Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, and in particular to a still positioning device and a brewing system. Background Technology
[0002] The still and the earthen pot are important components of traditional brewing equipment, and their connection structure is crucial for the smooth progress of the brewing process. The earthen pot is the heating device in the brewing process, usually located below the still, used to generate steam. The earthen pot contains a heating device (such as a furnace or electric heating element) that heats the water inside to produce steam.
[0003] The combination of the still and the earthen pot in the current brewing system has some space, which may prevent the wine from being placed in the preset position. This results in the inability to form a completely sealed space, leading to air leakage and preventing the wine from being extracted to the maximum extent, thus causing wine loss. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, a still positioning device and a brewing system are provided to solve the problem in the prior art where there is a space between the still and the pot after it is placed, allowing the still to move, which results in poor sealing at the connection between the still and the pot.
[0005] On one hand, this utility model provides a still positioning device, which is used to place the still above the earthen pot. The positioning device includes:
[0006] The main body of the device has a ring-shaped structure.
[0007] Support section, which extends radially along the main body of the device, is used to place the feet of the still.
[0008] The abutting part is fixed to the inner wall of the annular structure. The abutting part protrudes towards the axis of the main body of the device and has a certain deformation in the radial direction. The abutting part is used to deform radially and press against the outer wall of the still.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0010] In one implementation, the abutting part is a metal part, and the abutting part has a protruding strip-shaped structure or a protruding thin-walled structure.
[0011] In one implementation, the abutment part is a strip-shaped structure, with both ends of the abutment part fixed to the main body of the device by welding. The abutment part is arranged vertically and protrudes radially in the middle.
[0012] In one implementation, there are at least three abutting parts, and the abutting parts are evenly distributed along the circumference of the main body of the device.
[0013] In one implementation, the support protrudes radially from the main body of the device, forming a rectangular cavity structure with an open top surface. The side of the rectangular cavity structure connected to the main body of the device is also open, and the rectangular cavity structure is used to limit the feet of the still in three directions.
[0014] In one implementation, there are four supports that are evenly distributed around the circumference of the main body of the device.
[0015] In one implementation, the positioning device further includes:
[0016] The sealing part is connected to the inner wall of the device body and extends towards the axis of the device body. The sealing part is an annular groove structure with an opening at the top.
[0017] The filler is placed inside the sealing part and is deformable.
[0018] In one implementation, the filler is wine lees.
[0019] In one implementation, the positioning device further includes:
[0020] The safety net is circular, and its circumference is connected to the inner wall of the sealing part.
[0021] On the other hand, this utility model also provides a winemaking system, including a still positioning device, and further comprising:
[0022] The still is located above the positioning device;
[0023] The earthen pot is located below the positioning device.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A support portion for placing the still's feet is provided, facilitating the adjustment of the still's circumferential placement angle. The main body of the positioning device has a ring structure, making it easy to place the positioning device above and cover the pot. A contact portion is provided; since the contact portion can deform radially, after the still is placed inside the positioning device, the radial compression of the contact portion tightly presses the still, effectively reducing the still's movement space and making its position more stable. Furthermore, the contact portion also reduces still movement and improves the sealing effect after the still is connected, effectively reducing wine loss and improving economic efficiency.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0031] The structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings of this specification are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which this utility model can be implemented. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationships, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that this utility model can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.
[0032] A still positioning device, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning device is used to place the still and position it above the pot. The positioning device includes a main body 1, a support part 2, and a contact part 3. The main body 1 has a ring structure. The support part 2 extends radially along the main body 1 and is used to place the feet of the still. The contact part 3 is fixed to the inner wall of the ring structure and protrudes towards the axis of the main body 1. The contact part 3 has a certain deformation in the radial direction and is used to deform radially and press against the outer wall of the still.
[0033] The advantages of this application are as follows: The support part 2 for placing the still feet facilitates the adjustment of the still's circumferential placement angle; the main body 1 of the positioning device has a ring structure, making it easy to place the positioning device above and cover the pot; the abutment part 3, which can deform radially, allows the still to be radially pressed together after being placed in the positioning device, effectively reducing the still's movement space and making its position more stable; furthermore, the abutment part 3 also reduces still movement and improves the sealing after the still is connected, thus effectively reducing wine loss and improving economic efficiency.
[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The number of abutment parts 3 can be adjusted as needed. Abutment parts 3 can be thin-walled structures or strip-shaped deformable structures. Abutment parts 3 can also be plastic or rubber parts with a certain deformation. In order to ensure that the position of the still is pressed tightly in the radial direction, the inner circle formed by abutment parts 3 in the positioning device is smaller than the radial dimension of the still, so that after the still is placed in the positioning device, abutment parts 3 will necessarily be in a deformed state.
[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the abutment part 3 is a metal part, and the abutment part 3 has a protruding strip-shaped structure or a protruding thin-walled structure. In this way, by making the abutment part 3 a metal part, the structural strength of the abutment part 3 is guaranteed, that is, the abutment part 3 can continuously apply a pushing force to the outer wall of the still through deformation, thereby reducing the amount of movement of the still after it is placed in the positioning device, thereby reducing the amount of shaking of the still after it is placed in the positioning device; in addition, the strip-shaped abutment part 3 has a certain length, so that the middle part of the abutment part 3 can undergo a certain deformation, thereby pressing against the still, and making the deformation of the abutment part 3 convenient; when the abutment part 3 is a thin-walled structure, the abutment part 3 forms an outward bulging structure in the middle part, so that the bulging part of the abutment part 3 abuts against the still and produces a certain deformation, and the abutment part 3 plays the role of deforming and absorbing the radial movement of the still.
