Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine mash cooling technology, specifically a device for cooling baijiu mash. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing process of baijiu, after the mash is distilled and removed from the still, it needs to be cooled down to a certain temperature in order to facilitate subsequent processes such as mixing with yeast and piling up.

[0003] During the patent application process, a search revealed a Chinese patent with patent number CN213172277U: a device for cooling fermented mash, comprising: a cooling rack, on which multiple leveling devices are arranged, each leveling device including a rotating shaft and a drive motor, the axis of the rotating shaft being arranged along the width direction of the cooling rack; multiple leveling rods are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and adjacent leveling rods are staggered in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft, with a leveling claw at the end of each leveling rod away from the rotating shaft. This invention utilizes the rotating shaft to drive the leveling rods to rotate circumferentially, while simultaneously using the leveling claws on the leveling rods to disperse thicker or clumped materials, making the materials more evenly distributed on the cooling rack. Furthermore, adjacent leveling rods in the circumferential direction can reach every piece of material on the cooling rack, avoiding uneven cooling or even material clumping, thereby accelerating the cooling effect of the materials and ensuring the temperature uniformity and consistency of the fermented mash.

[0004] The above solution relies on the screen structure and ventilation mechanism of the cooling rack base plate to dissipate heat, but lacks an active air supply device, resulting in low cooling efficiency. In particular, it may not be able to cool down quickly under high temperature or thick layer conditions of mash. In addition, unidirectional cooling (such as blowing air only from above) can easily cause an excessive temperature difference between the surface and bottom of the mash, resulting in incomplete cooling or local overcooling.

The turning assembly 4 turns the fermented mash in sections, ensuring uniform turning of the material during cooling and preventing localized overheating or clumping.

[0026] The cooling assembly 5 includes an upper distribution pipe 501 and a lower distribution pipe 502. Multiple upper conveying pipes 503 are fixedly connected to one end of the upper distribution pipe 501, which passes through the housing 3.

Multiple upper nozzles 505 and lower nozzles 506 are respectively installed on the outer walls of the multiple upper conveying pipes 503 and lower conveying pipes 504. The cooling assembly cools the mash, improving its cooling efficiency.

[0027] The lower conveying pipe 504 is located between the inner walls of the conveyor belt 2, and the upper conveying pipe 503 is located directly above the conveyor belt 2. Multiple upper nozzles 505 and lower nozzles 506 are arranged correspondingly to each other. The upper nozzles 505 and lower nozzles 506 facilitate the cooling of the mash on the upper and lower surfaces of the conveyor belt 2.

[0028] A centrifugal fan 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 1. Two connecting pipes 601 are fixedly connected to the output end of the centrifugal fan 6. The ends of the two connecting pipes 601 away from the centrifugal fan 6 are respectively connected to the upper branch pipe 501 and the lower branch pipe 502. The centrifugal fan 6 delivers airflow to the cooling component 5 through the connecting pipes 601, carrying away the heat of the mash and improving the cooling efficiency.

[0029] Multiple mounting sleeves 402 on the outer walls of the three drive shafts 401 are staggered. The mounting sleeves 402 prevent excessive gaps between the rake teeth 403 from causing the mash to leak, while increasing the turning frequency to ensure thorough mixing of the materials.

[0030] A motor 101 is mounted on one side of the bracket 1. The output end of the motor 101 is fixedly connected to a shaft for driving the conveyor belt 2 to rotate.

The rotation of drive shaft 401 drives mounting sleeve 402 and rake teeth 403 to rotate. The rake teeth 403 are arc-shaped, turning the mash. At the same time, the three drive shafts 401 are located at the front, middle and rear sections of housing 3 respectively, realizing segmented turning and ensuring that the mash is turned evenly. In addition, during the turning of the mash, the centrifugal fan 6 delivers airflow to the upper distribution pipe 501 and the lower distribution pipe 502 through the connecting pipe 601. The upper distribution pipe 501 delivers the cooling airflow to the upper nozzle 505 at the top of the housing 3 through the upper conveying pipe 503 to cool the upper part of the mash, while the lower distribution pipe 502 delivers the cooling airflow to the lower nozzle 506 at the bottom of the conveyor belt 2 through the lower conveying pipe 504 to cool the lower part of the mash.
