[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a wine aging device 10, the wine aging device 10 includes a wine storage unit 110, an ultrasonic vibration unit 120 and an air filtering circulation unit 130;

[0030] The wine storage unit 110 is used to store wine; the ultrasonic vibration unit 120 is connected to the wine storage unit 110 and is used to vibrate the wine in the wine storage unit 110; the air filtration circulation unit 130 is connected to the wine storage unit 110 and is used to circulate and filter the air in the wine storage unit 110.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 The working principle of the wine aging device 10 is:

[0032] The wine aging device 10 includes a wine storage unit 110, an ultrasonic vibration unit 120 and an air filtration circulation unit 130; the wine storage unit 110 is used to store wine; the ultrasonic vibration unit 120 is connected to the wine storage unit 110 and is used to vibrate the wine in the wine storage unit 110; the air filtration circulation unit 130 is connected to the wine storage unit 110 and is used to circulate and filter the air in the wine storage unit 110.

[0033] In the process of working, the wine aging device 10 stores the wine in the wine storage unit 110, and under the vibration of the ultrasonic vibration unit 120, the vibration can be transmitted to the wine in the wine storage unit 110 through the wine storage unit 110. Therefore, the wine aging device 10 adopts the physical vibration aging technology, and in the process of processing the wine, it follows the natural change mechanism of the wine, uses high-frequency vibration to penetrate the solvent containing the wine, and the cavitation effect generated in the wine stimulates the activation energy of the wine, promotes the high association and esterification reaction of the wine molecular clusters, and accelerates the decomposition and transformation of the irritating volatile substances in the wine, thereby removing harmful components in the new wine, improving the taste of the wine, and making the wine more mellow.

[0034] Moreover, during the operation of the wine aging device 10, the air filtering circulation unit 130 is connected to the wine storage unit 110, and the air in the wine storage unit 110 can be circulated and filtered to filter out harmful substances released by the wine during the aging process. After being released from the wine, the harmful substances will be vaporized and mixed with the air after vaporization, so that the harmful substances in the wine storage unit 110 can be filtered out by filtering the air in the wine storage unit 110.

[0035] In summary, please refer to Figure 1 The wine aging equipment 10 can shorten the storage time of the wine and shorten the production cycle of the wine, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of the enterprise and reducing the production cost.

[0036] Specifically, based on the above content, the gasification process of the light harmful substance components of the wine aging equipment 10 under the action of the high-frequency vibration machine 121 energy application mechanism is as follows:

[0037] (1) Accelerate the decomposition and transformation of low-boiling point components in wine.

[0038] Newly brewed wine contains amyl alcohol components (hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde, etc.), which have pungent, spicy, and lees odors, which are very harsh. The cavitation effect accelerates the continuous decomposition and transformation of volatile substances such as hydrogen sulfide and acetaldehyde, reducing the spicy, pungent, and lees odors (natural storage requires a longer time);

[0039] (2) Accelerate the decomposition and transformation of alcohol fusel oil

[0040] Fusel oil in liquor is a mixture of different types with high boiling points. It decomposes slowly after entering the human body, which can easily cause intoxication, dry mouth and drunkenness. After aging, the decomposition and transformation of fusel oil are accelerated, so that drinking more will not cause intoxication, thirst and sober up quickly.

[0041] (3) Promote the association between wine molecules

[0042] Alcohol and water are both polar molecules with different molecular densities. High-frequency vibration accelerates the fission of various large molecular clusters in the wine into small molecular clusters, and the molecular clusters are highly associated with each other, making the wine soft to the mouth (which is difficult to achieve through natural storage).

[0043] (4) Stimulate the activation energy of wine molecules

[0044] Under the action of high-frequency vibration, the molecular clusters of the wine collide and rub against each other at high speed, stimulating the activation energy of various components in the wine. Among them, the aldehyde substances that stimulate the nasal cavity are continuously decomposed and transformed, accelerating the esterification reaction, forming beneficial acids and esters with aromatic smells, highlighting the mellow and mellow aroma of the wine.

[0045] Please note that, please refer to Figure 1In the present embodiment, when configuring the above-mentioned wine storage unit 110, it is necessary to configure the wine storage unit 110 according to the requirements of wine storage, and the wine storage unit 110 can be manufactured according to the output of the wine, that is, the wine storage unit 110 can have different models, and different models of wine storage units 110 can have different wine storage capacities.

[0046] When configuring the ultrasonic vibration unit 120, the present embodiment adopts that the ultrasonic vibration unit 120 includes a high-frequency vibrator 121 connected to the bottom of the wine storage unit 110. Such a configuration is intended to enable the vibration generated by the ultrasonic vibration unit 120 to be quickly transmitted to the wine, thereby improving the aging efficiency of the wine.

[0047] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the introduction and discharge of wine, the wine storage unit 110 is provided with a feed port 111 and a discharge port 112, and the feed port 111 is located at the upper part of the wine storage unit 110, and the discharge port 112 is located at the lower part of the wine storage unit 110. In order to avoid overflow and improve the efficiency of feeding and discharging, a first check valve and a second check valve are respectively provided at the feed port 111 and the discharge port 112; the first check valve unidirectionally conducts the feed port 111 from the outside of the wine storage unit 110 to the inside of the wine storage unit 110, and the second check valve unidirectionally conducts the feed port 111 from the inside of the wine storage unit 110 to the outside of the wine storage unit 110.

[0048] In order to facilitate the air filtration circulation unit 130 to communicate with the wine storage unit 110 so as to circulate and filter the air in the wine storage unit 110, the upper end of the wine storage unit 110 is provided with an air inlet 113 and an air outlet 114 which are connected to the air filtration circulation unit 130. When the air filtration circulation unit 130 is configured, the air filtration circulation unit 130 includes an air inlet pipe 131, an exhaust pipe 132 and a filter 133; and the two ends of the air inlet pipe 131 are respectively connected to the air inlet 113 and the filter 133, and the two ends of the exhaust pipe 132 are respectively connected to the air inlet 113 and the filter 133, and the filter 133 is used to filter the air derived from the exhaust pipe 132. When the filter 133 is configured, the filter 133 includes a low-temperature condensation component 134. In order to improve the efficiency of air circulation filtration, one or both of the air inlet pipe 131 and the exhaust pipe 132 are provided with a circulation fan 135.

[0049] For further information, please refer to Figure 1 In the process of aging, in order to detect the temperature of the wine body and the temperature of the low-temperature condensation component 134 to ensure the operation state of the wine body aging device 10, the wine body aging device 10 also includes a first temperature sensor (such as Figure 1 A) and a second temperature sensor (as shown in Figure 1The first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor are used to detect the temperature of the wine storage unit 110 and the low-temperature condensation component 134, respectively. When the temperature of the wine storage unit 110 is too high, in order to cool down the wine storage unit 110, the wine aging device 10 further includes an air cooling unit 140, which is used to supply air toward the wine storage unit 110 to control the temperature of the wine unit.

[0050] It should also be noted that the wine aging equipment 10 not only has the above-mentioned advantages of being able to shorten the storage time of wine, shorten the production cycle of wine, and the equipment is fully enclosed, wine-free, additive-free, consumable-free, filter-free, safe and reliable, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of the enterprise and reducing production costs, but can also be used as part of the wine aging system to realize the automation of wine aging; specifically, based on the structure of the wine aging equipment 10, by configuring the corresponding controller 150 and the control program, the controller 150 can adopt the existing technology to automatically complete the wine aging process, thereby improving efficiency and reducing costs.
