Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment, and in particular to a refrigeration component with a clean passage and a beverage refrigeration device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional beverage refrigeration devices use beverage storage containers and condensing components to cool the beverages inside. However, due to usage requirements, beverage storage containers are generally made in large capacity, requiring large condensing components and a long time to cool the beverages inside, resulting in excessively long waiting times before use. Furthermore, current beverage refrigeration devices clean their internal pipes by introducing water into the beverage storage container and then draining it directly from the outlet. This cleaning method is not suitable for scenarios where other accessories are fixedly installed at the outlet, resulting in poor internal cleaning effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, which forms a cleaning channel through an additional cleaning pipe, thereby improving the flexibility of product cleaning and use.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution: A refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel includes a refrigeration housing, a refrigeration module disposed within the refrigeration housing, and an inner liner assembly. The refrigeration module includes an inner cavity formed by a refrigeration inner wall. The inner liner assembly is disposed within the inner cavity, and a refrigeration flow channel is formed between the outer wall of the inner liner assembly and the refrigeration inner wall. The refrigeration module is also provided with a feed channel communicating with the refrigeration flow channel. The refrigeration module is provided with a discharge pipe communicating with the refrigeration flow channel and a cleaning pipe. The feed channel, the refrigeration flow channel, and the discharge pipe form a discharge channel, and the feed channel, the refrigeration flow channel, and the cleaning pipe form a cleaning channel.

[0005] As described above, in the refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, the feed channel extends from the upper side of the refrigeration module to near the bottom of the inner cavity and communicates with the refrigeration flow channel, and the cleaning tube is near the bottom of the inner cavity and communicates with the refrigeration flow channel and the feed channel.

[0006] As described above, in the refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, the bottom of the inner cavity has a channel opening that extends radially to the outer peripheral surface of the refrigeration module. The channel opening is recessed at the junction of the feed channel and the inner cavity, and the cleaning tube is located at the channel opening.

[0007] As described above, in a refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, the refrigeration housing has a through hole opposite to the channel opening, and the cleaning tube passes through the through hole and connects to the internal channel opening.

[0008] As described above, in a refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, the discharge pipe is connected to the refrigeration flow channel near the upper side of the inner cavity, and the refrigeration flow channel forms a unique path extending from the connection point of the inlet channel to the connection point of the discharge pipe.

[0009] As described above, in a refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, the path of the refrigeration flow channel is a spiral path extending upward in a spiral shape along the outer wall of the inner liner assembly.

[0010] As described above, in the refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, the outer wall of the inner liner assembly is provided with a spiral groove along its outer periphery. When the inner liner assembly is installed in the inner cavity, the sidewall of the spiral groove approaches or abuts against the refrigeration inner wall to form the refrigeration flow channel.

[0011] As described above, the refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel further includes a heat insulation layer between the refrigeration housing and the refrigeration module.

[0012] This utility model also provides a beverage cooling device, including a frame, on which a cooling component with a cleaning channel as described above is provided, and a storage device installed on the cooling component is also provided on the frame.

[0013] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are: 1. This utility model provides a refrigeration component with a cleaning channel. It adopts a refrigeration flow channel formed between the refrigeration module and the inner liner component. The refrigeration flow channel allows the beverage flowing through it to directly contact the inner wall of the refrigeration system, thereby achieving rapid cooling. The beverage can be cooled and refrigerated from the moment it enters the refrigeration component until it is discharged from the outlet pipe, thus providing instant cold beverages. In addition, an extra cleaning pipe is added to the refrigeration component, so that the cleaning pipe and the refrigeration flow channel form a cleaning channel that can drain water independently. This makes the cleaning operation of the refrigeration component simpler and does not rely on the original outlet pipe, and is not limited by the usage environment.

