[0039] Drinking water equipment is a water supply equipment used in home, commercial and industrial environments. Its main function is to provide people with drinkable water. At present, it is divided into barrel water supply and direct drinking water supply according to the water supply method. The barrel water supply type uses barreled water to supply water to the drinking water equipment, and the direct drinking water equipment has its water inlet directly connected to a water supply source such as a tap, and the direct drinking water equipment generally has a water purification function.

[0040] In order to meet the water temperature requirements of different groups of people, today's drinking water equipment has both heating and cooling functions; in the relevant refrigeration equipment, the compressor is the core component to pressurize the refrigerant, thereby promoting the gas-liquid conversion of the refrigerant, and then using the gas-liquid conversion of the refrigerant to complete the absorption and release of heat to complete refrigeration; At present, some compressors have been miniaturized and are particularly suitable for small-volume equipment such as drinking water equipment, refrigerators and small floor-standing air conditioners.

[0041] However, in order to cooperate with the heat absorption and release process of the refrigerant during the gas-liquid conversion, in addition to the compressor, a condenser and an evaporator are also needed to cooperate with the gas-liquid conversion of the refrigerant, thereby completing the heat transfer; specifically, the refrigerant after being pressurized by the compressor will become liquid, and then enter the condenser, and condense and cool down in the condenser; the cooled liquid refrigerant will enter the evaporator, and the evaporator is generally tightly fitted with the equipment or parts to be cooled, so that the heat of the equipment and parts to be cooled can be transferred to the evaporator, and the refrigerant in the evaporator will evaporate due to the heat, that is, the liquid evaporates into gas; the evaporation process of the refrigerant will take away a large amount of heat, so that the evaporator can absorb a large amount of heat from the equipment and parts to be cooled, thereby completing the refrigeration.

[0042] Based on the above, it can be found that in addition to the compressor, the cooperation of the evaporator and the condenser is still needed to complete the entire refrigeration process; and due to the heat exchange requirements, the increase in contact area is conducive to heat exchange; the larger the contact area between the evaporator and the equipment and parts to be cooled, the better, and the larger the contact area between the condenser and the air, the better. Therefore, if the actual heat exchange area of ​​the evaporator or condenser is reduced while the structure remains unchanged, the overall refrigeration effect will be reduced.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 Now, due to the requirements of actual floor space and various usage needs, the overall miniaturization of drinking water equipment has become a trend. In order to complete the miniaturization of the overall drinking water equipment without weakening the refrigeration function of the drinking water equipment itself, the utility model proposes a drinking water equipment, including a cold tank module, a compressor 3, a condensing module 4 and a base 11; wherein, a bracket 12 is arranged on the base 11, and the bracket 12 and the base 11 together form a frame 1 for supporting the overall structure; in the height direction, the cold tank module is arranged at the top, the cold tank module includes an evaporator 5, and the compressor 3 is arranged below the cold tank module, and the base 11 and the condensing module 4 are combined into one and are jointly arranged below the compressor 3; the above arrangement effectively improves the integration of the compressor 3, the evaporator 5 and the condensing module 4, and can reduce the overall volume without affecting the heat exchange of the condensing module 4 and the evaporator 5, thereby facilitating the miniaturization design of the drinking water equipment.

[0044] Specifically, in the utility model, the base 11 is hollow, and the upper end surface of the base 11 is formed with an installation cabin 113 for placing the condensation module 4. As a result, the condensation module 4 can be directly integrated with the base 11, so that the base 11 can accommodate the condensation module 4 while providing support and bearing for the overall structure, thereby reducing the actual occupied space of the overall structure, improving the integration, and facilitating the miniaturization design of the drinking water equipment.

