Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rice wine distillation technology, and in particular relates to a steam condensate separation structure for rice wine distillation. Background Technology

[0002] Rice wine distillation is a purification process that involves heating rice wine to vaporize its alcohol and volatile components, and then condensing the vapor back into liquid. This process utilizes the difference in boiling points between alcohol and water to achieve separation, resulting in a liquid with a higher alcohol concentration. Distillation can remove some impurities and off-flavors from rice wine, improving its purity and taste. Distilled rice wine has a richer flavor and is suitable for long-term storage.

[0003] In traditional rice wine distillation equipment, the liquid formed after steam condenses and the residual water vapor that has not been completely separated are usually discharged together through a single distillation drain pipe. Since the drain pipe does not have the function of separating the steam and the condensed liquid during the condensation stage, the residual water vapor will condense back into liquid water due to the influence of ambient temperature during the discharge process. After mixing with the liquid, it dilutes the concentration of the liquor, resulting in a decrease in the purity of the liquor and the loss of aroma components. At the same time, the mixed liquid needs to be treated or re-distilled, which increases energy consumption and affects production efficiency, making it unfavorable for use.

[0004] To address these issues, we have developed a steam condensate separation structure for rice wine distillation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a steam-condensation water separation structure for rice wine distillation. By combining the steam-liquid separation component and the water temperature control component, it solves the problem in the prior art where rice wine distillation uses a single condenser to discharge steam and liquid without steam-liquid separation function. The residual water vapor will condense back into liquid water during the discharge process due to the influence of ambient temperature, and after mixing with the wine, it will dilute the concentration of the wine, resulting in a decrease in the purity of the wine and the loss of aroma components.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] This utility model relates to a steam-condensate separation structure for rice wine distillation, comprising a cooling shell, a vapor-liquid separation component, and a water temperature control component. The cooling shell has a condenser tube inside its cavity, with the top of the condenser tube extending to the outside of the cooling shell. The vapor-liquid separation component includes a separation shell, with the bottom of the condenser tube penetrating the cooling shell and communicating with it. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the separation shell. A sealing ring and a plugging ring are fixedly connected between the drain pipe and both sides of the separation shell's inner cavity, respectively. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the separation shell, with a sealing plug fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder's output end penetrating the separation shell. A plugging block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plug. An exhaust mechanism is connected to the left side of the separation shell. The water temperature control component includes a motor, with a rotating cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the motor's output end penetrating the cooling shell. A nozzle is connected to the surface of the rotating cylinder, and a cooling mechanism is connected to the top of the rotating cylinder through a rotary joint.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the cooling mechanism includes a cooling shell, a cooler is fixedly connected to the rear side of the cooling shell, the cold end of the front side of the cooler extends into the inner cavity of the cooling shell, a water injection pipe is connected to the left side of the top of the cooling shell, and the left side of the cooling shell is connected to the water injection pipe through a conduit. The cooling shell is used to reduce the temperature of the cooling water, the cooler can cool the circulating cooling water, and the water injection pipe guides part of the cooling water to the cooling shell, so that it is cooled down after passing through the cooling shell and enters the interior of the rotating cylinder.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that a mounting frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the cooling shell, and mounting holes are provided on both sides of the rear side of the mounting frame. The mounting frame and mounting holes can facilitate the installation and fixation of the cooling shell and prevent it from shaking during operation.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the inner cavity of the separation shell, a sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod, and the right side of the sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the sealing plug. The sliding rod and the sliding sleeve can limit the sealing plug and prevent it from failing to accurately align with the through hole at the top of the sealing ring when it is reset.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an arc-shaped patch is fixedly connected to the right side of the sealing plug via a connecting plate. The right side of the arc-shaped patch is in contact with the inner wall of the separation shell. The arc-shaped patch can block the outlet of the condenser tube during the upward movement of the sealing plug, preventing steam from being mixed in during the drainage process.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a temperature sensor is provided on the front side of the cooling shell, and the probe of the temperature sensor extends into the inner cavity of the cooling shell. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the cooling water inside the cooling shell. When the temperature of the cooling water is high, the water injection pipe can be controlled to increase the water injection volume.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a drain pipe is connected to the bottom right side of the cooling shell, and an inclined slope is provided on the top of the sealing block. The drain pipe can discharge cooling water out of the cooling shell, so that the cooling water inside the cooling shell can flow continuously. The inclined slope facilitates the sealing block to seal the through hole of the sealing ring.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the exhaust mechanism includes a duct, the right side of the duct is connected to the separation shell, and an exhaust fan is fixedly connected between the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the duct. The duct and the exhaust fan can quickly exhaust the steam inside the separation shell, preventing it from remaining inside the separation shell and condensing, so that the wine and steam can be quickly separated.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0016] 1. This utility model utilizes a vapor-liquid separation component. A sealing ring and a plugging ring inside the separation shell cooperate with a cylinder-driven sealing plug and plugging block to achieve staged separation during steam condensation. When the sealing plug rises, the plugging block seals the central through-hole of the plugging ring, forcing the condensed liquid to temporarily remain in the cavity formed by the sealing ring and the plugging ring. Simultaneously, an arc-shaped patch seals the outlet of the condenser pipe to prevent steam from entering. After the cylinder resets, the plugging block releases the seal on the through-hole, and the liquid is discharged unidirectionally through the drain pipe. Residual steam is separately extracted through the exhaust mechanism. This effectively prevents the mixing of steam with the liquid after secondary condensation, avoiding dilution of the liquor, preserving aroma components, reducing energy consumption during repeated distillation, and significantly improving liquor purity and production efficiency.

