Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of integrated chiller and water system, specifically to an easy-to-maintain frame structure for an integrated chiller and water system. Background Technology
[0002] A combined ice and water dispenser typically refers to a drinking water device that integrates cooling, heating, and purification functions. This device provides users with clean, delicious ice or hot water to meet their drinking needs in various situations. The cooling function is usually achieved through a built-in refrigeration system, cooling the water to a suitable drinking temperature. The heating function uses a heating element to heat the water to boiling or a suitable drinking temperature. Combined ice and water dispensers usually use a touchscreen or button-based interface, allowing users to select cooling, heating, or purification functions as needed. The operation is simple and easy to understand. Combined ice and water dispensers can provide clean, delicious drinking water for families, meeting the drinking needs of family members in different situations. For example, in the hot summer, they can provide refreshing ice water to help people quench their thirst; in cold winters, they can provide warm hot water to make people feel warm and comfortable, serving as an added-value service for commercial establishments and increasing their competitiveness.
[0003] Because integrated chiller-water systems require control over cooling and heating, they need a control system compared to ordinary water dispensers. Furthermore, since most integrated chiller-water systems include an ice-making module, regular maintenance is necessary to ensure normal operation. Most machines on the market require the entire outer casing to be removed for maintenance and then reassembled afterward, which is quite complicated. This also poses certain difficulties during production and assembly. Therefore, an integrated chiller-water system with a simple outer casing is needed. Utility Model Content

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects: Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an easy-to-maintain integrated chiller frame structure, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The frame structure of this easy-to-maintain integrated chiller effectively isolates and protects internal components such as the heating and water pumping components and the ice-making module. Furthermore, the top cover, upper rear cover, and lower rear cover allow for convenient disassembly and installation without disassembling the entire outer casing. When a specific component needs repair or replacement, simply remove the corresponding cover, greatly simplifying the maintenance process and improving efficiency. Since maintenance does not require disassembly of the entire device, it reduces potential damage and additional costs associated with disassembly and reassembly. The independent design and easy disassembly of the covers also reduce time costs during maintenance, thereby lowering overall maintenance costs. During the production process, the relatively simple and easy-to-manufacture design of the cover plate can speed up production and improve efficiency. At the same time, the overall design of the frame structure facilitates assembly and debugging, further shortening the production cycle. The frame structure design provides better protection for internal components, reducing the risk of damage to internal components caused by external factors (such as collisions, vibrations, etc.). The sealing and stability of the cover plate also ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment during operation. The easy-to-maintain design allows users to receive repair services more quickly when encountering equipment failures, reducing the inconvenience caused by equipment failures. Meanwhile, the improved stability and reliability of the equipment also enhance users' trust and satisfaction with the product.
[0015] 2. The frame structure of this easy-to-maintain chiller unit features a quick-release mechanism that allows the connecting seat to be quickly and easily connected or separated from the top cover plate without the need for additional tools or complicated procedures. The locking blocks and grooves ensure a secure connection between the connecting seat and the top cover plate, preventing equipment malfunctions or safety hazards caused by loosening or misalignment. This design also improves the equipment's vibration and impact resistance during transportation and use. The quick-release structure allows for rapid removal of the connecting seat or top cover plate when cleaning, maintenance, or replacement is required, improving maintenance convenience and efficiency. It also allows users easier access to other internal components for comprehensive maintenance and cleaning. The rectangular interval array design increases the contact area between the upper and lower back covers, making the connection more robust. The interlocking edge design further enhances the connection strength, preventing damage from vibration or external forces. To prevent loosening or misalignment caused by use, the rectangular interval array and interlocking design help form a tight seal, preventing water, dust, or other impurities from entering the equipment. This protects the cleanliness and normal operation of internal components. This sealing performance is particularly important for integrated chiller-water systems, as it ensures the purity and hygiene of hot and cold water. Although the rectangular interval array and interlocking design increase the complexity of the connection, it also means that the two can be easily separated or joined by specific methods (such as pressing, rotating, etc.) during disassembly and assembly. This design allows users to more quickly disassemble the upper and lower back covers when they need to repair or replace internal components, improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance. The rectangular interval array and interlocking design is not only practical but also enhances the overall aesthetics of the equipment. This design makes the connection between the upper and lower back covers neater and more orderly, giving a refined and high-end feel. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 The easily maintainable integrated ice and water dispenser frame structure includes a water dispenser body 1, which is an integrated ice and water dispenser with an ice-making module. The upper half of the water dispenser body 1 has a heating and water pumping component, and the lower half has an ice-making module. The water dispenser body 1 has an overall frame structure, formed by two side panels and a connecting frame. A top cover 11 is provided on the top of the water dispenser body 1, and a connecting seat 12 for connecting to a water tank is provided in the middle of the top cover 11. The back of the water dispenser body 1 has... The upper back cover 13 and the lower back cover 14 are fixed to the side panel of the water dispenser body 1. The upper back cover 11, the upper back cover 13 and the lower back cover 14 are not affected when disassembling them. The back of the water dispenser body 1 is divided into two parts by the upper back cover 13 and the lower back cover 14. The position of the upper back cover 13 corresponds to the position of the heating and water pumping assembly, and the position of the lower back cover 14 corresponds to the position of the ice making module.
