DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0020] Tail wine usually refers to the part of wine left at the end of the winemaking process. The use of these tail wines varies depending on the winemaking process and region, and one of the uses is to add them back to the mash.

[0021] At present, the tail wine needs to be transported from the steamer area to the corresponding cellar by crane, and then sprinkled on the mash by manual use of a water scoop. However, this method has at least the following problems:

[0022] (1) There are major safety hazards in the lifting process;

[0023] (2) Uneven manual spreading;

[0024] (3) The human contact with the tail liquor during the pouring process is unhygienic;

[0025] (4) Each visit to the cellar lasts about 2-3 hours, and long-term contact of human skin with tail liquor poses health problems;

[0026] (5) Waste of manpower and time.

[0027] The present application provides a tail wine spraying system for entering a cellar, which adopts a spraying method to automatically spray the tail wine, thereby improving various problems existing in the existing manual pouring.

[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the tail wine entering the cellar spraying system includes a delivery pipeline and a control circuit; the delivery pipeline includes a delivery pump 101, a tail wine delivery pipeline 102 and an entry cellar rack pipeline 103; the inlet of the delivery pump 101 is connected to a tail wine container 104 (for example, a tail wine tank), and the outlet of the delivery pump 101 is connected to the tail wine delivery pipeline 102; the entry cellar rack pipeline 103 is arranged on the entry cellar rack, and a spray head 105 is arranged on the entry cellar rack pipeline 103.

[0029] The cellaring rack is welded from stainless steel pipes and is used to break up the mash and buffer the mash pressure. During the cellaring process, the cellaring rack is placed at the entrance of the cellar. When the mash is transported to the cellaring rack on the cellar by the grab bucket, the mash can be broken up. In particular, integrating the cellaring rack with the cellaring rack pipeline 103 can make the structure more streamlined.

[0030] Wherein, N diversion structures 106 (e.g., three-way pipes) are sequentially arranged on the tail wine delivery pipeline 102 corresponding to N cellars, N≥2, wherein the diversion structures 106 are marked as the 1st, 2nd, ..., i, ..., N diversion structures 106 according to the distance from the delivery pump 101 from small to large, and the main road outlet of each diversion structure 106 is provided with a main road valve 107, and the branch road outlet of each diversion structure 106 is provided with a branch road valve 108, and the branch road valve 108 is used to connect the cellar rack pipeline 103, and the main road valve 107 and the branch road valve 108 are normally closed valves, which are a type of valve, characterized in that they are in a closed state under normal circumstances and are only opened when needed. In this embodiment, the normally closed valve is opened when its switch unit is powered on, otherwise it remains closed.

[0031] The main valve 107 , the branch valve 108 and the delivery pump 101 are all connected to the control circuit.

[0032] In the actual implementation process, the cellar entering rack is placed at the cellar that needs to be cellared, and the mash is transported to the cellar by using a grab bucket. During the process of mash entering the cellar, the cellar entering rack pipeline 103 is connected to the branch valve 108 corresponding to the current cellar by using a stainless steel hose, so that the cellar entering rack pipeline 103 is connected to the tail wine delivery pipeline 102, the branch valve 108 corresponding to the current cellar and all the main valves 107 before the current cellar are opened, and the delivery pump 101 is turned on, so that the tail wine is pumped into the cellar entering rack pipeline 103, and then sprayed in the current cellar through the spray head 105.

[0033] In particular, during the spraying process of the current cellar, if there is no spraying demand for the cellar after the current cellar, the main valve 107 of the diversion structure 106 corresponding to the current cellar is kept closed to prevent the tail wine from flowing into the rear pipe to form residue.

[0034] In one embodiment, a control circuit of the above-mentioned tail wine into the cellar spray system is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control circuit includes a power supply 201, a delivery pump control unit 202, a main valve switch unit 203 corresponding to each of the main valves 107, a branch valve switch unit 204 corresponding to each of the branch valves 108, and an electrical conduction switch 205.

[0035] The power supply 201 provides the main power supply for the control circuit. It can be an AC power supply (such as a mains) or a DC power supply (such as a battery). Its voltage and current specifications should be selected according to the requirements of the system. In some embodiments, the power supply 201 may be integrated into a dedicated module, which is responsible for converting the input power into various voltage and current levels required by the system. The power supply module can provide a stable power supply and has functions such as overvoltage, overcurrent and short circuit protection.

[0036] The delivery pump control unit 202 is connected to the delivery pump 101 and is an electronic device or system for controlling the operation of the delivery pump 101. Its main function is to accurately control the start, stop, flow rate, pressure and other working states of the delivery pump 101 according to preset programs and parameters to achieve the delivery and control of materials. In this embodiment, the delivery pump 101 can only be started or controlled when the delivery pump control unit 202 is powered on.

[0037] The main valve switch unit 203 and the branch valve switch unit 204 are respectively connected to their corresponding main valve 107 and branch valve 108. In this embodiment, when the circuits where the main valve switch unit 203 and the branch valve switch unit 204 are located are turned on, the main valve 107 or the branch valve 108 connected thereto is controlled to open.

[0038] The electrical conduction switch 205 is used to control the power on and off of the circuit. Figure 2 Three electrically conductive switches 205 are shown, namely L1 , L2 , L3 .

[0039] Among them, the power supply 201, the delivery pump control unit 202, and N main valve switch units 203 are connected in sequence, the i-th branch valve switch unit 204 is connected to the i-th electrical conduction switch 205 to form an i-th level control branch, one end of the i-th level control branch is connected to the i-1th main valve switch unit 203, and the other end is connected to the power supply 201.