[0017] 2. This utility model uses a water temperature control component to drive a rotating cylinder driven by a motor to rotate the nozzle and spray water. This, combined with the continuous cooling of the circulating cooling water by the cooler inside the cooling shell, forms a uniform low-temperature cooling environment. The rotating water spray causes the cooling water inside the cooling shell to flow continuously and rapidly, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling water inside the cooling shell and the surface of the condenser tube. By enhancing the condensation rate, the distillation cycle is shortened, allowing the liquor to condense quickly and improving the production efficiency of the liquor. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model relates to a steam condensate separation structure for rice wine distillation, comprising a cooling shell 1, a vapor-liquid separation component 3, and a water temperature control component 4. A condenser tube 2 is installed inside the cooling shell 1, with its top extending to the outside of the cooling shell 1. The vapor-liquid separation component 3 includes a separation shell 31, with the bottom of the condenser tube 2 penetrating the cooling shell 1 and communicating with the separation shell 31. A drain pipe 32 is connected to the bottom of the separation shell 31. A sealing ring 33 and a sealing ring 34 are fixedly connected between the drain pipe 32 and the two sides of the inner cavity of the separation shell 31, respectively. A cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 31. The bottom of the output end of the cylinder 35 passes through the separation shell 31 and is fixedly connected to a sealing plug 36. A sealing block 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing plug 36. An exhaust mechanism 38 is connected to the left side of the separation shell 31. The water temperature control component 4 includes a motor 41. The top of the output end of the motor 41 passes through the cooling shell 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating cylinder 42. A nozzle 43 is connected to the surface of the rotating cylinder 42. The top of the rotating cylinder 42 passes through the cooling shell 1 and is connected to a cooling mechanism 44 through a rotary joint 45.

