Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage machines, and in particular to a cold air circulation structure for an automatic beverage machine. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technology, automatic beverage machines are equipment for refrigerating and preparing beverages such as tea and coffee. Traditional automatic beverage machines have a separate structure for dispensing control and refrigeration equipment, with a relatively long section of the raw liquid pipeline located outside the refrigerator. The high temperature outside the refrigerator can cause bacteria to grow inside the pipeline, making the raw liquid easily deteriorate, shortening its shelf life, affecting food safety, and causing waste of raw liquid. In order to meet food safety requirements, traditional automatic beverage machines require frequent cleaning and replacement of the raw liquid pipeline. These must be performed by professionals to achieve the best results. This not only requires a lot of manpower, but also involves a complicated process, affecting work efficiency and resulting in extremely high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

These operations must be performed by professionals to achieve the best results, which not only requires a lot of manpower, but also involves a cumbersome process, affects work efficiency, and has extremely high maintenance costs.
[0004] The technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application are as follows.
[0005] A cold air circulation structure for an automatic beverage machine includes a housing, an insulation component connected to the housing, a baffle for easy maintenance of the insulation component, a clip for quick disassembly of the baffle, a liquid transmission pipeline, an isolation plate disposed within the insulation component, and a fan for cooling the pipeline. The housing has an opening; the insulation component communicates with the opening; the baffle is connected to the insulation component via the clip; the pipeline is disposed within the insulation component, with one end passing through the insulation component and the other end connected to the housing; the isolation plate divides the interior of the insulation component into a first zone and a second zone; the pipeline is located within the first zone; the fan is disposed on the isolation plate with its air inlet facing the pipeline; both the first and second zones are connected to the housing.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the heat insulation component, the baffle and the isolation plate are all L-shaped.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the top of the heat insulation component is provided with an opening; the liquid outlet end of the pipeline corresponds to the opening.
[0008] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0009] 1. Due to the adoption of this cold air circulation structure, a complete cooling air duct is formed in the middle by setting up the cabinet and insulation components. This ensures that all the concentrate is in the cold air circulation body before it is dispensed, effectively extending the shelf life of the concentrate and preventing it from deteriorating. The buckle design allows for easy disassembly of the insulation components and baffles, facilitating the inspection and replacement of pipes that have reached the end of their service life, effectively reducing maintenance steps and saving construction personnel time. Through the modular design of the cabinet and insulation components, the whole machine is assembled in the factory and requires no additional assembly on site. It is ready to use simply by plugging it in, saving construction time and eliminating the need for on-site maintenance professionals. This effectively extends the shelf life of the concentrate, prevents deterioration, and facilitates the inspection and replacement of pipes that have reached the end of their service life through the easy disassembly structure.

[0014] This application provides a cold air circulation structure for an automatic beverage machine, which solves the problem that in the prior art, traditional automatic beverage machines require frequent cleaning and replacement of the raw liquid pipeline in order to meet food safety requirements. These operations must be performed by professionals to achieve the best results, which not only requires a lot of manpower, but also involves a cumbersome process, affects work efficiency, and has extremely high maintenance costs.
[0015] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0016] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0017] A cold air circulation structure for an automatic beverage machine includes a housing 1, an insulation component 2 connected to the housing 1, a baffle 3 for easy maintenance of the insulation component 2, a snap fastener 4 for quick disassembly of the baffle 3, a liquid transmission pipe 5, an isolation plate 6 disposed within the insulation component 2, and a fan 7 for cooling the pipe 5. The housing 1 has an opening 11; the insulation component 2 communicates with the opening 11; the baffle 3 is connected to the insulation component 2 via the snap fastener 4; the pipe 5 is disposed within the insulation component 2, with one end passing through the insulation component 2 and the other end connected to the housing 1; the isolation plate 6 divides the interior of the insulation component 2 into a first zone 21 and a second zone 22; the pipe 5 is located within the first zone 21; the fan 7 is disposed on the isolation plate 6 with its air inlet facing the pipe 5; both the first zone 21 and the second zone 22 are connected to the housing 1.
[0018] The insulation component 2, baffle 3 and isolation plate 6 are all L-shaped.
[0019] The top of the insulation component 2 is provided with an opening 23; the liquid outlet end of the pipe 5 corresponds to the opening 23.
[0020] This cold air circulation structure, through the setting of the housing 1 and the insulation component 2, forms a complete cooling air duct in the middle, which ensures that all the raw liquid is in the cold air circulation body before it is dispensed into the cup, effectively extending the shelf life of the raw liquid and preventing it from deteriorating. The setting of the buckle 4 allows for easy disassembly of the insulation component 2 and the baffle 3, facilitating the inspection and replacement of pipes 5 that have reached the end of their service life, effectively reducing maintenance steps and saving construction personnel time. Through the modular design of the housing 1 and the insulation component 2, the whole machine is assembled in the factory and does not require additional assembly on site. It can be used immediately after being plugged in, which not only saves construction time, but also allows on-site operation without the need for maintenance professionals.
[0021] Thanks to this cold air circulation structure, a complete cooling air duct is formed between the housing 1 and the insulation component 2, ensuring that all the concentrate is within the cold air circulation system before being dispensed, effectively extending the shelf life of the concentrate and preventing spoilage. The clips 4 allow for easy disassembly of the insulation component 2 and the baffle 3, facilitating maintenance and replacement of pipes 5 that have reached the end of their service life, effectively reducing maintenance steps and saving construction time. The modular design of the housing 1 and insulation component 2 means that the entire machine is assembled in the factory and requires no further assembly on-site; it is ready to use simply by plugging it in. This not only saves construction time but also eliminates the need for on-site maintenance professionals, thus effectively extending the shelf life of the concentrate, preventing spoilage, and facilitating maintenance and replacement of pipes 5 that have reached the end of their service life.