[0014] 2. In particular, the cooling channel of this solution adopts a split structure. Since the depth of the inner cavity is one of the design structures that ensures the effective cooling path length of the cooling channel, although this solution proposes to directly split and rinse, the bottom of the deeper inner cavity may still be difficult to clean. This solution can quickly clean the bottom of the inner cavity by introducing clean water into the feeding channel. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a refrigeration assembly with a cleaning channel, including a refrigeration housing 21, a refrigeration module 22 disposed within the refrigeration housing 21, and an inner liner assembly 23. The refrigeration module 22 includes an inner cavity 220 formed by a refrigeration inner wall. The inner liner assembly 23 is disposed within the inner cavity 220, and a refrigeration flow channel 221 is formed between the outer wall of the inner liner assembly 23 and the refrigeration inner wall. The inner liner assembly 23 is also provided with a feeding channel 30 communicating with the refrigeration flow channel 221. The refrigeration module 22 is provided with a discharge pipe 31 communicating with the refrigeration flow channel 221 and a cleaning pipe 32. The feeding channel 30, the refrigeration flow channel 221, and the discharge pipe 31 form a discharge channel, and the feeding channel 30, the refrigeration flow channel 221, and the cleaning pipe 32 form a cleaning channel (e.g., ...). Figure 4(As indicated by the middle arrow). It utilizes a cooling flow channel formed between the cooling module and the inner liner assembly. This channel allows the beverage to directly contact the inner wall of the cooling system, achieving rapid cooling. The beverage is cooled from its input into the cooling assembly to its output from the outlet pipe, providing instant cold beverages. Furthermore, an additional cleaning pipe is added to the cooling assembly, forming a separate drainage channel with the cooling flow channel. This simplifies the cleaning process of the cooling assembly, eliminating reliance on the original outlet pipe and overcoming environmental limitations.

[0019] In particular, this solution adopts a split structure for the refrigeration channel. Since the depth of the inner cavity is one of the design structures that ensures the effective refrigeration path length of the refrigeration channel, although this solution proposes to directly split and rinse, the bottom of the deeper inner cavity may still be difficult to clean. This solution can quickly clean the inlet channel 30 by introducing clean water into the feed channel and directly exporting it through the cleaning pipe 32. Alternatively, the outlet pipe 31 can be blocked, generally through the downstream equipment or accessories connected to the outlet pipe, so that clean water enters the refrigeration channel 221 after passing through the feed channel 30 to clean the refrigeration channel 221. After opening the cleaning pipe 32, the clean water can be discharged, thus completing the cleaning process.

[0020] Therefore, in this design, the feeding channel 30 extends from the upper side of the inner liner assembly 23 to near the bottom of the inner cavity 220 and communicates with the cooling channel 221. The cleaning pipe 32 is near the bottom of the inner cavity 220 and communicates with both the cooling channel 221 and the feeding channel 30. This bottom-mounted design facilitates direct cleaning of the bottom of the inner cavity 220 and also cleans the cooling channel 221, for example, by allowing water to flow downwards within the cooling channel 221, thus flushing it and promoting drainage. Furthermore, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of various components, the specific structure is as follows: the bottom of the inner cavity 220 has a channel opening extending radially to the outer periphery of the cooling module 22. This channel opening is recessed at the point where the feeding channel 30 communicates with the inner cavity 220, and the cleaning pipe 32 is located at this channel opening. The refrigerator housing 21 has a through hole opposite to the channel opening.

[0021] In this embodiment of the utility model, an integrated refrigeration component is used to achieve instant cooling output of the input beverage. Of course, in order to make the refrigeration effect of the beverage flowing through the refrigeration component better, the path of the refrigeration channel 221 can be extended or the cross-sectional area of ​​the refrigeration channel 221 can be limited to enable the beverage to cool down quickly.

[0022] Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the feeding channel 30 extends from the upper side of the refrigeration module 22 to near the bottom of the inner cavity 220 and communicates with the refrigeration flow channel 221, and the discharge pipe 31 communicates with the refrigeration flow channel 221 near the upper side of the inner cavity 220. The refrigeration flow channel 221 forms a unique path extending from the connection point of the feeding channel 30 to the connection point of the discharge pipe 31. This ensures that the beverage enters the refrigeration flow channel 221 from the lower end of the refrigeration flow channel 221 and must flow through the entire refrigeration flow channel 221 before being discharged from the discharge pipe 31 on the upper side of the refrigeration flow channel 221, allowing it sufficient time to contact the refrigerated inner wall and meet the refrigeration requirements, thus achieving instant cooling. In other words, this solution restricts the flow trajectory of the beverage through the refrigeration flow channel 221, thereby effectively limiting the contact time between the beverage and the refrigerated inner wall.

[0023] Specifically, the cooling channel 221 can be obliquely opened along the outer wall of the inner liner assembly 23. In this embodiment of the invention, preferably, the cooling channel 221 is a spiral path extending upward in a spiral shape along the outer wall of the inner liner assembly 23. Its structure is simple, makes full use of space, and effectively increases the total flow path of the beverage.

