Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beer barrel protection technology, specifically to a barrel body protection structure for beer barrels. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic beer kegs, used as storage containers for alcoholic beverages, are filled with high-purity nitrogen or carbon dioxide and come with a certain pressure at the factory, effectively ensuring the freshness and unique taste of the drinks. However, during transportation, handling, and use, beer kegs inevitably suffer from bumps, drops from heights, and even punctures, which can easily cause them to burst, resulting in personal injury and property damage. Therefore, protective structures for the kegs are an indispensable component, their core function being to protect the keg and ensure its own secure connection.

[0003] Existing beer keg protection technologies typically employ shoulder guards and bases to protect the keg's shoulder and bottom respectively, with the shoulder guards and handles connected only by a snap-fit ​​mechanism, lacking any reinforcing or securing components. This structure has significant drawbacks: firstly, it has a low stress limit, making it prone to handle and shoulder detachment, component deformation, and protection failure when applied to large-capacity beer kegs due to insufficient pressure bearing capacity; secondly, it suffers from poor connection stability, easily loosening the snap-fit ​​mechanism during frequent handling or bumpy transportation, further reducing the reliability of the protection and limiting its application in large-capacity beer kegs.

[0004] Therefore, developing a robust, high-strength, and widely adaptable barrel protection structure for beer kegs has become an urgent need to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and improve the safety of beer keg use. Utility Model Content

[0038] The present invention will be described in detail below through specific embodiments to enable a better understanding of the present invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] This embodiment discloses a barrel protection structure for beer kegs.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment includes a barrel handle 1, a barrel protective cover 2, a barrel base 3, and a barrel body 4. These four components work together to provide all-around protection and stable assembly for the barrel. The specific structure is as follows:

[0042] (I) Core protective components: barrel handle 1

[0043] The barrel handle 1 serves as both a convenient handling component and a top protective structure, its design balancing practicality and connection strength.

[0044] Main structure: The top of the barrel handle 1 is a wave-shaped ring 11. The wave-shaped design is ergonomic and easy for people to lift. At the same time, the wave-shaped ring 11 is evenly provided with several grooves 111, which not only reduces the overall weight of the handle, but also increases the friction when lifting to prevent slipping. The bottom of the handle is evenly provided with no less than four support feet 12. The number of support feet 12 is preferably four to ensure balanced force. The inside of the support feet 12 is hollowed out, which reduces weight without affecting the structural strength.

[0045] Connection and fixing structure: Adjacent support feet 12 are connected by connecting pieces 13 to improve the overall rigidity of the handle and prevent individual support feet 12 from deforming under force; the barrel handle 1 has a fixing ring 14 in the center, which is integrally connected and fixed with the connecting piece 13 and the support feet 12. The fixing ring 14 is tightly fixed with the bottle mouth of the barrel body 4 to achieve a stable assembly of the handle and the barrel body.

[0046] Matching structure: The outer side of the support leg 12 is provided with a concave flat plate 122 and the inner side is provided with a convex flat plate 123. Both of them are in contact with the bottom surface of the nail head of the first pin 5, which solves the problem that the outer surface of the support leg 12 is round and does not fit with the plane of the nail head of the pin, and ensures that the force is even after the pin is fixed; the two sides of the support leg 12 are provided with through first pin holes 121, which provide an installation base for subsequent pin connection with the barrel body protective cover 2.

[0047] (II) Core of Barrel Protection: Barrel Protective Cover 2

[0048] The barrel protective cover 2 is a cylindrical structure that wraps around the outside of the barrel body 4. It is a key component for protecting the barrel body. Its top is connected to the barrel handle 1, and its bottom is connected to the barrel base 3.

[0049] Top connection structure: The top of the barrel protective cover 2 is evenly provided with no less than four support columns 21 (matching the number of support feet 12). A retaining plate 212 is provided on the outside of the support column 21, and the inside of the retaining plate 212 is an extension 213 of the support column 21, forming a groove 214 between them. The concave flat plate 122 of the barrel handle 1 is precisely fixed in the groove 214, achieving precise interlocking positioning of the support feet 12 and the support column 21. Three reinforcing ribs 215 are provided inside the extension 213, significantly improving the structural strength and stress limit of the support column 21. Second through pin holes 211 are provided on both sides of the support column 21, concentrically engaging with the first pin holes 121 of the support feet 12. The first pin 5 passes through the first pin hole 121 and the second pin hole 211, firmly fixing the support feet 12 and the support column 21, further strengthening the connection based on the interlocking structure and preventing detachment.

