Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquor distillation technology, and in particular to a temperature acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] Maotai-flavor baijiu is produced using a high-temperature process of koji making, high-temperature stacking, and high-temperature distillation. Solid-state distillation is carried out in a still, involving complex heat and mass transfer reactions. During distillation, the mash inside the still undergoes a series of complex changes, with intense heat exchange between the alcohol and vapor, achieving evaporation, concentration, and separation. This concentrates the ethanol and distills off trace amounts of aromatic components, ultimately yielding the base liquor. The still is a closed system, difficult to see with the naked eye and affected by many factors. The purpose of still distillation is to separate and concentrate the fermented mash into high-proof baijiu.

[0003] In the process of baijiu brewing, temperature control during the steaming and distillation stages is a core factor determining the quality, yield, and production efficiency of the liquor. Steaming is a crucial step in evenly loading the fermented mash into the still, and temperature directly affects the physical state of the mash and the efficiency of steam penetration. Distillation is the core process of separating alcohol from flavor compounds through a temperature gradient, requiring precise temperature control in stages.

[0004] Therefore, the current method for analyzing the fermentation situation inside the still is to collect the temperature changes inside the still during the distillation process and analyze based on temperature. This results in the analysis results relying solely on temperature data, leading to a one-sided analysis. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, a temperature acquisition device is provided to solve the problem that the existing technology only uses temperature to analyze the fermentation process of the steamer, which leads to a one-sided analysis.

[0006] On the one hand, this utility model provides a temperature acquisition device for collecting the temperature of the mash in a still, the temperature acquisition device comprising:

[0007] A bracket for mounting at the top opening of the steamer;

[0008] A sampling component, connected to the support, is used to collect the fermented mash;

[0009] A first temperature detection device is connected to the bracket and is configured correspondingly to the sampling component, for detecting the temperature of the mash collected by the sampling component.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0011] In one implementation, a bracket is detachably mounted to the top opening of the steaming pot, the bracket comprising:

[0012] The first support rod is arranged along the first direction in its length direction, and each end of the first support rod is provided with a snap-fit ​​component;

[0013] The second support rod is arranged along the second direction in its length direction. The first end of the second support rod is connected to the first support rod, and the other end is provided with the snap-fit ​​member. The snap-fit ​​member is used to detachably snap-fit ​​and connect to the top opening end of the steamer.

[0014] The temperature acquisition device includes at least two first temperature detection devices, which are spaced apart and connected to the first support rod and the second support rod, respectively.

[0015] In one implementation, the support further includes:

[0016] The third support rod is arranged along the third direction in its length direction and has at least two rods. The third support rod is connected to the first support rod and / or the second support rod.

[0017] The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the sampling component is connected to the third support rod.

[0018] In one implementation, the sampling component includes:

[0019] The support member is fixedly connected to the third support rod, and has a U-shaped groove structure with its opening side facing the plane where the first support rod and the second support rod are located.

[0020] The sampling component is a mesh structure with its open end facing the plane where the first support rod and the second support rod are located, and is detachably placed in the U-shaped groove structure of the support component along the open side;

[0021] The first temperature detection device extends into the sampling element along the third direction.

[0022] In one implementation, the sampling element is a rigid rectangular mesh structure, and the inner wall of the support element and the outer wall of the sampling element form a clearance fit or tight fit structure.

[0023] In one implementation, at least two sampling components are connected to each of the third supports, and adjacent sampling components on the same third support are staggered along the third direction;

[0024] The first temperature detection device includes at least two first temperature detectors, each used to detect the temperature of the mash collected by at least two sampling components connected to the same third support rod.

[0025] In one implementation, the temperature acquisition device further includes:

[0026] A second temperature detection device is connected to the bracket and is spaced apart from the first temperature detection device, including at least two second temperature sensors;

[0027] Both the first and second temperature detectors include a temperature measuring end and a probe. The probe is a slender rod-shaped structure. The first end of the probe is connected to the bracket, and the second end of the probe is connected to the temperature measuring end. The temperature measuring end is used for temperature acquisition.

[0028] In one implementation, each of the third support rods is connected to three sampling components. The first temperature detection device includes three first temperature detectors, and the second temperature detection device includes three second temperature detectors. The first temperature detectors and the second temperature detectors are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and their measuring ends are located in the same horizontal plane.

[0029] In one implementation, the top outer periphery of the steamer is provided with an annular mounting groove, the radial cross section of which is U-shaped;

[0030] The snap-fit ​​connector is L-shaped and includes:

[0031] The first arm is fixedly connected to the bracket;

[0032] The second arm is designed to be detachably snapped into the mounting groove.

