[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of koji block forming technology, specifically relating to an automatic koji block forming equipment for baijiu brewing. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing of baijiu, the formed koji blocks are conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. Their specific shape and structure provide a suitable habitat for microorganisms, allowing them to be evenly distributed inside and on the surface of the koji blocks, thus promoting the fermentation process. Secondly, the pressed koji blocks are easy to store and transport, are not easily broken, and can maintain their integrity and quality, making them convenient to use in different production stages.

[0003] Traditional methods of forming koji blocks for baijiu brewing mostly rely on manual labor or semi-automatic equipment. Manual forming is inefficient, labor-intensive, and makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the koji blocks. Existing semi-automatic equipment suffers from uneven material distribution and poor pressing effect. Therefore, an automatic koji block forming device for baijiu brewing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic forming device for brewing koji blocks that can be pressed evenly in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automatic koji block forming device for baijiu brewing includes a worktable and a pressing plate slidably disposed on the worktable. A material storage bin is provided on the worktable. A pressing groove is opened on the worktable, and a material storage pusher is slidably disposed on the worktable.

[0007] It also includes:

[0008] A push plate, which is slidably disposed in a pressing groove;

[0009] Side plates, which are disposed on both sides of the pressing groove;

[0010] Mounting plate, which is slidably connected to push plate;

[0011] A drive mechanism is mounted on a mounting plate and has a cam that abuts against a push plate. The drive mechanism moves on the side plate to drive the cam to rotate.

[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a crossbar 1, which is rotatably mounted on a mounting plate. A crossbar 2 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate. A cam is fixedly mounted on the crossbar 2. Both the crossbar 2 and the crossbar 1 are provided with synchronous pulleys. A synchronous belt is provided between the synchronous pulleys. Gears are fixedly mounted at both ends of the crossbar 1.

[0013] As a further optimization of this utility model, a clearance groove is provided on the side plate, and the crossbar passes through the clearance groove through the side plate. A rack is provided on one side of the clearance groove, and the rack meshes with a gear.

[0014] As a further optimization of this utility model, a support column is fixedly provided on the mounting plate, the support column can abut against the push plate, and a connecting frame is fixedly provided on the mounting plate.

[0015] As a further optimization of this utility model, a cylinder is fixedly installed on the workbench, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the connecting frame.

[0016] As a further optimization of this utility model, slide rods are fixedly provided at the four corners of the push plate, the slide rods slide through the mounting plate, and springs are sleeved on the slide rods, with the two ends of the springs connected to the push plate and the mounting plate respectively.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the automatic forming equipment for koji blocks used in baijiu brewing includes a worktable 1 and a pressing plate 11 slidably mounted on the worktable 1. A storage bin 12 is provided on the worktable 1. A pressing groove 13 is formed on the worktable 1. A storage pusher 2 is slidably mounted on the worktable 1, and a drive source is connected to the storage pusher 2. A storage bin 21 is formed on the storage pusher 2, and the storage bin 21 is movably connected to the storage bin 12 and the pressing groove 13. The worktable 1 serves as the basic support component of the entire equipment, providing a stable platform for the installation and operation of other components. The pressing plate 11 is slidably mounted on the worktable 1, and a drive source is provided on the pressing plate 11, enabling flexible and efficient pressing of the material in the pressing groove 13. The storage bin 12 can store a certain amount of material, ensuring the continuity of material supply and avoiding production interruptions due to insufficient material. The material storage pusher 2 and the material storage bin 21 on it are slidable, which can accurately transport materials from the storage bin 12 to the pressing tank 13, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of material transportation.

[0029] A push plate 4 is slidably mounted in the pressing groove 13. Slide rods 41 are fixedly mounted at the four corners of the push plate 4, sliding along the mounting plate 3. Springs 42 are sleeved on the slide rods 41, with their ends connected to the push plate 4 and the mounting plate 3 respectively. The push plate 4 slides in the pressing groove 13, effectively pushing and compacting the material. The slide rods 41 at the four corners of the push plate 4 ensure its stability and verticality during sliding, allowing it to apply pressure evenly to the material. The springs 42, sleeved on the slide rods 41, act as buffers and shock absorbers, reducing impact and protecting equipment components during the up-and-down movement of the push plate 4, while also making the movement of the push plate 4 smoother.

