Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cooling water device and a water outlet device. Background Technology

[0002] Because under-counter refrigerated sparkling water machines use a squeezing method to dispense cold water, the cold water replacement rate is very low. Currently, most high-flow cold beverage machines on the market use energy storage cold water tanks, and their water dispensing generally adopts a squeezing structure. In existing squeezing structures, the room temperature water entering directly impacts the cold water at the bottom, meaning that the room temperature water quickly reaches the outlet below. This causes the room temperature water and cold water to mix too quickly, resulting in the already cooled cold water temperature rising too rapidly. Consequently, the cold water output is very low and cannot meet the user's demand for low-temperature water. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cooling water device and a water outlet device.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A cooling water device and a water outlet device include a body having a cavity, a cooling device being disposed within the cavity, an inlet pipe being disposed above the body, the outlet end of the inlet pipe being able to extend into the cavity, a water baffle being disposed within the cavity, the water baffle being able to prevent water from the inlet pipe from directly impacting the cavity, the outlet end of the inlet pipe being able to cooperate with the water baffle, so that water from the inlet pipe flows into the water baffle and then overflows from the water baffle into the cavity, and a water outlet pipe being disposed below the cavity and being able to cooperate and connect with the cavity.

[0006] In this embodiment of the utility model, the outlet end of the water inlet pipe can extend into the water-blocking groove, and a water-passing gap is formed between the water inlet pipe and the water-blocking groove, so that the water flow in the water inlet pipe can flow into the cavity after passing through the water gap.

[0007] In this embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the water-blocking groove is larger than the large diameter of the water inlet pipe.

[0008] In this embodiment of the invention, a baffle plate is provided above the cavity, and a baffle groove is provided on the baffle plate.

[0009] In this embodiment of the invention, an exhaust channel is provided on the side wall above the cavity, and a float ball that can block the exhaust is provided in the exhaust channel.

[0010] In this embodiment of the utility model, the exhaust channel includes an air inlet and an air outlet, and a floating space is formed between the air inlet and the air outlet. The float is set in the floating space, and the upward movement of the float can block the air outlet.

[0011] In this embodiment of the invention, a sealing ring that can cooperate with the float is provided on the inner circumference of the air outlet.

[0012] In this embodiment of the invention, a sensor capable of detecting the water temperature inside the cavity is also included, and the sensor can be mounted inside the cavity via a baffle plate.

[0013] In this embodiment of the invention, a heat insulation layer is also provided on the outer periphery of the main body.

[0014] This utility model also discloses another technical feature:

[0015] A water outlet device, comprising the aforementioned chilled water device.

[0016] This utility model discloses a cooling water device and a water outlet device, which have the following beneficial effects: by optimizing the water distribution structure and drainage design, the mixing speed of room temperature water and cold water is significantly reduced, the cold water replacement efficiency is improved, and the cold water output is increased.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0026] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the device includes a main body 1 (also known as a cold water tank), an insulation layer 2, a water inlet pipe 3, a water baffle 4, a water baffle groove 5 (whose cross-section can be circular), a water outlet pipe 6, an exhaust channel 7, an air inlet 8, an air outlet 9, a floating space 10, a float ball 11, a sealing ring 12, a refrigeration module 13, and a temperature sensor 14.

[0027] First, the main body 1 is the core component of this invention, containing multiple functional components to achieve efficient cold water replacement and stable water temperature control. An insulation layer 2 is provided on the exterior of the main body 1. This insulation layer 2 can be made of a material with high thermal conductivity, effectively reducing cold loss and maintaining a stable internal water temperature. The thickness of the insulation layer 2 can be adjusted according to actual usage requirements to adapt to different environmental conditions.

[0028] The water inlet pipe 3 is located at the top of the main body 1, with one end outside the main body 1 and the other end extending into the top of the inner cavity of the main body 1. The external port of the water inlet pipe 3 is connected to the water supply system to introduce room temperature water into the main body 1. The inner diameter of the water inlet pipe 3 is designed according to the water flow rate and water pressure to ensure that the water can flow smoothly into the main body 1. The outlet end of the water inlet pipe 3 can extend into the water baffle 5 provided on the baffle plate 4. The diameter of the water baffle 5 is larger than the diameter of the water inlet pipe 3, ensuring that the water flow does not directly impact the bottom of the main body 1, but flows into the water baffle 5 first.

