Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration technology, and in particular to an evaporator, a refrigeration component, and an ice food processor. Background Technology

[0002] In scenarios requiring both refrigeration and efficient heat exchange, such as in ice cream makers and other similar equipment, evaporators are often necessary to facilitate heat exchange. For example, an ice cream maker, also known as a shaved ice machine, is characterized by a cooling plate as the main operating space. The working surface of the cooling plate is typically below 0°C. Users pour liquids such as water or milk onto the cooling plate and stir it. After a certain period of cooling, the desired shaved ice, ice cream, or other food products are formed.

[0003] Ice food processors typically require an evaporator connected to a refrigeration system to cool the food. During normal operation, a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid mixture of refrigerant flows through the evaporator.

[0004] In existing technologies, evaporators typically have pipes installed, and the heat transfer path for cooling the refrigeration plate is: refrigerant → pipe → refrigeration plate, which is a long heat transfer path. In addition, the actual heat transfer area is the contact area between the pipe and the refrigeration plate, where heat conduction is limited, the utilization rate of refrigerant is not high, the heat transfer efficiency is low, and the heat transfer efficiency is greatly affected by the pipe diameter.

[0005] After optimizing the heat transfer path from refrigerant to pipe to cooling plate, a heat-conducting component (such as an aluminum plate) is installed between the pipe and the cooling plate by connecting them with a hot melt adhesive layer and a backing adhesive layer. The heat transfer path is: refrigerant → pipe → hot melt adhesive layer → heat-conducting component → backing adhesive layer → cooling plate. This method enhances the heat transfer uniformity, but still has the drawbacks of a long heat transfer path and low cooling efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the base plate is provided with an installation port communicating with the receiving groove, the partition extends to the installation port, and the partition is sealed to the base plate at the installation port.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the partition is provided with a limiting groove, the base plate has a limiting portion, and when the partition extends to the mounting port, the limiting groove is limited to the limiting portion.

[0013] In one alternative embodiment, the partition is bent and wound to form a loop-shaped structure, the loop-shaped structure comprising a plurality of alternating straight sections and a plurality of curved sections, the number of straight sections being the same as the number of curved sections, or the number of straight sections being one more than the number of curved sections, to achieve continuous cyclic flow of the refrigerant within the flow channel; the starting end of the loop-shaped structure corresponds to one end of the flow channel connecting to the inlet, and the ending end of the loop-shaped structure corresponds to the other end of the flow channel connecting to the outlet.

[0014] In one alternative embodiment, the bottom of the receiving tank has a corner, the outlet is located at the corner, and the inlet is located near the center of the base plate.

[0015] According to one aspect of the present invention, a refrigeration assembly is provided, including the evaporator; the base plate is connected to the refrigeration plate, and the refrigeration plate closes the opening of the receiving groove.

[0016] According to one aspect of the present invention, an ice food processor is provided, including a housing, a refrigeration system, an electronic control system, and the refrigeration components disposed in the housing; the electronic control system is connected to the refrigeration system, the inlet and the outlet are respectively connected to the refrigeration system, and the refrigeration system is used to supply refrigerant to the flow channel.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment include: providing an evaporator, the evaporator including a base plate and baffles, the baffles being disposed on the base plate to form a flow channel.

This results in high refrigerant utilization and high heat transfer efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] To facilitate readers' understanding of the design concept of this utility model, the evaporator 10p and the refrigeration plate 20p in the prior art are briefly described below.

