Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sterilization device technology, specifically a sterilization device for brewing ginseng fruit beer. Background Technology
[0002] Beer is a fermented beverage made primarily from malt and water, with the addition of hops (including hop products), and fermented by yeast. It contains carbon dioxide and can form foam. The beer production process consists of several steps, including malt production, wort production, pre-fermentation, post-fermentation, filtration and sterilization, and packaging. The most important step before packaging is sterilization, because beer contains lactobacilli, which are the main culprits for beer spoilage. Therefore, beer needs to be sterilized. The sterilization method used for beer is pasteurization, which involves heating the alcohol to 62-65℃ and holding it for 30 minutes or 75-90℃ and holding it for 15-16 seconds. This can eliminate 97.3%-99.9% of pathogenic bacteria, and the remaining bacteria are mainly harmless lactic acid bacteria.
[0003] However, traditional sterilization tanks typically involve pouring beer into the tank and then heating the entire tank, which is a slow process. Furthermore, the tanks require cleaning after use, a process often done manually, which is inefficient. Additionally, after sterilization, the beer is usually discharged directly through fixed pipes, making it difficult to adjust the discharge location. To address these issues, a sterilization device for ginseng fruit beer brewing is proposed.
[0004] As disclosed in CN211771184U, a sterilization device for brewing prickly pear flavored beer includes a sterilization tank, a hemispherical heating jacket, a rotating frame, and a base. A guide rail seat is installed at the middle position above the base. Rotating frames are symmetrically installed on both sides in front of the guide rail seat. A bearing seat is installed at the middle position above the two rotating frames. A hemispherical heating jacket is arranged between the two rotating frames. The hemispherical heating jacket is rotatably connected to the two bearing seats through a rotating shaft. A sterilization tank is installed inside the hemispherical heating jacket. An mounting frame is installed on the hemispherical heating jacket on one side of the sterilization tank.
[0005] Although it achieves the goal of avoiding incomplete sterilization due to a large amount of solution to be treated during sterilization by setting up a rotating frame, bearing seat, rack and reciprocating screw, it also avoids the problem of deterioration of the solution to be treated due to high local temperature.
[0006] However, it does not solve the problems that existing sterilization devices are not conducive to stirring beer to ensure even heating and sterilization, nor to cleaning and drying the inside of the tank, nor to flexibly adjusting and adapting the beer discharge position, thus affecting the convenience of cleaning the tank. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device for brewing ginseng fruit beer, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of stirring the beer to ensure uniform heating and sterilization, the difficulty in cleaning and drying the inside of the tank, and the inconvenience of flexibly adjusting and adapting the beer discharge position, which affect the convenience of cleaning the tank.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A sterilization device for brewing ginseng fruit beer includes a base and an outer tank. The outer tank is located at the top of the base, and an inner tank is located inside the outer tank. A heating wire is installed in the interlayer between the outer and inner tanks. A drive seat is located at the center of the top of the inner tank, and a transfer frame is located at the top of the drive seat. An air pump is located at the top of the inner tank on one side of the drive seat. An air supply pipe is installed at the output end of the air pump and is connected to the transfer frame. A water tank is located at the top of the inner tank on the other side of the drive seat. A first servo motor is located on the side wall of the drive seat, and a worm gear is installed at the output end of the first servo motor. A worm wheel is located inside the drive seat on one side of the worm gear, and the worm wheel meshes with the worm. A hollow shaft is located at the center of the worm wheel, and both the upper and lower ends of the hollow shaft extend to the outside of the drive seat and are movably connected to the transfer frame.
[0009] Optionally, a stirring rack is provided at the bottom end of the hollow shaft, and the stirring rack is connected to the hollow shaft.
[0010] Optionally, scrapers are provided on both sides of the stirring rack, and the scrapers are slidably connected to the inner tank, and a solenoid valve is provided at the bottom of the inner tank.
[0011] Optionally, a spray rack is provided on the inner wall of the inner tank, and multiple sets of spray nozzles with equal spacing are installed on the inner wall and bottom of the spray rack.
[0012] Optionally, a water pump is installed on the side wall of the water tank, and the output end of the water pump is connected to the spray frame through a pipe.
