Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This utility model is in the field of wine utensils, and relates to an air pressure opener for opening grape wine bottle.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Currently, most of the pressure openers for opening grape wine bottle in the market are shown in FIG. 1. When using this type of air pressure opener to open the grape wine bottle, the air needle is inserted into the wine bottle. Like a pump, the housing moves up and down repeatedly to push the air into the wine bottle and then push the wine stopper out by using air pressure. However, it is not easy to control the amount of air pumped into the bottle in this way. Sometimes, too much air may be pumped into the bottle and causes the bottle burst dangerously if the wine stopper tightly fills into the bottle and therefore not easy to be pushed out of the bottle. The current technology lacks the air relief function to prevent bottle bursting.

EMBODIMENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The present invention is further described in detail with reference of the drawings as below. Referring to FIGS. 1-5, an air pressure opener for opening grape wine bottle comprises a housing 1 and a pumping device for filling air into a wine bottle. The pumping device comprises an inner cavity 121 of the housing and an air needle 3 with an air channel. The air needle 3 connects to the inner cavity 121 of the housing, and the air channel in the air needle 3 connects to the inner cavity of the housing 121. An air pressure relief device 2 is provided in the inner cavity of the housing 121. When the air pressure in the inner cavity of the housing rises from atmospheric pressure value to a certain value, the air pressure relief device 2 can vent the air in the inner cavity of the housing 121. The technical effect of this solution is that an air pressure relief device 2 is provided in the air pressure opener. When the bottle is being opened, the pressure in the wine bottle 52 is high. There can be an danger of bottle explosion due to excessive pressure in the wine bottle 52 if the stopper 51 has not been opened and the air is still being pumped in at this time. With the air pressure relief device 2, the air pressure relief device 2 releases the air in the wine bottle 52 in time to prevent the wine bottle from bursting.

As an improvement, the air pressure relief device 2 comprises a venting valve 21, a spring 22, a sealing ring 23, and a venting hole 24. The venting valve 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the spring 22. Preferably, the spring 22 in this solution is a spring with a certain elastic strength to prevent the venting valve 21, which is installed at the bottom of the spring 22, from being easily pushed up by the air pressure in the inner cavity 121 of the housing. The venting hole 24 is provided at the bottom of the air pressure relief device 2 and a sealing ring 23 is provided at the bottom of the venting valve 21. When the air pressure in the inner cavity 121 does not reach to the value that can push the venting valve 21 up, the venting valve 21 and the venting hole 24 are tightly fitted through a sealing ring 23 under the elastic force of the spring 22. The seal ring 23 can prevent the air in the inner cavity 121 from flowing through the venting hole 24 into the atmosphere. When the air pressure in the inner cavity 121 reaches the value that can push up the venting valve 21, the spring 22 is compressed. And then the venting valve 21 is pushed up, with the venting hole 24 being opened, under the air pressure inside the inner cavity 121. The the air into the inner cavity 121 is released to the atmosphere by this way. When the wine bottle52 is being opened, the air needle 3 is inserted into the wine bottle 52. At this time, the inner cavity 121 of the housing is in a state of communicating the air with the wine bottle 52 through the air needle 3. The air pressures in the inner cavity 121 and the wine bottle 52 are the same. A large amount of air can be filled into the wine bottle 52 when the air pumping device works. When the air pressure in the bottle 52 is high and the stopper 51 is not being pushed out, the wine bottle 52 can be in a risk of bursting due to the excessive pressure inside if the air is still being pushed in the wine bottle 52. In the present invention, the pressure in the inner cavity 121 of the housing is high enough to push up the venting valve 21 at this time. Then, the venting valve 21 and the venting hole 24 are opened (see FIG. 4). A space is formed and a certain amount of air is vented: the air in the inner cavity 121 follows into the atmosphere through the venting hole 24 and the air outlet124. Since the air pressure inside the wine bottle 52 no longer rises at this time being, the danger of the wine bottle 52 bursting is avoided.

A further improvement, the housing 1 comprises an outer housing 11 and an inner housing 12, a piston ring 123 arranged between a top side wall of the inner housing 12 and the outer housing 11. A one-way valve 122 is provided on the top of the inner housing. When the air pressure opener works, an air intake space 13 is formed between the top of the inner housing 12 and the outer housing 11. A piston ring 123 is used to control the air flowing into the air intake space 13, and a one-way valve 122 is used to control the direction of the air flowing into the housing cavity 121 and make the air goes in one direction only. The specific embodiment is as follows: pull the housing 11 upward (see FIG. 5) so that the air can enter the intake space 13 through the piston ring 123. Then press the outer housing 11 downward (see FIG. 2) and the piston ring 123 is closed. The air in the intake space 13 enters the inner cavity of the housing 121 through the one-way valve 122. The inner cavity of the housing 121 connects to and communicate the air with the wine bottle 52 through the air needle 3. By this way, the air is filled into the wine bottle 52 if the housing 11 repeatedly moves upward or downward (see FIG. 5 and FIG. 2). If the wine bottle 52 is continuously filled with the air, the stopper 51 is ejected.

A further improvement, the air pressure relief device 2 is disposed at a side wall of the inner cavity of the housing 121. The side wall of the inner housing 12 is provided with an air outlet 124, and the air pressure relief device 2 connects to and communicates the air with outlet 124.

A further improvement, a sleeve 4 is provided at the bottom of the air pressure opener 4. The air needle 3 is provided on the sleeve of the air pressure opener4 and the sleeve 4 is set at the bottle mouth. When the bottle is being opened, the air needle 3 goes through the stopper 51 and into the wine bottle 52. In this case, the sleeve of bottle opener 4 is set on the wine bottle 52 to make the bottle opening process being more stable.

The embodiment mentioned above only shows part of the implementation manners of the present invention. They should not be understood as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that the modifications and improvements, which come from the concept of the present invention for the ordinary technicians in this field, fall into the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the invention patent shall be subject to the claims.
