Description

A wine outlet

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of brewing production, in particular to a wine taking port.

Background Art

In the existing wine production, in order to obtain wine beverages with better taste, the wort that has been treated by saccharification and the like is often placed in a closed fermentation tank for fermentation. After the fermentation is completed and stored at low temperature for a period of time, the obtained fermented liquid is taken out from the fermentation tank for filling. Under the condition that the taste and flavor of the wine beverage in the fermentation tank are not affected, the fermented liquid is taken out from the fermentation tank, and a wine taking port is often set on the closed fermentation tank body, and the wine taking port is connected to the inside of the fermentation tank body and the external wine filling device, so as to transport the fermented liquid in the fermentation tank to the wine filling device.

For example, Chinese utility model patent document CN201320311908 discloses a fermentation tank, wherein a jacket is arranged on the side wall of the fermentation tank; a pressure gauge, an exhaust pipe, and an inoculation valve are arranged on the top of the tank body and are sealed and connected to the fermentation tank; a thermometer, a sampling valve, and a liquid inlet are arranged on the side wall of the tank body and are sealed and connected to the fermentation tank and the jacket; a liquid outlet is arranged at the bottom of the tank body and is sealed and connected to the fermentation tank; a cooling medium outlet is arranged at the upper part of the outer layer of the jacket, and a cooling medium inlet is arranged at the lower part and is sealed and connected to the jacket. Although the utility model is simple to operate and easy to use, a highly sensitive one-way constant pressure exhaust valve is arranged on the exhaust pipe of the fermentation tank. During the production process, when the pressure in the fermentation tank rises to more than the allowable value, the valve automatically opens to exhaust and releases the pressure in time. When the pressure drops to the specified value, the valve automatically closes in time, which not only ensures the safe operation of the equipment during the production process, but also effectively prevents the fermentation liquid from being contaminated by bacteria, and reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

However, in the winemaking process, after a period of low-temperature storage, most of the cold turbidity and yeast cells will settle to the bottom of the fermentation tank. Therefore, 1. If the liquid outlet is set at the bottom of the tank, the turbidity settled at the bottom of the fermentation tank will be pressed into the wine filling device, resulting in more impurities in the wine beverage, affecting the taste of the wine beverage; 2. Since yeast is the biological workshop of wine fermentation, it is an important link to ensure the stability of wine quality and reduce the cost of wine production. Reasonable recovery of yeast that has completed the fermentation task can not only ensure the stability of the flavor of the fermented wine in this cycle, but also provide strong and excellent yeast for the next fermentation cycle, laying a good foundation for the stability of the wine quality in the next cycle. If the liquid outlet is set at the bottom of the tank, it is not conducive to the recovery of yeast.

In order to solve the problems existing in the fermentation tank disclosed in the above patent document, Chinese utility model patent document CN201320169139 discloses a fermentation tank for craft beer, including a tank body, a cold wort and yeast inlet is arranged at the bottom of the tank body, and a wine outlet pipe rotatable relative to the side wall of the tank body is arranged on the side wall of the tank body, wherein the wine outlet pipe is divided into two parts, including an upper part exposed outside the tank body and a lower part extending into the tank body and in a curved pipe shape. Although the fermentation tank provided by the patent document is easy to obtain beer with less impurities by arranging a rotatable wine outlet pipe on the side wall of the tank body compared with arranging the wine outlet pipe at the bottom of the fermentation tank, at the same time, the angle setting of the tank body bottom can make the yeast in the fermentation tank settle quickly, shorten the sedimentation time, and the concentrated yeast is discharged from the bottom of the tank body by gravity, which can correctly select the time and quality of yeast recovery, use yeast with excellent performance in time, and provide yeast with excellent performance for the next fermentation cycle, which is conducive to ensuring the quality of beer, and has the advantages of simple structure and convenient use.

However, the fermentation tank provided in the patent document is only provided with an outlet in the side wall of the tank body, and the wine outlet pipe passes through the outlet to go deep into the fermentation tank to take out the wine. In order to enable the wine outlet pipe to smoothly take out the wine from the fermentation tank body, it is often necessary to set a support for the wine outlet pipe at the position of the opening in the side wall of the tank body. The support is connected to the fermentation tank. Therefore, during the wine taking process, fermentation liquid and other materials will inevitably flow into the support and accumulate therein, and the materials accumulated at the support are often not cleaned properly during the automatic cleaning process of the fermentation tank, which easily leaves a sanitary dead corner, and the sanitary dead corner left will affect the taste and flavor of the next batch of wine. Therefore, if the cleanliness and sanitation of the wine taking port support are to be ensured, the wine taking pipe and the support need to be disassembled and cleaned after each brewing is completed. The operation process is cumbersome, and repeated disassembly and cleaning will affect the service life of the wine outlet pipe and the support.

