TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to wine brewing equipment technical field especially a kind of auxiliary material tower type distillation device with distillation and spread and air function. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the traditional liquor brewing process, bran and other auxiliary materials need to be added to the distiller's grains before distillation, and the distillation process needs to follow the method of "covering materials with steam", which is due to the structure of traditional distillation equipment. Traditional distillation equipment includes a distillation pot, a distillation barrel and a distillation cover (for example, a liquor automatic distillation control system with publication number CN208733072U applied by the applicant in 2018). Since the traditional distillation equipment is integrated, the volume of the distillation barrel is large, and several tons of grain can be distilled at a time. Therefore, a certain proportion of bran and other auxiliary materials need to be added to the distiller's grains before distillation, and the distiller's grains need to be added during the distillation process. The purpose is to make the distiller's grains more loose, increase the gap between the distiller's grains, and make the distiller's grains spread evenly without pressing the steam, so that the liquor steam can pass through during distillation, and the liquor yield can be improved. It can be seen that the traditional method of adding auxiliary materials and detecting steam is complicated, has high production cost, low production efficiency and high operation difficulty. In addition, bran contains pentosan, pectin and silicate, which can affect the quality of liquor during the brewing and fermentation process.
[0003] Secondly, the liquor production process needs to go through the spreading and airing process, also known as cooling, which is to cool the distiller's grains to the temperature of entering the cellar quickly and evenly, and to promote the volatilization of volatile acids and surface moisture of the distiller's grains as much as possible. The traditional spreading and airing process is to spread and air the distiller's grains on the ground manually, so the hygiene of the spreading and airing ground is very high. Since the distiller's grains are sticky, a lot of manpower and time are needed to spread the distiller's grains on the ground, which has high labor intensity and cannot guarantee the uniformity of the spread of the distiller's grains, resulting in uneven drying of the distiller's grains and affecting the uniform mixing of the distiller's grains and the koji. Moreover, the distiller's grains accumulated on the ground are dried by natural airing, which takes a long time and has low efficiency.
[0004] The inventor of the present application is dedicated to the research of liquor brewing equipment, and applied a spreading and airing koji adding device for distiller's grains with publication number CN118480417A in 2024. The device includes a rack and a chain conveyor arranged on the rack. The chain conveyor includes a chain plate. A cleaning water tank is arranged at one end of the rack close to the discharge port. A cleaning assembly for cleaning the chain plate is arranged in the cleaning water tank. Two first sprockets are arranged horizontally and at a certain distance apart in the cleaning water tank. A second sprocket is arranged below the first sprocket. The chain plate passes over the top of the first sprocket and the bottom of the second sprocket. The cleaning assembly includes two cleaning pipes arranged obliquely on both sides of the chain plate close to the inlet.
[0005] Through analysis, the above-mentioned application solves the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency of traditional manual spreading and airing, but the spreading and airing process still needs to transport the vinasse, that is, to transport the vinasse in the retort to the spreading and airing device, so that the transportation process is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming, and since the vinasse is spread and aired on the chain plate conveyor, a large amount of steam is generated in the spreading and airing process, the steam gathered in the workshop not only affects the vision of the operators, but also has certain safety hazards, and the steam rising to the overhead traveling crane track of the workshop and condensing can cause the overhead traveling crane to slip.

[0045] The following will be combined with the drawings Figures 1 to 5 Further illustrate the utility model.
[0046] Embodiment one
[0047] In view of the technical problems in the background art, the utility model provides a kind of auxiliary material tower type distillation device with distillation and spread air function.
[0048] In the specific technical scheme, auxiliary material tower type distillation device includes rack 1, retort 2, retort drawer 3, retort cover 4 and automatic uncovering assembly 5.
[0049] Among them, retort 2 is arranged in the side of rack 1, and steam pipe 201 for passing high-temperature steam into retort 2 is arranged on retort 2, and blowdown pipe 202 is arranged at the bottom of retort 2, and cleaning pipe 203 is arranged on retort 2.Six retort drawers 3 are stacked on retort 2, and retort drawer 3 is used to pack auxiliary material-free vinasse, and a plurality of steam holes (not shown in the figure) are arranged at the bottom of retort drawer 3, and the diameter of the steam hole is smaller than the diameter of the vinasse.Retort cover 4 is arranged on the top of the topmost retort drawer 3, and the top of retort cover 4 is connected with condenser 6 through air pipe 401, and condenser 6 is arranged on rack 1, and condenser 6 is used to cool wine steam and water vapor.Automatic uncovering assembly 5 is arranged on rack 1, and is used to automatically open retort cover 4.
