[0002] Beer production involves processing raw materials such as malt into beer through crushing, saccharification, filtration, boiling, and fermentation. Saccharification is a crucial step, where malt and water are mixed in a mashing vessel, heated, and stirred to convert starch into fermentable sugars. Existing mashing vessels are typically containers with heating and stirring functions, used to complete the saccharification reaction. Their design must meet basic production requirements such as uniform mixing and controllable temperature, making them one of the core pieces of equipment in beer brewing for achieving the saccharification process.

[0003] During the design process of this utility model, the following problems were discovered in the existing technology:

[0004] Existing saccharification pots have hard-to-reach corners on their inner walls during cleaning, where material residue is easily left behind and difficult to remove. Furthermore, the poor sealing of the saccharification pots makes them prone to leakage, affecting the saccharification effect. At the same time, the stirring device cannot scrape off the adhering substances on the inner wall of the saccharification pot, making deep cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a saccharification pot that is easy to clean internally, including a saccharification pot body 1, a sealing cover 2 that is snapped into the top opening of the saccharification pot body 1, a stirring mechanism 3 that is vertically inserted through the middle of the top of the sealing cover 2, a water storage tank 4 that is provided on the rear side of the top of the sealing cover 2, a spraying mechanism 5 that is horizontally inserted through the left and right sides of the water storage tank 4, a rotating mechanism 6 that is sleeved on the top outer wall of the spraying mechanism 5, a discharge pipe 7 that is provided at the bottom of the saccharification pot body 1, a support frame 8 that is sleeved on the bottom outer wall of the saccharification pot body 1, and a lifting mechanism 9 that is screwed to the top left and right sides of the support frame 8.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the sealing cover 2 is provided with an insert plate 201, and the outer wall of the insert plate 201 is covered with a sealing adhesive layer.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a slot 101 is provided at the top of the saccharification pot body 1. The slot 101 and the insert plate 201 are interlocked. Several electric heating tubes 102 are provided in the inner wall interlayer of the saccharification pot body 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the stirring mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 301, the output end of the drive motor 301 is connected to a stirring shaft 302, a plurality of stirring rods 303 are sleeved on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 302, and a scraper 304 is provided at the tail end of the plurality of stirring rods 303. A brush bristle 305 is fitted on the side of the scraper 304 near the inner wall of the saccharification pot 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the spraying mechanism 5 includes two water pumping pipes 501. The water pumping ends of the two water pumping pipes 501 are respectively transversely penetrating the left and right sides of the water storage tank 4. The water pumps 502 are inserted into the water outlet ends of the two water pumps 501. The water supply pipes 503 are inserted into the water outlet ends of the two water pumps 502. The bottom ends of the two water supply pipes 503 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the spray pipe 504. The water outlet end of the spray pipe 504 is provided with a nozzle 505. The nozzle 505 faces the inner wall of the saccharification pot 1 at an angle.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the rotating mechanism 6 includes a driven gear 601, which is sleeved on the top outer wall of the water spray pipe 504. A driving gear 602 meshes with one side of the driven gear 601. A rotating shaft 603 is inserted inside the driving gear 602, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 603 is inserted into the output end of the rotating motor 604.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 9 includes two electric telescopic rods 901. The bottom ends of the two electric telescopic rods 901 are respectively screwed to the top left and right sides of the support frame 8. The drive ends of the two electric telescopic rods 901 are respectively screwed to the bottom of two connecting plates 902. The two connecting plates 902 are respectively located on the outer walls of the left and right sides of the sealing cover 2.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this easy-to-clean saccharification pot operates as follows:

[0029] When first using the device, the operator can first close the sealing cover 2 using the electric telescopic rods 901 on the left and right sides of the top of the support frame 8. Specifically, the electric telescopic rods 901 on the left and right sides are activated, causing their drive ends to extend upwards and push the connecting plates 902 connected to them to rise together. This causes the entire sealing cover 2 to rise through the connecting plates 902 on both sides, thereby opening the saccharification pot 1. Then, the operator can pour various raw materials into the saccharification pot 1. After that, the electric telescopic rods 901 on both sides are restarted, causing their drive ends to retract downwards and drive the connecting plates 902 on both sides and the entire sealing cover 2 to descend vertically until the insert plate 201 at the bottom of the sealing cover 2 can be vertically inserted into the slot 101 at the top of the saccharification pot 1 and lock into place. The sealing effect of the saccharification pot 1 is ensured by the sealing adhesive layer on the outer wall of the insert plate 201.

[0030] Next, the operator can start the electric heating tube 102 and the stirring mechanism 3 in the inner wall jacket of the saccharification pot 1 to heat and saccharify the various raw materials in the saccharification pot 1. By starting the drive motor 301, its output end drives the inserted stirring shaft 302 and stirring rod 303 to start rotating. During this process, the scraper 304 at the end of the stirring rod 303 will adhere to the inner wall of the saccharification pot 1 through the bristles 305 and scrape off the adhering material while stirring the material. After the saccharification is completed, the operator can open the discharge pipe 7 at the bottom of the saccharification pot 1 and discharge the material.

[0031] After the material discharge is completed, the operator can start the spraying mechanism 5 and the rotating mechanism 6 to rinse the saccharification pot 1. During this process, the two water pumps 502 in the spraying mechanism 5 are started, so that they draw water from the water storage tank 4 through the two water pipes 501 that are plugged into each other. During this process, the water is pressurized by the water pumps 502 and then transported to the spray pipes 504 through the water pipes 503 on both sides. The water is then sprayed obliquely onto the inner wall of the saccharification pot 1 through the nozzles 505 at the bottom of the spray pipes 504. At the same time, the operator can start the rotating motor 604 of the rotating mechanism 6, so that its output end drives the plugged-in rotating shaft 603 and the active motor. When gear 602 starts to rotate, the driven gear 601 meshing with the driving gear 602 will also rotate, causing the water spray pipe 504 connected to it to rotate synchronously. This allows the water sprayed from the nozzle 505 to cover the inner wall of the saccharification pot 1 in all directions for initial cleaning. During this period, the operator can simultaneously start the drive motor 301 in the stirring mechanism 3, causing its output end to drive the inserted stirring shaft 302 and stirring rod 303 to start rotating. This allows the bristles 305 on the scraper 304 at the end of the stirring rod 303 to clean the inner wall of the saccharification pot 1 in conjunction with the water flow.
