Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aging technology for baijiu base liquor, and in particular to a fully automatic aging device for baijiu base liquor. Background Technology
[0002] Accelerated aging of baijiu base liquor refers to speeding up the aging process of newly brewed base liquor, enabling it to achieve a flavor and quality similar to naturally aged liquor in a short period of time. This reduces harshness, enhances mellowness, and stabilizes quality. However, existing aging processes for baijiu base liquor have the following drawbacks: First, the use of earthenware jars as aging containers is prone to breakage, difficult to transport, has weak mechanical strength and shock resistance, high permeability and liquor loss, small capacity, large footprint, high infrastructure investment, difficult production management, and high manual maintenance costs. It also cannot utilize intelligent control systems and fluid transport systems, making it unsuitable for modern large-scale production. Second, existing aging processes rely on relatively simple monitoring methods, often focusing only on temperature or humidity control while neglecting the significant impact of key chemical indicators such as pH and conductivity on the aging process. This one-sided monitoring limits further improvement in the aging effect. Third, uneven temperature control and the lack of a dynamic fluid mixing system result in insufficient and uneven contact of the liquor during the aging process, thus affecting the aging speed and the stable improvement of liquor quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic aging device for baijiu base liquor to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the upper surface of the stainless steel tank is fixedly connected to a liquid inlet, and the outer wall of the stainless steel tank is fixedly connected to a liquid outlet. Both the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are conductively connected to the inside of the porous ceramic inner tank, and one end of the liquid outlet is fixedly connected to a faucet valve.
[0006] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a return water pipe and a water inlet pipe are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the stainless steel tank, and both the return water pipe and the water inlet pipe are connected to the water flow layer.
[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a return water valve is fixedly connected to the return water pipe, and an inlet water valve is fixedly connected to the inlet water pipe.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a first threaded connector is fixedly connected to the conductivity sensor, and a second threaded connector is fixedly connected to the pH sensor, and both the first threaded connector and the second threaded connector are threadedly connected to the stainless steel tank.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, an oxygen supply connector is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stainless steel tank, and the oxygen supply connector is conductively connected to the porous ceramic inner tank.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: This utility model combines stainless steel and porous ceramic materials, possessing the advantages of stainless steel tanks (small footprint, large storage capacity, low loss, accurate measurement, not easily damaged, convenient transportation, strong mechanical strength and shock resistance). By using a porous ceramic inner tank instead of an earthenware jar to contact the wine, its porous characteristics increase the contact area with the wine, achieving the effect of accelerating the aging of new wine. Furthermore, it employs a multi-parameter real-time collaborative monitoring design, simultaneously detecting pH value, dissolved oxygen content, and conductivity, comprehensively quantifying the chemical changes during the aging process. Compared with traditional single-parameter monitoring, it can more accurately capture the dynamic formation patterns of flavor substances such as esters and acids in the wine, and realize the effect through sensor data... The system adjusts environmental parameters in real time to form a closed-loop control system and is equipped with a temperature-controlled wine storage system. The wine is heated using water in the water flow layer as a heat source. By precisely controlling the temperature parameters of the outer water layer, the temperature of the wine can be precisely controlled. This temperature control method has two significant benefits: First, it strictly adheres to the relevant standards and regulations for safe storage in the factory, ensuring the safety of the wine during processing and storage, and effectively avoiding safety hazards caused by abnormal temperatures. Second, suitable temperature conditions can accelerate the physical and chemical changes within the wine, significantly shortening the aging time required for new wine to reach its ideal flavor and quality, thereby improving production efficiency and enhancing the quality stability of the wine.

The oxygen supply connector 16 is used to fill the porous ceramic inner tank 2 with oxygen; a moving wheel 20 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the stainless steel tank 1, and a brake plate 21 is fixedly connected to the moving wheel 20. A push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the communication control box 17. The push rod 18 is used to push the stainless steel tank 1 to move through the moving wheel 20 and to brake through the brake plate 21.
[0021] Working Principle: When using this invention for accelerated aging of baijiu base liquor, the base liquor is first injected into the porous ceramic inner tank 2 through the inlet port 9 on the stainless steel tank 1. Then, accelerated aging begins. A water inlet pipe 14 connects to the water inlet, pouring hot water from the bottom into the water flow layer 3 and circulating it out through the return water pipe 12 at the top. The water flow layer 3 heats the baijiu base liquor in the porous ceramic inner tank 2. During this process, a pH sensor 4 monitors the acidity / alkalinity of the baijiu base liquor in real time. pH value is an important indicator reflecting the acidity / alkalinity of the liquor, directly affecting the formation and transformation of flavor substances such as esters and acids. Real-time pH monitoring allows understanding of the chemical changes in the liquor during the accelerated aging process, providing a basis for adjusting environmental parameters. A temperature sensor 5 monitors and controls the temperature of the baijiu base liquor. Temperature is one of the key factors affecting the aging speed of baijiu. Suitable temperature conditions can accelerate the physical and chemical changes within the liquor, shortening the aging time required for the new liquor to reach its ideal flavor and quality. The temperature sensor 5 allows real-time monitoring of the liquor's temperature and adjustment of the water flow layer 3. During the aging process of baijiu, changes in ion concentration affect the flavor and quality of the liquor. The conductivity sensor 6 monitors these changes in real time, providing a reference for adjusting aging conditions. Appropriate oxygen levels promote the formation and transformation of flavor compounds. The oxygen content sensor 22 monitors the dissolved oxygen content in the liquor and adjusts the oxygen flow rate as needed to optimize the aging effect. Data collected during aging is displayed in real time on the screen 19 and transmitted to a remote control center for centralized monitoring and management via the communication control box 17. The first threaded connector 7 and the second threaded connector 8 are used to install the conductivity sensor 6 and the pH sensor 4, respectively. The liquid outlet 10 and the faucet valve 11 are used to discharge the liquor. The return water valve 13 and the inlet water valve 15 control the opening and closing of the return water pipe 12 and the inlet water pipe 14, respectively. The oxygen supply connector 16 is used to fill the porous ceramic inner tank 2 with oxygen. The push rod 18 pushes the stainless steel tank 1 to move via the casters 20 and is braked by the brake plate 21.
