[0033] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a brewing koji-making room 100, which includes a room body 110 and an adjustment layer 120.

[0035] Specifically, in combination Figures 1 to 4As shown, the opposite side walls of the room 110 are each provided with a first window 130 and a second window 140 to create air convection and meet the ventilation requirements of the room 110. The regulating layer 120 is disposed within the room 110, dividing the room 110 into a first space 111 and a second space 112. The first window 130 is located in the first space 111, and the second window 140 is located in the second space 112. The opening direction of both the first window 130 and the second window 140 faces away from the regulating layer 120. Accordingly, the room 110 is provided with the first window 130 and the second window 140, and the regulating layer 120 divides the room 110 into the first space 111 and the second space 112, allowing heat exchange between the first space 111 and the second space 112 through the regulating layer 120. The regulation and exchange of quantity, moisture and oxygen, thereby regulating the temperature, humidity and oxygen in the brewing koji-making room 100, the first window 130 corresponds to the first space 111, and the second window 140 corresponds to the second space 112. According to the brewing koji-making process, the room 110 is cooled, dehumidified and oxygenated. The opening direction of the first window 130 and the second window 140 is opposite to the direction of the regulating layer 120 to prevent the regulating layer 120 from being directly blown after the window is opened, and to reduce the impact on the koji embryo during the fermentation of koji.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the brewing koji-making room 100 has a first direction X and a second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. For example, the first direction X refers to the height direction of the brewing koji-making room 100, and the second direction Y refers to the length direction of the brewing koji-making room 100. It is understood that the above definitions are only for ease of understanding the relative positional relationships of the various parts in the brewing koji-making room 100 and should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0037] It is understandable that during the koji-making process, when the koji bricks inside chamber 110 heat up, the temperature inside chamber 110 will rise, and the moisture in the koji bricks will evaporate as the temperature rises, producing water vapor. Both heat and water vapor rise to the regulating layer 120. The regulating layer 120 has many gaps, allowing heat and water vapor to slowly exchange heat and moisture with the naturally circulating air above, thus slowly dissipating heat and water vapor from chamber 110. When the temperature inside chamber 110 is low, the regulating layer 120 has a certain heat-insulating effect, raising the temperature inside chamber 110. Furthermore, oxygen above the regulating layer 120 exchanges into the interior of chamber 110 through the regulating layer 120, replenishing the oxygen inside chamber 110. Simultaneously, when the air humidity inside chamber 110 is saturated, the adsorption layer 160 can adsorb water vapor from chamber 110; when the air humidity inside chamber 110 is low, the adsorption layer 160 can release the adsorbed moisture, thereby regulating the moisture content inside chamber 110.

[0038] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first window 130 is a bottom-hung window structure, and the second window 140 is a top-hung window structure. The first window 130 of the bottom-hung window structure can be opened by rotating outward from the top of the window sash, while the bottom of the window sash is fixed, which plays a certain role in wind prevention and helps the moisture in the room 110 to be gradually discharged, replenishing the oxygen inside and outside, and has a better dehumidification effect. The second window 140 of the top-hung window structure can be opened by rotating outward from the bottom of the window sash, while the top of the window sash is fixed, allowing outside air to enter the room 110 to have a cooling effect. This allows the first window 130 of the bottom-hung window structure and the second window 140 of the top-hung window structure to form air convection, and prevents outside hot and cold air from directly entering the room 110 through the first window 130 and the second window 140, thus avoiding severe environmental vibration.

[0039] In summary, the chamber 110 is equipped with a first window 130 and a second window 140. The regulating layer 120 divides the chamber 110 into a first space 111 and a second space 112, allowing the first space 111 and the second space 112 to regulate and exchange heat, moisture, and oxygen through the regulating layer 120. This, in turn, regulates the temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels in the brewing koji-making chamber 100. The first window 130 corresponds to the first space 111, and the second window 140 corresponds to the second space 112. According to the brewing koji-making process, the chamber 110 achieves cooling, dehumidification, and oxygenation. The opening directions of the first window 130 and the second window 140 are opposite to the direction of the regulating layer 120 to prevent direct airflow into the regulating layer 120 after opening the windows, reducing the impact on the koji fermentation process and thus improving the koji-making effect.

[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of this application provides another brewing koji-making room 100, which includes a room body 110 and an adjustment layer 120.

[0041] Specifically, in combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a first window 130 and a second window 140 are provided on opposite side walls within the room 110. An adjustment layer 120 is disposed within the room 110, dividing the room 110 into a first space 111 and a second space 112. The first window 130 is located in the first space 111, and the second window 140 is located in the second space 112. The opening direction of both the first window 130 and the second window 140 faces away from the adjustment layer 120. Accordingly, the room 110 is provided with the first window 130 and the second window 140, and the adjustment layer 120 divides the room 110 into the first space 111 and the second space 112, allowing communication between the first space 111 and the second space 112 through the adjustment layer 120. The regulation and exchange of heat, moisture, and oxygen further regulate the temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels in the brewing koji-making room 100. The first window 130 corresponds to the first space 111, and the second window 140 corresponds to the second space 112. According to the brewing koji-making process, the room 110 is cooled, dehumidified, and oxygenated. The opening directions of the first window 130 and the second window 140 are opposite to the direction of the regulating layer 120 to prevent direct airflow into the regulating layer 120 after the windows are opened, thus reducing the impact on the koji embryo during koji fermentation.