[0031] Please see Figure 1In the prior art, the evaporator 10p is equipped with a pipe 101p, which is bent, coiled, and fixed to the refrigeration plate 20p. For example, the pipe 101p is fixed to the refrigeration plate 20p by welding. The pipe 101p is used for the inflow and outflow of refrigerant. The material of the pipe 101p can be copper or other metals with good thermal conductivity to ensure efficient heat exchange performance. Figure 1 In the existing technology, the heat transfer path is: refrigerant → pipe 101p → cooling plate 20p, which is a long heat transfer path. In addition, the actual heat transfer area is the contact area between pipe 101p and cooling plate 20p, where heat conduction is limited, the utilization rate of refrigerant is not high, the heat transfer efficiency is low, and the heat transfer efficiency is greatly affected by the diameter of pipe 101p.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This illustrates another structure of an evaporator 10p and a cooling plate 20p in the prior art. Figure 2 In this design, the evaporator 10p is equipped with a pipe 101p, which is bent and coiled for the inflow and outflow of refrigerant. The pipe 101p can be made of aluminum or other metals with good thermal conductivity to ensure efficient heat exchange. The pipe 101p is bonded to the heat-conducting component 40p via a hot-melt adhesive layer 30p. The heat-conducting component 40p can be an aluminum plate or other materials with good thermal conductivity. The heat-conducting component 40p is then fixedly connected to the cooling plate 20p via a backing adhesive layer 50p. Figure 2 In the existing technology, the heat transfer path is: refrigerant → pipe 101p → hot melt adhesive layer 30p → heat-conducting component 40p → backing adhesive layer 50p → cooling plate 20p. This method enhances the uniformity of heat transfer by setting the heat-conducting component 40p, but it still has the defects of long heat transfer path and low cooling efficiency.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4 The evaporator 10 provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a base plate 1 and baffles 2. The base plate 1 is provided with a receiving groove 1s and an inlet 1a and an outlet 1b communicating with the receiving groove 1s. Please refer to... Figure 5 The base plate 1 is connected to the refrigeration plate 3 so that the refrigeration plate 3 closes the slot 1g of the receiving groove 1s; the partition 2 is disposed in the receiving groove 1s to form a flow channel R, and the inlet 1a and the outlet 1b are respectively connected to the two ends of the flow channel R. In practical applications, the evaporator 10 is connected to the refrigeration plate 3. The refrigerant flows in from the inlet 1a, flows through the flow channel R, and flows out from the outlet 1b. During the flow, the refrigerant directly contacts the refrigeration plate 3 for heat exchange. The heat transfer path between the evaporator 10 and the refrigeration plate 3 is: refrigerant → refrigeration plate 3. The refrigerant directly exchanges heat with the refrigeration plate 3, the heat transfer path is short, the heat loss during the heat transfer process is small, and the evaporator 10 has high refrigeration efficiency for the refrigeration plate 3.

[0034] Furthermore, unlike existing technologies that use pipe 101p for heat transfer, and where the actual heat transfer area is between pipe 101p and cooling plate 20p (e.g., ... Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the refrigerant in the flow channel R acts directly on the refrigeration plate 3 in this embodiment of the invention, with different contact positions. This method is not limited by the contact area between the pipe 101p and the refrigeration plate 3, nor by the diameter of the pipe 101p, thus resulting in higher refrigerant utilization and higher heat transfer efficiency.

[0035] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and combination Figure 5 The side 101 of the base plate 1 where the slot 1g of the receiving groove 1s is located is flush with the side 201 of the partition 2 facing away from the receiving groove 1s. The side 101 of the base plate 1 where the slot 1g of the receiving groove 1s is located is used to connect to the refrigeration plate 3. The side 201 of the partition 2 facing away from the receiving groove 1s is used to connect to the refrigeration plate 3. When the base plate 1 is connected to the refrigeration plate 3 and the partition 2 is connected to the refrigeration plate 3, a stable and reliable connection interface can be formed between the refrigeration plate 3 and the base plate 1 or the partition 2. On the one hand, it avoids the connection gap between the base plate 1 and the refrigeration plate 3, ensuring the sealed flow of the refrigerant in the flow channel R and reducing the risk of refrigerant leakage. On the other hand, it avoids the connection gap between the partition 2 and the refrigeration plate 3, which facilitates the formation of a single flow direction of the refrigerant in the flow channel R, avoiding the refrigerant from splitting or flowing turbulently in the flow channel R, and ensuring heat exchange efficiency.

[0036] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 and combination Figure 3 The base plate 1 is provided with an installation port 1c communicating with the receiving groove 1s. The partition 2 extends to the installation port 1c and is sealed to the base plate 1 at the installation port 1c. This arrangement fulfills the structural requirement of assembling the partition 2 onto the base plate 1, ensuring the stability of the flow channel R, the stability of the refrigerant flow within the flow channel R, and the uniformity of the refrigerant's cooling of the cooling plate 3.

[0037] The mounting port 1c is adapted to the structure of the partition 2. This utility model embodiment does not specifically limit the shape, size and position of the mounting port 1c. The mounting port 1c can be flexibly set according to the shape of the partition 2 and the installation requirements, as long as the sealing connection between the partition 2 and the base plate 1 can be achieved.

