Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of drinking equipment and relates to a wine outlet pipe quick-connect structure of a wine dispenser. Background Art

[0002] Beer is a common beverage. Unlike canned beer, barreled beer is more popular with consumers due to its flavor. As the name implies, barreled beer is beer that has been sealed in a barrel. To ensure easy access for consumers, a device called a dispenser is installed on the barrel to draw beer.

[0003] The wine dispenser in the prior art generally includes a shell with a cavity inside, and a battery, a motor, a wine outlet valve, a wine delivery pipe and a wine outlet pipe are installed in the cavity of the shell, wherein the wine delivery pipe is connected to the wine outlet valve and the wine spear respectively, and the wine outlet pipe is connected to the wine outlet valve. The battery powers the motor, and the wine outlet valve is controlled by the drive shaft of the motor. Under the drive action of the motor, the wine outlet valve controls the opening or closing of the wine path. In the open state, the wine in the wine barrel can pass through the wine spear, the wine delivery pipe, the wine outlet valve and finally the wine outlet pipe to discharge the wine out.

[0004] In the above structure, the connection between the wine outlet pipe and the wine outlet valve is a relatively important link. In addition to the above structure, an elbow specially used for connecting the wine outlet pipe and the wine outlet valve will be installed in the shell. The connection between the elbow and the wine outlet pipe is generally achieved by threaded connection. Specifically, an external thread will be opened at the end of the elbow, and an internal thread will be opened on the wine outlet pipe. The two are screwed and locked through the cooperation of internal and external threads.

[0005] However, the connection method between the elbow and the wine outlet pipe has certain disadvantages. The above-mentioned threaded connection method requires the user to screw the elbow and the wine outlet pipe, and the direction of the wine outlet pipe cannot be accurately controlled after the screw connection, and it often cannot correspond to the position of the hole for the wine outlet pipe on the outer shell. It takes a lot of time to adjust and the operation is extremely inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems in the existing technology and to propose a quick-connect structure for a wine outlet pipe of a wine dispenser. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to improve the convenience of installing the wine outlet pipe.

[0007] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: a quick-connect structure for a wine outlet pipe of a wine dispenser, the wine dispenser includes an elbow at one end for connecting to a wine outlet valve, and is characterized in that the quick-connect structure includes a joint seat with a channel opened inside and a connecting flange formed circumferentially on the outer wall of the other end of the elbow, the wine outlet pipe is clamped with the inner wall of one end of the channel, the joint seat has a claw, and the connecting flange has a groove, the joint seat abuts against the connecting flange and the claw is clamped with the groove, and the elbow is connected to the other end of the channel.

[0008] In the present application, the wine dispenser is connected to the wine spear through a wine pipe, and the wine outlet valve is opened under the drive of the motor, so that the wine passes through the wine pipe, the wine valve, the elbow and finally is discharged outward through the wine outlet pipe. Compared with the prior art, the present application sets a joint seat between the elbow and the wine outlet pipe, and connects the elbow and the wine pipe through the channel in the joint seat to ensure the smooth flow of wine. On this basis, the wine outlet pipe in the present application is installed in the channel of the joint seat by a clip-on method, and a claw is formed on the joint seat, and a slot is opened on the connecting flange of the elbow. The claw is clipped and fixed in the slot by a clip-on method, thereby completing the connection of the wine outlet pipe, the joint seat and the elbow. While ensuring the installation stability, the clip-on method replaces the threaded connection installation method of the elbow and the wine outlet pipe in the prior art. During the assembly process, there is no need to repeatedly screw the elbow or the wine outlet pipe, and after the assembly, it is ensured that the direction of the wine outlet pipe meets the actual installation requirements. There is no need to repeatedly adjust the direction of the wine outlet pipe during the final assembly, which effectively improves the installation convenience of the wine outlet pipe.

[0009] In the aforementioned quick-connect structure for the wine outlet pipe of the wine dispenser, the connector base is cylindrical, the connecting flange is disc-shaped, the channel is opened along the length of the connector base and is provided through both ends thereof, the claw is located at the edge of one end of the connector base, and the slot is opened at the edge of the connecting flange and is provided through both sides of the connecting flange. The wine outlet pipe is specifically engaged with the lower end of the channel in the connector base, with the claw passing through the slot, and the outer wall of the claw and the inner wall of the slot abutting against the rib, thereby achieving abutment between the connecting flange and the upper end of the connector base, and completing the locking of the connector base and the elbow.

