[0002] Liquor is one of the traditional Chinese alcoholic beverages, and the distillation technology of liquor is a very important part of liquor production. The distillation technology of liquor can be traced back to ancient China thousands of years ago, but the real development began in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the production technology of liquor has been greatly improved, and the most important of them is the use of distillation technology. The picking technology of liquor, which separates distillates of different degrees by the physical and chemical properties of the liquor during the distillation process, is an important part of the modern liquor production process. In the traditional production process, most of the liquor is picked by quantity and quality: that is, the head and tail of the liquor are removed, and the liquor is picked and tasted at the same time. Due to the different alcohol content and temperature, the surface tension of the original liquor at different stages is different, which arouses bubbles of different forms. Therefore, it is supplemented by "picking wine by looking at the flowers", and the two are combined to accurately grade the alcohol content. However, these methods require a lot of manpower and are extremely dependent on manual experience, and it is impossible to unify the standards; and in different production processes, picking wine by quantity and quality or picking wine by looking at the flowers is prone to delay or advance judgment, which reduces the quality of liquor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below through specific implementation modes in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] A wine picking device proposed in an embodiment of the utility model collects images through a camera, provides a structural basis for simultaneously picking wine through alcohol meter readings and hop morphology, improves the accuracy of segmentation during the wine picking process, and thus improves the quality of the finished wine.

[0032] In order to better understand the above technical solution, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0033] This embodiment provides a wine picking device, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: a housing 101, a hop component 104, a wine box 105, an illumination light source 107, a wine outlet 109, a first camera 106 and a second camera 108. The hop component 104, the wine box 105, the light source, the wine outlet 109, the first camera 106 and the second camera 108 are all arranged in the housing 101. A first opening is formed on the top of the housing 101, and a second opening is formed on the side wall of the housing 101. The first opening and the second opening are both correspondingly provided with a door body 102 connected to the housing 101 for opening and closing the corresponding openings. Generally, the door body 102 on the first opening is an openable dome and is provided with an exhaust port. The door body 102 on the second opening is openable, which can facilitate the user to repair the internal accessories of the intelligent wine picking device. A wine inlet is provided on one side wall of the housing 101, and the hop component 104 is arranged close to the wine inlet. The first camera 106, the second camera 108 and the illumination light source 107 are all arranged on the side wall of the housing 101. The housing 101 can not only protect the internal structure, but also prevent external pollutants from contaminating the alcohol solution.

[0034] The hop assembly 104 includes an overflow pipe 1091, a wine picking bowl 1041 and a tray 1042. The tray 1042 is a box-type structure with an opening at the top (it can also be other structures, such as a cylinder, an elliptical cylinder, a polygon, etc.). The wine picking bowl 1041 is located in the tray 1042 and supported on the tray 1042. The wine picking bowl 1041 is provided with a second wine outlet, and the liquid in the wine picking bowl 1041 flows into the tray 1042 through the second wine outlet. The first wine outlet is provided on the side wall of the tray 1042, and the first wine outlet is connected to the top of the wine box 105. The liquid inlet of the overflow pipe 1091 is located in the tray 1042, and the liquid outlet of the overflow pipe 1091 is located outside the tray 1042. The lowest liquid inlet position of the overflow pipe 1091 is higher than the lowest liquid inlet position of the first wine outlet, and the lowest liquid inlet position of the overflow pipe 1091 is lower than the top opening of the tray 1042. The setting of the tray 1042 prevents the alcohol solution from overflowing the wine picking bowl 1041 when the flow rate is too large, or the hops splashing out of the wine picking bowl 1041, causing waste of raw materials and pollution of the external structure. The overflow pipe 1091 prevents the alcohol solution from overflowing the side wall of the tray 1042 when the flow rate is too large, causing waste of raw materials and pollution of the external structure. The shooting direction of the first camera 106 is toward the mouth of the wine picking bowl 1041, and the position of the wine picking bowl 1041 close to the wine inlet is set higher than the position far from the wine inlet, so that the first camera 106 can observe the hops.

