Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wine production equipment, specifically to a wine production auxiliary material addition device. Background Technology

[0002] Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fresh grapes through fermentation. It has an appealing color, with various shades including red and white, and a rich and varied taste, ranging from dry to sweet, from refreshing to full-bodied, each with its own unique characteristics. Wine is rich in many beneficial components, such as polyphenols, and moderate consumption is good for human health. It is not only a beverage but also an expression of culture and art. It is often paired with food to enhance the enjoyment of the meal. Globally, wine is loved by consumers and has become an important choice for social occasions, celebrations, and everyday drinking.

[0003] During the fermentation process of winemaking, various auxiliary materials need to be added, such as yeast, acidity regulators, clarifying agents, and sugar. These materials need to be stirred and mixed into the solid-liquid mixture of grapes. Since most of these auxiliary materials are in granular or powdery form, they easily clump together upon contact with moisture, hindering rapid and thorough mixing. Therefore, we propose a device for adding auxiliary materials during winemaking. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a winemaking auxiliary material addition device. By setting an air pump, air can be drawn from inside the fermentation tank and blown into the feeding cylinder. Particles or powdered auxiliary materials can be pushed out from the leakage hole by the grinding blocks, and the airflow blown in also blows out from the leakage hole, spreading the particles or powdered auxiliary materials evenly into the solid-liquid mixed grape raw materials. This avoids the auxiliary materials from accumulating and clumping due to contact with moisture, and facilitates rapid and thorough mixing, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wine-making auxiliary material addition device, comprising a fermentation tank and a stirring rod, the stirring rod being vertically installed inside the fermentation tank at its lower part, and the stirring rod being drivenly connected to a first motor installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank; the outer ring of the fermentation tank is vertically supported by support legs; a feeding cylinder is provided at the middle position of the surface of the fermentation tank; a hopper communicating with the feeding cylinder is provided inside the fermentation tank below the feeding cylinder; a rotating rod is vertically rotatably installed inside the feeding cylinder, the rotating rod being drivenly connected to a second motor installed on the surface of the feeding cylinder; a rotating ball placed inside the hopper is drivenly fixed at the bottom of the rotating rod; grinding blocks are uniformly fixed on the bottom surface of the rotating ball; and multiple leakage holes are uniformly opened on the surface of the hopper; a feeding hopper communicating with the inside of the feeding cylinder is connected to the upper side of the feeding cylinder; a sealing cap is connected to the feeding hopper by screwing; an air pump is installed on the surface of the fermentation tank on the side of the feeding cylinder; the inlet of the air pump is connected to the upper interior of the fermentation tank through an air extraction pipe, and the outlet of the air pump is connected to the upper interior of the feeding cylinder through an air extraction pipe.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the grape raw material is first put into the fermentation tank, and the auxiliary material granules or powders are added into the feed cylinder. After the feed cylinder is sealed, the rotating ball and grinding block are driven to rotate. At the same time, the air pump draws gas from the inside of the fermentation tank and fills the feed cylinder. The powder granules or powders leak out from the leakage hole, and the airflow also blows out from the same point, which can blow the granules or powders evenly into the solid-liquid mixed grape raw material.

[0007] Optionally, the outer ring of the hopper is fixed with a ring cover, which is a cone shape that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the blown powder or granular excipients can be blocked to a certain extent, preventing the powder or granular excipients from spreading outward too much and splashing onto the inner wall of the fermentation tank above.

[0009] Optionally, the fermenter has vertically arranged discharge ports on both sides of its bottom that communicate with its interior, and screw caps are screwed onto the discharge ports.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the raw materials after fermentation can be discharged from the outlet.

[0011] Optionally, the inlet of the air pump is connected to the upper interior of the fermenter via an air extraction pipe.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the gas pump can extract gas from inside the fermenter.

[0013] Optionally, the fermenter has a feeding port on its side surface that communicates with the inside of the fermenter, and a sealing cap is screwed onto the feeding port.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the crushed grape raw material is added into the fermentation tank from the feed inlet.

[0015] Optionally, the height of the middle part of the bottom of the fermentation tank is greater than the height of its outer ring, and the stirring rod is installed at a high position at the bottom of the fermentation tank.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the raw materials can be easily guided to flow to the outer ring and can be smoothly discharged from the outlet.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of this application are as follows:

[0018] 1. The technical solution of this application is to install a sealable feed cylinder at the top of the fermentation tank, which contains a rotating ball with grinding blocks that can be driven to rotate. At the same time, an air pump is installed to draw air from inside the fermentation tank and blow it into the feed cylinder. The granular or powdered auxiliary materials can be pushed out from the leakage hole by the grinding blocks, and the airflow blown in also blows out from the leakage hole to disperse the granular or powdered auxiliary materials and make them fall evenly into the solid-liquid mixed grape raw materials. This avoids the auxiliary materials from accumulating and clumping together due to contact with moisture, and is conducive to quickly and thoroughly stirring and mixing them.

[0019] 2. The technical solution of this application has a conical ring fixed around the outer ring of the hopper, which has a certain blocking effect on the blown powder or granular excipients, and prevents the powder or granular excipients from spreading outward too much and splashing onto the inner wall of the fermentation tank above.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a wine-making auxiliary material addition device, which is similar to the prior art in that it includes a fermentation tank 1 and a stirring rod 12. The outer ring of the fermentation tank 1 is vertically supported by legs 11, and multiple legs 11 are provided. The fermentation tank 1 is supported on the ground by multiple legs 11 of the same height. Other support structures can also be used for alignment and support. The stirring rod 12 is vertically installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, and the stirring rod 12 is connected to a first motor 121 installed at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1. The raw materials inside the fermentation tank 1 can be stirred by the stirring rod 12, and the added auxiliary materials can also be uniformly mixed under the stirring action of the stirring rod 12.

