Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purifier technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation structure for the condenser of an ice-making module in a water purifier. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese Patent Document No. CN218269794U disclosed an embedded beverage machine on January 10, 2023. The embedded beverage machine includes a functional module, which includes a water purification module and a refrigeration module. The water purification module includes a raw water inlet and a purified water inlet, and the refrigeration module includes a refrigeration inlet and a refrigeration outlet. The functional module also includes one or more of an ice-making module, a sparkling water module, a heating module, and a stirring module. The ice-making module includes an ice-making inlet and an ice-dispensing end, and the ice-making inlet is connected to the refrigeration outlet. The sparkling water module includes a sparkling water inlet and a sparkling water outlet, and the sparkling water inlet is connected to the refrigeration outlet, and the sparkling water outlet is connected to the water dispensing end. The heating module includes a heating inlet and a heating outlet, and the heating inlet is connected to the purified water inlet, and the heating outlet is connected to the water dispensing end. The stirring module includes a stirring device and a stirring container detachably connected to the stirring device. This built-in beverage machine absorbs heat from the cold tank through the evaporator and then discharges the heat through the condenser, thereby cooling the liquid inside the cold tank 210. The condenser is placed between the cold tank and the cooling fan, which can further cool the cold tank while the cooling fan quickly discharges the heat emitted by the condenser to the outside of the built-in beverage machine. This air-cooled method of cooling the condenser requires a fan, resulting in a relatively complex condenser structure and a large space occupation.

[0003] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple, efficient, space-saving, and practical condenser heat dissipation structure for a water purifier ice-making module, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] A condenser heat dissipation structure for an ice-making module of a water purifier, designed for this purpose, includes a condenser tube. The condenser tube comprises an outer tube and an inner tube. A refrigeration channel for refrigerant to pass through is provided on the inner tube. A heat dissipation channel for cooling water to pass through is provided between the outer tube and the inner tube. The heat dissipation channel surrounds the outer periphery of the refrigeration channel.

[0006] The top of the condenser tube is equipped with a refrigeration connector for connecting to the compressor. The refrigeration connector is connected to the inner tube and also connects to the refrigeration passage.

[0007] The bottom of the condenser tube is equipped with an ice-making connector for connecting to the evaporator. The ice-making connector is connected to the inner tube and also connects to the refrigeration passage.

[0008] A water inlet pipe is installed at the top of the condenser tube, which is connected to the outer tube and also connects to the heat dissipation channel.

[0009] A drain pipe is installed at the bottom of the condenser tube, which is connected to the external tube and also connects to the heat dissipation channel.

[0010] The condenser tubes are arranged in a spiral shape.

[0011] The ice-making module includes a bracket with a first fixing hole, a fixing plate on the side of the condenser tube, and a second fixing hole on the fixing plate. Fasteners pass through the first fixing hole and are fastened to the second fixing hole to fix the condenser tube on the bracket.

[0012] A support bar extends inward from the lower part of the bracket, and the bottom of the condenser tube is supported on the support bar.

[0013] A limit strip extends inward from the upper part of the bracket, and the top of the condenser tube rests against the limit strip.

[0014] The outer tube wraps around the outer circumference of the inner tube, and the cross-section of the condenser tube is annular.

