The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0047] REFERENCE Figure 1The first aspect of the present application provides a water drinking device, which comprises a shell and a refrigeration system.

[0048] The shell can be made of aluminum alloy or other metal materials. The aluminum alloy has high strength, which can effectively ensure the stability of the shell structure and prevent deformation and damage under various working conditions. At the same time, the aluminum alloy has relatively light weight, which will not bring excessive load to the water drinking device. The shell is provided with a device for storing and conveying water, such as a water tank and a waterway structure. The water tank is used to store water, and the waterway structure conveys water from the water tank to the subsequent processing or output link of the water drinking device to provide stable water flow for users. At the same time, the water drinking device is also equipped with a control unit, such as an electronic circuit, a chip or a controller. The control unit controls the operation of the water drinking device according to the user's operation instructions and preset programs, coordinates the work of each part in the water drinking device, and ensures the normal operation of the device. The main machine is installed with various sensors such as water level sensors, which can detect the water level in the water tank to prevent water overflow. In addition, some water drinking devices are provided with a filtering device to filter impurities, odors, bacteria and the like in water, thereby improving the quality of drinking water and providing users with healthier and safer drinking water. The refrigeration system is arranged in the shell, and the water flow flows into the refrigeration system from the water tank through the waterway structure. The refrigeration system uses its refrigeration technology to rapidly perform refrigeration on the flowing water, and converts the normal temperature water into low temperature cold water for output,

[0049] In the related art, the compressor is the main part of the refrigeration system, and the compressor changes the heat exchange by doing work. In the water drinking device, the compressor is often used to refrigerate beverages or water, and the liquid medium of the compressor needs to exchange heat with the outside through the condenser. However, due to the structure of the condenser itself and the assembly mode between the condenser and the compressor, the space occupied by the combination of the two is large, which is not conducive to the miniaturization requirement of the water drinking device.

[0050] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The second aspect of the present application provides a refrigeration system 100. In the embodiments of the present application, the refrigeration system 100 comprises a mounting seat 10, a compressor 20 and a condenser 30.

[0051] The upper surface of the mounting seat 10 is recessed to form a mounting groove 121, and the side wall is provided with a mounting port 1211 communicating with the mounting groove 121. The mounting seat 10 can be in the form of a rectangular body. This regular shape facilitates the layout in the limited internal space of the water drinking device, and can be closely combined with the surrounding parts to reasonably plan the exclusive area for the compressor 20 and the condenser 30, thereby avoiding space conflicts.

[0052] The compressor 20 is arranged on the mounting seat 10 and located above the mounting groove 121. The compressor 20 as a core component pressurizes the refrigerant, so as to promote the gas-liquid conversion of the refrigerant. After passing through the compressor 20, the refrigerant becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure gas state. Such a high-temperature and high-pressure state is to make the refrigerant have enough temperature difference in the condenser 30 to dissipate heat to the outside, so as to complete refrigeration. The compressor 20 can be fixed on the mounting seat 10 in a detachable manner such as screw connection. On the one hand, the detachable connection design provides great convenience for subsequent maintenance. Once the compressor 20 fails and needs to be repaired or replaced parts, the operator can easily remove it using simple tools without complex procedures, effectively shortening the maintenance time and reducing the impact of equipment downtime on user water demand. On the other hand, the layout of placing the compressor 20 above the mounting groove 121 makes full use of the vertical space, and cooperates with the regular rectangular structure of the mounting seat 10, so that the space planning of the refrigeration system 100 in the water dispenser is more reasonable, avoiding crowded collision with other components in the horizontal direction, ensuring the overall structure compact and orderly, and further improving the stability of the refrigeration system 100 and even the whole water dispenser.

[0053] The condenser 30 is arranged in the mounting groove 121 through the mounting opening 1211 and is connected with the compressor 20 in refrigerant. The mounting groove 121 provides a containing space for the condenser 30 to make the condenser 30 stable and avoid shaking and displacement affecting heat exchange and overall operation stability. The condenser 30 and the compressor 20 can be connected through a pipeline to realize refrigerant exchange. Specifically, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant of the compressor 20 enters the condenser 30, and then enters the condenser 30 and is condensed and cooled in the condenser 30, so as to facilitate the subsequent refrigeration process.

[0054] In some embodiments, the condenser 30 is a micro-channel condenser, which includes at least one micro-channel flow pipe arranged in the mounting groove 121 in a curved shape.

