Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of winemaking technology, and in particular to a lifting and rotating sprinkling feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional baijiu brewing, the loading of the mash into the still is a crucial step affecting distillation efficiency and liquor quality. Currently, most distilleries still use manual loading of the mash, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and the evenness of the loading depends on the worker's experience, easily leading to uneven accumulation of the mash in the still, affecting steam penetration and distillation results.

[0003] To improve the efficiency of feeding fermented mash, mechanical feeding equipment for fermented mash has appeared on the market. For example, Chinese patent publication number CN107325945A discloses a fully automatic feeding system with four feeding machines.

[0025] The following examples provide a more detailed description of the features and other related characteristics of this utility model, to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a liftable rotating and sprinkling feeding device.

[0027] A liftable rotary sprinkling feeding device includes a frame 1 and a rotary sprinkling device 2 for sprinkling mash into a still 51. The bottom of the rotary sprinkling device 2 is equipped with a height sensor 31 for detecting the mash height in the still 51 and a leveling comb 3.

This ensures that the sprinkling position is always optimal and that the leveling comb 3 can loosen and level the top of the mash pile, preventing the leveling comb 3 from deeply penetrating and causing excessive agitation in the mash pile.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the rotating spraying device 2 includes a bracket 21 and a hopper 22 mounted on the bracket 21. A conveyor 23 is provided at the discharge port at the bottom of the hopper 22. The bracket 21 is fixedly connected to a motor bracket 212 via a vertical connecting rod 211. A first motor 213 is provided on the motor bracket 212. The output end of the first motor 213 is connected to the conveyor 23 for transmission. The first motor 213 is used to drive the conveyor 23 to rotate. The lifting device 4 is connected to the bracket 21 for transmission.

[0029] The motor bracket 212 is located above the hopper 22. The output end of the first motor 213 is equipped with a vertical transmission rod 214 that extends through the hopper 22. The bottom of the transmission rod 214 is connected to the conveyor 23 for transmission. Figure 4 As shown, the transmission rod 214 is equipped with a disturbance rod 215 for breaking up the mash in the feed hopper 22 to prevent the mash from clumping and affecting the distillation effect.

[0030] A rotating disk 24 is located below the feeding hopper 22. The rotating disk 24 is equipped with a third motor 241. The output end of the third motor 241 is connected to the conveyor 23. The third motor 241 drives the conveyor to move radially along the still 51. The bottom of the transmission rod 214 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 24. The third motor 241 drives the conveyor 23 to move radially along the still 51, cooperating with the first motor 213 to drive the conveyor 23 to rotate. This allows the conveyor 23 to evenly distribute the fermented mash from the center of the still 51 outwards, achieving a better feeding effect.

[0031] Specifically, the conveyor 23 includes a housing 231 and a belt conveyor component 232 installed inside the housing 231. A rack 242 is provided on the outer side of the housing 231, and the extension direction of the rack 242 is consistent with the direction in which the conveyor 23 conveys the mash. The third motor 241 is provided with a gear 243 for meshing and driving with the rack 242. The leveling comb 3 is installed at the bottom of the housing 231 through a first connecting member 32.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown, the bottom of the transmission rod 214 is connected to the rotating disk 24. A guide rod 233 is provided on the outer side of the housing 231, extending in the same direction as the conveyor 23 transports the mash. The guide rod 233 is fixedly connected to the housing 231 via a mounting base 235. The rotating disk 24 is provided with a guide seat 234 that is movably connected to the guide rod 233. The guide rod 233 and guide seat 234 are used to strengthen the connection between the rotating disk and the conveyor 23, enabling the conveyor 23 to rotate more stably.

[0033] The discharge end of the conveyor 23 is equipped with a dispersing roller 236, and the housing 231 is equipped with a drive component 237 that is connected to the dispersing roller 236. The drive component 237 is used to drive the dispersing roller 236 to rotate, further dispersing and scattering the mash.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the lifting device 4 includes a second motor 41, a chain 42, and a lifting bracket 43 for connecting to the bracket 21. Both ends of the chain 42 are fixedly connected to the lifting bracket 43 to form a vertically arranged closed loop structure. The two ends of the closed loop structure are respectively meshed with a drive gear 44 and a driven wheel 45. The second motor 41 is used to drive the drive gear 44 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting bracket 43 and the bracket 21 to rise and fall. The drive gear 44 and the driven wheel 45 are connected to the frame 1 through a connecting assembly.

[0035] The front end of the lifting bracket 43 is connected to the bracket 21. The lifting device 4 is equipped with two chains 42.

A hub bearing 452 is provided at the center of the driven wheel 45 for connecting to the second connecting rod 451, and the second connecting rod 451 is connected to the frame 1 via a fixed seat.

[0037] The lifting device 4 adopts a chain 42 transmission structure, preferably a double chain 42 design. The second motor 41 drives the drive gear 44 to drive the lifting bracket 43 and the support 21. With the help of the drive wheel, driven wheel 45 and connecting rod, the lifting process is stable and reliable.

[0038] In this embodiment, the liftable rotating and sprinkling feeding device also includes a hopper 52 and a conveyor belt 53 for conveying the mash in the hopper 52 to the top of the hopper 22.

[0039] The process of distributing fermented mash to the still 51 in this invention is as follows: First, fermented mash is fed to the top of the lower hopper 22. The first motor 213 drives the disrupting rod 215 to disperse the fermented mash in the lower hopper 22. Then, the fermented mash falls onto the conveyor 23, which transports it to the dispersing roller 236, which further disperses and distributes the fermented mash. During this process, the first motor 213 drives the conveyor 23 to rotate, and the third motor 241 moves the conveyor 23 radially along the still 51, enabling the conveyor 23 to evenly distribute the fermented mash from the center of the still 51 outwards. The even distribution comb 3 rotates with the conveyor 23, effectively loosening and leveling the fermented mash in the still 51, preventing local accumulation or leakage of the fermented mash. The height sensor 31 detects the height of the mash accumulation in the still 51 in real time and links with the lifting device 4 to adjust the position height to ensure that the scattering position is always in the optimal state.
