Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of beer production technology, and in particular to a stable supply device for flavor lipid additives in beer production. Background Technology
[0002] In the beer production process, in order to give the beer a special taste and aroma after fermentation, special flavor lipid additives need to be added to the beer fermentation tank during the fermentation process.
[0003] Currently, when adding special flavor lipid additives to beer fermentation tanks during the beer fermentation process, metering pumps and filter boxes installed at the feed end of the metering pumps are mainly used to filter the special flavor lipid additives and convey them to the top frame for addition, so as to ensure the stable delivery of special flavor lipid additives into the beer fermentation tank.
[0004] Although metering pumps and filter cartridges can be used to filter and quantitatively add flavor esters into the beer fermentation tank, there are several problems during the addition process. First, after prolonged filtration, the accumulation of impurities on the filter components slows down the flow of flavor esters through the filter cartridge, reducing the supply efficiency. Second, after supplying flavor esters, residual flavor esters at the end of the metering pump can be affected by the internal pressure of the beer fermentation tank and cannot fully enter the fermentation tank, resulting in inaccurate addition of flavor esters and ultimately affecting the final fermentation quality of the beer. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] To better understand the technical solutions presented in the embodiments of this application, the principle of supplying and adding special flavor lipid additives used in existing beer production will first be introduced.
[0026] Currently, when adding special flavor lipid additives to beer fermentation tanks during the beer fermentation process, metering pumps and filter boxes installed at the feed end of the metering pumps are mainly used to filter the special flavor lipid additives and convey them to the top frame for addition, so as to ensure the stable delivery of special flavor lipid additives into the beer fermentation tank.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 This application discloses a stable supply device for flavor lipid additives in beer production, comprising a beer fermentation tank 7, a buffer tank 1 installed on one side of the top of the beer fermentation tank 7, a U-shaped support 11 installed on the top of the buffer tank 1, a pressure mechanism 10 installed on the support 11, the pressure mechanism 10 including a motor 101, a screw 102, a pressure plate 103, a sealing ring 104, and a square screw sleeve 105; a conveying pipe 5 is installed at the feed inlet of the buffer tank 1, a metering pump 4 is connected to the end of the conveying pipe 5 opposite to the buffer tank 1, a support plate 6 is bolted to the lower side of the metering pump 4, a support 3 is installed on the support plate 6 on one side of the metering pump 4, a filter box 2 is installed on the support 3, a vibration filter mechanism 9 is installed inside the filter box 2, the vibration filter mechanism 9 including a waterproof vibration motor 91, a spring 92, a sliding column 93, a filter screen 94, a lower ring frame 95, and an upper ring frame 96.
[0028] Specifically, during the beer production process, when flavor lipid additives are supplied to the beer fermentation tank 7, a waterproof vibration motor 91 is used to continuously vibrate the filter screen 94 up and down. This effectively reduces the drawback of slowed-down flavor lipid additive supply due to impurities clogging the mesh of the filter screen 94 after prolonged filtration, thus increasing the supply efficiency of flavor lipid additives. When the flavor lipid additive supply process is about to end, the screw 102 rotates under the action of the motor 101. Under the transmission action of the screw 102, the square screw sleeve 105 moves down along the buffer tank 1. As the square screw sleeve 105 moves down, it applies pressure to the inside of the buffer tank 1 with the help of the pressure plate 103. This ensures that the flavor lipid additives at the end of the metering pump 4, located in the buffer tank 1, can be fully discharged into the beer fermentation tank 7, ensuring the accuracy of the addition of special flavor lipid additives and guaranteeing the final fermentation quality of the beer.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A pull-out mechanism 8 is also installed between the filter box 2 and the vibration filter mechanism 9. The pull-out mechanism 8 includes a guide telescopic rod 81, a linkage plate 82, and an electric telescopic rod 83.
[0030] As one implementation method, when it is necessary to clean the vibration filter mechanism 9, after the metering pump 4 is stopped and the flavor lipid additive supply pipeline is closed, the linkage plate 82 can be pulled out relative to the filter box 2 by means of the electric telescopic rod 83 and the guide telescopic rod 81. The vibration filter mechanism 9 can be pulled out of the filter box 2 during the process of pulling the linkage plate 82 outward, which is convenient for cleaning.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The outlet at the bottom of the buffer tank 1 is connected to the inside of the beer fermentation tank 7, and the buffer tank 1 is connected to the flange of the conveying pipe 5.
