[0002] As we all know, in order to ensure the quality of the wine flavor, the distillation and wine collection process in the liquor industry must adopt the process of removing the head and tail. The head refers to the head of the wine, and the tail refers to the tail of the wine.
[0003] In the production process of the wine making system, after the tail wine is taken in the wine picking stage, there is still some time before it is put into the steamer. During this period of time, steam continues to flow into the cooler, causing the cooler to continue to discharge condensed water. Since the alcohol content of this part of condensed water is low or no longer contains alcohol, the wine aroma is very light and there is no hops. The wine body contains some trace impurities and looks turbid. It also has high content of various acids, such as lactic acid, acetic acid, linoleic acid, ester acid, etc. It tastes sour and astringent, with strong off-flavors, bland wine flavor, and tastes very bad. Therefore, the distilled water from this stage is usually discharged directly as wastewater.
[0004] In the brewing process, if the removed brewing distilled water is directly poured away, it will cause certain waste and increase the brewing cost of liquor. At present, there is also a lack of equipment that can directly recycle brewing distilled water. Utility Model Content

[0029] Refer to Figure 1 , the existing brewing system generally includes a wine receiving tank 1 and coolers 2 arranged on both sides of the wine receiving tank 1, and a wine outlet pipe 3 extending into the wine receiving tank 1 is provided on each cooler 2. During brewing, the wine barrel is placed in the wine receiving tank 1 and below the wine outlet pipe 3, and the condensed wine liquid in the cooler 2 can be directly introduced into the wine barrel through the wine outlet pipe 3.
[0030] In the prior art, since the alcohol content of the condensed water discharged from the cooler 2 after the wine is picked is very low or contains no alcohol, it is usually directly discharged into the wine receiving pool 1 as waste water, resulting in a waste of water resources.
[0031] In view of this, an embodiment of the utility model provides a wine-making distilled water recovery system for recovering the wine-making distilled water discharged from the cooler 2 after the wine is picked, thereby saving water resources.
[0032] For details, see Figure 1 The wine distilled water recovery system provided by the embodiment of the utility model is arranged on the wine receiving pool 1, and comprises:
[0033] A first water storage tank 4 and a second water storage tank 5, both of which are used to store distilled water;
[0034] A connecting pipe 6, a first end of the connecting pipe 6 extends into the first water storage tank 4 and is provided with a first stop valve 7, and a second end of the connecting pipe 6 extends into the second water storage tank 5 and is provided with a second stop valve 8;
[0035] Two water receiving components 9 are respectively used to receive the distilled water discharged from the two coolers 2. Each water receiving component 9 includes a water receiving tray 901 and a water receiving pipe 902 connected to the water receiving tray 901. One end of the water receiving pipe 902 away from the water receiving tray 901 is rotatably connected to the connecting pipe 6, and when the water receiving pipe 902 rotates, the water receiving tray 901 and the wine outlet pipe 3 can be opposite or staggered.
[0036] The brewing distilled water recovery system provided by the embodiment of the utility model connects the water receiving tray 901 to the connecting pipe 6 through the water receiving pipe 902 and the rotating joint 903, so that the water receiving tray 901 can be rotated to adjust the position, and the water receiving tray 901 can be just opposite to or staggered with the wine outlet pipe 3 on the rotation trajectory. In this way, when receiving wine, the water receiving tray 901 is rotated to be staggered with the wine outlet pipe 3, which can avoid the interference of the water receiving tray 901 with the wine. When receiving water, the water receiving tray 901 is rotated to be opposite to the wine outlet pipe 3, so that the brewing distilled water discharged from the wine outlet pipe 3 can enter the water receiving tray 901, and then flow along the water receiving pipe 902 and the connecting pipe 6 to the water storage tank for storage, thereby realizing the recovery of brewing distilled water.
[0037] Moreover, in this solution, by setting up two water storage tanks and using a connecting pipe 6 to connect the two water storage tanks and the two water receiving trays 901, it is possible to conduct diversion and guidance according to the alcohol content of the distilled water for brewing during actual use, achieving classified storage of the distilled water for brewing and facilitating its classified use. For example, when the alcohol content of the distilled water for brewing is above a certain value, the first cut-off valve 7 is opened and the second cut-off valve 8 is closed, so that both water receiving trays 901 are connected to the first water storage tank 4. At this time, the distilled water for brewing from both coolers 2 is drained into the first water storage tank 4; when the alcohol content of the distilled water for brewing is below a certain value, the second cut-off valve 8 is opened and the first cut-off valve 7 is closed, so that both water receiving trays 901 are connected to the second water storage tank 5. At this time, the distilled water for brewing from both coolers 2 is drained into the second water storage tank 5.