[0045] The condensing module 4 includes a receiving seat 41 and a microchannel condenser 42. The microchannel condenser 42 includes at least one microchannel flow tube 421. The microchannel flow tube 421 is a pipeline containing multiple microchannels inside, which can increase the pipeline area through which the liquid medium flows, that is, increase the contact area between the liquid medium and the pipeline, and improve the heat dissipation effect of the liquid medium; specifically, a plurality of parallel microchannels are formed in the microchannel flow tube 421. In the present utility model, the microchannel flow tube 421 is in the shape of a flat tube, and the number of microchannels is 6, 8 or 9, which can be adjusted according to different refrigerant flow rates and the power of the compressor 3; it should be noted that the number of microchannels is not limited to the above number, and can also be 5, 7 and 10, etc. The number of microchannels can be adjusted according to actual design requirements and usage requirements; in addition, the shape of the microchannel flow tube 421 can also be changed according to actual design requirements and usage requirements, such as L-type.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the accommodating seat 41 provides support for the microchannel condenser 42, and the accommodating seat 41 can be detachably installed in the installation cabin 113, so that the condensing module 4 can be repaired or replaced later by disassembling the accommodating seat 41; the accommodating seat 41 is formed with an installation groove 411, and the installation groove 411 is used to install the microchannel condenser 42, that is, the setting of the installation groove 411 provides space for the microchannel condenser 42, further improving the integration of the overall structure. The microchannel condenser 42 also includes two connecting pipes 422, and the two ends of the microchannel flow tube 421 are respectively connected to the two connecting pipes 422. After the refrigerant is compressed by the compressor 3, it flows into the microchannel flow tube 421 through one connecting pipe 422, and then after the heat is dissipated through the microchannel flow tube 421, it enters the evaporator 5 through the other connecting pipe 422; it should be noted that the pipe openings of the two connecting pipes 422 are in the same direction. Since the compressor 3 and the evaporator 5 are both arranged above the condensing module 4, the pipe openings of the two connecting pipes 422 are both arranged upward. , thereby reducing the length of the pipeline in the overall structure and further improving the integration of the overall structure; and in order to extend the length of the microchannel flow tube 421 as much as possible, the installation groove 411 can be made rectangular first, and then the two connecting tubes 422 can be respectively placed on two of the four vertices of the bottom of the installation groove 411, thereby combining the connection line between the two connecting tubes 422 to be parallel to a groove wall of the installation groove 411, or the connection line between the two connecting tubes 422 is parallel to the diagonal line of the bottom of the installation groove 411, thereby extending the length of the microchannel flow tube 421.

[0047] In order to improve the heat dissipation effect of the microchannel flow tube 421, the microchannel flow tube 421 is serpentinely arranged in the installation groove 411, thereby increasing the actual length of the microchannel flow tube 421 in disguised form, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant in the microchannel flow tube 421 and the outside world. Correspondingly, the serpentine setting of the microchannel flow tube 421 is specifically as follows: the mounting groove 411 is rectangular, so the mounting groove 411 has four groove walls, and the planes where two adjacent groove walls are located are perpendicular to each other; therefore, from the length direction of the microchannel flow tube 421, one end of the microchannel flow tube 421 first starts from a connecting tube 422, and then extends in a direction parallel to a groove wall and perpendicular to the adjacent groove wall of this groove wall, and when it reaches the groove wall perpendicular to its length direction, it bends 180° to extend in the opposite direction, and when it reaches the other groove wall, it bends 180° again to extend, and repeats the cycle until it is connected with another connecting tube 422; the above-mentioned setting can extend the length of the microchannel flow tube 421 as much as possible, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the microchannel flow tube 421; in addition, the distance between the tube walls of the microchannel flow tube 421 can be made as close as possible without interfering with each other, so that the length of the microchannel flow tube 421 in the mounting groove 411 can be maximized.

[0048] It should be noted that when there are more than two microchannel flow tubes 421, the above method can be used in the same way, that is, the depth of the mounting groove 411 is increased so that multiple microchannel flow tubes 421 are arranged side by side; of course, multiple microchannel flow tubes 421 can also be arranged side by side, that is, multiple microchannel flow tubes 421 are as close as possible, and only one microchannel flow tube 421 is in contact with the groove wall of the mounting groove 411 each time it is bent.

