Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of winemaking equipment technology, and in particular to an aeration winemaking device. Background Technology
[0002] In the beer industry, wort aeration is crucial to beer quality. Wort aeration provides the necessary oxygen for yeast reproduction and fermentation, enabling rapid yeast proliferation to initiate and maintain the normal fermentation process, ensuring its smooth progress. Appropriate oxygenation allows yeast metabolism to produce suitable amounts of flavor compounds such as esters and higher alcohols, contributing to the unique flavor of the beer. Simultaneously, sufficient oxygen promotes the yeast's absorption and utilization of nutrients in the wort, resulting in more thorough fermentation and improved beer taste and quality. Therefore, for beers that require fermentation, the proper mixing of oxygen and wort is particularly important. Utility Model Content

However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0029] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.
[0030] See Figure 1 As shown, the aerated brewing apparatus according to this application includes a brewing raw material conveying section, a gas conveying section, and a gas-liquid mixing section. The brewing raw material conveying section includes a slurry conveying pipe 11, the gas conveying section includes a gas conveying pipe 21, and the gas-liquid mixing section includes a mixing pipe 31. The liquid outlet 110 of the slurry conveying pipe 11 and the gas outlet 210 of the gas conveying pipe 21 are both connected to the gas-liquid inlet of the mixing pipe 31. Thus, brewing raw materials (e.g., wort in beer production) flow along the slurry conveying pipe 11 into the mixing pipe 31, and gases (e.g., sterile air or oxygen) for reacting with the brewing raw materials flow along the gas conveying pipe 21 into the mixing pipe 31, ultimately mixing the brewing raw materials and gases in the mixing pipe 31, causing the brewing raw materials to ferment and produce brewing liquid.
[0031] The first regulating valve 22 is installed in the gas transmission pipeline 21. By adjusting the opening of the first regulating valve 22, the flow state of the gas passing through the first regulating valve 22 during the gas transmission pipeline 21 can be controlled. It should be further noted that since the gas transmission pipeline 21 is connected to the mixing pipeline 31, adjusting the opening of the first regulating valve 22 can adjust the state of the gas delivered from the gas transmission pipeline 21 to the mixing pipeline 31. For example, by adjusting the opening of the first regulating valve 22, parameters such as the flow rate of the gas flowing into the mixing pipeline 31 can be adjusted.
[0032] The second regulating valve 33 is installed in the mixing pipeline 31. By adjusting the opening of the second regulating valve 33, the flow state of the gas-liquid mixture discharged from the gas-liquid outlet of the mixing pipeline 31 is controlled. It should be noted that the gas-liquid mixture can be understood as a mixture of gas and brewing raw materials. In addition, the first pressure monitor 32 is installed in the mixing pipeline 31 to monitor the pressure value within the mixing pipeline 31.
[0033] For example, brewing raw materials (such as wort) flow along the slurry delivery pipe 11 and enter the mixing pipe 31 through the gas-liquid inlet. Simultaneously, gas flows along the gas delivery pipe 21 and enters the mixing pipe 31 through the gas-liquid inlet. Within the mixing pipe 31, the brewing raw materials and gas mix through physical contact, forming a gas-liquid mixture. The first pressure monitor 32 can collect pressure data within the mixing pipe 31 in real time, providing feedback for adjusting the first regulating valve 22 and / or the second regulating valve 33. For instance, when the pressure in the mixing pipe 31 is lower than a set threshold, the opening of the second regulating valve 33 can be reduced to increase the gas-liquid outlet resistance, thereby stabilizing the pipe pressure.
[0034] Therefore, the aerated winemaking apparatus of this application, based on the pressure information collected by the first pressure monitor 32 regarding the mixing pipeline 31, and with the coordinated operation of the first regulating valve 22 and the second regulating valve 33, can regulate the pressure within the mixing pipeline 31, thereby achieving regulation and control of the gas flow rate, the flow rate of the winemaking raw materials, and the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture. This facilitates thorough mixing of the air in the gas-liquid mixture with the winemaking raw materials. Specifically, the first regulating valve 22 precisely regulates the flow rate of gas flowing from the gas delivery pipe 21 into the mixing pipeline 31, and the second regulating valve 33 controls the flow state of the gas-liquid mixture discharged from the gas-liquid outlet. This allows for effective control of the gas flow rate, the flow rate of the winemaking raw materials, and the flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture in the aerated winemaking apparatus of this application. Thus, using the aerated winemaking apparatus of this application, during the winemaking process, allows for precise adjustment of the oxygenation flow rate according to different wine varieties and different oxygenation processes, ensuring flexible and refined wine production, and providing an effective solution for improving the consistency of wine product quality.
