[0002] The barley beer yeast addition device is a specialized piece of equipment used in beer brewing to precisely and aseptically add yeast to the wort. Its performance directly affects the accuracy of yeast inoculation, the uniformity of fermentation, and the quality of beer.

[0003] Existing barley beer yeast adding devices may cause uneven yeast distribution due to the addition port being too high, thus affecting the fermentation efficiency of barley beer.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a barley brewing yeast adding device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a barley brewing yeast addition device, which solves the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a barley beer yeast addition device, comprising a fermentation cylinder, a support leg fixedly connected to the side wall of the fermentation cylinder, a feed pipe connected to the top of the fermentation cylinder, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation cylinder, a drive shaft fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor, stirring blades fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive shaft, a discharge pipe connected to the bottom of the fermentation cylinder, an active yeast storage tank fixedly connected to the side wall of the stirring blades, a weighing chamber connected to the bottom of the active yeast storage tank, a liquid pump connected to the bottom of the weighing chamber, a delivery hose connected to the bottom of the liquid pump, a connecting ring connected to one end of the delivery hose, and multiple spray nozzles connected to the bottom of the connecting ring.

[0007] Preferably, an observation window is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation tank, and the observation window is made of borosilicate glass.

[0008] Preferably, a nitrogen storage tank is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fermentation tank, and the bottom of the nitrogen storage tank is connected to the top of the active yeast storage tank.

[0009] Preferably, a sliding plate is slidably connected inside the weighing chamber, a telescopic vertical tube is connected to the bottom of the sliding plate, an electromagnetic valve is provided on the side wall of the telescopic vertical tube, a return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate, the bottom of the return spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the weighing chamber, a pressure sensor is fixedly connected inside the weighing chamber, and the bottom of the telescopic vertical tube is connected to the bottom of the infusion pump.

[0010] Preferably, the multiple nozzles are arranged at equal intervals, and each nozzle sidewall is provided with a one-way valve.

[0011] Beneficial effects This invention provides a device for adding highland barley brewer's yeast. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: (1) The barley beer yeast addition device allows the operator to control the active yeast in the active yeast storage tank to be fed into the infusion pump through the weighing chamber when there is barley beer to be added. At this time, the operator can control the infusion pump to start so that the active yeast is sprayed out through the delivery hose, connecting ring and spray pipe to add yeast to the barley beer in the fermentation tank, so that the active yeast is sprayed more evenly. At the same time, the operator can control the motor to start, and the motor drives the stirring blade to rotate through the transmission shaft so that the active yeast can be evenly mixed with the barley beer, further improving the uniformity of active yeast in the barley beer and improving the fermentation efficiency of barley beer.

[0012] (2) This barley beer yeast addition device, through the setting of an observation window made of borosilicate glass, allows the staff to directly observe the fermentation process of barley beer inside the fermentation tank. Furthermore, the borosilicate glass has good chemical stability, preventing it from reacting chemically with the barley beer. The nitrogen storage tank allows for the filling of the fermentation tank and the active yeast storage tank with nitrogen, preventing the active yeast from being exposed to air for extended periods, which could lead to accelerated oxidation and metabolism, resulting in decreased activity or even death. When the active yeast in the active yeast storage tank is transported into the weighing tank… After entering the fermentation tank, the active yeast will remain on the top of the sliding plate. As the amount of active yeast on the top of the sliding plate gradually increases, the sliding plate will cause the return spring to contract under the action of gravity until the bottom of the sliding plate contacts the top of the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor will then control the solenoid valve to open and simultaneously stop the active yeast storage tank from adding active yeast into the symmetrical fermentation tank. This allows the equipment to deliver active yeast to the fermentation tank in a quantitative manner, avoiding excessive delivery of active yeast that could affect the fermentation of barley beer. The one-way valve design prevents barley beer from flowing back into the connecting ring through the spray pipe when the stirring blades are stirring the barley beer. Attached Figure Description

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.

[0016] Example: Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 A device for adding highland barley brewer's yeast includes a fermentation tank 1, with support legs 3 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fermentation tank 1. A feed pipe 4 is connected to the top of the fermentation tank 1, and a motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the fermentation tank 1. A drive shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 5, and stirring blades 7 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive shaft 6. A discharge pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and an active yeast storage tank 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the stirring blades 7. A weighing chamber 11 is connected to the bottom of the active yeast storage tank 10, and a liquid pump 17 is connected to the bottom of the weighing chamber 11. A delivery hose 18 is connected to the bottom of the liquid pump 17, and a connecting ring 19 is connected to one end of the delivery hose 18. Multiple nozzles 20 are connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 19. When yeast needs to be added to barley beer, the staff can control the active yeast in the active yeast storage tank 10 to be fed into the infusion pump 17 through the weighing chamber 11. At this time, the staff can control the infusion pump 17 to start so that the active yeast is sprayed out through the delivery hose 18, connecting ring 19 and spray nozzle 20 to add yeast to the barley beer in the fermentation tank 1, so that the active yeast is sprayed more evenly. At the same time, the staff can control the motor 5 to start. The motor 5 drives the stirring blade 7 to rotate through the transmission shaft 6, so that the active yeast can be evenly mixed with the barley beer, further improving the uniformity of active yeast in the barley beer and improving the fermentation efficiency of barley beer.

