Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage containers and relates to a storage structure for a wine barrel. Background Art

[0002] Wine barrels are very common wine storage containers in the prior art. They are popular among consumers because of their large storage space and the ability to maintain a good taste of the wine stored in them.

[0003] As we all know, wine barrels themselves do not have the function of drawing wine, so when they are sold, they are generally equipped with corresponding accessories such as wine spears, faucets, and brackets. In the process of long-distance transportation of large quantities of wine barrels, in order to maximize the number of wine barrels that can be loaded, the faucets and brackets are generally removed and stored separately, and several wine barrels are stacked in order in the cargo compartment to achieve the purpose of controlling transportation costs.

[0004] However, there are still certain disadvantages in reality. Specifically, as a supporting structure, the wine barrel still needs to be sold together with the faucet and the bracket when it is sold later. Although removing the faucet and the bracket can make the structure of the wine barrel more regular, it does not mean that these two accessories disappear. As a supporting structure, the two are generally transported together with the wine barrel. In other words, stacking the removed faucets and brackets in the cargo compartment will still cause the space in the cargo compartment to be occupied, and more or less bumps may cause some faucets or brackets to be damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and propose a storage structure for wine barrels. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to reduce transportation costs while avoiding damage to the faucet and the bracket.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a storage structure for a wine barrel, the wine barrel includes a faucet, a wine spear and a cylindrical handle arranged around the wine spear, characterized in that the storage structure includes a cover connected to the top of the wine spear, the outer wall of the cover has a clamping claw formed by continuous bending, and the faucet is clamped in the clamping claw.

[0007] The storage structure of this wine barrel can directly assemble the faucet as an accessory inside the handle of the wine barrel through the storage structure, so that the accessories and the main body of the wine barrel can be combined into one during transportation without affecting the storage space of the wine barrel, thereby avoiding damage to the accessories during transportation, and further saving space to ensure lower transportation costs. As a specific solution, in this application, the storage structure includes a cover body, which is connected to the top of the wine spear in a snap-fit ​​manner to ensure protection of the wine spear for assembling the faucet and avoid foreign objects from entering due to long-term storage of the wine barrel. Under this premise, a clamping claw 1 is formed on the side wall of the cover body, so that before assembling the storage structure and the barrel body, the worker can first assemble the faucet in the clamping claw 1 in a snap-fit ​​manner, and the clamping claw 1 limits the faucet to ensure the installation stability of the faucet. Then the cover body is detachably connected to the top of the wine spear by snapping, so that the cover body with the clamping claw 1 and the faucet are embedded in the handle of the wine barrel together, and the faucet is stored using the sufficient space in the handle, thereby reducing transportation costs while avoiding damage to the faucet.

[0008] In the aforementioned wine barrel storage structure, a planar abutment portion is provided at the top of the wine spear and below the lid along its circumference. The jaw opening of the first clamp is positioned toward the abutment portion, and the outer sidewall of the faucet engaged in the first clamp abuts against the abutment portion. As a further solution, during the aforementioned installation of the lid, after the faucet, which is restrained by the first clamp and inserted into the handle, is inserted into the handle, the outer sidewall of the faucet abuts against the surface of the abutment portion because the jaw opening of the first clamp is positioned toward the abutment portion at the top of the wine spear. This allows the abutment portion to support the lower outer sidewall of the faucet, thereby further ensuring the stability of the faucet's installation.

[0009] In the above-mentioned wine barrel storage structure, the clamp is separated along the width direction to form a fitting part and a deformation part, and the fitting part and the deformation part have different curvatures. The inner wall of the fitting part fits with the outer wall of the faucet, and there is a gap between the deformation part and the outer wall of the faucet. The clamping jaw 1 specifically includes two parts, a deformation part and a fitting part. When the faucet is assembled with the clamping jaw 1 on the cover body, the faucet is embedded in the claw mouth of the clamping jaw 1, and its outer wall is fitted with the inner wall of the fitting part to ensure the contact area between the two. At the same time, the deformation part uses the existence of the gap to reduce the amount of contact with the faucet, thereby ensuring a higher elastic force, and then ensuring that the faucet can be more fully clamped after passing the claw mouth of the clamping jaw 1. In addition, the clamping jaw 1 of this structure can be used for faucets of two different specifications. Specifically, when one of the faucets is installed, its outer wall is fitted with the inner wall of the fitting part and a gap is formed between it and the deformation part, while when the other faucet is installed, the outer wall of the faucet is fitted with the deformation part and a gap is formed between it and the fitting part, thereby ensuring that the clamping jaw 1 is more adaptable to different faucets.

