Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquor gelatinization, specifically to a liquor raw material gelatinization device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional solid-state fermentation baijiu production, the gelatinization unit and distillation equipment are typically integrated. Gelatinization requires an open operation to allow the grain raw material to fully contact the air, while the distillation stage requires a closed system to collect steam. Existing gelatinization units must remain open during operation to meet the process requirements of starch granules absorbing water and swelling (e.g., ...). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0003] This open-plan operation results in the direct release of large amounts of high-temperature steam into the production workshop, causing multiple problems: First, the uncontrolled release of high-temperature steam leads to a serious waste of thermal energy resources; second, the steam permeating the workshop creates visual obstacles, affecting the safe operation of personnel; third, the simultaneous operation of multiple gelatinization units creates a steam superposition effect, exacerbating the deterioration of the workshop environment. Furthermore, the suspended hoods in traditional units lack effective positioning mechanisms, making them prone to swaying during movement, affecting both operational efficiency and posing safety hazards. Regarding the steam recovery system, existing technology fails to effectively utilize the waste heat generated during the gelatinization process, and the boiler water supply system and steam recovery system lack coordinated design, resulting in low overall energy utilization. To address these issues, existing technologies urgently need improvement. Utility Model Content

The steam port of the steam boiler is connected to the steam exhaust pipe at the bottom of the gelatinization pot through a steam supply pipe. A liquid collection component is installed inside the cover.

[0007] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the side of the cantilever crane is provided with a limiting component to limit the sway of the cover. The limiting component includes a positioning sleeve fixed to the side of the cantilever crane, and a positioning rod for limiting the cover is inserted into the positioning sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the liquid collection assembly includes several annularly distributed fluid guides inside the shroud, each fluid guide including a lower liquid collection tank, the upper part of the liquid collection tank being fixed to the shroud via a connector, the middle part of the connector being connected to an adsorption conduit, and several adsorption holes being opened on both sides of the adsorption conduit.

[0009] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the end of the adsorption conduit extends downward and is connected to a ring tube fixed to the inner edge of the cover, and the ring tube is connected to the adsorption tube at an inclined angle via an inclined tube.

[0010] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the lower edge of the cover has a pair of limiting holes that match the positioning rod.

[0011] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the water tank is provided with a longitudinally arranged heating coil, and the outlet of the heating coil is higher than the water level in the water tank.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this application proposes a gelatinization device for baijiu raw materials, including a gelatinization pot and a cantilever crane installed on its side. The cantilever crane suspends a cover detached from the gelatinization pot. The cover transports the steam generated by the gelatinization pot to a water tank connected to a steam boiler for heating treatment through an adsorption pipe and a negative pressure fan. The steam port of the steam boiler is connected to the steam exhaust pipe at the bottom of the gelatinization pot through a steam supply pipe. A liquid collection component is installed inside the cover.

[0022] The gelatinization pot is constructed of inverted conical stainless steel and includes an internal grate container for holding the grain raw materials. A cantilever crane, using an electric hoist or manual chain, enables lifting, and single-point hoisting is possible. The cover shape matches the opening of the gelatinization pot, and the material is preferably lightweight and corrosion-resistant. The adsorption pipe can be a corrugated flexible hose or a rigid metal pipe, with a diameter ranging from 100-200mm. The negative pressure fan airflow is selected based on the gelatinization pot volume, typically 2000-5000m³ / h. 3 / h. The steam boiler can be connected to the water tank via flange or welding. The water tank volume is 0.5-2m³. 3 Seamless steel pipes with a diameter of 50-150mm can be used for steam supply pipes and steam exhaust pipes.

[0023] This technical solution solves the problem of steam waste in existing gelatinization devices by recovering and reusing the steam generated during the gelatinization process. Specifically, the steam generated during open gelatinization is collected by the hood and transported to the water tank by a negative pressure fan. This avoids energy waste caused by direct steam discharge and utilizes the waste heat of the steam to heat the boiler water. Compared with existing technologies, this device achieves steam recycling, improves energy efficiency, and improves the workshop working environment. During the steam recovery process, the steam collection efficiency is ensured by rationally setting the parameters of the adsorption pipe and the negative pressure fan, while the connection design between the steam supply pipe and the steam exhaust pipe ensures a stable steam supply.

[0024] Furthermore, this application also proposes that a limiting component for restricting the swaying of the cover is provided on the side of the cantilever crane. The limiting component includes a positioning sleeve fixed to the side of the cantilever crane, and a positioning rod for restricting the cover is inserted into the positioning sleeve.

[0025] The positioning sleeve can be fixed to the side of the cantilever crane by welding or bolting. Its inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the positioning rod to allow for sliding fit. The positioning rod is preferably made of stainless steel, and an anti-detachment stop can be provided at its end. As a preferred embodiment, a wear-resistant bushing can be added to the inner wall of the positioning sleeve to extend its service life. The clearance between the limiting hole and the positioning rod is controlled within the range of 1-3mm to ensure positioning accuracy and facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0026] This technical solution effectively solves the swaying problem caused by subsequent adsorption of the hood through mechanical limiting. Specifically, when the hood is lifted by a cantilever crane, the positioning rod inserts into the limiting hole at the edge of the hood to form a rigid constraint, thereby eliminating lateral displacement. Compared with the method of simply relying on slings for fixation, this structure significantly improves the positioning stability of the hood, avoids displacement caused by wind or inertia, and ensures the docking accuracy of the steam recovery system. At the same time, the plug-in design facilitates quick assembly and disassembly without affecting the normal opening operation of the gelatinization pot.

