Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slush bucket technology, specifically to a novel slush bucket structure. Background Technology

[0002] Most existing slush buckets consist of inner and outer cylinders. The inner cylinder is often made of copper, which is expensive. The outer wall of the inner cylinder is machined with spiral channels for refrigerant flow. The outer edge of the spiral channels needs to be welded to the inner wall of the outer cylinder. However, welding the outer edge of the spiral channels is very difficult and prone to localized incomplete welding. This can easily cause air leakage between adjacent channels. Once air leakage occurs between channels, the cooling effect on the local surface of the slush bucket will be greatly reduced, affecting the overall quality. Therefore, designing a new type of slush bucket structure to solve the above problems is particularly important. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model designs a new type of slush bucket structure. It replaces the traditional copper spiral flow channel by welding several annular steel plates to the outer wall of the inner cylinder. This not only greatly reduces the cost, but also makes it easier to weld and fix to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, reducing the possibility of cross-contamination between adjacent refrigerant flow channels.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a novel slush bucket structure, including an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. The circumferential surface of the outer cylinder is a cooling surface. The inner cylinder is sealed inside the outer cylinder. Several annular steel plates are welded and fixed to the outer wall of the inner cylinder from front to back. The outer circumferential surface of the annular steel plates is sealed to the inner wall of the outer cylinder. A refrigerant flow channel is formed between two adjacent steel plates. A notch is provided on the outer wall of the annular steel plate, and two adjacent refrigerant flow channels are interconnected through the notch on the annular steel plate. A refrigerant inlet pipe and a refrigerant outlet pipe are connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder. The refrigerant inlet pipe is connected to the inner wall at the rear end of the inner cylinder and communicates with the refrigerant flow channel. The refrigerant outlet pipe is connected to the inner wall at the front end of the inner cylinder and communicates with the refrigerant flow channel.

[0005] Further: The inner cylinder is composed of the cylinder itself and annular protrusions at both ends of the cylinder. A refrigerant inlet channel is formed between the annular steel plate at the rear end and the annular protrusion at the rear end of the cylinder. The refrigerant inlet pipe is connected to the inner wall of the refrigerant inlet channel. The refrigerant inlet channel is connected to the refrigerant flow channel through a notch on the rear annular steel plate. A refrigerant outlet channel is formed between the annular steel plate at the front end and the annular protrusion at the front end of the cylinder. The refrigerant outlet pipe is connected to the inner wall of the refrigerant outlet channel. The refrigerant outlet channel is connected to the refrigerant flow channel through a notch on the front annular steel plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the notches on the two adjacent annular steel plates are arranged one above the other, with the notches on the frontmost and backmost annular steel plates located at the bottommost end. The refrigerant inlet channel is connected to the top of the cylinder itself, and the refrigerant outlet channel is connected to the inner wall at the upper end of the cylinder itself.

[0007] Furthermore, the rear end of the outer cylinder is provided with an annular positioning and fixing plate integrated therewith. Five U-shaped grooves for installation and fixing are opened around the annular positioning and fixing plate, and two semi-circular positioning grooves are also opened on the outer wall of the annular positioning and fixing plate.

[0008] By adopting the above structure, this utility model replaces the traditional copper spiral flow channel by welding several annular steel plates on the outer wall of the inner cylinder. This not only greatly reduces the cost, but also makes it easier to weld and fix to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, reducing the possibility of cross-contamination between adjacent refrigerant flow channels. Furthermore, this design has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing, and practical efficiency. Attached Figure Description
