Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine cap presser technology, and specifically discloses a wine cap presser. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, wine is increasingly becoming a part of their lives. During fermentation, the grape skins rise to the top of the juice, reducing the contact area between the skins and the juice. This makes it difficult for the pigments and tannins in the skins to dissolve effectively, negatively impacting the color and aroma of the wine. Therefore, a cap-pressing process is necessary to ensure that the grape skins are submerged in the juice as much as possible.

[0003] The wine capping device disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN216663005U includes a gripping rod, a pressing plate, and a flexible ring plate. The gripping rod has a handle at its top. The pressing plate is connected to the lower end of the gripping rod and extends outward and downward from its axis, with a through hole. The flexible ring plate is located around the outer ring of the pressing plate, and its outer edge can rise upward and adhere to the surface of the grape juice when the pressing plate is pressed down. This wine capping device allows the pressing plate at the lower end of the gripping rod to directly act on the grape skins inside the fermentation tank, pressing the skins into the grape juice. The through hole facilitates gas passage, reducing pressing resistance. The outward and downward tilt of the pressing plate gives its top surface a slight taper, allowing the skins to fall off naturally. The flexible ring plate increases the pressing area of ​​the pressing plate, improving capping efficiency.

[0004] The aforementioned device requires repeated manual operation during use, which is labor-intensive. It is especially difficult to fully cover large fermentation tanks, and the manual capping force is difficult to standardize, affecting the consistency of tannin and pigment extraction. Therefore, a wine capping device is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a wine cap presser, which uses gear and rack transmission to control the alternating lifting and lowering of two conical discs, standardizes the pressure, improves the consistency of tannin and pigment extraction, and automatically presses the cap, saving time and effort.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a wine cap presser includes a support plate, and a cap pressing mechanism is provided below the support plate;

[0007] The cap-pressing mechanism includes a vertical plate, a gear rotatably connected to the front end of the vertical plate, two symmetrically distributed racks meshing with the outer wall of the gear, mounting plates fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two racks, fixing plates detachably connected to the lower ends of the two mounting plates by bolts, support rods fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two fixing plates, and conical disks fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two support rods. A first motor is mounted on the upper end of the support disk, and the output end of the first motor passes through the support disk and is fixedly connected to the vertical plate.

[0008] Limiting mechanisms are provided at both ends of the support plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting mechanism includes an L-shaped plate fixedly connected to a support plate, a support platform fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped plate, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate, and an anti-slip limiting pad fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod near the vertical plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the wine cap presser of this utility model, a second motor with its output end fixedly connected to a gear is installed at the rear end of the vertical plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the wine cap presser of this utility model, the front end of the vertical plate has two T-shaped grooves that are symmetrically distributed from left to right, and the two racks are slidably connected to the two T-shaped grooves by T-shaped sliders.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the wine cap presser of this utility model, the lower end of the support plate is provided with an annular groove, and the upper end of the vertical plate is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed vertical rods, both of which are slidably connected to the annular groove.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the wine cap presser of this utility model, the upper and lower ends of the two racks are fixedly connected to limit plates, and the upper end of the support plate has two symmetrically distributed through holes.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the wine cap presser of this utility model, the conical disc has multiple through holes evenly distributed on its surface.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. Automated and efficient cap pressing

[0017] The motor-driven gear-rack transmission mechanism enables the two conical discs to alternately rise and fall, forming a continuous wave-like cap-pressing action, which significantly improves cap-pressing efficiency and avoids the labor intensity and instability of manual operation.

[0018] 2. Uniformly break up the slag layer

[0019] The alternating movement of the double conical discs ensures that the grape skins and pomace are evenly crushed in the fermentation tank, promoting full contact between the wine and solids and enhancing the extraction of flavor substances such as pigments and tannins.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 A wine cap presser includes a support plate 1, and a cap pressing mechanism is provided below the support plate 1;

[0028] The cap pressing mechanism includes a vertical plate 3. A gear 4 is rotatably connected to the front end of the vertical plate 3. Two symmetrically distributed racks 5 are meshed on the outer wall of the gear 4. Mounting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two racks 5. Fixing plates 14 are detachably connected to the lower ends of the two mounting plates 6 by bolts. Support rods 7 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two fixing plates 14. Conical disks 15 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two support rods 7. A first motor 2 is installed on the upper end of the support disk 1. The output end of the first motor 2 passes through the support disk 1 and is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 3.

