Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of snow melting machine housing structure, and in particular relates to a housing structure for a snow melting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A slush machine, also known as an ice cream maker, is a kitchen appliance specifically designed for making refreshing beverages, primarily used in beverage shops and restaurants. Its main function is to mix fruit juice, sugar, and other ingredients in a specific ratio, then create a cool, slushy drink through refrigeration and stirring. These machines typically have multiple functions, such as slush making and cold beverage production, and are easy to operate, cool quickly, and consume little electricity, making them ideal for producing cold drinks such as fruit juice, soy milk, and coconut milk.

[0003] The common snow melting machine housing structure on the market includes a shell assembly, a front frame, a bracket, a base, a rear frame, and a rear panel. The shell assembly includes a left side panel and a right side panel. The bracket and base serve as the upper and lower fixed support modules of the housing structure, providing fixed connection points for various components. Specifically: the upper part of the sheet metal front frame is fixed to the bracket, and the lower part is fixed to the base; the upper part of the plastic rear frame is fixed to the bracket, and the lower part is fixed to the base. The front frame, rear frame, base, and bracket form an integrated frame. The left side panel and rear side panel are installed on the left and right sides of this integrated frame, respectively. The panel assembly and rear panel are installed on the front and rear sides of this integrated frame, respectively. The slush cylinder and motor are installed on top of this integrated frame, i.e., the bracket.

[0004] If the snow melting machine is used or placed normally, the aforementioned box structure can remain stable; however, when the snow melting machine is transported over long distances, due to unavoidable bumps, the plastic rear frame is prone to breakage due to insufficient strength, affecting the delivery and use of the snow melting machine; replacing the rear frame with sheet metal parts can effectively solve this problem, but this will increase the production cost of the snow melting machine, which in turn leads to a higher selling price and is detrimental to the product's market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a box structure for a snow melting machine, which solves the problem that the plastic rear frame of the snow melting machine box is prone to breakage during transportation due to insufficient strength; and that replacing the plastic rear frame with a sheet metal rear frame would result in higher production costs.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a housing structure for a snow melting machine, comprising: a bracket, used as an upper fixing module; a base, used as a lower fixing module; a front upright, the upper part of which is fixed to the bracket and the lower part of which is fixed to the base; a rear upright, the upper part of which is fixed to the bracket and the lower part of which is fixed to the base; and a condenser of the snow melting machine is fixedly installed on the rear upright; the upper part of the condenser is fixed to the bracket and the lower part of which is fixed to the base.

[0007] Optionally, the condenser is fixedly installed on the front side of the rear support, and the condenser fan corresponding to the condenser is fixedly installed on the rear side of the rear support. The rear support has a fan hole, and the positions of the condenser, the condenser fan, and the fan hole are corresponding.

[0008] Optionally, a left side plate is installed on the left side of the housing structure of the snow melting machine, a right side plate is installed on the right side of the housing structure of the snow melting machine, and a rear plate is installed on the rear side of the housing structure of the snow melting machine; the air inlet of the heat dissipation system of the snow melting machine is opened on the left side plate and the right side plate, and the air outlet of the heat dissipation system is opened on the rear plate.

[0009] Optionally, the heat dissipation system is used to reduce the temperature rise of the refrigeration system of the snow melting machine during the refrigeration process, and includes: a condenser fan, a motor fan, a compressor fan, and a temperature detector. The compressor fan and the temperature detector are both installed next to the compressor of the refrigeration system. When the temperature detector detects a temperature greater than a first set value, the compressor fan starts to work; when the temperature detector detects a temperature less than a second set value, the compressor fan stops working; the first set value is greater than the second set value.

[0010] Optionally, the compressor, condenser, exhaust pipe, dryer filter, capillary tube, evaporator, and return pipe are included. The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas, increasing its temperature and pressure, and sends it through the exhaust pipe into the condenser for heat dissipation. The refrigerant gas releases heat and liquefies into liquid refrigerant in the condenser. Moisture and impurities in the liquid refrigerant in the condenser are absorbed by the dryer filter and then flow into the capillary tube. Under the action of the capillary tube, the liquid refrigerant becomes wet vapor and absorbs heat to vaporize in the evaporator. The vaporized refrigerant gas returns to the compressor through the return pipe.

[0011] Optionally, the air outlet includes a motor fan outlet, a circuit board box outlet, and a condenser fan outlet; the condenser fan is located between the condenser and the condenser fan outlet; the motor fan is located between the motor and the motor fan outlet; and a circuit board box fan is provided between the circuit board box and the circuit board box outlet.

[0012] Optionally, the air inlet may also be located on the front support frame.

[0013] Optionally, the first setting is 55°C and the second setting is 50°C.

[0014] Optionally, the temperature sensor is mounted above the compressor, and the compressor fan is mounted in front of the compressor.

