Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of beer production equipment, and in particular to a malt processing and cleaning device for beer production. Background Technology
[0002] Malt, a traditional Chinese medicine, is mostly grown in northern regions. It is a processed product made from the mature fruit of barley that has been germinated and dried. After soaking the barley grains in water and maintaining a suitable temperature and humidity, the sprouts are dried in the sun or at low temperature when they grow to about five centimeters. It is a major raw material for beer production. In the beer production process, malt needs to be cleaned, often directly with water. The malt is then manually separated from impurities, which is a complicated process and the impurities are difficult to remove. Moreover, manual cleaning is inefficient. Existing cleaning equipment only uses water for cleaning, which is also inefficient.
[0003] For example, the malt processing and cleaning device for beer production disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN221734232U3 achieves the cleaning effect of malt by setting up a turntable and rotating components. While ensuring that different types of malt are packaged and cleaned, compared with the existing method of malt rotating together with the cleaning basket, the rotation of the cleaning basket can drive the flow of clean water inside, thereby causing the malt to move continuously in the water. During the movement, the dust and bacteria on the surface of the malt are washed away. In addition, after cleaning, the cleaning basket can be used for preliminary dehydration, which is convenient for the malt to be dried.
[0004] However, this does not solve the problem of low cleaning efficiency caused by existing cleaning devices that only use water washing. Therefore, we propose a cleaning device for malt processing in beer production. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a malt processing and cleaning device for beer production, which solves the problem that existing cleaning devices only use water washing and have low cleaning efficiency.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] A malt processing and cleaning device for beer production includes a cleaning tank 1, a receiving rack 6 movably arranged inside the cleaning tank 1, a filter screen plate 8 fixedly arranged on one side of the receiving rack 6, a feeding rack 9 fixedly arranged above the cleaning tank 1, a storage box 11 movably arranged on one side of the feeding rack 9, a blower 13 fixedly arranged on one side of the feeding rack 9, a blower frame 15 fixedly arranged on one side of the blower 13, a stirring motor 16 fixedly arranged on one side of the cleaning tank 1, and a stirring frame 17 fixedly arranged on one side of the stirring motor 16.
[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, a mounting leg 2 is fixedly provided at each of the four corners of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, a drain outlet 3 is fixedly provided on the side of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 away from the mounting leg 2, a sealing cover 4 is movably provided on the top of the cleaning tank 1, and an inner viewing window 5 is fixedly provided on the outside of the cleaning tank 1.
[0026] The above scheme involves setting up a cleaning tank 1, a drain outlet 3, and an inner viewing window 5. The cleaning tank 1 is used to clean the malt, while the staff can observe the cleaning process of the malt from the outside through the inner viewing window 5. The drain outlet 3 is used to facilitate drainage.
[0027] In this embodiment, preferably, the receiving rack 6 is movably disposed inside the cleaning tank 1 on the side away from the sealing cover 4, a sealing ring 7 is fixedly disposed between the receiving rack 6 and the cleaning tank 1, and a filter screen plate 8 is fixedly disposed on the side of the receiving rack 6 near the drain outlet 3.
[0028] With the above scheme, by setting up the collection rack 6 and the filter plate 8, when the malt is drained through the drain outlet 3 after the malt is washed, the malt will be left in the collection rack 6 by the filter plate 8, which makes it convenient for the staff to collect the malt later.
[0029] In this embodiment, preferably, the feeding rack 9 is fixedly installed above the side of the cleaning box 1 near the sealing cover 4, the feeding funnel 10 is fixedly installed above the feeding rack 9, the storage box 11 is movably installed on the side of the feeding rack 9 near the receiving rack 6, and the air filter plate 12 is fixedly installed on the outside of the storage box 11.
[0030] The above scheme uses a feeding rack 9, a feeding funnel 10, and a collection box 11 to facilitate the feeding of malt, allowing workers to pour the malt into the washing box. At the same time, the collection box 11 facilitates the collection of impurities separated from the malt.
[0031] In this embodiment, the blower 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the feeding rack 9 away from the storage box 11, a protective box 14 is fixedly installed between the blower 13 and the feeding rack 9, and a blower frame 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the blower 13 close to the feeding rack 9.
