Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alcohol brewing, specifically to a saccharification pot for the saccharification process. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing process of alcoholic beverages such as beer and spirits, saccharification is a key step. The saccharification tank is a device used to convert starch in starchy raw materials such as malt into sugars. For example, in beer brewing, the starch in malt needs to undergo a series of enzymatic reactions in the saccharification tank under appropriate temperature, pH, and other conditions to break down the starch into sugars such as maltose. These sugars are the main raw materials for subsequent yeast fermentation to produce alcohol.

[0003] Chinese patent provides a saccharification and boiling vessel, publication number CN205368297U, which includes a vessel body (6) and a lid (1). A heater (9) is installed inside the vessel body (6), and the heater (9) is connected to a steam pipe (91). Through the built-in heater and stirrer, saccharification and boiling are completed in one container. In the initial stage of filtration, a heating jacket is used to raise the temperature, which can save boiling time, so that the wort reaches the boiling state as soon as it fills the vessel. Then the heating jacket is closed, and the internal heater is used for heating. At this time, the wort has completely submerged the internal heater, and the internal heater also has a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. Then, the internal heater is turned on, and saturated steam is used for heating. After boiling for 30 minutes, the wort can be extracted. This process significantly shortens the boiling time and saves the amount of steam used.

[0004] Although the aforementioned device completes saccharification and boiling in one container through its built-in heater and stirrer, and significantly shortens the boiling time and saves steam consumption, it cannot perform targeted stirring of materials according to different stages of saccharification. Therefore, this invention proposes a saccharification pot for the saccharification process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a saccharification pot for the saccharification process, which can perform targeted stirring operations on materials according to different stages of saccharification.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pot body is included, with a discharge rotating plate rotatably connected to the interior of the pot body through its outer surface. A top cover is installed on the top of the pot body, and a feed pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover through the interior of the pot body. A first rotating shaft is provided inside the pot body, and a first paddle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating shaft. A second rotating cylinder is provided inside the pot body and located on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft, with a second paddle fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the second rotating cylinder. A third rotating cylinder is provided inside the pot body and located on the outer surface of the second rotating cylinder, with a third paddle fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the third rotating cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the second rotating drum is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft, and the third rotating drum is rotatably connected to the second rotating drum.

[0008] Preferably, three connecting brackets are symmetrically and equidistantly fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pot body, and the top of the connecting brackets is fixedly connected to the bottom through the bottom.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the top center of the top cover, a top plate is fixedly connected inside the fixing frame, a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate, a hollow rotating plate is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame at the bottom of the top plate, a gear frame is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame at the bottom of the hollow rotating plate, a toothed groove is opened on the inner wall of the gear frame, three planetary gears are equidistantly arranged inside the gear frame, and a sun gear is arranged between the three planetary gears.

[0010] Preferably, the tops of the three planetary gears are rotatably connected to the bottom of the hollow rotating plate, and the planetary gears mesh with the tooth grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the output shaft of the motor passes through the top plate and the hollow rotating plate and is fixedly connected to the top of the sun gear, and the sun gear meshes with three planetary gears.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the three sun gears passes through the top of the top cover and is fixedly connected to the top of the first rotating shaft, the bottom of the three planetary gears passes through the top of the top cover and is rotatably connected to the top of the second rotating cylinder, and the bottom of the gear carrier passes through the top of the top cover and is fixedly connected to the top of the third rotating cylinder.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1) During the soaking stage, the first blade plays a preliminary mixing role, thoroughly mixing the malt and water, allowing the malt to absorb water evenly, fully extracting enzymes, and driving the movement of the material at the bottom to prevent the malt from accumulating at the bottom.

[0015] 2) During the protein decomposition stage, the second blade plays an auxiliary stirring role, making the protein decomposition more uniform and ensuring that the amount of soluble nitrogen and amino acids generated meets the brewing requirements. For well-dissolved malt, it can help to quickly disperse heat, accurately control the temperature, and shorten the protein decomposition time. For poorly dissolved malt, the stirring intensity is increased to ensure that the malt and water are in full contact, ensuring that the protein is fully decomposed.

[0016] 3) The rotation of the top stirring paddle can evenly disperse the raw materials in the water, avoid the raw materials from concentrating, and accelerate the wetting and dissolving speed.

[0017] 4) By setting up a gear frame, planetary gears and a sun gear, one motor can drive the first blade, the second blade and the third blade to rotate together, and the three blades rotate at different speeds, so as to meet the effects that each blade can achieve.

[0018] 5) The first blade of the high-speed layer generates strong turbulence in the surrounding liquid, increasing the contact area and collision frequency of different liquid micro-particles, making the malt and water mix more evenly and finely.

[0019] 6) The second blade of the medium-speed layer plays a transition and connection role, further distributing the material dispersed by the first blade evenly throughout the entire mixing container, making the mixing effect more uniform and stable, avoiding uneven material distribution caused by excessive local mixing of the first blade, and providing a uniform material base for the third blade.

