Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alcoholic beverage preparation technology, specifically to a device for clamping Daqu samples from a stack of Daqu. Background Technology

[0002] Daqu is the saccharification and fermentation agent in baijiu brewing, and its quality directly affects the flavor and quality of the raw liquor. After being made into brick-shaped blocks, daqu generally needs to be stored for natural aging before being used in brewing production. To reduce the difficulty and labor intensity of the work and make reasonable use of space during the transportation and storage of daqu, it is usually stacked in batches during production, and the entire stack of daqu is tied with packing straps before being transported and stored.

[0003] While stacked koji (a type of starter culture) is convenient for transportation and storage, sampling during storage is difficult. During the natural aging process, the surface of the koji may deform or develop irregular bulges. In actual production, to facilitate sampling, workers tend to look for koji samples from the upper layer of the stack that have bulged or irregularly raised surfaces, creating larger gaps between them and surrounding koji. They then use crowbars, trowels, or other tools to pry open these gaps and remove the koji sample. However, the koji's surface is hard and gradually becomes brittle over time. Prying open the gaps can easily break other koji samples around the original sample, affecting their natural aging, and making it difficult to remove intact samples. Furthermore, the sharp edges of the koji can easily scratch workers using crowbars and trowels. In addition, selecting only koji with larger gaps between them and surrounding koji as samples is subjective and lacks randomness. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a large-batch sampling device to avoid the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution to solve the technical problem: a large-brush sampling device, comprising a handle, a connecting rod, a clamp, a grip, a fixing pin, a rope, and a clamp connecting rod; The top of the handle is bent to one side to form the grip; the grip is located below the handle, and a grip connection hole is opened at its front end; the grip is rotatably connected to the connecting rod. A pair of clamps are symmetrically arranged on both sides below the bottom of the handle, and the spacing between the pair of clamps is adapted to the thickness of the large bend; a clamp connecting rod bent towards the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the clamp; the clamp connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod, and a clamp connecting hole is opened at its top. A fixing pin is fixedly provided on the connecting rod between the grip and the handle; The rope is tensioned and passes around the fixing pin, with its front and rear ends respectively passing through the handle connection hole and a pair of clamp connection holes for bolting.

[0006] Furthermore, the pair of clamps can clamp the large bend when the rope is taut, and swing away from each other to create a gap with the large bend when the rope is slack.

[0007] Furthermore, the thickness of the clamping plate decreases from top to bottom, and an edge is formed at the bottom edge.

[0008] Furthermore, the opposing surfaces of the pair of clamping plates serve as clamping surfaces, and anti-slip protrusions are densely distributed on the clamping surfaces.

[0009] Furthermore, the anti-slip protrusions are arranged in an array.

[0010] Furthermore, the anti-slip protrusions are convex weld points.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection point between the grip and the connecting rod is located from the middle to the front of the grip, and the connection point between the clamp connecting rod and the connecting rod is located in the middle of the clamp connecting rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing pin is located directly above the grip connection hole and directly above the connection point between the grip and the connecting rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the grip is rotatably connected to the connecting rod via the grip connecting pin, and the clamp connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod via the clamp connecting pin.

[0014] Furthermore, the rope is a steel rope.

[0015] This utility model provides a sampling device for large-batch liquor, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The bolting of the middle rope to the connecting hole of the front end of the clamping plate of the connecting rod of the pair of clamping plates restricts the large range of relative movement of the pair of clamping plates. This allows the pair of clamping plates to be inserted into the gap between the large qu sample and the two sides of the large qu sample at a spacing that is suitable for the width of the large qu sample. After the clamping plates are inserted to both sides of the large qu sample, the rope is tightened by pressing the handle and grip, which causes the pair of clamping plates to swing slightly in opposite directions to clamp the large qu sample. The complete or nearly complete large qu sample can be taken out from the upper layer of the whole stack of large qu, which effectively improves the sampling efficiency and convenience of large qu.

[0016] 2. The bottom edge of the clamping plate and the structure of the clamping plate with increasing thickness from bottom to top are conducive to the clamping plate guiding the gap to widen when it is inserted into the gap between the large curing sample and the large curing on both sides, so as to promote the complete separation of the large curing on both sides from the large curing sample and avoid or reduce the loss of the large curing sample and the large curing.