[0040] In one embodiment, one end of the first-level control branch is connected to the delivery pump control unit 202, and the other end is connected to the power supply 201; one end of the second-level control branch is connected to the first main valve switch unit 203, and the other end is connected to the power supply 201, and so on.

[0041] In another embodiment, a main valve 109 is provided at the inlet of the delivery pump 101, and the main valve 109 is a normally closed valve. The main valve 109 is connected to a main valve switch unit 206, and the power supply 201, the delivery pump control unit 202, the main valve switch unit 206, and N main valve switch units 203 are connected in sequence, one end of the first-level control main line is connected to the main valve switch unit 206, and the other end is connected to the power supply 201, one end of the second-level control branch is connected to the first main valve switch unit 203, and the other end is connected to the power supply 201, and so on.

[0042] In the actual implementation process, when the electrical conduction switch 205 corresponding to the current cellar is closed, the branch valve switch unit 204 corresponding to the current cellar, all the main valve switch units 203 before the current cellar, the main valve switch unit 206, the delivery pump control unit 202 and the power supply 201 form a complete conduction circuit, so that the branch valve 108 corresponding to the cellar, all the main valves 107 before the cellar and the main valve 109 are all opened, and the delivery pump 101 can work normally to pump the tail wine to the cellar rack pipeline 103, and the pipeline after the current cellar remains closed to prevent the tail wine from entering the subsequent pipeline and causing residue.

[0043] For example:

[0044] When entering cellar No. 1, just close the electrical conduction switch L1.

[0045] When entering cellar No. 2, disconnect the electrical conduction switch L1 and close the electrical conduction switch L2.

[0046] When entering cellar No. 3, disconnect the electrical conduction switch L1, disconnect the electrical conduction switch L2, and close the electrical conduction switch L3.

[0047] In one embodiment, the delivery pump 101 is based on induction control, and is automatically turned on when the presence of mash is sensed on the cellar entry rack. Exemplarily, the control circuit also includes a mash sensing unit 207, a sensing unit corresponding to each cellar pool connected to an electrical box 208, and the mash sensing unit 207 is arranged on the cellar entry rack.

[0048] The mash sensing unit 207, for example, a weight sensor, will exert pressure on the entry rack when the mash is transported to the cellar through a grab bucket. The more mash, the greater the pressure. The weight sensor will feed back the pressure to the delivery pump control unit 202. The delivery pump control unit 202 converts the pressure received by the sensor into current and feeds it back to the intelligent booster pump to control the motor speed.

[0049] When the i-th cellar is entered, the mash sensing unit 207 is connected to the i-th control branch through the i-th sensing unit corresponding to the i-th cellar via the electrical box 208, so that the power supply 201 can supply power to the mash sensing unit 207, and the mash sensing unit 207 can communicate with the delivery pump control unit 202.

[0050] The tail wine spraying system can spray the tail wine during the process of transporting the mash to the cellar, which reduces the contact between human beings and the tail wine. The control circuit is simple and reliable, and the operation is simple for personnel, which reduces the residue of tail wine.

[0051] Each module and unit in the above-mentioned tail wine into the cellar spraying system can be fully or partially realized by software, hardware and their combination. The above-mentioned modules and units can be embedded in or independent of the processor in the computer device in the form of hardware, or can be stored in the memory of the computer device in the form of software, so that the processor can call and execute the operations corresponding to the above modules.

[0052] The following describes the method of using the above-mentioned tail wine into the cellar spray system, including the following steps:

[0053] 1. Determine the i-th cellar to be stored from N cellars, N ≥ 2.

[0054] In a production area, there are usually multiple cellars, which are designated as the 1st, 2nd, ..., Nth cellars in the order of the diversion structures 106 corresponding to the cellars on the tail wine conveying pipeline 102.

[0055] When entering the cellar, it is usually done in sequence.

[0056] 2. Connect the cellar rack pipeline 103 to the branch valve 108 in the diversion structure 106 corresponding to the i-th cellar.

[0057] When the i-th cellar is put into the cellar, the cellar rack is placed at the cellar entrance, and the cellar rack pipeline 103 is connected to the branch valve 108 corresponding to the cellar through a stainless steel hose.

[0058] 3. Control the branch valve 108 corresponding to the i-th cellar to be opened and the main valve 107 to be closed, and control the main valves 107 corresponding to the 1st to (i-1)th cellars to be opened.

[0059] As in Figure 2 In the control circuit shown, the branch valve switch unit 204 of the branch valve 108 corresponding to the i-th cellar, the branch valve switch unit 204 of the main valve 107 corresponding to the 1st to (i-1)-th cellars, the power supply 201, and the delivery pump control unit 202 form a loop. When the electrical conduction switch 205 on the loop is closed, the branch valve 108 corresponding to the i-th cellar and the main valve 107 corresponding to the 1st to (i-1)-th cellars on the loop are all opened, while the pipeline after the i-th cellar remains closed.

[0060] In some embodiments, a main valve 109 is provided at the inlet of the delivery pump 101, and a main valve switch unit 206 corresponding to the main valve 109, a main valve switch unit 203 corresponding to the main valves 107 of the 1st to (i-1)th cellars, a branch valve switch unit 204 corresponding to the branch valve 108 of the i-th cellar, a power supply 201, and a delivery pump control unit 202 form a loop, and the electrical conduction of the loop is controlled by an electrical conduction switch 205.

[0061] 4. Control the delivery pump 101 to start.

[0062] Exemplarily, the delivery pump 101 is controlled based on the presence or absence of a mash sensing signal on the cellar entry rack, and the mash sensing signal is exemplarily a weight sensing signal.

[0063] When the weight is sensed on the cellaring rack, the delivery pump 101 can be installed with a predetermined program to run and pump the tail wine out of the tail wine container 104.
