Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a wine storage device and its usage method, belonging to the technical field of wine extraction equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing barrels are the preferred choice for storing and retailing beer, spirits, wine, sparkling beverages, and other alcoholic drinks in restaurants, bars, shops, and homes. The dispensing valve typically extends horizontally outward from the inside of the barrel, ideally located on the lower side, near the bottom.

[0003] Typically, wine barrels with dispensing valves are placed on a table or fixed surface, ideally near the edge, with the dispensing valve on the outer side, protruding beyond the edge of the table or fixed surface. This makes it easy to retrieve the wine from the valve. However, since the barrel only has this one opening, a large amount of high-pressure gas is needed to force the wine out. The pressure of this high-pressure gas is difficult to control, and the presence of high-pressure carbon dioxide in the wine creates pressure imbalances inside and outside the barrel. This can lead to problems such as wine spraying out, excessive foam in the drinking container with insufficient liquid, overflow, incomplete flow, and flow rates that are too slow or too fast. Therefore, we propose a wine storage device and its usage method that facilitates wine retrieval. Summary of the Invention

[0061] As one implementation, connector 3 53 includes an inner container 22 and an outer container 23. A liquid passage 24 is provided between the inner container 22 and the outer container 23 to allow the wine to flow between the inner container 22 and the outer container 23, thus meeting its transmission requirements.

[0062] A locking block 25 is provided on the outer side of the outer receiving part 23, and a locking hole 26 is provided on the second connector 52. The locking block 25 is locked in the locking hole 26, so that the third connector 53 can be firmly connected to the second connector 52, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0063] A limiting block 27 is provided on the inner side of the inner part 22. The elastic component includes a spring 28 and an elastic cover 29. The spring 28 is located between the elastic cover 29 and the limiting block 27, which can protect the vent pipe 7 from damage during assembly and ensure that the vent pipe 7 maintains a stable position and state during long-term use. The end of the vent pipe 7 away from the faucet seat 6 passes through the wine dispensing head 8, the connector 4 54 and the elastic cover 29 in sequence, and extends into the interior of the spring 28. This arrangement helps to enhance the connection stability between the wine dispenser 3 and the wine barrel 2.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, a limiting strip 30 is also provided on the inner side of the inner storage part 22. The limiting strip 30 is located around the spring 28 to limit the radial movement of the spring 28, so that it can extend and retract normally along the set path, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the wine storage device.

[0065] In an embodiment of the present invention, a connecting pipe 31 is inserted into one end of the contents 22 away from the mouth of the barrel 2. The other end of the connecting pipe 31 away from the contents 22 extends to the bottom of the barrel 2 for venting, which is beneficial for regulating the air pressure inside the barrel 2.

[0066] As one implementation method, a sealing ring is provided on the outside of the dispensing head 8. The sealing ring abuts against the connecting part 2 52 to prevent the wine from flowing out from the gap between the dispensing head 8 and the connecting part 2 52, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the wine dispenser 3 and the wine barrel 2.

[0067] There is a gap between the connector 4 54 and the contents 22 so that the wine can pass through the gap and reach between the connector 4 54 and the elastic cover 29, and then flow smoothly out from the wine outlet 8.

[0068] As one implementation method, refer to Figure 7-11 The wine dispenser 3 also includes a wine outlet pipe 32, a wine outlet 33, an air outlet 34, a sealing pipe, a stroke knob 35, and a faucet cap 36. The air outlet pipe 7 and the wine outlet pipe 32 are arranged side by side, and the air outlet 34 and the wine outlet 33 are arranged side by side. The compact structure allows the wine dispensing operation and the venting operation to be carried out in different channels, ensuring the quality and taste of the wine. The wine outlet 33, the wine outlet pipe 32, and the wine dispensing head 8 are connected in sequence, and the air outlet 34 is connected to the air outlet pipe 7. The venting channel and the wine dispensing channel are independent and do not interfere with each other, ensuring that the wine flows out at a constant flow rate and improving the user's wine tasting experience.

