Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cold drink equipment technology, specifically to a horizontal cold drink machine. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, when people need slushies, they often crush ice cubes to make them. This process requires first turning liquid into ice cubes, then crushing the ice cubes with an ice crusher. When people want cold drinks, they usually add ice cubes to room-temperature beverages. These methods of making cold drinks and slushies are relatively complex and inefficient.

[0003] Existing technologies provide beverage coolers, which are equipped with refrigeration mechanisms to cool the beverage inside the mixing tank to make cold drinks. However, most of these mixing tanks do not have insulation. The beverage temperature inside the mixing tank is low, and the outer wall of the mixing tank exchanges heat with the external environment, which easily leads to the formation of a large amount of condensation on the outer wall of the mixing tank. Therefore, in order to prevent condensation from overflowing, existing technologies mostly house the mixing tank inside the mounting base, not exposing it to the outside. This reduces condensation generation and allows for additional drainage of condensation within the mounting base, facilitating the removal of large amounts of condensation. As a result, the overall structure of the beverage cooler is more complex, and the mixing tank is mostly fixedly connected to the mounting base, making it difficult to disassemble and clean.

[0004] Therefore, there is room for improvement in existing cold drink machines. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, and in response to the technical problems of the existing cold drink machines that easily generate a large amount of condensate and have a difficult-to-disassemble and clean mixing tank, this application provides a horizontal cold drink machine with a heat insulation layer on the mixing tank to reduce the probability of condensate generation, and the mixing tank is detachably connected to the mounting base for easy disassembly and cleaning.

[0010] The mixing tank includes an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, with a heat insulation layer formed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the horizontal beverage cooler of this application features a double-layered mixing tank, comprising an inner and outer cylinder arranged coaxially, with a space between them forming an insulation layer. This insulation layer effectively maintains heat and reduces heat loss. At the insulation layer, heat inside the mixing tank is not transferred to the outside, and external heat does not exchange with the inside of the mixing tank, thus preventing condensation from forming on the outside. Therefore, the entire beverage cooler does not require a large and complex condensate drainage structure, resulting in a simpler structure. Furthermore, the mixing tank is detachably connected to the mounting base, allowing users to easily remove it for cleaning. The refrigeration mechanism cools the liquid inside the mixing tank to create smoothies, ice cream, cold drinks, etc. The horizontal design of the beverage cooler also makes it convenient for users to dispense beverages and add ingredients.

[0061] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the following detailed, clear, and complete description of this disclosure is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it.

[0062] In the description of this application, the use of "first" and "second" is for the purpose of distinguishing technical features only, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or the order of the technical features indicated.

[0063] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this application, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0064] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, see below. Figures 1 to 5 illustrate.

[0065] This application provides a horizontal cold drink machine 1 (hereinafter referred to as cold drink machine 1), which is used to make room temperature liquid into slush or cold drinks.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a mounting base 11, a refrigeration mechanism, and a stirring tank 12. The refrigeration mechanism is disposed inside the mounting base 11, and the stirring tank 12 is disposed outside the mounting base 11. The stirring tank 12 is used to store liquid, and the refrigeration mechanism is used to refrigerate the liquid in the stirring tank 12 to keep it at a low temperature. At the same time, the stirring tank 12 is provided with a stirring mechanism 13, which can stir the liquid in the stirring tank 12. On the one hand, it can make the heat exchange of the liquid in the stirring tank 12 uniform, and on the other hand, it can break up the ice in the stirring tank 12 to prevent the liquid from freezing into ice clumps and forming drinks such as slushies or ice cream.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this application, the length of the mixing tank 12 extends parallel to the horizontal direction, that is, the mixing tank 12 is placed horizontally, and the discharge end and the inlet end of the mixing tank 12 are basically on the same plane to form a horizontal cold drink machine 1; wherein, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 11 includes a support base 112 and a mounting housing 111. The rear end of the mounting housing 111 is provided with a connecting part protruding in the vertical direction, and the front end forms a mounting part for mounting the support base 112, so that the mounting housing 111 is approximately L-shaped. The refrigeration mechanism is installed inside the mounting housing 111. The support base 112 is approximately 7-shaped. The support base 112 is located at the front end of the mounting housing 111 and at the bottom of the mixing tank 12 for mounting and supporting the mixing tank 12.

