DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] To prevent the beverage urn faucet from being blocked, the film (for example, the milk skin formed after the milk is left for a long time) formed after the beverage is left for a long time is separated from the beverage liquid by arranging the isolating cover, so that the film is prevented from being sucked into the faucet, and the fragments formed after the film is damaged by the suction force are prevented from entering the faucet to cause blockage. At the same time, the siphon effect of the isolating cover on the beverage can greatly reduce the beverage residue and greatly reduce the waste of the beverage.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 The beverage urn's structure cross-sectional view is described in the utility model; Figure 2 The cross-sectional view of the faucet assembly when the water inlet channel is obliquely arranged; Figure 3 The axial view of the isolating cover is described; Figure 4 The cross-sectional view of the isolating cover is described.

[0027] The utility model discloses a beverage urn, which can be used for containing beverages that will form a film 7 on the surface of the liquid after being left for a period of time, for example, milk that will form a milk skin on the surface after being left. The beverage urn comprises a barrel body 1 and a faucet assembly, and the faucet assembly comprises a faucet body 2, a switch 3, a valve plug 4 and an isolating cover 5. The inner cavity of the barrel body 1 is used for containing beverages, and a mounting hole is formed in the barrel body 1 and communicates with the inner cavity, which is used for mounting the faucet body 2. The bottom surface of the inner cavity is a plane, and the middle part of the bottom surface is upwardly protruding, so that a water collecting groove 11 is formed on the outer periphery of the bottom surface close to the barrel wall.

[0028] The faucet body 2 is an integral structure, comprising a water inlet portion 21, a water outlet portion 22 and a mounting portion 23. The mounting portion 23 penetrates into the inner cavity of the barrel body 1 through the mounting hole, and is locked to the barrel body 1 through a connecting piece. The inner side of the mounting portion 23 is provided with a water inlet cavity 231 communicating with the inner cavity, and the outer periphery of the mounting portion 23 is provided with an abutting boss 232. The structure of the connecting piece can be various, and in the embodiment, it comprises a nut 61 and a gasket 62. The nut 61 is threadedly connected with the mounting portion 23, and in use, the nut 61 is arranged in the inner cavity, and the gasket 62 is arranged outside the barrel body 1. By rotating the nut 61 to move it towards the abutting boss 232, the side wall of the barrel body 1 and the gasket 62 sleeved on the mounting portion 23 are pressed towards the abutting boss 232, so that the fixing of the faucet and the sealing of the mounting hole are realized.

[0029] The water inlet portion 21 is provided at one end away from the barrel body 1, and the inner side of the water inlet portion 21 is provided with a water inlet passage 211 communicating with the water inlet cavity 231. The water inlet passage 211 can extend in the horizontal direction, and preferably, it can also extend downwardly away from the barrel body 1, so as to improve the siphon capacity by increasing the water level difference. The angle a of the inclined portion is preferably 10 degrees.

[0030] The water outlet portion 22 is arranged at one end away from the mounting portion 23 of the water inlet portion 21, and the inner side of the water outlet portion 22 is provided with a water outlet passage 221 extending downwardly, so as to form a water outlet at the bottom end of the water outlet portion 22. The switch 3 drives the valve plug 4 to slide or rotate, so as to control the water outlet passage 221 and the water inlet passage 211 to switch between the two states of mutual communication and mutual isolation, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the faucet.

[0031] The isolation cover 5 comprises a cover body 51, a mounting boss 52 and a sealing ring 53. The edges of the outer side of the cover body 51 are rounded to avoid piercing the film 7. The mounting boss 52 is arranged on the side wall of the cover body 51, and the extending direction of the mounting boss 52 is the same as the extending direction of the water inlet cavity 231, so that when mounted, the mounting boss 52 can be inserted into the water inlet cavity 231. In order to improve the sealing effect of the connection, the outer periphery of the mounting boss 52 is provided with a mounting groove 521, and the sealing ring 53 is sleeved in the mounting groove 521 and abuts against the inner wall of the water inlet cavity 231 when the mounting boss 52 is inserted into the water inlet portion 21, so as to realize the sealing between the mounting boss 52 and the mounting portion 23 and prevent liquid leakage. The inner side of the mounting boss 52 is provided with a water passage hole 522.

[0032] In the industry, in order to reduce the beverage residue, the mounting hole is usually arranged in the area close to the side wall of the barrel body and close to the bottom of the barrel body. However, due to structural limitations, there is still a certain distance between the faucet and the bottom of the barrel body. When the liquid surface of the beverage is lower than the faucet, the beverage cannot flow out, so the part of the beverage residue cannot be used and is poured, causing waste.

[0033] Therefore, the isolation cover 5 also forms a siphon effect on the beverage, reducing the waste of the beverage. The inside of the cover body 51 is provided with a siphon chamber 511 communicating with the water inlet chamber 231 through a water passing hole 522. The siphon chamber 511 forms a water inlet 512 at one end of the cover body 51 facing the bottom surface of the inner chamber. The water inlet 512 corresponds to the water collecting groove 11 and is spaced from the groove bottom by a gap for liquid flow. The gap should be as narrow as possible while ensuring that the liquid can pass through, so that the residual amount of beverage is as small as possible. In the vertical direction, the height of the plane where the water inlet 512 of the cover body 51 is located should be higher than the height of the plane where the faucet water outlet is located, and the height difference h can ensure that the siphon effect can be achieved.

[0034] To avoid rotation of the isolation cover 5 during use, causing the siphon and isolation functions to fail, the bottom of the cover body 51 is also provided with a limiting boss 54, which is preferably two, and abuts against the groove bottom of the water collecting groove 11, thereby preventing the isolation cover 5 from rotating.

[0035] When the beverage liquid level in the bucket body 1 is higher than the water inlet 512 during use, if the faucet is opened, the height difference between the water outlet and the liquid level will generate a siphon effect, causing the beverage in the bucket body 1 to flow out of the water outlet after passing through the water inlet 512, the siphon chamber 511, the water inlet passage, the water inlet passage 211 and the water outlet passage 221 under the action of the siphon effect. After experiments, the residual amount of beverage after using this structure is only about 10% of the residual amount of beverage in existing products, and the residual beverage is usually not usable and can only be poured, so this structure can greatly reduce the waste of beverage and is more in line with the current concept of saving.

[0036] In this process, the liquid level continuously decreases, and the film 7 on the surface of the liquid level also decreases with the liquid level. When the liquid level is lower than the top of the isolation cover 5, the liquid level continues to decrease, and the film 7 corresponding to the side of the isolation cover 5 is hung on the isolation cover 5, thereby preventing the film 7 from contacting the water inlet 512 and preventing the film 7 from entering the faucet and causing blockage.

[0037] The faucet and beverage kettle prevent the film from blocking the faucet, reduce labor costs and cleaning and maintenance frequency. At the same time, the isolation cover also forms a siphon effect on the beverage, greatly reducing the residual amount of beverage and reducing food waste.
