Description

Multifunctional aerating devices, multifunctional wine pumps, and multifunctional wine accessories

[0001] The present invention relates to an aeration device, and more particularly, to an aeration device having a preserver and a stopper function.

[0002] In addition, the present invention relates to a multifunctional wine pump and a multifunctional wine accessory, and more particularly, to a multifunctional wine pump that can be used at the inlet of a packaged wine bottle and has functions as a wine cutter, opener, aerator, pump, stopper, and preserver, thereby facilitating the opening, consumption, and storage of wine as a single product.

[0003] Typically, wine matures very slowly during storage due to the minute amounts of oxygen that enters through the tiny crevices of the cork. Over a long aging process, wine develops sediment. While most of this sediment is filtered out during the bottling process, some may remain. Therefore, the process of filtering the sediment from the wine in the bottle is called decanting, and the device used for this process is called a decanter. By using a decanter, you can enjoy a cleaner, less unpleasant wine. Furthermore, the decanter exposes the wine to air for a certain period of time, a process called aeration. This aeration process allows you to enjoy more mature, high-quality wine. In other words, exposing a wine that has been sufficiently aged for a long time to oxygen in the air using a decanter, or aeration, can enhance the wine's aromas and soften its flavor.

[0004] A wine decanter that attaches to a wine bottle allows the wine to be poured from the bottle while simultaneously decanting, making decanting easier. During the decanting process using a wine decanter, the wine naturally experiences significant exposure to air, aerating the wine and resulting in a more flavorful wine.

[0005] Meanwhile, once opened, wine is easily oxidized by the air entering the bottle, making it difficult to preserve. One method for preserving opened wine is to inject nitrogen or argon into the bottle to expel the oxygen inside. Another method is to use a vacuum pump to expel the air inside the wine bottle.

[0006] Traditionally, wine aerating devices to expose wine to oxygen, wine preservers to preserve opened wine, and stoppers to block wine in bottles from the outside have been used as individual accessories.

[0007] Typically, wine ages slowly over a long period of time as oxygen enters the wine bottle through the gaps in the cork. After a certain period of aging is complete, the wine goes through a sealing process that wraps the cork and the opening of the wine bottle before being released for sale.

[0008] When purchasing these wines, the buyer cuts the seal that wraps the opening of the wine bottle with plastic or something similar and removes the cork. Afterwards, the wine goes through an aeration process to improve the taste of the wine, and the wine is consumed after it has been sufficiently aged. When storing the wine with remaining wine, the opening of the wine bottle is blocked as much as possible to prevent further oxygen from entering from the outside, and through this, the remaining wine is prevented from oxidizing quickly, so as to maintain the same aroma and taste as much as possible.

[0009] In the past, a cutter to remove the seal surrounding the wine opening for opening, consuming, and storing wine, an opener to open the wine by removing the cork from the wine bottle, a wine aerating device to help the aeration process so that the wine can be enjoyed in a more mature state by exposing it to air for a certain period of time when consuming the wine, a wine preserver to preserve opened wine, and a stopper to block the remaining wine in the wine bottle from the outside have all been sold as individual accessories.

[0010] However, if there are many accessories to enjoy wine, there is concern that it is difficult to store and manage them, and especially for beginners, they may not be fully aware of the functions of each accessory or may have difficulty using it properly.

[0011] In addition, because the method of use and configuration are each done individually and the size is also small, there is a concern that the user may lose it, and there is also the inconvenience of having to figure out how to use the aerating device to perform the aerating task, and there is even a concern that if you miss this and drink the wine, it may be difficult to enjoy the wine to the fullest.

[0012] The technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a multi-functional aerating device having both the functions of a wine preserver for preserving opened wine and a stopper for blocking the wine inside the bottle from the outside.

[0013] In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a multifunctional wine pump and multifunctional wine accessory that can be used at the inlet of packaged wine and has functions as a wine cutter, opener, aerator, pump, stopper and preserver, thereby facilitating the opening, consumption and storage of wine as a single product.

[0014] In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a multi-functional wine pump and multi-functional wine accessory that can manage multiple wine accessories used for opening, consuming, and storing wine as a single all-in-one device, so that storage is easy, can be applied to wine bottles safely and hygienically, is simple and easy to use, and can be easily combined and separated into each component as needed, and can be placed on the ground so that it can be stored and displayed at the same time.

[0015] In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to provide a multi-functional wine pump and multi-functional wine accessory that can be easily used even by beginners or users with weak grip strength by simply removing the cork and easily discharging the internal air to the outside after being attached to the inlet of a wine bottle, and can prevent external foreign substances from flowing back into the wine bottle when discharging the internal air.

[0016] The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the problems mentioned above, and other problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description below.

[0017] As a means for achieving the above technical task, one embodiment of the present invention can provide an aerating device installed at the inlet of a bottle containing liquid and having a multi-function. The multi-function aerating device includes a fluid movement channel unit having a fluid movement channel and configured such that a portion thereof is inserted into the inlet of the bottle; and a discharge control unit coupled to the fluid movement channel unit and having a flow path communicating with the fluid movement channel and a discharge port for discharging liquid, wherein the discharge control unit can function as an aerator that contacts liquid flowing out of the bottle with air in a first state and function as a stopper that blocks discharge of the liquid in a second state.

