Description

MACHINE DESTINEE AU TRAITEMENT DES BOUCHONS DE MACHINE FOR TREATING CAPS OF
LIEGECORK
La présente invention concerne le traitement des bouchons de liège en vue d'éliminer les particules de liège, les produits pouvant provoquer des goûts de bouchon dans les vins et inactiver les micro-organismes.The present invention relates to the treatment of cork stoppers with a view to eliminating cork particles, the products which can cause cork tastes in wines and inactivate microorganisms.
On a proposé jusqu'ici l'es techniques suivantes pour traiter les bouchons. a) L'extraction à la vapeur d'eau dans un autoclave à 130°C qui élimine une partie du trichloroanisol, responsable du goût de bouchon, comme il est décrit dans la publication de Rocha, Delgadillo et Ferrer- Correia (1996) . b) Le traitement par des radiations ionisantes a été réalisé commercialement à la suite des travaux de mise au point de Colagrande (1997) à l'université de Piacenza en Italie. Ce traitement inactive la flore microbienne mais n'a pas d'action sur les produits provoquant les mauvais goûts qui sont déjà formés dans les bouchons. c) Le chauffage par micro-ondes a fait l'objet de la demande internationale WO 99/37334 déposé par Rudolf Ohlinger, Francisco Oller, Juvenal Ferreira da Silva, J. Jager.The following techniques have so far been proposed for treating plugs. a) Extraction with water vapor in an autoclave at 130 ° C which eliminates part of the trichloroanisol, responsible for the cork taste, as described in the publication by Rocha, Delgadillo and Ferrer-Correia (1996). b) Treatment with ionizing radiation was carried out commercially following development work by Colagrande (1997) at the University of Piacenza in Italy. This treatment inactivates the microbial flora but has no action on the products causing the bad tastes which are already formed in the corks. c) Microwave heating has been the subject of international application WO 99/37334 filed by Rudolf Ohlinger, Francisco Oller, Juvenal Ferreira da Silva, J. Jager.
Il permet d'entraîner du trichloroanisol, responsable du goût de bouchon, en éliminant l'eau contenue dans les bouchons. Cette solution présente des inconvénients car la machine décrite est encombrante, très onéreuse et peut être envisagée que pour de très grosses productions. De plus le chauffage par micro-ondes n'est pas uniforme, ce qui nécessite d'avoir à remuer en permanence les bouchons sur une bande transporteuse. L'utilisation d'une bande transporteuse est d'ailleurs l'une des revendications du brevet.It allows the training of trichloroanisol, responsible for the cork taste, by eliminating the water contained in the corks. This solution has drawbacks because the machine described is bulky, very expensive and can be envisaged only for very large productions. Moreover the microwave heating is not uniform, which requires having to constantly stir the plugs on a conveyor belt. The use of a conveyor belt is also one of the claims of the patent.
Le dispositif suivant l'invention évite ces inconvénients car il permet la réalisation de machines très compactes, peu onéreuses. La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour le nettoyage des bouchons comportant des électrodes entre lesquelles sont placés les bouchons préalablement imprégnés d'eau et aux bornes desquelles est appliquée une tension électrique à haute fréquence convenable pour provoquer le chauffage par pertes diélectriques de l'eau et par suite son évaporation.The device according to the invention avoids these drawbacks because it allows the production of very compact, inexpensive machines. The present invention relates to a device for cleaning the plugs comprising electrodes between which are placed the plugs previously impregnated with water and at the terminals of which is applied a high frequency electrical voltage suitable for causing heating by dielectric losses of water and consequently its evaporation.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, l'espace inter électrodes dans lequel est appliqué le champ électrique à haute fréquence est balayée par un flux d'ait sec circulant perpendiculairement au plan des électrodes et des trous percés dans lesdites électrodes.According to another characteristic, the inter-electrode space in which the high frequency electric field is applied is swept by a flow of dry water circulating perpendicular to the plane of the electrodes and holes drilled in said electrodes.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, la tension à haute fréquence est appliquée sur l'électrode au moyen d'un circuit résonant du type « résonateur hélicoïdal » comportant une inductance en tube de cuivre refroidi par circulation d'eau, un blindage cylindrique externe et des moyens convenables pour entretenir l'oscillation alimentant en haute fréquence ladite électrode.According to another characteristic, the high frequency voltage is applied to the electrode by means of a resonant circuit of the "helical resonator" type comprising an inductance in copper tube cooled by water circulation, an external cylindrical shield and means suitable for maintaining the oscillation supplying said electrode at high frequency.
