A grain moistening device for processing raw materials in liquor production

Abstract

This utility model relates to the technical field of raw material processing for liquor production, and particularly to a grain moistening device for processing raw materials for liquor production. The device includes a support frame, with a moistening box welded to the inner surface of the support frame. This grain moistening device uses a rotating agitator to flip the grain from the bottom to the top. A scraper optimizes the flipping and stirring operation of the agitator, reducing dead zones and preventing grain from sticking to the inner wall of the moistening box. Traditionally, water needs to be manually added and poured, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. During water addition, a temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix monitors the temperature and humidity of the sorghum. Because the sorghum is continuously flipped by the rotating agitator inside the moistening box, if any probe in the temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix detects insufficient humidity in a certain area of ​​the sorghum and requires further water addition, an electric slide can be controlled to move a spray nozzle to the designated area to add water, ensuring more even water absorption by the sorghum.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of raw material processing for liquor production, and in particular to a grain moistening device for processing raw materials for liquor production. Background Technology

[0002] The processing of raw materials for baijiu production mainly includes the following steps: Cleaning and impurity removal: The raw materials need to undergo strict cleaning and impurity removal to ensure that there is no mold or impurities, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent fermentation process. Crushing: The raw materials need to be crushed to improve the alcohol yield and saccharification effect. The degree of crushing needs to be moderate, so as to ensure that the raw materials can fully contact the microorganisms, while avoiding excessive fineness that would result in a rough liquor. Moistening: The crushed raw materials are mixed evenly with an appropriate amount of water. This process is called moistening. The most important and crucial step is moistening. During moistening, the sorghum absorbs water evenly, and the starch granules expand, laying the foundation for subsequent cooking and gelatinization. Sorghum that has fully and evenly absorbed water is easier to gelatinize during the cooking process, which can improve the alcohol yield and the quality of the liquor. Therefore, a moistening equipment for processing raw materials for baijiu production is needed.

[0003] Most existing grain-moistening equipment used for processing raw materials in baijiu production lacks scraper components in its stirring and turning slurry. As a result, the sorghum tends to stick to the inner wall after being moistened, making it difficult to clean. Damaged or uncleaned sorghum can affect the overall quality of the liquor. Furthermore, the water used for moistening is usually boiled water added manually, which can easily cause burns to workers. This process is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it cannot ensure that the sorghum fully absorbs the water, making it difficult to guarantee the yield and quality of the liquor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a grain moistening device for processing raw materials in baijiu production, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Most existing grain moistening devices for processing raw materials in baijiu production do not have scraper components when in use. As a result, after the sorghum is moistened, it is easy to stick to the inner wall and is difficult to clean. If it is damaged and not cleaned properly, it will affect the overall quality of the liquor. In addition, during the grain moistening process, water is usually added manually, which is boiling water. Workers are prone to scalding. Furthermore, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it cannot ensure that the sorghum fully absorbs water, making it difficult to guarantee the yield and quality of the liquor.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a grain moistening device for processing raw materials in liquor production, comprising a support frame, a grain moistening box welded to the inner surface of the support frame, a side baffle hinged to one side surface of the grain moistening box, a rotating handle fixedly connected to one side surface of the side baffle, a clamp fixedly connected to one side surface of the grain moistening box, a motor mounted on the upper surface of the support plate, a connecting rod fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft of the motor, a tilting stirring paddle fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod, and a scraper fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod.

[0006] Preferably, the rotating handle and the locking piece are engaged at the groove, and one side surface of the support plate is welded to the grain humidifier.

[0007] Preferably, one side surface of the scraper is in close contact with the inner wall of the grain humidifier.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the grain moistening box, an electric slide is installed on the upper surface of the fixing plate, a sliding member is slidably connected to the outer surface of the electric slide, a straight water spray head is fixedly connected to one side surface of the sliding member, a hose is installed on the upper surface of the straight water spray head, a water pump is installed at one end of the hose, a water storage tank is installed at the other end of the water pump, and a temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix is ​​installed on the inner wall surface of the grain moistening box. The grain moistening equipment for processing raw materials for liquor production according to claim 1 is characterized in that: the electric slide and the central axis of the grain moistening box are symmetrically arranged.

