A wine bottle installation chamber 30, the wine bottle installation chamber 30 is arranged in the containing chamber, and one end of the wine bottle installation chamber 30 is matched with the exchange port 12, and the wine bottle inside is replaced through the exchange port 12,
A wine taking device 40, the wine taking device 40 is arranged in the housing 10 and connected to the fresh-keeping gas storage tank 20, and
A refrigeration device, the refrigeration device 50 is arranged on the housing 10 and cools the wine installation chamber.
Specifically, this embodiment is suitable for the preservation of high-end red wine, white wine and the like. When in use, install the red wine or white wine in the wine bottle installation chamber 30, and take a small amount of wine through the wine taking device 40. At the same time, the wine bottle after taking the wine is filled with a preservation gas for preservation. Generally, argon is used. In this process, the refrigeration device 50 is also needed to cool the wine bottle installation chamber 30, and double preservation is achieved by refrigeration and argon flushing.
The wine taking device 40 includes:
A first pipe 41, the first end of the first pipe 41 is connected with the fresh-keeping gas storage tank 20,
A first solenoid valve 42, a first end of the first solenoid valve 42 is connected to a second end of the first pipe 41,
A second pipe 43, the first end of the second pipe 43 is connected to a second end of the first solenoid valve 42,
A three-way valve 44, a first end of the three-way valve 44 is connected to a second end of the second pipe 43,
A second solenoid valve 45, a first end of the second solenoid valve 45 is connected to a second end of the three-way valve 44, and a second end of the second solenoid valve 45 is provided with a single-channel hollow needle used to reach into the wine bottle to take wine, and connected to the second solenoid valve 45,
A third pipe 46, a first end of the third pipe 46 is connected to a third end of the three-way valve 44,
A third solenoid valve 47, a first end of the third solenoid valve 47 is connected to a second end of the third pipe 46, and
A fourth pipe 48 has a first end of the fourth pipe is connected to a second end of the third solenoid valve 47, and a second end of the fourth pipe 48 is connected to the wine outlet 11.
Specifically, in the process of taking wine, we generally first open the fresh-keeping gas storage tank 20, and at the same time open the first solenoid valve 42, the second solenoid valve 45, and close the third solenoid valve 47. At this time, we are filled with argon gas into the wine through the first pipe 41 and the second pipe 43. Because the hollow needle is a single-channel design, this makes the wine in the wine bottle unable to flow out of the wine bottle through the hollow needle during the process of filling the argon gas. When the incoming argon reaches the set threshold, the air pressure in the wine bottle will be much higher than the atmospheric pressure. At this time, close the fresh-keeping gas storage tank 20 and the first solenoid valve 42, and open the third solenoid valve 47. Under the action of the air pressure difference, the wine in the wine bottle is pressed out into the third pipe 46 through the single channel of the hollow needle, and flows out from the fourth pipe 48 through the third solenoid valve 47, and the user can carry out the operation of taking wine through entering the wine outlet 11.
When the wine is finished, we can close the second solenoid valve 45, open the fresh-keeping gas storage tank 20 and the first solenoid valve 42. At this time, the first pipe 41, the second pipe 43, the third pipe 46 and the fourth pipe 48 are flushed, the residual liquid in them is flushed out from the wine outlet 11, and the first pipe 41, the second pipe 43, the third pipe 46 and the fourth pipe 48 are kept clean.
After the rinsing is completed, the fresh-keeping gas storage tank 20, the first solenoid valve 42 and the third solenoid valve 47 are closed to complete a cycle of wine fetching and rinsing.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the wine sleeve 60 is designed outside the wine bottle, and the cooperating movement threads 70 is designed between the wine sleeve 60 and the wine bottle installation chamber 30, which makes the wine bottle move downward in the wine bottle installation chamber 30 In this process, the cork of the wine bottle first contacts with the hollow needle, and then the wine bottle rotates through the rotation of the wine sleeve 60, so that the needle is smoothly inserted into the wine bottle, which greatly facilitates the hollow needle to insert the bottle pass through the cork.
In some embodiments, the wine sleeve 60 includes:
A first sleeve 61, the first sleeve 61 is provided with a first opening (not shown in the figure) that allows the wine bottle to enter, at least one of a second opening 612 of which enables the wine bottle to communicate with the wine bottle installation chamber 30, and a third opening 613 through which a hollow needle 80 is inserted, and
