Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of liquor brewing equipment, and in particular to a reciprocating cooling machine for yeast. Background Technology
[0002] A yeast cooling machine is a specialized piece of equipment used in brewing processes. Its core function is to spread the yeast evenly on a cooling bed before fermentation for cooling. It quickly and evenly spreads and cools the steamed or boiled high-temperature yeast (i.e., the brewing starter) to a suitable low temperature for microbial fermentation (usually around 30°C). Through mechanical conveying, turning, and forced ventilation (or water cooling), it efficiently replaces traditional manual cooling, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and precisely controlling the cooling rate and temperature to avoid contamination by other microorganisms. This ensures the activity and stability of the microorganisms in the yeast, thereby improving yeast quality and subsequent fermentation effects.
[0003] However, existing equipment often encounters the following problems during use:
[0004] In traditional cooling machine designs, the automatic cooling mechanism mounted on the cooling bed can only flatten in the front-to-back direction. This single flattening direction will cause the yeast to not completely fill the entire machine bed, resulting in the yeast being too concentrated and causing uneven drying. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a reciprocating yeast cooling machine to effectively solve the problem mentioned in the background art. In existing traditional cooling machine designs, the automatic cooling mechanism mounted on the cooling bed can only flatten in the front-to-back direction. This single flattening direction leads to the yeast not being able to completely fill the entire machine bed, resulting in the yeast being too concentrated and causing uneven drying. This invention's design uses a cam whose protruding end contacts the rolling wheel, pushing the reset housing away from the rotating shaft, stretching the spring. When the flat end of the cam contacts the rolling wheel, the spring resets, causing the reset housing to move closer to the rotating shaft, realizing the reciprocating motion of the transmission rod. This reciprocating transmission rod, while rotating and flattening the yeast, allows the yeast to be flattened both front-to-back and evenly spread in the lateral direction, solving the problem of uneven drying caused by the traditional cooling method's limitation of only front-to-back flattening.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A reciprocating cooling machine for yeast starter, comprising:
[0008] Cooling machine tool,
[0009] The slide rails are provided in two sets, and the two sets of slide rails are distributed on both sides of the cooling machine tool.
[0010] The sliding component is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the slide rail, and each sliding component is installed on the slide rail and is slidably connected to the slide rail.
[0011] A fixing bracket is disposed on one side of the sliding member at any point;
[0012] A rotating shaft, the top end of which is movably connected to the fixed frame;
[0013] A cam, which is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the rotating shaft;
[0014] A reset assembly is disposed on one side of any of the sliding members. The reset assembly includes a reset housing, a guide rod, a roller, and a spring. The reset housing is linearly displaceable on the side of the fixed frame via the guide rod. Two sets of guide rods are provided, arranged vertically. The roller is movably mounted on the side of the reset housing adjacent to the cam. The roller is located between the two sets of guide rods. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the flange at the top of the fixed frame and the flange at the top of the reset housing.
[0015] Also includes:
[0016] A leveling actuator, located on the cooling machine, includes a leveling motor, a drive gear, a transmission gear, a transmission rod, and leveling plates. The leveling motor is longitudinally fixed to one side of the reset housing. The output end of the leveling motor is connected to the drive gear, which meshes with the transmission gear. The transmission gear is axially fixed to one end of the transmission rod. One end of the transmission rod passes through the fixed frame and a sliding member. A set of leveling plates is provided on the shaft of the transmission rod, and the leveling plates are axially evenly distributed along the shaft of the transmission rod.
[0017] A fixed rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to another sliding member, and a transmission rod sleeved on the body of the fixed rod.
[0018] Also includes:
[0019] A drive mechanism is mounted on one side of the cooling machine tool. The drive mechanism includes a reciprocating motor, a transmission belt, and a transmission wheel. The reciprocating motor is mounted on one side of the fixed frame. The transmission wheel is mounted on the bottom end of the rotating shaft. One end of the transmission belt is sleeved on the transmission wheel, and the other end of the transmission belt is sleeved on the output end of the reciprocating motor. The central shaft of the transmission wheel is fixed to the rotating shaft.
[0020] The rolling wheel is in contact with the side wheel surface of the cam.
[0021] The reset housing and the fixing frame form a sliding pair via a guide rod.
[0022] The central axis of the rolling wheel is perpendicular to and parallel to the plane of rotation of the cam.
[0023] The transmission gear and the drive gear are in a perpendicular position.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the protruding end of the cam contacts the rolling wheel, it pushes the reset housing away from the rotating shaft in a straight line, and the spring is stretched; when the flat end of the cam contacts the rolling wheel, the spring resets and drives the reset housing to approach the rotating shaft, realizing the reciprocating motion of the transmission rod; when the reciprocating transmission rod rotates and flattens the yeast, it can make the yeast flattened in the front and back, and also spread evenly in the lateral direction, which solves the problem of uneven drying effect caused by the traditional cooling method that can only flatten in the front and back.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a reciprocating cooling yeast starter, which includes a cooling machine tool 1, a slide rail 2, a sliding component 3, a fixed frame 4, a rotating shaft 5, a cam 6, a reset assembly 7, a reset housing 71, a guide rod 72, a rolling wheel 73, and a spring 74.
[0034] Two sets of slide rails 2 are provided, distributed on both sides of the cooling machine tool 1, providing the movement trajectory of the sliding parts 3. The sliding parts 3 can expand the flattening range to the entire machine tool. The number of sliding parts 3 corresponds one-to-one with the slide rails 2. Each sliding part 3 is installed on the slide rail 2 and is slidably connected to the slide rail 2. The fixing frame 4 is set on one side of any sliding part 3. By connecting with the sliding part 3, it provides stable support, so that other dynamic components such as the rotating shaft 5 can cooperate with it to stably drive the movement of the entire device.
