[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a compact cold drink machine, including a box body 1, a bracket 2, a freezing cylinder 3, a compressor 4, a heat exchanger 5, a stirrer, a driving motor 6, and a control panel 7;

[0035] The box body 1 is provided with a containing cavity 10, the bracket 2 is arranged in the containing cavity 10, and the bracket 2 divides the containing cavity 10 into a stirring and preparing layer and a heat exchange and refrigeration layer; the stirrer is installed in the freezing cylinder 3, and the driving motor 6 drives the stirrer to rotate; the freezing cylinder 3, the driving motor 6, and the control panel 7 are arranged in the stirring and preparing layer; the compressor 4 and the heat exchanger 5 are detachably connected to the heat exchange and refrigeration layer; the control panel 7 is electrically connected to the driving motor 6 and the compressor 4 respectively;

[0036] The compressor 4 and the heat exchanger 5 are connected by a heat exchange circulation pipeline, and the compressor 4 is provided with a refrigeration circulation pipeline. The refrigeration circulation pipeline passes through the bracket 2 and is wound around the outer periphery of the freezing cylinder 3. One end of the refrigeration circulation pipeline is communicated with the cold source output end of the compressor 4, and the other end of the refrigeration circulation pipeline is communicated with the heat source input end of the compressor 4.

[0037] The compact ice cream machine divides the accommodating cavity 10 into an upper stirring and preparation layer and a lower heat exchange and refrigeration layer through the bracket 2. The freezing cylinder 3, the compressor 4, the heat exchanger 5, the stirrer, the driving motor 6 and the control panel 7 are respectively arranged on the stirring and preparation layer and the heat exchange and refrigeration layer, so that the components in the box body 1 are assembled compactly, without the need to reserve too much internal space. While ensuring that the temperature of the freezing cylinder is not affected by other components, the volume of the box body 1 is reduced, so that the overall external dimensions of the ice cream machine are reduced, thereby reducing the occupation of the tabletop area and being applicable to smaller places such as family kitchens.

[0038] The working principles of the freezing cylinder 3, the compressor 4 and the heat exchanger 5 can refer to existing ice cream machines. Through the operation of the compressor 4 and the heat exchanger 5, the refrigerant absorbs heat and changes from a liquid to a gas. Then the refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the outer wall of the freezing cylinder 3 through the refrigeration circulation pipeline, and an expansion valve is provided in the heat exchange circulation pipeline. The driving motor 6 drives the stirrer to rotate around its own axis, thereby stirring the ice cream slurry in the freezing cylinder 3, making the ice cream slurry close to the inner wall of the freezing cylinder 3 for heat exchange, and thus cooling into ice cream. The control panel 7 is used to control the compressor 4 and the driving motor 6. By controlling the start or stop of the compressor 4, the refrigeration temperature is controlled. In addition, by controlling the start or stop of the driving motor 6, the stirring of the stirrer and the stirring speed are controlled.

[0039] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a fixed housing 31 is provided outside the freezing cylinder 3. The freezing cylinder 3 is fixed to the horizontal plate 22 through the fixed housing 31.

[0040] Specifically, the bracket 2 includes a front side support frame 21, a horizontal plate 22, a first support plate 23 and a second support plate 24;

[0041] The upper end of the front side support frame 21 is detachably connected to the front end of the horizontal plate 22, and the lower end of the front side support frame 21 is detachably connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 10; the upper end of the first support plate 23 is detachably connected to the rear end of the horizontal plate 22, and the lower end of the first support plate 23 is detachably connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 10; the lower end of the second support plate 24 is connected to the top surface of the horizontal plate 22; the upper end of the second support plate 24 is detachably connected to the top of the accommodating cavity 10;

[0042] The first support plate 23 and the box body 1 cooperate to form a first accommodating cavity, and the heat exchanger 5 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity; the second support plate 24 and the box body 1 cooperate to form a second accommodating cavity, and the control panel 7 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity.

[0043] The upper end of the second support plate 24 is provided with a support plate fixing screw hole. Through the cooperation of the screw and the support plate fixing screw hole, the upper end of the second support plate 24 is screwed to the box body 1, thereby realizing fixation.

[0044] With the above structure, while reducing the number of brackets, the assembly layout of the bracket 2 is optimized, and the space is reasonably utilized, so that the installation positions of components such as the freezing cylinder 3, the compressor 4, the heat exchanger 5, the stirrer, the drive motor 6, and the control panel 7 are more compact, reducing the volume of the cold drink machine, realizing the miniaturization of the cold drink machine, and adapting to environments with relatively small spaces such as family kitchens.

[0045] Specifically, the horizontal plate 22 is recessed downward to form an installation cavity 220. The bottom of the installation cavity 220 is provided with an inclined surface inclined toward one side in the length direction of the box body 1. The fixed end of the drive motor 6 abuts against the inclined surface, so that the drive motor 6 is inclined toward one side in the length direction of the box body 1.

[0046] With the above structure, by installing the drive motor 6 obliquely, the space is reasonably utilized. In the case of using a drive motor 6 with the same length, the longitudinal space required for installing the drive motor 6 is reduced, and there is no need to reserve too much height to accommodate the drive motor 6, reducing the overall height of the box body, and further realizing the miniaturization of the cold drink machine.

