Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to an ice bucket insulation structure. Background Art

[0002] In the self-service coffee machine industry, the stable supply and efficient storage of ice cubes have become key links in order to meet the needs of making iced coffee or providing cold drinks. Traditionally, ice buckets, as the main equipment for storing ice cubes, generally adopt a multi-layer insulation design to slow down heat transfer, but the actual effect is still insufficient. The main problem is that even if the insulation materials in the multi-layer insulation layer are stacked layer by layer, their larger contact surface will still become a channel for rapid heat penetration, resulting in limited insulation performance and faster melting of ice cubes.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent (application number: 201520263561.0) discloses a "simple ice bucket", and its specification discloses: a water storage layer is added below the barrel body, a water outlet connected to the water storage layer is formed at the bottom of the barrel body, a drain port is formed at the bottom of the water storage layer, and a drain valve for connecting the water pipe is installed on the drain port. The barrel wall of the barrel body adopts a three-layer composite structure, which is composed of a resin inner layer, an intermediate insulation layer and a PVC outer layer. The utility model has a simple structure. Compared with the existing ice bucket, since a water storage layer is added below the barrel body, the melted ice water can flow directly from the water outlet of the barrel body to the water storage layer, and then be conveniently discharged through the drain port. In this way, there is no need to specially dump the melted ice water in the barrel body, and no power supply is required. It is more convenient to use and is particularly suitable for single-time fresh-keeping food. In addition, the utility model adopts a three-layer composite insulation structure, which can keep the temperature below 2°C for 8-10 hours; the above patent can prove the defects of the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, we make improvements to this and propose an ice bucket insulation structure. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention and improve the above-mentioned problem, the utility model provides an ice bucket insulation structure, including an outer shell, an ice storage bin is arranged inside the outer shell, an insulation component is arranged between the outer shell and the ice storage bin, a vacuum chamber is arranged inside the insulation component, the outer shell and the top end of the ice storage bin are fixedly connected with the same feed port, the outer shell and the bottom end of the ice storage bin are fixedly connected with the same discharge port, a two-stage sliding assembly is arranged inside the feed port, and a two-stage ice discharging assembly is arranged inside the discharge port.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the thermal insulation component includes a thermal insulation layer fixed between the outer shell and the ice storage bin, and the vacuum chamber is located inside the thermal insulation layer.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a No. 2 isolation ring is provided at the bottom end of the two No. 2 suction rings.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a switch valve located above the double-stage ice discharging assembly is provided inside the discharge port, and the switch valve is used to allow ice cubes to fall out.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a support frame is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the shell, and the support frame is used to support the shell.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the scheme of this application:

[0016] 1. The heat preservation component and vacuum chamber are provided to reduce contact through the vacuum chamber, thereby reducing heat conduction and convection.

[0028] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5, an ice bucket insulation structure, which includes an outer shell 1, an ice storage bin 2 is arranged inside the outer shell 1, an insulation component is arranged between the outer shell 1 and the ice storage bin 2, a vacuum chamber 402 is arranged inside the insulation component, and the insulation effect is achieved by utilizing the heat insulation performance of the vacuum. The vacuum is a poor conductor of heat, so the heat transfer rate can be significantly reduced, and the heat transfer can be further reduced by cooperating with the insulation component. The top ends of the outer shell 1 and the ice storage bin 2 are fixedly connected with the same feed port 31, and the bottom ends of the outer shell 1 and the ice storage bin 2 are fixedly connected with the same discharge port 32. A double-stage sliding component 5 is arranged inside the feed port 31, and a double-stage ice discharging component 6 is arranged inside the discharge port 32. The double-stage sliding component 5 and the double-stage ice discharging component 6 are used to reduce the loss of cold air when ice cubes enter and leave the ice storage bin 2.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the insulation component includes an insulation layer 401 fixed between the outer shell 1 and the ice storage bin 2 . The insulation layer 401 is used to cooperate with the vacuum chamber 402 to isolate external heat and reduce surface contact. The vacuum chamber 402 is located inside the insulation layer 401 .

