Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing cooling machines, and in particular to a baijiu brewing cooling machine. Background Technology
[0002] The cooling machine in baijiu brewing is a special device used to quickly cool down, spread out and regulate the temperature of cooked grains. It is one of the key machines in solid-state fermented baijiu production. Its core function is to replace the traditional manual cooling operation, improve efficiency and ensure process stability.
[0003] The chain plate type cooling machine is commonly used in industry. It mainly consists of stainless steel chain plates or mesh conveyor belts and a motor drive system. It uses forced air cooling through fans and ducts and is equipped with a filter to prevent contamination by bacteria. Rotary rake teeth can be used to turn the grain to enhance uniformity. The whole machine is supported by a corrosion-resistant frame. A flat plate is set on the frame at the inlet end of the conveyor belt to keep the grain at a uniform thickness on the conveyor belt. The equipment integrates a speed controller and temperature and humidity sensors to accurately adjust the conveyor speed and cooling parameters. The process includes: checking the equipment and setting the parameters in advance, spreading the cooked grain on the conveyor belt, and cooling the grain layer by the cold air as the chain plates move. The turning device eliminates caking, and the outlet temperature is monitored in real time to reach the target range. Finally, the cooled grain mash enters the mixing or fermentation process, achieving efficient and hygienic mechanized cooling operation.
[0004] However, existing chain plate cooling machines lack a material unloading component on the spreading plate. This causes the cooked grain to clump together due to liquid on its surface during prolonged operation. Simultaneously, the continuous operation of the conveyor belt and the constant flow of grain passing over the spreading plate result in some grain accumulating on top of it. This accumulated grain usually requires workers to remove it with a hook, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, when a large amount of grain accumulates on the spreading plate, it may flip over the plate's interceptor and fall onto the evenly spread grain in the transmission direction, making it difficult to maintain a uniform spread on the conveyor belt. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem of grain accumulation above the flat plate at the inlet end of the cooling machine in the prior art, and to propose a white wine brewing cooling machine.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A baijiu (Chinese liquor) brewing cooling machine includes a flattening box movably mounted on the cooling machine, a retractable push plate slidably mounted inside the flattening box, a flip plate rotatably mounted on the push plate, a counterweight strip fixedly mounted on the flip plate, an installation groove provided inside the flattening box, one end of a connecting belt fixedly mounted in the installation groove, and the other end of the connecting belt fixedly mounted on the flip plate. When the push plate disengages from the flattening box, the flip plate rotates and presses out the grain. An adjusting component provided on the flattening box is used to change the distance between the flattening box and the conveyor belt.
[0008] To facilitate adjustment of the thickness of the grain spreading, preferably, the adjusting component includes a mounting frame fixedly installed on the cooling machine, an adjusting rod rotatably mounted on the mounting frame, the end of the adjusting rod rotatably mounted on the spreading box, and guide rods symmetrically mounted on the mounting frame, the ends of the guide rods fixedly mounted on the spreading box. When the adjusting rod is rotated, the distance between the spreading box and the conveyor belt increases or decreases.
[0009] To facilitate the collection of grains above the leveling area, the leveling box is preferably configured in a "C" shape, with the interior of the leveling box serving as the collection area and the bottom of the leveling box serving as the leveling area.
[0010] To facilitate the collection of grains higher than the flattened area into the collection area, the end of the flattened box is further provided with an inclined surface. When grains pass through the flattened area, grains higher than the flattened area are cut by the inclined surface and pushed into the collection area by the grains behind.
[0011] To facilitate driving the push plate, preferably, a hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the flat box, the hydraulic telescopic rod passes through the collection box, and the output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the push plate.
