Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, and in particular to a water measuring device inside the still for brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor). Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of strong-aroma baijiu, the process of applying water directly affects the moisture content of the mash entering the fermentation pit and the gelatinization effect. Traditional methods rely on manually splashing hot water onto the surface of the mash after it exits the still, which is labor-intensive, has unstable application processes, and carries the risk of burns. Some existing processes use direct water application inside the still, but uneven water spraying can easily cause water penetration, leading to starch and acid loss. Moreover, water penetration can result in uneven moisture content at the application point, resulting in poor gelatinization. Current technologies often use water pipes that directly enter the still for water application, or set up multiple water outlets for applying water. However, after the water enters the still, it may directly wash one or a few mash locations, causing a washing problem at these locations.

[0003] In view of this, it is urgent to improve the spraying structure of the water volume and increase the uniformity of water spraying, thereby reducing the loss of starch and acidity and improving the gelatinization effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a water measuring device inside the still for brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor).

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: This utility model provides a water measuring device inside the still for brewing baijiu, including: a water inlet pipe, a water distribution pipe and butterfly nozzles. The water distribution pipe is a horizontally arranged annular single-loop pipe. The upper surface of the water inlet pipe is connected to the upper surface of the water distribution pipe, and multiple butterfly nozzles are connected in a circumferential array on the lower surface of the water distribution pipe.

[0006] In the above embodiments, the water distribution pipe is installed at the top inside the steamer, and the water inlet pipe is connected to the water supply unit outside the steamer. Water is input into the water distribution pipe through the water inlet pipe and evenly distributed to multiple butterfly nozzles, and finally sprayed out from the butterfly nozzles to achieve the purpose of uniformly distributing water.

[0007] In some embodiments, a horizontal pipe is also included, which is disposed inside the water distribution pipe along the diameter direction, with both ends of the horizontal pipe connected to the water distribution pipe, and the water inlet pipe connected to the horizontal pipe.

[0008] To ensure a more even distribution of water to the different butterfly nozzles, a horizontal pipe is installed radially in the middle of the single-ring annular water distribution pipe, connecting the inlet pipe to the horizontal pipe. Water first enters the horizontal pipe, then flows from both ends into the distribution pipe, and finally through the distribution pipe into the different butterfly nozzles for spraying. The horizontal pipe connects radially to the distribution pipe, allowing water to enter from the middle section and then branch off to both ends of the annular distribution pipe, forming a bidirectional water inlet path. This design overcomes the problem of localized pressure concentration caused by a single inlet point and avoids pressure attenuation at the end of the flow due to distance differences.

[0009] In some implementations, the connection point between the inlet pipe and the horizontal pipe is located at the center of the horizontal pipe.

[0010] The connection between the horizontal pipe and the annular water distribution pipe forms a symmetrical structure. When the water flows into the annular pipe simultaneously from both sides of the horizontal pipe, the symmetrical flow characteristics can suppress the generation of eddies.

[0011] In some embodiments, a butterfly nozzle is connected to the lower center of the horizontal tube.

[0012] In the above embodiment, the water distribution pipe is preferably coaxially arranged inside the steamer. Therefore, the butterfly nozzle in the middle of the horizontal pipe is located on the axis inside the steamer. Setting the butterfly nozzle at this location can achieve a better uniform water spraying effect. At the same time, this butterfly nozzle can cooperate with multiple butterfly nozzles below the water distribution pipe. When spraying simultaneously, the water droplets sprayed out by each other can collide and splash again, forming smaller droplets and achieving a more uniform spraying effect.

[0013] In some implementations, multiple butterfly nozzles are at the same horizontal height.

[0014] In some implementations, multiple butterfly nozzles located on the water distribution pipe are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal pipe.

[0015] The horizontal pipe serves as the main water inlet channel, with symmetrically distributed butterfly nozzles on both sides forming a bidirectional flow path. Water enters from the middle of the horizontal pipe and is evenly distributed to each nozzle at both ends. This design reduces pressure accumulation on one side through dynamic pressure balancing, preventing flow attenuation at the end nozzles due to insufficient water pressure. Simultaneously, butterfly nozzles are not installed on the distribution pipe directly opposite the horizontal pipe, thus avoiding sudden pressure changes at the horizontal pipe outlet and preventing inconsistent water pressure across different butterfly nozzles.

[0016] In some embodiments, the butterfly nozzle includes a nozzle, a bracket, a mounting base, and a guide plate. The mounting base is spaced below the nozzle and connected to the nozzle by the bracket. The guide plate is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, and the nozzle outlet faces the guide plate. The guide plate can rotate under the action of the water flow at the outlet.

