Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of liquor production equipment, and in particular to a raw grain cooking device for liquor production. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor), the steaming and cooking of raw grains is an essential and crucial step. The purpose of steaming and cooking raw grains is to fully gelatinize the starch granules, break down the cell wall structure of the plants, and kill off any bacteria on the surface of the raw grains through high temperatures, thus creating favorable conditions for subsequent processes such as saccharification and fermentation.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN218115385U discloses a raw grain cooking device for baijiu production, relating to the field of baijiu. This raw grain cooking device for baijiu production includes a steaming tray and a steam pool. The steaming tray is placed inside the steam pool, which includes a bottom plate. An outer sleeve is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate, and an inner sleeve is provided in the inner ring of the outer sleeve. In this raw grain cooking device for baijiu production, a support sleeve is placed inside a support slot, so that the support slot and the connecting sleeve fit together. The end cap is connected to the top of the steam pool. Water can be heated by heating wires, and steam can directly heat the steaming tray from the inner ring of the diversion ring. At the same time, it can enter the interior of the guide pipe through the edge of the diversion ring, and then enter the interior of the steaming tray through the support slot. Finally, the raw materials in the steaming tray can be heated through the exhaust pipe, which solves the problem of uneven heating in the steaming tray in the prior art.

[0004] The aforementioned patent documents still have the following defects in practice:

[0005] Without a dedicated condensate recovery mechanism, condensate from the inner wall of the container will drip directly onto the surface of the raw grain, which may lead to excessive moisture in some areas, affecting the uniformity of the grain gelatinization, and may even introduce impurities to contaminate the raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0006] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a raw grain cooking device for baijiu production, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned above.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A grain cooking device for baijiu (Chinese liquor) production includes a box body, a steam mechanism fixedly connected to the lower end of the box body, a box door installed at the rear end of the box body, a vent valve fixedly connected to the upper left part of the box body, a motor fixedly connected to the lower front part of the box body, a cooking mechanism fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a flow guiding mechanism fixedly connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the box body, and a support mechanism installed in the middle of the flow guiding mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the steam mechanism includes a steam generator, with an outlet pipe fixedly connected to the upper left side of the steam generator and an inlet pipe fixedly connected to the upper right side of the steam generator.

[0010] Preferably, the cooking mechanism includes two pulleys, the inner surfaces of which are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two output ends of the motor, respectively. A transmission belt is covered on the outer surface of each pulley, and a second pulley is wound around the end of the transmission belt away from the first pulley. A transmission rod is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the second pulley, and a disc is fixedly connected to the end of the transmission rod near the motor. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the end of the disc away from the second pulley. A limit plate is slidably connected to the outer surface of the fixing block, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of both limit plates. A plurality of air supply pipes are fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixing plate.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing plate is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes, the number and position of which correspond to the air supply pipe. The upper end of the air supply pipe is conical, and both the cylindrical and conical portions of the air supply pipe are provided with a plurality of ventilation holes.

[0012] Preferably, the flow guiding mechanism includes a fixed frame, the front end and the left and right ends of the flow guiding mechanism are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the box, the upper end of the fixed frame is fixedly connected to a flow guide frame, and the outer surface of the flow guide frame is fixedly connected to a U-shaped flow guide plate.

[0013] Preferably, the upper end of the flow guide is a triangular structure with a high middle and low sides, and the front end of the U-shaped flow guide is higher than the rear end.

[0014] Preferably, the flow guiding mechanism includes a strip plate, the left and right ends of which are fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the box, and a water storage tank is placed on the upper part of the strip plate.

[0015] Preferably, the supporting mechanism includes a steamer, which is placed on the upper end of the fixed frame. A handle is fixedly connected to the rear end of the steamer. The bottom plate of the steamer is provided with a plurality of round holes, the number and position of which correspond to the air supply pipe.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this embodiment, a cooking mechanism is set up. The motor drives pulley one to rotate, which drives pulley two through the transmission belt. This causes the disc, the fixed block, the limiting plate, the fixed plate, and the air supply pipe to move up and down. The air supply pipe moves upward and extends into the raw grain. Steam enters the inner cavity of the air supply pipe through the ventilation holes on the fixed plate, and is then transported to the raw grain through the ventilation holes in the cylindrical and conical parts of the air supply pipe. This allows the steam to heat the raw grain from the inside, making the cooking more thorough and uniform. Furthermore, the upper end of the air supply pipe is conical, so it will not lift the raw grain but only pass through it, ensuring that the steam can effectively act on the raw grain.

[0018] 2. In this embodiment, a flow guiding mechanism is set up. The upper end of the flow guide frame is a triangular structure with a high middle and low sides. The front end of the U-shaped flow guide plate is higher than the rear end. The condensate generated on the upper wall and side wall of the box drips onto the flow guide frame and the U-shaped flow guide plate respectively. Under the action of gravity, the condensate will flow along the flow guide frame and the U-shaped flow guide plate to the water storage tank for collection. This avoids the condensate from dripping directly onto the surface of the raw grain, preventing excessive local moisture from affecting the uniformity of the raw grain gelatinization, and also avoids the introduction of impurities to contaminate the raw materials, thus ensuring the quality of the raw grain cooking.

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0028] Example 1, as Figures 1-2As shown, a raw grain cooking device for liquor production includes a box body 1, a steam mechanism 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the box body 1, a box door 4 installed at the rear end of the box body 1, a vent valve 5 fixedly connected to the upper left part of the box body 1, a motor 6 fixedly connected to the lower front part of the box body 1, a cooking mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6, a flow guiding mechanism 7 fixedly connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the box body 1, and a support mechanism 8 installed in the middle of the flow guiding mechanism 7.