[0047] Preferably, the heat exchanger 5 is vertically installed in the first accommodating cavity; and the first support plate 23 is provided with a through hole, and a fan 231 is arranged on one side of the through hole close to the compressor 4.

[0048] The heat exchanger 5 can refer to the existing radiator and is composed of a cover body and multiple sections of heat exchange tubes. The heat exchanger 5 is vertically installed, and the multiple sections of heat exchange tubes are vertically installed on the cover body. The adjacent heat exchange tubes are connected by elbow pipes to form multiple sections of S-shaped heat dissipation pipelines.

[0049] The fan 231 plays an auxiliary heat dissipation role. By rotating the fan blades to drive the air flow, the air around the compressor 4 is extracted, and an air flow is generated, so that the air flow passes through the heat exchanger 5 and then is discharged outside the box body, enabling the heat naturally transferred from the compressor 4 to the surrounding air to be quickly taken away by the wind force, improving the efficiency of the air flow taking away heat, and improving the heat dissipation effect of the compressor 4.

[0050] With the above structure, the space utilization rate of the accommodating cavity 10 is improved, the width of the box body is reduced, the overall external dimension of the cold drink machine is reduced, and the occupation of the tabletop area is further reduced.

[0051] Further, a first heat dissipation louvre window 11 and a second heat dissipation louvre window 12 are provided on the rear side wall of the box body 1. The position of the first heat dissipation louvre window 11 is adapted to the position of the first accommodation cavity, and the position of the second heat dissipation louvre window 12 is adapted to the position of the second accommodation cavity.

[0052] The position of the first heat dissipation louvre window 11 corresponds to the position of the first accommodation cavity, and the position of the second heat dissipation louvre window 12 corresponds to the position of the second accommodation cavity, which plays a role in assisting heat dissipation and avoids the heat generated by the heat exchanger 5 and the control panel 7 from accumulating in the accommodation cavity 10.

[0053] Furthermore, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 13 are provided at intervals on both the left and right sides of the box body 1.

[0054] The heat dissipation holes 13 play a role in assisting heat dissipation. The rotation direction of the fan 231 can be set so that air enters from the first heat dissipation louvre window 11 and the second heat dissipation louvre window 12 and is discharged from the heat dissipation holes 13, or air can enter from the heat dissipation holes 13 and is discharged from the first heat dissipation louvre window 11 and the second heat dissipation louvre window 12.

[0055] Specifically, a raw pulp inlet 14 is provided on the top surface of the box body 1. The raw pulp inlet 14 is communicated with the feeding end of the freezing cylinder 3. An ice cream discharge head 15 is provided on the front side wall of the box body 1. The ice cream discharge head 15 is communicated with the discharging end of the freezing cylinder 3.

[0056] With the above structure, the user can inject ice cream raw pulp through the raw pulp inlet 14 and discharge ice cream from the ice cream discharge head 15. The space at the top of the box body 1 is utilized as the feeding port, and there is no need to additionally provide a feeding device on the side wall of the box body 1, reducing the width or length of the box body 1 and shrinking the overall external dimension of the cold drink machine.

[0057] Specifically, the compressor 4 is vertically installed so that the cylinder center line of the compressor 4 is perpendicular to the bottom of the cavity of the box body 1.

[0058] With the above structure, the cylinder center line of the compressor 4 is perpendicular to the ground, improving the space utilization rate of the accommodation cavity 10, reducing the width of the box body, shrinking the overall external dimension of the cold drink machine, and further reducing the occupation of the tabletop area.

[0059] Optionally, a concave cavity 16 and an ice cream placement rack 17 are provided on the left side wall and / or the right side wall of the box body 1. One end of the ice cream placement rack 17 is hinged to the concave cavity 16. The size and shape of the concave cavity 16 are adapted to the ice cream placement rack 17.

[0060] The concave cavity 16 is used to accommodate the ice cream placing rack 17; one end of the ice cream placing rack 17 is hinged to the concave cavity 16. When the ice cream placing rack 17 is not needed, the ice cream placing rack 17 is directly stored in the concave cavity 16. When the ice cream placing rack 17 is needed to place the whipped ice cream or ice cream cone, the ice cream placing rack 17 is broken out from the concave cavity 16, and one end of the ice cream placing rack 17 is tightly pressed against the lower cavity wall of the concave cavity 16, so that the whipped ice cream or ice cream cone can be placed in the through hole of the ice cream placing rack 17. The above structure can reasonably utilize space and avoid the ice cream placing rack 17 occupying space when it is empty.

[0061] Specifically, the control panel 7 and / or the heat exchanger 5 are located at the edge of the bracket 2 and are arranged close to the box body 1. The above structure is adopted to facilitate heat dissipation.

[0062] Specifically, the cold drink machine is an ice cream machine or a smoothie machine, and can prepare ice cream or smoothie according to the input ice cream slurry components or water content.

[0063] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementations of the present invention without creative work, and these equivalent variations or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
