Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of refrigeration equipment and relates to an air-cooled beverage machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the hot summer, people enjoy drinking chilled beverages such as beer, cola, and milk. Therefore, there is a need for beverage cooling, and beverage machines are available on the market that can cool beverages for consumption. These machines have a cooling chamber and a cooling circuit formed by a compressor, condenser, and evaporator. Beverages are placed in the cooling chamber and their temperature is lowered through methods such as air cooling, water cooling, or dry cooling, thus meeting people's drinking needs.

[0003] For example, patent CN221526987U discloses a refrigerator, including: a unit compartment with a refrigeration device inside, the refrigeration device being installed on a mounting frame, and the mounting frame being able to be pulled out or pushed in from the front of the unit compartment; the refrigeration device includes a condensing air duct, a condenser, a condensing fan, and a compressor; the unit compartment is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the first end of the condensing air duct is connected to the air inlet, and the second end is connected to the air outlet; wherein, the condenser, the condensing fan, and the compressor are arranged sequentially from top to bottom in the condensing air duct, and when maintaining the refrigeration device, it is not necessary to disassemble the side panels and the back panel, but only to pull out the mounting frame.

[0004] The above-mentioned equipment can achieve the chilled storage of beverages, but it still has shortcomings: outside air is drawn in from the top and sent out from the bottom after passing through the condenser and compressor. However, hot air will rise on its own, causing the top to repeatedly draw in heated air for heat exchange, resulting in insufficient heat exchange effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing an air-cooled beverage machine. The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is: how to balance ease of maintenance and heat exchange efficiency in air-cooled storage equipment.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A wind-cooled beverage machine includes a casing with a refrigeration chamber and a cooling chamber, the refrigeration chamber and the refrigeration chamber being separated from each other on the left and right, and the front side of the cooling chamber being open. A cooling bracket that can move forward to the outside of the cooling chamber is provided in the cooling chamber. A compressor, a condenser and a condensing fan are connected to the cooling bracket. The inner side wall of the cooling chamber has an air inlet and an exhaust port communicating with the outside. The air inlet and the exhaust port are respectively located on two horizontally opposite inner side walls of the cooling chamber. The condenser and the compressor are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. The condenser faces forward and faces the air inlet, and the compressor faces backward and faces the exhaust port. The condensing fan is arranged axially and fixed to the condenser.

[0008] The chassis's cold storage compartment is used to hold canned or barrelled beverages that require chilling. The cooling compartment houses refrigeration units such as compressors, condensers, and condenser fans, continuously supplying cold air to the cold storage compartment. Air inlets on the inner side wall of the cooling compartment allow outside cooling air to enter and exchange heat with the condenser. The air after heat exchange is exhausted through exhaust vents. When maintenance of the refrigeration components is required, the entire refrigeration bracket can be pulled out from the open side, exposing the refrigeration components for observation and maintenance. The air inlet and exhaust vents are located within the cooling compartment. The condenser and compressor are arranged on two horizontally opposite inner sidewalls, with the condenser and compressor spaced apart along the direction of the air inlet. The condenser fan is axially and horizontally fixed on the condenser. When the condenser fan is working, it can draw in outside air horizontally through the air inlet to exchange heat with the condenser. After passing through the condenser, the air continues to blow backward to cool the compressor. It then continues to move and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port. The cooling path of the cooling air is horizontal and straight, which means that the air exchange flow is smoother. The intake and exhaust positions of the cooling air are horizontally separated to avoid the repeated intake of heated air, thus taking into account both maintenance convenience and heat exchange effect.

[0009] In the aforementioned air-cooled beverage machine, the left side wall of the refrigeration chamber has an exhaust port two that communicates with the outside. This allows some of the deflected air to be directly discharged to the outside through the exhaust port two after the cooling air passes through the condenser and impacts the compressor surface, preventing turbulence from forming inside the refrigeration chamber and affecting the circulation effect.

[0010] In the aforementioned air-cooled beverage machine, the refrigeration chamber includes a door panel that controls the opening and closing of the front opening of the refrigeration chamber, and the air inlet is located on the door panel. This allows the door panel to be closed to protect the internal refrigeration components, while also enabling easy opening for maintenance and ensuring normal air intake and heat exchange.

[0011] In the aforementioned air-cooled beverage machine, the machine also includes a box-shaped cooling air box, which is fixed to the cooling bracket. The cooling air box has an exhaust port and an exhaust port on the side facing the refrigeration compartment, both of which communicate only with the refrigeration compartment. This ensures that the cooling air box always protects the internal evaporator and cooling fan, as well as other refrigeration components, from impact damage when pulled out or pushed in.

[0012] In the aforementioned air-cooled beverage machine, a ring-shaped sealing ring is fixed to the side of the cooling air box. The sealing ring is arranged around the periphery of the air intake and exhaust port and seals against the inner wall of the cooling chamber. This helps to prevent the cold air inside the cooling air box from leaking to the outside through the sealing ring, ensuring a stable cooling effect.

[0013] As an alternative, the beverage machine also includes a box-shaped cooling air box, which is fixed to the inner wall of the cooling chamber and has an open side. The opening of the cooling air box faces the same direction as the opening of the cooling chamber. The cooling air box has an exhaust port and an exhaust port, both of which communicate with the refrigeration chamber. A portion of the cooling support is horizontally inserted into the cooling air box and closes the open side of the cooling air box. The portion of the cooling support inside the cooling air box is equipped with an evaporator and a cooling fan. The cooling air box is used to directly draw air from the refrigeration chamber through the exhaust port, cool it, and then inject it back into the refrigeration chamber through the exhaust port. By fixing the cooling air box directly inside the refrigeration chamber, the evaporator and cooling fan can be detached from the cooling air box and exposed when the cooling support is pulled out, thus eliminating the need to remove the cooling air box for maintenance, making maintenance more convenient.

[0014] In the aforementioned air-cooled beverage machine, the refrigeration bracket includes a vertically shaped cover. The evaporator and the cooling fan are fixed to the cover. A circumferentially arranged annular sealing ring is fixed to the cover, and the sealing ring seals against the open edge of the refrigeration box along its circumference. This sealing ring ensures that the cold air inside the refrigeration box does not leak to the outside during operation, guaranteeing stable cooling performance.

[0015] In the aforementioned air-cooled beverage machine, the outer side of the refrigeration bracket has a U-shaped handle. This allows users to easily pull out the entire refrigeration bracket during maintenance by applying force through the handle, improving convenience.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The cooling path of the external cooling air entering this air-cooled beverage machine is horizontal and straight, which means that the air exchange flow is smoother. In addition, the intake and exhaust positions of the cooling air are horizontally separated to avoid the repeated intake of heated air and improve the heat exchange effect.
