Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wooden barrel grinding, and in particular to an automated oak barrel grinding device. Background Art
[0002] Oak barrels, as key containers for aging wines, whiskies, brandies, etc., have complex and delicate production processes. In terms of raw material selection, oak is the best choice because it contains natural compounds such as vanillin, which can add attractive flavors to the liquor. Before production, the oak needs to be naturally air-dried for several years to reduce the moisture content and ensure the stability of the wood and its resistance to deformation. Subsequently, it is cut into barrel staves, softened by heating and bent into shape, and then fixed and assembled with iron hoops. The inner wall is roasted to sterilize and release flavor substances. The grinding link is crucial in the oak barrel production process. The inner and outer surfaces of the assembled oak barrel are rough and have burrs, which not only affect the appearance but also are not conducive to subsequent use. Grinding can remove these defects and flatten the barrel surface. Grinding the outer surface can reveal the delicate texture and unique texture of the oak itself, giving the oak barrel a simple and noble temperament; grinding the inner surface of the barrel provides a more suitable environment for liquor storage, avoiding adverse effects caused by the contact between the liquor and the rough inner wall. The ground oak barrel is not only more delicate in appearance but also provides stable and excellent conditions for the aging process of the liquor, helping the liquor to smooth out its rough flavor edges over a long time and giving birth to a mellow and charming flavor.
[0003] During the process of grinding the burrs on the outer wall of the oak barrel by the existing oak barrel grinding equipment, the grinding sand belt cannot fully fit the outer wall of the oak barrel and the pressure after fitting is insufficient, both of which will affect the smoothness after grinding.

In this design, a camera that can identify the curvature of the oak barrel body 8 can also be installed at the mounting frame 12, so as to realize the automatic identification of the grinding curvature of the oak barrel body 8 and further realize the automatic grinding of the oak barrel body 8.
[0017] Embodiment 2. The lateral movement component 2 includes two lateral slide rails 21 installed at the top of the grinding operation table 1. A lateral slide seat 22 is slidably installed on the outer side of the lateral slide rail 21. A sliding seat 23 is jointly installed at the top of the two lateral slide seats 22. An installation seat 24 is installed at the top of the grinding operation table 1 and between the two lateral slide rails 21. An electric push rod 25 is installed on one side of the installation seat 24. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 25 is connected to the sliding seat 23; The longitudinal movement component 3 includes a longitudinal support frame 31 installed at the top of the sliding seat 23. A lifting motor 32 is installed at the top of the longitudinal support frame 31. A lead screw 34 is installed at the output end of the lifting motor 32. A lifting moving seat 33 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 34 and inside the longitudinal support frame 31. The lifting moving seat 33 is slidably connected to the longitudinal support frame 31. By adjusting the height of the lifting moving seat 33, the purpose of grinding different heights of the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8 can be achieved; The grinding component 4 includes two outward extension mounting arms 41 symmetrically installed on both sides of the lifting moving seat 33 and installed in parallel. A transmission belt pulley 43 is rotatably installed between the two outward extension mounting arms 41. A grinding sand belt 44 is sleeved on the outer side of the two transmission belt pulleys 43. A grinding motor 42 is installed above one of the outward extension mounting arms 41 and corresponding to the transmission belt pulley 43. The output end of the grinding motor 42 is fixedly connected to the rotational axis end of the transmission belt pulley 43. By bringing the grinding sand belt 44 into contact with the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8, the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8 is ground; A spring 55 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 51 and on one side of the guide seat 52. The two ends of the spring 55 are respectively fixedly connected to the guide seat 52 and the lifting moving seat 33. The tensioning roller 59 is located inside the grinding sand belt 44 and is in contact with the rear inner wall. One end of the tensioning arm 57 is rotatably connected to the outward extension mounting arm 41. The included angle between the pulling arm 56 and the tensioning arm 57 is less than ninety degrees. A chip removal component 6 is also installed at the connection between the pulling arm 56 and the tensioning arm 57. Due to the characteristic that the middle diameter of the oak barrel body 8 is larger than the diameters at both ends, the grinding sand belt 44 can be made to fit the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8 by using the fitting roller 54 to fit the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8. During the process of the fitting roller 54 fitting the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8, the included angle between the pulling arm 56 and the tensioning arm 57 changes, further driving the two tensioning rollers 59 to pull the grinding sand belt 44, enhancing the tension state of the grinding sand belt 44, and achieving the tight fit of the grinding sand belt 44 with the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8, thereby improving the grinding effect.
