Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Beverage containers are very common wine storage containers in the prior art, commonly known as wine barrels. They are favored by consumers because of their large storage space and the ability to maintain a good taste of the wine stored in them.

[0003] A complete beverage container generally consists of three parts: a barrel body, a wine spear installed on the barrel body, and a faucet connected to the wine spear. The installation position of the faucet is diverse and can be installed at the top or bottom of the barrel. In order to overcome the effect of gravity and ensure smooth wine discharge, the barrel body with the wine spear and faucet installed on the top may even be inverted in the existing technology for pouring wine.

[0004] In order to ensure the stability of wine discharge from the bottom and when the wine barrel is inverted to pour wine, the wine barrel is generally equipped with a base to support it. For example, a Chinese patent (authorization announcement number: CN205285612U) discloses a wine rack for placing wine barrels, which includes a base, a plurality of brackets assembled below the base, and a wine barrel assembled above the base. The base has an upper surface and a lower surface arranged relative to each other and a groove depressed downward from the upper surface. The wine barrel is partially accommodated in the groove. The wine rack for placing the wine barrel also includes a clamping member arranged between the wine barrel and the base.

[0005] The above-mentioned reference document discloses that the wine barrel is supported by the cooperation of the base and several brackets. Although the several brackets can be rotated and folded around the axis through the legs, the attached Figure 1 、 2 It is not difficult to see that the space occupied by the base does not change as the bracket is folded. The space occupied is large, which is not conducive to the storage of the base. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology and to propose a support structure for a beverage container. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to support a wine barrel while facilitating storage.

[0007] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a support structure for a beverage container, the beverage container includes a barrel body, characterized in that the support structure includes a plurality of elongated brackets and a handle connected to the barrel body, the handle includes a ring-shaped gripping portion, the gripping portion is provided with a plurality of slots with notches facing away from the barrel body, and the plurality of slots are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the gripping portion, and one end of a plurality of the brackets is clamped in the slots.

[0008] The present application adopts several long strip-shaped brackets as the supporting structure to support the barrel body. Specifically, several slots are opened on the gripping part of the handle. These slots are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the gripping part and the slots are arranged back to the barrel body. The user can snap one end of each bracket into the slot, and the clamping force generated by the snap connection can ensure the assembly stability of each bracket and the handle. Under this premise, the user can invert the barrel body connected with several brackets so that each bracket cooperates to support the barrel body. While achieving this effect, compared with the existing technology, several brackets can be removed from each slot when they are stored, and then stacked together for storage, ensuring that each bracket occupies less space, thereby ensuring more convenient storage.

[0009] In the above-mentioned support structure for beverage containers, each of the brackets includes a long, strip-shaped body and a plug-in portion formed at one end of the body. The length of the plug-in portion is less than the depth of the slot, the width of the plug-in portion is less than the width of the body, and the width of the plug-in portion is greater than the length of the slot opening. The width of the plug-in portion is actually slightly greater than the length of the slot opening, thereby allowing the two sides of the plug-in portion to be clamped tightly to the two sides of the slot, and ensuring that the plug-in portion can abut against the outer wall of the grip portion after being inserted. The provision of the plug-in portion can ensure a stable connection between the bracket and the handle, and the abutment between the end of the body and the outer wall of the grip portion can improve the support stability of the bracket for the barrel body and ensure the placement stability of the barrel body.

[0010] In the beverage container support structure described above, each slot has an inner wall with an inwardly projecting abutment rib along its depth. One side of the bracket has an inner abutment boss located at the junction of the inserting portion and the body. The inner abutment boss abuts against the end of the abutment rib that faces the slot notch. The abutment rib and the inner abutment boss further enhance the bracket's support stability for the container.

[0011] In the beverage container support structure described above, the inserting portion has bent reinforcements on both sides, and the two reinforcements are integrally formed with the inner abutment boss. The two reinforcements cooperate with the inner abutment boss to ensure the structural stability of the inner abutment boss. The two reinforcements also reinforce the inserting portion, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the inserting portion.

[0012] In the above-mentioned support structure for a beverage container, the cross-sectional length of any one of the reinforcements is less than the slot width of the slot, the distance between the abutting rib and the other side wall of the slot is less than the thickness of the plug-in portion, and the distance between the two reinforcements on the plug-in portion is greater than the width of the abutting rib. When plugging, the plug-in portion can be engaged with the inner walls of one side of the slot via the two reinforcements, while the side of the plug-in portion facing away from the abutting rib is engaged with the slot wall located between the two sides and opposite the abutting rib, and the side of the plug-in portion facing the abutting rib is engaged with the abutting rib, thereby achieving stable plugging of the plug-in portion into the slot. It is worth mentioning that because the cross-sectional length of each reinforcement is less than the slot width and the distance between the two reinforcements is greater than the width of the abutting rib, a gap is formed between the side of each reinforcement facing the abutting rib and the inner wall of the slot, and a gap also exists between the two reinforcements and the abutting rib. The existence of these gaps ensures that the plug-in portion is free to plug, ensuring a more convenient and labor-saving plugging operation.

