Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of compressor disassembly and assembly technology, and in particular to a compressor disassembly and assembly structure for vending machines. Background Technology
[0002] The compressor compresses the refrigerant, changing it from a low-temperature, low-pressure state to a high-temperature, high-pressure state. Then, it releases heat through the condenser, expands and depressurizes through the expansion valve, absorbs heat, and returns to a low-temperature, low-pressure state, completing the refrigeration cycle and keeping the goods fresh. Through the continuous refrigeration process, the vending machine can maintain a low-temperature environment inside, thereby effectively extending the shelf life of the goods and maintaining their freshness and taste.
[0003] In the prior art, the compressor of a vending machine is located at the bottom of the machine body, and an installation port and installation net are usually provided at the rear of the machine body for installing the compressor.
[0004] However, placing the compressor's mounting port at the rear of the machine body means that the vending machine needs to be moved and the mounting mesh on the mounting port removed each time it is installed or repaired, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide a compressor disassembly and assembly structure for vending machines, which solves the technical problem that in the prior art, vending machines still need to be moved to perform repairs, resulting in long repair times.
[0006] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: a compressor assembly / disassembly structure for a vending machine, comprising a compressor housing disposed inside the vending machine and a dispensing component installed in front of the vending machine, the dispensing component comprising a dispensing box, connecting plates extending from both sides of the dispensing box, a connecting rail fixedly disposed on the vending machine and slidably connected to the connecting plates, and an assist mechanism disposed on both sides of the compressor housing.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when repairing and dismantling the compressor of the vending machine, the dispensing box is first removed from the vending machine, and then the compressor housing is detached from the vending machine through the assist structure. In this application, the dispensing component and the compressor are modularized. Since the dispensing components are all at the front of the vending machine, when dismantling or repairing the compressor, the dispensing box is removed first, and the compressor is directly removed from the front of the vending machine, so that the vending machine does not need to be moved.
[0008] Furthermore, the assist mechanism includes force-bearing rods at both ends of the compressor housing, an inclined rod fixedly installed on the end of the force-bearing rod away from the shipping box, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the force-bearing rod and the inclined rod, the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the compressor housing, and a force-bearing column fixedly connected to the compressor housing on the force-bearing rod.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the compressor of the vending machine needs to be repaired, the dispensing module is first removed from the vending machine casing. Then, by pulling the force rod upward, the force rod and the tilting rod will rotate with the rotating shaft. After they come into contact with the force column, the roller at the end of the tilting rod will contact the bottom surface of the vending machine casing, and the compressor housing will tilt as a whole. Pulling the force rod will allow the compressor to be removed. At this time, the cooperation between the tilting rod and the force rod becomes a force-saving lever.
[0010] Furthermore, a roller is provided on the end of the inclined rod away from the force-bearing rod, and the roller is rotatably connected to the inclined rod.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the roller can slide out more easily, and it is less effort to pull the force-bearing rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer side of the roller is fixedly provided with anti-slip rubber for preventing slippage.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to prevent the rollers from slipping when moving the compressor housing, this application uses anti-slip rubber fixedly installed on the outside of the rollers to avoid this.
[0014] Furthermore, the compressor housing is provided with limiting slide rails fixedly connected to the bottom of the vending machine on both sides, and the rollers are slidably connected to the limiting slide rails.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to ensure the accurate positioning of the compressor housing's internal refrigeration components when they are installed into the vending machine after repair, this application sets a limiting slide rail on the bottom surface inside the vending machine's outer casing. When the compressor housing is installed back to the bottom of the vending machine, the rollers on the tilting rod, which limit the slide rails on both sides, ensure the accurate positioning of the compressor when it is installed into the vending machine.
[0016] Furthermore, a fixing hook is fixedly provided on the end of the limiting slide rail away from the tilting rod, and a fixing block is fixedly provided on the compressor housing near the fixing hook. The fixing block is rotatably provided with a padlock, and a hanging ring is rotatably provided on the padlock.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to fix the compressor housing into the vending machine casing, after sliding the compressor housing into the vending machine, hook the hanging ring onto the fixing hook, and then rotate the padlock. The compressor housing will be unable to move, thus being fixed.
[0018] Furthermore, a force-bearing block is fixedly installed on the front baffle of the shipping box.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the force-bearing block can provide a force-bearing point when dismantling and installing the shipping box.
[0020] Furthermore, a rubber layer is fixedly provided on the outer side of the force-bearing block.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the friction force during demolition can be improved.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. By modularizing the shipping components with the compressor housing, the compressor can be repaired or removed simply by operating from the front of the vending machine, eliminating the need for a complicated disassembly process. This significantly shortens repair time and improves work efficiency. The design of the assist mechanism, especially the force-saving lever formed by the cooperation of the tilting rod and the force-bearing rod, allows a single person to easily complete the removal and installation of the compressor, reducing the skill and physical requirements for maintenance personnel.
[0024] 2. The limiting slide rail at the bottom of the vending machine works in conjunction with the rollers on the tilting rod to ensure that the compressor can automatically align and slide to the correct position during installation, avoiding installation problems caused by positional deviations. The combination of fixing hooks, fixing blocks, padlocks, and hanging rings ensures reliable fixing of the compressor after installation, effectively preventing it from moving or falling off during use and guaranteeing the stable operation of the vending machine.
