Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of brewing equipment, in particular to an aeration device for brewing wine in pottery jars. Background Art

[0002] In the traditional pottery jar wine brewing process, the oxidation-reduction reaction is an important chemical change, and the supply of oxygen is crucial for the fermentation process. Different dissolved oxygen amounts directly affect the quality and flavor of the wine. However, the traditional manual aeration method has deficiencies. At present, most of the wine brewing aeration devices on the market use a push-button manual valve control in combination with an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe for direct gas transmission, lacking a fine pressure regulation and flow control mechanism. For the aeration device during the storage process in the specific workshop, a metal hose is directly connected to a gas storage tank at one end and a stainless steel pipe at the other end, and the stainless steel pipe extends into the pottery jar for aeration. Such an aeration device is difficult to control the supply amount of oxygen. To address this problem, a combination of a precision pressure regulating valve and a rotor gas flowmeter can be used on the market to improve the accuracy of gas supply to adapt to the changing gas requirements at different fermentation stages. However, for the pottery jar wine brewing process, while ensuring the gas accuracy, it is also necessary to consider making the gas fully dissolve in the wine body. Therefore, developing an aeration device for brewing wine in pottery jars that can aerate evenly has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the wine brewing industry.

The inside of the gas distributor 6 is provided with an air cavity communicated with the air outlet pipe 2, and the surface of the gas distributor 6 is provided with a number of uniformly distributed small holes, and the small holes are communicated with the air cavity.

[0026] For the aeration device for brewing wine in earthen jars provided by the utility model, when it needs to work, first adjust the precision pressure regulating valve 3 to preset the required air pressure value for this inflation. Subsequently, press the switch button of the push-button manual valve 4, and the device starts to work. Gas starts to be introduced from the head end of the air inlet pipe 1, enters the precision pressure regulating valve 3 through the gas inlet of the precision pressure regulating valve 3. At this time, the precision pressure regulating valve 3 can adjust the air pressure to the preset value. Then the gas is output from the gas outlet of the precision pressure regulating valve 3, enters the rotor gas flowmeter 5 after passing through the push-button manual valve 4. The rotor gas flowmeter 5 is made of plexiglass and is used for detecting the gas flow rate. The staff can measure the accurate gas flow rate in real time by observing the reading of the rotor gas flowmeter 5. Finally, the gas enters the air outlet pipe 2 from the head end of the air outlet pipe 2. The air outlet pipe 2 is located in the earthen jar, and the tail end of the air outlet pipe 2 extends deep into the wine body. The gas is output from the tail end of the air outlet pipe 2 and enters the inside of the gas distributor 6. The gas distributor 6 is a hollow cylinder, and the surface of the gas distributor 6 is provided with a number of uniformly distributed small holes. The gas is dispersed by these small holes when entering the wine body and dissolved in the wine body.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, it includes a mounting plate 7. The mounting plate 7 is made of stainless steel plate. The precision pressure regulating valve 3 and the push-button manual valve 4 are both arranged on the upper surface of the mounting plate 7 and are fixedly screwed to the mounting plate 7. The edge of the mounting plate 7 is provided with a flanging, and the flanging faces the lower surface of the mounting plate 7. The rotor gas flowmeter 5 is arranged on the flanging of the mounting plate 7 and is fixedly screwed to the flanging of the mounting plate 7. The upper surface of the mounting plate 7 is provided with an air outlet pipe clamp, and the air outlet pipe 2 passes through the air outlet pipe clamp of the mounting plate 7.

[0028] The function of the mounting plate 7 is to mount the precision pressure regulating valve 3, the push-button manual valve 4, the rotor gas flowmeter 5 and the outlet pipe 2. The purpose of the screw connection and fixation between the fittings and the mounting plate 7 is to achieve a detachable function while ensuring a stable installation, which is convenient for maintenance. The flanging design on the edge of the mounting plate 7 strengthens the structural stability and provides additional support and fixing points for the rotor gas flowmeter 5.

