Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of beer brewing technology, and in particular relates to a beer brewing yeast addition device. Background Technology

[0002] The addition of yeast is a crucial step in beer brewing, directly impacting fermentation and final quality. Traditional methods of adding yeast to beer fermentation tanks typically involve a large filling port. While this design facilitates rapid addition of yeast, it also presents sterilization challenges. Specifically, due to the large diameter of the filling port, the conventional sterilization torch burning around the perimeter often fails to effectively sterilize a large area in the center, allowing airborne bacteria to easily invade the fermentation tank.

[0003] The introduction of contaminating microorganisms poses a serious threat to the beer fermentation process. On the one hand, these microorganisms compete with yeast for nutrients, affecting the yeast's normal growth and metabolism, thus reducing fermentation efficiency. On the other hand, they may also produce undesirable metabolic products, such as off-flavor substances and harmful toxins, severely impacting the taste and safety of the beer. Furthermore, microbial contamination can lead to fermentation failure, causing significant economic losses to beer producers.

[0004] To address this issue, the industry has tried various methods, such as adding sterilization steps and using more efficient sterilizing agents. However, these methods either increased production costs and operational complexity. Therefore, developing a new type of equipment that can effectively solve the problem of incomplete sterilization at the filling port of beer fermentation tanks has become a pressing technical challenge for the beer brewing industry.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a beer brewing yeast addition device. By setting a flame sterilization ring seat and an elevated flame sterilization tower seat at the filling port of the tank, two flame sealing lines are formed, which realizes comprehensive disinfection of the filling port area, effectively prevents the invasion of airborne bacteria, and provides a safer and more reliable environment for beer fermentation.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] This utility model relates to a beer brewing yeast addition device, comprising a tank filling port flame sterilization ring seat and an elevated flame sterilization tower seat; the tank filling port flame sterilization ring seat includes a first annular groove with an upper opening; at least four ear plates are fixed to the outer annular surface of the first annular groove, and the ear plates are provided with insertion holes; the elevated flame sterilization tower seat includes a cone cylinder that is larger at the bottom and smaller at the top; a second annular groove with an upper opening is fixed to the upper end of the cone cylinder; the inner wall of the cone cylinder is fixed with the same number of support legs as the ear plates; the support legs are inserted and installed in the insertion holes.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a first cotton ring is placed in the first annular groove; a second cotton ring is placed in the second annular groove. Alcohol is added to both the first and second annular grooves during use.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the support leg includes a vertical rod that is inserted into the socket; a limit ring plate is fixed on the vertical rod.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two handle rods are fixed symmetrically on the outer wall of the first annular groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two handle plates are fixed symmetrically on the outer wall of the cone; several heat dissipation holes are opened on the handle plates.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the lower diameter of the cone is greater than the outer diameter of the first annular groove; when the heightening flame sterilization tower base is inserted and installed on the flame sterilization annular base of the tank filling port, the lower end of the cone is not lower than the upper end of the first annular groove.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model forms two flame sealing lines by setting a flame sterilization ring seat and an elevated flame sterilization tower seat at the filling port of the tank, which can thoroughly disinfect the filling port area, effectively prevent the invasion of airborne bacteria, and ensure the quality of beer fermentation.

[0016] 2. This utility model addresses the problem that the inlet for adding bacterial liquid to beer fermentation tanks is too large and that the disinfection of a large area in the middle of the conventional sterilization and filling flame ring is incomplete. It designs an increased flame sterilization tower base to narrow the filling inlet, thereby reducing the risk of contamination by bacteria and improving the sterilization effect.

[0017] 3. The height-increasing flame sterilization tower base of this utility model is connected to the ear plate of the flame sterilization ring base of the tank filling port by the support legs. The limiting ring plate on the upright ensures the stability of the connection and avoids the equipment from loosening or falling off during use, thereby ensuring the continuity of the sterilization effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1:

[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a beer brewing yeast addition device, designed to solve the problem of incomplete sterilization of the periphery of the filling port during the addition of bacterial solution to a beer fermentation tank, which easily introduces airborne bacteria. The device mainly consists of two parts: a flame sterilization ring seat 1 for the filling port of the tank and a heightened flame sterilization tower seat 2.

[0032] The flame sterilization ring seat 1 of the filling port of the tank is designed with a first annular groove 11 with an upper opening. At least four ear plates 12 are fixed on its outer annular surface. The ear plates 12 have insertion holes 13 for connecting with the raised flame sterilization tower 2. A first cotton ring 3 is placed in the first annular groove 11. When in use, alcohol is added to the first cotton ring 3. After ignition, a stable flame sealing zone is formed below the filling port, effectively disinfecting airborne bacteria. At the same time, two handle rods 14 are symmetrically fixed on the outer wall of the first annular groove 11 for easy handling and installation by operators.

[0033] The heightened flame sterilization tower base 2 includes a cone 21 that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. A second annular groove 22 with an upper opening is fixed to the upper end of the cone 21. The design of the cone 21 creates a constricted structure at the filling port, reducing the risk of contaminant intrusion during filling. A second cotton ring 4 is also placed inside the second annular groove 22. After alcohol is added and ignited, a second flame sealing line is formed above the filling port, forming a comprehensive disinfection system together with the flame of the first annular groove 11. The inner wall of the cone 21 is fixed with the same number of support legs as the ear plates 12. Each support leg includes a vertical rod 23 that engages with the insertion hole 13. A limiting ring plate 24 is fixed to the vertical rod 23 to ensure that the heightened flame sterilization tower base 2 is securely inserted into the flame sterilization annular base 1 at the filling port of the tank.

[0034] Two handle plates 25 are symmetrically fixed to the outer wall of the cone 21. Several heat dissipation holes 26 are opened on the handle plates 25, which not only facilitates the handling by the operator, but also effectively dissipates the heat generated during the combustion process, ensuring the safe use of the equipment. The lower diameter of the cone 21 is larger than the outer diameter of the first annular groove 11, ensuring that when the heightened flame sterilization tower base 2 is inserted and installed on the flame sterilization annular base 1 at the filling port of the tank, the lower end of the cone 21 is not lower than the upper end of the first annular groove 11, forming an effective flame superposition sterilization area.

[0035] In practical applications, the filling port cap is first disinfected with alcohol. The operator first installs the flame sterilization ring seat 1 on the filling port of the beer fermentation tank, then adds an appropriate amount of alcohol to the first cotton ring 3 in the first ring groove 11 and ignites it. The filling port cap is then opened. Next, the heightening flame sterilization tower seat 2 is connected to the ear plate 12 of the flame sterilization ring seat 1 via its support legs, ensuring a secure connection. Then, alcohol is added to the second cotton ring 4 in the second ring groove 22 and ignited. At this time, the yeast seed culture bottle is poured downwards into the second ring groove 22. As the liquid passes through the constricted structure, it is thoroughly sterilized by both upper and lower flames, effectively preventing the introduction of airborne bacteria and ensuring the quality of beer fermentation.