[0018] The above discharge control unit may function as a preserver configured to discharge air inside the bottle to the outside when coupled with the pump in the second state.

[0022] The above discharge control unit may include a chamber portion rotatably received in a part of the fluid movement channel unit and having a fluid flow space in which fluid flows; a fluid pipe portion communicating with the fluid flow space in the chamber portion and having a Venturi shape with a changing diameter; and a sealing control portion including an elastic material, coupled to a pump to discharge air, and maintaining a seal inside the bottle when the inside of the bottle is depressurized.

[0023] The chamber portion may further include a through pipe portion forming a fluid movement channel for discharging air inside the bottle; and a valve seat formed at an end of the through pipe portion and configured to be in close contact with the sealing control portion to maintain an airtight seal inside the bottle.

[0024] The above discharge control unit includes one or more engaging protrusions, and the fluid movement channel unit includes one or more engaging grooves formed at positions corresponding to the engaging protrusions, and the discharge control unit rotates around the engaging protrusions as a rotation axis, thereby enabling state switching between a first state and a second state.

[0025] The chamber portion may further include an air inlet through which external air is introduced into the chamber portion; and a liquid inlet through which liquid in the bottle is introduced into the chamber portion through the fluid movement channel unit.

[0026] As a means for solving the above-described problem, a multifunctional wine pump according to the disclosure of the present invention may include an open frame for partially penetrating and moving the stopper of the bottle inlet to separate the stopper from the bottle inlet; a pump frame coupled with the open frame for discharging air inside the bottle to the outside; and a cutter frame coupled with the open frame for removing the seal of the bottle inlet.

[0027] The cutter frame is configured to remove the seal by rotating a portion of the bottle inlet on one side, and a screw for penetrating the stopper is formed protrudingly in the open frame, and when the open frame is coupled to the bottle inlet, the screw is rotated to penetrate and move the stopper, and the pump frame can discharge the air inside the bottle to the outside through an up-and-down pumping motion.

[0028] The cutter frame is installed at the lower inside of the open frame and includes an insertion hole into which a portion of a bottle inlet is inserted at the center inside; an inlet hole that is formed sunken at one side of the lower side and is connected to the inside of the insertion hole; and a cutter formed inside the inlet hole, and can remove the seal by rotating along the bottle inlet inserted into the inlet hole.

[0029] The above open frame has a cylindrical shape, and the open frame may include an open hole in which the screw is positioned at the inner center and the upper part of the bottle mouth is inserted into the inside; and a confirmation hole that is formed to be open so that the movement status of the screw and the stopper can be confirmed from the outside and communicates with the inside of the open hole.

[0030] The pump frame includes an outer frame positioned at the top of the open frame and moving up and down; and an inner frame positioned inside the outer frame and communicating with the open frame, a gap is formed between the inner surface of the outer frame and the outer surface of the inner frame, and a packing member may be formed at an end of the inner frame to communicate the gap with the outside in a first state and to seal the gap between the outer frame and the inner frame in a second state, thereby blocking communication between the gap and the outside.

[0031] On one side of the inner surface of the outer frame, a rail projection is formed that protrudes in the longitudinal direction, and on the outer surface of the inner frame, a rail groove is formed that is sunken in with a shape corresponding to the rail projection, and the outer frame can move up and down along the extension direction of the inner frame with the rail projection fitted into the inner side of the rail groove.

[0032] The packing member is coupled to one end of the inner frame and has a truncated cone shape. When the distance between one end of the inner frame and the bottle inlet increases, the packing member seals the gap between the outer frame and the inner frame, and air inside the bottle moves into the multifunctional wine pump. When the distance between one end of the inner frame and the bottle inlet decreases, the packing member is spaced apart from the inner surface of the outer frame, and air can be discharged through the gap between the outer frame and the packing member.

[0067] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0068] FIG. 1a is a drawing showing a first state of a multifunctional airing device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2b is a drawing showing a second state of a multifunctional arraying device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] The multi-functional aerating device (1: hereinafter referred to as the “aerating device”) of the present embodiment is an aerating device that is installed at the entrance of a bottle containing liquid and has the functions of a stopper and a preserver. The aerating device (1) ensures that liquid is poured smoothly when the bottle is tilted and increases the contact area and time with air, thereby improving the aerating effect. In addition, the aerating device (1) can also function as a stopper, such as a cork that connects or closes the inside and outside of the bottle when combined with the bottle. In addition, the aerating device (10), when combined with an air pump, can function as a preserver for preserving the liquid inside the bottle by sealing the bottle in a state where the air inside the bottle is discharged by the air pump. The aerating device (1) is installed and used at the entrance of a bottle containing liquid, and can be used, for example, in a state combined with the entrance of a wine bottle.

