Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Chinese liquor, and particularly relates to a Chinese liquor cellar storage device. Background Art
[0002] Newly distilled Chinese liquor contains harmful components such as volatile sulfides and aldehydes. Drinking it directly will produce a pungent and burning taste. During the cellar storage process, these low-boiling substances gradually volatilize, and the concentrations of harmful substances such as methanol and acetaldehyde in the liquor body are significantly reduced, thereby reducing the irritation and potential harm to the human body. When cellaring Chinese liquor, earthenware pots or stainless steel tanks are generally used for cellar storage. When using a stainless steel tank for cellar storage, since carbon dioxide is generated during the cellar storage of Chinese liquor, the accumulation of carbon dioxide may cause the pressure inside the container to rise. In extreme cases, there is a risk of explosion. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to discharge the carbon dioxide. Generally, all the carbon dioxide is discharged at once, resulting in a sudden decrease in the pressure inside the tank. The sudden release of carbon dioxide will disturb the liquor, accelerate the volatilization or oxidation of ester substances, and reduce the aging effect. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the defect that the sudden release of carbon dioxide in the prior art will disturb the liquor, accelerate the volatilization or oxidation of ester substances, and reduce the aging effect, and to propose a Chinese liquor cellar storage device.

Specific embodiments
[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0026] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1-8, a Chinese liquor cellar storage device, including a tank body 1 and a connection cover 2. A valve is connected and arranged at the lower end of the tank body 1. The tank body 1 and the connection cover 2 are sealed by a sealing mechanism. The sealing mechanism includes a fixing ring 3. Fixing rings 3 are fixedly connected to both the tank body 1 and the connection cover 2. The two fixing rings 3 are fixedly connected by a plurality of bolts. A sealing ring is arranged on the connection cover 2, and the sealing ring abuts against the tank body 1, ensuring a sealed environment.
[0027] A sealing plate 7 abuts inside the connection cover 2. A threaded column 11 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 7. A threaded cylinder 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded column 11. Both the threaded column 11 and the threaded cylinder 8 are made of stainless steel material. The threaded cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to the connection cover 2 through a sealing bearing. A sealing plug 25 is fixedly connected to the connection cover 2. A guide through hole 24 opened on the sealing plate 7 is arranged directly below the sealing plug 25. The sealing plug 25 is used to seal the guide through hole 24. By moving the sealing plate 7 upward, when the guide through hole 24 on the sealing plate 7 abuts against and seals the sealing plug 25, the sealing plate 7 still seals the space at the lower end, connecting the carbon dioxide at the upper end of the sealing plate 7 to the rectangular groove. As the sealing plate 7 moves, a small part of the carbon dioxide at the upper end is discharged. In this way, in multiple stages, the value of the pressure reduction in the tank body each time is small, ensuring that the pressure change in the tank body before and after the discharge is not large, and not disturbing the liquor, avoiding affecting the aging effect.
[0028] An exhaust part 6 is fixedly connected to the connection cover 2. A rectangular groove is opened on the exhaust part 6, and the rectangular groove is communicated with the connection cover 2. A cavity 31 is opened inside the connection cover 2. A sealing block 26 abuts inside the cavity 31. The sealing block 26 is used to seal the rectangular groove. The sealing block 26 is triggered by a triggering mechanism. The triggering mechanism moves the sealing block 26 so that when carbon dioxide needs to be discharged, the sealing block 26 moves and opens to discharge the gas, and plays a sealing role when sealing is required, preventing the entry of external air. The reason for not using a one-way valve to discharge carbon dioxide is that the one-way valve only allows gas to flow in one direction, easily causing a sudden drop in the pressure inside the tank and easily disturbing the liquor.
[0029] The triggering mechanism includes a limiting cylinder 9. The limiting cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the connection cover 2. A limiting post 10 is inserted into the limiting cylinder 9. The limiting post 10 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 7. The threaded cylinder 8 and the limiting post 10 play a role in limiting the sealing plate 7, preventing the sealing plate 7 from rotating when the threaded cylinder 8 is rotated.
