AI Technical Summary
During the brewing process of highland barley wine, when using a crane grab bucket to transfer the mash, the mechanical force may damage the loose structure of the mash, leading to particle breakage, reduced air permeability, and affecting saccharification and aroma production. Furthermore, poor air circulation may cause heat accumulation, resulting in localized overheating or even burning of the mash.
The bottom-opening stainless steel temporary storage hopper is designed with a movable plate rotating on the upper side of the hopper body and casters on the lower side of the bottom plate. The hopper is transferred without compression through a hoisting device and a limiting component, ensuring the looseness of the mash. The vertical plate and the lifting ring work together to achieve rapid discharge and avoid mechanical damage.
It effectively maintains the loose structure of the mash, improves air permeability, promotes uniform growth of microorganisms, avoids heat accumulation, and ensures the stability of the quality and yield of the liquor.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highland barley wine brewing technology, specifically a bottom-opening stainless steel temporary storage hopper suitable for highland barley wine brewing. Background Technology
[0002] The production of highland barley wine involves a series of processes, including crushing raw grains, moistening grains, steaming grains, fermentation, and distillation. Each step is interconnected, and if a problem occurs in any one of these steps, it will affect the quality and yield of the liquor.
[0003] When transporting fermented mash, a crane grab bucket is generally used to grab it. The mechanical force of the grab bucket may damage the loose structure of the mash, causing the particles to break and compact, reducing air permeability. Reduced air permeability will inhibit its growth and metabolism, affecting saccharification or aroma production. Poor air circulation may lead to heat accumulation, causing local overheating, or even burning of the mash (high temperature kills microorganisms).
[0004] Based on the above problems, there may already be technical means in the current technology to solve the above technical solutions. This case aims to provide an alternative or replacement technical means. Utility Model Content
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a bottom-opening stainless steel temporary storage hopper suitable for barley wine brewing, comprising a hopper body, a pair of corresponding vertical plates provided on the upper side of the hopper body, a pair of corresponding movable plates rotatably connected to the upper side of the hopper body, a protective frame provided on the outer side of the hopper body, a pair of corresponding connecting seats welded to the lower side of the protective frame, and a fixed shaft provided on the connecting seats;
[0006] The fixed shaft is rotatably connected to the first base plate and the second base plate respectively. The first base plate and the second base plate are each provided with a moving wheel on their lower side. The protective frame is provided with reinforcing rods on all four sides. The reinforcing rods are provided with limiting components, and the limiting components are inserted into the limiting components.
[0007] In the above scheme: the limiting component includes a main rod that is inserted into the limiting member, a handle is provided on the upper side of the main rod, and a limiting rod is provided on the lower side of the main rod.
[0008] In the above scheme: a limit ring is provided on the handle.
[0009] In the above scheme: a connecting hole is provided on the upper side of the vertical plate, a lifting ring is inserted into the connecting hole, and a connecting rope is provided on the upper side of the lifting ring.
[0010] In the above scheme: the limiting rod and the handle are evenly and perpendicularly arranged to the main body.
[0011] This utility model provides a bottom-opening stainless steel temporary storage hopper suitable for barley wine brewing, which has the following beneficial effects: By setting a bottom-opening stainless steel temporary storage hopper, this technical solution can avoid external force squeezing the mash during use, and can play a good role in loosening. In the process of barley wine brewing, the amount of clumping will directly affect the steaming of grains and the later fermentation. Loose mash is not only conducive to steaming grains, but also of great significance to fermentation. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0019] Example
[0020] Please see Figures 1-5 A bottom-opening stainless steel temporary storage hopper suitable for barley wine brewing includes a hopper body 1, a pair of corresponding vertical plates 2 on the upper side of the hopper body 1, a pair of corresponding movable plates 3 rotatably connected to the upper side of the hopper body 1, a protective frame 4 on the outer side of the hopper body 1, a pair of corresponding connecting seats 5 welded to the lower side of the protective frame 4, and a fixed shaft 6 on the connecting seat 5.
[0021] The fixed shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the first base plate 7 and the second base plate 8 respectively. The first base plate 7 and the second base plate 8 are both provided with moving wheels 9. The protective frame 4 is provided with reinforcing rods 10 on all four sides. The reinforcing rods 10 are provided with limiting parts 11, and the limiting parts 11 are inserted with limiting components.
[0022] The limiting assembly includes a main rod 12 that is inserted into the limiting member 11. A handle 13 is provided on the upper side of the main rod 12, and a limiting rod 14 is provided on the lower side of the main rod 12.
[0023] It should be noted that in this technical solution, the hopper body 1 is made of stainless steel, which has the characteristics of high strength and corrosion resistance, thereby increasing the transfer effect of mash. During operation, mash can be put into the hopper body 1. A pair of movable plates 3 are rotatably connected to the upper side of the hopper body 1, which can increase the upper area of ββthe hopper body 1, thereby facilitating the entry of mash into the hopper body 1.
[0024] After the mash enters the hopper body 1, the hopper body 1 can be moved by the moving wheels 9 on the lower side of the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 8. After reaching the designated position, the hopper body 1 can be lifted by using the lifting ring 16 connected to the vertical plate 2 and the connecting rope in conjunction with the lifting device.
[0025] At this time, the operator uses handle 13 to rotate the main rod 12 and the limiting rod 14, so that the limiting rod 14 is misaligned with the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 8. At this time, the mash inside the hopper body 1 is squeezed, the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 8 will open, and then the mash will be quickly discharged through the first bottom plate 7 and the second bottom plate 8.
[0026] The design of the temporary storage hopper can mix mash from different batches or regions, reducing component fluctuations and avoiding uneven fermentation caused by raw material stratification (such as concentrated rice husks). This makes indicators such as moisture, acidity, and starch concentration more uniform, which is conducive to the balanced growth of microorganisms.
[0027] A limit ring 15 is provided on the handle 13 to increase the ease of use of the handle 13.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
