Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oak barrel tipping and pouring, and in particular to a device for yellow wine oak barrels that facilitates sampling and pouring. Background Technology
[0002] Oak barrels are containers made of oak used to store and age rice wine. The inner walls of the oak barrels have tiny pores that allow a small amount of oxygen to slowly enter the wine, reacting with the organic matter in the rice wine and accelerating the aging process, making the wine more mellow and smoother in taste. During the storage and aging process, it is necessary to take samples of the rice wine to understand its current reaction state. Once the rice wine has aged properly, it is poured out of the oak barrel.
[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202420209837.6 discloses a barrel-turning auxiliary mechanism. This solution uses a lifting component to lift and mount a clamping component on a frame, allowing the clamping component to hold the barrel to be turned and lift it up, making it convenient for workers to turn the barrel. However, when sampling and pouring are required in yellow wine oak barrels, the above-mentioned patent is not convenient for shaking and mixing the yellow wine in the yellow wine oak barrel. When sampling, the sample may not be complete, and when pouring, the yellow wine may not be poured out completely.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a device for sampling and pouring rice wine in oak barrels. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for sampling and pouring rice wine from oak barrels. Through a transmission structure in the pouring assembly that uses a motor to drive a worm gear, worm wheel, gear, and rack, the height adjustment and pouring action of the oak barrel can be precisely controlled, eliminating the need for manual handling or adjustment and greatly reducing labor intensity. The motor in the clamping assembly drives a bidirectional lead screw, enabling rapid clamping and releasing of the oak barrel, facilitating loading and unloading and significantly improving operational efficiency. Controlling the staggered lifting and lowering of the two racks causes the oak barrel to shake, effectively mixing the settled rice wine within, ensuring that the extracted sample truly reflects the quality of the entire barrel of rice wine, and facilitating thorough pouring. Furthermore, during the pouring process, the oak barrel can be flexibly rotated to adjust the pouring angle.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A device for sampling and pouring rice wine from oak barrels includes a pouring assembly. Two symmetrically arranged supports are fixedly connected to the top of the pouring assembly. Two sets of clamping assemblies are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the two supports. An oak barrel body is disposed inside each set of clamping assemblies. The pouring assembly includes a housing and a movable strip fixedly connected to the supports. Two symmetrical racks are slidably connected inside the housing. The top of each rack passes through the top of the housing and is fixedly connected to a hinge block. A connecting block is rotatably connected to the top of the hinge block. One end of the movable strip is fixedly connected to one of the connecting blocks, and the other end of the movable strip has a groove. A slider is slidably connected inside the groove, and the slider is fixedly connected to the other connecting block.
[0008] Furthermore, the interior of the chassis is fixedly connected to two symmetrical partitions. A motor is fixedly connected to one end of each partition, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the motor. The end of the worm gear away from the motor passes through the partition and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chassis.
[0009] Furthermore, a rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the chassis is provided below the worm gear, and a gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft, the gear meshing with the rack.
[0010] Furthermore, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the middle of the shaft and the end away from the gear, and the worm gear meshes with the worm.
[0011] Furthermore, two symmetrical balancing bases are fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis.
[0012] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a fixing strip fixedly connected to the bracket. One end of the fixing strip is fixedly connected to a motor. The transmission end of the motor extends into the interior of the fixing strip and is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw. The middle part of the bidirectional lead screw is threadedly connected to two symmetrical uprights through a threaded sleeve. The top end of the uprights passes through the top end of the fixing strip and is fixedly connected to a fixing block.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner end of the fixing block is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, and an adsorption wheel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft.
[0014] Furthermore, the adsorption wheel includes a disc adapted to the oak barrel body, and a plurality of suction cups are fixedly connected to the inner end of the disc, the suction cups being in contact with the oak barrel body.
