[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN216386959U) that discloses a concentration detection device for edible alcohol production, comprising a probe, an adjustment structure, a protective structure, and an instrument panel. The probe includes a fixed rod and an extension rod, with an adjustment structure between them. The lower end of the probe is fixedly connected to the protective structure, and the upper end is fixedly connected to the instrument panel. The advantages are: the adjustment structure allows for adjustment of the length of the alcohol detection device, enabling it to adapt to different sizes of alcohol production tanks, increasing ease of use; the length can be adjusted according to actual usage, making it easier for the probe to detect alcohol concentration, further enhancing usability; and the protective structure protects the probe during storage, preventing collision damage and ensuring its continued effectiveness. However, this device requires the probe to be placed inside the alcohol for detection. If the probe is partially adhered to by dirt, this dirt may enter the edible alcohol during detection, contaminating the alcohol and affecting its quality. Utility Model Content

The bottom end of the arc-shaped water guide hole 603 is connected to several nozzles 604. The several nozzles 604 are arranged in a ring at the bottom end of the arc-shaped water guide hole 603. When it is necessary to rinse the inner wall of the detection tube 1, the water guide pipe 602 is connected to the water pipe, so that the water inside the water pipe enters the water guide pipe 602. Then, the water is guided into the arc-shaped water guide hole 603 through the water guide pipe 602, and then into the nozzles 604 through the arc-shaped water guide hole 603. The water is then sprayed out into the detection tube 1 through the nozzles 604, thereby rinsing the alcohol inside the detection tube 1 and avoiding alcohol residue.

The drain component 7 also includes a drain pipe 701 connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the detection tube 1. A solenoid valve 702 is installed on the inner wall of the drain pipe 701. Several mounting seats 2 are fixedly connected to one end of the outer wall of the detection tube 1. Several fixing screws 3 are threaded to both ends of each mounting seat 2.
[0027] Working principle and usage procedure: The mounting base 2 on one side of the detection tube 1 is attached to the outer wall of the alcohol brewing device. The mounting base 2 is then threadedly fixed to the outer wall of the alcohol brewing device using the fixing screw 3. The inlet 402 of the pneumatic diaphragm pump 401 is then engaged and fixed to the inner wall pipe of the alcohol brewing device. When detection is required, the pneumatic diaphragm pump 401 is started, allowing alcohol to enter the inlet 402.
