Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 202221983007.6 filed on Jul. 29, 2022, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The application relates to the technical field of wine sets, in particular to a separate type electric wine dispenser and preserver.


BACKGROUND

When drinking wine, the wine may be directly poured from a bottle. Besides, a wine dispenser is also a common tool for people. Existing wine dispensers include manual wine dispensers and electric wine dispensers.


The Chinese application patent of which the application number is No. 201921331990.1 discloses an electronic wine dispenser, including: an electronic switch, a shell, and a pressurization component and a pressure relief mechanism which are arranged in the shell. The shell is provided with an air inlet channel and a wine outlet channel. The pressurization component includes a motor and a pressurizer. The pressurizer communicates with the air inlet channel. The pressure relief mechanism is provided with an electric valve. The electric valve communicates with the air inlet channel. The electric valve may also communicate with the outside atmosphere at the same time. When the electronic switch is turned on, the electric valve is isolated from the outside atmosphere, and the pressurizer discharges the wine by controlling the air pressure in the bottle. When the electronic switch is turned off, the electric valve communicates with the outside atmosphere, thereby relieving the air pressure in the bottle. According to the application, the electric valve is used as an air reliever instead of a traditional mechanical air relief structure, thus optimizing the internal structure of the wine dispenser and greatly improving the use experience.


However, the above-mentioned electric wine dispenser can only perform wine dispensing, but cannot seal the bottle for preservation. When the wine in the bottle is not finished and the bottle needs to be sealed for preservation, one must take down the electric wine dispenser from the bottle and seal the neck of the bottle with a sealing stopper. When the wine needs to be dispensed for drinking next time, the sealing stopper should be taken down, and the electric wine dispenser should be mounted. Therefore, the operation is inconvenient. Besides, since multiple replacement operations occur at the neck of the bottle, the bottle is liable to bacterial infection.


SUMMARY

In order to solve the technical problem of resealing a bottle for preservation after an electric wine dispenser is removed, the application provides a separate type electric wine dispenser and preserver. After wine dispensing, the separate type electric wine dispenser and preserver can seal the bottle for preservation by simply removing a wine dispensing main unit while a stopper component remains being kept on the bottle.


The application is specifically implemented according to the following technical solutions:


A separate type electric wine dispenser and preserver includes a wine dispensing main unit and a stopper component. The lower part of the wine dispensing main unit is provided with a connector. A liquid guide chamber and an air guide chamber are arranged in the connector. The upper part of the stopper component is provided with a stopper valve. The upper part of the stopper valve is provided with an air inlet hole and a liquid guide hole protruding out of the stopper valve. The air inlet hole corresponds to the air guide chamber in position. The liquid guide hole is inserted in the liquid guide chamber.


Through the cooperation between the air inlet hole and the air guide chamber as well as between the air guide hole and the liquid guide chamber, the wine dispensing main unit can be matched with and removed from the stopper component. When the wine does not need to be dispensed, the wine dispensing main unit can be taken down while the stopper component remains being kept at the opening of the bottle, thereby realizing the purpose of sealing the bottle for preservation.


Further, the outer wall of the connector is provided with a connection groove. The connection groove has a groove opening. The stopper component is provided with snap-fit points. The snap-fit points are inlaid into or detached from the connection groove through the groove opening. The connection groove cooperates with the snap-fit points, so that the cooperation between the wine dispensing main unit and the stopper component is closer, and the operation is more stable and convenient.


Further, the wine dispensing main unit further includes a main unit shell component, a switch component, a circuit component, a pressurization component, a liquid outlet component and an air guide tube. The switch component is arranged on the surface of the main unit shell component. The circuit component, the pressurization component, the liquid outlet component and the air guide tube are arranged inside the main unit shell component. The switch component, the circuit component and the pressurization component are electrically connected. The pressurization component communicates with the air guide tube. The upper part of the connector is provided with a liquid guide port and an air guide port. One end of the liquid guide port is connected with the liquid outlet component, and the other end communicates with the liquid guide chamber. One end of the air guide port is connected with the air guide tube, and the other end communicates with the air guide chamber.


Furthermore, the liquid guide chamber is positioned at one side of the air guide chamber.


Furthermore, the liquid outlet component includes a liquid outlet tube and a liquid guide tube. The liquid guide tube is a hose. The liquid outlet tube is connected with one end of the liquid guide tube, and the other end of the liquid guide tube is connected with the liquid guide port.


Furthermore, the air guide tube is a hose.


The liquid guide tube and the air guide tube are arranged as hoses, so that the tubes can be mounted more easily, thereby greatly lowering the manufacturing and installation cost.


Furthermore, the main unit shell component includes an upper main unit body component and a lower main unit body component. The upper main unit body component has an upper main unit body opening. The liquid outlet tube is accommodated in the upper main unit body component. The opening of the liquid outlet tube protrudes out of the upper main unit body opening. The liquid outlet tube slightly protrudes out of the upper main unit body opening, thereby facilitating flow of the liquid from the wine dispensing main unit, preventing the liquid from entering the main unit shell component to influence the operation of circuits, and prolonging the service life of the main unit.


