Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brewing steamer technology, specifically relating to a brewing steamer cloth auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing process, there is a step of feeding the mash into the still. Feeding the mash into the still refers to the operation of spreading the fermented mash evenly and loosely into the still (distillation equipment). This is a key step in distillation and alcohol extraction. When feeding the mash into the still, it is necessary to ensure that the mash is evenly distributed and loosely permeable in the still, rather than being compacted or piled up, so that the steam can penetrate the mash evenly. When a steam vent appears on the surface of a certain layer of mash, mash should be quickly sprinkled at the steam vent to ensure that the steam penetrates each layer evenly.

[0003] In the process of feeding the mash into the still, manual feeding is commonly used. Workers hold long-handled wooden shovels and use them to shovel the mash and spread it evenly inside the still, covering the steam vents. Workers need to constantly shovel the mash and spread it inside the still. Workers need to frequently walk back and forth between the mash container and the still. The feeding process is quite tedious and laborious. There is no design to assist workers in manually feeding the mash into the still, which is a shortcoming.

[0004] The existing brewing steamer cloth feeding process has the problem of not having a design to assist workers in manually feeding the steamer cloth. To address this, this application proposes an auxiliary device for feeding the steamer cloth in brewing. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary device for feeding mash into a brewing still, including a position moving mechanism, comprising a track moving component and a motor-driven lifting component. The track moving component uses the principle of track movement to change the position of the mash. The motor-driven lifting component uses the principle of a motor-driven screw rotating to vertically raise and lower a nut slider, thereby changing the height of the brewing tank hopper 51. When the brewing tank hopper 51 is in a low position, it is convenient for workers to feed the mash into the brewing tank hopper 51. The support frame includes a mounting plate 3 and a cross arm 4 fixedly connected by screws. The mounting plate 3... The mounting plate 3 and the cross arm 4 are connected to the lifting slider 25 to form an integral structure. When the lifting slider 25 moves vertically upward, the mounting plate 3 and the cross arm 4 move accordingly. The mounting plate 3 and the cross arm 4 support the brewing tank hopper 51. The feeding mechanism includes the brewing tank hopper 51 and the connecting plate 52, which are fixedly connected by screws; the vibrator 53, which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 52 by screws; the stabilizing block 54, which is welded to the side of the brewing tank hopper 51; the vibration spring 55, which is installed between the stabilizing block 54 and the cross arm 4; and the material blocking screen 7, which is installed inside the brewing tank hopper 51. The brewing tank hopper 51 serves as a container for holding the fermented mash. Figure 1In this diagram, A represents the still. The mesh size of the obstructing screen 7 can be designed according to actual conditions to meet the requirements for sieving the mash. When mash needs to be fed into the still A, the vibrator 53 vibrates, causing the brewing hopper 51 and the obstructing screen 7 to vibrate. The mash in the brewing hopper 51 is sieved off the surface of the obstructing screen 7, resulting in a dispersed state. This allows the mash falling from the bottom of the brewing hopper 51 to be loosely fed into the still A, assisting workers in feeding the mash. The separator 8 installed inside the brewing hopper 51 separates the mash, preventing it from clumping together. The design facilitates the falling of the mash at a specific discharge position. Specifically, when the pull plate 6 is pulled out, the mash falls through the discharge port 61 at the pull position of the pull plate 6. The pull plate 6, which is connected to the brewing tank hopper 51, has a discharge port 61 on its surface. When the discharge port 61 of the pull plate 6 is outside the brewing tank hopper 51, the pull plate 6 blocks the discharge port 61 of the brewing tank hopper 51. When the pull plate 6 is pulled out and the discharge port 61 is inside the brewing tank hopper 51, the mash screened by the material blocking screen 7 can fall through the discharge port 61. A pull rod d is fixed to one side of the pull plate 6 by screws. The pull rod d facilitates the pulling of the pull plate 6. The length of the pull rod d can be designed according to the actual situation.

