Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of brewing technology, and in particular to a spraying device. Background Technology

[0002] In the brewing process, fresh cold water is added to the red grains via a spray system to form a "post-fermentation water" system. This post-fermentation water helps to cool the grains, preventing them from clumping, and it is also the primary source of water for microbial growth and reproduction. However, traditional spray systems are prone to clogging by residual red grains, debris, and scale, which affects the yield and quality of the wine, reduces the lifespan and safety of the spray system, and increases maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] One technical problem addressed by this application is how to improve the service life and safety of the spraying device, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure the yield and quality of the wine.

[0004] A spraying device includes a filtration mechanism, the filtration mechanism comprising:

[0005] The water inlet unit has a water inlet channel;

[0006] A filtration unit includes a housing and a filter element. The housing forms a cavity and is connected to the water inlet unit. The filter element is disposed at the communication point between the cavity and the water inlet channel.

[0007] A water outlet unit is connected to the outer shell, and the water outlet unit has a water outlet channel that communicates with the accommodating cavity.

[0008] In one embodiment, the water inlet unit and the water outlet unit are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the housing.

[0009] In one embodiment, the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel are coaxially arranged.

[0010] In one embodiment, the water outlet unit includes a water outlet pipe connected to the housing, the water outlet pipe forming at least a portion of the water outlet channel, the water outlet pipe having a first end connected to the housing and a second end away from the housing, the outer diameter of the water outlet pipe decreasing from the first end to the second end.

[0011] In one embodiment, the outlet pipe is tapered.

[0012] In one embodiment, the water outlet unit further includes a water outlet connector, which is connected to the second end of the water outlet pipe. The water outlet pipe and the water outlet connector together form the water outlet channel, and the outer diameter of the water outlet connector remains constant.

[0013] In one embodiment, a feeding mechanism is also included, which is connected to the water outlet connector.

[0014] In one embodiment, the water outlet connector is cylindrical or prismatic.

[0015] In one embodiment, the solenoid valve of the feeding mechanism is threadedly connected to the water outlet connector.

[0016] In one embodiment, the connection between the water outlet channel and the receiving cavity is set at a distance from the filter element spacing.

[0017] One technical advantage of an embodiment of this application is that, given the presence of the filtration mechanism, residual red grains and other impurities, as well as scale, in the post-flow water can be filtered. The filtered post-flow water flows from the receiving cavity into the outlet channel of the outlet unit. This ensures that no residual red grains or scale remain in the outlet channel, preventing the post-flow water from clogging the solenoid valves and nozzles of the spray device. This allows for precise control of the post-flow water output, thus guaranteeing the wine yield and quality. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to periodically disassemble the entire spray device, reducing the frequency of disassembly, thereby lowering maintenance costs and reducing malfunctions caused by disassembly, ultimately extending the lifespan of the spray device. Moreover, it effectively prevents residual red grains and scale from burning out the solenoid valves, further reducing maintenance costs and eliminating safety hazards caused by solenoid valve burnout, thus improving the safety of the spray device.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this application provides a spraying device 10 including a filtration mechanism 100 and a feeding mechanism 200. The filtration mechanism 100 includes a water inlet unit 110, a filtration unit 120, and a water outlet unit 130. The water inlet unit 110 has a water inlet channel 111, which connects to the outside and allows water to be added into it. The filtration unit 120 includes a housing 121 and a filter element 122. The housing 121 forms a receiving cavity 1211. The water inlet unit 110 is connected to the housing 121. The filter element 122 is disposed at the communication position between the receiving cavity 1211 and the water inlet channel 111, so that the filter element 122 can provide a certain degree of coverage to the outlet of the water inlet channel 111 and the receiving cavity 1211. The water outlet unit 130 is connected to the outer casing 121. The water outlet unit 130 has a water outlet channel 131, which connects to the receiving cavity 1211. The feeding mechanism 200 is connected to the water outlet unit 130. During operation, the downstream water can be added to the water inlet channel 111 of the water inlet unit 110. The downstream water in the water inlet channel 111 will enter the receiving cavity 1211 through the filter element 122. The filter element 122 plays a good filtering role for the downstream water, thereby filtering out residual red sludge and other impurities and scale in the downstream water. After filtration, the downstream water flows from the receiving cavity 1211 into the water outlet channel 131 of the water outlet unit 130, and then enters the feeding mechanism 200 from the water outlet channel 131.

