Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit wine fermentation technology, specifically relating to a fruit wine fermentation device that facilitates the filtering of fruit pomace. Background Technology

[0002] During fruit wine fermentation, as yeast breaks down the juice, a large amount of pectin and flocculent nutrients are decomposed and transformed. The resulting pulp gradually settles to the bottom of the container, and the wine slowly becomes clearer. However, when pouring the wine after fermentation, the fine pulp easily floats up with the flow of the liquid and mixes with it, affecting the clarity and quality of the wine. In the later stages of fermentation, a large amount of pulp settles, and most of the nutrients have been decomposed. The pulp remains at the bottom of the container, and most of the sugar in the juice also settles there. This mixture of pulp and sugar can lead to an accumulation of sugar and yeast at the bottom of the container, and the temperature at the bottom can also be too high. This can cause uneven fermentation, ultimately affecting the completeness of fermentation and the taste of the wine.

[0003] Most current fruit wine fermentation devices are only used as fermentation containers and generally do not have the function of cleaning and separating fruit pomace. They are usually sieved directly when pouring out the wine, which is quite troublesome. In addition, the containers lack liquid circulation function, which makes it difficult to make the influencing components and yeast colonies in the liquid evenly distributed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fruit wine fermentation device that facilitates the filtration of fruit pomace, solving the problem that most current fruit wine fermentation devices only serve as fermentation containers and generally do not have the function of cleaning and separating fruit pomace. They usually have to be directly sieved when pouring out the wine, which is quite troublesome. In addition, the containers lack liquid circulation function, which makes it difficult to ensure that the influencing components and yeast colonies in the liquid are evenly distributed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fruit wine fermentation device for easy filtering of fruit pomace, comprising a tank body, a tank lid threadedly connected to the upper side of the tank body, a cleaning bottle fixedly installed on the lower side of the tank body, a bottle cap tightly fitted to the upper side of the cleaning bottle, a flexible tube connected to the upper side of the bottle cap, a tube fixedly installed inside the tank body, the lower end of the tube near the bottom of the inner side of the tank body, the flexible tube connected to the tube body, a filter cylinder placed inside the cleaning bottle, the filter cylinder having an opening on its upper side, and a return pipe connected between the output end of the cleaning bottle and the side of the tank body.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: During the later stages of fermentation, the fruit pomace is separated from the wine multiple times, thus preventing the pomace from accumulating at the bottom of the container. This prevents the sugar in the juice from being concentrated at the bottom of the container, which would otherwise cause the sugar and yeast to accumulate and the temperature at the bottom of the tank to be higher. This avoids uneven fermentation of the juice and prevents problems with the fullness of fermentation and the taste of the wine. At the same time, separating the pomace multiple times during the later stages of fermentation can make the wine clear after fermentation. In addition, the liquid pump is turned on regularly during the later stages of fermentation to circulate the liquid in the tank, so that the sugar in the liquid in the tank is redistributed regularly and evenly, preventing the sugar from being mainly distributed at the bottom of the tank, which would affect the fermentation effect.

[0007] To avoid light affecting the fermentation of the wine; As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the tank body is made of an opaque material.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: avoiding the influence of light on yeast activity and maintaining a stable fermentation environment.

[0009] To facilitate observation of pomace accumulation and fermentation progress; As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the cleaning bottle is made of transparent glass.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the cleaning bottle is made of transparent glass, which allows for direct observation of the amount of fruit pulp in the filter cartridge, enabling timely cleaning to avoid clogging. At the same time, the transparent bottle allows for observation of color changes in the wine, aiding in the judgment of fermentation maturity and enhancing the intuitiveness of the operation.

[0011] To ensure a tight seal between the cleaning bottle and the cap to prevent leakage; As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the inner side of the bottle cap and the outer side of the cleaning bottle are tightly fitted together by an interference fit.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the inner side of the bottle cap and the outer side of the cleaning bottle are tightly fitted by an interference fit, which not only ensures the sealing during liquid extraction and reflux to prevent liquid leakage from affecting the fermentation environment, but also makes it easy to manually open for cleaning of fruit residue, thus balancing sealing performance and ease of operation.

[0013] To enhance the sealing performance between the can lid and the can body; As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a rubber stopper is fixedly provided on the inner side of the can lid, the rubber stopper is tightly plugged into the upper opening of the can body, and a rubber gasket is provided at the pressing joint between the can lid and the can body.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the rubber stopper on the inside of the can lid tightly seals the can opening, and the rubber gasket at the press joint enhances the seal, preventing the entry of bacteria or gas leakage.

[0015] In order to monitor and regulate the pressure inside the tank and prevent the pressure from becoming too high; As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a pressure relief valve and a pressure indicator are fixedly installed on the upper side of the tank cover, and both the pressure relief valve and the pressure indicator are connected to the inner side of the tank body.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the pressure relief valve on the tank cover automatically releases air when the pressure inside the tank exceeds the threshold, and the pressure indicator displays the pressure inside the tank in real time.

[0017] In summary, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: During the later stages of fermentation, the pomace is repeatedly intercepted by the filter cartridge to prevent it from accumulating at the bottom of the tank for a long time. The transparent cleaning bottle makes it easy to observe the amount of pomace, and the easy-to-open cap allows for quick cleaning. After fermentation, the wine is clear and does not require additional sieving, simplifying the operation process.

[0018] Liquid circulation redistributes the sugar and yeast within the tank, preventing overheating and uneven fermentation caused by accumulation at the bottom.