[0038] The distilled water for brewing recovery system provided by the embodiment of the present utility model can not only realize the recycling of the distilled water for brewing and save water resources, but also classify and store the distilled water for brewing, facilitating its classified use and achieving dedicated use of specific water. Moreover, in this solution, by rotating the water receiving tray 901, the switching from wine receiving operation to water receiving operation can be achieved, without the need to install a water receiving pipe 902 on the wine outlet pipe 3 after wine receiving is completed, nor the need to carry and replace the wine barrel with a water bucket. The whole process is more simple and convenient to operate and has stronger practicability.
[0039] The following will provide a detailed description of the distilled water for brewing recovery system provided by the embodiment of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] According to Figure 1 Exemplarily shown is the distilled water for brewing recovery system of at least one embodiment of the present utility model. The distilled water for brewing recovery system includes: two water storage tanks, two water receiving assemblies 9, and a connecting pipe 6 connecting the two water storage tanks and the two water receiving assemblies 9.
[0041] In this embodiment, the two water storage tanks are respectively the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5, and the two water storage tanks are used to classify and store the distilled water for brewing with different alcohol contents. For example, the first water storage tank 4 is used to store the distilled water for brewing with an alcohol content greater than a certain value, and the second water storage tank 5 is used to store the distilled water for brewing with an alcohol content less than a certain value. Such a setting facilitates the classified use of the distilled water for brewing with different alcohol contents. For example, the distilled water for brewing with an alcohol content greater than a certain value can be used to extract the blending liquid to improve the flavor of the wine, and the distilled water for brewing with an alcohol content less than a certain value can be used as cleaning water for cleaning brewing tools, etc., realizing the comprehensive utilization of the distilled water for brewing, reducing the production cost of liquor brewing, and significantly improving the economic benefits.
[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 1, in this embodiment, the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5 are both arranged in the wine receiving tank 1 and are distributed on one side of the wine receiving tank 1 away from the wine outlet pipe 3 of the cooler 2. Such an arrangement can avoid interference between the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5 and the placement of wine barrels in the wine receiving tank 1, ensuring the recovery of brewing distilled water without changing the original brewing system, and making the transformation and upgrading of the system simpler and more convenient. Of course, in other embodiments, the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5 can also be arranged outside the wine receiving tank 1, as long as the heights of the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5 are lower than the height of the wine outlet pipe 3.
[0043] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 6 is used to connect the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5. For example, the first end of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the first water storage tank 4, and the second end of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to the second water storage tank 5. In this way, the brewing distilled water in the connecting pipe 6 can flow into the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5, providing a basis for the classified storage of brewing distilled water.
[0044] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the connecting pipe 6 extends horizontally along the edge contour of the inner wall of the wine receiving tank 1, and the first end of the connecting pipe 6 extends into the first water storage tank 4, and the second end extends into the first water storage tank 4. Such an arrangement can achieve the simultaneous connection of the connecting pipe 6 with the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5. Moreover, the connecting pipe 6 is arranged along the edge contour of the wine receiving tank 1, which can minimize the structural interference of the connecting pipe 6 on the original brewing system, without changing the existing production site, and is more convenient for installation. The horizontal arrangement of the connecting pipe 6 can ensure that the brewing distilled water in the connecting pipe 6 without external force driving flows smoothly into the first water storage tank 4 and the second water storage tank 5, ensuring the stable operation of the system.
[0045] Refer to Figure 1 , to control the flow direction of the brewing distilled water in the connecting pipe 6, in this embodiment, a first stop valve 7 is provided at the first end of the connecting pipe 6, and a second stop valve 8 is provided at the second end of the connecting pipe 6. Such an arrangement, when it is necessary to connect the connecting pipe 6 with the first water storage tank 4, close the second stop valve 8 and open the first stop valve 7; when it is necessary to connect the connecting pipe 6 with the second water storage tank 5, close the first stop valve 7 and open the second stop valve 8. Furthermore, the precise control of the flow direction of the brewing distilled water in the connecting pipe 6 can be realized, which is convenient for the classified storage of brewing distilled water.
[0046] Refer to Figure 1In this embodiment, two water receiving components 9 are respectively arranged under the wine outlet pipes 3 of the two coolers 2, and are used to respectively receive the brewing distilled water discharged from the two coolers 2, and guide the brewing distilled water into the connecting pipe 6, so that the brewing distilled water of the two coolers 2 can be guided to the water storage tank through the water receiving component 9 and the connecting pipe 6 for storage, and the brewing distilled water is recovered by directly receiving water, with a simple structure and convenient operation.
[0047] In this embodiment, the structures of the two water receiving components 9 are the same, and the positional relationship between the two water receiving components 9 and the corresponding coolers 2 is also the same. Therefore, the following only describes the structure of one of the water receiving components 9 and the positional relationship between it and the corresponding cooler 2 as an example.