[0015] As described above, the housing structure of the snow melting machine of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The housing structure of this snow melting machine is fixedly mounted on the rear frame via a condenser. The upper part of the condenser is fixed to the bracket, and the lower part is fixed to the base. This design is more robust than the existing technology that relies solely on a plastic rear frame fixed to the bracket and base. Because existing condensers are made of sheet metal, this design, by fixing the sheet metal condenser and the plastic rear frame together, ensures that the upper part of the sheet metal condenser and the upper part of the plastic rear frame are both fixed to the bracket, and the lower part of the sheet metal condenser and the lower part of the plastic rear frame are both fixed to the base. Essentially, the sheet metal condenser and the plastic rear frame together form a single rear frame assembly, achieving the effect of a sheet metal rear frame without changing the original rear frame material. This ultimately solves the problem that the existing plastic rear frame of the snow melting machine housing is prone to breakage during transportation due to insufficient strength, and that replacing the plastic rear frame with a sheet metal rear frame would result in higher production costs.

[0023] Bracket 1, base 2, front stand 3, rear stand 4, condenser 5, condenser fan 6, air inlet 7, motor fan outlet 81, circuit board box outlet 82, condenser fan outlet 83, compressor fan 9, temperature sensor 10, compressor 11, rear panel 12. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 5 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this invention. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0026] The following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only. These embodiments can be combined and are not limited to the content shown in any single embodiment below.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a housing structure for a snow melting machine, which, like existing technologies, also includes:

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bracket 1 shown is used as a fixing module on the top of the entire box structure.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 The base 2 shown serves as a fixing module at the bottom of the entire box structure.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The front support 3 shown is generally made of sheet metal to ensure strength. Its upper part is fixed to the bracket 1 and its lower part is fixed to the base 2.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4To save costs, the rear support frame 4 shown is typically made of plastic, whereas the front support frame 3 is made of sheet metal. In the case of normal use or placement of the snow melting machine, the existing box structure can remain stable. However, during long-distance transportation, the snow melting machine inevitably experiences bumps, and the plastic rear support frame 4, due to insufficient strength, is prone to breakage, affecting the delivery and use of the snow melting machine. Replacing the rear support frame 4 with sheet metal can effectively solve this problem, but this would increase the production cost of the snow melting machine, leading to a higher selling price and negatively impacting the product's market competitiveness.

[0032] To solve this technical problem, the housing structure of this snow melting machine fixes the condenser 5 to the rear support frame 4. The upper part of the condenser 5 is fixed to the bracket 1, and the lower part of the condenser 5 is fixed to the base 2. Because the condensers 5 in the prior art are all made of sheet metal, after fixing the sheet metal condenser 5 and the plastic rear support frame 4 together, the upper part of the sheet metal condenser 5 and the upper part of the plastic rear support frame 4 are together fixed to the bracket 1. The lower part of the sheet metal condenser 5 and the lower part of the plastic rear support 4 are fixed to the base 2 together. This means that the sheet metal condenser 5 and the plastic rear support 4 together form a rear support 4 assembly. The effect of a sheet metal rear support 4 is achieved without changing the original material of the rear support 4. This solves the problem that the plastic rear support 4 of the snow melting machine chassis is prone to breakage during transportation due to insufficient strength, and that replacing the plastic rear support 4 with a sheet metal rear support 4 would result in higher production costs.

[0033] In another implementation, please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The condenser 5 is fixedly installed on the front side of the rear support 4, and the condenser fan 6 corresponding to the condenser 5 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the rear support 4. The rear support 4 has a fan hole, and the positions of the condenser 5, the condenser fan 6 and the fan hole are corresponding; thereby ensuring that the condenser fan 6 can play the role of reducing the heat of the condenser 5.

[0034] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The box structure has a left side panel installed on the left side, a right side panel installed on the right side, and a rear panel 12 installed on the rear side; the air inlet 7 of the heat dissipation system of the snow melting machine is opened on the left side panel and the right side panel, and the air outlet of the heat dissipation system is opened on the rear panel 12; this avoids the problem of the air outlet being located on the side of the box structure of the snow melting machine in the prior art, which causes an unfriendly experience for users.

[0035] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 1Based on the structure described above, we will now introduce the heat dissipation system installed inside the casing of this snow melting machine. This heat dissipation system is used to reduce the temperature rise of the refrigeration system of this snow melting machine during the refrigeration process.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the refrigeration system of this snow melting machine mainly includes a compressor 11, an exhaust pipe, a condenser 5, a dryer filter, a capillary tube, an evaporator, and a return pipe; the working steps of this refrigeration system are as follows:

[0037] S1: Compressor 11 works to compress the refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas;

[0038] S2: The exhaust pipe sends the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas into the condenser 5 for heat dissipation;

[0039] S3: In condenser 5, the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas releases heat and condenses into a saturated gas at room temperature and high pressure;

[0040] S4: The above-mentioned room temperature, high pressure refrigerant saturated liquid is then passed through a dryer filter to absorb its moisture and impurities;

[0041] S5: The above-mentioned room temperature, high pressure saturated refrigerant liquid, after removing moisture and impurities, is then throttled and depressurized through a capillary tube, becoming room temperature, low pressure wet vapor.