[0070] The aerating device (1) may include a fluid movement channel unit (11) and a discharge control unit (12). The fluid movement channel unit (11) may be provided with a fluid movement channel and configured to be partially inserted into the inlet of a bottle. The discharge control unit (12) may be configured to be coupled with the fluid movement channel unit (11) and may be provided with a flow path communicating with the fluid movement channel of the fluid movement channel unit (11) and a discharge port for discharging liquid.

[0071] The discharge control unit may function as an aerator that exposes liquid flowing out of the bottle to air in the first state illustrated in FIG. 1A. The discharge control unit may function as a stopper that blocks the discharge of liquid in the second state illustrated in FIG. 1B. The discharge control unit (12) may function as a preserver configured to discharge air inside the bottle to the outside to depressurize the inside of the bottle when coupled with the pump in the second state illustrated in FIG. 1B. State switching between the first and second states may be performed by rotation of the discharge control unit (12).

[0072] The discharge control unit (12) may include a venturi tube for aerating the liquid. In addition, the discharge control unit (12) may include an elastic material for discharging air inside the bottle to the outside in a third state and for maintaining a seal inside the bottle in a fourth state. The detailed configuration of the discharge control unit (12) and the fluid movement channel unit (11) will be described below.

[0073] Fig. 2a is a diagram illustrating the use of a first state of an aeration device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2b is a diagram illustrating the use of a second state of an aeration device (1).

[0074] When the inlet of the bottle is tilted downward in the first state illustrated in Fig. 2a, the liquid inside the bottle can be discharged outside the bottle through the fluid movement channel unit (11) and the discharge control unit (12). A portion of the discharge control unit (12) can be made of a transparent material so that the discharge of the liquid can be visually confirmed.

[0075] In the second state illustrated in Fig. 2b, when an air pump is connected to a portion of the discharge control unit (12) made of an elastic material and the air inside the bottle is extracted by the air pump, the inside of the bottle is depressurized to have a lower pressure than the outside of the bottle. The discharge control unit (12) is configured to maintain the seal inside the bottle in a depressurized state.

[0076] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the configuration of a fluid movement channel unit (11) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0077] The fluid movement channel unit (11) may include a coupling portion (111), a sealing portion (112), an insertion portion (113), and a pipe portion (114).

[0078] The insertion portion (113) has a pipe shape with a diameter that becomes smaller as it goes down so that a portion of it can be inserted into the inlet of the bottle, and can form a liquid movement channel for the liquid inside the bottle to flow.

[0079] The pipe portion (114) is inserted into the inside of the insert portion (113) and can form an air movement channel through which external air moves into the interior of the bottle. The coupling portion (111) is formed to be coupled with a portion of the discharge control unit (12) and can be configured as a portion of an approximately hemispherical shape.

[0080] The sealing portion (112) has a first communication hole (112h1) communicating with the liquid movement channel of the insertion portion (113), and a second communication hole (112h2) communicating with the air movement channel of the pipe portion (114), and may be configured to be in close contact with a portion of the housing of the discharge control unit (12) to maintain airtightness between the portion of the housing of the discharge control unit (12) and the joint portion (111). The sealing portion (112) may include an elastic material such as rubber or silicone to maintain airtightness.

[0081] The coupling portion (111) may have a cut portion (111c) in which a portion of the housing is cut off. The cut portion (111c) may facilitate coupling of the fluid movement channel unit (11) and the discharge control unit (12) even when there is a gap when the fluid movement channel unit (11) and the discharge control unit (12) are coupled. The coupling portion (111) may include one or more protrusions protruding from the inner wall surface of the housing. The protrusions may facilitate rotation of the discharge control unit (12) when the discharge control unit (12) is coupled to the fluid movement channel unit (11).

[0082] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of an emission control unit (11) in a first state according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of an emission control unit (11) in a second state according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 6a is an exploded perspective view of an emission control unit (11) viewed from above. Fig. 6b is an exploded perspective view of an emission control unit (11) viewed from below.

[0083] The detailed configuration of the discharge control unit (11) is described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6b.

[0084] The discharge control unit may include a fluid pipe section (121), a chamber section (122), and a sealing control section (123).

[0085] The chamber portion (122) may be rotatably accommodated in the coupling portion (111) of the fluid movement channel unit (11) and may have a fluid flow space in which fluid flows therein. The fluid pipe portion (121) may be in communication with the fluid flow space in the chamber portion (122) and may have a Venturi shape with a changing diameter. The sealing control portion (123) may include an elastic material such as rubber or silicone, be coupled with a pump to discharge air, and be configured to maintain the seal inside the bottle when the inside of the bottle is depressurized.

[0086] The chamber portion (122) may further include a through pipe portion (122p) and a valve seat (122s). The through pipe portion (122p) may be configured to form a fluid movement channel for discharging air inside the bottle. A valve seat (122s) may be provided at an upper end of the through pipe portion (122p). A lower end of the through pipe portion (122p) may be configured to pass through a through hole (122h) provided at a lower end of the chamber portion (122). The valve seat (122s) formed at the upper end of the through pipe portion (122p) may be configured to be in close contact with the sealing control portion (123) to maintain an airtight seal inside the bottle.

