Description
Electronic wine aerator Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wine aerators, in particular to an electronic wine aerator. Background Art
[0002] In many occasions, people enjoy enjoying fine wine to enhance the atmosphere. Numerous wine pourers are currently on the market, offering features such as drip prevention, freshness preservation, dust protection, and decanting capabilities. However, most are complex and inconvenient to use. Furthermore, the temperature of the wine affects its maturity and quality. Therefore, knowing the temperature of the wine and choosing the right temperature for drinking is crucial and a symbol of refined taste. However, existing wine temperature sensors primarily include watch-type thermometers, which attach to the outside of the bottle and sense the temperature of the outer shell through a metal gauge. This can lead to significant discrepancies between the measured temperature and the actual temperature. Needle-type thermometers require insertion into the bottle before pouring, followed by a separate pour to decanter. If the temperature is measured and then poured out after a certain period, the temperature may have significantly changed, hindering consumers' enjoyment of the drinking experience. Technical issues

[0036] In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, specific embodiments are provided below.
[0037] Referring to Figures 1-11, an electronic wine aerator 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing, the interior of which is a accommodating chamber, in which a wine guide tube 11, a battery 15, a wine pump 30, a control circuit board 40, and an optical component are disposed. The bottom of the housing is connected to a cork sleeve 20, which is interconnected with the mouth of the wine bottle. The electronic wine aerator 100 is also provided with a charging port 42 and a button 43. The battery 15, wine pump 30, optical components, charging port 42, button 43, and other electronic components are electrically connected to the control circuit board 40. The optical components, charging port 42, and button 43 may also be disposed on the control circuit board 40.
[0038] A hollow cavity is formed within the housing, comprising an upright cylindrical main housing 60 and a curved portion 61 at the top. A accommodating chamber is formed within the upright cylindrical main housing 60, with an open bottom. A curved portion 61 extends upward from the top of the housing, with a wine spout 62 provided at the end of the curved portion 61 for dispensing wine. The wine spout 62 is attached to the end of the curved portion 61 by a snap-fit or other connection method, or may be an integral structure of the curved portion 61. The curved portion 61 is hollow and communicates with the interior of the upright cylindrical main housing 60. A liquid output channel is provided within the curved portion 61, which is fluidically connected to the wine spout 62 for discharging the wine. The upright cylindrical main housing 60 is cylindrical (not limited to a cylinder), forming an internal cavity for mounting the wine guide tube 11, rechargeable battery 15, wine pump 30, control circuit board 40, and optical components. The housing also includes several through-holes for mounting optical components, a charging port 42, and buttons 43. The through hole for mounting the optical component may also be a display window formed of a transparent material.
[0039] For example, a bracket seat 10 is provided inside the shell. For example, the bracket seat 10 is in the shape of an upright cylinder, adapted to the upright cylindrical main shell 60, and accommodated in the upright cylindrical main shell 60. The outer wall of the bracket seat 10 and the inner wall of the upright cylindrical main shell 60 can be clamped or tensioned. The interior of the bracket seat 10 is a cavity, in which a wine guide tube 11, a rechargeable battery 15, a wine pump 30, a control circuit board 40, and an optical component are installed. The wine guide tube 11 is provided inside the bracket seat 10 and can be provided upright along the height of the bracket seat 10. The wine guide tube 11 is used to connect the wine pump 30 and the wine extraction tube 25 at the bottom to guide the wine in the wine bottle into the wine extraction pump 30. The top and bottom of the bracket seat are also provided with a number of positioning holes 17. For example, the positioning holes 17 are holes at the upper and lower ends of a number of straight tubes provided inside the