Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine brewing equipment technology, and in particular to a wine blending and conveying pipeline. Background Technology

[0002] Wine blending is a crucial step in the production process, directly impacting the flavor and quality stability of the final product. Currently, the industry commonly uses stainless steel piping systems to transport the wine, with flow controlled by valves and pumps. With the increasing prevalence of automation technology, the blending process is gradually shifting from manual operation to computer control, but this places higher demands on the piping system's sealing, corrosion resistance, and flow accuracy. In recent years, food-grade polymer materials (such as PTFE) have begun to be used for pipe linings, but their insufficient mechanical strength has limited their widespread adoption.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN212387344U, which discloses a conveying device for wine production. The device includes a conveying cylinder with support feet connected to both sides of its bottom. Threaded posts are connected to the bottom of each support foot, and support pads are fixedly installed at the bottom of the threaded posts. A feed hopper is connected to one end of the top of the conveying cylinder, and a discharge hopper is connected to the other end of its bottom. A conveying motor is fixedly installed at one end of the conveying cylinder, and a rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the motor. The rotating shaft extends into the interior of the conveying cylinder, and a bearing seat connects the rotating shaft to the conveying cylinder. Spiral blades are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft. An adjustment mechanism is connected inside the feed hopper. This invention provides a conveying device for wine production that allows for convenient adjustment of the feed speed of the feed hopper and facilitates the reception of auxiliary tools at different locations.

[0004] However, in actual use, when wine flows in the delivery pipe, the flow rate is uneven because the pipe diameter remains the same but the direction changes at the bend. The flow rate is slower near the inside of the bend and faster on the outside. This difference in flow rate can cause some components of the wine, such as sugars and proteins, to easily deposit in the slower-flowing areas, forming wine residue. This risk of wine residue and bacterial growth can also lead to cross-contamination. Utility Model Content

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a wine blending and conveying pipeline, including a tank 1, a pressure measuring section 17 connected to the outer wall of the tank 1, a main pipeline 2 connected to the outer wall of the pressure measuring section 17, a filter pipe 3 connected to the outer wall of the main pipeline 2, an elbow 4 connected to the outer wall of the filter pipe 3, a sliding frame 5 provided inside the elbow 4, a turbulence mechanism 6 provided inside the sliding frame 5, a connecting component 7 provided on the outer wall of the elbow 4, and the filter pipe 3 and the elbow 4 connected by the connecting component 7;

[0043] Specifically, the tank 1 stores wine. The wine first passes through the pressure testing section 17, then through the main pipe 2, which is made of 316L stainless steel seamless pipe, and then through the filter pipe 3 for filtration. After that, it flows into the elbow 4. Sliding brackets 5 are installed at both ends of the elbow 4. The sliding brackets 5 can slide inside the elbow 4 and thus embed themselves inside the elbow 4.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 The connecting assembly 7 includes a flange 701, the outer wall of which is disposed on the outer wall of the filter pipe 3 and the elbow 4, and a sealing gasket 702 is fixedly connected inside the flange 701.

[0045] Specifically, flange 701 uses a DN50 standard flange, and flanges 701 on both sides can be fixedly connected by bolts, thereby connecting filter pipe 3 to elbow 4. Gasket 702 can ensure the seal at the connection of flange 701.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The turbulence mechanism 6 includes a bent shaft 601, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding frame 5. A spiral guide vane 602 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bent shaft 601. Both ends of the spiral guide vane 602 are fixedly connected to threaded heads 603. Nuts 604 are provided on the outer wall of the threaded heads 603.

[0047] Specifically, when using the spiral guide vane 602, the sliding bracket 5 can be inserted through the outer wall of the bent shaft 601, and the bent shaft 601 and the sliding bracket 5 can be fixedly connected by the threaded head 603 and the nut 604. When the wine passes through the bend 4, the spiral guide vane 602 can guide the flow of the wine.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, another structure is provided in the above embodiment: the turbulence mechanism 6 includes a second bent shaft 605, the outer wall of the second bent shaft 605 is slidably connected to the inside of the first sliding frame 5, the outer wall of the second bent shaft 605 is provided with a grid plate 606, both ends of the second bent shaft 605 are fixedly connected with a threaded head 607, and the outer wall of the threaded head 607 is provided with a nut 608.