[0069] The travel knob 35 is located between the sealing tube and the faucet cap 36. Rotating the faucet cap 36 drives the travel knob 35 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the sealing tube to selectively open or close the vent 34 and the wine outlet 33. The sealing tube includes a first plug 37 and a second plug 38. The first plug 37 seals between the wine outlet 33 and the wine outlet pipe 32, and the second plug 38 seals between the vent pipe 7 and the vent 34. When no wine is being taken out, both the vent 34 and the wine outlet 33 can be kept closed, preventing accidental leakage of wine or gas and improving safety during use.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present invention, a protrusion 39 is provided on the inner side of the faucet cap 36, and a snap-fit ​​groove 40 is provided on the outer side of the stroke knob 35. The protrusion 39 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 40, so that rotating the faucet cap 36 can drive the stroke knob 35 to rotate. A threaded strip 41 is provided on the inner side of the stroke knob 35, and a protrusion 42 is provided on the outer side of the sealing tube. The protrusion 42 abuts against the threaded strip 41. When the stroke knob 35 rotates, the sealing tube moves forward or backward due to the shift of the abutment position, thereby closing or opening the air outlet 34 and the wine outlet 33.

[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, a retaining ring 43 is provided around the end of the wine dispenser 3 away from the wine barrel 2, and an observation port 44 is provided on the faucet cap 36. A stop block 45 is provided on the inner side of the observation port 44. The retaining ring 43 abuts against the stop block 45, so that the faucet cap 36 can be fixedly connected to one end of the wine dispenser 3, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the wine dispenser 3.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, the travel knob 35 and the wine dispenser 3 are sealed together by a sealing ring to prevent the wine from leaking onto the wine dispenser 3; the heads of the first plug 37 and the second plug 38 are both provided with sealing sleeves, and the sealing sleeves are tightly fitted with the vent pipe 7 and the wine outlet pipe 32, which improves the sealing performance of the wine dispenser 3, prevents the wine from evaporating and oxidizing, and keeps it in the best drinking condition.

[0073] In embodiments of the present invention, the materials of the sealing ring, sealing sleeve, and elastic cover 29 can be rubber, silicone, polyurethane, soft plastic, etc. The embodiments of the present invention do not limit the materials of the sealing ring, sealing sleeve, and elastic cover 29, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0074] In this solution, the above-mentioned structural form is adopted, which makes the various components of the wine storage device cooperate with each other and interlock, effectively ensuring the stability and sealing of the wine storage device, thereby ensuring its safety and convenience of use, and greatly improving the quality of the wine and the wine tasting experience; at the same time, it further makes the structure of the wine storage device compact and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0075] The present invention also provides a method of using a wine storage device, comprising the following steps:

[0076] (1) Rotate the faucet cap 36 counterclockwise and drive the stroke knob 35 to the first stroke. At this time, the sealing tube moves toward the faucet cap 36, the air outlet 34 and the air outlet pipe 7 are connected, and the first plug 37 is still blocked between the wine outlet pipe 32 and the wine outlet 33.

[0077] (2) Continue to rotate the faucet cap 36 counterclockwise and drive the stroke knob 35 to the second stroke. The sealing tube continues to move toward the faucet cap 36, so that the wine outlet pipe 32 and the wine outlet 33 are connected. During this process, the air outlet 34 and the air outlet pipe 7 are always connected.

[0078] (3) After taking the wine, rotate the faucet cap 36 clockwise until the first plug 37 blocks the wine outlet 33 and the wine pipe 32, and the second plug 38 blocks the air outlet pipe 7 and the air outlet 34.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, the faucet cap 36 is first rotated to drive the stroke knob 35 to the first stroke, thereby depressurizing the air pressure inside the barrel 2, so that the air pressure inside the barrel 2 is equal to the external air pressure, and no spraying of wine will occur when taking out the wine. Then the stroke knob 35 is rotated to the second stroke, and the wine outlet 33 and the wine outlet pipe 32 are connected, and the wine is dispensed under equal pressure. At this time, the air outlet 34 and the air outlet pipe 7 are continuously connected. If the air pressure inside the barrel 2 is less than the air pressure outside the barrel 2, the air will automatically flow into the barrel 2 under the pressure difference, so that the air pressure inside and outside the barrel 2 is always consistent, and thus the wine can be dispensed continuously at a balanced flow rate.

[0080] The rotation angle of the first stroke is 20-30°, preferably 25°, which enables precise control of the wine dispensing process and avoids phenomena such as wine spraying or slow flow rate caused by unequal pressure inside and outside the wine barrel 2, thus ensuring the quality of the wine.

[0081] By adopting the above-mentioned structural form, the wine storage device can achieve a balanced flow rate of wine dispensing by simply adjusting the rotation angle of the faucet cap 36 during use, ensuring the quality of the wine and improving the wine tasting experience. Furthermore, the wine storage device is suitable for various liquids, especially carbonated beverages such as beer and sparkling wine.

[0082] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the system embodiments are basically similar to the method embodiments, so the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions in the method embodiments.

[0083] The above are merely embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
