Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The subject invention of this application relates to a cooler / freezer using a constrained orbital vibration method suitable for use with any type of packaging, such as packaged beverages, food, etc. [Background technology]

[0002] Many systems and techniques are used to cool or freeze packaged drinks, food and packaging of any kind. These techniques include: The most well-known of these technologies is the standard upright beverage cooling refrigerator. Deep Freezer Cooling process by immersion in a coolant and / or by rotation A cooling process in which bottles placed in one or more sleeves are placed in antifreeze

[0003] Due to their design, upright refrigerators release the cold air generated by the refrigerator every time the door is opened or used. Furthermore, even with air circulation fans, they are unable to cool beverages evenly and take a long time. It is difficult to cool a 500ml beverage at 24 degrees in an average of 8-9 hours. Furthermore, because it is difficult to achieve the desired cooling level, running the refrigerator 24 hours a day results in significant power consumption.

[0004] Deep freezers are very cold and the beverage inside is stationary, which causes it to freeze. The lack of active movement takes time, with the product taking an average of 50 minutes to freeze.

[0005] The dipping technique dispenses a wet product that must be wiped off by the user. Furthermore, the liquid that comes into direct contact with the packaged beverage may harbor bacteria, and consumers are directly exposed to the refrigerant through their lips. Because the liquid typically used is water, it cannot be cooled too quickly to prevent freezing, making it unpopular in the industry. Furthermore, it is not possible to control the degree to which the cooled beverage is cooled.

[0006] Coolant / antifreeze sleeves use antifreeze instead of water, but the lack of movement (flowability) means the liquid inside the package does not cool quickly enough, and sleeve rupture is a common problem, resulting in significant antifreeze loss.

[0007] The invention of Patent Document 1, which is in the field of the art, relates to a rapid cooling method and apparatus. However, this specification does not mention the orbital vibration method. It does not provide the uniform cooling that is possible with this orbital vibration method. This is because with the orbital vibration method and uniform mixing, the liquid in the package is constantly colliding with the inner wall of the package to be cooled and is constantly vibrated, causing it to move inward and allowing for the most uniform heat exchange. This function is not available in Patent Document 1. Furthermore, Patent Document 1 does not have a cooling block for the bottles.

[0008] While patent documents in the art have used antifreeze instead of water to cool the liquid in the sleeve, the lack of movement (fluidity) does not allow the liquid in the package to cool quickly enough, and these sleeves do not literally encase the bottle, keeping it still to ensure uniform heat exchange and aid in cooling the liquid.

[0009] Another patent document in this technical field is Patent Document 2. While this method can measure the temperature of packaged beverages, the cooling system cannot individually control the temperature of the beverages, which can lead to freezing of the cooled beverages and makes special temperature adjustments impossible. Again, the materials used for the multiple sleeves used in this technology do not have sufficient thermal conductivity, resulting in significant energy consumption. Our invention allows each hole to be individually measured and the cooling system to be controlled, completely eliminating problems such as freezing. Furthermore, consumers can freely cool their beverages, which is important for beverage companies in marketing and has a significant impact on the commercialization of their business. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 uses only one eccentric bearing described as guiding the orbital vibration motion, and the entire cooling unit is mounted on the beverage wheel, resulting in serious vibration deviations. This deviation can prevent the system from properly performing the orbital vibration motion, potentially resulting in unpredictable variations in cooling performance.

[0010] A consideration of current equipment in the art reveals that none share the same characteristics as an instant cooler / freezer using the orbital vibration method. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0011] [Patent Document 1] TR2006 / 02045 [Patent Document 2] Patent document No. 2016 / 02858 Summary of the Invention

[0046] The subject of the present invention relates to a flash cooler / freezer that uses an orbital vibration method to cool packaged beverages and food products in an extremely short time.

[0048] The screen (1) used in the embodiment of the present invention is a touch screen.

[0049] It is characterized by including a cooled beverage insulated storage area (59) in which cooled beverages (41) are stored, a radiator (61) capable of supplying cold air to the insulated storage area (59), and a fan (60) element for directing the cold air from the radiator (61) to the insulated storage area (59).

