A refrigerant circulation treatment device for wine fermentation

Abstract

This invention provides a refrigerant circulation treatment device for wine fermentation, belonging to the field of wine processing. It includes a frame and a fermentation tank, with the fermentation tank fixedly connected to the surface of the frame, and a circulation component installed on the frame surface. In this invention, when the refrigerant enters the interior of the pipes and inclined tubes through the return pipe, the motor starts and drives the pipes and inclined tubes to rotate via gears one and two. This ensures that the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank fully contacts the pipes and inclined tubes, achieving rapid heat transfer and improving the temperature uniformity of the fermentation liquid. This avoids large temperature differences in the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank, thus solving the problem of existing refrigerant circulation treatment devices failing to guarantee the temperature consistency of the fermentation liquid inside the tank during operation. The rotation of the pipes and inclined tubes also promotes the flow of the fermentation liquid inside the fermentation tank, effectively preventing sedimentation and stratification, and ensuring the normal progress of the fermentation process.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine processing, and more specifically, to a refrigerant circulation treatment device for wine fermentation. Background Technology

[0002] The refrigerant circulation system for wine fermentation is a core piece of precise temperature control equipment designed specifically for the wine fermentation process. Its core function is to regulate and stabilize the fermentation environment temperature in real time through the circulation of refrigerant (such as ethylene glycol solution, low-temperature water, etc.), thereby avoiding the negative impact of excessively high or fluctuating fermentation temperatures on wine quality (such as flavor, aroma, and taste). It is a key piece of equipment in modern winemaking to ensure the controllability of the fermentation process and the consistency of the product.

[0003] Existing refrigerant circulation systems typically wrap refrigerant pipes around the tank surface. Therefore, during refrigerant flow, the fermentation liquid near the tank wall cools down faster than that further away, resulting in a temperature difference within the fermentation liquid. This temperature difference can lead to undesirable changes in the taste of the fermented liquid. Solving these problems has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the reflux pipe away from the fermenter is fixedly connected to the end of the output pipe away from the pump and they are in communication. The outer wall of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to a fixing rod and is fixedly connected to the top of the fermenter.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the pump is started, the refrigerant can be delivered to the inside of the return pipe through the output pipe. The setting of the fixing rod and fixing ring can ensure the stability of the return pipe during the refrigerant delivery process.

[0013] Preferably, the two ends of the pipe pass through the inner top and the inner bottom of the fermenter, respectively, and extend to the outside of the fermenter. The pipe is rotatably connected to the fermenter.

[0017] Preferably, gear one meshes with gear two, and gear two is fixedly connected to one end of the pipe extending above the fermenter.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, gear one can drive gear two to rotate, and when gear two rotates, it can drive the pipe and the inclined pipe to rotate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1.

This avoids large temperature differences in the fermentation liquid inside the fermenter, thus solving the problem that existing refrigerant circulation treatment devices cannot guarantee the temperature consistency of the fermentation liquid inside the tank during operation.

[0020] 2.

Furthermore, the integrated design allows the refrigerant to flow directly within the pipes and inclined tubes, significantly shortening the heat exchange distance with the fermentation broth and thus greatly improving heat transfer efficiency. Compared to traditional external heat exchange methods, this integrated structure can respond more quickly to changes in the fermentation broth temperature, adjusting cooling or heating levels promptly and effectively improving the overall performance of the refrigerant circulation system.