[0032] Through the above scheme, the blower 13 and the blower frame are used to blow a large air into the feed rack 9 from the side, thereby separating some impurities in the malt and then blowing them into the storage box 11 for storage, which facilitates the pretreatment of the malt.
[0033] In this embodiment, preferably, the stirring motor 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the cleaning tank 1 away from the receiving rack 6, a stirring rack 17 is fixedly installed above the filter screen plate 8 on one side of the stirring motor 16, and a mounting rack 18 is fixedly installed between the stirring motor 16 and the cleaning tank 1.
[0034] The above scheme uses a stirring motor 16 and a stirring frame 17. The stirring motor 16 drives the stirring frame 17 to rotate, thereby continuously stirring the malt mixed in the water and using the water flow to continuously rinse the malt, thus achieving the effect of cleaning the malt.
[0035] Example 1: Workers can open the sealing cover 4 to inject the water required for cleaning into the feeding funnel 10 and pour the malt into the cleaning box 1. The blower 13 continuously blows air from one side onto the feeding rack 9, thereby blowing out some impurities in the malt and separating them from the malt for pre-treatment of cleaning. The air is then blown into the collection box and filtered out by the air filter plate 12, leaving the impurities in the collection box. Workers only need to replace and clean the collection box regularly, thus reducing the amount of impurities in the malt entering the cleaning box 1, and making the cleaning work faster and more efficient.
[0036] Example 2: This device has a stirring motor 16 installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1. The stirring motor 16 drives the stirring frame 17 to continuously stir the malt mixed with water inside the cleaning tank 1, thereby cleaning the malt. After cleaning, the water can be drained by opening the drain outlet 3, and the malt will be left on the receiving rack 6 by the filter screen 8. Then the receiving rack 6 can be pulled out to remove the malt. A sealing ring 7 is installed between the receiving rack 6 and the cleaning tank 1 to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the receiving rack 6 and the receiving tank 1. The operator can observe the cleaning status of the malt inside the cleaning tank 1 through the inner viewing window 5, so as to make adjustments at any time.
[0037] In this embodiment, a malt processing and cleaning device for beer production allows operators to open the sealing cover 4 to inject the necessary water into the feeding funnel 10, pouring the malt into the cleaning tank 1. A blower 13 continuously blows air from one side onto the feeding rack 9, blowing out impurities from the malt and separating them for pre-treatment. The air is then blown into the collection tank and filtered out by the air filter plate 12, leaving the impurities in the collection tank. Operators only need to periodically replace and clean the collection tank, thus ensuring the malt is clean and free of impurities. The malt entering the washing tank 1 contains fewer impurities, allowing for faster and more efficient cleaning. The advantages of this malt processing and cleaning device for beer production include: a blower 13 located on one side of the feeding rack 9 continuously blows air through a blower frame 15 onto the feeding rack 9. As the malt is poured through the feeding funnel 10 and passes through the feeding rack 9, some impurities in the malt are blown away by the airflow. This pre-treatment of the malt before it enters the washing tank 1 reduces the impurity content and improves the cleanliness of the malt. The device features a stirring motor 16 on one side of the cleaning tank 1, which drives the stirring frame 17 to continuously agitate the malt mixed with water inside the cleaning tank 1, thus cleaning the malt. After cleaning, the water can be drained through the drain outlet 3, leaving the malt on the filter screen 8 and the receiving rack 6. The receiving rack 6 can then be pulled out to remove the malt. A sealing ring 7 is provided between the receiving rack 6 and the cleaning tank 1 to ensure the airtight connection of the receiving rack 6. The operator can observe the cleaning status of the malt inside the cleaning tank 1 through the inner viewing window 5, facilitating adjustments at any time. The advantages of this malt processing and cleaning device for beer production are that the operator can control the stirring motor 16 to drive the stirring frame 17 to rotate, using the stirring frame 17 to continuously rinse the malt with water, thus performing a more comprehensive cleaning of the malt. After the malt is cleaned, the water inside the cleaning tank 1 can be drained through the drain outlet 3, leaving the cleaned malt on the filter screen 8, making it convenient for the operator to pull out the receiving rack 6 to collect the malt.