[0013] Optionally, a connecting pipe is provided at the bottom end of the outer tank, and the connecting pipe is movably connected to the outer tank.
[0014] Optionally, a second servo motor is provided on the outer tank sidewall on one side of the connecting pipe, and a drive shaft is installed at the output end of the second servo motor.
[0015] Optionally, the surface of the drive shaft is provided with a gear, and the surface of the connecting pipe is provided with a toothed ring.
[0016] Optionally, the gear meshes with the gear ring, and a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom end of the connecting pipe.
[0017] Optionally, a PLC controller is provided on the outer wall of the outer tank, and the output terminal of the PLC controller is electrically connected to the input terminals of the air pump, water pump, first servo motor, solenoid valve, heating wire, and second servo motor.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the sterilization device not only realizes the uniform heating and sterilization of beer by stirring it, but also facilitates the cleaning and drying of the inside of the tank, and makes it convenient to flexibly adjust and adapt the beer discharge position, but also improves the convenience of cleaning the tank.
[0019] After the fermented ginseng fruit beer is poured into the inner tank, the inlet is sealed. A heating wire generates heat to heat the beer inside the tank to 75-90℃, which is then held for 15-16 seconds to kill harmful lactic acid bacteria. A first servo motor drives a worm gear, which in turn drives a hollow shaft via a worm wheel. The hollow shaft then drives a stirring rack to agitate the beer, ensuring more even contact between the beer and the inner tank wall, resulting in more uniform heating. Once sterilization is complete, a solenoid valve is opened, allowing the beer to flow through the valve into the discharge pipe and out. When the discharge position needs adjustment, a second servo motor drives a gear via a drive shaft. This gear, through a gear ring, drives a connecting pipe, which in turn drives the discharge pipe, adjusting the discharge port position to allow beer to be discharged from different locations. This design ensures uniform heating and sterilization of the beer and allows for flexible adjustment of the discharge position.
[0020] After the beer has been discharged, a water pump pumps pure water from the tank through pipes to the inside of the spray frame. The pure water is sprayed out through the inner wall and bottom nozzles of the spray frame, forming a water curtain. The water sprayed from the bottom nozzles hits the inner wall of the inner tank to clean it, while the water sprayed from the nozzles on the inner wall hits the stirring frame to clean it. A first servo motor drives the stirring frame to rotate, which in turn drives a scraper to rotate, scraping off any remaining beer from the inner wall of the inner tank. After cleaning the inner tank and the stirring frame, an air pump delivers high-pressure gas through a gas pipe into the transfer frame. The airflow passes through the rotating... The agitator enters the hollow shaft. Since the agitator and the hollow shaft are connected, the airflow enters the agitator through the hollow shaft and is ejected through the holes on the surface of the agitator to form an airflow column. The airflow column is sprayed onto the inner wall of the inner tank. While the airflow is being ejected, the agitator is rotating continuously, so the agitator can drive the airflow column to make uniform contact with the inner wall of the inner tank, thereby quickly drying the inner wall of the inner tank. Under the continuous blowing action of the airflow, the moisture on the surface of the agitator is also dried and evaporated. The above design can clean and dry the inside of the inner tank after sterilization, reducing the need for manual cleaning and improving the convenience of cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a sterilization device for brewing ginseng fruit beer, including a base 1 and an outer tank 3. The outer tank 3 is located at the top of the base 1, and an inner tank 9 is located inside the outer tank 3. A heating wire 20 is installed in the interlayer between the outer tank 3 and the inner tank 9. A drive seat 7 is located at the center of the top of the inner tank 9, and an adapter frame 11 is located at the top of the drive seat 7. An air pump 6 is located at the top of the inner tank 9 on one side of the drive seat 7. An air supply pipe 12 is installed at the output end of the air pump 6 and is connected to the adapter frame 11. A water tank 5 is located at the top of the inner tank 9 on the other side of the drive seat 7. The side wall of the drive seat 7... A first servo motor 13 is installed on the upper part of the drive seat 7. A worm gear 14 is installed at the output end of the first servo motor 13. A worm wheel 15 is installed inside the drive seat 7 on one side of the worm gear 14, and the worm wheel 15 meshes with the worm gear 14. A hollow shaft 16 is installed at the center of the worm wheel 15, and both the upper and lower ends of the hollow shaft 16 extend to the outside of the drive seat 7. The hollow shaft 16 is movably connected to the adapter frame 11. A stirring frame 17 is installed at the bottom end of the hollow shaft 16, and the stirring frame 17 is connected to the hollow shaft 16. Scrapers 18 are installed on both sides of the stirring frame 17, and the scrapers 18 are slidably connected to the inner tank 9. A solenoid valve 19 is installed at the bottom end of the inner tank 9.