[0029] During implementation, open the box door 4, place the supporting mechanism 8 into the guiding mechanism 7, close the box door 4, start the motor 6, the motor 6 drives the cooking mechanism 3 to move and extend into the supporting mechanism 8, start the steam mechanism 2, the steam mechanism 2 generates steam that enters from the bottom of the box 1, and the output steam returns to the steam mechanism 2 after passing through the supporting mechanism 8 for circulation. When the pressure is high, open the vent valve 5 to reduce the pressure inside the box 1.

[0030] In order to steam and cook the raw grains in the support facility 8, please refer to... Figure 3 The steam mechanism 2 includes a steam generator 21, with an outlet pipe 22 fixedly connected to the upper left part of the steam generator 21 and an inlet pipe 23 fixedly connected to the upper right part of the steam generator 21.

[0031] The steam generator 21 used in this utility model is the existing SZG-5 model steam generator;

[0032] During implementation, the steam generator 21 is started, and the steam generated by the steam generator 21 is delivered to the bottom of the box 1 through the exhaust pipe 22, so that the steam fills the inside of the box 1. Then the steam at the top of the box 1 returns to the steam generator 21 through the intake pipe 23, ensuring that the steam pressure and temperature are constant.

[0033] To ensure the raw grains are thoroughly steamed and cooked, please refer to... Figure 4 The cooking mechanism 3 includes two pulleys 31. The inner surfaces of the two pulleys 31 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two output ends of the motor 6. The outer surface of the pulleys 31 is covered with a transmission belt 32. The end of the transmission belt 32 away from the pulleys 31 is wound with a pulley 33. The inner surface of the pulley 33 is fixedly connected to a transmission rod. The end of the transmission rod near the motor 6 is fixedly connected to a disc 34. The end of the disc 34 away from the pulley 33 is fixedly connected to a fixing block 36. The outer surface of the fixing block 36 is slidably connected to a limit plate 35. The upper ends of the two limit plates 35 are fixedly connected to a fixing plate 37. The upper end of the fixing plate 37 is fixedly connected to several air supply pipes 38.

[0034] The fixed plate 37 is provided with several ventilation holes, the number and position of which correspond to the air supply pipe 38. The upper end of the air supply pipe 38 is conical, and both the cylindrical and conical parts of the air supply pipe 38 are provided with several ventilation holes.

[0035] During implementation, the supporting mechanism 8 is placed on the upper end of the fixed frame 71, and the motor 6 is started. The motor 6 drives the pulley 31 to rotate. The pulley 31 drives the pulley 33 through the transmission belt 32. The pulley 33 drives the disc 34 to rotate. The disc 34 drives the limiting plate 35 to move up and down through the fixed block 36. The limiting plate 35 drives the fixed plate 37 and the air supply pipe 38 to move up and down. The front end of the fixed plate 37 is limited by the flow guiding mechanism 7, so that the fixed plate 37 and the air supply pipe 38 can only move up and down. The air supply pipe 38 moves upward and extends into the raw grain. The fixed plate 37 is provided with several air holes. Steam enters the inner cavity of the air supply pipe 38 through the holes on the fixed plate 37, and then delivers the steam to the raw grain through the air holes on the surface of the air supply pipe 38, so that the cooking is more thorough. The function of the conical top is to prevent the raw grain from being lifted up, so that the air supply pipe 38 only passes through the raw grain.

[0036] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The supporting mechanism 8 includes a steamer 81, which is placed on the upper end of the fixed frame 71. A handle 82 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the steamer 81. The bottom plate of the steamer 81 is provided with a number of round holes 83, and the number and position of the round holes 83 correspond to the air supply pipe 38.

[0037] During the process, the staff grasped the handle 82 and placed the steamer 81 filled with soaked raw grain on the upper end of the fixed frame 71, and then pushed it forward until it was blocked by the front wall of the guide frame 74. At this time, the round hole 83 corresponds to the position of the air supply pipe 38, and the air supply pipe 38 extends into the raw grain through the round hole 83 to fully steam the raw grain.

[0038] Example 2: To recover the condensate generated on the inner wall of container 1 and avoid contaminating the raw grain and affecting the cooking effect, please refer to... Figure 5 The flow guiding mechanism 7 includes a fixed frame 71. The front end and the left and right ends of the flow guiding mechanism 7 are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the box 1. A flow guiding frame 74 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed frame 71. A spiral flow guiding plate 75 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the flow guiding frame 74.

[0039] The upper part of the flow guide 74 is a triangular structure with a high middle and low sides. The front end of the U-shaped flow guide plate 75 is higher than the rear end. The flow guide mechanism 7 includes a strip plate 72. The left and right ends of the strip plate 72 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner cavity of the box 1. A water storage tank 73 is placed on the upper part of the strip plate 72.

[0040] During implementation, the condensate generated on the upper wall of the container 1 drips onto the upper end of the guide frame 74. The upper end of the guide frame 74 is higher in the middle and lower on both sides. The condensate flows along the upper end of the guide frame 74 to the upper end of the U-shaped guide plate 75. The condensate generated on the side wall also falls along the side wall to the upper end of the U-shaped guide plate 75. Since the U-shaped guide plate 75 is higher in the front and lower in the back, the condensate falls along the U-shaped guide plate 75 into the water storage tank 73 and is collected. After the cooking is completed, it is treated uniformly.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