[0038] In some embodiments, the partition 2 is welded to the base plate 1 at the mounting port 1c, which not only achieves the connection between the partition 2 and the base plate 1, but also ensures a reliable seal between them. It is understood that the sealing connection between the partition 2 and the base plate 1 at the mounting port 1c is not limited to welding; it can also be achieved through bonding or by pressing with a sealing ring.

[0039] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The partition 2 is provided with a limiting groove 2s, and the base plate 1 has a limiting part 102. When the partition 2 extends to the mounting port 1c, the limiting groove 2s is limited by the limiting part 102. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 2s and the limiting part 102, the assembly position of the partition 2 at the mounting port 1c can be accurately positioned, which not only improves the assembly efficiency of assembling the partition 2 onto the base plate 1, but also ensures the alignment accuracy between the partition 2 and the mounting port 1c, effectively reducing the risk of the partition 2 shifting or misaligning during the assembly process.

[0040] In addition, when the partition 2 is sealed to the base plate 1, the limiting groove 2s and the limiting part 102 cooperate to pre-fix the partition 2, providing a stable foundation for subsequent sealing connection operations such as welding, bonding or pressing, and ensuring the ease of operation, accuracy and reliability of the sealing connection.

[0041] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The base plate 1 includes a bottom wall 11 and a side wall 12. The side wall 12 surrounds the bottom wall 11, and the bottom wall 11 and the side wall 12 enclose each other to form the receiving groove 1s. The limiting part 102 is located on the bottom wall 11, and the mounting port 1c is located on the bottom wall 11. Through this limitation, a specific implementation structure of the base plate 1 is provided, ensuring a sealed connection between the partition 2 and the bottom wall 11 of the base plate 1 through the mounting port 1c.

[0042] The cross-section of the side wall 12 can be rectangular, with rounded corners to reduce stress concentration and improve structural strength and safety. The cross-section of the side wall 12 refers to the shape of the cross-section obtained by taking a section perpendicular to the direction of the bottom wall 11. It is understood that the cross-section of the side wall 12 can also be other shapes, such as hexagonal.

[0043] Understandably, please continue reading. Figure 4 Both the inlet 1a and the outlet 1b can be located on the bottom wall 11 or the side wall 12, or the inlet 1a and the outlet 1b can be located on the bottom wall 11 and the side wall 12 respectively, depending on the direction of the flow channel R C1 (e.g. Figure 6 The specific implementation form of the partition 2 is designed as shown in the figure.

[0044] Among them, the direction of flow channel R, C1, is also the flow direction of the refrigerant in flow channel R. Figure 6 (Indicated by an arrow).

[0045] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 4 and combination Figure 6 There are multiple mounting ports 1c. Along the flow channel R, direction C1, a limiting part 102 is formed between two adjacent mounting ports 1c. There are multiple limiting parts 102 and multiple limiting grooves 2s. The number of limiting parts 102 is the same as the number of limiting grooves 2s. One limiting groove 2s is limited by one limiting part 102. Through the cooperation of multiple limiting grooves 2s and multiple limiting parts 102, the assembly position of the partition 2 at the mounting port 1c can be further accurately positioned. In addition, when the partition 2 is sealed to the base plate 1, the limiting grooves 2s and limiting parts 102 cooperate to achieve a more stable pre-fixation of the partition 2, providing a stable foundation for subsequent sealing connection operations such as welding, bonding or pressing, and further ensuring the ease of operation, accuracy and reliability of the sealing connection.

[0046] It is understood that, since the limiting part 102 is formed between two adjacent mounting ports 1c, the number of mounting ports 1c is one more than the number of limiting parts 102. That is, when multiple mounting ports 1c are provided, the number of limiting parts 102 is one less than the number of mounting ports 1c.

[0047] The number of mounting ports 1c can be designed according to the complexity of the actual flow channel R and the length of the partition 2 along the flow channel R C1. The more complex the flow channel R and the longer the length of the partition 2 along the flow channel R C1, the more mounting ports 1c are required to ensure the ease of assembly, assembly accuracy and pre-fixation stability of the partition 2.

[0048] In this embodiment, the partition 2 is disposed within the receiving groove 1s and together with the base plate 1 forms a flow channel R. The arrangement of the partition 2 determines the direction C1 of the flow channel R. In some embodiments, the partition 2 is bent and rolled to form a loop-shaped structure, then the direction C1 of the flow channel R is loop-shaped. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the partition 2 is bent in an S-shape (or serpentine shape), then the direction C1 of the flow channel R is correspondingly S-shaped (or serpentine).

