Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment, and more specifically, to a storage tank for brewing. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing refers to the process of producing alcoholic beverages through the fermentation of raw materials by microorganisms. In the later stages of brewing, storage tanks are usually used. By storing the wine for a period of time, the storage process also has an aging function. During storage, the main components of the wine undergo association reactions, allowing the components to reach a balance and stability through the association process. Therefore, it is necessary to store the wine in containers for a certain period of time.

[0003] However, existing storage tanks are usually just a single tank, which means that the outer wall of the storage tank lacks a collision protection mechanism. As a result, when the storage tank is hit by an external force, the outer wall of the storage tank is easily damaged, causing the storage tank to deform or be damaged, resulting in the wine inside the storage tank overflowing or spilling.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a storage tank for brewing.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a storage tank for brewing, comprising an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe respectively installed on the tank body, the tank body comprising an outer shell and an inner shell, the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe respectively connected to the inner shell, the inner shell fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell, a cooling cavity formed between the outer shell and the inner shell, an installation ring fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the bottom of the outer shell, a refrigeration unit provided at the top of the installation ring, an air inlet pipe fixedly connected to the refrigeration unit for extending into the interior of the outer shell, one end of the air inlet pipe located in the cooling cavity, and an anti-collision component for shielding the outer shell and the refrigeration unit provided on the installation ring.

[0007] Preferably, the anti-collision component includes two symmetrically arranged outer baffle plates, which are slidably connected to the top surface of the mounting ring. The mounting ring has multiple dovetail grooves, and a spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the dovetail groove near the outer shell. A magnetic block is fixedly connected to the end of the spring away from the outer shell. A dovetail block for being accommodated in the dovetail groove is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer baffle plate. The dovetail block is made of ferromagnetic metal, and the dovetail block and the magnetic block are attracted to each other so that the outer baffle plate is mounted on the mounting ring.

[0008] Preferably, the anti-collision assembly further includes two symmetrically arranged inner baffle plates, with a gap between the inner baffle plates and the outer baffle plates. A gap is formed between the inner baffle plates and the outer shell to accommodate the refrigerator and the air intake pipe. A plurality of spaced mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped concave surface of the inner baffle plates. The refrigerator is located between two of the mounting blocks, and there is a gap between the mounting blocks and the outer shell. A vertically arranged connecting rod is provided at the bottom of the mounting block. A support ring for abutting against the top surface of the mounting ring is fixedly connected to the bottom outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod. The bottom end of the connecting rod passes through the mounting ring, and a nut is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod. The nut fits against the bottom surface of the mounting ring.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the connecting rod are machined with external threads on their outer peripheral walls, and the top end of the connecting rod is threaded to the bottom of the mounting block.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the gas collection box has a vent hole that communicates with its interior, the bottom end of the gas outlet pipe extends into the vent hole, and the top of the gas collection box is fixedly connected to a sealing cover by a connecting strap, the sealing cover being used to embed into the vent hole.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This solution divides the tank into an outer shell and an inner shell, installs a refrigeration unit on the outer shell, and extends one end of the air inlet pipe of the refrigeration unit between the outer shell and the inner shell. Furthermore, an anti-collision component is installed on the outer shell to shield both the outer shell and the refrigeration unit. Wine is poured into the inner shell through the feed pipe for storage and fermentation. The refrigeration unit generates cold air, which is then transported through the air inlet pipe to the cooling chamber formed between the outer and inner shells. This cold air is distributed on both the inner and outer walls of the outer shell, indirectly contacting the wine in the inner shell to cool it. This prevents the inner shell from overheating and affecting the fermentation of the wine inside, maintaining a more suitable fermentation temperature. The anti-collision component shields both the outer shell and the refrigeration unit, thus buffering the impact force when the tank is subjected to external force, reducing the risk of damage to the outer wall of the outer shell and preventing the wine from overflowing or spilling from the inner shell. Therefore, the anti-collision component protects both the outer shell and the refrigeration unit. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] Example:

