Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bamboo wine production technology, specifically to a bamboo wine connection device suitable for bamboo forest brewing. Background Technology

[0002] Bamboo wine, as a unique type of alcoholic beverage, has gained increasing popularity among consumers in recent years. Its brewing process typically involves injecting high-quality base liquor into fresh bamboo nodes, allowing the liquor to grow and ferment naturally within the bamboo, absorbing its nutrients and natural aromas, thus giving the wine its unique taste and flavor. However, brewing bamboo wine in bamboo forests presents numerous inconveniences in the two crucial steps of injecting the liquor into the bamboo nodes and extracting the liquor from them, severely impacting the efficiency and quality of the brewing process.

[0003] In terms of injection, traditional methods mostly rely on syringes or simple diversion devices. Syringes inject a small amount of wine at a time, making large-scale brewing cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive; simple diversion devices make it difficult to accurately control the flow rate and direction, easily causing the wine to spill and be wasted, and also contaminating the bamboo sections.

[0004] In the extraction process, the traditional method of cutting open bamboo sections with a knife to extract the wine not only completely damages the bamboo sections and increases costs, but also may cause bamboo shavings to mix into the wine. Moreover, the pressure inside the bamboo sections and the viscosity of the wine make the wine flow out slowly, resulting in low extraction efficiency. This leads to longer production cycles and increased costs during large-scale brewing. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bamboo wine connecting device suitable for bamboo forest brewing, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A bamboo wine brewing device suitable for bamboo forests includes a bamboo section for brewing bamboo wine, as well as a wine storage tank and a wine storage tank. A wine inlet is opened on one side of the upper end of the bamboo section, and a first silicone tube is connected to the wine inlet. A wine outlet is opened on one side of the lower end of the bamboo section, and a second silicone tube is connected to the wine outlet. The wine storage tank is connected to the wine inlet through the first connecting tube, and the wine outlet is connected to the wine storage tank through the second connecting tube.

[0008] It also includes a control system, which is used to control the storage tank to fill the bamboo section with wine and to control the storage tank to collect the wine from the bamboo section.

[0009] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: An inlet and an outlet are respectively opened at the upper and lower ends of the bamboo section. The gaps between the inlet and the first silicone tube, and between the outlet and the second silicone tube, are sealed with beeswax or food-grade paraffin wax (specifically, beeswax or food-grade paraffin wax is heated and melted, then evenly coated or dripped onto the surface of the holes, and after cooling and solidification, a solid sealing layer is formed). The storage tank is connected to the first silicone tube via a first connecting pipe. Under the control of the control system, the wine is transported into the bamboo section for brewing. After a certain brewing time, the control system then controls the second connecting pipe connected to the storage tank to generate negative pressure, thereby collecting the brewed wine inside the bamboo section into the storage tank, thus realizing automated control of the filling and collecting processes in the bamboo wine brewing process.

[0010] Furthermore, the wine inlet is connected to the first connecting tube via a first silicone tube, and the wine outlet is connected to the second connecting tube via a second silicone tube.

[0011] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: Both the first and second silicone tubes can be made of silicone rubber, which has high and low temperature resistance and can maintain elasticity in an environment from -60℃ to 250℃. It is chemically stable, does not react chemically with common alcoholic beverage components, is non-toxic and odorless, meets food hygiene standards, and can adapt well to the shape of the inlet and outlet holes during installation, and is not likely to damage the bamboo joints.

[0012] Furthermore, a flow sensor and a first solenoid valve are installed at one end of the first connecting pipe that connects to the wine storage tank, and a second solenoid valve is installed at the other end of the first connecting pipe that connects to the wine inlet.

[0013] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: When filling the bamboo section with wine, the control system simultaneously opens the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve. Then, the wine in the storage tank is injected into the space inside the bamboo section through the first connecting pipe. The control system is pre-set with the dosage data of the wine to be injected into the bamboo section. When the flow sensor senses that the wine flowing through the first connecting pipe has reached the set dosage, the control system first closes the first solenoid valve. After all the wine has flowed into the bamboo section through the second connecting pipe, the second solenoid valve is closed, so that the wine is completely brewed inside the bamboo section.

[0014] Furthermore, a third solenoid valve is installed at the end of the second connecting pipe that connects to the wine outlet.

[0015] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: After the bamboo wine brewing is completed, the control system opens the third solenoid valve, so that the brewed wine flows through the wine outlet through the second connecting pipe and finally into the wine storage tank.

[0016] Furthermore, the control system includes a PLC controller and an automatic flow circuit control board, both of which are installed on the wine storage tank. The PLC controller is wirelessly connected to the first, second, and third solenoid valves, and the automatic flow circuit control board is connected to the flow sensor via pulse signals.

