Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rice wine production and processing technology, specifically relating to a stirring device for adding yeast in rice wine brewing. Background Technology

[0002] Rice wine, also known as fermented rice wine or sweet wine, was formerly called "Li". Its main ingredient is glutinous rice, hence the name glutinous rice wine. In northern China, it is generally called "rice wine" or "sweet wine". It is a sweet rice wine made by fermenting steamed glutinous rice with yeast (a special type of microbial yeast).

[0003] In the process of brewing rice wine, it is necessary to use a stirring device to evenly mix the yeast and glutinous rice. This step not only affects the fermentation effect of the rice wine but also directly relates to the taste and flavor of the final product. However, existing stirring devices for brewing rice wine often only achieve unidirectional stirring. This simple stirring method is not only inefficient, making it difficult to fully mix the yeast and glutinous rice in a short time, but also often results in insufficient uniformity after mixing, affecting the subsequent fermentation process. To address these issues, we provide a yeast-adding stirring device for brewing rice wine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and to provide a stirring device for adding yeast in the brewing of rice wine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A stirring device for adding yeast in rice wine brewing includes a processing tank and a stirring mechanism. The stirring mechanism is installed inside the processing tank and includes a rotating cylinder that extends through the bottom of the processing tank and is rotatably connected to it. A rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the rotating cylinder. An outer shell is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the processing tank. A motor is fixedly connected inside the outer shell. The lower end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod inside the outer shell. A gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder inside the outer shell. Two rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell, and the upper ends of the two rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the processing tank.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, both of the outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts are fixedly connected with toothed columns. One toothed column is meshed with gear one, and the other toothed column is meshed with gear two, and the two toothed columns mesh with each other.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the rotating cylinder is located on the outer surface inside the processing barrel and has two fixed cross stirring rods. There are a total of four cross stirring rods, which are distributed in pairs on the outer surfaces of the rotating cylinder and the rotating rod.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a scraper is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder inside the processing barrel, and the scraper is in contact with the inner wall of the processing barrel.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a storage bin is provided above the processing bin, and four support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the storage bin, with the lower ends of the four support columns fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing bin.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a connecting pipe is installed on the bottom surface of the storage bin, the lower end of the connecting pipe is installed on the top of the processing bin, an observation window is provided on the front of the storage bin, and an adding mechanism is installed inside the storage bin.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the adding mechanism includes a fixing plate, which is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank. A motor housing is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate, and a second motor is fixedly connected inside the motor housing.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, a control switch is installed on the outer surface of the processing barrel, and four support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the processing barrel.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) This utility model starts the operation of motor one in the stirring mechanism by controlling the switch. With the cooperation between rotating rod one, gear one, two toothed columns and gear two, the rotating cylinder and rotating rod one can rotate in opposite directions. This makes the cross stirring rod fixed on the outer surface of the two form a complex stirring pattern inside the processing barrel, which greatly improves the stirring efficiency, so that the yeast and glutinous rice can be mixed quickly and the uniformity of mixing is effectively improved. At the same time, the scraper fixed on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder rotates close to the inner side wall and inner bottom wall of the processing barrel, ensuring that the material near the barrel wall can also be fully stirred, and the raw materials in the processing barrel are discharged more cleanly and thoroughly during subsequent discharge.

[0024] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a stirring device for adding yeast in rice wine brewing, specifically including a processing tank 1 and a stirring mechanism 2. The stirring mechanism 2 is installed inside the processing tank 1 and includes a rotating cylinder 201 that extends through the bottom of the processing tank 1 and is rotatably connected to the processing tank 1. A rotating rod 202 is rotatably connected inside the rotating cylinder 201. A housing 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the processing tank 1, and a motor 204 is fixedly connected inside the housing 203. The lower end of the rotating rod 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 204. A gear 205 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 202 inside the housing 203, and a second gear 205 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 201 inside the housing 203. 06. Two rotating shafts 207 are rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell 203. The upper ends of the two rotating shafts 207 are rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the processing barrel 1. The outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts 207 are fixedly connected to toothed columns 208. One toothed column 208 is meshed with gear one 205, and the other toothed column 208 is meshed with gear two 206. The two toothed columns 208 mesh with each other. Two cross stirring rods 209 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 201 inside the processing barrel 1. There are four cross stirring rods 209 in total. The four cross stirring rods 209 are distributed in pairs on the outer surfaces of the rotating cylinder 201 and the rotating rod one 202. A scraper 210 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 201 inside the processing barrel 1. The scraper 210 is in contact with the inner wall of the processing cylinder.

