Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wine drinking equipment and relates to an automatic wine dispenser. Background Art

[0002] Beer is a common beverage, and unlike canned beer, keg beer is more popular with consumers due to its taste. As the name implies, keg beer is beer that has been sealed in a barrel and then, to ensure easy access, a tap is installed on the barrel.

[0003] For example, a wine pipe opening and closing mechanism disclosed in a Chinese patent (application publication number: CN111959939A) specifically includes a shell with an inlet and an outlet, an opening and closing member, and a valve member 1 and a valve member 2, both of which are cylindrical. The valve member set is arranged on the outside of the valve member 2 and can block the inner hole of the valve member 2 when the two move relative to each other. The valve member 1 is axially fixed in the shell and the outer end of the valve member 1 extends out of the outlet. The outer end of the opening and closing member extends out of the shell, and its inner end has a limiting portion axially fixed to the valve member 2. The opening and closing member can drive the valve member 2 to move axially along the valve member 2. The shell also has a guide structure that can provide guidance for the axial movement of the opening and closing member.

[0004] Combined with paragraph 0036 of the specification of the reference document and the attached Figure 1 As shown, to draw wine, the user actuates the operating handle 5, causing the opening surface on the operating handle 5 to abut and locate against the outer surface of the top of the housing 1. During this actuation, the opening and closing member 2 drives the valve member 2 4 to move axially upward. Because the valve member 1 3 is axially fixed within the housing 1, the valve member 1 3 does not move axially. During this upward axial movement, the valve member 2 4 moves away from the valve member 1 3, and the plug 33 withdraws from the lower end of the valve member 2 4, leaving the inner hole of the valve member 2 4 open. Wine flows from the wine tube 6 through the inner hole of the valve member 2 4 and the gap between the connecting ribs within the valve member 2 4 to the valve member 1 3, and then flows out of the lower end of the valve member 1 3 for the user to drink. However, the above-described structure still requires manual operation to achieve the purpose of drawing wine, which is relatively inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and to provide an automatic wine dispenser. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to ensure the convenience of drawing wine while improving the convenience of replacing parts.

[0006] The objectives of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an automatic wine dispenser, comprising a shell, a valve body and a valve core in the shape of an elongated strip and movably connected vertically, characterized in that one side of the shell has an opening, and a side cover for sealing the opening is detachably connected to the shell, a mounting bracket is fixedly provided in the shell, the valve body is detachably connected to one side of the mounting bracket, a steering gear with a drive shaft facing perpendicular to the direction of the valve body is provided on the other side of the mounting bracket, and an eccentric wheel is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the steering gear, a connecting bracket movably connected to the shell and abutting against the outer wall of the eccentric wheel is also movably connected, and the valve core is detachably connected to the connecting bracket.

[0007] This application uses the mounting bracket as the main mounting carrier, and adopts a shell to protect the mounting bracket, and movably connects the connecting bracket in the shell, fixes the valve body constituting the wine outlet valve on the mounting bracket, and installs the valve core of the wine outlet valve on the connecting bracket. During operation, if the movable bracket moves downward relative to the mounting bracket, the valve core can be continuously moved toward the valve body, so that the two cooperate to open the wine path. On this basis, this application installs a servo in the shell and on the mounting bracket. It is worth mentioning that the servo and the valve body are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting bracket to avoid interference between the two, and the driving shaft direction of the servo is perpendicular to the direction of the valve body. An eccentric wheel is fixedly installed on the driving shaft of the machine, and the eccentric wheel and the connecting bracket are always in contact with each other. When operating to take wine, the user drives the eccentric wheel to rotate through the driving shaft of the servo, and the eccentric wheel squeezes and pushes the connecting bracket, so that the connecting bracket drives the valve core to move downward relative to the valve body, thereby achieving the purpose of opening the wine path. At this time, the wine in the wine barrel can pass through the wine pipe, the valve core and finally out of the valve body. Compared with the existing technology, there is no need to control the wine path by manually pressing the handle, which ensures that drawing wine is more convenient. Secondly, the present application specifically realizes the installation and disassembly of parts through the opening opened on the shell. During subsequent inspection and maintenance, it is only necessary to disassemble and assemble the side cover to seal the opening or keep it open.

