Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing technology, specifically a temperature monitoring device for brewing production. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing is the process of producing alcoholic beverages through microbial fermentation. It typically uses grains, fruits, and other raw materials, and involves steps such as crushing, cooking, saccharification, fermentation, and distillation. Different raw materials and processes have created a variety of alcoholic beverages, including spirits, beer, and wine. Its history can be traced back to the Neolithic Age. Today, it is not only an important part of food culture but also occupies an important position in the food industry. Temperature monitoring is crucial during brewing, as temperature affects the activity of microorganisms. For example, yeast fermentation is best done at 25-30℃. If the temperature is too low, its activity is inhibited and fermentation stops. If the temperature is too high, the yeast is prone to die and fusel oils are produced. During saccharification, the temperature must match the enzyme activity requirements. Improper control will lead to low raw material utilization and poor quality. In addition, temperature also affects the formation of flavor compounds. Accurate monitoring can ensure stable fermentation and improve the yield and quality of the alcohol.

[0003] Most temperature monitoring devices commonly used in brewing production on the market are temperature detectors. When these temperature detectors are installed on the surface of the fermentation tank, they are often fixed with multiple bolts, requiring workers to use professional tools for operation. This installation method is quite cumbersome. If the bolts are accidentally lost during installation, it will lead to a significant reduction in the stability of the temperature detector.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a temperature monitoring device for brewing production, including a fermentation tank 1, a feed inlet 2 and a discharge outlet 3. The feed inlet 2 is located on the right side of the fermentation tank 1, the discharge outlet 3 is located on the lower surface of the fermentation tank 1, and a monitoring mechanism 4 is provided on the front surface of the fermentation tank 1.

[0028] The monitoring mechanism 4 includes a temperature detector 41, a placement block 42, a sealing hole 43, and a sealing ring 44. The rear surface of the placement block 42 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the fermenter 1. The inner wall of the placement block 42 is in contact with the rear surface of the temperature detector 41. The sealing hole 43 is opened on the front surface of the fermenter 1. The inner wall of the sealing hole 43 is sealed to the outer surface of the sealing ring 44. The inner wall of the sealing ring 44 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the temperature detector 41. A clamping component 5 is provided on the inner wall of the placement block 42.

[0029] Specifically, the sealed design can withstand the internal pressure generated by fermentation, reducing the risk of leakage, and the temperature detector 41 is in direct contact with the fermentation liquid or gas to monitor the temperature changes inside the tank in real time, providing an accurate basis for regulating the heating / cooling system.

[0030] Furthermore, the temperature detector 41 is inserted into the placement block 42. The temperature detector 41 drives the sealing ring 44 into the sealing hole 43. The rear end of the temperature detector 41 enters the fermentation tank 1. At this time, the raw materials can be poured in from the feed port 2 for fermentation.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a temperature monitoring device for brewing production. Two clamping components 5 are provided. The two clamping components 5 include clamping grooves 51, through holes 52 and clamping blocks 53. The clamping grooves 51 are opened on the left and right sides of the temperature detector 41. The through holes 52 are opened on the surface of the placement block 42. The outer surface of the clamping block 53 is in contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove 51. The outer surface of the clamping block 53 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole 52.

[0033] The outer surface of the clamping block 53 is provided with a spring-loaded component 6. There are two spring-loaded components 6, each including a sliding rod 61 and a first spring 62. Both ends of the sliding rod 61 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement block 42. The outer surface of the sliding rod 61 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clamping block 53. One end of the first spring 62 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the clamping block 53, and the opposite end of the first spring 62 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement block 42.

[0034] Specifically, by providing a clamping component 5 and a spring-loaded component 6, the temperature detector 41 can be quickly fixed to prevent it from falling off.