[0025] This integrated ice and water machine adopts a frame structure, with two side plates and a connecting frame forming the frame. The internal components such as water pumping and cooling are housed inside. The frame structure is externally wrapped by an upper cover plate 11, a rear upper cover plate 13, and a rear lower cover plate 14. The position of the rear upper cover plate 13 corresponds to the position of the heating and water pumping components, and the position of the rear lower cover plate 14 corresponds to the position of the ice making module. When it is necessary to inspect the internal equipment, only the cover plate at the corresponding position needs to be removed. Compared with traditional equipment, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire outer shell during inspection. At the same time, the cover plate is also easier to manufacture and assemble during the production process.
[0026] See Figures 5-6The connecting seat 12 and the upper cover plate 11 adopt a quick-release structure. The bottom of the connecting seat 12 is provided with a protruding locking block 121, and the upper cover plate 11 is provided with a groove for limiting the locking block 121. The connecting seat 12 drives the locking block 121 to rotate, so that the locking block 121 is locked into the limiting groove to achieve fixation, which enhances the connection stability between the connecting seat 12 and the upper cover plate 11 and improves the overall reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0027] The upper cover plate 11, the back upper cover plate 13, and the back lower cover plate 14 are fixed with screws.
[0028] The lower edge of the upper back cover 13 and the upper edge of the lower back cover 14 are provided with a rectangular interval array, and the upper back cover 13 and the lower back cover 14 are interlocked with each other. The design of the rectangular interval array increases the contact area between the upper back cover 13 and the lower back cover 14, making the connection between the two more secure. The interlocking edge design further enhances the connection strength between the two, preventing loosening or misalignment caused by vibration or external force. The rectangular interval array and the interlocking design help to form a tight sealing structure, preventing water, dust or other impurities from entering the equipment, thereby protecting the cleanliness and normal operation of the internal components. Although the rectangular interval array and the interlocking design increase the complexity of the connection, this also means that during disassembly and assembly, the two can be easily separated or combined by specific methods (such as pressing, rotating, etc.).
[0029] The upper back cover 13 is provided with a window panel 131, which is fixed to the upper back cover 13 by screws and is made of transparent material.
[0030] The upper back cover 13 has a handle groove 132 above the window panel 131.
[0031] The area of the lower back cover 14 is larger than that of the upper back cover 13, and a vertical rectangular protrusion is provided on the lower back cover 14.
[0032] Working principle: This integrated chiller and water machine adopts a frame structure, with two side plates and a connecting frame forming the frame. The internal components such as water pumping and cooling are set inside, and the frame structure is wrapped by an upper cover plate 11, a back upper cover plate 13, and a back lower cover plate 14. The position of the back upper cover plate 13 corresponds to the position of the heating and water pumping components, and the position of the back lower cover plate 14 corresponds to the ice making module. When it is necessary to inspect the internal equipment, only the cover plate at the corresponding position needs to be removed. Compared with traditional equipment, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire outer shell during inspection. At the same time, the cover plate is also easier to manufacture and assemble during the production process.
