DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical scheme and technical effects of the embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the present invention.

[0022] A wine brewing tank 10 with a temperature regulating function includes a tank body 20 and a temperature control component 30. The tank body 20 includes an outer tank 21 and an inner tank 22 fixed inside the outer tank 21. A cylindrical insulation layer 23 is formed between the outer tank 21 and the inner tank 22. The insulation layer 23 is filled with a material with a good insulation effect, such as polyurethane, so as to isolate the inner tank 22 from the heat exchange with the outside through the insulation layer 23 and the outer tank 21.

[0023] Furthermore, the temperature control component 30 includes a temperature sensor, a heat conductor 31, a cold source, a heat source and a control terminal. The temperature sensor is arranged in the inner tank 22 and is electrically connected to the control terminal, and is used to detect the real-time temperature in the inner tank 22 and send the real-time temperature data to the control terminal, so that the control terminal can compare the real-time temperature of the inner tank 22 with the preset temperature, and adjust the temperature of the inner tank 22 in time to ensure that the temperature during the wine brewing process is the optimal temperature, thereby ensuring the quality of the wine; the heat conductor 31 is arranged in the insulation layer 23, and is used to adjust the temperature of the inner tank 22. The heat conductor 31 is arranged in the insulation layer 23, and can also reduce the heat exchange between the heat conductor 31 and the outside world, thereby reducing The influence of the external temperature on the temperature of the heat-conducting member 31, the lower end of the heat-conducting member 31 is provided with a circulating liquid inlet for adding circulating liquid, and the circulating liquid inlet is equipped with a first three-way valve 32; the upper end of the heat-conducting member 31 is provided with a circulating liquid outlet for discharging circulating liquid, and the circulating liquid outlet is equipped with a second three-way valve 33; the two ends of the heat source are respectively provided with a heat source liquid inlet and a heat source liquid outlet, and the two ends of the cold source are respectively provided with a cold source liquid inlet and a cold source liquid outlet, the heat source liquid outlet and the cold source liquid outlet are both connected to the first three-way valve 32, the heat source liquid inlet and the cold source liquid inlet are both connected to the second three-way valve 33, and the cold source and the heat source are both electrically connected to the control terminal to adjust the temperature of the circulating liquid in the heat source and the cold source through the control terminal.

[0024] Furthermore, solenoid valves 34 are provided on the pipelines connecting the first three-way valve 32 with the heat source liquid outlet and the cold source liquid outlet, and on the pipelines connecting the second three-way valve 33 with the heat source liquid inlet and the cold source liquid inlet. The solenoid valves 34 are electrically connected to the control terminal so as to control the switches of the solenoid valves 34 on different pipelines through the control terminal, so as to select the circulating fluid provided by the cold source or the heat source to be sent into the heat conductive element, and to be able to send the circulating fluid provided by the heat source back to the heat source, and to send the circulating fluid provided by the cold source back to the cold source, so as to avoid the circulating fluid after heating or cooling from entering the cold source or the heat source, causing the temperature in the cold source or the heat source to change dramatically, resulting in the cold source or the heat source needing to increase the power additionally to restore the temperature of the circulating fluid recovered from the heat conductive element 31 to the preset temperature, thereby causing energy waste.

[0025] In this embodiment, manual water valves are also installed on the pipeline connecting the first three-way valve 32 with the hot source liquid outlet and the cold source liquid outlet, and on the pipeline connecting the second three-way valve 33 with the hot source liquid inlet and the cold source liquid inlet, for manually closing the pipeline when the solenoid valve 34 fails, and for manually controlling the opening and closing of the pipeline when repairing the wine brewing tank.

[0026] In one embodiment, the tank body 20 is also equipped with a probe temperature sensor, the display screen of which is arranged on the outside of the outer tank 21 , and the probe extends into the inner tank 22 , so that the staff can check the temperature of the wine liquid in the inner tank 22 .

[0027] In one embodiment, the heat conductor 31 is a corrugated board that is tightly attached to the tank body 20, and the top and bottom of the corrugated board are sealed and fixed to the outside of the inner tank 22, so that the circulating liquid can be introduced into the corrugated board through the circulating liquid inlet to adjust the temperature of the inner tank 22. Compared with using a square pipe as the heat conductor 31, when the corrugated board is used as the heat conductor 31, the flow speed of the circulating liquid is faster, and the temperature of the inner tank 22 can be adjusted faster.

[0028] In one embodiment, the heat conductor 31 is a square pipe fixed in a serpentine shape on the outside of the inner tank 22, so that the circulating liquid is passed into the square pipe through the circulating liquid inlet to adjust the temperature of the inner tank 22. Compared with using corrugated board as the heat conductor 31, when the square pipe is used as the heat conductor 31, the circulating liquid stays in the heat conductor 31 longer, and the heat exchange between the circulating liquid and the inner tank 22 is more complete, which can save the loss of the cold source or heat source when adjusting the temperature of the circulating liquid.

