Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment technology, specifically to an automatic extraction device for wine from jars. Background Technology

[0002] Earthenware jars are currently the most common and widely used containers for storing baijiu (Chinese white liquor). However, with increasing production, smaller earthenware jars are gradually being phased out and replaced by larger ones. When transferring baijiu from these jars, the large size of the jars makes it difficult to remove all the liquor using current transfer techniques. Furthermore, the large size and weight of the jars make it inconvenient to move them and empty any remaining liquor.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221525096U discloses a device for drying residual wine at the bottom of a wine jar, including a motor connected to a pump body. The pump body is provided with an outlet, an inlet, and a drain pipe. The outlet is connected to an outlet pipe, which is connected to a wine receiving barrel. The inlet is connected to an inlet pipe, which is detachably connected to a stainless steel straight pipe. The end of the stainless steel straight pipe is provided with a check valve.

[0004] The aforementioned patent can achieve the suction of wine from the jar, but when the wine level reaches the bottom of the jar, and the pipe opening cannot be fully immersed in the wine, air will enter the pipe opening and the wine pump chamber, causing the impeller to spin idly, and the wine will not be able to enter the pipe. Furthermore, the patent uses a straight stainless steel pipe, but the stainless steel pipe opening is too hard and can easily damage the inner wall of the jar. In addition, there are some dead corners and uneven areas at the bottom of the jar, and the stainless steel pipe opening is cut at an angle, resulting in low efficiency when suctioning residual wine from the bottom of the jar. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic wine extraction device for jars, which improves the extraction efficiency of residual wine at the bottom of the jar.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is an automatic wine extraction device for jars, including a conveying pipe. One end of the conveying pipe is connected to the inlet of an explosion-proof wine pump, and the outlet of the explosion-proof wine pump is connected to a wine outlet pipe. The other end of the conveying pipe is coaxially provided with a flared nozzle. The bottom end of the flared nozzle is provided with flexible serrated blades along its circumference, and a wine suction channel is formed between two adjacent serrated blades. A one-way valve is provided on the conveying pipe, and the explosion-proof wine pump is communicatively connected to the control system.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a vacuum pump and a collection tank. The outlet of the vacuum pump is connected to the inlet of the collection tank through an output pipe. A delivery pipe is provided between the one-way valve and the explosion-proof wine pump. One end of the delivery pipe is connected to the delivery pipe and the other end is connected to the inlet of the vacuum pump. The outlet of the collection tank is connected to the inlet of the explosion-proof wine pump through an outlet pipe. The vacuum pump is communicatively connected to the control system.

[0008] Furthermore, a first interface is formed between the infusion tube and the delivery tube. A flow sensor and a first electric valve are installed on the delivery tube between the first interface and the explosion-proof alcohol pump. A second electric valve is installed on the infusion tube, and a third electric valve is installed on the outlet tube. The first electric valve, the second electric valve, the third electric valve, and the flow sensor are all communicatively connected to the control system.

[0009] Furthermore, the first electric valve, the flow sensor, and the check valve are arranged sequentially on the delivery pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an audible and visual alarm and a display screen, both of which are communicatively connected to the control system.

[0011] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor is installed inside the collection tank, and the liquid level sensor is communicatively connected to the control system.

[0012] Furthermore, a circulation pipe is provided between the collection tank and the vacuum pump.

[0013] Furthermore, the saw blade is made of silicone.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by setting a funnel-shaped spout and serrated blades, the absorption efficiency of residual wine at the bottom of the jar can be effectively improved. The use of flexible serrated blades avoids damage to the inner wall of the jar, and the flexible material allows the serrated blades to deform to adapt to the dead corners and uneven areas at the bottom of the jar, thus improving absorption efficiency.

