Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heating device technology, specifically a water bath heating device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, bottled / canned beverages are popular due to their portability and ease of storage. However, most purchased canned / bottled beverages are cold, and drinking cold drinks can easily cause stomach discomfort, especially in winter or colder weather, when people prefer hot drinks. Existing technologies typically use products such as beverage coolers, microwave ovens, and insulated cup mats to heat or keep beverages warm. However, beverages heated or kept warm by beverage coolers are kept in a heated state for extended periods, which can affect their shelf life. Microwave heating is limited by the beverage packaging, and insulated cup mats have a long heating time, making it difficult to achieve rapid heating. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this application provides a water bath heating device for heating bottled / canned beverages. After being placed in the water bath chamber, the bottled / canned beverage is completely submerged in the water bath environment. The first and second clamping parts jointly hold and fix the bottled / canned beverage, causing it to rotate in the high-temperature water within the chamber. This improves the heating efficiency of the bottled / canned beverage while ensuring a uniform temperature distribution inside the beverage, preventing the possibility of overheating of the liquid portion.

[0004] This application provides a water bath heating device, including: a base having a base housing and a drive unit disposed within the base housing; a water bath chamber supported by the base, the water bath chamber being formed by a bottom of the water bath chamber, a shell of the water bath chamber, and a top cover of the water bath chamber; a drive shaft with one end connected to the drive unit and the other end extending into the water bath chamber via the bottom of the water bath chamber, wherein the water bath chamber further includes: a first clamping part connected to the drive shaft, the drive unit driving the first clamping part to rotate via the drive shaft; and a second clamping part mounted on the top cover of the water bath chamber in a manner that allows it to rotate coaxially with the first clamping part and disposed opposite to the first clamping part.

[0005] According to this technical solution, when bottled / canned beverages need to be heated, the first and second clamping parts jointly clamp and fix the beverage, immersing the entire beverage in the water bath. This allows the liquid in the beverage to exchange heat with the high-temperature water bath environment, avoiding the problems of temperature differences between the upper and lower parts of the liquid and low heating efficiency that can occur when only partially submerged or when using a heating coaster, where heat exchange only occurs with the bottom of the beverage. Simultaneously, a drive unit located in the base drives the first clamping part to rotate via a transmission shaft, causing the first clamping part to rotate along with the second clamping part, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the liquid and the water bath environment. Furthermore, the rotation of the beverage bottle increases the liquid flow rate, improving the efficiency of convective heat transfer and internal heat exchange within the liquid, reducing temperature differences and improving the drinking experience for the user.

[0006] In optional technical solutions, the water bath heating device also includes a heating module disposed within the base housing.

[0007] According to this technical solution, a heating module is installed inside the base housing to provide heat to the water bath chamber, raising the water temperature to or maintaining the set temperature, thus making the water bath heating device more convenient to use. Simultaneously, when the water temperature in the water bath chamber decreases, the heating module provides heat to maintain the water at a higher temperature, creating a larger temperature difference between the water and the liquid inside the beverage bottle, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the liquid in the beverage bottle and the water bath environment.

[0008] In optional technical solutions, the water bath heating device also includes a temperature sensor installed inside the water bath chamber.

[0009] In the optional technical solution, the water bath heating device also includes: a thermostat that corresponds to the temperature sensor and the heating module, compares the temperature detected by the temperature sensor with the set temperature, and controls the opening and closing of the heating module according to the comparison result.

[0010] According to this technical solution, a temperature sensor installed inside the water bath detects the water temperature. When the water temperature reaches the set temperature, the heating module is shut off and enters a heat preservation state, improving energy efficiency while preventing excessively high water temperatures from affecting the bottled / canned beverage containers. When the water temperature is below the set temperature, the heating module is activated to provide heat to the water bath, raising the water temperature and increasing the temperature difference between the water and the liquid in the beverage bottle, thus improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0011] In the optional technical solution, the water bath heating device also includes: a control switch disposed on the outside of the base housing; and a display panel disposed on the outside of the base housing corresponding to the control switch.

[0012] According to this technical solution, the operating mode of the water bath heating device is controlled by adjusting a control switch located on the outside of the base housing. Different operating modes can be set according to the different materials of beverage bottles, such as aluminum cans or plastic bottles, avoiding the problems of canned beverages not reaching the required temperature quickly or plastic bottled beverages deforming due to excessive heat when using a fixed heating mode. A display panel corresponding to the control switch provides a more intuitive display of the working status of the water bath heating device or the internal temperature of the water bath chamber, making the water bath heating device more convenient to use.