[0087] The chamber portion (122) may further include an air inlet (122fh) and a liquid inlet (122ah). The air inlet (122ah) may be configured to allow external air to flow into the chamber portion (122), and the liquid inlet (122fh) may be configured to allow liquid in the bottle to flow into the chamber portion (122) through the fluid movement channel unit (11).

[0088] A chamber plate (122q) may be provided near the liquid inlet (122fh) of the chamber portion (122). When liquid flows out through the liquid inlet (122fh) in the first state, the aeration effect may be halved if the liquid is directly transferred to the fluid pipe portion (121) through the space of the chamber portion (122). The liquid flowing out from the liquid inlet (122fh) is transferred to the fluid pipe portion (121) along a path flowing along the inner wall of the chamber portion (122) by the chamber plate (122q), thereby maximizing the aeration effect.

[0089] The discharge control unit (12) may include a pair of engaging protrusions (122t: 122t1, 122t2) formed at opposing positions. The fluid movement channel unit (11) may include a pair of engaging grooves (111h) formed at positions corresponding to the engaging protrusions (122t). By rotating the discharge control unit (12) around the pair of engaging protrusions (122t) as a rotation axis, state switching between the first state and the second state can be achieved.

[0090] In another embodiment, one or more engaging protrusions (122t) are provided, the fluid movement channel unit (11) includes one or more engaging grooves (111h) formed at positions corresponding to the engaging protrusions (122t), and the discharge control unit (12) may be configured to rotate in an environment in which it is engaged with the fluid movement channel unit (11). In addition, although the embodiment of the present invention illustrates that the discharge control unit (12) rotates by the engaging protrusions (122t) and the engaging grooves (111h), a configuration in which the discharge control unit (12) rotates by a method other than the engaging protrusions (122t) and the engaging grooves (111h) is also included in the technical concept of the present invention.

[0091] Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the fluid discharge flow in the first state in which the multi-functional aerator device (1) performs the aerating function.

[0092] In the first state, when the inlet of a bottle containing liquid is lowered, the liquid (e.g., wine, etc.) inside the bottle can be discharged through the liquid movement channel of the insertion part (113) into the first communication hole (112h1). In the first state, since the first communication hole (112h1) communicates with the liquid inlet (122fh), the liquid can flow into the chamber part (122) through the liquid inlet (122fh). The liquid discharged through the liquid inlet (122fh) by the chamber plate (122q) inside the chamber part (122) does not directly flow into the fluid pipe part (121), but flows along the inner wall surface of the chamber part (122) and then flows into the fluid pipe part (121). The introduced liquid can be discharged to the outside through the fluid pipe part (121) having a venturi tube shape. The flow rate of the liquid increases in the narrow diameter portion of the fluid pipe section (212) in the shape of a venturi tube, and aeration of the liquid can be performed by contact with air (oxygen).

[0093] Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the air discharge flow in a second state in which the multi-functional aerator device (1) performs the stopper and preserver functions.

[0094] In the second state illustrated in Fig. 8, when a pumping operation is performed through an air pump on the upper portion of the sealing control unit (123), air inside the bottle can be introduced into the through pipe unit (122p) inside the chamber unit (122) through the first communication hole (112h1) and the through hole (122h) through the air movement channel inside the insertion unit (113). The air flow inside the through pipe unit (122p) can be discharged to the outside through the gap between the valve seat (122s) and the sealing control unit (123). When the air inside the bottle is discharged to the outside, the inside of the bottle has a lower air pressure than the outside. In this case, a force is applied from the outside of the sealing control unit (123) toward the inside of the bottle, and the sealing control unit (123) can be brought into close contact with the valve seat (122s), thereby sealing the space between the sealing control unit (123) and the valve seat (122s). When the housing of the sealing control unit (123) is moved to the left or right in a sealed state by depressurization, external air can flow in from the gap between the sealing control unit (12) and the valve seat (122s) to release the depressurization state.

[0096] Hereinafter, a multifunctional wine pump and a multifunctional wine accessory will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 15.

[0097] The present invention relates to a multifunctional wine pump and a multifunctional wine accessory, and more particularly, to a multifunctional wine pump and a multifunctional wine accessory that are used at the inlet of a packaged wine and have the functions of a wine cutter, opener, aerator, pump, stopper and preserver, thereby facilitating the opening, consumption and storage of wine as a single product.

[0098] These multifunctional wine accessories (2) are composed of a multifunctional wine pump (1000: hereinafter referred to as a “wine pump”) that is combined with a sealed wine bottle inlet and performs cutter, opener and pump functions, and a wine stopper (2000) that can be mounted on the top of the wine pump (1000), has internal connections with each other, can be combined with or separated from the wine pump (1000) as needed, and can perform aerator, stopper and preserver functions.

