Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing, specifically to a continuous moistening system with a flattening mechanism and a cooking production line for brewing. Background Technology
[0002] In the brewing process, the raw materials often need to be moistened before steaming to ensure the quality and stability of the steaming process. Existing moistening processes typically involve discontinuous moistening in small batches, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, because the raw materials are often crushed before moistening, uneven moistening and prolonged moistening times can easily occur, negatively impacting the subsequent brewing quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a continuous moistening system with flattening and a cooking production line for brewing, which can at least solve some of the problems in the prior art.
[0004] The first aspect of this utility model provides a continuous moistening system with a flattening mechanism. The continuous moistening system sequentially includes a flattening machine, a conveying device, and a moistening device. The flattening machine is used to flatten the raw material. The first end of the conveying device is connected to the flattening machine and is used to convey the flattened raw material. The moistening device is connected to the second end of the conveying device and includes a water-adding component and a stirring component. The water-adding component is located at one end of the moistening device near the conveying device, and the stirring component is located inside the moistening device and extends along the conveying direction of the moistening device to continuously moisten and stir the raw material during conveying.
[0005] In this way, the flattened raw material conveyed by the conveying device is continuously moistened by the water-adding component, and the moistened raw material is stirred by the stirring component and conveyed along the length direction, so that the raw material is moistened evenly, achieving continuous moistening, saving moistening time, and ensuring moistening quality.
[0006] Optionally, the water supply component includes a water supply pipe, one end of which is connected to a water source, and the other end is located at the end of the humidifying device near the conveying device and penetrates the outer wall of the humidifying device, for transporting water from the water source to the interior of the humidifying device.
[0007] Through the above methods, the water supply pipeline continuously delivers water from the water source to the moistening device, continuously moistening the raw materials inside the device.
[0008] Optionally, the stirring assembly is a water-lubricating auger, with its two ends respectively located at both ends of the water-lubricating device.
[0009] In this way, the auger can transport the wetted raw material from one end of the wetted device to the other along the length of the wetted device, and stir the raw material while transporting it to further ensure that the raw material is wetted evenly.
[0010] Optionally, the flattening machine includes a first roller and a second roller arranged opposite to each other, with a gap between the first roller and the second roller for raw materials to pass through. The first roller and the second roller move in opposite directions to flatten the raw materials passing through the gap.
[0011] In this way, the first and second rollers can flatten the raw materials passing through the gap, which helps to ensure the quality of subsequent wetting and reduce the wetting time.
[0012] Optionally, the gap between the first roller and the second roller can be adjusted.
[0013] Using the above method, the distance of the gap is the thickness of the raw material being flattened. The thickness of the raw material being flattened can be adjusted according to different types of raw materials to further ensure the quality of the lubricated material.
[0014] Optionally, the top surface of the humidification device is provided with an exhaust port to discharge excess water vapor inside the humidification device.
[0015] The above methods help to remove excess water vapor from the inside of the lubrication device, which in turn helps to maintain the pressure balance inside the device.
[0016] Optionally, the continuous lubrication system also includes a softener located before the flattener, which is connected to the flattener and used to soften the raw materials.
[0017] By using the above methods, the raw materials are softened before being flattened, which makes it easier to improve the flattening efficiency.
[0018] Optionally, the softening machine includes a steam chamber, a movable screen plate, and a steam pipe arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The movable screen plate passes through both ends of the softening machine and is connected to the steam chamber. The movable screen plate is used to transport raw materials to the steam chamber, and the steam pipe passes through the movable screen plate and is connected to the steam chamber.
[0019] By using steam to soften the raw materials in the steam chamber and then conveying them to the next process (i.e., the flattening machine) after softening, it is beneficial to ensure the softening quality and efficiency.
[0020] The second aspect of this utility model provides a brewing production line equipped with the aforementioned continuous moistening system.
[0021] By using the above method, the wettability device is used to continuously wet the flattened raw materials, and the wetted raw materials are stirred and conveyed along the length direction, so that the raw materials are wetted evenly, saving wettability time and ensuring wettability quality.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] <Continuous Wetting System 100>
[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the continuous wetting system 100 with flattening in an embodiment of this utility model. (Reference) Figure 1The first embodiment of this utility model provides a continuous moistening system 100 with flattening, including a flattening machine 120, a conveying device 130, and a moistening device 140 arranged sequentially. The flattening machine 120 is used to flatten raw materials, compressing three-dimensional raw materials (e.g., rice) into a flat shape. The first end of the conveying device 130 is connected to the flattening machine 120 for conveying the flattened raw materials, and the second end of the conveying device 130 is connected to the moistening device 140, enabling the moistening device 140 to receive the conveyed flattened raw materials. The moistening device 140 includes a water-adding component and a stirring component. The water-adding component is located at the end of the moistening device 140 near the conveying device 130 and can continuously moisten the conveyed raw materials; the stirring component is located inside the moistening device 140 and extends along the conveying direction of the moistening device 140, enabling simultaneous stirring and conveying of the raw materials.
