Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of oak barrels, and more particularly to a visible cigar aging oak barrel. Background Technology
[0002] The inner walls of oak barrels contain abundant vanillin, oak lactones, and eugenol, among other substances. These substances gradually infuse into the cigar tobacco during contact, adding a unique oak aroma and enriching the cigar's flavor, making it more mellow and complex. Simultaneously, as the cigar tobacco matures in the oak barrel, its aromas and chemicals interact with the barrel's inner walls. This interaction may cause the oak barrel walls to absorb the cigar's distinctive flavor compounds, thus adding the cigar's unique aroma to any spirits or other liquids stored within it during subsequent use.
[0003] Existing oak barrels are all made of opaque materials. When an oak barrel containing cigars is not opened, the operator cannot see the inside and cannot determine the condition of the cigars inside. Utility Model Content
[0004] To facilitate observation of cigars inside oak barrels, this application provides a visible cigar aging oak barrel.
[0005] This application provides a visible cigar aging oak barrel, employing the following technical solution:
[0006] A visual cigar aging oak barrel includes a barrel body and a barrel lid. The bottom of the barrel body, away from the barrel lid, is divided into a transparent plate. The barrel lid is provided with a display screen and a controller electrically connected to the display screen. A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are installed inside the barrel body and are electrically connected to the controller.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the transparent panel allows operators to easily observe the condition of the cigars inside the barrel. Temperature and humidity sensors collect data on the temperature and humidity inside the barrel and generate electrical signals to send to the controller. After receiving the signals, the controller displays the temperature and humidity information inside the barrel on the screen, making it convenient for operators to monitor the temperature and humidity conditions inside the barrel.
[0008] Optionally, the bucket lid includes a fixing body and a door body, the fixing body being fixedly connected to the bucket body, and the door body being hinged to the fixing body.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the door can be opened to facilitate putting cigars into or taking cigars out of the container.
[0010] Optionally, a pull ring is provided on the door body.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the door can be easily opened using a pull ring.
[0012] Optionally, a support plate is provided inside the barrel.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the cigar is supported by a support plate, which avoids the cigar from directly contacting the inner wall of the barrel, thus preventing uneven interaction between the inner wall of the barrel and the cigar.
[0014] Optionally, the support plate has mesh openings.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the mesh allows the cigar and the inner wall of the barrel located below the support plate to react with the aroma and chemical substances produced by the cigar.
[0016] Optionally, the support plate is provided with a plurality of partition plates arranged along the length of the barrel.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cigars can be easily and evenly arranged on the support plate using the divider.
[0018] Optionally, a base is provided at the bottom of the barrel.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the barrel is supported by the base and placed horizontally, which facilitates the reaction of cigars in the barrel and allows the operator to directly observe the internal environment of the barrel through the transparent plate.
[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0021] The transparent panel allows operators to easily observe the condition of the cigars inside the barrel;
[0022] Temperature and humidity sensors collect data on the temperature and humidity inside the tank and generate electrical signals to send to the controller. After receiving the signals, the controller displays the temperature and humidity information inside the tank on the screen, making it convenient for operators to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the tank.

[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to all the accompanying drawings.
[0028] This application discloses a visible cigar aging oak barrel.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A visible cigar aging oak barrel includes a barrel body 1 and a barrel lid 2. The bottom of the barrel body 1, away from the barrel lid 2, is divided into a transparent plate 3. When cigars are placed inside, the operator can easily observe the condition of the cigars inside the barrel body 1 through the transparent plate 3.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 A base 4 is provided at the bottom of the barrel 1. The base 4 supports the barrel 1, allowing it to be placed horizontally. This facilitates the reaction of cigars in the barrel 1 and also allows the operator to directly observe the internal environment of the barrel 1 through the transparent plate 3.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The lid 2 is equipped with a display screen 51 and a controller 5 electrically connected to the display screen 51. A temperature sensor 52 and a humidity sensor 53 are installed inside the barrel body 1, and are electrically connected to the controller 5. The temperature sensor 52 and humidity sensor 53 collect data on the temperature and humidity inside the barrel body 1 and generate electrical signals, which are then sent to the controller 5. Upon receiving the signals, the controller 5 displays the temperature and humidity information inside the barrel body 1 on the display screen 51, facilitating monitoring of the temperature and humidity conditions inside the barrel body 1 by the operator.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 The lid 2 includes a fixing body 21 and a door 22. The fixing body 21 is fixedly connected to the barrel body 1, and the door 22 is hinged to the fixing body 21. By opening the door 22, it is convenient to put cigars into the barrel body 1 or to take cigars out of the barrel body 1. A pull ring 221 is provided on the door 22. The pull ring 221 makes it easy to open the door 22.
[0033] Reference Figure 2A support plate 6 is installed inside the barrel body 1. The support plate 6 supports the cigar and prevents the cigar from directly contacting the inner wall of the barrel body 1, which would cause uneven interaction between the inner wall of the barrel body 1 and the cigar. The support plate 6 has mesh holes 61. The mesh holes 61 allow the cigar and the inner wall of the barrel body 1 located below the support plate 6 to react with the aroma and chemical substances produced by the cigar.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 The support plate 6 is provided with several partition plates 62 arranged along the length of the barrel 1. The partition plates 62 facilitate the even arrangement of cigars on the support plate 6.
[0035] The implementation principle of one embodiment of this application is as follows: the transparent plate 3 allows the operator to easily observe the state of the cigars inside the barrel 1. The temperature sensor 52 and humidity sensor 53 collect the temperature and humidity inside the barrel 1 and generate electrical signals to send to the controller 5. After receiving the signals, the controller 5 displays the temperature and humidity information inside the barrel 1 on the display screen 51, so that the operator can easily monitor the temperature and humidity inside the barrel 1.
[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
