Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, specifically to a transfer box for the entry and exit of brewing mash in and out of the cellar. Background Technology
[0002] In the liquor brewing industry, the transfer of mash is a key link in production. However, existing mash transfer boxes have significant problems with poor sealing performance. The transfer box for mash entering and leaving the cellar is an important piece of equipment specially designed for the transfer of mash in the liquor brewing process, and plays a key role in the transportation of mash from the cellar to the production stage.
[0003] Existing transfer boxes typically use only a simple snap-fit structure at the top closure, which cannot fit tightly. As a result, the alcohol in the mash is very easy to evaporate during the transfer process, especially in high-temperature environments, where the evaporation rate is accelerated. This not only wastes a lot of alcohol resources and increases production costs, but also reduces the alcohol content in the mash, affecting the quality of subsequent fermentation and the final quality of the wine.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a transfer box for the transfer of mash into and out of the cellar. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a transfer box for the entry and exit of fermentation mash in and out of the cellar.
[0006] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A transfer box for transporting fermented mash in and out of a cellar, characterized in that it includes a box body with a lid rotatably fitted on the upper side; an annular protrusion is provided on the upper side of the box body, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the upper side of the annular protrusion, an annular airbag is installed inside the arc-shaped groove, an annular mating groove is formed on the lower side of the lid to mate with the annular protrusion, an installation groove is formed on one side of the inner wall of the box body, a compression mechanism is provided inside the installation groove, and two connecting bends are fixedly connected to the lower side of the annular airbag.
[0008] Furthermore, the extrusion mechanism includes a slide rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove, a trapezoidal block slidingly and elastically fitted on the slide rod, two extrusion grooves on one side of the trapezoidal block, a U-shaped frame slidingly fitted on the inner wall of each extrusion groove, gas chambers on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove, piston rods fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two U-shaped frames, and two extrusion blocks fixedly connected to the upper side of the trapezoidal block.
[0009] Furthermore, the extrusion block is slidably connected to the upper side of the housing, the piston rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the gas chamber, and one end of the connecting bend is connected to the gas chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, both sides of the box are equipped with lifting lugs, and two forklift slots are opened on one side of the box.
[0011] Furthermore, a handle is installed on one side of the box, and multiple casters are installed on the lower side of the box.
[0012] Furthermore, a cleaning pipe is fixedly connected to the lower side of the box, and a control valve is installed on the cleaning pipe.
[0013] Furthermore, two spring clips are fixedly connected to one side of the box body, and two snap-fit blocks that cooperate with the spring clips are fixedly connected to one side of the box cover.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1) The squeezing mechanism is driven by the pressing and squeezing block when the lid is closed, so that gas can quickly enter the annular airbag to achieve a seal. Compared with the simple snap-fit sealing method of traditional transfer boxes, this operation can precisely control the degree of sealing and form a tight sealing structure.
[0016] 2) The design of the lifting lugs and forklift slots is compatible with multiple handling methods, meeting the transfer needs in different scenarios and greatly improving work efficiency;
[0017] 3) The handle and casters make the transport box easy and flexible to move;

[0030] As a further technical solution of this embodiment, the extrusion mechanism includes a slide rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove, a trapezoidal block slidingly and elastically fitted on the slide rod, two extrusion grooves being opened on one side of the trapezoidal block, a U-shaped frame slidingly fitted on the inner wall of each extrusion groove, gas chambers being opened on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove, piston rods being fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two U-shaped frames, and two extrusion blocks being fixedly connected to the upper side of the trapezoidal block.
[0031] As a further technical solution of this embodiment, the extrusion block is slidably connected to the upper side of the box, the piston rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the gas chamber, and one end of the connecting bend is connected to the gas chamber.
[0032] As a further technical solution of this embodiment, lifting lugs are installed on both sides of the box, and two forklift slots are opened on one side of the box.
[0033] As a further technical solution of this embodiment, a handle is installed on one side of the box, and multiple casters are installed on the lower side of the box.
[0034] As a further technical solution of this embodiment, a cleaning pipe is fixedly connected to the lower side of the box, and a control valve is installed on the cleaning pipe.
[0035] As a further technical solution of this embodiment, two spring clips are fixedly connected to one side of the box body, and two snap-fit blocks that cooperate with the spring clips are fixedly connected to one side of the box cover.
[0036] The working principle of this utility model:
[0037] 1) When the transfer box needs to be sealed, the box cover 2 is closed onto the box body 1 through the annular groove 6 that matches the annular protrusion 3 on the upper side of the box body 1. The box cover 2 is initially fixed by the cooperation of the spring buckle 16 and the snap block 17. At this time, the annular airbag 5 is located in the arc-shaped groove 4 of the annular protrusion 3 and below the annular groove 6 of the box cover 2. During the transfer of mash, if it is necessary to clean the mash and other impurities remaining at the bottom of the box body 1, the control valve 15 on the cleaning pipe 14 can be opened to discharge the impurities through the cleaning pipe 14. The lifting lugs 10 on both sides of the transfer box can be used with cranes and other lifting equipment for lifting. The forklift slot 11 facilitates the handling by forklifts, and the universal wheels 13 on the lower side facilitate the flexible movement of the transfer box on the ground.
[0038] 2) When the lid 2 is closed, it compresses the compression block 87. The compression block 87 drives the trapezoidal block 82 to slide downwards on the slide rod 81. Due to the elastic fit between the slide rod 81 and the trapezoidal block 82, when the trapezoidal block 82 moves, the compression groove 83 on its side will push the U-shaped frame 84 to move to both sides. The U-shaped frame 84 drives the piston rod 86 to slide on the inner wall of the gas chamber 85. As the piston rod 86 slides, the gas in the gas chamber 85 is forced into the annular airbag 5 through the connecting bend pipe 9. The annular airbag 5 is filled with gas. Gradually expanding, it tightly fills the gap between the annular protrusion 3 and the box cover 2, achieving an efficient seal for the transfer box. When the transfer box needs to be opened, the locking of the spring buckle 16 and the locking block 17 is released. Due to the elastic cooperation between the slide rod 81 and the trapezoidal block 82, the trapezoidal block 82 slides upward and resets under the action of elastic restoring force, while driving the squeezing block 87 to move upward. At this time, the gas in the annular airbag 5 flows back to the gas chamber 85 through the connecting bend 9, the annular airbag 5 contracts, and the box cover 2 can be easily opened.
[0039] This invention features a compression mechanism. When the lid is closed, pressing the compression block allows gas to enter the annular air bladder. The annular air bladder expands and tightly fills the gap between the box and the lid. Compared to traditional transfer box sealing methods, this effectively prevents the evaporation of liquor from the mash, avoiding resource waste and quality degradation caused by liquor loss. At the same time, the excellent sealing performance resists the intrusion of external air, dust, and bacteria, avoiding problems such as fermentation environment disturbance and mash contamination caused by poor sealing in traditional transfer boxes. This ensures stable mash quality and improves the quality of baijiu brewing.