[0049] It is understandable that the partition 2 is bent and wound, and a part of the flow channel R is formed between the partition 2 and the side wall 12 of the base plate 1. Another part of the flow channel R is formed between the various sections of the partition 2. The bending and winding direction of the partition 2 corresponds to the direction C1 of the flow channel R. The direction C1 of the flow channel R determines the flow direction of the refrigerant in the flow channel R.

[0050] The bending and winding direction of the spacer 2 can be as follows: Figure 6The clockwise direction shown can also be counterclockwise (not shown in the figure).

[0051] When the partition 2 is bent and wound to form a loop structure, in some embodiments, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 4 and combination Figure 6 The loop structure includes multiple alternating straight sections 21 and multiple curved sections 22. The number of straight sections 21 and the number of curved sections 22 are the same, or the number of straight sections 21 is one more than the number of curved sections 22. Specifically, it can be set according to actual needs to achieve continuous cyclic flow of refrigerant in the flow channel R. The straight sections 21 provide a stable flow channel, while the curved sections 22 guide the change of the refrigerant flow direction. Figure 6 (Indicated by an arrow).

[0052] It is understandable that when the partition 2 is bent and rolled to form a U-shaped structure, the multiple mounting ports 1c provided on the base plate 1 are arranged in a U-shape to accommodate the installation requirements of the partition 2.

[0053] It is worth noting that when the partition 2 has the aforementioned limiting groove 2s, the limiting groove 2s is located in the straight section 21. When there are multiple limiting grooves 2s, the multiple limiting grooves 2s are distributed in different straight sections 21. A longer straight section 21 can be provided with more limiting grooves 2s, and a shorter straight section 21 can be provided with fewer limiting grooves 2s, so as to adapt to the positioning requirements of straight sections 21 of different lengths.

[0054] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the spacer 2 has a preset width in a direction perpendicular to the bending and winding direction of the spacer 2, such as 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, etc. The design of this preset width takes into account both the flow area of ​​the flow channel R and the structural strength of the spacer 2.

[0055] The flow area of ​​the flow channel R is approximately equal to the product of the length of the partition 2 and the width of the flow channel R. The length of the partition 2 is the total unfolded length along its bending and winding direction. The width of the flow channel R is the distance between two adjacent straight sections 21 in a direction perpendicular to the bending and winding direction of the partition 2. The width of the flow channel R can be optimized according to the refrigerant flow requirements, for example, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, etc., to balance flow resistance and heat exchange efficiency.

[0056] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the width of the flow channel R can be set uniformly to simplify the manufacturing process and ensure the uniformity of refrigerant flow.

[0057] It is understood that the diameter of inlet 1a should be smaller than the width of the flow channel R, and the diameter of outlet 1b should be smaller than the width of the flow channel R. For example, the diameter of inlet 1a is 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm, and the diameter of outlet 1b is 6mm, 7mm, or 8mm.

[0058] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 The starting end 2a of the loop-shaped structure corresponds to one end of the flow channel R, and the ending end 2b of the loop-shaped structure corresponds to the other end of the flow channel R. The inlet 1a and the outlet 1b are respectively connected to one end of the flow channel R and the other end of the flow channel R. For example, the inlet 1a is connected to one end of the flow channel R, that is, the inlet 1a is close to the starting end 2a of the loop-shaped structure, and the outlet 1b is connected to the other end of the flow channel R, that is, the outlet 1b is set to correspond to the ending end 2b of the loop-shaped structure. Alternatively, the inlet 1a is connected to the other end of the flow channel R, and the outlet 1b is connected to one end of the flow channel R. The specific connection method is adapted according to the design requirements of the refrigerant flow direction to ensure that the refrigerant in the flow channel R achieves orderly and continuous flow from the inlet 1a to the outlet 1b.