[0020] 7) The third blade of the low-speed layer can eliminate the side effects of mechanical energy such as foam and bubbles generated by stirring, making the stirring process more stable and controllable, and ensuring the taste and appearance of the product. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 A saccharification pot for a saccharification process includes a pot body 1, a discharge turntable 2 rotatably connected to the interior of the pot body 1 through its outer surface, a top cover 3 installed on the top of the pot body 1, a feed pipe 4 fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 3 through the interior of the pot body 1, a first rotating shaft 8 disposed inside the pot body 1, a first paddle 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating shaft 8, a second rotating cylinder 10 disposed inside the pot body 1 and located on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 8, a second paddle 11 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the second rotating cylinder 10, and a third rotating cylinder 12 disposed inside the pot body 1 and located on the outer surface of the second rotating cylinder 10, a third paddle 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the third rotating cylinder 12.

[0030] Specifically, malt and water are injected into the pot body 1 through the feed pipe 4 in sequence according to the preparation ratio, and the pot body 1 is heated by the external heating equipment. Then, the first rotating shaft 8, the second rotating drum 10 and the third rotating drum 12 are rotated together until the saccharification is completed. When the saccharification is completed, the discharge plate 2 is opened, and the saccharified material is discharged from the pot body 1 through the discharge plate 2.

[0031] During the initial soaking stage at the beginning of saccharification, the first blade 9 plays a preliminary mixing role. It can fully mix malt and water, allowing the malt to absorb water evenly, enabling the enzymes to fully leach out, and driving the movement of the material at the bottom, preventing the malt from accumulating at the bottom.

[0032] During the protein decomposition stage, the second blade 11 plays an auxiliary stirring role. At this time, the protein in the malt begins to decompose. The rotation of the second blade 11 can make the protein decomposition more uniform, ensuring that the amount of soluble nitrogen and amino acids produced meets the brewing requirements. For well-dissolved malt, the second blade 11 can help to quickly disperse heat, making temperature control more precise, thereby shortening the protein decomposition time. For poorly dissolved malt, the second blade 11 can increase the stirring intensity, so that the malt and water can come into full contact, ensuring that the protein can be fully decomposed.

[0033] When raw materials such as malt are added to the saccharification pot, the rotation of the top stirring paddle can evenly disperse the raw materials in the water, preventing the raw materials from concentrating in a certain area and accelerating the wetting and dissolving speed of the raw materials.

[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second rotating drum 10 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 8, and the third rotating drum 12 is rotatably connected to the second rotating drum 10.

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Three connecting brackets 6 are symmetrically and equidistantly fixed to the outer surface of the pot body 1, and the top of the connecting brackets 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom through the bottom.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 3 - Figure 5 A fixing frame 5 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the top cover 3. A top plate 14 is fixedly connected inside the fixing frame 5. A motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 14. A hollow rotating plate 16 is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 5 at the bottom of the top plate 14. A gear frame 17 is rotatably connected inside the fixing frame 5 at the bottom of the hollow rotating plate 16. The inner wall of the gear frame 17 has tooth grooves 18. Three planetary gears 19 are equidistantly arranged inside the gear frame 17. A sun gear 20 is arranged between the three planetary gears 19.

[0038] Specifically, starting the motor 15 drives the sun gear 20 to rotate. Through the transmission of the sun gear 20 and the engagement of the gear slot 18, the three planetary gears 19 revolve together around the sun gear 20, and the planetary gears 19 also rotate on their own axis. The revolution of the three planetary gears 19 drives the gear carrier 17 to rotate. The rotation of the sun gear 20 drives the first rotating shaft 8 and the first blade 9 to rotate together. The rotation of the three planetary gears 19 drives the second rotating drum 10 and the second blade 11 to rotate together. The rotation of the gear carrier 17 drives the third rotating drum 12 and the third blade 13 to rotate together.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotational speed ratio between the first rotating shaft 8, the second rotating drum 10, and the third rotating drum 12 is 12:7:3. The first blade 9 of the high-speed layer can generate strong turbulence in the surrounding liquid, dividing the liquid into extremely small micro-particles, increasing the contact area and collision frequency between different liquid micro-particles, and making the mixing between malt and water more uniform and fine.

[0040] The rotational speed of the second blade 11 in the medium-speed layer is between that of the high-speed layer and the low-speed layer, which plays a role in transition and connection. It can further distribute the material dispersed by the first blade 9 evenly throughout the entire mixing container, making the mixing effect more uniform and stable, avoiding the uneven distribution of materials caused by the first blade 9's excessively strong local mixing, and also providing a more uniform material base for the third blade 13.

[0041] The third blade 13 in the low-speed layer can eliminate side effects such as foam and bubbles caused by stirring, making the stirring process more stable and controllable, ensuring the taste and appearance of the product. The third blade 13 can avoid this situation.

[0042] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The tops of the three planetary gears 19 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the hollow rotating plate 16, and the planetary gears 19 mesh with the tooth grooves 18.

[0043] See Figure 4 The output shaft of the motor 15 passes through the top plate 14 and the hollow rotating plate 16 and is fixedly connected to the top of the sun gear 20. The sun gear 20 meshes with three planetary gears 19.

[0044] See Figure 5 The bottom of the three sun gears 20 passes through the top of the top cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the top of the first rotating shaft 8. The bottom of the three planetary gears 19 passes through the top of the top cover 3 and is rotatably connected to the top of the second rotating cylinder 10. The bottom of the gear frame 17 passes through the top of the top cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the top of the third rotating cylinder 12.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
