Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing auxiliary tools, specifically a self-unloading vat cage. Background Technology

[0002] The earthen vat for brewing is the core fermentation container for traditional Chinese baijiu (especially light aroma and old baijiu aroma types). Through physical isolation and natural temperature conduction, it ensures the purity and flavor stability of the mash. The earthen vat is a round ceramic vat with a standard depth of 1.2 meters and a diameter of 0.8 meters. After being buried underground, the mouth of the vat is flush with the ground and arranged in a matrix.

[0003] In breweries, there are a huge number of fermentation vats. Currently, the fermentation process in these vats is mostly done manually by digging out the mash with special shovels, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and results in a heavy workload for the staff. Therefore, we propose a self-unloading vat-loading cage. Utility Model Content

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a self-unloading cage for loading into a cylinder includes a lifting assembly 1 having an upper annular ring 101. Multiple annular cage chains 2 are welded to the bottom of the upper annular ring 101. A lower annular ring 3 is welded to the bottom end of the multiple cage chains 2. A fixing rod 4 is fixed to one side of the bottom of the lower annular ring 3. An inner rotating ring 6 is provided on the inner side of the lower annular ring 3. Two collars 5 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom end of the inner rotating ring 6. The collars 5 are rotated and sleeved on the outer side of the lower annular ring 3. A circular perforated plate 7 is fixed to the top of the inner rotating ring 6.

[0027] The area formed by the circular perforated plate 7, multiple hanging cage chains 2, and the upper ring 101 is used to provide a space for the mash to be hoisted and placed.

[0028] A locking component 8 is provided on the side of the lower ring 3 away from the fixed rod 4. The locking component 8 is used to realize the locking and unlocking operation of the inner flip ring 6 in the horizontal state.

[0029] The hoisting assembly 1 also includes a connecting lug 102, a hoisting chain 103, and a central connecting ring 104;

[0030] There are four connecting ears 102. The four connecting ears 102 are evenly distributed in a ring and fixed to the top of the upper ring 101. One end of the hanging chain 103 is sleeved with the connecting ear 102, and the other end of the four hanging chains 103 is sleeved with the central connecting ring 104.

[0031] Four lifting chains 103 are used to provide the hooking position for the crane hook;

[0032] The locking assembly 8 includes a nut 801, a stud 802, a handle 803, and a locking rod 804;

[0033] Nut 801 is welded and fixed to the outer side of the lower annular ring 3 away from the fixing rod 4, and stud 802 is threaded to nut 801 and protrudes from the upper and lower ends of nut 801;

[0034] The handle 803 and the locking rod 804 are respectively fixed to the upper and lower ends of the stud 802. The locking rod 804 is rotated to fit against the lower surface of the inner flip ring 6, which is used to provide support for the inner flip ring 6 in the horizontal state.

[0035] The inner flip ring 6 is flipped open by rotating the locking rod 804 away from the bottom of the inner flip ring 6.

[0036] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the diameter of the upper annular ring 101 can be set to 670mm, the diameter of the lower annular ring 3 can be set to 480mm, and the height between the upper annular ring 101 and the lower annular ring 3 can be set between 1.04m and 1.12m to accommodate conventional floor cylinders on the market.

[0037] When using this cylinder loading cage, a corresponding overhead crane is installed above the area where the cylinder is located for lifting and transporting the cylinder loading cage. The method of using the cylinder loading cage is as follows:

[0038] First, the entire cage is lifted and placed into the underground vat using a crane (it should be noted that at this time, the inner rotating ring 6 is in a horizontal state, the locking rod 804 is attached to the lower surface of the inner rotating ring 6 and the end of the locking rod 804 faces the center of the inner rotating ring 6, which is used to achieve stable support for the inner rotating ring 6). Then, the hook is kept in the lifting state of the chain 103, that is, the chain 103 and the cage chain 2 are kept taut. Then, the brewing raw materials are placed in the cage (that is, the area composed of multiple cage chains 2 and circular perforated plate 7). After the brewing raw materials are placed, the lifting state of the chain 103 can be released. At this time, the chain 103 naturally falls into the underground vat and covers the top of the brewing raw materials. In this way, the entire device does not affect the closing operation of the lid on the top of the underground vat.

[0039] After fermentation is complete, the chain 103 is first manually pulled up, and then the chain 103 is lifted by the crane hook, so that the cage is lifted up and separated from the vat. The fermented mash is then lifted out, which avoids manual shoveling and greatly saves labor.

[0040] Afterwards, the cage can be transferred to the bucket and then transported to the distillation workshop for further operations. Finally, when it is necessary to unload the brewing waste, the handle 803 can be turned manually. The handle 803 drives the stud 802 and the locking rod 804 to turn. The stud 802 moves downward under the action of the nut 801, causing the locking rod 804 to rotate outward and move downward at the same time, thereby releasing the support of the inner flip ring 6. At this time, the inner flip ring 6 flips downward and opens with the fixed rod 4 as the center, and the brewing waste is easily unloaded, greatly improving work efficiency. (It should be noted that the entire cage is in a suspended state when unloading.)

[0041] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 A cross reinforcing rib 9 is welded and fixed to the inner side of the inner flip ring 6, and the top of the cross reinforcing rib 9 is attached to the bottom of the circular perforated plate 7.

[0042] The hoisting components 1, cage chain 2, lower ring 3, fixing rod 4, collar 5, inner flip ring 6, circular perforated plate 7, and locking components 8 are all made of food-grade steel.

[0043] In this embodiment: the cross reinforcing rib 9 can provide support for the circular perforated plate 7. The cage device made of food-grade material can ensure food safety. At the same time, the structure of the cage chain 2 and the ring can avoid damage to the ground cylinder. The device can be reused, has a long service life and controllable cost.

[0044] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-4 The angle between the handle 803 and the locking bar 804 is slightly greater than 90 degrees. The outer ring diameter of the inner flip ring 6 is smaller than the inner ring diameter of the lower ring 3, and the lower surface of the inner flip ring 6 is flush with the lower surface of the lower ring 3.

[0045] In this embodiment: by setting the outer ring diameter of the inner flip ring 6 to be smaller than the inner ring diameter of the lower ring ring 3, space can be provided for the flipping of the inner flip ring 6. In addition, when the locking rod 804 is in contact with the inner flip ring 6 and the lower surface of the lower ring ring 3, the end of the locking rod 804 faces the center of the inner flip ring 6. At this time, the handle 803 is close to the outside of the lower ring ring 3 but does not contact or interfere with the cage chain 2.

[0046] It should also be noted that during the lifting process, a small amount of fermented mash may fall into the vat. This can be easily removed manually, as the work involved in removing such a small amount is minimal.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