[0049] Another arrangement of the microchannel flow tube 421 can also achieve heat dissipation, that is, directly connecting the microchannel flow tube 421 to the two connecting tubes 422; it should be noted that the microchannel flow tube 421 at this time does not bend 180°, that is, the microchannel flow tube 421 has a portion parallel to a groove wall of the installation groove 411 or parallel to the diagonal line of the groove bottom of the installation groove 411, and this portion accounts for no less than 50% of the length of the microchannel flow tube 421; in other words, most of the microchannel flow tube 421 is parallel to a groove wall of the installation groove 411 or the diagonal line of the groove bottom of the installation groove 411, so that the maximum length of the microchannel flow tube 421 under this arrangement. It should be noted that the above arrangement is more suitable for the design requirements of multiple microchannel flow tubes 421, and when there are multiple microchannel flow tubes 421, some of the microchannel flow tubes 421 can be bent less than 180° to further increase the length of the microchannel flow tube 421.

[0050] In order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the microchannel flow tube 421, a heat sink 43 is provided between two adjacent microchannel flow tubes 421, or a heat sink 43 is provided between adjacent tube walls of the microchannel flow tube 421. The heat sink 43 is also called a fin. When heat is transferred to the heat sink 43 via the microchannel flow tube 421, the heat sink 43 has a larger surface area, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of heat dissipation to the external environment. It should be noted that, generally speaking, in order to ensure the heat dissipation effect, the microchannel flow tube 421, the receiving seat 41 and the heat sink 43 are all made of heat-conducting metal materials, such as aluminum, which can further improve The heat dissipation efficiency of the microchannel flow tube 421; in addition, the use of metal materials for the above-mentioned components also facilitates the assembly and fixation of the various components. For example, the microchannel flow tube 421 is welded in the mounting groove 411, and the welding between the microchannel flow tube 421 and the mounting groove 411 can further enhance the heat dissipation effect of the microchannel flow tube 421, and further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the microchannel flow tube 421; in the utility model, there are multiple heat sinks 43, that is, multiple heat sinks 43 are arranged between two adjacent microchannel flow tubes 421 or between adjacent tube walls of the microchannel flow tube 421, so as to further improve the heat dissipation effect of the microchannel flow tube 421.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 It should be emphasized that, based on the above idea, a heat sink 43 can also be welded between the outer tube wall of the microchannel flow tube 421 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 411, so as to further increase the overall heat dissipation area of ​​the condensation module 4 to obtain a better heat dissipation effect; but considering that the gap between the outer wall of the microchannel flow tube 421 and the mounting groove 411 is relatively narrow, which is not conducive to the subsequent welding operation, a connecting piece 44 can be set in advance, and now a plurality of heat sinks 43 are welded between the connecting piece 44 and the tube wall of the microchannel flow tube 421, and then the entire microchannel condenser 42 is placed in the mounting groove 411 together with the connecting piece 44, and then the connecting piece 44 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 411 are welded; the setting of the connecting piece 44 can reduce the difficulty of installing the heat sink 43 between the groove wall of the mounting groove 411 and the microchannel flow tube 421, and improve the simplicity of the overall structure during assembly.

[0052] Specifically, in order to fix the accommodating seat 41 in the installation chamber 113, the photo album relative to the accommodating seat 41 is extended to form a connecting portion 412, and the connecting portion 412 is detachably connected to the base 11; in the utility model, the connecting portion 412 and the base 11 can be fixed by bolts, for example, a mounting hole 413 is provided on the connecting portion 412, and a connecting groove 112 is provided on the base 11, and the length direction of the connecting groove 112 is parallel to the length direction of the connecting portion 412. When it is necessary to fix the accommodating seat 41, an expansion bolt can be used to pass through the fixing hole and fit into the connecting groove 112 to complete the fixing of the accommodating seat 41. Other interference fit methods can also be used to take advantage of The fixing holes and the connecting grooves 112 are used to fix the accommodating seat 41. It should be noted that the pipelines for the refrigerant to enter the condensing module 4 through the compressor 3 and to enter the evaporator 5 through the condensing module 4 are generally made of metal. The length direction of the connecting groove 112 is set parallel to the length direction of the connecting part 412. In addition, the fixing holes and the connecting grooves 112 are matched, so that the accommodating seat 41 can fine-tune its position in the installation cabin 113 according to the actual position of the pipeline during the actual installation process, thereby reducing the possibility of the metal pipeline being subjected to stress and damage during installation, ensuring the integrity of the overall structure, and from another level, also reducing the installation difficulty of the installer during the actual installation process.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 In the utility model, due to the hollow setting of the base 11, it is possible for the condensing module 4 to have upper and lower air convection. The air convection at the condensing module 4 can greatly improve the condensation effect of the condensing module 4 on the refrigerant. In order to promote the occurrence of air convection at the condensing module 4, an air outlet 414 can be opened at the bottom of the accommodating seat 41 to promote the generation of air convection.