[0021] A storage tank for brewing, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the tank 1 includes an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet pipe 3 welded to the top and bottom of the tank body 1, respectively. The tank body 1 includes an outer shell 101 and an inner shell 102. Three support feet are welded to the bottom of the outer shell 101. The inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 3 are respectively connected to the inner shell 102. The inner shell 102 is welded to the inner top wall and inner bottom wall of the outer shell 101. A cooling chamber 4 is formed between the outer shell 101 and the inner shell 102. An installation ring 5 is welded to the outer peripheral wall of the bottom of the outer shell 101. A refrigeration unit 6 is placed on the top of the installation ring 5. An air inlet for extending into the interior of the outer shell 101 is welded onto the refrigeration unit 6. Pipe 7, one end of the intake pipe 7 is located inside the cooling chamber 4. An anti-collision assembly for shielding the outer casing 101 and the refrigerator 6 is provided on the mounting ring 5. The anti-collision assembly includes two symmetrically arranged outer baffle plates 8, which are slidably connected to the top surface of the mounting ring 5. Multiple dovetail grooves 9 are formed on the mounting ring 5. A spring 10 is welded to the inner wall of the end of the dovetail groove 9 closest to the outer casing 101. A magnet 11 is attached to the end of the spring 10 away from the outer casing 101. A dovetail block 12, made of iron, is welded to the bottom of the outer baffle plate 8 to accommodate within the dovetail groove 9. The dovetail block 12 is attracted to the magnetic block 11 so that the outer baffle plate 8 is mounted on the mounting ring 5. The anti-collision assembly also includes two symmetrically arranged inner baffle plates 13. There is a gap between the inner baffle plate 13 and the outer baffle plate 8. A gap is formed between the inner baffle plate 13 and the outer casing 101 to accommodate the refrigerator 6 and the intake pipe 7. Multiple spaced mounting blocks 14 are welded to the arc-shaped concave surface of the inner baffle plate 13. The refrigerator 6 is located between two of the mounting blocks 14, and there is a gap between the mounting block 14 and the outer casing 101. A vertically arranged connecting rod 1 is provided at the bottom of the mounting block 14. 5. A support ring 16 is welded to the bottom outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod 15 to abut against the top surface of the mounting ring 5. The bottom end of the connecting rod 15 passes through the mounting ring 5 and a nut 17 is threadedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod 15. The mounting ring 5 has a through hole corresponding to the connecting rod 15 and for the connecting rod 15 to pass through. The nut 17 fits against the bottom surface of the mounting ring 5. The outer peripheral walls of both ends of the connecting rod 15 are machined with external threads, and the top end of the connecting rod 15 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block 14. The bottom of the mounting block 14 has a threaded hole for threaded connection with the top end of the connecting rod 15.

[0022] The outer casing 101 has an opening 18 for inserting one end of the air inlet pipe 7. The opening 18 is connected to the cooling chamber 4. A sealing ring 19 is bonded to the inner peripheral wall of the opening 18. The air inlet pipe 7 is pressed against the inner peripheral wall of the sealing ring 19. An air outlet pipe 20 connected to the cooling chamber 4 is welded to the bottom of the outer casing 101. A gas collection box 21 is provided at the bottom of the outer casing 101. The gas collection box 21 can be placed on the ground. The bottom end of the air outlet pipe 20 extends into the gas collection box 21. Valves are installed on the feed pipe 2, the discharge pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 20. A vent hole 22 connected to the top of the gas collection box 21 is provided. The bottom end of the air outlet pipe 20 extends into the vent hole 22. A sealing cover 23 is bonded to the top of the gas collection box 21 by a connecting strip. The sealing cover 23 is used to be inserted into the vent hole 22.