[0010] In the aforementioned wine barrel storage structure, the edge of the deformable portion has a plurality of claw plates spaced apart along its length, and each claw plate has a long, strip-shaped resistance rib along the width of the first clamp. By utilizing multiple claw plates, while ensuring a high degree of elasticity, the claw plates press against the inner wall of the faucet facing the jaw opening of the first clamp, thereby preventing the faucet from slipping out of the first clamp. Simultaneously, the provision of the resistance ribs further enhances the structural robustness of each claw plate while reducing the contact area between each claw plate and the outer wall of the faucet, ensuring greater pressure on the limited contact surface and thereby enhancing the deformability of the claw plates.

[0011] In the aforementioned wine barrel faucet and bracket storage structure, the first clamping jaw is provided with a plurality of weakened holes (1) between the contact portion and the deformable portion. The weakened holes (1) are spaced apart along the length of the first clamping jaw. The weakened holes (1) are utilized to reduce the structural strength between the contact portion and the deformable portion, thereby lowering the overall structural rigidity of the first clamping jaw, thereby improving the overall deformability of the first clamping jaw.

[0012] In the faucet and bracket storage structure of the above-mentioned wine barrel, the wine barrel also includes a bracket, and the outer wall of the cover body is provided with a continuously bent clamping claw 2, and the clamping claw 1 and the clamping claw 2 are respectively located on both sides of the cover body, and the bracket is clamped in the clamping claw 2. By forming the clamping claw 2 on the side wall of the cover body, the worker can assemble the faucet in the clamping claw 1 and the bracket in the clamping claw 2 before assembling the cover body and the barrel body, and the clamping claw 2 limits the position of the bracket. It is worth mentioning that the clamping claw 1 and the clamping claw 2 are specifically located on both sides of the cover body, that is, the positions are relatively symmetrical, which can avoid interference between the faucet and the bracket to be installed, and ensure the installation stability of the two.

[0013] In the faucet and bracket storage structure of the above-mentioned wine barrel, the cross-section of the second clamp along the radial direction of the cover body is U-shaped, and the jaw opening is arranged toward the abutting portion. The inner wall of the second clamp away from the first clamp has a plurality of spaced-apart limit blocks along the length direction, and a plurality of the limit blocks are arranged close to the jaw opening of the second clamp. The bracket has a plurality of overlapping arrangements, and the outer side walls of the bracket that are clamped in the second clamp and located at the bottom respectively abut against the abutting portion and the limit blocks. As a further solution, after the bracket limited by the second clamp is embedded in the handle, one side of the bottom of the bracket located at the bottom can abut against the abutting portion, while the other side is limited by the limit block, so that the lower outer wall of the faucet and the bracket is lifted and supported by the abutting portion, thereby preventing each bracket from falling out of the jaw opening of the second clamp, thereby further ensuring the stable installation of the bracket.

[0014] In the aforementioned wine barrel storage structure, a plurality of weakened holes are provided at each bend intersection of the second clamping jaw, and the weakened holes are spaced apart along the length of the second clamping jaw. Similarly, the provision of the weakened holes reduces the structural strength of each bend on the second clamping jaw, thereby improving the overall deformability of the second clamping jaw.

[0015] In the above-mentioned storage structure of the wine barrel, the cross-section of the second clamp along the radial direction of the cover body is U-shaped and the jaw opening is arranged toward the abutting portion. The inner walls on both sides of the second clamp are provided with a number of spaced limit blocks along the length direction, and a number of the limit blocks are arranged close to the jaw opening of the second clamp. The inner bottom wall of the second clamp is provided with a limit plate protruding toward the jaw opening of the second clamp. The bracket has a number of overlapping arrangements, and a slot for engaging with the limit plate is provided on the bracket. The two sides of the bracket that is engaged in the second clamp and located at the bottom abut against the limit blocks, and the bracket that is engaged in the second clamp and located at the top is engaged with the limit plate through the slot.