[0035] It should be noted that, in one embodiment of this application, the use of an aerated brewing device for brewing beer is used as an example for illustration, but this application is not limited to this, and the aerated brewing device can also be applied to brew other types of alcohol.
[0036] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the gas delivery unit may further include a second pressure monitor 23. The second pressure monitor 23 is disposed along the path of the gas delivery pipeline 21 and along the fluid flow direction of the gas delivery pipeline 21, with its installation position located downstream of the first regulating valve 22. Specifically, the first regulating valve 22 is used to adjust the flow cross-sectional area of the gas delivery pipeline 21 to control the gas flow rate, while the second pressure monitor 23 directly monitors the gas pressure after adjustment by the first regulating valve 22, thereby accurately feeding back the gas state in the downstream section of the gas delivery pipeline 21.
[0037] For example, when the opening of the first regulating valve 22 decreases, the flow cross-sectional area of the gas pipeline 21 shrinks, the gas velocity decreases, and the gas pressure on the downstream side of the gas pipeline 21 (i.e., where the second pressure monitor 23 is located) decreases accordingly. At this time, the second pressure monitor 23 collects this pressure change data in real time and transmits it to the controller. Based on the deviation between the preset target value and the actual monitored value, the controller dynamically adjusts the opening of the first regulating valve 22 to form a closed-loop control, ensuring that the gas velocity and pressure delivered from the gas pipeline 21 to the mixing pipeline 31 remain stable within the process requirements range.
[0038] Furthermore, the second pressure monitor 23 works in conjunction with the first pressure monitor 32 (located in the mixing pipeline 31) to comprehensively assess the gas input status and the pressure balance within the mixing pipeline 31. For example, if the pressure in the mixing pipeline 31 rises abnormally, while the second pressure monitor 23 shows that the downstream pressure of the gas pipeline 21 is normal, it can be determined that the pressure fluctuation originates from changes in the flow rate of the brewing raw materials or the mixing ratio, and then targeted adjustments can be made by regulating the second regulating valve 33 (which controls the outlet of the mixing pipeline 31).
[0039] By setting up a second pressure monitor 23, precise monitoring and control of the gas pressure downstream of the gas pipeline 21 is achieved. Combined with the dynamic adjustment capability of the first regulating valve 22, the gas input parameters can be optimized more precisely, avoiding uneven gas filling caused by upstream pressure fluctuations or valve adjustment lag. This further improves the stability and adaptability of the gas-filled brewing device, making it particularly suitable for wine production processes with high requirements for gas flow accuracy.
[0040] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the gas delivery unit may further include a mass flow meter 24. The mass flow meter 24 is installed along the path of the gas delivery pipeline 21 and in the direction of fluid flow in the gas delivery pipeline 21, located upstream of the first regulating valve 22. Specifically, the mass flow meter 24 can be used to measure the raw gas mass flow rate in the gas delivery pipeline 21 in real time before the intervention of the first regulating valve 22, and transmit the data to a controller (such as a PLC) to provide basic parameters for closed-loop control of the gas flow rate.
[0041] For example, during operation, the mass flow meter 24 continuously monitors the gas mass flow rate (in kg / h) upstream of the gas pipeline 21. The control system dynamically adjusts the opening of the first regulating valve 22 based on the deviation between the preset target flow rate and the actual measured value. When the gas flow rate is detected to be lower than the set value, the control system can increase the opening of the first regulating valve 22 to increase the flow cross-sectional area, thereby increasing the gas velocity; conversely, if the flow rate exceeds the set range, the opening is reduced to limit the gas input.
[0042] Furthermore, the mass flow meter 24 and the second pressure monitor 23 (located downstream of the first regulating valve 22) form a collaborative monitoring mechanism. The mass flow meter 24 provides accurate data on the upstream gas flow rate, while the second pressure monitor 23 provides feedback on changes in downstream gas pressure. Together, they can comprehensively analyze the gas delivery status. For example, if the mass flow meter 24 shows a stable flow rate, but the second pressure monitor 23 detects a drop in downstream pressure, it may indicate a leak in the gas pipeline 21 or abnormal resistance in the mixing pipeline 31. The system can then trigger an alarm or automatically adjust the second regulating valve 33 to balance the pressure.
