Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine storage tank technology, specifically a wine storage tank that facilitates the cleaning of sediment. Background Technology

[0002] Wine storage tanks are large containers used to store alcoholic beverages during the brewing process. They are usually made of stainless steel (though oak or concrete are also used). Their main function is to provide a stable and controllable storage environment for alcoholic beverages (such as wine, beer, and spirits) after fermentation. They have a sealed design and are equipped with temperature control and pressure regulation devices to isolate oxygen and prevent contamination. At the same time, they promote the clarification of the liquid, the integration of flavors, and slow maturation (aging). They are key equipment to ensure the stability of the wine quality and improve its taste, and are figuratively called the "big-bellied guardians" of the brewery.

[0003] Existing wine storage tanks are too large (usually ≥5m). 3 Furthermore, the limited size of the manhole (diameter mostly <500mm) makes it impossible for personnel to enter the tank for work, and manual access to the edge of the cone bottom and the dead corners of the weld makes it difficult to thoroughly clean the sediment at the bottom of the tank (such as tartrate crystals, yeast mud and protein colloids). Therefore, we propose a wine storage tank that facilitates the cleaning of sediment. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 A wine storage tank for easy cleaning of sediment includes a wine storage tank body 1. A wine storage tank bottom 12 is provided at the bottom of the interior of the wine storage tank body 1. A feed cylinder 8 is integrally fixedly installed below the wine storage tank body 1. A second connecting flange 6 is integrally fixedly installed below the feed cylinder 8. A first sealing gasket 9 is installed below the second connecting flange 6. A third connecting flange 11 is installed below the first sealing gasket 9. A sedimentation cylinder 5 is integrally fixedly installed below the third connecting flange 11. A first connecting flange 3 is integrally fixedly installed below the sedimentation cylinder 5. A second sealing gasket 10 is installed below the first connecting flange 3. A base plate 4 is installed below the second sealing gasket 10. A manhole 7 is provided on the top of the wine storage tank body 1. A manhole cover 13 is installed above the manhole 7. Support legs 2 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the wine storage tank body 1.

[0019] In this implementation plan: by installing a detachable sedimentation cylinder 5 at the bottom of the wine storage tank body 1, the sediment inside the wine storage tank body 1 settles into the sedimentation cylinder 5. When cleaning the sediment, the sedimentation cylinder 5 can be disassembled for cleaning, making the cleaning of the sediment simple and convenient. At the same time, the bottom plate 4 can be disassembled, making it more convenient to clean the sediment inside the sedimentation cylinder 5.

[0020] Furthermore:

[0021] In an optional embodiment, the second connecting flange 6 is bolted to the third connecting flange 11, the first sealing gasket 9 is tightly fitted to the second connecting flange 6, and the third connecting flange 11 is tightly fitted to the first sealing gasket 9.

[0022] In this implementation scheme: the first sealing gasket 9 ensures the tightness of the connection between the second connecting flange 6 and the third connecting flange 11.

[0023] Furthermore:

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting flange 3 is bolted to the base plate 4, and the second sealing gasket 10 is tightly fitted to the first connecting flange 3 and the base plate 4.

[0025] In this implementation scheme: the second sealing gasket 10 ensures the airtightness of the connection between the first connecting flange 3 and the base plate 4.

[0026] Furthermore:

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the feed cylinder 8 is connected to the sedimentation cylinder 5, and the sedimentation cylinder 5 has a frustum-shaped structure.

[0028] In this implementation scheme: the bottom of the frustum-shaped sedimentation cylinder 5 can settle more sediment, and it is also easier to clean the sediment inside.

[0029] Furthermore:

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the bottom 12 of the wine storage tank has an arc-shaped structure, and the body 1 of the wine storage tank is connected to the feeding cylinder 8.

[0031] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped bottom 12 of the wine storage tank can effectively guide the sediment into the interior of the sedimentation cylinder 5, while preventing the sediment from settling on the bottom 12 of the wine storage tank.

[0032] Working principle: When using this wine storage tank that facilitates the cleaning of sediment, firstly, the bottom plate 4 is installed to the bottom of the sedimentation cylinder 5 using bolts and the first connecting flange 3. The second sealing gasket 10 is sandwiched between the first connecting flange 3 and the bottom plate 4. Then, the sedimentation cylinder 5 is installed below the second connecting flange 6 using bolts, the second connecting flange 6, and the third connecting flange 11. The first sealing gasket 9 is sandwiched between the second connecting flange 6 and the third connecting flange 11. Next, wine is injected into the interior of the wine storage tank body 1 through the manhole 7, and then the manhole cover 13 is closed. On the manhole 7, the manhole cover 13 is a 304 stainless steel pressure manhole cover, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the wine is stored inside the storage tank body 1, the sediment will slide down the bottom 12 of the storage tank to the discharge cylinder 8, and then enter the sedimentation cylinder 5 for sedimentation. After the wine is discharged from the storage tank body 1, the sediment in the storage tank is cleaned by disassembling the sedimentation cylinder 5 and then disassembling the bottom plate 4. The sediment inside the sedimentation cylinder 5 can then be cleaned. This is the working principle of the storage tank that facilitates the cleaning of sediment.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
