[0018] The following will describe the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] The present utility model provides a refrigeration device for a water dispenser, as Figure 1 shown, comprising: a refrigerating member 1 for refrigerating the water in the water tank 8 of the water dispenser, a pressing plate 2, a refrigeration chip 3 for refrigerating the refrigerating member 1, a base 4 filled with a refrigerant, a conveying pipeline 5, and a heat dissipation assembly 6 for dissipating heat from the closed pipeline 5; one end of the refrigerating member 1 is pressed and fixed on the cold surface of the refrigeration chip 3 through the pressing plate 2; the hot surface of the refrigerating member is attached to the base 4; both the input end and the output end of the conveying pipeline 5 are communicated with the base 4 to cooperate to form a vacuum circulation pipeline; the heat dissipation assembly is installed on the spiral pipeline 53; a plurality of closed pipelines 7 are arranged side by side along the length direction inside the refrigerating member 1.

[0020] In this embodiment, the refrigerating member 1 is a plate-shaped refrigerating member 1 made of a long strip of aluminum sheet having good heat conduction performance and having a plurality of long closed pipelines 7 provided therein. The refrigerating member 1 is filled with a refrigerant. During assembly, as Figure 1-2As shown in the figure, one end of the refrigerating component is fixedly connected to the cold surface of the refrigerating chip 3 through the pressing plate 2, and the other end is placed in the water in the water tank 8 of the water dispenser. During operation, the cold surface of the refrigerating component cools the refrigerating component 1 for refrigeration so that it can freeze or make ice the water in the water tank 8. At this time, the base 4 attached to the hot surface of the refrigerating component is heated, and the refrigerant absorbs heat in the base 4 and quickly evaporates along the closed evaporation pipe 51. After absorbing heat and evaporating, the gaseous refrigerant flows downward along the pipeline under the action of gravity and evaporation pressure in the conveying pipeline 5. During this process, heat is efficiently dissipated through the heat dissipation component 6, causing the pipeline and the refrigerant to cool down and the gaseous refrigerant to liquefy. The liquefied refrigerant then flows back into the base 4 by gravity and so on. The evaporation and liquefaction process of the refrigerant circulates continuously, and the closed pipeline 7 continuously absorbs and dissipates heat, efficiently dissipating the heat on the hot surface of the refrigerating chip 3 continuously. The overall structure is stable and the installation is convenient.

[0021] Further, the closed pipeline 7 includes: an evaporation pipe 51, a return pipe 52, and a spiral pipe 53. The input end of the spiral pipe 53 is communicated with the base 4 through the evaporation pipe 51, and its output end is communicated with the base 4 through the return pipe 52. The heat dissipation component 6 is installed on the spiral pipe 53. The evaporation pipe 51, the return pipe 52, and the spiral pipe 53 are integrally formed. Specifically, the closed pipeline 7 is formed by integrally molding the evaporation pipe 51, the return pipe 52, and the spiral pipe 53, which can effectively ensure the sealing effect of the conveying pipeline 5.

[0022] Further, the heat dissipation component 6 includes: a plurality of heat dissipation fins 61 and a heat dissipation fan 62. A plurality of the heat dissipation fins 61 are installed on the spiral pipe 53 in an equidistant and side-by-side manner to form a support frame. The heat dissipation fan 62 is installed on the support frame, and its air outlet end or air inlet end faces a plurality of the heat dissipation fins 61.

[0023] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation component 6 is mainly composed of a plurality of heat dissipation fins 61 and a heat dissipation fan 62. During installation, the air inlet end or the air outlet end of the heat dissipation fan can face the heat dissipation fins to take away the heat on the heat dissipation fins. By cooperating with the heat dissipation fins 61 and the heat dissipation fan 62, the heat dissipation effect of the refrigeration device can be effectively improved, and the refrigeration effect of the device can be ensured.

[0024] Further, the refrigerating member is a plate-shaped refrigerating component 1. The thickness of the refrigerating component 1 is 0.1 - 0.6 cm.

[0025] The present utility model also provides a water dispenser, which includes the refrigeration device for the water dispenser described above.

[0026] The refrigeration device for the water dispenser of the present utility model has a simple overall structure, convenient installation, effectively saves production and processing costs, has good refrigeration performance, high cooling efficiency, and does not generate noise during use.

[0027] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present utility model belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
