Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, and in particular to a digital metering device for yellow water back mash. Background Technology

[0002] Yellow water is a byproduct of the brewing process of strong-aroma baijiu. It contains abundant alcohols, acids, aldehydes, and esters, playing a crucial role in enriching the aroma of baijiu. Therefore, one of its uses is in back-fermentation, enhancing the aroma and taste of the baijiu. Currently, the measurement method for yellow water in back-fermentation is done by counting in buckets using a timer. This method is not only labor-intensive but also prone to inaccuracies and unevenness due to variations in pipeline pressure and improper operation. These issues not only affect the effectiveness and efficiency of back-fermentation but also hinder the company's precise management of material measurement.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a digital metering device that combines metering, control, and monitoring functions to solve problems such as inaccurate metering and uneven fermentation during the yellow water back-fermentation process, which affect the quality and management of brewing.

It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] The digital metering device for yellow water re-fermentation described in this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a flow meter 1, a solenoid valve 2, an embedded system 3, a nozzle 5, and a hose 6.

[0023] One end of the hose 6 is detachably connected to the outlet of the yellow water pipe 7, and the other end is detachably connected to the nozzle 5. Flow meter 1 and solenoid valve 2 are installed on the hose 6 at the end connected to the nozzle 5. Embedded system 3 is electrically connected to solenoid valve 2 and flow meter 1. Flow meter 1 is used to measure the real-time yellow water flow rate in hose 6. Embedded system 3 is used to set the yellow water usage and accumulate the real-time yellow water flow rate in hose 6 monitored by flow meter 1. After the accumulated yellow water usage reaches the set amount, embedded system 3 controls solenoid valve 2 to close.

[0024] The embedded system 3 includes a microprocessor, buttons, a display, and a WiFi module. The buttons are used to set the amount of yellow water used, the display is used to show the real-time flow rate and cumulative amount of yellow water used in the hose 6, the microprocessor controls the solenoid valve to close after the amount of yellow water used reaches the set amount, and the WiFi module is used to upload the real-time flow rate and cumulative amount of yellow water used to the cloud platform for storage.

[0025] Preferably, the digital metering device for yellow water re-fermentation also includes a manual valve 4, which is installed between the solenoid valve 2 and the nozzle 5.

[0026] Preferably, nozzle 5 is a variable diameter nozzle, and the spray diameter of nozzle 5 can be selected according to the size of the pit 8 to be sprayed with yellow water.

[0027] Specifically, flow meter 1 is a stainless steel turbine flow meter, and hose 6 is a bellows. The turbine flow meter is installed at the end of the bellows via a retaining ring and is used to measure the real-time flow rate of yellow water within the bellows. Solenoid valve 2 is a normally closed solenoid valve, connected to the turbine flow meter via a threaded connection. Manual valve 4 is a normally closed manual valve made of stainless steel, connected to the normally closed solenoid valve via a threaded interface. Nozzle 5 is a stainless steel variable-diameter duckbill fan-shaped nozzle, connected to the normally closed manual valve via a threaded interface. The microprocessor in embedded system 3 uses an STM32 chip as the main control chip, the buttons are rotary knobs, the display is an LCD screen, the WiFi module is an ESP3266 serial WiFi module, and embedded system 3 is powered by a 12V rechargeable battery with stepped-down power.

[0028] The working principle of the digital metering device for yellow water re-fermentation described in this utility model is as follows:

[0029] When performing the yellow water re-fermentation operation, firstly, select the yellow water spraying diameter of the nozzle 5 according to the diameter of the pit 8 to ensure that the yellow water can be sprayed evenly in the pit 8. Secondly, select manual or automatic mode to spray the yellow water. If manual mode is selected, manually open the manual valve 4, and the yellow water will pass through the yellow water pipe 7 and hose 6 and be evenly sprayed onto the mash in the pit 8 by the nozzle 5. The embedded system 3 monitors the real-time yellow water flow rate in the hose 6 based on the flow meter 1, and calculates whether the cumulative yellow water sprayed by the nozzle 5 has reached the set amount based on the real-time yellow water flow rate in the hose 6. If the amount of yellow water sprayed by the nozzle 5 has reached the set amount, the manual valve 4 is closed, and the yellow water re-fermentation operation ends. If automatic mode is selected, set the amount of yellow water to be used through the buttons on the embedded system 3 and open the solenoid valve 2. Then, the flow meter 1 monitors the flow rate of yellow water in the hose 6 in real time and transmits the flow data to the embedded system 3 in real time. If the amount of yellow water sprayed by the nozzle 5 has reached the set amount, the solenoid valve 2 is closed, and the yellow water re-fermentation operation ends. During the spraying of yellow water, the embedded system 3 uploads the real-time yellow water flow rate and cumulative yellow water usage to the cloud platform for storage via the WiFi module.