[0016] In the aforementioned storage structure for a wine barrel, the inner circumferential wall of the handle is provided with a first limiting groove, a second limiting groove, a third limiting groove, and a fourth limiting groove along the circumferential direction. One end of the faucet is embedded in and limited by the first limiting groove, and the other end is embedded in and limited by the second limiting groove. One end of a plurality of brackets is embedded in and limited by the third limiting groove, and the other end is embedded in and limited by the fourth limiting groove. This arrangement ensures that during installation, the two ends of the faucet can be respectively embedded in the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, while the two ends of the bracket can be respectively embedded in the third limiting groove and the fourth limiting groove, thereby ensuring that there is sufficient space in the handle to accommodate the faucet and the bracket. At the same time, the two ends of the faucet can also be limited in the circumferential direction by the inner walls of the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, and the two ends of the bracket can be limited in the circumferential direction by the third limiting groove and the fourth limiting groove, thereby further ensuring the stable installation of the faucet and the bracket.

[0017] Compared with the existing technology, the storage structure of the wine barrel has the following advantages:

[0018] By forming jaws 1 and 2 on the cover, the faucet 1 is snapped into the claw of jaw 1, the bracket is snapped into the claw of jaw 2, and the cover is detachably connected to the top of the dispenser on the barrel body, so that the faucet and the bracket are stored together in the handle of the barrel body, which can ensure that they are combined with the barrel body to ensure transportation convenience and space occupancy, and can also prevent the faucet and the bracket from being damaged by collision.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5The top of the wine barrel is provided with a wine spear 1 and a cylindrical handle 2 arranged around the wine spear 1. The storage structure includes a cover 3. Specifically, the cover 3 includes a ring-shaped circumferential portion and a circular sheet-shaped sealing portion at its upper end. The sealing portion and the circumferential portion are integrally formed, and a plurality of tearing grooves are provided along the circumference of the edge of the sealing portion and between the circumferential portion. The storage structure is positioned by the circumferential portion and the top of the wine spear 1, and the top of the wine spear 1 is sealed by the sealing portion, thereby ensuring that after the wine barrel leaves the factory, the storage structure can effectively protect the part of the top of the wine spear 1 for connecting to the faucet 4 to prevent foreign matter from entering. During installation, it is only necessary to tear the sealing portion along the tearing groove to weaken the holding capacity of the circumferential portion, and then pinch the deformable circumferential portion with bare hands to remove it from the wine spear 1.

[0032] Combine Figure 3 On the outer wall of the cover body 3, a clamping claw 31 and a clamping claw 32 are integrally formed, which are continuously bent toward the wine spear 1. The clamping claw 31 and the clamping claw 32 are specifically located on both sides of the cover body 3 and are symmetrically arranged along the radial direction of the cover body 3. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the clamping jaw 31 includes a bent fitting portion 311 and an outwardly folded deformation portion 312 along the width direction. The width of the jaw opening of the clamping jaw 31 is smaller than the width of the faucet 4. As for the faucet 4, its specific structure can be roughly divided into a valve body with a long strip in the middle, a connecting component connected to one end of the valve body (for connecting the wine spear 1) and a switch knob connected to the other end of the valve body. The width of the faucet 4 mentioned above mainly refers to the width of the valve body. The bending setting of the fitting portion 311 can make the contour of part of its inner wall arc-shaped, so that the faucet 4 can be embedded in the valve body. After the jaws 31 are opened, the outer wall of the clamping jaw 31 and the inner wall of the fitting portion 311 have a higher fit, and the deformable portion 312 folded outward can form a gap between itself and the outer wall of the faucet 4, and the existence of the gap is used to reduce the contact amount between the faucet 4 and maintain a higher elastic force to ensure the limitation of the faucet 4. As an alternative, the inner wall contour of the deformable portion 312 can also be made to match the outer wall contour of the faucet 4 to ensure that the faucet 4 is clamped in cooperation with the deformable portion 312. There are several The weakened hole 313 is long and strip-shaped, and several weakened holes 313 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the clamping claw 31. The arrangement of the numerous weakened holes 313 can make the deformation portion 312 more easily deformed to ensure that the faucet 4 can be more conveniently inserted into the clamping claw 31. In addition, several claw plates 3121 in the shape of rectangular plates and bent are integrally formed at the edge of the deformation portion 312. Several claw plates 3121 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the deformation portion 312. Due to the arrangement of the claw plates 3121, the faucet 4 can be more effectively clamped into the clamping claw 31. The head 4 is clamped, and a number of long strip-shaped friction ribs 31211 are formed on the inner wall of each claw plate 3121 along the width direction of the clamping claw 31, and the friction ribs 31211 replace the claw plate 3121 to contact the faucet 4, so as to ensure the deformation amplitude of the claw plate 3121 and ensure that the faucet 4 is easily inserted, and each friction rib 31211 has a claw plate 3121 extending to the inner wall of the deformation part 312, so as to ensure the structural strength of the claw plate 3121 itself while improving the connection strength between the claw plate 3121 and the deformation part 312.

