Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extraction equipment technology, and in particular to an aroma extraction device. Background Technology

[0002] In craft beer production, it is often necessary to add some flavoring substances, such as coriander seeds and dried tangerine peel, to the boiling pot. On the one hand, these substances are added to the boiling pot to extract the flavor components, but on the other hand, they also extract the undesirable components, which are detrimental to the stability and taste of the finished beer.

[0003] To reduce the negative impact of aroma compounds on beer, extraction equipment is used to extract the aroma components from these compounds. The lower part of the extraction equipment is a water-filled container with a heater installed inside, and the upper part is equipped with a cooling sleeve. The substance to be extracted is placed in an extraction basket, and the lower container is heated to generate steam. This steam then passes through the extraction basket, extracting the aroma compounds from the substance. The upper cooling sleeve is then turned on to cool the extracted steam, and the condensate is collected and added to the fermentation tank or directly to the finished beer, avoiding the adverse effects of direct extraction.

[0004] Currently, many extraction baskets are simply net bags or cylindrical structures. When aromatic substances such as coriander seeds and dried tangerine peel are placed in the extraction basket, the steam has difficulty contacting the material in the center of the extraction basket, making it difficult for the aromatic components to volatilize. The extraction time is long and insufficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aroma extraction device to solve the problem that during extraction, it is difficult for steam to come into contact with the material in the center of the extraction basket, which makes it difficult to volatilize the aroma components and results in a long and insufficient extraction time.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An aroma extraction apparatus includes an extraction tank, an extraction basket, an exhaust pipe, and a condenser. The extraction basket is disposed within the exhaust port at the top of the extraction tank. The exhaust pipe has an inlet connected to the exhaust port at the top of the extraction tank, and an exhaust port connected to the inlet of the condenser. The extraction basket includes a cover, a cylinder, and hollow tubes. A plurality of hollow tubes are vertically installed on the inner bottom surface of the cylinder, and the bottom of the hollow tubes passes through the inner bottom of the cylinder. The cover is disposed on the cylinder.

[0007] A further technical solution is that the hollow tube is provided with multiple air outlets.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the cover, the cylinder, and the hollow tube are made of stainless steel mesh.

[0009] A further technical solution is: a limiting protrusion ring is provided inside the air outlet at the top of the extraction tank, and the upper surface of the limiting protrusion ring abuts against the bottom surface of the cylinder.

[0010] A further technical solution is that a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the extraction tank.

[0011] A further technical solution is that the extraction tank is an electrically heated boiling pot.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects: This invention proposes an aroma extraction device that can extract aroma components from aroma substances and then add them to beer, giving the beer a certain aroma and ensuring its taste. During the extraction of aroma components, the hollow tube can penetrate the aroma substances in the extraction basket, ensuring that the steam can fully contact the aroma substances to achieve a more thorough extraction effect and shorten the extraction time.