[0028] Therefore, after the water is filtered by the filter element 122, residual red sludge and other impurities and scale can be avoided in the water flowing out of the water outlet channel 131 in the water outlet unit 130, thereby preventing residual red sludge and other impurities and scale from clogging the spray device 10.

[0029] If the spray device 10 does not employ a filter mechanism 100 design, residual red shavings and other impurities, as well as scale, in the downstream water will clog the solenoid valves and nozzles of the spray device 10. This will make it difficult to accurately control the amount of downstream water sprayed from the spray device 10, thus reducing the yield and quality of the alcohol. Furthermore, maintenance personnel will need to periodically disassemble the spray device 10 to remove residual red shavings and other impurities, as well as scale, from the pipes. Frequent disassembly will shorten the lifespan of the spray device 10 and increase its maintenance costs. Moreover, when residual red shavings and other impurities, as well as scale, enter the solenoid valves of the spray device 10, the valves are prone to burnout due to the residue and scale, further increasing maintenance costs and posing safety risks, ultimately affecting the safety of the spray device 10.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Regarding the spray device 10 in the above embodiment, given the presence of the filter mechanism 100, residual red grains and other impurities, as well as scale, in the post-flow water can be filtered. The filtered post-flow water flows from the receiving cavity 1211 into the outlet channel 131 in the outlet unit 130 and flows out. This ensures that there are no residual red grains or other impurities, as well as scale, in the post-flow water flowing out of the outlet channel 131. Therefore, the post-flow water will not block the solenoid valve and nozzle of the spray device 10, thereby allowing precise control of the post-flow water spray volume, thus ensuring the wine yield and wine quality. On the other hand, it eliminates the need for maintenance personnel to periodically disassemble the spray device 10, thereby reducing the disassembly frequency of the spray device 10, which in turn reduces maintenance costs and reduces malfunctions caused by disassembly, thus extending the service life of the spray device 10. On the other hand, it can effectively avoid the burning effect of residual red grime and other debris and scale on the solenoid valve, thereby further reducing the maintenance cost of the spray device 10 and eliminating the safety hazards caused by the burnout of the solenoid valve, thus improving the safety of the spray device 10.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the water inlet unit 110 and the water outlet unit 130 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the housing 121. This allows the water inlet unit 110 and the water outlet unit 130 to make full use of the space on opposite sides of the housing 121, thereby optimizing the layout of the filter mechanism 100 and the entire spray device 10, achieving a compact structure for the filter mechanism 100 and the entire spray device 10, and thus realizing a miniaturized design for the filter mechanism 100 and the entire spray device 10.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the inlet channel 111 and the outlet channel 131 are coaxially arranged, which further improves the assembly efficiency of the filter mechanism 100 and reduces its manufacturing cost. Simultaneously, as the downstream water flows from the inlet channel 111 to the outlet channel 131, turbulence or eddies generated during the downstream water flow are reduced, thereby reducing resistance and energy loss. Furthermore, both the inlet channel 111 and the outlet channel 131 can be coaxially arranged with the receiving cavity 1211 of the outer casing 121, which further reduces turbulence or eddies generated during the downstream water flow, thereby further reducing resistance and energy loss.