[0033] The cross section of the second clamping jaw 32 along the radial direction of the cover body 3 is U-shaped, and a plurality of triangular limit blocks 321 are integrally formed on the inner wall of the side away from the first clamping jaw 31. The plurality of limit blocks 321 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second clamping jaw 32, and each limit block 321 is arranged close to the jaw opening of the second clamping jaw 32. Figure 6The top of the wine spear 1 and the bottom of the cover body 3 have a planar abutment portion 11 along the circumferential direction. When the cover body 3 is assembled (at this time, the faucet 4 has been inserted into the clamping jaw 1 31 and the several brackets 5 have been inserted into the clamping jaw 2 32), the lower side of the faucet 4 can abut against the abutment portion 11, and at the same time, one edge of the lower side of the bracket 5 located at the bottom abuts against the abutment surface, and the other side of the lower side is limited by the limit block 321, thereby ensuring the stable positioning of the faucet 4 and the several brackets 5. In addition, a plurality of weakened holes 2 322 are opened at each folded junction of the clamping jaw 2 32, and the plurality of weakened holes 2 opened at each folded junction of the clamping jaw 2 32 are spaced apart along the length direction of the clamping jaw 2 32.

[0034] Combine Figure 7 and Figure 8 On the inner wall of the handle 2, there are spaced apart limit grooves 1 21, 22, 3 23 and 4 24 along the circumferential direction. One end of the faucet 4 (i.e., the connecting component) is embedded in the limit groove 1 21, and the other end (i.e., the switch knob) is embedded in the limit groove 22. One end of the bracket 5 is embedded in the limit groove 3 23, and the other end is embedded in the limit groove 4 24. Through this arrangement, there is a larger space in the handle 2 to accommodate the faucet 4 and the bracket 5. Of course, by the ends of the faucet 4 and the bracket 5 abutting against the groove wall, the faucet 4 and the bracket 5 can also be limited in the circumferential direction, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the faucet 4 and the bracket 5.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, except that: Figure 9 As shown, the protrusion of the resistance rib 31211 is larger than that of the embodiment 1 and is in the shape of a thin plate, so as to ensure that the force of the resistance rib 31211 against the outer wall of the faucet (valve body) is greater, and the assembly of the faucet is more stable. Secondly, there are several limit blocks 321 arranged at intervals along the length direction on the inner walls on both sides of the clamping jaw 2 32, and several limit blocks 321 are arranged close to the claw mouth of the clamping jaw 2 32. When several brackets 5 are stacked and clamped in the clamping jaw 2 32, the two sides of the bracket 5 located at the bottom are abutted against the limit blocks 321, and a limit plate 323 protruding toward the claw mouth of the clamping jaw 2 32 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the clamping jaw 2 32. The bracket 5 located at the top is clamped with the limit plate 323 through a slot.