[0055] The micro-channel condenser comprises at least one micro-channel flow pipe, which is a pipe internally containing a plurality of micro-channels, can increase the pipe area through which the liquid medium flows, that is, increase the contact area of the liquid medium with the pipe through which the liquid medium flows, and improve the heat dissipation effect on the liquid medium. Specifically, a plurality of micro-channels arranged side by side are formed in the micro-channel flow pipe. In this embodiment, the micro-channel flow pipe is in the shape of a flat tube, and the number of micro-channels is 7, 8 or 9, which can be adjusted according to different refrigerant flow and compressor 20 power. These micro-channels substantially increase the pipe area through which the refrigerant flows, that is, greatly expand the contact range of the refrigerant with the pipe, so that the heat dissipation effect is significantly improved. It should be noted that the number of micro-channels is not limited to the above number, and the number of micro-channels can be adjusted according to actual design requirements and use requirements. In addition, the micro-channel flow pipe is curved to increase the contact area, and the shape of the micro-channel flow pipe can also be changed according to actual design requirements and use requirements. In order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the micro-channel flow pipe, a heat sink, also known as a fin, is arranged between the two adjacent micro-channel flow pipes, or between the adjacent pipe walls of the micro-channel flow pipe. When heat is transferred from the micro-channel flow pipe to the heat sink, the heat sink has a larger surface area, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of heat dissipation to the outside environment. It should be noted that the condenser 30 can also be a natural heat dissipation Bundy tube condenser or a heat dissipation fin type condenser.

[0056] Based on the above embodiment, by arranging the compressor 20 on the mounting seat 10 above the mounting groove 121, and allowing the condenser 30 to pass through the mounting opening 1211 and be accommodated in the mounting groove 121, the mounting seat 10 and the condenser 30 are combined into one, and are arranged below the compressor 20. In this way, the compressor 20 and the condenser 30 are no longer dispersedly arranged, but are closely combined, and the integration degree is greatly improved. From the root, the problem of large occupation of the two in combination is changed, each space is effectively utilized, and the idle and waste of space is avoided, thereby meeting the demand for miniaturization of the drinking water equipment. Moreover, the arrangement of the mounting groove 121 can compact the overall structure on the premise of ensuring that the condenser 30 and the evaporator can normally exchange heat without being affected, successfully reduces the occupied space, and effectively promotes the development of the drinking water equipment towards miniaturization. On the other hand, the mounting opening 1211 of the mounting groove 121 is communicated with the side wall of the mounting seat 10, which provides great convenience for dismounting and mounting the condenser 30. When maintenance, replacement and other operations are performed, the position of the compressor 20 will not hinder the operation, and the operator can conveniently and efficiently complete the work, saving time and reducing cost.

[0057] Referring to Figures 2 to 4In some embodiments, the mounting base 10 is provided with a heat dissipation channel 10A extending from the bottom surface of the mounting base 10 to the bottom of the mounting groove 121. The condenser 30 generates heat during operation, and the heat dissipation channel 10A is of great significance. It breaks the originally relatively closed space pattern around the condenser 30, so that the surrounding air can flow smoothly along the channel. The air can easily enter from the bottom surface, fully contact the condenser 30 along the channel, and rapidly transfer heat from the condenser 30 to the air by virtue of the temperature difference between the air and the surface of the condenser 30; then, the hot air carrying heat rises along the channel and is discharged outward. In this way, the heat dissipation channel 10A greatly facilitates efficient heat exchange between the condenser 30 and the surrounding air, ensures that the condenser 30 always maintains an appropriate working temperature range, and effectively ensures stable and efficient operation of the entire refrigeration system 100.

[0058] Further, the refrigeration system 100 further comprises a fan 40 arranged on the mounting base 10 and below the condenser 30, and the fan 40 is used to blow air to the condenser 30 through the heat dissipation channel 10A. When the refrigeration system 100 is running, the fan 40 is quickly started to strongly suck external air, and then continuously blows air to the condenser 30 through the heat dissipation channel 10A. Due to the power provided by the fan 40, the air flow rate is accelerated, and a large amount of air can more efficiently reach the surface of the condenser 30 along the heat dissipation channel 10A. By virtue of the temperature difference between the air and the condenser 30, heat is rapidly transferred from the condenser 30 to the flowing air, and the hot air is carried out along the channel. In this way, the arrangement of the fan 40 significantly enhances the heat exchange efficiency between the condenser 30 and the external air, so that the condenser 30 can be cooled in time, and the entire refrigeration system 100 is effectively ensured to stably and efficiently continuously refrigerate.

