Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine production technology, and in particular to a micro-oxygen control device for wine production. Background Technology

[0002] A wine micro-oxygen control device is a device that can replenish trace amounts of oxygen to the winemaking container at regular intervals and in precise quantities. This is used to regulate the dissolved oxygen content in the wine and ensure that the dissolved oxygen is maintained at a suitable level during the wine aging process.

[0003] A micro-oxygen control device for wine production (CN220300677U) can be referenced in existing literature. The reference describes a device that delivers micro-oxygen to the fermentation tank from multiple directions through multiple air outlets. Combined with multiple evenly distributed cross tubes, this ensures that micro-oxygen is evenly distributed in the fermentation tank, resulting in uniform dissolved oxygen content in the wine, which is beneficial for the aging of the wine.

[0004] The aforementioned literature describes a method of oxygen delivery by adding multiple branches to the gas supply pipe and using cross-shaped pipes on these branches. While this method offers a wider delivery range compared to a single pipeline, the delivery range of each branch still has limitations. It does not achieve comprehensive oxygen delivery to the fermentation tank, and the oxygen delivered to the fermentation tank does not fully contact the wine inside, resulting in low dissolved oxygen diffusion efficiency. Therefore, this paper designs a micro-oxygen control device for wine production that combines longitudinal movement and rotation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a micro-oxygen control device for wine production. This invention utilizes a first motor to drive a lead screw, which in turn causes the threaded seat to move two push rods longitudinally. This, in turn, causes the gas delivery disc to move longitudinally within the fermentation tank, expanding the delivery range. Furthermore, a second motor drives the gas delivery disc to rotate, and two swing rods deliver and stir the gas, ensuring sufficient contact between the wine and the input oxygen.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A micro-oxygen control device for wine production includes: a fermentation tank, a drive box fixed to the upper end of the fermentation tank by a mounting bracket, two longitudinally linearly moving push rods installed inside the drive box, the two push rods extending out of the bottom of the drive box and connected to a gas supply box, a second motor fixedly installed at the upper end of the gas supply box, a gas supply pipe connected to the output end of the second motor, and a one-way valve connected to the side of the gas supply pipe, through which gas enters the gas supply pipe, a gas supply plate connected to the bottom of the gas supply pipe, the gas supply plate being located inside the fermentation tank, and two second one-way valves installed on the side of the gas supply plate, the other end of each second one-way valve being connected to a swing rod.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a No. 1 motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the drive box, and a lead screw is rotatably connected inside the drive box, with one end of the lead screw fixed to the output end of the No. 1 motor.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the lead screw is externally threaded with a threaded seat, the threaded seat is slidably installed inside the drive box, and two push rods are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the threaded seat.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the upper end of the gas delivery pipe has a closed bottom opening, and a bearing is embedded and fixed at the bottom of the gas delivery box, with the gas delivery pipe fixed in the inner ring of the bearing.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an air inlet is provided on one side of the air supply box, an air inlet corrugated hose is connected to the air inlet, and a flange connector is installed at the other end of the air inlet corrugated hose.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the interior of the gas delivery plate and the swing rod are both hollowed out, and the gas delivery plate is connected to the gas delivery pipe and the interior of the swing rod.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that multiple vent holes are provided at the bottom of the swing rod.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The micro-oxygen control device for wine production drives the lead screw to rotate through the operation of motor No. 1, causing the threaded seat to move longitudinally in a straight line. This, in turn, drives the lower components to move synchronously through two push rods, enabling the gas delivery plate to continuously move longitudinally in a straight line within the fermentation tank, thus comprehensively delivering oxygen to the interior.

