Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a wine dispensing device, belonging to the technical field of wine and beverage drinking equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Carbonated beverages are food-grade beverages that possess gaseous elements due to their production process or the addition of gas. Typically, this gas is a carbonated compound or other gas that may not affect the beverage or may even enhance it. Among these, bottled carbonated spirits are widely used in bars, parties, and other similar settings due to their advantages such as large volume, stable taste, and rich flavor.
[0003] For carbonated bottled spirits, a common method is to install a tap at the bottom of the barrel to dispensing the spirit. However, since the barrel only has this one opening, a large amount of high-pressure gas is needed to force the spirit out. The pressure of this high-pressure gas is difficult to control, and the presence of high-pressure carbon dioxide in the spirit creates an imbalance in pressure between the inside and outside of the barrel. This can lead to problems such as spirit spraying out, excessive foam in the drinking container with insufficient spirit volume, overflow, incomplete flow, and excessively slow or fast flow rates, all of which negatively impact the quality of the spirit and the drinking experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a wine dispensing device capable of controlling the opening and closing of the wine outlet and the air outlet, thereby preventing phenomena such as wine spraying or excessively slow flow caused by unequal pressure inside and outside the wine barrel, ensuring the quality of the wine, and enhancing the wine tasting experience.

[0019] The wine dispensing device provided in this application has a wine dispensing section, a gas dispensing section, an opening and closing section, and a faucet seat. Its compact structure allows for connection to the wine barrel and facilitates wine dispensing operations. The gas dispensing section is used to expel gas, while the wine dispensing section is used to dispense the wine; the two sections do not interfere with each other, avoiding affecting the wine flow rate and improving wine quality. Rotating the faucet cap drives the stroke knob, thereby adjusting the position of the sealing pipe to selectively open or close the gas outlet and wine outlet. Specifically, first rotating the faucet cap drives the stroke knob to the first stroke, releasing the pressure inside the wine barrel, thus... The internal air pressure of the barrel is equal to the external air pressure, preventing spraying of wine during dispensing. Then, the knob is turned to the second stroke, connecting the dispensing port and the first dispensing pipe, initiating constant pressure dispensing. At this time, the vent and the first vent pipe remain connected. If the internal air pressure is lower than the external air pressure, air automatically flows into the barrel due to the pressure difference, ensuring that the internal and external air pressures remain consistent. This allows for a continuous and balanced flow of wine. When not dispensing wine, both the vent and dispensing ports can be sealed, preventing accidental leakage of liquid or gas and improving safety. Attached Figure Description

The second enclosure plate 28 is located between two adjacent first enclosure plates 27, so that the faucet cap 9 can move within a specific space, avoiding excessive rotation, and further realizing precise control of the wine dispensing process.
[0048] In one embodiment, the protrusions include a first protrusion 12 and a second protrusion 14, and the locking grooves include a first locking groove 13 and a second locking groove 15. The first protrusion 12 is locked in the first locking groove 13, and the second protrusion 14 is locked in the second locking groove 15, which enhances the connection stability between the faucet cap 9 and the travel knob 8. The length of the second locking groove 15 is greater than the length of the first locking groove 13, and the length of the second protrusion 14 is greater than the length of the first protrusion 12. The second protrusion 14 is movably disposed between the first enclosure plate 27 and the second enclosure plate 28, and cooperates with the connection structure of the protrusion 17 and the relief groove 21, which restricts the excessive rotation of the faucet cap 9 and improves the stability and durability of the wine dispensing device.
[0049] As one implementation method, a snap-fit component 29 is provided on the outer side of the faucet seat 1. The faucet seat 1 is snapped onto the barrel 36 by the snap-fit component 29, which makes disassembly and assembly convenient and enhances the stability of the connection structure, preventing the connection from loosening or falling off due to external factors such as vibration and impact.
[0050] In one implementation, a wine outlet 30 is provided at the end of the second wine outlet pipe 4 away from the first wine outlet pipe 3. The wine outlet 30 is sealed to the wine barrel 36 to prevent the wine from flowing out from the gap between the wine outlet 30 and the wine barrel 36, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection between the wine outlet device and the wine barrel 36. The second vent pipe 7 is inserted into the wine barrel 36 to allow gas to be discharged from the wine barrel 36. It is set separately from the wine outlet channel to prevent gas from mixing with the wine and being discharged together, thus ensuring the taste of the wine.
[0051] As one implementation method, the end of the second vent pipe 7 away from the faucet seat 1 is wavy, which facilitates the smooth insertion of the second vent pipe 7 into the barrel 36 and protects it from damage.
[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the dispensing head 30 and the barrel 36 are sealed together by a sealing ring, and the stroke knob 8 and the extension tube 22 are sealed together by a sealing ring to prevent leakage of liquid and gas.

The inner connector 31 is provided with a limit block 33, an elastic cover 34 and a spring 35. The elastic cover 34 abuts against the end of the inner connector 31 away from the dispensing head 30. Next, the spring 35 is located between the elastic cover 34 and the limiting block 33, which can protect the second vent pipe 7 from damage during the assembly process, and at the same time ensure that the second vent pipe 7 maintains a stable position and state during long-term use; the end of the second vent pipe 7 away from the faucet seat 1 passes through the inner connector 31 and the elastic cover 34 in sequence, and extends into the interior of the spring 35. This arrangement helps to enhance the connection stability between the wine dispensing device and the wine barrel 36, so that the gas can be continuously transmitted along a specific path, avoiding leakage and affecting the quality of the wine.
[0054] In the embodiments of this utility model, the materials of the sealing ring, sealing sleeve and elastic cover 34 can be rubber, silicone, polyurethane, soft plastic, etc. The embodiments of this utility model do not limit the materials of the sealing ring, sealing sleeve and elastic cover 34, and can be selected according to actual needs.
[0055] This utility model also provides a method of using the wine dispensing device, including the following steps:
[0056] (1) Rotate the faucet cap 9 counterclockwise and drive the stroke knob 8 to the first stroke. At this time, the sealing tube moves toward the faucet cap 9, the air outlet 5 and the first air outlet pipe 6 are connected, and the first plug 10 is still blocked between the first wine outlet pipe 3 and the wine outlet 2.
[0057] (2) Continue to rotate the faucet cap 9 counterclockwise and drive the stroke knob 8 to the second stroke. The sealing tube continues to move toward the faucet cap 9, so that the first wine outlet pipe 3 and the wine outlet 2 are connected. During this process, the air outlet 5 and the first air outlet pipe 6 are always connected.
[0058] (3) After taking the wine, rotate the faucet cap 9 clockwise until the first plug 10 is blocked between the wine outlet 2 and the first wine outlet pipe 3, and the second plug 11 is blocked between the first air outlet pipe 6 and the air outlet 5. At this time, the protrusion 17 abuts against the relief groove 21.
