Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage drinking equipment and relates to a beverage barrel. Background Art

[0002] Beverage drinking equipment generally includes a beverage barrel and a beverage dispenser. A wine spear is provided at the barrel mouth of the beverage barrel, and a valve core is provided in the wine spear. The valve core can seal the container mouth of the beverage container. When in use, the beverage barrel is inverted and installed on the beverage dispenser. The top core on the beverage dispenser can push open the valve core on the wine spear of the beverage barrel to realize liquid discharge.

[0003] At present, there is a popular beverage barrel with a flexible bag inside the barrel on the market, such as the beverage barrel disclosed in Chinese patent CN 112938150A. When this beverage barrel is inverted on a beverage dispenser for use, high-pressure gas must be input into the beverage barrel, otherwise it will be difficult to discharge liquid. The reason is that the flexible bag filled with beverages fills the inner wall of the beverage barrel, resulting in no air in the barrel, that is, no air pressure outside the flexible bag. As a result, if high-pressure gas is not input into the bag, the liquid in the bag will be difficult to flow out without the action of external pressure. To this end, for the solution without filling with high-pressure gas, those skilled in the art thought of separating the flexible bag from the inner wall of the beverage barrel by setting a barrier. For example, Chinese patent CN101489886B discloses a container for fluid, an insert, and a method for filling a container. In this method, the partition is fixed by welding the partition to the flange of the valve. In the prior art, the valve is also called a wine spear, and the partition is also called a barrier. In the above scheme, the flexible bag and the inner wall of the beverage barrel can be separated by the barrier, so that the inner cavity of the beverage barrel is connected to the air path of the wine spear. In this way, when the flange moves up and the air path in the wine spear is opened, the outside air can enter the barrel through the air path of the wine spear, so that there is air pressure between the flexible bag and the inner cavity of the beverage barrel, and then the liquid in the flexible bag can flow out.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing disclosed solution of setting a barrier has the following defects: when the dispenser opens the wine spear, the flange in the wine spear moves upward to open the air path. At this time, the barrier is squeezed by the flexible bag filled with beverages and is subjected to downward pressure, and the upward movement of the flange exerts an upward pulling force on the barrier. Under the action of the downward pressure and the upward pulling force, the connection between the barrier and the flange is prone to deformation or even breakage, which makes the gas path originally constructed by the barrier prone to blockage, thereby affecting the air intake and further affecting the liquid discharge from the beverage barrel, causing the beverage barrel to easily malfunction when used upside down, and the reliability is not high. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and propose a beverage barrel. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to ensure that the air path of the beverage barrel is unobstructed when it is used inverted to improve its reliability.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a beverage barrel, comprising a barrel body and a wine spear connected to the barrel mouth of the barrel body, the wine spear comprising a bushing and a flange that can move upward relative to the bushing, a flexible bag is provided in the barrel body, and a barrier is provided between the flexible bag and the inner wall of the barrel body, characterized in that a connecting ring is provided at the lower end of the barrier, the connecting ring is in a flat ring shape, the barrier is connected to the outer periphery of the connecting ring, the inner periphery of the connecting ring is movably sleeved on the main body of the flange, the connecting ring is located between the flange portion and the upper end face of the bushing, the upper surface of the connecting ring faces the flange portion, and the lower surface of the connecting ring faces the upper end face of the bushing and abuts against the upper end face of the bushing.

