First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A multifunctional electric wine opener comprising:
an opener cover ( 7 ) defining an upper part, a middle part and a lower part;
a knife holder ( 1 ) positioned in the upperpart of the opener cover, the knife holder including a containing cavity ( 11 ) with an upper open end;
an upper lid ( 2 ) embedded at the open end of the containing cavity;
a guide frame ( 3 ) set within the containing cavity under a lower part of the upper lid and arranged for up-and-down motions relative to the knife holder;
a guide spring ( 4 ) located at a lower part of the guide frame, the spring having a first upper part contacting the lower part of the guide frame and a second lower part contacting a bottom of the containing cavity defined by the holder;
at least two guide paths ( 31 ) set on the guide frame, the guide paths lay in a circular ring shape with evenly spaces and each of which has a side opening;
a blade component ( 5 ) assembled to each guide path of the guide frame;
each blade component including an L-shaped blade holder ( 51 ) defining a horizontal installation unit ( 511 ) extending horizontally and a vertical installation unit ( 512 ) extending vertically and integrally formed with the horizontal installation unit;
each blade component further including an opening blade ( 52 ) set separately on an upper part of the vertical installation unit that stretches to an upper part of the guide frame and each horizontal installation unit inserted into a corresponding guide path;
a travel spring ( 6 ) assembled in each guide path one end of each travel sarin contacting a corresponding inserted horizontal installation unit and another end of each travel spring contacting a corresponding bottom of the corresponding guide path;
each blade holder defining a guide slope ( 513 ) contacting a corresponding guide slope ( 12 ) formed on an inner surface of the containing cavity, wherein each guide slope of the knife holder slopes inwardly from an upper part to a lower part of the containing cavity and wherein each of the guide slope of the blade holder corresponds to the slope of each of the guide slope of the knife holder; and
a shell containing cavity ( 71 ) formed in the middle part of the opener cover and an electric opener unit ( 8 ) embedded in the shell containing cavity.

2. The multifunctional electric wine opener according to claim 1 , wherein the electric opener unit successively in down-to-the order includes, an opener sleeve ( 81 ), a screw hook ( 82 ), a reduction gear box ( 83 ), and an opener drive motor ( 84 ) having a drive shaft, wherein the opener sleeve structure has an assembly hole ( 811 ) for engaging a bottle neck and the head of screw hook is inserted into the assembly hole of the opener sleeve.

3. The multifunctional electric wine opener according to claim 2 , wherein the electric opener unit further includes a rechargeable battery ( 85 ) which is electrically connected to the opener drive motor.

4. The multifunctional electric wine opener according to claim 3 , wherein the shell containing cavity further contains a switch controlled PCB, wherein the rechargeable battery, the switch controlled PCB and the opener drive motor ( 84 ) are electrically connected in sequence and wherein an opener switch ( 861 ) is set on the switch controlled PCB.

5. The multifunctional electric wine opener according to claim 4 , wherein the shell containing cavity further contains a charger controlled PCB ( 87 ) which is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, the charger controlled PCB including a charging connector ( 88 ) positioned on a lower part of the shell containing cavity, wherein an upper part of the charging connector and the charger controlled PCB are electrically connected and wherein a charging contact piece ( 89 ) is set in a lower part of the charging connector.

6. The multifunctional electric wine opener according to claim 5 , further comprising a corresponding blade embedding groove ( 512 a ) formed on an upper surface of each of the vertical installation unit of each blade holder, wherein a lower part of each opener blade is inserted into the corresponding embedding groove.

7. The multifunctional electric wine opener according to claim 6 , wherein a spring embedding groove ( 511 a ) is set in each of the horizontal installation unit, wherein the two ends of each travel spring contacts a bottom of corresponding spring embedding groove and that of guide path.