[0059] Further, the mounting base 10 comprises a first seat body 11 and a second seat body 12, the fan 40 is installed on the first seat body 11, and the bottom of the first seat body 11 is provided with a first air passage hole 111. The second seat body 12 is detachably connected with the first seat body 11, the second seat body 12 is located above the first seat body 11, the compressor 20 is arranged on the second seat body 12, the surface of the second seat body 12 away from the first seat body 11 forms a mounting groove 121, the bottom of the second seat body 12 is provided with a second air passage hole 122 communicating with the mounting groove 121, and the first air passage hole 111 and the second air passage hole 122 are sequentially communicated to form the heat dissipation channel 10A.

[0060] It can be understood that the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 are combined in a detachable connection manner, such as screws, buckle connection, which not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also facilitates disassembly. In this way, by forming the first seat body 11 and the second seat body 12 arranged in a split manner, the fan 40 and the condenser 30 are respectively installed, so that when the fan 40 fails later, maintenance personnel can directly disassemble the first seat body 11 to quickly overhaul or replace the fan 40, and the maintenance process will not affect the condenser 30. The first air passage 111 and the second air passage 122 are provided to facilitate the rapid passage of airflow to ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 30 with the outside air, so that the condenser 30 can dissipate heat in time, and the stability and efficiency of the entire refrigeration system 100 are effectively ensured.

[0061] Further, the mounting seat 10 further comprises a limiting piece 13, the limiting piece 13 is connected with the second seat body 12 and located in the mounting groove 121, and the limiting piece 13 is used for abutting against the surface of the bottom of the mounting groove 121 away from the condenser 30. In this way, through such design, the stability of the condenser 30 in the mounting groove 121 is significantly improved, effectively preventing unnecessary collision between the condenser 30 and the bottom of the compressor 20 during operation, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure.

[0062] Further, the limiting piece 13 is provided with a plurality of limiting pieces 13, and the plurality of limiting pieces 13 are arranged in the mounting groove 121. Such layout ensures that the condenser 30 can be uniformly and multi-point supported during installation, thereby further enhancing the stability and reliability of the condenser 30 in the mounting groove 121. In addition, the limiting piece 13 is ingeniously arranged on the side wall of the mounting groove 121 away from the mounting port 1211. Such layout design takes into account the actual operation in the installation process, and the limiting piece 13 away from the mounting port 1211 can significantly reduce the risk of interference during installation of the condenser 30, making the installation process more smooth and unobstructed.

[0063] Optionally, the limiting piece 13 and the second seat body 12 are an integral structure. This design not only simplifies the production process and reduces the assembly link, but also enhances the connection strength between the limiting piece 13 and the second seat body 12, ensuring the stability and reliability of the limiting piece 13 in long-term use. At the same time, the design of the integral structure also reduces the risk of loosening due to improper assembly or long-term use, further improving the stability of the condenser 30 in the mounting groove 121.

[0064] Referring to Figures 2 to 4Optionally, the surface of the first seat body 11 away from the second seat body 12 is provided with a fixing groove 112, the first air passing hole 111 is communicated with the groove bottom of the fixing groove 112, the fan 40 is embedded in the fixing groove 112, and the fixing groove 112, the first air passing hole 111 and the second air passing hole 122 are sequentially communicated to form the heat dissipation channel 10A. On the one hand, the fixing groove 112 provides a precise and stable mounting position for the fan 40, so that the fan 40 cannot easily shake or shift during operation, thereby ensuring the stability of the operation of the fan 40 and ensuring that the fan 40 can continuously and efficiently blow air, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the fan 40. On the other hand, when the fan 40 operates, external air is strongly sucked into the fixing groove 112, and then passes through the first air passing hole 111 and the second air passing hole 122 to form a smooth and high-speed air flow channel. By virtue of the rapid flow of air, the condenser 30 can efficiently exchange heat with external air, and heat can be rapidly dissipated, thereby effectively ensuring that the entire refrigeration system 100 can stably and efficiently continuously refrigerate, and the compact structure also reduces the failure rate of the equipment and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0065] With reference to Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the refrigeration system 100 further comprises a stopper 50 which is detachably connected to the mounting seat 10 and at least partially located in the mounting opening 1211 to abut against the surface of the condenser 30 close to the mounting opening 1211. In this way, when the condenser 30 is installed, the stopper 50 is tightly abutted against the surface of the condenser 30 close to the mounting opening 1211. During subsequent use of the equipment, external forces generated due to operation, handling and the like of the equipment may cause the condenser 30 to have a risk of being detached from the mounting opening 1211, and the stopper 50 can effectively resist these external forces to firmly fix the condenser 30 on the side close to the mounting opening 1211, thereby ensuring that the condenser 30 is always in the correct installation position. This makes the connection between the components of the refrigeration system 100 stable, avoids problems such as refrigerant leakage and reduced refrigeration efficiency due to displacement of the condenser 30, and effectively ensures that the entire refrigeration system 100 can continuously and efficiently refrigerate, thereby effectively prolonging the reliable operation time of the entire equipment.