[0026] In this embodiment, the processing tank 1 serves as the core container for the entire brewing process, responsible for holding raw materials such as glutinous rice and yeast. The stirring mechanism 2 is installed inside the processing tank 1, responsible for achieving uniform mixing of the yeast and glutinous rice. The motor 204 can be started via the control switch 11. The operation of the motor 204 drives the rotating rod 202 and gear 205 to rotate. Since gear 205 meshes with a toothed column 208, it can drive that toothed column 208 to rotate. Because that toothed column 208 meshes with another toothed column 208, and that other toothed column 208 meshes with gear 206, gear 206 will... The rotating cylinder 201 and rotating rod 202 rotate synchronously in opposite directions as the gear 205 rotates, causing multiple cross-shaped stirring rods 209, which are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the rotating cylinder 201 and rotating rod 202, to form a complex stirring pattern inside the processing barrel 1. This allows the yeast and glutinous rice to be mixed quickly and thoroughly. At the same time, the scraper 210 fixed to the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 201 rotates close to the inner side wall and bottom wall of the processing barrel 1, ensuring that the material near the barrel wall is also thoroughly stirred. This also ensures that the raw materials in the processing barrel 1 are discharged more cleanly and completely during subsequent discharge.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a storage tank 3 is installed above the processing tank 1. Four support columns 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 3, with the lower ends of the four support columns 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing tank 1. A connecting pipe 5 is installed on the bottom of the storage tank 3, with the lower end of the connecting pipe 5 installed on the top of the processing tank 1. An observation window 6 is provided on the front of the storage tank 3. An adding mechanism 7 is installed inside the storage tank 3. The storage tank 3 is designed to facilitate the addition and storage of yeast. The storage tank 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing tank 1 by the four support columns 4 to ensure its stability and reliability. The storage tank 3 is connected to the processing tank 1 through the connecting pipe 5 installed on its bottom. Through the operation of the adding mechanism 7, the yeast in the storage tank 3 is easily added to the processing tank 1. The observation window 6 on the front of the storage tank 3 allows the operator to observe the remaining amount of yeast in the storage tank 3 for timely replenishment.

[0028] Please see Figure 5 As shown, the adding mechanism 7 includes a fixed plate 701, which is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 3. A motor housing 702 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 701. A second motor 703 is fixedly connected inside the motor housing 702. A second rotating rod 704 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 703. The lower end of the second rotating rod 704 passes through the upper surface of the fixed plate 701 and extends into the interior of the storage tank 3. The lower end of the second rotating rod 704 is located inside the connecting pipe 5. A spiral blade 705 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second rotating rod 704. The second motor 703 can be started by the control switch 11. The start of the second motor 703 will drive the second rotating rod 704 and the spiral blade 705 on its outer surface to rotate. The rotation of the spiral blade 705 can push the yeast in the storage tank 3 down along the connecting pipe 5 and add it into the processing tank 1, thereby realizing the addition of yeast.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a feeding hopper 8 is installed on the top of the processing barrel 1, and a discharge pipe 9 is installed on the bottom surface of the processing barrel 1. A solenoid valve 10 is installed on the outer surface of the discharge pipe 9. The feeding hopper 8 installed on the top of the processing barrel 1 facilitates the addition of brewing raw materials such as glutinous rice. The discharge pipe 9 installed on the bottom surface of the processing barrel 1 allows the mixed raw materials in the processing barrel 1 to be discharged by opening the solenoid valve 10 through the control switch 11. The control switch 11 is installed on the outer surface of the processing barrel 1, and four support legs 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the processing barrel 1. The control switch 11 is used to control the start, stop, and adjustment of various parameters of the entire device. The design of the control switch 11 allows the operator to easily control the entire brewing process, ensuring the smooth progress of brewing. The four support legs 12 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the processing barrel 1 ensure the stability and reliability of the entire device, ensuring the stability of the device during operation and preventing safety accidents such as tilting or falling over.

[0030] In use, this invention involves feeding an appropriate amount of glutinous rice or other raw materials into the processing barrel 1 via the feeding hopper 8. Suitable yeast is added to the storage barrel 3 for storage. When adding yeast, the second motor 703 is started via the control switch 11, causing the rotating rod 704 and the spiral blade 705 to rotate. The rotation of the spiral blade 705 pushes the yeast from the storage barrel 3 downwards along the connecting pipe 5 and adds it to the processing barrel 1. Then, the first motor 204 is started via the control switch 11, causing the rotating rod 202 and the gear 205 to rotate. Since the gear 205 meshes with a toothed column 208, it drives that toothed column 208 to rotate. And since that toothed column 208 meshes with another toothed column 208… Furthermore, another gear 208 meshes with gear 206, so gear 206 will rotate in the opposite direction as gear 1 rotates, thereby driving the rotating cylinder 201 and rotating rod 202 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This causes multiple cross-shaped stirring rods 209, which are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the rotating cylinder 201 and rotating rod 202, to form a complex stirring pattern inside the processing tank 1, quickly and thoroughly mixing the yeast and glutinous rice. After mixing, the solenoid valve 10 is opened by the control switch 11, and the mixed brewing raw materials are discharged into the prepared container. Moreover, the scraper 210 ensures that the raw materials in the processing tank 1 are discharged more cleanly and thoroughly.

[0031] 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, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
