The refrigeration system includes an evaporator and a cooling box filled with a cooling medium. The mixing tank, evaporator, and first coil are respectively disposed in the cooling box and in contact with the cooling medium.

[0043] In this utility model, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are used only to distinguish similar objects, not to describe a specific order or sequence, nor should they be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The use of terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer" to indicate orientation or positional relationships is based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model, not to indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation; therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0044] In addition, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0045] Please see Figures 1-10As shown, this utility model discloses a sparkling water machine, including a three-way inlet valve 4. The inlet of the three-way valve 4 is connected to a drinking water source, one outlet of the three-way valve 4 is connected to the inlet of a first water path 41, and the other outlet of the three-way valve 4 is connected to the inlet of a second water path 42. It also includes a refrigeration system and a mixing tank 1. The refrigeration system includes an evaporator pipe 31 and a cooling box 3 filled with a cooling medium. The mixing tank 1, the evaporator pipe 31, and the first coil 411 on the inlet water path are respectively disposed within the cooling box 3 and in contact with the cooling medium, which is water, but not limited to water. The mixing tank 1 is located outside the evaporator pipe 31, and the first coil 411 is located on the side of the mixing tank 1 where the evaporator pipe 31 is located and below the evaporator pipe 31. The drinking water from the first water path 41 is cooled by the first coil 411 and then injected into the mixing tank 1 through the inlet 11a. When the pressure inside the mixing tank 1 is constant, the solubility of the gas increases as the temperature decreases. In this embodiment, the cooling tank 3 filled with cooling medium is used for cold storage, so that the first coil 411 continuously and efficiently delivers cold water to the mixing tank 1, thereby effectively utilizing the limited space of the household sparkling water machine, ensuring the cooling effect and increasing the solubility of the gas, improving the taste of sparkling water, solving the problem of poor cooling effect of the household sparkling water machine when used by multiple people or in large quantities, and improving the ability to continuously produce sparkling water.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the second water path 42 is equipped with a second coil 421, which is located inside the cooling tank 3 and in contact with the cooling medium to cool the drinking water in the second water path 42, thus providing users with ice water directly. The first cold water tray and the second cold water tray are spirally wound to form a central cavity, and the first cold water tray and the second cold water tray are staggered in the first direction. The first water path 41 is also equipped with a third coil 412, which is located in the central cavity and connected to the outlet 13 of the mixing tank 1 to cool sparkling water. This eliminates the need for other physical cooling methods, such as adding ice cubes to a water cup, to directly provide users with refreshing sparkling water, making it more convenient.
[0047] Therefore, this sparkling water machine has the dual function of providing both sparkling water and ice water, which can directly provide users with refreshing sparkling water and ice water, thus meeting the diverse needs of users.
[0048] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an ice probe 5 is mounted on the outside of the evaporator tube 31 via a fixed bracket. The ice probe 5 is connected to the control circuit board 9 via a wire to shut down the refrigeration system when the ice thickness reaches the required level. Specifically, when the three needles of the ice probe 5 receive signals from each other, they send a signal to the control circuit board 9. The control circuit board 9 then commands the compressor to power on and start working, cooling the water in the cooling tank 3. When the water temperature drops to 0℃~0.8℃, the water gradually freezes from the evaporator tube 31 outwards, and the ice layer thickness gradually increases. When the ice layer covers the needle of the ice probe 5 closest to the evaporator tube 31, the other two needles remain in the conductive state, and the evaporator tube 31 cools at low power. When the ice layer covers the two needles of the ice probe 5 closest to the evaporator tube 31, any two needles are de-energized, and the control circuit board 9 commands the compressor to stop working, and the evaporator tube 31 stops cooling. When the temperature inside the cooling tank 3 rises, the ice melts to the point where the two needles of the ice probe 5 are exposed, sending a sensing signal to the control circuit board 9. The control circuit board 9 then issues a command to start the compressor, and the compressor stops working when the two needles of the ice probe 5 are covered by the ice layer.
[0049] Please see Figure 3 As shown, the cooling box 3 is also equipped with a stirring end 32 of a stirring motor, which is used to stir the water in the cooling box 3 to accelerate freezing. Specifically, the stirring end 32 of the stirring motor stirs the cooling box 3 for a long time to make the temperature in the cooling box 3 more uniform. The cooling box 3 is also wrapped with a layer of cold insulation material, which can be a foam board (not shown in the figure).
