Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of containers and relates to a beverage container. Background Art

[0002] Beverage barrels are used to package beverage liquids and provide them with a good storage environment to achieve long-term stable storage conditions and ensure the flavor of the beverage.

[0003] The applicant previously developed a wine storage barrel with authorization announcement number CN220578921U, which includes a barrel body, a wine outlet valve and a connecting pipe. The wine outlet valve is installed on the barrel body and has a wine outlet channel. A wrench is hinged on the wine outlet valve. A valve core for controlling the opening and closing of the wine outlet channel is slidably connected to the wine outlet valve. One end of the connecting pipe extends into the wine outlet channel and abuts against the valve core. The wrench can squeeze the valve core through the connecting pipe to open the wine outlet channel. The barrel body has a gas cylinder connected to the bottom of the wine outlet valve.

[0004] The above-mentioned product can drive the joint pipe downward to trigger the wine dispensing valve by operating the wrench from the outside. It is labor-saving to use and hygienic to take out wine. However, there are still some shortcomings: the gas cylinder will continuously release gas into the cavity of the barrel, which may easily cause the air pressure in the barrel to always be in a high state. When the beverage is discharged, it may overflow due to rapid spraying. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and provides a beverage container. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the liquid discharge pressure of the prior beverage container is high.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A beverage container comprises a barrel body, a joint pipe and a wine spear installed at the barrel mouth of the barrel body, the wine spear including a liquid outlet valve core, one end of the joint pipe is inserted downward into the wine spear and abuts against the liquid outlet valve core, a gas cylinder is fixedly arranged in the barrel body, and the gas cylinder includes an exhaust valve, characterized in that the outer periphery of the joint pipe has a downwardly arranged protrusion, the gas cylinder is connected to the exhaust valve for controlling the opening and closing of the gas cylinder, and the downward movement of the protrusion can trigger the opening of the exhaust valve.

[0008] The barrel body is used to hold beverage solutions. The wine spear blocks the barrel hole of the barrel body to provide a sealed storage environment. The liquid outlet valve core is used to control the connection and disconnection between the inner cavity of the barrel body and the outside world. The bottom of the liquid outlet valve core is often connected to the liquid outlet pipe. The gas cylinder set in the barrel body is an existing component. The internal air pressure of the barrel body can be made greater than the external air pressure by exhausting. There is a channel inside the joint pipe, one end of which is inserted into the wine spear. The user can apply force from the outside to control the joint pipe to move downward to squeeze against the liquid outlet valve core to open it, and then the internal air pressure drops, and the beverage passes through the liquid outlet pipe and out of the liquid outlet valve Core discharge; by additionally arranging a downward convex column on the joint pipe and arranging an exhaust valve on the gas cylinder, the convex column can open the exhaust valve by moving downward. In this way, by adding the convex column structure on the basis of the original joint pipe structure, the convex column can be pressed down at a local position when the joint pipe moves downward, so as to directly or indirectly squeeze the exhaust valve on the gas cylinder in the barrel body below. In this way, the liquid outlet valve core and the exhaust valve are synchronously controlled through the joint pipe, so that the gas cylinder is deflated only when discharging wine, to ensure that the pressure in the barrel is not too high.

[0009] In the aforementioned beverage container, the liquid outlet valve core is located at the radial center of the spear. A control hole is located eccentrically on the spear, directly opposite the boss above it. The exhaust valve is opposite the control hole above. This position of the liquid outlet valve core remains similar to the original design, saving mold costs. The control hole also provides vertical clearance for the boss to move or for the transmission components between the boss and the exhaust valve, ensuring that the downward force of the boss is more directly transmitted to the exhaust valve, ensuring stable opening.

[0010] In the beverage container described above, a vertically arranged pressure rod is positioned between the lower end of the boss and the exhaust valve. The pressure rod extends through the control hole, and its outer periphery seals against the inner wall of the control hole. As the connecting tube moves downward, the boss pushes the pressure rod downward to control the exhaust valve within the barrel. The provision of the pressure rod avoids excessively long boss designs, while the outer periphery of the pressure rod and the spear provide independent sealing, reducing the manufacturing cost of the connecting tube while ensuring a sufficient seal.

[0011] In the aforementioned beverage container, the bottom of the spear is fixedly connected to a downwardly disposed bottle holder, the lower end of which is tilted toward the control hole. The gas cylinder is fixedly connected to the lower end of the bottle holder. This maintains the gas cylinder connected to the spear, ensuring a compact structure. The tilted bottle holder also facilitates vertical alignment of the exhaust valve and the connecting pipe, shortening their distance. This reduces transmission losses from the boss to the exhaust valve and ensures stable opening of the exhaust valve.

[0012] In the aforementioned beverage container, the bottle holder has a vertically extending guide hole, into which the boss is inserted and can slide up and down relative to the bottle holder. The bottle holder thus provides both a limit and a guide for the boss's upward and downward movement, ensuring that the boss's movement direction remains precise and that the exhaust valve is stably activated.

[0013] As another solution, the bottle holder has a guide hole extending vertically therethrough, with the upper end of the pressure rod inserted into the control hole, and the lower end of the pressure rod inserted into the guide hole. This provides radial restraint at both ends of the pressure rod, facilitating stable relative positions of the pressure rod with respect to the boss and the exhaust valve during movement, thereby improving triggering stability.

[0014] In the beverage container described above, the upper end of the pressure rod has a downwardly facing limiting step surface, which faces downwardly and is opposite to the upper end of the bottle holder. This facilitates providing a rigid limit to the downward travel of the pressure rod via the upper end of the bottle holder, preventing the pressure rod from being over-pressed, which could lead to upper end seal failure or damage to the exhaust valve, thereby ensuring operational stability.

[0015] As another solution, the exhaust valve is located directly below the center of the lance. A vertical control hole is formed at an eccentric position on the lance. The liquid outlet valve core is positioned within the control hole. The end of the connector pipe that abuts the liquid outlet valve core is inserted into the control hole, with the outer periphery of the connector pipe and the inner edge of the control hole sealingly engaged circumferentially. This facilitates positioning the gas cylinder at the radial center of the barrel, maintaining the overall center of gravity of the container at its geometric center. Furthermore, the control hole ensures that the connector pipe, when moved downward, can stably trigger the liquid outlet valve core to open.

[0016] In the beverage container described above, a vertically arranged pressure rod is positioned between the lower end of the boss and the exhaust valve. The pressure rod extends through the wine spear and seals the lance along its circumference. This control of the exhaust valve within the barrel is achieved through the pressure rod, which helps avoid excessively long boss designs for deep-lying gas cylinders and reduces the manufacturing costs of the connector pipe.

[0017] In the aforementioned beverage container, the outer periphery of the end of the joint tube that is inserted into the control hole also has a plurality of circumferentially spaced guide vertical ridges. This helps reduce the contact area between the outer periphery of the joint tube and the inner wall of the control hole, thereby reducing resistance during the upward and downward movement of the joint tube and making the movement smoother and more stable.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] This beverage container is a low-cost modification of the original product design, which can achieve synchronous control of the liquid outlet valve core and the exhaust valve, so that the gas cylinder is deflated only when discharging wine, ensuring that the pressure in the barrel is not too high.
