Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beer fermentation technology, specifically relating to a high-efficiency carbon dioxide recovery device for beer fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] Beer fermentation produces a large amount of carbon dioxide, releasing approximately 15-20 kg of CO2 per kiloliter of beer produced. Carbon dioxide is a crucial component of beer, comprising about 0.5% of the finished product. It plays a vital role in beer's foam properties and sterilization, is an important component of beer flavor compounds, and effectively improves beer quality, promotes maturation, increases its preservative and antioxidant capabilities, and enhances its overall quality. For breweries, effectively recycling and utilizing high-purity carbon dioxide is beneficial for improving beer freshness, extending shelf life, enhancing quality, and reducing production costs.

[0003] In actual production scenarios, the specifications of fermentation tanks and the layout of exhaust pipes vary among different breweries. Even within the same brewery, the installation location of fermentation equipment and the routing of exhaust pipes may change at different production stages. When a fixed-height carbon dioxide recovery device is connected to an exhaust pipe containing impurities in the carbon dioxide emitted during beer fermentation, effective connection often fails due to a mismatch in height dimensions.

[0004] Faced with the challenge of insufficient height, operators currently often resort to temporarily cutting a pipe of suitable length to make the connection based on the error dimensions. This remedial measure has many drawbacks: it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also involves a cumbersome and complex process, and carries potential risks such as difficulty in controlling the pipe cutting precision and poor sealing at the temporary splice. This makes the overall docking process extremely inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency carbon dioxide recovery device for beer fermentation, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient height. Currently, operators often resort to temporarily cutting a pipe of suitable length to supplement the connection based on the error dimensions. This remedial measure has many drawbacks: it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, the operation process is cumbersome and complex, and there are potential risks such as difficulty in controlling the pipe cutting accuracy and poor sealing at the temporary splice. This makes the overall connection process extremely inconvenient.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency carbon dioxide recovery device for beer fermentation, comprising a collection tank, a sprayer installed on the top of the collection tank, the bottom outlet of the collection tank connected to a connecting pipe, the other end of the connecting pipe connected to one end of a cleaner, and a fixing ring welded to the outer wall of the collection tank.

[0007] Two connecting rods are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the fixing ring. The bottom of the connecting rods is welded to the surface of the horizontal plate. One side of the horizontal plate is in contact with the outer wall of one side of the bracket. Two bottom rods are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the horizontal plate. The horizontal plate is fitted and welded to the outer wall of the collection tank near the bottom.

[0008] In order to enable the sliding plate to be lifted upward along the inclined surface of the sliding plate when the movable block moves, as a high-efficiency carbon dioxide recovery device for beer fermentation according to this utility model, preferably, a sliding plate is welded between the two bottom rods, the bottom of the sliding plate is slidably connected to the surface of the movable block, and one side of the movable block is connected to the telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod.

[0009] A support rod is welded to the bottom of the pneumatic push rod, and a ball is movably fitted into the bottom of the support rod, with the bottom of the ball in contact with the ground.

[0010] In order to reduce the friction between the sliding plate and the moving block, as a high-efficiency carbon dioxide recovery device for beer fermentation according to this utility model, preferably, a groove is provided at the center end of the moving block, a limiting block is welded on the outer wall of the moving block on both sides of the groove, two guide strips are symmetrically welded on the inclined surface of the moving block, and a collection plate is welded on the inclined surface of the moving block at the bottom of the guide strips.

[0011] The collecting plate has a U-shaped opening at one end, and the U-shaped opening of the collecting plate is opposite to the bottom of the guide strip.

[0012] As a high-efficiency carbon dioxide recovery device for beer fermentation according to the present invention, preferably, a beveled surface is cut on the outer wall of one side of the sliding plate, and two guide grooves are symmetrically opened on the beveled surface. The beveled surface is parallel to the back of the movable block, and each beveled surface is slidably connected to a guide bar.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] When there is a height error between the connection pipe on one side of the collection tank and the interface of the carbon dioxide emission pipe during beer fermentation, the pneumatic pusher is activated. The telescopic end of the pneumatic pusher will push the movable block to one side. As the movable block moves, it will push the sliding plate upward along the trajectory of the inclined surface of the movable block along the inclined surface of the sliding plate.

[0015] When the sliding plate moves upward, it causes the bottom rod to move upward as well. This bottom rod, through the cross plate, connecting rod, and fixing ring, moves the collection tank upward, gradually aligning the connecting pipe at one end of the collection tank with the interface of the carbon dioxide emission pipe during beer fermentation. This makes the connection between the collection tank and the carbon dioxide emission pipe during beer fermentation more flexible and convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5The present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency carbon dioxide recovery device for beer fermentation, including a collection tank 1, a sprayer 2 installed on the top of the collection tank 1, and four telescopic adjustable support legs installed at the bottom of the collection tank 1. During use, the height of the four support legs can be adjusted to match the height of the collection tank 1.

[0025] The bottom outlet of the collection tank 1 is connected to the connecting pipe 3, and the other end of the connecting pipe 3 is connected to one end of the impurity remover 4. A fixing ring 5 is welded on the outer wall of the collection tank 1.

