Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice wine processing technology, specifically a water injection device that facilitates the secondary addition of water after rice wine saccharification. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of making rice wine, an appropriate amount of water needs to be added a second time after saccharification. The purpose is to adjust the concentration of the saccharified solution to promote the growth and reproduction of yeast, thereby achieving alcoholic fermentation. Specifically, adding water can reduce the sugar concentration after saccharification, creating a more suitable environment for yeast metabolism, which helps yeast convert sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

[0003] Currently, the common methods for adding water are manual pouring or hand-held water pipe injection. While these methods are convenient, they have the following drawbacks: firstly, the water flow may be too strong, which could easily break up the rice wine mash and damage the fermentation structure; secondly, uneven water addition may occur, resulting in localized areas with excessively high or low water levels. To address these issues, the inventor has proposed a water injection device that facilitates secondary water addition after rice wine saccharification. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems of water easily dispersing the rice wine mash and damaging the fermentation structure, as well as uneven water addition during current water addition processes, the purpose of this invention is to provide a water injection device that facilitates secondary water addition after rice wine saccharification.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a water injection device for facilitating secondary water addition after rice wine saccharification, comprising a tank body, a tank cover detachably and sealably provided on the top surface of the tank body, a shell fixedly connected to the top surface of the tank cover, a rotating cylinder rotatably connected to the center of the top surface of the tank cover, a water supply rotating connector fixedly connected to the input end of the rotating cylinder, an inclined rigid pipe fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder, a water inlet pipe detachably provided at the end of the inclined rigid pipe, the water inlet pipe including a water outlet, the output end of the water outlet contacting the inner wall of the tank body, a first transmission bevel gear and a second transmission bevel gear fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating cylinder and inside the shell, a motor provided inside the shell, a half-face bevel gear fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor, the half-face bevel gear being located between the first transmission bevel gear and the second transmission bevel gear, and the half-face bevel gear meshing with the first transmission bevel gear and the second transmission bevel gear.

[0006] Preferably, the water supply rotary joint is located outside the shell, the rotating cylinder passes through the shell and is rotatably connected to the shell, and the water supply rotary joint is used to rotatably connect to the external water supply pipe. When the rotating cylinder rotates, the water supply rotary joint can prevent the external water supply pipe connected to it from rotating and getting tangled. The water supply rotary joint is an existing mature product and is directly selected here. The rotating cylinder is used to transport water to the inclined rigid pipe. A water level gauge and a one-way valve exhaust pipe are inserted into the top surface of the tank cover. The water level gauge and the one-way valve exhaust pipe are offset. When adding water to the tank, the water level in the tank can be viewed in real time through the water level gauge. The one-way valve exhaust pipe can allow the gas generated in the tank to be discharged to the outside, and can prevent external gas from entering the tank through the one-way valve exhaust pipe, thereby avoiding pollution.

