A water ejection pipe having one end connected to the water ejection nozzle and the other end extending to an inside of the case is disposed in a lower space of the lifting motor and the gear module.

A system and method enabling superior preserved storage, preservation, and management of selective dispensation of beverages (e.g., wine), by storing the beverages in a pressurized environment, and then by selectively dispensing a portion of the stored beverage, in accordance with a desired dispensing regime, by utilizing a controlled source of pressure force to apply a sufficient pressure to the pressurized environment to expel the desired volume of the beverage in a pressurized stream directed to a remote dispensing/pouring interface through a liquid delivery system. In at least one embodiment, the system and method are configured for use with compressible wine-in-bag (WinB) product containers placed into at least one pressurized chamber and interfaced with a liquid delivery system. Advantageously, the system and method are scalable from use in conjunction with a single WinB product, to a large electronically-controlled beverage dispensing infrastructure implementation operable to interface with various hospitality management systems.

The inventive system and method advantageously enable superior preserved storage and selective dispensation of liquids by storing wine (or other liquids) in a pressurized environment to ensure that the stored liquid does not come into contact with air, and then by selectively dispensing a portion of the stored liquid, in accordance with a desired dispensing regime, by utilizing a controlled source of pressure force to apply a sufficient pressure to the pressurized environment to expel the desired volume of the liquid in a pressurized stream directed to a dispensing/pouring interface through a conduit or equivalent delivery system. In at least several novel embodiments thereof, the system and method of the present invention are configured for use with wine-in-bag (WinB) products.

A water discharge device is disclosed. A water discharge device according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a main body unit including a first main body and a second main body movably connected to the first main body; and a discharge unit connected to the second main body so as to be moved with the second main body, and connected to a water source so as to discharge water in the water source to the outside, wherein the discharge unit comprises a plurality of link members having flow channels through which water flows, respectively, and rotatably connected to each other so as to connect the flow channels in a sealed manner.

A self-service wine tasting system includes automatic wine dispensers, a cloud server and user terminals. The automatic wine dispenser includes wine dispensing stations, a machine identity and a first telecommunication module. The first telecommunication module is connected to a control chip of the automatic wine dispenser. The cloud server includes a storage and a second telecommunication module. The second telecommunication module is in communication connection with the first telecommunication module. The storage stores wine storage information associated with the machine code of each automatic wine dispenser. The user terminal includes an identification device and a third telecommunication module. The third telecommunication module is in communication connection with the second telecommunication module. The self-service wine tasting system facilitates the wine taster to record the tasting behavior.

A draft beer machine comprising a cabinet and a refrigeration circuit inside the cabinet, including a compressor, a condenser, and refrigeration tubes. Beer pipes are also arranged inside the cabinet and a beer tap is fixed to the outside of the cabinet. The outer end of the beer pipes is connected to the beer tap. The refrigeration tube and the beer pipe are wound into a quick cooler of a round or an elliptic cylindrical shape, in a helical manner. The quick cooler comprises at least one mixing layer, which is formed by winding the refrigeration tube and the beer pipe into a round or elliptic cylinder, in an abreast and helical manner. In the same mixing layer, the adjacent beer pipe and refrigeration tube adhere to each other. The adjacent two mixing layers directly adhere or a thermal conductive medium is filled in between the two layers.