[0050] Specifically, automatic uncovering assembly 5 includes cantilever 502 and first power mechanism 501, first power mechanism 501 adopts electric cylinder, one end of cantilever 502 is connected with retort cover 4, the other end of cantilever 502 is hinged with rack 1, the fixed end of first power mechanism 501 is hinged with rack 1, and the movable end of first power mechanism 501 is hinged with cantilever 502, and air pipe 401 is arranged on cantilever 502.
[0051] Working principle: high-temperature steam is introduced into the retort pot 2 through the steam pipe 201, the high-temperature steam generates wine steam by heating the wine lees in the retort drawer 3, the wine steam is connected with the condenser 6 through the air pipe 401, and the wine steam is cooled in the condenser 6 to become wine liquid; the automatic cover opening assembly 5 is used for automatically opening and closing the retort cover 4 before and after retorting, and the whole process is fully mechanized and has high intelligence. Compared with the traditional single large wine retort, the wine retort is provided with multiple small retort drawers, the wine lees in each retort drawer is controlled within a proper height range, the thickness of the wine lees in each retort drawer is reduced, and therefore the problem of wine lees pressing air caused by too thick wine lees does not occur, the wine lees are more loose, the gap between the wine lees is increased, the wine lees are evenly spread, and the wine yield is improved. After the wine retort is improved, the wine lees do not need to be added with auxiliary materials such as chaff before retorting, the wine making process is reduced, the production cost is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved; meanwhile, the problem of affecting wine quality caused by the chaff itself in the wine making and fermentation process is avoided; in addition, since the thickness of the wine lees in the retort drawer is reduced, the problem of wine lees pressing air does not exist, in other words, when the wine lees are retorted, the process step of “exploring air before retorting” does not need to be followed, and the wine lees can be directly placed in the retort drawer, so that the wine making process is reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the operation difficulty and requirement of the technical personnel are reduced.
[0052] Referring to Figure 4 , the bottom of the retort drawer 3 is conical, and the cross-sectional area of the conical portion gradually decreases from bottom to top. The bottom of the traditional retort barrel is flat, and the bottom of the retort drawer is designed to be conical in the present application. The inventor has found in practice that if the bottom of the retort drawer is flat, the vortex phenomenon of the wine steam in the retort drawer is large, the movement direction of the wine steam changes greatly, the wine steam flows in order slowly, the residence time of the wine steam is long, and the impact force and kinetic energy of the wine steam are small. Therefore, the bottom of the retort drawer is preferably conical. When the wine steam of the lower retort drawer flows to the upper retort drawer, the movement direction changes little, the vortex phenomenon of the wine steam in the retort drawer is small, the wine steam flows in order quickly, the impact force and kinetic energy of the wine steam are greater, the residence time of the wine steam in the retort drawer is short, and the conical retort drawer has a small destructive effect on the wine steam molecular network.
[0053] Referring to Figure 4 , the bottom of the retort drawer 3 is provided with a reinforcing rib 301. Since the bottom of the retort drawer is the main stress component of the wine retort, the reinforcing rib can enhance the stability of the bottom of the retort drawer and prevent it from being deformed.
[0054] Referring to Figure 5 , the top of the retort drawer 3 is provided with a guide plate 302, and the upper part of the guide plate 302 is flared. During the installation of the retort drawer, the guide plate plays a guiding role, so that the stacked retort drawers are more easily aligned, and the operation difficulty is reduced.
[0055] The height of the retort drawer 3 in the embodiment is 250mm-300mm, and the height of the auxiliary material-free distiller's grains in the retort drawer 3 is 190-210mm. The distiller's grains are controlled in the range, so that the passing rate of wine steam can be ensured without adding chaff, and the wine yield can be improved.
[0056] Embodiment Two
[0057] In order to realize the integrated operation of distillation and spreading, avoid the problems of time-consuming and labor-consuming in the transfer of distiller's grains and low spreading efficiency, on the basis of the embodiment one, the embodiment also has a spreading component.
[0058] In the specific technical solution, referring to Figure 1 , the spreading component includes a cold air pipe 7 arranged on the retort pot 2, and the cold air pipe 7 is used for introducing cooling air into the retort pot 2.
