[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides an electric bottle opener 100 , which includes a housing 10 , a driving device 20 , an auger 30 , a power-off member 40 , a circuit board 50 , and a push switch 60 .

[0025] The drive device 20 is assembled within the housing 10, and the auger 30 is mounted on the driving end of the drive device 20. The drive device 20 is adapted to drive the auger 30 to rotate relative to the housing 10. A disconnect member 40 is movably positioned within the housing 10 along the axial direction Y of the auger 30. A circuit board 50 is assembled within the housing 10 and is electrically connected to the drive device 20. The circuit board 50 is provided with conductive contacts 51.

[0026] The push switch 60 includes a push panel 61 and a conductive member 62. The push panel 61 is movably assembled on the housing 10. The movement of the push panel 61 relative to the housing can drive the conductive member 62 to electrically contact the conductive contact 51. When the conductive member 62 is electrically contacted with the conductive contact 51, the drive device 20 drives the auger 30 to rotate, so that the auger 30 pushes the power-off member 40 toward the conductive contact 51 and the conductive member 62 through the bottle cork it carries, and when the power-off member 40 moves to separate the conductive contact 51 and the conductive member 62, the drive device 20 stops driving the auger 30 to rotate.

[0027] This simplifies the user's operation process, allowing the electric bottle opener 100 to be activated with a simple press. The design of the push panel 61 facilitates effective control of the circuit's on / off state. When the user presses the push panel 61, the conductive member 62 electrically contacts the conductive contact 51, closing the circuit and activating the drive mechanism 20 to cause the auger 30 to begin rotating and spiraling into the cork. As the auger 30 rotates, the cork gradually approaches the disconnect member 40, where it contacts the disconnect member 40, allowing the cork to push the disconnect member 40 along the axial direction Y of the auger 30. When the disconnect member 40 reaches the designated position, its position change naturally disconnects the conductive contact 51 from the conductive member 62, automatically stopping the drive mechanism 20 without requiring additional user intervention. This design enhances ease of use and safety, while also extending component life, as the automatic stop mechanism reduces the risk of overload. Furthermore, this structure reduces power consumption, as the system automatically stops upon completion of the bottle opening operation, saving energy.

[0028] For example, in one scenario, when the electric bottle opener 100 is used, the drive device 20 drives the auger 30 to rotate forward, causing the auger 30 to spiral into the bottle cork. As the auger 30 rotates, the bottle cork gradually separates from the bottle and enters the cartridge 80 of the electric bottle opener 100. Under the clamping action of the cartridge 80, the bottle cork moves toward the power-off member 40 as the auger 30 rotates forward. When the bottle cork pushes the power-off member 40 to separate the conductive contact 51 and the conductive member 62, the drive device 20 stops driving the auger 30. In addition, when the drive device 20 drives the auger 30 to rotate in the reverse direction, the auger 30 can push the bottle cork out of the cartridge 80.

[0029] In some embodiments, the conductive contacts 51 may be copper terminals or other structures.

[0030] In some embodiments, the electric bottle opener 100 further includes an elastic member 70, one end of the elastic member 70 abuts against the drive device 20, and the other end abuts against the power-off member 40, and the elastic member 70 is suitable for providing an elastic force to the power-off member 40 in a direction away from the conductive contact 51 or the conductive member 62. Such a design helps to avoid the situation where the conductive contact 51 and the conductive member 62 are in continuous conduction when not in operation. The presence of the elastic member 70 helps the electric bottle opener 100 maintain the distance between the power-off member 40 and the contacts when not in operation, thereby helping to reduce unnecessary power consumption because the circuit will not remain in a conductive state when there is no actual operation requirement. In addition, such a design also helps to improve the safety of the device because the circuit is naturally disconnected when not in use, reducing the risk of accidental startup.