[0054] Based on the above ideas, in order to keep the air at the condensing module 4 flowing to improve the cooling effect of the condensing module 4 on the refrigerant, a fan assembly 6 can be arranged inside the base 11. The arrangement of the fan assembly 6 will force the air at the condensing module 4 to flow, thereby further improving the overall condensation effect of the condensing module 4 on the refrigerant; it is necessary to discuss that the fan assembly 6 includes a fan body 62, which can make the fan body 62 blow upward, that is, the wind generated by the fan body 62 blows toward the bottom of the compressor 3, which will make the air flow rate at the condensing module 4 reach the maximum, but because the condensing module 4 will emit heat, and the compressor 3 is arranged above the condensing module 4, the refrigerant at the bottom of the compressor 3 may absorb heat, thereby causing the power of the compressor 3 to decrease; and if the fan assembly 6 blows in a direction away from the compressor 3, a stable air flow can be generated at the condensing module 4. Although the air flow rate is lower than that of the aforementioned method, the heat emitted by the condensing module 4 will be blown away, reducing the probability of ineffective heat absorption of the refrigerant in the compressor 3.

[0055] In order to install the fan assembly 6, a pull-out groove 111 is provided on one side wall of the base 11, that is, the fan assembly 6 as a whole can slide in the pull-out groove 111 similar to a drawer; the cooperation between the fan assembly 6 and the pull-out groove 111 makes the installation of the fan assembly 6 as a whole simpler, and further improves the simplicity of the overall structure during assembly; in addition, the pull-out method also facilitates the subsequent inspection or replacement of the fan assembly 6; for example, drinking water equipment generally reserves one or more inspection ports, and the pull-out groove 111 can be directed to a certain inspection port, so that when the cooling effect of the drinking water equipment is not good or there is a problem, the inspection port can be used to directly check whether the fan assembly 6 is faulty; and thus the pull-out setting is not only convenient for installation, but also convenient for subsequent maintenance.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 Specifically, the fan assembly 6 includes a fan body 62 and a mounting seat 61. The two ends of a side wall of the mounting seat 61 extend relatively along its length direction to form a limiting portion 612, and the limiting portion 612 can fix the fan assembly 6 on the base 11; in the utility model, a first fixing hole 611 is formed on the limiting portion 612, and a second fixing hole 111b corresponding to the first fixing hole 611 is formed on the base 11, so that a bolt can be used to pass through the first fixing hole 611 and be threadedly connected with the second fixing hole 111b, thereby completing the fixation of the fan assembly 6.

[0057] It should be noted that the mounting base 61 of the fan assembly 6 is also provided with a through hole 613 that is compatible with the air outlet 414, thereby avoiding the possibility of the mounting base 61 interfering with the air flow; in addition, the mounting base 61 can be fixed in other ways; for example, the first fixing hole 611 is changed into a buckle, and the second fixing hole 111b is changed into a slot, so that the mounting base 61 can be fixed in the pull-out slot 111 by utilizing the combination of the buckle and the slot; of course, the fan assembly 6 can also be fixed to the base 11 in other ways, which can be flexibly used according to specific design requirements.

[0058] In the utility model, the fan body 62 is installed in the mounting base 61, and the mounting base 61 can provide support and protection for the fan body 62; specifically, the fan body 62 has a shell 621, and the shell 621 is fixedly arranged in the mounting base 61, that is, the mounting base 61 is covered on the shell 621 and fixedly connected with the shell 621; and in order to supply power to the fan body 62, a wire hole 614 is opened on the mounting base 61, and a wire channel 622 is provided on the shell 621 of the fan body 62, and the wires can pass through the wire hole 614 and the wire channel 622 to supply power to the fan body 62; the setting of the wire hole 614 and the wire channel 622 provides an accommodation space for the routing of the wires, further improving the integration of the overall structure.