[0028] Specifically: Cooling shell 1 circulates condensate, causing the wine vapor inside condenser tube 2 to condense; separation shell 31 separates the wine and vapor; drain pipe 32 drains the wine from separation shell 31; sealing ring 33 and plugging ring 34 cooperate with sealing plug 36 and plugging block 37 to seal drain pipe 32; cylinder 35 adjusts the working height of sealing plug 36; when sealing plug 36 moves upward, sealing plug 36 no longer seals sealing ring 33, and at the same time, plugging block 37, which is not in close contact with plugging ring 34, seals the sealing ring. The central through hole of 34 is blocked, allowing the liquid to flow between the sealing ring 33 and the blocking ring 34. When the cylinder 35 is reset, the sealing ring 33 is sealed, while the through hole of the blocking ring 34 is opened. At this time, the liquid is discharged from the separation shell 31 through the drain pipe 32, preventing the liquid and steam from mixing and affecting the purity of the liquid. The motor 41 can control the rotating drum 42 to rotate. While rotating, the nozzles 43 installed on the surface of the rotating drum 42 spray out cooling water. By making the cooling water inside the cooling shell 1 flow quickly, the condensation effect on the steam inside the condenser tube 2 is improved.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, the cooling mechanism 44 includes a cooling shell 441. A cooler 442 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the cooling shell 441. The cold end of the front side of the cooler 442 extends into the inner cavity of the cooling shell 441. A water injection pipe 443 is connected to the left side of the top of the cooling shell 1. The left side of the cooling shell 441 is connected to the water injection pipe 443 through a conduit. A mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cooling shell 1. Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the rear side of the mounting frame 5. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the inner cavity of the separation shell 31. A sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding rod. The right side of the sealing plug 36 is fixedly connected to the sealing plug 36. The right side of the sealing plug 36 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped patch 6 through the connecting plate. The right side of the arc-shaped patch 6 is attached to the inner wall of the separation shell 31. A temperature sensor is provided on the front side of the cooling shell 1. The probe of the temperature sensor penetrates into the inner cavity of the cooling shell 1. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the right side of the cooling shell 1. The top of the sealing block 37 is provided with an inclined slope. The exhaust mechanism 38 includes a duct 381. The right side of the duct 381 is connected to the separation shell 31. A fan 382 is fixedly connected between the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the duct 381.

[0031] Specifically: the cooling shell 441 is used to lower the temperature of the cooling water; the cooler 442 can cool the circulating cooling water; the water injection pipe 443 guides part of the cooling water to the cooling shell 441, so that it is cooled down after passing through the cooling shell 441 and enters the rotating cylinder 42; the mounting frame 5 and mounting holes can facilitate the installation and fixation of the cooling shell 1, preventing it from shaking during operation; the sliding rod and sliding sleeve can limit the sealing plug 36, preventing it from failing to accurately align with the through hole at the top of the sealing ring 33 when resetting; the arc-shaped patch 6 can cool the cooling water as the sealing plug 36 moves upward. The outlet of the condenser pipe 2 is sealed to prevent steam from entering during the drainage process. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the cooling water inside the cooling shell 1. When the cooling water temperature is high, the water injection pipe 443 can be controlled to increase the water injection volume. The drain pipe can discharge the cooling water out of the cooling shell 1, so that the cooling water inside the cooling shell 1 flows continuously. The inclined slope facilitates the sealing block 37 to seal the through hole of the sealing ring 34. The air duct 381 and the exhaust fan 382 can quickly discharge the steam inside the separation shell 31, preventing it from staying inside the separation shell 31 and condensing, so that the wine and steam are quickly separated.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the rice wine vapor enters from the top of the condenser tube 2, it condenses on the surface of the condenser tube 2 in the inner cavity of the cooling shell 1 in contact with the circulating cooling water. The cooling water injected into the cooling shell 1 is partially introduced into the cooling shell 441 through the water injection pipe 443. After being cooled by the refrigerator 442, it is transported to the rotating drum 42 through the conduit. The motor 41 drives the rotating drum 42 to drive the nozzle 43 to rotate, so that the cooling water is sprayed out evenly, and the cooling water continuously washes the surface of the condenser tube 2 to accelerate the condensation of steam. The condensed wine liquid and some steam enter the inner cavity of the separation shell 31 along the condenser tube 2. At this time, the cylinder 35 drives the sealing plug 36 to rise and seal. Block 37 seals the through hole of sealing ring 34, and the liquor is temporarily stored in the cavity between sealing ring 33 and sealing ring 34. At the same time, arc-shaped patch 6 seals the outlet of condenser tube 2 to prevent steam from mixing in. Meanwhile, exhaust fan 382 discharges the residual steam from separation shell 31. After the liquor accumulates, cylinder 35 resets, causing sealing plug 36 to press down, sealing ring 33 closes and sealing ring 34 through hole opens, and liquor is discharged unidirectionally through drain pipe 32. By separating liquor and steam, the secondary condensation of steam is prevented from mixing with liquor, avoiding dilution of liquor, preserving aroma components, reducing energy consumption of repeated distillation, and significantly improving liquor purity and production efficiency.