[0059] Working principle: when the distillation is completed, the steam pipe 201 is closed, and the cold air pipe 7 is opened, and the cooling air is introduced into the retort drawer 3 to cool and spread the auxiliary material-free distiller's grains, and the high-temperature steam after heat exchange is condensed into water through the condenser 6. The cooling air blown in the spreading can be divided into two stages: in the first stage, when the temperature of the distiller's grains is higher than 40℃, the cooling air blown in is indoor normal temperature air; when the temperature of the distiller's grains is lower than 40℃, the cooling air blown in is refrigerant air, so as to improve the efficiency.
[0060] From the above structure and working principle, the utility model has the following two advantages: one, the spreading step of the prior art needs to transfer the distiller's grains in the retort to the chain conveyor for spreading, and the utility model can realize the distillation and spreading two wine-making processes in the retort drawer, avoid the complicated steps of transferring the distiller's grains, reduce the process of transferring the distiller's grains, and improve the spreading efficiency; two, the prior art is to spread the distiller's grains on the chain conveyor, so that the workshop is full of steam, which not only affects the vision of the operator, has certain safety hidden danger, and the steam rising to the track of the workshop and condensed into water will cause the slipping of the car, while the utility model condenses the high-temperature steam after heat exchange into water through the condenser, so as to avoid the gathering of steam in the workshop affecting the vision of the operator, reduce the safety hidden danger, avoid the problem that the steam rising to the track of the workshop and condensed into water will cause the slipping of the car, and also avoid the environmental pollution.
[0061] In order to further improve the spreading efficiency and the utilization rate of cooling air, the cold air pipe 7 is arranged eccentrically on the retort pot 2, that is, the cold air pipe 7 does not directly face the middle part of the retort pot 2, but enters the retort pot 2 in a tangent direction of the side wall of the retort pot 2, so that the cooling air entering the retort pot 2 from the cold air pipe 7 flows along the inner wall of the retort pot 2 to form an air flow, and the cold air pipe 7 is arranged obliquely upward, so that a spiral wind is formed in the retort drawer, the spiral wind has large wind power and strong penetration, can quickly take away the heat of the wine lees, thereby achieving the effect of rapid cooling, shortening the spreading time and improving the spreading efficiency.
[0062] Embodiment three
[0063] With reference to Figure 5 On the basis of the first embodiment, the sealing ring 8 is arranged on the top of the retort pot 2 and the retort drawer 3, which plays a sealing role and avoids the loss of wine steam.
[0064] With reference to Figure 5 The middle part of the sealing ring 8 is provided with a through hole 801, and the surface of the sealing ring 8 is provided with a plurality of grooves 802. The cross section of the traditional sealing ring is circular, and the deformation ability is poor. The through hole and the grooves are arranged on the sealing ring, which is to improve the deformation ability of the sealing ring. In the sealing process, the through hole and the groove reserve a certain space for the deformation of the sealing ring, so that the deformation ability of the sealing ring is enhanced, and the sealing ring can well fill the gap between the adjacent retort drawers, retort covers and retort pots, so as to ensure that the wine steam does not leak. The sealing ring has a certain flexibility and a certain rigidity after being compressed, thereby ensuring the air tightness of the wine still.
[0065] With reference to Figure 5 The cross section of the through hole 801 in the embodiment is oval, which can protect the sealing ring. If the through hole is arranged in a square or other prism structure, the corner of the through hole is easy to crack after being extruded, which damages the sealing ring. Therefore, the through hole is arranged in a circular shape.
[0066] With reference to Figure 5 In the embodiment, the groove depth of the grooves on the transverse two sides of the sealing ring is less than the groove depth of the grooves on the longitudinal two sides. Since the main pressure on the sealing ring comes from the retort drawer and the retort cover on the top of the sealing ring, the main stress direction of the sealing ring is vertical. Therefore, the groove depth of the grooves on the transverse two sides of the sealing ring is less than the groove depth of the grooves on the longitudinal two sides, which provides more space and gap for the deformation of the sealing ring in the vertical direction, improves the deformation ability of the sealing ring, and further ensures the air tightness of the wine still.
[0067] With reference to Figure 5The present embodiment is provided with a clamping strip 303 on the retort drawer 3, and a limiting clamping groove 803 matched with the clamping strip 303 is arranged on the sealing ring 8.
[0068] The above detailed description is further detailed for the purpose, technical scheme and beneficial effects of the present application, and it should be understood that the above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, and is not used to limit the protection scope of the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
