Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of oak processing, and in particular, to an oak rod for a wine barrel. Background Technique

[0002] An oak barrel is a wine storage container that has been used since a very early time, and its history can even be traced back to ancient times. It is regarded as a symbol of art, status and taste. During the process of aging wine in an oak barrel, chemical substances such as tannins, vanillin, oak lactone, and eugenol in the barrel will dissolve in the wine. These substances can make the color of the wine more stable, the taste more mellow, and the fragrance more harmonious. Different oak barrels will give different aromas to the wine because different types of oak barrels and different baking degrees can create completely different wines.

[0003] The inner wall of the oak barrel is installed with lignin, that is, oak, which has rich pores and textures. These fine pores can fully absorb trace elements and components in the fine wine and release the aroma and taste in the wood, which is very beneficial for wine flavoring because it can make the wine more aromatic and flavorful. There are many types of oak in the world, and due to different structures and components, each type of oak gives a different flavor to the wine.

[0004] The existing Chinese patent with the patent number CN202123395407.3 and the patent name of an oak wine barrel with visible interior includes a wine barrel body with a hollow interior and a U-shaped bracket for placing the wine barrel body. The wine barrel body is composed of a drum-shaped barrel body and barrel surfaces and barrel bottoms on both sides. An observation window made of a transparent material is embedded in the barrel bottom. A wooden plug and a status display block are provided on the drum-shaped barrel body, and a wine valve communicating with the inside of the wine barrel body is provided on the barrel surface. It can clearly see at a glance whether the wine contained in the barrel has deteriorated. At the same time, a temperature probe and a pH probe connected to the status display block are provided in the wine barrel body, and the temperature and pH of the wine body can be observed through the status display block, which is convenient for the wine-making process and ensures the product quality.

[0005] Although the state of the wine in the barrel can be clearly seen and the progress of wine-making can be inspected at any time in the above-mentioned existing technology, the above-mentioned oak barrel gives different aromas to the wine through the lignin of the oak barrel body and the inner wall of the oak barrel. When different flavors of wine need to be brewed, the operation process of replacing the oak on the inner wall of the oak barrel is relatively cumbersome. If the entire oak barrel is replaced, the wine-making cost will be increased. Therefore, the utility model proposes an oak rod for a wine barrel. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] For the purposes of simplicity and illustration, the principles of the embodiments are mainly described by reference to examples. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it is obvious that for those of ordinary skill in the art, these embodiments may not be limited to these specific details in practice. In some instances, well-known methods and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring these embodiments. Additionally, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other.

[0024] Embodiment 1:

[0025] As Figure 1-2 shown, an oak rod for a wine barrel includes a connecting end 1, an oak head 2, and several oak rod bodies 3. The several oak rod bodies 3 are sequentially movably connected between the connecting end 1 and the oak head 2. A detachable oak auxiliary block 4 is connected between the oak head 2 and the oak rod body 3, between any two adjacent oak rod bodies 3, and between the oak rod body 3 and the connecting end 1. A ventilation hole 5 is formed through the connecting end 1. A communication hole 6 is formed through each oak rod body 3. An auxiliary hole 7 is formed in the oak auxiliary block 4. The ventilation hole 5 is connected to each communication hole 6 through the auxiliary hole 7.

[0026] Both the oak rod body 3 and the oak auxiliary block 4 have irregular shapes such as oval, hexagonal, and polygonal. The connecting end 1 can be connected to an oxygenation component to oxygenate the inside of the wine barrel. The connection method between the connecting end 1 and the oxygenation component can be a threaded connection or a claw connection, which is convenient for overall disassembly and replacement of the oak rod.

[0027] When the oxygenation component oxygenates the wine barrel, oxygen enters the communication hole 6 and the auxiliary hole 7 through the ventilation hole 5 in the connecting end 1. The oak head 2 can block the entering oxygen in the communication hole 6 and the auxiliary hole 7. The oak rod body 3 and the oak auxiliary block 4 have abundant pores and textures. Through these fine pores, air can diffuse from the inside to the outside, perfectly combining with the wine, which helps to slow down the speed of alcohol conversion into water and other components in the wine, and also helps with the aging storage of the wine.

[0028] These fine pores can fully absorb trace elements and components in the fine wine, and release the aroma and taste of the wood, which is very beneficial for wine flavoring because it can make the wine more aromatic and flavorful. Therefore, when different flavors of wine need to be brewed, different oak rod bodies 3 and oak auxiliary blocks 4 can be disassembled and replaced to achieve wine variety, making the brewing more flexible, and at the same time, it is convenient to replace without replacing the entire wine barrel, thereby improving brewing efficiency and reducing brewing costs.

[0029] An air cavity 8 is provided in each of the oak end cap 2 and each oak auxiliary block 4, and each air cavity 8 is communicated with the ventilation hole 5. The oxygen filled by the oxygen filling member can enter the air cavity 8 and diffuse out from the pores at various angles of the oak auxiliary block 4, so that the oxygen is perfectly combined with the wine. In addition to blocking the incoming oxygen in the communication hole 6 and the auxiliary hole 7, the oak end cap 2 can also increase the contact area between the oxygen filled by the oxygen filling member and the oak end cap 2 through the air cavity 8, so that the oxygen can diffuse into the wine from more pores of the oak end cap 2, which helps to slow down the conversion rate of alcohol in the wine into water and other components, and also helps with the aging storage of the wine.

[0030] Connection grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the oak auxiliary block 4, and the oak end cap 2, the oak rod body 3 and the connection end 1 are all communicated with the corresponding oak auxiliary block 4 through the connection grooves 9. The setting of the connection grooves 9 can make the connection between the oak auxiliary block 4 and the oak end cap 2, the oak rod body 3 and the connection end 1 more firm.

[0031] Embodiment 2:

[0032] The same content as in Embodiment 1 will not be described in detail here, and the differences from Embodiment 1 are as follows:

[0033] As Figure 3 shown, two oak reinforcement blocks 10 are symmetrically arranged on each oak rod body 3. Each oak reinforcement block 10 is hollow inside, and the inside of each oak reinforcement block 10 is communicated with the communication hole 6.

[0034] By providing the oak reinforcement blocks 10, the total contact area between oxygen and oak can be increased, and more oak pores can be added to absorb trace elements and components in the fine wine, releasing more aromas and flavors, which is beneficial to increasing the flavor of the wine.

[0035] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.

[0036] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative manner of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
