Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of winemaking equipment, in particular to a stainless steel wine tank. Background Art

[0002] Stainless steel wine tanks are a type of wine storage container widely used in the winemaking industry. They are made of high-quality stainless steel materials (usually food-grade 304 or 316 stainless steel). They have many advantages such as strong corrosion resistance, hygiene and safety, and good sealing. They are suitable for the storage, aging and processing of different types of wines.

[0003] During the storage of liquor, the appropriate temperature can promote the slow maturation of various ingredients in the liquor and maintain the stability of the liquor quality. If the ambient temperature fluctuates greatly, it may affect the aroma and taste of the liquor. Therefore, the storage of wine tanks is usually placed in a wine cellar with a constant temperature and humidity environment. However, for wine cellars located in areas with extreme climates or large temperature fluctuations, or for wine cellars with poor thermal insulation performance (such as ground buildings, non-insulated walls, etc.), the wine cellar will experience temperature fluctuations. If stainless steel wine tanks are placed in such wine cellars, as stainless steel wine tanks are metal wine tanks, they have good thermal conductivity. When the outside temperature drops, the stainless steel tanks will transfer part of the cold to the internal wine, which may cause the temperature of the wine to drop. If the temperature drops too low, it may affect the stability and taste of some wines. On the contrary, if the ambient temperature rises, the tank body will also absorb heat and transfer it to the internal wine, which may cause the temperature of the wine to rise. Excessive temperature may accelerate certain chemical reactions in the wine and affect the quality of the wine.

[0004] Therefore, in order to reduce the impact of ambient temperature on the temperature of the wine in the tank, the existing stainless steel wine tanks usually adopt a double-layer tank setting, and fill the interlayer of the tank with insulation materials, so as to reduce the impact of the tank on the external temperature. However, this type of wine tank, firstly, adopts a double-layer tank structure, which greatly increases the weight of the wine tank. The wine tank needs to be cleaned before and after use, and the wine tank with a larger mass is not conducive to handling during the cleaning process. Second, the double-layer tank structure increases the amount of stainless steel, which increases the production cost of stainless steel wine tanks. Third, when the inner tank body has small damage, the damage point cannot be found in time due to the shielding of the outer tank body, which will cause the wine to leak into the interlayer, and the wine will soak the insulation material in the interlayer. In this way, when the wine contaminated by the insulation material exceeds the damage point, the contaminated wine may flow back into the wine tank through the damage point, causing the wine in the wine tank to be contaminated and scrapped. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a stainless steel wine tank to solve the problem that the wine in the existing double-layer wine tank may be completely contaminated due to the damage of the inner tank.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a stainless steel wine tank, comprising a tank body and a heat preservation mechanism, the bottom of the tank body is fixedly connected to a plurality of supporting legs, the bottom of the tank body is connected to a vertical wine drain pipe, and a switch valve is provided on the wine drain pipe;

[0007] The heat preservation mechanism comprises a heat preservation cover, wherein the heat preservation cover is detachably connected to the top of the tank body to insulate the top of the tank body;

[0008] An insulation wall, wherein the insulation wall is composed of a plurality of insulation boards, the plurality of insulation boards surround the tank wall of the tank body to wrap the tank body for heat insulation, and the insulation boards are detachably connected to the tank body;

[0009] The insulating bottom plate is detachably connected to the bottom of the tank body, and is used to insulate the bottom end of the tank body. The upper surface of the insulating bottom plate contacts the bottom end of the insulating board, and a through hole is provided at the contact point between the insulating bottom plate and the insulating board.

