The principle is to place the soy beverage in the evaporator and transport the refrigerant liquid to the delivery pipe of the evaporator. The refrigerant includes Freon, alkane, ammonia and carbon dioxide, etc. The refrigerant absorbs the heat of the soy beverage and then vaporizes, taking away the heat of the soy beverage, thereby achieving the cooling of the soy beverage. This only uses this heat exchange method to cool the soy beverage, and the cooling efficiency is low, and the soy beverage cannot be cooled quickly.

[0003] Therefore, a soy beverage quick cooling device that solves the above problems is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] A soy beverage rapid cooling device includes a horizontally arranged cooling tank body, the cooling tank body including a first cooling tank body and a second cooling tank body arranged integrally, the first cooling tank body being provided with a beverage liquid inlet, a first refrigerant liquid inlet, and a first refrigerant gas outlet, a plurality of beverage delivery pipes being horizontally arranged in the first cooling tank body, the two ends of each beverage delivery pipe being respectively connected to the beverage liquid inlet and the interior of the second cooling tank body, a refrigerant dispersion assembly for dispersing the refrigerant being provided at the first refrigerant liquid inlet, the refrigerant dispersion assembly being arranged above the beverage delivery pipe;

[0007] The second cooling tank body is provided with a beverage outlet, a second refrigerant liquid inlet and a second refrigerant gas outlet. A plurality of vertically arranged baffles are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second cooling tank body. The baffles are staggered up and down to form an S-shaped flow cavity inside the second cooling tank body. The two ends of the S-shaped flow cavity are respectively connected to the beverage delivery pipe and the beverage outlet. The second cooling tank body is provided with a plurality of U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipes for connecting the second refrigerant liquid inlet and the second refrigerant gas outlet. The U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipes are fixedly installed on the baffles.

[0008] Also included is a cooling system having the soy beverage quick cooling device.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the refrigerant dispersion assembly includes a liquid storage tank and a liquid equalizing tank fixedly installed on the inner wall of the first cooling tank body. The liquid storage tank is arranged below the first refrigerant outlet, and a plurality of overflow grooves are arranged on the side wall of the liquid storage tank. The bottom of each overflow groove is higher than the bottom surface of the liquid storage tank. The liquid equalizing tank is arranged below the liquid storage tank, and a plurality of drip holes are arranged at the bottom of the liquid equalizing tank.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a refrigerant recovery port for recovering the refrigerant is provided on the first cooling tank body, and the refrigerant recovery port is connected to the first refrigerant liquid inlet. Along the flow direction of the refrigerant, a one-way valve is provided on the pipeline between the refrigerant recovery port and the first refrigerant liquid inlet.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the cooling system includes a compressor for compressing the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, the first refrigerant outlet and the second refrigerant outlet are both connected to the air intake of the compressor, the air outlet of the compressor is connected to a condenser, the liquid outlet ends of the condenser are both connected to the first refrigerant inlet and the second refrigerant inlet, and the cooling water outlet and cooling water inlet on the condenser are both connected to a cooling water tower.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a low-pressure controller is provided at the liquid outlet of the condenser, and a high-pressure controller is provided at the air intake of the compressor. Along the flow direction of the refrigerant, a first drying filter and a first expansion valve are sequentially provided on the pipeline between the liquid outlet of the condenser and the first refrigerant inlet, and a second drying filter and a second expansion valve are sequentially provided on the pipeline between the liquid outlet of the condenser and the second refrigerant inlet.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a valve is provided at both the beverage inlet and the beverage outlet.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] Since the soy beverage rapid cooling device includes an integrally arranged first cooling tank body and a second cooling tank body, during the use of the device, the soy beverage enters the beverage delivery pipe after entering the first cooling tank body. At the same time, the refrigerant is evenly dispersed and dripped onto the beverage delivery pipe through the refrigerant dispersion component. After the diversion of the beverage delivery pipe and the dispersion of the refrigerant by the refrigerant dispersion component, the heat exchange area for the first heat exchange between the soy beverage and the refrigerant is increased, so that the refrigerant fully absorbs the heat of the soy beverage, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the soy beverage. After completing the first cooling, the soy beverage enters the S-shaped circulation cavity, and the soy beverage is cooled between the S-shaped circulation cavity and the U-shaped circulation cavity. The U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipe contacts the pipe wall, and the refrigerant is diverted by the U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipe, which increases the heat exchange surface area of ​​the second heat exchange between the refrigerant and the soy beverage, so that the refrigerant in the U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipe quickly absorbs the heat of the soy beverage in the S-shaped circulation cavity, realizing the second heat exchange between the soy beverage and the refrigerant. In the present utility model, the soy beverage is diverted by the beverage delivery pipe and undergoes the first heat exchange with the dispersed refrigerant, realizing the initial rapid cooling of the soy beverage, and then the soy beverage undergoes the second heat exchange with the refrigerant in the U-shaped tube in the S-shaped delivery cavity, realizing the rapid cooling of the soy beverage and improving the cooling efficiency of the soy beverage.

