[0002] Blending is a crucial step in baijiu production. Its purpose is to adjust the taste, aroma, and alcohol content of the baijiu by mixing base spirits of different ages, aroma types, and flavors in specific proportions, thereby achieving a unified quality standard. However, in actual production, baijiu raw materials are prone to precipitation during storage. These precipitates are mainly formed by the gradual separation of organic components (such as higher fatty acid esters and organic acids) from the raw materials during storage. When these precipitates are not sufficiently dispersed, it leads to uneven mixing of the raw materials, thus affecting blending efficiency and the stability of the taste and flavor of the blended baijiu.

[0023] It also includes a second pipe 105; four second pipes 105 are provided inside the first rotating shaft 5; the second rotating shaft 106 is in an empty state; a sampling port 4001 is provided on the partition 4; the sampling port 4001 on each partition 4 is connected to the adjacent second rotating shaft 106; the second rotating shaft 106 passes through the driver 102 and is connected to the second pipe 105; the second pipe 105 is connected to an external air pump; valves are provided on the second rotating shaft 106 and the sampling port 4001.
[0024] It also includes a second driver 107, an electric push rod 103, and a guide plate 201; the second driver 107 is provided on the top cover 3, and the second driver 107 is a DD motor; the output end of the second driver 107 is provided with four electric push rods 103 through a connecting ring; the output end of each electric push rod 103 is provided with a guide plate 201 for guiding the movement of foam generated during the blending of liquor.
[0025] A sealing strip is provided on the side of the partition 4 to increase the lateral sealing between the partition 4 and the side wall of the cylinder 2.
[0026] The guide plate 201 is arc-shaped to enhance the guidance of foam on the surface of the liquor.
[0027] A level gauge is installed inside cylinder 2 to determine the liquid level of the liquor inside cylinder 2.
[0028] The cylinder 2 is made of transparent material, which makes it easy for bartenders to observe whether the foam on the surface of the liquor inside the cylinder 2 has been cleaned up.
[0029] The working process of this liquor blending and stirring device is as follows:
[0030] In operation, the worker first connects the base liquor required for blending the liquor to the inlet 2002 via a pipe, and then uses a water pump to draw the base liquor into the raw material mixing zone 2003. At this time, the partition 4 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the raw materials for the liquor inside cylinder 2 are separated. Next, gas is pumped into the first pipe 104 using an air pump, and the gas is ejected from the air outlet 5001. The airflow agitates the base liquor in each raw material mixing zone 2003, ensuring thorough mixing. Afterwards, the partitions 4 in the same row are flipped by the driver 102, bringing them to a horizontal position. It is important to note that the partitions 4 flip intermittently, and adjacent rows of partitions 4 flip alternately. Figure 6 As shown, the motor 101 then drives the partition 4 and the first rotating shaft 5 to rotate, further agitating the base liquor and ensuring thorough mixing to complete the blending of the liquor. The alternating rotation of the partitions 4 in adjacent columns improves the mixing efficiency of the liquor during the stirring process.
[0031] Furthermore, during the blending process, the bartender needs to sample and taste the blended liquor to ensure it meets their palate. If not, more base liquor needs to be added and stirred. Therefore, this invention incorporates a sampling port 4001. The depth of the liquor within the cylinder 2 is detected by a level gauge. Then, the valves of the second rotating shaft 106 and sampling port 4001, located on the surface of the liquor, are opened via system control. A pump connected to the second pipe 105 draws a sample. Samples from the middle and bottom of the liquor are taken for the bartender to taste. This not only determines whether the blend is even but also whether the taste is satisfactory. If not, more base liquor needs to be added through the feed inlet 2002. This process is repeated, sampling multiple times to assess the blending until a satisfactory result is achieved. It is important to note that when the valves of the second rotating shaft 106 and sampling port 4001 at different depths are open, the valves of other second rotating shafts 106 and sampling ports 4001 are closed.
[0032] After the bartender confirms the blending of the baijiu through tasting, the blended baijiu is discharged through the outlet 2001 and stored in a container. Furthermore, to fully utilize existing base liquor resources and avoid the additional costs incurred from frequent base liquor replacement, after discharging a portion of the liquor, the device can control the driver 102 to rotate the horizontally oriented partition 4 by 90 degrees, making the partition 4 vertical. At this point, the partition 4 is in the following state: Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder 2 is divided into four raw material mixing zones 2003. When the discharge port 2001 is opened, only the liquor in the raw material mixing zone 2003 connected to the discharge port 2001 will be discharged.
[0033] Furthermore, due to stirring, a layer of foam may float on the surface of the liquor, which will affect its taste. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the foam from the surface of the liquor. At this time, the depth of the liquor is determined by a level gauge, and then the valve at the sampling port 4001 on the partition 4 on the surface of the liquor and the valve on the second rotating shaft 106 are opened. Then, the electric push rod 103 drives the guide plate 201 to move downward, so that the guide plate 201 contacts the surface of the liquor. Then, the second driver 107 drives the guide plate 201 to rotate counterclockwise from top to bottom, guiding the foam to the sampling port 4001, through which the foam is drawn away. Then, the electric push rod 103 drives the guide plate 201 to move upward, so that the guide plate 201 separates from the surface of the liquor. Finally, the second driver 107 drives the guide plate 201 to rotate clockwise from top to bottom, returning it to its initial state. The driver 107 drives the guide plate 201 to rotate reciprocally, guiding the foam on the surface of the liquor towards the sampling port 4001, improving the foam removal efficiency, and reducing the amount of liquor drawn away by the sampling port 4001, thus reducing liquor waste. It should be noted that in the above-mentioned working process of this invention, the partition 4... Figure 3 As shown, the second driver 107 drives the guide plate 201 to rotate by 45 degrees.
[0034] Based on the above workflow, we can see that this utility model has the following effects:
[0035] The cylinder 2 is divided into four raw material mixing zones 2003 by the partition 4, which separates the base liquor during the blending of baijiu. The base liquor is stirred by the gas blown out of the air outlet 5001 on the first rotating shaft 5, so that the base liquor is fully mixed to achieve the best taste, which is convenient for subsequent blending of baijiu and improves the blending efficiency of baijiu.
[0036] The partitions 4 in the same column are flipped by the driver 102, so that the partitions 4 are in a horizontal state. The partitions 4 flip intermittently, and the partitions 4 in adjacent columns flip alternately (e.g., ...). Figure 6 (as shown), to optimize the blending effect.
[0037] The depth of the liquor is detected by the level gauge inside the cylinder 2. Then, the valves of the second rotating shaft 106 and the sampling port 4001 located on the surface of the liquor are opened by the system control. The air pump connected to the second pipeline 105 is used to sample the liquor inside the cylinder 2 so that the bartender can taste the blended liquor in time to see if it meets the taste.
[0038] The electric push rod 103 drives the guide plate 201 downwards, bringing it into contact with the surface of the liquor. Then, the driver 107 drives the guide plate 201 to rotate counterclockwise (viewed from above), guiding the foam towards the sampling port 4001, and then removing the foam through the sampling port 4001. This improves the foam removal efficiency and reduces the amount of liquor removed by the sampling port 4001, thus reducing waste.
[0039] The additional technical effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0040] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cylinder 2 of this utility model is made of transparent material. During the process of removing the foam on the surface of the liquor through the sampling port 4001, the transparent cylinder 2 makes it easy for the bartender to observe the cleaning of the foam on the surface of the liquor inside the cylinder 2.
