Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cooler, specifically a water-cooled cooler, and belongs to the field of cooler technology. Background Technology

[0002] Brewing is the process of converting starch and sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide using fermentation technology. In brewing, the fermenting agent converts the sugar in malt, fruit or other starch sources into alcohol. This process requires a certain temperature, moisture and air, and the time varies depending on the type of alcohol. Since the alcohol has a certain temperature during the brewing process, a cooler is needed to cool the alcohol in order to facilitate further processing.

[0003] However, most existing coolers have various problems. For example, in a water-cooled brewing device disclosed in announcement number CN207159185U, although the distillation pipe is equipped with a water-cooling device to dissipate heat from the raw materials in all directions with excellent heat dissipation effect, and has a stainless steel exhaust pipe with excellent exhaust flow, and a honeycomb heating device for slag removal, a guide pipe is generally required when circulating the coolant. In order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the guide pipe, the guide pipe and the cooling device are mostly connected by quick-release butt joints. Although this connection method can be quickly disassembled and assembled, the butt joint connection structure is not stable enough. When subjected to external forces, such as collisions or pulling, the connection is prone to loosening and separation, which can lead to leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing technologies are too simplistic. Specifically, the purpose of this utility model is to solve the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a water-cooled cooler.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A water-cooled cooler includes a cooling tank, end caps, water-cooling pipes, connecting pipes, a support plate, and a pipe locking mechanism. The end caps are fixed to the upper and lower ends of the cooling tank, the water-cooling pipes are fixed between the upper and lower end caps and have cavities inside the end caps, one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the center of the end caps and the other end is connected to an external coolant guide pipe, the support plate is fixed to the outer wall of the cooling tank, and the pipe locking mechanism is disposed on the support plate.

[0007] The pipe locking mechanism includes a limiting plate, a sliding groove, a locking block, and a clamping plate. The limiting plate is fixed on the support plate and is coaxially arranged with the end of the connecting pipe away from the end cap. A through hole is provided through the center of the limiting plate. The sliding groove is recessed on the limiting plate. The locking block is slidably engaged in the sliding groove. The clamping plate is fixed on the locking block. Multiple locking blocks and clamping plates are equidistantly arranged on the limiting plate and are combined to form a circular structure.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the pipe locking mechanism further includes an adjusting plate, an adjusting groove, and a lever. The adjusting plate is coaxially rotatably connected to the side of the limiting plate away from the clamping plate. The adjusting groove is set on the adjusting plate and has an arc-shaped structure. The lever is fixed on the locking block and is slidably engaged in the adjusting groove.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the pipe locking mechanism further includes a worm wheel, a fixed seat, and a worm. The worm wheel is coaxially sleeved outside the adjusting disc, the fixed seat is fixed on the limiting disc, and the worm is rotatably connected inside the fixed seat and meshes with the worm wheel.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a transmission rod is coaxially fixed at the center of the worm gear, one end of the transmission rod protrudes from the fixed base, and a polygonal groove is provided at the protruding end of the transmission rod.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a ratchet is coaxially fixed on the transmission rod, and a pawl is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed seat. One end of the pawl slides against the ratchet, and a spring is provided between the pawl and the fixed seat.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: a wine conduit is provided on the side wall of the cooling tank, and there are two wine conduits, which are located at the upper and lower ends of the cooling tank respectively.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a water-cooling pipe, the coolant can flow between the upper and lower end caps and the water-cooling pipe, thereby allowing the wine inside the cooling tank to be quickly cooled down. At the same time, when the coolant guide pipe is connected to the connecting pipe, the guide pipe passes through the limiting plate in the pipe locking mechanism and is clamped and locked by the locking block. This effectively prevents the connection between the guide pipe and the connecting pipe from loosening and separating when subjected to external forces, such as collisions or pulling, which could lead to leakage. Furthermore, the setting of the adjusting plate allows the locking block to move appropriately within the sliding groove, thereby allowing the diameter of the circle formed by the combination of multiple clamping plates to be adjusted appropriately according to the external coolant guide pipe. This is simple, efficient, and practical. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a water-cooled cooler includes a cooling tank 1, end caps 2, water-cooling pipes 3, connecting pipes 4, support plates 5, and pipe locking mechanisms 6. The end caps 2 are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the cooling tank 1, the water-cooling pipes 3 are fixed between the upper and lower end caps 2, and a cavity is provided inside the end caps 2. One end of the connecting pipes 4 is connected to the center of the end caps 2, and the other end is connected to an external coolant guide pipe. The support plates 5 are fixed on the outer wall of the cooling tank 1, and the pipe locking mechanisms 6 are provided on the support plates 5.

