Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of red wine decanting products, in particular to a decanting cabinet. Background Art

[0002] In the art of wine appreciation and enjoyment, the decanting process of red wine plays a crucial role. The traditional method is to slowly pour the red wine into a decanter. This step aims to promote in-depth communication between the wine and air through static placement or manual shaking, thereby unlocking the deep fragrance levels of the wine, softening its tannin structure, and effectively removing any possible attached sediment, completing its magnificent transformation. Subsequently, the decanted red wine is cooled in a refrigeration device. This not only adjusts the wine body to the optimal drinking temperature but also subtly enhances the flavor profile and aroma expression of the red wine, improving the overall tasting enjoyment. However, the above traditional decanting and freezing methods have problems such as cumbersome operation, long time consumption, and inconvenient use. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the problems of cumbersome operation and long time consumption in the existing method of using a decanting bottle for decanting, and to provide a quick-cooling decanting cabinet with short time consumption and simple decanting operation.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A decanting cabinet, comprising a cabinet body, a cabinet door, a wine liquid collecting trough, a refrigeration structure, and a decanting tray; the cabinet body is provided with a cabinet cavity having an opening at the top or side; the cabinet door is used to open or close the cabinet cavity; the wine liquid collecting trough is used to collect the wine to be decanted, and its bottom is provided with a liquid outlet hole; the refrigeration structure includes a cold conduction pipe, a fan, and a variable-diameter air guiding structure. The variable-diameter air guiding structure is located between the cold conduction pipe and the fan. The upper end of the cold conduction pipe is connected to the liquid outlet hole, and its lower end extends downward to the decanting tray. The variable-diameter air guiding structure is provided with air inlets and air outlets on both sides. The inner diameter of the air outlet is smaller than the inner diameter of the air inlet. The fan is located on one side of the air inlet, and the cold conduction pipe is located on one side of the air outlet. The air flow generated by the fan cools the cold conduction pipe through throttling expansion after flowing through the variable-diameter air guiding structure; the decanting tray is used to receive the wine liquid discharged from the lower end of the cold conduction pipe.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, for the decanter of the present utility model, when it is necessary to decant and freeze the unconsumed red wine, by opening the cork of the red wine bottle and tilting the red wine bottle, the red wine flows into the liquid collection trough and enters the cold conduction tube through the liquid outlet hole. Utilizing the Joule-Thomson effect, the air flow generated by the fan flows through the variable-diameter air guiding structure and then changes its flow direction through throttling expansion to flow to the cold conduction tube, thereby refrigerating the wine liquid in the cold conduction tube. After being frozen in the cold conduction tube, the wine liquid flows into the decanting tray. By increasing the liquid surface area, the secondary large-area contact with oxygen is increased, promoting the oxidation reaction and accelerating the decanting efficiency, thereby softening the tannins, emitting the wine fragrance, improving the taste of the red wine, and making the wine liquid have a better decanting effect. Through this series of gravity flow and refrigeration of the cold conduction tube and the decanting tray, the normal-temperature wine liquid can be quickly frozen and quickly decanted, enabling the red wine to be quickly consumed without long waiting. The operations of freezing and decanting the wine liquid are simple, time-consuming is short, and it is convenient for users to use.

[0009] Further, the cold conduction tube is a disc-shaped cold conduction tube, and a plurality of groups of the variable-diameter air guiding structure and the fan are arranged along the width direction or the length direction of the cold conduction tube; by such a setting, the flowing time of the wine liquid in the cold conduction tube and the frozen area of the cold conduction tube are effectively increased, the refrigeration time of the wine liquid is longer, and the freezing effect of the wine liquid is better.

[0010] Further, a flow splitting structure is also provided between the decanting tray and the lower end of the cold conduction tube. The flow splitting structure is used to divide the wine liquid discharged from the lower end of the cold conduction tube into multiple branches and enter the decanting tray; by such a setting, the wine liquid flowing out from the lower end of the cold conduction tube is pre-split by the flow splitting structure to contact the air and then further enter the decanting tray, enabling the wine liquid entering the decanting tray to spread more quickly in the decanting tray and quickly increase the contact area with the air. Through multi-stage decanting of the wine liquid, the tannins are softened, the wine fragrance is emitted, the taste of the red wine is improved, and the wine liquid has a better decanting effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the flow splitting structure includes a guiding plate and a number of flow splitters disposed on the guiding plate. The guiding plate is inclined and its lower end is connected to the decanting tray. A number of flow splitters are disposed on the upper side of the inclined surface of the guiding plate, and a plurality of the flow splitters are respectively provided along the lower side direction and the horizontal direction of the inclined surface; the flow splitters are triangular flow splitters or arc-shaped flow splitters; with such a setting, the setting method of the flow splitters is simple and the wine liquid splitting effect is good.

[0012] Furthermore, the decanting tray is inclined, and a wine liquid collection port is provided on the lower side of the decanting tray; with such a setting, after the wine liquid is frozen and decanted, the user can collect and drink the red wine through the wine liquid collection port, saving the operation of manually pouring out the wine liquid by the user and facilitating the user to drink.
