[0029] In detail, when the first smelling of aroma ends, the first motor 112 drives the plurality of wine storage devices 300 to swing through the clamping seat 113, and wine flowers are generated during the process for the user to observe and identify.

[0030] It should be noted that the heat preservation cover 200 can keep the wine sample at the optimal evaluation temperature of 20-25℃, preventing the temperature of the wine sample from being too low in winter and early spring, and the aroma from being diffused out, which can cause misjudgment; the wine table 100 is provided with a control terminal for the user to select the volume of the discharged gas when smelling the aroma and the volume of the output wine when tasting; a side of the tabletop is provided with a mouth cleaning pool for mouth washing; the wine storage device 300 is made of transparent material.

[0031] Further, as shown in Figures 2 to 9 the smelling assembly 12 includes a bottle plug 121 connected to the port of the wine storage device 300, a wine rubbing groove 122 opened at the bottom of the bottle plug 121, a T-shaped tube 123 penetrating through the top of the bottle plug 121 and having two groups of inlet ends respectively connected to the inner wall of the top of the bottle plug 121 and the top of the wine rubbing groove 122, and a smelling cup 124 connected to the outlet end of the top of the T-shaped tube 123; the lighting assembly 13 includes a lighting lamp 131 connected to the bearing table 111, a power supply seat 132 connected to the bearing table 111, and a communication seat 133 connected to the clamping seat 113 and used for cooperating with the power supply seat 132 to light up the lighting lamp 131.

[0032] In the embodiment, the wine aroma stays longer in the wine smelling cup 124, and can more fully fill the internal space of the wine smelling cup 124, which is beneficial to the user to perceive the aroma.

[0033] In detail, when smelling the wine aroma for the first time, the wine aroma enters the T-shaped pipe 123 through the wine rolling groove 122, and finally reaches the wine smelling cup 124. When smelling the wine aroma for the second time, the wine aroma reaches the wine smelling cup 124 through another inlet of the T-shaped pipe 123. After the first time of smelling the wine aroma, the first motor 112 drives the wine storage device 300 to swing, and finally stops at an angle of 30°. The bottom of the wine storage device 300 corresponds to the position of the illuminating lamp 131, and at the same time, the connecting seat 133 is clamped between the power supply seats 132 after the clamping seat 113 rotates, and the illuminating lamp 131 is turned on to provide the user with the observation of the hop and wine liquid wall hanging effect.

[0034] It should be noted that the upper end of the T-shaped pipe 123 is connected with a one-way valve for discharging gas, which is used to prevent the exhaled gas of the person from entering the inside of the wine sample. The two groups of inlet ends are also provided with one-way valves.

[0035] Further, as shown in Figures 2 to 6 the volatilization assembly 14 includes a first rotating pipe 141 connected at the axis position of the bottle plug 121, a driving gear 142 connected on the first rotating pipe 141, an arc-shaped rack 144 connected on the bearing table 111 through a sliding frame 143 and meshed and driven with the driving gear 142, a temporary storage barrel 145 connected at the bottom of the first rotating pipe 141, a second rotating pipe 146 communicated at the bottom of the temporary storage barrel 145, a connecting seat 147 connected on the second rotating pipe 146, a plurality of swing rods 148 connected on the connecting seat 147, a triangular seat 1410 connected at the end of the swing rod 148 through a rotating shaft and connected with a floating ball 149, and a spiral table 1411 connected on the second rotating pipe 146.

[0036] In the embodiment, when the first motor 112 drives the wine storage device 300 to swing, the volatilization assembly 14 uses the triangular seat 1410 and the spiral table 1411 to lift the wine liquid to accelerate the volatilization effect, and further improve the concentration of the wine aroma, which is beneficial to the second time of deep smelling the wine aroma.

[0037] In detail, after the first time of smelling the wine aroma, the wine storage device 300 swings with the clamping seat 113. In the process, the driving gear 142 is meshed and driven with the arc-shaped rack 144, and further drives the first rotating pipe 141, the temporary storage barrel 145 and the second rotating pipe 146 to rotate. When the spiral table 1411 connected on the second rotating pipe 146 rotates clockwise, the middle wine liquid is lifted. A plurality of triangular seats 1410 always float on the surface of the wine liquid under the buoyancy of the floating ball 149, and the wine liquid is also lifted by the triangular block through the inclined surface to accelerate the volatilization of the wine aroma.

[0038] It should be noted that after the clamping buckle 114 is removed, the sliding frame 143 is pushed horizontally to avoid, and then the wine storage device 300 can be disassembled to change the position.

