Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage device technology, and specifically to an air duct structure for a beverage device. Background Technology

[0002] A smoothie maker is a device used to make smoothie drinks, and its core component is a compressor refrigeration system. Currently, most smoothie makers use a partition to divide the space into two chambers: the upper chamber houses the evaporator, and the lower chamber houses the compressor and condenser.

[0003] This isolation design was originally intended to prevent the low temperature of the evaporator from affecting the heat dissipation of the condenser and to isolate noise. However, in reality, because the compressor and condenser generate a lot of heat when they are working, and this heat is enclosed in the small lower chamber, it is difficult for the heat to dissipate quickly. This leads to: excessively high temperature inside the chamber and poor heat dissipation; the compressor is prone to overheating and shutting down, affecting continuous use; reduced cooling efficiency and slower slush making; and long-term high-temperature operation can also shorten the machine's lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, the existing partition design severely limits the heat dissipation performance of the smoothie machine, which is a key issue that needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a duct structure for a beverage device to improve the poor heat dissipation of existing smoothie machines.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A ventilation structure for a beverage device includes a housing assembly with a cavity inside. An evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and a fan are disposed within the cavity. The housing assembly includes a front panel, a rear panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, and two side panels. Air inlets are formed on the rear panel and the two side panels, and an air outlet is also formed on the rear panel. The condenser and the fan are located at the air outlet. The fan rotates, drawing air from the air inlets into the cavity and then drawing air out of the air outlet.

[0007] Preferably, the evaporator is disposed between the front panel and the rear panel, and two connecting rods are provided between the evaporator and the rear panel to form an air duct between the two connecting rods.

[0008] Preferably, the air inlet on the rear panel is located at the top of the rear panel, and the air outlet is located at the bottom of the rear panel.

[0009] Preferably, a baffle plate is provided inside the air inlet on the rear plate.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting plate is provided between the water baffles, and the connecting plate is disposed through the water baffles.

[0011] Preferably, the water baffle is curved upwards.

[0012] Preferably, a horizontal bar and a vertical bar are provided at the air outlet, and the horizontal bar and the vertical bar are arranged in a crisscross pattern.

[0013] Preferably, the upper and lower parts of the crossbar near the fan end are provided with inclined surfaces.

[0014] The air duct structure of the beverage device of this utility model has the following beneficial effects: The air duct structure of this beverage unit effectively improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency and cooling performance by integrating the evaporator, compressor, condenser, and fan within the housing assembly, and by strategically placing air inlets and outlets on the rear and side panels, ensuring stable operation of the beverage unit. The air inlet with a baffle plate at the top of the rear panel and the air outlet at the bottom create a clear and unobstructed cooling airflow path, optimizing air circulation, significantly enhancing the condenser's heat dissipation, and effectively preventing external liquids from splashing into the equipment, thus improving safety and reliability. Furthermore, the cross-reinforcement design of the horizontal and vertical bars at the air outlet, along with the inclined guide surface, further strengthens the structure, optimizes the airflow organization, reduces wind resistance and turbulence, and achieves low-noise, high-efficiency, and stable exhaust.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method: The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: evaporator 1, compressor 2, condenser 3, fan 4, front panel 5, rear panel 6, top panel 7, bottom panel 8, side panel 9, air inlet 10, air outlet 11, connecting rod 12, baffle plate 13, connecting plate 14, horizontal bar 15, vertical bar 16, and inclined surface 17.

[0017] As attached Figure 1-6As shown in the figure, this embodiment illustrates the air duct structure of a beverage device. The beverage device includes a housing assembly, within which a receiving cavity is formed. An evaporator 1, a compressor 2, a condenser 3, and a fan 4 are housed within the cavity. The housing assembly is formed by a front panel 5, a rear panel 6, a top panel 7, a bottom panel 8, and two side panels 9. Air inlets 10 are formed on the rear panel 6 and both side panels 9, while a separate air outlet 11 is formed on the rear panel 6. The condenser 3 and the fan 4 are centrally located at this air outlet 11. The working principle is as follows: when the fan 4 rotates, it draws external cooling air into the receiving cavity through the air inlets 10 of the side panels 9 and the rear panel 6. After passing through the heat-generating components such as the condenser 3, the air absorbs heat and is ultimately forced out as hot air by the fan 4 from the air outlet 11 of the rear panel 6. This basic architecture adopts a "multi-sided air intake and single-sided forced exhaust" air duct mode, which increases the air intake area and ensures a sufficient supply of cooling air. At the same time, the condenser 3 and fan 4 are integrated into the air outlet 11 to form a highly efficient forced exhaust system, which can concentrate and quickly exhaust hot air outside the machine, effectively preventing heat from accumulating in the cavity.

[0018] The evaporator 1 is positioned between the front panel 5 and the rear panel 6, and is fixedly supported by two connecting rods 12 that connect the evaporator 1 and the rear panel 6. These two connecting rods 12 are not a solid structure, but rather form an air duct through which air can pass. This design combines mechanical support and airflow guidance; the two connecting rods 12 ensure the stability of the evaporator 1, while the channel between them optimizes the airflow path, reduces turbulence and wind resistance, and improves the airflow efficiency from the evaporator 1 to the condenser 3 zone.

[0019] The air inlet 10 and air outlet 11 on the rear panel 6 have a specific positional relationship: the air inlet 10 is located above the rear panel 6, while the air outlet 11 is located below the rear panel 6. This layout follows and utilizes thermodynamic principles. Although the forced force of the fan 4 is dominant, the "upward suction and downward exhaust" layout works in conjunction with the natural upward movement of hot air. After entering from above, the cold air absorbs the heat emitted by the condenser 3 and becomes hot air during its downward movement. The fan 4's downward suction can more effectively expel the less dense hot air, preventing hot air from accumulating at the top of the cavity.

[0020] A baffle plate 13 is installed inside the air inlet 10 above the rear panel 6. These baffle plates 13 are connected and reinforced by a connecting plate 14 that runs through all the baffle plates 13. Furthermore, the baffle plates 13 are designed to curve upwards. This design provides important safety protection; the upward-curving baffle plates 13 form an effective waterproof barrier, guiding any splashed liquid outwards due to their curved surfaces, preventing it from splashing straight into the machine. The internal connecting plate 14 acts as a "keel," enhancing structural strength and preventing vibration deformation. Simultaneously, its streamlined design minimizes air resistance, achieving waterproofing without compromising air intake efficiency.

[0021] At the air outlet 11 of the rear panel 6, horizontal bars 15 and vertical bars 16 are installed, forming a protective mesh in a crisscross pattern. The horizontal bars 15 have inclined surfaces 17 at the upper and lower parts near the fan 4. The crisscrossing bars provide necessary safety protection, preventing external objects or human fingers from contacting the high-speed rotating fan 4 blades. The inclined surface 17 is an aerodynamic optimization, providing a smooth guiding slope for airflow, allowing the exhaust airflow to pass through the protective mesh more smoothly and concentratedly, significantly reducing wind resistance and turbulence, thereby reducing energy loss and operating noise.

[0022] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
