Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brewing technology, and in particular relates to a brewing raw material mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Alcoholic beverages are made from grains, fruits, and other raw materials through processes such as fermentation, distillation, or maceration. Their flavor and quality largely depend on the accuracy of the raw material ratios and the uniformity of the mixing. Brewing raw materials typically include main ingredients, auxiliary ingredients, and regulatory additives. The proportions of different raw materials directly affect the fermentation process, alcohol content, aroma components, and taste balance; therefore, proper proportioning is necessary before adding the ingredients.

[0003] Most current proportioning devices adopt a multi-bin independent feeding structure, and achieve proportioning by controlling the opening time of each raw material electric regulating valve. However, this proportioning method is highly dependent on the stability of the feeding process. Once a blockage occurs during the feeding process, the actual feeding amount will deviate from the set value, resulting in an imbalance in the proportion. In addition, after the proportioning is completed, the raw materials still need to be transferred to another mixing equipment for stirring, which increases the equipment investment and floor space.

[0004] Therefore, there is a particular need for a brewing raw material mixing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of current proportioning devices that rely on electric regulating valves for time control, are prone to clogging leading to proportion imbalance, and require additional mixing equipment, increasing investment and space requirements, this utility model provides a brewing raw material proportioning and mixing device.

A controller is installed on the upper right front side of the support platform. Each electric regulating valve is electrically connected to the controller. The device also includes a stirring shaft, a locking assembly, a motor, a bevel gear, a bevel gear, and a mixing mechanism. A stirring shaft is rotatably installed at the bottom of each hopper. A motor is installed on the upper right side of the connecting plate. The motor is electrically connected to the controller. A bevel gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. A bevel gear is fixedly connected to the right end of the rightmost stirring shaft. The bevel gears mesh with each other.

[0008] Optionally, a mixing mechanism is provided between the support platform and the four discharge pipes. The mixing mechanism includes a guide frame, a guide ramp, a discharge port, a storage frame, a discharge port, a second motor, and a screw conveyor. The guide frame is fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the four discharge pipes. The guide frame has a guide ramp inside. The discharge port is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the guide frame. The storage frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform. The storage frame is located in front of the connecting plate. The bottom end of the discharge port is fixedly connected to the left end of the storage frame.

[0022] Example: A brewing raw material mixing device, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a support platform 1, a connecting plate 2, collars 3, a hopper 4, a discharge pipe 5, an electric regulating valve 6, and a controller 16. The connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform 1. Four collars 3 are equidistantly embedded in the upper part of the connecting plate 2. Each collar 3 is bolted to a hopper 4 to store various brewing raw materials. A discharge pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each hopper 4. An electric regulating valve 6 is installed on each discharge pipe 5 to control the flow of the corresponding brewing raw material. The controller 16, a programmable logic controller (PLC) model Huichuan Easy, is bolted to the upper right front side of the support platform 1. 521-24T4DT, each electric regulating valve 6 is electrically connected to the controller 16, and also includes a stirring shaft 8, a locking assembly, a motor 9, a bevel gear 10, a bevel gear 2 11 and a mixing mechanism. The stirring shaft 8 is rotatably installed at the bottom of each hopper 4. The motor 9 is connected to the upper right side of the connecting plate 2 by bolts. The motor 9 is electrically connected to the controller 16. The output shaft of the motor 9 extends vertically upward, and the bevel gear 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft. The right end of the rightmost stirring shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the bevel gear 2 11. The bevel gear 10 and the bevel gear 2 11 mesh with each other.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a locking assembly is provided between the four stirring shafts 8. The locking assembly includes a fastening nut 82. Each stirring shaft 8 has a threaded groove 81 at one end. A fastening nut 82 is threaded between two adjacent stirring shafts 8 through the threaded groove 81. The fastening nut 82 locks two adjacent stirring shafts 8 together. Alternatively, the fastening nut 82 can be rotated to disengage from the threaded groove 81 of one of the stirring shafts 8, thereby separating two adjacent stirring shafts 8.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mixing mechanism is provided between the support platform 1 and the four discharge pipes 5. The mixing mechanism includes a guide frame 51, a guide ramp 511, a discharge port 52, a storage frame 12, a discharge port 13, a motor 14, and a screw conveyor 15. The guide frame 51 is fixedly connected between the bottom ends of the four discharge pipes 5. The guide frame 51 has a guide ramp 511 inside. The discharge port 52 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the guide frame 51. The lowest point of the guide ramp 511 is aligned with the discharge port 52 to ensure that the various brewing raw materials collected by the guide ramp 511 smoothly enter the discharge port 52. The storage frame 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the support platform 1. The storage frame 12 is located in front of the connecting plate 2. The bottom end of the discharge port 52 is aligned with the left side of the storage frame 12. The storage frame 12 is fixedly connected to the right end of the storage frame 12, and the discharge port 13 is fixedly connected to the right end of the storage frame 12. The discharge channel of the discharge port 13 has a funnel-shaped structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The inlet cross-sectional area is small and the outlet cross-sectional area is enlarged. It can achieve diffusion discharge after receiving concentrated materials and avoid material accumulation. The support platform 1 has a motor 2 14 connected to the top left front side by bolts. The motor 2 14 is electrically connected to the controller 16. The storage frame 12 has a rotating spiral conveyor 15. The discharge port 52 is located above the left end of the spiral conveyor 15. The output shaft of the motor 2 14 extends horizontally to the right and is fixedly connected to the left end of the spiral conveyor 15 by a coupling. The motor 2 14 can drive the spiral conveyor 15 to convey and mix various brewing raw materials at the same time.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a sealing cover 7, insert rods 71, and a label box 17. Each hopper 4 is connected to the upper part of the sealing cover 7. Five insert holes 41 are evenly opened on the upper part of each hopper 4. Five insert rods 71 ​​are evenly fixedly connected to the top of each sealing cover 7. The insert rods 71 ​​are inserted into the corresponding insert holes 41 to achieve precise positioning and reliable docking between the sealing cover 7 and the hopper 4. A label box 17 is connected to the front side of each sealing cover 7 to insert a label indicating the name of the brewing raw materials, so that the operator can quickly identify them.

