Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit wine brewing technology, and more specifically, to a fruit wine fining device. Background Technology

[0002] The clarity of fruit wines such as grape wine and goji berry wine is an important standard for consumers to evaluate their quality. If the wine appears cloudy, even if it tastes excellent, consumers may mistakenly judge it as spoiled. The clarification process includes two methods: natural clarification and artificial clarification. Among them, fining is one of the most critical processes in artificial clarification. This method involves adding hydrophilic colloids to the wine, causing colloidal substances, tannins, proteins, metal complexes, specific pigments, and pectin to undergo flocculation reactions and be removed, thereby achieving the purpose of clarifying the wine.

[0003] However, current glue application processes typically require manual stirring and slow addition of the glue material, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also inefficient. While existing specialized glue application devices can improve efficiency, they are expensive and complex in structure. Furthermore, installing such devices often requires modification of the fermentation tank, or even the customization of special glue application tanks or other hardware facilities, which undoubtedly poses a significant challenge for many traditional workshops that have been operating for many years. Utility Model Content

[0010] A liquor tank, the liquor tank having a second inlet and a second outlet, the second outlet being connected to the third pipe; and

[0011] The first connecting pipe is connected to both the first liquid outlet and the second liquid inlet.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the fruit wine fining device further includes a second connecting pipe, which is connected to both the colloid mixing tank and the first pipe.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the fruit wine dispensing device further includes a flow meter, which is disposed on the third connecting pipe.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the fruit wine fining device further includes a liquid outlet valve, which is located at the connection between the second liquid outlet and the third connecting pipe.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the fruit wine fining device further includes a spray pipe, which is disposed at the end of the first connecting pipe away from the first liquid outlet, and the spray pipe extends into the wine tank from the second liquid inlet.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the second inlet is located at the top of the wine tank, and the second outlet is located at the bottom of the wine tank.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the fruit wine fining device further includes wheels disposed at the bottom of the colloid mixing tank; and / or,

[0021] The fruit wine dispensing device also includes a trolley, and the mixing pump is mounted on the trolley.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment include:

[0023] The fruit wine fining device includes a colloid mixing tank, a mixing pipe, a mixing pump, a wine tank, and a first connecting pipe. The mixing pipe includes a first pipe body, a second pipe body, and a third pipe body that are interconnected. The first pipe body is connected to the colloid mixing tank.

The wine tank has a second inlet and a second outlet, and the second outlet is connected to the third pipe body. The first connecting pipe is connected to both the first outlet and the second inlet.

[0024] In other words, the colloid mixing tank can evenly mix the colloidal material, which then enters the mixing tube through the first pipe.

Under the action of the mixing pump, the wine enters the mixing pump through the second pipe, then flows into the first connecting pipe through the first outlet, and finally flows into the wine tank through the second inlet. This cycle repeats continuously, ensuring that the colloid is evenly integrated into the wine, thus achieving clarification. It's easy to understand that the overall structure of the fruit wine fining device is simple. It relies on the coordinated operation of the mixing pipe, mixing pump, and the first connecting pipe with the tank. No modifications to the existing tank structure are required, nor are any additional hardware customizations necessary. The wine clarification process is highly automated, improving fining efficiency and quality while reducing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0036] As described in the background section, fining is one of the most critical processes in artificial clarification. It involves adding hydrophilic colloids to the wine to induce flocculation of colloidal substances, tannins, proteins, metal complexes, specific pigments, and pectin, thereby removing these components and achieving clarification. However, current fining operations typically require manual stirring and slow addition of the fining material, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. While existing dedicated fining devices can improve efficiency, they are expensive and complex. Furthermore, installing such devices often requires modification of the fermentation tank, or even the customization of special fining tanks or other hardware.

[0037] Based on this, please refer to Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a fruit wine dispensing device 100, which effectively improves the aforementioned technical problems. Specifically, it has a simple structure, low cost, requires no modification to existing tank structures, and eliminates the need for customized hardware, thereby improving dispensing efficiency and quality. The fruit wine dispensing device 100 will be described in detail below.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the fruit wine fining device 100 provided in this embodiment, combined with... Figure 1 The fruit wine fining device 100 includes a colloid mixing tank 10, a mixing pipe 20, a mixing pump 30, a wine tank 40, and a first connecting pipe 51. The fining material and water are mixed evenly in the colloid mixing tank 10 to form a colloid, and the wine tank 40 is used to store the wine. The wine and colloid can be mixed in the mixing pipe 20 by the suction of the mixing pump 30.