[0039] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figures 3 to 5 The wall wetting assembly 15 includes a guide rail 151 connected to the sliding frame 143, an L-shaped rod 152 penetrating the first rotating pipe 141 and located at one end of the guide rail 151, a piston 153 connected to the end of the L-shaped rod 152 and located in the temporary storage barrel 145, and a plurality of spray ports 150 opened in the circumferential position of the temporary storage barrel 145.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting the wall wetting assembly 15 to spray wine liquid onto the inner wall of the wine storage device 300, the first increases the surface area of the wine liquid to improve the aroma volatilization effect, the second is beneficial to the subsequent observation of the user The wall hanging state of the wine liquid, the third cooperates with the wine rubbing assembly 17 to collect a small amount of wine liquid for wine rubbing and smelling.

[0041] In detail, when the wine storage device 300 swings, the one end of the L-shaped pipe connected in the first rotating pipe 141 moves up and down under the drive of the guide rail 151, and then the piston 153 moves up and down in the temporary storage barrel 145, cooperates with the one-way valve in the second rotating pipe 146, and then continuously extracts the wine liquid from the bottom to the inside of the temporary storage barrel 145, and the wine liquid is sprayed from the plurality of spray ports 150 to the inner wall of the wine storage device 300 under the extrusion of the piston 153. Reset.

[0042] It should be noted that when the wine storage device 300 swings, its amplitude will not trigger the lighting assembly 13, and the last swing before stopping increases the amplitude to turn on the lighting assembly 13.

[0043] Further, as shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 7 The extraction assembly 16 includes a first drive cylinder 161 penetrating the bottle plug 121, a pressure plate 162 connected to the output end of the first drive cylinder 161 and sleeved on the first rotating pipe 141, a first sealing plate 164 connected to the pressure plate 162 through a first torsion spring 163, a second sealing plate 166 connected to the first sealing plate 164 through a second torsion spring 165, and an avoidance slot 167 opened in the bottle plug 121.

[0044] In this embodiment, by setting the extraction assembly 16, the user can select the gas volume needed for smelling through the desktop terminal, on the one hand, due to the fixed volume of the smelling cup 124 and the different perception abilities of the user to the smell, the amount of gas can be controlled to adapt to their own habits, and better effect is achieved, on the other hand, it also prevents the excessive wine aroma from affecting the purity of the surrounding air.

[0045] In detail, when the user sets the gas volume for the second aroma-smelling process via the terminal control, the aroma-smelling process can begin. Multiple first drive cylinders 161 operate sequentially. The output end of the first drive cylinder 161 drives the pressure plate 162 to move downwards. Initially, because the pressure plate 162, together with the first sealing plate 164 and the second sealing plate 166, forms a pressure surface that adheres to the bottle stopper 121, the internal air pressure of the wine storage container 300 increases. A small amount of gas reaches the aroma-smelling cup 124 through the wine-rubbing groove 122 and the T-shaped tube 123. At this time, the user can begin the first aroma-smelling process, lightly sniffing to capture the volatile aroma and perceive the strength of the alcohol. When the pressure plate 162 moves to the protruding position on the inner wall of the bottle stopper 121, due to the first torsion spring 163 and the second... The torsion spring 165 acts to rotate the first sealing plate 164 and the second sealing plate 166 together to open the notch and balance the air pressure. After the pressure plate reaches the designated position, the first smelling of the first group ends, and the second group starts working after a short pause. After the first smelling of multiple groups ends, the wine storage container 300 starts to swing to stimulate the formation of wine aroma. After the user observes the wine foam and the clinging to the wall of multiple groups of wine, multiple first drive cylinders 161 start to reset in sequence. During the reset process, the second sealing plate 166 folds and fits against the protrusion of the inner wall of the bottle stopper 121. The pressure plate 162 and the first sealing plate 164 form a pressure surface to drive the wine aroma from the side inlet of the T-shaped tube 123 to the smelling cup 124. At this time, the user can smell the aroma a second time and deeply smell to identify the aroma.

