Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ice-water integrated machines, in particular to a high-efficiency condensation-evaporation cycle ice-making pipeline system. Background Art

[0002] An all-in-one ice and water machine usually refers to a drinking water device that integrates cooling, heating and purification functions. This device can provide users with clean and delicious ice water or hot water to meet people's drinking water needs in different occasions. The all-in-one ice and water machine can provide ice water or hot water as needed. The cooling function is usually achieved through a built-in refrigeration system, which can cool the water to a suitable drinking temperature; and the heating function heats the water to a boiling or drinking temperature through a heating element. The all-in-one ice and water machine usually uses a touch screen or a button-type operation interface. Users can choose cooling, heating or purification functions according to their needs. The operation is simple and easy to understand. The all-in-one ice and water machine can provide families with clean and delicious drinking water to meet the drinking water needs of family members in different occasions.

[0003] This type of ice and water integrated machine has an ice-making structure inside, and most of them use a flow-type ice-making structure. This structure allows flowing water to flow through the evaporator, continuously cooling the water so that it condenses into ice cubes on the surface of the evaporator and then falls off. Because when using this water dispenser, users may pour out ice water. After taking out the ice water, the low-temperature water inside will be reduced, and room temperature water will need to be used for ice making, which greatly reduces the condensation efficiency of ice cubes. At the same time, in order to ensure that the volume of the water dispenser does not occupy too much space, generally only one water storage tank is provided for refrigeration and ice making.

[0013] (III) Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a highly efficient condensation and evaporation cycle ice-making pipeline system, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This high-efficiency condensation evaporation cycle ice-making pipeline system, the cooling module first contacts the refrigerant with the evaporator of the ice-making module through the condenser tube, effectively reducing the temperature of the evaporator and accelerating the ice-making process. Subsequently, the refrigerant exchanges heat with the uncondensed water in the cold water tank, further reducing the water temperature and increasing the condensation rate of the water, thereby improving the overall ice-making efficiency. After the refrigerant in the cooling module contacts the evaporator, it is not directly discharged, but continues to exchange heat with the water in the cold water tank, realizing the secondary use of the refrigerant and improving energy utilization. Since the temperature of the refrigerant rises after contacting the evaporator, when it contacts the cold water When the water in the tank is exchanging heat, the water temperature will not drop below the freezing point quickly, thus avoiding premature condensation of the water in the cold water tank, ensuring smooth water flow and stable ice-making process. The water dispenser body adopts a frame structure with a reasonable internal layout. The pumping module, ice-making module and cooling module are arranged in sequence, making the entire system compact and easy to install and maintain. At the same time, the modules are connected by condensing pipes to achieve efficient circulation of refrigerant and water, thereby improving the overall performance of the system. While making ice, the system can also transport the cold water in the cold water tank to the outlet through the cold water pump to provide cold drink services, meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0015] 2. This high-efficiency condensation-evaporation cycle ice-making piping system features an ice filter and a storage bin below the evaporator in the ice-making module. The ice filter is a flat plate with holes that traps ice cubes that fall off the evaporator and drops them into the storage bin. The storage bin is used to store frozen ice cubes. The storage bin is horizontally positioned below a door panel with a sealing strip. A hole is provided above the cold water tank to allow unfrozen water to flow into the cold water tank, preventing residual unfrozen water in the cold water tank from melting or sticking easily frozen ice cubes. The storage bin is sealed from the door panel by a sealing strip, effectively preventing outside air and dust from entering the bin, keeping the ice cubes clean and hygienic.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , a high-efficiency condensation evaporation cycle ice-making pipeline system includes a water dispenser body 1, the water dispenser body 1 is a frame structure, a back panel 101 is provided on the back, a door panel 102 and a water outlet 103 are provided on the front of the water dispenser body 1, a water pumping module 11 for extracting water from the top water bucket is provided inside the water dispenser body 1, an ice-making module 12 and a cooling module 13 are provided below the water pumping module 11, a pump body is provided inside the water pumping module 11, and the pump body transports water to the ice-making module 12, and the ice-making module 12 A cold water tank 124 is provided at the bottom, and the ice-making module 12 is connected to the cooling module 13 through a condenser. Refrigerant flows in the condenser. The cooling module 13 brings the refrigerant into contact with the evaporator of the ice-making module 12 through the condenser, and then into contact with the uncondensed water in the cold water tank 124. The uncondensed water during the ice-making process of the ice-making module 12 flows into the cold water tank 124. A cold water pump 121 is provided next to the cold water tank 124, and the cold water pump 121 transports the water in the cold water tank 124 to the water outlet 103.

