Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brewing equipment, and in particular to a shock-absorbing seat for a cooler. Background Technology

[0002] In winemaking workshops, the cooler is a key piece of equipment, and its installation stability and operational reliability directly affect production efficiency and wine quality. Currently, coolers are typically fixed using simple support structures, which generally include brackets and bolted connections. However, in actual production, due to continuous equipment operation and the influence of surrounding mechanical vibrations, coolers are often exposed to a vibrating environment, and the existing support structures have limited shock absorption capabilities, making it difficult to effectively attenuate external vibrations and impacts.

[0003] The constant vibration of the cooler not only accelerates structural fatigue and wear on connections, shortening its lifespan, but also poses a risk of loosening or breaking internal piping due to vibration. This could lead to media leakage, affecting product quality and even creating safety hazards. Furthermore, existing support structures suffer from poor positioning accuracy, difficulty in disassembly and assembly, and limited versatility. Utility Model Content

[0004] To improve the poor vibration damping effect and lack of versatility of existing coolers after installation, this embodiment provides a vibration damping mount for a cooler.

[0005] The shock-absorbing base of the cooler provided according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: The shock absorber is a cylindrical tube with an open top and a closed bottom. The top of the front side wall and the top of the left and right side walls of the shock absorber together form a notch. A shock-absorbing spring is inserted inside the shock-absorbing cylinder to provide elastic cushioning. A washer, fixed to the top of the shock-absorbing spring, is movable between the top and bottom of the notch.

[0006] In some embodiments, a support plate is provided at the longitudinal center of the shock absorber cylinder, the support plate being used to support the bottom of the shock absorber spring.

[0007] In some embodiments, the shock absorber has a plug hole that penetrates the sidewalls on both sides of the shock absorber, and the support plate passes through the plug hole.

[0008] In some embodiments, the insertion hole extends from the front sidewall of the shock absorber to the rear sidewall of the shock absorber.

[0009] In some embodiments, the width of the support plate is smaller than the width of the sidewall on the corresponding side of the shock absorber.

[0010] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the shock absorber is fixed with bolts.

[0011] In some embodiments, the shock absorber cylinder has a drainage hole near its bottom.

[0012] In some embodiments, the drainage hole is disposed on the front sidewall of the shock absorber.

[0013] In some embodiments, the shock absorber has a rectangular cross-section.

[0014] In some embodiments, the shock absorber is made of 304 stainless steel.

[0015] When using the shock-absorbing base of this invention to support the cooler, the shock-absorbing base is arranged circumferentially along the cooler. The notch at the top of the shock-absorbing cylinder engages with the bottom edge of the cooler, allowing the bottom edge to extend into the notch and contact the gasket. The shock-absorbing spring inside the cylinder provides elastic support to the bottom of the cooler along the axial direction of the cooler via the gasket, effectively buffering vibrations and achieving good shock absorption. The reserved portions at the top of the left and right side walls of the shock-absorbing cylinder can limit the cooler's radial direction, ensuring accurate installation and positioning. The notch design can accommodate the installation requirements of coolers of different sizes, giving the shock-absorbing base strong versatility and making it suitable for various specifications of coolers.

They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a shock-absorbing base for a cooler, including a shock-absorbing cylinder 10, a shock-absorbing spring 20, and a gasket 30. The shock-absorbing cylinder 10 is a cylindrical shape with an open top and a closed bottom. The top of the front side wall and the top of the left and right side walls of the shock-absorbing cylinder 10 together form a notch 11, which is used to avoid the cooler being installed. The shock-absorbing spring 20 is inserted inside the shock-absorbing cylinder 10 to provide elastic cushioning. The gasket 30 is fixed to the top of the shock-absorbing spring 20 and can move between the top and bottom of the notch 11.

[0022] When the shock absorber is supported using the shock absorber base of this embodiment, the shock absorber base is arranged circumferentially along the cooler. The notch 11 at the top of the shock absorber cylinder 10 engages with the bottom edge of the cooler, allowing the bottom edge of the cooler to extend into the notch 11 and contact the gasket 30. The shock absorber spring 20 inside the shock absorber cylinder 10 provides elastic support to the bottom of the cooler along the axial direction of the cooler via the gasket 30, effectively buffering vibrations and achieving good shock absorption. The portion of the top of the left and right side walls of the shock absorber cylinder 10 can limit the cooler's position radially, ensuring accurate installation. The notch 11 can accommodate the installation requirements of coolers of different sizes, giving the shock absorber base strong versatility and making it suitable for various specifications of coolers.

[0023] The cross-section of the shock absorber 10 in this embodiment is preferably rectangular, making the overall shape of the shock absorber 10 square tube. The side walls of the square tube shock absorber 10 are flat, which can provide more sufficient and stable planar contact support for the gasket 30 and the bottom edge of the cooler that contacts the gasket 30. In some embodiments, the shock absorber 10 can be designed as a cylindrical tube or other conventional shapes as needed.

[0024] like Figure 2and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a support plate 40 is provided in the middle of the longitudinal direction of the shock absorber 10. This support plate 40 is used to support the bottom of the shock absorber spring 20. Positioning the support plate 40 in the middle of the axial direction of the shock absorber 10 shortens the length of the shock absorber spring 20, saving materials and reducing costs. Specifically, the shock absorber 10 has insertion holes 12 that penetrate the side walls on both sides of the shock absorber 10. Inserting the support plate 40 into the insertion holes 12 allows for convenient and quick installation of the support plate 40 and the shock absorber spring 20. Preferably, in this embodiment, the insertion holes 12 extend from the front side wall of the shock absorber 10 to the rear side wall, ensuring the integrity and structural strength of the left and right side walls of the shock absorber 10. In some embodiments, the insertion holes 12 may extend through the left and right side walls of the shock absorber 10, depending on the requirements.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the shock absorber 10 is fixed with bolts to ensure that the entire shock absorber seat is firmly installed. A drain hole 13 is provided near the bottom of the shock absorber 10. When cleaning the cooler, the cleaning fluid flows into the shock absorber 10 from the top opening and then flows out from the drain hole 13, preventing the cleaning fluid from stagnating in the shock absorber seat. This drain hole 13 not only drains the cleaning fluid but also facilitates the installation of bolts on the bottom wall of the shock absorber 10, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the shock absorber 10. Preferably, in this embodiment, the drain hole 13 is located on the front side wall of the shock absorber 10, facing the cooler, so that the discharge direction of the cleaning fluid in the shock absorber 10 is inward, preventing the cleaning fluid from flowing in different directions.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the width L1 of the support plate 40 is smaller than the width L2 of the corresponding side wall of the shock absorber 10. When the support plate 40 is inserted into the insertion hole 12, there are gaps between the two sides of the support plate 40 and the side wall of the shock absorber 10 in the width direction of the support plate 40. That is, gaps are left between the left and right sides of the support plate 40 and the left and right side walls of the shock absorber 10 in this embodiment, so that the cleaning fluid can flow through the support plate 40 and prevent the support plate 40 from retaining the cleaning fluid in the shock absorber 10.

[0027] In this embodiment, all components of the shock absorber are preferably made of 304 stainless steel. This material has properties such as wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can effectively ensure the service life of the shock absorber, while its environmental and hygienic performance also meets the relevant food safety requirements.

[0028] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0029] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
