[0017] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of a mounting bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a compact beverage cooler, including a housing 1 and a mounting bracket 2.

[0020] This utility model embodiment improves the arrangement of various components inside the cold drink machine casing, thereby making its internal structure more compact and reasonable, and reducing its overall space occupation.

[0021] Specifically,

[0022] The mounting bracket 2 is connected between the front side plate 11 and the rear side plate 12 of the housing 1. A freezing cylinder 3 is provided above the mounting bracket 2. A stirrer is provided inside the freezing cylinder 3 and is fixedly connected to the front side plate 11. A stirring drive device 4 is provided at one end of the freezing cylinder 3 near the rear side plate 12. The stirring drive device 4 is used to drive the stirrer to stir. A compressor 5 and a heat exchanger 6 connected to the compressor 5 are provided below the mounting bracket 2. The heat exchanger 6 is fixedly connected to the rear side plate 12. The freezing cylinder 3 is connected to the compressor 5 and the heat exchanger 6 respectively through pipes.

[0023] It should be noted that the compressor 5 and the heat exchanger 6 are connected by a heat exchange circulation pipeline, while the refrigeration circulation pipeline of the compressor 5 is arranged around the outer periphery of the refrigeration mixing cylinder 3. One end of the refrigeration circulation pipeline is connected to the cold source output end of the compressor 5, and the other end is connected to the heat source input end of the compressor 5.

[0024] Preferably, the stirring drive device 4 can be a commercially available drive motor, whose rotating shaft is connected to the stirrer. Upon startup, the rotating shaft drives the stirrer to rotate, stirring the raw materials in the freezing cylinder.

[0025] This invention's beverage cooler uses a mounting bracket 2 to divide the interior of the housing 1 into two installation areas, allowing the freezing cylinder 3 and compressor 5 to be installed in different areas respectively. This makes the installation of various electrical components within the housing 1 more compact, eliminating the need for excessive space for installation. Ultimately, this reduces the size of the housing 1 and thus the space occupied by the beverage cooler without affecting the normal operation of each component.

[0026] Preferably, the mounting bracket 2 has an electrical control board mounting bracket 13 and a heat exchanger mounting bracket 14 on its top and bottom surfaces, respectively, near the rear side plate 12. The electrical control board mounting bracket 13 contains an electrical control board, and the heat exchanger mounting bracket 14 fixes the heat exchanger 6.

[0027] Preferably, the rear panel 12 is provided with heat dissipation louvers 15 at positions corresponding to the control board mounting bracket 13 and the heat exchanger mounting bracket 14. Providing heat dissipation louvers 15 allows the heat generated by the heat exchanger 14 and the control board to be quickly dissipated during operation, ensuring the normal operation of the beverage cooler.

[0028] Preferably, the mounting bracket 2 is provided with a mounting through hole 21, the axial direction of which is inclined toward the side wall of the housing 1. The stirring drive device 4 is disposed in the mounting through hole 21, so that the stirring drive device 4 is inclined toward the side wall of the housing 1. The axial inclination of the mounting through hole 21 allows the stirring drive device 4 to be inclined toward one side wall of the housing 1, which helps to reduce the lateral width of the housing 1.

[0029] Preferably, the device also includes a control panel 16, which is located on the top of the housing 1 and is electrically connected to the stirring drive device 4 and the compressor 5. The control panel 16 on the top of the housing 1 can directly control the cooling operation of the beverage cooler, and its location on the top of the housing 1 makes it convenient for the user to operate.

[0030] Preferably, the control panel 16 is inclined toward the front side plate 11 of the housing 1.

[0031] Preferably, the top of the housing 1 is provided with a feed inlet 17, and a feed cover 18 is provided on one side of the feed inlet 17. The feed inlet 17 is connected to the freezing cylinder 3 through a pipe. The refrigeration material is injected into the interior of the freezing cylinder 3 through the feed inlet 17, and the freezing cylinder 3 refrigerates the material. The feed cover 18 is hinged to one side of the feed inlet 17, which shields the feed inlet 17 and prevents dust accumulation and contamination of the material.

[0032] Preferably, the front side panel 11 has a discharge head 7 and a collection plate 8 on its front side. The discharge head 7 is connected to the freezing cylinder 3, and the collection plate 8 is located directly below the discharge head 7. The collection plate 8 is used to collect spilled frozen beverages for easy cleaning by the user.

[0033] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
