Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, specifically to a lees feeder with a simmering function. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of Fenjiu liquor, one crucial step is the treatment of the lees, a fundamental process in brewing. Currently, the main feeding machines used in distilleries are chain conveyors, which use a circulating conveyor to feed the fermented lees to the distillation chamber for distillation. For example, an intelligent feeding machine for brewing, as described in application number CN202121161801.8, includes a sealing assembly on top of the feeding conveyor and a maintenance platform assembly installed on top of the telescopic feeding machine support. When feeding onto the chamber, the telescopic feeding conveyor needs to be pulled out, and after reaching its position, the ground brake at the bottom center of one side of the telescopic feeding machine support is stepped on to secure the conveyor. However, the above-mentioned common types of lees feeding machines still have the following shortcomings in practical applications:

[0003] Because the moisture content in the fermented lees is reduced, traditional lees feeders do not have the function of simmering and replenishing the lees, and manual replenishment is still required, which is not conducive to improving the production efficiency of Fenjiu. After the feeding is completed, a certain amount of lees will remain on the conveyor chain plate, which makes subsequent cleaning and maintenance difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a distiller's grains feeder with a braising function, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the traditional distiller's grains feeder does not have the functions of braising and replenishing the slurry, and the subsequent cleaning and maintenance are difficult.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a distiller's grains feeder with a braising function, comprising a front feeding frame and a rear feeding frame matching the front feeding frame. A first chain conveyor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the front feeding frame, and a second chain conveyor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the rear feeding frame. A feeding hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front feeding frame, and a braising hopper is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rear feeding frame. A water supply tank is fixedly installed on the front of the front feeding frame, and a braising and slurry replenishing mechanism is fixedly installed at the top of the water supply tank. A rinsing mechanism for cleaning the first and second chain conveyors is fixedly installed on the back of the water supply tank. A discharge port is fixedly connected to the top of the rear feeding frame, and a rinsing pump is fixedly installed inside the water supply tank. The top of the front feeding frame extends into the interior of the braising hopper.

[0006] Preferably, a controller is fixedly installed on the front of the water tank, and a control panel is fixedly installed on the front of the controller. A display and a power switch are fixedly installed on the surface of the control panel.

The controller is electrically connected to an external power source through the power switch.

[0007] Preferably, a liquid level sensor is fixedly installed inside the water replenishment tank, a water injection pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the water replenishment tank, and a solenoid valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the water injection pipe. Both the solenoid valve and the liquid level sensor are electrically connected to the controller; water replenishment can be performed automatically, making it fully automatic and less labor-intensive.

[0008] Preferably, the slurry replenishing mechanism includes a water replenishing pump and a water replenishing spray pipe fixedly connected to the outlet of the water replenishing pump, the water replenishing spray pipe extending into the interior of the slurry hopper; it can automatically replenish the lees during the slurrying process to increase the moisture content of the lees.

[0009] Preferably, the rinsing mechanism includes a three-way pipe, with a first rinsing main pipe and a second rinsing main pipe fixedly connected to both ends of the three-way pipe, and multiple rinsing branch pipes fixedly connected to one side of each of the first and second rinsing main pipes. A rinsing nozzle is fixedly installed at the bottom of each rinsing branch pipe, and the three-way pipe is fixedly connected to a rinsing pump; this mechanism can rinse the conveyor chain plate, thereby helping to reduce the difficulty of cleaning and maintaining the chain plate.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the simmering hopper is fitted with a simmering cover, and both the simmering hopper and the simmering cover are made of 2mm thick stainless steel plate, with an effective volume greater than or equal to 1.8m³.

[0011] Preferably, both the bottom of the front feeding frame and the bottom of the rear feeding frame are fixedly connected to a drain pipe, and a drain valve is fixedly installed in the middle of the drain pipe; this facilitates rinsing the inside of the feeding frame after feeding is completed, reducing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning and maintenance.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This lees feeder adopts a front and rear dual-stage feeding method and is equipped with a steaming hopper. Without changing the traditional brewing process of Fenjiu, it can be seamlessly connected with the existing cold dispersing machine to replace manual labor in the processes of adding slurry, steaming and feeding. It realizes the automation of the pre-fermentation treatment process, eliminates the need for manual slurry replenishment, and makes the slurry replenishment more precise, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency of Fenjiu brewing.

