[0026] For the purpose of simplicity and illustration, the principles of the embodiments are described primarily with reference to examples. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these embodiments may not be limited to these specific details in practice. In some instances, well-known methods and structures are not described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the understanding of these embodiments. In addition, all embodiments may be used in combination with each other. Example 1

[0027] A wine barrel system for convenient control of brewing and storage comprises a power pump 1, a control computer 2 and a plurality of wine barrel support frames 3, each group of wine barrel support frames 3 being provided with a corresponding number of brewing wine barrels 5 that can bear weight, the power pump 1 being electrically connected to the control computer 2, the output end of the power pump 1 being connected with wine inlet pipes 6 having the same number as the brewing wine barrels 5, each wine inlet pipe 6 being connected with a corresponding brewing wine barrel 5, each wine inlet pipe 6 being provided with a wine inlet control valve 7 for controlling the addition of wine to the corresponding brewing wine barrel 5, the bottom of each brewing wine barrel 5 being connected with a wine outlet pipe 8, each wine outlet pipe 8 being provided with a wine outlet control valve 9 at one end close to the brewing wine barrel 5, each brewing wine barrel 5 being provided with an oxygenation connector 10, each oxygenation connector 10 being connected with a vent valve 11, the vent valve 11 being connected with a vent pipe 12 for connecting to the outside world, the wine inlet control valve 7, the wine outlet control valve 9 and the vent valve 11 being electrically connected to the control computer 2.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the power pump 1 and the wine inlet control valve 7 are controlled by the control computer 2, so that the wine can be controlled to enter the brewing wine barrel 5 in a concentrated manner. The wine outlet control valve 9 is controlled by the control computer 2 to control the wine to flow out of the brewing wine barrel 5 and be transported to the wine storage tank or the filling machine for bottling, packaging and sealing. There is no need for manual operation to add and take out wine. When the ventilation pipe 12 is connected to oxygen or other gases that need to be filled, the control computer 2 controls the switch of the ventilation valve 11, thereby realizing the oxygenation of the brewing wine barrel 5.

[0029] The control computer 2 can centrally or individually control the addition of wine, the injection of oxygen or the discharge of wine into the brewing barrel 5, solving the original manual operation problem. Through the control of the control computer 2, accurate measurement and real-time data collection during the base wine transportation process are achieved. The measurement accuracy can be controlled within 3‰, which directly ensures the safe and accurate storage of the base wine and reduces the wine loss by more than 1‰.

[0030] The implementation of this system can improve the intelligent and automated management level of the company's wine warehouse, reduce intermediate turnover links, avoid manual conversion of pipeline valves, increase base wine transfer efficiency by 30% and production efficiency by more than 10%, and effectively save labor costs and energy consumption.

[0031] Flow control valves 13 are installed on both the side of the wine outlet pipe 8 near the brewing barrel 5 and the side of the wine inlet pipe 6 near the brewing barrel 5. Flow control valves 13 are electrically connected to the control computer 2. By sensing the flow rate of the wine in the wine inlet pipe 6 and the wine outlet pipe 8, the flow rate can be controlled according to different wine addition and withdrawal requirements, meeting the needs of different usage scenarios and providing flexibility in system use.

[0032] Each brewing barrel 5 is provided with a pressure sensor 14, and each pressure sensor 14 is electrically connected to the control computer 2. The pressure sensor 14 senses the pressure value within the brewing barrel 5, and controls the internal pressure of the brewing barrel 5 to maintain a desired pressure value according to the different brewing needs of different customers, thereby meeting the brewing needs of different customers.

[0033] Each brewing barrel 5 is provided with a pressure relief valve 15. If the pressure in the brewing barrel 5 reaches a set safety pressure value, the pressure relief valve 15 will work to reduce the pressure value in the brewing barrel 5 to ensure the safety of the brewing process.

[0034] Each brewing wine barrel 5 is provided with a sampling valve head 16, through which the wine in the brewing wine barrel 5 can be taken and tasted at any time, the brewing process can be controlled in real time, the best taste of the brewed wine can be ensured, and the customer experience can be improved.

[0035] Each barrel support frame 3 is equipped with a plurality of anti-displacement legs 4 on both sides, the same number as the number of wine barrels 5 placed thereon. The anti-displacement legs are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the barrel support frame 3. When the wine barrels 5 are placed in multiple layers, the four corners of each layer except the top layer are supported and restrained by anti-displacement legs 4, preventing the wine barrels 5 from shifting during transportation, avoiding wine leakage, and improving transportation safety.

[0036] The brewing wine barrel 5 includes a metal barrel, the outside of which is surrounded by a water hose that can be connected to running water of different temperatures. The two ends of the metal barrel are fixedly connected to the wine barrel head. An ultrasonic aging rod is inserted through any of the wine barrel heads. A transparent sight glass for viewing the brewing situation in the barrel is provided on the wine barrel head away from the ultrasonic aging rod. A wine inlet is fixedly connected to the center of the outer wall of the metal barrel, and a wine outlet is connected to any of the wine barrel heads.

[0037] Wine is poured into the metal barrel through the wine inlet and discharged through the wine outlet. The ultrasonic aging rod can emit high-energy waves to pre-treat the alcohol. The high-energy waves released by the plasma tube have a wavelength of 185nm-265nm, which can dismantle the polar bonds between alcohol molecules and the polar bonds between water molecules. When light with an energy greater than or equal to the band gap of the semiconductor material is irradiated on the semiconductor photocatalyst, OH free radicals with strong oxidizing effects are generated on the surface of the photocatalyst. Since the oxygen or ozone injected has strong oxidizing properties, it further strengthens the oxidation of the alcohol, thereby removing foreign flavors and unsaturated compounds such as aldehydes, sulfides, fusel oils, the taste of bran in alcohol, and harmful substances in the alcohol, oxidizing them into water and carbon dioxide.

[0038] The transparent sight glass allows you to easily observe the situation inside the metal barrel and closely follow the brewing process.

[0039] The metal barrel can be made of 304 material. The wine barrel made of 304 material has good sealing and bearing capacity. It can effectively prevent the leakage and air leakage of wine, thereby ensuring the quality and safety of the wine, increasing the service life of the wine barrel, and preventing the wine in the barrel from volatilizing, avoiding bumps on the wine barrel during transportation and causing leakage of wine.

[0040] An oxygenating device capable of receiving external gas is inserted into the barrel cover on the side facing away from the transparent sight glass. An oak stick is placed inside the metal barrel and connected to the oxygenating device. The oxygenating device is connected to an oxygenating interface, through which the oak stick is connected to the oxygenating device. Example 2

[0041] The same contents as those in Example 1 are not described in detail here. The differences from Example 1 are as follows:

[0042] Each wine barrel support frame 3 is located on the same vertical line and is fixedly connected. When there is no need for transportation, the wine barrel support frames 3 are fixedly connected to each other to improve the stability of the overall placement, eliminate the need for moving back and forth, and save efficiency.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0044] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
