Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tea bar cabinets, and more specifically, it relates to a steam recovery and evaporation device for a tea bar cabinet and the tea bar cabinet thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Tea cabinets, as modern home or office appliances that integrate water boiling, tea brewing, and storage functions, generate a large amount of high-temperature steam during use (such as boiling water, keeping it warm, and making hot drinks). If this steam is not effectively treated, it will condense inside the cabinet or on the top, forming water accumulation. This not only easily breeds bacteria and mold, affecting hygiene and user experience, but may also seep into electrical components, causing safety hazards, or corrode the cabinet structure.
[0003] In existing technologies, some tea bar cabinets attempt to directly vent steam outside the cabinet through simple exhaust vents. However, this results in energy waste (the heat in the steam is not utilized) and may lead to increased indoor humidity in a confined space, even causing secondary pollution. Other solutions attempt to install condensation recovery devices inside the cabinet to collect and treat the steam as water. However, these devices are often complex in structure, occupy a large amount of space, and the condensate collection container requires frequent manual cleaning, making maintenance inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a steam recovery and evaporation device for a tea bar cabinet and the tea bar cabinet itself, thereby solving the hygiene problem caused by the high-temperature steam generated during the boiling process in existing tea bar cabinets.
[0005] A steam recovery and evaporation device for a tea bar cabinet includes: a base, the upper surface of which is provided with a collection groove; a heat dissipation backplate provided at the rear of the base; a front frame body installed on the upper surface of the base; a steam passage groove provided at the top of the front frame body; a gas collection hood, fixedly installed above the steam passage groove, and a negative pressure fan provided inside the gas collection hood; a first pipe, one end of which is connected to the outlet end of the gas collection hood, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet end of the steam passage groove; and a second pipe, one end of which is connected to the outlet end of the steam passage groove, and the other end of which is connected to the heat dissipation backplate.
[0006] Furthermore, the gas collection hood is configured as a trapezoidal structure, with the bottom ends on both sides contracting towards the negative pressure fan in the middle.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided inside the collection tank, and an absorption block is provided inside the collection tank through the fixing plate for adsorbing steam.
[0008] Furthermore, a cover is detachably provided on the collection tank; a first mounting cylinder and a second mounting cylinder are provided on the cover; the first mounting cylinder is connected to a first pipe, and the second mounting cylinder is connected to a second pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, a second threaded mounting post is provided inside the collection groove; the cover body has a through hole corresponding to the second threaded mounting post.
[0010] Furthermore, the interior of the collection tank is inclined, with a drain hole with a plug at the lowest point.
[0011] A tea bar cabinet having any one of the above-mentioned steam recovery evaporation devices.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] (1) The steam is actively drawn in by the negative pressure fan-driven steam collection hood, and combined with the optimized pipeline system (first pipeline and second pipeline), the steam is directed to the heat dissipation back plate area, which greatly improves the steam treatment efficiency and significantly reduces the humidity inside the cabinet and the environment.
[0014] (2) By using absorbent blocks (such as sponges, water-absorbing resins, etc.) set in the collection tank to perform preliminary adsorption and condensation pretreatment on the incoming steam, the humidity of the steam subsequently delivered to the heat dissipation back plate is reduced, effectively avoiding the problem of water droplets splashing and scale buildup caused by wet steam directly contacting the heat dissipation back plate, thus ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency and service life of the heat dissipation back plate.
[0015] (3) By combining the collection tank design with a detachable cover and the pre-installed pipe interface on the cover, the inspection and replacement of the absorbent block and the cleaning of the inside of the collection tank become extremely convenient. Users can quickly complete maintenance without complicated tools, solving the pain point of traditional condensate collection devices that require frequent manual cleaning.

[0027] Example 1:
[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a steam recovery and evaporation device for a tea bar cabinet includes a base 1, with a collection groove 46 on the upper surface of the base 1; a heat dissipation backplate 5 is provided at the rear of the base 1; specifically, the base 1 is injection molded, with the collection groove 46 integrally recessed on the upper surface, the interior of the collection groove 46 being inclined, with a drain hole 4601 with a plug at the lowest point. The heat dissipation backplate 5 is an aluminum alloy structure with multiple holes on its surface, and is fixed to the rear of the tea bar cabinet 100 by bolts. Located at the rear of the base 1, it integrates the power module heat sink and other electronic components of the tea bar cabinet.
[0029] The face frame body 2 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1; specifically, the front side of the base 1 is divided into a working area with a water heating function, the face frame body 1 is fastened and fixed on the base 1, and two rectangular steam passages 40 are opened on the top, facing the steam escape path of the water heating area.
[0030] A steam collection hood 41 is fixedly installed above the steam channel 40, and a negative pressure fan 42 is installed inside the steam collection hood 41. Specifically, the steam collection hood 41 adopts a trapezoidal body and is fixed to the top of the steam channel 40 by clips or screws. The negative pressure fan 42 is embedded in the center of the top of the steam collection hood 41. The two sloping sides of the body taper towards the center at a 15° angle, forming a gradually narrowing flow channel to enhance the steam gathering capacity. The negative pressure fan 42 draws steam in from the steam channel 40 and then discharges it from the main body 2 of the face frame through the pipe assembly.
[0031] Specifically, the piping assembly includes a first pipe 43, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the gas collection hood 41, and the other end of which is connected to the inlet of the steam channel 40; and a second pipe 44, one end of which is connected to the outlet of the steam channel 40, and the other end of which is connected to the heat dissipation backplate 5. The piping assembly uses a high-temperature resistant silicone hose.
[0032] To achieve vapor adsorption, a fixing plate 47 is provided inside the collection tank 46, and an absorbent block is installed inside the collection tank 46 via the fixing plate 47 for adsorbing vapor. In this design, the absorbent block is preferably a sponge.
[0033] To collect steam and prevent it from entering electronic components, a cover 45 is detachably provided on the collection tank 46. A first mounting cylinder 4503 and a second mounting cylinder 4502 are provided on the cover 45. The first mounting cylinder 4503 is connected to a first pipe 43, and the second mounting cylinder 4502 is connected to a second pipe 44. A second threaded mounting post 48 is provided inside the collection tank 46; the cover 45 has a through hole 4501 corresponding to the second threaded mounting post 48.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, a tea bar cabinet has any of the above-mentioned steam recovery evaporation devices.
[0036] Workflow:
[0037] When the kettle or health pot function in the tea bar cabinet is activated and the water temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius, the negative pressure fan 42 starts, creating a negative pressure zone within the steam collection hood 41. Steam is attracted by the negative pressure, enters through the steam channel 40, accelerates and converges along the converging slope of the trapezoidal hood, and is efficiently drawn into the hood.
[0038] Steam flows downwards into the collection tank 46 through the first pipe 43. After the steam comes into contact with the absorption block, some of the moisture is absorbed and condensed, significantly reducing the humidity of the remaining wet steam. After the water heating or health care function is stopped or turned off, the fan delays for 3 minutes to dry the pipes.
[0039] After prolonged use, the cover screws can be unscrewed, the cover lifted, the saturated absorbent block removed, and a new block replaced. The cover can then be reset to replace the absorbent block. When there is a large amount of water in the collection tank, a small amount of condensate will drain through the drain hole 4601 at the bottom of the tank into the evaporation tray at the bottom of the tea bar cabinet for collection and discharge.
[0040] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