[0032] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the double-stage sliding assembly 5 includes two No. 1 one-way plates 51 hinged inside the feed port 31, and the top ends of the two No. 1 one-way plates 51 are provided with No. 1 suction rings 52 fixedly connected to the outer shell 1. The No. 1 suction ring 52 is a magnet, which can suck the No. 1 one-way plate 51 to the bottom end of the No. 1 suction ring 52 to contact it.

[0033] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the two-stage ice discharging assembly 6 includes two No. 2 one-way plates 61 fixed inside the discharge port 32. The top ends of the two No. 2 one-way plates 61 are provided with No. 2 suction rings 62 fixedly connected to the inside of the shell 1. The No. 2 suction rings 62 are magnets, which can suck the No. 2 one-way plates 61 to the bottom ends of the No. 2 suction rings 62 to contact them.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The ice bucket insulation structure provided in Example 1 is further optimized. Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the bottom ends of the two No. 1 suction rings 52 are each provided with a No. 1 isolation ring 53, which is a rubber soft ring. The No. 1 isolation ring 53 is located between the No. 1 suction ring 52 and the No. 1 one-way plate 51, and the No. 1 isolation ring 53 is used to separate the No. 1 one-way plate 51 and the No. 1 suction ring 52 by a certain distance, so that the No. 1 one-way plate 51 will not fail to open when the ice cube is on the No. 1 one-way plate 51 due to the excessive suction force of the No. 1 suction ring 52, and at the same time, the sealing is increased.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 5As shown, the bottom ends of the two No. 2 suction rings 62 are each provided with a No. 2 isolation ring 63, which is a rubber soft ring. The No. 2 isolation ring 63 is located between the No. 2 suction ring 62 and the No. 2 one-way plate 61, and the No. 2 isolation ring 63 is used to separate the No. 2 one-way plate 61 and the No. 2 suction ring 62 by a certain distance, so that the No. 2 one-way plate 61 will not fail to open when the ice cubes are on the No. 2 one-way plate 61 due to the excessive suction force of the No. 2 suction ring 62, and at the same time, the sealing is increased.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inside of the discharge port 32 is provided with a switch valve 9 located above the double-stage ice discharge assembly 6. The switch valve 9 is used to make the ice cubes fall out. The switch valve 9 is electric. When the ice cubes need to flow out through the discharge port 32, the switch valve 9 is started to open the valve to make the ice cubes fall onto the double-stage ice discharge assembly 6. The top ends of the No. 1 suction ring 52 and the No. 2 suction ring 62 are provided with inwardly inclined surfaces to prevent the ice cubes from being stuck on the top ends of the No. 1 suction ring 52 or the No. 2 suction ring 62.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a support frame 8 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the shell 1, and the support frame 8 is used to support the shell 1 to facilitate the connection of the conduit to the discharge port 32, so that the ice cubes can be transported to the designated position along the conduit after sliding out.

[0039] The use process of the ice bucket insulation structure provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0040] When ice cubes need to be poured into the ice storage bin 2 for storage, the ice cubes are poured into the feed port 31, and the ice cubes will fall onto the first one-way plate 51. The one-way plate 51 is separated from the one-way ring 52 due to the weight of the ice cubes, and the first layer entrance is opened. When the ice cubes fall onto the second one-way plate 51, the first one-way plate 51 is sucked upwards due to the suction force of the one-way ring 52, thereby sealing the first layer exit and reducing the outflow of cold air. When the ice cubes fall onto the second one-way plate 51, the one-way plate 51 is flipped downwards due to gravity, causing the ice cubes to fall into the ice storage bin 2. In this way, the feed port 31 is always in a closed state, reducing the loss of cold air, and the ice cubes are kept warm by the insulation layer 401 and the vacuum chamber 402.

[0041] When the ice cubes need to flow out of the discharge port 32, the switch valve 9 is opened to allow the ice cubes to fall into the first No. 2 one-way plate 61. Due to the weight of the ice cubes, the ice cubes are opened and fall onto the second No. 2 one-way plate 61. The ice cubes are separated from the first No. 2 one-way plate 61 and are sucked upward by the No. 2 suction ring 62, thereby closing the outlet. The ice cubes flow out from the inside of the discharge port 32 through the opening of the second No. 2 one-way plate 61.
