Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automated wine production equipment, in particular to an automated wine conveying device in a pottery jar warehouse. Background Art

[0002] Currently, due to the limitations of the materials used to make the pottery jars, the pottery jar warehouses in liquor factories cannot perform automated liquor transportation, automated cleaning, automated liquor stirring, and other operations like metal storage tanks, and are completely dependent on traditional manual operations.

[0003] The traditional way of making wine is:

[0004] (1) The worker opens the lid of the cleaned and dried pottery jar;

[0005] (2) Workers use metal hoses to connect and fix the wine delivery pipe network and the pottery jar;

[0006] (3) Notify the remote end to start the delivery pump of the fixed wine delivery network to deliver the base wine;

[0007] (4) Open the valve at the end of the fixed wine delivery pipe network, and the base wine enters the pottery jar through the metal hose;

[0008] (5) After the pottery jar is full, close the valve, cover the pottery jar with the lid, and mark it.

[0009] The traditional method of producing wine is:

[0010] (1) Workers use metal hoses to connect the fixed wine delivery network and the mobile wine pump outlet;

[0011] (2) The worker opens the lid of the pottery jar;

[0012] (3) The worker uses a metal hose to connect the wine inlet of the mobile wine pump and prepare the other end;

[0013] (4) Notify the remote connection of the fixed wine delivery network;

[0014] (5) Place the other end of the metal hose into the pottery jar;

[0015] (6) Turn on the mobile wine pump switch to start the wine delivery operation;

[0016] (7) After the wine in the pottery jar is emptied, the mobile wine pump is turned off and the remaining wine is manually transferred;

[0017] (8) Clean the pottery jar, cover it with a lid, and label it.

[0018] First, the entire operation is labor-intensive. The approximately 10-meter-long metal hose itself is heavy, and the jars are over 1 meter tall, sometimes even 1.5 meters. The residual wine at the bottom of the jars cannot be pumped out during the operation and must be manually transferred. Second, the jars remain exposed during the operation, releasing volatile alcohol vapor. This vapor, when mixed with air, forms an explosive mixture, posing a safety hazard to operators and a long-term economic loss to the company. Third, once the jars are sealed, the extent of wine loss inside is unknown, requiring visual inspection each time, a risk to both safety and hygiene. Finally, the operation is prone to human error, resulting in problems such as incorrect wine transfers. To address this issue, a jar device suitable for automated wine transfer in jar warehouses has been developed. Utility Model Content