[0029] A baffle plate 4 is installed inside the body 1 to separate different areas and prevent water from directly impacting the bottom of the body 1, thereby slowing down the mixing speed of hot and cold water. A baffle groove 5 is installed on the baffle plate 4. The diameter of the baffle groove 5 is larger than the diameter of the inlet pipe 3, ensuring that the outlet end of the inlet pipe 3 can extend into the baffle groove 5. A water passage gap 15 is formed between the inlet pipe 3 and the baffle groove 5. Water flows evenly into the baffle groove 5 through this gap and then overflows from the baffle groove 5 to the periphery of the body 1's inner cavity. A gap is provided between the top of the baffle groove 5 and the top of the body 1, forming a water channel to ensure that the water flow can be evenly distributed around the water tank, preventing localized impacts that could cause the hot and cold water to mix too quickly.

[0030] When room temperature water enters the main body 1 through the inlet pipe 3, the water flow first flows into the baffle trough 5. Since the diameter of the baffle trough 5 is larger than the diameter of the inlet pipe 3, the water flow is evenly dispersed within the baffle trough 5, forming multiple small water columns. These small water columns are evenly distributed around the inner cavity of the main body 1 through the water passage gap between the inlet pipe 3 and the baffle trough 5. In this way, the water pressure is evenly distributed, preventing the water flow from directly impacting the bottom of the main body 1, thereby slowing down the mixing speed of hot and cold water and improving the cold water replacement efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, a water outlet pipe 6 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1 for discharging the treated cold water. The water outlet pipe 6 is located at the bottom of the main body 1.

[0032] An exhaust channel 7 is provided on the upper side wall of the main body 1 to expel air from inside the main body 1. The exhaust channel 7 includes an air inlet 8 and an air outlet 9, forming a floating space 10 in the middle. A float 11 is provided in the floating space 10. When the water level rises, the float 11 floats up and blocks the air outlet 9, preventing water from flowing out of the cavity. A sealing ring 12 is provided on the inner circumference of the air outlet 9, which cooperates with the float 11 to enhance the sealing effect.

[0033] The main body 1 is also equipped with a refrigeration module 13 for cooling water, which can use a condenser tube.

[0034] Temperature sensor 14 is mounted inside the main body 1 via baffle 4 to monitor the water temperature in the cavity in real time and feed the data back to the control system. The design of temperature sensor 14 ensures that it can accurately measure the water temperature at different water levels, thereby achieving precise temperature control. The control system adjusts the working state of the cooling module 13 based on the feedback data from temperature sensor 14 to maintain the water temperature inside the main body 1 within the set range.

[0035] During operation, when room temperature water enters the main body 1 through the inlet pipe 3, the water flow first flows into the baffle trough 5. The baffle trough 5 evenly disperses the water flow, forming multiple small water columns. These small water columns are evenly distributed around the inner cavity of the main body 1 through the water passage gap between the inlet pipe 3 and the baffle trough 5. The water pressure is evenly distributed, preventing the water flow from directly impacting the bottom of the main body 1, thereby slowing down the mixing speed of hot and cold water.

[0036] The structural design of this utility model allows water to be evenly distributed around the inner cavity of the main body 1, avoiding the problem of excessively rapid mixing of hot and cold water caused by localized impacts. This device not only effectively solves the shortcomings of existing technologies but also has advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, and easy maintenance, possessing high practical value and market prospects. Specifically: To address the defects and shortcomings of existing technologies, a cold water distribution structure is provided. The single water column entering the tank is evenly dispersed through a circular baffle groove, ensuring that the incoming water pressure is evenly distributed around the water tank. Then, the cold water inside the tank is evenly squeezed, causing the hot and cold water to be discharged evenly in layers. This makes fuller use of the water tank volume and results in higher cold water replacement efficiency.

[0037] This utility model also discloses another technical feature:

[0038] A water outlet device, including the aforementioned chilled water device, can improve the efficiency of heat exchange and ensure that the prepared chilled water is not heated up too quickly, making it convenient for people to use the chilled water.

[0039] The foregoing description illustrates and describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. As previously stated, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the forms disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments. It can be used in various other combinations, modifications, and environments, and can be altered within the scope of the inventive concept described herein through the foregoing teachings or related technical or knowledge.
