Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquor production technology, specifically to a liquor ripening device for liquor production. Background Technology
[0002] The core objective of "accelerated aging" or "artificial aging" techniques for baijiu is to relatively controllably accelerate the natural process of transforming newly brewed baijiu (new liquor) into aged baijiu (old liquor) with a mellow taste and harmonious aroma, while ensuring food safety and basic flavor characteristics. This involves adding substances such as amino acids, peptides, and nucleotides released after yeast cells undergo autolysis to the new liquor. These substances are flavor components themselves and may also participate in flavor formation during the aging process as reactants or catalysts.
[0003] However, some existing baijiu ripening devices do not allow for thorough mixing of the internal mixture after adding yeast, resulting in low ripening efficiency and affecting the efficiency of baijiu production. To address this issue, we propose a baijiu ripening device for baijiu production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a baijiu (Chinese liquor) ripening device for baijiu production, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When using this utility model, the fermented liquor is added to the ripening tank through the feeding hopper. After natural fermentation for a certain period of time, ripening yeast is added through the filling port. The ripening yeast enters the ripening tank through the limiting block and the conveying chamber in the connecting pipe. When it is necessary to mix it thoroughly, the motor is started. The motor drives the drive gear to rotate, the drive gear drives the driven gear to rotate, the driven gear drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the disc to rotate.

Example
[0016] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a baijiu (Chinese liquor) ripening device for baijiu production, including a ripening tank 1. A positioning rod 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the ripening tank 1. A vertical rod 3 is slidably sleeved on the top of the positioning rod 2. Multiple horizontal plates 4 are rotatably connected to both sides of the vertical rod 3 via hinges. Four connecting pipes 5 are passed through the side wall of the ripening tank 1. A vertical plate 8 is slidably connected to the outer side of two corresponding connecting pipes 5. The other side of the horizontal plate 4 is rotatably connected to the vertical plate 8 via a hinge. A limiting block 6 is fixedly connected to the inner end of the connecting pipe 5. A spring 9 is fixedly connected between the limiting block 6 and the vertical plate 8. The spring 9 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the connecting pipe 5. A conveying cavity 7 is opened inside both the limiting block 6 and the connecting pipe 5. The outer end of the connecting pipe 5 is inclined upward and connected to a filling port 18. In use, baijiu fermentation material is added into the ripening tank 1 through the feeding hopper 20. After natural fermentation for a certain period of time... Afterwards, ripening yeast is added through the filling port 18. The ripening yeast enters the ripening tank 1 through the limiting block 6 and the conveying chamber 7 in the connecting pipe 5. When it is necessary to mix it thoroughly, the motor 11 is started. The motor 11 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate, the drive gear 12 drives the driven gear 14 to rotate, the driven gear 14 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 13 drives the disc 15 to rotate. The disc 15 rotates one revolution, and through the cooperation of the pin 17 and the connecting block 16, it drives the vertical rod 3 to slide upward first and then return to its original position. During the upward movement of the vertical rod 3, it drives the horizontal plate 4 to pull in an oblique upward direction. The horizontal plate 4 moves up and down, thereby driving the mixture in the ripening tank 1 to mix up and down. Under the action of the pulling force, the horizontal plate 4 drives the vertical plate 8 to slide inward outside the connecting pipe 5, thereby driving the mixture in the ripening tank 1 to mix left and right, thus greatly improving the mixing efficiency and the ripening efficiency.
[0017] In this embodiment, specifically: the top of the vertical rod 3 extends to the outside of the ripening tank 1 and is fixedly connected to the connecting block 16, and the vertical rod 3 is slidably connected to the ripening tank 1; In this embodiment, specifically: a fixing plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the ripening tank 1, a motor 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing plate 10, the output shaft of the motor 11 extends to the left side of the fixing plate 10 and is fixedly connected to the drive gear 12, and the output shaft of the motor 11 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 10 through a bearing. In this embodiment, specifically: a rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the left side of the fixed plate 10 via a bearing, and a driven gear 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft 13, and the driven gear 14 meshes with the driving gear 12; In this embodiment, specifically: a disc 15 is fixedly connected to the left end of the rotating shaft 13, a pin 17 is fixedly connected to the left side of the disc 15, and the connecting block 16 is rotatably connected to the pin 17. In this embodiment, specifically: a discharge valve 19 is provided on the right side of the ripening tank 1; In this embodiment, specifically: a feed hopper 20 is provided on the left side of the ripening tank 1.
[0018] In operation, this invention works as follows: During use, the fermented liquor is added to the ripening tank 1 via the feed hopper 20. After natural fermentation for a certain period, ripening yeast is added through the filling port 18. The ripening yeast enters the ripening tank 1 through the limiting block 6 and the conveying chamber 7 within the connecting pipe 5. When thorough mixing is required, the motor 11 is started. The motor 11 drives the drive gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 14 to rotate. The driven gear 14 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the disc 15 to rotate. Each rotation of the disc 15, through the cooperation of the pin 17 and the connecting block 16, causes the vertical rod 3 to slide upwards and then return to its original position. The upward movement of the vertical rod 3 pulls the horizontal plate 4 diagonally upwards, causing it to move up and down, thus mixing the mixture in the ripening tank 1 vertically. Under the pulling force, the horizontal plate 4 causes the vertical plate 8 to slide inwards from the outside of the connecting pipe 5, thus mixing the mixture in the ripening tank 1 horizontally, greatly improving the mixing efficiency and ripening efficiency.
