Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of raw wine storage technology, specifically a wine inlet and outlet system for a ceramic jar wine storage cellar. Background Technology

[0002] Larger wineries typically transport their finished raw liquor from the production line to tanks, which are then transported by tank trucks to metal tanks in wine storage facilities. Metal tanks offer advantages such as large capacity and durability, but they also suffer from poor permeability and insulation, hindering the micro-oxygen circulation of the raw liquor and its flavor and taste. Earthenware jars, on the other hand, offer excellent permeability, allowing oxygen from the air to enter and create a micro-oxygen circulation with the liquor. This promotes esterification, accelerates oxidation, and results in a richer, more mellow liquor, improving its flavor and taste. However, earthenware jars must be significantly smaller than metal tanks to maintain sufficient capacity. Therefore, a dedicated earthenware jar wine storage facility is needed for both the inlet and outlet of the raw liquor, improving both its taste and quality while simultaneously increasing efficiency.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the compressed air power system includes a variable frequency air compressor 1, a first compressed air storage tank 2, a filter, a refrigerated dryer 4, a second compressed air storage tank 6, and an overflow pipe 7. A filter and a refrigerated dryer 4 are installed between the first compressed air storage tank 2 and the second compressed air storage tank 6. The outlet of the variable frequency air compressor 1 is connected to the first compressed air storage tank 2 via a pipe. Compressed gas is delivered to the second compressed air storage tank 6 after passing through the filter and the refrigerated dryer 4. The compressed gas output pipe 8 is connected to the outlet of the second compressed air storage tank 6, and a switch valve is installed at the inlet end of the compressed gas output pipe 8 in the earthenware jar wine storage cellar. The bottom outlets of the variable frequency air compressor 1, the first compressed air storage tank 2, the filter, the refrigerated dryer 4, and the second compressed air storage tank 6 are all connected to the overflow pipe 7 via manual switch valves.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the filter includes a pre-filter 3 and a precision filter 5; the pre-filter 3 is installed at the air inlet of the refrigerated dryer 4, and the precision filter 5 is installed at the air outlet; the dust removal level of the pre-filter 3 is 0.1µm; the dust removal level of the precision filter 5 is 0.01µm; the pre-filter 3 and the precision filter 5 can effectively filter the compressed air, and at the same time, the water generated by the compressed air during the use of the variable frequency air compressor 1 and the refrigerated dryer 4 can be overflowed and discharged through the overflow pipe 7 to prevent pipe blockage, thereby providing a stable power source for the compressed air power system.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the top of the high-level storage tank 15 for raw liquor is equipped with a breather cap 151 and a liquor inlet 152. From top to bottom, the sides of the high-level storage tank 15 are equipped with a high-level liquid level gauge 153 and a low-level liquid level gauge 154, which determine the amount of liquor stored in the tank, providing data for controlling the opening and closing of the pneumatic valve and enabling quantitative control.

The upper end of the liquor inlet pipe 11 is connected to the liquor inlet 152; the upper end of the liquor outlet pipe 14 is connected to the bottom liquor outlet 156 of the high-level storage tank 15.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least two high-level storage tanks 15 for raw liquor are provided. The inlet 152 of each high-level storage tank 15 is connected to the inlet pipe 11 via a pneumatic switch valve, and the outlet 156 of each high-level storage tank 15 is connected to the outlet pipe 14 via a pneumatic switch valve.

[0022] The specific usage process is as follows: When the earthenware jar wine storage cellar is filled with wine, a mobile pump connects the wine transport tanker to the wine inlet pipe 11. The wine in the transport tanker enters the wine inlet pipe 11 through the mobile pump and valve. The wine inlet common regulating valve 17 is opened, so that the wine in the tanker, under the action of the compressed air power system, enters the inlet 152 of a raw wine high-level storage tank 15 through a movable pneumatic diaphragm pump and a pneumatic valve set at the lower end of the wine inlet pipe 11. The wine inlet is stopped after the wine in the tank reaches the set value by the high-level liquid level gauge 153 and the low-level liquid level gauge 154. At the same time, the wine inlet valve and pipeline are switched, and the wine in the transport tanker enters other raw wine high-level storage tanks 15 in the same way. The liquor in the high-level storage tank 15 flows through the outlet pipe 14, valves, and a shared regulating valve 16 into the outlet wiring pipes 13 of each layer of the earthenware jar storage cellar, and then into the earthenware jars below the outlet wiring pipes 13. The high-level storage tank 15 can alternately discharge liquor until the liquor in the transport tanker is completely unloaded. When discharging liquor from the jar cellar, a mobile pump connects the transport tanker and the outlet pipe 14, and the valve is opened. Under the action of the pneumatic diaphragm pump, the liquor in the earthenware jars is first transferred into one of the high-level storage tanks 15. Once the liquor in the high-level storage tank 15 reaches the set value, the discharging stops. At the same time, the valves and pipes are switched so that the liquor in the earthenware jars of each layer of the earthenware jar storage cellar enters other high-level storage tanks 15. The liquor in the high-level storage tank 15 is quantitatively discharged into the transport tanker through the outlet pipe 14, valves, and the weighing module 155. This allows for the inflow and outflow of raw wine in the earthenware jar storage cellar, while simultaneously improving the taste and quality of the wine stored in the earthenware jars and increasing the efficiency of both inflow and outflow.

[0023] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