Further, the stopper component further includes a stopper shell component and a stopper valve positioning component. The shell component is further provided with a liquid guide channel and an air inlet channel. The stopper valve and the stopper valve positioning component are accommodated in the shell component. The stopper valve is positioned above the stopper valve positioning component. The stopper valve positioning component is fixed relative to the shell component. The stopper valve is rotatable relative to the stopper valve positioning component. The stopper valve positioning component is provided with a liquid guide through hole corresponding to the liquid guide channel and an air inlet through hole corresponding to the air inlet channel.


The stopper valve is rotatable relative to the stopper positioning component, so that when the snap-fit points are rotated to the inside of the groove while the wine dispensing main unit is rotated, the air inlet hole and the air inlet through hole communicate with each other, the liquid guide hole and the liquid guide through hole communicate with each other, and the stopper component is in an OPEN state; and if an opened bottle of wine needs to be sealed, it is only required to rotate the wine dispensing main unit again and rotate the stopper valve to make the snap-fit points detach from the groove opening, at this time, the air inlet hole and the air inlet through hole are staggered with each other, the liquid guide hole and the liquid guide through hole are staggered with each other, and the stopper component is in a CLOSE state, thereby sealing the bottle of wine.


Furthermore, the stopper shell component includes an upper stopper shell and a lower stopper shell. The snap-fit points are arranged on the upper stopper shell. The liquid guide channel and the air inlet channel are arranged on the lower stopper shell.


Further, the stopper valve positioning component includes a positioning piece and a sealing gasket. The positioning piece is provided with a positioning through hole. The sealing gasket is provided with the liquid guide through hole and the air inlet through hole.


Furthermore, the stopper valve is provided with an OPEN positioning concave point, a CLOSE positioning concave point, an OPEN positioning plane and a CLOSE positioning plane. An elastic rib, an OPEN contraposition plane and a CLOSE contraposition plane are arranged inside the positioning piece. When the elastic rib is accommodated in the OPEN positioning concave point, the OPEN contraposition plane abuts against the OPEN positioning plane, the air inlet hole and the air inlet through hole communicate with each other, the liquid guide hole and the liquid guide through hole communicate with each other, and the stopper component is in an OPEN state. When the elastic rib is accommodated in the CLOSE positioning concave point, the CLOSE contraposition plane abuts against the CLOSE positioning plane, the air inlet hole and the air inlet through hole are staggered with each other, the liquid guide hole and the liquid guide through hole are staggered with each other, and the stopper component is in a CLOSE state. Whenever the elastic rib cooperates with the OPEN positioning concave point or the CLOSE positioning concave point, a “snap” tone will be sent out, so that a user may easily distinguish whether the stopper component is in the OPEN state or the CLOSE state. At the same time, the OPEN positioning plane, the CLOSE positioning plane, the OPEN contraposition plane and the CLOSE contraposition plane are arranged, so that the rotation of the stopper valve is limited to a certain range, thereby preventing the user from over-rotating the stopper valve.


Furthermore, the top of the liquid guide hole is provided with a sealing ring. The outer wall of the liquid guide hole is provided with a stopper valve sealing ring. The arrangement of the sealing ring and the stopper valve sealing ring ensures that the stopper component can realize air/liquid-tight sealing.


Furthermore, the stopper component further includes a stopper sealing ring. The stopper sealing ring is nested at the outer side of the liquid guide channel and the air inlet channel. The stopper sealing ring enables the stopper component to remain sealed with the neck of the bottle when the stopper component is plugged into the neck of the bottle.


Furthermore, the stopper component further includes a long guide tube. The long guide tube is detachably connected with the liquid guide channel. When the wine needs to be dispensed, it is only required to connect the long guide tube with the liquid guide channel and place the stopper component at the neck of the bottle to insert the long guide tube into the wine.


Furthermore, the long guide tube is further provided with a decanting tube. The decanting tube is detachably connected with the long guide tube and the liquid guide channel. The side face of the decanting tube is provided with an aerating hole. When a decanting function is needed, the decanting tube is connected with the long guide tube, so that the aerating hole communicates with air in the bottle to realize the decanting function.


Furthermore, the wine dispensing main unit has a main unit dust cover. The main unit dust cover is detachably connected to the lower part of the main unit shell component. The stopper component has a stopper dust cover. The stopper dust cover is detachably connected at the top of the stopper shell component.


For the separate type electric wine dispenser and preserver provided by the application, when wine needs to be dispensed, the stopper component can be in the OPEN state by simply rotating the wine dispensing main unit to be assembled with the stopper component together, and wine dispensing can be realized by turning on the wine dispensing main unit; and when the unfinished bottle of wine needs to be preserved, the stopper component can be in the CLOSE state by simply rotating the wine dispensing main unit to be removed from the stopper component.
