[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0025] The cold drink machine housing of this invention ensures that no repositioning is required during installation, effectively guaranteeing the production efficiency of the cold drink machine.
[0026] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, the cold drink machine housing includes a side panel 1, a top cover 2, and a bottom plate 3. The top cover 2 is detachably connected to the top of the side panel 1, and the bottom plate 3 is detachably connected to the bottom of the side panel 1 to ensure easy installation of the cold drink machine housing. The top cover 2 has an outer protrusion 21, and the top surface of the outer protrusion 21 has a mounting surface 22. The top of the side panel 1 has an inner convex positioning surface 111. When the side panel 1 and the top cover 2 are connected, the inner convex positioning surface 111 covers the mounting surface 22, and the inner convex positioning surface 111 and the mounting surface 22 are detachably connected.
[0027] According to the cold drink machine housing of this embodiment, the top cover 2 and the bottom plate 3 are detachably connected to the side plate 1 of the housing. The installation structure of the cold drink machine housing is simple, easy to disassemble or install, and improves the assembly efficiency of the cold drink machine housing. When it is necessary to assemble the top cover 2, the mounting surface 22 of the top cover 2 can be used to cooperate with the inner convex positioning surface 111 formed by any one of the front side plate 11, the right side plate 14, the rear side plate 13, and the right side plate 14 to achieve the installation positioning of the top cover 2, ensuring the installation accuracy of the top cover 2. Therefore, there is no need to repeat the positioning when installing the cold drink machine housing, which effectively ensures the production efficiency of the cold drink machine.
[0028] Specifically, the housing side panel 1 includes a front side panel 11, a left side panel 12, a rear side panel 13 and a right side panel 14 that are detachably connected in sequence. Any two adjacent housing side panels 1 can be detachably connected to ensure that the installation structure of the housing side panel 1 is simple and to further improve the assembly efficiency of the cold drink machine housing.
[0029] by Figure 1 Taking the orientation of the cold beverage dispenser housing as an example, the left side of the front panel 11 is detachably connected to the front side of the left side panel 12, the rear side of the left side panel 12 is detachably connected to the left side of the rear panel 13, the right side of the rear panel 13 is detachably connected to the rear side of the right side panel 14, and the front side of the right side panel 14 is detachably connected to the right side of the front panel 11. The four edges of the top cover 2 are detachably connected to the tops of the front panel 11, left side panel 12, rear side panel 13, and right side panel 14, respectively. The four edges of the bottom plate 3 are detachably connected to the tops of the front panel 11, left side panel 12, rear side panel 13, and right side panel 14, respectively.
[0030] Furthermore, by forming an external protrusion on the top cover, the control panel of the beverage dispenser can also be installed on the external protrusion, facilitating the installation of the control panel 8 and protecting the control panel 8. To facilitate the installation of the control panel 8 between the front panel 11 and the top cover 2, such as... Figure 3As shown, at least one of the inner convex positioning surface 111 and the mounting surface 22 is provided with a mounting groove 23. The side wall of the mounting groove 23 is provided with an inserting boss. The mounting groove 23 is used to form a mounting space for the control panel 8 on the outer boss 21 of the top cover 2 and / or the inner convex positioning surface 111 of the front side plate 11. This facilitates the installation of the control panel 8 between the top cover 2 and the front side plate 11. At the same time, the control panel 8 is engaged by the inserting boss on the side wall of the mounting groove 23 to ensure the installation stability of the control panel 8.
[0031] In addition, the mounting slot 23 provides installation space for the control panel 8 and accommodates the electronic components and circuits inside the control panel 8, so as to further reduce the failure of the control panel 8 due to misoperation or accidental contact.
[0032] Specifically, the mounting groove 23 can be formed separately on the mounting surface 22 of the outer boss 21, or it can be formed separately on the inner convex positioning surface 111 of the front side panel 11, to ensure the ease of installation of the control panel 8 in the mounting groove 23. In addition, the mounting groove 23 can also be formed simultaneously on the mounting surface 22 and the inner convex positioning surface 111, so that the control panel 8 can make more effective use of the mounting space between the front side panel 11 and the outer boss 21, and the assembly between the front side panel 11 and the top cover 2 can be more compact.
