Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of samplers, in particular to a wine lees sampling tool. Background Art

[0002] Wine brewing utilizes solid-state fermentation technology. During the fermentation process, the mash accumulates to a height of up to two meters. Samplers are typically used to sample this mash for testing. Existing samplers have a sampling slot on the surface of a sampling rod, which can be inserted into the mash for sampling. However, when the sampling slot is inserted into the mash, the surface mash enters directly into the slot, preventing stratified sampling.

[0003] For example, the patent application number "202322684459.5" proposes a brewer's grains sampling tool, which is provided with multiple openings on the hollow long straight part. When in use, one only needs to hold the handle to insert the hollow long straight part into the brewer's grains, and the openings can be filled with samples. However, the problem with this application is that, although there are multiple openings on the surface of the hollow long straight part, when the handheld handle is inserted into the brewer's grains, the brewer's grains on the surface will directly fill the lowest opening that is entered first. Even if the hollow long straight part is inserted into the deepest part of the brewer's grains, as the insertion process progresses, the brewer's grains on the surface will still enter each opening, so effective stratified sampling cannot be achieved. For this reason, we propose a brewer's grains sampling tool. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiency that existing samplers can only sample surface samples, the utility model provides a wine mash sampling tool, which has the advantages that the sampling slot is sealed by a support tube during sampling, and the sampling slot is opened for sampling after being inserted into the wine mash, thereby solving the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0014] A first annular seat is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical seat, which is in clearance with the support sleeve. The bottom of the spring is elastically supported on the first annular seat. Driven by the spring, the limit plate is always placed on the second annular seat.

[0015] A limiting mechanism is also provided between the second annular seat and the cylindrical seat to prevent them from rotating, so that when the second handle is rotated to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, the cylindrical seat remains stationary.

[0016] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a strip groove provided on the surface of the cylindrical seat, and a limiting block disposed inside the movable strip groove is provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical seat.

[0017] Preferably, a mounting groove is provided at one end of the top of the first handle close to the support sleeve, and the mounting groove extends to the bottom of the limit plate;

[0018] A rocker is provided in the mounting slot, the middle position of the rocker is rotatably connected to both sides of the mounting slot, the rocker is tilted upward and its bottom is placed below the limit plate, when the rocker is pressed, the rocker rotates and drives the limit plate to rise, and the rising distance is at least enough to allow the connecting seat to separate from the connecting head.

[0019] Preferably, the connecting seat is a spline sleeve and the connecting head is a spline shaft.

[0020] Preferably, a certain distance is provided between the first handle and the second handle so that the second handle does not contact the rocker.

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a brewing lees sampling tool, comprising a support tube 1, an opening 21 is provided on one side of the support tube 1, and the surface curvature of the support tube 1 does not exceed 180 degrees, that is, the support tube 1 is at most half of the complete tube, and a sampling tube 12, a plurality of sampling grooves 9 are provided on the surface of the sampling tube 12, and the opening size of the sampling grooves 9 does not exceed half of the surface curvature of the sampling tube 12. In actual use, when the sampling tube 12 is placed in the support tube 1, the area of ​​the support tube 1 is large enough to seal the sampling grooves 9;

[0032] The sampling tube 12 is placed in the support tube 1 through the opening 21, and the clearance between the two allows the sampling tube 12 to rotate freely in the support tube 1. A support sleeve 6 is coaxially provided on the top of the support tube 1. A rotating shaft 5 is movable in the support sleeve 6. The rotating shaft 5 can move up and down and rotate circumferentially. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the rotating shaft 5 extends into the supporting tube 1 and is connected to the connecting seat 7 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 5. A connector 22 is provided on the top of the sampling tube 12.

