Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing technology, and in particular to a distillation device for brewing. Background Technology

[0002] A distillation apparatus used in winemaking is a key piece of equipment in the winemaking process, used to distill fermented mash to separate alcohol and other volatile components to obtain the finished wine. It typically includes a still, a heating system, a cooling device, and auxiliary components such as agitators and condensers. The heating system provides heat for the distillation process, causing the alcohol and other volatile substances in the mash to vaporize. The vaporized steam enters the cooling device through pipes, where it is cooled and recondensed into liquid, which is the distilled spirit. The agitator, as mentioned earlier, stirs the material in the still to ensure uniform heating, improving distillation efficiency and product quality. This apparatus has a crucial impact on the quality, yield, and production costs of the wine throughout the entire winemaking process.

[0003] Traditional equipment struggles to scrape away material from the inner walls, causing it to adhere and become unusable in subsequent brewing processes, resulting in waste. The gradual accumulation of this adhered material also affects the equipment's internal heat transfer efficiency. Uneven heat distribution during distillation negatively impacts distillation efficiency and reduces the equipment's capacity. Furthermore, traditional equipment is less effective at mixing materials. Insufficient mixing means that different components cannot be evenly mixed and fully participate in fermentation and distillation, leading to incomplete fermentation or prolonged fermentation times.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-7The distillation apparatus shown includes a distillation tank 1. A stirring mechanism 2 is installed on the upper surface of the distillation tank 1. The stirring mechanism 2 includes a top cover 21 and a stirring unit installed at the bottom of the top cover 21. The stirring unit stirs the inside of the distillation tank 1 and can also scrape off the material adhering to its inner wall. A fixing component is installed at the top of the distillation tank 1 to fix the top cover 21 to the top of the distillation tank 1.

[0026] Specifically, the stirring unit includes a motor 22, which is mounted on the upper surface of a top cover 21. A connecting frame 23 is fixedly mounted on the top cover 21. A first bevel gear 24 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 22. A second bevel gear 25 and a third bevel gear 27 are mounted on the connecting frame 23 at an interval, one above the other. Both the second bevel gear 25 and the third bevel gear 27 are rotatably connected to the connecting frame 23 and are installed face-to-face. A stirring rod 26 is coaxially connected to the second bevel gear 25, and a bushing 28 is coaxially connected to the third bevel gear 27. The bushing 28 is fitted onto the stirring rod 26 and is rotatably connected to the center of the top cover 21.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a spiral stirring fan 29 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 26, and four first cantilever arms 210 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the bushing 28. The four first cantilever arms 210 are arranged in a circular array about the central axis of the bushing 28. Four stirring plates 211 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the stirring rod 26, and the four stirring plates 211 are also arranged in a circular array about the central axis of the bushing 28. A scraper 212 is installed on the bottom wall of each stirring plate 211. The scraper 212 can be made of rubber, and the scraper 212 is always in contact with the inner bottom wall of the distillation tank 1 during stirring.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 Four second cantilever arms 219 are rotatably connected to the bottom end of the stirring rod 26. These four second cantilever arms 219 are arranged in a circular array about the central axis of the stirring rod 26, and each of the four second cantilever arms 219 corresponds one-to-one with a first cantilever arm 210. A groove is formed at the free end of any second cantilever arm 219 and the free end of any first cantilever arm 210. A spring 214 is installed in any groove, and the extension direction of any spring 214 is parallel to the extension direction of the corresponding first cantilever arm 210 or second cantilever arm 219. In this embodiment, a cleaning plate 213 is also installed between the corresponding first cantilever arm 210 and second cantilever arm 219. The cleaning plate 213 is used to remove material from the inner wall of the distillation tank 1. Both ends of the cleaning plate 213 are slidably connected to the grooves on the first cantilever arm 210 and the second cantilever arm 219, respectively, and are both connected to two springs 214.