[0032] As one implementation method, the outlet at the bottom of the buffer tank 1 is connected to the inside of the beer fermentation tank 7, which can ensure that the flavor lipid additives in the buffer tank 1 can be smoothly retained in the beer fermentation tank 7.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The motor 101 is installed at the top center of the bracket 11. The screw 102 is installed at the power output end of the motor 101 through a coupling. The square screw sleeve 105 is installed at the bottom end of the screw 102. The pressure plate 103 is rotatably installed at the bottom end of the square screw sleeve 105. The sealing ring 104 is installed on the outer wall of the pressure plate 103.
[0034] In one implementation, the motor 101 is mainly used to provide power for the rotation of the screw 102 so that the square screw sleeve 105 moves down along the buffer tank 1 after the screw 102 rotates. As the screw sleeve moves down, the pressure plate 103 will help to fully discharge the flavor lipid additives remaining in the buffer tank 1 into the beer fermentation tank 7, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the amount of flavor lipid additives added.
[0035] Please see Figure 4 The pressure plate 103 has a disc-shaped structure, and the sealing ring 104 is bonded to the pressure plate 103. The sealing ring 104 is made of rubber.
[0036] In one implementation, the sealing ring 104 is mainly used to ensure the sealing between the pressure plate 103 and the inner wall of the buffer tank 1, and to prevent flavor lipid additives from entering the upper side of the pressure plate 103.
[0037] Please see Figures 2-3 The upper ring frame 96 is bolted to the top of the slide column 93, and the lower ring frame 95 is bolted to the bottom of the slide column 93. The slide column 93 passes through the frame of the filter screen 94 and slides with the filter screen 94.
[0038] In one implementation, the slide bar 93 is mainly used to guide the up-and-down vibration of the filter screen 94 to ensure that the filter screen 94 does not tilt when vibrating.
[0039] Please see Figures 2-3 Springs 92 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the filter screen plate 94 on the sliding column 93. The springs 92 are inserted into the filter screen plate 94, and the end of the spring 92 facing away from the filter screen plate 94 is a free end.
[0040] In one implementation, the spring 92 can make the vibrating plate 94 vibrate more vigorously. When the filter plate 94 vibrates, it will shake up the impurities in the mesh, thereby ensuring that flavor lipid additives pass through the filter plate 94 quickly.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The upper ring frame 96 and the lower ring frame 95 are larger than the size of the filter screen 94. The upper ring frame 96 and the lower ring frame 95 are both welded to the linkage plate 82. The part of the filter box 2 that mates with the linkage plate 82 has a sealing gasket.
[0042] As one implementation method, the upper ring frame 96 and the lower ring frame 95 not only provide a mounting base for the sliding column 93, but also limit the vibration amplitude of the filter screen 94.
[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The electric telescopic rod 83 is installed between one side of the linkage plate 82 and the filter box 2, and the guide telescopic rod 81 is installed between the other side of the linkage plate 82 and the filter box 2.
[0044] As one implementation method, the guide telescopic rod 81 is mainly used to guide the movement of the linkage plate 82 to ensure the stable telescopic movement of the linkage plate 82 under the action of the electric telescopic rod 83.
[0045] The specific working principle is as follows: When stably supplying flavor lipid additives into the beer fermentation tank 7, the external flavor lipid additive storage container is first connected to the filter box 2. Then, under the action of the metering pump 4, the flavor lipid additives are pumped through the delivery pipe 5 to the buffer tank 1, so that the flavor lipid additives finally enter the beer fermentation tank 7 through the buffer tank 1. During the stable supply of flavor lipid additives, the waterproof vibration motor 91 is used to make the filter screen 94 vibrate up and down continuously, which can effectively reduce the blockage of the filter screen 94 mesh by impurities after long-term filtration, thus reducing the supply of flavor lipid additives. The slower speed results in higher efficiency in the supply of flavor lipid additives. When the supply process of flavor lipid additives is about to end, the screw 102 rotates under the action of the motor 101. Under the transmission of the screw 102, the square screw sleeve 105 moves down along the buffer tank 1. As the square screw sleeve 105 moves down, it applies pressure to the inside of the buffer tank 1 with the help of the pressure plate 103. This allows the flavor lipid additives at the end of the metering pump 4, which are located in the buffer tank 1, to be fully discharged into the beer fermentation tank 7. This ensures the accuracy of the amount of special flavor lipid additives added and guarantees the final fermentation quality of the beer.
[0046] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
