Beverage Chillers and Refrigerators

Abstract

The invention provides a beverage cooling device and a refrigerator. The beverage cooling device comprises a liquid storage container and a cooling pipe; the liquid storage container contains a first cold storage material with the freezing point being a first preset threshold value; an input pipeline for introducing a beverage is arranged at the upper part of the liquid storage container; an output pipeline for discharging the beverage is arranged at the lower part of the liquid storage container; the cooling pipe is arranged inside the liquid storage container and communicates with the input pipeline and the output pipeline; multiple bead bodies are arranged in the first cold storage material; each bead body is full of a second cold storage material with the freezing point being a second preset threshold value; and the second preset threshold value is larger than the first preset threshold value, so that phase change through absorption of latent heat is realized when the temperature of the second cold storage materials reach the freezing point, the cold is provided for the first cold storage material, and the beverage cooling device has the relatively good cooling effect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to refrigeration technology, in particular to a beverage cooling device and a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] In hot weather, iced drinks (such as beverages, water, beer, etc.) are people's first choice, but the drinks at normal temperature must be refrigerated for a long time to become iced drinks for consumers to enjoy. In order to quickly cool the beverage, there is a beverage cooling device disclosed in the prior art, which usually includes a liquid storage container containing a quick-cooling liquid (also called cold storage liquid, quick-freezing liquid) whose freezing point is a preset threshold. A beverage inlet and a beverage outlet are arranged on the container, and a spiral tube communicating with the beverage inlet and the beverage outlet is arranged inside the liquid storage container. The beverage cooling device can be placed in the refrigerator to store cold at ordinary times. When the beverage needs to...

Problems solved by technology

However, for existing beverage cooling devices, usually in order to ensure the cooling effect, the diameter of the spiral tube in the liquid storage container is relatively thin, which will cause it to take a period of time to completely cool the beverage; and because the cold storage capacity of the quick cooling liquid is low, Its temperature will increase with the increase of time, making it difficult to reduce the temperature of the final cooled beverage to the ideal temperature; especially when there are many beverages to be cooled, the cooling effect of the existing beverage cooling device is even more unsatisfactory. poor experience
