Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fermentation tanks, and particularly relates to a grape sparkling wine fermentation tank. Background Technique
[0002] Wine fermentation is the core link in the wine brewing process, involving complex biochemical changes. The traditional fermentation method is to put the de-stemmed and crushed grapes into a fermentation container, and the yeast converts the sugar into alcohol. During the fermentation process, it is necessary to control the cap, that is, the pulp and peel floating on the surface of the wine liquid, to ensure the full extraction of color, flavor substances and tannins.
[0003] The existing grape sparkling wine fermenter, such as the Chinese utility model patent named "A Grape Sparkling Wine Fermenter" with the publication number CN216639428U, includes a fermenter. A water inlet pipe is inserted into the top of the fermenter, and a hopper is fixedly connected to the top of the water inlet pipe. Through holes are opened on both sides of the inside of the hopper, and a turning shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the through hole. Partition plates are rotatably connected to both sides of the turning shaft, and springs are fixedly connected between one end of each partition plate and the fermenter; on both sides of the bottom end inside the fermenter, triangular inclined plates are fixedly connected, a second filter screen is attached to the top of the triangular inclined plate, a first filter screen is attached above the second filter screen, and sealing rings are arranged at the joints between the front sides of the first filter screen and the second filter screen and the fermenter. There are many idealized design structures in this patent solution, with serious design defects, not in line with common sense and actually impossible to implement. For example, in the setting of the partition plate, it is known that the hopper is funnel-shaped, with a circular cross-section in a top view and inclined side walls. The partition plate penetrates the hopper and is connected to the hopper through a turning shaft. To ensure that the partition plate can rotate and tilt, slots must be reserved below the inner side and above the outer side of the hopper where the turning shaft is installed to ensure the normal rotation of the partition plate. The reserved slots will cause grape leakage and also do not have a sealing effect. As shown in Figure 6 of the attached drawings of the above-mentioned comparative patent specification, there are no similar grooves on the hopper, and the partition plate is actually set to be square. How can a square partition plate seal the inner side of a hopper with a circular cross-section in a top view? Another example is the setting of the first filter screen and the second filter screen. It is known that the fermenter is circular. To ensure the installation of the first filter screen and the second filter screen, windows equal to its diameter must be opened on the fermenter, which will greatly reduce the structural strength of the fermenter and make it extremely easy to deform. At the same time, only using sealing rings to seal the joints between the front sides of the first filter screen and the second filter screen and the fermenter is a completely idealized design. In actual production, when grapes ferment, a relatively large pressure will be generated, and the existing sealing rings cannot achieve a sealing effect under such pressure. At the same time, to achieve the effect of discharging raw materials together when discharging by pulling out the first filter screen and the second filter screen, once the first filter screen and the second filter screen are pulled out, they will be misaligned with the fermenter, and the sealing rings will lose their function, and the grape raw materials and the remaining juice will directly leak out from the windows where the first filter screen and the second filter screen are installed, with serious design defects. Therefore, it is necessary to design a grape sparkling wine fermenter to address the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a grape sparkling wine fermentation tank, which includes a tank body 1, a transfer pipe 2, a feeding hopper 3, a feeding window 4, a baffle 5, a servo motor 6, a screw rod 7, a first telescopic hose 8, a discharge pipe 9, a horizontal mesh plate 10, a hydraulic rod 11, a pressure gauge 12, a pressure relief valve 13, a suction pipe body 14, a suction pump 15, a second telescopic hose 16, a suction pipe head 17 and a slag discharge pipe 18. One side of the top of the tank body 1 is fixedly penetrated with the transfer pipe 2. The top of the transfer pipe 2 is provided with the feeding hopper 3. The bottom end of the transfer pipe 2 is fixedly connected with the top end of the first telescopic hose 8. The bottom end of the first telescopic hose 8 is fixedly connected with the top end of the discharge pipe 9. The discharge pipe 9 is penetrated and installed at one end of the horizontal mesh plate 10. The bottom end of the tank body 1 is provided with the slag discharge pipe 18;
[0031] The horizontal mesh plate 10 is arranged inside the tank body 1. The middle part of the top surface of the horizontal mesh plate 10 is fixedly connected with the bottom end of the hydraulic rod 11. The hydraulic rod 11 is penetrated and installed at the center of the top of the tank body 1. The pressure gauge 12 and the pressure relief valve 13 are respectively installed on both sides of the center of the top of the tank body 1. The other side of the top of the tank body 1 is fixedly penetrated with the suction pipe body 14;
[0032] The suction pump 15 is installed on the suction pipe body 14. The bottom end of the suction pipe body 14 is fixedly installed with the second telescopic hose 16. The bottom end of the second telescopic hose 16 is fixedly connected with the top end of the suction pipe head 17. The suction pipe head 17 is fixed on the top surface of the other end of the horizontal mesh plate 10.