[0066] With reference to Figure 5Further, the stopper 50 comprises a connecting part 51 and a stopper part 52, the connecting part 51 is detachably connected to the mounting seat 10. The stopper part 52 is connected to the connecting part 51, and the stopper part 52 is located in the mounting port 1211, and the side of the stopper part 52 facing the condenser 30 is provided with a clamping groove 521 for fixing the condenser 30. Among them, the connecting part 51 is detachably connected with the mounting seat 10, and such detachable connection can be realized by a buckle structure, and when installing, only need to align the connecting part 51 with the corresponding clamping groove 521 or buckle position on the mounting seat 10, and then press gently to fix, and reverse operation can be used for disassembly; Or use screw connection, use screw to fasten the connecting part 51 on the mounting seat 10, and when repairing or replacing, unscrew the screw to easily remove it. After the stopper part 52 is stably connected with the connecting part 51, it is accurately positioned in the mounting port 1211. The clamping groove 521 is carefully arranged on the side of the stopper part 52 facing the condenser 30, and when the condenser 30 is installed in place, the clamping groove 521 just clamps the condenser 30. In this way, the clamping groove 521 provides accurate and stable lateral support and positioning for the condenser 30, and cooperates with other fixing modes of the mounting seat 10 to the condenser 30 to ensure that the condenser 30 will not displace or shake under various working conditions such as equipment operation and handling. This makes the connection between the components of the refrigeration system 100 always stable, effectively avoids problems such as refrigerant leakage and reduced refrigeration efficiency caused by displacement of the condenser 30, and ensures continuous and efficient refrigeration of the entire refrigeration system 100, effectively prolongs the reliable working time of the entire equipment.

[0067] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the refrigeration system 100 further comprises a bracket 60 connected above the mounting seat 10 and a cold tank assembly 70. The cold tank assembly 70 is connected with the compressor 20 and the condenser 30, and is supported on the bracket 60, so that the cold tank assembly 70 is located above the compressor 20.

[0068] Among them, the bracket 60 can be fixed on the mounting seat 10 by detachable connection, and provides a support platform for the cold tank assembly 70. The cold tank assembly 70 comprises a closely fitted evaporator and a tank body, the tank body is in communication with the waterway structure of the drinking water equipment, and the evaporator is closely connected with the compressor 20 and the condenser 30 through the refrigerant pipeline, forming a complete refrigeration cycle link.

[0069] The compressor 20 is the core component of the refrigeration system 100, responsible for sucking in low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant and compressing it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas through mechanical means. This step is the starting point of the entire refrigeration cycle, and then the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the condenser 30. The condenser 30 is a radiator, which is in contact with the outside air or cooling medium, allowing the refrigerant to release heat and cool into a high-pressure liquid. Then, the high-pressure liquid passes through the throttling device (expansion valve) into the evaporator. The function of the throttling device is to reduce the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, so that it reaches a suitable state for evaporation before entering the evaporator. In the evaporator, the low-pressure liquid refrigerant evaporates rapidly, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment. The evaporator and the tank body are tightly attached together, so that the heat of the tank body can be transferred to the evaporator. The refrigerant in the evaporator evaporates when heated, i.e. from liquid to gas. The evaporation process of the refrigerant can remove a large amount of heat, so that the evaporator can absorb a large amount of heat from the tank body, thereby completing the refrigeration. Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure gas enters the compressor 20 again, starting a new round of refrigeration cycle.

[0070] It is worth mentioning that the cold tank assembly 70, the compressor 20 and the condenser 30 are arranged in a stacked manner. This layout not only significantly optimizes the space utilization efficiency and reduces the overall floor area, but also greatly improves the installation convenience and environmental adaptability of the equipment. Whether in a space-limited environment or in a situation where high-efficiency operation is pursued, the refrigeration system 100 can ensure efficient and stable refrigeration process with a compact and stable structure, fully demonstrating its significant advantages in improving the practicality and adaptability of the equipment.