[0010] Working principle of the utility model: when using this solution, first connect and fix the insulation bottom plate to the bottom of the tank body, then fix and install multiple insulation plates on the tank wall of the tank body in sequence, and cover the tank cover after the wine is filled into the tank body. During use, if the tank body is slightly damaged and the wine leaks to the outer wall of the tank body, the wine flows downward along the gap between the tank body and the insulation plate under the action of gravity and then drips onto the insulation bottom plate, and the insulation bottom plate contacts the bottom end of the insulation plate, and a through hole is provided at the contact point between the insulation bottom plate and the insulation plate, so the wine on the insulation bottom plate flows out of the insulation bottom plate through the through hole under the action of gravity.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0012] 1. This solution insulates the tank body through multiple insulation plates detachably connected to the tank wall of the tank body. In this way, the tank body is a single-layer setting. Even if the tank body is damaged and the wine leaks, the wine in the tank body will only continue to flow out under the hydraulic pressure in the tank body, and there is no storage space for the wine outside the tank body. Therefore, the outflowing wine will only flow out along the gap between the insulation plate and the tank wall of the tank body and cannot flow back. In this way, even if the leaked wine contacts the insulation plate and is contaminated, it will not cause the wine in the tank body to be contaminated.

[0013] 2. Use a detachable insulation cover, insulation wall and insulation bottom plate to wrap the tank body that needs to be insulated to achieve the insulation function of the tank body. After use, the insulation cover, insulation wall and insulation bottom plate can be removed from the tank body, which greatly reduces the weight of the tank body and reduces the difficulty of carrying the tank body.

[0014] 3. Compared with the existing double-layer stainless steel wine tanks, the amount of stainless steel used in production is reduced, saving the production cost of the wine tanks.

[0015] 4. The insulation wall is composed of multiple insulation boards. In this way, when a certain insulation board is damaged or moldy due to the influence of the surrounding environment and cannot be cleaned, the corresponding insulation board can be directly removed and replaced, which greatly saves the maintenance cost of the wine tank insulation layer.

[0016] Furthermore, the insulation cover, insulation board and insulation bottom plate are all made of aerogel plates. The purpose is that the insulation cover, insulation board and insulation bottom plate made of aerogel plates have good insulation and heat insulation effects.

[0017] Furthermore, the plurality of insulation boards are arc-shaped insulation boards that fit the surface of the tank body. The purpose is to make the protection board fit the surface of the tank body through this arrangement to avoid large gaps that affect the insulation effect.

[0018] Furthermore, the upper surface of the insulation bottom plate is provided with an annular groove for accommodating the bottom end of the insulation board, the width of the groove is greater than the thickness of the insulation board by 1 to 5 mm, and the through holes are provided in plurality and are evenly spaced at the bottom of the groove. The purpose is that when installing the insulation board, the bottom end of the insulation board can be directly inserted into the groove, and the insulation board can be positioned and limited by the groove, so that the insulation board is convenient to install, and the multiple through holes evenly spaced at the bottom of the groove are not only convenient for the discharge of leaked wine, but also allow the staff to quickly identify which direction of the tank body is damaged and causes the wine body to leak by the orientation of the through holes where the wine drips, so that it is easy to quickly find the damaged point and repair the tank body.

[0019] Furthermore, the insulation bottom plate is provided with a plurality of avoidance holes, which correspond to the support legs one by one, and the avoidance holes are used for the support legs to pass through, and each support leg is threadedly connected with a nut, which is located below the insulation bottom plate, and the diameter of the nut is larger than the diameter of the avoidance hole. The purpose is that when installing the insulation bottom plate, after the bottom plate fits with the bottom of the tank body, the nut on each support leg is rotated to move the nut upward until the nut abuts against the insulation bottom plate, so that the bottom plate is fixed.

[0020] Furthermore, three connecting blocks are evenly spaced and fixed on the circumference of the top of the tank wall of the tank body, and each connecting block is connected to an arc rod that rotates in the vertical direction. The arc rods are arranged horizontally, and the three arc rods are connected end to end through buckles to form a fixed ring, and the inner diameter of the fixed ring is the same as the outer diameter of the multiple insulation boards when they are wrapped around the outer wall of the tank body. The purpose is that after the insulation board is installed, the three arc rods are rotated downward to form a fixed ring. At this time, the fixed ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the multiple insulation boards, and then the buckles of the three arc rods are buckled, so that the upper end of the insulation board can be fixed through the fixed ring to prevent the upper end of the insulation board from being too loose, resulting in a poor wrapping effect on the tank body.
