[0002] During winemaking, grapes need to be peeled off from the whole bunch to prevent grape stems from entering the fermentation tank and affecting the winemaking, so as to ensure the taste, flavor, color and other qualities of the wine. A search revealed that a Chinese utility model patent with the authorization publication number CN218515148U discloses an improved grape destemmer. According to its specification, when a grape drain hole is clogged, the cover plate can be used to cover the destemmer box, and the first and second motors can be started to work normally. At this time, as the destemmer barrel rotates, the unblocking pin automatically enters the grape drain hole to unblock it. Due to the action of the compression spring and the guide angle, the unblocking pin can also automatically slide out of the grape drain hole, thereby automatically unblocking the grape drain hole quickly and efficiently.
