Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a brewing equipment, specifically an automatic steaming robot, belonging to the technical field of brewing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the liquor brewing industry, distillation is the most critical step in the liquor production process. The quality of this step directly affects the quality and yield of the liquor. The steaming process is an important step in the distillation process, and the quality of the steaming technique directly affects the yield and quality of the liquor. With the development of the times, the steaming of the mash has gradually changed from traditional manual operation to automated robotic operation.

[0003] However, most existing automatic steaming robots have various problems. For example, in the automatic steaming feeding device disclosed in announcement number CN216964477U, although it can automatically mix the lees and bran materials without human intervention, and the entire mixing stage is completed automatically by machinery, effectively improving the mixing efficiency, in this technical solution and most current technical solutions, when steaming, the lees need to be placed in a storage box in advance. The material is output through the feeding guide structure on the storage box, such as a transmission rod with propeller blades. During the output process, the material moves due to the propeller blades, which generates a certain amount of squeezing force. This causes some material to be squeezed into lumps, which are not loose enough. The lumpy lees cannot complete the subsequent processing operations well, thus affecting the quality of the lees. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technologies are too simplistic. Specifically, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic steamer robot.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic steamer loading robot includes a base, a support frame, a steamer loading and storage mechanism, and a dispersing mechanism. The support frame is fixed to one side of the base, the steamer loading and storage mechanism is fixed on the support frame, and the dispersing mechanism is set on the base, with the steamer loading and storage mechanism located above the dispersing mechanism.

[0007] The steamer storage mechanism includes a guide cylinder and a storage box. The guide cylinder is tilted and fixed at the top of the support frame, and the storage box is fixed at the top of the guide cylinder. The internal cavities of the guide cylinder and the storage box are interconnected.

[0008] The disintegration mechanism includes a connecting rod, a disintegration disc, a guide rod, and springs.

The guide rod is slidably connected to the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod and is slidably connected to the protrusion and the base, respectively. The disintegration disc is inclined. Multiple springs are sleeved on the outside of the guide rod and are located between the connecting rod and the disintegration disc, and between the connecting rod and the base, respectively.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the disintegration mechanism also includes a fixed shell, a transmission rod, and an eccentric hammer. The fixed shell is fixed on the disintegration plate on the side near the support frame, the transmission rod is rotatably connected inside the fixed shell, and the eccentric hammer is fixed on the transmission rod.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the disintegration mechanism also includes a linkage plate, a second servo motor, and a belt. The linkage plate is coaxially fixed to one end of the transmission rod. A base plate is provided at the bottom of the second servo motor. One end of the base plate is rotatably connected to the base via a shaft. The belt is disposed between the linkage plate and the output shaft of the second servo motor.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: multiple transmission rods are provided inside the fixed housing, and driven gears are coaxially fixed on the transmission rods, with the driven gears on adjacent transmission rods having different diameters and meshing with each other.

The first servo motor is fixed to one end of the guide rod and the output shaft of the first servo motor is coaxially connected to the guide rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up a feeding and dispersing mechanism, the guide rod in the feeding mechanism rotates to directionally transport the lees in the storage box to the dispersing mechanism, and the rotation of the transmission rod in the dispersing mechanism drives the eccentric hammer to move in tandem, which in turn causes the dispersing disc to vibrate rapidly through the spring, thereby dispersing the lees. The inclined dispersing disc allows the dispersed lees to fall from one end of the dispersing disc into the still, completing the feeding operation. This avoids the problem of material clumping due to pressure during the feeding process, which would affect the quality of the brewed liquor. It is simple, efficient and practical.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0023] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an automatic steamer loading robot includes a base 1, a support frame 2, a steamer loading and storage mechanism 3, and a dispersing mechanism 4. The support frame 2 is fixed to one side of the base 1, the steamer loading and storage mechanism 3 is fixed on the support frame 2, and the dispersing mechanism 4 is disposed on the base 1, with the steamer loading and storage mechanism 3 located on one side above the dispersing mechanism 4.

[0024] The upper steamer material storage mechanism 3 includes a guide cylinder 31 and a storage box 32. The guide cylinder 31 is inclined and fixed at the top of the support frame 2, and the storage box 32 is fixed at the top of the guide cylinder 31. The internal cavities of the guide cylinder 31 and the storage box 32 are interconnected.

