected to the still body 100 and communicates with the water seal groove 210. The end of the water discharge pipe 300 extends outside the pot 200 to discharge the water in the water seal groove 210 to the outside of the still body 100. A water tank 400 is installed on one side of the steamer body 100. The end of the drain pipe 300 extends into the water tank 400. A drain pipe 410 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 400, so that the drain pipe 300 discharges water from the water seal tank 210 into the water tank 400, and further discharges it through the drain pipe 410. A first control component 500 is installed inside the water tank 400 and connected to the drain pipe 300. The first control component 500 is used to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 300.
[0037] During the grain steaming process, the first control component 500 controls the water discharge pipe 300 to disconnect, so that the water in the water seal trough 210 seals the steamer body 100. After the grain steaming is completed, the first control component 500 controls the water discharge pipe 300 to connect, so that the water in the water seal trough 210 is discharged into the water tank 400, and then discharged through the drain pipe 410, so that the steamer body 100 is connected to the atmosphere, and the negative pressure state of the steamer body 100 is released. This makes it easier for the hoisting equipment to lift the steamer body 100 away from the pot 200, and avoids the problem that the steamer grate 110 is easily deformed under atmospheric pressure when the steamer is lifted, which would cause the grain to leak into the pot 200.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 An insulation layer 420 is provided on the outer wall of the water tank 400 assembly. In this embodiment, the insulation layer 420 is 20mm thick. By providing the insulation layer 420, the problem of excessive heat loss from the steamer body 100 during grain cooking is prevented, thus avoiding heat waste. Furthermore, a water tank 400 cover (not shown in the attached drawings) is movably provided at the upper opening of the water tank 400, further reducing heat waste and achieving the effect of resource conservation.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some optional embodiments, the first control element 500 includes a first connecting rod 510 and a first lifting valve (not shown in the figure). The first connecting rod 510 is slidably disposed in the water tank 400 in the vertical direction, and the first lifting valve is disposed on the drain pipe 300, with the first connecting rod 510 connected to the first lifting valve. By driving the first connecting rod 510 to move in the vertical direction, the opening or closing of the first lifting valve is controlled, thereby controlling the on / off state of the drain pipe 300. Furthermore, to facilitate the movement of the first connecting rod 510, a crossbar is also provided at the top of the first connecting rod 510 for the operator to hold, thereby facilitating the operator to move the first connecting rod 510 in the vertical direction.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, a water inlet pipe 220 is connected to the bottom of the earthen pot 200. The water inlet pipe 220 is used to inject water into the steamer body 100, thereby soaking and cooking the grain inside the steamer body 100. A drain pipe 230 is also connected to the earthen pot 200, connecting the earthen pot 200 to the water tank 400. A second control component 600 connected to the drain pipe 230 is installed in the water tank 400, which is used to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 230. After the grain inside the steamer body 100 is cooked, the drain pipe 230 is opened by controlling the second control component 600 to drain the water in the earthen pot 200 into the water tank 400, and then discharged through the drain pipe 410 in the water tank 400. After the water in the earthen pot 200 is drained, the drain pipe 230 is sealed by the second control component 600, and steam is introduced into the earthen pot 200 to steam the grain inside the steamer body 100. Thus, the grain inside the steamer body 100 can be cooked and steamed using a single earthen pot 200, eliminating the need to transport the steamer body 100 to different workstations for separate cooking and steaming, saving processing time and improving processing efficiency.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 The second control component 600 includes a second connecting rod and a second lifting valve (not shown in the figure). The second connecting rod is slidably disposed within the water tank 400 in a vertical direction. The second lifting valve is disposed on the drain pipe 230 to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 230. The lower end of the second connecting rod is connected to the second lifting valve, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the second lifting valve by driving the second connecting rod to move in the vertical direction, and thus controlling the opening and closing of the drain pipe 230. Furthermore, to facilitate the operator in moving the second connecting rod, a crossbar is also provided at the top of the second connecting rod for the operator to grip, thereby facilitating the operator in opening and closing the second lifting valve.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2To facilitate the steaming of grain within the steamer body 100, a conical section 240 is provided at the bottom of the earthen pot 200. A steam coil assembly 250 is installed within this conical section. The steam coil assembly 250 is connected to an external steam generator via pipes to supply steam to the earthen pot 200, thereby steaming the grain within the steamer body 100. Furthermore, a safety net 260 with a mesh structure is also provided at the bottom of the earthen pot 200. The safety net 260 serves to separate the conical section, protecting the internal pipe structure without obstructing the flow of water and steam.
[0043] In summary, the implementation principle of the liquor production equipment provided by this utility model is as follows: During the grain steaming process, the first control component 500 controls the water discharge pipe 300 to disconnect, so that the water in the water seal trough 210 seals the still body 100; after the grain steaming is completed, the first control component 500 controls the water discharge pipe 300 to connect, so that the water in the water seal trough 210 is discharged into the water tank 400, and then discharged through the sewage pipe 410, so that the still body 100 is connected to the atmosphere, and the negative pressure state of the still body 100 is released, thereby facilitating the hoisting equipment to lift the still body 100 away from the pot 200, avoiding the problem that the still grate 110 is easily deformed under atmospheric pressure when the still is lifted, resulting in the grain leaking into the pot 200.
[0044] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