[0023] The pipe locking mechanism 6 includes a limiting plate 61, a sliding groove 62, a locking block 63, and a clamping plate 64. The limiting plate 61 is fixed on the support plate 5 and is coaxially arranged with the end of the connecting pipe 4 away from the end cap 2. A through hole is provided through the center of the limiting plate 61. The sliding groove 62 is recessed on the limiting plate 61. The locking block 63 is slidably engaged in the sliding groove 62. The clamping plate 64 is fixed on the locking block 63. Multiple locking blocks 63 and clamping plates 64 are equidistantly arranged on the limiting plate 61 and are combined to form a circular structure.

[0024] The pipe locking mechanism 6 also includes an adjusting plate 65, an adjusting groove 66, and a lever 67. The adjusting plate 65 is coaxially rotatably connected to the side of the limiting plate 61 away from the clamping plate 64. The adjusting groove 66 is set on the adjusting plate 65 and has an arc-shaped structure. The lever 67 is fixed on the locking block 63 and the lever 67 is slidably engaged in the adjusting groove 66.

[0025] In this invention, by setting up a water-cooling pipe 3, the coolant can flow between the upper and lower end caps and the water-cooling pipe 3, thereby enabling the wine inside the cooling tank 1 to be quickly cooled down. At the same time, when the coolant guide pipe is connected to the connecting pipe 4, the guide pipe passes through the limiting plate 61 in the pipe locking mechanism 6 and is clamped and locked by the locking block 63. This effectively prevents the guide pipe and the connecting pipe 4 from easily loosening and separating when subjected to external forces, such as collisions or pulling, which could lead to leakage. Furthermore, by setting up an adjusting plate 65, the locking block 63 can move appropriately within the sliding groove 62, thereby allowing the size of the circle formed by the combination of multiple clamping plates 64 to be appropriately adjusted according to the external coolant guide pipe. This design is simple, efficient, and practical.

[0026] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in addition to all the technical features included in Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0027] The pipe locking mechanism 6 also includes a worm gear 68, a fixed seat 69, and a worm 610. The worm gear 68 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the adjusting disc 65. The fixed seat 69 is fixed on the limiting disc 61. The worm 610 is rotatably connected inside the fixed seat 69 and meshes with the worm gear 68. The rotation of the worm 610 drives the worm gear 68 to mesh and move together, thereby enabling the adjusting disc 65 to rotate. The combination of the worm gear 68 and the worm 610 forms a self-locking structure, thereby locking the adjusting disc 65.

[0028] A transmission rod 611 is coaxially fixed at the center of the worm gear 610. One end of the transmission rod 611 protrudes from the fixed base 69 and a polygonal groove is provided at the protruding end of the transmission rod 611, so that the worm gear 610 can be rotated quickly through the transmission rod 611.

[0029] A ratchet 612 is coaxially fixed on the transmission rod 611, and a pawl 613 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed seat 69. One end of the pawl 613 slides against the ratchet 612, and a spring is provided between the pawl 613 and the fixed seat 69. The pawl 613 limits the ratchet 612, thereby preventing the transmission rod 611 from reversing.

[0030] The cooling tank 1 is provided with two wine conduits 7 on its side wall. The two wine conduits 7 are located at the upper and lower ends of the cooling tank 1, respectively. The wine conduits 7 enable the wine in the cooling tank 1 to be quickly introduced and exported.

[0031] When using this cooler, the wine is first introduced into the cooling tank 1 through the wine conduit 7, and the external coolant guide pipe is passed through the limiting plate 61 and connected to the connecting pipe 4. Then, the transmission rod 611 drives the worm gear 610 to rotate, which in turn causes the worm wheel 68 to mesh and move. The worm wheel 68 drives the adjusting plate 65 to rotate, causing the lever 67 to slide in the adjusting groove 66, which in turn drives the locking block 63 to slide in the sliding groove 62, and simultaneously drives the clamping plate 64 to move. The clamping plate 64 locks the coolant guide pipe, and then the coolant is introduced into the water cooling pipe 3 through the coolant guide pipe to cool the wine.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
