[0023] 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.

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0026] like Figs. 1-3 As shown; This utility model discloses a liquor condenser, including a condenser tank 1. An air inlet pipe 2 is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the condenser tank 1, and an air outlet pipe 3 is provided at the top. Both the air inlet pipe 2 and the air outlet pipe 3 are inclined. The end of the air inlet pipe 2 near the condenser tank 1 is lower than the end of the air inlet pipe 2 away from the condenser tank 1, and the end of the air outlet pipe 3 near the condenser tank 1 is lower than the end of the air outlet pipe 3 away from the condenser tank 1. A liquid outlet pipe 4 is provided at the bottom of the condenser tank 1.

[0027] The water-cooling assembly includes a water-cooling pipe 6, an inlet pipe 7, and an outlet pipe 8. The inlet pipe 7 and the outlet pipe 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the condenser tank 1. The two ends of the water-cooling pipe 6 are connected to the inlet pipe 7 and the outlet pipe 8 respectively.

[0028] The air-cooling assembly comprises the fan 11, the air-cooling pipe 12 and the air-cooling box 13, the air-cooling box 13 is fixed at the top end of the condensing tank 1, the fan 11 is installed at the top end of the air-cooling box 13, the bottom end of the air-cooling box 13 is communicated with the two ends of the air-cooling pipe 12, and the air-cooling pipe 12 is arranged at the top of the condensing tank 1.

[0029] In the embodiment, the included angle between the air inlet pipe 2 and the air outlet pipe 3 and the condensing tank 1 is 8-15°.

[0030] The air inlet pipe 2 and the air outlet pipe 3 are arranged in an inclined mode, so that the condensed liquor is prevented from flowing back or flowing into the next stage together with steam from the air outlet pipe 3, and the air-cooling assembly at the top of the condensing tank 1 and the water-cooling assembly at the middle part of the condensing tank 1 are matched to form a temperature gradient, the high-temperature liquor steam entering from the bottom of the condensing tank 1 firstly exchanges heat with the water-cooling pipe 6 at the bottom in a preliminary mode, part of the steam is condensed, and the steam rises to the top to be in contact with the air-cooling assembly again to be further cooled and condensed; the gradient condensing mode can make substances with different boiling points gradually condensed in different temperature regions, and is beneficial to improving the quality and flavor substances of the liquor.

[0031] The water-cooling pipe 6 greatly increases the cooling area, exchanges heat with the liquor steam through the pipe wall, and transmits the heat of the steam to the water in the water-cooling pipe 6, in the process, the water continuously takes away the heat to rapidly cool and condense the liquor steam.

[0032] In the embodiment, the material of the water-cooling pipe 6 is selected from metals with good heat conduction performance, such as stainless steel, the heat conduction coefficient of which is relatively high, can effectively realize heat transmission, and can improve the heat exchange efficiency by about 30%-40% compared with ordinary materials.

[0033] In the utility model, the fan 11 is installed at the top end of the air-cooling box 13, and the outside cold air enters the air-cooling box 13 through the suction effect, then enters the air-cooling pipe 12 to play a condensing effect at the top of the condensing tank 1, and directly cools the liquor steam rising to the top, since the specific heat capacity of air is small, the heat of the liquor steam can be quickly absorbed, a relatively strong cooling region is formed at the top, compared with the single water-cooling mode, after the air-cooling assembly is added, the cooling efficiency of the top region can be improved by about 40%-50%, and the overall condensing efficiency is further improved.

[0034] In the embodiment, the connecting pipe 10 is further included, the water pump 9 is fixed on the side wall of the condensing tank 1, one end of the water pump 9 is communicated with the water outlet pipe 8, the other end is communicated with one end of the connecting pipe 10, the connecting pipe 10 is arranged in the air-cooling box 13, and the other end of the connecting pipe 10 is communicated with the water inlet pipe 7.

