Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of milk tea machine technology, and in particular to a milk tea machine refrigerator capable of refrigerating pipes. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, the demand for and level of beverage consumption are also constantly rising, making freshly made beverage shops one of the fastest-growing industries. Freshly made beverage shops can be seen everywhere, and you can often see long queues.

[0003] Most freshly made beverage shops currently use purely manual preparation methods, offering a wide variety of beverages to meet the needs of different consumers. However, problems such as low beverage preparation efficiency and inconsistent taste of the liquid remain, especially for viscous liquid beverages, such as yogurt, where it is still difficult to automatically dispense precise amounts of such viscous liquids.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a Chinese patent discloses an automatic milk tea machine (application number 201810140651.9), comprising a low-temperature preservation box, an ice maker box, and a room-temperature box. A guide rail box is located at the front of each box. The upper part of the low-temperature preservation box contains a sauce output device, a large fruit particle output device, a topping output device, and a juice pump. A juice tank is located in the middle of the low-temperature preservation box. The ice maker box contains a fully automatic ice maker. The upper part of the room-temperature box contains a cup dispenser, a fructose output device, a powder output device, and a stirring device. The middle of the room-temperature box contains tea and purified water outlets. The lower part of the room-temperature box is a water bucket placement area. A milk tea cup conveying platform is located within the guide rail box. However, in this milk tea machine, only the low-temperature preservation box has a refrigeration function. After the sauce output device, large fruit particle output device, topping output device, and juice pump complete their output, the remaining liquid remains in the room-temperature pipes, making it prone to spoilage and affecting the taste and texture of the milk tea.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-4As shown, a refrigerator for a milk tea machine with a refrigerated pipe is used in a milk tea machine. It includes a cabinet 1, a door 2, and a refrigeration structure 3. The door 2 is hinged to the cabinet 1. A liquid container a is stored in the cabinet 1. An expansion box 11 is provided on the cabinet 1 and communicates with the cabinet 1. A discharge pipe b is located in the expansion box 11. The liquid container a is connected to the discharge pipe b via a pipe. The refrigeration structure 3 includes a compressor 31, a fan 32, a condenser 33, an evaporator 34, an evaporator cover 35, and a crossflow fan 36. The compressor 31 and condenser 33 are installed on the outer surface of the cabinet 1. The fan 32 is installed on the condenser 33. The condenser 33 is connected to the evaporator 34. The evaporator 34 is installed on the top of the inner surface of the cabinet 1. The evaporator cover 35 covers the outer surface of the evaporator 34, and the evaporator... The evaporator cover 35 is aligned with the expansion box 11. The crossflow fan 36 is installed on the top of the box 1. The compressor 31, fan 32 and condenser 33 work together to cool the evaporator 34. The crossflow fan 36 blows the air in the box 1 through the evaporator 34 to form cold air, which is blown out through the evaporator cover 35. The evaporator cover 35 guides the cold air to the area below the evaporator cover 35 and into the expansion box 11. The cold air is blown into the box 1 and then circulated by the crossflow fan 36, so that both the box 1 and the expansion box 11 can achieve the refrigeration function. The pipes are set along the edge of the evaporator cover 35, so that the liquid container a, the pipes and the discharge pipe b are all set in the box 1 and the expansion box 11, ensuring that the temperature of the box 1 and the expansion box 11 is balanced, achieving a better cooling effect and meeting the requirements of full-pipe refrigeration of liquids.

[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the evaporator outer cover 35 includes a cover body 351, a trapezoidal air guide duct 353, and an air outlet duct 352. The cover body 351 is installed on the inner surface of the housing 1 and covers the outer surface of the evaporator 34. The air outlet duct 352 is connected to the cover body 351 through the trapezoidal air guide duct 353. The outlet of the air outlet duct 352 is aligned with the expansion box 11. The trapezoidal air guide duct 353 guides cold air to the air outlet duct 352, so that the cold air is guided into the expansion box 11 through the air outlet duct 352, giving the expansion box 11 a refrigeration function. An air inlet 354 is provided on the cover body 351. Air inlet 354 is located on the end face of enclosure 351, and air inlet 354 is aligned with air outlet duct 352. Crossflow fan 36 is aligned with air inlet 354. Crossflow fan 36 blows air from enclosure 1 to air inlet 354. The air passes through evaporator 34 located in enclosure 351, cooling the air and forming cold air. A sloped air outlet 355 is provided on trapezoidal air duct 353. The sloped air outlet 355 is located on the slope of trapezoidal air duct 353 and close to air outlet duct 352, allowing cold air to be blown out along the sloped air outlet 355. The cold air circulates in enclosure 1 to cool the inside of enclosure 1. In particular, a grille is provided inside enclosure 351, which allows the sloped air outlet 355 and air outlet duct 352 to discharge air evenly, ensuring the consistency of cooling temperature between enclosure 1 and expansion box 11.

[0024] A return air baffle 13 is provided on the housing 1. The return air baffle 13 is installed on one side of the liquid material box a. The return air baffle 13 is provided with return air holes 131. The return air holes 131 are evenly distributed on the surface of the return air baffle 13, so that the cold air can be evenly returned to the evaporator cover 35.

[0025] Furthermore, the inner surfaces of the housing 1 and the expansion box 11 are covered with an insulation layer 14 to prevent cold air from directly contacting the metal outer shell of the housing 1 and the expansion box 11, thus preventing cold air leakage and condensation on the outer shell.

[0026] The embodiments described above are merely preferred examples of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of this utility model patent application.