[0046] It should be noted that the bottle stopper 121 is provided with multiple clearance grooves 167 for the second sealing plate 166 to return to its original position at different heights. For example, when the user selects the minimum volume for the second time, the pressure plate 162 moves downward and stops when it passes the first clearance groove 167. During the reset, the second sealing plate 166 can be flattened at the clearance groove 167, and then gradually flattened against the protrusion under the pressure of the protrusion. The first sealing plate 164 can only rotate upward around the first torsion spring 163, and the second sealing plate 166 can only rotate downward around the second torsion spring 165.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 4 to 6 and Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the wine-rubbing assembly 17 includes a second driving cylinder 172 that passes through the top of the bottle stopper 121 and has a squeezing plate 171 connected to its output end, a mounting block 173 connected to the output end of the second driving cylinder 172, a first rubbing plate 175 connected to the mounting block 173 via a telescopic member 174, an arc-shaped groove 176 formed on the squeezing plate 171 to avoid the first rubbing plate 175, a second rubbing plate 178 connected to the wine-rubbing groove 122 via a first spring 177, a vent hole 170 formed on the second rubbing plate 178, and a conduit 179 that communicates with the wine-rubbing groove 122 and has one end located in the vent hole 170.

[0048] In the embodiment, the wine liquid is set to be stirred by the stirring assembly 17 so that the deepest taste of the wine liquid can be stimulated for the user to taste, and the user's ability to distinguish can be improved. In addition, the stirring is performed inside the wine storage device 300, and the volatilization of the smell outside is reduced, and the air in the venue can be better maintained.

[0049] In detail, when the wall moistening assembly 15 works, the wine liquid is sprayed onto the first rubbing plate 175, and the first rubbing plate 175 and the pressing plate 171 are driven by the output end of the second driving cylinder 172 to move upward. In the process, the first rubbing plate 175 presses the inclined surface at the bottom of the second rubbing plate 178, so that the second rubbing plate 178 is contracted, and the friction between the two is increased. Then, at the position where the two can contact and the pressing plate 171 does not touch the second rubbing plate 178, the first rubbing plate 175 is driven by the second driving cylinder 172 to move up and down to start stirring the wine and accelerate the volatilization. After complete volatilization, the first rubbing plate 175 continues to move upward until it reaches the top of the stirring groove 122 and is blocked. At the same time, the pressing plate 171 makes the second rubbing plate 178 completely contract through the inclined surface, and the first rubbing plate 175 enters the arc-shaped groove 176 by the contraction of the telescopic part 174. Then, the volatile gas is pressed into the T-shaped pipe 123. At this time, the second driving cylinder 172 moves up and down at a certain height, cooperates with the one-way valve provided on the pipe 179 and the air hole 170, inhales the gas inside the wine storage device 300 and mixes the gas to send it into the wine-smelling cup 124. The user starts the third time to smell the wine, and the wine-smelling cup 124 is used to stir the wine and smell the wine. Finally, the stirring assembly 17 is reset, the second rubbing plate 178 is reset under the driving of the first spring 177, and the wine storage device 300 is also reset to the vertical state, and is ready for the entrance to taste the wine.

[0050] It should be noted that the contact surface of the first rubbing plate 175 and the second rubbing plate 178 is made of silica gel, and small convex points and grooves are provided on the contact surface to save the wine liquid and increase the friction. According to the needs, a heating module can be provided inside the first rubbing plate 175 and the second rubbing plate 178.

[0051] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 2 and Figures 10 to 11 , the wine taste identification mechanism 2 is further provided on the wine table 100; The wine taste identification mechanism 2 includes a sealing assembly 21 provided on the wine table 100 and used to isolate the wine cup 400 from the outside air, and a cleaning assembly 22 provided below the sealing assembly 21 and used to clean the wine cup 400 in time.

[0052] It is worth mentioning here that by setting the sealing assembly 21 and the cleaning assembly 22 in the wine taste identification mechanism 2, the reset wine cup 400 can be quickly closed and cleaned after each taste of the wine sample, and the situation that the residual wine sample smell on the cup wall is dispersed into the air is greatly reduced, so that the situation that the smell in the venue is mixed and affects the evaluation is solved as time accumulates.

[0053] In detail, after the third smelling work is finished, the user inputs the volume of the entrance amount in the operation terminal, and then the plurality of electromagnetic valves inject the required wine into the wine cup 400 in sequence with a certain time interval for the user to taste. When each group of wine cups 400 is reset, the sealing assembly 21 drives the wine cup 400 to rotate 180° and seals it from the bottom. Then the cleaning assembly 22 cleans the residual wine in the wine cup 400.