[0013] In the optional technical solution, the first clamping part is cylindrical and the surface of the cylinder is provided with a plurality of first clamping part openings; the second clamping part is cylindrical and the surface of the cylinder is provided with a plurality of second clamping part openings.

[0014] According to this technical solution, the first and second clamping parts are controlled to be cylindrical, so that they fit snugly against the shape of the canned / bottled beverage, making the water bath heating device more compatible with the canned / bottled beverage. Simultaneously, when the drive unit rotates the first and second clamping parts within the water bath, the cylindrical shape reduces the resistance to rotation in the water, increasing the rotational speed and thus improving the heating efficiency of the water bath heating device.

[0015] In the optional technical solution, the water bath heating device further includes: a plurality of clamping claws formed integrally by bending the edges of the opening of the first clamping part or the opening of the second clamping part at a predetermined angle to the surface of the first clamping part or the second clamping part.

[0016] According to this technical solution, multiple clamping claws are provided, which are integrally formed by bending the edges of the opening of the first clamping part or the opening of the second clamping part. The clamping claws clamp canned / bottled beverages, thereby improving the compatibility of the water bath heating device with beverage bottles of different shapes.

[0017] In the optional technical solution, the water bath heating device further includes a first fixing part disposed on the inner side of the end where the first clamping part is connected to the drive shaft; and a second fixing part disposed on the inner side of the end where the second clamping part is connected to the top cover of the water bath chamber.

[0018] In the optional technical solution, the first fixing part and / or the second fixing part are compressible structures.

[0019] According to this technical solution, by adapting the first or second fixing part to beverage bottles of different heights, the first clamping part and the second clamping part can more firmly clamp and fix the canned / bottled beverages, avoiding the problem of noise or inability to rotate completely synchronously when the canned / bottled beverages are rotated.

[0020] In the optional technical solution, the compressible structure is a soft pad.

[0021] According to this technical solution, using a soft pad as a compressible structure improves the overall stability of the equipment when driving bottled / canned beverages to rotate at high speed.

[0022] In the optional technical solutions, the compressible structure is an inflatable airbag.

[0023] According to this technical solution, an inflatable airbag is used as a compressible structure, which allows the water bath heating device to be adapted to bottled / canned beverages of different heights, and to more firmly clamp and fix different bottled / canned beverages.

[0024] In the optional technical solution, the compressible component is a spring assembly.

[0025] According to this technical solution, a spring assembly is used as a compressible structure. The bottled / canned beverage is fixed in the axial direction of the cylinder by the compression of the spring assembly. At the same time, when the top cover of the water bath is opened after heating is completed, the spring assembly changes from the compressed state to the free state, thereby pushing out the bottled / canned beverage, which is convenient for the bottled / canned beverage to be taken out after heating is completed.

[0026] In the optional technical solution, the drive unit is an adjustable speed motor, and the speed of the adjustable speed motor does not exceed 2000 rpm.

[0027] According to this technical solution, an adjustable speed motor is used as the drive unit, allowing different speeds to be set according to user needs, thus improving the compatibility of the water bath heating device with different canned / bottled beverages. At the same time, the adjustable speed motor is set to not exceed 2000 rpm, reducing the possibility of excessive speed causing noise or affecting the heated canned / bottled beverages.

Detailed Implementation

[0033] 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.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the water bath heating device 1 in the embodiments of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the water bath heating device 1 provided in this embodiment includes: a base 2 and a water bath chamber 3 supported by the base 2. The water bath chamber 3 is formed by the water bath chamber bottom 4, the water bath chamber outer shell 5 and the water bath chamber top cover 6.

[0035] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the water bath heating device 1 in the embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the base 2 in the embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a drive unit 7 is provided in the base 2, and the water bath 3 is connected to the base 2 via a drive shaft 8. One end of the drive shaft 8 is connected to the drive unit 7, and the other end extends into the water bath 3 through the bottom 4 of the water bath 3. The water bath 3 also includes a first clamping part 9 and a second clamping part 10.

[0036] The first clamping part 9 is connected to the drive shaft 8 at one end near the bottom 4 of the water bath chamber, and the other end is the clamping end 91 of the first clamping part, which faces the second clamping part 10. The second clamping part 10 is mounted on the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber in a manner that allows it to rotate coaxially with the first clamping part 9, and is arranged opposite to the first clamping part 9. Preferably, the second clamping part 10 is connected to the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber via a bearing 11.