In summary, how to ensure that there is no material leakage or accumulation at the wine taking port support during the wine taking process and ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the wine taking port support has become one of the urgent problems to be solved by technical personnel in this field.

In addition, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “top” and “bottom” used in the following description should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a wine taking port 100, which is arranged on the side wall of the tank body 200. The wine taking port 100 includes a bent pipe 10, a solid cylinder 20, a first fastening device 30 and a support body 40. The bent pipe 10 includes an upper part 11 exposed outside the tank body 200 and a lower part 12 inserted into the tank body 200. The upper part 11 is outer-mounted with a solid cylinder 20, and the inner wall of the solid cylinder 20 is tightly connected to the outer wall of the upper part 11. A sealing groove is provided on the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20, and a sealing device 21 is installed in the sealing groove. The support body 40 is sleeved outside the solid cylinder 20, and one end of the support body 40 is seamlessly connected to the inner wall of the tank body 200. The first fastening device 30 is used to clamp the support body 40 and the solid cylinder 20 to achieve sealing between the inner wall of the support body 40 and the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20.

There is no solid tube 20 in the middle between the support body 40 and the curved pipe 10 in the traditional wine taking mouth, so that during the process of taking and filling wine, the fermentation liquid and other materials in the tank body 200 can easily flow into the support body 40 through the gap between the curved pipe 10 and the support body 40, and the materials flowing into the gap between the curved pipe 10 and the support body 40 cannot be cleaned during the automatic cleaning process of the tank body, leaving a sanitary dead corner, thereby causing a large amount of waste to accumulate at the support body 40, affecting the taste and flavor of the fermentation liquid in the tank body 200. If the sanitary dead corner at the support body 40 is to be cleared, the wine taking mouth must be disassembled for cleaning. Therefore, in order to ensure the taste and flavor of the wine beverage, the wine taking mouth needs to be disassembled for cleaning after each brewing. Frequent and repeated disassembly not only causes inconvenience in use, but also easily causes damage to the wine taking mouth, reducing the service life of the wine taking mouth.

The wine taking port 100 provided in the preferred embodiment of the present invention has a solid cylinder 20 added between the upper part 11 outside the tank body 200 and the support body 40 in the curved tube 10, and a sealing device 21 is added on the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20, and then the solid cylinder 20 and the support body 40 are clamped by the first fastening device 30 to compress the sealing device on the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20, so that the sealing device 21 between the solid cylinder 20 and the support body 40 can achieve a sealing function to tightly seal the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20 and the inner wall of the support body 40, thereby preventing the material in the tank body 200 from leaking into the support body 40, avoiding the occurrence of material accumulation in the support body 40, improving the cleanliness of the support body 40, and avoiding frequent and repeated disassembly and cleaning thereof.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 , an opening is provided on the outer wall of the tank body 200, through which the lower portion 12 of the curved tube 10 in the wine taking port 100 is inserted into the tank body 200, while the upper portion 11 of the curved tube 10 in the wine taking port 100 is exposed outside the tank body 200. Here, the lower portion 12 of the curved tube 10 is preferably inserted into the tank body 200 in a curved tube shape, so as to facilitate the taking out of the wine beverage with high clarity. Further, as shown in FIG. 1 , the outer wall of the upper portion 11 is provided with a solid cylinder 20, one end of the solid cylinder 20 is overlapped with the inner wall of the tank body 200, and the other end of the solid cylinder 20 is connected to the first fastening device 30. The support body 40 is sleeved on the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20, and the corresponding end of the support body 40 and the solid cylinder 20 that overlaps with the inner wall of the tank body 200 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the tank body 200 and seamlessly connected with the inner wall of the tank body 200, so that the material in the tank body 200 cannot leak into the support body 40 through the gap between the support body 40 and the tank body 200. Here, the seamless connection can be welding the corresponding end of the support body 40 to the inner wall of the tank body 200, and of course, the seamless connection between the support body 40 and the inner wall of the tank body 200 can also be achieved by other methods.

Furthermore, in order to prevent the material in the tank body 200 from flowing into the support body 40 through the gap between the solid cylinder 20 and the support body 40, in this preferred embodiment, a sealing groove is provided between the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20 and the inner wall of the support body 40, and a sealing device 21 is installed in the sealing groove. The end of the solid cylinder 20 and the support body 40 away from the inner wall of the tank body 200 is connected with a first fastening device 30, that is, the first fastening device 30 is connected to both the solid cylinder 20 and the support body 40. By operating the first fastening device 30 to clamp the solid cylinder 20 and the support body 40, the sealing device 21 installed in the sealing groove is compressed, so that the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20 and the inner wall of the support body 40 are tightly sealed by the sealing device 21, thereby preventing the material in the tank body 200 from leaking into the support body 40. Here, the sealing device 21 is preferably a sealing ring.

