Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fermentation tank technology, and in particular to wine maceration fermentation tank. Background Technology

[0002] The maceration fermentation tank provides a sealed and ample space for grape juice and grape skins and pomace, allowing them to mix thoroughly and ferment. The fermentation tank isolates the fermentation process from the external environment, preventing airborne bacteria, dust, and other contaminants from entering, ensuring that the fermentation process takes place in a relatively pure environment, thereby reducing the risk of wine contamination and spoilage.

[0003] A search revealed a wine fermentation tank (publication number CN211497553U) comprising a tank body, an inlet at the top, an outlet at the bottom, and a control valve at the outlet. A cylinder with a piston shaft aligned with the tank body's axis is fixed to the top of the tank body. The piston shaft extends downwards into the tank body, and a pressure cap device is fixed to the lower end of the piston shaft. The cylinder at the top of the tank body drives the pressure cap device to move up and down. The pressure cap device can gently stir the grapes in the tank, crushing and compressing them. Furthermore, the pressure cap device can disperse and press down the wine caps floating on the juice in the tank, improving the maceration effect of the wine raw materials and ensuring the quality of the wine fermentation.

[0004] Based on the aforementioned patent, the skins and pomace mentioned in the background technology will float on the juice in the fermentation tank, forming a thick cap. This cap will reduce the maceration effect and seriously affect the quality of the wine.

[0005] In response to the technical problem of handling the skin residue on the juice, this application proposes a wine maceration and fermentation tank. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies that make it difficult to remove grape skins and pulp from the juice. The proposed wine maceration and fermentation tank effectively presses down the grape skins and pulp on the liquid surface by moving the pressure plate downwards and rotating it during the movement. This allows the grape skins and pulp to come into more thorough contact and mix with the grape juice, resulting in a richer color, a more complex taste, and a more complex aroma in the wine, thus improving product quality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A wine maceration and fermentation tank includes an outer shell. A rotating frame is rotatably connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the outer shell. A bidirectional motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame. One drive end of the bidirectional motor is connected to the outer shell via a rotating assembly to drive a pressure plate to rotate. The other drive end of the bidirectional motor is connected to the pressure plate via a lifting assembly to drive the pressure plate to rise and fall. Motors are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer shell.

A feed inlet is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the tank body. A temperature monitor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank body.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a gear fixedly connected to the right drive end of the bidirectional motor, the outer wall of the gear being meshed with a gear ring, and the outer wall of the gear ring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes sliders rotatably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the pressure plate, scissor frames rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliders, and sliding frames rotatably connected to the other end of each scissor frame. The outer walls of the sliding frames are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the rotating frame.

[0011] Furthermore, a telescopic frame is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame, and a secondary bevel gear is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic frame. The top of the secondary bevel gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the secondary bevel gear is meshed with a main bevel gear, and the top end of the main bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bidirectional motor drive end.

[0013] Furthermore, the repetitive assembly includes an eccentric wheel fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor, and a sliding frame is slidably connected to the outer wall of the eccentric wheel.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figures 3-5As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a wine maceration and fermentation tank, including an outer shell 1. A rotating frame 10 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A bidirectional motor 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 10. A pressure plate 19 is provided on the other driving end of the bidirectional motor 11. A gear 12 is fixedly connected to the right driving end of the bidirectional motor 11. A gear ring 13 is meshed with the outer wall of the gear 12. The outer wall of the gear ring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1 to drive the pressure plate 19 to rotate. Sliding blocks 21 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the pressure plate 19. The inner wall of the slider 21 is rotatably connected to a scissor frame 18, and the other end of the scissor frame 18 is rotatably connected to a sliding frame 17. The outer walls of the sliding frame 17 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the rotating frame 10. The inner wall of the sliding frame 17 is rotatably connected to a telescopic frame 16. The top of the telescopic frame 16 is fixedly connected to a secondary bevel gear 15. The top of the secondary bevel gear 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating frame 10. The outer wall of the secondary bevel gear 15 is meshed with a main bevel gear 14. The top of the main bevel gear 14 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the bidirectional motor 11 to drive the pressure plate 19 to rise and fall.