[0031] In this utility model, the PLC controller 4 is a Siemens S7-200, which is existing technology. Therefore, its internal structure, working principle, and connection and control method with the electrical components in this application will not be described in detail. After the fermented ginseng fruit beer is injected into the inner tank 9, the injection port is sealed, and the heating wire 20 is turned on. The heating wire 20 generates heat to heat the beer in the inner tank 9, raising the beer temperature to 75-90℃. After maintaining the temperature for 15-16 seconds, harmful lactic acid bacteria in the beer are killed. During the heating process, the first servo motor 13 is turned on, which drives the worm gear 14 to rotate. Under the mutual meshing of the worm gear 14 and the worm wheel 15, the worm gear 14 drives the hollow shaft 16 to rotate through the worm wheel 15. The hollow shaft 16 drives the stirring rack 17 to rotate, and the stirring rack 17 rotates. The frame 17 is used to stir the beer, making the beer contact with the inner wall of the inner tank 9 more evenly, thus making the beer heat more evenly. After the beer is sterilized, the solenoid valve 19 is opened, and the beer enters the discharge pipe 2 through the solenoid valve 19 and is discharged through the discharge pipe 2. When it is necessary to adjust the discharge position of the discharge pipe 2, the second servo motor 21 is turned on. The second servo motor 21 drives the gear 23 to rotate through the drive shaft 22. Under the mutual meshing of the gear 23 and the gear ring 24, and the movable cooperation between the connecting pipe 25 and the outer tank 3, the gear 23 drives the connecting pipe 25 to rotate through the gear ring 24, and the connecting pipe 25 drives the discharge pipe 2 to rotate, thereby adjusting the discharge position of the discharge pipe 2, so as to discharge the beer from different positions. The above design can make the beer heat sterilized evenly and can flexibly adapt and adjust the beer discharge position.
[0032] A spray frame 10 is installed on the inner wall of the inner tank 9, and multiple sets of nozzles 26 with equal spacing are installed on the inner wall and bottom of the spray frame 10. A water pump 8 is installed on the side wall of the water tank 5, and the output end of the water pump 8 is connected to the spray frame 10 through a pipe.
[0033] A connecting pipe 25 is provided at the bottom of the outer tank 3, and the connecting pipe 25 is movably connected to the outer tank 3. A second servo motor 21 is provided on the side wall of the outer tank 3 on one side of the connecting pipe 25, and a drive shaft 22 is installed at the output end of the second servo motor 21.
[0034] The drive shaft 22 is provided with a gear 23 on its surface, and the connecting pipe 25 is provided with a toothed ring 24 on its surface. The gear 23 and the toothed ring 24 mesh with each other, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe 25 is provided with a discharge pipe 2.
[0035] A PLC controller 4 is installed on the outer wall of the outer tank 3, and the output terminal of the PLC controller 4 is electrically connected to the input terminals of the air pump 6, water pump 8, first servo motor 13, solenoid valve 19, heating wire 20, and second servo motor 21.
