Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage drinking equipment, and relates to a dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] The dispenser is a device that connects to the top of the beer keg and works with the beer spear inside the keg to draw out the beer from the keg. The operator needs to turn the handle on the dispenser, which will cause the top core inside the dispenser to move back and forth. When the top core moves downward, it can push down and open the valve core on the beer spear, thus opening the beer passage. At the same time, the external air source can also be connected to the keg, so that the gas passes through the dispenser and the beer spear into the keg, thereby forcing the beer out of the keg and realizing the outflow of beer.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application [Publication No.: CN115180585A] discloses a dispenser, including a valve body, a cylindrical top core, and a handle hinged to the valve body at one end. The lower side of the handle has a downwardly protruding pressing part that can press the top core downward into the valve body when the handle is pulled down. A locking structure is provided between the valve body and the handle to lock the handle when the top core is pressed into the valve body. The lower end face of the pressing part has a calibration slope and a limiting plane. The calibration slope is located between the handle hinge point and the limiting plane, and the calibration slope faces the handle hinge. One end of the contact is inclined upward relative to the limiting plane, and the angle between the calibration slope and the limiting plane is an obtuse angle. When the top core is pressed into the valve body and the handle is locked, the limiting plane faces downward and abuts against the upper end face of the top core. The valve body is also provided with an elastic element that can generate an upward pushing force on the top core. A limiting ring is fixed in the upper end port of the valve body. The limiting ring is coaxially arranged with the inner cavity of the valve body, and the inner circumferential surface of the limiting ring protrudes radially inward from the side wall of the inner cavity of the valve body. A pressure relief groove that runs vertically through the inner circumferential surface of the limiting ring is opened for the gas in the valve body to be discharged when the top core is pressed in.

[0004] The above structure involves pulling the handle downwards, causing the calibration ramp near the handle hinge point to swing to a horizontal position and rest against the upper surface of the top core, keeping the top core vertically pressed down. Once the top core is pressed into place, the gas inside the valve body is discharged through the pressure relief valve. This dispenser is often used repeatedly by merchants for extended periods or recycled for reuse, which can easily lead to contamination and spoilage of beverages or alcoholic liquids. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a dispenser. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is how to avoid the problem of beverage or wine becoming contaminated or spoiled due to repeated use of existing dispensers.

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

[0007] A dispenser includes a valve body, an upper top core, a lower top core located below the upper top core, and a handle hinged at one end to the valve body. Both the upper and lower top cores are disposed within the valve body. The upper top core has a transversely oriented mounting groove, and an elastic limiting plug is connected to the upper top core within the mounting groove. The inner wall of the lower top core has a limiting step. Pressing the handle downwards moves the upper and lower top cores until the lower end of the lower top core abuts against the valve body, and the end of the elastic limiting plug abuts against the inner wall of the lower top core. An elastic element is disposed within the valve body, which pushes the upper top core until the end of the elastic limiting plug passes through the mounting groove and sits on the limiting step, thus vertically limiting the upper and lower top cores.

[0008] Working principle: Upon first use, the handle hinged to the valve body presses down on the upper core. At this time, the elastic limiting plug of the upper core abuts against the inner wall of the lower core. The upper and lower cores slide downwards synchronously, compressing the elastic element inside the valve body and connecting the valve cavity to the outside air, thus dispensing the beverage. After dispensing, the handle is released, and the elastic force of the elastic element pushes the upper core upwards while the lower core remains stationary. The upper core moves until the end of the elastic limiting plug passes through the mounting groove and is positioned on the limiting step, achieving vertical positioning of the upper and lower cores. At this time, the lower end of the lower core abuts against the valve body. Therefore, when the handle is pressed again, the lower and upper cores are vertically limited, and there is no travel between the lower core and the valve body, preventing the handle from being pressed down. This means that this dispenser is a disposable product and cannot be reused, thus ensuring that the beverage or wine will not be contaminated and spoiled.

[0009] In the aforementioned dispenser, the lower top core has an installation cavity into which the upper top core can be inserted. The lower end of the upper top core is inserted into the installation cavity. When the end of the elastic limiting plug is located on the limiting step, there is a gap between the lower end of the upper top core and the bottom of the installation cavity.

[0010] The gap setting ensures that when the upper and lower cores move downwards together during the first use, the lower end of the upper core abuts against the bottom of the mounting cavity, thereby driving the lower core to move downwards synchronously. When the end of the elastic limit plug is located on the limit step, the upper core can move upwards relative to the lower core under the elastic force of the elastic element. At this time, there is a gap between the lower end of the upper core and the bottom of the mounting cavity, which improves the stability of use.

[0011] In the aforementioned distributor, the valve body has an annular mounting shoulder, the upper core includes an annular outer tube, the lower end of the elastic element abuts against the mounting shoulder, and the upper end abuts against the lower end of the outer tube.

[0012] The limiting step is designed so that the lower end of the elastic element abuts against the installation shoulder, and the upper end abuts against the lower end of the outer tube, which facilitates the installation of the elastic element.

[0013] In this application, the elastic element can be a spring, a disc spring, or other parts.

[0014] In the aforementioned distributor, the upper core further includes a cylindrical inner sleeve, the upper end of the lower core is located between the inner sleeve and the outer tube, the mounting groove is formed on the inner sleeve, and the upper end of the inner sleeve has a mounting notch communicating with the mounting groove.

[0015] The notch design allows for the insertion of a plate-shaped thin-plate tool between the outer wall of the inner sleeve and the lower core, enabling the installation of the elastic limit plug and improving the ease of installation.

