Description

Rotary wine cooler

technical field

The utility model relates to a combination system of heating and cooling, in particular to a rotary cooling and warming wine container which keeps bottles of wine at the required temperature in an alternate operation mode. (F25B29/00)

Background technique

Patents for heating or freezing bottles of wine have been filed for decades, for example US 3,998,072 was filed in 1976. This is certainly not the earliest related patent application, because US patents from 1970 to 1975 are difficult to search online, and US patents before 1970 are simply sealed. Most of these early patent applications only have a single function of freezing or heating, such as US 4,581,898 (F25B 21/02); Bottle of wine chilled.

Shaoxing, the hometown of Lu Xun, has a long history of heating rice wine. It has long been possible to use a special copper cup inserted in a water bath for a certain period of time to make the rice wine contained in it get different temperatures, that is, sometimes it is "hot wine" and sometimes it is "warm wine". Wine", depending on the type of wine and the hobbies of the guests. Wine heated by experienced bartenders (ie bartenders) for regular customers is often a trick to retain guests. The heating temperature of wine should not be too high, and generally should not exceed 60 degrees Celsius, because many natural nutrients (such as amino acids, vitamins, etc.) Heat in several batches. But for strangers or regular customers like Kong Yiji, of course, it counts as one-time heating, so the heating temperature will definitely exceed 60 degrees. Therefore, rice wine has the highest heating temperature among various wines. The "Heroes of Cooking Wine" in Romance of the Three Kingdoms shows that in ancient China, the heating temperature of wine was on the high side.

Sparkling wine, such as champagne, needs to be chilled. The freezing temperature should not be too low, because wine that is too cold will not only make the teeth ache, but also have a bad effect on the throat tissue, and sometimes cause spasms to the stomach. So 5 degrees Celsius is the lowest temperature generally accepted by everyone.

The purpose of heating red wine is to accelerate the escape of aroma, and the second is to make the wine close to the body temperature to eliminate the discomfort of freezing wine. Since sugar can be added to red wine in an appropriate amount to improve the viscosity, taste and other properties, it is obviously inappropriate to heat it at a temperature as high as that of rice wine. Because at high temperature, the overall viscosity of red wine will decrease, the sweetness will decrease, the natural nutrients will be decomposed, the aroma will escape too much when heated, and it will not be fragrant enough when drinking, and so on. Therefore, the heating temperature of red wine in winter generally does not exceed 25 degrees Celsius. Red wine can also be frozen in summer. It can be seen that the heating temperature of red wine is lower than that of rice wine, and the freezing temperature of red wine should not be lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

Various bottles of wine produced in various countries use different corks. For example, almost all rice wine produced in China uses screw caps, so there is no problem with preservation before or after drinking. Both the champagne produced in Europe and the beer produced in various countries use mechanical measures to effectively seal the bottle stopper or bottle cap, so there is no problem of preservation before drinking. Only the red wine produced in various countries is sealed by a cylindrical cork. If the cork is in a long-term dry environment, it may leak due to the shrinkage of the cork, so it should be placed obliquely to soak the wine in the bottle Cork stoppers to ensure that the cork stoppers are always in a swollen state.

Of course, there are more types of alcohol than the above three types, but the above three types of alcohol can roughly represent the types of alcohol that ordinary people often encounter. Also the common temperature range for heating and/or freezing all wines can be between 5°C and 50°C. There is no single product currently on the market that can automatically warm and/or freeze a bottle of wine within this temperature range and optionally keep the bottle in a tilted state during heating. This just impels research and development and application of the present utility model.

Contents of the invention

The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary warming and cooling wine device, as long as a bottle of wine is put into the device before drinking and its optimal drinking temperature and inclination are set, no matter whether the ambient temperature is higher or lower than the If the temperature is set, the device will automatically keep the bottle of wine at the set temperature within one hour so as to be ready for drinking at any time.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the rotary cooler and warmer of the present invention mainly includes: one or more thermoelectric refrigeration modules; a cylindrical temperature-conducting sleeve connected to one pole of the module; a heat sink connected to the other pole of the module electronic temperature measuring and control device; a base and a pair of engaging rotating brackets installed on the base; a rotating bottle holder with a wine bottle insertion hole installed on the pair of brackets. This device compares the temperature level measured by the temperature detector located outside the bottom of the bottle with the level set by the temperature setting knob to decide to switch the polarity of the power supply, so that the bottle of wine is heated or cooled, and between the above two When the levels are equal, the power is cut off.

To sum up, the rotary cooler and warmer of the present invention can automatically heat and/or freeze bottles of wine and keep the heated bottles in a tilted state, and is small in size and low in cost, and is suitable for ordinary drinking all alcoholic beverages.

Detailed ways

Now with reference to accompanying drawing, rotating type cold and warm wine container of the present utility model is explained in detail. First look at Fig. 1A showing the perspective view of the rotary cooler and warmer of the present utility model. In Fig. 1A, 10 is the base, and 20 is arranged on the upper part of the base on an arc with a central angle of 90 degrees and can engage and rotate along the arc surface. bottle holder. The reason why the base 10 is made as shown in the figure is that one end is high and the other end is low because electronic and electrical components can be placed in the high end, for example, the liquid crystal display 11 that can be seen in Fig. 1A is used to display the temperature of the wine bottle , the temperature setting knob 12, and the control devices of transformers, circuit boards and the like not shown in the figure. A hole 21 for inserting a wine bottle is arranged on the bottle seat. Both sides of the bottle holder 20 are provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 22 for heat dissipation. FIG. 1B shows the temperature display screen 11 from a frontal angle, and the adjustment direction of the temperature setting knob 12 from low to high. That is, when adjusting from 50 degrees to 5 degrees, it must be adjusted from 45 degrees, 35 degrees, 25 degrees... all the way down to 5 degrees, and it cannot be directly jumped from 50 degrees to 5 degrees.

Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B are two left side views of the rotary type wine cooler and warmer of the present utility model, are used for showing that the bottle seat 20 inserted with the wine bottle 23 engages and rotates on the circular arc of the base 10, from the longitudinal axis of the wine bottle and The position where the ground forms an included angle of 15 degrees turns to the position where the longitudinal axis of the wine bottle and the ground form an 85 degree position.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the mechanical structure of the rotary cooler and warmer of the present invention, showing how the bottle base 20 engages and rotates on the base 10 . This mechanical structure is made up of a pair of support 30 firmly installed on the base 10, and a pair of sidewalls 20 of the bottle seat that can rotate in the shaft hole of the support 30. In Fig. 3, in order to illustrate the relationship between the above three parts, the arc surface of the bottle holder 20 is drawn as the arc surface away from the base 10. In fact, the two arcuate surfaces are in contact, so a certain force is required to make the two contacting arcuate surfaces rotate relative to each other against the friction force. The bracket 30 can also be utilized to conduct the current transmitted from the base 10 to the bottle base 20 . In actual implementation, the bracket 30 does not need to be made into a flat solid body, and any suitable ventilation holes can be formed on it.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the electrical structure of the rotary cooler and warmer of the present invention. If 41 of the thermoelectric refrigeration module in the figure is an n-type semiconductor, then when the battery supplies power to the metal guide plate 42 as shown in the figure, the upper part 43 is the heat absorbing plate, and the lower part 43 is the heat dissipation plate (this entire thermoelectric module is not available on the market. There are a variety of specifications of goods to choose from). At this time, if the battery is turned around so that the positive and negative poles are opposite, the original heat-absorbing plate becomes a heat-dissipating plate and the original heat-absorbing plate becomes a heat-absorbing plate. This can be done with any relevant prior art circuit. One of the two pieces 43 (one pole of the thermoelectric module) can be connected to a metal sleeve 44 (cylindrical temperature conducting sleeve) (see FIG. 5 ), and the metal sleeve is inserted into the wine bottle hole 21 of the bottle holder 20 , as long as the wine bottle is inserted into the hole 21, the cylindrical body of the wine bottle is in contact with the metal sleeve to conduct heat.

The liquid crystal display is actually connected with an electronic temperature measuring device positioned outside the bottom of the bottle, wherein the electronic temperature measuring device is a temperature detector (not shown) for detecting the temperature of the bottom of the bottle, and the detected temperature of the temperature detector is Compared with the potential set by the temperature setting knob 12, if it is large (or small), the electronic switch (not shown in the figure) will be activated, thereby changing the polarity on the metal guide plate 42, by switching the metal sleeve 44 The heating state (that is, heating or cooling) to change the temperature of the wine bottle. When the temperature measured by the detector is consistent with the temperature set by the knob 12, the power supply to the thermoelectric module will be stopped. At this time, any action that attracts attention can be made, such as lighting, beeping, and flashing letters on the display screen. ,etc.

In order to make the metal sleeve 44 in the hole 21 of the bottle seat 20 connected with the heat-absorbing/radiating plate 43 be in close contact with wine bottles of different diameters, thereby improving the efficiency of heating/cooling, the metal sleeve can be made of elastic metal . Metal sleeve 44 among Fig. 5 just can match a series of wine bottles of different diameters. The metal sleeve 44 among Fig. 5 is fixed on the suction/radiation plate 43 above. So no matter whether the suction/radiation plate 43 above is absorbing heat or dissipating heat, it is absorbing/radiating heat to the wine bottle. The bottom of the suction/radiating fin 43 (the other pole of the thermoelectric module) below is connected with a plurality of parallel metal sheets 45 (radiating fins) (only one can be seen in the figure), the purpose is to expand the contact area to the air, from The hot or cold air flowing out between these metal sheets 45 is just discharged outwards through the ventilation holes 22 on both sides of the bottle holder 20 .

Although the above thermoelectric module is only an example of an n-type semiconductor, it should be understood that this example does not limit the use of only n-type semiconductors in practical applications, and it includes p-type and n-p mixed-type thermoelectric modules. In the case of a suitable external power supply, such as a 12-volt DC power supply, the transformer is of course no longer needed, but a considerable weight of ballast must be used to maintain the center of gravity of the whole machine.

Fig. 6 is a schematic block diagram of the rotary wine cooler of the present invention. This is an example of a 12-volt thermoelectric module. When using two thermoelectric modules connected in series, of course, 24-volt direct current must be used. In addition, a coaxial fan can be installed at the axis of the support 30 to strengthen the heat sink and control the heat dissipation of the circuit board. The negative temperature coefficient thermistor used for temperature measurement directly outputs the measured data to the control board.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. In the above embodiments, the present utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