[0030] By utilizing the above method, the flattened raw material conveyed by the conveying device 130 is continuously moistened using a water-adding component. Compared to the prior art where moistening is performed based on the capacity of the moistening hopper (i.e., non-continuous moistening in hopper units), this invention improves the moistening efficiency and automation level. The stirring component agitates the moistened raw material and conveys it along its length, ensuring uniform moistening, saving time, and guaranteeing quality. Simultaneously, the raw material is in a state of shell breakage and shape change, transforming from a three-dimensional form to a flattened state, compressing and reducing its volume, preventing it from becoming powdery. The raw material remains between granular and powdery states, reducing the likelihood of clumping or sticking during moistening.
[0031] The various parts of the continuous wetting system 100 in the embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] <Crushing Machine 120>
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the flattening machine 120 is a device that flattens and compresses materials by mechanical pressure. It includes a first roller 121 and a second roller 122 arranged opposite to each other. A gap is formed between the first roller 121 and the second roller 122 for the raw material to pass through. The first roller 121 and the second roller 122 move in opposite directions to flatten the raw material passing through the gap.
[0034] In the above manner, the first roller 121 and the second roller 122 can flatten the raw material passing through the gap, so that the flattened raw material is broken, which facilitates the entry and exit of water or water vapor for wetting. This helps to ensure the stability during wetting and facilitates subsequent steps such as storage, transportation and wetting of the raw material. It is beneficial to ensure the wetting quality of the raw material and reduce the wetting time.
[0035] Specifically, the gap between the first roller 121 and the second roller 122 is adjustable. According to the process requirements of raw material steaming and brewing, the gap between the two rollers (i.e., the first roller 121 and the second roller 122) can be adjusted and set in advance, thereby adjusting the thickness of the raw material after it is flattened. For example, the raw material is flattened to a thickness of 1-2 mm. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the thickness of the flattened raw material.
[0036] Using the above method, the distance of the gap is the thickness of the raw material being flattened. The thickness of the raw material being flattened can be adjusted according to different types of raw materials to further ensure the quality of the lubricated material.
[0037] <Conveying device 130>
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveying device 130 can transport the raw materials processed by the flattener 120 to the moistening device 140. The conveying device 130 can be a bucket elevator or a chain conveyor; this utility model does not limit the type of the conveying device 130.
[0039] <Wetting device 140>
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the wetting device 140 includes a water adding component and a stirring component. The water adding component includes a water adding pipe 141, one end of which is connected to a water source, and the other end is located at the end of the wetting device 140 near the conveying device 130 and penetrates the outer wall of the wetting device 140. The water adding pipe 141 delivers water from the water source to the interior of the wetting device 140 through a water pump (not shown) to wet the raw materials.
[0041] The water supplied through the water supply pipe 141 is hot water at 85°C. The water flow rate of the water supply pipe 141 can be adjusted according to the needs of the brewing process. For example, the water flow rate can be 50%-60% of the weight of the raw materials, and the continuous wetting time can be 3-10 minutes. This ensures continuous and sufficient wetting of the raw materials while significantly shortening the wetting time, thus improving the wetting efficiency. This invention does not limit the water temperature, flow rate, or wetting time of the water supply pipe 141 in the continuous wetting process; any method that achieves continuous wetting is acceptable.
[0042] In this way, the water supply pipe 141 continuously delivers water from the water source to the moistening device 140, continuously moistening the raw materials inside the moistening device 140, so that the broken raw materials can fully absorb water and expand.
[0043] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The stirring component can be a water-lubricating auger 142, with its two ends respectively located at the two ends of the water-lubricating device 140.
[0044] Through the above methods, the auger 142 can transport the moistened raw material from one end of the moistening device 140 to the other along its length, while simultaneously agitating the material to ensure uniform moistening. At the same time, the auger 142, in conjunction with the water supply pipe 141, continuously adds water to the raw material within the moistening device 140, and agitates the moistened material, ensuring that moistening, agitation, and transport are carried out synchronously. By simultaneously adding water, agitating, and transporting the raw material, continuous moistening and transport are achieved, ensuring the material is fully wetted, preventing uneven moisture distribution, avoiding incomplete wetting, and optimizing the moistening effect.