[0099] A wine pump (1000) may include a cutter frame (1100) for removing a packaging sealed at the entrance of a wine bottle for sale, such as foil or vinyl, an opening frame (1200) coupled to the cutter frame (1100) and communicating with the inside of the cutter frame (1100) so as to separate a cork from the wine entrance where the seal has been cut and open the wine, and a pump frame (1300) in which the insides of the cutter frame (1100) and the opening frame (1200) are connected to each other and perform a pump function that can introduce or discharge air into or out of the inside of a wine bottle through an up-and-down motion.

[0100] The cutter frame (1100), the open frame (1200), and the pump frame (1300) are formed in a cylindrical shape and can be joined together as one piece, and a hole is formed at one end of the wine pump (1000) so that a lower part of the wine stopper (2000) can be inserted and fixed.

[0101] The cutter frame (1100) has a cylindrical shape, but the diameter width at the bottom is formed wider than the diameter width at the top, so that the wine pump (1000) and wine stopper (2000) can be stably placed and fixed on the ground.

[0102] The cutter frame (1100) is open at the top and bottom, but is fitted into the lower inner side of the open frame (1200).

[0103] On the inside of the cutter frame (1100), an opening hole (1220) described later and an insertion hole (1110) positioned vertically so that the insides are connected to each other, a part of the lower end of the screw (1210) is formed on the inside, and on the lower surface of one side of the cutter frame (1100), an inlet hole (1120) having a predetermined width in the upward direction and recessed so that an inlet for wine can be positioned on the inside is formed, and on the inner edge of the inlet hole (1120), a cutter (1130) capable of removing a seal of wine is formed.

[0104] Accordingly, when the sealed wine is placed inside the inlet hole (1120) and the user rotates the wine pump (1000) including the cutter frame (1100), the sealed portion and the cutter (1130) come into contact, and the cutter (1130) can cut the sealed portion. The user can easily grab and tear off the torn seal portion.

[0105] Through these inlet holes (1120) and cutters (1130), it can be applied to various wine inlets, and since only the outer surface of the wine inlet is sealed to remove the seal, and the cutter (1130) is not exposed to the outside, the seal can be safely removed. This is the same not only for wine inlets sealed with foil, but also for cases where a vinyl cover, etc. is sealed under high pressure, by positioning the wine inlet inside the inlet hole (1120) and then rotating it to seal the cutter (1130) and the wine inlet, it is possible to rupture and remove it.

[0106] The open frame (1200) has a cylindrical shape, and is provided with a cutter frame (1100) on the inner side of the lower part, and is connected to the inside of the fitting hole (1110) of the cutter frame (1100) to perform an opener function of removing a cork stopper that closes the wine inlet by combining with it.

[0107] This open frame (1200) has a cylindrical shape, and has a screw (1210) configured to penetrate a cork stopper through one-way rotation on the inside and then separate the wine inlet and the cork stopper through the opposite rotation, and the screw (1210) is provided at the center of the inside, and may include an open hole (1220) that is connected to a fitting hole (1110) on the inside so that a wine inlet including a cork stopper can be positioned on the inside.

[0108] The screw (1210) has a screw shape made of metal used in a wine opener, and the lower part is located in the center of the inner side of the insertion hole (1110) of the cutter frame (1100) so that when a user inserts a wine inlet into the insertion hole (1110), the lower part of the screw (1210) can be tightly coupled with the cork stopper. The upper part of the screw (1210) is fixedly coupled to the inner frame (1320) of the pump frame (1300) described below, so that when a user rotates the wine pump (1000), the screw also rotates along the fixed pump frame (1300) so that the coupled cork stopper can be pulled out of the wine inlet.

[0109] The user can easily rotate the wine pump (1000) through the friction projection (1311) of the outer frame (1310), thereby lifting the wine pump (1000) including the screw (1210) that penetrates the cork stopper, thereby performing the opener function of removing the cork stopper.

[0110] The open hole (1220) is a hollow space formed in the height direction along the inner center of the open frame (1200), and when a cutter frame (1100) is provided on the lower inner side of the open frame (1200), it can be connected to the inside of the fitting hole (1110). A screw (1210) is positioned inside the open hole (1220), and the entrance of the cork stopper can be combined with the screw (1210) inside the open hole (1220).

[0111] The user can utilize an opener function that removes a cork by rotating the wine bottle opening and the wine pump (1000). An inspection hole (1230) is perforated on one front side to allow easy external inspection of whether the cork is properly engaged and secured with the screw (1210) when removed.

[0112] Accordingly, when the wine pump (1000) rotates in one direction, the screw (1210) penetrates the cork stopper inside the wine inlet and is fixedly coupled, and when it rotates in the other direction (in the opposite direction to the one direction), the cork stopper coupled to the screw (1210) moves upward, so that the user can easily separate the cork stopper, i.e., open the wine, by rotating the wine pump (1000) without idling, and can easily check with the naked eye whether the cork stopper is separated or not, i.e., the wine is opened.

[0113] The pump frame (1300) can serve to discharge air (oxygen) inside the wine bottle. The pump frame (1300) can include an outer frame (1310) and an inner frame (1320).