[0033] To facilitate left-handed control by the operator, a first handle 2 is provided on one side of the support sleeve 6, and a second handle 4 is provided on the top of the rotating shaft 5. The operator can respectively hold the first handle 2 and the second handle 4 with both hands. In the initial state, the operator lifts the second handle 4 to drive the connecting seat 7 upward. When the sampling tube 12 is placed into the support tube 1 through the opening 21, the connector 22 is located below the connecting seat 7. At this time, the connecting seat 7 and the connector 22 are coaxial. The connecting seat 7 is then controlled to move downward and sleeve onto the connector 22, thereby achieving power connection. A bottom bracket 11 is provided at the bottom of the support tube 1 to hold the bottom of the sampling tube 12. A placement groove 10 is provided on the top of the bottom bracket 11, and the bottom of the sampling tube 12 is movably placed in the placement groove 10.

[0034] The specific operation process is to place the sampling tube 12 inside the support tube 1, then move the rotating shaft 5 downward to allow the connecting seat 7 to dock with the connecting head 22. The connecting seat 7 is a spline sleeve, and the connecting head 22 is a spline shaft. When the two are docked, the power connection can be achieved. Then, the second handle 4 is turned to drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. When the sampling slot 9 driven by the rotating shaft 5 is completely sealed by the support tube 1, the first handle 2 can be held to insert the support tube 1 into the wine mash.

[0035] Next, the operator holds the first handle 2 and rotates the second handle 4 with the other hand. Since the sampling trough 9 has been inserted into the wine mash, the sampling trough 9 rotates along with the rotation of the rotating shaft 5. When the sampling trough 9 is rotated out of the support tube 1, the wine mash falls into the sampling trough 9. The sampling trough 9 is then rotated back into the support tube 1 and sealed. The support tube is then pulled out of the wine mash.

[0036] After the support tube is pulled out, the operator can lift the rotating shaft 5 to separate the connecting seat 7 from the connecting head 22, and then remove the sampling tube 12 from the support tube 1, making it easier for the operator to remove samples from each sampling slot 9 and also facilitate cleaning the sampling slot 9 and the support tube 1. Of course, the operator can also continue to rotate the sampling tube 12 to allow the sampling slot 9 to leak out, and then remove the sample.

[0037] This application improves the connection between the rotating shaft 5 and the supporting sleeve 6, such as Figure 5 As shown, a cylindrical seat 23 is movably disposed within the support sleeve. The rotating shaft 5 and the cylindrical seat 23 are coaxially connected to each other. Specifically, the ends of the cylindrical seat 23 are connected to the rotating shaft 5 via bearings, allowing the rotating shaft 5 to rotate within the cylindrical seat 23. A certain gap exists between the cylindrical seat 23 and the support sleeve 6. A spring 18 is disposed within this gap. The spring 18 is sheathed on the cylindrical seat 23. A first annular seat 19 is also disposed at the bottom of the cylindrical seat 23 to retain the spring 18.

[0038] A second annular seat 20 is coaxially provided on the top of the inner wall of the support sleeve 6. The top of the cylindrical seat 23 is movably placed in the second annular seat 20. The top of the cylindrical seat 23 extends above the second annular seat 20. The edge of the top of the cylindrical seat 23 is provided with a limit plate 14 that extends outward and sits on the second annular seat 20.

[0039] The support sleeve 6 and the first annular seat 19 are clearance-fitted, and the bottom of the spring 18 is elastically supported on the first annular seat 19. Driven by the spring 18, the limit plate 14 is always placed on the second annular seat 20.

[0040] A limiting mechanism is also provided between the second annular seat 20 and the cylindrical seat 23 to prevent them from rotating. The limiting mechanism allows the cylindrical seat 23 to move linearly up and down within the support sleeve 6, but not to rotate circumferentially. In this way, when the second handle 4 is turned to drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, the cylindrical seat 23 remains stationary, so that the second handle 4 can still drive the rotating shaft 5 and the connecting seat 7 to rotate at the same time.