[0042] S6: The above-mentioned room temperature, low pressure wet steam begins to absorb heat and vaporize in the evaporator, which lowers the temperature of the evaporator and its surroundings. At the same time, the refrigeration unit also becomes a low temperature, low pressure gas.

[0043] S7: The aforementioned low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas returns to compressor 11 through the return pipe.

[0044] By repeating the above process, the heat of the liquid in the slushie container is transferred to the air, thus achieving the purpose of cooling.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the heat dissipation system of this snow melting machine includes a condenser fan 6 that operates frequently, a motor fan that operates frequently, an air inlet 7 for external air to enter the snow melting machine, and an air outlet for internal air to exit the snow melting machine. The condenser fan 6 also plays an auxiliary role in heat dissipation in the above step S3.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, this heat dissipation system also includes a compressor fan 9 and a temperature sensor 10, both of which are installed next to the compressor 11 of the refrigeration system. When the temperature sensor 10 detects a temperature greater than a first set value, the compressor fan 9 starts working; when the temperature sensor 10 detects a temperature less than a second set value, the compressor fan 9 stops working. The first set value is greater than the second set value. In high-temperature environments, such as when the ambient temperature is above 43°C, when the temperature sensor 10 detects that the temperature of the compressor 11 has risen to the first set value, the compressor fan 9 can start in time to increase the airflow inside the snow melting machine and reduce the temperature of the compressor 11, thereby preventing the compressor 11 from rising to the shutdown protection temperature and shutting down. This ensures that the compressor 11 can continue to work even in high-temperature environments. When the temperature sensor 10 detects that the temperature of the compressor 11 has dropped to the second set value, the compressor 11 can stop working in time without consuming additional energy, thus achieving the purpose of energy saving.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, it should be noted that the condenser fan 6 turns on when the compressor 11 is turned on and stops when the compressor 11 is turned off; the motor fan also starts or stops working depending on whether the motor is turned on or off.

[0048] The compressor fan 9 needs to meet two prerequisites to start working: first, the compressor 11 must also be turned on; second, the temperature sensor 10 must detect that the temperature is higher than the first set value.

[0049] If the compressor 11 is not working, the compressor fan 9 will not work regardless of whether the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 10 is higher than the first set value.

[0050] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 5 The air outlet includes a motor fan outlet 81, a circuit board (PCB) box outlet, and a condenser fan outlet 83; the condenser fan 6 is located between the condenser 5 and the condenser fan outlet 83; the motor fan is located between the motor and the motor fan outlet 81; a circuit board box fan is provided between the circuit board box and the circuit board box outlet 82; this embodiment enables the heat dissipation system to fully remove the heat generated by the circuit board box, the condenser 5, and the motor.

[0051] In another implementation, please refer to Figure 3 The air inlet 7 is also located on the front stand 3, which further enhances the heat dissipation effect of this heat dissipation system, especially the heat dissipation effect of the compressor 11 installed at the front of this housing structure.

[0052] In another embodiment, the first set value is 55°C and the second set value is 50°C. These temperatures are initial settings and can be adjusted later as needed. This embodiment provides a numerical selection of the first and second set values, and the designer can adaptively adjust these two values ​​according to the external environment and the shutdown protection temperature of the compressor 11.

[0053] In other implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the temperature sensor 10 is installed above the compressor 11 to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of temperature detection; the compressor fan 9 is installed in front of the compressor 11 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the compressor fan 9.

[0054] In summary, the design of this utility model, where the condenser 5 is fixedly mounted on the rear support 4, with the upper part of the condenser 5 fixed to the bracket 1 and the lower part fixed to the base 2, is more robust than the prior art where the plastic rear support 4 is solely fixed to the bracket 1 and base 2. This is because the condensers 5 in the prior art are made of sheet metal; after the sheet metal condenser 5 and the plastic rear support 4 are fixed together, the upper part of the sheet metal condenser 5 and the upper part of the plastic rear support 4 are together fixed to the bracket. In this invention, the lower part of the sheet metal condenser 5 and the lower part of the plastic rear support 4 are fixedly connected to the base 2. Essentially, the sheet metal condenser 5 and the plastic rear support 4 together form a rear support 4 assembly, achieving the effect of a sheet metal rear support 4 without changing the original material of the rear support 4. This ultimately solves the problem that in the prior art, the plastic rear support 4 of the snow melting machine casing is prone to breakage during transportation due to insufficient strength; and that replacing the plastic rear support 4 with a sheet metal rear support 4 results in higher production costs. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0055] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