[0024] During the operation of the ice-making module 12, water that has not reached the condensation point at the evaporator will flow into the cold water tank 124. The refrigerant in the cooling module 13 will contact the evaporator first through the transportation of the condenser pipe, thereby reducing the temperature of the evaporator, and then exchange heat with the water in the cold water tank 124, so that the refrigerant is reused for a second time and the water in the cold water tank 124 is cooled again, thereby improving the ice-making efficiency. At the same time, because the refrigerant has exchanged heat before the evaporator, its own temperature has risen, so it will not cause condensation of the water in the cold water tank 124. While making ice, the system can also transport the cold water in the cold water tank 124 to the water outlet 103 through the cold water pump 121, providing cold drink service, and meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0025] The pumping module 11 is provided with a hot tank for heating. The pump body in the pumping module 11 transports water to the hot tank for heating, and then flows out from the water outlet 103. The pipe extending from the hot tank in the water outlet 103 and the pipe extending from the cold water tank 124 do not overlap, so that hot water and cold water have their own outlets at the water outlet 103. By adding a hot tank, the system not only has an ice-making function, but also can provide hot water service, meeting the user's needs for cold and hot drinks in different occasions, and enhancing the versatility of the system. The non-overlapping design of the hot water and cold water pipes ensures that the heated hot water will not exchange heat with the unheated cold water, thereby avoiding waste of heat energy and improving the energy utilization efficiency of the system.

[0026] An ice filter tray 122 and an ice storage bin 123 are provided below the evaporator in the ice-making module 12. The ice filter tray 122 is a flat plate with holes, which allows ice cubes that fall off the evaporator to be intercepted and fall into the ice storage bin 123. The ice storage bin 123 is used to store condensed ice cubes. The ice storage bin 123 is horizontally arranged below the door panel 102, and a sealing strip is provided on the door panel 102. The ice storage bin 123 has holes above the cold water tank 124 to allow uncondensed water to flow into the cold water tank 124, thereby preventing uncondensed water from remaining in the cold water tank 124 and causing the easily condensed ice cubes to melt or stick. The ice storage bin 123 is sealed from the door panel 102 by a sealing strip, effectively preventing outside air and dust from entering the ice storage bin, thereby keeping the ice cubes clean and hygienic.

[0027] The cold water tank 124 is provided with a water level detection component to detect the water level in the cold water tank 124 . When the water storage in the cold water tank is insufficient, water can be directly transported to the cold water tank 124 through the pumping module 11 .

[0028] Circular rubber foot pads are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the water dispenser body 1 .

A pump body is provided in the water pumping module 11, and the pump body transports water to the ice-making module 12. A cold water tank 124 is provided at the bottom of the ice-making module 12. The ice-making module 12 and the cooling module 13 are connected through a condenser. Refrigerant flows in the condenser. The cooling module 13 contacts the refrigerant with the evaporator of the ice-making module 12 through the condenser, and then contacts the uncondensed water in the cold water tank 124. The uncondensed water in the ice-making process of the ice-making module 12 flows into the cold water tank 124. A cold water pump 121 is provided next to the cold water tank 124. The cold water pump 121 transports the water in the cold water tank 124 to the water outlet 103. During the operation of the ice-making module 12, water that has not reached the condensation point at the evaporator will flow into the cold water tank 124. The refrigerant in the cooling module 13 will contact the evaporator first through the transportation of the condenser pipe, thereby reducing the temperature of the evaporator, and then exchange heat with the water in the cold water tank 124, so that the refrigerant is reused for a second time and the water in the cold water tank 124 is cooled again, thereby improving the ice-making efficiency. At the same time, because the refrigerant has exchanged heat before the evaporator, its own temperature has risen, so it will not cause condensation of the water in the cold water tank 124. While making ice, the system can also transport the cold water in the cold water tank 124 to the water outlet 103 through the cold water pump 121, providing cold drink service, and meeting the diverse needs of users.
