Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Craft beer is widely favored by consumers due to its unique taste. As the name suggests, craft beer is stored in a keg. When drinking it, a special dispensing nozzle is usually installed on the keg. In recent years, with the continuous development of technology, the structure of the keg has also been constantly innovated. Nowadays, kegs can be divided into two types based on their usage: upright and inverted. For the latter, which is an inverted keg, the dispensing nozzle used is also different from that of the former (i.e., upright).

[0003] For example, a beer keg dispensing valve disclosed in Chinese Patent (Authorization Announcement No.: CN2260931Y) includes a gas-liquid distribution valve body with a spiral boss and a beer valve core top post at its front end. The key feature is that an air inlet channel and a beer outlet channel are respectively provided on both sides of the gas-liquid distribution valve body. The air inlet end of the air inlet channel communicates with an air inlet valve and passes through the beer valve core top post, communicating with a straw inside the beer keg. One end of the beer outlet channel communicates with the beer outlet, and the other end outlet is located on the outer side of the middle of the horizontal plane of the spiral boss, communicating with the inner cavity of the beer keg through a side hole of the beer spout body. This is consistent with the text described in paragraph 6 on page 2 of the specification and the appendix. Figure 1 , 2 It is known that the dispensing valve is connected to the valve core of the beer barrel through a spiral boss, which allows the air intake channel and the straw to communicate, while also allowing the dispensing channel to communicate with the cavity inside the beer barrel through the valve core. Therefore, after outside air is input, the air entering the beer barrel can continuously push the beer outward due to pressure.

[0004] However, before use, especially during transportation, beer kegs containing beer are generally placed upright. Due to the pressure of the beer inside the keg, some beer will inevitably enter and remain in the straw, and be affected by the surrounding environment. Figure 2 It can be clearly seen that there is a large gap between the air inlet valve and the beer dispensing valve body of the beer keg. In order to avoid wasting the beer in the straw, in addition to the beer that is originally used to hold the beer output from the beer dispensing valve body, a cup also needs to be placed below the air inlet valve to collect the beer that remains in the straw, which makes the operation quite inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a wine dispensing faucet structure. The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to avoid wine waste while improving ease of use and operation.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A wine dispensing faucet structure includes a valve body, the valve body having a gas channel and a wine channel inside, characterized in that both the gas channel and the wine channel are elongated, the valve body has an air inlet channel and a wine outlet channel, the air inlet of the air inlet channel and the wine outlet of the wine outlet channel are arranged adjacent to each other, the air inlet channel and the gas channel are connected, the wine outlet channel and the wine channel are connected, and the air inlet of the air inlet channel and the wine outlet of the wine outlet channel are offset along the length direction of the gas channel and / or the wine channel.

[0007] This dispensing faucet structure includes a valve body with internal wine and gas channels. One end of the valve body connects to the spout of the wine barrel, allowing the gas channel inside the valve body to communicate with the air pipe in the wine barrel, and simultaneously connecting the wine channel to the wine path of the spout. This allows users to dispense wine as needed. Furthermore, in this application, the air inlet and wine outlet channels are both located within the valve body, offset along the length of the gas and / or wine channels. The air inlet of the air inlet and the wine outlet of the wine outlet channel are adjacent to each other. While wine is dispensed through the wine outlet channel, the wine previously retained in the air pipe can also flow sequentially through the gas and air inlet channels into the cup, eliminating the need for a separate cup to collect the wine retained in the air pipe. This allows for normal dispensing of wine while simultaneously emptying any retained wine, preventing waste and improving ease of use.

[0008] In the aforementioned dispensing faucet structure, the outer wall of the valve body has an outwardly protruding valve nozzle, and both the air inlet channel and the dispensing channel are located within the valve nozzle. This allows the air inlet channel and the dispensing channel to be closer together, avoiding excessive spacing between them.

[0009] In the aforementioned dispensing faucet structure, the valve body is elongated, with both the gas channel and the liquor channel extending along its length. The valve nozzle is formed on the lower outer wall of the valve body, causing the air inlet channel and the liquor outlet channel to be angled downwards. The elongated valve body ensures the assembly of the connecting part and the faucet switch, while also preventing interference between the faucet switch and the liquor barrel when the connecting part is connected to the liquor spout. Furthermore, it ensures a more rational arrangement of the gas and liquor channels. In addition, the downward-facing valve nozzle, with its angled air inlet and liquor outlet channels, ensures a smoother flow of liquor trapped in the air pipe and liquor drawn through the liquor and liquor outlet channels.

[0010] In the aforementioned dispensing faucet structure, the valve body has a connecting part for connecting a wine spear on one end, and a faucet switch on the other end for controlling the connection and disconnection between the gas channel and the air inlet channel, and between the wine channel and the dispensing channel. The dispensing channel is positioned closer to the faucet switch than the air inlet channel. This dispensing faucet structure also includes a connecting part and a faucet switch, both connected to the connecting part. As the name suggests, the faucet switch controls the opening and closing of the wine channel and the gas channel, thereby connecting or disconnecting the wine channel and the dispensing channel, as well as the gas channel and the air inlet channel. Furthermore, the dispensing channel is positioned closer to the faucet switch, allowing the user to more quickly determine the placement reference of the glass during use, ensuring ease of use.