[0017] In an optional embodiment: an observation window 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1, and the observation window 2 is made of borosilicate glass.

[0018] It should be noted that the observation window 2 made of borosilicate glass allows staff to directly observe the fermentation process of barley beer inside the fermentation tank 1. Furthermore, the borosilicate glass has good chemical stability, preventing it from reacting chemically with the barley beer.

[0019] In an optional embodiment: a nitrogen storage tank 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fermentation tank 1, and the bottom of the nitrogen storage tank 9 is connected to the top of the active yeast storage tank 10.

[0020] It should be noted that by setting up the nitrogen storage box 9, nitrogen can be filled into the fermentation tank 1 and the active yeast storage box 10, so as to avoid the active yeast being exposed to the air for a long time, which would cause the active yeast to accelerate oxidation and metabolism, resulting in a decrease in its vitality or even death.

[0021] In an optional embodiment: a sliding plate 12 is slidably connected inside the weighing chamber 11, a telescopic vertical tube 13 is connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 12, a solenoid valve 14 is provided on the side wall of the telescopic vertical tube 13, a return spring 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 12, the bottom of the return spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of the weighing chamber 11, a pressure sensor 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the weighing chamber 11, and the bottom of the telescopic vertical tube 13 is connected to the bottom of the infusion pump 17.

[0022] It should be noted that when the active yeast in the active yeast storage tank 10 is transported into the weighing chamber 11, the active yeast will remain on the top of the sliding plate 12. As the active yeast on the top of the sliding plate 12 gradually increases, the sliding plate 12 will cause the return spring 15 to contract under the action of gravity until the bottom of the sliding plate 12 contacts the top of the pressure sensor 16. The pressure sensor 16 will then control the solenoid valve 14 to open and simultaneously stop the active yeast storage tank 10 from adding active yeast into the weighing chamber 11. This allows the equipment to quantitatively deliver active yeast into the fermentation tank 1, avoiding excessive delivery of active yeast that could affect the fermentation of highland barley beer.

[0023] In an optional embodiment: multiple nozzles 20 are arranged at equal intervals, and each nozzle 20 has a one-way valve 21 on its sidewall.

[0024] It should be noted that the one-way valve 21 is designed to prevent the barley beer from flowing back into the connecting ring 19 through the nozzle 20 when the stirring blades 7 are stirring the barley beer.

[0025] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0026] During operation, when yeast needs to be added to barley beer, the operator can control the active yeast in the active yeast storage tank 10 to be input into the infusion pump 17 through the weighing chamber 11. At this time, the operator can control the infusion pump 17 to start so that the active yeast is sprayed out through the delivery hose 18, connecting ring 19 and spray pipe 20 to add yeast to the barley beer in the fermentation tank 1, making the active yeast spray more even. At the same time, the operator can control the motor 5 to start. The motor 5 drives the stirring blade 7 to rotate through the transmission shaft 6, so that the active yeast can be evenly mixed with the barley beer, further improving the uniformity of active yeast in the barley beer and improving the fermentation efficiency of barley beer. The observation window 2 made of borosilicate glass allows staff to directly observe the fermentation process of barley beer inside the fermentation tank 1. Furthermore, the borosilicate glass has good chemical stability, preventing it from reacting chemically with the barley beer. By setting up the nitrogen storage box 9, nitrogen can be filled into the fermentation tank 1 and the active yeast storage box 10, so as to avoid the active yeast being exposed to the air for a long time, which would cause the active yeast to accelerate oxidation and metabolism, resulting in a decrease in its vitality or even death. When the active yeast in the active yeast storage tank 10 is delivered into the weighing chamber 11, the active yeast will stay on the top of the sliding plate 12. As the active yeast on the top of the sliding plate 12 gradually increases, the sliding plate 12 will cause the return spring 15 to contract under the action of gravity until the bottom of the sliding plate 12 contacts the top of the pressure sensor 16. The pressure sensor 16 will then control the solenoid valve 14 to open and simultaneously stop the active yeast storage tank 10 from adding active yeast into the weighing chamber 11. This allows the equipment to deliver active yeast quantitatively into the fermentation tank 1, avoiding excessive delivery of active yeast that could affect the fermentation of barley beer. The one-way valve 21 is designed to prevent barley beer from flowing back into the connecting ring 19 through the nozzle 20 when the stirring blades 7 are stirring the barley beer.