[0007] Preferably, there are three inclined rigid tubes, and the three inclined rigid tubes are arranged in an array around the axis of the rotating cylinder. The inlet end of the water filling pipe is fixedly connected to a threaded cylinder. The inner wall of the pipe opening of the inclined rigid tube is provided with internal threads, and the threaded cylinder corresponds to and is threadedly connected to the internal threads. When water enters the inclined rigid tube through the rotating cylinder, the water can flow out from the outlet through the water filling pipe for water filling. The outlet end is in contact with the inner wall of the tank. Therefore, when water is added through the outlet... When adding water, the outflowing liquid can flow slowly along the inner wall of the tank to avoid directly impacting the fermentation mash, thus protecting the fermentation substrate. When the water inlet pipe is clogged with rice grains and needs cleaning or replacement, remove the tank lid from the tank, unscrew the water inlet pipe, and through the interaction of the internal thread and the threaded sleeve, the threaded sleeve will separate from the internal thread, allowing the water inlet pipe to be removed for cleaning or replacement. A rubber ball pad is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inclined rigid pipe, and the rubber ball pad contacts the inner wall of the tank. Made of wear-resistant materials, rubber ball pads protect the water filling pipe. When the rotating cylinder and the inclined rigid pipe are long, they may wobble during rotation. The rubber ball pads prevent wear between the water filling pipe and the inner wall of the tank caused by wobbling, thus extending service life. A base is provided on the side wall of the motor, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell. A heat dissipation vent is provided through the side wall of the shell, and a dustproof net is fixedly connected to the port of the heat dissipation vent. The motor is installed through the base. When the motor is started, the half-face bevel gear rotates under the action of the motor output shaft. Through the cross meshing of the half-face bevel gear with the first transmission bevel gear and the second transmission bevel gear, the rotating cylinder can be rotated back and forth, which in turn causes the water filling pipe to rotate back and forth through the inclined rigid pipe, so as to avoid continuous water filling in a single area and improve the uniformity of water filling. The dustproof net is used to prevent external dust from entering the shell through the heat dissipation vent, which allows air to circulate between the inside and outside of the shell to dissipate heat from the internal area of ​​the shell.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when adding water to the tank, the water can flow slowly along the inner wall of the tank to avoid the water flowing directly onto the mash, thereby protecting the fermentation substrate. Furthermore, the water adding pipe can rotate back and forth during water addition to avoid continuous water injection in a single area, thereby improving the uniformity of water addition. At the same time, the water adding pipe can be disassembled and installed to clean or replace it when it is blocked by rice grains. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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.

[0017] Example: Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a water injection device for facilitating secondary water addition after rice wine saccharification. It includes a tank body 1, a detachable and sealed tank lid 2 on the top surface of the tank body 1, a housing 3 fixedly connected to the top surface of the tank lid 2, a rotating cylinder 8 rotatably connected to the center of the top surface of the tank lid 2, a water supply rotating connector 9 fixedly connected to the input end of the rotating cylinder 8, and an inclined rigid pipe 12 fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder 8. A water inlet pipe 14 is detachably installed at the end of the inclined rigid pipe 12, and the water inlet pipe 14 includes a water outlet 15. The output end of the water outlet 15 contacts the inner wall of the tank body 1. A first transmission bevel gear 10 and a second transmission bevel gear 11 are fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the rotating cylinder 8 and inside the housing 3. A motor 5 is installed inside the housing 3, and a half-face bevel gear 7 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 5. The half-face bevel gear 7 is located between the first transmission bevel gear 10 and the second transmission bevel gear 11, and meshes with both the first transmission bevel gear 10 and the second transmission bevel gear 11.

[0018] The water supply rotary joint 9 is located outside the housing 3, and the rotating cylinder 8 passes through the housing 3 and is rotatably connected to the housing 3.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the water supply rotary joint 9 is used to rotate and connect with the external water supply pipe. When the rotating cylinder 8 rotates, the water supply rotary joint 9 can prevent the external water supply pipe connected to it from rotating and getting tangled. The water supply rotary joint 9 is an existing mature product, and it is directly selected here. The rotating cylinder 8 is used to transport water to the inclined rigid pipe 12.

[0020] A water level gauge 18 and a one-way valve exhaust pipe 19 are interspersed on the top surface of the tank lid 2, with the water level gauge 18 and the one-way valve exhaust pipe 19 being offset from each other.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the water level gauge 18 is an existing mature product, which can be directly selected here. The model of the water level gauge 18 can be DX-WLX-1. When adding water to the tank 1, the water level in the tank 1 can be viewed in real time through the water level gauge 18. The gas generated in the tank 1 can be discharged through the one-way valve exhaust pipe 19, and external gas can be prevented from entering the tank 1 through the one-way valve exhaust pipe 19, thereby avoiding pollution.