[0036] After the beer has been discharged, water pump 8 is turned on, pumping pure water from water tank 5 through pipes to the interior of spray frame 10. The pure water is sprayed out through the inner wall and bottom nozzles 26 of spray frame 10 to form a water curtain. The water sprayed from the bottom nozzles 26 sprays onto the inner wall of inner tank 9 to clean it, while the water sprayed from the nozzles 26 on the inner wall sprays onto stirring frame 17 to clean it. Simultaneously, the first servo motor 13 is turned on, driving the stirring frame 17 to rotate. The stirring frame 17 then drives the scraper 18 to rotate. With the sliding contact between the scraper 18 and the inner tank 9, the scraper 18 scrapes and cleans the remaining beer from the inner wall of the inner tank 9. After cleaning the inner tank 9 and stirring frame 17, air pump 6 is turned on, pumping pure water through a pump... High-pressure gas is delivered into the adapter frame 11 via the air pipe 12. Under the transfer action of the adapter frame 11, the airflow enters the hollow shaft 16 through the adapter frame 11. Since the stirring frame 17 and the hollow shaft 16 are connected, the airflow enters the stirring frame 17 through the hollow shaft 16 and is ejected through the holes on the surface of the stirring frame 17 to form an airflow column. The airflow column is sprayed onto the inner wall of the inner tank 9. While the airflow is being ejected, the stirring frame 17 is continuously rotating, so the stirring frame 17 can drive the airflow column to make uniform contact with the inner wall of the inner tank 9, thereby quickly blowing and drying the inner wall of the inner tank 9. Under the continuous blowing action of the airflow, the moisture on the surface of the stirring frame 17 is also dried and evaporated. The above design can clean and dry the inside of the inner tank 9 after sterilization, reducing the need for manual cleaning and improving the convenience of cleaning.
[0037] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: After the fermented ginseng fruit beer is injected into the inner tank 9, the injection port is sealed. The heating wire 20 generates heat to heat the beer in the inner tank 9, raising the beer temperature to 75-90℃. The temperature is then maintained for 15-16 seconds to kill harmful lactic acid bacteria in the beer. The first servo motor 13 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow shaft 16 to rotate via the worm wheel 15. The hollow shaft 16 then drives the stirring rack 17 to rotate, which stirs the beer, making the contact between the beer and the inner wall of the inner tank 9 more uniform, thus allowing it to be more evenly mixed. The heating is more uniform. After the beer is sterilized, it enters the discharge pipe 2 through the solenoid valve 19 and is discharged through the discharge pipe 2. When the discharge position of the discharge pipe 2 needs to be adjusted, the second servo motor 21 drives the gear 23 to rotate through the drive shaft 22. The gear 23 drives the connecting pipe 25 to rotate through the gear ring 24. The connecting pipe 25 drives the discharge pipe 2 to rotate, thereby adjusting the discharge position of the discharge pipe 2 and discharging the beer from different positions. After the beer is discharged, the water pump 8 pumps the pure water in the water tank 5 through the pipeline to the inside of the spray frame 10. The pure water is sprayed out through the inner wall of the spray frame 10 and the nozzle 26 at the bottom. A water curtain is formed, with water sprayed from the bottom nozzles 26 onto the inner wall of the inner tank 9 to clean it. Water sprayed from the nozzles 26 on the inner wall onto the stirring rack 17 to clean it. The first servo motor 13 drives the stirring rack 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper 18 to rotate. Through the sliding contact between the scraper 18 and the inner tank 9, the scraper 18 scrapes away any remaining beer residue from the inner wall of the inner tank 9. After cleaning the inner tank 9 and the stirring rack 17, the air pump 6 delivers high-pressure gas through the air pipe 12 into the transfer frame 11. Under the transfer action of the transfer frame 11, the gas... The airflow passes through the adapter 11 and enters the hollow shaft 16. Since the stirring rack 17 and the hollow shaft 16 are connected, the airflow passes through the hollow shaft 16 and enters the stirring rack 17. It is then ejected through the holes on the surface of the stirring rack 17 to form an airflow column. The airflow column is sprayed onto the inner wall of the inner tank 9. While the airflow is being ejected, the stirring rack 17 is rotating continuously. Therefore, the stirring rack 17 can drive the airflow column to make uniform contact with the inner wall of the inner tank 9, thereby quickly drying the inner wall of the inner tank 9. Under the continuous blowing action of the airflow, the moisture on the surface of the stirring rack 17 is also dried and evaporated. The above is the complete usage of the sterilization device for ginseng fruit beer brewing.