[0019] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0022] like Figure 1 — Figure 3The following describes a fruit wine fermentation device for easy filtration of fruit pomace: A tank body 1 is provided with a tank lid 2 threadedly connected to its upper side. A cleaning bottle 7 is fixedly mounted on the lower side of the tank body 1. A bottle cap 8 is tightly fitted to the upper side of the cleaning bottle 7. A flexible tube 9 is connected to the upper side of the bottle cap 8. A tube body is fixedly mounted inside the tank body 1, with its lower end near the bottom of the inner side of the tank body 1. The flexible tube 9 communicates with the tube body. A filter cylinder 12 is placed inside the cleaning bottle 7, with an opening at its upper side. The output end of the cleaning bottle 7 is connected to the tank body. A reflux pipe 11 is connected between the sides of container 1. During the later stages of fermentation, the fruit pomace in the wine is separated multiple times. This prevents the pomace from accumulating at the bottom of the container, which would otherwise cause most of the sugar in the juice to settle at the bottom. Mixing the pomace with the pomace would lead to an accumulation of sugar and yeast at the bottom of the container, resulting in a higher temperature at the bottom of container 1. This prevents uneven fermentation and ensures the wine's quality and taste. Furthermore, separating the pomace multiple times during the later stages of fermentation ensures a clear wine after fermentation. Additionally, during the later stages of fermentation, the pomace is periodically... Turning on the liquid pump 10 allows the liquid inside the tank 1 to circulate, periodically redistributing the sugar content and preventing it from accumulating at the bottom of the tank, which could negatively impact fermentation. The tank 1 is made of opaque material to prevent light from affecting yeast activity or wine oxidation, maintaining a stable fermentation environment. The cleaning bottle 7 is made of transparent glass, allowing for direct observation of pomace accumulation and determining if cleaning is necessary. The inner side of the bottle cap 8 and the outer side of the cleaning bottle 7 are tightly fitted together via an interference fit. To ensure airtightness, a rubber stopper 5 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the can lid 2, which is tightly plugged into the upper opening of the can body 1. A rubber gasket 6 is provided at the joint between the can lid 2 and the can body 1. The rubber stopper 5 on the inner side of the can lid is tightly plugged into the opening of the can body, and the rubber gasket 6 at the joint enhances the seal to prevent the entry of bacteria or gas leakage. A pressure relief valve 3 and a pressure indicator 4 are fixedly installed on the upper side of the can lid 2. Both the pressure relief valve 3 and the pressure indicator 4 are connected to the inner side of the can body 1. The pressure relief valve on the can lid automatically releases gas when the pressure inside the can exceeds a threshold, and the pressure indicator displays the pressure inside the can in real time.

[0023] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Before fermentation, the fruit pulp is put into the tank 1, the tank lid 2 is tightened to seal the fermentation, the rubber stopper 5 on the inside of the lid is tightly plugged into the opening of the tank, and the rubber gasket 6 at the joint enhances the seal to prevent the entry of miscellaneous bacteria or gas leakage. The tank 1 is made of opaque material to avoid light affecting the yeast activity and maintain a stable fermentation environment.

[0024] As fermentation progresses, the fruit pomace settles at the bottom of tank 1. In the later stages of fermentation, after the fruit pomace has settled significantly, the liquid pump 10 is turned on periodically. The pipe inside tank 1 draws liquid containing fruit pomace from the bottom and delivers it to cleaning bottle 7 via hose 9. The fruit pomace is intercepted by the filter cartridge 12 inside cleaning bottle 7. Cleaning bottle 7 is made of transparent glass, allowing for direct observation of the amount of fruit pomace accumulated and determining whether cleaning is necessary. The filtered liquid flows back to tank 1 through return pipe 11, achieving liquid circulation and allowing the sugar and yeast to be redistributed evenly.

[0025] When it is observed that there is a lot of fruit residue in the cleaning bottle 7, open the tightly closed bottle cap 8. The bottle cap 8 and the cleaning bottle 7 are interference fit to ensure airtightness. Take out the filter tube 12 to clean the fruit residue and keep the filtration smooth. After cleaning, put it back into the cleaning bottle 7 and close the bottle cap 8 tightly to continue fermentation.

[0026] In summary, by separating the pomace from the fruit wine multiple times during the later stages of fermentation, it is possible to prevent the pomace from accumulating at the bottom of the container. This would prevent the sugar in the juice from settling at the bottom, which would cause the sugar and yeast to accumulate and the temperature at the bottom of the container to be too high. This would prevent uneven fermentation and ensure the quality of the fermentation and the taste of the wine. Furthermore, separating the pomace multiple times during the later stages of fermentation ensures a clear wine. Additionally, periodically turning on the liquid pump 10 during the later stages of fermentation allows for liquid circulation within the container, ensuring the sugar is redistributed evenly and preventing it from being concentrated at the bottom of the container, which would negatively impact the fermentation process.

[0027] In addition, it should be noted that a manual valve is usually required at the connection between the hose 9 and the tube body to close the passage when the bottle cap 8 is opened, so as to ensure that the liquid does not leak from the hose 9. However, considering that it is not suitable to set too many control points, and that the internal structure of the valve body is complex and may also leave fruit residue, which would make it difficult to clean the passage later, and considering that the hose 9 can be closed directly by pinching, which is convenient and quick, a manual valve is not set here.
