Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fermented grain cooling machines, specifically to a fermented grain cooling machine that facilitates heat dissipation from both top and bottom. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor), cooling the lees is a crucial step, aiming to rapidly lower the temperature of the lees after steaming and cooking to a suitable fermentation temperature. Traditional manual cooling methods suffer from high labor intensity, low efficiency, and susceptibility to environmental factors; furthermore, excessive inhalation of the alcohol volatilized from the lees can harm human health. Therefore, the lees cooling process is gradually evolving towards mechanization and automation, using air cooling or other methods to cool the lees and improve cooling efficiency.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN222948316U discloses a cooling machine for baijiu brewing, which includes "controlling the output shaft of a servo motor to rotate via an external power source, thereby rotating a collection device and a covering device, causing the lees piled inside the collection device and the covering device to rotate, so that both the upper and lower sides of the lees pile can be cooled. This device has a simple structure and strong practicality. After the lees pile is installed, it can be controlled to rotate, improving the uniformity of cooling of the lees pile by wind power, so that the lees pile is cooled sufficiently and the cooling efficiency is high." However, when the amount of lees inside the collection device is small, the rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor to drive the collection device and the covering device to rotate will cause the lees to accumulate to one side of the collection device under the influence of gravity, thus affecting the cooling efficiency. Furthermore, when the amount of lees inside the collection device is large, the lees will squeeze each other, resulting in a smaller space between the lees, which will hinder air circulation and heat dissipation, thus slowing down the cooling speed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lees cooling machine that facilitates heat dissipation from both top and bottom, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lees cooling machine for convenient top and bottom heat dissipation, comprising a support base, with first mounting brackets installed at both ends of the support base, a first power supply installed at the top center of the first mounting bracket, first wires installed on both sides of the first power supply, and a first fan installed on both sides of one end of the first mounting bracket. A second mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top two sides of the support base, with a second power supply installed at the top center of the second mounting bracket, second wires installed on both sides of the second power supply, and a second fan installed on both sides of the top of the second mounting bracket. A flipping assembly is provided at the middle of both ends of the top of the support base.

[0006] The flipping assembly includes fixed blocks fixedly connected to the middle of both ends of the support base. A housing is installed between the fixed blocks. A threaded rod is horizontally installed through the inner side of the housing. One end of the threaded rod is connected to a servo motor. A threaded collar is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the threaded collar. Mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the lower sides of both sides of the connecting block. A flipping rake is bolted to the bottom of the connecting block.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the first fan can carry out the corresponding cooling and heat dissipation process on the upper and lower parts of the lees, thereby effectively improving the cooling effect of the lees, saving the time required for cooling, and improving work efficiency. In addition, the turning component can turn the lees back and forth, allowing the internal high temperature to be released, while increasing the contact area with air, accelerating heat dissipation, making the overall cooling of the lees more uniform and efficient, avoiding local excessively high or low temperatures from affecting subsequent fermentation, and preventing the lees from sticking and clumping due to uneven moisture distribution, maintaining its loose state, improving air permeability, reducing the risk of bacterial growth, thereby effectively improving heat dissipation efficiency and resulting in better product quality.

[0008] To effectively cool the lower part of the distiller's grains:

[0009] The configuration is further defined as follows: the first fan is electrically connected to the first power source via a first wire, and the first fan is configured to be tilted.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the first fan can be started by the first power source, thereby cooling the lower part of the mash. Furthermore, the tilted placement of the first fan can prevent water from entering the interior, reducing the risk of damage to the first fan.

[0011] To effectively cool the upper part of the distiller's grains:

[0012] Further configuration: The second fan is electrically connected to the second power source via the second power source.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the second fan can be started by the second power source, thereby cooling the upper part of the lees and effectively improving the cooling effect of the lees.

[0014] To achieve better cooling effect:

[0015] Further configuration: the servo motor and the threaded rod form a rotating structure, and the lower outer side of the outer shell is provided with a slot that matches the external dimensions of the connecting block. The threaded rod and the threaded collar form a linkage structure through the cooperation of the connecting block and the slot. At the same time, the top of the turning rake and the mounting block are both provided with mounting holes.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the output shaft of the servo motor can drive the threaded rod to rotate, thereby causing the threaded collar to move horizontally under the limiting action of the connecting block and the groove. This, in turn, can drive the turning rake to move horizontally, thus turning the lees and allowing them to cool down more thoroughly. This reduces the time required for cooling and effectively improves the cooling effect and efficiency. Furthermore, the turning rake can be disassembled for cleaning.

[0017] To ensure that the lees can be effectively placed during the cooling process:

[0018] The support base is further configured such that a slot is provided at the top, a filter screen is installed on the lower inner side of the slot, and a mesh cloth is installed on the top of the filter screen.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the lees can be placed on the mesh cloth without leakage, and at the same time, the corresponding cooling work can be carried out.

[0020] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The computer software involved in the hardware carriers such as the geared motor in the technical solution is software technology known to those skilled in the art. It is merely applied to the aforementioned hardware carriers. In other words, the computer software portion of the technical solution is an essential technical feature for solving the aforementioned technical problem, constituting a necessary technical feature for the technical problem solved by this application, but it is not a differentiating technical feature or a point of technical improvement. The applicant has not made any technical improvements to the computer software portion involved in the aforementioned related hardware carriers, nor is it a key technical point of the invention.

[0032] Therefore, the "gear motor", "first power supply", "second power supply" and other components involved in this application are physical functional modules that combine computer software programs or protocols in the prior art with the hardware carrier of this application.