[0031] Furthermore, the sustained force provided by the elastic member 70 helps ensure that the disconnect member 40 remains in a preset position, improving the accuracy and responsiveness of circuit control. When the user presses the panel 61, the disconnect member 40 responds quickly under the elastic force, enhancing the smooth operation of the device and the user experience. Furthermore, this design reduces the number of manual adjustments required by the user during operation, improving the smoothness of device use and the user experience.

[0032] In some embodiments, the power-off member 40 includes a collar 41 and a power-off push rod 42. The collar 41 is sleeved on the auger 30 and movably connected to the drive device 20. One end of the power-off push rod 42 is connected to the outer periphery of the collar 41, and the other end extends toward the conductive contact 51 or the conductive member 62. The mutual cooperation between the collar 41 and the power-off push rod 42 helps to achieve more precise mechanical linkage. The collar 41 is sleeved on the auger 30 and forms a movably connection with the drive device 20, which means that it can move with the movement of the auger 30. One end of the power-off push rod 42 is connected to the outer periphery of the collar 41, and the other end extends toward the conductive contact 51 or the conductive member 62. Such a structure helps to ensure that the power-off push rod 42 can accurately respond to the movement of the auger 30, thereby accurately controlling the on and off of the circuit.

[0033] When the cork is against the ring sleeve 41 under the rotation of the auger 30, the ring sleeve 41 moves under the push of the cork, driving the power-off push rod 42 to move toward the conductive contact 51 or the conductive member 62, thereby disconnecting the circuit. This design helps to improve the synchronization of mechanical actions, because the ring sleeve 41 and the power-off push rod 42 are integrated, which helps to reduce the possibility of action delay or misalignment. In addition, such a structure also helps to simplify the internal mechanical structure, making the overall design of the equipment more compact and helping to improve space utilization. The precise movement of the power-off push rod 42 also helps to improve the reliability of the equipment, ensuring that the power-off mechanism can be effectively triggered for each operation, thereby helping to improve the user's operating experience.

[0034] See Figures 2 to 4In some embodiments, the drive device 20 includes a fixed bracket 21 and a drive motor 22. The fixed bracket 21 is assembled within the housing 10, and the drive motor 22 is assembled to the fixed bracket 21. The fixed bracket 21 has a first guide portion 211, and the collar 41 has a second guide portion 411. The second guide portion 411 slidably engages with the first guide portion 211 along the axial direction Y of the auger 30. One of the first guide portion 211 and the second guide portion 411 is a guide groove, and the other is a guide rod. This facilitates smooth and reliable linear movement of the collar 41 relative to the fixed bracket 21. This guiding mechanism helps ensure that the collar 41 accurately moves along the predetermined path during rotation of the auger 30, helping to reduce operational errors caused by deviation or shaking. The combination of the guide groove and guide rod also helps improve the stability and durability of the mechanical structure by effectively dissipating stress during movement and reducing wear. Furthermore, this design helps simplify the assembly process, as the combination of the guide groove and guide rod provides intuitive installation guidance, helping to improve production efficiency.

[0035] In some embodiments, the fixed bracket 21 is provided with a guide through-hole 212, which is closer to the conductive contact 51 or the conductive member 62 relative to the ring sleeve 41, and the power-off push rod 42 is slidably inserted into the guide through-hole 212. This helps to improve the accuracy and smoothness of the movement of the power-off push rod 42, because the guide through-hole 212 provides a limited path for the power-off push rod 42, which helps to reduce its offset or swing during movement. In addition, the design of the guide through-hole 212 helps to enhance the guidance of the power-off push rod 42, so that it can more stably approach and separate the conductive contact 51 and the conductive member 62 when performing the power-off function, thereby helping to improve the accuracy of circuit control. Since the movement path of the power-off push rod 42 is well defined, it also helps to reduce the risk of functional failure caused by mechanical interference.