[0029] Reference Figure 2In this embodiment, the inner wall of the distillation barrel 1 is uniformly provided with multiple sets of protruding ribs 215 in a ring. The central axis of any protruding rib 215 is parallel to the central axis of the distillation barrel 1, and the side of any protruding rib 215 closest to the central axis of the distillation barrel 1 is designed as an inclined structure.

[0030] When the user needs to stir the material inside the distillation tank 1, the user can start the motor 22. The motor 22 drives the first bevel gear 24 on the outside of its main shaft to rotate inside the connecting frame 23. Simultaneously, the rotation of the first bevel gear 24 drives the second bevel gear 25 and the third bevel gear 27, which are meshed with it, to rotate relative to each other. This, in turn, drives the stirring rod 26 on one side of the second bevel gear 25 and the bushing 28 on one side of the third bevel gear 27 to rotate relative to each other. The rotation of the stirring rod 26 also drives the spiral stirring fan 29 on its outside to rotate. The spiral stirring fan 29 continuously stirs the material inside the distillation tank 1, transporting and stirring the material at the bottom upwards. Simultaneously, the stirring plate 211 and scraper 212 on the outside of the bottom end of the stirring rod 26 continuously scrape away the material on the inside of the bottom of the distillation tank 1, preventing it from sticking to the bottom. Simultaneously, the rotation of the first cantilever 210 continuously scrapes and cleans the inner wall of the distillation tank 1 through the cleaning plate 213 on the inside of the end of the first cantilever 210. Simultaneously, when one side of the cleaning plate 213 indirectly contacts the protruding rib 215 inside the distillation tank 1, the cleaning plate 213 will move towards the inner side of the first cantilever 210 and the second cantilever 219 under the push of the inclined structure on one side of the protruding rib 215, while compressing the spring 214. When the cleaning plate 213 moves to the other side of the protruding rib 215, the cleaning plate 213 disengages from it, the elastic potential energy of the spring 214 is released, and the cleaning plate 213 hammers the inner wall of the distillation tank 1 to a certain extent, further preventing the material from sticking to the inner wall of the distillation tank 1. Through the stirring mechanism 2, the material inside the distillation tank 1 can be continuously and efficiently stirred, and the material at the bottom can be transported upward and stirred, which helps the material to be heated evenly and improves the brewing effect. The scraper 212 on the outer side of the bottom end of the stirring rod 26 continuously scrapes the material on the inner side of the bottom end of the distillation tank 1 to avoid the material sticking to the bottom and causing waste, ensuring that the material can participate in the brewing to the maximum extent, reducing material loss, and improving the utilization rate of raw materials. The hammering action generated by the indirect contact between the cleaning plate 213 and the protruding ribs 215 further prevents materials from sticking to the inner wall of the distillation tank 1, maintains the cleanliness of the equipment, ensures stable operation, and guarantees the continuity of the brewing process. The efficient stirring and anti-sticking design makes material handling smoother, reduces production stoppages caused by uneven stirring and sticking, increases output per unit time, and meets production demands.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7In this embodiment, the fixing assembly includes four clamping arms 216, which are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the distillation tank 1. The bottom ends of the four clamping arms 216 are rotatably connected to the distillation tank 1, and the top ends of the four clamping arms 216 are threaded with bolts 217. The bottom end of each bolt 217 is rotatably connected to a top plate 218. In this embodiment, the top plate 218 has an arc-shaped structure.

[0032] When the user places the top cover 21 on top of the distillation tank 1, the clamping arm 216 can be rotated, moving the top plate 218 on one side of the clamping arm 216 above the top cover 21. At this time, rotating the bolt 217 moves the top plate 218 toward the top cover 21 until the top plate 218 abuts against one side of the top cover 21. The multiple arc-shaped top plates 218 have a large contact area with the top cover 21, which increases the stability of the fixation and also significantly improves the sealing effect between the top of the distillation tank 1 and the top cover 21, preventing steam leakage during distillation, ensuring a stable brewing environment, and guaranteeing the quality of the liquor.

[0033] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
