Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing auxiliary devices, specifically to a pneumatic oak barrel adding device. Background Technology
[0002] As consumers increasingly recognize and appreciate the elegant qualities of wines aged in oak barrels, oak barrels are becoming increasingly popular among winemakers worldwide. During the winemaking process using oak barrels, some wine evaporates as aging progresses. Incomplete storage can lead to oxidation and increased volatile acidity in the wine. Therefore, it is necessary to top up the oak barrels regularly to maintain a full storage capacity.
[0003] Currently, topping up wine typically involves using a single hose and a pressure pump to add wine from the storage tank to different oak barrels one by one. This method exposes the wine to air, increasing the risk of oxidation and affecting the quality of the wine. Furthermore, since the wine storage tanks are stationary, a very long hose is needed to accommodate all the barrels. This process requires dragging the hose between the barrels, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to leakage due to wear and tear, resulting in wine waste.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pneumatic oak barrel filling device that increases the pressure inside the barrel by filling it with nitrogen, thus completing the filling process and solving the above-mentioned problems in the wine filling process. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pneumatic oak barrel filling device, which uses nitrogen gas to increase the gas pressure inside the barrel as a power source to force the wine into the oak barrel, thereby completing the oak barrel filling work, reducing the contact between the wine and oxygen and preventing oxidation. At the same time, the mobile vehicle is used as the carrier for the filling tank, which facilitates movement, simplifies the filling operation, and prevents the wine from being wasted due to wear and tear on the filling hose.
[0006] This utility model provides a pneumatic oak barrel filling device, including a mobile vehicle, a filling mechanism, and a pneumatic mechanism, wherein:
[0007] The mobile vehicle body includes a base, with wheels on the lower side of the base and a push rod on the upper side of the base;
[0008] The wine-filling mechanism includes a wine-filling tank mounted on a base, a top cover with an air inlet on the top cover, and a wine-filling hose at the bottom of the wine-filling tank, with the other end of the wine-filling hose connected to a wine-filling gun.
[0009] The pneumatic mechanism includes a detachable air cover on the air inlet, an air intake manifold and a pressure relief pipe detachably connected to the air cover, a pressure measuring pipe detachably connected to the top of the air intake manifold, a pressure gauge on the top of the pressure measuring pipe, an air intake branch pipe connected to one side of the air intake manifold, and a pressure relief valve on the top of the pressure relief pipe.
[0010] Preferably, the push rod is provided with a set of hanging rods, on which the wine-adding hose and wine-adding gun can be suspended.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the wine tank is provided with a waste liquid outlet pipe, the waste liquid outlet pipe is provided with a waste liquid valve, and the other end of the waste liquid outlet pipe is connected to a waste liquid discharge pipe through a waste liquid pipe clamp.
[0012] Preferably, the air cover is connected to the air inlet via an air cover clamp.
[0013] Preferably, the pressure relief pipe includes a main pressure relief pipe and a branch pressure relief pipe connected to the side wall of the main pressure relief pipe.
[0014] Preferably, the intake branch pipe includes a connecting branch pipe connected to the side wall of the intake main pipe, a valve pipe detachably connected to the connecting branch pipe, an intake valve being installed on the valve pipe, and the other end of the valve pipe being detachably connected to the intake pipe.
[0015] Preferably, the gas cap is provided with a gas filling port and a pressure relief port, and the main air inlet pipe and the pressure relief pipe are respectively connected to the gas filling port and the pressure relief port through air pipe clamps.
[0016] Preferably, the main intake pipe and the pressure measuring pipe, the branch pipe and the valve pipe, and the valve pipe and the intake pipe are all connected by pipe clamps.
[0017] Preferably, it also includes a filtration mechanism, which includes a filter screen disposed inside the wine filling tank. The two ends of the filter screen are fitted to the inner wall of the wine filling tank through sealed bearings. A rotating handle is connected to the sealed bearings. A set of slots is provided on the outer wall of the wine filling tank, and the rotating handle can be engaged in any one of the slots.
[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the pneumatic oak barrel filling device involves opening the gas cap, filling the filling tank with wine under nitrogen protection, then securing the gas cap to the air inlet using a gas cap clamp, and connecting the air inlet pipe to the gas valve pipe using a gas pipe clamp. During the filling operation, the mobile vehicle is pushed to the oak barrel to be filled, the air inlet valve is opened, and nitrogen is slowly injected into the filling tank through the air inlet pipe, maintaining the pressure on the gauge within a certain range. As nitrogen is injected, the wine level in the filling tank drops, and the wine is injected into the oak barrel through the filling hose and filling gun. After filling is complete, the pressure relief valve is opened. In addition, the pneumatic mechanism fittings in this wine dispenser are connected by air pipe clamps, and the air cap is connected to the air inlet by an air cap clamp, facilitating installation, connection, maintenance, and replacement. The pressure relief pipe is configured as a main pressure relief pipe and branch pressure relief pipes, allowing for simultaneous pressure relief as needed, accelerating the pressure release process, and serving as a backup in case the main pressure relief pipe's pressure relief valve becomes clogged. The dispenser also includes a waste liquid outlet and a filtration mechanism. After use, the filter screen can be flipped over and secured using a locking slot by rotating the handle, then rinsed from the top for easy cleaning. The cleaning solution is then discharged through the waste liquid outlet.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This pneumatic oak barrel filling device uses nitrogen gas to increase the internal pressure, which in turn forces the wine into the oak barrel, thus reducing the wine's contact with oxygen and preventing oxidation. Simultaneously, the use of a mobile vehicle as a carrier facilitates movement, simplifies the filling process, and prevents wine waste due to hose wear. Furthermore, the wine can be filtered through a filtration system with a reversible filter for easy cleaning. Attached Figure Description