[0027] Furthermore, this application proposes that the liquid collection assembly includes several annularly distributed guide tubes inside the hood, each guide tube including a lower collection tank. The collection tank is fitted with an inverted stainless steel angle iron, primarily used to collect condensate from the lower surface of the hood and drain it to the edge of the hood, where it falls into the water seal trough at the upper edge of the gelatinization pot, preventing the liquid from falling into the grate container. The upper part of the collection tank is fixed to the hood via a connector, the middle of which is connected to an adsorption conduit with several adsorption holes on both sides. Negative pressure adsorption through the adsorption conduit and adsorption holes moves the condensate from the bottom of the hood into the collection tank, ensuring that all condensate at the bottom of the hood is discharged.

[0028] Furthermore, this application proposes that the end of the adsorption conduit extends downward and is connected to a ring tube fixed to the inner edge of the casing. The ring tube is connected to the adsorption tube at an angle via an inclined tube. The inclined tube is connected to the adsorption tube, and negative pressure is achieved in the inclined tube through the siphon principle, thereby generating negative pressure in the connected ring tube and each adsorption conduit, ensuring negative pressure operation of the entire liquid collection assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the lower edge of the cover has a pair of limiting holes that match the positioning rod.

[0030] Specifically, the shape and size of the limiting hole are adapted to the shape of the positioning rod, allowing the positioning rod to be precisely inserted into the limiting hole. The limiting hole can be designed as a circle, square, or other polygonal structure, with a circular hole being more conducive to the smooth insertion and centering of the positioning rod. The limiting holes are symmetrically arranged on the edge of the cover, corresponding to the positioning sleeve on the side of the cantilever crane.

[0031] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the water tank is equipped with a longitudinally arranged heating coil, with the outlet of the heating coil being higher than the water level in the tank.

[0032] Specifically, the heating coil is arranged longitudinally throughout the interior of the water tank, and its body can be made of heat-conducting materials such as copper or stainless steel. As a preferred embodiment, the heating coil is arranged in a spiral or serpentine bend to increase the heat exchange area. The outlet of the heating coil is fixed to the upper part of the side wall of the water tank by a bracket, ensuring that the outlet is always above the highest working liquid level in the tank. This prevents liquid backflow into the heating coil, and utilizes the gravity flow characteristic of steam condensate to automatically drain the condensate. For example, a one-way valve can be installed at the end of the heating coil to further prevent liquid backflow.

[0033] This technical solution indirectly heats the water in a water tank by installing a high-level outlet heating coil within the tank, allowing waste steam from the boiler to condense and release heat within the coil. The longitudinally arranged coil structure fully utilizes the vertical space of the tank, improving heat exchange efficiency; while the design of the outlet being higher than the liquid level ensures smooth discharge of condensate and prevents backflow of water from the tank into the steam system. Compared to existing technologies, this structure effectively solves the technical problems of condensate discharge and tank backflow during waste heat recovery, achieving cascaded energy utilization.

[0034] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the water tank supplies water to the steam boiler via a water supply pump connected to a side pipe.

[0035] Specifically, side-mounted piping connection refers to installing a piping interface on the side of the water tank, which connects to the inlet of the water supply pump via a pipe. The water supply pump can be a common type such as a centrifugal pump or a plunger pump, with its power selected based on the water consumption requirements of the steam boiler. As a preferred implementation, flanges or quick couplings can be installed at the piping connection for easy disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, a filter can be added to the piping to prevent impurities from entering the water supply system. The outlet of the water supply pump is connected to the inlet of the steam boiler via a pipe, thus forming a complete water circulation path.

[0036] This technical solution achieves a continuous and stable water supply to the steam boiler by setting up an independent water supply system. The side-mounted piping connection facilitates equipment layout and maintenance, while the water pump configuration ensures the stability of water pressure and flow. Compared with existing technologies, this solution solves the problem of unstable water supply from the steam boiler in traditional gelatinization devices, avoiding steam pressure fluctuations caused by insufficient water supply, thus ensuring the stability of steam supply during the gelatinization process. Specifically, a stable water supply allows the steam boiler to continuously generate steam at the required pressure, which in turn provides uniform heat input to the gelatinization pot through the steam supply pipe and steam exhaust pipe, promoting the thorough gelatinization of the grain raw materials.

[0037] Furthermore, this application proposes installing control valves at the inlet and outlet of the adsorption pipe, steam supply pipe, and water supply pump. The control valves can be solenoid valves, pneumatic valves, or manual valves. Solenoid valves enable remote automated control, pneumatic valves are suitable for applications requiring rapid response, and manual valves facilitate on-site adjustment. Specifically, the control valves can be butterfly valves, ball valves, or gate valves. Butterfly valves offer a wide flow adjustment range, ball valves provide complete sealing, and gate valves are suitable for applications requiring precise flow regulation. As a preferred embodiment, the control valves can be equipped with a flow sensor and linked to a PLC controller to achieve closed-loop control of the steam flow.

[0038] This technical solution achieves precise regulation of steam flow direction and flow rate through control valves. During the gelatinization process, when it is necessary to stop the steam supply, the control valve on the steam supply pipe can be immediately closed; when it is necessary to collect steam, the control valve on the adsorption pipe can be opened and the steam supply pipe valve closed. This solves the problem of steam waste caused by open operation in existing gelatinization devices, and also avoids the situation where steam diffuses and affects the operator's visibility when multiple gelatinization devices are operating simultaneously. Compared with existing technologies, this solution retains the open operation characteristics required for the gelatinization process, while effectively recovering and utilizing steam resources, thus improving energy efficiency.