[0015] By setting up a control system that communicates with the explosion-proof wine pump, vacuum pump, first electric valve, second electric valve, third electric valve, and flow sensor, the system adjusts the working state of the explosion-proof wine pump and vacuum pump according to the flow rate of the wine in the delivery pipe detected by the flow sensor. This allows for automatic switching between the normal wine extraction state and the state of extracting residual wine from the bottom of the jar, saving labor and preventing secondary contamination of the wine.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic wine extraction device for jars of this utility model includes a conveying pipe 1. One end of the conveying pipe 1 is connected to the inlet of an explosion-proof wine pump 2, and the outlet of the explosion-proof wine pump 2 is connected to a wine outlet pipe 3. The other end of the conveying pipe 1 is coaxially provided with a bell mouth 4. The bottom end of the bell mouth 4 is provided with flexible serrated blades 5 along its circumference. A wine suction channel 6 is formed between two adjacent serrated blades 5. A one-way valve 7 is provided on the conveying pipe 1. The explosion-proof wine pump 2 is communicatively connected to the control system 17.

[0021] The system comprises a stainless steel conveying pipe 1, an explosion-proof wine pump 2 to draw out the wine from the earthenware jar, and then discharge it through the outlet pipe 3. The bell-shaped nozzle 4 is also made of stainless steel and can be integrally formed with or welded to the conveying pipe 1. The bell-shaped nozzle 4 is coaxially aligned with the end of the conveying pipe 1, and the diameter of the end of the bell-shaped nozzle 4 connected to the conveying pipe 1 is smaller than the diameter of the other end. The design of the bell-shaped nozzle 4 allows the wine to enter the conveying pipe 1 more smoothly. The serrated blades 5 are triangular in shape and evenly arranged around the circumference of the bell-shaped nozzle 4. The serrated blades 5 can be made of latex or a plasticizer-free polymer material, and can be bonded to the bell-shaped nozzle 4, or a latex ring can be fitted onto the bell-shaped nozzle 4 to integrally form the serrated blades 5 with the latex ring. The serrated blades 5 effectively prevent air from entering the pipe, especially when the wine level is near the bottom of the jar, adapting to the unevenness of the jar's bottom and ensuring that the wine is completely drawn out. The wine suction channel 6 is connected to the inner cavity of the bell mouth 4, allowing the wine to enter the delivery pipe 1 through the bell mouth 4; the one-way valve 7 is used to prevent the sucked wine from flowing back into the earthenware jar; the control system 17 can control the opening or closing of the explosion-proof wine pump 2 to achieve automatic control.

[0022] The advantage of the explosion-proof wine pump 2 is its strong ability to extract and transport wine when there is no air in the pump chamber. However, when air enters the pump chamber, the pump impeller will spin dry, preventing it from drawing wine, and dry running will damage the explosion-proof wine pump 2. Further details can be found in the documentation. Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the system also includes a vacuum pump 8 and a collection tank 9. The outlet of the vacuum pump 8 is connected to the inlet of the collection tank 9 via an output pipe 10. A delivery pipe 11 is provided between the one-way valve 7 and the explosion-proof wine pump 2. One end of the delivery pipe 11 is connected to the delivery pipe 1, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the vacuum pump 8. The outlet of the collection tank 9 is connected to the inlet of the explosion-proof wine pump 2 via a liquid outlet pipe 12. When the wine level in the earthenware jar is low, the explosion-proof wine pump 2 is turned off, and the vacuum pump 8 is turned on. The vacuum pump 8 can extract the gas-liquid mixture. The output pipe 10, delivery pipe 11, and liquid outlet pipe 12 are all stainless steel pipes. The function of the vacuum pump 8 is to provide negative pressure to ensure that the remaining wine in the earthenware jar can be completely extracted into the collection tank 9. Then, the explosion-proof wine pump 2 is turned on to extract the wine in the collection tank 9 through the liquid outlet pipe 12, reducing the waste of wine. The control system 17 can control the opening and closing of the vacuum pump 8 to achieve automated control.