[0042] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first window 130 is a bottom-hung window structure, and the second window 140 is a top-hung window structure. The first window 130 of the bottom-hung window structure can be opened by rotating outward from the top of the window sash, while the bottom of the window sash is fixed, which plays a certain role in wind protection and has a good moisture-venting effect. The first window 130 of the top-hung window structure can be opened by rotating outward from the bottom of the window sash, while the top of the window sash is fixed, allowing outside air to enter the room 110 to achieve a cooling effect. This allows the first window 130 of the bottom-hung window structure and the second window 140 of the top-hung window structure to form air convection, and prevents outside hot and cold air from directly entering the room 110 through the first window 130 and the second window 140, thereby preventing severe environmental vibration.

[0043] In one embodiment, alternatively, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the opening angle of the first window 130 and the second window 140 is θ, which satisfies: 15°≤θ≤45°. That is, the opening angle θ of the first window 130 is greater than or equal to 15° and less than or equal to 45°, and the opening angle θ of the second window 140 is greater than or equal to 15° and less than or equal to 45°. This allows the opening angle of the first window 130 and the second window 140 to adjust the ventilation flow of external air into the room 110, so as to regulate the temperature, humidity and oxygen in the room 110.

[0044] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the height of the first window 130 is greater than or equal to the height of the second window 140. In other words, the height of the first window 130 is not less than the height of the second window 140. The position height of the first window 130 of the lower-hanging window structure is greater than or equal to the position height of the second window 140 of the upper-hanging window structure. Furthermore, the opening direction of the first window 130 of the lower-hanging window structure and the opening direction of the second window 140 of the upper-hanging window structure avoid the position of the regulating layer 120. The first window 130 or the second window 140 of the chamber 110 on opposite side walls are arranged opposite each other. The convective air circulates on opposite sides of the regulating layer 120, thereby reducing the impact on the fermented embryos in the chamber 110, maintaining the stability of the fermentation values ​​in the chamber 110, strengthening the oxygen supply, temperature regulation and dehumidification of the fermentation chamber, and reducing the occurrence of phenomena such as fire rings and water rings in the fermented embryos.

[0045] For example, the height of the second window 140 from the ground can be any value between 200 and 210 cm. As an example, the distance between the second window 140 and the ground can be, but is not limited to, 200 cm, 205 cm, or 210 cm. Setting the second window 140 at a suitable height from the ground allows for sufficient space for music production and ensures a suitable rate of exchange between heat, moisture, and oxygen within the chamber 110 and the circulating air through the second window 140.

[0046] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, optionally, the brewing koji-making room 100 also includes a support assembly 150. One end of the support assembly 150 is suspended from the inner top wall of the room body 110, and the other end of the support assembly 150 away from the inner top wall is connected to the side wall of the room body 110. The regulating layer 120 is laid on the support assembly 150. Correspondingly, the support assembly 150 is used to support and fix the regulating layer 120, so that the regulating layer 120 can divide the space inside the room body 110 into a first space 111 and a second space 112, avoiding large gaps around the regulating layer 120, which would cause the heat, moisture and oxygen inside the room body 110 to exchange with the circulating air on both sides of the regulating layer 120 too quickly, affecting the koji-making quality.

[0047] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the support assembly 150 is a sloping structure to accommodate the regulating layer 120. The sloping structure of the support assembly 150 increases the area of ​​the regulating layer 120, thereby improving the exchange and regulation effect of heat, moisture, and oxygen in the spaces on both sides of the regulating layer 120. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the support assembly 150 is a herringbone structure.

[0048] Optionally, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the support assembly 150 is an arched structure to accommodate the regulating layer 120. The arched structure of the support assembly 150 increases the area of ​​the regulating layer 120, thereby improving the exchange and regulation effect of heat, moisture, and oxygen in the spaces on both sides of the regulating layer 120. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the support assembly 150 is a dome-shaped structure.

[0049] Optionally, the regulating layer 120 is made of plant fiber. When the curved bricks inside the chamber 110 below the regulating layer 120 heat up, the temperature inside the chamber 110 rises, and the moisture in the curved bricks is gradually released as the temperature rises, generating water vapor. Both heat and water vapor move to the regulating layer 120. Because the regulating layer 120 is made of plant fiber and has many gaps, heat and water vapor slowly exchange with the circulating air on both sides through the regulating layer 120, allowing heat and water vapor inside the chamber 110 to dissipate. When the temperature of the chamber 110 is low, the regulating layer 120 has a certain heat-insulating effect. At the same time, oxygen above the regulating layer 120 exchanges into the interior of the chamber 110 through the regulating layer 120, replenishing the oxygen inside the chamber 110, thereby effectively regulating the temperature, humidity, and oxygen level in the large-grain fermentation room.

[0050] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 1As shown, an adsorption layer 160 is provided on at least one inner wall of the chamber 110 located below the second window 140. When the air humidity inside the chamber 110 is saturated, the adsorption layer 160 can adsorb water vapor inside the chamber 110. When the air humidity inside the chamber 110 is relatively low, the adsorption layer 160 can release the adsorbed moisture, thereby effectively regulating the moisture content inside the chamber 110. Further, the adsorption layer 160 is provided on one, two, or three inner walls of the chamber 110 located below the second window 140. For example, the adsorption layer 160 is made of plant fiber. The thickness of the adsorption layer 160 is 46 cm. The thickness of the adsorption layer 160 can be, but is not limited to, 4 cm, 4.5 cm, 5 cm, 5.5 cm, or 6 cm. Setting the adsorption layer 160 to an appropriate thickness allows for the adsorption or release of appropriate moisture to effectively regulate the moisture content inside the chamber 110.

[0051] The embodiments of this utility model also provide a koji-making system, including the brewing koji-making room 100 in the above embodiments. The koji-making system including the brewing koji-making room 100 has all the beneficial effects of the brewing koji-making room 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations; therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0053] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