[0029] Limiting mechanisms are provided at both ends of the support plate 1.

[0030] In this embodiment: First, the capping mechanism is installed on the upper end of the fermentation tank through the limiting mechanism. The first motor 2 is started, and its output shaft drives the vertical plate 3 to rotate around the central axis of the support plate 1, so that the entire capping mechanism makes a circular motion in the fermentation tank, ensuring that the capping covers the entire liquid surface. The gear 4 meshes with two symmetrically distributed racks 5. When the gear 4 rotates, the two racks 5 make linear motions in opposite directions, one rising and the other falling. The up and down movement of the racks 5 is transmitted to the conical plate 15 through the mounting plate 6, the fixing plate 14 and the support rod 7. The two conical plates 15 are in an alternating up and down state. When one presses down, the other lifts up, forming a continuous wave-like capping action, which effectively breaks the grape skin and pomace layer. This process has high capping efficiency and does not require manual capping.

[0031] The removable fixing plate 14 facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the conical disc 15.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 16 fixedly connected to the support plate 1, a support platform 9 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 16, a threaded rod 10 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 16, and an anti-slip limiting pad 11 fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 10 near the vertical plate 3.

[0033] In this embodiment: the upper ends of the two support platforms 9 are respectively placed on the upper sides of the fermentation tank, and the pressure cap mechanism is located at the opening of the fermentation tank. By rotating the two threaded rods 10, the anti-slip limiting pad 11 connected to them can be driven to move towards the outer wall of the fermentation tank. When the anti-slip limiting pad 11 is in close contact with the outer wall of the fermentation tank, the L-shaped plate 16 and the support plate 1 can be limited to prevent them from rotating axially.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a second motor 17 with its output end fixedly connected to the gear 4 is installed at the rear end of the vertical plate 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the gear 4 can be easily driven to rotate by the second motor 17.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the front end of the vertical plate 3 has two T-shaped grooves that are symmetrically distributed on the left and right, and the two racks 5 are slidably connected to the two T-shaped grooves through T-shaped sliders.

[0037] In this embodiment: by sliding the T-shaped slider to the two T-shaped grooves, the movement trajectory of the two racks 5 can be limited, and the stability of the movement of the two racks 5 can be increased.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the lower end of the support plate 1 is provided with an annular groove, and the upper end of the vertical plate 3 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed vertical rods that are slidably connected to the annular groove.

[0039] In this embodiment, during the rotation of the vertical plate 3, the two vertical rods slide along the annular groove, which can increase the stability of the rotation of the vertical plate 3.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the upper and lower end faces of the two racks 5 are fixedly connected to the limit plates 13, and the upper end of the support plate 1 has two symmetrically distributed through holes 12.

[0041] In this embodiment: the maximum movement range of the rack 5 can be limited by the limiting plate 13, and the two racks 5 can pass through the through hole 12 for easy up and down movement.

[0042] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the conical disk 15 has multiple through holes 8 evenly distributed on its surface.

[0043] In this embodiment, the juice can flow through the through hole 8.

[0044] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the upper ends of the two support platforms 9 are placed on the upper sides of the fermentation tank, so that the pressure cap mechanism is located at the opening of the fermentation tank. By rotating the two threaded rods 10, the anti-slip limiting pad 11 connected to them can be driven to move towards the outer wall of the fermentation tank. When the anti-slip limiting pad 11 is in close contact with the outer wall of the fermentation tank, it can limit the L-shaped plate 16 and the support plate 1 to prevent them from rotating axially.

[0045] Then, the first motor 2 is started, and its output shaft drives the vertical plate 3 to rotate around the central axis of the support plate 1, so that the entire capping mechanism makes a circular motion inside the fermentation tank, ensuring that the capping covers the entire liquid surface. The gear 4 meshes with two symmetrically distributed racks 5. When the gear 4 rotates, the two racks 5 make linear movements in opposite directions, one rising and the other falling. The up and down movement of the racks 5 is transmitted to the conical plate 15 through the mounting plate 6, the fixing plate 14 and the support rod 7. The two conical plates 15 are in an alternating up and down state, one pressing down and the other lifting, forming a continuous wave-like capping action, which effectively breaks the grape skin and pomace layer. This process has high capping efficiency and does not require manual capping.