[0014] A rinsing mechanism is added to the feeding rack, which can automatically add water and rinse the conveyor chain plate after feeding, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning and maintaining the chain plate. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a distiller's grains feeder with a simmering function, including a front feeding frame 1 and a rear feeding frame 3 matching the front feeding frame 1. A first chain conveyor 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the front feeding frame 1, and a second chain conveyor 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the rear feeding frame 3. A feeding hopper 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front feeding frame 1, and a simmering hopper 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rear feeding frame 3. A water supply tank 2 is fixedly installed on the front of the front feeding frame 1, a simmering and replenishing mechanism is fixedly installed at the top of the water supply tank 2, and a mechanism for feeding the first chain conveyor 9 and the second chain conveyor 12 is fixedly installed on the back of the water supply tank 2. The plate conveyor 12 has a cleaning rinsing mechanism 5. The top of the rear feeding rack 3 is fixedly connected to the discharge port 11. The inside of the water tank 2 is fixedly installed with a rinsing pump 18. The top of the front feeding rack 1 extends into the inside of the simmering hopper 4. The front of the water tank 2 is fixedly installed with a controller 19. The front of the controller 19 is fixedly installed with a control panel 20. The surface of the control panel 20 is fixedly installed with a display and a power switch. The display, the first chain plate conveyor 9 and the second chain plate conveyor 12 are all electrically connected to the controller 19. The controller 19 is electrically connected to an external power source through the power switch. The top of the simmering hopper 4 is fitted with a simmering cover 8.

[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, a liquid level sensor 17 is fixedly installed inside the water tank 2, and a water injection pipe 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the water tank 2. A solenoid valve 16 is fixedly installed in the middle of the water injection pipe 15. Both the solenoid valve 16 and the liquid level sensor 17 are electrically connected to the controller 19.

[0023] In use, the water injection pipe 15 is connected to the tap water pipe in the fermentation workshop. When the liquid level sensor 17 detects that the water level in the water replenishment tank 2 is lower than the set value, the controller 19 will control the solenoid valve 16 to open. At this time, tap water will continuously enter the water replenishment tank 2 through the water injection pipe 15, thereby increasing the water level in the water replenishment tank 2. When the upper limit of the water level in the water replenishment tank 2 is reached, the solenoid valve 16 will close, which can realize the automatic replenishment of the water level in the water replenishment tank 2.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the slurry replenishment mechanism includes a water replenishment pump 6 and a water replenishment spray pipe 7 fixedly connected to the outlet of the water replenishment pump 6, with the water replenishment spray pipe 7 extending into the interior of the slurry hopper 4.

[0025] During use, the water pump 6 will be turned on periodically during the simmering period to draw water from the water tank 2 and spray it into the simmering hopper 4 through the water spray pipe 7 to replenish the mash. In the water replenishment system, the dimensions of the water tank 2 are 776×1000 mm and the thickness of the tank material is 2.0 mm. The water spray pipe 7 is divided into two sets of nozzles, and the two sets of nozzles should be able to control the water supply separately. The time to add water to each batch of red mash should not exceed ten minutes.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the rinsing mechanism 5 includes a three-way pipe 51, with a first rinsing main pipe 52 and a second rinsing main pipe 53 fixedly connected to both ends of the three-way pipe 51. Multiple rinsing branch pipes 54 are fixedly connected to one side of both the first rinsing main pipe 52 and the second rinsing main pipe 53. A rinsing nozzle 55 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rinsing branch pipe 54. The three-way pipe 51 is fixedly connected to the rinsing pump 18. A drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front feeding rack 1 and the bottom of the rear feeding rack 3. A drain valve 14 is fixedly installed in the middle of the drain pipe 13.

[0027] During use, after feeding is completed, the flushing pump 18 can be controlled by the control panel 20. The flushing pump 18 injects water from the water supply tank 2 into the first flushing main pipe 52 and the second flushing main pipe 53 through the three-way pipe 51, and finally sprays it out from the flushing nozzle 55 to flush the surfaces of the second chain conveyor 12 and the first chain conveyor 9 respectively. At the same time, the drain valve 14 is opened, and the flushed slag is discharged directly through the drain pipe 13.

[0028] In this embodiment of the application, a baffle to prevent material leakage is installed between the hopper 4 and the conveyor chain plate, except for the discharge port section, to ensure that the material does not fall into the conveyor chain plate or onto the ground. If the space height at the equipment installation site allows, the gap between the upper and lower chain plates of the conveyor under the hopper 4 is enlarged, and a removable hopper cover 8 is added to facilitate the cleaning of residual material in the cavity. The chain plate support strength must be strong enough to prevent bending or deformation after bearing the material. The material after clogging should be conveyed to the condenser evenly according to the capacity requirements of the condenser, with the thickness and speed consistent with the condenser's conveying speed. The strength of the drive chain must be strong enough, the system power supply adopts a three-phase five-wire system, all power configurations must meet the latest national energy-saving standards, and the safety performance of the whole machine must meet the requirements of a national first-class enterprise.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
