Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sauce-flavored liquor preparation, specifically to a material spreading and cooling device and a sauce-flavored liquor mash preparation system. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor), the distilled mash and steamed grains need to be spread out to cool evenly to a temperature suitable for microbial growth. In traditional processes, this cooling is done on the ground, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and results in poor temperature uniformity of the mash.

[0003] Currently, partially automated material spreading and cooling devices improve spreading and cooling efficiency by blowing air to cool the mash on the conveyor chain, but they also have problems such as poor temperature uniformity of the mash and inaccurate addition of distillate tails. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a material spreading and cooling device and a sauce-fermentation mash preparation system, which can solve the problem of poor temperature uniformity when spreading materials in automated material spreading and cooling devices.

[0005] The material spreading and drying device provided in the first aspect of this utility model includes:

[0006] conveyor;

[0007] The feed end is located at one end along the length of the conveyor belt.

[0008] The discharge end is located at the other end along the length of the conveyor belt;

[0009] The walking robot is positioned above the conveyor belt and can move along the length of the conveyor belt. The walking robot includes a first material turning section, a blower section, a thermometer, and a drive motor. The walking robot uses the first material turning section and the blower section to simultaneously turn and blow the material. After the thermometer detects that the temperature of the material has reached the set temperature, it stops turning or blowing the material on all or part of the material. The drive motor drives the walking robot to move along the length of the conveyor belt.

[0010] Through the above methods, the material spreading and drying device provided by the first aspect of this utility model, by setting up a thermometer to detect the temperature of the material in real time, and utilizing the first turning section and the blowing section to spread or blow air on all or part of the material, helps to ensure the accuracy of temperature control during the spreading and drying process of the mash, thereby improving the precision of process control. At the same time, the use of a walking robot to turn and blow air on the material reduces the labor intensity of spreading and drying, and helps to improve spreading and drying efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, the first turning section includes a turning drive motor and a turning rake. The turning rake protrudes from the bottom of the walking robot and can be driven to rotate by the turning drive motor. In this way, the turning drive motor drives the turning rake to turn the material, reducing labor intensity and improving turning efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the blower section includes an air inlet connected to an external centrifugal fan. By using a centrifugal fan to blow air through the air inlet, the blowing efficiency can be improved.

[0013] Optionally, the conveyor belt can be a plate chain conveyor. These methods ensure safe and stable material transportation, reducing losses and waste during transport.

[0014] Optionally, the walking robot also includes a tails pipeline connected to a storage tank for storing tails, allowing the tails to be added to the material. In this way, the walking robot can add tails to the material, reducing the labor required for manual tail addition.

[0015] Optionally, a flow detection unit and a valve are installed in the tail liquor pipeline. The valve adjusts its opening degree based on the detection results of the flow detection unit. In this way, the walking robot can adjust the amount of tail liquor added according to the detection results of the flow detection unit, thereby achieving precise addition of tail liquor.

[0016] Optionally, along the length of the conveyor belt, between the feeding end and the walking robot, a leveling section is also included. The gap between the leveling section and the conveyor belt is adjustable to adjust the thickness of the material. This method allows for adjustment of the material thickness, which helps improve the material spreading efficiency.

[0017] Optionally, a yeast-adding machine is also installed along the length of the conveyor belt, between the walking robot and the discharge end, to add yeast to the material. This method allows yeast to be added to the material after the drying process is complete, reducing the labor required for manual yeast addition.

[0018] Optionally, the material spreading and cooling device also includes a second turning section, which is located between the yeast-adding machine and the discharge end to turn over the material with added yeast. This method ensures that the yeast and material are thoroughly and evenly mixed, thus improving the automation level of the material spreading and cooling device.

[0019] A second aspect of this invention also provides a system for preparing fermented liquor mash, including the material spreading and cooling device described above. Through this method, the fermented liquor mash preparation system can ensure the uniformity of temperature of the material during the spreading and cooling process. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that the material used in the embodiments of this utility model is lees. In some embodiments, the material can be other suitable types of materials. This utility model does not limit the type of material.

[0028] <Equipment Composition>

[0029] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the material spreading and drying device 100 in an embodiment of this utility model. (Reference) Figure 1The material spreading and drying device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a conveyor belt 10, a feeding end 11, a discharging end 12, and a walking robot 20. The conveyor belt 10 is used to transport materials. The feeding end 11 and the discharging end 12 are located at opposite ends of the conveyor belt 10. The conveyor belt 10 transports materials entering from the feeding end 11 to the discharging end 12, where the materials exit. During the material transport process, the walking robot 20 performs operations such as turning and blowing air on the materials, thereby automating the material spreading and drying process, reducing labor costs, and improving spreading efficiency. Simultaneously, the materials on the conveyor belt 10 are exposed to the environment during the spreading process, facilitating the accumulation of microorganisms from the environment.

