Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent oxidation of wine and enable glass wine service in a single touch by evacuating the air in a hermetically sealed wine bottle by a vacuum pump and retaining the condition and pouring the wine into a glass by releasing the vacuum. SOLUTION: A wine bottle 7 hermetically sealed by a stopper 10 in which pipes 8, 9 are inserted in the storage of the main body 1 controlled in an appropriate temperature by cooling units 19, 20, 21, is reversely retained. The pipe 9 is connected to a cock 13 through a liquid reservoir 11 and the dregs of wine are discharged from the drain 16 in the reservoir 11. The upper part of the pipe 8 is projected upward of the wine face and the lower part is connected to a vacuum pump 12 through a motor-driven valve 22 to remove the air in the wine bottle and retain the vacuum. When pulling the lever 15 of the cock 13, the motor-driven valve 22 is opened and the air pressure is exerted through the pipe 8. Then, wine is poured into a glass 14. When the lever 15 is returned, the air in the wine bottle is removed again.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wine dispenser capable of pouring wine with one touch without deteriorating the taste of wine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when selling wine in a glass, a method is known in which a cork is removed from a wine bottle, the wine is poured, the cork is stoppered again, and stored in a refrigerator.

[0003]

When the opened wine is stored, the wine is re-sealed, but the wine is oxidized and the flavor is impaired. In order to solve this, the air in the bottle is evacuated to prevent oxidation of the wine, streamlining the work of pouring wine and measuring the work efficiency.

[0004]

[Means to solve the problem] The air of the capped wine is evacuated by a vacuum pump so that the vacuum is maintained, a pipe is inserted from the wine bottle, a cock is provided, and the wine is poured into a glass by opening the cock. did.

[0005]

The wine dispenser of the present invention maintains an optimum storage temperature and a suitable drinking temperature by a cooling unit, and maintains a vacuum by a vacuum pump to improve quality such as flavor deterioration and oxidation prevention. In addition, it is possible to pour into the glass just by opening the cock, which can increase the work efficiency.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The main body 1 is divided into a storage and a lower machine room. The door 2 of the storage can be freely opened and closed by a hinge 3. The storage part is covered with a heat insulating material 17 and the side and the door are made of paired glass so that heat can be shielded from the outside and the inside can be seen. Next, the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 of the stee are provided on the metal fitting 4 fixed to the main body 1, the wine bottle is held upside down, and the wine bottle is closed by a stopper 10 into which a pipe 8 and a pipe 9 are inserted. The pipe 9 covers the liquid reservoir 11 and is connected to the cock 13. A drain 16 is connected to the liquid reservoir 11 to discharge wine dregs and the like. The pipe 8 is set so that the upper part comes out above the wine surface. That is, when the wine bottle is full of wine, the liquid is collected in the liquid pool and a space is formed in the upper part. The other is connected to the vacuum pump 12 through an electric valve 22 so as to be controlled to a set pressure. Moreover, the temperature of the storage room is the cooling unit 1
The temperature is controlled to an appropriate temperature of 12 ° C to 15 ° C by 9, 20, 21. 19 is an internal heat exchanger and fan 2
0 is a Peltier element and 21 is a heat exchanger and a fan for heat radiation. As for the operation method, when the lever 15 of the cock 13 is pulled, the electric valve is released and the atmospheric pressure is applied through the pipe 8, and the wine is poured into the glass. When the lever is returned, the motorized valve closes and the vacuum pump works to evacuate the air in the wine bottle. In addition, stock wine is stored in the storage. In addition, set different wines in the same refrigerator in common with the vacuum pump in common,
Dispensing several types of wine, each with a trick,
Service can be performed. When used in a store that consumes a larger amount, a dedicated container 24 is prepared instead of a wine bottle, and a pipe 9B is provided at the bottom of the container, and a pipe 8A and a wine inlet are provided at the top. The inlet can be sealed with a screw cap. Thus, a large-capacity wine dispenser can be obtained.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the sales of wine glasses in restaurants can be expanded, quality can be improved, and losses due to disposal can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to subdivide wine and sell it.
The market can be expanded at the time of tasting.