[0033] In one implementation, the support is a hollow square tube structure made of stainless steel.

[0035] The signal transmission line is connected to the first temperature detection device.

[0036] The data acquisition component is electrically connected to the first temperature detection device via the signal transmission line;

[0038] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This solution uses a first temperature detection device to collect the temperature inside the still, and also includes a sampling component to sample a designated location inside the still. Furthermore, this solution combines the sampling location of the sampling component with the temperature collection location of the first temperature detection device. That is, while collecting the temperature changes of the still during the loading and distillation processes, the sampling component can also collect samples of the mash at the temperature collection location. This allows for subsequent analysis of the temperature at the same location inside the still in conjunction with the sample, resulting in more accurate and comprehensive data. This avoids the problem of one-sided analysis caused by relying solely on temperature to analyze the distillation process in the still, as is the case in the prior art. Attached Figure Description

[0052] A temperature acquisition device, see Figure 1 The temperature acquisition device is used to collect the temperature of the mash in the still 1. The temperature acquisition device includes a support 2, a sampling component 6, and a first temperature detection device 3. The support is used to install on the top opening of the still 1. The sampling component 6 is connected to the support 2 and is used to collect the mash. The first temperature detection device 3 is connected to the support 2 and is set correspondingly to the sampling component 6. The first temperature detection device 3 is used to detect the temperature of the mash collected by the sampling component 6.

[0053] This scheme uses a first temperature detection device 3 to collect the temperature inside the still 1, and also includes a sampling component 6 to sample from a designated location inside the still 1. Furthermore, this scheme combines the sampling location of the sampling component 6 with the temperature collection location of the first temperature detection device 3. That is, while collecting temperature data at the sampling location, it also collects the temperature changes of the still 1 during the loading and distillation processes, and simultaneously uses the sampling component 6 to collect data on the mash at the temperature collection location. This allows for subsequent analysis of the temperature at the same location inside the still 1 in conjunction with the sample, resulting in more accurate and comprehensive data. This avoids the problem of one-sided analysis caused by relying solely on temperature to analyze the distillation process of the still 1 in existing technologies.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The support 2 includes a first support rod 21, a second support rod 22, and three snap-fit ​​pieces 24. The length direction of the first support rod 21 is arranged along a first direction (i.e., the X direction), and snap-fit ​​pieces 24 are respectively provided at both ends of the first support rod 21. The length direction of the second support rod 22 is arranged along a second direction (i.e., the Y direction). The first end of the second support rod 22 is connected to the first support rod 21, and the other end is provided with a snap-fit ​​piece 24. The snap-fit ​​piece 24 is used to detachably snap-fit ​​and connect to the top opening end of the steamer 1. The temperature acquisition device includes at least two first temperature detection devices 3. The at least two first temperature detection devices are spaced apart and respectively connected to the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22. In this way, one end of the second support rod 22 is connected to the first support rod 21, so that the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 have three free ends, namely the two ends of the first support rod 21 and the other end of the second support rod 22. These three free ends are connected to the snap-fit ​​member 24 and snap-fitted to the top opening end of the steamer 1 through the snap-fit ​​member 24, so that the entire support 2 can be stably snapped onto the steamer 1, so that the entire temperature detection process can be carried out stably. Correspondingly, multiple first temperature detection devices 3 are connected to the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 respectively, so that the distribution of the first temperature detection devices 3 is more uniform, which is conducive to temperature detection of multiple sampling components at different positions in the steamer 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The support 2 also includes a third support rod 23, the length of which is arranged along a third direction (i.e., the Z direction), and there are at least two of them. The third support rod 23 is connected to the first support rod 21 and / or the second support rod 22. The first direction (i.e., the X direction), the second direction (i.e., the Y direction), and the third direction (i.e., the Z direction) are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The sampling component 6 is connected to the third support rod 23. In this way, when the temperature acquisition device is placed in the still 1 and the temperature is detected, the third support rod 23 will extend into the still 1. The first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 are located at the open end of the still 1. The sampling component 6 is connected to the third support rod 23. The third support rod 23 is connected to the first support rod 21 and / or the second support rod 22, so that the position of the sampling component 6 is fixed, which makes it convenient to take it out together after the distillation process of the mash in the still 1 is completed, so as to complete the collection of mash sample. Compared to existing technologies that cannot collect samples at temperature measurement points, this solution can collect temperatures at multiple points within the still 1 throughout the distillation process, and can also collect samples from these temperature measurement points to facilitate further research on various characteristics of the samples in conjunction with temperature.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The sampling assembly 6 includes a support member 61 and a sampling member 62: the support member 61 is fixedly connected to the third support rod 23, has a U-shaped groove structure and its open side faces the plane where the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 are located; the sampling member 62 has a mesh structure, its open end faces the plane where the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 are located, and is detachably placed in the U-shaped groove structure of the support member 61 along the open side; wherein, the first temperature detection device 3 extends into the sampling member 62 in a third direction. In this way, the support member 61 is set as the load-bearing structure at the bottom, and the sampling member 62 is set to load and unload the mash in the still 1. Since both the sampling member 62 and the support member 61 are open on one side facing the plane where the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 are located, when sampling, the mash enters the sampling member 62 along the opening end, and the sampling member 62 is placed into the support member 61 along the opening side. The loading direction of the sampling member 62 is the same as the direction in which the sampling member 62 is placed into the support member 61, so as to avoid the sampling member 62 falling out of the support member 61 when the sample is loaded into the sampling member 62.

