Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine storage technology, specifically a wine storage tank with a temperature control system. Background Technology

[0002] Wine storage tanks are containers specifically designed for storing alcoholic beverages. They are mainly used in the brewing, transportation, and sales processes. Their core function is to stabilize the quality of the wine, delay oxidation, and maintain its flavor. They are made of various materials, commonly including stainless steel, earthenware jars, and oak barrels. The choice of material for wine storage tanks depends on the characteristics of the wine and the storage requirements. They are key equipment in the wine storage process.

[0003] Existing wine storage tanks lack internal temperature control structures, making the wine temperature susceptible to fluctuations in low-temperature winter environments. The internal temperature may even exceed the suitable storage range for wine, directly threatening the quality of the wine inside the tank. Therefore, we provide a wine storage tank with a temperature control system. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a wine storage tank with a temperature control system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wine storage tank with a temperature control system, comprising a tank body, a constant temperature wall fixedly connected to the center of the inner cavity of the tank body, and a heating tube fixedly connected between the constant temperature wall and the inner wall of the tank body, temperature control devices fixedly connected to both ends of the heating tube, a top plug installed at the top of the inner cavity of the tank body, and a temperature probe fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the top plug, a pressure relief pipe fixedly connected to one side of the top of the tank body, and a sealing component fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the pressure relief pipe, a limit component fixedly connected to the center of the inner cavity of the pressure relief pipe, and a sealing component slidably connected to the center of the inner cavity of the limit component, and a compression spring sleeved on the outer wall of the sealing component, with the compression spring located at the center of the inner cavity of the pressure relief pipe.

[0006] As mentioned above, a vacuum insulation layer is provided between the inner wall of the tank and the constant temperature wall, and a heating tube is provided inside the vacuum insulation layer.

[0007] As described above, the heating tube is fixed to the outer wall of the constant temperature wall in a spiral winding manner.

[0008] As described above, the two ends of the heating tube pass through the inner wall of the tank, and the two ends of the heating tube are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the temperature control device. The temperature probe is connected to the temperature control device by wires, and the temperature probe is located at the center of the inner cavity of the tank.

[0009] As described above, the bottom outer wall of the sealing component is provided with an annular groove, and the inclined surface of the sealing component is provided with an annular protrusion, which is embedded in the annular groove.

[0010] As described above, the bottom surface of the limiting component has a mounting groove at its center, one end of the compression spring abuts against the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the bottom outer wall of the sealing component.

[0011] As described above, the sealing assembly is generally in the shape of an inverted umbrella, and the limiting assembly has multiple air holes at the top edge.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this wine storage tank with a temperature control system has the following advantages:

[0013] I. This utility model can monitor the temperature of the liquid inside the tank in real time by setting a temperature probe in the center of the tank. When the temperature is lower than the target temperature, the temperature probe will immediately send a signal to the temperature control device to trigger the heating tube to start heating. Since the heating tube is fixed to the outer wall of the constant temperature wall in a spiral winding manner, it can evenly cover the area around the constant temperature wall. Heat is slowly transferred to the liquid through the constant temperature wall to avoid local overheating. At the same time, the vacuum insulation layer between the inner wall of the tank and the constant temperature wall can effectively block the intrusion of low temperature from the outside and reduce the loss of heat after heating.

[0014] II. When gas is generated inside the can, the gas pushes the sealing component upward as the pressure continues to increase. Under pressure, the sealing component moves upward and compresses the compression spring at its top. The originally closed pressure relief channel gradually opens, allowing excess gas to escape from the vent. Once the pressure inside the can drops to a safe range, the compression spring pushes the sealing component downward to reset. The annular groove at its bottom then tightly engages with the annular protrusion, resealing the can. This reduces the contact between the wine and the outside air during gas release, lowers the risk of oxidation, maintains a micro-pressure environment inside the can, and ensures the flavor of the wine.

[0015] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following examination or study, or may be taught from the practice of this invention.

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a wine storage tank with a temperature control system, including a tank body 1, a constant temperature wall 2 fixedly connected to the center of the inner cavity of the tank body 1, and a heating tube 201 fixedly connected between the constant temperature wall 2 and the inner wall of the tank body 1, a temperature control device 202 fixedly connected to both ends of the heating tube 201, a top plug 203 installed at the top of the inner cavity of the tank body 1, and a temperature probe 204 fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the top plug 203, a pressure relief pipe 3 fixedly connected to one side of the top of the tank body 1, and a sealing component 301 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner cavity of the pressure relief pipe 3, a limit component 302 fixedly connected to the center of the inner cavity of the pressure relief pipe 3, and a sealing component 303 slidably connected to the center of the inner cavity of the limit component 302, and a compression spring 304 sleeved on the outer wall of the sealing component 303, and the compression spring 304 is located at the center of the inner cavity of the pressure relief pipe 3.