[0016] In practical use, after the elastic limit plug is installed, the thin-plate tooling can be taken out from the notch. The notch can be blocked by other plugs to prevent the parts from falling out and improve the stability of use.

[0017] In the aforementioned distributor, the limiting step has an annular abutment wall, and the end of the elastic limiting plug can be located on the abutment wall.

[0018] The wall-mounted design features a ring shape, which ensures that the circumferential position of the elastic limit plug is not limited during installation of the top core. This facilitates the installation of the elastic limit plug, improves installation convenience, and prevents the elastic limit plug from getting stuck when it pops out, thus enhancing the stability of the distributor.

[0019] In the aforementioned dispenser, the elastic limiting plug includes a limiting spring and a limiting post. One end of the limiting spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove, and the other end abuts against the limiting post. The limiting spring has a tendency to push the limiting post to move away from the mounting groove.

[0020] This structure allows the limiting post to be supported by a material with high hardness, and the elastic force can be supplied through the limiting spring. The limiting post can be stably set against the wall, thus playing a better limiting role and improving the limiting effect.

[0021] In the aforementioned dispenser, the lower end of the outer tube protrudes to form a limiting hook, and the upper end of the lower top core protrudes to form an installation hook. The installation hook is always located inside the upper top core. When the end of the elastic limiting plug is located on the limiting step, the lower end of the installation hook abuts against the limiting hook.

[0022] The installation hook and limit hook design prevent the upper core from moving down excessively, thus improving the stability of the dispenser.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, this dispenser has the following advantages: the elastic limit plug allows the upper and lower cores to be vertically limited after the first use. When the handle is pressed again, the lower and upper cores are vertically limited, and there is no movement between the lower core and the valve body, so the handle cannot be pressed down. This means that this dispenser is a disposable product and cannot be reused, thus ensuring that the beverage or wine will not be contaminated and spoiled. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] 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.

[0035] like Figure 1As shown, this distributor includes a valve body 1, an upper core 2, a lower core 3 located below the upper core 2, and a handle 4 with one end hinged to the valve body 1. Both the upper core 2 and the lower core 3 are located inside the valve body 1.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, the upper top core 2 has a horizontally opened mounting groove 21. An elastic limiting plug 5 is connected to the upper top core 2 in the mounting groove 21. The inner side wall of the lower top core 3 has a limiting step 31. Pressing the handle 4 downward can drive the upper top core 2 and the lower top core 3 to move until the lower end of the lower top core 3 abuts against the valve body 1, and the end of the elastic limiting plug 5 abuts against the inner side wall of the lower top core 3. An elastic element 6 is provided in the valve body 1. The elastic element 6 can push the upper top core 2 to move until the end of the elastic limiting plug 5 passes through the mounting groove 21 and is located on the limiting step 31, and vertically limit the upper top core 2 and the lower top core 3.

[0037] Working principle: Upon first use, the handle 4 hinged to the valve body 1 presses down on the upper core 2. At this time, the elastic limiting plug 5 of the upper core 2 abuts against the inner wall of the lower core 3. The upper core 2 and the lower core 3 slide downwards simultaneously, compressing the elastic element 6 inside the valve body 1 and connecting the valve cavity of the valve body 1 with the outside air, thus dispensing the wine. After dispensing, the handle 4 is released, and the elastic force of the elastic element 6 pushes the upper core 2 upwards, while the lower core 3 remains stationary. The upper core 2 moves to the elastic limiting position. The end of the plug 5 protrudes from the mounting groove 21 and is located on the limiting step 31, realizing the vertical positioning of the upper core 2 and the lower core 3. At this time, the lower end of the lower core 3 abuts against the valve body 1, so that when the handle 4 is pressed again, the lower core 3 and the upper core 2 are vertically limited, and there is no movement between the lower core 3 and the valve body 1, so the handle 4 cannot be pressed down. That is, this dispenser is a disposable product and cannot be reused, thus ensuring that the beverage or wine will not be contaminated and spoiled.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower top core 3 has an installation cavity 32 for the upper top core 2 to be inserted. The lower end of the upper top core 2 is inserted into the installation cavity 32. When the end of the elastic limiting plug 5 is located on the limiting step 31, there is a gap 7 between the lower end of the upper top core 2 and the bottom of the installation cavity 32.

[0039] like Figure 1-4As shown, the valve body 1 has an annular mounting shoulder 11 inside, the upper core 2 includes an annular outer tube 22, the lower end of the elastic member 6 abuts against the mounting shoulder 11, and the upper end abuts against the lower end of the outer tube 22. The upper core 2 also includes a cylindrical inner sleeve 23, the upper end of the lower core 3 is located between the inner sleeve 23 and the outer tube 22, the mounting groove 21 is opened on the inner sleeve 23, the upper end of the inner sleeve 23 is provided with a mounting notch 24 communicating with the mounting groove 21, the limiting step 31 has an annular abutment wall 31a, and the end of the elastic limiting plug 5 can be located on the abutment wall 31a.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the elastic limiting plug 5 includes a limiting spring 51 and a limiting post 52. One end of the limiting spring 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting post 52. The limiting spring 51 has the tendency to push the limiting post 52 to move away from the mounting groove 21.

[0041] like Figure 3-6 As shown, the lower end of the outer tube 22 protrudes to form a limiting hook 22a, and the upper end of the lower top core 3 protrudes to form an installation hook 33. The installation hook 33 is always located inside the upper top core 2. When the end of the elastic limiting plug 5 is located on the limiting step 31, the lower end of the installation hook 33 abuts against the limiting hook 22a.

[0042] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