[0023] To better understand the flow rate of the liquid in delivery pipe 1, and to achieve intelligent control, further refer to... Figure 1 A first interface is formed between the infusion tube 11 and the delivery tube 1. A flow sensor 13 and a first electric valve 14 are installed on the delivery tube 1 between the first interface and the explosion-proof wine pump 2. A second electric valve 15 is installed on the infusion tube 11, and a third electric valve 16 is installed on the outlet tube 12. The first electric valve 14, the second electric valve 15, the third electric valve 16, and the flow sensor 13 are all communicatively connected to the control system 17. The flow sensor 13 is used to monitor the flow rate of the wine in the delivery tube 1 in real time. When the flow rate decreases, it means that air has entered the delivery tube 1, and the wine in the earthenware jar is about to be completely extracted. The control system 17 automatically closes the first electric valve 14 and opens the second electric valve 15 and the third electric valve 16 to ensure that the remaining wine at the bottom of the jar is completely extracted.

[0024] When the liquid in the delivery pipe 1 passes through the first electric valve 14 and then the flow sensor 13, the flow sensor 13 detects a decrease in the liquid flow rate in the delivery pipe 1 and closes the first electric valve 14, which would cause air to enter the explosion-proof liquid pump 2. Further, see... Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the first electric valve 14, the flow sensor 13, and the one-way valve 7 are arranged sequentially on the delivery pipe 1.

[0025] To better inform staff about the effects of alcohol, further details can be found here. Figure 1It also includes an audible and visual alarm 18 and a display screen 19, both of which are communicatively connected to the control system 17. When the flow rate in the flow sensor 13 decreases, it means that air has entered the delivery pipe 1, and the wine in the earthenware jar is about to be completely extracted. The audible and visual alarm 18 can be used to notify the staff to replace the earthenware jar, and the relevant information can be displayed on the display screen 19 to remind the operator to handle the situation in time.

[0026] To further understand the liquid level in collection tank 9 in real time, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The collection tank 9 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 20, which is communicatively connected to the control system 17. The real-time liquid level information in the collection tank 9 can be displayed on the display screen 19. When the liquid level reaches the set value, the control system 17 will automatically stop the vacuum pump 8 or control the third electric valve to open and start the explosion-proof wine pump 2 to prevent the wine in the collection tank 9 from overflowing.

[0027] Further, see Figure 1 A circulation pipe 21 is provided between the collection tank 9 and the vacuum pump 8. The function of the circulation pipe 21 is to ensure that the vacuum pump 8 can maintain a stable negative pressure during operation, so as to avoid affecting the extraction efficiency of the wine due to pressure fluctuations.

[0028] Furthermore, the serrated blade 5 is made of silicone. Silicone has good flexibility and wear resistance, allowing it to adapt to the unevenness of the bottom of the jar, avoiding damage to the inner wall of the jar, and simultaneously improving suction efficiency.

[0029] The specific operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] The control system 17 first opens the first electric valve 14 and the second electric valve 15, and starts the vacuum pump 8. The vacuum pump 8 works for 5 to 10 seconds to remove the air from the delivery pipe 1, the explosion-proof wine pump 2, and the infusion pipe 11. At the same time, the wine in the ceramic jar is sucked into the delivery pipe 1 and the explosion-proof wine pump 2. At this time, the vacuum pump 8 is turned off, and the explosion-proof wine pump 2 is started. The wine flows out from the wine outlet pipe 3 through the delivery pipe 1 and the explosion-proof wine pump 2 in sequence.

[0031] When the wine is drawn to the bottom of the earthenware jar, a large amount of air will enter the delivery pipe 1. The flow sensor 13 detects a decrease in the flow rate in the delivery pipe 1, and the control system 17 immediately stops the explosion-proof wine pump 2 and closes the first electric valve 14. At the same time, the vacuum pump 8 is turned on. The vacuum pump 8 works for 10 to 60 seconds to completely remove the residual wine from the bottom of the earthenware jar. The mixture of residual wine and air extracted by the vacuum pump 8 is temporarily stored in the collection tank 9 (the collection tank 9 is installed at a higher position than the explosion-proof wine pump 2). After the air is automatically expelled, the control system 17 opens the third electric valve 16 and starts the explosion-proof wine pump 2. The wine in the collection tank 9 flows out from the wine outlet pipe 3 through the liquid outlet pipe 12 and the explosion-proof wine pump 2.

[0032] This process enables fully automated extraction and transportation of the wine from the ceramic jars, saving labor and preventing secondary contamination of the wine.

[0033] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