[0026] In order to achieve the purpose of adding crushed grape raw materials into the fermentation tank 1, a feeding port 14 communicating with the inside of the fermentation tank 1 is provided on the side surface of the fermentation tank 1. The crushed grape raw materials can be added from the feeding port 14. If a sealed environment is required during the fermentation process, a sealing cap 5 can be screwed onto the feeding port 14.

[0027] Both sides of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 are vertically provided with discharge ports 13 that communicate with the inside. The discharge ports 13 are screwed with screw caps 131. After fermentation, the screw caps 131 can be unscrewed, and the stirring rod 12 continues to stir the raw materials so that they are discharged from the discharge ports 13. In order to ensure smooth discharge of the raw materials, the middle height of the bottom of the fermentation tank 1 is greater than the height of its outer ring. The stirring rod 12 is installed at a high position at the bottom of the fermentation tank 1, so that the raw materials are easily guided to the outer ring and thus discharged smoothly from the discharge ports 13.

[0028] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application makes the following improvements: a feed cylinder 2 is provided at the middle position of the surface of the fermentation tank 1, and a discharge hopper 21 communicating with the feed cylinder 2 is provided inside the fermentation tank 1 below the feed cylinder 2. A feed hopper 23 communicating with the inside of the feed cylinder 2 is connected to the upper side of the feed cylinder 2. Particles or powders of auxiliary materials can be added from the feed hopper 23 into the feed cylinder 2 and the discharge hopper 21. Due to the frictional force between the particles or powders, the particles or powders of auxiliary materials accumulate in the feed cylinder 2 and the bottom discharge hopper 21. Then, a sealing cover 5 is connected to the feed hopper 23 by screwing.

[0029] In addition, a rotating rod 3 is vertically rotatably installed inside the feed cylinder 2. The rotating rod 3 is connected to a second motor 22 mounted on the surface of the feed cylinder 2. A rotating ball 31 placed inside the feeding hopper 21 is fixed at the bottom of the rotating rod 3. Grinding blocks 311 are evenly fixed on the bottom surface of the rotating ball 31, and multiple leakage holes 211 are evenly opened on the surface of the feeding hopper 21. At the same time, an air pump 4 is installed on the surface of the fermentation tank 1 on the side of the feed cylinder 2. The outlet of the air pump 4 is connected to the inside of the upper side of the feed cylinder 2 through an air extraction pipe 41. When adding auxiliary materials, the second motor 22 is started. The rotating rod 3 and the rotating ball 31 rotate, and the grinding block 311 interacts with the feeding hopper 21, pushing the particles or powder apart and falling downward from the discharge hole 211. At the same time, the air pump 4 is activated, so that the airflow is blown into the feeding cylinder 2 through the air blowing pipe 42. The airflow blows downward and also blows into the fermentation tank 1 from the discharge hole 211. This helps to blow the particles or powdered auxiliary materials into the fermentation tank 1, so that they are dispersed from the evenly distributed discharge holes 211 and fall into the grape raw materials. Then they can be stirred by the stirring rod 12 to achieve the purpose of rapid and efficient mixing.

[0030] Since a sealed environment is required inside the fermentation tank 1 during the fermentation process, the inlet of the air pump 4 is connected to the upper interior of the fermentation tank 1 through the air extraction pipe 41, so that the air pump 4 can draw gas from inside the fermentation tank 1. The feed hopper 23 and the feeding port 14 are both sealed by the sealing cover 5 to prevent outside air from entering. In order to prevent powder inside the fermentation tank 1 from being drawn into the air extraction pipe 41, a filter screen or filter needs to be installed at the end of the air extraction pipe 41 connected to the interior of the fermentation tank 1.

[0031] Finally, a ring cover 212 is fixed around the outer ring of the hopper 21. The ring cover 212 is a cone shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. It has a certain blocking effect on the blown powder or granular auxiliary materials, preventing the powder or granular auxiliary materials from spreading outward too much and splashing onto the inner wall of the fermentation tank 1 above.

[0032] In operation, the first motor 121, the second single motor, and the air pump 4 are all connected to the control equipment and powered on. The sealing caps 5 on the feeding port 14 and the feed hopper 23 are unscrewed. The crushed grape raw material is then fed into the fermentation tank 1 through the feeding port 14. The sealing caps 5 are then screwed back onto the feeding port 14. The auxiliary material granules or powder to be added are then fed into the feed cylinder 2 through the feed hopper 23. Due to the friction between the granules or powder, the auxiliary material accumulates in the feed cylinder 2. The sealing caps 5 are then screwed back onto the feed hopper 23 to seal it. The first motor 121 is then started to drive the stirring rod 12 to agitate the grape raw material inside the fermentation tank 1. Simultaneously, the second motor 22 is started to drive the rotating rod 3 and the rotating ball 31 to rotate. When the 31 rotates, the driving grinding block 311 also rotates together, interacting with the feeding hopper 21 to push the particles or powder apart and fall downward from the discharge hole 211. During this process, the air pump 4 is also started at the same time. After drawing air from the inside of the fermentation tank 1 through the air extraction pipe 41, the air is blown into the feeding cylinder 2 through the air blowing pipe 42. The airflow blows downward and also blows into the fermentation tank 1 through the discharge hole 211, which helps to blow the particles or powdered auxiliary materials into the fermentation tank 1, so that they are dispersed from the evenly distributed discharge holes 211 and fall into the grape raw materials. Then, they can be stirred by the stirring rod 12 to achieve the purpose of rapid and efficient mixing. After fermentation is completed, the screw cap 131 on the discharge port 13 can be unscrewed, and the raw materials are discharged from the discharge port 13 under the action of stirring rod 12.