bracket seat. In other examples, the positioning holes 17 can also be through-holes provided on the top and bottom edges of the bracket seat, which are used to fix the top cover 16 of the bracket seat 10 and the bottle cork sleeve 20 at the bottom. For example, the top cover 16 and the bottle cork sleeve 20 are provided with a number of mounting holes around their periphery. The mounting holes on the edges of the top cover 16 and the bottle cork sleeve 20 are fixedly connected to the positioning holes 17 using screws or other fasteners. The top cover 16 is also provided with a number of through-holes for the pipe at the top of the wine pump 30 to extend out. The bracket base 10 has a side notch 13 extending through the bracket's internal cavity. The notch 13 is a cutout running from top to bottom along the sidewall of the bracket base 10. Positioning flanges are provided on the inner wall of the bracket base 10, located on either side of the notch 13. This forms a mounting slot 14 between the inner wall of the bracket base 10 and the notch 13. The mounting slot 14 accommodates the control circuit board 40 and the optical assembly. The control circuit board 40 and the optical assembly are mounted in the mounting slot 14. The optical assembly, charging port 42, and button 43 are mounted on the control circuit board 40, protruding outward from the notch 13 and passing through a through-hole or display window provided in the housing. The top opening of the bracket base 10 connects to a top cover 16. The sidewalls, bottom wall, and top cover 16 of the bracket base secure the wine pipe 11, rechargeable battery 15, wine pump 30, control circuit board 40, and optical assembly to the internal cavity of the bracket base 10. The wine pipe 11 can also be a straight tube integrally formed from the bottom wall of the bracket base. The bottom wall of the support base 10 is provided with a through-hole, through which the wine guide tube 11 extends, facilitating connection with the wine extraction tube 25 at the bottom. A first groove 12 of a predetermined depth is also provided on the outside of the bottom wall of the support base 10, but does not extend through the entire bottom wall. The through-hole in the bottom wall of the support base is located within the confines of groove 12. Groove 12 functions as an air pocket, allowing a small amount of air to enter the wine extraction tube 25 and the wine guide tube 11 through groove 12.
[0040] It is understandable that the bracket seat 10 may not be provided, and the structure provided on the bracket seat 10 and the function of the bracket seat 10 may be directly achieved by the shell (such as the main shell 60).
[0041] The wine pump 30 is installed inside the bracket 10, and a wine outlet 31 and a wine inlet 32 are provided on the top of the wine pump 30, which are connected to the internal liquid path of the wine pump 30. For example, the wine outlet 31 and the wine inlet 32 are formed by pipes extending upward from the top of the wine pump 30, and extend upward through the through hole on the bracket top cover 16 to facilitate connection with the connecting pipe. The wine inlet 32 of the wine pump 30 is connected to the top opening of the wine guide pipe 11 through the first connecting pipe 80 to introduce wine into the wine pump 30. The first connecting pipe 80 can be a hose structure. For example, the first connecting pipe 80 is a U-shaped connecting pipe, one end of which is connected to the top opening of the wine guide pipe 11, and the other end is connected to the wine inlet 32 of the wine pump 30. A temperature probe 81 is inserted into the first connecting pipe 80 to measure the real-time temperature of the wine flowing out of the bottle. The wine outlet 31 is connected to the second connecting pipe 71, and the second connecting pipe 71 is used to deliver the wine mixed with air in the wine pump 30. The second connecting pipe 71 can also be a hose. For example, the second connecting pipe 71 is an L-shaped elbow but not limited to the L-shape, one end of which is connected to the wine outlet 31, and the other end outputs wine mixed with air.
[0042] Battery 15 is mounted within the cavity of bracket 10 and is used to power the electronic components of electronic wine aerator 100. It is electrically connected to control circuit board 40 and is preferably a rechargeable battery that can be charged via charging port 42. Electronic wine aerator 100 can also be powered directly from mains electricity or an external power supply via charging port 42.
