Description

Automatic Yellow Water Extraction Device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing industry, specifically to an automatic yellow water extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor), yellow water is an important byproduct of fermentation. Strong-aroma baijiu uses a solid-state fermentation process. The mash ferments in fermentation pits, where starch is converted from sugar to alcohol, releasing CO2 gas. The weight of each unit of mash decreases, and water of crystallization is released. Pigments, tannins, dextrin, ethanol, reducing sugars, soluble starch, and yeast autolysates dissolve in the water. As fermentation progresses, the mash slowly seeps to the bottom of the pit, forming a brownish-yellow liquid, known as yellow water. The lower layer of mash in the pit has a higher yellow water content. To maintain the quality of the base liquor, the yellow water must be separated before leaving the pit, thereby reducing the acidity of the mash.

[0003] Fermentation takes place in fermentation pits. At the bottom of the pits, there is a groove called a yellow water tank for temporarily storing the yellow liquid. Traditional methods of extracting yellow liquid mostly rely on manual operation. That is, after a certain fermentation stage, the yellow water pump is manually started and stopped to extract the yellow liquid. Manual operation requires employees to frequently monitor and start / stop the yellow water pump, which is labor-intensive. Moreover, existing technologies, such as the patent document with publication number CN215162488U, still require personnel to monitor the yellow water extraction, which is quite labor-intensive and resource-intensive. In addition, after the yellow water pump is started, the person will often go to do other work, resulting in a lack of precise control over the extraction time, which can easily lead to energy waste and unnecessary equipment wear and tear. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an automatic yellow water extraction device, which can accurately control the yellow water extraction process and is not prone to clogging.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic yellow water extraction device, comprising a yellow water pipe, a control module, a flow sensor and an extraction unit electrically connected to the control module, wherein the inlet end of the yellow water pipe extends into the yellow water tank, the outlet end of the yellow water pipe is connected to the inlet end of the extraction unit, and the inlet end of the yellow water pipe is also provided with a visible filter unit, the filter unit comprising a connecting part for detachable connection with the yellow water pipe and a filter screen part installed on the connecting part, the flow sensor being located at the outlet end of the extraction unit, and the flow sensor transmitting the detection signal to the control module in real time.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this plan are:

[0007] This technical solution's automatic yellow water extraction device incorporates a flow sensor and a control module. The flow sensor promptly detects the flow rate through the yellow water pipe and transmits this information to the control module in real time. This allows for easy regulation of the extraction unit's operation, reducing the frequency of manual operation and significantly lowering labor intensity. Simultaneously, the filtration unit effectively prevents impurities from entering the extraction unit, avoiding equipment blockage. The filtration unit can be cleaned and maintained simply by removing the yellow water pipe and filtration unit, thus improving the system's long-term stability and reliability. This device helps maintain continuous and stable equipment operation, providing strong support for the precise separation of yellow water during the brewing process, optimizing the fermentation process, and thereby improving the quality of the base liquor. The filter screen removes smaller particles generated during brewing, such as lees and impurities, preventing them from entering the extraction unit and causing blockages. The filtration unit is detachably connected to the yellow water pipe via a connector, and the filter screen can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the connecting part includes a valve body, the filter part includes a sleeve filter screen installed in the valve body, the valve body includes an upper valve ring, a lower valve ring, and a glass tube sleeved outside the sleeve filter screen, with both ends of the glass tube fixed to the upper valve ring and the lower valve ring respectively.

[0009] The beneficial effects are: the glass pipe can guide the yellow water, and the operator can intuitively observe the accumulation of debris in the sleeve filter screen and judge in time whether the filter screen needs to be cleaned or replaced.

[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, a number of chuck posts are arranged circumferentially between the upper valve ring and the lower valve ring, and all the chuck posts are located on the outside of the glass tube.

[0011] The beneficial effects are as follows: the several chuck posts between the upper and lower valve rings form a support structure, which is evenly distributed on the outside of the glass tube, which can improve the stability of the filter unit structure. The chuck posts located on the outside of the glass tube can protect the glass tube, prevent external impacts from directly affecting the glass tube, and reduce the risk of damage to the glass tube.

[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the pumping section is a corrosion-resistant centrifugal pump.

[0013] The beneficial effects are: the centrifugal pump has a high-efficiency fluid pumping capacity, can complete the extraction of yellow water in a short time, and can adapt to the special properties of yellow water, ensuring the effective extraction of yellow water.

[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the flow sensor is a magnetic flow switch sensor.

[0015] The beneficial effects are as follows: magnetic particles in the fluid or external magnets cause changes in the magnetic field, thereby triggering the switching action. By measuring the changes in this switching state, the flow sensor can indirectly measure the flow rate of the fluid, sensitively sense the fluid flow state, and monitor the flow in the yellow water pipe in real time.

[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, the sensor section also includes a check valve.

[0017] The beneficial effects are: the check valve automatically closes when the fluid flows backward, preventing the yellow water from flowing back and making it easier to extract the yellow water cleanly. At the same time, it prevents the yellow water from flowing back and avoids the pumping unit from reversing, and also helps to accurately measure the yellow water flow rate.

[0018] Preferably, as an improvement, the control module includes a power module and a switching relay, an embedded microsystem, and a power connector electrically connected to the power module. The power module is also equipped with leakage and short-circuit protection devices.

[0019] Preferably, as an improvement, the control module also includes a display panel, operation buttons, and a WiFi module.

[0020] The benefits include: allowing operators to monitor the system's operating status at any time, ensuring the smooth operation of the yellow water extraction process; facilitating remote control by transmitting data to the enterprise cloud platform via a WiFi module; and enabling the acquisition of relevant yellow water extraction data through the Internet of Things.

