Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline protection technology, and more specifically, it relates to an insect-proof cover for brewing pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] In the winemaking process, pipelines are used to transport raw materials, finished products, or semi-finished wines. During periods of non-use, these pipelines need to be kept clean for future use. Because residual materials remain inside after use, directly sealing the pipe openings can lead to the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, and even corrosion and damage to the pipeline. However, leaving the pipeline open, while maintaining ventilation and dryness and reducing the chance of insects and microorganisms, can attract insects and even rodents due to residual liquid, contaminating the pipeline and hindering its reuse. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an insect-proof cover for brewing pipes, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art that when pipes are not in use, sealed storage can easily breed bacteria, while open storage can easily allow mosquitoes to enter and contaminate the pipes.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A pipe insect-proof cap for brewing is provided, comprising:
[0006] The mounting base has a through mounting channel, and the mounting base is inserted into the pipe; and
[0007] A protective net is installed in the installation channel, and the outer circumferential surface of the protective net is connected to the mounting base. The protective net is used to cover the open end of the pipe.
[0008] In one possible implementation, multiple protective nets are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the installation channel, and all of the multiple protective nets are located within the installation channel.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the mounting base is inserted into the pipe, or the pipe is inserted into the mounting channel, and the mounting base is screwed to the pipe.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the protective net is detachably connected to the mounting base, and the end face of the mounting base has an annular mounting groove that is radially connected to the mounting channel. The insect-proof cover for the brewing pipe also includes a fixing piece that is rotatably connected to the mounting base about a first axis, the first axis being parallel to the axis of the mounting channel. The protective net is disposed in the mounting groove, and the fixing piece and the mounting base clamp and fix the protective net.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the end face of the mounting base has a limiting groove and a first fastening hole located in the limiting groove. The limiting groove is radially connected to the mounting channel. The protective net includes a protective body and a limiting piece connected to the outer edge of the protective body. The limiting piece is inserted into the limiting groove and has a second fastening hole corresponding to the first fastening hole. Locking elements are inserted into the first fastening hole and the second fastening hole.
[0012] In one possible implementation, the mounting base has a snap-fit area adapted to a snap-fit block on the outer circumference of the pipe, the snap-fit area engaging with the snap-fit block.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the mounting base includes a base body and an elastic sheet disposed outside the base body. The mounting channel is opened in the base body. The elastic sheet extends axially along the base body and has a locking hole along a second path. The second path is parallel to the radial direction of the mounting channel. The locking hole forms the locking area, and a locking block is inserted into the locking hole.
[0014] In one possible implementation, the mounting base includes a base body and a buckle connected to the outer edge of the base body.

[0029] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a description of the insect-proof cover for brewing pipes. The insect-proof cover for brewing pipes includes a mounting base 1 and a protective net 2. The mounting base 1 has a through mounting channel 101 and is inserted into the pipe 4. The protective net 2 is located inside the mounting channel 101 and its outer circumference is connected to the mounting base 1. The protective net 2 is used to cover the open end of the pipe 4.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the insect-proof cover for brewing pipes provided by this utility model is plugged into the pipe 4. Because the mounting channel 101 of the mounting base 1 is equipped with a protective net 2, external air can pass through the protective net 2 into the pipe 4, maintaining a ventilated and dry state inside the pipe 4. Furthermore, the design of the protective net 2 prevents insects such as mosquitoes and rodents from entering the pipe 4, ensuring a clean interior and facilitating the reuse of the pipe 4. The insect-proof cover for brewing pipes in this utility model is plugged into the pipe 4 via the mounting base 1. This plug-in connection increases the contact area between the cover and the pipe 4, improving connection stability. It also allows for a detachable connection, enabling the mounting base 1 to be separated from the pipe 4 when needed, facilitating easy assembly and disassembly.
[0031] Optionally, the protective netting 2 can be 16-22 mesh, preferably 18-20 mesh.
[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 Multiple protective nets 2 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the installation channel 101, and all multiple protective nets 2 are located within the installation channel 101.
[0033] Multiple protective nets 2 can form a protective module, which can keep mosquitoes, rodents and ants away from the outside of the pipe 4, further improving the protection of the inside of the pipe 4.
[0034] Optionally, adjacent protective nets 2 are spaced apart.
[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The mounting base 1 is inserted into the pipe 4, or the pipe 4 is inserted into the installation channel 101, and the mounting base 1 is screwed to the pipe 4.
[0036] Mounting base 1 has an internal thread located within the mounting channel 101 and is adapted to the external thread of pipe 4. Mounting base 1 is screwed to pipe 4, and protective mesh 2 is located at the outer end of pipe 4. Alternatively, the outer circumferential surface of mounting base 1 has an external thread, and the inner wall of pipe 4 has an internal thread. Mounting base 1 is inserted into pipe 4 and screwed to pipe 4. In this embodiment, there is no need to rely on external connecting part 1031. The screwed connection is achieved by the adaptation of the threads of mounting base 1 and pipe 4. This not only makes disassembly and assembly convenient and eliminates the need to drill holes in pipe 4, but also increases the contact area between mounting base 1 and pipe 4, improving the firmness of the connection.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The protective net 2 is detachably connected to the mounting base 1. The end face of the mounting base 1 is provided with an annular mounting groove, which is radially connected to the mounting channel 101. The insect-proof cover for the brewing pipe also includes a fixing piece 3 that is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1 around a first axis. The first axis is parallel to the axis of the mounting channel 101. The protective net 2 is located in the mounting groove, and the fixing piece 3 and the mounting base 1 clamp and fix the protective net 2.