[0026] In operation, the operator first pulls out the four sealing caps 7 one by one, adds various brewing raw materials to the corresponding hoppers 4, and then closes the sealing caps 7 again. At this time, the insertion rod 71 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 41 to achieve precise positioning and reliable docking. Then, according to the formula, the operator sets the opening time and opening degree of each electric regulating valve 6 on the controller 16. After the setting is completed, the first motor 9 and the second motor 14 are started. After each electric regulating valve 6 is opened, the brewing raw materials in the hopper 4 are discharged into the guide frame 51 through the discharge pipe 5 according to the set flow rate, and then along the guide slope 5. 11 enters the discharge port 52. During the discharge process, motor 19 drives the rightmost stirring shaft 8 to rotate through the meshing of bevel gear 10 and bevel gear 2 11. The rightmost stirring shaft 8 drives the other three stirring shafts 8 to rotate synchronously, pre-dispersing the brewing raw materials in the silo 4 to prevent clumping or bridging, ensuring smooth discharge and maintaining a stable ratio. The brewing raw materials entering the discharge port 52 enter the storage frame 12. At this time, motor 2 14 drives the screw conveyor 15 to rotate, conveying various brewing raw materials to the right. During the conveying process, the spiral blades of the screw conveyor 15... Multiple brewing raw materials undergo tumbling, shearing, and interlacing processes, achieving simultaneous conveying and mixing. This ensures that the different brewing raw materials are evenly distributed within the storage frame 12. The mixed brewing raw materials are discharged from the discharge port 13. The diffusion-type discharge reduces flow velocity and splashing, facilitating subsequent processes. After each electric regulating valve 6 automatically closes according to the set time, motors 9 and 14 are shut down, completing one mixing cycle. Furthermore, the number of collars 3 and hoppers 4 can be precisely increased according to the actual types of brewing raw materials, and the lengths of the storage frame 12 and the screw conveyor 15 can also be appropriately adjusted. The flow rate of the four electric regulating valves 6 from right to left can be set to decrease when the material is discharged from the discharge pipe 5. That is, the flow rate of the electric regulating valve 6 furthest from the discharge port 52 is set to the maximum, and the flow rate of the electric regulating valve 6 closest to the discharge port 52 is set to the minimum (after setting the flow rate, the start and stop time of each electric regulating valve 6 can be appropriately extended or shortened). With this gradient control, the brewing raw materials that enter the storage box 12 later can have more opportunities to intersect with the brewing raw materials that enter earlier during the transportation process, thereby improving the mixing uniformity of various brewing raw materials.
