Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beer manufacturing equipment, and in particular to a water-saving device for malting, ventilation, overflow, and malt water separation. Background Technology
[0002] Beer is a carbonated, effervescent, low-alcohol fermented beverage made primarily from malt and water, with the addition of hops, and fermented by yeast. The malting, ventilation, overflow, and water-saving malt-water separation device is a specialized piece of equipment used in the malt production process to achieve malting, ventilation, overflow, and water-water separation, while also conserving water.
[0003] During the soaking process, the barley is immersed in the soaking tank, and the blower continuously ventilates the tank to keep the barley boiling. When the soaking water reaches a certain height, the excess water and impurities are discharged through the overflow pipe. During the overflow process, the separation hopper and settling tank use the principles of floating, sedimentation, expansion and diversion to make the barley settle in the settling tank, while impurities such as husks and third-grade barley float with the water to the overflow port and flow out through the overflow pipe.
[0004] Traditional equipment may lack effective separation components, causing solid particles such as barley to easily flow out with the water during the overflow process, making it impossible to achieve thorough separation of barley and water. Due to the lack of a dedicated separation design, traditional equipment may have low separation efficiency when processing large amounts of soaking water, affecting subsequent production processes. The internal structure of traditional equipment may also be poorly designed, resulting in uneven water flow within the soaking tank, which can easily create eddies and dead zones. Due to poor hydrodynamic characteristics, solid particles such as barley can easily be carried out of the soaking tank by the water flow, increasing raw material loss. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of poor wheat water separation in existing technologies by proposing a water-saving device for wheat soaking, ventilation, overflow, and separation.
[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A water-saving device for separating barley water through ventilation overflow includes a soaking tank, a separation component, and a feeding trough. A protective plate is provided on the soaking tank. The separation component is installed on the soaking tank and is used to separate barley and barley water in use. The feeding trough is installed on the soaking tank.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the protective plate is provided with a connecting frame, and multiple sets of the connecting frame are provided, with mounting rings provided between the multiple sets of the connecting frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting frame is evenly distributed along the circumference with the protective plate as the center.
[0010] Furthermore, an overflow pipe for the wheat water to flow out is provided at the bottom of the feeding trough.
[0011] Furthermore, the separation assembly includes a separation hopper, a first baffle plate, and a second baffle plate; the separation hopper is disposed on the inner wall of the soaking tank, and a guide plate is disposed at the bottom of the separation hopper; the first baffle plate is disposed in the middle of the separation hopper; the second baffle plate is disposed on both sides of the separation hopper and connected to the inner wall of the soaking tank.
[0012] Furthermore, both the soaking tank and the separating hopper are provided with strip-shaped grooves for the wheat water to flow into the feeding trough.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In this invention, by setting a separation component, it is possible to ensure that solid particles such as barley are effectively intercepted in the soaking tank during the overflow process, preventing them from flowing out with the water. This helps to achieve more thorough separation of barley and water and improves separation efficiency. Furthermore, it can optimize the fluid dynamics characteristics in the soaking tank, making the water flow smoother and reducing the possibility of barley being carried out by the water flow.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Example: This example provides a water-saving device for wheat soaking, ventilation, overflow, and water separation. See [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 Specifically, it includes a soaking tank 1, a separation component, and a feeding trough 5; the soaking tank 1 is provided with a protective plate 2, and the inner wall of the protective plate 2 is provided with a connecting frame 3, which is evenly distributed around the protective plate 2 in a circumferential direction. There are multiple sets of connecting frames 3, and mounting rings 4 are provided between the multiple sets of connecting frames 3; the separation component is provided on the soaking tank 1 and is used to separate barley and barley water in use; the feeding trough 5 is provided on the soaking tank 1, and the bottom of the feeding trough 5 is provided with an overflow pipe 8 for the barley water to flow out.
[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the separation assembly includes a separation hopper 6, a first baffle plate 7, and a second baffle plate 10; the separation hopper 6 is disposed on the inner wall of the soaking tank 1, and a guide plate 11 is disposed at the bottom of the separation hopper 6; the first baffle plate 7 is disposed in the middle of the separation hopper 6; the second baffle plate 10 is disposed on both sides of the separation hopper 6 and connected to the inner wall of the soaking tank 1.
[0024] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the soaking tank 1 and the separating hopper 6 are provided with strip-shaped grooves 9 for the wheat water to flow into the feeding trough 5.
[0025] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:
[0026] In use, the blower outside the soaking tank 1 blows air into the soaking tank 1 through the blower nozzle via the pipe, thereby agitating the barley water inside the soaking tank 1. When the barley water passes through the first baffle plate 7 and the second baffle plate 10, it can change the direction of fluid flow, causing the fluid to flow in a tortuous channel, thereby increasing the turbulence intensity. This not only helps to improve heat transfer efficiency, but also promotes the separation of impurities such as barley, husks, and third-grade barley from the water. Therefore, the barley water and impurities flow out from the overflow pipe 8 through the separation hopper 6, the strip trough 9, and the discharge trough 5, while the barley flows back to the soaking tank 1 under the action of the guide plate 11 when it flows through the separation hopper 6, preventing it from flowing out with the water. This helps to achieve more thorough separation of barley water and improve separation efficiency.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
