Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beer processing technology, and in particular to a craft beer filter. Background Technology

[0002] In the craft beer brewing process, filtration is a crucial step in removing residual yeast, protein deposits, and impurities from the beer, directly affecting its clarity and taste. However, in traditional filtration equipment, because the filter screen is usually fixedly connected to the main body of the equipment, it is difficult to completely remove residual tartrates, yeast, and other substances, which can easily lead to bacterial growth and affect the quality of subsequent batches.

[0003] To solve the above problems, the existing technology installs the filter screen inside the main body of the equipment by means of snap-fit ​​or threaded connection. When the filter screen needs to be cleaned, it can be manually disassembled for cleaning, which facilitates the installation and removal of the filter screen.

[0004] However, the existing craft beer filters still require staff to remove the filters from inside the main body of the equipment, which is not very convenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a craft beer filter that solves the problem that in existing craft beer filters, the filter screen still needs to be disassembled by staff inside the main body of the equipment, which is not convenient.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 ,in Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the external structure of a craft beer filter. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the structure when the filter screen is located outside the filter tank. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of the rotatable mounting base. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of the lifting arm.

[0021] This utility model provides a craft beer filter, comprising a filter tank 101, a top cover 102, a filter screen 103, and a disassembly / assembly mechanism. The disassembly / assembly mechanism includes a mounting frame 104, a rotatable mounting base, a lifting arm, a connecting arm 105, and a connecting rod 106. The rotatable mounting base includes a seat body 107, a rotating disk 108, and a first driving component 109. The lifting arm includes a fixed arm 110, a sliding arm 111, a second driving component 112, a threaded rod 113, and a ball screw and nut assembly 114. This solution solves the problem in existing craft beer filters where disassembly still requires personnel to operate inside the main body of the equipment, making the operation inconvenient. Therefore, this solution can be applied to the structure of craft beer filters.

[0022] In this specific embodiment, the top of the filter tank 101 is located on the top cover 102. The interior of the filter tank 101 is provided with a mounting boss 115, and the filter screen 103 is provided at the mounting boss 115. The side of the filter tank 101 is also provided with a liquid inlet 116, which is located between the top cover 102 and the mounting boss 115. The liquid to be filtered is delivered into the interior of the filter tank 101 through the liquid inlet 116, and the filter screen 103 removes residual yeast, protein precipitates and impurities from the liquid.

[0023] The mounting bracket 104 is disposed on the outer wall of the filter tank 101. A rotatable mounting base is disposed on the mounting bracket 104. A lifting arm is disposed at the output end of the rotatable mounting base. A connecting arm 105 is disposed at the top end of the lifting arm. The connecting arm 105 is perpendicular to the lifting arm. The end of the connecting arm 105 away from the lifting arm is connected to the upper surface of the top cover 102. A connecting rod 106 is disposed between the bottom of the top cover 102 and the center of the filter screen 103. When the filter screen 103 needs to be cleaned after prolonged use... The height of the connecting arm 105 is adjusted by the lifting arm, thereby raising the top cover 102. After the filter screen 103 is detached from the filter tank 101 by the connecting rod 106, the lifting arm is rotated by the rotatable mounting base, so that the filter screen 103 rotates to the outside of the filter tank 101. Then, the lifting arm drives the connecting arm 105 to descend, making it easier for workers to clean the filter screen 103 from the outside of the filter tank 101. With the above structure, workers do not need to disassemble the filter screen 103 from inside the filter tank 101, making the operation more convenient.

[0024] Secondly, the base 107 is mounted on the mounting bracket 104. The top of the base 107 is provided with the rotating disk 108, and the upper surface of the rotating disk 108 is provided with the lifting arm. The first driving member 109 is provided inside the base 107. The output end of the first driving member 109 is connected to the rotating disk 108. When the first driving member 109 is started, the rotating disk 108 is driven to rotate on the base 107, thereby driving the rotation of the lifting arm. Here, the first driving member 109 is preferably a servo motor.

[0025] Meanwhile, a rotating bearing 117 is provided on the upper surface of the seat 107, and a mounting protrusion 118 is provided on the side of the rotating disk 108 facing the seat 107. The mounting protrusion 118 is embedded in the interior of the rotating bearing 117. The output end of the first driving member 109 is connected to the mounting protrusion 118. Through the provision of the rotating bearing 117, the rotating disk 108 rotates more smoothly when it rotates at the top of the seat 107.

[0026] Additionally, one end of the fixed arm 110 is connected to the upper surface of the rotating disk 108, and the other end of the fixed arm 110 is slidably provided with the sliding arm 111. The end of the sliding arm 111 away from the fixed arm 110 is provided with the connecting arm 105. Both the fixed arm 110 and the sliding arm 111 are hollow structures. The inner bottom of the fixed arm 110 is provided with the second driving member 112, and the output end of the second driving member 112 is provided with the threaded rod 113. The threaded rod 113 is provided with the ball screw nut pair 114, which is connected to the inner bottom of the sliding arm 111. When the second driving member 112 is activated, the threaded rod 113 is driven to rotate. Since the ball screw nut pair 114 is connected to the inner bottom of the sliding arm 111, the sliding arm 111 is driven to slide inside the fixed arm 110. Here, the second driving member 112 is preferably a servo motor.

[0027] Furthermore, a limiting block 119 is provided at one end of the threaded rod 113 away from the second driving member 112. The limiting block 119 prevents the ball screw nut pair 114 from falling off the threaded rod 113. And since the limiting block 119 is located inside the fixed arm 110, the sliding arm 111 is prevented from falling off the fixed arm 110.

[0028] When using this beer brewing filter, the beer to be filtered is fed into the filter tank 101 through the inlet 116. The filter screen 103 removes residual yeast, protein precipitates, and impurities from the beer. When the filter screen 103 needs cleaning after prolonged use, the height of the connecting arm 105 is adjusted by the lifting arm, thereby raising the top cover 102. The connecting rod 106 then detaches the filter screen 103 from the filter tank 101. The rotatable mounting base drives the lifting arm to rotate, allowing the filter screen 103 to rotate to the outside of the filter tank 101. The lifting arm then lowers the connecting arm 105, making it easier for workers to clean the filter screen 103 from the outside of the filter tank 101. With this structure, workers do not need to disassemble the filter screen 103 from inside the filter tank 101, making the operation more convenient.

[0029] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