[0033] In addition, it should be noted that the inner convex positioning surface 111 is detachably equipped with a light-transmitting cover using a snap-fit structure. The light-transmitting cover is flush with the top side of the front side panel 11, so that the display content of the control panel 8 can be easily observed using the light-transmitting cover, while further ensuring the shielding and dust protection of the control panel 8.
[0034] Furthermore, to ensure a better user experience when operating Control Panel 8, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inner convex positioning surface 111 is formed on the top of the front side panel 11, and the mounting surface 22 is inclined downward toward the front side panel 11, with the inclination angle of the inner convex positioning surface 111 being the same as that of the mounting surface 22. Furthermore, by utilizing the cooperation between the mounting surface 22 of the outer boss 21 and the inner convex positioning surface 111 of the front side panel 11, the control panel 8 is inclinedly mounted on the top of the beverage dispenser near the front side panel 11. This allows the mounting angle of the control panel 8 to better conform to ergonomic design principles, enabling users to maintain a natural posture and comfort when operating the beverage dispenser without excessive bending or stooping, effectively reducing operational inconvenience and improving the user experience.
[0035] It should be noted that the preset angle formed between the mounting surface 22 and the top surface of the top cover 2 is preferably 21°. Of course, the specific angle of the preset angle can be set according to actual needs to meet the actual user's usage requirements.
[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the internal structure of the beverage cooler can be divided into a refrigeration system and a stirring and ice-making system according to their functions during actual operation. To ensure that the two systems are functionally independent and to avoid mutual interference, the internal space of the beverage cooler casing needs to be separated. Therefore, in this embodiment, as follows... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cold drink machine housing also includes a partition plate 4 and a support frame 5. The bottom of the support frame 5 is connected to the side of the base plate 3 near the rear side plate 13. The front end of the partition plate 4 is connected to the front side plate 11, and the rear end of the partition plate 4 is connected to the top of the support frame 5. The partition plate 4 is used to divide the internal space of the cold drink machine housing, ensuring that the refrigeration system and the ice-making and stirring system will not interfere with each other due to physical and chemical effects such as temperature changes and / or pressure changes during operation, thus ensuring the normal operation of the cold drink machine and extending its service life.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first chamber 101 is formed between the partition plate 4 and the top cover 2, and a second chamber 102 is formed between the partition plate 4 and the bottom plate 3. The first chamber 101 can be used to house an ice-making system, including an evaporator, an insulation shell, and a driving stirring assembly, while the second chamber 102 can be used to house a refrigeration system, including a compressor, a condenser 7, and refrigeration circulation pipes.
[0038] It should be noted that when the first chamber 101 is equipped with a stirring ice-making system, in order to ensure the stability of the partition plate 4 when bearing the weight of the stirring ice-making system, the partition plate 4 is preferably detachably connected to the front side plate 11 and the support frame 5 by bolt connection.
[0039] The ice-making system and the stirring ice-making system dissipate heat into the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102 during operation. To achieve heat dissipation inside the beverage cooler casing, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, at least one of the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 14 has a plurality of heat dissipation holes 103, some of which face the first chamber 101 and others face the second chamber 102. The heat generated by the ice-making system and the stirring ice-making system is conducted to the outside of the beverage cooler by the plurality of heat dissipation holes 103, thereby avoiding the accumulation of heat inside the beverage cooler casing and affecting the ice-making system and the stirring ice-making system, and ensuring that the ice-making system and the stirring ice-making system work normally.
[0040] Furthermore, in a beverage cooler, the refrigeration system is typically the primary heat source, and the heat dissipated by the refrigeration system is greater than that dissipated by the ice-making and stirring system. In this embodiment, the number of some heat dissipation holes 103 is less than the number of others, specifically, the number of heat dissipation holes 103 facing the first chamber 101 is less than the number of heat dissipation holes 103 facing the second chamber 102. This ensures that the distribution of the heat dissipation holes 103 can adequately meet the actual heat dissipation requirements of both the refrigeration system and the ice-making and stirring system. Simultaneously, the left side plate 12 and / or the right side plate 14 do not require excessive heat dissipation holes 103, thereby simplifying the processing steps and reducing processing time for the left and right side plates 14 to some extent.