[0015] The condenser heat dissipation structure of the ice-making module of this utility model uses a condenser tube, which includes an outer tube and an inner tube. The inner tube has a refrigeration channel for refrigerant to pass through, and a heat dissipation channel for cooling water to pass through between the outer tube and the inner tube. Cooling water is introduced through the heat dissipation channel to cool the refrigerant in the refrigeration channel, turning the refrigerant into a high-pressure liquid. The liquid is then introduced into the evaporator, which absorbs heat from the ice-making chamber (equivalent to a cold tank), thereby making ice. This structure eliminates the traditional air-cooled heat dissipation method of the condenser and replaces it with a water-cooled heat dissipation method. Therefore, the fan can be eliminated, simplifying the condenser structure and reducing its space occupation. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] See Figures 1-6 The condenser heat dissipation structure of the ice-making module of this water purifier includes a condenser tube 1, which includes an outer tube 2 and an inner tube 3. The inner tube 3 is provided with a refrigeration channel 4 for refrigerant to pass through. A heat dissipation channel 5 for cooling water to pass through is provided between the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3. The heat dissipation channel 5 surrounds the outer periphery of the refrigeration channel 4. The cooling water in the heat dissipation channel 5 can dissipate heat and cool the refrigerant in the refrigeration channel 4. The water purifier condenser adopts water cooling heat dissipation. When the water purifier is used in an embedded state, there is not much installation space, so water cooling is adopted. The water purifier condenser eliminates the use of air cooling and heat dissipation fins, simplifying the condenser structure and saving installation space.

[0024] The top of the condenser tube 1 is provided with a refrigeration connector 7 for connecting the compressor 6. The refrigeration connector 7 is connected to the inner tube 3 and is connected to the refrigeration channel 4. The refrigeration connector 7 is connected to the compressor 6 through the first pipe 18. The compressor 18 compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is introduced into the refrigeration channel 4 through the first pipe 18 and the refrigeration connector 7 in sequence.

[0025] The bottom of the condenser tube 1 is provided with an ice-making connector 9 for connecting to the evaporator 8. The ice-making connector 9 is connected to the inner tube 3 and is connected to the refrigeration channel 4. The ice-making connector 9 is connected to the evaporator 8 through the second pipe 19. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas in the refrigeration channel 4 is cooled and becomes a high-pressure liquid, which is then introduced into the evaporator 8 through the ice-making connector 9 and the second pipe 19 in sequence. The ice-making module includes an ice-making chamber 20. The evaporator 8 is located inside the ice-making chamber 20. The ice-making chamber 20 is filled with water. After the refrigerant enters the evaporator 8, it absorbs the heat of the water through vaporization, thereby turning the water in the ice-making chamber 20 into ice.

[0026] A water inlet pipe 10 is provided at the top of the condenser pipe 1. The water inlet pipe 10 is connected to the outer pipe 2 and the water inlet pipe 10 is connected to the heat dissipation channel 5. A water inlet connector 21 is provided at one end of the water inlet pipe 10. The water inlet connector 21 is connected to the pre-filter of the water purifier through a pipe. Cooling water is introduced into the heat dissipation channel 5 through the water inlet connector 21 and the water inlet pipe 10.

[0027] A drain pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the condenser tube 1. The drain pipe 11 is connected to the outer tube 2 and the drain pipe 11 is connected to the heat dissipation channel 5. A drain connector 22 is provided at one end of the drain pipe 11. The drain connector 22 is connected to the drain pipe. The cooling water in the heat dissipation channel 5 is discharged out of the water purifier through the drain pipe 11 and the drain connector 22 in sequence.

[0028] The condenser tube 1 is arranged in a spiral shape, which can increase the heat exchange time between cooling water and refrigerant and improve the cooling effect.

[0029] The ice-making module includes a bracket 12, on which a first fixing hole 13 is provided. A fixing plate 14 is provided on the side of the condenser tube 1. The fixing plate 14 is welded to the side of the condenser tube 1. A second fixing hole 15 is provided on the fixing plate 14. Fasteners (screws) pass through the first fixing hole 13 and are then fastened to the second fixing hole 15 to fix the condenser tube 1 on the bracket 12.

[0030] A support bar 16 extends inward from the lower part of the bracket 12, and the bottom of the condenser tube 1 is supported on the support bar 16. A limit bar 17 extends inward from the upper part of the bracket 12, and the top of the condenser tube 1 abuts against the limit bar 17, which can position the condenser tube 1 vertically, thereby making the condenser tube 1 more firmly fixed on the bracket 12.

[0031] The outer tube 2 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the inner tube 3, and the cross-section of the condenser tube 1 is annular.

[0032] The compressor 6 and the ice-making chamber 20 are mounted on the bracket 12.