[0009] Preferably, the top surfaces of the water pump and the grain moistening tank are fixed, and the water pump is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the grain moistening tank.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This grain moistening equipment for processing raw materials in baijiu production uses a rotating stirring paddle to continuously turn the grain at the bottom to the top, while the scraper further optimizes the turning and stirring operation of the paddle, reducing dead corners and preventing the grain from sticking to the inner wall of the moistening tank. During the moistening process, boiling water needs to be poured into the grain pile from the top and continuously turned to ensure even water absorption. This usually requires manual water collection, pouring, and turning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, during the water addition process, a temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix monitors the temperature and humidity of the sorghum. Because the sorghum is continuously turned by the rotating stirring paddle inside the moistening tank, when any probe in the temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix detects that the humidity of a certain area of ​​sorghum is insufficient and water needs to be added, the electric slide can be controlled to move the spray nozzle to the designated area to add water, making the sorghum absorb water more evenly, thereby improving the alcohol yield and the quality of the liquor.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a grain moistening device for processing raw materials in liquor production, comprising a support frame 1 and a support plate 6. A grain moistening box 2 is welded to the inner surface of the support frame 1. A side baffle 3 is hinged to one side surface of the grain moistening box 2. A rotating handle 4 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the side baffle 3. A clamp 5 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the grain moistening box 2. A motor 7 is mounted on the upper surface of the support plate 6. A connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the output shaft of the motor 7. A tilting stirring paddle 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 8. A scraper 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 8. A fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the grain moistening box 2. An electric motor is mounted on the upper surface of the fixing plate 11. The sliding table 12 has a sliding member 13 slidably connected to its outer surface. A straight spray nozzle 14 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the sliding member 13. A hose 15 is installed on the upper surface of the straight spray nozzle 14. A water pump 16 is installed at one end of the hose 15, and a water storage tank 17 is installed at the other end of the water pump 16. A temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix 18 is installed on the inner wall surface of the grain moistening tank 2. Through the arrangement of the support frame 1, grain moistening tank 2, side baffle 3, rotating handle 4, clamp 5, support plate 6, motor 7, connecting rod 8, tilting stirring paddle 9, and scraper 10, in actual use, first rotate the two rotating handles 4 above the side baffle 3 to turn the two rotating handles 4 out. The engagement range of the clip 5 is adjusted, and the side baffle 3 is flipped upwards. At this time, the raw materials for liquor production, such as crushed sorghum, are placed into the grain moistening tank 2. Then, the motor 7 is turned on. The rotation of the motor 7 drives the connecting rod 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the tumbling stirring paddle 9 and scraper 10 on the connecting rod 8 to rotate. The tumbling stirring paddle 9 continuously flips the grain at the bottom to the top, while the scraper 10 further optimizes the tumbling stirring operation of the tumbling stirring paddle 9, reduces the dead corners of the tumbling stirring paddle 9, and prevents the grain from sticking to the inner wall of the grain moistening tank 2. The design of the fixed plate 11, electric slide 12, sliding part 13, straight water spray head 14, hose 15, water pump 16, water storage tank 17 and temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix 18 is also included. In actual use, firstly, boiled hot water is poured into the water storage tank 17, and the water pump 16 is turned on. The water pump 16 delivers the hot water to the spray nozzle 14 through the hose 15. Then, the electric slide 12 drives the spray nozzle 14 on the sliding part 13 to add water to the sorghum in the grain moistening tank 2. During the water addition process, the temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix 18 monitors the temperature and humidity of the sorghum. Because the sorghum is constantly turned over in the grain moistening tank 2 by the action of the turning and stirring paddle 9, when any probe in the temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix 18 detects that the humidity of a certain area of ​​sorghum is insufficient and water needs to be added, the electric slide 12 can be controlled to drive the spray nozzle 14 to the designated place to add water.

[0018] Furthermore, the handle 4 and the clip 5 are engaged in the groove, and one side surface of the support plate 6 is welded to the grain grease box 2. The setting of the handle 4 makes it easier and faster to open the side baffle 3.

[0019] Furthermore, one side surface of the scraper 10 is in close contact with the inner wall of the grain moistening box 2. The scraper 10 is designed to better scrape off the sorghum adhering to the inner wall surface of the grain moistening box 2.

[0020] Furthermore, the electric slide table 12 and the central axis of the grain grease box 2 are symmetrically arranged. By setting the electric slide table 12, the distance for a single electric slide table 12 to execute commands is shortened, making the electric slide table 12 more efficient and faster in actual use.

[0021] Furthermore, the top surface of the water pump 16 and the grain moistening tank 2 is fixed. The water pump 16 is symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the grain moistening tank 2. The arrangement of the water pump 16 makes the fixation more secure and the operation more stable.

[0022] Working principle: First, rotate the two rotating handles 4 above the side baffle 3 to move them out of the engagement range of the locking piece 5, and flip the side baffle 3 upwards. At this time, put the raw materials for liquor production, such as crushed sorghum, into the grain humidifying tank 2. Pour boiling water into the water storage tank 17, turn on the water pump 16, and the water pump 16 delivers the hot water to the spray nozzle 14 through the hose 15. Then, the electric slide 12 drives the spray nozzle 14 on the sliding piece 13 to add water to the sorghum in the grain humidifying tank 2. During the water addition process, the temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix 18 monitors the temperature and humidity of the sorghum, as the sorghum is in the humidifying tank. The grain bin 2 continuously rotates under the action of the rotating stirring paddle 9. When any probe in the temperature and humidity monitoring probe matrix 18 detects that the humidity of the sorghum in a certain area is insufficient and water needs to be added, the electric slide table 12 can be controlled to move the water spray head 14 to the designated place to add water. Then the motor 7 is turned on. At this time, the rotation of the motor 7 drives the connecting rod 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating stirring paddle 9 and scraper 10 on the connecting rod 8 to rotate. The rotating stirring paddle 9 continuously rotates the grain at the bottom to the top, while the scraper 10 better optimizes the rotating stirring operation of the rotating stirring paddle 9, reduces the dead corners of the rotating stirring paddle 9, and prevents the grain from sticking to the inner wall of the grain bin 2.

[0023] 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.