[0025] 3. A rapid repair and replacement process reduces downtime due to vending machine malfunctions, ensuring a better shopping experience for consumers and lowering operating costs for businesses. The application of anti-slip rubber increases friction during disassembly and enhances the grip between the rollers and the vending machine's inner bottom surface, effectively preventing accidental injuries caused by slippage and improving overall operational safety.

[0031] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Example, refer to Figures 1-3 A compressor disassembly and assembly structure for a vending machine 1 includes a compressor housing 2 disposed inside the vending machine 1 and a dispensing component installed at the front of the vending machine 1. The dispensing component includes a dispensing box 3, connecting plates 301 extending from both sides of the dispensing box 3, and a connecting rail 302 fixedly disposed on the vending machine 1 and slidably connected to the connecting plates 301. Assist mechanisms are provided on both sides of the compressor housing 2. When repairing or disassembling the compressor of the vending machine 1, the dispensing box 3 is first removed from the vending machine 1, and then the compressor housing 2 is detached from the vending machine 1 via the assist mechanisms. In this application, the dispensing component and the compressor are modularized. Since the dispensing components are all located at the front of the vending machine 1, the compressor can be directly disassembled from the front of the vending machine 1 when disassembling or repairing it.
[0033] In this embodiment, the assist mechanism includes force-bearing rods 102 at both ends of the compressor housing 2. An inclined rod 105 is fixedly mounted on the end of the force-bearing rod 102 away from the dispensing box 3. A rotating shaft 100 is rotatably connected to the force-bearing rod 102 and the inclined rod 105, and the rotating shaft 100 is rotatably connected to the compressor housing 2. A force-bearing column 104 is fixedly connected to the force-bearing rod 102 and then to the compressor housing 2. When the compressor of the vending machine 1 needs maintenance, the dispensing module is first removed from the vending machine 1 housing. Then, by pulling the force-bearing rod 102 upwards, the force-bearing rod 102 and the inclined rod 105 rotate with the rotating shaft 100. After reaching the force-bearing column 104, the roller 103 at the end of the inclined rod 105 contacts the inner bottom surface of the vending machine 1 housing, causing the compressor housing 2 to tilt. Pulling the force-bearing rod 102 allows the compressor to be removed. The cooperation between the inclined rod 105 and the force-bearing rod 102 at this time forms a force-saving lever.
[0034] In this embodiment, a roller 103 is provided on the end of the tilting rod 105 away from the force-bearing rod 102, and the roller 103 is rotatably connected to the tilting rod 105. By sliding the roller 103, it can slide out more easily, and it is less effort to pull the force-bearing rod 102.
[0035] In this embodiment, anti-slip rubber is fixedly provided on the outer side of the roller 103 for anti-slip purposes. In order to prevent the roller 103 from slipping when moving the compressor housing 2, this application avoids this by fixing anti-slip rubber on the outer side of the roller 103.
[0036] In this embodiment, limiting slide rails 201 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the vending machine 1 on both sides of the compressor housing 2, and rollers 103 are slidably connected to the limiting slide rails 201. In order to ensure the accurate positioning when the refrigeration components inside the compressor housing 2 are installed into the vending machine 1 after maintenance, the limiting slide rails 201 are set on the bottom surface inside the vending machine 1. When the compressor housing 2 is installed back to the bottom of the vending machine 1, the rollers 103 on the tilting rod 105, through their connection with the limiting slide rails 201 on both sides, will ensure the accurate positioning of the compressor in the vending machine 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, a fixing hook 202 is fixedly installed on the end of the limiting slide rail 2 away from the tilting rod 105. A fixing block 203 is fixedly installed on the compressor housing 2 near the fixing hook 202. A padlock 204 is rotatably installed on the fixing block 203, and a hanging ring 205 is rotatably installed on the padlock 204. In order to fix the compressor housing 2 into the vending machine 1, after sliding the compressor housing 2 into the vending machine 1, the hanging ring 205 hooks onto the fixing hook 202, and then the padlock 204 is rotated. The compressor housing 2 will be unable to move, thus being fixed.
[0038] In this embodiment, a force-bearing block 4 is fixedly installed on the front baffle of the shipping box 3. The force-bearing block 4 provides a force-bearing point when the shipping box 3 is disassembled and installed.
[0039] In this embodiment, a rubber layer is fixedly provided on the outer side of the force-bearing block 4 to increase friction during dismantling.
[0040] Specific implementation process: Pull the force block 4 on the dispensing box 3 to pull the dispensing box 3 outward, allowing it to slide along the inner slide rail of the vending machine 1 until it is completely removed. At this time, the force block 4 on the front of the dispensing box 3 (with a rubber layer on the outside to increase friction) can serve as an auxiliary force point for pulling. Next, prepare to remove the compressor, check the connection between the force rod 102 and the tilting rod 105 in the assist mechanism, ensure that the roller 103 is in good condition, and clean the limit slide rail 201. Pull the force rod 102 upward, and the roller 103 at the end of the tilting rod 105 contacts the inner bottom surface of the vending machine 1 to form a force-saving lever. Continue pulling to make the compressor tilt outward along the limit slide rail 201 and move until it is removed. After repairing or replacing the compressor, reinstall it in reverse order, ensuring that the roller 103 is aligned with the slide rail and pushing the compressor back to its original position. Finally, use the padlock 204 to hook the hanging ring 205 onto the fixing hook 202 and rotate to lock it, preventing the compressor from moving. After installing shipping box 3 and checking its sturdiness, connect the power supply to perform a functional test to ensure that the compressor and shipping components are working properly.
[0041] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
