Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beer production technology, and in particular to a wort boiling pot for craft beer. Background Technology
[0002] Boiling beer wort is crucial for setting hot wort and is one of the most important steps in wort preparation. The quality of the boiling directly affects the quality of the finished wort.
[0003] Currently, some traditional wort boiling vessels often suffer from uneven heating during the heating process. For example, when using a simple bottom heating method, the wort temperature near the heat source rises rapidly, while the wort further away heats up more slowly. This uneven heating prevents the components in the wort from reacting fully, affecting the final taste and quality of the beer.
[0004] In addition, the existing wort boiling pots have relatively simple stirring mechanisms that cannot perform up-and-down stirring, which makes it difficult to effectively promote the mixing of wort and hops, thus affecting the extraction of effective components from hops. Therefore, this application provides a craft beer wort boiling pot to meet the needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a craft beer wort boiling pot to solve the problems of uneven heating and uneven stirring in existing wort boiling pots.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A craft beer wort boiling pot includes a boiling pot. A heating chamber is formed in both the side and bottom walls of the boiling pot. A steam distribution ring is fitted and fixed in the center of the heating chamber, surrounding the boiling pot. Several nozzles are evenly fixed on the upper and lower sides of the steam distribution ring. A servo motor is fixed to the top of the boiling pot. A drive rod extending vertically into the boiling pot is fixed to the shaft of the servo motor. A stirring blade for rotating along the bottom and side walls of the boiling pot is mounted on the drive rod. A tilting plate that can rotate vertically is mounted on the top of the stirring blade.
[0008] Optionally, the stirring blade has an "L" shaped structure and is fixed to the bottom of the drive rod.
[0009] Optionally, at least two stirring blades are provided, and the plurality of stirring blades are symmetrically distributed about the bottom of the drive rod.
[0010] Optionally, a rotating shaft is fixed in the middle of the flipping plate and horizontally fixed to the top inner side of the stirring blade.
[0011] Optionally, the steam distribution ring is exposed on the outside of the boiling pot, and two connecting pipes are symmetrically installed on the outside of the steam distribution ring.
[0012] Optionally, a fixing plate is fixed inside one of the connecting pipes, and a circular hole for steam to pass through is provided in the middle of the fixing plate, with a movable cap elastically covering the circular hole.
[0013] Optionally, a movable rod is fixed inside the movable cap, the movable rod passes through the circular hole in the middle of the fixed plate and is fixed with a mesh plate, and a return spring is sleeved on the movable cap.
[0014] Optionally, one end of the reset spring is fixed to the mesh plate, and the other end is fixed to the fixing plate.
[0015] Optionally, the boiling pot is fixed with a support frame, which is a tripod.
[0016] Optionally, a discharge pipe is installed at the bottom of the boiling pot, and a control valve is provided on the discharge pipe.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0018] In the above scheme, by setting up a heating chamber, a steam distribution ring, and a connecting pipe, the steam distribution ring can be used to quickly and evenly distribute hot steam into the heating chamber, thereby evenly boiling the beer wort inside the boiling pot. Combined with the stirring of the stirring blade, the uniformity of the wort boiling can be improved, which is beneficial to improving the taste and quality of the beer.
[0019] By installing a rotating flap on top of the stirring blade, the wort inside the boiling pot can be agitated as the stirring blade rotates, causing the wort and hops to mix thoroughly. This allows the active ingredients in the hops to dissolve fully into the wort, thus ensuring the taste and aroma of the beer.
[0020] In summary, this device not only heats evenly but also stirs evenly, thus improving beer quality to a certain extent. Attached Figure Description

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a craft beer wort boiling pot, including a boiling pot 1. The boiling pot 1 is fixed with a support frame 101, which is a tripod for support. A discharge pipe 9 is installed at the bottom of the boiling pot 1, and a control valve is provided on the discharge pipe 9 for discharging. In addition, in this embodiment, the boiling pot 1 is also provided with multiple feeding ports.
[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall and bottom wall of the boiling pot 1 are both provided with a heating chamber 2. A steam distribution ring 3 is fitted and fixed in the middle of the heating chamber 2. The steam distribution ring 3 surrounds the boiling pot 1. Several nozzles 301 are evenly fixed on the upper and lower sides of the steam distribution ring 3. The steam distribution ring 3 protrudes from the outside of the boiling pot 1. Two connecting pipes 4 are symmetrically installed on the outside of the steam distribution ring 3, so that the connecting pipes 4 can pass hot steam into the heating chamber 2. The nozzles 301 are quickly and evenly arranged in the heating chamber 2 for heating.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, a servo motor 5 is fixed to the top of the boiling pot 1. The shaft of the servo motor 5 is fixed with a drive rod 6 that extends vertically into the boiling pot 1. A stirring blade 7 for rotating along the bottom and side walls of the boiling pot 1 is installed at the bottom of the drive rod 6. The stirring blade 7 has an "L" shaped structure and there are two stirring blades 7, which are symmetrically distributed about the bottom of the drive rod 6.
[0037] Meanwhile, the top of the stirring blade 7 is provided with a tilting plate 8 that can rotate up and down, and the tilting plate 8 has a rotating shaft fixed in the middle and is horizontally fixed to the inner side of the top of the stirring blade 7.
[0038] Additionally, one of the two connecting pipes 4 has a fixed plate 401 inside, with a circular hole in the middle for steam to pass through.

Specifically, a movable rod 403 is fixed inside the movable cap 402, passing through the circular hole in the middle of the fixed plate 401 and fixed to a mesh plate 404. A return spring 405 is fitted on the movable cap 402, with one end fixed to the mesh plate 404 and the other end fixed to the fixed plate 401. Therefore, one connecting pipe 4 can be used for automatic pressure relief to prevent excessive pressure in the heating chamber 2.
[0039] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0040] When in use, the craft beer wort boiling pot can introduce hot steam into the steam distribution ring 3 through the connecting pipe 4, and use the nozzle 301 to quickly and evenly distribute the hot steam into the heating chamber 2, thereby evenly boiling the beer wort inside the boiling pot 1. In addition, the fixed plate 401 and the movable cap 402 can prevent the pressure inside the heating chamber 2 from being too high.
[0041] During the uniform heating process in the boiling kettle 1 using the heating chamber 2, the servo motor 5 drives the drive rod 6 to stir the stirring blade 7, improving the uniformity of the wort boiling process and thus enhancing the beer's taste and quality. Simultaneously, the tilting plate 8 located at the top of the stirring blade 7 rotates up and down, causing the wort inside the boiling kettle 1 to tumble and mix thoroughly with the hops. This ensures that the effective components of the hops are fully dissolved into the wort, thereby preserving the beer's taste and aroma.
[0042] In summary, this device not only heats evenly but also stirs evenly, thus improving beer quality to a certain extent.
