Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water purifiers, and in particular relates to an embedded water purifier, in particular to an embedded water purifier with a modular refrigeration unit. Background Art

[0002] Drink purifiers are common household appliances. A built-in refrigeration unit in the drink purifier can greatly improve the user experience of consumers. For example, CN117213132A discloses an ice-making module, a drinking water device and a drink purifier. The ice-making module includes: a box body, the box body has an inner cavity, the inner cavity includes a cold water cavity and an ice-making cavity, and the box wall of the box body includes an insulation layer; a cold water pipe, the inlet end of the cold water pipe is connected to the cold water cavity, and at least a part of the cold water pipe is located in the inner cavity.

[0003] The prior art has two defects: first, when it is applied to embedded water purifiers, due to the miniaturization of the machine, its internal space is small, making welding, assembly and maintenance difficult, limiting the use of the refrigeration system; second, the insulation layer is set on the box body, which not only increases the cost but also occupies more internal cavity space. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide an embedded water purifier with a modular refrigeration unit.

[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical scheme: an embedded water purifier with a modular refrigeration unit, comprising a chassis consisting of a bottom plate and side walls, and is characterized in that: a modular refrigeration unit is arranged in the chassis, the modular refrigeration unit comprises a bracket, a cold tank and an evaporator are fixed above the bracket, a compressor, a condenser and a cooling fan are fixed below the bracket, the cold tank and the evaporator above the bracket are coated with an integrally foamed insulation layer; the above-mentioned modular refrigeration unit is integrally fixed to the bottom plate of the chassis through the bottom of the bracket.

[0006] The heat-insulating layer is cylindrical, and its diameter in the horizontal direction does not exceed the side length of the bracket.

[0007] A liquid level switch and a sterilizing lamp are installed in the cold tank and extend out of the heat-insulating layer.

[0008] A plurality of liquid accumulation grooves are arranged on the bottom plate below the bracket.

[0009] In actual production, the bracket can be disassembled and then assembled. For example, the plate on the top of the bracket is used as a fixing plate for installing the cold tank, the cold tank is installed with accessories and the evaporator and the cold tank fixing plate are foamed into one, and the foamed part is connected or welded with other parts and components of the bracket, and the climate, electrical parameters, performance and other tests are carried out after filling, so as to form a separate module. This process is carried out in advance, and there is no problem of operating space; then the module can be installed as a whole in the water purifier.

[0010] The utility model covers the cold tank and the evaporator in the foamed part, which reduces the heat exchange and can effectively reduce the generation of condensation during the refrigeration process; in case of a small amount of condensation, it will be retained in the liquid accumulation groove due to the liquid accumulation groove under the bracket, and will not affect other parts in the chassis.

[0011] It can be seen that the utility model is a more reasonable technical solution in terms of the water purifier product itself or the arrangement of the production process. The utility model can also be applied to similar products in which a refrigeration unit is installed in a narrow space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The bottom plate is provided with a plurality of liquid accumulation grooves 21.

[0015] The refrigeration unit 1 has a bracket, which can be decomposed into a cold tank fixing plate 101, a cold tank bracket 102 and a compressor fixing plate 103. A cold tank 14 and an evaporator 15 are installed on the cold tank fixing plate 101, wherein a liquid level switch 17 and a UVC sterilization lamp 18 are also attached to the cold tank; the outer periphery is foamed to form a cylindrical insulation layer 16, and the liquid level switch 17 and the UVC sterilization lamp 18 extend out of the insulation layer. The condenser 12 and the cooling fan 11 are installed outside the cold tank bracket 102, and the compressor 13 is installed on the compressor fixing plate 103, and the pipeline is connected and the filter 19 is installed, and then assembled into a whole with the aforementioned foam body. The refrigeration unit is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 2 through the compressor fixing plate 103, and is located above the liquid sump 21.