[0013] In the beverage container support structure described above, an outer abutment boss is located on the other side of the bracket, at the junction of the inserting portion and the body. The outer abutment boss is positioned opposite the inner abutment boss and abuts against the outer wall of the grip portion, further increasing the contact area between the body and the handle and ensuring the stability of the bracket's support for the container.

[0014] In the beverage container support structure described above, the body has a snap-fitting portion protruding outward along its length on one side, and a snap-fitting slot is defined along its length on the other side. When stored, multiple brackets can be stacked. Specifically, two adjacent brackets can be snapped together using the snap-fitting portion on one bracket and the snap-fitting slot on the other bracket, thereby ensuring sufficient storage space for each bracket and ensuring stability when stored.

[0015] Compared with the existing technology, the support structure of the beverage container has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Several brackets are connected through slots on the surface of the plug-in part and the handle grip. Under the premise of ensuring a firm connection, the main body and the outer wall of the grip are abutted to achieve stable support for the handle and the barrel filled with wine.

[0017] 2. When storing, since the bracket itself is in the shape of a long strip, it occupies less space. In addition, the clamping parts and clamping grooves provided on both sides of the bracket allow two adjacent brackets to be firmly positioned in a plug-in and tight fit manner, ensuring storage space while centrally storing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] 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.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in the support structure of the beverage container, the beverage container includes a barrel body 1 and a wine spear installed on the barrel body 1, the support structure includes a handle 3 and a plurality of long plate-shaped brackets 2, wherein the handle 3 specifically includes an annular gripping portion 31 and an annular mounting portion 32, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the barrel body 1, and the barrel body 1 also includes a plurality of connecting portions 33, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the barrel body 1 and are respectively integrally formed with the gripping portion 31 and the mounting portion 32, the mounting portion 32 of the handle 3 is pressed and positioned by the wine spear installed on the barrel body 1, so that the handle 3 is positioned on the wine barrel, and combined with Figure 6 A plurality of slots 311 are provided on the outer wall of the gripping portion 31 of the handle 3 , with the slots facing away from the barrel body 1 .

[0029] Combine Figure 4-8 Each bracket 2 includes a long strip-shaped body 21 and a plug-in portion 22 at one end of the body 21 along the length direction. Figure 2 The width of the plug-in portion 22 is greater than the width of the slot 311, and the width of the plug-in portion 22 is smaller than the width of the body 21, so that the plug-in portion 22 can be engaged with the slot 311 through its two opposite side walls. On one side of each bracket 2 and at the junction of the plug-in portion 22 and the body 21, there is a U-shaped inner abutment boss 23. In the slot 311, one of the other two side groove walls has an abutment rib 3111 protruding inward along its depth direction. On the other side of each bracket 2 and at the junction of the plug-in portion 22 and the body 21, there is a rectangular outer abutment boss 24. When the plug-in portion 22 is engaged, After being plugged into the slot 311, the inner abutment boss 23 can abut against the end of the abutment rib 3111, and the outer abutment boss 24 can abut against the outer wall of the gripping portion 31. The distance between the abutment rib 3111 and the groove wall on the opposite side is less than the thickness of the plug-in portion 22. In other words, the surface of the plug-in portion 22 facing the outer wall and the groove wall of the slot 311 are also in a snap-fit ​​state. Through the snap-fit ​​cooperation of the above-mentioned various parts, the connection between the plug-in portion 22 and the slot is stable. At the same time, through the end of the main body 21, the inner abutment boss 23 and the outer abutment boss 24, the main body 21 effectively supports the handle 3 and the barrel body 1, ensuring the stable installation of the barrel body 1.

[0030] Combine Figure 2 , both sides of the plug-in part 22 have reinforcing parts 221 that are bent inward and integrally formed with the inner abutment boss 23. The existence of the reinforcing part 221 can make the structural strength of the plug-in part 22 higher, and at the same time, it is integrally formed with the abutment boss, so that the three can cooperate to further play the role of reinforcing ribs. It is worth mentioning that the cross-sectional length of any reinforcing part 221 is smaller than the slot width of the slot 311, and the distance between the two plug-in parts 22 is greater than the width of the abutment rib 3111, that is, a gap is formed between the reinforcing part 221 and the slot 311 on this side of the slot with the abutment rib 3111, and the two reinforcing parts 221 do not contact the abutment rib 3111, thereby forming a larger clearance space, ensuring convenient and labor-saving plug-in.

[0031] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a long strip-shaped snap-in groove 212 is provided on one side of the main body 21 along the length direction, and a protruding snap-in portion 211 is provided on the other side of the main body 21 along the length direction. When each bracket 2 needs to be stored, the disassembled brackets 2 can be stacked together in a stacked manner, so that the snap-in portion 211 on one of the two adjacent brackets 2 is snapped into the snap-in groove 212 provided on the other bracket 2, thereby ensuring that the brackets 2 will not scatter when they are stored together.

[0032] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