Suivant une autre caractéristique, les bouchons sont introduits dans l'espace inter-électrodes où ils sont chauffés au moyen d'un convoyeur convenable pour régler le débit des bouchons, qui peut, par exemple, être un tambour rotatif.According to another characteristic, the plugs are introduced into the inter-electrode space where they are heated by means of a conveyor suitable for adjusting the flow rate of the plugs, which can, for example, be a rotary drum.
L'invention sera de toutes façons mieux comprise en se reportant à la figure unique annexée qui représente une coupe de la machine.The invention will in any case be better understood by referring to the single appended figure which represents a section of the machine.
Avant de décrire le dispositif, rappelons le principe de fonctionnement qui consiste à remplir d'eau les cavités ou pores du liège qui se trouvent pour diverses raisons fissurées ou contaminées avec diverses molécules odorantes dont le T.C.A. (trichloroanisol) . Le remplissage peut se faire simplement par trempage prolongé ou mieux par mise sous vide .Before describing the device, let us recall the operating principle which consists of filling the cavities or pores of cork with water which are, for various reasons, cracked or contaminated with various odorous molecules including T.C.A. (trichloroanisol). The filling can be done simply by prolonged soaking or better by vacuum.
Le procédé de nettoyage consiste alors à faire bouillir l'eau contenue dans les cavités de telle sorte que l'éjection brutale de vapeur qui en résulte assure un nettoyage de la cavité polluée.The cleaning process then consists in boiling the water contained in the cavities so that the sudden ejection of steam which results therefrom cleans the polluted cavity.
Pour effectuer ce chauffage, l'invention exploite le fait que l'eau à de fortes pertes diélectriques ce qui provoque une absorption d'énergie dans un champ électrique à haute fréquence .To carry out this heating, the invention exploits the fact that water has high dielectric losses which causes energy absorption in a high frequency electric field.
Dans l'invention, le champ électrique est réalisé entre les électrodes 1, 2. L'électrode 1 est maintenue au potentiel de la terre tandis qu'on applique sur l'électrode 2 au moyen de l'inductance 6 une tension alternative (sinusoïdale) à haute fréquence (13, 6 ou 27 MHz).In the invention, the electric field is produced between the electrodes 1, 2. The electrode 1 is maintained at the earth potential while an alternating voltage (sinusoidal) is applied to the electrode 2 by means of the inductor 6 ) at high frequency (13, 6 or 27 MHz).
La tension à haute fréquence est réalisée au moyen d'un résonateur hélicoïdal constitué par l'inductance 6 placée dans une enceinte en cuivre 10 permettant de confiner le champ électromagnétique rayonné et la capacité résultant de la position de l'électrode 2 entre deux surfaces au potentiel de la terre. L'oscillation est entretenue par un tube électronique (tétrode ou triode) 7 capable de délivrer une puissance de 1 à 20 kW suivant le débit massique des bouchons chauffés et la quantité d'eau dont ils sont imprégnés. Le couplage du tube au résonateur s'effectue par la connexion 11 qui est réglable afin d'obtenir une bonne adaptation. Toute l'électronique de commande est contenue dans le boîtier blindé 12/ La fréquence de fonctionnement est ajustée au moyen de condensateurs d'accord (non représentés sur la figure) de façon à se situer dans l'une des bandes réservées aux machines industrielles.The high frequency voltage is produced by means of a helical resonator constituted by the inductor 6 placed in a copper enclosure 10 making it possible to confine the radiated electromagnetic field and the capacitance resulting from the position of the electrode 2 between two surfaces at earth potential. The oscillation is maintained by an electronic tube (tetrode or triode) 7 capable of delivering a power of 1 to 20 kW depending on the mass flow rate of the heated plugs and the amount of water with which they are impregnated. The coupling of the tube to the resonator is effected by connection 11 which is adjustable in order to obtain a good adaptation. All the control electronics are contained in the shielded box 12 / The operating frequency is adjusted by means of tuning capacitors (not shown in the figure) so as to be located in one of the bands reserved for industrial machines.
