Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquor production, in particular to a device for measuring the quality of liquor stored in a pottery jar. Background Art

[0002] High-quality baijiu is typically aged for one to five years before blending. Distillers typically use large ceramic jars (approximately 1200 liters, weighing approximately 0.35 tons empty) for aging. These large jars are often handmade, resulting in significant variations in shape and volume. In actual production, using a flow meter to measure the weight of the liquor in the jars during pouring results in significant errors. Furthermore, once filled, the jars cannot be moved, let alone placed on a platform scale for weighing. Therefore, accurately quantifying the initial liquor storage in each jar is extremely difficult. Utility Model Content

The platform scale is provided with a display for displaying the total mass of the support frame and the water tank. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the water tank, which is connected to a drain pipe. The end of the drain pipe away from the water tank can be placed in the pottery jar. A control valve is provided on the drain pipe. The support frame supports the bottom of the water tank to a level higher than the pottery jar, so that when the control valve is opened, the water in the water tank can move into the pottery jar under the action of the physical drop.

This allows the water in the tank to flow into the jar due to the physical drop when the control valve is opened. In practice, the wine storage capacity of the jar can be determined based on the difference in measurement before and after filling, as shown on the display. This eliminates the need to move the jar, enabling precise quantification and simple operation, resulting in significant application value.

[0007] In some embodiments, universal wheels with brakes are provided at the bottom of the platform.

[0008] In some embodiments, the water tank is made of food-grade stainless steel.

[0009] In some embodiments, the water tank is cylindrical, rectangular, or cube-shaped.

[0010] In some embodiments, a water inlet with a diameter of 30 cm to 50 cm is provided at the top of the water tank, and a drain outlet with a diameter of 4 cm to 7 cm is provided at the bottom.

[0011] In some embodiments, the drainage pipe is 5m-100m long.

In practice, the difference in measurement before and after the jar is filled, as shown on the display, indicates the jar's wine storage capacity. This method eliminates the need to move the jar, enabling precise quantification and simple operation, demonstrating its significant application value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0016] Figure 1 The present invention is a schematic structural diagram of a device for measuring the quality of wine stored in a ceramic jar.

[0017] Marked in the figure are: 1-platform, 2-water tank, 3-control valve, 4-support frame, 5-drain pipe, 6-display. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a device for measuring the quality of wine stored in a pottery jar.

[0021] A device for measuring the mass of wine stored in a pottery jar comprises a platform scale, a support frame 4, a water tank 2 and a pottery jar. The support frame 4 is located on the platform 1 of the platform scale and is used to support the water tank 2. The platform scale is provided with a display 6 for displaying the total mass of the support frame 4 and the water tank 2. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the water tank 2, and a drain pipe 5 is connected to the drain outlet. The end of the drain pipe 5 away from the water tank 2 can be placed in the pottery jar. A control valve 3 is provided on the drain pipe 5. The support frame 4 supports the bottom of the water tank 2 to a horizontal height higher than the pottery jar, so that when the control valve 3 is opened, the water in the water tank 2 can move into the pottery jar under the action of the physical drop.

[0022] In this application, a support frame 4, a platform scale, and a water tank 2 are provided. The platform scale has a connected platform 1 and a display 6. The display 6 is used to display the total mass of the support frame 4 and water tank 2 on the platform 1. The water tank 2 outlet is elevated above the pottery jar by the support frame 4. This allows the water in the water tank 2 to flow into the pottery jar due to the physical drop when the control valve 3 is opened. In practice, the wine storage capacity of the pottery jar can be calculated based on the difference in measurement before and after the pottery jar is filled, as shown on the display 6. This eliminates the need to move the jar, achieving precise quantification and simple operation, thus possessing significant application value.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the platform 1 and the display 6 of the platform scale in this embodiment are connected and not integrally arranged. In some embodiments, the display 6 is arranged on the platform 1.

[0024] In some embodiments, universal wheels with brakes are provided at the bottom of the platform 1 to facilitate the movement of the entire device, thereby further expanding the range of pottery jars that can be measured.

[0025] In this embodiment, the water tank 2 is made of food-grade stainless steel.

[0026] In this embodiment, the water tank 2 may be cylindrical, with a diameter of 0.5m-1.1m and a height of 0.6m-1.5m.

[0027] In some embodiments, the water tank 2 may also be a combination of one or more common shapes such as a rectangular parallelepiped or a cube.

[0028] In this embodiment, a water inlet with a diameter of 30 cm to 50 cm is provided at the top of the water tank 2, and a water outlet with a diameter of 4 cm to 7 cm is provided at the bottom.

[0029] In this embodiment, the length of the drain pipe 5 is 5m-100m. Obviously, the drain pipe 5 is connected to the drain outlet, and the diameter of the drain pipe 5 should be adapted to the size of the drain outlet.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water tank 2 is fixedly welded on the support frame 4. The support frame 4 in this embodiment has a height of 1.2m-1.8m and can bear a weight of 2T-3T.

[0031] In this embodiment, the measurement accuracy of the platform scale is Platform 1 measures 1.2m*1.2m-1.5m*1.5m, with a measuring range of 0.2T-3T. Depending on the accuracy of the platform scale, the quantitative accuracy of liquor in the pottery jar can reach 1 / 1000 or more.

[0032] Method for measuring the quality of wine stored in pottery jars:

[0033] Step 1: Place the welded water tank 2 and support frame 4 on the platform 1 of the platform scale, and tare the platform scale;

[0034] Step 2: Use the wine pump to fill the water tank 2 with wine and record the reading on the platform scale;

[0035] Step 3: Open the control valve 3, and the wine is poured into the pottery jar through the drainage pipe 5 at the bottom of the water tank 2. When the liquid level in the pottery jar reaches a certain position, the control valve 3 is closed and the reading of the platform scale is recorded;

[0036] Step 4: Calculate the difference between the two readings on the platform scale to obtain the amount of wine stored in the pottery jar.

[0037] Steps 2-4 can be repeated to connect the end of the drain pipe 5 away from the water tank 2 to different pottery jars, thereby measuring the wine storage capacity of different pottery jars.

[0038] Obviously, filling the water tank 2 in step 2 is not a necessary requirement for determining the amount of wine stored in the pottery jar. In practice, as long as the readings of the platform scale are recorded before and after the injection of a certain pottery jar, the difference between them is the current amount of wine stored in the pottery jar.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