[0015] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The tilting assembly utilizes a motor-driven transmission structure consisting of a worm gear, worm wheel, gear, and rack to precisely control the height adjustment and tilting action of the oak barrel, eliminating the need for manual handling or adjustment and greatly reducing labor intensity. The clamping assembly's motor drives a two-way lead screw, enabling rapid clamping and releasing of the oak barrel, facilitating loading and unloading and significantly improving operational efficiency.
[0017] 2. By controlling the alternating lifting and lowering of two racks, the oak barrel is shaken, effectively mixing the precipitated rice wine inside the barrel. This ensures that the extracted sample can truly reflect the quality of the entire barrel of rice wine, avoiding sample deviation caused by rice wine sedimentation, and providing a reliable basis for rice wine quality testing and tasting.
[0018] 3. During the pouring of rice wine, the oak barrel can not only rotate flexibly to adjust the pouring angle, but also promote the full flow of rice wine by controlling its shaking. Compared with traditional oak barrel devices, it can pour the rice wine in the barrel more cleanly, reduce residue and waste, and improve the utilization rate of rice wine.
[0019] 4. The suction wheels in the clamping assembly fit tightly against the oak barrel body through multiple suction cups. Combined with the clamping structure composed of the upright and fixing blocks, it provides a stable and firm fixation effect for the oak barrel body, preventing the oak barrel body from shaking or shifting on the device, and ensuring the safety and stability of the entire operation process.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Identical parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, this is a preferred embodiment of the present invention for a rice wine oak barrel device that facilitates sampling and pouring. It includes a pouring component 1, with two symmetrically arranged supports 2 fixedly connected to the top of the pouring component 1. Two sets of clamping components 3 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the two supports 2, and an oak barrel body 4 is disposed inside each set of clamping components 3. The pouring component 1 includes a housing 101 and a movable strip 107 fixedly connected to the supports 2. Two symmetrical racks 103 are slidably connected inside the housing 101. The top of each rack 103 passes through the top of the housing 101 and is fixedly connected to a hinge block 104. A connecting block 105 is rotatably connected to the top of the hinge block 104. One end of the movable strip 107 is fixedly connected to one of the connecting blocks 105, and the other end of the movable strip 107 has a groove. A slider 108 is slidably connected inside the groove and is fixedly connected to the other connecting block 105.
[0029] The tilting assembly 1, the bracket 2, and the clamping assembly 3 work together to install and fix the oak barrel 4, providing basic support for subsequent tilting and other operations.
[0030] The combination of components such as the housing 101, rack 103, hinge block 104, connecting block 105, movable bar 107, and slider 108 in the tilting assembly 1 enables the bracket 2 to form a movable connection structure with the housing 101, preparing for the tilting function of the oak barrel 4. At the same time, when the two racks 103 rise and fall synchronously, the height of the oak barrel 4 can be controlled, making it convenient for users to adjust the height of the oak barrel 4 according to their needs. In addition, when the two racks 103 rise and fall alternately, the oak barrel 4 can be shaken, causing the rice wine inside the oak barrel 4 to sway back and forth, which can mix the rice wine inside the oak barrel 4. When sampling is required later, it can ensure that the user obtains a complete rice wine sample, preventing the rice wine from settling and resulting in an incomplete sample. Moreover, the shaking oak barrel 4 can make the rice wine inside the oak barrel 4 more clean when pouring it out later.
[0031] Furthermore, two symmetrical partitions 109 are fixedly connected inside the chassis 101. A motor 110 is fixedly connected to one end of the partition 109. A worm gear 111 is fixedly connected to the transmission end of the motor 110. The end of the worm gear 111 away from the motor 110 passes through the partition 109 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the chassis 101.
[0032] The partition 109 serves to divide the internal space of the chassis 101, facilitating the installation and fixing of parts such as the motor 110. The motor 110, as a power source, drives the worm gear 111 to rotate, providing power input to the subsequent transmission structure.