[0024] This invention provides a refrigeration component for use in beverage refrigeration devices. Instead of using a traditional single-pipe design, its refrigeration flow channel is formed by the inner and outer surfaces of two components. This allows the beverage to directly contact the inner wall of the refrigeration system for cooling as it flows through, eliminating the need for pipe fittings and facilitating direct disassembly and cleaning. Specifically, the outer wall of the inner liner component 23 has a spiral groove 231 extending along its outer circumference. When the inner liner component 23 is installed in the inner cavity 220, the sidewall 2310 of the spiral groove 231 approaches or abuts against the inner wall of the refrigeration system, forming the refrigeration flow channel 221. This structure also avoids the clogging problems associated with pipe components. Through the design of the spiral groove 231, the inner liner component 23 detaches from the inner cavity 220 of the refrigeration component during disassembly, allowing the spiral groove 231 to leak out. This is equivalent to disassembling the refrigeration flow channel 221, making the entire refrigeration flow channel 221 more easily cleaned or cleared of blockages.

[0025] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the inner liner assembly 23 is provided with an installation port 232 on its upper side, and the installation part 2202 is located within the installation port 232. The installation part 2202 extends from the installation port 232 and is used to dock with the storage container. After docking, the feeding channel 30 is directly connected to the storage container, facilitating the input of beverages. The function of the installation port 232 is to further fix and limit the installation of the storage container.

[0026] In this design, the inner liner assembly has the following structure: the inner liner assembly 23 includes an annular mating portion 2300 and an upper mounting portion 2302; the mounting port 232 is located on the upper mounting portion 2302, and the upper mounting portion 2302 is detachably connected to the refrigeration module 22; the annular mating portion 2300 extends into the inner cavity 220. The mounting port 232 is mounted on the annular mating portion 2300. Its structure is simple; the spiral groove 231 is directly constructed through the annular mating portion 2300, forming a refrigeration flow channel 221 with the inner wall of the refrigeration module 2.

[0027] In this solution, the refrigeration module 22 includes an annular refrigeration inner wall, and a refrigeration pipe is provided in the refrigeration inner wall in a spiral arrangement. In this solution, the refrigeration inner wall is directly formed outside the refrigeration pipe. In this way, when refrigeration is performed, the refrigerant flows through the refrigeration pipe, and its cooling capacity can be absorbed by the refrigeration inner wall and directly act on the refrigeration flow channel 221 formed by the refrigeration inner wall, thereby realizing the provision of instant cold beverages.

[0028] In this solution, the refrigeration module 22 includes an annular refrigeration inner wall, and a refrigeration pipe is provided in the refrigeration inner wall in a spiral arrangement. In this solution, the refrigeration inner wall is directly formed outside the refrigeration pipe. In this way, when refrigeration is performed, the refrigerant flows through the refrigeration pipe, and its cooling capacity can be absorbed by the refrigeration inner wall and directly act on the refrigeration flow channel 221 formed by the refrigeration inner wall, thereby realizing the provision of instant cold beverages.

[0029] As an optimization, a heat insulation layer 211 is further provided between the refrigerator housing 21 and the refrigeration module 22 in this solution. This further prevents the cold air from the inner wall of the refrigeration unit from being transferred outward, thereby improving the refrigeration effect.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, this utility model also provides a beverage cooling device, including a frame 1, on which the aforementioned cooling component is mounted, and a storage container 11 installed on the cooling component. Since this cooling device uses the same cooling component, it also has the same beneficial effects.

[0031] This utility model provides a refrigeration component with a cleaning channel. It utilizes a refrigeration flow channel formed between the refrigeration module and the inner liner component. The refrigeration flow channel allows the beverage flowing through it to directly contact the inner wall of the refrigeration system, thereby achieving rapid cooling. The beverage can be cooled and refrigerated from the moment it enters the refrigeration component until it exits through the discharge pipe, thus providing instant-cooled beverages. In addition, an extra cleaning pipe is added to the refrigeration component, which, together with the refrigeration flow channel, forms a cleaning channel that can drain water independently. This makes the cleaning operation of the refrigeration component simpler and does not rely on the original discharge pipe, thus not being limited by the usage environment.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