[0050] Please see Figure 3 As shown, a first check valve 21 and a second check valve 22 are provided on the connecting pipeline between the outlet end of the booster pump 2 and the inlet 11a of the mixing tank 1. The opening directions of the first check valve 21 and the second check valve 22 are opposite to control the flow direction and pressure of the boosted water, so that the water flow and pressure are transmitted only from the outlet end of the booster pump 2 to the inlet 11a of the mixing tank 1. The air inlet 12a is connected to an air inlet pipeline, which is equipped with a pressure relief valve 7 and an air inlet check valve 71. When the pressure in the mixing tank 1 reaches a certain value, the pressure relief valve 7 automatically releases pressure and triggers a micro switch to control the closure of the gas cylinder.
[0051] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the water inlet 11a and air inlet 12a of the mixing tank 1 are located at the upper end of the mixing tank 1, and the water outlet 13 is located at the lower end of the mixing tank 1. The mixing tank 1 is connected to the first coil 411 via a booster pump 2. The booster pump 2 can pressurize the drinking water cooled by the first coil 411 and inject it into the mixing tank 1 through the water inlet 11a to mix with the gas introduced into the mixing tank 1 through the air inlet 12a to form bubble water. The air inlet 12a is connected to a high-pressure carbon dioxide cylinder or other gas cylinders through an air inlet pipe, but is not limited to this. Specifically, the aperture of the water inlet 11a is 1.8cm to 2.2cm. After being pressurized by the booster pump 2, the water pressure can reach 1.0MPa to 1.4MPa. The high-pressure water is sprayed and atomized through the small-aperture water inlet 11a to form small-molecule water. The surface area of the water increases, which increases the contact area between gas molecules and water molecules, thereby promoting water-gas mixing. Figure 3 As shown, the mixing tank 1 is a sealed structure, comprising multiple cavities and multiple connecting ribs. The cavities are distributed along a first direction and interconnected. Connecting ribs are provided between adjacent cavities, extending along a second direction to increase the compressive strength of the mixing tank 1. Specifically, the mixing tank 1 is a vertical structure. The dimension of the mixing tank 1 in the third direction is less than half of the dimension in the first direction, making it flat. The mixing tank 1 has two symmetrically arranged left and right plates, which are corrugated plates with protrusions and concave portions. A cavity is formed between the protrusions of one corrugated plate and the protrusions of the other corrugated plate. A connecting rib is formed by welding the concave portions of one corrugated plate and the concave portions of the other corrugated plate, but this is not limited to welding fixation. The welding method can be through-hole plug welding. The advantage of through-hole plug welding is that it can provide very strong connection strength in a local area without requiring full welding of the entire concave portion. This not only saves time and materials but also avoids problems such as deformation or excessive heat-affected zone caused by full welding. Meanwhile, one of the left and right plates of the mixing tank 1 is located on the side opposite to the evaporator tube 31 to increase the cooling area on the side closer to the evaporator tube 31 and accelerate the reduction of the temperature of water-air mixture in the mixing tank 1.
[0052] In addition, the mixing tank 1 is connected to a high / low water level probe 6. This probe 6 and the booster pump 2 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 9, respectively. The high / low water level probe 6 is used to detect the liquid level in the mixing tank 1, so that the control circuit board 9 controls whether the booster pump 2 is started based on the detection results. In this embodiment, if the high / low water level probe 6 detects that the water level in the mixing tank 1 is lower than the set minimum water level, the control circuit board 9 executes the start-up procedure for the booster pump 2 to replenish water; if the high / low water level probe 6 detects that the water level in the mixing tank 1 is exactly at the set maximum water level, the control circuit board 9 executes the power-off procedure, causing the booster pump 2 to shut down and stop replenishing water. Specifically, a portion of the high / low water level probe 6 is inserted into the cavity of the mixing tank 1 from top to bottom along a first direction, while the other portion is located outside the mixing tank 1 and connected to the control circuit board 9. Furthermore, when the drinking water in mixing tank 1 reaches the high water level probe, mixing tank 1 is 80% water and 20% carbon dioxide gas. If the user selects the sparkling water function at this time, the outlet 13 of mixing tank 1 automatically opens via the one-way valve 14 connected by the pipe, and the incoming air pressure forces the sparkling water out of mixing tank 1. When the low water level probe in mixing tank 1 senses no water, it sends a signal to the control circuit board 9. The control circuit board 9 then commands the booster pump 2 to start working, and the cooling pipe cools the drinking water by 0.8℃~12℃. The mixture is mixed in mixing tank 1 to form sparkling water. In addition, when the carbon dioxide gas in mixing tank 1 reaches 60%, the air inlet check valve 71 closes, and pressurized water enters mixing tank 1. The gas is mixed into the water to achieve nano-sized sparkling water. The carbon dioxide content (volume multiple at 20°C) in the sparkling water is not less than 3.5 to 4.0 times. The nano-sized sparkling water has a delicate and smooth taste. When the pressurized water reaches the high water level probe, the pressure in mixing tank 1 reaches its peak, and a signal is sent to control circuit board 9 to control circuit board 9, commanding the booster pump 2 to stop working.
