Description

Technical Field

[0002] Whisky barrels are generally made of oak. Internationally, the carbonization of whisky barrels is done using natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas as fuel. However, to facilitate the detection of leaks, the odorant content of natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas in China is relatively high. Therefore, the fuel standards of natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas in China are unfavorable for the toasting and carbonization of brewing barrels, and are prone to producing odor pollution.

[0003] Natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas have strong odors and can easily cause odor pollution to the barrels. Therefore, scraps from oak barrel production are used as fuel. However, it is difficult for wood blocks to achieve the temperature and heat output required for rapid carbonization of oak barrels when burned naturally in traditional wood-fired stoves.

[0004] Therefore, a barrel carbonization device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a barrel carbonization device, which includes a base 1, a transmission mechanism on the base 1, a rotating mechanism and a charcoal oven 4 on the transmission mechanism.

[0031] A transmission mechanism is used to transport the wine barrels to the charcoal grill at point 4.

[0032] A rotating mechanism is used to rotate the barrel at a constant speed to ensure uniform carbonization of the barrel.

[0033] The charcoal grill 4 is equipped with a partition 41, on which multiple ash leakage holes 42 are evenly arranged. A ventilation pipe 43 is arranged below the partition 41. An air inlet 44 is arranged on the side wall of the charcoal grill 4 away from the transmission mechanism. The ventilation pipe 43 connects the air inlet 44 and an ash leakage hole 42. An air pipe 7 is arranged inside the ventilation pipe 43. An air pump 6 is connected to the air inlet end of the air pipe 7. A control valve 8 for controlling the gas flow is arranged on the air pipe 7.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4 Specifically, the charcoal oven 4 has an opening at the top, and top plates are provided on both sides of the top of the oven. The opening is located in the middle of the top plates. The top plates can better concentrate the flames and increase the combustion temperature. The charcoal oven 4 has a horizontal partition 41 inside, with multiple ash leakage holes 42 evenly distributed on the partition 41. A ventilation pipe 43 is provided below the partition 41. The ventilation pipe 43 is made of metal, preferably stainless steel. An air inlet 44 is provided on the side wall of the charcoal oven 4 away from the transmission mechanism. The ventilation pipe 43 is an "L"-shaped pipe, connecting the air inlet 44 and an ash leakage hole 42. An air pipe 7 is provided inside the ventilation pipe 43. The air pipe 7 can replenish the charcoal oven with air, thereby controlling the combustion efficiency of the wood in the charcoal oven. An air pump 6 is connected to the air inlet end of the air pipe 7, and a control valve 8 for controlling the gas flow is provided on the air pipe 7.

[0036] Specifically, a support frame 51 is installed on the side of the base 1 near the charcoal grill 4. Two columns 52 are installed on the support frame 51, and a support plate 53 is installed on the two columns 52. A fixing pipe 54 is installed on the support plate 53, and a movable fixing plate 55 is installed inside the fixing pipe 54. The fixing plate 55 moves in the direction of chain drive. One end of the fixing plate 55 is connected to the charcoal grill 4. The fixing plate 55 is a hollow structure. An inlet 551 is provided at the top of the fixing pipe 54 and the fixing plate 55. The gas pipe 7 passes through the inlet 551, through the fixing plate 55 and the air inlet 44 on the charcoal grill, and extends into the ventilation pipe 7. The inlet of the gas pipe 7 is connected to the outlet of the air pump 6. A control valve 8 is installed on the gas pipe 7. The control valve 8 can control the gas flow rate in the gas pipe 7, thereby controlling the flame temperature in the charcoal grill. An alarm 9 is installed on the air pump 6. When gas leakage occurs, the alarm 9 sounds an alarm to improve the safety of the device.

[0037] Specifically, the support plate 53 is height-adjustable and mounted on the column 52. The structure for achieving the lifting function includes, but is not limited to, screw drive, gear drive, and worm gear drive. The power source for the lifting function includes motor drive and manual operation. It should be noted that the charcoal grill 4 is located inside the barrel when it is working, so the lifting distance does not need to be too high.