[0038] In this embodiment, the protective net 2 is fixed by clamping it axially with the fixing plate 3 and the mounting base 1. Since the protective net 2 and the mounting base 1 are detachably connected, the protective net 2 can be replaced individually after long-term use and damage, eliminating the need to replace the entire insect-proof cover for the brewing pipeline, thus reducing maintenance costs. During installation, the fixing plate 3 is rotated to the side opposite to the mounting groove, placing the protective net 2 inside the groove. Then, the fixing plate 3 is rotated to the top of the protective net 2, where the fixing plate 3 and the mounting base 1 clamp the protective net 2, thus fixing it in place.
[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 The end face of the mounting base 1 is provided with a limiting groove 105 and a first fastening hole 106 located in the limiting groove 105. The limiting groove 105 is radially connected to the mounting channel 101. The protective net 2 includes a protective body and a limiting piece connected to the outer edge of the protective body. The limiting piece is inserted into the limiting groove 105 and is provided with a second fastening hole corresponding to the first fastening hole 106. Locking elements are inserted into the first fastening hole 106 and the second fastening hole.
[0040] The limiting piece is inserted into the limiting groove 105, while the protective body is inserted into the installation channel 101. Locking elements are inserted into the first fastening hole 106 and the second fastening hole to connect the protective body to the mounting base 1. The limiting groove 105 and the limiting piece are inserted and fitted together to limit the protective net 2 in the circumferential direction, and then fixed by the locking elements.
[0041] Optionally, the locking element is a threaded element, and the first fastening hole 106 is a threaded hole.
[0042] Optionally, the mounting base 1 has multiple limiting grooves 105, which are distributed in a ring at intervals, and the limiting pieces are set one-to-one with the limiting grooves 105.
[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 7 The mounting base 1 has a snap-fit area that is adapted to the snap-fit block on the outer circumference of the pipe 4, and the snap-fit area engages with the snap-fit block.
[0044] After the mounting base 1 is inserted into the pipe 4, it is then secured by a locking block and a locking area. This solution in this embodiment increases the firmness and stability of the connection between the mounting base 1 and the pipe 4, preventing the mounting base 1 from separating from the pipe 4 under the action of airflow or external force.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The mounting base 1 includes a base body 102 and an elastic piece 104 disposed outside the base body 102. The mounting channel 101 is opened in the base body 102. The elastic piece 104 extends along the axial direction of the base body 102 and has a locking hole 1041 along a second path. The second path is parallel to the radial direction of the mounting channel 101. The locking hole 1041 forms a locking area, and the locking block is inserted into the locking hole 1041.
[0046] During installation, the base 102 is inserted into the pipe 4, applying an outward elastic force to the elastic plate 104. After the locking blocks align, the force applied to the elastic plate 104 is stopped, and the locking blocks are inserted into the locking holes 1041, thus connecting the mounting base 1 and the pipe 4. In this embodiment, the elastic force of the elastic plate 104 is used to achieve the insertion of the locking blocks into the locking holes 1041, making assembly and disassembly convenient.
[0047] Optionally, multiple elastic sheets 104 are provided, and the multiple elastic sheets 104 are respectively connected to the outer peripheral surface of the seat 102.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 6The mounting base 1 includes a base body 102 and a buckle 103 connected to the outer edge of the base body 102. The mounting channel 101 is opened in the base body 102. The base body 102 is inserted into the pipe 4. The buckle 103 includes a connecting part 1031 and a limiting part 1032 connected to the outside of the connecting part 1031. The connecting part 1031 is connected to the base body 102. The limiting part 1032 is an arc-shaped structure extending circumferentially along the base body 102. The limiting part 1032 has an arc-shaped slot 1034. The slot 1034 forms a snap-fit area and snaps into the snap-fit block.
[0049] During installation, the seat 102 is first inserted into the pipe 4, and then the seat 102 is rotated to insert the locking block into the locking groove 1034, thereby achieving the locking engagement between the locking block and the locking groove 1034. The buckle 103 limits the locking block radially and axially, respectively, fixing the mounting base 1 to the pipe 4. This embodiment uses rotation to achieve the locking engagement between the buckle 103 and the locking block, which allows for one-handed installation and removal, making the operation more convenient.
[0050] Specifically, the longitudinal section of the limiting part 1032 is "L" shaped, including a guide piece connected to the connecting part 1031 and a support piece provided at the bottom of the guide piece. The connecting part 1031, the guide piece and the support piece surround and form a slot 1034.
[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The buckle 103 also includes a locking part 1033 connected circumferentially to the end face of the limiting part 1032, and the locking part 1033 abuts against the buckle block.
[0052] The locking part 1033 abuts against the locking block in the circumferential direction, thereby limiting the mounting base 1 in the axial direction and preventing the locking block from separating from the slot 1034 when the mounting base 1 rotates at an excessive angle.
[0053] In some embodiments, not shown in the figures, the mounting base 1 is fitted with a sealing ring, or the mounting channel 101 is fitted with a sealing ring, and the sealing ring is interference-fitted with the pipe 4.
[0054] The sealing ring is interference-fitted with the pipe 4, which increases the sealing between the seat 102 and the pipe 4 and reduces the chance of the mounting seat 1 separating from the pipe 4.
[0055] Optionally, the sealing ring is a rubber component.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