[0023] The user first opens the valve on the feed pipe 2. At this time, the valves on the discharge pipe 3 and the air outlet pipe 20 are both closed. Then, the user pours the wine into the inner shell 102 through the feed pipe 2 and closes the valve on the feed pipe 2 for storage and fermentation. After the wine is stored inside the inner shell 102, the refrigeration unit 6 is started to generate cold air. The cold air is delivered to the cooling chamber 4 through the air inlet pipe 7. Because the air inlet pipe 7 is tightly pressed against the inner circumferential wall of the sealing ring 19, cold air is prevented from flowing out of the outer shell 101 through the opening 18. The cold air is distributed on the inner wall of the outer shell 101 and the outer wall of the inner shell 102. The cold air interacts with the wine stored inside the inner shell 102. Indirect contact between the wine and the container can cool the wine, preventing excessively high internal temperatures from affecting fermentation and ensuring a more suitable fermentation temperature. When the container is impacted by an external force, the object will collide with one of the two outer baffles 8, causing one of the baffles 8 to be pushed horizontally towards the outer shell 101. As the baffle 8 moves, it causes the dovetail block 12 to slide within the dovetail groove 9 and move towards the outer shell 101. At this time, the dovetail block 12 and the magnetic block 11 are attracted to each other by magnetic force, causing the spring 10 to be gradually compressed as the dovetail block 12 moves towards the outer shell 101. When compression deformation occurs, the object collides with the outer baffle plate 8 and is compressed by the spring 10, which acts as a buffer. This allows the outer baffle plate 8 to continue moving closer to the outer shell 101 until the concave surface of the outer baffle plate 8 abuts against the convex surface of the inner baffle plate 13. At this point, the connecting rod 15 passes through the through hole on the mounting ring 5, and the nut 17 is threaded onto the bottom end of the connecting rod 15. The nut 17 fits against the bottom surface of the mounting ring 5, the support ring 16 abuts against the top surface of the mounting ring 5, and the top end of the connecting rod 15 is threaded into the threaded hole at the bottom of the mounting block 14. The inner baffle plate 13 further supports the outer baffle plate 8, thus providing a buffer. The effect is to prevent objects from colliding with the outer baffle plate 8 against the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 101 during the process of pushing the outer baffle plate 8, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 101 after the tank 1 is subjected to external force collisions from objects, and preventing the wine inside the inner shell 102 from overflowing or spilling. When the outer baffle plate 8 and the inner baffle plate 13 are in contact with each other, the outer baffle plate 8 does not come into contact with the refrigeration unit 6 and the air inlet pipe 7. Thus, the anti-collision component protects the outer shell 101 and the refrigeration unit 6 at the same time. After the wine fermentation is completed, the valve on the discharge pipe 3 is opened to allow the wine to flow out from the inside of the inner shell 102 for collection and treatment.

[0024] When the outer baffle plate 8 is damaged by an object and needs to be disassembled and replaced, the user holds and pulls the damaged outer baffle plate 8 away from the outer casing 101, so that the dovetail block 12 does not attract the magnetic block 11 until the dovetail block 12 disengages from the dovetail groove 9, thus making it easy to remove the damaged outer baffle plate 8 from the mounting ring 5 for replacement. First, rotate the nut 17 to prevent it from contacting the bottom surface of the mounting ring 5 and to disengage the nut 17 from the bottom of the connecting rod 15. Then, move the inner baffle plate 13 upward and drive the multiple mounting blocks 14 and connecting rod 15 connected to the inner baffle plate 13, so that the bottom end of the connecting rod 15 disengages from the through hole on the mounting ring 5 and the support ring 16 does not fit against the top surface of the mounting ring 5. The inner baffle plate 13 can then be removed from the mounting ring 5 for replacement. After the inner baffle plate 13 is removed from the mounting ring 5, rotate the connecting rod 15 to disengage one end from the threaded hole at the bottom of the mounting block 14, thus removing the connecting rod 15 from the mounting block 14 for replacement or storage.

[0025] As the cold air in the cooling chamber 4 gradually increases, causing the air pressure in the tank 1 to increase, the valve on the outlet pipe 20 is opened, allowing the gas to flow through the outlet pipe 20 into the gas collection box 21. At this time, the gas is collected in the gas collection box 21 through the vent hole 22 in the outlet pipe 20. Then, the valve on the outlet pipe 20 is closed and the gas collection box 21 is pulled away from the outer shell 101, so that the vent hole 22 is not aligned with the outlet pipe 20. Then, the sealing cover 23 is put on to make it abut against the inner peripheral wall of the vent hole 22, preventing the collected gas from flowing out of the gas collection box 21 through the vent hole 22. The gas collection box 21 can then be moved and transported to the required location for gas treatment.