[0028] Specifically, a controller is installed at the front end of the outer shell 1. The controller is electrically connected to the motor 2, heating rod 6, temperature monitor 9, and bidirectional motor 11. At the same time, the wire passes through the upper side of the outer shell 1 and is connected to the heating rod 6, with sufficient wire length to allow the heating rod 6 to move up and down. When one drive end of the bidirectional motor 11 rotates, the other side does not rotate. The other side can only be started after one side finishes rotating. At the same time, it can only drive the pressure plate 19 to rotate 180 degrees in both directions. Secondly, the internal structure is made of stainless steel to avoid affecting the juice and the stability of the internal structure. The shape of the pressure plate 19 matches the shape of the inner wall of the tank 7. Multiple through holes are opened on the outer wall of the pressure plate 19. By driving the pressure plate 19 to move downward and rotating it during the movement, the grape skins and pomace on the upper side of the liquid are effectively pressed downward, so that the grape skins and pomace and grape juice can come into more full contact and mix, thereby giving the wine a richer color, a richer taste, and a more complex aroma, thus improving product quality.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, motors 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer shell 1. A heating rod 6 is provided at the drive end of the motor 2. A tank 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. A discharge valve 8 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the tank 7. A feed inlet 20 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner wall of the tank 7. A temperature monitor 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 7. An eccentric wheel 3 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 2. A sliding frame 4 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 3. A connecting frame 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding frame 4. The inner wall of the connecting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heating rod 6. The outer wall of the connecting frame 5 is slidably connected to both sides of the outer wall of the tank 7 to drive the heating rod 6 to rise and fall repeatedly.

[0030] Specifically, a protective shell is installed on the outer wall of the temperature monitor 9 to prevent contact with the juice. The working principle of the temperature monitor 9 is to measure the temperature by utilizing the characteristic that the resistance value of a conductor or semiconductor changes with temperature. By measuring the change in resistance value, the change in temperature can be calculated. The heating rod 6, which moves up and down repeatedly, heats the wine inside evenly, keeping the internal temperature suitable. The suitable temperature can effectively activate the activity of yeast, enabling the sugar in the grape juice to be converted into alcohol more quickly and stably, thus improving the fermentation efficiency.

[0031] Working principle: First, raw materials and yeast are added into the tank 7 through the feed inlet 20, allowing the raw materials to ferment inside the tank 7. Simultaneously, the temperature monitor 9 inside the tank 7 monitors the internal temperature. When internal heating is required, the controller activates the two motors 2 on both sides to rotate synchronously in the same direction, driving the eccentric wheel 3 to rotate and causing the sliding frame 4 to slide up and down. This, in turn, causes the connecting frame 5 and heating rod 6 to move repeatedly up and down, uniformly heating the raw materials inside. When the appropriate internal temperature is reached, the heating rod 6 and motor 2 are turned off. Next, when it is necessary to press the cap down, the left drive end of the bidirectional motor 11 is activated. The main bevel gear 14 rotates, which in turn drives the secondary bevel gear 15 to rotate, and the telescopic frame 16 to rotate. This causes the sliding frames 17 on both sides to slide towards the middle. The rotating scissor frame 18 rotates, causing the slider 21 to slide towards the middle on the inner wall of the pressure plate 19. This causes the pressure plate 19 to press down, pressing the wine cap downwards. During the pressing process, the right drive end of the bidirectional motor 11 can be activated, driving the gear 12 to rotate. The gear 12 rotates on the outer wall of the gear ring 13, causing the rotating frame 10 and the pressure plate 19 to rotate, allowing the grape skins and grape juice to come into more thorough contact and mix. After fermentation is complete, the wine is discharged through the discharge valve 8.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