[0030] A mounting plate 3 is slidably connected to the push plate 4. A support column 32 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3, and the support column 32 can abut against the push plate 4. A connecting frame 31 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 3. A cylinder 8 is fixedly mounted on the worktable 1, and the output end of the cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 31. The mounting plate 3 provides guidance and support for the sliding of the push plate 4, ensuring that the push plate 4 can move along a predetermined trajectory. The support column 32 can abut against the push plate 4 to limit the descent position of the push plate 4 and prevent the push plate 4 from falling excessively and damaging the equipment. The connecting frame 31 connects the cylinder 8 and the mounting plate 3. The cylinder 8, as a power source, can precisely control the movement of the mounting plate 3 and the push plate 4 through the connecting frame 31, realizing automated operation and improving production efficiency and accuracy.

[0031] A drive mechanism 5 is provided on the mounting plate 3, and a cam 7 is provided on the drive mechanism 5. The cam 7 abuts against the push plate 4. The drive mechanism 5 moves on the side plate 6, driving the cam 7 to rotate. The drive mechanism 5 includes a first crossbar 51, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 3. A second crossbar 52 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 3, driving the cam 7 to be fixedly mounted on the second crossbar 52. Both the second crossbar 52 and the first crossbar 51 are provided with synchronous pulleys, and a synchronous belt 53 is provided between the synchronous pulleys. Gears 54 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the first crossbar 51. The drive mechanism 5 provides power for the rotation of the cam 7. The first crossbar 51 and the second crossbar 52 achieve synchronous rotation through the synchronous belt 53 and the synchronous pulleys, ensuring the stability and accuracy of power transmission. The gears 54 are fixed at both ends of the first crossbar 51 and cooperate with the rack 62 on the side plate 6, which can convert the linear motion of the mounting plate 3 into the rotation of the first crossbar 51, thereby driving the cam 7 to rotate. This transmission method has a simple and reliable structure and is easy to maintain. Cam 7 abuts against push plate 4, and its rotation can cause push plate 4 to vibrate up and down at high frequency, which helps to disperse and distribute the material evenly.

[0032] Side plates 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the pressing groove 13. A clearance groove 61 is provided on the side plate 6. A crossbar 51 passes through the clearance groove 61 through the side plate 6. A rack 62 is provided on one side of the clearance groove 61, and the rack 62 meshes with a gear 54. The side plates 6 are fixed to both sides of the pressing groove 13, providing protection and support, preventing material spillage, and also guiding the movement of the drive mechanism 5. The clearance groove 61 provides space for the crossbar 51 to pass through, allowing it to move smoothly on the side plate 6. The meshing of the rack 62 and gear 54 enables the conversion between the linear motion of the mounting plate 3 and the rotation of the crossbar 51, ensuring the normal operation of the drive mechanism 5, thereby ensuring that the push plate 4 can achieve the shaking function and improve the uniformity of material distribution.

[0033] It should be noted that the working principle of this automatic koji block forming equipment for liquor brewing is as follows: First, the material in the storage bin 12 is conveyed to the storage bin 21 of the storage pusher 2. By sliding the storage pusher 2, the material is precisely pushed above the pressing groove 13 of the worktable 1. Subsequently, the cylinder 8 is activated, and its output end pulls down the connecting frame 31, causing the mounting plate 3 to slide linearly along the side plate 6. During the sliding process of the mounting plate 3, the gears 54 at both ends of the crossbar 1 51 mesh with the rack 62 on the side plate 6 and rotate, transmitting power to the crossbar 2 52 through the synchronous belt 53, which in turn drives the cam 7 fixed on the crossbar 2 52 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation, the cam 7 continuously abuts against the pusher plate 4, pushing the pusher plate 4 to vibrate up and down frequently in the pressing groove 13. This vibration effectively disperses the material, ensuring that the material is evenly distributed in the pressing groove 13. After the pusher plate 4 completes its descent, the storage pusher 2 resets. Next, the pressing plate 11 descends into the pressing groove 13, applying pressure to the material for pressing. After the pressing process is completed, the pressing plate 11 returns to its original position. The cylinder 8 then actuates again, pushing the mounting plate 3 upwards until the pressed curved block is pushed out of the pressing groove 13 and reaches the surface of the worktable 1. At this time, the storage bin 21 in the storage pusher 2 is refilled with material and moves towards the pressing groove 13. While conveying new material, the formed curved block is pushed out of the pressing groove 13 for easy collection by the staff.

[0034] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
