Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brewing technology, specifically relating to a device for spreading and cooling distiller's grains. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing of baijiu (Chinese white liquor), the lees need to be spread out to cool. During this cooling process, the lees undergo natural fermentation. In this process, the microorganisms in the lees produce beneficial substances through metabolism, such as enzymes and organic acids. These substances promote the saccharification and decomposition of ingredients, enhancing their texture and flavor. The cooled lees also emit a unique aroma due to volatile compounds produced during fermentation. These aromas are absorbed by the ingredients, improving their taste and flavor.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese patent with publication number CN222893148U discloses a lees spreading and cooling device. This prior art has ventilation holes on a metal spreading plate. During spreading and cooling, the lees can easily enter the ventilation holes. The spreading speed is different at different positions on the metal spreading plate. This prior art cannot adjust and control the exhaust position, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a lees drying device. This lees drying device is equipped with a mesh screen to prevent lees from entering the ventilation holes. Furthermore, the present invention includes a movable plate, which allows for adjustment of the air outlet range by moving the plate up and down, thereby enabling individual cooling and drying treatment of lees at different locations.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this distiller's grains spreading and cooling device to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A device for spreading and cooling distiller's grains is provided, including a base, a groove on the top surface of the base, a ventilation device inside the base, a movable plate hinged to one side of the top of the base, a connecting structure between the base and the movable plate, evenly distributed ventilation holes on the movable plate, a mesh screen fixedly installed on the top surface of the movable plate, several movable plates inside the groove, and a moving device inside the base for moving the movable plates up and down.

[0007] Furthermore, the ventilation device includes a fan, which is embedded in one side of the base. The fan's air inlet is connected to the outside, and the fan's air outlet is connected to the groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the air inlet end of the fan is fitted with an installation ring via a threaded structure, and a filter screen is fixedly installed on the installation ring.

[0009] Furthermore, a serpentine heat exchange tube is provided in the groove, with both ends of the heat exchange tube penetrating the base and fixedly connected.

[0010] Furthermore, the moving device includes several electric actuators, the fixed ends of which are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the groove, and the movable ends of which are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the corresponding moving plates.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection structure includes a slot, a movable groove, a rotating shaft, and a locking rod. The slot is located on the upper part of one side of the inner wall of the groove, the movable groove is located on one side of the movable plate and can be aligned, the lower end of the rotating shaft passes through the movable plate and is rotatably connected, the lower end of the rotating shaft is located in the movable groove, and the locking rod is fixedly installed on the lower outer periphery of the rotating shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly installed at the upper end of the shaft.

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

[0014] 1. This utility model illustrates a lees spreading and drying device. This utility model is applied to the spreading and drying of lees. First, the user spreads the lees flat on the top surface of a mesh screen. Second, the user opens the ventilation device, allowing outside air to enter the groove. The air then flows out along the ventilation holes and the mesh screen, coming into contact with the lees and accelerating the cooling and drying process. Third, if some areas of lees are not completely cooled and dried, the user moves a movable plate up and down using a moving device. The movable plate blocks the corresponding ventilation holes, thus preventing the remaining lees from drying. The increased exhaust volume from the blocked vent allows for faster cooling and drying of the lees at that location. After drying, the existing lees collection box is placed on one side of the base, the connecting structure is opened, and the user rotates the movable plate to allow the lees to slide into the collection box. Compared to existing technologies, this invention features a mesh screen to prevent lees from entering the vent. Furthermore, this invention includes a movable plate that allows for adjustment of the air outlet range by moving the plate up and down, enabling individual cooling and drying of lees at different locations.

[0015] 2. In the example of this utility model, a lees drying device is provided. When the fan is turned on, the fan can introduce outside air into the groove, and finally the air can be discharged through the ventilation holes and the mesh.

[0016] 3. In the example of this utility model, a lees drying device has a filter screen that can filter the air entering the fan, and the mounting ring can be unscrewed to clean and replace the filter screen.

[0017] 4. The present invention provides a method for cooling distiller's grains by connecting the two ends of a heat exchange tube to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe, respectively. This allows cold water to be introduced into the heat exchange tube, which in turn cools the air, thereby cooling the distiller's grains more quickly.

[0018] 5. The lees spreading and cooling device of this utility model can drive the moving plate to move up and down by controlling the extension and retraction of the electric push rod. The electric push rod can be controlled individually by the electric push rod controller, which is convenient to use.

[0019] 6. The present invention provides a lees spreading and drying device in which the user can rotate the shaft, and the rotation of the shaft can drive the clamping rod to move, so that the clamping rod is located in the clamping groove, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the base and the connecting plate. The connection structure is simple and easy to use.

[0020] 7. The lees spreading and drying device of this utility model provides a point of leverage for the user, making it easy to rotate the shaft. The rotating handle can drive the movable plate to rotate, making it convenient to use. Attached Figure Description