[0007] Different from the prior art, the utility model improves the structure and connection of the barrier to ensure the stability of the barrier during use, thereby avoiding the impact of the gas path originally constructed by the barrier on the beverage barrel due to displacement or deformation of the barrier, thereby ensuring that the overall gas path is unobstructed during the inverted use of the beverage barrel, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel. Specifically, a connecting ring structure is designed at the lower end of the barrier, and the connecting ring is designed to be a flat ring. The barrier is connected to the outer periphery of the connecting ring, and then the connecting ring is movably sleeved on the main body of the flange. This design makes the connecting ring the basis for connecting and supporting the barrier, so that the barrier body does not need to be connected to the movable flange, and the connecting ring and the flange body are movably sleeved. That is to say, the flange will not pull the connecting ring when it moves upward, thereby preventing the barrier from being pulled, deformed or broken by the movement of the flange, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the barrier and further ensuring the stability of the air path constructed by the beverage barrel; and, since the connecting ring is also located between the flange flange and the upper end surface of the bushing, this design prevents the flexible bag from being pressed on the connecting ring by the flange flange, thereby preventing the connecting ring from being compressed and deformed, thereby ensuring that the connecting ring can provide stable connection and support for the barrier; at the same time, since the upper surface of the connecting ring is positive The lower surface of the flanged portion of the flange is directly opposite to the upper end surface of the bushing and abuts against the upper end surface of the bushing. Such a design is also conducive to the stable support of the connecting ring on the upper end surface of the bushing; therefore, when the beverage barrel is installed on the beverage dispenser, the dispenser controls the flange to move upward relative to the bushing to open the air path of the wine spear. Based on the coordinated design of the connecting ring and its installation position and connection method, the barrier will not be pulled by the flange as the flange moves upward, thereby ensuring that the barrier will not be displaced or deformed, thereby ensuring the stability of its connection. Moreover, under the action of the liquid pressure in the flexible bag, the barrier is also very stable during use by relying on the support of the connecting ring by transferring force to the connecting ring. That is, under the joint action of the above favorable factors, the influence of the unstable barrier structure on the overall air path of the constructed beverage barrel is avoided, thereby ensuring that the air path is unobstructed when the beverage barrel is used inverted, and ensuring that the beverage barrel can discharge liquid smoothly and reliably, thereby greatly improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0008] In the beverage barrel, the barrier is strip-shaped and folded upward relative to the connecting ring. The lower end of the barrier is connected to the connecting ring via ribs. There are a plurality of ribs arranged at intervals on the outer circumference of the connecting ring, and an air hole is formed between two adjacent ribs. The air hole design is helpful to improve the air permeability of the barrier, thereby ensuring that the air path is unobstructed when the beverage barrel is inverted for use, so that the beverage barrel can discharge liquid more smoothly and reliably, and improve the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0009] In the beverage barrel described above, a plurality of barrier ribs extending along the length direction of the barrier are raised on the surface of the barrier facing the flexible bag, and the plurality of barrier ribs are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the barrier, and an air guide channel is formed between two adjacent barrier ribs. Through the above design, the barrier ribs facing the flexible bag side can further separate the flexible bag, and the formed air guide channel can better guide the air entering the barrel from bottom to top, so that a more sufficient ventilation air path can be formed between the flexible bag and the inner wall of the beverage barrel, which is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the air path constructed by the barrier in the beverage barrel, so that the liquid can be discharged more smoothly and reliably when the beverage barrel is used inverted, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0010] In the beverage barrel described above, a plurality of barrier ribs extending along the length direction of the barrier are raised on the surface of the barrier facing away from the flexible bag, and the plurality of barrier ribs are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the barrier, and an air guide channel is formed between two adjacent barrier ribs. Through the above design, the barrier ribs on the side facing away from the flexible bag can further separate the flexible bag, and the formed air guide channel can better guide the air entering the barrel from bottom to top, so that a more sufficient ventilation air path can be formed between the flexible bag and the inner wall of the beverage barrel, which is beneficial to improve the smoothness of the air path constructed by the barrier in the beverage barrel, so that the beverage barrel can be more smoothly and reliably discharged when used inverted, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0011] In the beverage barrel, the positions and numbers of the air guide channels and the air outlets correspond one to one, and the lower end of each air guide channel is connected to the corresponding air outlet. Through the coordinated design of the air outlet and the air guide channel, the air entering the barrel body can be guided into the air guide channel more smoothly through the air outlet, which is conducive to further improving the smoothness of the air path constructed by the barrier, so that the beverage barrel can be more smoothly and reliably discharged when it is used inverted, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0012] In the beverage barrel, the barrier is in strip shape, and the upper end of the barrier has an arc-shaped support portion. When the barrier is squeezed onto the inner wall of the barrel by the liquid in the flexible bag, the upper end of the barrier is not easily deformed by pressure through the design of the support portion, and has good support strength, thereby ensuring that the barrier can better separate the flexible bag from the inner wall of the barrel, which is conducive to further improving the smoothness of the gas path constructed by the barrier, so that the beverage barrel can be used inverted to discharge liquid more smoothly and reliably, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0013] In the beverage barrel, the barrier is in strip shape, the upper end of the barrier extends toward the barrel bottom of the barrel, and the length of the barrier is not less than half of the barrel depth. Through the above design, the barrier can separate more ventilation space, so that the beverage barrel can be used inverted to discharge liquid more smoothly and reliably, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0014] In the beverage barrel, the barrier is in strip shape, there are at least two barriers, and they are evenly arranged along the outer circumference of the connecting ring. Through the above design, the barrier can separate more ventilation spaces and construct more air paths, so that the beverage barrel can be used inverted to discharge liquid more smoothly and reliably, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0015] In the beverage barrel described above, there is an air passage between the bushing and the flange, and the air passage is opened by moving the flange upward. An air gap is provided between the lower surface of the connecting ring and the upper end surface of the bushing, and the air gap is used to connect the inner cavity of the barrel body and the air passage. Through the above air gap design, the air output by the air passage can enter the barrel body more smoothly, so that the beverage barrel can be more smoothly and reliably discharged when it is used inverted, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel. If the air gap is not specially designed, air will also enter from the gap between the connecting ring and the bushing, but the circulation efficiency will be relatively low.

[0016] In the beverage barrel described above, the air gap is an air groove provided on the upper end surface of the bushing, and the two ends of the air groove respectively penetrate the inner circumference and the outer circumference of the upper end of the bushing, and the diameter of the connecting ring is smaller than the upper end diameter of the bushing. Through the above connecting ring diameter design, the obstruction of the air groove by the connecting ring can be reduced, which is conducive to ensuring the smoothness of the air flow at the air groove, and is conducive to further improving the smoothness of the air path constructed by the barrier, so that the beverage barrel can be used inverted to discharge liquid more smoothly and reliably, thereby improving the reliability of the beverage barrel.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beverage barrel has the following advantages: after the structure and connection of the barrier inside the beverage barrel are cleverly redesigned, the barrier is not affected by the upward movement of the flange, and the connection is stable and reliable, so that the air path in the barrel formed by the barrier is very stable and unobstructed, and the liquid discharge is very smooth and reliable when the beverage barrel is inverted for use, and the liquid discharge failure rate is extremely low, which greatly improves the reliability of the beverage barrel when used inverted.