[0035] Furthermore, the temperature detector 41 enters the placement block 42, and the rear surface of the temperature detector 41 presses against the clamping block 53, causing the clamping block 53 to move outward along the sliding rod 61. The clamping block 53 compresses the first spring 62, causing the first spring 62 to generate elastic force until the clamping block 53 corresponds to the clamping groove 51. Only then can the first spring 62 release its elastic force, and the first spring 62 can press the clamping block 53, causing the clamping block 53 to enter the clamping groove 51, thus completing the fixed installation of the temperature detector 41.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] The second embodiment of this utility model provides a temperature monitoring device for brewing production. A connector 7 is provided on the upper surface of the clamping block 53. There are two connectors 7, and the lower surfaces of the two connectors 7 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the clamping block 53.

[0038] The inner wall of the connector 7 is provided with an extrusion assembly 8, which includes a support column 81, a roller 82 and an extrusion block 83. There are two support columns 81, and both ends of the two support columns 81 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector 7. There are two rollers 82, and the inner walls of the two rollers 82 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support column 81 through bearings. The outer surface of the extrusion block 83 is in contact with the outer surface of the roller 82.

[0039] A support rod 9 is provided on the inner wall of the extrusion block 83. Both the upper and lower ends of the support rod 9 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement block 42. The outer surface of the support rod 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the extrusion block 83.

[0040] A pressing component 10 is provided on the upper surface of the extrusion block 83. The pressing component 10 includes a pressing member 101 and a second spring 102. The lower end face of the pressing member 101 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the extrusion block 83 and passes through the upper surface of the placement block 42. The upper end face of the second spring 102 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the pressing member 101 and the lower end face of the second spring 102 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placement block 42.

[0041] Specifically, by setting up connector 7, pressing component 8, support rod 9 and pressing component 10, the clamping block 53 can be quickly disengaged from the clamping groove 51 by pressing the pressing component 101, making it easier for staff to remove the temperature detector 41.

[0042] Furthermore, by pressing down on the pressing member 101, the pressing member 101 can compress the second spring 102, causing the second spring 102 to generate elastic force. At the same time, the pressing member 101 can push the pressing block 83 to move downward along the outer surface of the support rod 9, so that the pressing block 83 compresses the roller 82. The roller 82 moves outward along the outer surface of the pressing block 83. The roller 82 then drives the connecting member 7 to move outward together through the support column 81. The connecting member 7 then drives the clamping block 53 to move outward, so that the clamping block 53 disengages from the clamping groove 51.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] The temperature detector 41 is inserted into the placement block 42. The rear surface of the temperature detector 41 presses against the clamping block 53, causing the clamping block 53 to move outward along the sliding rod 61. The clamping block 53 compresses the first spring 62, causing the first spring 62 to generate elastic force until the clamping block 53 corresponds to the clamping groove 51. Only then can the first spring 62 release its elastic force, and the first spring 62 can compress the clamping block 53, causing the clamping block 53 to enter the clamping groove 51, thus completing the fixed installation of the temperature detector 41. At the same time, the temperature detector 41 drives the sealing ring 44 into the sealing hole 43, and the rear end of the temperature detector 41 enters the fermentation tank 1. At this time, the raw materials can be poured in from the feed port 2 for fermentation.

[0045] When the temperature detector 41 needs to be removed, the pressing member 101 is pressed down, which compresses the second spring 102, causing the second spring 102 to generate elastic force. At the same time, the pressing member 101 pushes the pressing block 83 to move downward along the outer surface of the support rod 9, so that the pressing block 83 compresses the roller 82. The roller 82 moves outward along the outer surface of the pressing block 83, and the roller 82 drives the connecting member 7 to move outward together through the support column 81. The connecting member 7 drives the clamping block 53 to move outward, so that the clamping block 53 disengages from the clamping groove 51. At this time, the operator can remove the temperature detector 41.

[0046] In summary, the combination of the monitoring mechanism 4, clamping component 5, spring-loaded component 6, connector 7, compression component 8, support rod 9, and pressing component 10 solves the problem of multiple bolts requiring specialized tools for installation, which is cumbersome. Furthermore, if bolts are accidentally lost during installation, the stability of the subsequent temperature detector will be significantly reduced.
