Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage equipment and relates to a valve for an automatic wine dispenser. Background Technology
[0002] As more and more people desire to drink fresh, hygienic, and delicious authentic beer, draft beer machines were born. The main components of a draft beer machine include the tap, sprayer, dispenser, and keg. The dispenser and sprayer draw beer from the keg to the tap, which acts as a switch. When people open the tap, beer flows from it into their glasses, allowing them to drink fresh beer. Therefore, the tap, as the final control point for beer dispensing, plays a crucial role.
[0003] The existing automatic wine dispenser includes an electric drive unit, a valve body with a wine outlet, and an operating component that is connected to the electric drive unit. The valve body contains a valve core, but there are still some shortcomings in its use: the valve core in the valve body can only control the opening and closing of the valve, and cannot adjust the wine flow rate to meet customer needs. If an additional independent flow regulating valve is set up, it is also difficult to ensure convenient cleaning of the inside of the flow regulating valve during cleaning. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a valve for an automatic wine dispenser. The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that existing wine dispenser valves cannot simultaneously achieve flow regulation and ease of cleaning and maintenance.
[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A valve for an automatic wine dispenser includes a detachable half-valve body one and a half-valve body two. The valve further includes a cylindrical pipe connector and a frustoconical bullet-shaped adjusting core. The end of the pipe connector is sealed to the port of the half-valve body two. The inner wall of the end of the pipe connector that connects to the half-valve body two is flared. The two ends of the bullet-shaped adjusting core are respectively inserted into the half-valve body two and the pipe connector and can move axially along the pipe connector. A quick-release nut is sleeved around the pipe connector. The quick-release nut is screwed onto the outer periphery of the half-valve body two and presses the pipe connector onto the half-valve body two axially.
[0007] Existing on / off valve cores can be easily installed between half-valve body one and half-valve body two to control the flow path inside the valve body. Simultaneously, half-valve body one and half-valve body two can be separated for easy internal cleaning. A pipe connector is installed and aligned with the half-valve body. A frustum-shaped bullet-shaped adjusting core is placed between the pipe connector and half-valve body two. The pipe connector delivers beverage from the container into the valve body. The bullet-shaped adjusting core can be controlled by an adjusting rod extending into half-valve body two to move axially, adjusting the gap between its outer circumference and the inner wall of the pipe connector, thus achieving flow regulation. The pipe connector is fixed to half-valve body two with a quick-release nut to form a connection. When cleaning the inside of the valve body, the user only needs to loosen the quick-release nut to remove the pipe connector and expose the bullet-shaped adjusting core for easy removal. This allows for convenient cleaning of the valve body's flow regulation structure, ensuring ease of cleaning the entire valve body while achieving flow regulation.
[0008] In the valve of the aforementioned automatic wine dispenser, the end of the pipe connector is inserted into the second half-valve body. A sealing ring is fitted around the outer periphery of the pipe connector, and the outer edge of the sealing ring abuts against the inner wall of the second half-valve body circumferentially. This allows the pipe connector to be positioned relative to the second half-valve body, facilitating assembly after cleaning. Simultaneously, the sealing ring is positioned between the outer periphery of the pipe connector and the inner wall of the second half-valve body, achieving a seal while protecting the sealing ring from long-term contact with the external environment, preventing performance loss.
[0009] In the valve of the aforementioned automatic dispensing device, the outer periphery of the pipe joint has an annular shoulder. The two sides of the shoulder abut against the end face of the second half-valve body and the quick-release nut, respectively. This abutment between the shoulder and the end face of the second half-valve body provides a certain degree of sealing and also serves as a point of force for tightening the quick-release nut, ensuring a stable connection between the pipe joint and the second half-valve body.
[0010] In the valve of the aforementioned automatic dispensing device, the outer periphery of the bullet-shaped adjusting core has several circumferentially arranged flow channel grooves, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the bullet-shaped adjusting core. This ensures that even when the outer periphery of the bullet-shaped adjusting core is in contact with the inner wall of the pipe connector, the beverage can still flow through the flow channel grooves to achieve a minimum flow rate. Furthermore, it helps reduce the area of adhesion between the outer periphery of the bullet-shaped adjusting core and the inner wall of the pipe connector after long-term use, making disassembly convenient.
[0011] In the valve of the aforementioned automatic dispensing device, the outer edge of the end face of the pipe connector facing away from the second half-valve body is chamfered. This facilitates easy insertion and connection of the pipe connector end to the beverage container or the dispensing pipe on the container.
[0012] In the valve of the aforementioned automatic dispensing device, the outer circumference of the pipe connector has circumferentially arranged external splines, and the inner wall of the second half-valve body has circumferentially arranged internal splines. The external splines and internal splines mesh with each other to circumferentially position the pipe connector and the second half-valve body. This helps to prevent the pipe connector from rotating relative to the second half-valve body under stress during use, which could cause the quick-release nut to loosen, thus ensuring the stability of the entire valve body structure.
[0013] In the valve of the aforementioned automatic wine dispenser, the quick-release nut has several circumferentially spaced operating holes on its outer periphery. This allows the user to easily tighten or loosen the quick-release nut by inserting a tool into the operating holes and rotating it, making the disassembly and cleaning process more convenient.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] The valve of this automatic wine dispenser is designed with a multi-section combined structure, which enables more thorough cleaning of the valve body while achieving valve on / off control and flow control, making the cleaning operation more convenient. Attached Figure Description