[0033] Furthermore, a rotating shaft 112 that is rotatably connected to the housing 101 is provided below the worm gear 111, and a gear 113 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 112, and the gear 113 meshes with the rack 103;
[0034] The transmission structure consists of a worm gear 111, a rotating shaft 112, a gear 113, and a rack 103. The rotation of the worm gear 111 drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate, which in turn causes the gear 113 to rotate. Through the meshing of the gear 113 and the rack 103, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the rack 103.
[0035] Furthermore, a worm gear 114 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the rotating shaft 112 and the end away from the gear 113, and the worm gear 114 meshes with the worm 111;
[0036] The meshing of the worm gear 114 with the worm 111 further improves the transmission structure, ensuring that the power of the motor 110 can be effectively transmitted to the rotating shaft 112, thus achieving stable transmission.
[0037] Furthermore, two symmetrical balance bases 102 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the chassis 101;
[0038] The stability of the entire device is increased by the balancing base 102, which keeps the device balanced during placement and operation and prevents it from tipping over.
[0039] Furthermore, the clamping assembly 3 includes a fixing strip 301 fixedly connected to the bracket 2. One end of the fixing strip 301 is fixedly connected to a motor 302. The transmission end of the motor 302 extends into the interior of the fixing strip 301 and is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 303. The middle part of the bidirectional lead screw 303 is threadedly connected to two symmetrical uprights 304 through a threaded sleeve. The top end of the uprights 304 passes through the top end of the fixing strip 301 and is fixedly connected to a fixing block 306.
[0040] An adjustable clamping structure is formed by components such as fixing bar 301, motor 302, double-acting screw 303, upright rod 304 and fixing block 306. The motor 302 drives the double-acting screw 303 to rotate, causing the two upright rods 304 to move relative to each other or away from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the oak barrel 4.
[0041] Furthermore, the inner end of the fixing block 306 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 307, and an adsorption wheel 308 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 307;
[0042] By setting up the rotating shaft 307 and the adsorption wheel 308, the adsorption wheel 308 can rotate around the rotating shaft 307. When clamping the oak barrel 4, the adsorption wheel 308 can better fit the surface of the oak barrel 4, and can rotate flexibly when the oak barrel 4 needs to be rotated, such as for sampling or pouring.
[0043] Furthermore, the adsorption wheel 308 includes a disc adapted to the oak barrel body 4, and a plurality of suction cups are fixedly connected to the inner end of the disc, the suction cups being in contact with the oak barrel body 4;
[0044] The suction cups adhere to the oak barrel 4, increasing the adsorption force on the oak barrel 4 and further improving the stability of the clamping, preventing the oak barrel 4 from shaking on the device.
[0045] Specific implementation process: First, place the oak barrel 4 between the two sets of clamping components 3, start the motor 302 in the clamping component 3, the motor 302 drives the bidirectional lead screw 303 to rotate, under the action of threaded transmission, the two uprights 304 move relative to each other until the suction cup on the suction wheel 308 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the oak barrel 4, completing the fixed clamping of the oak barrel 4; when it is necessary to adjust the height of the oak barrel 4, turn on the motor 110 in the tilting component 1, the motor 110 drives the worm gear 111 to rotate, the worm gear 111 drives the rotating shaft 112 to rotate by meshing with the worm wheel 114, the gear 113 on the rotating shaft 112 rotates accordingly, and then drives the rack 103 meshing with it to rotate. The machine housing 101 moves in a linear lifting motion, with the two racks 103 rising and falling synchronously, thus adjusting the height of the oak barrel 4 for convenient sampling. If it is necessary to mix the rice wine in the oak barrel 4, the motor 110 is restarted. By controlling the direction of the motor 110, the two racks 103 rise and fall alternately, thereby causing the oak barrel 4 to shake and promote uniform mixing of the rice wine. When it is necessary to pour out the oak barrel 4, the adsorption wheel 308 can rotate around the rotating shaft 307, turning the discharge port of the oak barrel 4 to face downwards and opening the discharge port to achieve the purpose of pouring out. At the same time, the oak barrel 4 can be slowly shaken and tilted until the rice wine in the oak barrel 4 is poured out completely.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
