Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fruit wine production technology, specifically relating to a fruit wine cold settling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the fruit wine brewing process, the cold settling process uses a low-temperature environment to cause suspended impurities in the fruit wine to slowly settle, forming solid-liquid layers. These sediments are then removed by filtration, ensuring the fruit wine is clear and transparent and preventing secondary turbidity during subsequent storage. However, this process requires filtering the fruit wine after cold settling. Existing cold settling systems mostly employ manual disassembly and cleaning of their filter components. After cold settling, the fruit wine is pumped to the filter components, where impurities are trapped by the filter cartridges, and the clarified fruit wine flows out and is collected. When too many impurities are trapped in the filter cartridges, the filtration resistance increases, and the filtration efficiency decreases significantly, requiring the system to be stopped for cleaning of the filter cartridges. The existing cleaning methods have the following drawbacks: 1. The disassembly and installation process can easily lead to contamination of the fruit wine. When the filter cartridge is removed for cleaning, the filter cartridge and pipeline interface exposed to the air are easily exposed to dust and microorganisms. If the seal is not tight during reinstallation, external impurities may be introduced, affecting the hygiene and safety of the fruit wine. Some devices adopt a "multi-filter cartridge parallel switching" structure to reduce the number of disassemblies, but this structure is costly, has complex pipelines, and still requires machine shutdown during switching, which cannot fundamentally solve the cleaning efficiency problem. Second, shutdown for cleaning leads to production interruptions. After the fruit wine has cooled and settled, continuous filtration is required to prevent the settled impurities from re-suspension. Shutting down the existing equipment for cleaning will interrupt the filtration process. If the cleaning time is too long, the temperature of the fruit wine will rise, and the settled impurities may redisperse into the wine, requiring a repeat cooling and settling process. This not only prolongs the production cycle but also increases energy consumption and production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fruit wine cold sedimentation device, which solves the technical problems of existing fruit wine cold sedimentation devices, such as the need to disassemble the filter cartridge for cleaning impurities, low efficiency, easy contamination of fruit wine, resulting in production interruption and affecting the quality of fruit wine.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a fruit wine cold settling device, comprising a cold settling container and a filtration assembly. The cold settling container includes a tank body, with a jacket fixedly provided on the outer side of the tank body. Refrigerant inlet and outlet ports are connected to both the upper and lower sides of the jacket. A bottom valve is installed at the bottom of the tank body. The bottom valve is connected to the inlet of a delivery pump via a pipe. The outlet of the delivery pump is connected to the filtration assembly via a discharge pipe. The filtration assembly includes a three-way pipe. An annular plate and a bend are respectively connected to the two horizontal ends of the three-way pipe. Sealing and positioning elements are fixedly provided on the opposing end faces of the annular plate and the bend. A perforated frame is inserted between the two sealing and positioning elements. A filter cylinder is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the perforated frame. A connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the bend. The connecting shaft is connected to a spiral plate via a connecting rod. The outer side of the spiral plate is attached to the inner wall of the filter cylinder. A discharge valve and a drain valve are respectively installed on the vertically downward ends of the three-way pipe and the bend.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: solid impurities generated after cold settling can be effectively filtered by the filter assembly. When the filter cartridge's filtration effect decreases, the conveying pump is turned off and the valve status of the discharge valve and the drain valve is switched. By rotating the spiral plate, the impurities remaining in the filter cartridge can be quickly and effortlessly discharged.

[0006] To ensure the installation stability of the filter cartridge, as a further improvement to the above technical solution: the sealing and positioning component includes a positioning ring, the axis of which is collinear with the axis of the filter cartridge and the hollow frame, and one end of the discharge pipe is connected to an annular plate.

[0007] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the positioning ring plays a role in positioning and supporting the hollow frame, ensuring the installation stability of the hollow frame and filter cartridge.

[0008] To ensure the sealing performance at the connection between the filter cartridge and the sealing positioning component, as a further improvement to the above technical solution: a sealing gasket is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the positioning ring. The inner wall of the sealing gasket has a conical surface structure, and the inner diameter of the conical surface increases in the direction towards the filter cartridge. The sealing gasket and the hollow frame are interference fit, and the hollow groove opened on the hollow frame is located between the two sealing positioning components.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: after the sealing positioning component is inserted and matched with the hollow frame, as the bolts connecting the tee pipe and the bend pipe are tightened, the conical surface of the sealing gasket is squeezed by the hollow frame, thereby effectively sealing the connection between the hollow frame and the sealing positioning component, achieving the effect of sealing both ends of the filter cartridge.