[0037] In the water bath heating device 1 described in the above embodiments of this application, the first clamping part 9 and the second clamping part 10 are preferably integrally formed of a high-temperature resistant elastic material. When using the water bath heating device 1, after adding a certain amount of high-temperature water to the water bath chamber 3, one end of the bottled / canned beverage is placed into the clamping end 91 of the first clamping part, which clamps and fixes it. When the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber is closed, the other end of the bottled / canned beverage is clamped by the second clamping part 10 corresponding to the first clamping part 9, and the bottled / canned beverage is clamped and fixed by the first clamping part 9 and the second clamping part 10 together. When the water bath heating device 1 is turned on, the drive unit 7 drives the first clamping part 9 to rotate via the transmission shaft 8. The first clamping part 9 drives the bottled / canned beverage and the second clamping part 10 to rotate, so that the bottled / canned beverage rotates at high speed in the high-temperature water in the water bath chamber 3, improving the convective heat transfer efficiency and causing the temperature of the bottled / canned beverage to rise rapidly to the set heating temperature. Meanwhile, because bottled / canned beverages are in a rotating state, the convective heat transfer of the liquid inside the bottle / can increases, improving the uniformity of the liquid temperature distribution inside the beverage bottle.

[0038] Although in the embodiments of this application, the second clamping part 10 is connected to the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber via the bearing 11, this application is not limited to this. Other installation forms that allow the second clamping part 10 to rotate coaxially with the first clamping part 9 should be included within the protection scope of this application.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of this application, a heating module 12 is also provided inside the base 2 (see reference). Figure 3 The heating module 12 provides heat to the water bath 3. A temperature sensor (not shown) is installed inside the water bath 3 to detect and record the water temperature in real time. A thermostat (not shown) corresponding to the temperature sensor and heating module 12 compares the temperature detected by the temperature sensor with the set temperature. When the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor is higher than the set temperature, the heating module 12 is turned off and enters a heat preservation state, improving energy efficiency while preventing the water temperature in the water bath 3 from becoming too high and affecting the bottle / canned beverage. When the water temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than the set temperature, the heating module 12 is turned on to provide heat to the water bath 3, raising the water temperature and increasing the temperature difference between the water and the liquid in the beverage bottle, thus improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0040] Specifically, when using the water bath heating device 1 to heat bottled / canned beverages, before placing the bottled / canned beverages in, the water in the water bath chamber 3 is first heated to a set temperature by the heating module 12. When the water in the water bath chamber 3 reaches the set temperature, the thermostat controls the heating module 12 to turn off. At this time, the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber is opened, and one end of the bottled / canned beverage is placed into the opening of the first clamping part 9. After the bottled / canned beverage is clamped and fixed by the first clamping part 9, the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber is closed, so that the other end of the bottled / canned beverage is clamped and fixed by the second clamping part 10 installed on the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber. This fixes the beverage in both the circumferential and vertical directions, avoiding the problem of excessive noise or the inability to rotate synchronously due to the bottled / canned beverage not being securely fixed, during the process of the drive part 7 driving the first clamping part 9 to rotate by the transmission shaft 8.

[0041] Preferably, a control switch 13 and a display panel 14 corresponding to the control switch 13 are also provided on the outer side of the base 2 housing of the water bath heating device 1. The drive unit 7 provided in the base 2 is an adjustable speed motor, and the speed of the adjustable speed motor does not exceed 2000 rpm.

[0042] When using the water bath heating device 1 to heat bottled / canned beverages, the operating mode of the water bath heating device 1 is switched via control switch 13 according to different beverage bottle materials and volumes. For example, when heating beverages in plastic packaging materials such as PET, the water temperature in the water bath chamber 3 is controlled to not exceed 70℃ to prevent deformation of the PET packaging material or the migration of some chemicals in the PET plastic due to excessively high water temperature. When heating canned beverages, the temperature of the water bath chamber 3 is controlled to reach 100℃, increasing the temperature difference between the water in the water bath chamber 3 and the liquid in the canned beverage, improving heat exchange efficiency, and allowing the liquid temperature in the canned beverage to quickly rise to the set temperature. Simultaneously, different rotation speeds and rotation durations are switched according to the beverage volume in the bottled / canned beverage, allowing the water bath heating device 1 to flexibly adapt to different volumes of bottled / canned beverages, avoiding the problems of beverage temperatures not reaching the set temperature or overheating and energy waste that may occur when using only a single heating mode. Meanwhile, the adjustable speed motor speed is set to not exceed 2000 rpm to avoid the problem of excessive rotation speed affecting the beverage bottle or excessive noise during rotation.