[0059] Since the base 11 is hollow, the pull-out groove 111 alone cannot support the fan assembly 6 as a whole, so a plurality of hanging arms 114 are also provided in the base 11, and the hanging arms 114 are used to support the mounting seat 61; in the utility model, two groups of hanging arms 114 are symmetrically provided inside the base 11, and each group has a total of 3 hanging arms 114; the hanging arms 114 include connecting arms 114a and bearing arms 114b, one end of the connecting arm 114a is fixed to the base 11, and the bearing arm 114b is provided at the other end of the main body. On one end, the length direction of the connecting arm 114a is perpendicular to the length direction of the supporting arm 114b. It can be generally understood that when observed along the pulling direction of the fan assembly 6, the connecting arm 114a and the supporting arm 114b are L-shaped, that is, when the fan assembly 6 is placed into the base 11, the connecting arm 114a will cooperate with the outer wall of the mounting seat 61 to block the displacement of the mounting seat 61 in the left and right directions, and the supporting arm 114b will support the mounting seat 61, thereby supporting the entire fan assembly 6.

[0060] In the present invention, the hanging arms 114 belonging to the same group are distributed in a straight line in the base 11, and the two hanging arms 114 far away from each other are respectively connected to the opposite side walls in the base 11; it should be pointed out that the base 11 can be made of metal material or plastic integrally molded, and the connection between the hanging arms 114 and the inner wall of the base 11 here means that the two are connected together during molding; in order to improve the structural strength of the hanging arms 114, reinforcing ribs 114c can be provided on the side of the hanging arms 114 away from the mounting seat 61; in the present invention, the middle hanging arm 114 among the hanging arms 114 belonging to the same group is provided with two reinforcing ribs 114c, and the other two hanging arms 114 are each provided with a reinforcing rib 114c, and the number and specific design position of the reinforcing ribs 114c can be determined according to the actual weight and design requirements of the fan assembly 6, and the present invention will not repeat them again.

[0061] In summary, in the present invention, the condensing module 4 and the base 11 are actually integrated into one, thereby fully utilizing the volume of the base 11, thereby reducing the volume of the overall structure without affecting the refrigeration effect, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the drinking water equipment.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2, and based on the above-mentioned idea of ​​miniaturization of drinking water equipment, in the utility model, the cold tank module also includes a water tank 2. To match the shape of the base 11, the water tank 2 is roughly square, and the evaporator 5 is sleeved on the tank body, so that the refrigerant in the evaporator 5 can instantly take away the heat of the water tank 2 when evaporating. In order to ensure the cooling effect of the evaporator 5 on the water tank 2, an insulation box 7 can be wrapped around the outer periphery of the water tank 2 to keep it warm. The insulation box 7 can be made of insulation materials such as foam sponge; specifically, the bracket 12 is installed on the lower surface of the water tank 2, and the bracket 12 has two legs, the two legs The legs are respectively fixed at both ends of the base 11; in summary, the evaporator 5 is mounted on the outer surface of the water tank 2, and the water tank 2 is installed on the top of the bracket 12, the bottom end of the bracket 12 is installed on the base 11, and the condensing module 4 is integrated with the base 11; it should be noted that since the bracket 12 itself has a height, an installation space will be formed between the cold tank module and the condensing module 4, so that the compressor 3 can be installed in the installation space; the above-mentioned structural arrangement further improves the integration of the overall structure, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the drinking water equipment.

[0063] From the perspective of the refrigerant flow path, the refrigerant enters the compressor 3 from the air intake port of the compressor 3, and then forms a high-pressure refrigerant after being pressurized by the compressor 3, and the high-pressure refrigerant is in liquid state; then the high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows into the microchannel flow tube 421 in the condensation module 4 to dissipate heat, and the high-pressure liquid refrigerant cooled by the condensation module 4 will flow into the evaporator 5. The outer surfaces of the evaporator 5 and the water tank 2 are tightly fitted, so that the high-pressure liquid refrigerant will absorb heat and evaporate after entering the evaporator 5, and will be converted into a low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. Then the low-pressure gaseous refrigerant will flow back into the compressor 3 and be pressurized for circulation, thereby completing the refrigeration.