[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water outlet unit 130 includes a water outlet pipe 132 connected to the outer casing 121. The water outlet pipe 132 forms at least a portion of the water outlet channel 131. The water outlet pipe 132 has a first end 1321 and a second end 1322, which are opposite ends along the length of the water outlet pipe 132. The first end 1321 of the water outlet pipe 132 can be directly and fixedly connected to the outer casing 121, i.e., the first end 1321 of the water outlet pipe 132 is the end closer to the outer casing 121, while the second end 1322 of the water outlet pipe 132 is the end farther away from the outer casing 121. The outer diameter of the water outlet pipe 132 decreases along its axial direction from the first end 1321 to the second end 1322. This allows the diameter of the water outlet channel 131 to be reduced along the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 132 from the first end 1321 to the second end 1322. With a fixed downstream water flow rate, the flow velocity of the downstream water at the end of the water outlet channel 131 furthest from the outer casing 121 can be reasonably increased. It also allows the water outlet pipe 132 to make better use of existing installation space, thereby reducing interference during installation, improving installation efficiency, and lowering the manufacturing cost of the filter mechanism 100 and the entire spray device 10.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, given that the outer diameter of the water outlet pipe 132 is reduced from the first end 1321 to the second end 1322 along the axial direction of the water outlet pipe 132, the water outlet pipe 132 is tapered, or the water outlet pipe 132 may also be stepped, similar to a stepped axis.

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water outlet unit 130 further includes a water outlet connector 133, which is connected to the second end 1322 of the water outlet pipe 132. The water outlet pipe 132 and the water outlet connector 133 together form a water outlet channel 131, and the outer diameter of the water outlet connector 133 remains constant. This makes the water outlet connector 133 cylindrical, such as a cylinder or prism. The water outlet connector 133 is connected to the solenoid valve of the feeding mechanism 200. For example, the water outlet connector 133 and the solenoid valve of the feeding mechanism 200 are detachably connected by a threaded connection. Of course, the water outlet connector 133 and the solenoid valve of the feeding mechanism 200 can also be detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water outlet channel 131 and the receiving cavity 1211 are connected at a certain position. Obviously, the connection position is located at the end of the water outlet channel 131 near the receiving cavity 1211. The connection position is spaced a certain distance from the filter element 122, so that the filter element 122 does not cover the connection position. This reasonably increases the flow rate of the downstream water, ensuring that the downstream water filtered by the filter element 122 quickly passes through the receiving cavity 1211 and enters the water outlet channel 131, thereby improving the water supply efficiency of the spray device 10.

[0037] In some embodiments, the filter element 122 can be flushed through a thin water pipe to backflow the filtered impurities. During normal use of the spray device 10, the filter element filters impurities, thereby allowing precise control of the amount of water sprayed, ensuring the wine yield and quality. Simultaneously, during maintenance of the filter mechanism 100, when it is not necessary to disassemble the filter element 122, the inlet channel 111 can be flushed through a thin water pipe. The pressure of the liquid itself allows residual red grains and other impurities, as well as scale, to backflow and be discharged from the inlet channel 111, thus achieving cleaning and maintenance of the filter mechanism 100.

[0038] Experiments show that by using a spray device 10 with a filtration mechanism 100, the yield of premium-grade wine can be increased by 22.21%, thus ensuring wine quality. Based on a unit price of 144 yuan for a single solenoid valve, approximately 26,000 yuan can be saved in one production cycle by replacing solenoid valves, thereby reducing maintenance costs and also decreasing the risk of safety accidents caused by solenoid valve burnout, thus improving the safety of the spray device 10.

[0039] During the use of the spray device 10, it is necessary to observe the spray pressure of the downstream water. If the downstream water spray pressure is too low, it means that the filter element 122 is clogged and needs to be cleaned. Specifically, when the filter element 122 needs to be cleaned, the operation of the spray device 10 can be stopped, and the inlet channel 111 can be directly flushed with a thin water pipe. The pressure of the liquid itself will cause residual red grime and other impurities, as well as scale, to flow back and be discharged from the inlet channel 111, thereby cleaning and maintaining the filter element 122 and the filtration mechanism 100. For residual red grime and other impurities and scale with relatively strong adhesion in the filter element 122, the filter element 122 can be disassembled from the outer shell 121 for cleaning. It is understood that the service life and the amount of liquid filtered by the filter element 122 are related to the residual red grime and other impurities and scale. When it is found that the filtration effect of the filter element 122 has decreased significantly or has been damaged, the filter element 122 needs to be replaced in time.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
