Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pottery jar liquid level monitoring device, belonging to the technical field of wine making process. Background Art

[0002] A ceramic jar is a container made of fired clay and has good air permeability. Since each finished ceramic jar is different, old ceramic jars will leak. Therefore, wine loss management is a very important task in the process of storing wine in ceramic jars, and it is also a difficult problem that has always plagued the management of various wine companies.

[0003] As the storage volume of pottery jars increases, the number of pottery jars over 10 years old increases, and the number of pottery jars suspected of leaking also increases accordingly. The inspection of leaking pottery jars is often carried out through manual inspections to check whether there is liquid leakage at the bottom of the jar and the ground. After leakage is found, it is necessary to further confirm whether the liquid level inside the pottery jar has dropped. A ladder stool is placed next to the suspected leaking pottery jar. Then, after the personnel climb up the ladder stool, a ruler with a scale is placed vertically along the mouth of the jar above the wine. After it is still, the readings are recorded. This operation needs to be repeated at least twice a month. This operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also there is a deviation in the manual measurement data, and it is impossible to accurately determine whether the liquid level of the wine has changed.

[0004] At present, although there are existing technologies that install infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, etc. on pottery jars for monitoring, these types of products all need to be powered, and scene changes have a great impact on their measurement accuracy. In addition, they have the disadvantages of high cost investment, inconvenient power supply, and safety risks in use. They are not suitable for liquid level monitoring of batches of old pottery jars and leaking pottery jars.

[0005] In addition, there are also devices for making rice wine, such as CN204111730U, or a device for quickly measuring the liquid level in a pottery jar, such as CN209945507U. However, these structures not only have the above-mentioned problems, but also cannot continuously guarantee the sealing of the pottery jar and the accuracy of monitoring. Therefore, there are often disadvantages in actual use and it is easy to waste wine. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a pottery jar liquid level monitoring device, which is arranged on the pottery jar cover of the wine pottery jar, and the pottery jar liquid level monitoring device comprises:

[0007] A sealing connector is inserted into the through hole in the middle of the pottery jar cover, and the sealing connector includes a quick connector, a sealing gasket, and a flat connector that are sequentially connected from top to bottom. A core is arranged inside the flat connector, and the sealing gasket is in sealing cooperation with the through hole;

[0008] A transparent test tube, wherein the transparent test tube has a test tube opening opened downward and the test tube opening is connected to the upper side of the quick connector;

[0009] A float ball floats on the highest liquid level inside the wine pottery jar;

[0010] A double-headed spiral screw, one end of which passes through the sealing connector and extends to the inside of the transparent test tube, and the other end is connected to the float, allowing the float to move to different height positions inside the wine jar under the drive of the double-headed spiral screw.

[0011] Furthermore, the quick connector has a circular interface, and the circular interface has a clamping piece that is clamped with the inner circle of the test tube mouth, so as to facilitate quick plugging and disassembly.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing gasket is made of silicone and its outer periphery has a multi-layer threaded structure to further improve the sealing performance.

[0013] Furthermore, the flat joint is connected to the lower surface of the pottery jar cover through an axial fixing bracket, thereby increasing the overall stability of the sealing connection.

[0014] In one embodiment of the utility model, a scale bar is printed on the surface of the transparent test tube, and the material of the transparent test tube is acrylic.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the double-headed spiral screw located inside the transparent test tube is connected to a ruler ball.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of the double-headed spiral screw connected to the float is provided with an inner and outer thread sleeve to improve the connection stability.

[0017] Furthermore, the portion of the double-headed spiral screw below the sealing connector is sleeved with an outer thread extension tube, and the outer thread extension tube can protect the double-headed spiral screw below the sealing connector to prevent corrosion.

[0018] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0019] The utility model is provided with a sealing connector, a transparent test tube, a float ball, and a double-headed spiral screw to form a monitoring device specially used for extending into a pottery jar to monitor the liquid level of wine. The device can continuously monitor the liquid level change in the pottery jar to determine whether there is a leak. Among them, the sealing connector ensures the sealing of the pottery jar cover by arranging a quick connector, a sealing gasket, and a flat connector, and can also facilitate the rapid disassembly and assembly of the transparent test tube. At the same time, the function of the filler core is to connect a small-diameter external thread extension tube to fix the float ball screw to prevent the screw from shaking left and right and affecting the final reading. The real-time liquid level can be accurately and clearly checked through the scale and the scale ball of the transparent test tube. The overall structure only needs to be installed in the through hole of the pottery jar cover, and the structure is compact, the cost is low, and the installation is simple.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] This embodiment demonstrates the specific application of using the pottery jar liquid level monitoring device of embodiment 1 to detect the liquid level of wine in the pottery jar:

[0040] A normal wine storage ceramic jar 1 is selected, and its ceramic jar cover 2 is made of stainless steel. The height of the wine liquid level is about 21 cm from the jar mouth. The ceramic jar liquid level monitoring device of Example 1 is installed in the through hole of the ceramic jar cover 2, and the joint between the jar mouth and the ceramic jar cover 2 is sealed with food-grade plastic wrap.

[0041] After the float 13 is calm, read the liquid level indication height h1 by looking directly at the scale ball 4 and record the data on site.

[0042] When on-site personnel conduct daily warehouse inspections, they only need to observe the indicated height h2 of the scale ball 4 and compare it with the previous h1. If h2 is less than h1, it is determined that the liquid level has dropped, and the wine jar 1 is suspected of leaking and is listed as a key focus object. If the inspection finds that the liquid level has dropped by more than 5 cm, the wine jar 1 is determined to be a leaking jar, and personnel are arranged to pump out the wine to avoid excessive leakage of wine in the jar and increased loss.

[0043] Among them, the pottery jar cover is round, d = 47cm, thickness = 0.07cm; the through hole d = 2.1cm; the float is made of stainless steel, d = 5.1cm, including 1 welding M6 nut; the core is made of stainless steel, 1 / 8-1 / 2*1; the flat joint is made of stainless steel, 1 / 2*1; the axis fixing bracket is made of stainless steel, d = 0.2cm, 3; the quick connector is PC16-04*1; the sealing gasket is made of silicone, 1 / 2*1; The external thread extension tube is made of stainless steel, DN6*12cm*1 piece; the stud bolt screw is made of stainless steel, M2*28cm*1 piece, including 2 M2 nuts; the internal and external thread braces are made of stainless steel, including 1 external M6*1 internal M4 and 1 external M4*1 internal M2; the scale ball has an outer diameter of 0.8cm*hole center of 0.25cm; the transparent test tube has an outer diameter of d1.5cm*length of 15cm*1 piece, including a scale of 1-10cm, and has a silicone plug with a hole at the bottom.