[0036] In some embodiments, the pressing panel 61 is hinged to the housing 10, the conductive member 62 is provided on the side of the pressing panel 61 facing the circuit board 50, and the conductive contact 51 is opposite to the conductive member 62. This helps to simplify the user operation process, because the hinged structure of the pressing panel 61 allows the user to trigger the switch function with a simple pressing action. The relative position design of the conductive member 62 and the conductive contact 51 helps to ensure that when the pressing panel 61 is operated, the conductive member 62 can accurately electrically contact the conductive contact 51, thereby helping to improve the reliability and response speed of the circuit control. The hinged structure also helps to reduce the space required for the pressing panel 61 during operation, because the hinge allows the panel to move within a certain angle range, which not only helps to save external space of the device, but also helps to improve the overall compactness and aesthetics of the device.

[0037] In addition, this layout also helps to simplify the assembly process inside the device, because the positional relationship between the conductive member 62 and the contact is relatively clear, which helps to reduce assembly errors and further helps to improve production efficiency.

[0038] In some embodiments, the disconnecting member 40 is located on a side of the conductive contact 51 away from a hinge between the pressing panel 61 and the housing 10 .

[0039] This helps to improve the accuracy of circuit control, because the position arrangement of the disconnecting member 40 helps to ensure that it intervenes in the circuit at the correct time point, thereby helping to achieve timely circuit disconnection and avoid excessive operation.

[0040] In some embodiments, the conductive member 62 includes a conductive arm 621 and a first conductive portion 622, wherein one end of the conductive arm 621 is fixed to the circuit board 50 and the other end extends in the direction of the conductive contact 51, and the first conductive portion 622 is connected to the other end of the conductive arm 621 and bends from the conductive arm 621 toward the circuit board 50.

[0041] This helps achieve a more stable circuit connection, as the combination of the conductive arm 621 and the first conductive portion 622 ensures that the conductive member 62 can reliably electrically contact the conductive contact 51 when the panel 61 is pressed. The curved design of the first conductive portion 622 helps improve the mechanical strength and elasticity of the conductive member 62, as this shape provides better restoring force when the panel 61 is pressed to reset, helping to reduce fatigue damage caused by repeated use.

[0042] In some embodiments, the conductive member 62 further includes a second conductive portion 623 connected to the end of the first conductive portion 622 facing away from the conductive arm 621. The second conductive portion 623 bends away from the first conductive portion 622, away from the circuit board 50. This helps the disconnect member 40 more easily separate the conductive contact 51 and the conductive member 62, allowing it to be smoothly inserted between the conductive contact 51 and the conductive member 62 during movement, thereby achieving more reliable circuit disconnection. This structure also helps reduce interference between the disconnect member 40 and other components during movement, ensuring a smooth power-off operation.

[0043] Furthermore, the curved design of the second conductive portion 623 helps optimize the spatial layout of the conductive member 62, allowing it to better adapt to the path of action of the disconnect member 40 within a limited space, thereby improving the compactness and rationality of the device's internal structure. This design also simplifies the positioning of the disconnect member 40, ensuring that it can accurately perform its task when the circuit needs to be disconnected, thereby improving device reliability and user experience.

[0044] In some embodiments, the conductive member 62 is an elastic conductive sheet. This helps to improve the reliability of the circuit connection because the elastic conductive sheet can deform when subjected to force and return to its original shape when not subjected to force, ensuring that when the panel 61 is pressed to perform an action, the elastic conductive sheet can stably electrically contact the conductive contact 51 to achieve circuit conduction, and when the power-off member 40 is actuated, the elastic conductive sheet can be squeezed by the power-off member 40 and separated from the conductive contact 51. The design of the elastic conductive sheet also helps to reduce the problem of poor electrical contact caused by long-term use because it can provide continuous electrical contact pressure, which helps to maintain a good electrical connection. In addition, the use of elastic materials helps to absorb vibrations and shocks during operation, thereby helping to extend the service life of the conductive member 62 and its related components. The use of elastic conductive sheets also helps to simplify the internal structure of the device because its design is generally simpler, which helps to reduce complex mechanical connections, thereby helping to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.
