Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a technique for preserving leftover wine or sparkling wine in wine bottles or sparkling wine bottles, and more particularly to a device for evacuating air from wine bottles and adding gas to sparkling wine bottles. Background Technology

[0002] For wine, how to preserve the remaining wine after opening has been a subject of ongoing research. Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 201420348583.2 describes an electric vacuum device for wine bottles. This device includes a charging base and a vacuuming body. In use, the vacuuming body cooperates with a one-way valve placed at the mouth of the wine bottle to extract gas from the bottle. After the gas inside the bottle is reduced, the remaining air in the bottle is also reduced, slowing down the oxidation rate of the remaining wine.

[0003] For sparkling wines, the amount of gas inside the bottle decreases after opening, which affects the taste. To preserve the flavor as much as possible, carbon dioxide or other gases are added to the remaining wine.

[0004] Existing technology has a limitation: it is limited to a single function, meaning a product can only either extract or refill air. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a device with both suction and aeration functions, comprising a housing, a power mechanism, a suction mechanism for suctioning air from a wine bottle, and an aeration mechanism for aeration of sparkling wine bottles, wherein the housing is also provided with an aeration mechanism for aeration of sparkling wine bottles.

[0006] The degassing mechanism can be used with the one-way degassing valve on a wine bottle to remove gas from the bottle. The degassing mechanism can be used with the one-way degassing valve on a sparkling wine bottle to add gas to the sparkling wine.

[0007] By incorporating a gas-filling mechanism, the same device can both evacuate and refill the bottle. Depending on the specific needs, different gases can be added to the bottle to achieve various effects, making it highly adaptable.

[0008] Furthermore, this invention simplifies the internal mechanism by replacing the piston commonly used in the prior art with an electric motor pump, thereby reducing the power transmission mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, by utilizing the aforementioned innovations, this invention improves upon existing pressure relief devices and automatic air pressure detection devices, making them simpler and reducing the number of parts and processes. Attached Figure Description

[0017] See Figure 1 , 2 3, 4, 5, 6. A device with suction and gas filling functions includes a housing (1), a power mechanism (2), and a suction mechanism (3) for suctioning air from a wine bottle and a gas filling mechanism (4) for filling a sparkling wine bottle with gas. The housing (1) is cylindrical, the suction mechanism (3) is at one end of the housing (1), and the gas filling mechanism (4) is at the other end of the housing (1).

[0018] See Figure 2 , 3 4, 5, 6. The air extraction mechanism (3) includes a motor pump (2.2), an air extraction hose (3.1), and a vacuum nozzle (3.2). The motor pump (2.2) is equipped with an air extraction pipe (2.2.1) and an air outlet pipe (2.2.2). One end of the air extraction hose (3.1) is connected to the air extraction pipe (2.2.1), and the other end is connected to the vacuum nozzle (3.2).

[0019] It also includes a sealing gasket (6), which is cap-shaped and has a vent hole (6.1) in the center. The sealing gasket (6) covers the vacuum nozzle (3.2), and the vent hole (6.1) and the vacuum nozzle (3.2) are connected to form an air channel.

[0020] It also includes a vacuum switch (7) and a control circuit (8). The vacuum switch (7) is electrically connected to the control circuit (8), and the control circuit (8) is electrically connected to the motor pump (2.2). The vacuum switch (7) sends a start or stop signal to the motor pump (2.2) through the control circuit (8).

[0021] It also includes a vacuum button (9), which is located above the sealing gasket (6). The sealing gasket (6) is located between the vacuum nozzle (3.2) and the vacuum button (9). The vacuum button (9) is provided with a buckle (9.1), which is fastened to the through hole (1.1) on the housing (1). A column (9.2) is provided on the vacuum button (9), which is aligned with the vacuum switch (7). The vacuum button (9) has a hollow button hole (9.3), through which the vacuum nozzle (3.2) can extend and contact the bottle stopper with a one-way valve placed at the bottle mouth.

[0022] It also includes a vacuum spring (10), one end of which presses against the vacuum button (9), and the other end presses against the housing (1).

[0023] When the vacuum is working, align the vacuum nozzle (3.2) with the bottle stopper with a one-way valve placed at the bottle mouth, press the vacuum button (9) inward and compress the vacuum spring (10). The column (9.2) on the vacuum button (9) moves inward and activates the vacuum switch (7). The vacuum switch (7) sends a start signal to the motor pump (2.2) through the control circuit (8). The gas passes through the one-way valve, enters from the vacuum nozzle (3.2), and enters the motor pump (2.2) through the vacuum hose (3.1) and the vacuum pipe (2.2.1). Then the gas passes through the outlet pipe (2.2.2), the gas filling hose (4.1), and the gas filling hard pipe (4.2) and is discharged from the gas filling nozzle (12). This achieves the extraction of air from the bottle, prevents the wine from being further oxidized by the air, and seals the bottle mouth through the one-way valve to prevent atmospheric air from entering the bottle, thus meeting the preservation requirements.

