Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beer production technology, specifically to a beer filtration device. Background Technology

[0002] Beer is a widely popular alcoholic beverage brewed primarily from water, malt (or other grains), hops, and yeast. The beer production process involves multiple steps, including malting, mashing, boiling, fermentation, maturation, filtration, and packaging.

[0003] Filtration is a crucial step in beer production, primarily aimed at separating the fermented liquid from the solids to obtain clear beer. Existing filtration devices require stirring the malt and other solids to facilitate beer extraction. However, existing filter plates are prone to clogging by the malt, and the scraper is constantly in contact with the filter plate during stirring. This scraper contact method creates cleaning dead zones when cleaning the filter plate and the inside of the support frame. Therefore, we propose a filtration device for beer production.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0015] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a beer filtration device, including a supporting mechanism 1, a support base 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the supporting mechanism 1, a feed pipe 3 passing through the bottom of the supporting mechanism 1, a collection pipe 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed pipe 3, a filter mechanism 5 for filtering beer juice inside the supporting mechanism 1, a stirring mechanism 6 for stirring the malt and preventing the filter mechanism 5 from clogging inside the supporting mechanism 1, and a feed pipe 7 passing through the top of the supporting mechanism 1.

[0016] The supporting mechanism 1 can support and filter the lees that need to be filtered, while the stirring mechanism 6 can stir and loosen the lees, allowing the beer juice in the lees to be filtered and discharged through the filtering mechanism 5. When the stirring mechanism 6 is working, the scraper 18 can contact the top of the filtering mechanism 5 to scrape off the lees remaining on the filtering mechanism 5. The scraper 18 can also be detached from the filtering mechanism 5 during cleaning to prevent dead corners during cleaning. The filtered beer juice can then be discharged through the discharge pipe 3 and the collection pipe 4, while the feed pipe 7 can easily put the lees into the interior of the supporting mechanism 1.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 The supporting mechanism 1 includes a supporting frame 8, a feeding frame 9 and a discharge pipe 10. The bottom of the supporting frame 8 is provided with a tapered feeding frame 9, and the side of the supporting frame 8 is provided with a discharge pipe 10.

[0018] The filter mechanism 5 for filtering beer juice is installed inside the support frame 8. After the beer juice is filtered by the lees, it is discharged into the discharge pipe 3 through the conical discharge pipe 10.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The stirring mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 11, a connecting frame 12, a support shaft 13, stirring blades 14, and lifting claws 15. The drive motor 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the bearing frame 8. The output end of the drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 12. The support shaft 13 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting frame 12. Multiple sets of stirring blades 14 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting frame 12. The stirring blades 14 are bent. The bottom of the stirring blades 14 is fixedly connected to the inclined lifting claws 15.

[0020] After the wheat lees are placed into the support frame 8, the drive motor 11 drives the connecting frame 12 and the stirring blade 14 to rotate. The stirring blade 14 is provided with multiple bending positions and cooperates with the inclined lifting claw 15 to loosen and lift the placed wheat lees. This setting can loosen the originally compacted wheat lees and allow the liquid in the wheat lees to be filtered and fall down quickly.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stirring mechanism 6 also includes a mounting frame 16, a telescopic rod 17, a scraper 18, a threaded sleeve 19, and a threaded rod 20. The mounting frame 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting frame 12. Two sets of telescopic rods 17 are slidably connected to the mounting frame 16. The scraper 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod 17. The threaded sleeve 19 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame 16. The threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded sleeve 19. The bottom of the threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected to the scraper 18 through a rotating seat 22. The top of the threaded rod 20 is fixedly connected to a knob 21.

[0022] The scraper 18, which is set to contact the top of the filter mechanism 5 when the wheat lees are stirred, prevents the wheat lees from accumulating on the filter mechanism 5. When it is necessary to clean the filter mechanism 5 and the scraper 18, the knob 21 is rotated to move the threaded rod 20 along the inside of the threaded sleeve 19. This allows the scraper 18 to be lifted upwards via the telescopic rod 17, thereby disengaging the scraper 18 from the filter mechanism 5 and avoiding cleaning dead corners.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 The filter mechanism 5 includes a support frame 23, a filter plate 24, filter holes 25, and a sealing gasket 26. The support frame 23 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 8. The top of the support frame 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support frame 8 through multiple sets of reinforcing plates 27. The bottom of the filter plate 24 is fixedly connected to a sealing gasket 26 that contacts the top of the support frame 23. Multiple sets of filter holes 25 are opened on the filter plate 24. The filter holes 25 are set as an inverted trapezoidal structure.

[0024] After the lees are placed inside the support frame 8, the filter holes 25 can filter the beer juice in the lees and let it fall down. The inverted trapezoidal filter holes 25 block the lees, so that even if a small amount of lees falls into the filter holes 25, it will not cause the entire filter holes 25 to be blocked. Compared with straight cylindrical holes, the inverted trapezoidal filter holes 25 can provide a larger initial flow cross section, which helps to reduce the possibility of particulate matter entering the holes and causing blockage immediately.

[0025] In use, the supporting mechanism 1 first supports and filters the lees, while the stirring mechanism 6 loosens the lees, allowing the beer juice in the lees to be filtered and discharged through the filtering mechanism 5. During the operation of the stirring mechanism 6, the scraper 18 contacts the top of the filtering mechanism 5 to scrape off any remaining lees. The scraper 18 can also be detached from the filtering mechanism 5 during cleaning to prevent dead corners. The filtered beer juice is then discharged through the discharge pipe 3 and collection pipe 4. The feed pipe 7 allows the lees to be easily placed into the supporting mechanism 1. The filtering mechanism 5 for beer juice filtration is installed inside the supporting frame 8. After the beer juice is filtered by the lees, it is discharged through the conical discharge pipe 10 into the discharge pipe 3. After the lees are placed into the supporting frame 8, the drive motor 11 rotates the connecting frame 12 and the stirring blade 14. The stirring blade 14 has multiple bending positions and is inclined. The lifting claws 15 work together to loosen and lift the placed wheat lees. This design loosens the originally compacted wheat lees, allowing the liquid in the lees to filter and fall quickly. When stirring the wheat lees, the scraper 18 can contact the top of the filter mechanism 5 to prevent the wheat lees from accumulating on the filter mechanism 5. When it is necessary to clean the filter mechanism 5 and the scraper 18, rotate the knob 21 to move the threaded rod 20 along the inside of the threaded sleeve 19, which allows the scraper 18 to be lifted upwards via the telescopic rod 17. This allows the scraper 18 to detach from the filter mechanism 5, avoiding cleaning dead corners. After the lees are placed inside the support frame 8, the filter holes 25 can filter the beer juice in the lees and make it fall down. The inverted trapezoidal filter holes 25 block the lees, so that even if a small batch of lees falls into the filter holes 25, it will not cause the entire filter holes 25 to be blocked. Compared with straight cylindrical holes, the inverted trapezoidal filter holes 25 can provide a larger initial flow cross section, which helps to reduce the possibility of particulate matter entering the holes and causing immediate blockage.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