[0053] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, this utility model also includes a water outlet 11b. One inlet of the water outlet 11b is connected to the outlet end of the first water passage 41 via a first solenoid valve 10, and the other inlet of the water outlet 11b is connected to the outlet end of the second water passage 42 via a second solenoid valve 12b. Specifically, the water outlet 11b can discharge water vertically. The first solenoid valve 10 and the second solenoid valve 12b connected to it are both high-pressure flow regulators to ensure safe water intake and prevent splashing. The first solenoid valve 10 and the second solenoid valve 12b respectively control the flow of water at the outlet ends of the first water passage 41 and the second water passage 42.
[0054] Please see Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the water outlet 11b contains multiple water distribution plates with multiple water outlet holes. Specifically, there are two water distribution plates in the water outlet 11b: a first water distribution plate 111 and a second water distribution plate 113. The water distribution plates are arranged vertically, and multiple water outlet holes are distributed on the water distribution plates in a racetrack pattern to disperse and buffer the water flow, making the water flow velocity more uniform. The water flow direction is from top to bottom. The first water distribution plate 111 is located above the second water distribution plate 113. The first water distribution plate 111 has a drainage groove, and multiple water outlet holes are arranged around the bottom surface of the drainage groove. This ensures that there is no residue after the water flow passes through the first water distribution plate 111 for the first water distribution. A water baffle plate 112 is provided between the first water distribution plate 111 and the second water distribution plate 113. The water baffle plate 112 is used to disperse and buffer the water flow, so that the water flow after the second water distribution through the second water distribution plate 113 is more stable and uniform.
[0055] Working Principle: When in use, if the cooling tank 3 is ice-free, the ice storage mode of the sparkling water machine needs to be activated first. The evaporator tube 31 operates at high power for cooling, and the stirring end 32 of the mixer agitates the cooling medium, resulting in more uniform heat exchange and faster cooling. The cooling medium gradually freezes from the evaporator tube 31 outwards, with the ice layer gradually increasing in thickness. When the ice layer covers the needle closest to the ice layer probe 5 on the evaporator tube 31, the other two needles remain in a conductive state, and the evaporator tube 31 operates at low power for cooling. When the ice layer covers the two needles closest to the ice layer probe 5 on the evaporator tube 31, both needles are de-energized, and the evaporator tube 31 stops cooling, exiting the ice storage mode. At this time, the sparkling water machine's water dispensing mode is activated. The control circuit board 9 starts the booster pump 2 based on the detection results of the high and low water level probes 6. This booster pump 2 draws drinking water from the source through the first coil 411 into the mixing tank 1. When the water level in the mixing tank 1 reaches the required level, the booster pump 2 stops pumping water. When the gas cylinder is opened, gas enters the mixing tank 1 and mixes with the water inside to form sparkling water. If the user selects sparkling water, they press the sparkling water button 81 on the outer casing 8. The first solenoid valve 10 is opened, and the outlet check valve 14 automatically opens. The incoming air pressure forces the sparkling water out of the outlet 13 of the mixing tank 1. After being cooled by the second coil 421, the chilled sparkling water is delivered to the user's water cup. If the user selects ice water, they press the ice water button 82 on the outer casing 8. The second solenoid valve 12b is opened, and the drinking water is cooled by the second coil 421, delivering ice water to the user's water cup.
[0056] In this invention, the mixing tank 1 is located inside the cooling box 3 and outside the evaporator tube 31 to maintain a low temperature. The first coil 411 is located on the side of the mixing tank 1 where the evaporator tube 31 is located and below the evaporator tube 31. Drinking water from the first water channel 41 is cooled by the first coil 411 and then injected into the mixing tank 1 through the inlet 11a, thus effectively utilizing the limited space of the household sparkling water machine and ensuring the cooling effect. The booster pump 2 pressurizes the cooled drinking water from the first coil 411 and injects it into the mixing tank 1 through the inlet 11a to mix with the gas introduced into the mixing tank 1 from the air inlet 12a, forming sparkling water. The cooling box 3 is used for cold storage, allowing the first coil 411 to continuously and efficiently deliver cold water to the mixing tank 1. This improves the refilling capacity of the household sparkling water machine and, combined with the high pressure provided by the booster pump 2, fully utilizes the low-temperature, high-pressure environment to significantly improve gas solubility, thus enhancing the bubbly taste of the sparkling water. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the mixing tank 1 is a sealed structure, which includes multiple cavities and multiple connecting ribs. The multiple cavities are distributed along the first direction and are interconnected. Connecting ribs are provided between two adjacent cavities. The connecting ribs extend along the second direction to increase the compressive strength of the mixing tank 1.