[0035] The wine box 105, such as Figure 2As shown, it is generally a cuboid, which is connected to the first wine outlet on the side wall of the tray 1042 through the upper notch, and the alcohol solution to be detected enters the wine tank 105 from the first wine outlet. An inclined baffle 1052 inclined downward is arranged inside the wine tank 105. The wine outlet direction of the wine inlet of the wine tank 105 faces the plate surface of the inclined baffle 1052 and forms an angle of 60° with the inclined baffle 1052. The inclined baffle 1052 is used to slow down the flow rate of the wine liquid when flowing in, and at the same time make the flow rate of the wine liquid entering the water tank more uniform, which helps to reduce the fluctuation of the liquid level. The lower end of the inclined partition 1053 is higher than the bottom plate of the wine tank 105, that is, there is a certain height difference between the lower end of the inclined baffle 1052 and the bottom plate of the wine tank 105, and at least one first through hole penetrating the inclined baffle 1052 is arranged on the inclined baffle 1052, and any first through hole is a strip-shaped hole, so that on the premise of ensuring that the liquid level is as stable as possible, the wine liquid falls more evenly and the falling speed of the wine liquid is increased.

[0036] A background plate 1051 that divides the wine tank 105 into a first chamber and a second chamber is arranged inside the wine tank 105. At least one wine passing groove is opened at the bottom end of the background plate 1051, and at least one second through hole penetrating the background plate 1051 is opened on the plate surface of the background plate 1051. The wine inlet and the inclined baffle 1052 are located in the first chamber; the second chamber includes M alcohol meter chambers. The alcohol concentration measuring device includes N alcohol meters and 1 thermometer. M and N are non-zero natural numbers, and M≥N. Generally, M = N + 1. Each alcohol meter chamber is provided with an alcohol meter or a thermometer; each alcohol meter chamber is communicated with the first chamber through at least one second through hole. Since the wine tank 105 is very high and the alcohol meter chamber is very narrow, the possibility of the alcohol meter being broken when directly placed is relatively high. Therefore, a buffer pad is placed at the bottom of the alcohol meter chamber to absorb the energy during falling and protect the alcohol meter. Each two adjacent alcohol meter chambers are separated by a partition 1053, and at least one wine passing groove is arranged at the bottom end of each partition 1053. At least one third through hole penetrating the partition 1053 is opened on the plate surface of each partition 1053, and each second through hole and third through hole are strip-shaped holes. The design of the wine passing groove and the second through hole makes the liquid levels of the first chamber and each alcohol meter chamber level by using the principle of communicating vessels. The existence of the second through hole speeds up the speed of the liquid levels on both sides becoming level. The background plate 1051 and each partition 1053 are made of but not limited to black opaque plates to serve as the background of the alcohol meter chamber, which is convenient for reading the readings of the alcohol meters and identifying the liquid level position.

[0037] Generally, the wine tank 105 is a transparent wine tank 105, or only the side wall of the wine tank 105 facing the second camera 108 is a transparent side wall, which is used for the second camera to photograph the readings of the alcohol meters and / or thermometers.

[0038] The shooting direction of the second camera 108 is toward the alcohol meter and the background plate 1051, and the top of the background plate 1051 is higher than the maximum height of any alcohol meter floating upward, which is also for the convenience of reading the alcohol meter.

[0039] The wine outlet of the wine box 105 is communicated with the wine outlet main pipe 109.

[0040] The light emitted by the illumination light source 107 is directed toward the alcohol mass flow measurement assembly. Generally, the illumination light source 107 is directed vertically downward to illuminate all alcohol meter compartments. The first camera 106 and the second camera 108 are generally connected to an external industrial computer.

[0041] This embodiment provides a structural basis for picking wine by obtaining alcohol meter readings and hop morphology at the same time through visual detection by a camera, thereby improving the accuracy of alcohol solution segmentation, thereby improving the quality of the finished wine and reducing human interference.