[0045] Furthermore, the top surface of the humidification device 140 is provided with an exhaust port 143 for discharging excess water vapor from inside the humidification device 140. Discharging excess water vapor from inside the humidification device 140 in this way helps to maintain the internal pressure balance of the humidification device 140.
[0046] <Softener 110>
[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The continuous lubrication system 100 also includes a softener 110 located before the flattener 120. The softener 110 is connected to the flattener 120 and is used to soften the raw materials. That is, the softener 110, flattener 120, conveying device 130 and lubrication device 140 are arranged in sequence.
[0048] By using the above methods, the raw materials are softened before being flattened, which makes it easier to improve the flattening efficiency.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the softening machine 110 includes a steam chamber 111, a movable screen plate 112, and a steam pipe 113 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The movable screen plate 112 passes through both ends of the softening machine 110 and is connected to the steam chamber 111. The movable screen plate 112 is used to transport raw materials to the steam chamber 111, and the steam pipe 113 passes through the movable screen plate 112 and is connected to the steam chamber 111. A certain amount of raw materials is transported onto the movable screen plate 112 of the softening machine 110, so that the movable screen plate 112 moves the raw materials into the steam chamber 111. Steam enters the steam chamber 111 through the steam inlet (not shown) at the bottom of the softening machine 110 via the steam pipe 113, passing through the movable screen plate 112, and heating and softening the raw materials in the steam chamber 111. The softening time is set based on experience or preset, for example, the softening time is 5-15 minutes. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the softening time.
[0050] In this way, the raw materials are softened by steam heating, which makes subsequent crushing of the raw materials more convenient, avoids insufficient crushing of the raw materials, and helps to improve the crushing efficiency. At the same time, after the raw materials are softened by steam, the generation of powder and debris during crushing can be reduced, which makes it easier to clean and maintain the equipment.
[0051] <200 Brewing Cooking Production Line>
[0052] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the brewing and cooking production line 200 according to an embodiment of this utility model. (Reference) Figure 2 The second embodiment of this utility model provides a brewing cooking production line 200, which is equipped with the above-mentioned continuous moistening system 100 with flattening. That is to say, the brewing cooking production line 200 is equipped with at least a softener 110, a flattener 120, a conveying device 130 and a moistening device 140 in sequence.
[0053] By using the above method, the water-adding component of the water-wetting device 140 is used to continuously wet the flattened raw material, and the water-wetting component is used to stir the wetted raw material and transport it along the length direction, so that the raw material is wetted evenly, saving water-wetting time and ensuring water-wetting quality.
[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the brewing cooking production line 200 can also be equipped with a raw material storage bin 210 and a washing machine 220 in sequence, and is positioned before the softening machine 110. Raw materials transported to the softening machine 110 can be transported via the raw material storage bin 210, with the raw materials stored in the bin through the inlet. A variable frequency screw conveyor 211 is installed at the bottom of the raw material storage bin 210, which quantitatively discharges the raw materials, facilitating the recording of the weight of raw materials required for brewing. The weighed raw materials are then transported to the washing machine 220.
[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 2 The brewing cooking production line 200 may further include a cooking device 230 and a cooling device 240 located after the moistening device 140. The moistened raw materials can be further conveyed from the end of the moistening device 140 away from the water supply pipe 141 to the cooking device 230 for cooking. The cooking device 230 can be a continuous cooking machine to achieve continuous cooking of the raw materials. The cooling device 240 spreads and cools the cooked raw materials.
[0056] The following describes the lubrication process of the continuous lubrication system 100 in this embodiment of the present invention.
[0057] Raw materials are conveyed from the raw material storage bin 210 to the washing machine 220. The washing machine 220 cleans the impurities in the raw materials and allows them to absorb water initially. The cleaned raw materials are then conveyed to the moving screen 112 of the softening machine 110, which moves the raw materials to the steam chamber 111. The softening machine 110 uses the steam pipe 113 to supply steam into the steam chamber 111, softening the raw materials in the steam chamber 111, and then conveying them to the flattening machine 120. The flattening machine 120 flattens the raw materials according to the gap between the first roller 121 and the second roller 122, changing the raw materials from a three-dimensional shape to a flat shape, and then conveying them to the moistening device 140 via the conveying device 130. The water supply pipe 141 on the moistening device 140 continuously moistens the raw materials, while the moistening auger 142 agitates and conveys the raw materials, achieving continuous moistening.
[0058] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
