The requirement of the equipment is huge for the application scene with large aging amount of the wine. The conventional method at present is a direct contact method, wherein an ultrasonic generator is directly extended into a wine container and is directly contacted with wine; yet another approach is to pour the wine into a stainless steel aging tank directly connected to an ultrasonic generator. Both of the two modes belong to a direct contact ageing method, and the problem of temperature rise is necessarily caused when the ultrasonic generator works, particularly when the ultrasonic generator continuously works for a long time. The problem of alcohol volatilization is necessarily brought about by the rise of the temperature of the wine, and the quality of the wine is influenced. The problem that the wine cannot be well sealed and aged is caused no matter the wine is poured into a stainless steel ageing groove or an ultrasonic generator is directly mixed with the wine. There is also a tendency for the ageing tank to be easily soiled and to require special cleaning for each use, so there is no change in use.

The wine ageing needs to be finished by opening a cover of the wine, directly contacting the wine or pouring the wine into a special device. The fact that the ordinary consumer purchases bottled wine also means that the cap must be opened, i.e. the wine must be drunk immediately. In most occasions, the tea is hoped to be aged in advance and drunk according to actual needs after being aged.

Ultrasonic waves are mostly applied to the cleaning industry and are only recently applied to wine aging, but at present, a direct contact aging method is mainly adopted, and the aging of the original wine can not be directly carried out under the condition of no unsealing or the aging effect is poor. The wine bottle has the problems that the original wine bottles are various in size and shape and thick in bottom, so that the existing equipment cannot be compatible to achieve a good aging effect on various wine bottles. In order to solve the problem, the ultrasonic generator is specially improved, and the material and the structure are improved in size. The ultrasonic generator includes: fine tooth fastening screws 201, a front cover 202, a silica gel isolation sleeve 203, piezoelectric

ceramic plates

204 and 206, a positive electrode piece 205, a negative electrode piece 207 and a rear cover 208. The main improvement point is that the material adopted by the front cover 202 is changed from a conventional aluminum material to a steel material; while reducing the thickness of the front cover. The other important improvement is that the opening angle of the aluminum thick cover is changed, and the whole opening angle is expanded. The two improvements aim to realize that the ultrasonic generator obtains better directivity, realize that the ultrasonic wave emitted by the ultrasonic generator is impacted upwards, and reduce the energy loss caused by diffusion to the edge. Thereby achieving the purpose of effectively transmitting the ultrasonic waves to the wine bottle arranged on a horizontal plane as much as possible. Through a large number of experiments, select the piezoceramics piece of diameter 35mm, the protecgulum adopts the steel material to make, and the height is 11.0 ~ 12.0mm, the height of back lid is 24.7 ~ 25.7mm, the back lid be the horn mouth, and little end terminal surface bore is 35mm, and big end terminal surface bore is 47.5 ~ 48.5 mm. Preferably, the height of the front cover is 11.5mm, the height of the rear cover is 24.2mm, the rear cover is a bell mouth, the caliber of the small end face is 35mm, and the caliber of the large end face is 48 mm.

One problem that still needs to be solved is if matching a fixed wine bottle, as the wine bottle profile may be non-circular and vary in size. If different hanging structures are respectively customized for different wine bottles, the cost is high, and the types of the wine bottles cannot be exhausted. The invention designs a larger hanging opening at the same time, and the bottom steel of the wine bottle can extend into the liquid level on the stainless steel isolation groove by firstly sleeving the height adjusting ring on the wine bottle to be aged and then hanging the wine bottle on the hanging opening by the height adjusting ring. If only design the altitude mixture control circle of a bore size, even relate to for the flexible glue, it can only satisfy the beverage bottle of bore size in the certain limit, if design elasticity is good, then its inevitable intensity is poor, must not be fine fixed to heavier beverage bottle. In order to solve the problem, the height adjusting ring is designed into rubber rings with at least two calibers, the rubber rings are nested one by one according to the calibers, two adjacent rubber rings are connected through a plurality of radial connecting ribs which are uniformly distributed or/and only one end face of each rubber ring is kept connected, and an annular groove is formed between the two adjacent rubber rings. Taking a rubber ring with 3 calibers as an example, a first rubber ring 101, a second rubber ring 102 and a third rubber ring 103, wherein the first rubber ring 101 is nested in the second inner rubber ring 102, and one end face is connected; the second rubber ring 102 is nested on the third rubber ring 103, and one end face of the second rubber ring is connected with the end face of the third rubber ring; the sum of the heights of the inner rubber ring two 102 and the rubber ring three 103 is the same as that of the rubber ring one 101. Wherein the diameter of the largest rubber ring in a free state is not less than the caliber of the hanging opening.