[0048] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the water receiving component 9 includes a water receiving tray 901 and a water receiving pipe 902. The water receiving pipe 902 connects the water receiving tray 901 with the connecting pipe 6, and makes the water receiving tray 901 located below the wine outlet pipe 3 of the cooler 2 and above the wine receiving pool 1, so that the water receiving tray 901 can directly receive the wine distilled water above the wine barrel in the wine receiving pool 1. There is no need to reinstall the water pipe on the wine outlet pipe 3 to divert the water after the wine is received, and there is no need to move the wine barrel away and replace it with a water bucket. The whole process is simpler, more convenient and more practical.
[0049] For details, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The top of the water receiving tray 901 is open, so that the water receiving tray 901 can directly receive the wine distilled water discharged from the wine outlet pipe 3, which is more convenient to operate. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water receiving tray 901 for discharging the received wine distilled water. The first end of the water receiving pipe 902 is connected to the water outlet at the bottom of the water receiving tray 901, and the second end of the water receiving pipe 902 is connected to the connecting pipe 6 through the rotating joint 903, so that the water receiving tray 901 is connected to the connecting pipe 6 through the water receiving pipe 902, and the length of the water receiving pipe 902 satisfies: when the water receiving pipe 902 rotates around the rotating joint 903, the movement trajectory of the water receiving tray 901 located at the first end of the water receiving pipe 902 can intersect with the wine outlet trajectory of the wine outlet pipe 3. With such arrangement, during use, when the water receiving tray 901 is rotated to be offset from the wine outlet trajectory of the wine outlet pipe 3, the wine can pass over the water receiving tray 901 and be discharged directly downward into the wine barrel; and when the water receiving tray 901 is rotated to intersect with the wine outlet trajectory of the wine outlet pipe 3, the wine-making distilled water discharged from the wine outlet pipe 3 can directly flow into the water receiving tray 901, and the wine-making distilled water of the cooler 2 can be received and recycled through the water receiving tray 901, thereby achieving the purpose of saving water resources; based on the above-mentioned structural design, a quick switch from the wine receiving operation to the water receiving operation can be achieved, and the operation is simple and convenient, with good practicality.
[0050] For more details, seeFigure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, in terms of vertical height, the heights of the water receiving tray 901, the water receiving pipe 902, the connecting pipe 6 and the water storage tank are arranged from high to low. For example, the water receiving pipe 902 is arranged horizontally, the water receiving tray 901 is arranged above the first end of the water receiving pipe 902, the connecting pipe 6 is arranged below the second end of the water receiving pipe 902, and the water storage tank is located below the connecting pipe 6. In this arrangement, the fluidity of the brewing distilled water is utilized. After the brewing distilled water flows into the water receiving tray 901, it can flow through the water receiving pipe 902 and the connecting pipe 6 in sequence under the action of gravity, and finally flow into the water storage tank for storage, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the brewing distilled water, without the need for external driving force, with a simple structure and convenient implementation.
[0051] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the water receiving pipe 902 can also be set at an angle, and the end of the water receiving pipe 902 close to the water receiving tray 901 is higher, and the end away from the water receiving tray 901 is lower. In this way, the water receiving pipe 902 has an inclined angle, which can accelerate the flow of brewing distilled water, improve the fluidity of brewing distilled water, and make it flow better in the connecting pipe 6.
[0052] The working principle of the brewing distilled water recovery system of the utility model embodiment is:
[0053] When receiving wine, the water receiving tray 901 is rotated to be offset from the wine outlet pipe 3 so that the wine discharged from the wine outlet pipe 3 can pass over the water receiving tray 901 and be directly discharged into the wine barrel in the wine receiving pool 1 .
[0054] After the wine is collected, the water receiving tray 901 is rotated to be opposite to the wine outlet pipe 3, and the wine distilled water is collected. According to the alcohol content of the wine distilled water, it is divided into the following two stages:
[0055] 1. The alcohol content of brewing distilled water is relatively high. At this time, the second stop valve 8 is closed and the first stop valve 7 is opened, so that the brewing distilled water with relatively high alcohol content discharged from the two coolers 2 flows through the water receiving tray 901, the water receiving pipe 902 and the connecting pipe 6 in sequence and then flows into the first water storage tank 4 for storage;
[0056] 2. After the alcohol content of the brewing distilled water is reduced to a certain value, the second stop valve 8 is opened and the first stop valve 7 is closed, so that the brewing distilled water with relatively low alcohol content discharged from the two coolers 2 flows through the water receiving tray 901, the water receiving pipe 902 and the connecting pipe 6 in sequence and then flows into the second water storage tank 5 for storage.
[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0058] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