[0017] The water jet from the nozzle sprays vertically downwards and bounces off the guide plate. At the same time, the guide plate rotates under the reaction force, thereby changing the direction of the rebounding water flow and achieving the purpose of water distribution in different directions.

[0018] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the water distribution pipe has multiple interfaces arranged in a circumferential array, and nozzles are detachably installed at the interfaces.

[0019] The interface allows the butterfly nozzle to be disassembled, replaced, and maintained.

[0020] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art:

[0021] This invention achieves multi-directional and uniform water spraying within the still by employing a coordinated diversion design of annular water distribution pipes and radial horizontal pipes, combined with symmetrically distributed butterfly nozzles and a rotating guide plate structure. This effectively eliminates spray blind spots and inhibits water flow penetration, reducing starch and acidity loss. The guide plate rotates dynamically under the impact of water flow, forming atomized water droplets and multi-angle rebounds, improving the uniformity of grain wetting and gelatinization. At the same time, the modular quick-release interface simplifies maintenance. The overall structure is compact and adaptable to the requirements of high-temperature water flow processes, significantly reducing labor intensity and energy consumption.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, combined with Figure 2-4 The present invention relates to a water measuring device for use in the still for brewing baijiu, comprising: a water inlet pipe 1, a water distribution pipe 2, and butterfly nozzles 3. The water distribution pipe 2 is a horizontally arranged annular single-loop pipe. The water inlet pipe 1 is connected to the upper surface of the water distribution pipe 2, and multiple butterfly nozzles 3 are connected in a circumferential array on the lower surface of the water distribution pipe 2.

[0032] In the above embodiments, high-temperature water enters the annular water distribution pipe 2 through the water inlet pipe 1. Since the water distribution pipe 2 is a horizontal single-ring design, the water flow is evenly distributed to each butterfly nozzle 3 along the circumference under the action of centrifugal force. This forms a cross-spraying trajectory, eliminating the difference in dryness and wetness on the surface of the grain mash.

[0033] In some embodiments, a horizontal pipe 4 is also included, which is disposed inside the water distribution pipe 2 along the diameter direction. Both ends of the horizontal pipe 4 are connected to the water distribution pipe 2, and the water inlet pipe 1 is connected to the horizontal pipe 4.

[0034] The horizontal pipe 4 is arranged horizontally along the diameter of the water distribution pipe 2. Both ends are connected to the annular water distribution pipe 2 by welding or flange connection to form a "+" shaped pipe network structure. After the water enters the horizontal pipe 4 from the inlet pipe 1, it flows at a constant speed in both directions along the axis of the horizontal pipe. The symmetrical diversion design of the horizontal pipe 4 reduces energy loss, guides the water flow to a smooth transition, and suppresses the generation of eddies.

[0035] In some embodiments, the connection point between the water inlet pipe 1 and the horizontal pipe 4 is located at the center of the horizontal pipe 4.

[0036] In some embodiments, a butterfly nozzle 3 is connected to the lower center of the horizontal pipe 4.

[0037] A butterfly-shaped nozzle 3 is added below the center of the horizontal pipe 4, forming a vertical cross-coverage with the circumferential butterfly nozzle 3. The central butterfly nozzle 3 covers the axial area inside the steamer, and collides with the splashed water flow of the circumferential nozzle 3 at a height of 0.5m, causing secondary atomization of the droplets, which improves the wettability of the grain mash pile corner.

[0038] In some embodiments, a plurality of butterfly nozzles 3 located on the water distribution pipe 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal pipe 4.

[0039] The horizontal pipe 4 serves as the main water inlet channel, with the butterfly nozzles 3 symmetrically distributed on both sides forming a bidirectional flow path. After entering from the center of the horizontal pipe 4, the water flow is evenly distributed to each nozzle on both sides. The horizontal pipe 4 ensures that the inlet pressure difference of each butterfly nozzle 3 in the water distribution pipe 2 is ≤0.02MPa, and the flow difference is controlled within 5%, thus avoiding flow attenuation at the end nozzles due to insufficient water pressure.

[0040] In some embodiments, the butterfly nozzle 3 includes a nozzle 31 support 32, a mounting base 33, and a guide plate 34. The mounting base 33 is spaced below the nozzle 31 and is connected to the nozzle 31 by the support 32. The guide plate 34 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 33, and the outlet of the nozzle 31 is directly opposite the guide plate 34. The guide plate 34 can rotate under the action of the water flow at the outlet.

[0041] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the water distribution pipe 2 is provided with a plurality of interfaces 21 arranged in a circumferential array, and the nozzle 31 is detachably installed at the interface 21.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