[0030] The structure of each component of the material spreading and drying device 100 in this embodiment will be described below.

[0031] <Walking Robot 20>

[0032] Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the walking robot 20 according to an embodiment of this utility model. (Combined with...) Figure 1 and refer to Figure 2 The walking robot 20 may include a first material-turning unit 21, a blower unit 22, a thermometer 23, and a drive motor 25. The walking robot 20 is positioned above the conveyor belt 10, and the drive motor 25 drives the walking robot 20 to move back and forth between the feed end 11 and the discharge end 12 along the length of the conveyor belt 10. The walking robot 20 can use the first material-turning unit 21 to turn the material on the conveyor belt 10, and can use the blower unit 22 to blow air onto the material on the conveyor belt 10. The walking robot 20 can acquire temperature data from the thermometer 23. When the thermometer 23 detects that the temperature of the material on the conveyor belt 10 has reached a set temperature, the walking robot 20 stops turning or blowing air onto all or part of the material. The set temperature can be the temperature of the material after it has been spread out, obtained based on experience or measurement analysis.

[0033] In some embodiments, the walking robot 20 may also be located on the side of the conveyor belt 10 and move in a direction parallel to the conveyor belt 10. This invention does not limit the location of the walking robot 20.

[0034] In the above manner, the material spreading and drying device 100 provided by this utility model, by setting a thermometer 23 on the walking robot 20 to detect the temperature of the material in real time, and using the first turning part 21 and the blowing part 22 to spread or blow air on all or part of the material, helps to ensure the accuracy of temperature control of the mash during the spreading and drying process, thereby improving the precision of process control.

[0035] Preferably, continue to refer to Figure 2The first turning section 21 includes a turning drive motor 211 and a turning rake 212. The turning drive motor 211 can be installed inside the walking robot 20. The turning rake 212 protrudes from the bottom of the walking robot 20 and is used to contact the material on the conveyor belt 10. The turning drive motor 211 can drive the turning rake 212 to rotate, so that the turning rake 212 can turn the material on the conveyor belt 10. In this way, by setting the turning drive motor 211 to drive the turning rake 212 to turn the material, the labor intensity of the spreading process can be reduced, which is conducive to improving the turning efficiency.

[0036] Preferably, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the blower section 22 in this embodiment of the utility model, combined with... Figure 2 and refer to Figure 3 The blower section 22 includes an air outlet 221, a cooling pipe 222, an air inlet 223, and a centrifugal fan 224. The air outlet 221 is located below the cooling pipe 222 and faces the material on the conveyor belt 10. The air outlet 221 is connected to the external centrifugal fan 224, which is also connected to the air inlet 223. Air enters through the air inlet 223, is blown by the centrifugal fan 224 onto the cooling pipe 222, and finally blown from the air outlet 221 onto the material. In this way, the walking robot 20 uses the centrifugal fan 224 to blow air through the air outlet 221 to cool the material, achieving uniform cooling of the mash and improving blower efficiency.

[0037] Preferably, Figure 4 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the walking robot 20 in this embodiment of the utility model, combined with... Figure 2 and refer to Figure 4 The walking robot 20 also includes a tails pipeline 24. The tails pipeline 24 is located at one end of the walking robot 20 and is connected to the storage tank 60 for storing tails. The walking robot 20 can add tails to the material through the tails pipeline 24. In this way, the walking robot 20 can add tails to the material during the spreading process, reducing the labor required for manual tail addition and improving the efficiency of tail addition.

[0038] Preferably, continue to refer to Figure 2 The tail liquor pipeline 24 is equipped with a flow detection unit 241 and a valve 242. The flow detection unit 241 can detect the amount of tail liquor added and send the detection result to the walking robot 20. During the spreading process, based on the detection result of the flow detection unit 241 and the process requirements, the walking robot 20 adjusts the opening of the valve 242 to allow the tail liquor to be added to the material through the tail liquor pipeline 24. When the amount of tail liquor added detected by the flow detection unit 241 reaches the set addition amount, the walking robot 20 closes the valve 242. The set addition amount can be the amount of tail liquor added to the mash obtained based on experience or measurement analysis.

[0039] In this way, the walking robot 20 can adjust the opening of the valve 242 according to the detection results of the flow detection unit 241, thereby adjusting the amount of wine tail added and achieving precise addition of wine tail.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The tailings pipeline 24 is also equipped with a tailings pump 243 and a tailings spray nozzle 244. The tailings pump 243 and valve 242 can work together. When valve 242 and tailings pump 243 on the tailings pipeline 24 are opened, tailings are delivered from storage tank 60 to tailings pipeline 24 according to the set addition amount of the flow detection unit 241, and are evenly sprayed onto the material through tailings spray nozzle 244, so as to achieve uniform addition of tailings to the mash. When the flow detection unit 241 detects that the set addition amount of tailings has been reached, valve 242 and tailings pump 243 automatically close, so as to achieve precise addition of tailings.