[0030] The threaded cylinder 8 is driven by a motor 5. The motor 5 is a low-speed motor and rotates slowly. A first gear 13 is rotatably connected to the threaded cylinder 8 through a one-way bearing. A second gear 15 meshes with the first gear 13. A rotating column 32 is fixedly connected to the second gear 15. The rotating column 32 is rotatably connected to the connection cover 2 through a bearing. An incomplete gear 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 32. A third gear 16 meshes with the incomplete gear 14. A rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected to the third gear 16. The rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the connection cover 2 through a bearing. A first bevel gear 29 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 17. A second bevel gear 30 meshes with the first bevel gear 29. A threaded rod 28 is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 30. The threaded rod 28 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 31 through a bearing. A threaded hole 27 is formed in the sealing block 26. The threaded hole 27 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 28. A rack 20 meshes with the second gear 15. By rotating the motor 5 forward to drive the threaded cylinder 8 to rotate, the one-way bearing is in a free rotation state, driving the first gear 13 to rotate. The first gear 13 drives the second gear 15 to rotate. The number of teeth of the second gear 15 is greater than that of the first gear 13, and the tooth ratio can be 6:1, thereby driving the incomplete gear 14 to rotate. At this time, the incomplete gear 14 is not meshed with the third gear 16, as Figures 6-7 shown, so that only the position of the threaded column 11 in the threaded cylinder 8 is adjusted, causing the sealing plate 7 to move upward. When the sealing plate 7 moves upward and the guide through hole 24 abuts against the sealing plug 25 for sealing, the incomplete gear 14 meshes with the third gear 16, driving the rotating shaft 17 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft 17 to drive the first bevel gear 29 to rotate. The first bevel gear 29 drives the second bevel gear 30 to rotate, thereby driving the threaded rod 28 to rotate, adjusting the position of the threaded rod 28 in the threaded hole 27, moving the sealing block 26 to open. As the sealing plate 7 continues to rise, the sealing plate 7 squeezes and discharges the carbon dioxide in the upper part.
[0031] A spring 19 is fixedly connected to the rack 20. The spring 19 is fixedly connected to the connection cover 2. A limiting strip 18 is fixedly connected to the connection cover 2. A limiting sleeve 21 is sleeved on the limiting strip 18. The limiting sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the rack 20. When the sealing plate 7 squeezes and discharges the carbon dioxide at the upper end, it will abut against the top wall of the connection cover 2, and the motor 5 stops rotating. By controlling the pitch of the threaded column 11, when the motor 5 slowly rotates to an integer number of turns, the sealing plate 7 reaches the highest position. Since the spring 19 is compressed at the beginning, when the motor 5 stops, under the action of the restoring force of the spring 19, it drives the rack 20 to move, which will drive the second gear 15 to rotate. Although the second gear 15 meshes with the first gear 13, due to the rotation direction being opposite to the first time, the one-way bearing is in a free rotation state at this time and will not drive the threaded cylinder 8 to rotate. The incomplete gear 14 drives the third gear 16 to rotate. Under the action of the first bevel gear 29, the second bevel gear 30, and the threaded rod 28, the sealing block 26 is reset to re-seal. When the motor 5 rotates in the reverse direction subsequently, the one-way bearing is also in a free rotation state and does not drive the first gear 13 to rotate. Only when the sealing plate 7 is reset, the carbon dioxide in the tank body re-enters the space above the sealing plate 7 through the guide through hole 24. It circulates once at intervals, and a small amount of carbon dioxide is discharged each time, avoiding a sudden drop in the pressure in the tank body.
[0032] A protective shell 4 is fixedly connected to the connection cover 2. The protective shell 4 is fixedly connected to the motor 5. Using the protective shell 4 prevents the gears from being exposed, which is beneficial to the safety of operation.
[0033] Embodiment 2: In Embodiment 1, when the spring 19 is restored, the restoration of the spring 19 is instantaneous, which is likely to cause a large impact on the tank body, generate vibrations on the tank body. The vibrations will cause substances such as esters and acids in the sediment of the wine liquid to re-suspend, breaking the original layered structure, affecting the clarity and taste balance of the wine body. The vibrations will intensify the molecular movement of the wine liquid, prompting volatile substances such as ethanol and aldehydes to escape more quickly, resulting in a dull flavor of the wine body. Refer to Figures 1-8 , as another preferred embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of Embodiment 1.
[0034] A water tank 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting cover 2. The water tank 12 is communicated with a connecting cylinder 22 through a connecting pipe 23. The connecting cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting cover 2. A piston is abutted in the connecting cylinder 22. A moving rod 34 is fixedly connected to the piston. The moving rod 34 is fixedly connected to the rack 20 through a connecting portion 35. A flow control valve 33 is arranged on the connecting pipe 23. When the spring 19 is reset, it drives the rack 20 to move, which will drive the connecting portion 35 to move. The connecting portion 35 will drive the moving rod 34 to move. The moving rod 34 will drive the piston to move, and the water entering the connecting cylinder 22 will be squeezed back into the water tank 12 again. Since the flow control valve 33 controls the amount of water passing through per unit time, it plays a buffering role in the instantaneous restoring force of the spring 19, enabling the spring 19 to be reset slowly, prolonging the reset time of the spring 19, thereby avoiding impacting and vibrating the tank body and preventing the situation of affecting the clarity and taste balance of the wine body.
[0035] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, making equivalent substitutions or changes, should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