[0010] To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the tee and bend for maintenance of their internal structures, as a further improvement to the above technical solution: flanges are welded to the opposite ends of the tee and bend, a sealing gasket is installed at the connection between the tee and bend, and the tee and bend are connected by bolts.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the tee and the bend are connected by a flange bolt structure, which allows for easy disassembly and separation to maintain their internal structure.

[0012] To facilitate the rotation of the connecting shaft, as a further improvement to the above technical solution: the journal of the connecting shaft is rotatably installed in a through hole opened on the side of the bent pipe, and a handwheel is connected to the end of the connecting shaft located outside the bent pipe.

[0013] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the operator can easily rotate the connecting shaft using a handwheel.

[0014] To ensure the sealing of the connection between the connecting shaft and the bend, as a further improvement to the above technical solution, a dynamic sealing ring is embedded in the inner hole wall of the bend for fitting the connecting shaft.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the design of the dynamic sealing ring can effectively ensure the sealing performance at the connection between the connecting shaft and the bend.

[0016] To intuitively determine the clogging status of the filter cartridge, as a further improvement to the above technical solution, a pressure gauge is installed on the discharge pipe.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: after the delivery pump is turned on, the staff can judge the blockage of the filter cartridge by the pressure information fed back by the pressure gauge, and clean the filter cartridge when the pressure is too high.

[0018] To ensure the insulation performance of the tank, as a further improvement to the above technical solution: the top of the tank is connected to one end of the tank cover via a hinge, and the tank cover and the tank body are respectively fixed with a hook assembly and a lock seat assembly in a locking mechanism.

[0019] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the can lid can be securely pressed onto the can opening of the can body through the locking buckle, ensuring the heat insulation performance of the can body.

[0020] The parts of the device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1: like Figure 1-3As shown, a fruit wine cold settling device includes a cold settling container 100 and a filter assembly 200. The cold settling container 100 includes a tank body 1, with a jacket 2 fixed to the outside of the tank body 1. Refrigerant inlet and outlet ports 3 are connected to both the upper and lower sides of the jacket 2. A bottom valve 6 is installed at the bottom of the tank body 1. The bottom valve 6 is connected to the inlet of a delivery pump 7 via a pipe. The outlet of the delivery pump 7 is connected to the filter assembly 200 via a discharge pipe 8. The filter assembly 200 includes a three-way pipe 9. An annular plate 10 and a bend 13 are respectively connected to the two horizontal ends of the three-way pipe 9. Sealing positioning elements 15 are fixed to the facing end faces of the annular plate 10 and the bend 13. A perforated frame 16 is inserted between the two sealing positioning elements 15. A filter cartridge 17 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the filter cartridge 17. A connecting shaft 18 is rotatably mounted on the bent pipe 13. The connecting shaft 18 is connected to the spiral plate 11 via a connecting rod 19. The outer side of the spiral plate 11 is attached to the inner wall of the filter cartridge 17. A discharge valve 12 and a drain valve 14 are respectively installed on the vertically downward ports of the three-way pipe 9 and the bent pipe 13. Solid impurities generated after cold settling can be effectively filtered by the filter assembly 200. When the filtration effect of the filter cartridge 17 decreases, the conveying pump 7 is turned off and the valve states of the discharge valve 12 and the drain valve 14 are switched. By rotating the spiral plate 11, the impurities retained in the filter cartridge 17 can be quickly and easily discharged. The sealing positioning component 15 includes a positioning ring 151. The axis of the positioning ring 151 is aligned with the filter cartridge 17 and the hollow frame. The axes of the 16 are collinear. One end of the discharge pipe 8 is connected to the annular plate 10. The positioning ring 151 serves to position and support the hollow frame 16, ensuring the installation stability of the hollow frame 16 and the filter cartridge 17. A sealing gasket 152 is fixed on the inner wall of the positioning ring 151. The inner wall of the sealing gasket 152 has a conical surface structure, and the inner diameter of the conical surface increases in the direction towards the filter cartridge 17. The sealing gasket 152 and the hollow frame 16 are interference fit. The hollow groove opened on the hollow frame 16 is located between two sealing positioning parts 15. After the sealing positioning parts 15 and the hollow frame 16 are inserted and fitted, as the bolts connecting the tee pipe 9 and the bend pipe 13 are tightened, the conical surface of the sealing gasket 152 is squeezed by the hollow frame 16, thereby effectively sealing the hollow frame. At the connection between the frame 16 and the sealing positioning component 15, the two ends of the filter cartridge 17 are sealed. Flanges are welded to the opposing ends of the tee pipe 9 and the bend pipe 13. A sealing gasket is installed at the connection between the tee pipe 9 and the bend pipe 13, and the tee pipe 9 and the bend pipe 13 are connected by bolts. This flange-bolt connection allows for easy disassembly and separation for maintenance of the internal structure. The journal of the connecting shaft 18 is rotatably mounted in a through hole on the side of the bend pipe 13. A handwheel 20 is connected to the end of the connecting shaft 18 located outside the bend pipe 13, allowing the operator to easily rotate the connecting shaft 18. A dynamic sealing ring is embedded in the inner wall of the hole on the bend pipe 13 for fitting the connecting shaft 18.The dynamic sealing ring design effectively ensures the sealing performance at the connection between the connecting shaft 18 and the bend 13. A pressure gauge 21 is installed on the discharge pipe 8. After the conveying pump 7 is turned on, the operator can use the pressure information from the pressure gauge 21 to determine the blockage status of the filter cartridge 17. If the pressure is too high, the filter cartridge 17 needs to be cleaned. The top of the tank body 1 is connected to one end of the tank cover 4 via a hinge. The tank cover 4 and the tank body 1 are respectively fixed with a hook assembly and a locking seat assembly from the locking buckle 5. The tank cover 4 can be securely pressed against the opening of the tank body 1 by the locking buckle 5, ensuring the heat insulation performance of the tank body 1.