[0025] The upper steamer material storage mechanism 3 also includes a guide rod 33 and a first servo motor 34. The guide rod 33 is rotatably connected to the axis of the guide cylinder 31, and a spiral structure of paddle blades is provided on the guide rod 33. The first servo motor 34 is fixed to one end of the guide rod 33, and the output shaft of the first servo motor 34 is coaxially connected to the guide rod 33.

[0026] The dispersing mechanism 4 includes a connecting rod 41, a dispersing disc 42, a guide rod 43, and a spring 44. The connecting rod 41 is disposed between the connecting rod 41 and the dispersing disc 42. A protrusion is provided at the bottom of the dispersing disc 42. The guide rod 43 is slidably connected to the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 41 and is slidably connected to the protrusion and the base 1 respectively. The dispersing disc 42 is inclined. The spring 44 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 43. Multiple springs 44 are provided and are respectively located between the connecting rod 41 and the dispersing disc 42 and between the connecting rod 41 and the base 1.

[0027] The dispersing mechanism 4 also includes a fixed shell 45, a transmission rod 46, and an eccentric hammer 47. The fixed shell 45 is fixed on the dispersing plate 42 on the side near the support frame 2. The transmission rod 46 is rotatably connected inside the fixed shell 45, and the eccentric hammer 47 is fixed on the transmission rod 46.

[0028] In this utility model, by setting up a feeding and storage mechanism 3 and a dispersing mechanism 4, the guide rod 33 in the feeding and storage mechanism 3 rotates to directionally transport the lees in the storage box 32 to the dispersing mechanism 4. The rotation of the transmission rod 46 in the dispersing mechanism 4 drives the eccentric hammer 47 to move in tandem. Then, the spring 44 causes the dispersing disc 42 to vibrate rapidly, realizing the dispersing operation of the lees. The dispersing disc 42 is tilted so that the dispersed lees can fall from one end of the dispersing disc 42 into the still, completing the feeding operation. This avoids the problem of material clumping due to pressure during the feeding process, which would affect the quality of the brewed liquor. It is simple, efficient and practical.

[0029] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0030] The disintegration mechanism 4 also includes a linkage plate 48, a second servo motor 49, and a belt 410. The linkage plate 48 is coaxially fixed to one end of the transmission rod 46. The bottom of the second servo motor 49 is provided with a base plate, one end of which is rotatably connected to the base 1 via a shaft. The belt 410 is arranged between the linkage plate 48 and the output shaft of the second servo motor 49. The arrangement of the belt 410 enables the linkage plate 48 to be synchronously linked with the output shaft of the second servo motor 49, thereby driving the transmission rod 46 to rotate synchronously.

[0031] Multiple transmission rods 46 are provided inside the fixed housing 45, and driven gears 411 are coaxially fixed on the transmission rods 46. The driven gears 411 on adjacent transmission rods 46 have different diameters and mesh with each other. Multiple eccentric hammers 47 are driven in linkage through gear sets of different sizes, thereby changing the overall vibration frequency of the dispersing disc 42 and realizing efficient dispersing of the lees.

[0032] The dispersing plate 42 has protruding strips, and multiple strips are evenly spaced. The arrangement of multiple strips separates the lees, further improving the dispersing efficiency of the lees.

[0033] When using this brewing equipment, first fix the entire device in a suitable position and position the inclined end of the dispersing disc 42 at the still buckle. Then, add the lees into the storage box 32. Then, drive the guide rod 33 to rotate through the first servo motor 34. The rotation of the guide rod 33 will directionally transport the lees in the storage box 32 to the dispersing mechanism 4. At this time, the second servo motor 49 drives the transmission rod 46 to rotate synchronously through the belt 410, and drives the eccentric hammer 47 to move in conjunction. At the same time, the spring 44 will cause the dispersing disc 42 to vibrate rapidly, realizing the dispersing operation of the lees. Through the inclined dispersing disc 42, the dispersed lees can fall from one end of the dispersing disc 42 into the still, thus completing the feeding operation.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
