Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alcoholic beverage preparation technology, specifically to a device for brushing slurry onto the surface of koji blanks. Background Technology

[0002] The koji (fermentation starter) is the raw material used as a saccharification and fermentation agent in the fermentation process of raw liquor. Its cultivation quality directly affects the flavor and quality of the raw liquor. To improve the water retention, shaping stability, and fermentation effect of the koji, a paste needs to be brushed onto the surface of the koji immediately after it is pressed into shape. In actual production, workers use containers or brushes to pour or apply the paste onto the surface of the koji. This method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern production, but also results in significant differences in the thickness and uniformity of the paste applied to the koji surface. This leads to noticeable differences in the water retention and fermentation effect of the koji, which is detrimental to product uniformity and quality stability. Utility Model Content

[0016] 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.

[0017] A device for brushing slurry onto the surface of a shaped blank, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, its structural relationship is as follows: the pressed and shaped blank 10 is placed on the conveying device 9 in sequence and conveyed along the conveying device 9 under the action of the conveying device 9, including a support structure, a water tank 3, a water-absorbing cloth 8 and a connecting piece 11. The water tank 3 is a box-shaped structure with an open top, located directly above the conveying device 9, and is fixed by a support structure. It contains slurry, and a connector 11 is fixed to its bottom. The absorbent cloth 8 is placed on the top of the side wall of the water tank 3. Its front end is immersed in the slurry and is fixed to the bottom of the water tank 3 by the connector 11. Its rear end hangs down and can contact the blank 10 when it is conveyed under the absorbent cloth 8.

[0018] Preferably, it also includes a water inlet pipe 4 and a valve 5; The front end of the water inlet pipe 4 is connected to the water source supplying the slurry, and the end is equipped with a valve 5, which can be connected to the opening of the water tank 3 when the valve 5 is opened, so as to conveniently replenish the slurry in the water tank 3.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes a connecting rod 6 and a float 7; The float 7 floats on the surface of the slurry water in the water tank 3. The connecting rod 6 connects the float 7 and the valve 5 switch. When the float 7 sinks, the switch can be pulled down to increase the opening of the valve 5 to the maximum, so that the slurry water from the water source flows into the water tank 3 through the water inlet pipe 4 to replenish the slurry water in the water tank 3. Or when the float 7 rises, the switch can be pushed up to decrease the opening of the valve 5 to the point of closing, so that the slurry water from the water source no longer flows into the water tank 3 through the water inlet pipe 4, thus preventing the slurry water in the water tank 3 from overflowing.

[0020] Preferably, valve 5 is a ball valve, which has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and can reliably realize the switching function.

[0021] Preferably, the support structure includes a platform 1 and a bracket 2; A pair of supports 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying device 9. The bottom end of the supports 2 is fixed to the frame of the conveying device 9, and the top end is fixed to the platform 1. The water tank 3 is installed and fixed on the top of the platform 1. The support structure should be stable to ensure the support of the water tank 3 so as to support the stable operation of the brushing device on the surface of the shaped blank.

[0022] Preferably, the absorbent cloth 8 is made of cotton yarn or sponge cloth, which has good water absorption and water retention properties, and can stably maintain gentle contact with the blank 10 when it is conveyed under the absorbent cloth 8, and continuously brush the slurry onto the surface of the blank 10.

[0023] Preferably, the connector 11 is a clip, which is simple and reliable in fixing and facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the absorbent cloth 8.

[0024] The working method of the above-mentioned brushing device for the surface of the shaped blank is as follows: the front end of the absorbent cloth 8 is immersed in the slurry and continuously absorbs the slurry. Due to capillary action, the slurry absorbed by the front end of the absorbent cloth 8 is applied upward along the absorbent cloth 8 and then continues to be applied downward along the absorbent cloth 8 under the action of gravity. The slurry is then applied from the rear end of the absorbent cloth 8 to the surface of the shaped blank 10 that is in contact with the rear end of the absorbent cloth 8 and is conveyed forward relative to the absorbent cloth 8.

[0025] By reasonably setting the length and width of the absorbent cloth 8, the absorbent cloth 8 can effectively apply the slurry directly to the front, upper, left, and right surfaces of the shaped blank 10. At the same time, the absorbent cloth 8 can wet the surface of the conveyor belt with slurry when the conveyor belt of the conveyor device 9 is idling, and wet the part of the conveyor belt located between adjacent shaped blanks 10 with slurry when the conveyor belt is working, so as to achieve the application of slurry to the lower surface of the shaped blank 10. Since the front and rear surfaces of the koji blank 10 have small areas, whether or not the front and rear surfaces are coated with slurry has little impact on the water retention and fermentation effect of the koji blank 10. Therefore, during the slurry application process, it is sufficient to ensure that the upper, lower, left, and right surfaces of the koji blank 10 are evenly coated with slurry to meet the process requirements.

[0026] When the slurry in water tank 3 is insufficient, the slurry level drops, and the float 7 follows the slurry level. At the same time, it pulls down the connecting rod 6 to open the valve 5, so that the slurry from the water source flows into water tank 3 through the inlet pipe 4, thereby replenishing the slurry in water tank 3. After the slurry in water tank 3 is replenished, the slurry level rises, and the float 7 follows the slurry level to rise. At the same time, it pushes the connecting rod 6 upward to close the valve 5, so that the slurry from the water source no longer flows into water tank 3 through the inlet pipe 4, thus preventing the slurry in water tank 3 from overflowing.

[0027] In addition, the slurry and absorbent cloth 8 in the water tank 3 should be replaced and cleaned in a timely manner as needed to ensure the hygiene of the koji blanks.