[0035] The connecting pipe 10 of this utility model is set inside the cold air box 13, and together with the water inlet pipe 7, water outlet pipe 8 and water cooling pipe 6, the water forms a circulating flow. When the circulating water flows to the connecting pipe 10, it can fully absorb the low temperature energy of the cold air in the cold air box 13, so that the cold air energy is absorbed and utilized by the circulating water, and the initial temperature of the circulating water when it enters the water cooling pipe 6 is reduced. This greatly enhances the cooling capacity of the water cooling component, thereby improving the condensing efficiency of the overall condenser.

[0036] In this embodiment, the water-cooling pipe 6 is a square pipe with multiple vertical through holes 14.

[0037] In this embodiment, the diameter of the through hole 14 is 1.5-2m.

[0038] The present invention has multiple through holes 14 evenly distributed on the surface of the square tube, which greatly increases the contact area between the water-cooled tube 6 and the alcohol vapor, and can transfer more heat in the same time, accelerate the heat conduction of alcohol vapor to the water-cooled tube 6, and effectively improve the condensation efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the water-cooling pipe 6 has a "V" shaped structure, and a through hole 15 is provided in the middle of the "V" shaped structure of the water-cooling pipe 6.

[0040] The "V" shaped structure design of this utility model utilizes the principle of gravity. When the alcohol vapor condenses into liquid on the surface of the water-cooling pipe 6, the condensate will quickly slide down the slope of the "V" shape to the middle and fall into the bottom of the condensing tank 1, which increases the drainage speed. This effectively avoids the condensate from staying on the surface of the water-cooling pipe 6 for a long time, reduces the possibility of the condensate evaporating again, and improves the condensation efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cold air duct 12 is spirally coiled at the top of the condenser tank 1.

[0042] The spiral winding structure of this utility model allows the cold air duct 12 to have a longer length within the limited space at the top of the condenser tank 1. The contact area between the alcohol vapor and the cold air duct 12 is greatly increased. The larger contact area allows the alcohol vapor to exchange heat with the cold air more fully, which greatly improves the cooling capacity of the air-cooled components and thus effectively improves the overall condensation efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, the vertical cross-section of the cold air duct 12 is triangular.

[0044] The apex and hypotenuse of the triangular cross-section of this invention will disrupt the laminar flow of air in the cooling duct 12. When the air encounters the apex, airflow separation and reattachment will occur, while boundary layer separation and mixing will occur at the hypotenuse, thereby significantly enhancing the degree of turbulence. At the same time, the interior angles and edges of the triangle help to prevent dirt from accumulating on the duct wall to a certain extent.

[0045] In the embodiment, the electromagnetic valve 5 connected with the condenser 1 is arranged at the inlet pipe 2, the outlet pipe 3 and the liquid outlet pipe 4.

[0046] In the embodiment, the switch is fixed on the outer wall of the condenser 1, and the water pump 9, the fan 11 and the electromagnetic valve 5 are connected with the switch through wires.

[0047] The switch is used for controlling the water pump 9, the fan 11 and the electromagnetic valve 5, and the operator can conveniently open and close the water pump 9 and the fan 11 at the equipment, the centralized control mode avoids the complicated operation of the water pump 9 and the fan 11 at different positions, and the operation efficiency is improved.

[0048] In the specific use, the switch is used for controlling the water pump 9 and the fan 11, the wine steam enters the condenser 1 through the inlet pipe 2 and moves upwards, passes through the water cooling pipe 6 and the cold air pipe 12, the condensed wine liquid flows downwards and flows out from the liquid outlet, and the remaining steam flows out from the outlet pipe 3 and enters the next step.

[0049] In the description of the utility model, it is understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only used for facilitating the description of the utility model, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element indicated must have a particular orientation, a particular orientation and operation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0050] In the description of the utility model, it is understood that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "arrangement", "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, can be fixedly connected, can be detachably connected, or integrally connected, can be mechanically connected, or electrically connected, can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and can be connected inside two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] The above embodiment is only used for describing the preferred mode of the utility model, and does not limit the scope of the utility model, and various deformations and improvements of the technical scheme of the utility model made by ordinary skilled in the art without departing from the design spirit of the utility model should fall within the protection scope of the utility model claim.