When the wine bottle to be aged is small, the wine bottle is sleeved with the height adjusting ring, and because the wine bottle is small, the rubber ring at the innermost circle is deformed to fix the wine bottle. When the wine bottle is larger, the rubber ring at the innermost ring is greatly deformed, and a gap is formed between the inner ring and the outer ring, so that a larger deformation space is provided; the inner race groove will begin to deform the outer race as it passes through the annular groove. Each rubber ring can be made to be relatively thinner, and the operation is easier for large-caliber wine bottles and small-caliber bottles. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the soft rubber ring is adopted, the wine bottle hanging device can be suitable for non-circular wine bottles, like a square wine bottle shown in fig. 8, the fixing effect can be achieved, and the purpose of hanging the wine bottle is achieved.

In order to further improve the effect of fixing the wine bottle, a plurality of anti-skid convex parts are uniformly arranged inside the innermost rubber ring in the height adjusting ring, and the anti-skid convex parts are semicircular convex ridges 104.

The ultrasonic generator comprises a main body 6, a height adjusting ring 2, a key lens 3, a touch key board 4, an inner cylinder 5, a main PCB 7, an ultrasonic generator 8, a stainless steel isolation groove 9, an isolation groove sealing ring 11, a pressing ring 12 and a transparent upper cover 14. The ultrasonic generator 8 is arranged at the bottom of the stainless steel isolation groove 9, the transparent upper cover 14 is provided with a circular hanging opening, and the ultrasonic generator 8 is preferably arranged concentrically with the circular hanging opening. The whole bottle of white spirit 1 to be aged is sleeved with a height adjusting ring 2 in advance and then is hung on a circular hanging opening on a transparent upper cover 14. The height of the wine bottle is specially adjusted until the bottom of the wine bottle is well immersed into the liquid level in the stainless steel isolation groove 9, so that the change of the liquid level in the stainless steel isolation groove 9 caused by the wine bottle is reduced to the maximum extent, the wine is immersed into the liquid level to ensure that ultrasonic waves are effectively transmitted into the wine, and the wine is effectively aged. The bottom of the inner cylinder is provided with a through hole for mounting a generator, the upper part of the inner cylinder is provided with an annular or rectangular mounting platform which protrudes outwards, a plurality of screw holes are uniformly arranged on the mounting platform along the circumference, the section of the isolation groove sealing ring is a U-shaped groove, the isolation groove sealing ring is sleeved on the upper edge of the stainless steel isolation groove, the inner cylinder and the pressing ring are connected together through screws, and the isolation groove sealing ring is extruded in the upper direction and the lower direction to fix the stainless steel isolation groove; the lower part of the outer ring of the pressing ring is provided with a downward convex annular convex part, and the upper end part of the main body shell is provided with an annular concave part matched with the annular convex part, so that the whole machine has excellent waterproof performance.

After the wine bottle is installed, the wine can be started to be aged, and through a large number of experiments, the unique air-removing operation is designed, the air-removing operation of the wine is originally created before the wine is aged by formal ultrasonic waves, air bubbles contained in the wine are removed in advance, and the wine aging machine is beneficial to subsequent obsolescence. The degassing procedure is to use 2S as a period, 1S turns on the ultrasonic wave, and 1S turns off the ultrasonic wave. In order to prevent the problem of wine temperature rise caused by the wine aging process, because the wine temperature rise inevitably causes alcohol volatilization and affects the quality of the wine, a pause process needs to be started after the ultrasonic wine aging process is continuously started for a period of time, and the next ultrasonic wine aging process or degassing process can be carried out after the temperature rise caused before is eliminated.

While the invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