[0035] In this invention, the top end of the rotating shaft 5 is movably connected to the fixed frame 4. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates, it drives the cam 6 to rotate. Its design ensures that mechanical power is transmitted from the motor to the specific execution link of the cooling process, causing the system to produce reciprocating motion. The cam 6 is fixedly set on the shaft body of the rotating shaft 5. The cam 6 contacts the rolling wheel 73 of the reset housing 71, and drives the rolling wheel 73 during the rotation of the rotating shaft 5, thereby affecting the displacement of the reset housing 71, and then driving the transmission rod 84 in the flattening execution mechanism 8.
[0036] In this utility model, the reset assembly 7 is disposed on one side of any sliding member 3. The reset assembly 7 includes a reset housing 71, a guide rod 72, a rolling wheel 73, and a spring 74. The reset housing 71 is linearly displaceable on the side of the fixed frame 4 via the guide rod 72. There are two sets of guide rods 72, which are arranged vertically. The rolling wheel 73 is movably installed on the adjacent side of the reset housing 71 and the cam 6. The reset housing 71 and the fixed frame 4 form a sliding pair through the guide rod 72. The rolling wheel 73 is located between the two sets of guide rods 72. The rolling wheel 73 is in contact with the side wheel surface of the cam 6. The central axis of the rolling wheel 73 is perpendicular to and parallel to the rotation plane of the cam 6. The two ends of the spring 74 are respectively connected to the flange at the top of the fixed frame 4 and the flange at the top of the reset housing 71.
[0037] In this invention, the reset component 7 functions to reset the device. When the rotating shaft 5 rotates and drives the cam 6, the rolling wheel 73 contacts the protruding end of the cam 6, thereby changing the position of the reset housing 71. When the cam 6 rotates to its flat end, the spring 74 pulls the reset housing 71 back to its original position, resetting the entire system and ensuring that the displacement of the yeast cooling mechanism returns to its original state.
[0038] In this utility model, the flattening actuator 8 is located on the cooling machine tool 1 and includes a drive gear 82, a transmission gear 83, a transmission rod 84 and a flattening plate 85. The flattening motor (81) is longitudinally fixedly installed on one side of the reset housing 71. The output end of the flattening motor (81) is connected to the drive gear 82. The drive gear 82 meshes with the transmission gear 83. The transmission gear 83 is axially fixed to one end of the transmission rod 84. The transmission gear 83 and the drive gear 82 are in a perpendicular position relationship. One end of the transmission rod 84 passes through the fixed frame 4 and a sliding member 3. The rod body of the transmission rod 84 is provided with a set of flattening plates 85. The flattening plates 85 are axially evenly distributed on the rod body of the transmission rod 84. One end of the fixed rod 9 is fixedly connected to another sliding member 3. The transmission rod 84 is sleeved on the rod body of the fixed rod 9. The drive mechanism 10 is mounted on one side of the cooling machine tool 1. The drive mechanism 10 includes a reciprocating motor 101, a transmission belt 102 and a transmission wheel 103. The reciprocating motor 101 is mounted on one side of the fixed frame 4. The transmission wheel 103 is mounted on the bottom end of the rotating shaft 5. One end of the transmission belt 102 is sleeved on the transmission wheel 103, and the other end of the transmission belt 102 is sleeved on the output end of the reciprocating motor 101. The rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the transmission wheel 103.
[0039] It should be noted that, in use, the reciprocating cooling yeast machine designed in this utility model involves starting the reciprocating motor 101. The output end of the reciprocating motor 101 rotates, driving the transmission belt 102. The transmission belt 102 rotates, driving the transmission wheel 103. The transmission wheel 103 rotates, driving the rotating shaft 5 of the central shaft of the transmission wheel 103. The shaft 5 rotates, driving the cam 6 to rotate. When the protruding end of the cam 6 rotates to the direction of the reset shell, the protruding end of the cam 6 abuts against the rolling wheel 73 that is in contact with its side wheel surface, causing the rolling wheel 73 to move away from the shaft 5. The movement of the rolling wheel 73 away means that the reset shell, which supports it, will also move away from the shaft 5 in a straight line due to the guidance of the guide rod 72. The transmission rod 84 at the top of the reset shell will also be pulled away from the shaft. When the flatter end of the cam 6 rotates to the direction of the reset shell... When the pressure of the protruding end is lost, the spring 74, which was originally pulled by the tension of the protruding end, will reset and drive the reset housing 71 to push the transmission rod 84 close to the shaft of the rotating shaft 5 to achieve reset. The continuous rotation of the rotating shaft 5 will cause the protruding end and the flat end of the cam 6 to contact the rolling wheel 73 on one side of the reset housing 71, which will form the reciprocating motion of the transmission rod 84. At this time, the flattening motor (81) installed longitudinally on one side of the reset housing is started. The output end of the motor rotates and drives the drive gear 82. The drive gear 82 rotates and drives the transmission gear 83 that meshes with it. The rotation of the transmission gear 83 will drive the transmission rod 84 to rotate axially. The rotation of the transmission rod 84 will drive a set of flattening plates 85 on the shaft to rotate and flatten the pile of yeast in the cooling machine tool 1. The rotation of the transmission rod 84, combined with the reciprocating motion, can help the yeast to be flattened at the front and back and then flattened to the sides.