[0041] It should be noted that, in order to further ensure that the heat dissipation area of the cold drink machine casing can meet the heat dissipation requirements of the refrigeration system and the ice-making system, the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 14 are preferably formed with heat dissipation holes 103 at the same time.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, a blocking block 104 is arranged on the inner side of each heat dissipation hole 103. A gap is formed between the blocking block 104 and the side plate 1 of the housing. The size of the blocking block 104 is less than or equal to the size of the heat dissipation hole 103. The blocking block 104 reduces the area of the heat dissipation hole 103 directly exposed to the outside, and to a certain extent prevents dust and other pollutants from entering the interior of the cold drink machine housing through the heat dissipation hole 103. This protects the refrigeration system and the stirring and ice-making system inside the cold drink machine housing, reduces the accumulation of dust inside the cold drink machine housing, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0043] Preferably, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 103 are arranged in an array on the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 14. To ensure the forming stability of the blocking blocks 104 on the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 14, any two adjacent blocking blocks 104 are connected by blocking strips 105, and the blocking strips 105 divide the blocking blocks 104 with the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 14 with a certain gap, so as to ensure the heat dissipation function of the heat dissipation holes 103 by utilizing the gap.
[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the rear panel 13 has a first heat dissipation window 106 and a second heat dissipation window 107, wherein the first heat dissipation window 106 faces the first chamber 101 and the second heat dissipation window 107 faces the second chamber 102, thereby assisting in heat dissipation through the first heat dissipation window 106 and the second heat dissipation window 107 to further reduce heat accumulation inside the refrigerator casing. Preferably, the first heat dissipation window 106 and the second heat dissipation window 107 are formed as louvered structures.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the first chamber 101 is equipped with an electrical control box 6. The electrical control box 6 is mainly responsible for controlling the start, stop, and actual operation status of the beverage cooler, ensuring that the beverage cooler can operate according to the set program. Since the electrical control box 6 contains heat-generating electronic components, in order to further prevent heat accumulation inside the electrical control box 6, a ventilation hole 61 is formed on the side of the electrical control box 6 facing the rear side panel 13. The ventilation hole 61 faces the first heat dissipation window 106, so that the heat generated by the internal components of the electrical control box 6 can be discharged through the ventilation hole 61 and the first heat dissipation window 106, ensuring that the internal components of the electrical control box 6 work normally.
[0046] The second chamber 102 is equipped with a condenser 7, and a cooling fan is installed in the condenser 7. The air outlet of the cooling fan faces the second heat dissipation window 107, so that the heat exchange airflow generated by the condenser 7 can be discharged from the second heat dissipation window 107, thus avoiding the heat carried by the heat exchange airflow from affecting the refrigeration system in the second chamber 102.
[0047] Accordingly, this embodiment also provides a cold drink machine, which includes the cold drink machine housing described in any of the above embodiments. Using the cold drink machine of this embodiment improves the assembly efficiency of the cold drink machine housing while effectively enhancing the ease of operation and user experience. Furthermore, the cold drink machine possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned cold drink machine housing, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0048] Among them, the cold drink machine is a smoothie machine, ice cream machine, or a multi-functional machine for making smoothies and ice cream.
[0049] To facilitate the splicing and assembly of the various parts of the cold drink machine housing, including the side panels, top cover 2, and bottom plate 3, any two adjacent housing side panels 1 are snap-fitted together, the top cover 2 is snap-fitted together with any adjacent housing side panel 1, and the bottom plate 3 is threaded together with any adjacent housing side panel 1.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, multiple locking holes 108 are formed on both sides of the left side panel 12 and both sides of the right side panel 14, and multiple snap fasteners 109 are formed on both sides of the front side panel 11 and both sides of the rear side panel 13. The front side panel 11 and the left side panel 12, the left side panel 12 and the rear side panel 13, the rear side panel 13 and the right side panel 14, and the right side panel 14 and the front side panel 11 are all connected by the engagement of the snap fasteners 109 and the locking holes 108. Similarly, multiple locking holes 108 are formed on each edge of the top cover 2, and multiple snap fasteners 109 are formed on the top edge of each side panel to snap the top cover 2 to each side panel. Each side plate has a threaded hole at its bottom edge and at each edge of the base plate 3. The base plate 3 can be threadedly connected to the side plate by fasteners such as bolts or studs, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the front side plate 11, the left side plate 12, the rear side plate 13, the right side plate 14, the top cover 2, and the base plate 3, ensuring quick assembly and assembly stability.
[0051] 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 invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