[0012] To facilitate the rotation of the flip plate, preferably, the end of the push plate is provided with a groove, and an installation shaft is fixedly installed in the groove, with the flip plate rotatably mounted on the installation shaft.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cooling machine for brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor), which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This baijiu brewing cooling machine uses a push plate in conjunction with a flip plate. When the grain enters the collection area, the push plate and flip plate push the grain out of the collection area. Furthermore, when the flip plate leaves the collection area, it works with the counterweight and connecting belt to make the flip plate automatically flip and press the grain towards the inlet of the cooling machine, effectively preventing excessive grain from accumulating on top of the flattening box. At the same time, the push plate and flip plate work together to prevent the grain from being higher than the collection area and falling onto the already flattened grain, keeping the thickness of the flattened grain basically uniform.
[0015] 2. This baijiu brewing cooling machine, through its "C"-shaped flattening box, serves two purposes: firstly, it uses the flattening area to evenly spread the grain below the box; secondly, the inclined surface at the bottom of the box facilitates the separation of grain that is higher than the flattening area, and subsequent grain movement pushes it into the collection area. This allows the pusher and flipper to easily push the grain out of the collection area, reducing the workload of the workers. At the same time, it prevents excessively piled grain from falling over the flattening box onto the already flattened grain, maintaining a uniformly spread grain effect.
[0016] The parts of this device not described herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model effectively reduces the workload of workers by using a push plate and a flip plate, while preventing excessive grain from piling up on the flat plate and falling onto the already flattened grain, thus effectively maintaining the uniform thickness of the grain in the flattened area.

[0024] Example:
[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 A baijiu (Chinese liquor) brewing cooling machine includes a flattening box 1 movably mounted on the cooling machine. The flattening box 1 is C-shaped, with its interior serving as a collection area and its bottom as a leveling area. The C-shaped flattening box 1 serves two purposes: firstly, the leveling area evenly spreads the grain below the box; secondly, the inclined surface at the bottom of the box facilitates the separation of grain exceeding the leveling area, allowing subsequent grain movement to push it into the collection area. This facilitates the pusher plate 2 and the flipper plate 3 to push the grain out of the collection area, reducing the workload of workers. It also prevents excessively piled grain from falling over the flattening box 1 onto the already leveled grain, maintaining a uniformly level grain distribution. A retractable pusher plate 2 is slidably mounted inside the flattening box 1, and a flipper plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the pusher plate 2. Plate 3, push plate 2, and flip plate 3 are all designed as arc-shaped plates. The arc shape facilitates the pushing out of the grain, and the arc-shaped flip plate 3 facilitates pressing out the grain, reducing the amount of grain residue in the collection area. A counterweight 4 is fixedly installed on the flip plate 3. An installation groove is provided in the flattening box 1, and one end of the connecting belt 5 is fixedly installed in the installation groove. The other end of the connecting belt 5 is fixedly installed on the flip plate 3. When the push plate 2 is disengaged from the flattening box 1, the flip plate 3 rotates and presses out the grain. After the flip plate 3 rotates and presses out the grain, the grain pushed out of the collection area re-enters the inlet end of the conveyor belt and then passes through the flattening box 1 again to flatten it, avoiding the waste of raw materials. The flattening box 1 is equipped with an adjustment component to change the distance between the flattening box 1 and the conveyor belt, which can effectively control the thickness of the grain on the cooling machine according to the needs.
[0026] Specifically, by using push plate 2 in conjunction with flip plate 3, when the grain enters the collection area, push plate 2 and flip plate 3 push the grain out of the collection area. Furthermore, when flip plate 3 leaves the collection area, it is used in conjunction with counterweight bar 4 and connecting belt 5 to make flip plate 3 automatically flip and press the grain out towards the inlet end of the cooling machine, effectively preventing excessive grain from accumulating above the flattening box 1. At the same time, the combined use of push plate 2 and flip plate 3 can prevent the grain from being higher than the collection area and falling onto the already flattened grain, keeping the thickness of the flattened grain basically consistent.