[0114] The outer frame (1310) is provided on the outside and is positioned at the outer upper end of the wine pump (1000), and may be configured to be held and rotated by a user. The inner frame (1320) is provided on the inside of the outer frame (1310), connected to the screw (1210), and configured such that the outer surface is spaced apart from the inner surface of the outer frame (1310) so that air can be injected or discharged through this gap.

[0115] On the upper outer side of the outer frame (1310), a plurality of friction protrusions (1311) are formed at regular intervals so that a user can easily hold them and rotate the wine pump (1000) including the pump frame (1300) through frictional force. Accordingly, by holding and rotating the outer surface of the outer frame (1310) including the friction protrusions (1311), rotation or vertical movement of the pump frame (1300) is possible.

[0116] The inner frame (1320) has the same cylindrical shape as the outer frame (1310), but the outer diameter of the inner frame (1320) is formed smaller than the inner diameter of the outer frame (1310), so that a gap is formed by separation between the inner frame (1320) and the outer frame (1310), and the upper surface of the inner frame (1320) is open so that a wine stopper (2000) can be inserted, and the upper end of a screw (1210) is fixedly connected to the center of the lower surface.

[0117] At this time, a rail groove (1321) is formed along the longitudinal direction on one end of the outer surface of the inner frame (1320), and this rail groove (1321) guides a rail projection (1312) protruding from the inner surface of the outer frame (1310) so that the rail projection (1312) can move along the rail groove (1321) into which the rail projection (1312) is inserted when the outer frame (1310) moves up and down.

[0118] At this time, the protruding length of the rail protrusion (1312) is formed to be longer than the recessed length of the rail groove (1321), and a gap is formed between the inner surface of the outer frame (1310) and the outer surface of the inner frame (1320).

[0119] Accordingly, a gap is created between the upper part of the inner frame (1320) and the upper part of the outer frame (1310), and a packing member (1322) capable of sealing this gap is formed along the outer surface of the upper part of the inner frame (1320).

[0120] The packing member (1322) may have a cone-shaped truncated cone with a slope that gradually widens toward the bottom. When the inner frame (1320) moves to the opposite side of the wine bottle (in the direction of the upward arrow in FIG. 14) and the inner frame (1320) is exposed to the outside, the packing member (1322) adheres closely to the outer surface of the inner frame (1320) to close the gap between the inner surface of the outer frame (1310) and the outer surface of the inner frame (1320), thereby maintaining airtightness. Accordingly, the second communication hole (2122) of the wine stopper (2000) described below is opened through the packing member (1322), and air inside the wine bottle is sucked into the wine stopper (2000) through the second communication hole (2122).

[0121] When the inner frame (1320) moves toward the wine bottle (in the direction of the downward arrow in FIG. 14) and the inner frame (1320) is positioned inside the outer frame (1310), the state in which the packing member (1322) and the inner surface of the outer frame (1310) were in close contact and maintained as an airtight seal is released. When the airtight seal is released, the second communication hole (2122) that was open is closed. Accordingly, the air between the inner surface of the outer frame (1310) and the outer surface of the inner frame (1320) is discharged to the outside through the gap between the packing member (1322) and the outer frame (1310).

[0122] Accordingly, by driving the pump frame (1300) through manpower, the air remaining inside the wine bottle is sucked into the wine stopper (2000) and then discharged to the outside, thereby vacuuming up the air remaining inside the wine bottle. With this configuration, the air inside the wine bottle is discharged to the outside, creating a vacuum inside the wine bottle, and the wine can be stored for a long period of time without deterioration.

[0123] The wine pump (1000) described above can serve as a cutter, opener, and pump for wine. Furthermore, the wine pump (1000) can be detachably attached to one end of a wine stopper (2000), and, with its cylindrical shape, can also serve as a stand for stably holding the wine stopper (2000).

[0124] Fig. 16 illustrates a coupling frame according to the present invention. Figs. 17a and 17b illustrate front and rear perspective views of a discharge frame according to the present invention. Figs. 18a and 18b illustrate front and rear exploded perspective views of a discharge frame according to the present invention.

[0125] Hereinafter, a wine pump (1000) and a detachable wine stopper (2000) will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 to 18b.

[0126] The wine stopper (2000) may have an aerator, preserver, and stopper function. The wine stopper (2000) may include a connecting frame (2100) having a fluid movement channel and a lower portion of which is inserted into the upper portion of a wine pump (1000), and a discharge frame (2200) that is connected to the connecting frame (2100) and has a flow path communicating with the fluid movement channel and a discharge port for discharging liquid, i.e., wine.

[0127] The joining frame (2100) may include a joining frame body (2110), a sealing portion (2120), an insertion port (2130), and a moving tube (2140).

[0128] The coupling frame body (2110) can be coupled to an outer portion of the discharge frame (2200) and can be configured in a hemispherical shape as shown in FIG. 16, but is not limited thereto.

[0129] This combined frame body (2110) is formed with a hollow space inside so that a discharge frame (2200) can be inserted into the inside.