[0008] In the aforementioned automatic wine dispenser, the connecting bracket includes a mounting portion having a third engaging groove. The mounting portion is located on the side of the mounting bracket facing the opening, and the valve core is embedded in and restrained within the third engaging groove. The third engaging groove on the mounting portion ensures stable installation of the valve core and enables a user to remove the valve core from the third engaging groove through the opening of the housing.

[0009] In the automatic wine dispenser, the mounting bracket has a second vertically disposed snap-in groove on the side facing the opening, and the valve body is embedded and restrained in the second snap-in groove. The snap-in engagement between the valve body and the second snap-in groove ensures that the valve body is stably mounted while being detachable.

[0010] In the aforementioned automatic wine dispenser, the connecting bracket further includes a laterally disposed abutment portion. An adjustment hole is vertically defined on the mounting bracket, located directly above the second engaging groove. The abutment portion passes through the adjustment hole and abuts against the outer wall of the eccentric wheel. This allows the connecting bracket to slide relative to the mounting bracket, guided by the abutment portion provided by the adjustment hole wall. The eccentric wheel is driven to rotate by the driving shaft of the steering gear, causing the eccentric wheel to push against the abutment portion, thereby controlling the opening of the wine path.

[0011] In the above-mentioned automatic wine dispenser, a clearance hole is provided at the top of the mounting bracket, and a guide column is provided at the top of the mounting portion, which is passed through the clearance hole. The upper end of the guide column is detachably connected to a gasket 1 by a screw, and a spring is provided on the outer sleeve of the guide column. The lower end of the spring is tightly pressed against the outer wall of the top of the mounting bracket, and the upper end is tightly pressed against the gasket 1. It should be noted that the valve body and valve core used in this case are existing technologies. In the existing technologies, a reset spring is provided between the valve body and the valve core. After the mounting bracket moves upward and resets, the reset spring between the valve body and the valve core can push the valve core to move upward and reset. In this process, the connecting bracket is pushed upward by the elastic force, and the moving direction of the connecting bracket is guided by the cooperation of the guide column and the clearance hole. The elastic force of the spring can unload the impact force generated by the deformation of the reset spring, thereby preventing the connecting bracket from hitting the mounting bracket.

[0012] In the aforementioned automatic wine dispenser, the housing and the side cover are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection. A magnet is provided on the side of the mounting bracket facing the opening, and a magnetic fixing plate is provided on the inner wall of the side cover. When the side cover closes the opening, the magnet and the magnetic fixing plate are magnetically connected. The snap-fit ​​connection ensures the stability of the connection between the side cover and the housing, and the magnetic interaction between the magnet and the magnetic fixing plate ensures the installation stability of the side cover.

[0013] In the aforementioned automatic wine dispenser, the mounting bracket has a mounting slot on the side facing the opening, into which the magnet is inserted. The mounting bracket also has a U-shaped block on the side facing the opening, along the edge of the mounting slot, with the outer wall of the magnet abutting against the U-shaped block. The magnet is assembled into the mounting slot by plugging, with the side walls of the magnet abutting against the U-shaped block, ensuring convenient installation and stable pre-positioning of the magnet.

[0014] In the automatic wine dispenser, a positioning post is provided on the side of the mounting bracket facing the opening and above the U-shaped block, and a second gasket is detachably connected to the positioning post by a screw to press the outer end of the magnet, thereby ensuring that the magnet can be firmly positioned in the mounting slot.

[0015] In the aforementioned automatic wine dispenser, the magnetic fixing plate is L-shaped. The inner wall of the side cover is provided with a mounting post and an annular rim located above the mounting post. One end of the magnetic fixing plate is screwed to the mounting post, while the other end is inserted into and captured within the annular rim. This ensures the stability of the magnetic fixing plate on the side cover and prevents the magnetic fixing plate from shaking or falling off during magnetic connection with the magnet.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, this automatic wine dispenser has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. The connecting bracket is pushed by the rotation of the eccentric wheel on the servo drive shaft, and the connecting bracket drives the valve core to move toward the valve body, so as to automatically open the wine path without manual operation, which is more convenient to use.