[0024] The following detailed description is provided through specific implementation methods and examples:

[0025] The preferred embodiment of this utility model is basically as shown in Figures 1-2. As shown in Figure 1, the automatic yellow water extraction device includes a yellow water pipe 1, a control module, a flow sensor 2 and an extraction unit 3 electrically connected to the control module. The inlet end of the yellow water pipe 1 extends into the yellow water tank 13, and the outlet end of the yellow water pipe 1 is connected to the inlet end of the extraction unit 3. The yellow water enters the yellow water collection pool through the extraction unit 3. The inlet end of the yellow water pipe 1 is also equipped with a visible filter unit. The filter unit is submerged in the yellow water tank 13 under the drive of the yellow water pipe 1 and performs filtration during the extraction of liquid. The flow sensor 2, which is used to detect the liquid flow rate, is set at the outlet end of the extraction unit 3. The flow sensor 2 transmits the detection signal to the control module in real time. There are various types of devices that can be selected for the flow sensor 2, such as differential pressure sensors or electromagnetic sensors. In this utility model, the flow sensor 2 is a magnetic water flow switch sensor. The magnetic water flow switch sensor can sensitively sense the fluid flow state and monitor the flow in the yellow water pipe 1 in real time. To improve the stability of the system, the flow sensor 2 in this invention also has a check valve inside. The check valve automatically closes when the fluid flows backward, preventing the yellow water from flowing back and making it easier to extract the yellow water cleanly. At the same time, it prevents the yellow water from flowing back and avoids the pumping part 3 from reversing, while also helping to accurately measure the yellow water flow rate.

[0026] To ensure a simple, reliable, and easy-to-assemble structure, the preferred embodiment of this invention includes a control module comprising a power module 4, a switch relay 5 electrically connected to the power module 4, an embedded microsystem, and a power connector 6. The embedded microsystem is pre-programmed with a timed start-up program for yellow water extraction, controlling the switch relay 5 to operate according to a set time, thereby automatically starting the extraction unit 3. Simultaneously, the embedded microsystem is electrically connected to a flow sensor 2, receiving signals from the flow sensor 2 in real time. When the flow sensor 2 sends a message indicating that the yellow water has stopped flowing to the embedded microsystem, the embedded microsystem controls the switch relay 5 to shut off the extraction unit 3, completing the yellow water extraction operation. To enhance safety, the power module 4 is also equipped with leakage and short-circuit protection devices. To ensure ease of use and operation, the control module also includes a display panel, operation buttons, and a WiFi module. To ensure pumping efficiency and system stability, the extraction unit 3 is a corrosion-resistant centrifugal pump. The centrifugal pump has high-efficiency fluid pumping capabilities, enabling the extraction of yellow water in a short time and adapting to the special properties of yellow water, ensuring effective extraction.

[0027] This technical solution's automatic yellow water extraction device incorporates a flow sensor 2 and a control module. The flow sensor 2 detects the flow rate through the yellow water pipe 1 in real time and transmits this information to the control module, facilitating the regulation of the extraction unit 3. The control unit, through an algorithm, controls the extraction process via a switching relay 5. Simultaneously, information such as the amount of yellow water, extraction time, and number of extractions during the extraction process is transmitted to a cloud platform via a WiFi module, enabling IoT-based control of the yellow water extraction process. This reduces the frequency of manual operation and significantly lowers labor intensity. Furthermore, the filtration unit effectively prevents impurities from entering the extraction unit 3, avoiding equipment blockage. The filtration unit can be cleaned and maintained simply by removing the yellow water pipe 1, thus improving the long-term stability and reliability of the system. This device helps maintain continuous and stable equipment operation, providing strong support for the precise separation of yellow water during the brewing process, optimizing the fermentation process, and ultimately improving the quality of the base liquor.

[0028] To ensure a simple, reliable, and easy-to-assemble structure, the preferred embodiment of this invention is as shown in Figure 2. The filter unit includes a connecting part for detachable connection with the yellow water pipe 1 and a filter screen part installed on the connecting part. There are various detachable connection methods, such as threaded rotation fixation and bolt detachable fixation. By setting the filter screen part, smaller particles generated during the brewing process, such as lees and impurities, are filtered out, preventing them from entering the pumping part 3 and causing equipment blockage. The filter unit is detachably connected to the yellow water pipe 1 through the connecting part, and the filter screen part can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement. To ensure a simple, reliable, and easy-to-assemble structure, the preferred embodiment of this invention includes a valve body as the connecting part and a sleeve filter 10 installed inside the valve body. The sleeve filter 10 has multiple filter holes arranged in an array. The valve body includes an upper valve ring 7, a lower valve ring 8, and a glass tube 9 sleeved outside the sleeve filter 10. The two ends of the glass tube 9 are fixed to the upper valve ring 7 and the lower valve ring 8, respectively. The glass tube 9 can guide the flow of yellow water, and the operator can visually observe the accumulation of debris inside the sleeve filter 10 and promptly determine whether the filter needs to be cleaned or replaced. The upper part of the sleeve filter screen 10 is snapped into the upper valve ring 7, and the upper valve ring 7 can be fixed by threaded connection to the end of the yellow water pipe 1. There are several chuck posts 11 arranged circumferentially between the upper valve ring 7 and the lower valve ring 8. The chuck posts 11 are all located on the outside of the glass tube 9. The several chuck posts 11 between the upper valve ring 7 and the lower valve ring 8 form a support structure and are evenly distributed on the outside of the glass tube 9, which can improve the stability of the filter unit structure. The chuck posts 11 located on the outside of the glass tube 9 can protect the glass tube 9 and prevent external impacts from directly affecting the glass tube 9, reducing the risk of damage to the glass tube 9.
