The difficulty in precisely controlling the wine's temperature during water cooling can affect both quality and yield. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1-3 A winemaking air cooling device includes an air cooling box 1. An air outlet 2 is provided at the top of the air cooling box 1. A variable frequency fan 3 is installed in the air outlet 2. An air inlet box 4 is provided at the bottom of the air cooling box 1. An air inlet pipe 5 is provided at one end of the air inlet box 4. A ventilation slot for air circulation is reserved between the air inlet box 4 and the upper air cooling box 1. A support frame 6 is provided at the bottom of the air inlet box 4.

[0022] The air cooling box 1 is provided with an annular heat dissipation duct 7 inside. A vertical mounting bracket 8 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the air cooling box 1. The heat dissipation duct 7 is mounted within the mounting bracket 8. A plurality of heat dissipation fins 15 are sleeved on the outside of the heat dissipation duct 7. The arrangement of the heat dissipation fins 15 increases the contact area between the wine vapor in the heat dissipation duct 7 and the external air, thereby accelerating cooling.

[0023] A supply box 12 is provided outside the air-cooled box 1, and a gas-liquid booster cylinder 10 is installed in the supply box 12. The gas-liquid booster cylinder 10 is connected to an external alcohol vapor source, and a steam inlet pipe 13 is installed at the steam outlet of the gas-liquid booster cylinder 10. The front end of the steam inlet pipe 13 is connected to the inlet end of the heat dissipation pipe 7 in the air-cooled box 1.

[0024] The external alcohol vapor is sent into the heat dissipation pipe 7 through the vapor-liquid booster cylinder 10, and the alcohol vapor can be cooled and condensed in the heat dissipation pipe 7.

[0025] The outlet end of the heat dissipation pipe 7 is provided with a three-way pipe 16, and the air port of the three-way pipe 16 is connected to the supply box 12 through the exhaust pipe 9. The exhaust pipe 9 is arranged upward, and the top inlet of the gas-liquid booster cylinder 10 is provided with a return pipe 14, and the port of the return pipe 14 is connected to the upper port of the exhaust pipe 9; the liquid port of the three-way pipe 16 is connected to the wine outlet pipe 11, and the wine outlet pipe 11 is located below the heat dissipation pipe 7.

[0026] During the condensation process of the alcohol vapor air, some steam may not be completely liquefied and may be discharged from the outlet of the heat dissipation pipe 7. Therefore, the exhaust pipe 9 provided on the tee pipe 16 can send this part of the steam that has not yet condensed into liquid to the vapor-liquid booster cylinder 10 of the supply tank 12 for secondary air condensation. The liquefied alcohol in the heat dissipation pipe 7 will flow out from the outlet of the heat dissipation pipe 7 and eventually be discharged outward through the wine outlet pipe 11.

[0027] The air-cooling box 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor for monitoring the internal temperature of the air-cooling box 1 and a concentration sensor for detecting the concentration of alcohol vapor. When the temperature inside the box is too high, the variable frequency fan 3 above can be controlled to rotate faster, thereby accelerating the air cooling and maintaining the internal temperature of the air-cooling box 1 at a relatively constant state. The concentration sensor can further control the setting of the wine outlet temperature by measuring the concentration of the wine outlet, thereby improving the distillation speed of the alcohol vapor and the separation effect of the base wine product, thereby ensuring the quality of the wine outlet.

[0028] Finally, it should be supplemented that a plurality of gas balancing ports 17 are provided on the top wall of the air-cooled box 1 . The function of the gas balancing ports 17 is to ensure the balance of the internal pressure difference of the air-cooled box 1 .

[0029] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
