Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wine brewing, and more specifically to an anaerobic spraying device for cellar maintenance. Background Art

[0002] Cellars are the main fermentation containers for brewing Luzhou-flavor liquor and are also important places for the formation of liquor flavor components. During the long-term brewing process, the degradation of cellar mud is relatively prominent, especially the mud on the cellar walls, which seriously affects the quality of the cellars. In this regard, the Chinese invention patent with the application number CN202010250724.7 proposes a method for promoting the ripening of Luzhou-flavor liquor cellar mud through the yellow water fermentation broth of old cellars. Fresh yellow water from old cellars is used as raw material, which is diluted, pH-adjusted, and anaerobically fermented and cultured, and then used for the production, maintenance, and large-scale cultivation of cellar mud in cellars, so as to promote the improvement of Luzhou-flavor liquor cellar mud and enhance the brewing quality of Luzhou-flavor liquor.

[0003] Since the above-mentioned yellow water fermentation broth of old cellars contains a large number of anaerobic bacteria such as caproic acid bacteria and methanogens, if stored open, the anaerobic bacteria in the yellow water fermentation broth of old cellars will be lost. At present, there is no effective storage method for the yellow water fermentation broth of old cellars. To avoid the invalidation of the yellow water fermentation broth of old cellars and meet the storage and maintenance operation requirements of the yellow water fermentation broth of old cellars, the present utility model proposes the following anaerobic spraying device for cellar maintenance. Summary of the Utility Model

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , the anaerobic spraying device for cellar maintenance in this embodiment includes a liquid storage tank 1, a gas storage tank 4, and a spraying pipeline 3;

[0027] The liquid storage tank 1 is used to store the yellow water fermentation liquid of the old cellar. It is provided with a sealable liquid replenishing port 11 for the input of the yellow water fermentation liquid of the old cellar. It is only connected to the gas storage tank 4 through the air inlet 13 at the top via a gas pipe. The bottom end is provided with a liquid outlet 12. The liquid outlet 12 is externally connected to a one-way valve 21 with a flow direction from the inside of the liquid storage tank 1 to the outside. It is connected to the spraying pipeline 3 through the one-way valve 21 via an infusion tube 22;

[0028] A piston 41 is arranged in the gas storage tank 4. The cavity between the piston 41 and the bottom of the tank is sealed and filled with nitrogen gas as a nitrogen storage cavity. The cavity between the piston 41 and the top of the tank is communicated with the outside through the open top of the tank. The gas space above the liquid level in the liquid storage tank 1 is always filled with nitrogen gas through the connection with the nitrogen storage cavity via the gas pipe. The piston 41 can be displaced in the gas storage tank 4 depending on the internal and external pressure difference;

[0029] The spraying pipeline 3 is a horizontal pipe with multiple nozzles 32. It can extend horizontally in the cellar to be maintained. There are gaps between the two pipe ends and the closest pool wall respectively. The end with multiple nozzles 32 faces the bottom or the wall of the cellar to be maintained. Through multiple nozzles 32, it is inserted into the cellar mud at the bottom or the wall of the pool. The other end is provided with a liquid inlet 33. Through the liquid inlet 33, it is connected to the outlet end of the one-way valve 21 via an infusion tube 22.

[0030] In specific implementation, the corresponding structural settings of the anaerobic spraying device further include:

[0031] The gas storage tank 4 is provided with a closable inflation port corresponding to the area where the nitrogen storage cavity is located, for replenishing nitrogen into the nitrogen storage cavity.

[0040] Taking the maintenance of the pit bottom cellar mud as an example, before maintenance, inject the old cellar pit yellow water fermentation liquid into the liquid storage tank 1 to the liquid level height of the first indication mark 15, then cover the liquid replenishing port 11. Stretch the horizontal pipe of the spraying pipeline 3 horizontally in the pit, with the end with multiple nozzles 32 facing downwards, insert the multiple nozzles 32 into the pit bottom cellar mud, open the one-way valve 21, input the old cellar pit yellow water fermentation liquid in the liquid storage tank 1 into the spraying pipeline 3 through the liquid delivery pipe 22, and inject it into the pit bottom cellar mud through each nozzle 32 until the old cellar pit yellow water fermentation liquid in the liquid storage tank 1 is drained completely;

[0041] Taking the maintenance of the pit mud on one side of the pool wall as an example, similarly, before maintenance, the old cellar pit yellow water fermentation liquid is injected into the liquid storage tank 1 until it reaches the liquid level height of the second / third / fourth / fifth indication mark 15, and then the liquid replenishment port 11 is sealed. The spraying pipeline 3 is horizontally extended into the pool with each nozzle 32 facing the pool wall. Through multiple nozzles 32, they are inserted into the pit mud on the pool wall. The one-way valve 21 is opened, and the old cellar pit yellow water fermentation liquid in the liquid storage tank 1 is input into the spraying pipeline 3 through the liquid delivery pipe 22 and injected into the pit mud on the pool wall through each nozzle 32 until the old cellar pit yellow water fermentation liquid in the liquid storage tank 1 is drained out.
