[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of baijiu brewing equipment, and in particular to a cylindrical steamer for brewing. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing of baijiu (Chinese liquor), rice husks are an important auxiliary material. They are widely used as a loosening agent to ensure that the moisture content of the fermenting mash is uniform, making it easier to drain and dissipate heat. Adding steamed rice husks to the mash and stirring them evenly allows the yeast and sorghum grains to mix evenly, effectively preventing the sorghum from clumping together.

[0003] In the existing technology, the tilting cooker is a device commonly used for steaming and processing rice husks. After the rice husks are steamed in the cooker, the cooker needs to be rotated and tilted 90° by a motor so that the rice husks can be poured out. However, some rice husks often remain in the cooker, and manual shovels are needed to remove the remaining rice husks. This method of discharge is inefficient and increases the amount of manual labor. Utility Model Content

[0019] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a cylindrical rice bran steamer for brewing is disclosed, comprising: a main body 1, which is cylindrical and vertically installed; a feed inlet 11, which is opened on the main body 1 for rice bran to be fed in; a partition assembly 3, which has a vent hole and is installed inside the main body 1 for carrying rice bran; a mounting shaft 41, which is fixedly installed inside the main body 1, and the partition assembly 3 is rotatably sleeved on the mounting shaft 41; a rotating shaft 42, which is rotatably installed inside the main body 1; a support rod 43, one end of which is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 42, and the other end of which is used to abut against the partition assembly 3; a driving component 44, which is used to drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate; a second air supply pipe 22, which is located below the rotating shaft 42, one end of which passes through the main body 1 and the other end of which is outside the main body 1; and a second air supply component, which is connected to the second air supply pipe 22.

[0021] In this embodiment, by setting the partition assembly 3, the interior of the main body 1 is divided into two chambers, and the second air supply pipe 22 is located in the chamber below the partition assembly 3.

[0022] In practical use, the drive component 44 drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, which in turn raises the horizontal height of one end of the support rod 43, thereby supporting the partition assembly 3 to a horizontal state for the rice husks to be piled on the partition assembly 3. The rice husks to be processed are fed into the main body 1 through the feed inlet 11 and piled on the partition assembly 3, with the second air supply pipe 22 located below the rice husks. The second air supply component is then activated to supply steam into the second air supply pipe 22 to steam the rice husks. The rice husks are steamed for a fixed time. After the rice husks are cooked, the second air supply component is turned off. The drive component 44 then drives the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, which lowers the horizontal height of one end of the support rod 43. Under the action of gravity, the partition assembly 3 tilts, allowing the steamed rice husks to fall from the partition assembly 3, thus completing the rice husk discharge.

[0023] It is worth mentioning that two partition bodies are provided in the partition assembly 3, and the two partition bodies are symmetrically arranged on the mounting shaft 41; correspondingly, two mounting shafts 41 and two support rods 43 are symmetrically arranged on the lower side of the two partition bodies.

[0024] By using this invention, the partition assembly 3 can be supported to a horizontal position for the rice husks to be piled up, thus completing the steaming process of the rice husks; it can also guide the partition assembly 3 to an inclined position for the rice husks to fall and be discharged; compared with the existing tilting cooking pot, this invention does not require tilting the main body 1, and can quickly and thoroughly complete the discharge of rice husks, reducing the amount of rice husks remaining in the main body 1, eliminating the need for manual assistance in discharge, and improving the processing efficiency of rice husks.

[0025] It is worth mentioning that the second gas supply component is a commercially available gas-fired steam boiler, which is installed outside the main body 1. The gas-fired steam boiler heats the water inside the boiler by burning natural gas to generate steam, which is then sent into the main body 1 through the second gas supply pipe 22, so that the rice husks can be steamed.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that a filter screen is laid on the partition assembly 3. Steam rises through the vent holes on the partition assembly 3, and the filter screen prevents the rice husks from falling off. Understandably, the filter screen can be made of commercially available gauze, which can both prevent the rice husks from falling off and ensure air permeability.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the rice bran steamer further includes: several second air supply pipes 22 installed in parallel inside the main body 1; several air outlets are opened on the lower side of the second air supply pipes 22, and the air outlets are opened on the lower side of the second air supply pipes 22 to further prevent rice bran from falling into the second air supply pipes 22.

[0028] Specifically, the driving component 44 is a servo electric cylinder, and the main body of the servo electric cylinder is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the main body 1 via a pin. The steaming machine also includes an arc-shaped block 46, one end of the rotating shaft 42 is fixedly set at one end of the arc-shaped block 46, and the other end of the arc-shaped block 46 is rotatably mounted on the push rod of the servo electric cylinder via a pin.

