Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of liquor brewing, and specifically relates to a device for pouring out the slurry. Background Technology

[0002] In the baijiu brewing process, after the grains are moistened and grated, the grated material needs to be poured into a grated material mixing machine or conveyor in batches for further mixing and cooling. However, in existing processes, the grated material is mostly poured manually or using simple dump trucks. This method has the following problems: 1. The large quantity and weight of the grated material make manual handling or dumping time-consuming and labor-intensive, greatly increasing the workload of workers; 2. Manual batch pouring is slow and cannot meet the needs of large-scale continuous production; 3. The pouring speed and position are difficult to control when manually pouring the material, which can easily cause uneven accumulation of the grated material, affecting the subsequent mixing and cooling effect; 4. Safety problems such as dust flying and falling debris causing injury are likely to occur during manual handling and pouring.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated grain-turning device with a reasonable structure, convenient operation, and the ability to coordinate with the conveying and cooling processes, in order to replace manual operation and improve production efficiency and safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a grain-pouring device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is a slag-removing device, including a tilting machine and a chain plate lifting conveyor. The tilting machine includes a support frame and a tilting frame. The support frame is square-shaped and has a hopper. The hopper has an open feed inlet at the top and a narrowed discharge outlet at the bottom. One side of the hopper has a side notch. The support frame has bearing seats on both sides of the side notch. Rotating shafts are installed in the bearing seats. The two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of the tilting frame. One side of the rotating shaft is connected to the output end of a reducer installed on the support frame. The reducer is connected to a motor. The chain plate lifting conveyor includes a conveying frame and a support bracket for the conveying frame. A chain plate conveying mechanism is installed on the conveying frame. The chain plate conveying mechanism includes a head sprocket and a tail sprocket at both ends of the conveying frame, as well as a surrounding chain plate. The tail of the chain plate is located below the discharge outlet. A mixing and dispersing mechanism and an air-cooling mechanism are sequentially arranged on the conveying frame along the conveying direction.

[0006] Furthermore, the mixing and dispersing mechanism includes a rotating rod that is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame, with vertical rods spaced around the rotating rod and a mixing shovel at the end of each vertical rod.

[0007] Furthermore, an arc-shaped baffle is installed above the mixing and dispersing mechanism on the conveyor frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the air-cooling mechanism includes a mounting frame that is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame. The mounting frame includes two pairs of vertical fixed rods that connect the two sides of the conveyor frame. The upper ends of the fixed rods are connected to a rectangular frame. The rectangular frame is tilted upwards along the conveying direction so that it forms a certain acute angle with the conveying direction. The fan is vertically fixed on the rectangular frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the tilting frame includes right-angled trapezoidal frames on both sides, with the diagonal waist bars of the right-angled trapezoidal frames facing outwards. The parallel bottom edge bars on both sides are connected to the right-angled waist bars by connecting rods. Horizontal and vertical reinforcing rods are provided inside the right-angled trapezoidal frames to connect the two waist bars and the two bottom edge bars.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is fixed at the balance points on both sides of the tilting frame.

[0011] Furthermore, it includes a U-shaped hopper for holding the granules, the U-shaped hopper being fixed within a square frame.

[0012] The present invention provides a device for pouring out grains, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. By turning the hopper over, the slag can be evenly poured into the chain plate conveyor, reducing manual intervention and realizing automated operation. The turning structure works in conjunction with the chain plate conveyor to ensure that the slag enters the conveying system continuously and evenly, avoiding material accumulation and improving the mixing and cooling effect of subsequent processes. 2. The mechanical tilting replaces manual handling, reducing the amount of work that workers need to directly handle and improving the working environment. The tilting machine uses frame support and motor drive, making the operation stable and avoiding safety hazards such as falling and dust that occur during manual unloading. 3. The chain plate lifting conveyor is equipped with a mixing and dispersing mechanism and an air cooling mechanism in sequence. During the conveying process, the mash can be loosened and cooled to ensure that the mash particles are dispersed and the temperature is suitable, which is beneficial to subsequent processes. 4. The tilting frame adopts a right-angled trapezoidal frame with reinforcing rods, which has high overall strength and a stable tilting process, ensuring the long-term reliability of the equipment. The U-shaped hopper can be placed and fixed to the tilting frame by a forklift, which is convenient for loading and unloading and is suitable for the rapid pouring of different batches of grits.

