Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of winemaking equipment, in particular to a green orange wine mud separation device. Background Art

[0002] Green oranges, with their vibrant green rind and sweet, juicy flesh, are rich in vitamin C and various minerals, and possess a unique, refreshing aroma, making them an ideal ingredient for fruit winemaking. Green orange wine, made primarily from green oranges through a specialized fermentation process, not only retains the fresh flavor of green oranges but also adds a richness and depth to the wine, making it a popular choice among consumers. The production process for green orange winemaking typically includes raw material preparation, cleaning and crushing, fermentation, clarification and separation, aging, and bottling. During fermentation, the sugars in the green oranges are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by yeast, producing a rich array of flavor compounds. However, as fermentation progresses, lees gradually form within the wine. These lees are primarily composed of dead yeast cells, proteins, pectin, and other insoluble substances. These lees not only affect the clarity of the wine but can also negatively impact its flavor. Green orange lees separation methods often rely on natural sedimentation or simple physical filtration, but these methods are often inefficient and struggle to completely remove the tiny particles in the lees, resulting in poor clarity and compromising the final product quality.

[0003] In the prior art, a sludge separation device uses a centrifuge to separate the fermentation liquid in the fermentation tank. The fermentation liquid is precipitated in the fermentation tank. The upper layer of fermentation liquid is relatively clear and has smaller particles, while the lower layer precipitates sludge with larger particles. After all the sludge is mixed and separated, the upper layer becomes turbid again and needs to be filtered multiple times, resulting in more sludge separation processes and a longer time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to better understand the technical content of the present invention, a specific embodiment is provided below, and the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a green orange wine mud separation device, which includes a fermentation tank 1, a feed hopper 2 and a controller 20. The feed hopper 2 is arranged on the top of the fermentation tank 1, and a feed valve 16 is arranged at the bottom of the feed hopper 2. The feeding time and amount of the feed can be controlled by controlling the opening and closing of the feed valve 16. The ingredients for winemaking can be added into the fermentation tank 1 through the feed hopper 2. The top of the fermentation tank 1 is provided with an electric push rod 17, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 17 is connected to a lifting plate 19. The bottom surface of the lifting plate 19 is provided with support plates 22 opposite to each other, and laser emitting tubes 23 and laser receiving tubes 24 are arranged on the sides of the two support plates 22 facing each other. The axes of the laser emitting tube 23 and the laser receiving tube 24 coincide with each other. A liquid level sensor 21 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 19, and a straw 3 is provided on the other side. The opening of the straw 3 is located below the liquid level sensor 21, ensuring the smooth operation of the fermentation tank 1 The opening of the straw 3 is located below the liquid level. The straw 3 passes through the top of the fermentation tank 1 and is connected to the top of the first filter tank 5. The first filter tank 5 is provided with a filter screen 18. The straw 3 is provided with a first transfer pump 4, which is arranged on the top surface of the fermentation tank 1. The fermentation tank 1 is provided with a tapered portion 6 at the bottom. The bottom of the tapered portion 6 is connected to the second filter tank 12 through a conduit 7. The conduit 7 is provided with a second transfer pump 8. The top of the second filter tank 12 is provided with a top cover 9. The conduit 7 is passed through the top cover 9. A filter bag 30 is provided on the bottom of the top cover 9. The controller 20 is provided on the top surface of the fermentation tank 1 and is electrically connected to the laser emitting tube 23, the laser receiving tube 24, the liquid level sensor 21, the electric push rod 17, the first transfer pump 4 and the second transfer pump 8. The controller 20 adopts a low-power microprocessor model STM32-L0.