[0068] The front end of the connecting part is provided with a mounting cylinder for installing the mixing tank 12. The mounting cylinder has an internal thread, and the outside of the feeding end of the mixing tank 12 has an external thread. The mixing tank 12 is threadedly connected to the mounting cylinder for easy disassembly and assembly, so that the user can easily remove the mixing tank 12 from the mounting housing 111 for cleaning.

[0069] In this application, as Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the mixing tank 12 is configured with a double-layer structure, comprising an inner cylinder 121 and an outer cylinder 122. The inner cylinder 121 and the outer cylinder 122 are coaxially arranged, and the outer cylinder 122 is fitted around the outer side of the inner cylinder 121. The outer diameter of the inner cylinder 121 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 122, creating a gap between the inner cylinder 121 and the outer cylinder 122, which forms a heat insulation layer. This heat insulation layer effectively maintains heat and reduces heat loss. At the heat insulation layer, the probability of heat transfer from the inside of the mixing tank 12 to the external environment is reduced, minimizing heat loss during heat exchange between the external environment and the inside of the mixing tank 12. By reducing the amount of condensation generated on the outside of the mixing tank 12 and minimizing the overall condensation generation in the mixing tank 12, the entire beverage cooler 1 does not require an additional large and complex condensation drainage structure, resulting in a simple structure. Since the mixing tank 12 does not generate excessive condensation on its outside, it is aesthetically pleasing, allowing the mixing tank 12 to be exposed to the outside of the mounting base 11, making it convenient for users to directly observe the beverage inside the mixing tank 12. Furthermore, the detachable connection structure between the mixing tank 12 and the mounting housing 111 makes the mixing tank 12 easy to replace and clean, further simplifying the overall structure of the beverage cooler 1.

[0070] In this application, the mixing tank 12 is made of high borosilicate glass, which gives it resistance to both low and high temperatures. It can withstand temperatures from -20°C to -40°C and as high as 450°C, meeting the requirements for making both cold and hot beverages. Furthermore, the main components of high borosilicate glass are inorganic substances such as boron and silicon, and it does not contain harmful heavy metals such as lead and mercury. It does not release harmful substances during use, making it relatively safe for both the environment and human health.

[0071] Furthermore, the high borosilicate glass material is transparent, allowing users to clearly and directly observe the liquid conditions inside the mixing tank 12, enabling them to quickly add materials or change the operating mode.

[0072] In another optional embodiment of this application, the mixing tank 12 is made of transparent plastic material, preferably food-grade material; it has good drop and impact resistance, high chemical stability, and can improve the service life of the mixing tank 12.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, the refrigeration mechanism includes a compressor 15, a condenser 16, an expansion valve, and an evaporator 14. The evaporator 14 is disposed inside the mixing tank 12. The compressor 15, condenser 16, and expansion valve are disposed inside the mounting housing 111 and located below the mixing tank 12. The condenser 16 is disposed side by side with the compressor 15, and the condenser 16 is disposed at the rear end of the compressor 15, that is, at the end of the compressor 15 away from the mixing tank 12. In this embodiment, the compressor 15 and the mixing tank 12 are separately disposed, which is easy to maintain and repair. Furthermore, it reduces the impact of vibration generated by the compressor 15 during operation on the mixing tank 12 and the condenser 16, and also reduces the impact of heat generated by the compressor 15 during operation on the mixing tank 12 and the condenser 16. By disposing of the compressor 15 and the condenser 16 below the mixing tank 12, the overall layout of the horizontal beverage cooler 1 is also more compact, reducing the space occupied by the horizontal beverage cooler 1 in the height direction. It is suitable for environments with limited height and allows users to easily take out beverages and add ingredients.

[0074] In this application, the compressor 15, condenser 16, expansion valve, and evaporator 14 form a refrigeration cycle system, and the specific working process is as follows:

[0075] The refrigerant is drawn into the compressor 15 from the evaporator 14 in a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous state, and after compression, it becomes a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous state.

[0076] High-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is discharged from compressor 15 and enters condenser 16;

[0077] The condenser 16 cools and liquefies the refrigerant, while simultaneously releasing heat.

[0078] The liquid refrigerant is throttled and depressurized through the expansion valve, becoming a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant;

[0079] Low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator 14, absorbs heat in the evaporator 14 and evaporates into a gaseous state, thereby lowering the temperature around the evaporator 14 to achieve the effect of cooling the liquid in the mixing tank 12, thus enabling the production of slushies, cold drinks or ice cream.