[0010] In the quick-connect structure of the wine outlet pipe of the above-mentioned wine dispenser, the clamping claw includes two claw plates arranged opposite to each other along the circumference of the joint seat, a deformation groove is formed between the two claw plates, and the two claw plates have a protrusion protruding outward on the opposite sides, and each protrusion abuts against the upper side plate surface of the connecting flange toward one end of the wine outlet pipe. Specifically, during the installation process, when the two claw plates constituting the clamping claw extend from the notch on the lower side plate surface of the connecting flange and extend from the notch on the upper side plate surface of the connecting flange, the inner walls on both sides of the clamping groove can exert an extrusion force on the two claw plates to move toward the middle. Due to the presence of the deformation groove, the two claw plates can be deformed toward the middle, so that the outer side walls are pressed against the inner side walls of the clamping groove. Moreover, due to the presence of the protrusion, the upper ends of the two claw plates can abut against the upper side plate surface of the connecting flange through their own lower ends after extending out of the clamping groove, thereby positioning the two clamping claws in the longitudinal direction, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the elbow and the joint seat.

[0011] In the aforementioned quick-connect structure for the wine dispenser, the two protrusions have guide surfaces on opposite sides thereof, which are inclined outward from top to bottom. The slot extending through the lower side of the connecting flange is flared. The guide surfaces and the inner wall of the slot are engaged in an oblique manner, so that during engagement, the outer walls of the two protrusions are guided by the side walls of the slot, effectively preventing interference and jamming.

[0012] In the aforementioned quick-connect structure for the wine dispenser's wine outlet pipe, the claws are provided in a plurality and spaced circumferentially along the upper end of the connector base, and the slots are provided in a plurality and spaced along the connecting flange, with the claws corresponding to the slots in a one-to-one relationship. This one-to-one correspondence between the claws and the slots ensures a stable connection between the connector base and the elbow.

[0013] In the aforementioned quick-connect structure for the wine pipe of a wine dispenser, an annular plate is circumferentially disposed within the channel near the upper end of the connector base. The wine pipe is clipped into the channel and abuts against one side of the annular plate. One end of the elbow, formed with a connecting flange, is inserted into the channel and abuts against the other side of the annular plate. The annular plate limits the depth of the wine pipe's insertion into the channel. The annular plate limits the position of the elbow's end, and the abutment between the connecting flange and the outer end surface of the connector base ensures a stable connection between the two.

[0014] In the quick-connect structure of the wine outlet pipe of the above-mentioned wine dispenser, a limiting edge is provided in the channel above the annular plate along the circumferential direction, and the elbow is clamped in the limiting edge, thereby preventing the end of the elbow from shaking in the connector seat and ensuring a secure connection between the two.

[0015] In the aforementioned quick-connect structure for the wine dispenser's wine outlet pipe, a receiving groove is formed within the channel above the limiting edge. A sealing ring is embedded within the receiving groove, abutting against the outer wall of the elbow. This ensures a stable connection for the sealing ring and blocks the gap between the channel and the outer wall of the elbow, preventing leakage of wine.

[0016] In the aforementioned quick-connect structure for the wine outlet pipe of the wine dispenser, the upper edge of the connector seat has an upper flange along the circumferential direction, and the lower edge of the connector seat has a lower flange along the circumferential direction. The connecting flange abuts against the upper flange, and the outer wall of the middle portion of the connector seat has an annular ridge along the circumferential direction, with an annular groove formed between the annular ridge and the lower flange. The abutment and cooperation between the upper flange and the connector flange improves the support stability of the connector flange, and the provision of the annular ridge forms an annular groove on the outside of the connector seat between the annular ridge and the lower flange. Subsequently, the annular groove is engaged with the bayonet on the housing of the wine dispenser, thereby ensuring the assembly stability of the connector seat.

[0017] In the aforementioned quick-connect structure for the wine dispenser's wine pipe, the connector base has a plurality of vertically spaced reinforcing ribs (1) circumferentially disposed on its outer wall between the upper flange and the annular ridge, and a plurality of vertically spaced reinforcing ribs (2) circumferentially disposed within the annular groove, thereby further enhancing the overall structural strength of the connector base.

[0018] Compared with the existing technology, the wine outlet pipe quick connection structure of this wine dispenser has the following advantages:

[0019] A joint seat with a channel opened inside is provided, and the wine outlet pipe is connected to one end of the joint seat by clamping with the channel, and the other end of the joint seat is clamped by a claw and a groove opened on the elbow connecting flange, and the end of the elbow is extended into the channel, and the elbow and the wine outlet pipe are connected by the channel. By adopting the joint seat to clamp the two to replace the common threaded connection method in the prior art, there is no need for repeated screwing, and no need for repeated adjustment of the direction of the wine outlet pipe, which improves the convenience of installation while ensuring the firmness of the connection.