[0130] The sealing portion (2120) has a first communication hole (2121) communicating with the liquid movement channel of the insertion port (2130) and a second communication hole (2122) communicating with the air movement channel of the movement pipe (2140), and is configured to be in close contact with a portion of the housing of the discharge frame (2200) so as to maintain airtightness between the portion of the housing of the discharge frame (2200) and the connecting frame body (2110). At this time, the sealing portion (2120) is made of a material having elasticity, such as rubber or silicone, to improve airtightness.

[0131] The connecting frame body (2110) may be formed by a plurality of cut-out grooves (2111) in which a portion is cut out, and these cut-out grooves (2111) may facilitate the connection of the connecting frame body (2110) and the discharge frame (2200) even when there is a gap when the connecting frame (2100) and the discharge frame (2200) are connected. In addition, a rotating groove (2112) is formed on the inside of the connecting frame body (2110) so that the rotating hole (2220a) of the discharge frame (2200) described below is fitted therein so that the discharge frame (2200) can be rotated around the rotating hole (2220a).

[0132] Through the connection between the rotation home (2112) and the rotation hole (2220a), the discharge frame (2200) can be easily rotated in a certain direction inside the coupling frame (2100).

[0133] The insertion port (2130) is connected to the inside of the main body of the joint frame (2110), has a tubular shape, and extends downward so that the insertion port (2130) can be partially inserted into the inside of the wine bottle. At this time, the insertion port (2130) has a shape in which the diameter gradually decreases as it extends downward, and a liquid movement channel is formed inside through which the liquid inside the wine bottle can move.

[0134] The moving tube (2140) can be inserted into the inside of the insertion port (2130) to form an air movement channel through which external air moves into the inside of the wine bottle.

[0135] The discharge frame (2200) may include a fluid pipe (2210), a discharge frame body (2220), and a sealing control part (2230).

[0136] The discharge frame body (2220) can be accommodated so as to be rotatably inserted into the inside of the coupling frame body (2110), and can have a fluid movement space in which fluid moves inside.

[0137] The fluid pipe (2210) is connected to the fluid flow space within the discharge frame body (2220) and may have a Venturi shape with a changing diameter.

[0138] The sealing control device (2230) is made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone, and is combined with the wine pump (1000) to discharge air and maintain the wine bottle in a sealed state when the inside of the wine bottle is depressurized.

[0139] At this time, the discharge frame body (2220) may further include a through pipe (2221) and a valve seat (2222). The through pipe (2221) is configured to form a fluid movement channel for discharging air inside the wine bottle, and a valve seat (2222) is formed at the upper end of the through pipe (2221). In addition, the lower end of the through pipe (2221) is configured to pass through a through hole (2220b) provided at the lower end of the discharge frame body (2220). In addition, the valve seat (2222) formed at the upper end of the through pipe (2221) is configured to be in close contact with the sealing control member (2230) to maintain airtightness inside the wine bottle.

[0140] This discharge frame body (2220) may further include an air inlet (2223) and a liquid inlet (2224). The air inlet (2223) is configured to allow external air to flow into the discharge frame body (2220), and the liquid inlet (2224) is configured to allow liquid in a wine bottle to flow into the discharge frame body (2220) through the coupling frame (2100).

[0141] At this time, a body plate (2225) may be provided around the liquid inlet (2224). That is, when liquid flows out through the liquid inlet (2224) in the first state, if the liquid is directly transferred to the fluid pipe (2210) through the space of the discharge frame body (2220), the aeration effect may be halved, so the liquid flowing out from the liquid inlet (2224) is transferred to the fluid pipe (2210) through a path that flows along the inner wall of the discharge frame body (2220) by the body plate (2225), thereby maximizing the aeration effect.

[0142] When the discharge frame (2200) is inserted into the coupling frame (2100), a rotation hole (2220a) is formed protruding at a position corresponding to the rotation groove (2112) described above, and when the rotation hole (2220a) is inserted into the rotation groove (2112) and fitted, the discharge frame (2200) is rotated around the axial direction of the rotation hole (2220a).

[0143] Through the rotation of this discharge frame (2200), it can be switched between a first state as in Fig. 20 and a second state as in Fig. 21 as needed.

[0144] At this time, the rotation hole (2220a) may be formed as a single or multiple, and the rotation groove (2112) may also be formed in the same number and position as the rotation hole (2220a) so that the discharge frame (2200) can be directly rotated inside the coupling frame (2100) or the discharge frame (2200) can be rotated on its own to a first state or second state position in advance and then coupled with the coupling frame (2100), and the design may be changed to allow for rotation through axial coupling as well as coupling and rotation in various forms, such as rotation through the rotation hole (2220a) and the rotation groove (2112).

