[0030] Based on this, this application provides an automatic wine dispensing device.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the automatic wine dispensing device provided in this application includes:

[0032] Mounting base 1, which has a slot 11 for engaging with a wine vat, and an adjusting block 3 at the bottom of the mounting base 1. The adjusting block 3 is threadedly connected to the mounting base 1, and the connection between the adjusting block 3 and the mounting base 1 is an inclined surface. Rotating the adjusting block 3 can cause the adjusting block 3 to press against the mounting base 1 to change the size of the slot 11. The adjusting block 3 also has a wine inlet tube 31.

[0033] The alcohol suction head 2 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 1. The alcohol suction head 2 is provided with an outlet pipe 21, which is connected to the inlet pipe 31. A pressure pump 23 is provided between the outlet pipe 21 and the inlet pipe 31, and the pressure pump 23 is fixed in the alcohol suction head 2.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting base 1 serves as the base of the automatic wine dispensing device, used for connection and installation with the wine vat, and also provides support for the installation of the suction head 2. It should be noted that the mounting base 1 of this application is made of a material with elastic deformation capabilities, such as rubber. The adjusting block 3 is made of a rigid material, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the adjusting block 3. One end of the wine inlet tube 31 is directly engaged in the through hole, and the other end of the wine inlet tube 31 can extend into the wine vat so that the suction head 2 can suck out the wine stored in the vat through the wine inlet tube 31.

[0035] In practical applications, the suction head 2 can also be equipped with a power supply battery to power the pressure pump 23, enabling the pressure pump 23 to operate normally. In another embodiment, the suction head 2 can also be connected to mains power to enable the pressure pump 23 to operate normally.

[0036] In a more specific embodiment, the alcohol suction head 2 is also provided with a three-way valve 22, which has a first interface, a second interface and a third interface. The first interface is connected to the alcohol inlet pipe 31, the second interface is connected to the pressure pump 23, and the third interface is connected to the alcohol outlet pipe 21.

[0037] When the pressure pump 23 is working, it introduces the wine in the wine tank into the three-way valve 22, and makes the wine flow from the third port of the three-way valve 22 to the wine outlet pipe 21, and then discharges it through the wine outlet pipe 21.

[0038] The aforementioned automatic wine dispensing device includes a mounting base 1 and a wine suction head 2. The mounting base 1 has a slot 11 for engaging with a wine vat. An adjusting block 3 is located at the bottom of the mounting base 1, threadedly connected to the mounting base 1, with the connection point being an inclined surface. Rotating the adjusting block 3 allows it to press against the mounting base 1, changing the size of the slot 11. The adjusting block 3 also includes a wine inlet pipe 31. The wine suction head 2 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 1 and has a wine outlet pipe 21 connected to the wine inlet pipe 31. A pressure pump 23 is installed between the wine outlet pipe 21 and the wine inlet pipe 31, and is fixed within the wine suction head 2. This device automatically dispenses wine from the vat using the pressure pump 23, overcoming the limitations of manual wine measurement and significantly improving dispensing efficiency. During use, the mounting base 1 is snapped into the mouth of the wine vat by the slot 11, and the size of the slot 11 can be changed by the knob adjustment block 3, so that the device can be installed on wine vats with different mouth thicknesses, and has a wide range of applications.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the alcohol suction head 2 is further provided with a flow meter 26, which is disposed on the alcohol outlet pipe 21.

[0040] The flow meter 26 is used to measure the flow rate of wine flowing through the wine outlet pipe 21 so as to measure the quantity of wine dispensed. The flow meter 26 in this application can be any one of a volumetric flow meter 26, an electromagnetic flow meter 26, or a differential pressure flow meter 26.

[0041] Furthermore, the alcohol suction head 2 includes a housing, in which the pressure pump 23 and the alcohol outlet pipe 21 are disposed, and the housing also includes a connector 24; the connector 24 is provided with an inlet end and an outlet end, the outlet end of the connector 24 is connected to the inlet of the pressure pump 23, and the inlet end of the connector 24 is engaged with the end of the alcohol inlet pipe 31.

[0042] The inlet end of the connector 24 in this application is press-fitted with the wine inlet pipe 31, and the connector 24 has a certain elastic deformation capability. When the wine suction head 2 is installed on the mounting base 1, the end of the wine inlet pipe 31 is directly snapped into the inlet end of the connector 24 to achieve a sealed connection. The fit between the inlet end of the connector 24 and the end of the wine inlet pipe 31 can prevent wine leakage at the connection point and ensure normal wine output from the device.

[0043] This application also provides a method for cooperating the mounting base 1 and the alcohol suction head 2. Specifically, the top of the mounting base 1 is provided with a threaded connecting pipe 12, and the bottom of the alcohol suction head 2 is provided with a threaded connecting groove 25. The threaded connecting pipe 12 and the threaded connecting groove 25 are mutually adapted, and the alcohol suction head 2 is fixed on the mounting base 1 through the mutual cooperation of the threaded connecting groove 25 and the threaded connecting pipe 12.

[0044] The alcohol suction head 2 is threadedly connected to the mounting base 1, which makes installation convenient and helps reduce the cost of later maintenance and replacement.

[0045] More preferably, the mounting base 1 is also provided with a clamp 4, which is arranged in a ring on the outer wall of the slot 11.

[0046] Furthermore, the clamp 4 is provided with a tightening screw 41. Tightening the tightening screw 41 can change the size of the clamp 4, thereby changing the force exerted by the clamp 4 on the outer wall of the slot 11.

[0047] The clamp 4 and the adjusting block 3 work together to restrict the slot 11 from two directions. In specific applications, the adjusting block 3 and the clamp 4 apply force to the slot 11 from both inside and outside directions, so that the slot 11 can be connected with the wine vat when it is installed at the mouth of the wine vat. This not only ensures the stable installation of the wine dispensing device, but also improves the sealing between the mounting base 1 and the wine vat, reducing the amount of air entering the wine vat and affecting the quality of the wine stored in the vat.

[0048] More preferably, the alcohol suction head 2 is provided with a display screen 27 and a controller 28, and the display screen 27 and the pressure pump 23 are both electrically connected to the controller 28.

[0049] The display screen 27 can show a QR code and the amount of wine dispensed. During use, consumers can purchase wine by scanning the QR code on the display screen 27. After receiving the consumer's request, the controller 28 controls the pressure pump 23 to start, causing the wine dispensing device to automatically dispense wine. The flow meter 26 can detect the amount of wine dispensed. Once the amount of wine dispensed reaches the consumer's demand, the controller 28 controls the pressure pump 23 to stop, and the wine dispensing is complete.

[0050] A wine vat with the aforementioned automatic dispensing device is also provided. The vat includes a body with an opening, from which the automatic dispensing device is installed. This wine vat has a novel structure and, when used for storing wine, enables automatic dispensing, helping to save on labor costs when selling wine.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the chiller unit 4 of this application provides chilled water at 2°C-6°C to the spray pipe 2, and the chilled water flowing out of the outlet of the chiller unit 4 is pressurized by the pressure pump 3 and sent to the spray pipe 2, so that the chilled water is sprayed out from the atomizing nozzle 21. The atomizing nozzle 21 of this application is a high-pressure atomizing nozzle 21.