[0024] See Figure 2 , 34, 5, 6. The present invention also includes an automatic air pressure detection device (15), which includes a pressure sensor (15.1) and a sealing cover (15.2). The sealing cover (15.2) is mounted on the control circuit (8). The pressure sensor (15.1) is electrically connected to the control circuit (8) and is mounted inside the sealing cover (15.2). The suction hose (3.1) is a first three-way hose. The sealing cover (15.2) is connected to the middle interface of the first three-way hose. One end of the first three-way hose is connected to the suction pipe (2.2.1), and the other end is connected to the vacuum nozzle (3.2).

[0025] During the vacuuming process, the vacuum level inside the bottle can be controlled by the automatic air pressure detection device (15). When the pressure sensor (15.1) detects that the air pressure inside the first three-way hose reaches a certain preset vacuum level, the microcontroller on the control circuit (8) obtains the vacuum pressure data of the pressure sensor (15.1) through a query method. The control circuit (8) then sends a stop working signal to the motor pump (2.2) to achieve the set vacuum level suitable for vacuum preservation. The system is highly intelligent.

[0026] See Figure 2 , 3 4, 5, 6. The gas filling mechanism (4) includes a motor pump (2.2), a gas filling hose (4.1) and a gas filling hard pipe (4.2). The motor pump (2.2) is equipped with a suction pipe (2.2.1) and a gas outlet pipe (2.2.2). One end of the gas filling hose (4.1) is connected to the gas outlet pipe (2.2.2), and the other end is connected to the gas filling hard pipe (4.2).

[0027] It also includes a gas filling switch (11), which is installed on the housing (1). The gas filling switch (11) is electrically connected to the control circuit (8), which is electrically connected to the motor pump (2.2). The gas filling switch (11) sends a start or stop signal to the motor pump (2.2) through the control circuit (8).

[0028] It also includes a gas nozzle (12), and the gas filling tube (4.2) is integrally formed with the gas nozzle (12) and is located at the center of the inner side of the gas nozzle (12). A gas nozzle column (12.1) is provided on the gas nozzle (12), and the gas nozzle column (12.1) and the gas filling switch (11) are arranged on the same straight line.

[0029] The gas nozzle (12) is a circular mechanism, and its nozzle is smaller than the rest of the part. A boss (12.2) is provided on the other end of the gas nozzle (12). The boss (12.2) can hold the housing (1) and fix the gas nozzle (12) to one end of the housing (1).

[0030] It also includes a gas spring (13), which covers the gas nozzle (12). One end of the gas spring (13) abuts against the boss (12.2) on the gas nozzle (12), and the other end abuts against the housing (1).

[0031] When the gas filling is in operation, align the gas filling nozzle (12) with the bottle stopper with a one-way valve placed at the bottle mouth, press the gas filling nozzle (12) inward and compress the gas filling spring (13). The gas nozzle column (12.1) on the gas filling nozzle (12) moves inward and activates the gas filling switch (11). The gas filling switch (11) sends a start signal to the motor pump (2.2) through the control circuit (8). Gas enters from the vacuum suction nozzle (3.2), passes through the suction hose (3.1) and suction pipe (2.2.1) into the motor pump (2.2), and then passes through the outlet pipe (2.2.2), gas filling hose (4.1), and gas filling hard pipe (4.2) into the bottle through the gas filling nozzle (12) and the one-way valve on the bottle stopper. The one-way valve seals the bottle mouth and maintains the gas pressure inside the bottle. By adding different gases to the bottle according to different needs, various effects can be achieved. For example, air or carbon dioxide gas can be extracted and added to sparkling wine bottles for preservation, or inert gases such as nitrogen can be extracted and added to bottles that are easily oxidized by oxygen for preservation, making it highly adaptable.

[0032] See Figure 2 , 3 4, 5, 6. The present invention also includes a pressure relief device (14), which includes a vent valve seat (14.1), a vent spring (14.2), a sealing ring (14.3), a vent bracket (14.4), and a vent hole (14.5). The vent bracket (14.4) is hollow inside and has an air hole (14.6). The vent bracket (14.4) is installed on the inner wall of the housing (1). The vent valve seat (14.1) is disposed inside the vent bracket (14.4). The sealing ring (14.3) covers the vent valve seat (14.1). One end of the vent valve seat (14.1) is inserted into the vent spring (14.2), and the other end is inserted into the vent hole (14.5). One end of the vent spring (14.2) abuts against the vent valve seat (14.1), and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the vent bracket (14.4).

[0033] The gas filling hose (4.1) is a second three-way hose. The middle interface of the second three-way hose is connected to the vent hole (14.5) on the pressure relief device (14). One end of the second three-way hose is connected to the gas outlet pipe (2.2.2), and the other end is connected to the gas filling hard pipe (4.2).

[0034] During the gas filling process, pressure can be released through the pressure relief device (14). Under the elastic force of the venting spring (14.2), the venting valve seat (14.1) and the venting hole (14.5) are tightly fitted together by the sealing ring (14.3). When the gas pressure inside the bottle exceeds the pressure of the venting spring (14.2), the venting valve seat (14.1) will be pushed open, and the venting valve seat (14.1) and the venting hole (14.5) will be opened. The gas inside the bottle enters the venting bracket (14.4) through the venting hole (14.5) and is discharged from the shell gap (1.2), thereby reducing the pressure inside the bottle and ensuring that the bottle will not burst due to excessive gas pressure during the gas filling process.