[0018] 2. After removing the side cover, the user can remove the valve body from the mounting bracket and the valve core from the connecting bracket through the opening of the shell, ensuring that the replacement of parts is more convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A mounting bracket 5 is screwed and locked in the shell 1 by screws, and the valve body 2 is snapped and confined in the snap-fit ​​groove 53. It is worth mentioning that two arc grooves are provided on the shell 1 and the side cover 12. When the shell 1 and the side cover 12 are assembled together, the four arc grooves correspond to each other in pairs to form two through-holes, one of which is for the wine tube 4 to extend out, and the other is for the valve body 2 to extend out.

[0033] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 11 The automatic wine dispenser also includes a connecting bracket 6. In the shell 1, a servo 51 is connected to the side of the mounting bracket 5 facing away from the opening 11 by screws. The driving shaft of the servo 51 is perpendicular to the direction of the valve body 2. An eccentric wheel 511 is fixed on the driving shaft of the servo 51. The connecting bracket 6 includes a mounting portion 61 and a supporting portion 62. The mounting portion 61 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 5 facing the opening 11 and a third clamping groove 611 is opened on the outer wall. The third clamping groove 611 is located directly above the second clamping groove 53. The valve core 3 is clamped and limited in the third clamping groove 611. The supporting portion 62 is in the shape of a long strip and is arranged horizontally. A long strip-shaped adjustment hole 54 is opened vertically on the mounting bracket 5. The supporting portion 62 is penetrated into the adjustment hole 54 and abuts against the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 511.

[0034] A vertically arranged guide column 63 is provided at the top of the mounting portion 61, and a clearance hole 55 is provided at the top of the mounting bracket 5 for the guide column 63 to extend out. A spring 631 is provided on the outer sleeve of the guide column 63, the lower end of which is tightly pressed against the outer wall of the top of the mounting bracket 5, and the upper end of the guide column 63 is screwed and locked by a bolt and pressed against a gasket 632 at the upper end of the spring 631.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, a mounting groove 57 is provided on the side wall of the mounting bracket 5 facing the opening 11, and a U-shaped block 58 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the mounting bracket 5 along the edge of the mounting groove 57. A magnet 56 is installed in the mounting groove 57 by plugging. The U-shaped block 58 is specifically located above the mounting groove 57, and a positioning column 59 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the mounting bracket 5 above the U-shaped block 58. A second gasket 591 is locked on the positioning column 59 by a screw, and the second gasket 591 presses the outer end of the magnet 56 tightly, and the magnet 56 is combined with the U-shaped block 58. Figure 9 and Figure 10 A mounting post 122 and an annular edge 123 located above the mounting post 122 are integrally formed on the inner wall of the side cover 12. A magnetic fixing plate 121 made of stainless steel or iron-nickel alloy is installed on the inner wall of the side cover 12. The magnetic fixing plate 121 is bent into an L shape, one end of which is screwed and locked on the mounting post 122 by a screw, and the other end is inserted into and confined in the annular edge 123. When the side cover 12 is snap-connected to the housing 1, the magnet 56 can be magnetically connected to the magnetic fixing plate 121 to achieve the purpose of improving the installation stability of the side cover 12.

[0036] Working principle: When it is necessary to draw wine, the user only needs to control the servo 51 to start, so that the eccentric wheel 511 rotates a certain amplitude. During this process, the eccentric wheel 511 can push the abutment part 62 of the connecting bracket 6 to move downward in the adjustment hole 54, so that the mounting part 61 of the connecting bracket 6 drives the valve core 3 to move toward the valve body 2, so that the valve core 3 and the valve body 2 cooperate to open the wine path, ensuring that the wine can be discharged out through the wine pipe 4, the valve core 3 and the valve body 2 in turn.

[0037] Principle of disassembly and assembly: The valve body 2, valve core 3 and wine tube 4 are consumables. In order to avoid bacterial growth and endangering the health of the user, they need to be replaced regularly. When performing this work on the automatic wine dispenser, you only need to remove the side cover 12 from the shell 1 to expose the valve body 2 and wine tube 4 installed on the mounting bracket 5 and the valve core 3 installed on the connecting bracket 6. All three are assembled in a snap-on manner. The user only needs to remove the valve body 2, valve core 3 and wine tube 4 from the shell 1 and replace them with new valve body 2, valve core 3 and wine tube 4.