[0059] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the bottom of the receiving tank 1s has a corner position 1d, the outlet 1b is located at the corner position 1d, and the inlet 1a is located near the center of the bottom plate 1. The center of the bottom plate 1 corresponds to the center of the bottom wall 11 and the center of the bottom of the receiving tank 1s. The inlet 1a is located near the center of the bottom plate 1, so that the refrigerant enters the flow channel R near the center of the bottom plate 1, flows through the flow channel R, and exits from the outlet 1b at the corner position 1d of the bottom of the receiving tank 1s, forming a radial flow path from the center to the edge; please refer to... Figure 5 After the evaporator 10 is placed on the cooling plate 3, the temperature at the center of the cooling plate 3 is the lowest, and the temperature at the edge of the cooling plate 3 is relatively higher. Generally, users are accustomed to pouring liquid food into the center of the cooling plate 3, so that they can use the low temperature area at the center of the cooling plate 3 to quickly prepare frozen food.

[0060] It is understood that when the cross-section of the side wall 12 of the base plate 1 is rectangular, the number of corner positions 1d at the bottom of the receiving groove 1s is four, and the outlet 1b can be set at any corner position 1d.

[0061] Please see Figure 5 and combination Figure 6 This utility model embodiment provides a refrigeration assembly 100, including a refrigeration plate 3 and an evaporator 10, wherein the refrigeration plate 3 has a working surface 31 (e.g., Figure 7As shown in the diagram, the evaporator 10 has a working surface 31 and a mounting surface 32 opposite to it. The working surface 31 is used for pouring liquid ingredients and preparing frozen foods, while the mounting surface 32 is used for mounting the evaporator 10. Specifically, the base plate 1 of the evaporator 10 is connected to the mounting surface 32 of the refrigeration plate 3 by bonding or welding, and the refrigeration plate 3 closes the slot 1g of the receiving groove 1s of the base plate 1. For the specific structure and function of the evaporator 10, please refer to the foregoing description, which will not be repeated here. Through this refrigeration assembly 100, the refrigerant in the evaporator 10 directly contacts the mounting surface 32 of the refrigeration plate 3 for heat exchange. The heat transfer path is short, the heat loss during the heat transfer process is small, and the evaporator 10 has high refrigeration efficiency for the refrigeration plate 3.

[0062] It is worth noting that the dimensions of the base plate 1 can be adapted to the mounting surface 32 of the refrigeration plate 3 to ensure full utilization of the refrigerant in the flow channel R in the base plate 1. For example, if the dimensions of the mounting surface 32 of the refrigeration plate 3 are 320mm*205mm, then the dimensions of the base plate 1 are also 320mm*205mm. When the base plate 1 is provided with a bottom wall 11 and a side wall 12, the dimensions of the bottom wall 11 are adapted to the mounting surface 32 of the refrigeration plate 3, that is, the dimensions of the bottom wall 11 can be set to 320mm*205mm. At the same time, the height of the side wall 12 (the dimension of the side wall 12 extending relative to the bottom wall 11) can also be limited, for example, to 7mm or other dimensions, to ensure the volume of the flow channel R.

[0063] When the side 101 of the base plate 1 where the slot 1g of the receiving groove 1s of the base plate 1 is located is flush with the side 201 of the partition 2 that is away from the receiving groove 1s, the side 101 of the base plate 1 where the slot 1g of the receiving groove 1s is located is connected to the cooling plate 3 by welding or bonding, etc., and the side 201 of the partition 2 that is away from the receiving groove 1s is connected to the cooling plate 3 by welding or bonding, etc.

[0064] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the refrigeration assembly 100 also includes an inlet pipe 4 connected to the inlet 1a and an outlet pipe 5 connected to the outlet 1b. The arrangement of the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5 facilitates the entry and exit of the refrigerant into and out of the flow channel R.

[0065] Please see Figure 7 This utility model embodiment also provides an ice food processor 1000, including a housing 6, a refrigeration system (not shown), an electronic control system (not shown), and a refrigeration assembly 100 disposed inside the housing 6; the electronic control system is connected to the refrigeration system, and the inlet 1a and outlet 1b of the evaporator 10 in the refrigeration assembly 100 are respectively connected to the refrigeration system, which supplies refrigerant to the evaporator 10 to form a closed refrigeration cycle. For the specific structure and function of the refrigeration assembly 100, please refer to the foregoing description, which will not be repeated here.

[0066] The function of a refrigeration system is to supply refrigerant. Refrigeration systems can be implemented in various ways. For example, a refrigeration system can use a compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator 10 to form a vapor compression cycle system. Alternatively, it can be implemented using absorption or thermoelectric refrigeration methods. The specific method can be chosen according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0067] It should be noted that while the preferred embodiments of this utility model are provided in the specification and accompanying drawings, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.