[0033] In this example, a feeding window 4 is opened on one side of the feeding hopper 3. A baffle 5 is rotatably installed on the surface of the feeding hopper 3 outside the feeding window 4. The top of the feeding hopper 3 is provided with the servo motor 6. The bottom output end of the servo motor 6 is fixedly installed with the screw rod 7. The above structural design can realize the convenient addition and transportation of fermentation raw materials.
[0034] In this example, the outer side edge of the screw rod 7 is closely attached to the inner wall of the transfer pipe 2. The part where the screw rod 7 is attached to the transfer pipe 2 is greater than half of the length of the transfer pipe 2. The above structural design can separate the spaces at both ends of the transfer pipe 2 during the stable transportation of the pulp and peel, and prevent external air and miscellaneous bacteria from entering the tank body 1.
[0035] In this example, the edge of the horizontal mesh plate 10 is attached to the inner wall of the tank body 1. The horizontal mesh plate 10 is made of a folded fine stainless steel wire mesh. The above structural design ensures that the horizontal mesh plate 10 can fully squeeze the pulp and peel, ensuring that the pulp and peel cannot pass through while the wine liquid can.
[0036] In this example, the hydraulic rods 11 are symmetrically distributed on the top of the horizontal mesh plate 10. The length of the hydraulic rod 11 is greater than half of the overall height of the tank body 1. The above structural design ensures that the hydraulic rod 11 can drive the horizontal mesh plate 10 to move vertically by a sufficient distance.
[0037] In this example, the bottom end of the suction pipe head 17 is higher than the top surface of the horizontal mesh plate 10, and the distance between the bottom end of the suction pipe head 17 and the top surface of the horizontal mesh plate 10 is not greater than 1 / 3 of the thickness of the horizontal mesh plate 10. The above structural design ensures that the bottom end of the suction pipe head 17 is close enough to the top surface of the horizontal mesh plate 10, and can fully suck and transfer the wine above the horizontal mesh plate 10 after squeezing the pulp and peel.
[0038] Working principle: When using this device, first open the Figure 3 feeding hopper 3 in it, add the pulp and peel into the feeding hopper 3 through the feeding window 4, then close the baffle 5, start the servo motor 6, and the servo motor 6 controls the auger rod 7 to rotate steadily in one direction, and add the pulp and peel into the tank body 1 through the transfer pipe 2, the first telescopic hose 8 and the discharge pipe 9 to start normal fermentation;
[0039] During the fermentation process, regularly observe the internal pressure through the pressure gauge 12 and relieve the pressure in time through the pressure relief valve 13. After fermenting for a period of time, the pulp and peel float up, control the symmetrically distributed hydraulic rods 11 to extend synchronously, push the horizontal mesh plate 10 to move down to contact the pulp and peel, and squeeze the pulp and peel into the wine to ensure the fermentation effect;
[0040] When it is necessary to separate and discharge the wine from the pulp and peel, control the hydraulic rods 11 to continue to extend synchronously, push the horizontal mesh plate 10 to move down to squeeze the pulp and peel. During the downward movement of the horizontal mesh plate 10, the suction pipe head 17 is driven to move down synchronously and stretch the second telescopic hose 16 until the horizontal mesh plate 10 can no longer move down. The wine submerges the horizontal mesh plate 10, while the pulp and peel are at the bottom of the tank body 1 below the horizontal mesh plate 10. Start the suction pump 15 on the suction pipe body 14, and pump out the wine through the second telescopic hose 16 and the suction pipe head 17. Then open the transfer pipe 2 to discharge the remaining pulp and peel. When cleaning, through the Figure 2 water mist sprayed by the bottom nozzle of the annular water pipe installed on the inner top of the tank body 1 in it to wash the inner wall and internal structure of the tank body 1.
[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