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The sampling component 62 is a rigid rectangular mesh structure, and the inner wall of the support component 61 forms a clearance fit or tight fit with the outer wall of the sampling component 62. Thus, the sampling component 62 is a rigid structure, the inner wall of the support component 61 is a rectangular frame, and the outline of the inner wall of the support component 61 is rectangular; the outer wall of the sampling component 62 is a rectangular rigid component that conforms to the outline of the inner wall of the support component 61; the clearance fit between the outer wall of the sampling component 62 and the inner wall of the support component 61 ensures that after the sampling component 62 is placed in the support component 61, the sampling component 62 maintains a certain stability throughout the sampling and removal process from the steamer 1, meaning that no additional connecting structure is needed between the sampling component 62 and the support component 61 for their relative fixation.

[0058] In the embodiments, see Figure 1 The sampling element 62 can be a rigid mesh stabilizing structure. The rigid sampling element 62 can be placed directly on the support 61 to reduce the setting of the connection structure and improve the efficiency of removing the sampling element 62. The sampling element 62 can also be a soft mesh structure, which can be detachably connected to the support 61 or the third support rod 23 by means of sleeve or local wire tightening.

[0059] In the embodiment, for the clearance fit between the outer wall of the sampling member 62 and the inner wall of the support member 61, the clearance size on one side can be within 1 mm or within 0.5 mm.

[0060] In the embodiments, see Figure 1The bottom of the support member 61 is used to support the sampling member 62, and the four sides of the support member 61 are used to support and abut the sampling member 62 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the height of the four sides of the support member 61 is set to be lower than the height of the sampling member 62, so as to reduce the area of ​​the support member 61 covering the sampling member 62 in the four sides, thereby increasing the air permeability area of ​​the mash during the distillation process and reducing the impact on the distillation process of the mash. Based on the consideration of ensuring the distillation effect of the mash, the support member 61 can be a thin plate structure, and multiple air holes can also be opened on the support member 61 so that the distilled steam can pass through stably. The pore diameter of the air holes should be smaller than the pore diameter of the mesh of the sampling member 62.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Each third support rod 23 is connected to at least two sampling components 6. This allows multiple sampling components 6 to be connected to the third support rod 23, ensuring that samples can be taken from different locations within the steamer 1 and obtaining more samples from different locations.

[0062] Adjacent sampling components 6 on the same third support rod 23 are staggered along the third direction. In this way, adjacent sampling components 6 are staggered on the third support rod 23 so that the difference between the samples obtained by adjacent sampling components 6 is greater, that is, after being inserted into the steamer 1, adjacent sampling components 6 are staggered along the lateral direction.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first temperature detection device 3 includes at least two first temperature detectors, each used to detect the temperature of the mash collected by at least two sampling components 6 connected to the same third support rod 23.

[0064] In this embodiment, the two first temperature detectors are of different lengths, which allows the temperature of the two sampling components 6 on the same third support rod 23 inside the still 1 to be collected. That is, the two first temperature detectors collect the temperature of the mash at different depths, thereby increasing the number of temperature collection points inside the still 1.