[0050] Specifically, when using the grid plate 606, the sliding frame 5 passes through the bent shaft 605, and the bent shaft 605 is fixed inside the sliding frame 5 with the threaded head 607 and the nut 608. This can further improve the turbulence effect, but increases the cost.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The filter tube 3 is slidably connected to a sliding frame 8, and the sliding frame 8 is slidably connected to a pin 9. The outer wall of the pin 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the filter tube 3, and the outer wall of the pin 9 is fixedly connected to a tension spring 10. The outer wall of the tension spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the filter tube 3. The outer wall of the sliding frame 8 is fixedly connected to a filter plate 11, and the filter plate 11 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 12. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 12 is fixedly connected to a scraper 13 and an impeller 14.

[0052] Specifically, the sliding frame 2 8 can be installed inside the filter tube 3. When the pin 9 is inserted into the sliding frame 2 8, the sliding frame 2 8 can be fixed inside the filter tube 3. When the sliding frame 2 8 needs to be disassembled, the pin 9 can be pulled out. When the wine is being transported, it will drive the impeller 14 to rotate. The impeller 14 drives the scraper 13 to rotate through the rotating shaft 12. The scraper 13 rotates on the outer wall of the filter plate 11, which can clean the filter plate 11.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 The outer walls of the main pipe 2 and the filter pipe 3 are provided with a heating layer 15, and the interior of the heating layer 15 is provided with an inlet and outlet 16.

[0054] Specifically, a heating layer 15 is added to the outer wall of the main pipe 2 and the filter pipe 3. The viscosity of the wine is adjusted by temperature control of ±0.5℃ to stabilize the flow rate, but the system complexity is significantly increased.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 Flange 2 18 is installed on the outer wall of pressure measuring section 17, tank 1 and main pipeline 2. Sealing gasket 2 19 is installed inside flange 2 18. Clamp 20 is installed on the outer wall of flange 2 18. Pressure monitor 21 is installed inside pressure measuring section 17.

[0056] Specifically, the pressure testing section 17, tank 1, and main pipeline 2 are connected by flange 2 18. Gasket 2 19 ensures sealing, and clamp 20 facilitates the disassembly of flange 2 18 for inspection. When the seal fails, the red warning ring of pressure monitor 21 pops out.

[0057] Working principle: When using this equipment, the pressure measuring section 17 is connected to the outlet of the mixing tank through flange 18 and clamp 20. After tightening the bolts, the pressure measuring section 17 detects the pressure through clamp 20. Then, the pressure measuring section 17 is connected to the main pipeline 2 through flange 18 and clamp 20. The main pipeline 2 is connected to the filter pipe 3 through a flange. The main pipeline 2 and the filter pipe 3 are heated through the heating layer 15.

[0058] When filter plate 11 needs to be installed, sliding frame 2 8 can be slid into the interior of filter tube 3. Sliding frame 2 8 presses pin 9 to slide. Pin 9 first retracts into the interior of filter tube 3, and then spring 10 rebounds to drive pin 9 to insert into the interior of sliding frame 2 8, completing the installation. Filter plate 11 filters impurities. When the wine flows, it will drive impeller 14 to rotate. Impeller 14 drives scraper 13 to rotate. Scraper 13 rotates on the outer wall of filter plate 11, which can prevent filter plate 11 from clogging.

[0059] Once the wine enters the bend 4, a bend shaft 601 or a bend shaft 605 can be installed, along with a spiral guide vane 602 or a mesh plate 606, to guide the flow of the wine. This can prevent wine from remaining inside the bend 4, reduce the risk of cross-contamination, and improve the cleaning speed.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