[0145] This wine stopper (2000) is combined with a wine bottle in a first state as shown in FIG. 20, and then the wine bottle inlet is tilted so that the liquid (wine) inside the wine bottle can be discharged through the liquid movement channel of the insertion port (2130) into the first communication hole (2121). In this first state, the first communication hole (2121) and the liquid inlet (2224) are connected to each other, so that the liquid flows into the discharge frame body (2220) through the liquid inlet (2224). The liquid discharged to the liquid inlet (2224) by the body plate (2225) in the discharge frame body (2220) does not directly flow into the fluid pipe (2210), but flows along the inner wall surface of the discharge frame body (2220) and then flows into the fluid pipe (2210). The introduced liquid is discharged to the outside through a fluid pipe (2210) in the shape of a venturi tube. At this time, the liquid flow rate increases in the part where the diameter becomes narrow due to the venturi tube shape of the fluid pipe (2210), and an aerating effect occurs due to contact with external air (or oxygen).

[0146] In addition, in the second state as shown in FIG. 21, when the upper part of the sealing control part (2230) performs a pumping operation through the pump frame (1300), air inside the wine bottle can be introduced into the through-hole (2221) inside the discharge frame body (2220) through the first communication hole (2121) and the through-hole (2220b) through the air movement channel inside the insertion port (2130).

[0147] At this time, the air flow inside the penetration pipe (2221) passes through the gap between the valve seat (2222) and the sealing control member (2230) and is discharged to the outside through the gap between the outer frame (1310) and the inner frame (1320) forming the pump frame (1300). When the air inside the wine bottle is discharged to the outside, the inside of the wine bottle has a relatively lower pressure than the outside. When depressurization occurs in this way, a force is applied from the outside of the sealing control member (2230) toward the inside of the wine bottle, and through this, the sealing control member (2230) is pressed against the valve seat (2222), sealing the space between the sealing control member (2230) and the valve seat (2222). Similarly, the packing member (1322) also closes the gap between the inner surface of the outer frame (1310) and the outer surface of the inner frame (1320), thereby sealing the wine bottle.

[0148] In addition, when the housing of the sealing control member (2230) is pressurized in one direction while sealed by decompression, the sealing control member (2230) moves, allowing external air to flow in through the gap between the sealing control member (2230) and the valve seat (2222), thereby releasing the decompression state.

[0149] Meanwhile, the discharge frame (2200) described above is made of a projectible material so that the liquid movement state can be confirmed from the outside to the inside, so that the wine discharge can be confirmed with the naked eye.

[0150] The wine stopper (2000) described above is normally installed in a state where it is connected to the top of the wine pump (1000) and can be installed at a location through the wine pump (1000). When the wine pump (1000) is connected to the wine pump (1000) and a pumping operation is performed through the pump frame (1300), the wine stopper (2000) can also perform a role of maintaining or releasing the inside of the pump frame (1300) in an airtight state together with the packing member (1322) to discharge air that has entered the inside of the wine bottle to the outside.

[0151] In addition, the wine stopper (2000) can be separated from the wine pump (1000) and directly connected to the inlet of the wine bottle to ensure smooth and gentle pouring when pouring wine by tilting the wine bottle, and to increase the contact area and time with air to enhance the aerating effect. In addition, the wine stopper (2000) can also function as a stopper that connects or closes the outside and the inside of the wine bottle while being connected to the wine bottle.

[0152] The wine pump (1000) and wine stopper (2000) described above can be installed in a wine display case, etc., with the wine stopper (2000) attached to the top of the wine pump (1000) in normal times, and, if necessary, after performing seal cutting and opening operations on wine through the wine pump (1000), the wine stopper (2000) can be separated from the wine pump (1000) and then attached to the inlet of the wine bottle to perform the functions of an aerator, pump, stopper, and preserver.

[0153] Furthermore, since the wine pump (1000) can be used as a seal cutting and opener for other wines even when the wine stopper (2000) is combined with another wine bottle, the wine stopper (2000) and the wine pump (1000) can be combined or separated as needed, and thus have the advantage of being able to be used in various ways.

[0154] Fig. 22 is a drawing showing another embodiment of the wine cutter of the present invention.

[0155] Referring to FIG. 22, the open frame (1200) may be provided with a cutting member (1250) near the confirmation hole (1230). The cutting member (1250) may be manufactured in a shape that is generally bracelet-shaped and in which a portion of the ring-shaped plate is cut near the confirmation hole (1230). The cutting member (1250) may be provided with two ends (1252).

[0156] The confirmation hole (1230) is formed with a larger area than the entrance of the wine bottle, and the cutting member (1250) can be manufactured so that the gap between the two ends (1251) of the cutting member (1250) becomes narrow when pressing both sides of the cutting member (1250).

[0157] When the user presses the side of the cutting member (1250) while the wine bottle inlet is inserted into the inspection hole (1230), both ends (1251) come into contact with the sealing (foil) of the wine bottle inlet. In this state, the user can simply cut the sealing of the wine bottle inlet by rotating the wine bottle or rotating the cutting member (1250) and the opening frame (1200).

[0158] The foregoing description of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention can be readily modified into other specific forms without altering the technical spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described above should be understood as illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single entity may be implemented in a distributed manner, and similarly, components described as distributed may be implemented in a combined manner.

[0159] The scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims described below, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalent concepts should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