[0026] The circulation assembly 3 includes a discharge pipe 301, a heat dissipation box 302, a support rod 303, a pump 304, an output pipe 305, a return pipe 306, a fixing ring 307, a pipe 308, an inclined pipe 309, a motor 310, a gear 1 311, and a gear 2 312. The discharge pipe 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fermenter 2, and the heat dissipation box 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the discharge pipe 301. The discharge pipe 301 communicates with the heat dissipation box 302. Heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the surface of the heat dissipation box 302. The refrigerant inside the fermenter 2 can be transported to the interior of the heat dissipation box 302 through the discharge pipe 301 and cooled by the heat dissipation fins. The support rod 303 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 1, and the end of the support rod 303 away from the frame 1 is connected to the heat dissipation box 304. The outer wall of the fermenter 2 is fixedly connected, and the support rod 303 supports the heat sink 302, ensuring its stability. The pump 304 is fixedly connected to the surface of the frame 1. The input end of the pump 304 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the heat sink 302 and communicates with it. After the pump 304 starts, it can extract the refrigerant that has cooled the heat sink 302 through the input end. The output pipe 305 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pump 304. The return pipe 306 is set at the top of the fermenter 2. The end of the return pipe 306 away from the fermenter 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the output pipe 305 away from the pump 304 and communicates with it. After the pump 304 starts, it can deliver the refrigerant to the return pipe 306 through the output pipe 305. Inside the fermenter 2, a retaining ring 307 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the return pipe 306. A retaining rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the retaining ring 307 and is fixedly connected to the top of the fermenter 2. The setting of the retaining rod and the retaining ring 307 can ensure the stability of the return pipe 306 during the refrigerant transport process. The pipe 308 is set inside the fermenter 2. The two ends of the pipe 308 pass through the top and bottom of the fermenter 2 respectively and extend to the outside of the fermenter 2. The pipe 308 is rotatably connected to the fermenter 2 and can rotate inside the fermenter 2. One end of the return pipe 306 extends to the top of the pipe 308, and the bottom end of the pipe 308 extends to the top of the discharge pipe 301. The return pipe 306 can... The refrigerant is delivered to the interior of pipe 308. The refrigerant inside pipe 308 can be discharged through discharge pipe 301. Inclined pipe 309 is fixedly connected to the surface of pipe 308. Inclined pipe 309 is inclined, which facilitates the flow of refrigerant. Motor 310 is fixedly connected to the top of fermenter 2. Gear 1 311 is installed at the output end of motor 310. Gear 2 312 is set on the surface of gear 1 311. Gear 1 311 and gear 2 312 mesh. Gear 2 312 is fixedly connected to the end of pipe 308 that extends to the top of fermenter 2. Gear 1 311 can drive gear 2 312 to rotate. When gear 2 312 rotates, it can drive pipe 308 and inclined pipe 309 to rotate.

[0027] When the refrigerant enters the interior of pipe 308 and inclined pipe 309 through return pipe 306, motor 310 starts and drives pipe 308 and inclined pipe 309 to rotate through gear 1 311 and gear 2 312. This allows the fermentation liquid inside fermenter 2 to fully contact pipe 308 and inclined pipe 309, achieving rapid heat transfer and improving the temperature uniformity of the fermentation liquid. This avoids large temperature differences in the fermentation liquid inside fermenter 2, thus solving the problem that existing refrigerant circulation treatment devices cannot guarantee the temperature uniformity of the fermentation liquid inside the tank during operation.

[0028] When pipes 308 and inclined tubes 309 rotate, they drive the flow of fermentation broth inside fermenter 2, effectively preventing sedimentation and stratification in the fermentation broth and ensuring the normal progress of the fermentation process. Furthermore, the device employs an integrated structural design, allowing the refrigerant to flow directly within pipes 308 and inclined tubes 309, significantly shortening the heat exchange distance with the fermentation broth and thus substantially improving heat transfer efficiency. Compared to traditional external heat exchange methods, this integrated structure can respond more quickly to changes in fermentation broth temperature, adjusting cooling or heating intensity in a timely manner, effectively improving the overall operational performance of the refrigerant circulation treatment device.

[0029] The working principle of this refrigerant circulation device for wine fermentation is as follows: The motor 310 is started, and the motor 310 drives the gear 312 to rotate via gear 311. This causes gear 312 to rotate the pipe 308 and the inclined tube 309, thus causing the wine inside the fermentation tank 2 to flow with the rotation of the inclined tube 309. At this time, the refrigerant inside the pipe 308 and the inclined tube 309 is transported to the interior of the heat dissipation box 302 through the discharge pipe 301, and cooled by the heat dissipation fins on the surface of the heat dissipation box 302. After cooling, the refrigerant is transported to the interior of the return pipe 306 through the pump 304 and the output pipe 305, and then back to the interior of the pipe 308 and the inclined tube 309 through the return pipe 306, thus cooling the wine inside the fermentation tank 2.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