[0043] The optical assembly includes a light-emitting panel 41, a display component (such as a digital tube) 50 and a transparent plate body 90. The light-emitting panel 41 is provided with a light source, such as an LED light-emitting panel. For example, the light-emitting panel 41 and the display component 50 are arranged on the outside of the control circuit board 40. The button and the charging interface 42 are also arranged on the outside of the control circuit board 40. The light-emitting panel 41, the display component 50, the button and the charging interface 42 are arranged up and down on the outside of the control circuit board 40, and the transparent plate body 90 is installed outside the control circuit board 40 and buckled outside the light-emitting panel 41, the display component 50, the button and the charging interface 42. The control circuit board 40 and the optical assembly are installed in the mounting groove 14 of the bracket seat 10, and the light-emitting panel 41, the display component 50, the button and the charging interface 42 and the external transparent plate body 90 protrude outward from the notch 13 of the bracket seat 10 and pass through the through hole or display window on the shell.
[0044] The overall shape of the transparent plate body 90 is adapted to the shape of the control circuit board 40, and the cover is arranged on the outside of the control circuit board 40. The transparent plate body 90 defines a transparent wine bin 92 inside, and is provided with a wine inlet and a wine outlet connected to the transparent wine bin 92. A receiving groove is formed on the back of the transparent plate body 90. When the transparent plate body 90 covers the outside of the control circuit board 40, a storage cavity is formed between the receiving groove and the control circuit board 40, which is adapted to the optical component, and the optical component is accommodated in the storage cavity. A through hole 97 may be provided on the transparent plate body 90, for the button 43 and / or the charging interface 42 to pass through the through hole 97, and pass through the notch 13 and the through hole provided on the shell; or, the button 43 and / or the charging interface 42 may be located outside the edge (for example, the bottom edge) of the transparent plate body 90, protruding outward to pass through the notch 13 and the through hole provided on the shell. The transparent plate 9 is divided into an upper part and a lower part. The upper back side forms a receiving groove to accommodate the light-emitting board 41 of the optical component, and the lower back side forms a receiving groove to accommodate the display component 50 of the optical component. A transparent wine chamber 92 is formed in the upper part of the transparent plate 9. Wine mixed with air flows in the transparent wine chamber 92. When the light-emitting board 41 emits light, it can illuminate the wine in the transparent wine chamber 92, and the sobering state of the wine mixed with air in the transparent wine chamber 92 can be observed from the outside. The edges 91 on both sides of the transparent plate 90 serve as positioning edges. The transparent plate 90 and the control circuit board 40 are inserted into the mounting groove 14 defined by the bracket seat. The positioning edges 91 and the edges of the control circuit board 40 are clamped by the groove edges of the mounting groove to fix the control circuit board 40 and the transparent plate 90, and also fix the light-emitting board 41, display component 50, buttons and charging port 42 between the control circuit board 40 and the transparent plate 90. The transparent plate 90 is made of a transparent material. For example, the transparent plate body 90 forms a transparent wine bin 92 from its top downward. The transparent wine bin 92 is located in the upper part of the transparent plate body. The top of the transparent plate body 90 is open and is connected to or integrally provided with a third connecting pipe 93 to form a wine outlet, which is connected to the transparent wine bin 92. The back of the upper part of the transparent plate body 90 is connected to or integrally provided with a wine inlet pipe 94. The wine inlet pipe 94 is connected to the transparent wine bin 92 to form the wine inlet of the transparent wine bin 92. A receiving groove is formed on the back of the upper part between the outer wall of the third connecting pipe 93 and the protruding wine inlet pipe 94, which is used to accommodate the light-emitting board 41. The front of the upper part of the transparent plate body 90 forms a first visible cover 95, which is located in a through hole or display window opened on the shell, so that the sobering state of the wine and water mixed with air flowing inside can be observed. For example, the first visible cover 95 is a protrusion that is inserted into the corresponding through hole on the shell. A receiving groove is formed on the back of the lower part of the transparent plate body 90 to accommodate the display unit 50, and a second visual cover 96 is formed on the front. The second visual cover is a protrusion located in the through hole or display window opened on the shell. The content displayed on the display unit 50 (such as temperature and battery power) can be observed from the second visual cover 96.One end of the second connecting tube 71 is connected to the wine outlet 31 of the wine pump, and the other end is connected to the wine inlet, i.e., the wine inlet pipe 94, of the transparent plate body 90, for example, by a hose (not limited to a hose). Thus, the wine mixed with air in the wine pump 30 is transported through the second connecting tube 71 and the wine inlet pipe 94 to the transparent wine bin 92 in the transparent plate body 90, and then output through the wine outlet, i.e., the third connecting tube 93. A fourth connecting tube 72 is also provided at the top of the bracket base 10. One end of the fourth connecting tube 72 is connected to the third connecting tube 93, for example, by a hose (not limited to a hose), and the other end is connected to the wine outlet 62 at the end of the curved portion 61 at the top of the housing. The fourth connecting tube 72 can be connected to the wine outlet 62 through a liquid output channel inside the curved portion 61, for externally discharging the wine.