[0011] In the aforementioned dispensing faucet structure, the valve nozzle is elongated, and the air intake channel and the dispensing channel have elliptical racetrack-shaped cross-sections. Furthermore, the air intake channel and the dispensing channel are arranged side-by-side along the length of the valve nozzle. This arrangement ensures that the layout of the air intake channel and the dispensing channel is more space-efficient.

[0012] In the above-mentioned wine dispensing faucet structure, the valve nozzle is elongated, the air inlet channel and the wine dispensing channel are opened along the length direction of the valve nozzle, and the line connecting the center line of the air inlet channel along the length direction and the center line of the wine dispensing channel along the length direction forms a V shape.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the structure of this wine-dispensing tap has the following advantages:

[0014] The air intake channel and the wine outlet channel are both located in the valve nozzle of the valve body and are set at an angle downwards. The air intake channel and the wine outlet channel are also staggered along the length of the valve body to ensure that their combined size matches the size of the cup opening. During the first wine draw, while wine is drawn normally through the wine outlet channel, the wine falling through the air intake channel (which was originally stuck in the air pipe of the barrel) can be caught together in a cup, avoiding wine waste and improving the convenience of use.

[0023] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the dispensing faucet structure includes a long, narrow valve body 1. A gas channel 11 and a liquor channel 12 are provided within the valve body 1 along its length. The liquor channel 12 and the gas channel 11 are arranged side-by-side within the valve body 1. One end of the valve body 1 has a connecting portion 14, and the other end is connected to a faucet switch 15. A valve nozzle portion 13 protrudes outwards on the lower outer side of the valve body 1 near the faucet switch 15. The valve nozzle portion 13 has an air inlet channel 131 communicating with the gas channel 11 and a liquor outlet channel 132 communicating with the liquor channel 12. Both the air inlet channel 131 and the liquor outlet channel 132 are long and narrow with oblong cross-sections. Both the air inlet channel 131 and the liquor outlet channel 132 are inclined downwards and staggered along the length of the valve body 1. Specifically, the air inlet channel 131 and the liquor outlet channel 132 are located within the valve nozzle portion 13 and arranged side-by-side, with the liquor outlet channel 132 being closer to the faucet switch 15 than the air inlet channel 131.

[0025] Regarding the placement of the air intake channel 131 and the wine outlet channel 132, as an alternative, they can be opened along the length of the valve nozzle 13, and the line connecting the centerline of the air intake channel 131 and the centerline of the wine outlet channel 132 can form a V shape, or other shapes.

[0026] Secondly, regarding the structure of valve body 1 itself, as an alternative, it can be replaced with a split, elongated valve body 1 and valve body 2. The gas passage 11 is opened in valve body 1, the liquid passage 12 is opened in valve body 2, the connecting part 14 is assembled at one end of valve body 1 and valve body 2, and the tap assembly is assembled at the other end of valve body 1 and valve body 2. In addition, it is worth mentioning that, in terms of control of opening and closing, a double tap switch 15 can be used instead of a single tap switch 15. Simply put, a tap switch 15 is installed on valve body 1 to realize independent control of the gas passage opening and closing, and a tap switch 15 is installed on valve body 2 to realize independent control of the liquid passage opening and closing.

[0027] The connecting part 14 and the faucet switch 15 proposed in this application are prior art. Simply put, the connecting part 14 includes a plug and snap-fit ​​strips symmetrically arranged on both sides of the plug 21. The plug has a flow channel one communicating with the air inlet pipe and a flow channel two communicating with the wine outlet pipe. The plug is inserted into the wine spear, and the snap-fit ​​strips can snap onto the outer wall of the wine spear to install the connecting part 14 on the wine spear. After installation, the air inlet pipe is connected to the air guide pipe inside the wine barrel through the first flow channel, and the wine outlet pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the wine barrel through the second flow channel. The faucet switch 15 includes a cap and a linkage. The cap is axially fixed and rotatably connected to the valve body 1. The linkage includes a sleeve portion that slides on the valve body 1 and two valve stems fixed or detachable within the sleeve portion. The ends of the two valve stems are vulcanized or snapped with rubber sleeves. The positions of the two valve stems correspond one-to-one with the outer ends of the wine outlet channel 132 and the air inlet channel 131. The linkage is located inside the cap. The outer peripheral wall of the sleeve portion of the linkage has a spirally extending groove, and the inner peripheral wall of the cap has a protrusion that matches and is embedded in the spiral groove. This structure utilizes the principle of threaded connection, matching and embedding the protrusion on the cap into the spiral groove of the linkage. By rotating the cap clockwise or counterclockwise, the linkage moves back and forth, thereby driving the two valve stems to move axially back and forth, ultimately achieving the sealing or opening between the wine channel 12 and the wine outlet channel 132, and between the gas channel 11 and the air inlet channel 131.

[0028] 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 substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0029] Although this document frequently uses terms such as valve body 1, gas channel 11, liquid channel 12, valve nozzle 13, air inlet channel 131, liquid outlet channel 132, connecting part 14, and tap switch 15, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