[0016] 2. The micro-oxygen control device for wine production drives the gas delivery pipe to rotate through the operation of motor No. 2, which in turn drives the gas delivery disc to rotate synchronously. Gas is delivered through the gas delivery pipe, gas delivery disc, and swing rods. During the delivery process, the two swing rods rotate continuously with the gas delivery disc, improving the oxygen diffusion efficiency and allowing oxygen to fully contact the wine.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 A micro-oxygen control device for wine production includes: a fermentation tank 1, which is filled with wine and other raw materials. An L-shaped mounting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the upper rear side of the fermentation tank 1. A drive box 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the mounting bracket 2. Two longitudinally linearly moving push rods 9 are installed inside the drive box 3. A gas supply box 4 is connected below the two push rods 9. A gas supply pipe 11 is rotatably connected inside the gas supply box 4. A gas supply plate 5 is connected to the bottom of the gas supply pipe 11. The gas supply plate 5 is located inside the fermentation tank 1, so that the gas supply plate 5 can perform longitudinal linear movement and rotation within the fermentation tank 1.

[0028] Specifically, drive box 3, such as Figure 3 As shown, a No. 1 motor 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the drive box 3. A lead screw 7 is rotatably connected inside the drive box 3. One end of the lead screw 7 is fixed to the No. 1 motor 6. A threaded seat 8 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw 7. The threaded seat 8 is slidably installed inside the drive box 3. Two push rods 9 are fixed on both sides below the threaded seat 8 and pass through the drive box 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the operation of motor 6 drives the lead screw 7 to rotate, causing the threaded seat 8 connected to the external thread of the lead screw 7 to move longitudinally in a straight line, which in turn drives the two push rods 9 below to move synchronously, thereby causing the air box 4 below the two push rods 9 to move longitudinally in a straight line.

[0030] Gas box 4 Figure 4 As shown, the air supply box 4 is hollow inside, and a second motor 10 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the air supply box 4. The air supply pipe 11 inside the air supply box 4 is fixed to the output end of the second motor 10.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper part of the gas pipe 11 is closed off from the lower part, and the bottom of the gas box 4 is embedded and fixed with a bearing 16. The gas pipe 11 is fixed in the inner ring of the bearing 16, which can reduce rotational friction.

[0032] Furthermore, a one-way valve 12 is connected to the side of the gas supply pipe 11, with the air inlet direction of the one-way valve 12 facing into the gas supply pipe 11.

[0033] Specifically, an air inlet 13 is provided on the side of the air supply box 4. The air inlet 13 is connected to an air inlet corrugated hose 14, and a flange connector 15 is provided at the end of the air inlet corrugated hose 14. The air inlet corrugated hose 14 is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor. The expansion and contraction characteristics of the air inlet corrugated hose 14 can cooperate with the air supply box 4 to move longitudinally in a straight line.

[0034] In this embodiment, an external air compressor injects air into the air supply box 4, and the gas enters the air supply pipe 11 through the one-way valve 12.

[0035] Gas delivery plate 5 Figure 5 As shown, one-way valves 17 are provided on both sides of the air delivery plate 5. The other end of the one-way valve 17 is connected to a swing rod 18. The air intake direction of the one-way valve 17 is towards the swing rod 18, and multiple exhaust holes 19 are provided at the bottom of the swing rod 18.

[0036] Furthermore, both the gas delivery plate 5 and the swing rod 18 have a hollow design inside. After the gas inside the gas delivery pipe 11 enters the gas delivery plate 5, it is discharged through the exhaust holes 19 at the bottom of the two swing rods 18.

[0037] Working principle: When using this utility model, the operation of motor 6 drives the lead screw 7 to rotate, causing the threaded seat 8 to move longitudinally in a straight line. This, in turn, drives the lower components to move synchronously through the two push rods 9, allowing the gas conveying plate 5 to continuously move longitudinally in a straight line within the fermentation tank 1, thus comprehensively conveying oxygen to the interior. The operation of motor 10 drives the gas conveying pipe 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the gas conveying plate 5 to rotate synchronously. Gas is conveyed through the gas conveying pipe 11, the gas conveying plate 5, and the swing rods 18. During the conveying process, the two swing rods 18 continuously rotate with the gas conveying plate 5, improving the oxygen diffusion efficiency and ensuring that oxygen can fully contact the wine.
