Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoothie machine technology, and in particular to a composite drum inner liner for an evaporator of a smoothie machine. Background Technology
[0002] A smoothie maker is an electrical appliance specifically designed to crush, blend, and mix ice with other ingredients (such as fruits, syrups, and dairy products) to create smoothies, shaved ice, or frozen drinks. The inner drum is one of the core components of a smoothie maker. Existing smoothie makers have a coiled tube on the surface of the inner drum's evaporator, and the compressor injects refrigerant into the coiled tube, allowing heat exchange between the tube and the inner drum for cooling. However, this design results in a small contact area between the coiled tube and the inner drum, leading to a shorter cooling time. Furthermore, existing smoothie makers also have a perforated coiled tube and an outer cylinder on the surface of the inner drum's evaporator. The compressor injects refrigerant into the coiled tube and fills the outer cylinder with refrigerant to increase the heat exchange area. However, the outer cylinder and the inner drum are simply connected by welding, resulting in poor sealing and refrigerant leakage, which affects the cooling effect of the inner drum. Therefore, a new inner drum structure is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a composite drum inner liner for an evaporator of a smoothie machine. The inner liner is provided with a conveying component and an outer cylinder. The conveying component can spirally convey and release refrigerant in the accommodating cavity, which increases the heat exchange area of the inner liner. The sealing ring is set at the joint between the outer cylinder and the inner liner, which improves the sealing performance and prevents refrigerant from easily leaking, thereby improving the cooling effect of the inner liner.
[0004] A composite drum inner liner for an evaporator of a smoothie machine includes an inner liner body, an outer cylinder, a conveying component, and a sealing ring. The conveying component is disposed on the surface of the inner liner body and spirally conveys and releases refrigerant on the surface of the inner liner body.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so as to provide a clearer understanding of the technical concept claimed by the present invention.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a composite drum inner liner for an evaporator of a smoothie machine includes an inner liner 1, an outer cylinder 2, a conveying component 3, and a sealing ring 4. The conveying component 3 is disposed on the surface of the inner liner 1 and spirally conveys and releases refrigerant on the surface of the inner liner 1. The outer cylinder 2 is connected to the inner liner 1 and covers the surface of the inner liner 1 to form a receiving cavity. The sealing ring 4 is disposed at the joint between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner liner 1.
[0022] The working principle of the composite drum inner liner for the evaporator of the smoothie machine described in this utility model is achieved through the cooperation of the inner liner 1, the outer cylinder 2, the conveying component 3, and the sealing ring 4. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the inner liner 1 is equipped with a conveying component 3 and an outer cylinder 2. First, the compressor of the slush machine (not shown in the figure) injects refrigerant (such as fluorine) into the conveying component 3. The conveying component 3 spirally conveys and releases the refrigerant in the accommodating cavity, and makes the refrigerant evenly fill the accommodating cavity. The refrigerant in the accommodating cavity rapidly cools the inner liner 1. Compared with traditional slush machines, the composite drum inner liner of the evaporator of this slush machine increases the heat exchange area of the inner liner 1. The sealing ring 4 is set at the joint between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner liner 1, which improves the sealing performance and avoids easy leakage of refrigerant, thereby improving the cooling effect of the inner liner 1.
[0023] Specifically, an extension ring 5 is provided on one side of the inner liner 1, and an installation hole is provided on the other side of the inner liner 1. One side of the outer cylinder 2 is connected to the extension ring 5, and the other side of the outer cylinder 2 is connected to the inner liner 1. A receiving groove 6 surrounding the inner liner 1 is provided on the other side of the outer cylinder 2. Both the inner liner 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are inclined inwards from one side to the other, forming a frustum-shaped structure. Two sealing rings 4 are included: one sealing ring 4 is disposed in the receiving groove 6, and the other sealing ring 4 is disposed at the junction of the outer cylinder 2 and the extension ring 5. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the sealing ring 4 can be made of rubber material. The sealing ring 4 seals the gap between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner liner 1, improves the sealing performance between the inner liner 1 and the outer cylinder 2, and prevents the refrigerant from easily leaking out of the containment cavity.
[0024] Furthermore, the extension ring 5 is provided with an air inlet pipe 7 and an air return pipe 8. The sealing ring 4, located at the junction of the outer cylinder 2 and the extension ring 5, has two through holes 9. The air inlet pipe 7 and the air return pipe 8 pass through the two through holes 9, pass through the sealing ring 4, and extend into the accommodating cavity. In the first embodiment of the conveying component 3, the conveying component 3 is a spiral tube. One end of the conveying component 3 is connected to the air inlet pipe 7, and the other end of the conveying component 3 extends to the side of the accommodating cavity away from the extension ring 5. Figures 2 to 3 As shown, multiple fine nozzles can be provided on the spiral tube. The refrigerant is input into the conveying component 3 from the air inlet pipe 7, and the refrigerant is evenly sprayed out from the fine nozzles into the accommodating cavity, thereby making the refrigerant evenly fill the accommodating cavity. The fluorine in the accommodating cavity rapidly cools the inner liner 1. The refrigerant used in the accommodating cavity is discharged from the return pipe 8 for return gas, so as to transport the refrigerant in the accommodating cavity.
[0025] In the second embodiment of the conveying component 3, the conveying component 3 is a sleeve, the outer side of the conveying component 3 abuts against the inner side of the outer cylinder 2, and the outer side of the conveying component 3 is provided with a spiral groove 10 and a conveying channel 11 offset from the spiral groove 10. One end of the spiral groove 10 is connected to the return air pipe 8, and the other end of the spiral groove 10 is connected to the air inlet pipe 7 through the conveying channel 11. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the outer side of the conveying component 3 abuts against the inner side of the outer cylinder 2 and seals the spiral groove 10. The refrigerant is fed into the conveying component 3 along the air inlet pipe 7 and the conveying channel 11, and is conveyed from one end of the spiral tube away from the extension ring 5 to the other end, so that the refrigerant is conveyed and released along the spiral groove 10, and the refrigerant in the accommodating cavity is released faster. The refrigerant can fill the accommodating cavity more evenly and cool the inner liner 1 quickly. The refrigerant used in the accommodating cavity is conveyed from the spiral groove 10 to the return air pipe 8 for discharge, so as to convey the refrigerant in the accommodating cavity.
[0026] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