[0017] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: The flow sensor continuously monitors the flow rate of the liquid in the pipeline and sends the flow information to the automatic flow control circuit board in the form of pulse signals. The frequency or number of pulse signals is proportional to the flow rate, so the flow data can be accurately obtained by analyzing the pulse signals.

[0018] Furthermore, a clamp is fitted onto the bamboo joint. The clamp consists of a ring structure composed of two semi-circular plates. One end of the two semi-circular plates is connected by a hinge, and the other end is detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​assembly. A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are fixedly installed on the clamp.

[0019] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: the clamp composed of two semi-circular plates is fitted onto the bamboo joint through the hinge and snap-fit ​​assembly, and the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the bamboo joint is located are monitored by the temperature sensor and humidity sensor fixed on the clamp.

[0020] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate. The first fixing plate is fixedly connected to one of the semi-circular arc plates, and the second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the other semi-circular arc plate. An mounting block is provided on the side of the first fixing plate, and a snap-fit ​​hole is opened on the top surface of the mounting block. A limiting frame adapted to the mounting block is provided on the side of the second fixing plate, and a snap-fit ​​block adapted to the snap-fit ​​hole is movably connected to the second fixing plate.

[0021] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: When the clamp is closed, the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are brought close together, so that the mounting block on the side of the first fixing plate is embedded into the corresponding limiting frame on the side of the second fixing plate. Then, the movable card block on the second fixing plate is pushed so that it is locked into the card hole on the top surface of the mounting block, thereby realizing a stable and detachable connection between the two semi-circular plates.

[0022] Furthermore, the second fixed plate above the limiting frame has a movable cavity inside, the bottom end of the card block passes through the movable cavity and is located inside the limiting frame, a limiting block is fixedly installed on the card block, the limiting block is located inside the movable cavity, a return spring is installed inside the movable cavity, the two ends of the return spring are connected to the top surface of the limiting block and the top surface of the inner wall of the movable cavity respectively, and are sleeved on the card block.

[0023] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: First, pull the locking block upward to move it upward in the movable cavity, which will drive the limiting block to move upward together and compress the reset spring. After the locking block is released, the reset spring will push the limiting block downward due to its own elastic restoring force, which will then drive the locking block to reset, so that the locking block can be stably positioned in the locking hole, making it easy to fix the clamp on the bamboo joint.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] 1. In the wine filling process, the PLC controller controls the opening of the first and second solenoid valves. In the wine collection process, the PLC controller opens the third solenoid valve, thereby automating the wine filling and collection process, reducing manual operation, improving production efficiency, and reducing labor costs.

[0026] 2. The flow sensor works in conjunction with the automatic flow control circuit board, using a core microprocessor to monitor and precisely regulate the flow in real time, ensuring that the liquid has a suitable flow rate and volume when entering and exiting the bamboo joint, thus guaranteeing the stability and consistency of the bamboo wine brewing process and improving the quality of the bamboo wine.

[0027] 3. After the first batch of bamboo wine is brewed and the liquid is completely drained, the bamboo enters a one-month rest period. During this time, the device remains closed to avoid disturbing the bamboo nodes, allowing them ample time to recover their physiological functions and accumulate flavor compounds. One month later, the control system, through a PLC controller, automatic flow control circuit board, and flow sensor, can quickly and accurately restart the wine injection process, allowing the liquid to enter the bamboo nodes at a suitable flow rate and volume for a new round of brewing. This ensures that the bamboo nodes fully recover during the rest period, achieves efficient connection of the brewing process, improves the overall efficiency and quality stability of bamboo wine brewing, and also promotes the sustainable use of bamboo forest resources, extends the lifespan of the bamboo nodes, and reduces brewing costs.

[0041] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a bamboo wine brewing device suitable for bamboo forests, including a bamboo section 1 for brewing bamboo wine, and a wine storage tank 2 and a wine storage tank 3. A wine inlet 4 is opened on one side of the upper end of the bamboo section 1, and a first silicone tube 6 is connected to the wine inlet 4. A wine outlet 5 is opened on one side of the lower end of the bamboo section 1, and a second silicone tube 7 is connected to the wine outlet 5.

The diameter of both the inlet hole 4 and the outlet hole 5 is 0.8-1.2cm. The diameter of 0.8-1.2cm can ensure that the wine has a suitable flow rate and flow when entering and exiting the bamboo section 1. The storage tank 2 is connected to the inlet hole 4 through the first connecting pipe 8. The two ends of the first connecting pipe 8 are respectively connected to the outlet of the storage tank 2 and one end of the first silicone tube 6. The outlet hole 5 is connected to the storage tank 3 through the second connecting pipe 9. The two ends of the second connecting pipe 9 are respectively connected to the inlet of the storage tank 3 and one end of the second silicone tube 7.