Preferably, the first fastening device 30 is a clamp, which includes a clamp end cover 32 and a clamp body 31. The clamp end cover 32 is fixedly connected to one end of the solid cylinder 20 away from the inner wall of the tank body 200, and the clamp body 31 is connected to the support body 40. The clamping function between the solid cylinder 20 and the support body 40 is achieved by operating the clamp body 31. Here, the fixed connection between the clamp end cover 32 and the solid cylinder 20 can be welding, that is, the clamp end cover 32 can be welded to one end of the solid cylinder 20.

Furthermore, the inner wall of the solid cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the upper part 11 of the curved tube 10, and the solid cylinder 20 and the curved tube 10 can rotate relative to the support body 40. Here, in order to prevent the material in the tank body 200 from flowing into the solid cylinder 20 through the gap between the solid cylinder 20 and the upper part 11 of the curved tube 10, the inner wall of the solid cylinder 20 and the outer wall of the curved tube 10 are closely matched to reduce the gap between the solid cylinder 20 and the outer wall of the curved tube 10, avoid the accumulation of materials in the solid cylinder 20, and ensure the cleanliness and sanitation in the solid cylinder 20. The inner wall of the solid cylinder 20 and the upper part 11 of the curved tube 10 are fixedly connected, so that when the first fastening device 30 is slightly loosened, the curved tube 10 and the solid cylinder 20 can rotate relative to the support body 40, so that the lower part 12 located in the tank body 200 can rotate in the tank body 200, so as to obtain a wine beverage with high clarity and less impurities. In addition, since a sealing ring is installed on the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20, when the curved tube 10 and the solid cylinder 20 rotate relative to the support body 40, the sealing ring can ensure the sealing effect between the outer wall of the solid cylinder 20 and the inner wall of the support body 40, so that no material flows from the tank body 200 into the support body 40 during the rotation of the curved tube 10, thereby realizing the function of the wine taking port 100 rotating without leakage and without sanitary dead corners.

Preferably, the inner wall of the solid cylinder 20 and the outer wall of the upper part 11 are fixed by welding, and the weld is pickled and passivated after welding to meet the hygienic requirements. Here, after welding, the solid cylinder 20 and the curved pipe 10 form a whole, which can rotate relative to the support body 40 as a whole, and after welding, there is no gap between the solid cylinder 20 and the upper part 11, which effectively prevents the material in the tank body 200 from leaking into the solid cylinder 20, avoiding affecting the taste and flavor of the wine beverage in the tank body.

Furthermore, the wine taking port 100 provided in the preferred embodiment also includes a second fastening device 50, which is connected to the upper part 11 of the curved pipe 10 to clamp the externally connected wine taking hose. Here, when the fermentation of the fermented liquid in the tank body 200 is completed and the wine beverage is obtained, it needs to be bottled, so it is often necessary to connect the externally connected wine taking hose to the upper part 11 of the curved pipe 10 exposed outside the tank body 200, so as to take out the wine beverage in the tank body 200 and bottle it. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the bottling process and reduce the loss of the wine beverage during the bottling process, a second fixing device 50 is provided at the position where the wine taking hose is connected to the curved pipe 10 to fix the two. When it is not necessary to take wine, the second fixing device 50 can clamp the opening at the upper part 11 to prevent leakage of the fermented liquid during the fermentation process. Preferably, the second fastening device 50 is a clamp.

Preferably, the wine outlet 100 further includes a positioning device 60, which is connected to the upper portion 11 of the curved tube 10 and is located on the same plane as the curved tube 10. Here, the positioning device 60 is disposed outside the tank body 200 and is connected to the upper portion 11 of the curved tube 10, so that the lower portion 11 inserted into the tank body 200 in the shape of a curved tube can be controlled to present different rotation angles by adjusting the external positioning device 60, thereby obtaining a wine beverage with high clarity and few impurities. For example, the positioning device 60 can be a wrench, and the direction of the wrench is consistent with the direction of the lower portion 11. When it is found that the wine beverage taken out at the angle shown in FIG. 1 is somewhat turbid, the angle of the lower portion 11 can be changed by holding the wrench and rotating the curved tube 10, such as rotating it to the angle shown in FIG. 3 to adjust the height of the lower portion 11, thereby ensuring that a wine beverage with high clarity is obtained.

The wine taking port 100 disclosed in the present invention adds a solid cylinder 20 between the support body 40 and the curved pipe 10, and is provided with a sealing device 21 on the solid cylinder 20, so that the sealing device 21 realizes the sealing between the support body 40 and the solid cylinder 20, thereby preventing the leakage of materials in the tank body 200 and accumulating in the support body 40, ensuring the cleanliness and sanitation of the support body 40, thereby reducing the number of times the wine taking port 100 is disassembled and cleaned, and prolonging its service life, which is worthy of wide promotion and use.

In summary, the above embodiments provided by the present invention are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
