Examples

As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 4, and 7, the bottle opener according to the present invention includes a cylindrical body 1, The two sides of the cylindrical body are provided with two longitudinal grooves 11 and 12 penetrating through the side wall in parallel, a hand crank 2 passes through the two longitudinal grooves 11, 12 and one end thereof is hinged on the cylindrical body 1 so that the crank 2 The vertical grooves 11 and 12 can swing up and down. As shown in FIG. 7, it is a schematic sectional view of the main body. The vertical groove 12 extends downwardly by a limiting groove 13 formed on the inner wall. The limiting groove 13 is located on the upper tube with a smaller inner diameter, and a stop tip 131 is installed at the end of the limiting groove 13. The convex arc-shaped plate 70 is provided on the inner wall of the lower tube portion with a larger inner diameter of the cylindrical body 1, and the upper side of the arc-shaped plate and the lower side of the inner wall of the upper tube form a gap 71.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a corkscrew with a spiral cone 66 and a guide groove 67 with a spiral groove are arranged in the cylindrical body 1, and the corkscrew is located above the guide cylinder 67.

The specific structure of the corkscrew includes a connecting outer cylinder 63, a pressing block 61 and a spiral cone 66. A bearing body 66A at the upper end of the spiral cone 66 is placed in the connecting outer cylinder 63, and its cone body protrudes from the bottom of the connecting outer cylinder 63 and is free to rotate. The pressing block 61 is also placed in the connecting outer cylinder 63 and pressed against the bearing body 66A of the spiral cone 66. The outer cylinder 63 and the pressing block 61 are hinged to the crank 2 through a tip nail, so that the crank 2 swings up and down to drive the corkscrew up and down in the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1.

The cone body of the spiral cone 66 passes through the spiral groove inside the guide cylinder 67; a conversion hook 65 is also provided between the corkscrew and the guide cylinder 67, and the upper end of the conversion hook 65 is hinged to the corkscrew and passed through a pressure The spring 60 hooks the hook 65 to the tab 69 provided on the guide tube 67. As shown in FIG. 5, when the hook 65 is hooked with the tab 69, the guide tube 67 and the corkscrew are integrated to move up and down simultaneously. , The spiral cone only moves up and down with it. As shown in FIG. 6, if the hook 65 is disengaged from the tab 69, the corkscrew moves up and down with the up and down swing of the hand crank, and the spiral cone 66 moves up and down, while the guide cylinder is at a standstill and the spiral cone The spiral groove in the cylinder passes through and rotates. At this time, the spiral cone not only moves up and down, but also rotates to form a spiral. Spin movement.

In addition, the guide tube 67 is provided with a limiting pin 68. The limiting tip slides in the limiting groove 13 so as to limit the guide cylinder to move up and down in the vertical plane without rotating itself. A stopper 131 is installed at the end of the limiting groove 13 to prevent the guide cylinder 67 from falling down.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, in order to control the hooking state of the hook 65 and the clip 69, an internal pressure mechanism 4 is hinged under the cylindrical body, and the internal pressure mechanism 4 is connected to the cylindrical body by a spring 43. For fitting, the internal pressure mechanism is provided with a pressing block 41 for pressing the hook 65 and a pressing block 42 for pressing the bottleneck. The pressing block 41 and the pressing block 42 both extend into the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1. Before the wine bottle is inserted into the corkscrew, the hook 65 and the clip 69 are staggered due to the pressing of the pressing block 41, and the corkscrew and the guide cylinder 67 are in a separated state as shown in FIG. When the wine bottle is inserted into the corkscrew as shown in FIG. 2, the bottleneck is pressed outward against the pressure block 42, so that the internal pressure mechanism 4 is opened outward, and is no longer in a state of being in contact with the cylindrical body, so that the pressure block 41 also withdraws from the inner cavity of the cylindrical body, and no longer presses the hook 65. The compression spring 60 causes the hook 65 to hook the tab 69 provided on the guide tube 67 to form a hooked state as shown in FIG. The use of the bottle opener will now be explained. There are four steps in use-

1) As shown in FIG. 1, the crank is lifted up, and due to the pressing of the pressing block 41, the hook 65 is staggered from the clip 69, the plug drill and the guide cylinder 67 are in a separated state shown in FIG. 6, and the plug drill rises with the crank. The guide cylinder 67 is located at the lowest point and is at a standstill, and the spiral cone exits upward from the spiral groove.

) After raising the crank to the highest point, insert the mouth of the wine bottle into the corkscrew, press down on the crank 2, the corkscrew moves down with the crank, and the guide tube 67 is at the lowest point, in a static state, the spiral The cone protrudes downward from the spiral groove and produces a rotation, and is gradually inserted into the stopper in a spiral.

) After pressing the crank to the lowest point, lift the crank upwards. As the wine bottleneck presses the pressure block 42 outward, the internal pressure mechanism 4 is opened outward, and it is no longer in a state of being in contact with the cylindrical body, so that the pressure block 41 also exits the inner cavity of the cylindrical body, and can no longer press the hook 65. The compression spring 60 causes the hook 65 to hook the tab 69 provided on the guide tube 67 to form the hooked state shown in FIG. The whole is lifted up with the crank 2 and the spiral cone does not rotate, so the stopper is pulled out from the bottle mouth.

) Take out the bottle, the internal pressure mechanism 4 is reset under the action of the spring 43 to make it fit with the cylindrical body, and the pressure block 41 and the pressure block 42 both extend into the inner cavity of the cylindrical body 1 again. At this time, when the crank is depressed, since the guide cylinder 67 and the corkscrew are still in the hooked state shown in FIG. 5, they are lowered together as a whole, and the spiral cone does not rotate on its own. When the crank is pressed to the bottom, the pressing block 41 presses the hook 65 so that the hook 65 is staggered with the tab 69. Lift the crank 2 up again, and the corkscrew will rise with the crank, while the guide cylinder 67 stays at the lowest point to stand still, the spiral cone rotates, and the spiral exits from the stopper.