[0043] Therefore, the aerated brewing apparatus according to this application is equipped with a mass flow meter 24, enabling direct measurement and precise control of the gas input. Combined with downstream pressure monitoring and the dynamic response of the first regulating valve 22, the system can quickly correct flow deviations, avoiding aeration instability caused by gas source pressure fluctuations or valve adjustment lag. Furthermore, the upstream installation position of the mass flow meter 24 reduces interference from the regulating valve's operation on flow measurement, ensuring the reliability of data acquisition. This improvement significantly enhances the accuracy of gas flow control, making it particularly suitable for brewing processes with stringent requirements for aeration uniformity (such as craft beer or flavored beverages), providing more efficient technical support for flexible production.
[0044] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the raw material conveying unit may further include a concentration detector 12, which is disposed in the conveying pipe 11 to monitor the concentration parameters of the raw materials in the conveying pipe 11. The raw material conveying unit may further include an electromagnetic flow meter 13, which is disposed in the conveying pipe 11 and is used to monitor the flow rate (in KL / h) of the raw materials in the conveying pipe 11.
[0045] For example, during the wort delivery process, the concentration detector 12 can measure its Pareto degree (e.g., 12°P or 14°P) in real time and upload the data to the control system. The electromagnetic flowmeter 13 is installed on the slurry delivery pipeline 11 and measures the instantaneous flow rate of the raw material (e.g., in m³ / h or KL / h) through the principle of electromagnetic induction, and transmits the flow rate signal to the controller for calculation of the ratio with the gas flow rate.
[0046] For example, during operation, when the concentration detector 12 detects an increase in wort concentration (e.g., from 12°P to 14°P), the control system automatically increases the opening of the first regulating valve 22 according to the preset "concentration-oxygenation" mapping relationship to increase the gas input and ensure that the dissolved oxygen content is precisely matched with the wort concentration. Simultaneously, if the electromagnetic flowmeter 13 detects a decrease in wort flow rate due to pump fluctuations (e.g., from 80 KL / h to 70 KL / h), the controller will synchronously decrease the opening of the first regulating valve 22 to prevent excessive oxygenation and uneven gas-liquid mixing.
[0047] Furthermore, the concentration detector 12, the electromagnetic flowmeter 13, and the second pressure monitor 23 of the gas delivery section (located downstream of the first regulating valve 22) form a collaborative monitoring mechanism. For example, if the flow rate in the slurry delivery pipeline 11 is stable but the downstream pressure in the gas delivery pipeline 21 fluctuates abnormally, the system can determine that the resistance of the mixing pipeline 31 has changed, and adjust the outlet resistance of the second regulating valve 33 to balance the pressure. In addition, when the concentration detector 12 shows that the wort concentration deviates significantly from the preset range, the system can trigger an alarm or adjust the raw material supply parameters to ensure process stability.
[0048] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the aerated brewing apparatus may further include a controller, which is connected to a first pressure monitor 32, a second pressure monitor 23, a first regulating valve 22, and a second regulating valve 33. The controller is configured to acquire pressure information collected by the first pressure monitor 32 and the second pressure monitor 23, and is configured to control the operating state of the first regulating valve 22 and the second regulating valve 33 based on the pressure information. This allows for automatic adjustment of valve openings, reducing the need for manual intervention.
[0049] In addition, in some embodiments of this application, the controller can also communicate with the mass flow meter 24, the concentration detector 12, the electromagnetic flow meter 13, and the temperature monitor. This multi-parameter collaborative control mechanism automatically adjusts the valve opening, reducing the need for manual intervention. This improvement significantly enhances the uniformity of gas-liquid mixing and process consistency, and is particularly suitable for flexible brewing production with multiple varieties and small batches (such as craft beer or flavored beverages), providing reliable technical support for the flavor stability and quality improvement of alcoholic beverages.
[0050] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the gas delivery unit may further include a buffer gas tank 25, which is disposed in the gas delivery pipeline 21. For example, in one embodiment of this application, the buffer gas tank 25 is disposed along the path of the gas delivery pipeline 21, specifically between the gas source (such as an air compressor or oxygen supply device) and the first regulating valve 22, for storing and stabilizing the gas pressure within the gas delivery pipeline 21, reducing the impact of gas source fluctuations on the downstream oxygenation process.