[0015] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a detailed description of a grain-pouring device of this utility model is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a milling device includes a tilting machine 1 and a chain conveyor 2. The tilting machine 1 includes a support frame 11 and a tilting frame 12. The support frame 11 is square-shaped and contains a hopper 13. The hopper 13 has an open inlet at the top and a narrowed outlet at the bottom. One side of the hopper 13 has a side notch. Bearing seats 14 are provided on both sides of the side notch on the support frame 11. Rotating shafts are installed in the bearing seats 14, and the two rotating shafts are fixedly connected to both sides of the tilting frame 12. The rotating shaft on one side is connected to the output end of the reducer 15 installed on the support frame 11. The reducer 15 is connected to the motor. The chain plate lifting conveyor 2 includes a conveyor frame 21 and a support bracket 22 for supporting the conveyor frame. A chain plate conveying mechanism is installed on the conveyor frame 21. The chain plate conveying mechanism includes a head sprocket 23 and a tail sprocket 24 set at both ends of the conveyor frame, as well as a surrounding plate chain. The tail of the plate chain is set below the discharge port. A turning and dispersing mechanism 25 and an air cooling mechanism 26 are arranged sequentially on the conveyor frame 21 along the conveying direction.

[0017] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped baffle 27 is provided above the mixing and dispersing mechanism 25 on the conveyor frame 21. Figure 3 As shown, the mixing and dispersing mechanism 25 includes a rotating rod 251 that is rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 21. Vertical rods 252 are spaced around the rotating rod 251, and a mixing shovel 253 is provided at the end of the vertical rods 252.

[0018] The air-cooling mechanism 26 includes a mounting frame that is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 21. The mounting frame includes two pairs of vertical fixed rods 261 that connect the two sides of the conveyor frame 21. The upper end of the fixed rods 261 is connected to a rectangular frame 262. The rectangular frame 262 is tilted upward along the conveying direction so that it forms a certain acute angle with the conveying direction. A fan 263 is vertically fixed on the rectangular frame 262.

[0019] like Figure 4As shown, the rotating shaft is fixed at the balance points on both sides of the tilting frame 12. The tilting frame 12 includes right-angled trapezoidal frames 121 on both sides. The diagonal waist bars of the right-angled trapezoidal frames 121 face outwards. Connecting rods are provided between the parallel bottom side bars on both sides and the right-angled waist bars. Horizontal and vertical reinforcing rods are provided inside the right-angled trapezoidal frames 121 to connect the two waist bars and the two bottom side bars. The granulated material is placed in the U-shaped hopper 3, which is fixed inside the square frame 31.

[0020] The specific working process is as follows: The moistened grits are first loaded into a U-shaped hopper 3, which is fixedly installed inside a square frame 31. Then, a forklift transports the entire square frame 31 and places it into the tilting frame 12 for secure placement, ensuring the hopper is stably positioned. The operator or control system starts the tilting machine 1; the motor drives the rotating shaft via a reducer 15, causing the tilting frame 12 to slowly rotate around its balance point. As the tilting angle gradually increases, the grits in the U-shaped hopper 3 are poured out and evenly fall into the hopper 13 located below.

[0021] The chain conveyor mechanism then starts, with the chain continuously lifting and advancing the material along the conveying direction to ensure the poured mash is smoothly transported to subsequent processes. When the mash passes the middle section of the conveyor frame 21, the turning and dispersing mechanism 25 on the conveyor frame 21 begins to work. The rotating rod 251 rotates under the drive, driving multiple turning shovels 253 to continuously move the material, causing the mash to be turned and loosened during the conveying process, preventing clumps from accumulating and ensuring that the material particles are dispersed. The mash continues to move along the conveying direction to the air-cooling mechanism 26 area. At this time, the fan 263 installed on the rectangular frame 262 continuously blows air onto the surface of the material, effectively removing the heat from the mash and gradually reducing its temperature to a suitable range. After turning and air-cooling, the mash is finally conveyed to the discharge end and enters the subsequent mash-making process, achieving continuous connection with the entire brewing production line.

[0022] Throughout the entire process, the grain-pouring device relies on the tilting machine 1 to automatically unload the grains, and the chain conveyor 2 to lift and transport the material. During transport, it also incorporates turning, mixing, and air cooling to ensure uniform dispersion and effective cooling of the material. This guarantees that the grains entering the next process are stable and uniform, thereby improving the continuity and stability of the baijiu brewing process. This not only solves the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency associated with traditional manual grain-pouring but also organically integrates with the conveying, turning, and cooling processes, achieving automation and standardization of grain-pouring and processing in the baijiu brewing process.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