[0065] In some embodiments, the temperature acquisition device further includes a second temperature detection device 7 connected to the bracket 2. The second temperature detection device 7 is spaced apart from the first temperature detection device 3, and includes at least two second temperature gauges. Thus, by measuring the temperature within the sampling assembly 6 using the first temperature detection device 3 and measuring the temperature at other locations within the steamer using the second temperature detection device 7, the temperature at multiple different locations within the steamer can be measured, improving the diversity of temperature acquisition points.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 3Both the first and second temperature detectors include a measuring end and a probe. The probe is a slender rod-shaped structure, with its first end connected to the bracket 2 and its second end connected to the measuring end, which is used for temperature acquisition. By using slender rod-shaped first and second temperature detectors, the space occupied by multiple detectors can be kept within a reasonable range, avoiding excessive space occupation in the same height direction within the still 1, which could lead to air leakage and other negative impacts during the distillation process. The signal transmission line 4 and the outer casing of the temperature detectors are both made of high-temperature resistant materials, ensuring stable operation even during high-temperature distillation stages, continuously acquiring temperature data, and transmitting the acquired temperature data to the data acquisition component 5 located outside the still 1.

[0067] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor is divided into a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. In order to reduce the vertical space occupied by the temperature sensor, the diameter of the slender strip temperature sensor is controlled, such as a diameter of 2mm to 10mm and a length of 10mm to 120mm. Since the temperature inside the steamer 1 changes rapidly and the changes are inconsistent at different locations, the temperature sensor can achieve accurate measurement at multiple points while freely setting the data recording interval. The shortest interval can be as low as 1 second to meet the measurement requirements and obtain a large amount of temperature data inside the steamer 1.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 Each third support rod 23 is connected to three sampling components 6. The first temperature detection device 3 includes three first temperature detectors, and the second temperature detection device 7 includes three second temperature detectors. The first and second temperature detectors are set in a one-to-one correspondence, and their measuring ends are located in the same horizontal plane. In this way, the sampling components 6 can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the steamer 1 to obtain samples from more different locations.

[0069] In this embodiment, the three first temperature detectors included in the first temperature detection device 3 can be closely fitted together to form a long and thin strip-shaped first temperature detection device 3; similarly, the three second temperature detectors included in the second temperature detection device 7 are also arranged so that the second temperature detection device 7 is also a whole and a long and thin strip-shaped device; different temperature detection devices are used to be inserted at different positions along the transverse direction inside the steamer 1 to measure the temperature in different directions; by distributing multiple temperature detectors in groups, the structural strength of each group of temperature detectors is improved, while the temperature inside the steamer 1 is measured in a controlled variable manner, so as to facilitate the analysis and processing of the temperature data obtained inside the steamer 1.

[0070] In the embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a top view of the steamer 1, showing the distribution of the first temperature detection device 3 and the second temperature detection device 7 in the top view of the steamer 1. There are two first temperature detection devices 3 and five second temperature detection devices 7. Their distribution satisfies the following: a first temperature detection device 3 is located at the center of the steamer 1; four second temperature detection devices 7 are symmetrically distributed along the first diameter direction of the steamer 1; one first temperature detection device 3 and one second temperature detection device 7 are located along the radius direction of the steamer 1 and perpendicular to the first diameter direction; wherein, three second temperature detection devices 7 are distributed in the same circumferential direction sharing the center with the steamer 1, and two second temperature detection devices 7 and one first temperature detection device 3 are distributed in the same circumferential direction sharing the center with the steamer 1, and the two circumferential directions are of different sizes. By setting the above locations, multiple temperatures with correlation and variable control relationships can be collected, which facilitates comparative analysis of the temperature at the sample location in the steamer 1, the temperature at the same height as the sample, and the temperature distributed around the same circumference as the sample, so as to better analyze and process the temperature distribution inside the steamer 1.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The top outer periphery of the steamer 1 is provided with an annular mounting groove 11, the radial cross-section of which is U-shaped; see also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The latching member 24 is L-shaped and includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm is fixedly connected to the bracket 2, and the second arm is used to detachably snap into the mounting groove 11. In this way, the latching member 24 is provided to facilitate the latching and fixing of the bracket 2 to the mounting groove 11 of the steamer 1, thereby fixing the position of the bracket 2. The L-shaped latching member 24 not only fixes the bracket 2, but also facilitates the removal of the bracket 2 from the steamer 1.

[0072] In the embodiments, see Figure 4 The still 1 is circular with multiple circular holes at the bottom. The mounting groove 11 surrounds the outer periphery of the inner circular area of ​​the still 1. The mounting groove 11 forms an open annular structure at the top of the still 1. In order to allow steam to enter the still 1 during the distillation process, the still 1 has a lid, which is inserted into the mounting groove 11 to cover the still 1 tightly.

[0073] In the embodiments, see Figure 1 In both types of temperature sensors, those of the same length are spaced apart. Since temperature sensors of the same length are used to measure temperature at the same height, they must be spaced apart and not placed side-by-side; otherwise, the temperature measurements would be taken at essentially the same locations.

