Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automated production line for highland barley liquor, belonging to the field of liquor brewing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Highland barley liquor is a traditional specialty liquor from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region. It is made from highland barley as the main raw material and brewed using traditional solid-state fermentation techniques. Its production process typically includes raw material processing, saccharification and fermentation, distillation, aging and blending, packaging and sterilization.
[0003] Currently, the production of highland barley liquor is mainly at the level of mechanized discrete production, and still relies heavily on traditional semi-mechanized production methods. For example, the processes of raw material cooking, saccharification, and fermentation still rely excessively on manual labor. This results in core problems such as low precision in process control, non-standard process management, low brewing efficiency, inconsistent quality, high labor intensity, and poor production environment.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to upgrade the production methods of highland barley liquor to automation, and to develop new technologies and equipment to increase production capacity, optimize process routes, stabilize quality, and reduce costs. Utility Model Content

The loading robot is set on the loading robot running track and can move in three positions, which correspond to the positions of the three steamers set on the bottom chain plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the rotating conveyor chain can rotate 180° to feed materials to the loading robot.
[0013] Furthermore, the three steaming pots are respectively connected to three water-cooled condensers via air guide pipes.

[0030] The working process of the automated production line for highland barley liquor provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0031] Step 1, Raw Material Saccharification: Soak the raw barley in the soaking tank 20 with room temperature water for 24 hours. After 24 hours, drain the soaking water and transport the barley to the high-pressure steamer 22 through the discharge bucket elevator 21. After high-pressure steaming for 50 minutes, pour it into the third drying machine 23 for cooling. Add small koji online through the second koji adding machine 25 and mix evenly. Then, transport the raw material to the moving material spreading machine 26 through the raw material conveying chain plate 24. The moving material spreading machine 26 evenly distributes the material into the saccharification box 27 for saccharification for 24 hours.
[0032] Step 2, Distillation: The mash discharged from the pool is sequentially conveyed to the loading robot 5 via the feeding machine 1, the first conveyor chain plate 2, and the rotating conveyor chain plate 4. The loading robot 5 evenly loads the mash into the still 6 and automatically collects the liquor in segments according to the set program. The liquor from each segment enters the first-stage liquor tank 701, the middle-stage liquor tank 702, and the last-stage liquor tank 703 through the pipes of the water-cooled condenser 7.
[0033] Step 3, Stacking: After the still 6 is turned over, the hot mash after distillation is poured onto the conveyor chain 8 at the bottom of the still, and then conveyed to the first drying machine 9. The saccharified saccharified material is conveyed to the second drying machine 10 through the third conveyor chain 16. The saccharified material is evenly spread on the mash that has been cooled for the first time. It is then cooled further through the second drying machine 10. The koji adding machine 1 adds koji online and mixes evenly. The mixture is then sequentially conveyed through the second conveyor chain 12, the mixing auger 13, and the first moving material spreader 14 into the stacking box 15 for stacking for 48 hours.
[0034] Step 4, fermentation in the pit: After the piling is completed, the mash is conveyed to the second drying machine 10 through the third conveyor chain plate 16, and then sequentially enters the fourth conveyor chain plate 17 through the second conveyor chain plate 12, the mixing auger 13, and the first moving material spreader 14. It is then conveyed to the discharge hopper 19 through the discharge auger 18, and the overhead crane lifts the discharge hopper 19 into the pit.
[0035] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the claims.