[0029] Further, the first gas pipeline 8 is a nylon pipe.

[0030] The fittings are connected by ordinary pipelines, and the pipelines can be rubber hoses or other flexible hoses. Since the first gas pipeline 8 is connected to the precision pressure regulating valve, it is preferably a nylon pipe for pressure resistance.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, it includes a reducing quick-connect plug 11. The first gas pipeline 8 includes a precision pressure regulating valve gas pipeline and a push-button manual valve gas pipeline. The two ends of the reducing quick-connect plug 11 are respectively provided with a precision pressure regulating valve gas pipeline joint and a manual valve gas pipeline joint. The head end of the precision pressure regulating valve gas pipeline is communicated with the gas outlet of the precision pressure regulating valve 3, the tail end of the precision pressure regulating valve gas pipeline is communicated with the precision pressure regulating valve gas pipeline joint of the reducing quick-connect plug 11, the manual valve gas pipeline joint of the reducing quick-connect plug 11 is communicated with the head end of the push-button manual valve gas pipeline, and the tail end of the push-button manual valve gas pipeline is communicated with the gas inlet of the push-button manual valve 4.

[0032] The interfaces of the precision pressure regulating valve 3 and the push-button manual valve 4 on the market are sometimes of inconsistent sizes. In this case, it is inconvenient to connect with conventional pipelines. Therefore, a reducing quick-connect plug 11 is used to achieve pipeline diameter reduction.

[0033] It includes several straight quick-connect plugs. The two ends of the first gas pipeline 8, the second gas pipeline 9 and the third gas pipeline 10 are all provided with straight quick-connect plugs.

[0034] The straight quick-connect plugs facilitate the connection of the pipelines to the gas inlets and outlets of each fitting to ensure a tight connection.

[0035] Further, it includes a plug 12, and the plug 12 is hermetically connected to the head end of the inlet pipe 1. When the device is not in use, it can ensure the airtightness of the gas input port and prevent foreign impurities from entering.

[0036] Further, the inlet pipe 1 is a metal flexible pipe. The head end of the inlet pipe 1 is provided with a plug connection head 13, the tail end of the inlet pipe 1 is provided with a precision pressure regulating valve connection head 14. The plug 12 is hermetically connected to the plug connection head 13, and the precision pressure regulating valve connection head 14 is communicated with the gas inlet of the precision pressure regulating valve 3.

[0037] The purpose of the intake pipe 1 being preferably a flexible metal hose is to facilitate connection to the gas source while having a certain strength. The purpose of respectively providing a plug connector 13 and a precision pressure regulating valve connector 14 at the head end and the tail end of the intake pipe 1 is to facilitate the rigid connection between the flexible metal hose and the fittings. At the same time, it can also ensure that the connection ports at the head end and the tail end are not prone to gas leakage when the flexible metal hose is bent, which is beneficial for long-term use.

[0038] Furthermore, the outlet pipe 2 is a stainless steel pipe, and its length depends on the depth of the pottery jar.

[0039] Since the outlet pipe 2 needs to penetrate deep into the wine body for gas injection, it is preferably made of stainless steel. The stainless steel material is beneficial for avoiding pipeline corrosion. The length of the outlet pipe 2 depends on the depth of the pottery jar. For example, a length of 890 mm is used for a 150 kg pottery jar. When the size of the pottery jar is a ton jar, the length of the outlet pipe 2 can be appropriately increased to 1590 mm.

[0040] The gas distributor 6 is a hollow cylinder made of stainless steel, preferably with a diameter of 3 - 5 cm and a height of 3 - 5 cm. It is made of stainless steel and has evenly distributed small holes on its surface. The diameter of the small holes is 1 - 3 mm. Its function is to evenly disperse the incoming gas so that it can be better dissolved in the wine body.

[0041] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or equivalent replacements made to the technical solutions on the basis of the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. The specific protection scope shall be subject to the content recorded in the claims.

[0042] For the pottery jar wine-making gas injection device provided by the present invention, its preparation process and treatment method are not limited.
