Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of beverage equipment and relates to a valve body installation structure for a beverage 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] Existing automatic wine dispensers include a housing, mounting bracket, battery, electric drive unit, valve body with a wine dispensing port, and operating components connected to the electric drive unit. The valve body contains a valve core, and the mounting bracket serves as a platform for mounting the valve body, battery, and electric drive unit. However, some shortcomings still exist in use: the valve body needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly after use, which requires removing the valve body from the housing. Currently, the valve body is mostly installed by screws that fit into the screw holes on the valve body to fix the housing and valve body. Repeated disassembly and assembly can easily lead to thread failure, affecting the installation stability of the valve body. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a valve body mounting structure for a wine dispenser. The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that existing valve body mounting structures cannot guarantee valve body installation stability.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A valve body mounting structure for a wine dispenser, the wine dispenser including a housing and a valve body, the mounting structure including a mounting bracket fixed inside the housing, the valve body located inside the mounting bracket, the valve body having a tubular protrusion, one end of the protrusion extending out of the housing, characterized in that the mounting structure further includes a connecting plate, the outer periphery of the protrusion having a circumferentially arranged annular positioning groove, the connecting plate being inserted and positioned in the positioning groove, the connecting plate being detachably fixed to the housing.

[0007] The housing is used to shield and protect the valve body structure. The mounting bracket is fixed inside the housing to limit the valve body and serve as a mounting platform for the valve body and surrounding components. The tubular protrusion extends out of the housing to connect with the beverage container. By setting an annular positioning groove on the outer periphery of the protrusion and inserting a connecting plate that is opposite to the inner wall of the housing into the positioning groove, the connecting plate can be detachably fixed to the housing. The connecting plate is easy to detach and has screw holes, so there is no need to set screw holes on the valve body. Even if the threads are damaged due to disassembly during cleaning and maintenance, only the connecting plate needs to be replaced, which helps to ensure the long-term installation stability of the valve body at low cost.

[0008] In the valve body mounting structure of the above-mentioned wine dispenser, the connecting plate is U-shaped and sleeved on the outer periphery of the protrusion. In this way, the connecting plate can be easily sleeved on the outer periphery of the protrusion or detached from the protrusion through its own notch, while also allowing the connecting plate to bear the force as a whole, taking into account both connection stability and convenience.

[0009] In the valve body mounting structure of the above-mentioned wine dispenser, the connecting plate is fixed to the housing by a plurality of connecting members that penetrate the housing, and the plurality of connecting members are arranged at intervals around the periphery of the protrusion. This facilitates a more even distribution of the fastening force of the connecting members in the circumferential direction of the protrusion, and avoids structural instability caused by uneven loading of the connecting plate.

[0010] In the valve body mounting structure of the above-mentioned dispensing device, the valve body includes two opposing half-valve bodies, a first half and a second half. The protruding portion is located on the second half-valve body. The mounting structure also includes a connecting plate two and a connecting plate three arranged at intervals along the mating direction of the first and second half-valve bodies. The opposite sides of the connecting plate two and the connecting plate three abut against the first and second half-valve bodies, respectively. The connecting plate two and the connecting plate three are detachable and fixedly connected. The separate design of the first and second half-valve bodies facilitates convenient internal cleaning during maintenance. The connecting plate two and the connecting plate three form a clamping connection along the mating direction of the first and second half-valve bodies, achieving a fixed connection between the first and second half-valve bodies without the need for threads on them, thus avoiding damage to the valve body during disassembly.

[0011] In the valve body mounting structure of the above-mentioned wine dispenser, the second connecting plate is fixedly connected to the third connecting plate via a connecting piece two that penetrates the third connecting plate. This additional connecting piece two, used to fix the second and third connecting plates, helps to simplify their structure as much as possible and control component costs.

[0012] In the valve body mounting structure of the above-mentioned wine dispenser, the second connector penetrates both the first and second half-valve bodies. This allows the second connector to constrain the relative positions of the first and second half-valve bodies, ensuring the stability of their connection.

[0013] In the valve body mounting structure of the above-mentioned wine dispenser, the mounting bracket has a protruding positioning protrusion, and the connecting plate three has a positioning hole. The mounting plate three is fixed to the mounting bracket by a connecting piece three, and the positioning protrusion is positioned and inserted into the positioning hole. In this way, the valve body and the mounting bracket can be fixed by the connecting plate three, and the positioning protrusion can provide auxiliary positioning. During disassembly and assembly, it is easy to quickly and accurately align the connecting plate three with the mounting bracket, thereby making the connecting piece three easy to install.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] The valve body mounting structure of this dispensing device achieves the positioning of the valve body extension by fixing the housing to the connecting plate. The connecting plate is easy to disassemble and has screw holes, so there is no need to set screw holes on the valve body. Even if the threads are damaged due to disassembly during cleaning and maintenance, only the connecting plate needs to be replaced, which helps to ensure the long-term installation stability of the valve body at low cost.