[0038] Specifically, the transmission mechanism includes a support base 21, a transmission shaft 22, a motor A23, a drive wheel A24, a driven wheel A25, and a chain A26. There are four support bases 21, which are fixedly installed at the four corners of the base 1. The transmission shaft 22 passes through two support bases 21 in the direction of chain A26 movement. The motor A23 is fixedly installed on the base 1 and located between two support bases 21 perpendicular to the chain transmission direction. The drive wheel A24 is installed on the output shaft of the motor A23. The driven wheel A25 is installed on the base 1. The chain A26 is connected to the drive wheel A24 and the driven wheel A25.

[0039] Understandably, when motor A23 is working, the drive wheel A24 rotates and, in conjunction with the driven wheel B34, drives chain A26 to move, transmitting the support plate 53 on chain A26 to the charcoal oven 4, where the barrel on the support plate 53 is charred.

[0040] Specifically, the rotating mechanism includes a platform 31, a motor B32, a drive wheel B33, a driven wheel B34, a chain B35, a rotating shaft 36, a fixed seat 37, a fixed hinge seat 38, a rotating wheel 391, and a rotating wheel 392. The platform 31 is slidably mounted on the rotating rod. Two fixed seats 37 and two fixed hinge seats 38 are provided. The two fixed seats 37 are mounted on the platform 31 along the transmission direction of the chain A26, and the two fixed hinge seats 38 are mounted on the platform 31 along the transmission direction of the chain A26. The two fixed hinge seats 38 and the two fixed seats 37 are arranged in parallel. The motor B32 is mounted on the platform 31. The drive shaft B is mounted on the output shaft of the motor B32. The driven wheel B34 is mounted on one fixed seat 37. The rotating shaft 36 is rotatably mounted on the two fixed seats 37. The rotating wheel 391 is mounted on the rotating shaft 36, and the rotating wheel 392 is mounted on the fixed hinge seat 38.

[0041] Understandably, when motor B32 operates, the drive wheel B33, in conjunction with the driven wheel B34, drives chain B35 to rotate, causing shaft 36 to rotate. This, in turn, drives wheel 391 to rotate, which in turn drives the barrel on platform 31 to rotate. Simultaneously, wheel 392 is also driven to rotate, ensuring the barrel rotates at a uniform speed for more even carbonization. It is important to note that the bottom of the charcoal grill 4 is higher than platform 31 to prevent the grill from touching and damaging the barrel.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Reference Figure 5 Based on Embodiment 1, reinforcing ribs 45 are provided inside the charcoal grill 4. The reinforcing ribs 45 are positioned above the partition 41 and between the two long plates of the charcoal grill 4. Furthermore, multiple reinforcing ribs 45 are provided to further enhance the support for the charcoal grill 4. Preferably, the reinforcing ribs 45 are made of square steel. It is understood that the carbonization temperature of wine barrels is generally high, typically around 800°C. 0 Above C, under high temperature conditions, the charcoal grill 4 is prone to deformation. Therefore, reinforcing ribs 45 are set to improve the stability of the charcoal grill 45 and at the same time make the flame combustion more stable.

[0044] During use, the wood inside the charcoal oven 4 is ignited, motor A23 is started, and the platform 31 is transported to the charcoal oven 4 through the transmission mechanism. Then, motor B32 is started to make the barrel rotate at a uniform speed. The air pump 6 is started, and gas enters the charcoal oven 4 from the air pipe 7 through the ventilation pipe 43. During the carbonization of the barrel in the charcoal oven 4, the firepower of the burning wood is insufficient to meet the process requirements. Therefore, air is supplemented into the charcoal oven through the air pipe 7 to increase the combustion temperature and meet the requirements of the barrel carbonization process. During the gas supplementation process, the control valve 8 can be adjusted to regulate the air intake and gas flow rate to adapt to different combustion temperatures.

[0045] It should be noted that the entire carbonization process is controlled by an external controller, which is not shown in the diagram.

[0046] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