A titre d'exemple, le champ électrique réalisé peut se situer dans une fourchette de 2 à 8 kV.cm-i. Si l'épaisseur des bouchons disposés entre les deux électrodes est de 10 cm, on voit que la tension appliquée à l'électrode 2 doit être comprise entre 20 et 80 kV. Le résonateur est conçu pour avoir un coefficient de surtension Q aussi élevé que possible à vide, c'est à dire en l'absence de bouchons. Avec une inductance constituée par un tube de cuivre refroidi à l'eau, on peut par exemple atteindre des valeurs de Q supérieures à 10000 si le diamètre extérieur du résonateur est de 600mm.For example, the electric field produced can be in the range of 2 to 8 kV.cm-i. If the thickness of the plugs arranged between the two electrodes is 10 cm, we see that the voltage applied to the electrode 2 must be between 20 and 80 kV. The resonator is designed to have an overvoltage coefficient Q as high as possible when empty, that is to say in the absence of plugs. With an inductor consisting of a water-cooled copper tube, it is possible, for example, to reach Q values greater than 10,000 if the outside diameter of the resonator is 600mm.
Les électrodes 1 et 2 sont maintenues à une température de l'ordre de 60 °C afin d'éviter que la vapeur d'eau ne se condense.The electrodes 1 and 2 are maintained at a temperature of the order of 60 ° C in order to prevent the water vapor from condensing.
D'une façon générale des précautions sont prises pour éviter que la vapeur d'eau dégagée par les bouchons ne provoque un claquage électrique entre les électrodes. Il faut à la fois éviter une trop grande humidité de l'air et la condensation sur des parois froides. Pour cela la machine est équipée d'un circuit d'air sec permettant le balayage intense de l'espace inter-électrodes . Celui-ci comprend : - un ventilateur centrifuge 13In general, precautions are taken to prevent the steam released by the plugs from causing an electrical breakdown between the electrodes. Avoid too much humidity and condensation on cold walls. For this, the machine is equipped with a dry air circuit allowing intense scanning of the inter-electrode space. This includes: - a centrifugal fan 13
- un sécheur d'air thermodynamique 14 utilisant par exemple un compresseur à fréon ou équivalent permettant d'éliminer l'eau par condensation - un circuit fermé d'air fourni notamment par les cavités 4 et 5 et les électrodes 1 et 2 qui sont percées d'une multitude de trous destinés à répartir uniformément le flux d'air dans tout le volume des bouchons. La vitesse de circulation des bouchons est importante puisqu'elle détermine le temps de présence dans l'espace inter électrodes c'est à dire l'énergie thermique reçue par les bouchons.- a thermodynamic air dryer 14 using for example a freon compressor or equivalent making it possible to remove water by condensation - a closed circuit of air supplied in particular by the cavities 4 and 5 and the electrodes 1 and 2 which are pierced a multitude of holes intended to distribute the air flow evenly throughout the volume of the plugs. The speed of circulation of the plugs is important since it determines the time of presence in the inter-electrode space, ie the thermal energy received by the plugs.
Elle est contrôlée au moyen de la roue dentée 9. Les bouchons traités sont ensuite évacués par une canalisation pneumatique 15.It is controlled by means of the toothed wheel 9. The treated plugs are then removed by a pneumatic line 15.
L' invention peut être utilisée essentiellement pour l'élimination du T.C.A. (trichloroanisol) et d'autres molécules volatiles qui sont parfois contenues dans le liège et qui, après diffusion dans le vin provoquent le « goût de bouchon » .The invention can be used essentially for the elimination of T.C.A. (trichloroanisol) and other volatile molecules which are sometimes contained in cork and which, after diffusion in the wine cause the "corky taste".
Elle peut également être utilisée pour le chauffage de divers matériaux ayant des pertes diélectriques et notamment des produits alimentaires. It can also be used for heating various materials with dielectric losses and in particular food products.