[0026] In operation, the connecting pipe on one side of the collection tank 1 is connected to the carbon dioxide emission pipe containing impurities during beer fermentation. Then, the interface at one end of the sprayer 2 is connected to the supply port of the carbon dioxide absorbent. When carbon dioxide from beer fermentation enters the collection tank 1, the spraying section of the sprayer 2 inside the collection tank 1 sprays out the carbon dioxide absorbent to react with the carbon dioxide containing impurities inside the collection tank 1. The reacted carbon dioxide then enters the impurity remover 4 through the connecting pipe 3 for impurity removal. The purified carbon dioxide is discharged through one end of the impurity remover 4 and collected, thereby improving the carbon dioxide recovery efficiency. For the specific principle of this part, please refer to the carbon dioxide collection and recovery device disclosed in CN222855033U.

[0027] Two connecting rods 6 are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the fixing ring 5. The bottom of the connecting rods 6 is welded to the surface of the horizontal plate 7. One side of the horizontal plate 7 interacts with the outer wall of one side of the bracket 8. Two bottom rods 71 ​​are symmetrically welded to the bottom of the horizontal plate 7. The horizontal plate 7 is fitted and welded to the outer wall of the collection tank 1 near the bottom.

[0028] The bracket 8 is made of high-hardness metal and is fixed to the ground where the collection tank 1 is placed during use. When the pneumatic push rod 74 pushes the sliding plate 72 to one side, the sliding plate 72 will apply a lateral thrust to the horizontal plate 7 through the adjacent components. At this time, the bracket 8 will prevent the horizontal plate 7 from moving to one side, thus forming a positioning structure for the horizontal plate 7.

[0029] Preferably, a sliding plate 72 is welded between the two base rods 71, the bottom of the sliding plate 72 is slidably connected to the surface of the movable block 73, and one side of the movable block 73 is connected to the telescopic end of the pneumatic push rod 74.

[0030] A support rod 75 is welded to the bottom of the pneumatic push rod 74. A ball is movably fitted into the bottom of the support rod 75, and the bottom of the ball is in contact with the ground.

[0031] In actual use, when the movable block 73 moves, it will drive the support rod 75 to move. When the support rod 75 moves, it will roll on the ground through the ball at the bottom, which can improve the stability of the movable block 73 when it moves.

[0032] Preferably, a groove 731 is provided at the center end of the movable block 73. The groove 731 provides space for the installation of the connecting pipe 3, thereby ensuring the normal use of the connecting pipe 3.

[0033] A limiting block 732 is welded to the outer wall of the movable block 73 on both sides of the groove 731. Two guide bars 733 are symmetrically welded to the inclined surface of the movable block 73. A collection plate 734 is welded to the inclined surface of the movable block 73 at the bottom of the guide bar 73.

[0034] When the movable block 73 moves, it will drive the guide bar 733 to move. When the guide bar 733 moves, it will slide along the inner wall of the guide groove 722. In this way, the inclined surface of the movable block 73 will gradually push and lift the sliding plate 72 upward.

[0035] The collecting plate 734 has a U-shaped opening at one end, and the U-shaped opening of the collecting plate 734 is opposite to the bottom of the guide strip 733.

[0036] In practical use, lubricating oil is applied to the surface of the guide bar 733 to improve the smoothness of the sliding plate 72 sliding on the guide bar 733. Excess lubricating oil will fall along the inclined surface of the movable block 73 into the collection plate 734, thus preventing it from falling directly to the ground.

[0037] Preferably, a beveled surface 721 is cut on the outer wall of one side of the sliding plate 72. Two guide grooves 722 are symmetrically opened on the beveled surface 721. The beveled surface 721 is parallel to the back of the movable block 73. Each beveled surface 721 is slidably connected to a guide bar 733.

[0038] In practical use, on a beer fermentation production line, when there is a height deviation between the connecting pipe and the carbon dioxide emission pipe interface on one side of the collection tank 1, the pneumatic push rod 74, pneumatically installed on one side of the equipment, applies a stable and strong thrust to the movable block 73 from its telescopic end. Driven by the pneumatic push rod 74, the movable block 73 slides smoothly to the side along a preset track.

[0039] When the movable block 73 moves, its top inclined surface and the bottom inclined surface 721 of the sliding plate 72 form a wedge-shaped compression and lifting structure. As the movable block 73 moves laterally, the inclined surface 721 of the sliding plate 72 moves upward along the inclined trajectory of the movable block 73.

[0040] The vertical displacement of the sliding plate 72 is quickly transmitted to the bottom rod 71 connected to it, which in turn lifts the horizontal plate 7 further upward. Driven by the horizontal plate 7, the connecting rod 6 and the fixing ring 5 move upward synchronously. Finally, the collection tank 1 rises slowly under the action of this structure, and the height difference between the connecting pipe and the carbon dioxide emission pipe interface at one end gradually decreases.

[0041] Once the connecting pipe of the collection tank 1 is precisely aligned with the carbon dioxide emission pipe during beer fermentation, the pneumatic push rod 74 is closed, thus successfully completing the connection between the connecting pipe of the collection tank 1 and the carbon dioxide emission pipe during beer fermentation.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