[0017] 3. When taking out the Daqu sample, the operator always maintains a sufficient distance from the Daqu, which can effectively prevent the sharp edges of the Daqu from scratching the operator. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] The entire stack of large-batch koji is bundled and tied with 11 packing straps. Figure 1 As shown.

[0022] A large-batch sampling device, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, its structural relationship is as follows: it includes handle 1, connecting rod 2, clamp 3, grip 4, fixing pin 5, rope 8 and clamp connecting rod; The top of the handle 1 is bent to one side to form a grip 4; the grip 4 is located below the handle 1, and a grip connection hole 6 is opened at its front end. The grip 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2. A pair of clamps 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides below the bottom of the handle 1, and the spacing between the pair of clamps 3 is adapted to the thickness of the large bend; a clamp connecting rod bent towards the connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamp 3, and the clamp connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2, and a clamp connecting hole 10 is opened at its top. A clamping plate connecting hole 10 is provided at the top of the clamping plate connecting rod; A fixing pin 5 is fixedly provided on the connecting rod 2 between the handle 4 and the handle 1; The rope 8 is tensioned and passes around the fixing pin 5, with its front and rear ends passing through the handle connection hole 6 and a pair of clamp connection holes 10 respectively for bolting.

[0023] Preferably, a pair of clamps 3 can clamp the large curve when the rope 8 is tightened, and swing away from each other at a small distance when the rope 8 is relaxed, forming a small gap between the large curve and the rope 8.

[0024] Preferably, the thickness of the clamping plate 3 decreases from top to bottom and forms a ridge at the bottom edge. When the clamping plate 3 is inserted into the gap between the large curly sample and the large curly on both sides, it guides the gap between the large curly on both sides and the large curly sample to widen, so as to promote the complete peeling of the large curly on both sides and the large curly sample, and avoid or reduce the loss of the large curly sample and the large curly.

[0025] Preferably, the opposing surfaces of the pair of clamping plates 3 are used as clamping surfaces, and anti-slip protrusions 31 are densely arranged on the clamping surfaces to effectively increase the friction between the two when the clamping plates 3 clamp the large curly sample, so that the clamping plates 3 clamp more firmly and prevent the large curly sample from falling off.

[0026] Preferably, the anti-slip raised dots are arranged in an array.

[0027] Preferably, the anti-slip bumps are convex weld points.

[0028] Preferably, the connection point between the handle 4 and the connecting rod 2 is located from the middle to the front of the handle 4, and the connection point between the clamp connecting rod and the connecting rod 2 is located in the middle of the clamp connecting rod.

[0029] Preferably, the fixing pin 5 is located directly above the handle connection hole 6 and directly above the connection point between the handle 4 and the connecting rod 2.

[0030] Preferably, the handle 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2 via the handle connecting pin 7, and the clamp connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2 via the clamp connecting pin 9.

[0031] Preferably, rope 8 is a steel rope.

[0032] Using the above-mentioned Daqu sampling device to take Daqu samples from the top layer of the packaged stack of Daqu includes the following process: First, hold handle 1 and grip 4, align the edges of the bottom edge of the pair of clamps 3 with the gaps between the large curly sample and the two sides of the large curly sample, and insert them into the gaps to separate the large curly sample from the two sides of the large curly sample. The resistance exerted by the large curing and the large curing sample on a pair of clamps 3 causes the pair of clamps 3 to swing away from each other. However, because the top of the rope 8 passes through the clamp connection hole 10 at the top of the clamp connecting rod of the pair of clamps at the same time, the clamp connection holes 10 of the pair of clamps with different swing trajectories can only swing within a small range allowed by the connection between the end of the rope 8 and the clamp connection hole 10. Thus, throughout the entire process of the clamps 3 being inserted into the gap, the pair of clamps 3 always maintains a distance that is naturally adapted to the width of the large curing sample.

[0033] The second step is to fully insert a pair of clamps 3 into the gaps on both sides of the large curvature sample, and then apply opposing pressure to the rear end of the handle 4 and the rear end of the handle 1, so that the rear end of the handle 4 swings closer to the handle 1. At the same time, the front end of the handle 4 swings away from the handle 1 and pulls down the front end of the rope 8 to tighten the rope 8. The tension of rope 8 acting on the top of the connecting rod of a pair of clamps causes the pair of clamps 3 to swing slightly in opposite directions to clamp the large curved sample.

[0034] The third step is to pull the handle 4 upwards and outwards to remove the Daqu sample from the whole stack of Daqu, thus completing the sampling.
