Description

醒酒裝置Sobering device

本發明與酒器有關，尤指一種醒酒裝置。The invention relates to a wine vessel, and more particularly to a hangover device.

按，酒（尤指葡萄酒）在飲用前，若先經過醒酒的處理，將能激發酒的香氣以及軟化酸澀的口感，進而使酒喝起來更加醇美。醒酒的原理係在於使酒液接觸空氣而令其適度的氧化，因此市面上出現的醒酒裝置皆以此原理進行結構設計。Press, wine (especially wine) before drinking, if it is treated by hangover, it will stimulate the aroma of the wine and soften the taste of the sour, which makes the wine more mellow. The principle of hangover is to make the wine contact with the air and make it moderately oxidized. Therefore, the sobering devices appearing on the market are designed according to this principle.

一種習知的醒酒裝置如第１０圖所示，其具有一管狀本體４，內部設有由一呈錐形之酒液流道４１及一空氣流道４２所構成的Ｔ形流道，於使用時係將該本體４插設於酒瓶之瓶口５，令該酒液流道４１連通酒瓶，則於倒酒時酒液將通過該酒液流道４１流出，同時利用文氏管原理將外部空氣吸入該空氣流道４２，並與該酒液流道４１中的酒混合，以達到醒酒作用。A conventional hangover device, as shown in Fig. 10, has a tubular body 4 having a T-shaped flow passage formed by a tapered wine flow passage 41 and an air flow passage 42 for use. When the body 4 is inserted into the bottle mouth 5 of the wine bottle, the wine liquid flow path 41 is connected to the wine bottle, and the wine liquid will flow out through the wine liquid flow path 41 when the wine is poured, and the venturi principle is utilized. External air is drawn into the air flow path 42 and mixed with the wine in the wine flow path 41 to achieve a sobering effect.

惟酒瓶的形狀設計為其質感的重要因素，因此酒瓶的形狀各自不一，其瓶口５的尺寸亦不具有統一的規格。然而上述習知醒酒裝置僅能適用於瓶口５尺寸與該本體１相對應的酒瓶，否則無法固定於酒瓶上，故其泛用性較差。However, the shape of the bottle is designed as an important factor in the texture, so the shape of the bottle is different, and the size of the bottle mouth 5 does not have a uniform specification. However, the above-mentioned conventional hangover device can only be applied to the bottle corresponding to the body 1 in the size of the bottle mouth 5, otherwise it cannot be fixed on the bottle, so its versatility is poor.

有鑑於此，如何改進上述問題即為本發明所欲解決之首要課題。In view of this, how to improve the above problems is the primary problem to be solved by the present invention.