[0023] When the green orange wine sludge separation device is working, the electric push rod 17 is first started. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 17 extends to drive the lifting plate 19 to descend. The descent of the lifting plate 19 drives the liquid level sensor 21 to descend. When the liquid level sensor 21 detects the liquid level, the laser emitting tube 23 is started. The laser emitting tube 23 emits a laser. Because the fermentation liquid in the upper layer of the fermentation tank 1 is relatively clear, the laser passes through the fermentation liquid and is received by the laser receiving tube 24. The laser receiving tube 24 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal to the controller 20. The controller 20 determines that the opening of the straw 3 is located in the fermentation liquid based on the strength of the electrical signal, and then starts the first transmission pump 4. The first transmission pump 4 draws the fermentation liquid out of the straw 3 and discharges it into the first filter tank 5. The fermentation liquid is filtered by the filter 18 and then stored. In the first filter tank 5; as the fermentation liquid is continuously pumped away, the liquid level in the fermentation tank 1 will become lower and lower, and the electric push rod 17 will drive the lifting plate 19 to descend as the liquid level continues to extend. When the laser emitting tube 23 descends to the sludge layer, because the sludge is relatively turbid, it will block the laser emitted by the laser emitting tube 23, and the laser intensity received by the laser receiving tube 24 will be very weak. The laser receiving tube 24 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal to the controller 20. The controller 20 determines that the opening of the straw 3 is located in the sludge based on the electrical signal being weaker than the preset value. At this time, the first transmission pump 4 is stopped, the electric push rod 17 is reset, and the second transmission pump 8 is turned on at the same time to transport the sludge through the conduit 7 to the second filter tank 12. The sludge enters the filter bag 30 and the sludge is filtered. This device uses a laser emitting tube 23 and a laser receiving tube 24 to identify the fermentation liquid and the lees, guiding the suction pipe 3 to first draw the fermentation liquid into the first filter tank 5, and then draw the lees into the second filter tank 12, thereby reducing the lees separation process and preventing the lees from re-mixing with the clear fermentation liquid on the upper layer during separation, which affects the concentration of the fermentation liquid.

[0024] Preferably, it also includes an extrusion mechanism, which includes an air pump 25, an air inlet valve 27, an air pipe 26, a pressure sensor 29 and an annular airbag 28. The air pump 25 is arranged on the side of the second filter tank 12, and the air pump 25 is connected to the annular airbag 28 through the air pipe 26. The air pipe 26 is provided with an air inlet valve 27. The annular airbag 28 is arranged in the second filter tank 12 and is sleeved on the outside of the filter bag 30. The pressure sensor 29 is arranged inside the airbag 28. The pressure sensor 29 is used to detect the air pressure inside the airbag 28. The air pump 25, the air inlet valve 27 and the pressure sensor 29 are electrically connected to the controller 20.

[0025] After the second transfer pump 8 transfers the sludge to the filter bag 30, the air pump 25 is started and the air inlet valve 27 is opened. The air pump 25 pumps air into the annular airbag 28 through the air pipe 26. As the air continues to flow into the annular airbag 28, the annular airbag 28 continues to expand, squeezing the sludge in the filter bag 30, which is conducive to squeezing out the fermentation liquid in the sludge. The squeezed fermentation liquid flows to the bottom of the second filter tank 12.

[0026] Preferably, it also includes a hydraulic rod 10 and a bracket, the bracket is relatively arranged on the side of the second filter tank 12, the hydraulic rod 10 is arranged on the top surface of the bracket on both sides, and its telescopic end is connected to the bottom surface of the second top cover 9.

[0027] When the wine sludge is continuously squeezed by the squeezing mechanism and the fermentation liquid contained in it is squeezed out, the hydraulic rod 10 is started, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 10 extends to drive the top cover 9 to lift, and the lifting of the top cover 9 drives the filter bag 30 to lift, which is conducive to replacing the filter bag 30 and removing the wine sludge, and facilitates subsequent processing procedures.

[0028] Preferably, a discharge pipe 13 and a discharge valve 14 are further included. The discharge pipe 13 is respectively arranged at the bottom of the first filter tank 5 and the second filter tank 12 , and the discharge valve 14 is arranged on the discharge pipe 13 .

[0029] After the separation of the sludge and the fermentation liquid is completed, the fermentation liquid is stored in the first fermentation tank 1 and the second fermentation tank 1 respectively. The fermentation liquid can be discharged from the discharge pipe 13 by opening the discharge valve 14, which simplifies the operation and improves the work efficiency.

[0030] Preferably, the straw 3 is made of a flexible polyurethane corrugated tube.

[0031] The straw 3 is made of a flexible polyurethane bellows. The polyurethane material itself has good flexibility, so that the bellows can still maintain good shape stability under complex working conditions such as bending and twisting, avoiding excessive bending of the straw 3 and affecting the circulation of the fermentation liquid.

[0032] Preferably, it further comprises support legs 15 , which are respectively arranged at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 , the first filter tank 5 and the second filter tank 12 .

[0033] The support legs 15 can effectively bear the weight of equipment such as the fermentation tank 1, the first filter tank 5 and the second filter tank 12, ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
