TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of wine aerators, and particularly relates to a high efficiency cooling wine aerator.

BACKGROUND

The wine aerator, also known as a wine aerator bottle or a wine aerator kettle, is a vessel used when drinking fermented wine. The function of the wine aerator is to make the wine come into contact with the air, volatilize sulfur dioxide in the wine, make the wine oxidize with the air, soften the tannins, and make the wine taste better when drinking. At present, the internal pipeline of the conventional wine aerator is connected into a whole, which is difficult to clean the inside. To accelerate the decanting speed, two air inlet holes are arranged at both sides of the pipeline of the wine aerator to mix the air with the wine through the air inlet holes by the Bernoulli principle to promote the oxidation of the wine, but the structures of the two air inlet holes make the decanting speed slow and the noise large during decanting. Research data indicate that the best drinking temperature of the wine is about 13° C. In order to achieve the best low temperature state of the wine when drinking, the commonly used method is to add a small amount of ice in the wine aerator. Although this method can cool the wine, the melted ice is mixed in the wine, which greatly influences the quality and taste of the wine.

During use, after water is poured into the ice kettle, the volume of ice is expanded; the pressure relief pad 5 is compressed; and the pressure relief pad 5 relieves pressure through a pressure relief port to prevent the ice kettle from being broken. The ice kettle is put into the wine aerator body; the tannin balancing piece 7, the wine aerator body 3, the aeration nozzle 2 and the bracket 1 are connected successively; and the high efficiency cooling wine aerator is connected. The bracket 1 is erected above the wine glass 10, and the wine is poured into the tannin balancing piece 7. At this time, some tannins in the wine oxidize with the air. The wine enters the cooling cavity through the filter screen 74 and the wine inlet hole 72. The air part in the cooling cavity flows upward from the vent hole of the tannin balancing piece 7, so that the air pressure inside and outside the cooling cavity is balanced. The baffle venting plug 8 prevents the wine from entering the pressure relief cavity 53 through the installing hole 61 of kettle lid 6 when the wine is poured down through the tannin balancing piece 7. The wine flows from the top of the kettle lid 6 to the ice kettle body 4, and also flows from the groove 42 of the ice kettle body 4 to the lower cavity body and the aeration cavity 324 successively. The groove 42 of the ice kettle body 4 increases the contact area between the ice kettle body 4 and the wine, so that the wine is cooled rapidly. When the wine flows into the mixed flow channel 221 through aeration cavity 324, the pressure of the connecting part between the aeration cavity 324 and the mixed flow channel 221 is reduced. The external air enters the connecting part between the aeration cavity 324 and the mixed flow channel 221 through the air inlet hole 23 and the air inlet groove 323 under normal pressure. The air is fully mixed with the wine to achieve the purpose of rapid decanting. After decanting, the high efficiency cooling wine aerator can be placed on a table through the bracket 1, or can be disassembled for cleaning.

The high efficiency cooling wine aerator of the present invention is formed by detachably connecting the tannin balancing piece 7, the wine aerator body 3, the ice kettle, the aeration nozzle 2, the bracket 1, and other components, and is detachable, convenient for cleaning and more hygienic and healthy. The ice kettle is put into the wine aerator body 3, which can play a role of cooling the wine while decanting. The groove 42 is formed in the ice kettle body 4 of the ice kettle, thereby increasing the contact area between the wine and the ice kettle body 4 during decanting and improving the cooling efficiency. Four air inlet grooves 323 are arranged at the first connector 32 of the wine aerator body 3, which increases the air inflow of the aeration cavity 324 and accelerates the oxidation reaction between the wine and the air, the softening of tannins and the volatilization of sulfur dioxide so that the decanting efficiency is high. The arrangement of the four air inlet grooves 323 can make the air intake more balanced and reduce the phenomena of turbulence, vortex, etc. in the aeration cavity 324, so as to reduce the noise generated during decanting. The air inlet grooves 323 of the wine aerator body 3 are grooved for convenient cleaning. The bracket 1 is provided with an annular limiting part and supporting feet 11. The limiting part can be limited to the inner side of the wine glass. The supporting feet 11 can be limited to the outer side of the wine glass, and can be matched with most of the wine glasses on the market, with wide range of application.