[0024] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: A temperature transmitter and sleeve mechanism, widely used in existing technologies, can be installed on tank 1; the refrigerant inlet / outlet 3 is connected to the circulation pipeline of an existing refrigeration unit; the tank lid 4 is opened, and the fruit wine to be cooled and settled is injected through the top of tank 1; the tank lid 4 is closed and sealed with the latch 5 to prevent cold loss and external contamination. Refrigerant circulation is maintained, allowing the fruit wine to stand at a set low temperature for the set time of the cooling and settling process. Before starting the delivery pump 7, open the discharge valve 12 and close the drain valve 14 to ensure that the clarified fruit wine can flow smoothly out of the filter assembly. Start the delivery pump 7 and slowly open the bottom valve 6 of the tank. Control the valve opening to allow the fruit wine to enter the filter assembly at a stable flow rate. At this time, the suspended impurities in the fruit wine are intercepted by the filter cartridge 17. The clarified fruit wine enters the filter cartridge through the filter holes and then flows out through the vertical port of the three-way pipe 9 and the discharge valve 12, and is connected to the clarified fruit wine collection container. During the filtration process, the operator needs to observe the changes in the pressure gauge 21 in real time. As the filter cartridge traps more impurities, the filtration resistance increases, the pressure gauge value gradually rises and exceeds the threshold, indicating that the filter cartridge is partially blocked and the filtration efficiency decreases, and it is necessary to prepare for impurity cleaning. When the pressure gauge 21 reaches the critical pressure, shut off the delivery pump 7 and the bottom valve 6 to stop the fruit wine delivery; keep the discharge valve 12 closed, slowly open the drain valve 14, and the operator turns the handwheel 20. The handwheel drives the connecting shaft 18 and the connecting rod 19 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the spiral plate 11 to rotate along the inner wall of the filter cylinder 17. The outer side of the spiral plate 11 is in close contact with the inner wall of the filter cylinder. During the rotation, the impurities trapped on the inner wall of the filter cylinder, such as meat scraps and yeast residues, will be pushed along the spiral direction to the drain port of the bend 13. Under the action of the spiral thrust, the impurities are discharged through the drain valve 14 into the impurity collection container. After the impurities are discharged, close the drain valve 14, open the bottom valve 6, the discharge valve 12 and the delivery pump 7, and continue the fruit wine filtration operation.
