Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of wine barrels, and particularly to a wine barrel. Background Art

[0002] The storage of wine in wine barrels has a history of thousands of years and has profound cultural connotations. When storing wine, since the wine in the barrel will decrease, topping up and barrel changing are required every three months to prevent the wine from spoiling and to allow the wine to slightly contact the air, thereby affecting the quality of the wine. It is also necessary to prevent the wine from fermenting again in the barrel to produce gas, which may cause the wine barrel to explode.

[0003] During the storage of wine, it is necessary to timely remove the excess air and the gas generated by fermentation. However, in the existing wine barrels, when the wine decreases, air is easily generated inside the barrel, and when gas is generated by fermentation of the wine, it cannot be removed, thus affecting the quality of the wine and easily causing the wine barrel to explode. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a wine barrel to solve the problems of wine barrels.

[0005] This application provides a wine barrel, including a barrel lid. An air inlet pipe is disposed through the middle of the barrel lid. A thread is provided on the outer circumference of the upper end of the air inlet pipe. A connecting column is provided at the upper end of the air inlet pipe. A valve seat is provided at the upper end of the connecting column. Valve cores are provided at both ends of the valve seat. A valve cover is sleeved and installed outside the valve core. A sealing gasket is provided inside the valve core. A valve rod is provided at the upper end of the sealing gasket. A protective shell is provided at the upper end of the valve core. The valve rod penetrates through the valve core and extends into the interior of the protective shell. A spring is provided at the upper end of the valve rod. A piston rod is provided inside the spring. A hydraulic rod is provided at the upper end of the piston rod. An adjusting screw is provided at the upper end of the hydraulic rod. The adjusting screw is disposed through the middle of the protective shell. A locking nut is sleeved and installed outside the adjusting screw.

[0006] Preferably, a signal pipe is provided on one side of the connecting column, and one end of the signal pipe is connected to a support rod.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the support rod is fixed to the upper end of the barrel lid, and a display meter is provided at the upper end of the support rod.

[0008] Preferably, threads are provided inside the lower end of the barrel lid, and an outer cylinder is provided at the lower end of the barrel lid. Threads are also provided at symmetric positions on the outer side of the upper end of the outer cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, an inner upper barrel is provided inside the outer cylinder. An inner lower barrel is provided at the lower end of the inner upper barrel. A control pump is provided at the outlet of the inner lower barrel.

[0010] Preferably, a control valve is provided at the side end of the control pump. The control valve penetrates through and is arranged outside the outer cylinder. A wine discharge port is provided at the lower end of the control pump.

[0011] Preferably, support legs are provided at the bottom end of the outer cylinder, and four groups of support legs are symmetrically arranged.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] Considering that it is necessary to timely remove excess air and gases generated by fermentation during the storage of wine, but the existing wine barrels are prone to generating air inside the barrel when the wine level decreases, and cannot remove the gases generated during wine fermentation, thus affecting the quality of the wine and easily causing the wine barrel to explode. When using, the user can observe the pressure value inside the barrel through the display meter. When the pressure inside the barrel is too high, the locking nut fixed at the outer end of the adjusting screw can be manually rotated. When the adjusting screw is rotated up by the locking nut, the piston rod will be pulled. Since the valve rod is installed at the lower end of the piston rod, the valve rod will be pulled up. At the same time, the gasket at the lower end of the valve rod will also be pulled up. When the gasket is pulled up, the gas inside the barrel will be transmitted to the valve seat through the connecting column and discharged from the valve cores at both ends of the valve seat. Due to the small holes on the valve core and the valve cover, the gas inside the barrel will not gush out in a large amount at one time, causing fluctuations in the wine inside the barrel. When the pressure inside the barrel is normal, by rotating the locking nut, the gasket can be made to return to the outlet at the bottom end of the valve seat again. In this way, the gases generated during the fermentation of the wine during storage can be removed, thus not affecting the quality of the wine and not causing the wine barrel to explode due to excessive pressure.

After the gasket 7 is pulled up, the gas inside the barrel will be transmitted to the valve seat 4 through the connecting column 3 and discharged from the valve cores 5 at both ends of the valve seat 4. Since the small holes on the valve core 5 and the valve cover 6 control the gas inside the barrel from gushing out in a large amount at one time, which may cause fluctuations in the wine inside the barrel. When the pressure inside the barrel is normal, by rotating the locking nut 13, the gasket 7 can be made to return to the outlet at the bottom end of the valve seat 4 again. When it is necessary to drain the wine inside the barrel, just open the control valve 19 to start the control pump 18. When the control pump 18 is started, the wine will be discharged through the wine outlet 20.
