Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wine aging technology, specifically to a wine aging device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fresh grapes or grape juice through fermentation, aging, and other processes. Its core function is to convert the grapes' own sugars into alcohol under the action of yeast, while retaining the flavor substances and nutrients of the grapes. It has a unique aroma, taste, and color, making it a beverage that combines natural attributes with technological value.

[0003] Traditional wine aging relies heavily on natural settling, which is not only time-consuming and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to precisely control the oxygen supply in the natural environment, resulting in poor uniformity and unstable quality. At the same time, the lack of effective vibration assistance during the aging process leads to insufficient reactions of substances inside the wine, further affecting the aging effect. In addition, the sealing performance of traditional aging equipment is insufficient, which can easily lead to oxygen leakage or the entry of external impurities, disrupting the stable environment required for aging and failing to meet the needs of efficient and high-quality wine aging.

[0020] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a wine aging device, comprising: Base plate 1, horizontally positioned; The aging barrel 2 is positioned vertically above the base plate 1, and a base 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the aging barrel 2.

One end of the reciprocating spring 55 is fixedly installed on the side of the L-shaped plate 56, and the other end of the reciprocating spring 55 is fixedly installed on the end face of the sliding plate 53. Here, the reciprocating spring 55 is set to assist the aging barrel 2 in reciprocating movement, which can make the wine inside the aging barrel 2 sway. Oxygen supply component 7 is connected to aging tank 2; Specifically, oxygen supply component 7 includes: Oxygen tank 71 is longitudinally arranged above the base plate 1, and the bottom surface of oxygen tank 71 is fixed to the top surface of the base plate 1 by a support 6. The lower end of the connecting pipe 72 is connected to the top surface of the oxygen supply tank 71, and the upper end of the connecting pipe 72 is connected to a rubber hose 74 through a metering valve 73. An oxygen supply pipe 75 is connected at one end to a rubber hose 74 away from the metering valve 73 via a flange. The oxygen supply pipe 75 is slidably connected to the aging tank 2. A corrugated hose 77 is fitted on the outer wall of the oxygen supply pipe 75. The inner wall of the left end of the corrugated hose 77 is fixedly installed with the outer wall of the oxygen supply pipe 75, and the inner wall of the right end of the corrugated hose 77 is spaced apart from the outer wall of the oxygen supply pipe 75.

Here, the metering valve 73 precisely controls oxygen, and the rubber hose 74 and the corrugated hose 77 are adapted to the movement of the aging tank; the through hole 781 of the oxygen outlet pipe 78 and the through hole 791 of the annular pipe 79 achieve uniform oxygen diffusion and improve the uniformity of aging. Sealing component 8 is located at the inlet at the upper end of aging tank 2. Specifically, sealing component 8 includes: The sealing plug 81 is engaged with the inner wall of the inlet at the upper end of the aging barrel 2; A rubber annular sealing bracket 82 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inlet.

The shape of the contact surface between the sealing plug 81 and the rubber annular sealing bracket 82 is adapted. Here, the sealing plug 81 is precisely engaged with the rubber annular sealing seat 82 and the rubber annular sealing clip 83. The contact surface is designed to be compatible, which enhances the sealing performance of the aging tank 2 and prevents oxygen leakage and the entry of external impurities.

[0022] In use, the wine aging device and its operating method first achieve a seal on the aging tank 2 through the precise engagement of the sealing plug 81, rubber annular sealing seat 82, and rubber annular sealing clip 83 in the sealing assembly 8. Then, the vibrator 44 on the top surface of the mounting plate 41 in the vibration assembly 4 is activated. With the rubber pad 42 (hollowed out in the middle) reducing vibration loss and the limiting plate 43 providing directional guidance, the mounting plate 41 drives the first wedge plate 51 on the bottom surface to vibrate longitudinally. The first wedge plate 51 slides along the inclined surface of the limiting groove 59 of the second wedge plate 52, coordinated with the dual guidance of the guide rail 58 and slider 57, and the limiting post 54 and sliding plate 53, to achieve… The reciprocating spring 55 helps to convert vibration into horizontal reciprocating movement of the aging barrel 2, allowing the wine inside to swirl fully. At the same time, the oxygen supply tank 71 in the oxygen supply assembly 7 delivers oxygen to the oxygen supply pipe 1 75 through the connecting pipe 72, the metering valve 73 (for precise oxygen control), and the rubber hose 74. The oxygen is then distributed to the oxygen outlet pipe 78 through the oxygen supply pipe 2 76 and evenly diffused into the wine through the through hole 1 781 and the through hole 2 791 of the annular pipe 79. The corrugated hose 77 adapts to the movement of the aging barrel 2 to prevent damage to the pipeline. Finally, through the synergistic effect of "micro-vibration + reciprocating movement + precise oxygen supply", the aging speed of the wine is accelerated and the uniformity of aging is improved.
