Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wine production technology, specifically relating to a tea powder mixing device for producing tea-based wine. Background Technology

[0002] Tea-based liquor is an alcoholic beverage made primarily from tea leaves. In the initial processing of tea-based liquor, tea powder needs to be mixed with water, a process typically carried out using a stirring tank.

[0003] However, existing mixing tanks have certain shortcomings in use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0004] For wineries, all their processing equipment is large-scale, because only large-scale equipment can meet their production capacity requirements. However, due to the large size of the agitator blades and safety considerations, the rotation speed of the large mixing tanks is limited. This results in some tea powder settling at the bottom of the tank during the tea powder mixing process, failing to mix thoroughly with the water, leading to an unsatisfactory mixing effect.

[0005] On the other hand, because the mixing tanks used by wineries have a large volume, a large amount of tea powder and water will enter the mixing tank when tea powder is mixed with water. This causes a large amount of tea powder to easily stick together and form clumps after contacting water. As a result, the tea powder in the center of the clumps cannot come into contact with water and mix. Furthermore, because the stirring blades in the mixing tank do not rotate fast, it is difficult to break up the smaller clumps of tea powder, which affects the mixing effect of tea powder with water. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tea powder mixing device for producing tea liquor, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve this purpose, the specific technical solution is as follows:

[0007] A device for mixing tea powder with water in the production of tea-based liquor, the tank having a columnar upper part, a funnel-shaped lower part, and a columnar bottom.

[0008] The first stirring rod is mounted on the top of the tank via a waterproof bearing and a waterproof sealing ring. The lower end of the first stirring rod extends into the lower part of the funnel-shaped tank, and the upper end extends to the outside of the tank. This end is driven by a reduction gear set to a first motor located on the top of the tank. The first stirring rod has stirring blades inside the upper cylindrical part of the tank, and a scraper that fits against the inner wall of the tank is provided in the lower funnel-shaped part of the tank.

[0009] The second stirring rod is installed at the bottom of the tank via a waterproof bearing and a waterproof sealing ring. The upper end of the second stirring rod extends into the cylindrical bottom of the tank, and the lower end extends to the outside of the tank. This end is driven by a second motor located at the bottom of the tank via an acceleration gear set. The second stirring rod has crushing blades installed inside the cylindrical bottom of the tank.

[0010] The top of the tank is equipped with a feeding port with a valve, a water inlet with a valve, an air inlet valve, and an exhaust valve, while the bottom of the tank is equipped with a discharge port with a valve.

[0011] It also includes a liquid pump, with its inlet port connected to the bottom of the tank via a pipeline, and its outlet port connected to the top of the tank via a pipeline.

[0012] It also includes controllers for controlling the start and stop of the first motor, the second motor, and the liquid pump.

[0013] Furthermore, the drain port of the pipeline connected to the liquid pump outlet is located above the calibrated liquid level of the tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the first motor, the second motor, and the liquid pump are powered by mains electricity.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] (1) This utility model improves the existing mixing tank by adding a scraper driven by a first motor to the lower part of its funnel shape, and adding a columnar bottom structure below the lower part of the funnel shape of the tank body. A crushing blade driven by a second motor through an acceleration gear set is set in the columnar bottom structure, so that the tea powder that settles at the bottom of the mixing tank can enter the columnar bottom structure under the drive of the scraper, and the rapidly rotating crushing blade breaks the lumpy tea powder. Then, it is pumped back to the upper part of the tank body by a liquid pump to achieve cyclic crushing and ensure that the tea powder can be fully mixed with water.

[0017] (2) In this utility model, the drain port of the pipeline connected to the liquid pump outlet is set above the marked liquid level of the tank, so that the mixed liquid pumped out by the liquid pump outlet has a large impact force during the spraying process, which breaks up the small tea powder clumps, thereby making the tea powder and water mix more evenly.

After feeding is complete, close the valves on the feeding port 13 and the water inlet 14. During the feeding process and for a period of time after feeding, the controller 17 starts the first motor 6, the second motor 11, and the liquid pump 16. The first motor 6 drives the stirring blade 7 and the scraper 8 to rotate slowly, and the second motor 11 drives the crushing blade 12 to rotate quickly. The stirring blade 7 is used to stir the mixture in the tank 1 as a whole, the scraper 8 is used to scrape the tea powder deposited at the bottom of the tank 1 to the columnar bottom of the tank 1, and the crushing blade 12 is used to break up the tea powder in the columnar bottom of the tank 1.

[0030] The tea powder, broken up by the crushing blade 12, is pumped back to the top of the tank 1 along with water by the liquid pump 16 through a pipeline, thus achieving circulation.

[0031] After the tea powder and water are thoroughly mixed, the valve at the discharge port 15 is opened to discharge the material, which is then collected in a suitable container. Once the material has been discharged, the controller 17 stops the first motor 6, the second motor 11, and the liquid pump 16, and closes the valve at the discharge port 15.

[0032] When tank 1 needs cleaning, open the valve on inlet 14 to inject clean water into tank 1, then close the valve on inlet 14 and start the first motor 6, second motor 11, and liquid pump 16 to clean the inside of tank 1.