[0016] Since the soy beverage rapid cooling device includes a refrigerant dispersion component, the refrigerant flows from the first refrigerant outlet to the liquid storage tank. Since the bottom of each overflow groove is higher than the bottom surface of the liquid storage tank, the refrigerant will not flow out immediately after entering the liquid storage tank, but will be stored in the liquid storage tank first. When the liquid level line of the refrigerant in the liquid storage tank is higher than the bottom of the overflow groove, the refrigerant will overflow from the overflow groove into the liquid equalizing tank. After the refrigerant flows into the liquid equalizing tank, multiple streams of liquid are formed through the drip holes and are evenly distributed on the outer wall of each beverage delivery pipe, and the first heat exchange is performed with the soy beverage in the beverage delivery pipe. In the utility model, the setting of the liquid storage tank enables the refrigerant to flow into the liquid equalizing tank in an overflow manner. At this time, the flow rate of the refrigerant is greatly reduced, which slows down the impact of the liquid refrigerant on the liquid equalizing tank, so that the refrigerant can flow evenly into the liquid equalizing tank.

The two ends of the S-shaped flow cavity 12 are respectively connected to the beverage delivery pipe 7 and the beverage outlet 8. A number of U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipes 13 for connecting the second refrigerant liquid inlet 9 and the second refrigerant air outlet 10 are provided in the second cooling tank body 3. The U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipes 13 are fixedly installed on the baffles 11.

[0025] The invention also comprises a cooling system with a soy beverage quick cooling device.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerant dispersion assembly includes a liquid storage tank 14 and a liquid balancing tank 15 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the first cooling tank body 2. The liquid storage tank 14 is arranged below the first refrigerant outlet. A plurality of overflow grooves 16 are arranged on the side wall of the liquid storage tank 14. The bottom of each overflow groove 16 is higher than the bottom surface of the liquid storage tank 14. The liquid balancing tank 15 is arranged below the liquid storage tank 14. A plurality of drip holes 17 are arranged at the bottom of the liquid balancing tank 15.

[0027] Among them, a refrigerant recovery port 18 for recovering refrigerant is provided on the first cooling tank body 2. The refrigerant recovery port 18 is connected to the first refrigerant liquid inlet 5. Along the flow direction of the refrigerant, a one-way valve 19 is provided on the pipeline between the refrigerant recovery port 18 and the first refrigerant liquid inlet 5. In the present utility model, the setting of the refrigerant recovery port 18 can recycle and reuse the unvaporized refrigerant liquid, so that the refrigerant can be fully vaporized to avoid residue in the first cooling tank body 2.

[0028] In addition, the cooling system includes a compressor 20 for compressing the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The first refrigerant outlet 6 and the second refrigerant outlet 10 are both connected to the air intake of the compressor 20. The air outlet of the compressor 20 is connected to the condenser 21. The liquid outlet ends of the condenser 21 are both connected to the first refrigerant inlet 5 and the second refrigerant inlet 9.

[0029] In addition, a low-pressure controller 23 is provided at the liquid outlet of the condenser 21, and a high-pressure controller 24 is provided at the air intake of the compressor 20. Along the flow direction of the refrigerant, a first drying filter 25 and a first expansion valve 26 are sequentially provided on the pipeline between the liquid outlet of the condenser 21 and the first refrigerant inlet 5, and a second drying filter 27 and a second expansion valve 28 are sequentially provided on the pipeline between the liquid outlet of the condenser 21 and the second refrigerant inlet 9.

[0030] Secondly, a valve 29 is provided at each of the beverage inlet 4 and the beverage outlet 8 .

[0031] The second cooling tank body 3 is provided with a thermometer for detecting the temperature of the soy beverage in the second cooling tank body 3 , which is not marked in the figure.

[0032] The method of using the utility model is as follows:

[0033] In the first step, the compressor 20 compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state. The compressed refrigerant enters the condenser 21, where the cooling water absorbs the heat of the refrigerant and the refrigerant condenses into a high-pressure liquid state.

[0034] In the second step, a portion of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the first drying filter 25 and the first expansion valve 26 in sequence and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant first flows into the liquid storage tank 14 through the first refrigerant inlet 5, then overflows into the equalizing tank 15 through the overflow groove 16, and then drips from the dripping hole 17 to the outer wall of the beverage delivery pipe 7. At the same time, the soy beverage enters the first cooling tank body 2 from the beverage inlet 4, and then is diverted into the beverage delivery pipe 7 and delivered to the second cooling tank body 3. The refrigerant absorbs the heat of the soy beverage in the beverage delivery pipe 7 and then vaporizes and is discharged from the first refrigerant outlet 6, thus realizing the first heat exchange between the refrigerant and the soy beverage, and achieving preliminary cooling of the soy beverage.

[0035] In the third step, another part of the high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the second drying filter 27 and the second expansion valve 28 in sequence and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is diverted into the U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipe 13 through the second refrigerant liquid inlet 9. At the same time, the soy beverage enters the S-shaped circulation cavity 12 after completing the first heat exchange through the beverage delivery pipe 7. The soy beverage undergoes a second heat exchange with the refrigerant in the U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipe 13 in the S-shaped circulation cavity 12, so that the soy beverage is quickly cooled. After cooling, the soy beverage can be discharged from the beverage outlet 8 for filling.

[0036] In the fourth step, the refrigerant in the U-shaped refrigerant delivery pipe 13 absorbs the heat of the soy beverage and vaporizes, and is discharged from the second refrigerant outlet 10. The refrigerant gas discharged from the first refrigerant outlet 6 and the second refrigerant outlet 10 returns to the compressor 20 to be prepared for the next cycle.

[0037] In summary, in the present invention, the soy beverage first undergoes a first heat exchange with the dispersed refrigerant in the beverage delivery pipe, thereby achieving initial cooling of the soy beverage. Then, the soy beverage undergoes a second heat exchange with the refrigerant in the U-shaped tube in the S-shaped delivery cavity, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the soy beverage and improving the cooling efficiency of the soy beverage.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
