Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food and chemical analysis, in particular to an aroma smelling training device. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, people like to taste and evaluate various types of wine, or use perfumes of various scents.

[0003] Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced by complete or partial fermentation of grapes or grape juice, which contains acids, ketones, aldehydes, phenols, fats, alcohols, hydrocarbons and other substances. Wine tasting refers to the perception and description of the color, aroma, taste and other characteristics of wine through people's sensory organs. The quality of wine can be judged through sensory tasting, and a comprehensive evaluation can be made on the synergistic results of the many components of wine. Among them, smelling is an indispensable step in wine tasting, and the aroma of wine is the final presentation effect achieved by the combination of multiple different substances. The aroma of high-quality wine will make people feel happy and comfortable. During the tasting process, the taster is required to accurately identify and express its aroma characteristics.

[0004] The aroma of wine can be divided into three categories: primary aroma, secondary aroma and tertiary aroma. The primary aroma, also known as varietal aroma, originates from the wine itself and is usually expressed as various floral, fruity and herbal aromas, such as typical aromas of strawberry, cherry, black currant, blackberry, violet, rose, etc. The secondary aroma is formed during the winemaking process, such as the vanilla, clove and cedar aromas produced by the contact of wine aged in oak barrels with oak, or the baking, bread and biscuit flavors displayed by white wine in contact with lees. The tertiary aroma is the aroma that gradually develops during the aging process of wine, such as high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon wine will emit the aroma of tobacco and cedar after aging, while high-quality Pinot Noir wine can show unique flavors such as mushrooms, leather and truffles.

[0005] Wine aroma refers to substances with special or strong aromas that accompany the evaporation of alcohol in wine, bringing many different aromatic compounds into the air; olfactory training refers to a training method that can help improve olfactory sensitivity;

[0006] The aroma of wine is the result of the combination of multiple types of aromas. The bromine bottles available on the market can only train the recognition of specific odors, but cannot train the coexistence of multiple aromas. There are cumulative, synergistic, separating, fusion and masking effects between aromas, so it is necessary to train compound aromas.

[0007] When it comes to describing scent characteristics, not everyone can quickly reach an accurate and sensitive level. This is because achieving a systematic connection between a sensitive sense of smell and the brain requires professional and long-term training, and this type of training currently usually relies on scent olfactory devices. Existing scent olfactory devices are mostly essential oils or liquid olfactory elements. The number of containers containing different scent substances is huge and not easy to carry. The scent substances need to be applied every time you smell the scent, which is cumbersome and the scent retention time is limited. It is also difficult to express complex aromas.

The cover 2 is provided with an elliptical first through hole 15; the edge of the first through hole 15 is provided with a slot 8, and the scent tube 1 with an elliptical cross section is fixed to the cover 2 through the slot 8.

[0043] The outer shell 3 is cylindrical, has no bottom or cover, and is through-through from top to bottom. An outer wheel disc 5 is embedded inside the outer shell 3 . A second through hole 4 is provided on the side wall of the outer shell 3 . The second through hole 4 is used for inserting a finger to rotate the outer wheel disc 5 .

[0044] The outer wheel disc 5 is in the shape of an annular cylinder, in which the inner disc 6 is embedded. Twelve outer wheel disc slots 12 are evenly distributed on the annular ring of the outer wheel disc 5. The outer wheel disc slots 12 are cylindrical empty slots for placing a plurality of sample bottles 18 for aroma smelling training.

[0045] The base 7 is cylindrical, and a cylindrical inner plate 6 is fixedly provided at the center of its upper surface. The base 7 and the inner plate 6 are integrated. An inner plate slot 11 is fixedly provided on the inner plate 6. The inner plate slot 11 is a cylindrical empty slot for placing a sample bottle 18 for aroma olfactory training.

[0046] As shown in the top view of the device, the first through hole 15 can accommodate the inner disk slot 11 and any one of the outer wheel disk slots 12 at the same time.

[0047] like Figure 2 .a. Figure 2 .b and Figure 2 .c are top views of the outer shell 3, outer wheel disc 5, inner disc 6 and base 7 respectively.
