This wine retort structure adopts a detachable structural form. By making the wine retort, bottom pot and retort cover separate, it is ensured that the wine retort can be transported separately with the help of a forklift equipment, so as to facilitate the loading of wine lees with automatic loading equipment; and it is also convenient for the subsequent unloading method of the wine lees to be tilted after transportation. During specific use, the wine retort 4 can be transported over long distances with the help of a forklift, and the unloading flap mechanism 7 can realize automatic unloading of the lees inside it, replacing the traditional manual unloading process, thereby effectively improving work efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0063] Furthermore, the bottom pot 1 includes a cylindrical pot body 103, the bottom end of the cylindrical pot body 103 is a conical pot bottom 104, the bottom center of the conical pot bottom 104 is connected to a water outlet pipe 105, and a connecting plate 106 is provided between the water outlet pipe 105 and the conical pot bottom 104. The top outer wall of the cylindrical pot body 103 is provided with a wine retort bottom water seal groove 101 for water sealing through a reinforcing plate 102, and a bottom water tank drain valve 107 is installed on the wine retort bottom water seal groove 101.

In addition, the bottom water tank drain valve 107 facilitates automatic drainage, and the wine retort bottom water seal groove 101 facilitates subsequent water storage, thereby sealing the bottom of the wine retort 4 to prevent air leakage.

[0064] Furthermore, a reinforcing grid plate 108 is provided inside the cylindrical pot body 103 for reinforcing the structural strength of the cylindrical pot body 103. The structural strength and stability of the cylindrical pot body 103 are enhanced by the reinforcing grid plate 108.

[0065] Furthermore, the wine retort 4 includes a wine retort base 401, the top of which is provided with a double-layer wine retort body.

The inner end of the air inlet pipe 601 is connected to an elbow 604 via a connecting flange 603. The other end of the elbow 604 is connected to a main pipe 606. Coils 605 are symmetrically connected on both sides of the main pipe 606. This heating device 6 facilitates the subsequent heating of the water inside the bottom pot 1, facilitating the normal distillation process. Specifically, during the heating process, high-temperature steam is added to the air inlet pipe 601. From the air inlet pipe 601, it enters the elbow 604, enters the main pipe 606, and then enters the coil 605. This ensures uniform heating and facilitates temperature control to ensure the distillation effect.

[0068] Furthermore, the unloading flap mechanism 7 includes a hinge 705 extending radially through the lower portion of the retort 4. A flap frame 703 is connected to each side of the hinge 705.

Casters 702 are symmetrically fixed to each side of the flap frame 703. A second V-shaped unloading flap 704 is located inside the retort 4, directly above the hinge 705. This unloading flap mechanism 7 facilitates the subsequent unloading of the lees, replacing the traditional manual shoveling and unloading process. During unloading, the entire retort 4 is lifted by a forklift. Then, the manual locking latch mechanism 3 is manually actuated to release the restraints on the flap frame 703. The flap frame 703 then opens under the pressure of the lees, allowing the lees inside to be discharged.

[0069] In order to ensure that the subsequent flap frame 703 can automatically close the wine steamer 4 again, it controls the opening angle of the flap frame 703 by setting a turnover limit column 706 to prevent it from being closely attached. In addition, it is convenient for the subsequent contact with the ground by casters 702, and then the flap frame 703 is assisted to close.

[0070] Furthermore, the manual locking latch mechanism 3 includes a handle 301, which is hinged to a handle mounting column 302 via a first pin 303. A latch 306 is hinged to the bottom end of the handle 301 via a second pin 305. The latch 306 is slidably disposed within a sliding sleeve 304, which is fixed to the bottom of the wine retort 4. The latch 306 passes through the bottom of the wine retort 4 and is supported and engaged with the discharge flap mechanism 7. The manual locking latch mechanism 3 facilitates the control of the opening and closing, or automatic closing, of the discharge flap mechanism 7, thereby controlling the automatic discharge or loading of the lees.