[0045] The cork sleeve 20 comprises a circular top wall, an annular side wall, and a plug body 21 disposed within the annular side wall. The circular top wall is provided with a through hole and a second groove 22, which correspond to the through hole (at the bottom end of the wine guide tube 11) and the first groove 12 in the bottom wall of the support base. The second groove 22 forms an air pocket with the first groove 12 and facilitates the installation of a sealing rubber ring 27. The top wall of the cork sleeve 20 mates with the bottom wall of the support base 10. A mounting hole (e.g., an opening at the end of a mounting post) is provided along the edge of the top wall of the cork sleeve. Fasteners engage the mounting hole in the top wall of the cork sleeve and the locating hole 17 in the bottom wall of the support base, securing the cork sleeve 20 to the bottom of the support base. A groove 28 is provided in the top wall of the cork sleeve, which mates with the slot 13 and mounting groove 14 in the support base, as well as with the control circuit board 40 and the bottom of the optical assembly, facilitating the installation of these components. A through hole 23 is formed in the center of the plug body 21, extending through the circular top wall. The annular side wall and the plug body 21 provided in the annular side wall extend downwardly. A plurality of grooves 29 are provided around the end surface of the plug body 21 for sucking in air to mix with the wine for sobering up and balancing the air pressure in the bottle.
[0046] The through-hole 23 of the plug body 21 connects to a double-tube connector 24. This connector 24 comprises an annular body and a through-tube 240 extending through the annular body. The upper end of the through-tube 240 is inserted into the through-hole 23 of the bottle stopper sleeve 20 (plug body 21) and communicates with the bottom of the wine guide tube 11 within the support seat via a sealing rubber ring 27. The lower end of the through-tube 240 is connected to the wine extraction tube 25, thereby connecting the internal fluid circuit. The upper end surface of the annular intermediate body abuts the bottom end of the plug body 21. A small air gap exists between the through-tube 240 of the double-tube connector and the through-hole of the plug body 21. Several grooves 29 are provided around the end surface of the plug body 21 to connect to this small air gap, allowing for the intake of small amounts of air. The lower end of the double-tube connector 24 is connected to the wine extraction tube 25. The other end of the wine extraction tube 25 is connected to a diversion nozzle 26. The wine extraction tube 25 and the diversion nozzle 26 extend into the liquid within the bottle. A filter screen (not shown) is provided inside the diversion nozzle 26 , and the filter screen can filter out the fruit residue inside the wine bottle, thereby improving the sobering effect and taste. The diversion nozzle 26 serves as a liquid inlet.
[0047] The liquid circuit inside the electronic wine aerator 100 is: the wine extraction tube 25, the through tube 240 of the double-tube connector 24 (the upper end of which is inserted into the through hole 23 in the plug body 21 of the bottle stopper sleeve and the through hole in the sealing rubber ring 27), the wine guide tube 11 in the bracket seat, the first connecting tube 80, the wine extraction pump 30 (the wine enters the wine extraction pump 30 from the wine inlet 32 and is output from the wine outlet 31), the second connecting tube 71, the transparent wine bin 92 in the transparent plate body (the wine enters the wine bin 92 from the wine inlet tube 94 and is then output from the third connecting tube 93), the fourth connecting tube 72, the liquid output channel in the bent part and the liquid circuit between the wine outlet 62 are connected in sequence to form a wine distribution pipeline. Pipes (such as hoses) can be set to connect the various components as needed.
