Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baijiu distillation production technology, specifically to a device for controlling the temperature of circulating water during baijiu distillation. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of baijiu (Chinese white liquor), workers manually and gently load the mash into the still. Steam is generated by heating water, and the mash is added while steam is rising until the still is full. Inside the still, the steam and mash come into full contact, exchanging heat and temperature. Ethanol and other aroma compounds continuously vaporize, and after condensation in a cooler, the mixture undergoes multiple concentration processes. Finally, approximately 5% ethanol from the mash is concentrated into a distinctive baijiu with a 65-70% vol.
[0003] When the vapor carrying alcohol is condensed, the alcohol and liquefied water separate. It would be wasteful to discard this water directly. If it is added directly into the still, the water temperature inside the still will drop, affecting the amount of steam produced and thus reducing the efficiency of liquor production. If the condensed water is heated, the steam produced during the distillation process is not constant, causing the heating equipment to work continuously, resulting in high consumption. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for controlling the temperature of circulating water during the distillation of baijiu (Chinese liquor) to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for circulating water temperature control during the distillation of baijiu (Chinese liquor), comprising a still, a support frame on the right side of the still, a heating box and a cooler fixedly connected to the support frame, an overflow pipe connected to the upper end of the cooler and the upper end of the still, and a rotating cavity with a circular structure inside the heating box, wherein a heating element for circulating and heating to control the water temperature is provided inside the rotating cavity;
[0006] A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the side end of the heating element, and a telescopic tube is inserted into the top end of the connecting pipe. A side plate is fixedly connected to the side end of the telescopic tube, and the side plate is used to control the up and down movement of the telescopic tube.
[0007] The heating element has a control plate hinged to its side for positioning and pressing, a magnetic block fixedly connected to the side of the control plate, and an electromagnet fixedly connected to the side of the heating element.
[0008] The heating box has connecting holes at both the upper and lower ends, and sealing rubber parts are installed in the connecting holes. The cooler is connected to the upper connecting hole through a pipe, and the steamer is connected to the lower connecting hole through a pipe.
[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the telescopic tube are both vertical structures, and the diameter of the upper end is smaller than that of the lower end. The middle of the telescopic tube is an inclined structure, and a spring is provided between the lower end of the side plate and the heating element.
[0010] Preferably, the middle hole of the sealing rubber component is in a blocked state, and both the upper and lower end surfaces of the sealing rubber component are arc-shaped concave surfaces.
[0011] Preferably, the control board has a V-shaped structure, with an auxiliary wheel rotatably connected to one end of the control board, and the other end of the control board abutting against the lower end of the side plate.
[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the rotating cavity is provided with two positioning grooves, and the inner wall of the positioning grooves is provided with pressure sensors.
[0013] Preferably, the heating element has an arc-shaped structure in the middle, and multiple heating columns are provided in the middle of the heating element. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected between two heating elements, and the fixed shaft reciprocates.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: two heating elements are set inside the heating box. When the water condensed by the cooler enters the heating element, it accumulates inside the heating element until the condensate in the heating element reaches the heating content. Then, it is heated by the heating column, which ensures heating efficiency, reduces energy consumption, lowers production costs, and allows water to be recycled. Because the cooled water still has a certain temperature, the heating amount is reduced, making it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described and introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments, and are not intended to limit the embodiments in any way. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for circulating water temperature control during the distillation of baijiu (Chinese liquor), comprising a still 1, a support frame 4 on the right side of the still 1, a heating box 5 and a cooler 2 fixedly connected to the support frame 4, and an exhaust pipe 3 connected to the upper end of the cooler 2 and the upper end of the still 1. The still 1 and the cooler 2 are existing mature structures, which will not be elaborated upon here and will not affect the completeness of this solution. The heating box 5 has a circular rotating cavity 6 inside, and a heating element 7 for circulating and heating water temperature control is provided inside the rotating cavity 6. A connecting pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the side end of the heating element 7, and a telescopic pipe 9 is inserted into the top end of the connecting pipe 18. A side plate 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the heating element 7. The side plate 17 is used to control the up and down movement of the telescopic tube 9. A control plate 11 for positioning and pressing is hinged to the side end of the heating element 7. A magnetic block 13 is fixedly connected to the side end of the control plate 11. An electromagnet 14 is fixedly connected to the side end of the heating element 7. Both the upper and lower ends of the heating box 5 are provided with connecting holes. A sealing rubber part 8 is provided in the connecting holes. The cooler 2 is connected to the upper connecting hole through a pipe. The still 1 is connected to the lower connecting hole through a pipe. The steam generated by the still 1 reaches the cooler 2 through the steam pipe 3. The cooler 2 is used for cooling treatment, thereby separating the alcohol and water. The separated water reaches the heating box 5 through a pipe.
[0022] The telescopic tube 9 has a vertical structure at both the upper and lower ends, with the upper diameter being smaller than the lower diameter. The middle of the telescopic tube 9 has an inclined structure. A spring is provided between the lower end of the side plate 17 and the heating element 7. The middle hole of the sealing rubber part 8 is in a blocked state. The upper and lower surfaces of the sealing rubber part 8 are both arc-shaped concave surfaces. When the telescopic tube 9 moves, it squeezes the sealing rubber part 8, thereby allowing the telescopic tube 9 to pass through the sealing rubber part 8, connecting the heating element 7 and the pipeline, so that cooling water can flow into or out of the heating element 7.
[0023] The control plate 11 has a V-shaped structure. One end of the control plate 11 is rotatably connected to an auxiliary wheel 12, and the other end of the control plate 11 abuts against the lower end of the side plate 17. Two positioning grooves 10 are provided on the inner wall of the rotating cavity 6, and pressure sensors are provided on the inner wall of the positioning grooves 10. The heating element 7 has an arc-shaped structure in the middle, and multiple heating columns 15 are provided in the middle of the heating element 7. A fixed shaft 16 is fixedly connected between two heating elements 7, and the fixed shaft 16 reciprocates, driving the two heating elements 7 to reciprocate within the rotating cavity 6, thereby aligning the two telescopic tubes 9 with the two sealing rubber parts 8 respectively. At this time, the auxiliary wheel 12 rotates smoothly... As the auxiliary wheel 12 moves along the inner wall of the rotating cavity 6, it squeezes the pressure sensor in the positioning groove 10 when the auxiliary wheel 12 moves to the positioning groove 10, thereby positioning the heating element 7 and accurately aligning the telescopic tube with the sealing rubber part 8. When the electromagnet is energized, the electromagnet 14 pulls the magnetic block 13, thereby driving the control board 11 to rotate. The top of the control board 11 lifts the side plate 17 and the telescopic tube 9, allowing the telescopic tube 9 to pass through the sealing rubber part 8. When the condensed water fills the heating element 7, the heating column inside the heating element 7 heats the water to prevent the water from being too cold after being added to the steamer 1.
