CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The utility model aims at solving the shortcomings in the prior art and provides a radiator structure for drinking water.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0005] A radiator structure for drinking water, comprising a plurality of pipes and a plurality of heat dissipation fins, a plurality of through holes for the pipes to pass through are provided on the heat dissipation fins, the plurality of heat dissipation fins are installed in series through the pipes, adjacent pipes are connected through connecting pieces to make the pipes communicate with each other to form a water circuit, the pipes and the connecting pieces are tightly connected, and the connecting pieces are made of elastic soft material; the water circuit is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a radiator structure for drinking water can be applied to water dispensers, kettles, formula makers, and other drinking water equipment to quickly exchange heat and cool hot water to a suitable drinking temperature, while ensuring that the quality of the drinking water meets catering standards. It includes several pipes 1 and several heat sinks 2.

[0028] The heat sink 2 has several through holes 21 for the pipes 1 to pass through. Multiple heat sinks 2 are axially connected in series through the pipes 1, and the heat sinks 2 are stacked at intervals. Specifically, the outer diameter of the pipe 1 matches the inner diameter of the through holes 21. When multiple heat sinks 2 are connected in series through the through holes 21, each heat sink 2 can be fixed to the pipe 1. The through holes 21 are arranged in an array. If the outer diameter of the pipe 1 is too small, the heat sinks 2 may move left and right after being connected in series, or even fall off the pipe 1, affecting the heat dissipation effect. If the outer diameter of the pipe 1 is too large, series connection cannot be achieved. The heat sink 2 is made of aluminum.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, since the aluminum sheet is relatively soft, in order to protect it from being squeezed and deformed during production, installation and use, the heat sink is provided with brackets 5 on both sides, and the brackets 5 are provided with positioning holes 51 corresponding to the through holes 21. Specifically, brackets 5 are provided on the front and rear sides of the heat sink, and are connected in series by pipes 1 on the front and rear sides of the heat sink 2.

[0030] The pipe 1 has ports 11 at both ends, and the ports 11 are installed with the connectors 3 through the positioning holes 51 corresponding to their positions. Specifically, the pipe 1 and the ports 11 are axially fixedly connected, and the connection method includes, but is not limited to, welding or integral forming. The inner diameter of the ports 11 is the same as that of the pipe 1, which facilitates their positioning and installation with the heat sink 2 and the bracket 5.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the bracket 5 is provided with a base 52, and the bracket 5 and the base 52 are perpendicular to each other, which facilitates its installation on the machine equipment.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to make the heat dissipation of pipe 1 more uniform and the heat dissipation efficiency higher, heat sinks 2 and the like are all distributed on pipe 1, that is, the spacing between adjacent heat sinks 2 is equal.

[0033] To further improve the heat dissipation effect of pipe 1, adjacent pipes 1 are connected by connector 3 to form a water channel 4. The water channel 4 is provided with an inlet 41 and an outlet 42, allowing the liquid in the water channel 4 to pass through the heat sink 2 multiple times for heat exchange and cooling. Specifically, the connector 3 is fitted onto the port 11, and the two fit tightly together.

[0034] Furthermore, connector 3 is made of a flexible, soft material, such as silicone. Specifically, connector 3 is an inorganic polymer colloidal material formed by the condensation of silicic acid, specifically food-grade silicone. Due to its elastic and stretchable physical properties, it can be tightly fitted onto port 11 with an interference fit, achieving a sealing and leak-proof effect.

[0035] The pipe 1 is made of a metallic material. Specifically, it includes, but is not limited to, materials with stability and corrosion resistance such as stainless steel, silver, or titanium. In this embodiment, it is made of food-grade stainless steel. This ensures that long-term contact with high-temperature water will not cause oxidation, rust, or release of harmful substances such as heavy metals that could affect human health.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, to prevent the connector 3 from detaching due to prolonged water flow impact, the connection depth between the connector 3 and the port 11 is 5mm-10mm. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection depth is 9mm, which increases the contact area between the inner wall of the connector 3 and the outer wall of the pipe 1. In other words, the friction between the two is greater, which can effectively prevent the connector from detaching and causing leakage due to water flow impact during long-term use.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that a fastener (not shown in the figure) is provided at the connection between port 11 and connector 3 to tighten connector 3 and port 11. The fastener includes, but is not limited to, elastic clamps, elastic ring clamps, and other accessories for tightening items that can be replaced by existing technology. It surrounds the outer periphery of connector 3 to clamp connector 3, further reinforcing the connection between port 11 and connector 3 and preventing connector 3 from falling off or leaking.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. All technical solutions that those skilled in the art can obtain based on the concept of the present utility model and on the basis of the prior art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