[0074] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The support 2 has a hollow square tube structure and is made of stainless steel. The temperature acquisition device also includes a signal transmission line 4 and a data acquisition component 5. The signal transmission line 4 is connected to the first temperature detection device 3, and the data acquisition component 5 is electrically connected to the first temperature detection device 3 through the signal transmission line 4. The outer shell of the signal transmission line 4 is made of high-temperature resistant stainless steel. In addition, the probe is also made of high-temperature resistant stainless steel. In this way, the hollow square tube shape of the support 2 helps to reduce its weight, and the stainless steel material has the effect of high temperature resistance and ensuring food safety. Therefore, the support 2 is made of stainless steel, and both the signal transmission line 4 and the first temperature detection device 3 are surrounded by stainless steel outer shells, which protect the electrical connection structure between the two.

[0075] In the embodiments, see Figure 4 For both types of temperature sensors, the first end of the temperature sensor is connected to the bracket 2, and the signal transmission line 4 is connected to the first end of the temperature sensor. The signal transmission line 4 extends out of the bracket 2. When the entire bracket 2 is placed inside the steamer 1, the temperature sensor is located below the bracket 2. After the signal transmission line 4 extends out of the top of the bracket 2, it extends along the length of the bracket 2 and extends out of the steamer 1. Since the signal transmission line 4 needs to pass through the mounting groove 11 to extend out of the steamer 1, a part of the signal transmission line 4 will be pressed tightly in the mounting groove 11 by the steamer cover. Since the outer shell of the signal transmission line 4 is made of stainless steel, the signal transmission line 4 has sufficient strength, so that the signal transmission line 4 can maintain electrical connection with the temperature acquisition device even when under pressure.

[0076] For details, see Figure 1 The temperature acquisition device is located outside the steamer 1 and is connected to the temperature detector inside the steamer 1 and the temperature acquisition device outside the steamer 1 via the signal transmission line 4.

[0077] When using this solution, please refer to the following: Figure 1 The temperature sensor is fixed to the bracket 2, the sampling element 62 is placed inside the support 61, and then the entire temperature acquisition device is placed inside the still 1 to collect the temperature during the loading and distillation process of the still 1, and to collect the sample through the sampling element 62. After the distillation is completed and the still lid is opened, the signal transmission line 4 is disconnected to stop the temperature measurement. After the still 1 is lifted directly by the crane and the still is unloaded, the bracket 2 is removed and the sampling element 62 is taken off to collect the sample.

[0078] In the embodiments, see Figure 1 The signal transmission line 4 is divided into two pluggable sections. The first section is mainly used to be placed inside the steamer 1 and also extends out of the steamer 1 to transmit temperature. The second section is connected to the data acquisition component 5. When in use, the ends of the first and second sections need to be plugged together to transmit temperature data electrically. After the measurement is completed, the first and second sections need to be disconnected before removing the steamer and taking off the temperature acquisition device.

[0079] In this embodiment, when collecting temperature data on the loading and distillation process of the mash in the still 1, the data acquisition component 5 of the temperature acquisition device in this scheme is located outside the still 1, while the support 2, signal transmission line 4, and multiple temperature detectors are all located inside the still 1. Data is collected from multiple locations inside the still 1 through multiple temperature detectors, and then the data is transmitted to the data acquisition component 5 through the signal transmission line 4.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The bracket 2 is detachably mounted on the top opening of the still 1. Thus, after data acquisition and distillation are complete, the bracket 2's detachable connection to the top of the still 1 allows the still 1 and bracket 2 to be disassembled after the distillation process, enabling the bracket 2, signal transmission line 4, first temperature detection device 3, and second temperature detection device 7 to be removed from the still 1 together. This allows the entire temperature acquisition device to be reused in different stills 1 without altering the original structure of the still 1, improving economic efficiency.

[0081] This method ensures airtightness during measurement, collecting temperature data inside the still 1 during the loading and distillation process without affecting on-site operations. It also allows for sample collection from different locations during unloading, enabling real-time monitoring and data acquisition of the internal temperature of the still 1 during loading and distillation. This facilitates the analysis of mash characteristics at different temperatures and locations within the still 1. It does not pose a food safety hazard, requires no modification to the still 1, and does not affect loading, distillation, or unloading operations. It achieves real-time temperature monitoring and data acquisition at multiple locations within the still 1 during loading and distillation, and can collect mash samples from corresponding locations. Further research can be conducted based on the temperature data and various sample characteristics. Compared to traditional methods, this method is simpler to operate, has less impact on the site, and is more accurate.