[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of the fruit wine dispensing device 100 provided in this embodiment. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between the mixing tube 20 and a portion of the device structure provided in this embodiment. (Combined with...) Figures 1-3 The mixing pipe 20 includes a first pipe body 21, a second pipe body 22, and a third pipe body 23 that are interconnected. The first pipe body 21 is connected to the colloid mixing tank 10. The mixing pump 30 has a first inlet 31 and a first outlet 32, and the first inlet 31 is connected to the second pipe body 22. The wine tank 40 has a second inlet 41 and a second outlet 42, and the second outlet 42 is connected to the third pipe body 23. The first connecting pipe 51 is connected to both the first outlet 32 ​​and the second inlet 41.

[0040] In other words, the colloid mixing tank 10 can evenly mix the colloidal material and then enter the mixing tube 20 through the first tube 21. The wine tank 40 can enter the mixing tube 20 through the third tube 23 and mix it with the colloid. Under the action of the mixing pump 30, the wine enters the mixing pump 30 through the second tube 22, then enters the first connecting tube 51 through the first outlet 32, and then flows into the wine tank 40 through the second inlet 41. This cycle repeats, allowing the colloid to be evenly integrated into the wine, thereby achieving wine clarification. It is easy to understand that the overall structure of the fruit wine fining device 100 is simple. It only requires the coordinated cooperation between the mixing tube 20, the mixing pump 30, and the first connecting tube 51 with the tank. No modification to the existing tank structure is needed, nor is any additional hardware required. The wine clarification process is highly automated, improving fining efficiency and quality while reducing costs.

[0041] It should be noted that during the actual operation of the colloid mixing tank 10, after the colloid material and water enter the colloid mixing tank 10, the power of the colloid mixing tank 10 can be adjusted to the maximum to ensure that the colloid material is mixed evenly. Then, during the colloid and liquor mixing stage, the power of the colloid mixing tank 10 should be adjusted to the minimum to reduce energy consumption and keep the colloid in a uniform state (colloidal materials such as bentonite will exhibit stratification under long-term static conditions, and uneven colloid will reduce the colloid quality).

[0042] To facilitate the connection between the mixing tube 20 and the colloid mixing tank 10, in this embodiment, the fruit wine dispensing device 100 further includes a second connecting tube 52, which is connected to both the colloid mixing tank 10 and the first tube 21.

[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, one end of the second connecting pipe 52 is specifically connected to the bottom of the colloid mixing tank 10. This allows the uniform colloid to flow better into the second connecting pipe 52 under gravity, improving the efficiency of mixing and clarification. Of course, in other embodiments, one end of the second connecting pipe 52 can also be connected to other locations within the colloid mixing tank 10, and the flow of the colloid can be achieved using a mixing pump 30 or other suction devices.

[0044] Please continue to combine Figures 1-3 To better regulate the flow rate of the colloid and further improve the efficiency and quality of dispensing, in this embodiment, the fruit wine dispensing device 100 also includes a throttle valve connector 61, the two ends of which are connected to the second connecting pipe 52 and the first pipe body 21, respectively.

[0045] Furthermore, to prevent liquid in the mixing pipe 20 from flowing back into the second connecting pipe 52, the fruit wine fining device 100 also includes a check valve 62. The check valve 62 is disposed inside the first pipe body 21 and located at the end of the first pipe body 21 near the second connecting pipe 52. It is easy to understand that by providing the check valve 62, when the mixing pump 30 stops running, the wine will not flow back into the colloid mixing tank 10 through the mixing pipe 20 and the first connecting pipe 51, thus avoiding contamination of the colloid.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the mixing pipe 20 and the wine tank 40, the fruit wine fining device 100 also includes a third connecting pipe 53, which is connected to both the second liquid outlet 42 and the third pipe body 23.

[0047] It should be noted that the wine and colloids are continuously mixed and clarified by the action of the mixing pump 30. Therefore, in order to record the circulation volume and ensure that the circulation volume meets the actual winemaking requirements, in this embodiment, the fruit wine fining device 100 also includes a flow meter 63, which is installed in the third connecting pipe 53.

[0048] Similarly, in order to facilitate the control of the flow of wine into the third connecting pipe 53, the fruit wine fining device 100 also includes a liquid outlet valve 64, which is located at the connection between the second liquid outlet 42 and the third connecting pipe 53.

