Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of biotechnology, and more particularly to an anti-oxidation device for wine storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] If wine comes into excessive contact with oxygen during storage, it will undergo oxidation, leading to changes in flavor, darkening of color, and even the development of unpleasant odors, severely impacting the quality of the wine. Currently, most wine storage tanks on the market lack effective anti-oxidation measures, or their anti-oxidation effect is unsatisfactory, failing to meet the needs of long-term wine storage. Furthermore, they lack real-time monitoring and alarm functions for gas concentration inside the tank, making it impossible to adjust the gas concentration in a timely manner, thus affecting the storage effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an anti-oxidation device for wine storage tanks. The tank body is connected to a vacuum pump and a nitrogen cylinder. The vacuum pump extracts oxygen from the tank and fills it with nitrogen, effectively reducing the oxygen concentration inside the tank. The nitrogen replaces the oxygen, forming a nitrogen protective layer that enhances the anti-oxidation effect of the wine. The tank is equipped with two sensors and an alarm. The two sensors monitor the oxygen and nitrogen concentrations inside the tank, respectively. When the gas concentration monitoring fails to meet the standard, the alarm sounds, promptly reminding staff to adjust the gas concentration inside the tank to ensure a stable and reliable anti-oxidation effect.

[0004] This application provides an anti-oxidation device for a wine storage tank, comprising: a tank body, a vacuum pump, and a nitrogen cylinder. The top of the tank body is provided with a feed inlet, which is covered by a first cover. The top of the tank body is provided with an exhaust port and an air inlet. The exhaust port is connected to a first pipe, which is equipped with a vacuum regulating valve connected to the vacuum pump. The air inlet is connected to a second pipe, which is equipped with a flow regulating valve connected to the nitrogen cylinder. Two sensors are provided on the top of the tank body, namely an oxygen sensor and a nitrogen sensor. A controller is provided on the outer wall of the tank body, which is electrically connected to the two sensors. An alarm is provided on the controller. The vacuum pump is connected to the controller.

[0005] A pressure regulating valve is installed at the top of the tank, a discharge port is installed at the bottom of the side wall of the tank, a cover is installed on the discharge port, and four support legs are installed at the bottom of the tank, which are fixed on a base.

[0008] Furthermore, a sealing ring is installed on both the air inlet and the exhaust outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, a liquid level gauge is installed on the side wall of the tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the controller is equipped with a display screen and several operation buttons.

[0011] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this application provides an anti-oxidation device for wine storage tanks, including: a tank body, a vacuum pump, and a nitrogen cylinder. The tank body has an inlet at the top, and a cover is provided at the inlet. The cover is manually opened, wine is injected into the tank through the inlet, and then the cover is closed. The tank body has an exhaust port at the top and an air inlet at the top. The exhaust port is connected to a pipe, and a vacuum regulating valve is installed on the pipe. The vacuum regulating valve is connected to the vacuum pump. The controller starts the vacuum pump, and the vacuum regulating valve controls the pumping rate, drawing gas from the tank through the exhaust port and pipe, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the tank. The concentration is controlled by a nitrogen cylinder. The inlet is connected to a second pipe, which is equipped with a flow control valve connected to a nitrogen cylinder. The flow control valve is manually opened, adjusting the nitrogen flow rate so that nitrogen enters the tank through the inlet via the second pipe. The nitrogen replaces oxygen, forming a nitrogen protective layer and enhancing the wine's anti-oxidation effect. A vacuum pump extracts oxygen from the tank and simultaneously fills it with nitrogen, effectively reducing the oxygen concentration within the tank. Two sensors are installed at the top of the tank, one for oxygen and the other for nitrogen. The tank contains oxygen and nitrogen sensors. A controller is mounted on the outer wall of the tank, and the two sensors are electrically connected to the controller. The oxygen sensor monitors the oxygen concentration inside the tank and transmits the data signal to the controller. The nitrogen sensor monitors the nitrogen concentration inside the tank and transmits the data signal to the controller. An alarm is installed on the controller. When either sensor detects that the oxygen or nitrogen concentration inside the tank is below the acceptable level, it sends a data signal back to the controller. The controller then activates the alarm to promptly remind personnel to adjust the gas concentration inside the tank to ensure... The anti-oxidation effect inside the tank is stable and reliable. The vacuum pump is connected to the controller, which controls the operation of the vacuum pump to facilitate the extraction of air from the tank and reduce the oxygen concentration. A pressure regulating valve is installed on the top of the tank, which automatically adjusts and balances the pressure inside and outside the tank to avoid the risk of negative or overpressure. A discharge port is located at the bottom of the side wall of the tank, and a second cover is installed on the discharge port. When discharge is required, the second cover is manually opened, and the wine in the tank is discharged through the discharge port. After discharge, the second cover is closed. Four support legs are installed at the bottom of the tank, and the four support legs are fixed on a base to support the tank.

[0012] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0013] 1. The tank is connected to a vacuum pump and a nitrogen cylinder. The vacuum pump extracts oxygen from the tank and fills it with nitrogen. This dual action effectively reduces the oxygen concentration in the tank, and the nitrogen replaces the oxygen, forming a nitrogen protective layer that enhances the anti-oxidation effect of the wine.

[0014] 2. The tank is equipped with two sensors and an alarm. The two sensors monitor the oxygen and nitrogen concentrations inside the tank, respectively. When the gas concentrations inside the tank do not meet the standards, the alarm will sound to remind the staff to adjust the gas concentrations inside the tank in a timely manner, so as to ensure that the anti-oxidation effect inside the tank is stable and reliable.

The controller 13 then controls the alarm 14 to issue an alarm, promptly reminding the staff to adjust the gas concentration inside the tank 1 to ensure a stable and reliable anti-oxidation effect. The vacuum pump 2 is connected to the controller 13, and the controller 13 controls the opening of the vacuum pump 2 to facilitate the extraction of gas from the tank 1 and reduce the oxygen concentration.