[0022] There are three inclined rigid tubes 12, and the three inclined rigid tubes 12 are arranged in an array with the axis of the rotating cylinder 8 as the center. The input end of the water supply pipe 14 is fixedly connected to a threaded cylinder 16. The inner wall of the pipe opening of the inclined rigid tube 12 is provided with an internal thread 13. The threaded cylinder 16 corresponds to the internal thread 13 and is threadedly connected.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the liquid enters the inclined rigid tube 12 through the rotating cylinder 8, the liquid can flow out from the outlet 15 through the water inlet pipe 14 for water addition. The output end of the outlet 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank 1. Therefore, when adding water through the outlet 15, the liquid can flow slowly along the inner wall of the tank 1 to avoid the water flowing directly onto the mash, thus protecting the fermentation substrate. When the water inlet pipe 14 is blocked by rice grains and needs to be cleaned or replaced, the tank cover 2 is removed from the tank 1, the water inlet pipe 14 is screwed on, and the internal thread 13 and the threaded cylinder 16 are engaged to separate the threaded cylinder 16 from the internal thread 13, so that the water inlet pipe 14 can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0024] A rubber ball pad 17 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the inclined rigid tube 12, and the rubber ball pad 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank body 1.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber ball pad 17 is made of wear-resistant material. The rubber ball pad 17 is used to protect the water filling pipe 14. When the rotating cylinder 8 and the inclined rigid pipe 12 are long, they may shake during rotation. The rubber ball pad 17 can prevent the water filling pipe 14 from being worn against the inner wall of the tank 1 due to shaking, thereby extending the service life.

[0026] A base 6 is provided on the side wall of the motor 5. The base 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 3. A heat dissipation vent 4 is provided through the side wall of the housing 3. A dustproof net is fixedly connected to the port of the heat dissipation vent 4.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor 5 is installed on the base 6. When the motor 5 is started, the half-face bevel gear 7 rotates under the action of the output shaft of the motor 5. Through the cross meshing of the half-face bevel gear 7 with the first transmission bevel gear 10 and the second transmission bevel gear 11, the rotating cylinder 8 can be rotated back and forth. In turn, the water filling pipe 14 can be rotated back and forth through the inclined rigid pipe 12 to avoid continuous water filling in a single area and improve the uniformity of water filling. The dustproof net is set to prevent external dust from entering the housing 3 through the heat dissipation port 4. The heat dissipation port 4 is used to allow air to circulate inside and outside the housing 3 to dissipate heat in the internal area of ​​the housing 3.

[0028] Working principle: When water needs to be added to the tank 1, the water supply rotary joint 9 is rotated to connect with the external water supply pipe so that the water enters the rotating cylinder 8 through the water supply rotary joint 9, and then enters the inclined rigid pipe 12 through the rotating cylinder 8. The water then flows out from the outlet 15 through the water filling pipe 14, thus performing the water filling operation. The output end of the outlet 15 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank 1. Therefore, when adding water through the outlet 15, the water flowing out can flow slowly along the inner wall of the tank 1 to avoid the water flowing directly onto the mash, thereby protecting the fermentation substrate.

[0029] At the same time, the motor 5 can be started, and the half-face bevel gear 7 rotates under the action of the output shaft of the motor 5. Through the cross meshing of the half-face bevel gear 7 with the first transmission bevel gear 10 and the second transmission bevel gear 11, the rotating cylinder 8 can be rotated back and forth. In turn, the water filling pipe 14 can be rotated back and forth through the inclined rigid pipe 12 to avoid continuous water filling in a single area, thereby improving the uniformity of water filling.

[0030] When rice grains clog the water inlet pipe 14 and it needs to be cleaned or replaced, remove the lid 2 from the tank body 1, twist the water inlet pipe 14, and through the mutual cooperation of the internal thread 13 and the threaded cylinder 16, the threaded cylinder 16 will separate from the internal thread 13, and the water inlet pipe 14 can be removed for cleaning or replacement.

[0031] All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