[0030] In this embodiment, the track moving assembly includes a guide rail 11, a movable slider 12 slidably connected to the guide rail 11, and a support 13 fixedly connected to the movable slider 12 by screws. Under manual operation, the movable slider 12 moves linearly along the guide rail 11, which can change the position of the motor-driven lifting assembly to facilitate fermentation at different positions in the still A. The motor-driven lifting assembly includes a fixed beam 21 of the vertical support 13, a fixedly connected motor base 22 and a reduction motor 23, a lead screw 24 and a lifting slider 25 installed inside the fixed beam 21. The reduction motor 23 and the lead screw 24 are fixedly connected by a coupling. The lead screw 24 passes through the lifting slider 25. The mounting plate 3 is fixed to the lifting slider 25 by bolts. When the reduction motor 23 is driven, the reduction motor 23 drives the lead screw 24 to rotate, and the lifting slider 25 moves along the axial direction of the lead screw 24, thereby changing the position of the mounting plate 3 for easy operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, the brewing tank hopper 51 includes an upper hopper section a, an inclined concentrating section b, and a discharging section c. The inner surface of the discharging section c of the brewing tank hopper 51 is fixed with a baffle 511 by bolts. The baffle 511 serves to block the mash and cause the mash to fall onto the pull-out plate 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, a movable groove is provided on the surface of the cross arm 4 for the feeding part c of the brewing tank hopper 51 to pass through, so that the brewing tank hopper 51 can be installed on the cross arm 4. The brewing tank hopper 51 and the cross arm 4 are separate structures, and the brewing tank hopper 51 can be manually disassembled to manually clean the mash inside the brewing tank hopper 51.

[0033] In this embodiment, the separator 8 includes a separator plate 81 fixed to the brewing tank hopper 51 by bolts, and a first screen 82 and a second screen 83 welded to the separator plate 81. The first screen 82 and the second screen 83 are distributed on opposite surfaces of the separator plate 81. The first screen 82 and the second screen 83 are inclined. The first screen 82 and the second screen 83 serve to further screen the mash, keeping it in a loose state and preventing it from clumping. The mesh size of the first screen 82 and the second screen 83 can be designed according to actual conditions to meet the requirements of mash screening.

[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0035] When the workers are feeding the brewing mash into the still, the mash is placed in the brewing tank hopper 51 and falls onto the material blocking screen 7.

[0036] The positions of the fixed beam 21 and the support 13 are manually moved so that the brewing tank hopper 51 is located directly above the still A.

[0037] When steam appears in the still A and it is time to feed the mash, start the vibrator 53 to make the brewing tank hopper 51 vibrate, which in turn makes the blocking screen 7 screen the mash, making it loose and fall.

[0038] When the discharge port 61 of the pull plate 6 is located outside the brewing tank hopper 51, the pull plate 6 blocks the discharge port 61 of the brewing tank hopper 51. At this time, the pull plate 6 is pulled out, and the discharge port 61 is located inside the brewing tank hopper 51. The mash screened by the blocking screen 7 can fall from the discharge port 61 to complete the process of feeding the mash into the steamer, thus assisting the workers in feeding the mash into the steamer.

[0039] When the mash being fed covers a specific area inside the still A, push the pull plate 6 to block the mash.

[0040] In the above process, it is not necessary to use a large wooden shovel to shovel the mash. It is only necessary to move the position of the fixed beam 21 and the support 13 and pull out the corresponding pull plate 6. In the process of assisting in the feeding of the steamer in this application, the staff can hold the small-handled wooden shovel with one hand to adjust the falling mash and make it flat.

[0041] In summary, this application provides an auxiliary device for assisting workers in manually feeding the fermentation still. The fermentation tank hopper 51 is filled with fermented mash. The vibrator 53 vibrates, causing the fermentation tank hopper 51 to vibrate, which in turn causes the material-blocking screen 7 to screen the fermented mash, making it loose and falling. The fed fermented mash is scattered in the still, thus achieving the purpose of assisting workers in feeding the still.

[0042] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the detailed description above), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