[0041] Specifically, the advantage of the structures such as the cylindrical seat 23 and the spring 18 is that the spring 18 allows the connecting seat 7 to always have a tendency to move downward. When the connecting seat 7 is connected with the connecting head 22, the connecting seat 7 and the connecting head 22 will never be separated without lifting the rotating shaft 5, so that the two will not loosen, thereby ensuring the continuity of the rotating sampling slot 9. When the sampling tube needs to be taken out, the rotating shaft 5 can still be lifted.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 5As shown, the above-mentioned limiting mechanism specifically includes a strip groove 17 opened on the surface of the cylindrical seat 23, and a limiting block 16 is provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical seat 23 and placed inside the movable strip groove 17. The number of the limiting mechanism is at least one group. After the strip groove 17 and the limiting block 16 cooperate, the cylindrical seat 23 can only move up and down.

[0043] In order to be able to lift the limit plate 14 with one hand, the operation is more convenient. Figure 5 As shown, a mounting groove 13 is provided at one end of the top of the first handle 2 close to the support sleeve 6 , and the mounting groove 13 extends to the bottom of the limit plate 14 ;

[0044] When the lever 14 is in the upright position, the lever 14 is in the upright position, and the lever 14 is in the upright position, so that the lever 14 can be lifted up and down, thereby the lever 14 is in the upright position.

[0045] However, it should be noted that no matter how the rocker 3 is pressed, its end is always located below the limit plate 14 and will not separate.

[0046] Furthermore, a certain distance is provided between the first handle 2 and the second handle 4 so that the second handle 4 does not contact the rocker 3 , and the size of the distance does not affect the holding of the first handle 2 by one hand.

[0047] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the positions of the sampling slot 9 and the support tube 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, a pointer 15 is provided at a position of the rotating shaft 5 near the limit plate 14, and an indicator scale 24 is provided on the surface of the limit plate 14 near the first handle 2; when the pointer 15 coincides with the indicator scale 24, the second handle 4 is located directly opposite the first handle 2, the two are parallel, and the sampling slot 9 is now sealed by the support tube 1;

[0048] Thus, in actual use, first adjust the second handle 4 to Figure 2 In the position shown, the second handle 4 is located directly opposite the first handle 2 . The sampling slot 9 is now completely sealed in the support tube 1 . It should be noted that the pointer 15 coincides with the indicator scale 24 .

[0049] Insert the support tube 1 into the wine mash, and then rotate the second handle 4. Figure 1As shown, the sampling slot 9 is completely exposed from the support tube 1. During the actual operation, the sampling tube 12 is rotated several times;

[0050] Finally, adjust the second handle 4 again to Figure 2 In the position shown, the pointer 15 and the indicator scale 24 coincide with each other again. At this time, the sampling tank 9 is sealed by the support tube 1, and the sampling tank is full of wine mash. Therefore, the pointer 15 and the indicator scale 24 are set to facilitate the positioning of the sampling tank 9.

[0051] Based on the above embodiment, further optimization can be performed to more conveniently remove the sampling tube. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connecting rod 8 is coaxially provided on the top of the sampling tube 12. The diameter of the connecting rod 8 is smaller than the diameter of the sampling tube, so that there is a gap between the connecting rod 8 and the support tube 1 for convenient removal of the connecting rod 8. The connecting head 22 is provided on the top of the connecting rod 8. In this way, when taking out the sampling tube, the thumb and fingers are inserted into the gap to pinch the connecting rod 8 to take out the sampling tube 12.

[0052] Based on the above embodiment, further optimization can be performed, where the connector 22 can be replaced by a column with a polygonal prism structure, and the inner cavity shape of the connector seat 7 always matches the connector 22 .

[0053] Based on the above embodiment, further optimization can be performed. The bottom shape of the base 11 is round or pointed. At the same time, a certain damping force can be generated between the shaft 5 and the cylindrical seat by setting rubber or friction plate to prevent the shaft 5 from swinging randomly.