[0048] The electronic wine aerator 100 is inserted into the bottle opening, with the cork sleeve 20 abutting against the bottle opening. The wine extraction tube 25 is inserted into the red wine in the bottle, and the annular body of the double-tube connector 24 can be inserted into the bottle opening to secure and seal it. During operation, the wine extraction pump 30 is activated, generating negative pressure within the wine dispensing pipeline. Under this negative pressure, air is drawn into the double-tube connector through the groove 29 on the end face of the cork sleeve 20 and the air gap between the cork sleeve 20's through-hole and the through-tube 240 of the double-tube connector, where it mixes with the wine and enters the wine dispensing pipeline.
[0049] When dispensing wine, the operation button 43 starts the wine extraction pump 30, and the red wine in the wine bottle enters the wine extraction pipe 25 from the flow guide nozzle 26, and is transported upward to the through pipe 240 of the double-tube connector 24. At the same time, air is sucked into the through pipe 240 in the double-tube connector from the bottle stopper sleeve 20 to mix with the internal wine to start decanting. The wine mixed with air continues to be transported upward to the wine guide pipe 11 inside the bracket seat 10 while continuing to decant, and then is sucked into the wine extraction pump 30 through the first connecting pipe 80 while continuing to decant, and continues to be transported from the wine inlet pipe 94 to the transparent wine bin 92 through the second connecting pipe 71 and the connecting pipeline, and is transported to the liquid output channel in the curved part 61 through the third connecting pipe 93, and finally flows out from the wine outlet 62 to complete the wine dispensing.
[0050] A temperature probe 81 inserted into the first connecting tube 80 measures the real-time temperature of the wine as it flows out of the bottle and transmits it to the display 50 for display, allowing the drinker to know the temperature and drink at the optimal temperature. The light panel 41 illuminates the mixture of air and wine in the transparent wine chamber 92, and the decanting process of the air-liquid mixture can be observed through the first visual cover 95.
[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control circuit board 40 is provided with a data processing module and may also be provided with a battery charge detection module. The battery charge detection module and the data processing module are connected to the display unit 50, which is used to display the temperature and the battery charge. The data sensed by the temperature probe 81 and the data read by the battery charge detection module are processed by the data processing module of the control circuit board 40, and the real-time temperature and real-time battery charge are displayed alternately, simultaneously, or alternatively on the display unit 50.
[0052] The interior of the bottle stopper sleeve 20 may also be provided with a rubber sleeve (not shown), which can be completely sleeved on the outside of the bottle mouth and can also play a sealing role, thereby storing the red wine when it is not finished.
[0053] In the electronic wine aerator provided by the present invention, when in use, the wine pump is activated to extract the wine from the bottle. First, the filter screen of the guide nozzle removes the fruit residue inside the bottle. As the filtered wine flows through the first connecting tube 80, the temperature sensor 81 inserted in the first connecting tube senses data that is transmitted in real time to the control circuit board. After processing by the data processing module of the control circuit board, the real-time temperature is displayed on the display. Subsequently, as the wine flows from the wine pump outlet through the transparent wine chamber of the transparent plate body, the illuminated light panel allows the first visual cover to clearly show the wine and water flowing through the transparent wine chamber, mixing with a large amount of bubbles. This allows the wine to circulate and contact air efficiently, achieving a more efficient and effective aeration process, making the aeration process more visually appealing. After the wine is dispensed and aerated, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is displayed on the display for a certain period of time for easy observation. This allows the drinker to know the wine temperature, allowing them to drink at the optimal temperature. Furthermore, the electronic wine aerator is compact, portable, and has a more attractive appearance.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