[0029] In this embodiment, at least four reinforcing ribs 24 are provided in the thermal insulation layer 23 to enhance the connection strength between the inner tank 22 and the outer tank 21 to prevent the inner tank 22 from shaking in the outer tank 21. The reinforcing ribs 24 are evenly arranged in the thermal insulation layer 23. The two sides of each reinforcing rib 24 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer side of the heat conductor 31 and the inner wall of the outer tank 21. The two ends of each reinforcing rib 24 are respectively flush with the top surface of the inner tank 22 and the bottom surface of the inner tank 22. In this way, the force of the inner tank 22 expanding outward due to heat can be dispersed to the surroundings, and the inward extrusion force received by the outer tank 21 when the tank body 20 is transported can also be dispersed to the surroundings, ensuring that the shape of the tank body 20 remains unchanged during the wine brewing process and the transportation of the tank body 20, and is the same as the pre-designed shape.

[0030] Furthermore, the wine brewing tank with temperature regulation function is also provided with a slag discharge component 40, which includes an inner slag discharge component 41, an outer slag discharge component 42, a discharge component 43 and a drain valve 45. The inner slag discharge component 41 and the outer slag discharge component 42 are both inverted cone-shaped and the cone heads are both facing obliquely downward. The inner slag discharge component 41 is arranged at the bottom of the inner tank and is connected to the interior of the inner tank. The outer slag discharge component 42 is arranged at the bottom of the outer tank and is connected to the interior of the outer tank. The gap between the outer slag discharge component 42 and the inner slag discharge component 41 is filled with a material with good thermal insulation effect to ensure that the temperature of the inner slag discharge component 41 will not be affected by the external temperature and thus affect the temperature of the inner tank 21, and has good thermal insulation. The material with good effect also forms a buffer, which can effectively prevent the outer slag discharge part 42 from being deformed after being squeezed. The drain valve 45 is arranged at the bottom of the outer slag discharge part 42 and is connected with the interior of the inner slag discharge part 41, so as to discharge the turbid liquid at the bottom of the inner tank. One end of the discharge part 43 is located at the cone head of the inner slag discharge part 41 and is connected with the interior of the inner slag discharge part 41, and the other end of the discharge part 43 extends out of the tank body from the cone head of the outer slag discharge part 42 and is connected with the outside world. A discharge valve 44 is also provided on the end of the discharge part 43 extending from the tank body. In this way, the grape seeds and grape residues produced during winemaking can be gathered at the cone head of the inner slag discharge part 41, and the grape seeds and grape residues can be discharged from the inner slag discharge part 41 by opening the discharge valve 44.

[0031] Furthermore, the wine brewing tank 10 with temperature regulation function also includes a circulation component 50, which includes a circulation pipeline 51, a nozzle 52 and a wine clearing valve 53. The nozzle 52 is arranged at a position near the top of the inner tank 22 to spray the wine in the circulation pipeline 51 onto the top of the wine, and press down the wine cap formed in the center of the tank by the peel, fruit stem, etc. floating on the surface, so as to fully integrate the beneficial substances such as pigments, tannins and flavor substances in the wine cap that promote the wine into the slurry; the nozzle 52 is connected to one end of the circulation pipeline 51, and the other end of the circulation pipeline 51 passes through the outer tank 21 and is connected to the outside. The wine clearing valve 53 is located at a position near the bottom of the outer side of the tank body 20 and is connected to the inside of the inner tank 22, which is used to take out the wine, and can also be connected to the circulation pipeline 51 to send the wine into the circulation pipeline.

[0032] When in use, a preset temperature is set in the control terminal according to the type of wine being brewed. During the wine brewing process, the temperature sensor continuously detects the real-time temperature of the wine liquid in the inner tank 22 and transmits the temperature data to the control terminal. When the temperature of the inner tank 22 is different from the preset temperature, if the temperature is too high, the control terminal will open the solenoid valve 34 on the pipeline connected to the cold source to send the cooled circulating liquid into the heat-conducting member 31 to reduce the temperature of the inner tank 22; if the temperature is too low, the control terminal will open the solenoid valve 34 on the pipeline connected to the heat source to send the heated circulating liquid into the heat-conducting member 31 to increase the temperature of the inner tank 22. In this way, the real-time temperature of the inner tank 22 can be guaranteed to be consistent with the preset temperature, ensuring that the temperature during wine brewing is maintained at the optimal temperature, thereby ensuring the quality of the wine.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