[0050] Bottom connection structure: The bottom of the barrel protective cover 2 is evenly provided with several inserts 22, and the inserts 22 are provided with a third pin hole 221, which is used to connect with the socket 31 of the barrel base 3 to fix the protective cover to the base.

[0051] (III) Bottom Support and Protection: Barrel Base 3

[0052] The barrel base 3 serves as a support component for the beer barrel, ensuring its stability and protecting the bottom from damage.

[0053] Main functions: The beer barrel base 3 allows the beer barrel to be placed stably on the ground and supports stacking of three or more layers, saving storage space; the base is made of high-strength plastic, which can effectively resist puncture by sharp objects and impact from falling from a height, protecting the bottom of the beer barrel.

[0054] Connection Structure: The top of the barrel base 3 is evenly provided with several sockets 31 (matching the number of inserts 22). Each socket 31 has a through fourth pin hole 311. The second pin 6 passes through the third pin hole 221 and the fourth pin hole 311, fixing the inserts 22 of the barrel body protective cover 2 to the sockets 31 of the base, ensuring a stable connection. The inner top of the socket 31 is provided with a limiting protrusion 312, which abuts against the bottom of the barrel body 4 to position the barrel body 4 and prevent the barrel from shaking inside the base.

[0055] (iv) Assembly Relationship

[0056] The barrel body 4 is completely enclosed inside the barrel handle 1, the barrel body protective cover 2, and the barrel base 3, forming all-round protection: the barrel handle 1 is fixed to the bottle mouth of the barrel body 4 by a fixing ring 14, and the support foot 12 is connected to the support column 21 at the top of the barrel body protective cover 2 and fixed by the first pin 5; the insert 22 at the bottom of the barrel body protective cover 2 is connected to the socket 31 of the barrel base 3 and fixed by the second pin 6; the three work together to form a closed protective space, which not only resists external impact, but also prevents itself from falling off through a high-strength connection structure, ensuring the safety of the barrel.

[0057] Device assembly

[0058] Barrel body 4 forming: The barrel body 4 is formed by heating and softening the preform in a heating machine, placing it into a barrel blow molding die, and inflating it with air pressure to expand it to the surface of the mold cavity, thus forming the desired barrel body 4.

[0059] Barrel base 3 installation: Align the bottom of the formed barrel body 4 with the center of the barrel base 3 and slowly place it into the base so that the bottom of the barrel body 4 abuts against the limiting protrusion 312 of the base, completing the initial assembly of the base and barrel body.

[0060] Assembly of barrel body protective cover 2: Slide the barrel body protective cover 2 onto the top of the barrel body 4, align the insert 22 at the bottom of the protective cover with the socket 31 at the top of the barrel base 3, and insert it until the bottom of the insert 22 fits against the bottom of the socket 31; pass the second pin 6 through the third pin hole 221 of the insert 22 and the fourth pin hole 311 of the socket 31 to achieve a fixed connection between the protective cover and the base.

[0061] Installation of barrel handle 1: Align the fixing ring 14 of barrel handle 1 with the bottle mouth of barrel body 4, and secure it firmly after fitting it in; adjust the position of the handle so that the support foot 12 at the bottom of the handle is aligned with the support column 21 at the top of the barrel body protective cover 2, and insert the concave plate 122 of the support foot 12 into the slot 214 of the support column 21, ensuring that the first pin hole 121 of the support foot 12 is concentric with the second pin hole 211 of the support column 21; pass the first pin 5 through the first pin hole 121 and the second pin hole 211 to complete the fixed connection between the handle and the protective cover, and the overall assembly is completed.

[0062] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above, but they are merely examples, and this utility model is not equivalent to the specific embodiments described above. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent modifications and substitutions to this utility model are also within the scope of this utility model.
