Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of beer brewing, and more specifically, to a heated mashing tank for beer brewing. Background Technology

[0002] In beer brewing, mashing is a crucial step, relying on specialized mashing equipment to treat the raw materials. However, traditional mashing equipment mostly uses a method of directly adding the raw materials and heating them, lacking effective means of uniformly stirring the materials inside. This uneven heating and mixing results in a prolonged mashing process. Therefore, we provide a heated mashing tank for beer brewing. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem that most conventional saccharification equipment mentioned in the background technology adopts the method of directly putting raw materials into it for heating, lacking an effective means of uniformly stirring the raw materials inside, resulting in uneven heating and mixing and causing the raw materials to take a long time to saccharify, this utility model provides a heated saccharification tank for beer brewing.

[0004] The present invention provides a heating and mashing tank for beer brewing, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A heated mashing tank for beer brewing, comprising a placement cylinder;

[0011] A rotating shaft is disposed inside the feeding cylinder, and a disc is provided at the bottom end of the rotating shaft, and a notch adapted to the discharge port is provided on the disc;

[0012] A drive mechanism, mounted on the saccharification tank, is used to drive the stirring shaft and the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0013] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes an L-shaped plate fixedly mounted on the top of the saccharification tank, a drive shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the L-shaped plate, a drive gear one mounted at the bottom end of the drive shaft, a driven gear one mounted at the top end of the stirring shaft, the drive gear one meshing with the driven gear one, a drive gear two mounted at the top end of the drive shaft, a driven gear two mounted at the top end of the rotating shaft, the drive gear two meshing with the driven gear two, and a driving component for driving the drive shaft to rotate mounted on the top of the L-shaped plate.

[0014] Preferably, the diameter of the driven gear two is greater than the diameter of the driving gear one, the diameter of the driving gear one is greater than the diameter of the driving gear two, and the diameter of the driving gear two is equal to the diameter of the driven gear one.

[0020] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] Raw materials are fed into the saccharification tank through a feeding hopper. Then, a drive mechanism drives the stirring shaft to rotate, causing the stirring blades on the shaft to mix the raw materials in the saccharification tank. Simultaneously, the shaft rotates, causing the disc inside the feeding hopper to rotate. When the notch on the disc rotates and contacts the discharge port, the raw materials in the feeding hopper can enter the saccharification tank through the channel between the discharge port and the notch. When the discharge port and the notch are completely misaligned, the raw materials in the feeding hopper stop discharging. Through this structural design, the raw materials in the saccharification tank can be stirred and mixed, and the raw materials can be discharged into the saccharification tank in equal and continuous portions. This avoids the problem of excessive raw materials being discharged and incomplete mixing, which would lead to a long saccharification time.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] This utility model discloses a heated mashing tank for beer brewing. (See also...) Figures 1 to 5 A heated mashing tank for beer brewing, comprising a placement cylinder 1;

[0033] Saccharification tank 2 is located inside placement cylinder 1;

[0034] The stirring and feeding components are installed on the saccharification tank 2;

[0035] The mixing and feeding components include:

[0036] A stirring shaft 3 is installed inside the saccharification tank 2, and stirring blades are installed on the stirring shaft 3;

[0037] The feeding cylinder 4 is located at the top of the saccharification tank 2. The feeding cylinder 4 has a discharge port 5, and the discharge port 5 is connected to the saccharification tank 2.

[0038] A rotating shaft 6 is installed inside the feeding cylinder 4. A disc 7 is installed at the bottom end of the rotating shaft 6, and a notch 8 that matches the discharge port 5 is provided on the disc 7.

[0039] The drive mechanism 9 is located on the saccharification tank 2 and is used to drive the stirring shaft 3 and the rotating shaft 6 to rotate.

[0040] In this embodiment, raw materials are fed into the saccharification tank 2 through the feeding cylinder 4, and then the stirring shaft 3 is driven to rotate by the driving mechanism 9. The stirring blades on the stirring shaft 3 stir and mix the raw materials in the saccharification tank 2. At the same time, the rotating shaft 6 rotates, and the disc 6 inside the feeding cylinder 4 rotates. When the notch 8 on the disc 7 rotates and contacts the discharge port 5, the raw materials in the feeding cylinder 4 can enter the saccharification tank 2 through the channel between the discharge port 5 and the notch 8. When the discharge port 5 and the notch 8 are completely misaligned, the raw materials in the feeding cylinder 4 stop being discharged. Through this structural design, the raw materials in the saccharification tank 2 can be stirred and mixed, and the raw materials can be discharged into the saccharification tank 2 in equal and continuous portions. This avoids the problem of excessive raw material discharge and incomplete mixing, which leads to a long saccharification time.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 9 includes an L-shaped plate 900 fixedly mounted on the top of the saccharification tank 2. The bottom of the L-shaped plate 900 is rotatably connected to a drive shaft 901. The bottom end of the drive shaft 901 is equipped with a drive gear 902. The top end of the stirring shaft 3 is equipped with a driven gear 903. The drive gear 902 and the driven gear 903 are meshed together. The top end of the drive shaft 901 is equipped with a drive gear 904. The top end of the rotating shaft 6 is equipped with a driven gear 905. The drive gear 904 and the driven gear 905 are meshed together. The top of the L-shaped plate 900 is equipped with a drive component 906 for driving the drive shaft 901 to rotate.

[0042] For the use of drive mechanism 9, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drive shaft 901 is driven to rotate by the drive component 906. The rotation of the drive shaft 901 causes the drive gear 902 and the drive gear 904 to rotate, thereby causing the driven gear 903 and the driven gear 904 to rotate. This allows the stirring shaft 3 and the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, thus completing the rotation of the stirring blades and the disc 7.

[0043] Specifically, the diameter of driven gear 2 905 is larger than the diameter of driving gear 1 902, the diameter of driving gear 1 902 is larger than the diameter of driving gear 2 904, and the diameter of driving gear 2 904 is equal to the diameter of driven gear 1 903. This design arrangement can ensure that the stirring blades rotate and stir quickly in the saccharification tank 2, while the disc 7 can rotate relatively slowly, thereby ensuring the amount of material fed.

[0044] Specifically, the drive component 906 is a motor.

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the saccharification tank 2 is equipped with a shield 10. The driving gear 902 and the driven gear 903 are both arranged on the shield 10. By setting the shield 10, the raw materials in the saccharification tank 2 can be prevented from splashing onto the gears.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the placement cylinder 1 is equipped with a heating element 11, which is an electric heating wire used to heat the raw materials in the saccharification tank 2.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, a discharge pipe 12 is provided at the bottom of the saccharification tank 2. A valve is installed in the discharge pipe 12. By setting up the discharge pipe 12, the saccharified pipeline can be discharged externally.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an input pipe 13 is provided on the side of the feed cylinder 4. The input pipe 13 is connected to an external raw material conveying pipe, so that raw materials can be continuously conveyed into the feed cylinder 4.