[0036] In this embodiment, when the strip-shaped abutment part 3 is fixed to the device body 1, one end of the abutment part 3 can be fixed to the device body 1, and the middle part of the abutment part 3 and other positions can be used to abut against the still to deform it; the strip-shaped abutment part 3 can also be fixed to the device body 1 at both ends, and the middle part of the abutment part 3 can be used to abut against the still to deform it, thereby pressing against the still; or, if the length of the strip-shaped abutment part 3 is too long, multiple points can be set to fix it to the device body 1, thereby enhancing the strength and stability of the abutment part 3.
[0037] In this embodiment, the thin-walled abutment part 3 can be a peripheral edge portion connected to the main body 1 of the device, with only the central part protruding in an arc-shaped structure. The abutment part 3 abuts against the still through the central protrusion, that is, the abutment part 3 can be a thin-walled curved surface structure. When the abutment part 3 is curved, the contact area between the abutment part 3 and the still is large when the abutment part 3 deforms. This can push the still and radially press it against, while avoiding excessive stress on the local area of the outer wall of the still, thus protecting the outer wall of the still.
[0038] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The abutment part 3 is a strip-shaped structure, with both ends of the abutment part 3 fixed to the main body 1 of the device by welding. The abutment part 3 is arranged vertically and protrudes radially in the middle. In this way, the abutment part 3 is set as a strip-shaped structure, which facilitates the manufacturing and welding of the abutment part 3. The abutment part 3 is strip-shaped and the middle protrudes towards the main body 1 of the device, so that it abuts against the outer wall of the still after the still is put into the main body 1 of the device. The protruding structure in the middle facilitates the insertion of the still. When the still is inserted, it can slide down along the top of the abutment part 3 to the set position. In addition, the abutment part 3 is arranged vertically, which, relative to the horizontal arrangement of the abutment part 3, results in a larger contact surface with the outer circumference of the still when the abutment part 3 deforms. This helps to reduce the pressure at the contact point between the abutment part 3 and the still and avoids damage to the outer wall of the still when the abutment part 3 deforms.
[0039] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The abutment portion 3 has at least three parts, and the plurality of abutment portions 3 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the main body 1 of the device. In this way, by providing a plurality of abutment portions 3, the outer wall of the still is abutted along the circumferential direction, and when there are at least three abutment portions 3, a stable abutment structure can be formed on the outer circumference of the still.
[0040] In some embodiments, there are four abutting portions 3, which are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.
[0041] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support part 2 protrudes radially from the main body 1 of the device, forming a rectangular cavity structure with an open top surface. The side of the rectangular cavity structure connected to the main body 1 is also open. This rectangular cavity structure serves to limit the position of the still's feet in three directions. Thus, the radial protrusion of the support part 2 and its rectangular cavity structure facilitate the accommodation of the still's feet. The open top and open side of the support part 2 facilitate the insertion and position adjustment of the still's feet. Furthermore, the presence of a support part 2 corresponding to the still's feet limits their movement, reducing the clearance between the still's feet and the still's position on the positioning device, thereby improving the stability of the still after placement.
[0042] For specific embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support part 2 has limiting surfaces in three directions for the feet of the still, and the three limiting surfaces are set in the vertical direction, which can prevent the feet of the still from moving too much.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1The support part 2 has four parts, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the main body 1 of the device. In this way, four positioning parts are set so that there is a corresponding positioning part on all four sides of the circumference of the still, so that the force on the still is balanced around the still and the stability of the still is improved after it is fixed.
[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 There are four abutting parts 3, which are evenly distributed along the circumference. There are also four corresponding positioning parts, which are also evenly distributed along the circumference. The abutting parts 3 and the positioning parts are arranged adjacent to each other, and each abutting part 3 is located next to the position where the positioning part is opened on the main body 1 of the device.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning device also includes a sealing part 4 and a filler. The sealing part 4 is connected to the inner wall of the main body 1 and extends towards the axis of the main body 1. The sealing part 4 is an annular groove structure with an open top. The filler is placed inside the sealing part 4 and is deformable. In this way, by setting up the sealing part 4, filling the sealing part 4 with the filler first, and then placing the still, the sealing effect at the bottom of the still is better, reducing the leakage of air after the still is placed, minimizing wine loss, and improving economic efficiency.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the filler is distiller's grains. This method of using distiller's grains as a sealing filler is highly economical.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning device also includes a safety net 5, which is circular and connected circumferentially to the inner wall of the sealing part 4. This safety net 5 protects the operator from falling into the cooking pot during position adjustments or other operations.
[0048] In a specific embodiment, the mesh size of the safety net 5 can be selected to be not too thick in order to improve the protection of the operator.
[0049] A brewing system includes a still positioning device, a still, and a base pot, with the still positioned above the positioning device and the base pot positioned below it. This positioning device, with a support portion 2 and an abutment portion 3, reduces the movement gap after the still is moved above the base pot, improving the relative stability between the two. Furthermore, it also reduces the movement of the still, thereby improving the seal between the still and the base pot.
[0050] In the embodiment, since the positioning device needs to withstand the corrosive effects of high temperature and steam during use, the positioning device can be made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant materials such as stainless steel.