[0041] <Conveyor Belt 10>

[0042] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The conveyor belt 10 is a plate chain conveyor. The plate chain conveyor transmits power to the plate chain via a motor-driven reduction gear. The plate chain is used to carry and transport materials. Grooves are typically provided on the plate chain to facilitate securing the material onto the conveyor belt 10. The two ends of the plate chain are the feed end 11 and the discharge end 12, respectively. The motor drives the plate chain in a cyclical motion, causing the material to move from the feed end 11 to the discharge end 12 on the plate chain, thus achieving material conveying.

[0043] By using the above methods, we can ensure the safe and stable transportation of materials and reduce losses and waste during the transportation process.

[0044] In some embodiments, the feed end 11 is provided with a receiving hopper for receiving the mash output from the previous process. The discharge end 12 is provided with a discharge hopper for holding the mash after the spreading and drying process, so that the mash can enter the next process.

[0045] <Flat material department 30>

[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The material spreading device 100 also includes a leveling section 30. The leveling section 30 is positioned between the feed end 11 and the walking robot 20 along the length of the conveyor belt 10, and is used to adjust the thickness of the material. The leveling section 30 can move in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 10, adjusting the gap between itself and the conveyor belt 10, thereby adjusting the material thickness. Through this method, the material spreading device 100 can flexibly adjust the thickness of the material, which helps to improve the material spreading efficiency.

[0047] Specifically, the flat material section 30 can be a flat material auger, which can rotate efficiently and adjust the material thickness, thus improving conveying efficiency.

[0048] <Adding Curve Machine 40>

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The material spreading and drying device 100 also includes a yeast-adding machine 40. The yeast-adding machine 40 is positioned between the walking robot 20 and the discharge end 12 along the length of the conveyor belt 10. After spreading and drying, as the conveyor belt 10 passes the yeast-adding machine 40, the machine can add yeast to the mash on the conveyor belt 10 in a specific ratio. This method allows for the addition of yeast to the material after spreading and drying, reducing the labor required for manual yeast addition.

[0050] <Second Turning Section 50>

[0051] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The material spreading and cooling device 100 also includes a second turning section 50. The second turning section 50 is located between the yeast-adding machine 40 and the discharge end 12. After spreading and cooling is completed and the yeast-adding machine 40 has added yeast, the conveyor belt 10 passes through the second turning section 50, where the second turning section 50 can agitate the mash and yeast. Through this method, the yeast and mash can be thoroughly and evenly mixed, which helps to improve the automation level of the material spreading and cooling device 100.

[0052] Specifically, the second tilting section 50 may include a second tilting drive motor 211 and a second tilting rake 212, both of which are located near the discharge end 12. The working principle of the second tilting section 50 can be referred to that of the first tilting section 21, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] In some embodiments, an automatic cleaning system may also be installed on the material spreading device 100. After spreading is completed, the residual material on the conveyor belt 10 can be cleaned first, and then the automatic cleaning system of the material spreading device 100 can be turned on for automatic cleaning.

[0054] The working process of this utility model will be explained below in conjunction with its working principle.

[0055] The fermented mash enters the feed end 11 of the conveyor belt 10. The conveyor belt 10 starts and carries the material through the leveling section 30. The leveling section 30 adjusts the thickness of the material, spreading it evenly on the conveyor belt 10. After the conveyor belt 10 is full, it stops moving, and the walking robot 20 begins to move back and forth between the feed end 11 and the discharge end 12 of the conveyor belt 10. The walking robot 20 turns and blows air through the first turning section 21 and the blowing section 22. At the same time, based on the detection result of the flow detection section 241, the walking robot 20 controls the opening of the valve 242 so that the fermented mash in the storage tank 60 is added to the material through the fermented mash pipe 24 from the fermented mash nozzle 244. When the thermometer 23 detects that the material has reached the set temperature, the walking robot 20 controls the first turning section 21 and the blowing section 22 to stop turning and blowing, and the spreading and cooling process ends.

[0056] The conveyor belt 10 starts and drives the material through the yeast addition machine 40. The yeast addition machine 40 adds yeast to the material in proportion. The second turning part 50 fully mixes the yeast and the material. The material is output from the discharge port and sent to the next process.

[0057] This utility model also provides a system for preparing fermented liquor mash, including the material spreading and cooling device 100 as described above. Through the above methods, the fermented liquor mash preparation system can ensure the uniformity of temperature of the material during the spreading and cooling process, achieving precise temperature control.

[0058] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