[0049] It should be noted that the liquid outlet valve 64 can also be set as a flow regulating valve, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the flow rate of the liquor and improving the efficiency and quality of fining.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 The fruit wine fining device 100 also includes a spray pipe 54, which is located at the end of the first connecting pipe 51 away from the first liquid outlet 32, and extends into the wine tank 40 from the second liquid inlet 41. By setting the spray pipe 54, the wine and colloid can be better mixed and then sprayed back into the wine tank 40, which can further improve the clarification effect of the wine.

[0051] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mixing pump 30 is specifically a variable frequency pump, which can prevent the loss of wine caused by the operator forgetting to open the valve of the spray pipe 54 or by the pipe breaking due to blockage of other pipes.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second inlet 41 is located at the top of the wine tank 40, and the second outlet 42 is located at the bottom of the wine tank 40. This improves the clarity of the circulating colloid of the wine, and also allows the wine to flow more effectively into the third connecting pipe 53 under the influence of gravity.

[0053] In actual gluten dispensing operations, to improve work efficiency and flexibility, the fruit wine gluten dispensing device 100 also includes wheels 71, which are located at the bottom of the colloid mixing tank 10. By providing wheels 71, the colloid mixing tank 10 can be easily moved to adapt to different conditions in the work workshop.

[0054] Furthermore, the fruit wine dispensing device 100 also includes a trolley 72, on which the mixing pump 30 is disposed. It is easy to understand that the mixing pump 30 can be moved via the trolley 72, thereby improving work efficiency and flexibility.

[0055] Based on the above description, the working principle of the fruit wine fining device 100 provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0056] First, the colloid material and water are poured into the colloid mixing tank 10, and its power is adjusted to the maximum to ensure the colloid material is thoroughly mixed. Next, the valves of the throttle valve connector 61 and the liquid outlet valve 64 are opened, and the mixing pump 30 is powered on, allowing the liquor and colloid to be drawn into the mixing pipe 20 and mixed evenly under the suction of the mixing pump 30. Then, the mixed liquid sequentially passes through the first liquid outlet 32, the first connecting pipe 51, and the second liquid inlet 41 of the mixing pump 30, and is sprayed into the liquor tank 40 through the spray pipe 54, continuing to mix into the liquor within the liquor tank 40. This cycle is repeated, ensuring the colloid is evenly integrated into the liquor.

[0057] During the above-mentioned dispensing process, the power of the colloid mixing tank 10 is adjusted to the minimum to reduce energy consumption and keep the colloid in a uniform state. The flow rate of the colloid is adjusted by controlling the throttle valve connector 61. The circulation volume is recorded by the flow meter 63. When the circulation volume reaches the actual requirement, the mixing pump 30, the colloid mixing tank 10, the throttle valve connector 61 and the liquid outlet valve 64 are then turned off.

[0058] In summary, the embodiments of this utility model provide a fruit wine fining device 100, which includes a colloid mixing tank 10, a mixing pipe 20, a mixing pump 30, a wine tank 40, and a first connecting pipe 51. The mixing pipe 20 includes a first pipe body 21, a second pipe body 22, and a third pipe body 23 that are interconnected. The first pipe body 21 is connected to the colloid mixing tank 10. The mixing pump 30 has a first inlet 31 and a first outlet 32, which are connected to the second pipe body 22. The wine tank 40 has a second inlet 41 and a second outlet 42, which are connected to the third pipe body 23. The first connecting pipe 51 is connected to both the first outlet 32 ​​and the second inlet 41. The colloid mixing tank 10 can evenly mix the colloidal material, which then enters the mixing tube 20 through the first tube 21. The liquor tank 40 can introduce the liquor into the mixing tube 20 through the third tube 23, where it mixes with the colloid. Under the action of the mixing pump 30, the liquor enters the mixing pump 30 through the second tube 22, then enters the first connecting tube 51 through the first outlet 32, and finally flows into the liquor tank 40 through the second inlet 41. This cycle repeats continuously, allowing the colloid to be evenly integrated into the liquor, thereby achieving liquor clarification.

[0059] As is easy to understand, the overall structure of the fruit wine fining device 100 is simple. It can be used in conjunction with the tank through the mixing pipe 20, the mixing pump 30 and the first connecting pipe 51. There is no need to modify the existing tank structure or customize other hardware facilities. The clarification process of the wine is highly automated, which can improve the fining efficiency and quality and reduce costs.

[0060] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
