Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an ice bar for refrigerating and displaying food and beverages, specifically an ice bar with a water dispenser function. Background Technology

[0002] An ice bar is a refrigeration device used for storing and displaying food and beverages. Ice bars are smaller than refrigerators, taking up less space, making them suitable for placement in the living room or on a bar counter for convenient use. Water dispensers are also a commonly needed appliance; however, adding an extra water dispenser, along with the other two devices, would require a significant amount of space.

[0003] For example, a Chinese utility model patent entitled "Ice Bar" with patent number ZL201120397561.1 (publication number CN202304190U) discloses an ice bar structure including a freezing zone, a wine storage zone, and a refrigeration zone. The freezing zone is located at the top of the ice bar, the wine storage zone is located in the middle of the ice bar, and the refrigeration zone is located at the bottom of the ice bar; a fixed partition separates the wine storage zone and the refrigeration zone. It is essentially a small refrigerator, lacking a fan-like cooling function, let alone a cold air blowing function. Furthermore, it does not have a dedicated ice-making function. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ice bar with a reasonable structural layout and water dispenser function, in view of the above-mentioned existing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an ice bar with a water dispenser function, including a cabinet with a refrigeration area, a door that can be opened to cover the refrigeration area on the cabinet, and a refrigeration system inside the cabinet; characterized in that: the cabinet is also provided with a water dispenser module, the water dispenser module includes an outer shell located above the cabinet, the front end of the outer shell forming a concave water inlet, a water supply nozzle at the top of the water inlet, an outer bucket inside the outer shell, an inner bucket that can be removed or inserted inside the outer bucket, an opening on the top surface of the outer shell, a first cover at the opening, opening the first cover to remove or insert the inner bucket, a water outlet at the bottom of the outer bucket, a water outlet at the bottom of the inner bucket, a valve at the water outlet, the valve automatically closing when the inner bucket is detached from the outer bucket, and opening the valve when the inner bucket is inserted into the outer bucket to connect the inner bucket with the water outlet when the inner bucket is inserted into the outer bucket, and a water pump for drawing water from the water outlet to the water supply nozzle inside the outer shell.

[0006] To further improve the water dispenser module and ensure it can provide hot water, the module also includes an accelerator located in the pipeline between the water pump and the water outlet.

[0007] To facilitate assembly and create a compact layout, the aforementioned accelerator and water pump are fixed to the outer wall of the outer casing. The space inside the outer casing is already small, and directly installing them in other locations would obviously take up more space. However, the outer wall of the outer casing allows for the vertically spaced accelerator and water pump to be arranged vertically, which is beneficial for layout. At the same time, the accelerator and water pump can be pre-installed on the outer casing, facilitating pre-connection of pipelines. Then, the assembled outer casing can be installed into the outer casing.

[0008] To facilitate the handling of the inner bucket, a handle is provided on the inner bucket.

[0009] To facilitate control of the water dispenser module and / or refrigeration system, a control panel for controlling the water dispenser module and / or the refrigeration system is provided on the top surface of the outer casing. The control panel is conveniently located on the top surface of the outer casing for easy observation and operation.

[0010] To further enhance the ice bar's ice-making function, an ice maker is also installed inside the outer casing. The ice evaporator within the ice maker is connected to the refrigeration system. The top surface of the outer casing has an opening communicating with the ice dispensing port of the ice maker. A second cover is hinged to this opening; flipping the second cover upwards allows the ice produced in the ice maker to be removed. This ice bar not only has conventional refrigeration functions but also a dedicated ice-making function. Furthermore, the ice maker is positioned above the main unit, completely independent of the refrigeration area, for convenient access to ice.

[0011] To make the layout more reasonable and make full use of the space, the first and second covers are arranged side by side with a gap between them.

[0012] A removable and insertable water receiving box is provided at the bottom of the aforementioned water inlet.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this ice bar are as follows: This ice bar not only has a conventional refrigeration function, but also has a dedicated water dispenser module. The front of the outer casing forms a concave water inlet, which is located at a suitable height on the upper part of the cabinet. The placement is also very reasonable, making it convenient to dispensing water. The inner bucket can be removed for easy addition of drinking water or cleaning. When dispensing water, simply place the water cup on the water inlet and then control the water pump to work. Similar to a conventional water dispenser, this ice bar has a water dispenser function, eliminating the need for an additional water dispenser and achieving a multi-functional design.
