Description

Bottle opener and bottle opener thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to a bottle opener, in particular to a bottle opener and a bottle opener thereof.

Background

Wine bottles and some containers requiring sealed storage are typically sealed for sealed storage using a sealing plug, which may be a wooden plug, a plastic plug, or the like. The bottle opener is a device for opening the sealing plug of a wine bottle and the like. When the wine bottle opener for red wine and the like in the prior art is used for opening a wine bottle, a user needs to press the bottle opener downwards with force, and meanwhile, the handle is slowly rotated by a circle of hands, the handle drives the drill bit to be screwed into the bottle plug, and then the bottle plug is pulled out from the bottle, so that the operation is time-consuming and labor-consuming. In addition, when the bottle stopper is opened, if the bottle stopper is not fixed stably or the bottle stopper is not operated properly by a user, the bottle stopper is damaged or cannot be taken out due to the fact that the bottle stopper is inserted obliquely into the bottle stopper.

Fig. 1 shows a bottle opener of the prior art, which comprises a bottle opener 1P and a positioning device 2P, wherein the positioning device 2P is used for fixing opened wine bottles or other kinds of sealed containers, the bottle opener 1P is arranged on the positioning device 2P, and the bottle opener 1P is fixed by the upper end of the positioning device 2P and is rotated into a bottle plug by the bottle opener 1P. The bottle opener 1P comprises a handle 11P and a screw drill 12P, wherein the handle 11P is disposed at the top end of the screw drill 12P, and a user rotates the screw drill 12P through the handle 11P to drill a bottle stopper. The handle 11P is provided with an annular groove 110P, wherein the positioning device 2P of the bottle opener comprises a positioning body 21P and at least one fixing unit 22P, wherein the fixing unit 22P is arranged at the upper end of the positioning body 21P. The fixing unit 22P is used to fix the handle 11P of the bottle opener 1P, wherein the fixing unit 22P is extended to the annular groove 110P. This secures the auger bit 12P of the bottle opener 1P to the positioning means 2P of the bottle opener and the bottle opener 1P is rotatable in the positioning means 2P. The two fixing units 22P of the bottle opener in the prior art image the whole aesthetic property of the bottle opener on the positioning main body 21P, and when a user operates the bottle opener, the bottle opener 1P and the positioning device 2P of the bottle opener have large friction force, and the operation is time-consuming and labor-consuming when the handle is rotated. On the other hand, the friction between the bottle opener 1P and the positioning device 2P during use of the bottle opener of the prior art can easily wear to cause the fixing unit 22P of the positioning device 2P. Therefore, the bottle opener in the prior art has low service life.

Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drill bit 11 and the shaft 12 are of a unitary structure. The drill bit 11 may be, but is not limited to, a screw device, wherein the drill bit 11 is driven by the shaft 12 and drills into the stopper in a rotational manner so that the stopper is extracted by the drill bit 11. The shaft 12 of the bottle opener 10 is pivotally disposed on the pivot device 13, and the drill 11 and the shaft 12 of the bottle opener 10 are supported by the pivot device 13 to rotate in the positioning space 200 of the positioning device 20.

The bottle opener 10 further comprises a handle 14, wherein the handle 14 is arranged on the shaft 12, and the shaft 12 and the drill bit 11 of the bottle opener 10 are driven by the handle 14 to rotate synchronously. It will be appreciated that the pivot means 13 limits the direction and angle of rotation of the shaft 12 and the drill bit 11 of the decapping device 10 when the shaft 12 and the drill bit 11 are synchronously rotated by the handle 14. The pivot device 13 has a central axis L, wherein the shaft 12 and the drill bit 11 of the bottle opener 10 are arranged to the pivot device 13 along the central axis L, and the handle 14 drives the shaft 12 and the drill bit 11 to move rotationally along the central axis L of the pivot device 13.

As shown in fig. 2 to 3, the pivoting unit 13 is provided with a shaft hole 130, wherein the shaft 12 of the bottle opener 10 is disposed in the shaft hole 130 of the pivoting unit 13, and the shaft 12 rotates synchronously with the pivoting unit 13. It is worth mentioning that in this preferred embodiment of the invention, the shape and the size of the shaft hole 130 of the pivoting means 13 are adapted to the shape and the size of the shaft 12. In other words, the shaft 12 is embedded in the pivoting device 13. Alternatively, in other alternative embodiments of the present invention, the shaft 12 is fixedly disposed on the pivoting device 13, and the shaft 12 rotates synchronously with the pivoting device 13. Preferably, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shaft 12 is a cylindrical structure, and the corresponding shaft hole 130 of the pivot device 13 is a circular through hole or a semi-permeable hole. Alternatively, in other alternative embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the shaft 12 may also be a triangular prism or other shapes, and thus, in the present invention, the shape of the shaft 12 is merely used as an example and is not limited herein.

The pivot device 13 includes an inner sleeve member 131, an outer sleeve member 132, a plurality of rolling members 133 disposed between the inner sleeve member 131 and the outer sleeve member 132, and a holder 134, wherein the shaft hole 130 of the pivot device 13 is formed in the inner sleeve member 131 of the pivot device 13. The rolling members 133 are disposed on the retainer 134, and the rolling members 133 are held between the inner sleeve member 131 and the outer sleeve member 132 by the retainer 134. The outer sleeve 132 of the pivoting device 13 is disposed on the positioning device 20, and the inner sleeve 131 of the pivoting device 13 can be driven by the shaft 12 of the bottle opener 10 to rotate along the central axis L.