[0080] This application also includes a controller, which is installed inside the mounting housing 111 and connected to the refrigeration mechanism and the stirring mechanism 13. The controller is used to control the working mode of the horizontal cold drink machine 1, including functions such as power on / off, ice-making temperature, and slush fineness, so as to make room temperature liquids into cold drinks, slush, or ice cream. By setting the controller, automated slush making can be realized, improving the efficiency of beverage making.

[0081] Based on any of the above embodiments, the cold drink machine 1 will be further described; such as Figure 2 , Figure 5As shown, the cold drink machine 1 also includes a heat exchange cylinder disposed inside the stirring tank 12. The stirring tank 12 is sleeved outside the heat exchange cylinder, and the heat exchange cylinder and the stirring tank 12 are coaxially arranged. The length of the heat exchange cylinder is less than the length of the stirring tank 12, and the outer diameter of the heat exchange cylinder is less than the inner diameter of the stirring tank 12. A receiving cavity is formed between the heat exchange cylinder and the stirring tank 12. The liquid to be made into a beverage is located in the receiving cavity. The stirring mechanism 13 can stir the liquid in the receiving cavity, which can make the liquid heat exchange uniform on the one hand, and prevent the liquid in the receiving cavity from freezing into ice clumps to form slush or shaved ice on the other hand. The evaporator 14 is disposed inside the heat exchange cylinder to reduce heat loss, and the receiving cavity is arranged around the outside of the heat exchange cylinder so that the liquid in the receiving cavity can be fully cooled by the evaporator 14 to improve the heat exchange efficiency, thereby improving the working efficiency of the cold drink machine 1.

[0082] Based on any of the above embodiments, the stirring mechanism 13 is further described; the stirring mechanism 13 includes stirring blades 131, transmission screws 132 and drive motors 133. The stirring blades 131 are located in the annular cavity formed between the outer wall of the heat exchange cylinder and the inner wall of the liquid storage cylinder, and the stirring blades 131 are spiral-shaped and sleeved on the outside of the heat exchange cylinder, but there is a gap between them and the heat exchange cylinder.

[0083] The drive motor 133 is located inside the connecting part of the mounting housing 111 and externally outside the mixing tank 12; the transmission screw 132 is axially arranged inside the heat exchange cylinder, with both ends of the transmission screw 132 extending out of the heat exchange cylinder and connected to the drive motor 133 and the stirring blade 131 respectively; the rear end of the transmission screw 132 is connected to the drive motor 133, and the front end is connected to the stirring blade 131; the drive motor 133 operates to drive the transmission screw 132 to rotate, and the screw drives the stirring blade 131 to rotate, thereby stirring the ice-liquid mixture in the containment cavity.

[0084] The transmission screw 132 and the stirring blade 131 are detachably connected, allowing users to easily separate the transmission screw 132 from the stirring blade 131, thereby removing and cleaning the stirring blade 131, which improves the convenience of daily cleaning and maintenance.

[0085] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the evaporator 14 includes an evaporator tube, which is vertically wound inside the heat exchange cylinder. The evaporator tube is arranged in a spiral shape and is sleeved outside the drive screw 132.

[0086] Furthermore, the support 112 is described in more detail; such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the top of the support base 112 is provided with an arc-shaped mounting groove 1124. The arc of the arc-shaped mounting groove 1124 is adapted to the arc of the mixing tank 12. The mixing tank 12 is at least partially located in the mounting groove 1124, wherein the front end of the mixing tank 12 extends beyond the front end of the mounting groove 1124.

[0087] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the support base 112 is provided with a drain trough 1122 and a support base 1121. The drain trough 1122 is connected to the rear end of the support base 1121. The drain trough 1122 is located at the upper end of the mounting part of the mounting housing 111. The drain trough 1122 is used to collect a small amount of condensate generated at the connection between the feed end of the mixing tank 12 and the mounting housing 111. The drain trough 1122 is formed by two arc-shaped connecting plates. The arc of the two arc-shaped connecting plates is approximately the same, and the two arc-shaped connecting plates are arranged parallel to each other in the vertical direction to form the drain trough 1122.

[0088] The two connecting plates are an upper connecting plate and a lower connecting plate. The arc-shaped groove at the upper end of the upper connecting plate forms an installation groove 1124. The upper connecting plate is provided with a liquid inlet 1123. The liquid inlet 1123 is located near the feeding end of the mixing tank 12 so that the small amount of condensate generated at the feeding end of the mixing tank 12 can flow into the drain tank 1122, thereby avoiding the condensate dripping into the refrigeration mechanism and causing interference.