[0050] Packaged beverages (41) cooled in a flash cooler / freezer system using the orbital vibration method are gripped by a cooling block (7) made of a material with high thermal conductivity and squeezed by a clamping servo (27). Energy from the cooling liquid (56) is transferred to the packaged beverage (41) by direct contact. If desired, the cooling block (7) may be made of a flexible material and may even take the shape of the beverage package (41) placed inside it, the purpose of this process being to transfer heat to the beverage package (41) by direct contact. While this clamping and holding process is taking place, both the transfer of cooling liquid (56) to the cooling block (7) and the orbital vibration action begin simultaneously.

[0051] The orbital vibration method is the most efficient and rapid way to mix packaged beverages (41) without opening the packaging. This orbital vibration method ensures that the cooling energy transferred by contact from the cooling block (7) is transferred to the beverage (41) as quickly and uniformly as possible. The cooling block (7) can be changed depending on the size and shape of the packaging of the beverage (41) to be cooled. Therefore, all packaging, including PET, plastic, glass, aluminum, and cardboard, can be cooled regardless of its type.

[0052] This product is designed to simultaneously cool one or more beverages. Each cooling block (7) has a beverage button (47) in its center, and a thermocouple (30) associated with it. When a beverage is placed in a cooling block, the machine recognizes this and immediately begins measuring the temperature (°C) of the beverage (41) in that block. This process is carried out simultaneously in each cooling block (7) containing a beverage (41). The user uses the screen (1) to determine how many milliliters of beverage are placed in each cooling block. Furthermore, the user also determines via the display which beverage they wish to cool and by how much. By obtaining data on the temperature (°C) and milliliters at each block, the machine calculates which cooling blocks to send the cooling liquid (56) to, in what order, and for how many seconds. After placing the beverage (41) in the cooling hole and closing the service cover (3), the user issues a start command on the touchscreen. Following the start command, the UVC LED lamp (4) lights up and the disinfection process begins, the elevator servo (51) lowers the beverage (41) to a predetermined position where it can be optimally gripped by the cooling block (7), and following this process, the clamping servo (27) compresses the beverage (41) within the cooling block (7). Following this process, the cooling liquid (56) delivers the cooling liquid (56) to the cooling block (7) guided by the PCB (11) for a calculated time. The orbital vibration motion starts at the same time.

[0053] As is well known, orbital vibration motion causes vibration, but the special arrangement and offset we developed avoids this problem. The method is as follows: each cooling block starts to rotate in the same direction as the other cooling block, but at a 180-degree offset. Two blocks of approximately equal weight rotate with vibrations that damp each other. In this way, vibrations are reduced.

[0054] In detail, a circle with a diameter of 1 unit is drawn on the X,Y coordinate plane with its center at (0,0). Let's say it takes 4 seconds to complete one revolution of the circle. The cooling block is at time 0.

[0055] At 0 seconds, block A is at point (-1,0) and block B is at point (1,0).

[0056] After 1 second, block A is at point (0,1) and block B is at point (0,-1).

[0057] After 2 seconds, block A is at point (1,0) and block B is at point (-1,0).

[0058] After 3 seconds, block A is at point (0,-1) and block B is at point (0,1).

[0059] After 4 seconds, block A returns to point (-1,0) and block B returns to point (1,0).

[0060] During such full rotation, both blocks absorb vibrations due to their own weight and constant speed, preventing machine vibration.

[0061] In models intended to cool a single beverage (41), a counterweight may be used instead of the B-block to dampen the release.

[0062] If desired, a QR code reader or bar code reader can be added to each cooling block to count the cooled beverages, and this counting information can be transferred from the PCB (11) via the internet to a desired location.

[0063] The area where the cooling block (7) is located is contained within a PU main insulating case (34), which is insulated from the external environment and kept at an average temperature between 2°C and 10°C. If this area becomes heated, even if there is no beverage inside, the PCB (11) commands the cooling block (7) to send cryogenic liquid to cool the area. The purpose of this process is to keep the cooling block cool so that it is ready for the next beverage. Furthermore, the cooling liquid (56) is located in the cooling liquid tank (35) of the PU main insulating case (34), which has a thicker insulation layer. Insulation has a significant impact on power consumption.

[0064] All this insulation and direct contact with the beverage 41 ensures that only the same amount of energy is transferred to the beverage being cooled 41. With minimal energy losses, the power consumption and carbon footprint are significantly lower than standard cabinets and competing products on the market today.