[0027] The adjusting mechanism includes a mounting frame 7 fixedly installed on the cooling machine. An adjusting rod 8 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 7. The end of the adjusting rod 8 is rotatably mounted on the flattening box 1. A matching slot is provided on the top of the flattening box 1 corresponding to the adjusting rod 8, so that the flattening box 1 can move up and down after the adjusting rod 8 is rotated. When the flattening box 1 is in the initial position, the upper surface of the flattening box 1 is in contact with the inner side of the mounting frame 7. Guide rods 9 are symmetrically installed on the mounting frame 7. The end of the guide rod 9 is fixedly mounted on the flattening box 1. When the adjusting rod 8 is rotated clockwise, the distance between the flattening box 1 and the conveyor belt increases, and vice versa, the distance between the flattening box 1 and the conveyor belt decreases. This makes it easy to push the flattening box 1 after rotating the adjusting rod 8, thereby adjusting the thickness of the grain above the cooling machine as needed.
[0028] The end of the flattening box 1 is provided with an inclined surface. When the grain passes through the flattening area, the grain that is higher than the flattening area is cut by the inclined surface and pushed into the collection area by the grain behind. The inclined surface facilitates the separation of clumps of grain, thereby separating the grain that is higher than the flattening area and pushing the separated grain into the collection area through the subsequent grain movement. This makes it easier for the push plate 2 and the flip plate 3 to push the grain out of the collection area, reducing the workload of the staff.
[0029] A hydraulic telescopic rod 6 is fixedly installed on the flat box 1. In this application, the hydraulic telescopic rod 6 is a BANSBACH J4J4 model hydraulic telescopic rod 6. The hydraulic telescopic rod 6 passes through the collection box, and the output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 6 is fixedly installed on the push plate 2. When the hydraulic telescopic rod 6 works, the push plate 2 moves to the outside of the collection area and pushes the grain out of the collection area, effectively reducing the workload of the workers, while preventing too much grain from accumulating inside the flat box 1, and effectively preventing the accumulated grain from falling onto the evenly spread grain in the transmission direction.
[0030] The end of the push plate 2 has a groove, and the mounting shaft 21 is fixedly installed in the groove. The flip plate 3 is rotatably installed on the mounting shaft 21. The groove at the bottom of the push plate 2 cooperates with the mounting shaft 21, so that after the push plate 2 and the flip plate 3 are separated from the collection area, the counterweight 4 causes the flip plate 3 to rotate clockwise along the axis of the mounting shaft 21. At the same time, the connecting belt 5 limits the flip plate 3. When the hydraulic telescopic rod 6 works and drives the push plate 2 to move into the collection area, the push plate 2 and the flip plate 3 move into the collection area. The push plate 2 further squeezes the connecting belt 5, causing the connecting belt 5 to retract into the mounting groove, thereby pulling the flip plate 3 back to its original position through the connecting belt 5 for easy use.
[0031] In this invention, the steamed grain is first placed at the feeding inlet of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt operates, causing the grain to move along with it. When the grain passes through the flattening box 1, some of the grain is evenly spread out in the flattening area, while some of the grain that is higher than the flattening area is divided by the flattening box 1 and pushed into the collection area in conjunction with the subsequent grain movement. At this time, the hydraulic telescopic rod 6 operates, pushing the push plate 2 to move out of the collection area. As the push plate 2 moves, it also pushes the flip plate 3 to move. When the push plate 2 is completely removed from the collection area, the grain in the collection area is pushed out by the flip plate 3. At this time, the flip plate 3 works in conjunction with the counterweight bar 4 and the connecting belt 5, causing the flip plate 3 to rotate clockwise along the axis of the mounting shaft 21 and press out the accumulated grain. At the same time, the rotation of the flip plate 3 presses down the accumulated grain, causing it to re-enter the grain at the feeding inlet of the conveyor belt. The above steps are then repeated to avoid waste of raw materials, reduce the workload of workers, and further prevent excessive accumulation of grain in the flattening box 1, which would cause the grain to flip over the flattening box 1 and fall onto the evenly spread grain.
[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