[0051] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the gas delivery unit may further include a check valve 26, which is disposed in the gas delivery pipeline 21. The check valve 26 is configured to restrict fluid from flowing into the gas delivery pipeline 21 from the slurry pipeline 11 and / or the mixing pipeline 31, thereby restricting the reverse flow of fluid (such as liquid or gas) into the gas delivery pipeline 21, thereby avoiding contamination or equipment damage caused by backflow of gas-liquid mixture.
[0052] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the mixing pipeline 31 may include a mixing reactor 311, an input pipe 312, and an output pipe 313. One end of the input pipe 312 is connected in parallel to the liquid outlet 110 and the gas outlet 210, and the other end of the input pipe 312 is connected to the feed inlet of the mixing reactor 311. One end of the output pipe 313 is connected to the discharge outlet of the mixing reactor 311, and the other end of the output pipe 313 is the gas-liquid outlet of the mixing pipeline 31. By connecting the input pipe 312 and the output pipe 313 before and after the mixing reactor 311, the brewing raw materials and gas can achieve sufficient contact and reaction within the mixing reactor 311, while ensuring that the flow path of the gas-liquid mixture is controllable, preventing insufficiently mixed materials from directly entering subsequent processes. Furthermore, both the first pressure monitor 32 and the second regulating valve 33 are located in the output pipe 313. This allows the first pressure monitor 32 to be installed in the middle section of the output pipe 313 or near the outlet of the mixing reactor 311, for real-time collection of pressure data of the mixing reactor 311 and the output pipe 313 (when the mixing reactor 311 and the output pipe 313 are in a connected state). The second regulating valve 33 is located at the end of the output pipe 313 (i.e., at the gas-liquid outlet). By adjusting the opening of the second regulating valve 33, the flow cross-sectional area of the gas-liquid outlet is controlled, thereby adjusting the pipeline pressure or discharge flow rate.
[0053] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the mixing pipeline 31 includes a mixing reactor 311, an input pipeline 312, and an output pipeline 313. One end of the input pipeline 312 is connected in parallel to the liquid outlet 110 of the slurry conveying pipeline 11 and the gas outlet 210 of the gas conveying pipeline 21, and the other end is connected to the feed inlet of the mixing reactor 311. One end of the output pipeline 313 is connected to the discharge outlet of the mixing reactor 311, and the other end is the gas-liquid outlet of the mixing pipeline 31. The first pressure monitor 32 and the second regulating valve 33 are both installed on the output pipeline 313, and are used to monitor the outlet pressure of the mixing pipeline 31 and regulate the discharge state of the gas-liquid mixture, respectively.
[0054] For example, in some embodiments of this application, the mixing reactor 311 may be a static mixer with internal baffles, spiral blades, or a porous structure to enhance the contact area and mixing uniformity between the gas and the brewing raw materials. The inlet pipe 312 is made of stainless steel or food-grade PVC, and its diameter matches that of the slurry pipe 11 and the gas pipe 21 to ensure smooth flow of the gas-liquid two-phase flow into the mixing reactor 311. The length and diameter of the outlet pipe 313 are designed according to process requirements, and its outlet end is connected to the fermentation tank or the next process equipment via a flange or quick-connect fitting.
[0055] See Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the gas-filled brewing apparatus may further include a steam delivery unit connected to the gas delivery pipe 21. The steam delivery unit is used to deliver high-temperature steam into the gas delivery pipe 21, thereby using the high-temperature steam to sterilize the gas delivery pipe 21. The gas delivery pipe 21 is also provided with an exhaust port 211, which is arranged adjacent to the outlet 210 along the fluid flow direction of the gas delivery pipe 21. In this way, the high-temperature steam flows along the gas delivery pipe 21 toward the outlet 210, so that the steam can fully sterilize the gas delivery pipe 21. When the exhaust port 211 is open, the steam is discharged from the gas delivery pipe 21 through the exhaust port 211. Then, during the process of transporting sterile gas using the gas delivery pipe 21, the exhaust port 211 is closed to ensure that sterile gas enters the mixing pipeline 31 through the outlet 210.
[0056] For example, see Figure 1 As shown, the steam conveying unit may include a steam conveying pipe 41 and a steam filter 42. One end of the steam conveying pipe 41 is connected to a device for generating high-temperature steam, and the other end of the steam conveying pipe 41 is connected to a gas conveying pipe 21, thereby conveying the generated high-temperature steam from the steam conveying pipe 41 to the gas conveying pipe 21. Furthermore, the steam filter 42 is disposed on the steam conveying pipe 41, so that the steam filter 42 filters the steam as it flows along the steam conveying pipe 41 and passes through the steam filter 42.
[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0058] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
