Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of baijiu brewing equipment, specifically a baijiu brewing cellar stepping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional process of brewing baijiu, treading the fermentation pit is an important step before fermentation. Its purpose is to compact the mash in the pit, remove excess air, and create an anaerobic environment suitable for microbial fermentation. The uniformity and compactness of treading the pit directly affect the fermentation efficiency of the mash, the quality of the liquor, and the yield.

[0003] Currently, most small and medium-sized enterprises rely mainly on manual labor for the fermentation process. Workers wear special rubber shoes to enter the fermentation pit and repeatedly walk and tread on the mash to compact it layer by layer by foot.

[0004] However, manual treading of fermentation pits is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but it is also difficult to ensure the consistency of treading force, which can easily lead to uneven treading of the mash, resulting in some areas being too loose or too tight. This affects the uniformity and stability of the fermentation process. In addition, since the fermentation pits are quite deep, workers need to frequently go up and down when moving between different pits, which is inconvenient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, and seriously restricts the overall operating efficiency of the production line.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Example: Reference Figures 1-5 A treading mechanism for brewing baijiu (Chinese liquor) includes a base plate 1 fixedly installed on both sides of a fermentation pit. The base plate 1 has mounting holes at its four corners, allowing it to be fixed to the ground on both sides of the pit using bolts. The mechanism also includes a gantry frame 2 fixedly connected to the base plate 1, covering the entire fermentation pit. An electric cross slide 3 (model can be Linglong Technology-NS2W360 or Ward Machine Tool-WD1719) is installed on the gantry frame 2. An adjusting component is provided on the gantry frame 2 to drive the electric cross slide 3 to move along the long side of the gantry frame 2. A mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the electric cross slide 3. A pressure head 6 for treading the mash is raised and lowered on the mounting frame 5. System components are also installed on the mounting frame 5.

[0019] Of course, in other embodiments, the system components include a controller 8 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 5, which may be a Siemens SINAMICS series or a Schneider Electric Altivar series. A support plate 81 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 5, and an industrial camera 82 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support plate 81. The industrial camera 82 may be a Basler-acA2440-35gc or a Cognex In-Sight 9912M. The industrial camera 82 is electrically connected to the controller 8. At least two lighting lamps 9 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support plate 81. The two lighting lamps 9 are located on both sides of the industrial camera 82 to provide auxiliary lighting for the industrial camera 82 and improve its performance in dark environments. A housing 4 is fixedly connected to the gantry 2, and a screw 41 is rotatably connected inside the housing 4. A motor 43 is fixedly mounted on one side of the gantry 2. The model can be Flander Primo series or Bonfiglioli 700 / 800 series. The output end of motor 43 extends into housing 4 and is fixedly connected to one end of screw 41. Housing 10 is fixedly connected to one side of gantry 2. Motor 43 is located inside housing 10 to shield and protect motor 43 and improve the appearance of the mechanism. Guide groove 44 is opened through housing 4. Slider 42 is threaded on screw 41. Slider 42 is slidably connected in guide groove 44. Electric cross slide 3 is fixedly connected to slider 42. Motor 43 is electrically connected to controller 8. Electric push rod 7 is fixedly installed on mounting frame 5. Its model can be Jiechang JC35FA2 or Thomson Electrak-XD. Connecting plate 71 is fixedly connected to the output end of electric push rod 7. Pressure head 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of connecting plate 71. Electric push rod 7 is electrically connected to controller 8.

[0020] Specifically, in use, the controller 8 starts the motor 43, driving the screw 41 to rotate. Under the action of the screw, the slider 42 slides along the guide groove 44, simultaneously moving the electric cross slide 3, mounting frame 5, pressure head 6, and industrial camera 82 above multiple different fermentation pits. The electric cross slide 3 is precisely positioned directly above the target fermentation pit, facilitating rapid transfer to the target pit for treading operations. Then, the industrial camera 82 captures images of the mash in the current fermentation pit. The controller 8 analyzes and processes these images, combining them with preset process parameters, to optimize and determine the optimal path for the treading task. For example, a serpentine treading pattern or other shaped treading path from left to right. The controller 8 then directs the electric cross slide 3 to drive the pressure head 6 along the planned treading path. The machine moves along the Y-axis and the plane. Simultaneously, the electric actuator 7 drives the pressure head 6 to perform reciprocating pressing motions on the mash in the fermentation pit along the Z-axis according to preset process parameters such as frequency and depth. This fermentation pit pressing mechanism, through the cooperation of the controller 8, industrial camera 82, electric cross slide 3, and electric actuator 7, can mechanically mimic the automatic pressing of mash in the fermentation pit by human feet. This saves time and effort, greatly improves the efficiency of fermentation pit pressing operations, and can also ensure the consistency of pressing pressure, making the mash more evenly pressed. This helps to improve the uniformity and stability of the fermentation process, realizes the standardization of the process, and thus improves the brewing quality of baijiu. When the pressing task of one fermentation pit is completed, the controller 8 restarts the motor 43 and drives the electric cross slide 3 and pressure head 6 to move along the gantry 2 to the next target fermentation pit, and repeats the above process.
