However, a large number of microorganisms will remain, which may affect the fermentation effect of the mixing tank. Therefore, it is necessary to design a craft beer mixing tank with good performance. Utility Model Content

[0010] The stirring mechanism includes a motor base fixedly mounted on the side plate, a stirring motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor base, and a stirring frame fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor via a coupling. Through the configuration of the mixing components, during use, the use of a sealing cover or the stirring mechanism can be selected as needed by starting and controlling the directional motor. Furthermore, the use of a telescopic hydraulic cylinder can be started and controlled to insert the sealing cover or the stirring mechanism into the stirring hole to fill it, thereby achieving a sealing effect on the tank.

[0011] The connecting frame mechanism is set up so that, during use, the directional motor is started and controlled to drive the directional gear to rotate, which in turn drives the linkage gear and the shaft on the linkage gear to rotate, thereby adjusting the direction of use of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder on the directional side plate, as well as the sealing cover and stirring mechanism on the telescopic hydraulic cylinder.

[0012] The mixing tank includes a side connecting frame, one end of which is fixedly connected to the tank body. The top of the tank body has a stirring hole, and heating ring plates are provided on both sides of the tank body. By using the mixing tank and a cold air blower, the tank body and the beer liquid inside can be heated during use.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The craft beer mixing tank, through the setting of the mixing components, allows for selection of whether to use a sealing cover or a stirring mechanism as needed by starting and controlling the directional motor during use, and the use of a telescopic hydraulic cylinder to insert the sealing cover or stirring mechanism into the stirring hole to fill it, thereby achieving a sealing effect on the tank body.

[0022] The connecting frame mechanism is designed so that, during use, the directional motor is started and controlled, which drives the directional gear to rotate, thereby driving the linkage gear and the shaft on the linkage gear to rotate. This allows the telescopic hydraulic cylinder on the directional side plate, as well as the sealing cover and stirring mechanism on the telescopic hydraulic cylinder, to be adjusted in terms of their operating direction.

[0023] 2. This craft beer mixing tank, through its design and the use of a cooling fan, can heat the tank and the beer liquid inside during use. The cooling fan also helps to control the temperature of the tank, maintaining the temperature required for the saccharification stage, such as 65℃ to promote β-amylase activity. The stirring mechanism ensures that the beer liquid in the tank remains in a relatively uniform state.

[0024] 3. This craft beer mixing tank, through the setting of the base assembly, uses lifting hydraulic cylinders for start-up and control during use. By operating the lifting hydraulic cylinders on both sides, the position of the bracket is raised or lowered. The bracket supports the bottom of the tank, thereby enabling the tank to rotate within a certain range along the central axis of the side connecting frame. This allows the auxiliary stirring mechanism to shake and evenly mix the beer liquid inside the tank, thereby improving the fermentation effect of the beer liquid. Attached Figure Description

Example 2

[0038] Based on Embodiment 1, a preferred embodiment of the craft beer mixing tank provided by this utility model is, for example...

With the addition of the mixing tank 1 and the use of the cooling fan 4, the tank 101 and the beer liquid inside it can be heated during use. The cooling fan 4 also helps to control the temperature of the tank 101, maintaining the temperature required for the saccharification stage, such as 65℃ to promote β-amylase activity. The stirring mechanism 202 ensures that the beer liquid in the tank 101 remains relatively uniform. With the addition of the base assembly 3, the lifting hydraulic cylinder 302 is activated and controlled during use. By operating the lifting hydraulic cylinders 302 on both sides, the position of the support 303 is raised or lowered. The support 303 supports the bottom of the tank 101, allowing the tank 101 to rotate within a certain range along the central axis of the side connecting frame 102. This helps the stirring mechanism 202 to shake and even out the beer liquid inside the tank 101, thereby improving the fermentation effect of the beer liquid.