[0054] Further, as shown in Figures 1 to 2 and Figures 10 to 11 , the sealing assembly 21 includes a first support 211 and a second support 212 connected in the wine table 100, a lead screw 213 connected to the first support 211, a second motor 214 connected to the first support 211 and having an output end connected to the lead screw 213, a plurality of turnover rods 215 connected to the first support 211 and having one end located in the clamping slot 210 on one side of the wine cup 400, a ratchet gear 216 connected to the turnover rod 215, a sliding block 217 connected to the first support 211 and connected to the lead screw 213, a turnover rack 218 connected to the sliding block 217 and meshing with the ratchet gear 216, a sealing box 2110 connected to the second support 212 through a second spring 219, a guide plate 2111 connected to one side of the sealing box 2110, and a round rod 2112 connected to the sliding block 217.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting the second motor 214 to drive the lead screw 213 and the sliding block 217 to move slowly, the user can first turn the wine cup 400 by 180° after tasting the wine sample and resetting the wine cup 400, and then lift the sealing box 2110 to wrap the wine cup 400 around the cup mouth, preventing the wine smell from spreading into the air.

[0056] In detail, when the solenoid valve below the first set of wine storage containers 300 opens, pouring the wine sample into the wine glass 400, the taste tasting begins. The user tastes this set of wine samples and returns the wine glass 400, causing the slot 210 on the wine glass 400 to fully engage with the flipping rod 215. The above process is then repeated. As the next set of solenoid valves opens, multiple sets of wine samples are tasted in sequence. During this process, the second motor 214 starts, driving the lead screw 213 to rotate. The slider 217 located on the lead screw 213 then begins to move, followed by the flipping rack connected to the slider 217. 218 meshes with the first set of ratchet gears 216, causing the flipping rod 215 to rotate 180°, and the returned wine glass 400 rotates 180° accordingly. Then, the round rod 2112 connected to the slider 217 presses the guide plate 2111, causing the guide plate 2111 to move the sealing box 2110 upward to wrap the mouth of the wine glass 400. At the same time, the cleaning component 22 cleans the wine glass 400 during the wrapping process. After the round rod 2112 separates from the guide plate 2111, the sealing box 2110 returns to its original position under the action of the second spring 219.

[0057] It should be noted that since the second motor 214 rotates at a constant speed, the time for users to drink wine must be within a specified time, which also ensures the fairness of everyone during the tasting; the wine glass 400 is designed with wine grooves on both the top and bottom for alternating use, so that the cleaned end can be kept facing downwards to drain water.

[0058] Example 2 like Figures 1 to 2 and Figures 10 to 11 As shown, components that are the same as or corresponding to those in Embodiment 1 are referred to using the same reference numerals as in Embodiment 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Embodiment 1 are described below. The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is as follows: like Figures 1 to 2 and Figures 10 to 11 As shown, the cleaning assembly 22 includes a drive shaft 222 connected to the second bracket 212 and connected to the lead screw 213 via a belt drive 221, a water pipe 223 passing through the sealed box 2110 and the second bracket 212 and having a through hole 220, a sponge head 224 connected to the top of the water pipe 223, a turbine 225 connected to the second bracket 212 and connected to the water pipe 223, a plurality of worm gears 226 connected to the drive shaft 222 and meshing with the turbine 225, and a water channel 227 opened inside the second bracket 212.

[0059] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 22, in conjunction with the sealing component 21, quickly completes the cleaning of the wine glass 400, effectively reducing the residue of wine in the wine glass 400 and preventing the wine flavor from mixing with the next set of different wines.

[0060] In detail, when the screw rod 213 rotates forward with the second motor 214, the screw rod 213 drives the transmission shaft 222 on the second support 212 to rotate through the belt transmission 221, then drives the water pipe 223 to rotate through the multiple sets of meshed worm gears 226, when the water pipe 223 moves upward with the sealing box 2110, the sponge head 224 also enters the wine cup 400 to rotate and clean, at the same time, when rising to the maximum height, the through hole 220 on the water pipe 223 enters the annular groove part of the water channel 227, so that the cleaning water sequentially passes through the through hole 220, the water pipe 223 and the sponge head 224 to clean the wine cup 400, after all the wine cups 400 are cleaned, the second motor 214 reverses to drive the sliding block 217 to reset, at this time, due to the characteristics of the ratchet gear 216, the turnover rack 218 cannot drive the wine cup 400 to overturn, and at the same time, the guide plate 2111 completes the avoidance work of the round rod 2112 under the action of the second spring 219.

[0061] It should be noted that the water pipe 223 is rotationally connected with the sealing box 2110, and is slidingly connected with the turbine 225, the pipe wall and the annular part of the water channel 227 are sealed by a sealing ring when the water pipe 223 does not rise to the maximum height.
