Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a steam distribution plate for brewing steamers with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing is the process of producing alcoholic beverages with a certain concentration through microbial fermentation. Raw materials and brewing containers are two prerequisites for grain-based brewing. Baijiu (Chinese white liquor) primarily uses starchy materials such as sorghum, corn, barley, wheat, rice, and peas. Its brewing process generally involves two steps: First, starch is broken down into sugars using various starter cultures such as Daqu, Xiaoqu, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus flavus. This process, known as saccharification, involves selecting grains, steaming, cooling, adding starter cultures, making containers, and cultivating microorganisms. This process transforms starch into sugars, which then become alcohol. Second, yeast ferments glucose to produce alcohol. Finally, the liquor is distilled in a still to obtain baijiu. Currently, during brewing, the fermented mash is placed on a steam distribution sieve plate on the still. However, after distillation, cleaning the sieve plate is inconvenient, and manual cleaning is not practical. Therefore, we have proposed a self-cleaning steam distribution plate for brewing stills. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steam distribution plate for brewing steamer with self-cleaning function.

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a steam distribution plate for brewing steamer with self-cleaning function, including a steamer, a distribution screen plate rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the steamer via bearings, the distribution screen plate having multiple air holes, a brake motor fixedly installed on the side of the steamer, the output shaft of the brake motor being connected to one end of the distribution screen plate's rotating shaft via a coupling, two reinforcing mechanisms on the distribution screen plate and the steamer, a material feeding and discharging mechanism on the outer side of the steamer, an annular water spray pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the steamer, multiple water spray holes at the bottom of the annular water spray pipe, a water pump fixedly installed on the outer side of the steamer, a water guide pipe fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump, and the output end of the water pump fixedly sleeved inside the annular water spray pipe, and an air inlet pipe located on the side of the steamer and below the distribution screen plate.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing mechanism includes a second screw hole opened on the side of the distribution screen plate and a second mounting hole opened on the outside of the steamer. A second wing screw is sleeved in the inner cavity of the second mounting hole, and the end of the second wing screw is threaded into the inner cavity of the second screw hole.

An air inlet pipe 5 is provided on the side of the steamer 1 and below the distribution screen plate 2. The end of the air inlet pipe 5 is connected to an external hot steam pipe. The reinforcing mechanism 4 includes a second screw hole 12 on the side of the distribution screen plate 2 and a second mounting hole 13 on the outside of the steamer 1. A second wing screw 14 is fitted in the inner cavity of the second mounting hole 13. The end of the second wing screw 14 is threaded into the inner cavity of the second screw hole 12. The distribution screen plate 2 is reinforced and supported by the cooperation of the second screw hole 12, the second mounting hole 13 and the second wing screw 14. Example 2

[0022] Based on Embodiment 1, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 6, the material handling mechanism 7 includes a hinge 15 fixedly installed on the outside of the still 1. A sealing door 16 is fixedly installed on the hinge 15. The sealing door 16 is fitted onto the side of the still 1. The side of the still 1 is provided with a feeding trough for placing the sealing door 16. The wine tank inside the still 1 can be picked up and put in through the feeding trough. A connecting cover 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the sealing door 16. A first screw hole 18 is provided on the outside of the still 1. A first mounting hole 19 is provided on the connecting cover 17. A first wing screw 20 is fitted into the inner cavity of the first mounting hole 19. The end of the first wing screw 20 is threaded into the inner cavity of the first screw hole 18. The sealing door 16 is fixed by the cooperation of the first screw hole 18, the first mounting hole 19, and the first wing screw 20. Example 3

[0023] Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, a drain pipe 21 is provided at the bottom of the still 1, and a switch valve 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the drain pipe 21. The cleaning wastewater is discharged through the cooperation of the drain pipe 21 and the switch valve 22. Multiple support legs 23 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the still 1 to support the still 1. A support ring 24 is provided at the top of the still 1 to support the top lid and allow steam to be introduced into the subsequent cooling device through the pipe at the top of the lid. The side of the distribution screen plate 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the still 1 to ensure that the distribution screen plate 2 can support the mash and prevent the mash from falling off the side of the distribution screen plate 2. The top and bottom sides of the distribution screen plate 2 are provided with arc corners to ensure that the distribution screen plate 2 can rotate in the inner cavity of the still 1.

[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is a steam distribution plate for a brewing still with a self-cleaning function. In use, the mash to be brewed is first placed on the distribution screen plate 2. High-temperature steam is introduced into the inner cavity of the still 1 through the air inlet pipe 5, allowing the high-temperature steam to contact the mash through the vent holes 6, causing the liquid in the mash to evaporate upwards and subsequently condense to achieve the brewing operation. After brewing, the first wing screw 20 is removed to release the connection between the cover 17 and the still 1, thereby opening the sealing door 16 and removing the mash from the distribution screen plate 2. After removal, the sealing door 16 is closed again, and the sealing door 16 is secured using the cooperation of the first screw hole 18, the first mounting hole 19, and the first wing screw 20. Then, the second wing screw 14 is removed to release the connection between the distribution screen plate 2 and the still 1. The brake motor 3 is started to rotate the distribution screen plate 2 90 degrees, and the water pump 9 is started to open the water pipe 11. External water is pumped into the inner cavity of the annular spray pipe 8, causing the water in the annular spray pipe 8 to spray downwards from the spray hole 10. The water sprayed from the spray hole 10 is used to rinse the mash adhering to the inside of the still 1. At this time, the switch valve 22 is opened, allowing the wastewater from the cleaning to be discharged from the drain pipe 21 and the switch valve 22. Finally, the brake motor 3 is started to drive the distribution screen plate 2 to rotate 90 degrees again, so that the original top surface of the distribution screen plate 2 rotates downwards, allowing water to rinse downwards from the top of the distribution screen plate 2, so as to clean the mash off the distribution screen plate 2.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