[0024] When the temperature is lower than the target temperature, the temperature probe 204 will immediately send a signal back to the temperature control device 202, triggering the heating tube 201 to start heating. Since the heating tube 201 is fixed to the outer wall of the constant temperature wall 2 in a spiral winding manner, it can evenly cover the area around the constant temperature wall 2, and the heat is slowly transferred to the wine through the constant temperature wall 2.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, a vacuum insulation layer 205 is provided between the inner wall of the tank 1 and the constant temperature wall 2, and a heating tube 201 is provided inside the vacuum insulation layer 205.

[0026] The vacuum insulation layer 205 is set between the inner wall of the tank 1 and the constant temperature wall 2. The vacuum environment blocks the direct conduction of external temperature, preventing the intrusion of low temperature in winter and reducing the heat penetration in summer. This significantly reduces the impact of environmental fluctuations on the internal temperature of the tank 1. The heating pipe 201 is installed inside the vacuum insulation layer 205 to prevent heat loss to the outside of the tank 1.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the heating tube 201 is fixed to the outer wall of the constant temperature wall 2 in a spiral winding manner.

[0028] The heating tube 201 is spirally wound around the outer wall of the constant temperature wall 2, which can increase the contact area between the heating tube 201 and the constant temperature wall 2, so that the heat can be evenly distributed on the surface of the constant temperature wall 2. It can also extend the coverage path of the heating tube 201 outside the constant temperature wall 2, ensuring that the wine is heated more evenly in different areas.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the two ends of the heating tube 201 pass through the inner wall of the tank 1, and the two ends of the heating tube 201 are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the temperature control device 202. The temperature probe 204 is wired to the temperature control device 202, and the temperature probe 204 is located at the center of the inner cavity of the tank 1.

[0030] Temperature probe 204 monitors the center temperature of the wine in real time. If it is lower than the target value, temperature control device 202 immediately starts heating tube 201 and automatically stops after the temperature reaches the target value to avoid overheating.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom outer wall of the sealing component 303 is provided with an annular groove 305, and the inclined surface of the sealing component 301 is provided with an annular protrusion 306, and the annular protrusion 306 is embedded in the annular groove 305.

[0032] The annular groove 305 at the bottom of the sealing component 303 and the annular protrusion 306 on the inclined surface of the sealing component 301 fit together, increasing the contact area between the sealing component 303 and the sealing component 301, which can effectively prevent gas leakage in the tank under non-pressure relief conditions.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom center of the limiting component 302 has an installation groove 307, one end of the outer wall of the compression spring 304 abuts against the inner wall of the installation groove 307, and the other end of the outer wall of the compression spring 304 abuts against the bottom outer wall of the sealing component 303.

[0034] When the pressure inside the tank increases, the sealing component 303 moves upward, and the compression spring 304 is compressed evenly. After the pressure decreases, the compression spring 304 can accurately push the sealing component 303 to reset, ensuring that the opening and closing of the pressure relief pipe 3 is always stable and reliable.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the sealing component 303 is generally shaped like an inverted umbrella, and multiple air holes 308 are provided at the top edge of the limiting component 302.

[0036] The vents 308 are distributed on the edge of the limiting component 302, allowing gas to flow out of the tank 1 from all sides, thus improving the pressure relief efficiency.

[0037] Working principle: The vacuum insulation layer 205 is set between the inner wall of the tank 1 and the constant temperature wall 2. The vacuum environment blocks direct conduction of external temperature, preventing the intrusion of low temperatures in winter and reducing heat penetration in summer, significantly reducing the impact of environmental fluctuations on the internal temperature of the tank 1. The heating tube 201 is installed inside the vacuum insulation layer 205, preventing heat loss to the outside of the tank 1. The heating tube 201 is spirally wound around the outer wall of the constant temperature wall 2, increasing the contact area between the heating tube 201 and the constant temperature wall 2, allowing heat to be evenly distributed on the surface of the constant temperature wall 2. It also extends the coverage path of the heating tube 201 outside the constant temperature wall 2, ensuring more even heating of all areas of the liquid. The temperature probe 204 monitors the center temperature of the liquid in real time. If it is lower than the target value, the temperature control... The device 202 immediately activates the heating element 201 and automatically stops after the temperature reaches the target to avoid overheating. The annular groove 305 at the bottom of the sealing component 303 and the annular protrusion 306 on the inclined surface of the sealing component 301 interlock, increasing the contact area between the sealing component 303 and the sealing component 301. This effectively prevents gas leakage from the tank when it is not under pressure relief. When the pressure inside the tank increases, the compression spring 304 is uniformly compressed as the sealing component 303 moves upward. After the pressure decreases, the compression spring 304 can accurately push the sealing component 303 to reset, ensuring that the opening and closing of the pressure relief pipe 3 is always stable and reliable. The vents 308 are distributed on the edge of the limiting component 302, allowing gas to flow out of the tank 1 from all sides, thus improving the pressure relief efficiency.

[0038] 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.