[0043] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the water bath chamber 3 in the embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4As shown, the first clamping part 9 and the second clamping part 10 are arranged in a cylindrical shape, and the end of the first clamping part 9 (or the second clamping part 10) facing the second clamping part 10 (or the first clamping part 9) is the first clamping end 91 (or the second clamping end 101), which clamps and fixes bottled / canned beverages. At the same time, the cylindrical surface of the first clamping part 9 (or the second clamping part 10) is also provided with a plurality of first clamping part openings 92 (or second clamping part openings 102), preferably the first clamping part openings 92 (or second clamping part openings 102) are arranged circumferentially around the outer wall of the first clamping part 9 (or the second clamping part 10) in an equidistant manner. The first clamping part opening 92 (or the second clamping part opening 102) extends from one side edge near the first clamping part clamping end 91 (or the second clamping part clamping end 101) toward the central axis of the cylinder to form a plurality of clamping claws 15. The clamping claws 15 are set at a predetermined angle to the outer surface of the first clamping part 9 (or the second clamping part 10) and the bottled / canned beverages are clamped and fixed by the clamping claws 15.

[0044] Through the above embodiments, when bottled / canned beverages are placed into the water bath heating device 1, the bottled / canned beverages are held and fixed only by the elastic deformation caused by the gripping claws 15 being stretched open by the bottled / canned beverages. This reduces the contact area between the bottled / canned beverages and the first gripping part 9 (or the second gripping part 10). The high-temperature water in the water bath chamber 3 enters the interior of the cylinder of the first gripping part 9 (or the second gripping part 10) through the opening 92 of the first gripping part (or the opening 102 of the second gripping part), thereby increasing the area of ​​the bottled / canned beverages in direct contact with the high-temperature water in the water bath chamber 3 and improving the heat exchange efficiency by increasing the heat exchange area.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the clamping claw 15 is bent parallel to the central axis of the cylinder to form an abutment portion. When the bottled / canned beverage is placed into the water bath heating device 1, this abutment portion is more compatible with the shape of the bottle / canned beverage bottle, making the clamping and fixing of the bottled / canned beverage by the first clamping part 9 (or the second clamping part 10) more secure, reducing the possibility of the bottled / canned beverage slipping or failing to rotate completely synchronously during high-speed rotation.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of this application, a first fixing part 93 is provided on the inner side of the end where the first clamping part 9 is connected to the drive shaft 8, and a second fixing part 103 is provided on the inner side of the end where the second clamping part 10 is connected to the top cover 6 of the water bath chamber. The first fixing part 93 and / or the second fixing part 103 are compressible structures. Preferably, the compressible structure can be a soft pad.

[0047] Bottled / canned beverages are fixed by the first fixing part 93 and the second fixing part 103 in the axial direction of the cylinder. At the same time, a soft pad is used as the first fixing part 93 and / or the second fixing part 103. The soft pad is used to fix and clamp the bottled / canned beverages in the axial direction of the cylinder, which improves the overall stability of the equipment when the bottled / canned beverages of different heights are driven by the first clamping part 9 to rotate at high speed with the second clamping part 10.

[0048] Preferably, the compressible structure can also be configured as an inflatable airbag.

[0049] Specifically, the compressible structure is internally inflatable. When bottled / canned beverages are clamped and secured by the first clamping part 9 and the second clamping part 10, the inflatable airbag structure can be modified according to the specific packaging style of different bottled / canned beverages, thereby making the first fixing part 93 and the second fixing part 103 fit more tightly with the bottled / canned beverage. When the bottled / canned beverage is longer in the axial direction of the cylinder, the gas inside the inflatable airbag is compressed to the edge, increasing the thickness of the edge part of the inflatable airbag and decreasing the thickness of the middle part. In this way, the inflatable airbag can adapt to beverages of different heights, and when the bottled / canned beverage is longer in the axial direction of the cylinder, the increased thickness of the edge part of the inflatable airbag increases the contact area between the inflatable airbag and the bottled / canned beverage in the circumferential position, making the fixation of the bottled / canned beverage more secure.

[0050] Preferably, the compressible structure can also be configured as a spring assembly.

[0051] Specifically, when bottled / canned beverages are clamped and fixed by the first clamping part 9 and the second clamping part 10, the spring assembly is in a compressed state. The compression of the spring assembly fixes the bottled / canned beverages in the axial direction of the cylinder. When the water bath chamber top cover 6 is opened after heating is completed, the pressure applied to the spring assembly decreases, and the spring assembly changes from a compressed state to a free state, thereby pushing the bottled / canned beverages out, making it easier to remove the bottled / canned beverages after heating is completed.

[0052] It should be noted that this application does not limit the specific materials used in the compressible structure constituting the first fixing part 93 and / or the second fixing part 103. Any material that is compressible in the axial direction of the cylinder and adaptable to bottled / canned beverages of different heights, such as soft pads, inflatable airbags, and spring assemblies, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