[0029] It is understandable that the extension and retraction motion of the push rod of the servo electric cylinder can drive the rotating shaft 42 to reciprocate, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the partition body.

[0030] Preferably, the rice bran steamer further includes a limit switch 47, which is disposed on the outer wall of the main body 1, on the side of the arc-shaped block 46 away from the servo electric cylinder.

[0031] It is easy to understand that the limit switch 47 can be any model available on the market. The limit switch 47 is located on the rotation stroke of the arc block 46. The rotation of the arc block 46 can trigger the limit switch 47. The electrical signal can be transmitted through the programmable logic controller via the PLC programming language to control the extension and retraction of the push rod of the servo electric cylinder, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the partition body.

[0032] Specifically, the rice bran steamer also includes: a tapered guide component 7, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, installed on the inner wall of the main body 1. The upper end of the guide component 7 contacts the inner wall of the main body 1, and the lower end of the guide component 7 is used to abut against the partition assembly 3.

[0033] In practical use, by setting up the guide component 7, the rice husks accumulate between the partition assembly 3 and the guide component 7, ensuring the normal operation of steaming the rice husks.

[0034] Specifically, the rice bran steamer also includes a flexible layer, which is circular in shape, made of silicone, and installed on the guide component 7, located between the guide component 7 and the partition assembly 3.

[0035] By setting a flexible layer, when the partition assembly 3 is in a horizontal state, the partition assembly 3 can squeeze the flexible layer to ensure the sealing between the partition assembly 3 and the guide component 7 and prevent the rice husks from falling off.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that the flexible layer should be made of existing heat-resistant silicone.

[0037] Specifically, the rice bran steaming machine also includes: a drive motor 51, which is located on the top of the main body 1; a transmission shaft 52, one end of which is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 51, and the other end of which extends into the main body 1; and a stirring rod 53, which is located inside the main body 1 and is horizontally mounted on the transmission shaft 52.

[0038] The output shaft of the drive motor 51 rotates, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 52 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring rod 53 to rotate inside the main body 1. This flattens the rice husks accumulated inside the main body 1, preventing the top of the rice husks from piling up in a peak shape and increasing the capacity of the rice husks inside the main body 1.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that the drive shaft 52 can be rotatably mounted on the main body 1 via a bearing housing. One end of the drive shaft 52 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 51.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the rice bran steamer further includes: a maintenance cylinder 61, which penetrates the main body 1 and is located below the second air supply pipe 22; a mounting plate, which is fixedly installed on the upper side of the maintenance cylinder 61; and an end cap 63, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate and is used to cover the end of the maintenance hole.

[0041] During installation, the end cap 63 is located inside the main body 1. Under the action of gravity, the end cap 63 hangs down at one end of the inspection cylinder 61, sealing the inspection cylinder 61 and preventing the chaff from falling into the inspection cylinder 61. When maintenance is required, the staff can open it from the other end of the inspection cylinder 61 to facilitate the staff to observe the internal condition of the main body 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, the end cap 63 is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate via a pin.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that the other end of the end cap 63 is fitted with a cover plate by screws, which seals the other end of the inspection cylinder 61.

[0044] Specifically, the rice steaming machine also includes a return pipe 64, one end of which is connected to the lower side of the inspection cylinder 61, and the other end is connected to the interior of the main body 1. The distilled water flowing into the inspection cylinder 61 is returned to the main body 1 through the return pipe 64.

[0045] Specifically, the rice husk steaming machine also includes: several sampling holes 12, which are vertically opened on the main body 1. Workers can use the sampling holes 12 to take samples of rice husks at different heights to observe whether the rice husks are cooked.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that the end of the sampling hole 12 can be sealed with a cap connected by a thread.

[0047] Specifically, the rice bran steaming machine also includes: a limiting pin and a sleeve. One end of the support rod 43 is fixedly installed on the sleeve, the sleeve is sleeved on the rotating shaft 42, and several limiting pins are inserted into the support rod 43 and the sleeve to fix the support rod 43 and the rotating shaft 42.

[0048] Preferably, at the end of the support rod 43 away from the rotating shaft 42, a rotating roller 45 is rotatably mounted via a bearing. The rotating roller 45 rotatably contacts the partition body, which can reduce wear between the two and extend the service life.

[0049] Preferably, the second air supply pipe 22 is installed below the rotating shaft 42, and the rotating motion of the partition body 1 can cover the second air supply pipe 22, further preventing the rice husks from falling into the second air supply pipe 22.

[0050] In this embodiment, a conveying assembly is also provided below the second air supply pipe 22. The conveying assembly can be an existing auger conveyor or an existing chain conveyor. Any model available on the market can be selected, and will not be described in detail here. After the rice husks fall from the partition assembly 3, the conveying assembly transports the rice husks to the next process.