[0042] A flow sensor 10 and a first solenoid valve 11 are installed at one end of the first connecting pipe 8 that is connected to the wine storage tank 2. A second solenoid valve 12 is installed at one end of the first connecting pipe 8 that is connected to the wine inlet 4. A third solenoid valve 13 is installed at one end of the second connecting pipe 9 that is connected to the wine outlet 5.

[0043] The control system 14 includes a PLC controller and an automatic flow control circuit board. Both the PLC controller and the automatic flow control circuit board are installed on the wine storage tank 3. The PLC controller is wirelessly connected to the first solenoid valve 11, the second solenoid valve 12, and the third solenoid valve 13. The automatic flow control circuit board is connected to the flow sensor 10 via pulse signals. The operator presets various parameters for injecting wine, such as injection flow rate, injection time, and the amount of wine injected into each section 1, through the human-machine interface (HMI) of the PLC controller. According to the set parameters, the PLC controller sends control commands to the automatic flow control circuit board, which includes information such as the target flow rate value. After receiving the command from the PLC, the automatic flow control circuit board starts the flow control program, monitors the injection flow rate in real time through the connected flow sensor 10, and feeds back the actual flow rate value to its internal controller. At the same time, the automatic flow control circuit board uploads the real-time flow data to the PLC controller for monitoring and recording (both the PLC controller and the automatic flow control circuit board are mature technologies in the existing technical field, and can realize the various functions described in this application with the help of specific coding programs).

[0044] A clamp 15 is fitted onto the bamboo joint 1. The clamp 15 comprises a ring structure consisting of two semi-circular plates. One end of the two semi-circular plates is connected by a hinge, and the other end is detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​assembly 18. A temperature sensor 16 and a humidity sensor 17 are fixedly installed on the clamp 15. Both the temperature sensor 16 and the humidity sensor 17 are wirelessly connected to the PLC controller. The temperature and humidity of the environment in which the bamboo joint 1 is located are monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 16 and the humidity sensor 17. The temperature and humidity data of the environment in which the bamboo joint 1 is located can be obtained in real time and transmitted to the PLC controller. This helps to understand the changes in the growth environment of the bamboo joint 1 in a timely manner and provides data support for the maintenance and research of the bamboo joint 1. The snap-fit ​​assembly 18 includes a first fixing plate 181 and a second fixing plate 182. The first fixing plate 181 is fixedly connected to one of the semi-circular arc plates, and the second fixing plate 182 is fixedly connected to the other semi-circular arc plate. A mounting block 183 is provided on the side of the first fixing plate 181, and a snap-fit ​​hole 184 is provided on the top surface of the mounting block 183.

A movable cavity 187 is provided inside the second fixing plate 182 above the limiting frame 186, and the bottom end of the snap-fit ​​block 185 passes through the movable cavity 187 and is located inside the limiting frame 186. A limiting block 188 is fixedly installed inside the movable cavity 187. A return spring 189 is installed inside the movable cavity 187. The two ends of the return spring 189 are connected to the top surface of the limiting block 188 and the top surface of the inner wall of the movable cavity 187, respectively, and are sleeved on the locking block 185. Pulling the locking block 185 upward causes it to move upward within the movable cavity 187, which in turn moves the limiting block 188 upward and compresses the return spring 189. After releasing the locking block 185, the return spring 189 pushes the limiting block 188 downward due to its own elastic restoring force, thereby causing the locking block 185 to return to its original position. This allows the locking block 185 to be stably positioned in the locking hole 184, making it easy to fix the clamp 15 onto the bamboo joint 1.

[0045] Specific working principle:

[0046] First, parameters are set and commands are issued through the control system 14. When it is necessary to pour wine into bamboo section 1, the PLC... The controller issues a command, and the first solenoid valve 11 and the second solenoid valve 12 open. The wine in the storage tank 2 flows through the first connecting pipe 8 and, under the real-time monitoring of the flow sensor 10, enters the bamboo section 1 through the wine inlet 4 at a suitable flow rate and flow for brewing. The flow sensor 10 transmits the flow information to the automatic flow circuit control board in the form of a pulse signal and feeds back the actual flow value to its internal controller. The automatic flow circuit control board uploads the real-time flow data to the PLC controller so that the PLC controller can monitor and record it, determine whether the flow meets the preset requirements, and make corresponding adjustments in time if there is a deviation. When the flow sensor 10 senses that the wine flowing through the first connecting pipe 8 has reached the set dosage, the PLC controller first closes the first solenoid valve 11. After all the wine has flowed into the bamboo section 1 from the second connecting pipe 9, the second solenoid valve 12 is closed, so that the wine is brewed completely in the bamboo section 1. When the bamboo wine brewing is completed, the control system 14 opens the third solenoid valve 13, so that the brewed wine flows through the wine outlet 5 through the second connecting pipe 9 and finally flows into the storage tank 3.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.