[0089] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the support base 1121 is located on the side of the mounting housing 111 near the discharge end of the mixing tank 12. The length extension direction of the support base 1121 is parallel to the vertical direction. The bottom of the support base 1121 is flush with the bottom of the mounting housing 111. There is a gap between the front end of the support base 1121 and the discharge port of the mixing tank 12. The support base 1121 can support the mixing tank 12 in the vertical direction to ensure the stability of the mixing tank 12.

[0090] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the mounting housing 111 is equipped with a support frame 113, which includes two parallel n-shaped frame bodies. The mounting housing 111 includes a mounting base plate and mounting side plates. The mounting base plate is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the mounting side plates are vertically connected to the periphery of the mounting base plate. The compressor 15 and the condenser 16 are fixedly connected to the mounting base plate. The bottom of the support frame 113 is connected to the upper end of the mounting base plate of the mounting housing 111, and the upper end of the support frame 113 is connected to the bottom of the lower connecting plate of the support base 112, thereby supporting the support base 112 and preventing the compressor 15 from directly contacting the mixing tank 12, thus reducing the impact of the vibration generated by the compressor 15 during operation on the mixing tank 12.

[0091] like Figure 2As shown, a heat dissipation hole 1111 is provided on the mounting side plate of the mounting housing 111 at the end away from the mixing tank 12. The heat dissipation hole 1111 is located around the condenser 16 and has openings on both the inner and outer sides of the mounting side plate, so that the heat dissipated by the condenser 16 can be discharged to the outside of the mounting housing 111 through the heat dissipation hole 1111, thus preventing high temperatures inside the mounting housing 111. The shape and number of the heat dissipation hole 1111 can be selected according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0092] Furthermore, the feeding process of the mixing tank 12 is described in more detail; such as... Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the mounting housing 111 has a feeding channel 1112 on its connecting part. The feeding channel 1112 has an opening at the upper end of the mounting housing 111. The mixing tank 12 has a feeding port. The feeding port and the feeding channel 1112 are connected by a material pipe 18. The feeding channel 1112 is provided with a material cover 1113. The user can open the material cover 1113 to pour the liquid to be processed into the feeding channel 1112, so that the liquid can enter the mixing tank 12 along the feeding channel 1112 and the material pipe 18. The material cover 1113 can effectively block the opening of the feeding channel 1112 to prevent external impurities from entering the feeding channel 1112 and improve hygiene.

[0093] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the discharge port of the mixing tank 12 is located at the lower end of the front end of the mixing tank 12. The discharge port of the mixing tank 12 is equipped with a discharge valve 17, which can control whether the mixing tank 12 discharges or not, making it convenient for users to collect beverages.

[0094] Based on any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the cold drink machine 1 also includes a coaster 114, which is connected to the front end of the support base 112. The coaster 114 is located at the bottom of the mixing bowl 12, and the bottom of the coaster 114 is flush with the bottom of the support base 112. There is a space between the coaster 114 and the mixing bowl 12 for placing a water cup. The water cup is placed on the coaster 114 with the opening of the water cup facing the dispensing port. The beverage from the mixing bowl 12 can flow from the dispensing port into the water cup, making it convenient to collect the smoothie.

[0095] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the coaster 114 has drainage holes 1141. The drainage holes 1141 open in the direction of the coaster 114 towards the mixing bowl 12, but do not penetrate the coaster 114. There are multiple drainage holes 1141, which are spaced apart to facilitate the collection of liquid splashed during the dispensing of the slush, preventing direct splashing onto the table. The coaster 114 is detachably connected to the support base 112, allowing the coaster 114 to be removed from the support base 112 at any time for easy cleaning by the user.

[0096] In this application, at least one mixing tank 12 is provided; such as Figure 3 As shown, the mixing tank 12 is set as one.

[0097] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, two mixing bowls 12 are arranged side by side with intervals between them. By setting multiple mixing bowls 12, beverages with different flavors and tastes can be made. Correspondingly, the number of mounting slots 1124 on the support base 112 corresponds to the number of mixing bowls 12.

[0098] It should be noted that the various embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined into new embodiments, provided that the solutions do not conflict and the technical solutions can coexist.