[0018] Embodiment 3. The chip removal component 6 includes a first gear 61 installed at the upper end of the connecting rotating rod 58. A rotating rod 62 is rotatably installed on one side of the pulling arm 56 and close to the first gear 61. A knocking component 64 is installed at the lower end of the rotating rod 62. A second gear 63 is installed at the upper end of the rotating rod 62. The second gear 63 is meshed and connected with the first gear 61. The number of teeth of the second gear 63 is greater than that of the first gear 61. The knocking component 64 is barbell-shaped. By rotating the knocking component 64, the outer side of the grinding sand belt 44 can be knocked, and the wood chips adsorbed on the grinding sand belt 44 during the grinding process can be knocked and vibrated off, which will affect the subsequent grinding effect of the grinding sand belt 44 on the oak barrel body 8. At the same time, by using the tooth number difference between the second gear 63 and the first gear 61, the knocking speed can be reduced, avoiding too fast knocking and causing damage to the grinding sand belt 44, and improving the service life of the grinding sand belt 44.
[0019] During specific use, as an automatic oak barrel grinding device, first, the oak barrel body 8 to be ground is placed in the middle of the grinding part fixing seat 7, and the pressing cylinder 72 is controlled to extend, and the oak barrel body 8 is pressed and fixed through the pressing disc 73. After the oak barrel body 8 is fixed, the lifting motor 32 is controlled to rotate, and the screw rod 34 and the lifting moving seat 33 are used for threaded rotation, so as to adjust the height of the lifting moving seat 33, and thus grind different height positions of the oak barrel body 8. After the grinding height is adjusted, the electric push rod 25 is further controlled to extend, pushing the whole sliding seat 23 to slide, so as to adjust the horizontal position of the longitudinal moving component 3, and thus make the grinding sand belt 44 fit the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8. During the process of the grinding sand belt 44 approaching the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8, since the initial position of the fitting roller 54 is set beyond the contact surface of the grinding sand belt 44 and the oak barrel body 8, the fitting roller 54 will contact the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8 prior to the grinding sand belt 44. After the fitting roller 54 contacts the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8, the longitudinal moving component 3 continues to move horizontally. A thrust will be generated on the guide seat 52 through the fitting roller 54 and the extension plate 53, pushing the guide seat 52 to slide along the guide rod 51 and further compressing the spring 55. At this time, a certain concave will appear at the contact part between the grinding sand belt 44 and the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8, and the contact will be wrapped. The grinding motor 42 is further controlled to rotate, and then the driving belt pulley 43 can be rotated, driving the grinding sand belt 44 to rotate synchronously, so as to grind the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8. Moreover, due to the sliding of the guide seat 52, the pulling arm 56 will be pulled to move. At this time, the pulling arm 56 and the tensioning swing arm 57 will rotate, and the angle between the pulling arm 56 and the tensioning swing arm 57 will also change accordingly. During the changing process, the two tensioning rollers 59 will approach each other and shift backward, generating a tensioning force on the grinding belt 44. During the backward shift of the tensioning roller 59, due to the change in the angle between the pulling arm 56 and the tensioning swing arm 57, the rotating rod 62 and the knocking component 64 will rotate forward and move the knocking component 64 closer to the grinding belt 44, enabling the knocking component 64 to collide and contact the grinding belt 44 during subsequent rotation. After being tensioned, the grinding belt 44 can fit more forcefully against the outer wall of the oak barrel body 8, thereby achieving an improvement in the grinding effect; During the grinding of the oak barrel body 8 by the grinding belt 44, grinding wood chips will also be adsorbed on the grinding belt 44. Due to the fitting of the tensioning roller 59 and the grinding belt 44, the connecting rotating rod 58 will be continuously driven to rotate during the grinding process. The continuous rotation of the connecting rotating rod 58 will drive the first gear 61 to mesh with the second gear 63, further driving the rotating rod 62 and the knocking component 64 to rotate. Every time the rotating rod 62 rotates one circle, the knocking component 64 will collide and contact the grinding belt 44 once, vibrating and dropping the wood chips adsorbed on the grinding belt 44, completing the cleaning of the wood chips, and avoiding excessive residual wood chips from affecting the subsequent grinding efficiency.
[0020] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent replacements, or modifications made based on the present invention to solve substantially the same technical problems and achieve substantially the same technical effects are all covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
